Yun Sheng Depths

Chapter 2

The letter roughly stated the purpose of coming, which was similar to Lu Jia's memory.

After reading it, Lu Jia motioned to the abbot, and sat opposite him, "Master Mingxin, my father said, I am already terminally ill, and the medicine and stone are useless. The court in Beijing is treacherous, and the situation is unpredictable. My life can be called the art of bringing the dead back to life, so I was sent to Puji Temple."

Ming Xin nodded, "That's right, your father has the world in his heart and is merciful by nature. He concealed his name for me after becoming a prime minister, and avoided court forever. To save your life, I should have done my best."

He frowned tightly again, "I have seen your illness for you before. You were dead, and you were born with a fetus. You couldn't make up for it, and you suffered from a high fever for three days. It completely damaged your foundation. It is the limit to live beyond 20 years old." , Back then, I left a pair of medicine, which was considered to be hanging your life, and you lived for a few more years."

Lu Jia nodded. Although he had just gotten used to the condition of this body, he could still feel the weakness. "Master, then am I hopeless?"

Mingxin looked at the incense burner at the side, only the half-finger-long incense sticks were still burning, "This mountain is called Xiaochongshan, and there is a treasure in the mountain. It is decocted from the mountain spring water behind Puji Temple and taken. The flesh and bones are alive. Dead people. It’s just that the treasure disappeared many years ago, and the mountain spring has not flowed for many years.”

Ming Xin fiddled with the rosary beads on his wrist, and said: "Coincidentally, just as Lao Meng's letter arrived this time, the spring gushed out a trickle. It should be the blessing of the benefactor."

Ming Xin took the letter and put it in a small cabinet at the side, "It's just that the foundation of the benefactor has been damaged. I tried my best to let you live a few more years. It can't be completely cured. I hope I have prepared for it."

Lu Jia nodded.

Mingxin called the little monk and said, "Huijue, from today onwards, Benefactor Meng will live in a separate courtyard next to the mountain spring for the convenience of taking medicine. After eating, you can take him there."

After Lu Jia thanked him, he followed the young monk at the door and walked to the dining hall.

The little monk went to the back to pick vegetables for cooking, while Lu Jia was sitting in the courtyard bored, his knuckles clasped lightly on his knees.

After sitting on my knees for a short while, my legs became numb and throbbing.

"From what the mage said, I don't seem to be able to live long."

The system said, "When Mr. Lu's mission is not completed, nothing will happen to this body."

Lu Jia sighed, "So the elixir is useless?"

The system hesitated for a moment, "It can improve Mr. Lu's body."

Lu Jia said: "Then let's go, with this body, I'm afraid a piece of tofu can kill me."

After eating, Yuan Bao went to the back mountain with the coachman first, and Lu Jia went to say goodbye to the abbot before going up the mountain with the little monk.

"Ahˉˉ", Yuan Bao's sharp voice cut through the foggy evening.

Immediately afterwards, several flocks of sparrows fluttered in the quiet and peaceful Houshan courtyard.

The little monk grabbed Lu Jia's hand tightly and hurried to the other courtyard.

Lu Jiafu was panting beside the ancient tree at the gate of the courtyard.

Yuan Bao rushed out in a panic, stuck to Lu Jia's back, grabbed his arm with both hands, and strangled him painfully.

It seemed that there was a man-eating ghost in the gate of the courtyard, and it was about to bite it with a ferocious face.

Lu Jia was out of breath. "Yuan Bao, you, you speak slowly, I take a breath."

There wasn't enough air in his lungs, so Lu Jia coughed a few times before he recovered.

Only then did he ask Yuan Bao, who had been holding onto his arm, and said, "What's the matter, there are wild animals in the house."

"Young...young master...snake...," Yuan Bao's small body trembled, "Master, it's scary, it's scary to death."

Lu Jia pulled him away and pressed his hand, walked over, and pushed open the door.

boom--

Yuan Bao pulled Lu Jia out and slammed the door behind him.

He desperately took Lu Jia's hand again.

Lu Jia could only press his hand, pat the back of his hand, and still asked him: "Yuan Bao, what did you see?"

Yuan Bao cried, "Master, I saw a snake in the room, covered in blood, with red eyes, it must have just eaten someone and digested it in our room..."

