At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 761
It's night, everything is silent, and the new moon hangs upside down like a hook.Gao Bufan gently pushed open the door of the meditation room and jumped out, jumped up to the wall, left Lingyun Temple after a few ups and downs, and ran towards Longyin Cliff.

Longyin Cliff is located on the southeast side of Lingyun Temple, about a few hundred meters away, on the edge of the Minjiang River. This is where Gao Bufan and others passed by in a boat during the day, where the water is most dangerous.

There is a small mountain path leading to Longyin Cliff from Lingyun Temple, but the terrain of Longyin Cliff is steep, and the Minjiang River is below it. In order to avoid accidents caused by pilgrims trespassing without authorization, the monks of the temple closed this path with some obstacles. block up.

During the daytime today, Gao Bufan, Xiao Yu and other officials visited Lingyun Temple and walked along this small path. At the request of everyone, the monk removed the obstacles blocking the road and guided Gao Bufan and the others. I went for a walk on Lingyun Cliff, and when I came back, the monk moved the obstacles back and blocked the path again.

The moon is dark and the stars are sparse, and the night is as dark as ink, but it is not a problem for a master like Gao Bufan. His kung fu has reached the top level, and his six senses are far beyond ordinary people. The sense of smell is very strong, even in the place where you can't see your fingers, you can still walk on the ground, so soon, Gao Bufan came to the obstacle blocking the road, and saw him jump over the road with a light jump, and went straight to the road. Dragon Cliff.

Longyin Cliff is about 90 meters high. This is the height from the river surface to the top of the cliff, which is about the same as Longhu Cliff. The reason why Gao Bufan decided to visit here at night is naturally to find the secret treasure of Buddhism, because according to the map It showed that the secret treasure of Buddhism should be in the area of ​​Lingyun Mountain, but today, when Zhong Laoliu mentioned that there was a sound of dragon singing under the Dragon Yin Cliff during the day, Gao Bufan intuitively felt that there was a problem here.

As the saying goes, there must be monsters in abnormal things. Gao Bufan does not believe that there are real dragons in this world. Since Zhong Laoliu said convincingly that he had heard dragons chant on the Dragon's Cliff, then the "dragon chant" must be true. It exists, but it is not clear why the "Dragon Chant" was formed, and it may be related to the so-called Buddhist secret treasures.

Therefore, Gao Bufan immediately listed Longyin Cliff as the number one place of suspicion. During the daytime, there were so many people, it was difficult for Gao Bufan to investigate carefully, so he had to come back in the dead of night.

Besides, the soil of Longyin Cliff is red sandstone, which is soft in nature, so there are still many trees along the way, and they grow lush, but the closer to the top of the cliff, the fewer trees there are.

The night wind was blowing head-on, Gao Bufan seemed to smell a faint fragrance, he couldn't help sniffing his nose hard, a strange look appeared on his face, he turned around a tree, looked at the top of the cliff, and saw the faint moonlight, A white slim figure is standing quietly on the edge of the cliff.

A flash of surprise flashed in Gao Bufan's eyes, he subconsciously slowed down his pace, and walked over slowly, the white figure standing on the edge of the cliff also turned around slowly, it was Bai Yunshang impressively.

I saw this girl in white clothes like snow, her long hair like a waterfall hanging down her head, the streamers used for her hair were blown by the cliff wind, fluttering along with her long sleeves and skirt, her pretty face was like a bright moon, with a smile on her face as always. It is full of compassion, like Guanyin Bodhisattva holding a willow branch in a clean bottle, and like a white lotus flower blooming on Tianshan Mountain, which makes people dazzled and relaxed.

However, Gao Bufan