Lu Jia frowned, and walked into the room. The room was clean, let alone snakes, and there was no dust left.

"Zibuyu is strange, there are no snakes in this room." Lu Jia turned around and said.

Yuan Bao still cowered at the door and did not come in, "Master, but I really, really..."

Lu Jia opened the bag, took out his clothes, put them in the cabinet, turned to Yuan Bao and said, "If you are afraid, go back, I am not afraid."

After speaking, he asked the system in his mind: "Xiao Qi, is what Yuan Bao saw real?"

The system was silent for a while, and there seemed to be a smile in his tone, "Mr. Lu, it's true."

The small porcelain cup painted in blue and white in Lu Jia's hand fell to the ground, rolled twice, and shattered into several pieces.

Lu Jia asked the system: "Let's run quickly, is there time?"

The system replied: "It's too late." After a pause, he added, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, he will take self-rescue measures if necessary."

Lu Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuan Bao followed with his mouth curled up, his eyes still terrified, "Master, I really saw it."

Lu Jia lifted the bed curtain, "Where are there snakes? This is a pure place of Buddhism, even if there are animals, you dare not mess around. Maybe it's the fog in the mountains that disturbs your vision, which is why you misunderstood."

Lu Jia paused, and said: "If you are afraid, you can go down the mountain and live with the abbot and the others. Just let the groom come in and take care of me."

Yuan Bao picked up the broken porcelain cup, opened his eyes and looked at Lu Jia, "Yuan Bao is being rude, the master sent the young master to this place thousands of miles away for the sake of the young master's body."

"Even if there is a snake, the ingot should protect the young master."

After speaking, he glanced at Lu Jia aggrievedly, "How could the young master drive me away? I have been with the young master for eight years, but the young master..."

Lu Jia had a headache.

I had no choice but to persuade him casually and let him go to rest early.

Early the next morning, Lu Jia woke up to the heavy bells of the ancient temple. Yuan Bao came in to wait for him to wash up, and then went to the side hall to prepare breakfast.

Lu Jia looked at his extra hair and said to himself, "I don't like such long hair, it will be very hot in summer."

"And it hurts to comb, and it's easy to fall off."

The system replied: "Sorry, please bear with me, it will be fine when it's over."

"The hair is all ripped out."

"Mr. Lu's body is a patient."

"Will it be longer?"

"will not."

"Why, doesn't that make you bald when you fall?" Lu Jia looked puzzled.

"Strictly speaking, Mr. Lu's body is already dead."

"Okay, I forgot." Lu Jia asked again, "Have you been in my head all this time?"

The system said, "No, I was punished just now and I'm writing a review, so I went to your sea of ​​knowledge to find some reference materials."

"My Sea of ​​Consciousness?" Lu Jia asked in surprise, "How did you find it?"

"It can only be searched within the scope of the books and news you have read. We have privacy protection."

"It's okay, what's in my sea of ​​consciousness?"

A black vortex appeared in Lu Jia's mind, densely packed with stars.

The system voice paused, and said, "Mr. Lu has read a lot of books, but they are all blurry and extremely difficult to identify."

While drinking porridge, Lu Jia replied to the system: "My memory is not good. I always forget what I read when I look back. It seems that it started when I had a high fever when I was a child. No matter how many books I read, one day Woke up with no memory at all.”

"There's something wrong with growing in my head."

"Mr. Lu, just finish the task."

"hope so."

The system didn't answer, and Lu Jia didn't ask any more.

The abbot went to the backyard every three days to give Lu Jia acupuncture and moxibustion, followed by a medicinal bath.The medicinal soup was indistinct and had a faint fishy smell.

After a few days like this, Lu Jia felt that there was no more difficulty in his heart.

I am also full of curiosity about this elixir.

Lu Jia stayed in this other courtyard.

Yuan Bao took care of her daily life, and Lu Jia couldn't bear to have someone wait on her when she got dressed. After mentioning it a few times on the grounds of exercising, Yuan Bao stopped coming in every day before dawn to serve her.

Xiaochong Mountain is not too far from the capital city, but it is deserted and uninhabited, only the insects, fish, birds and animals in the mountains and forests as companions.

Puji Temple is in the depths of the cloud and smoke, returning to nature.
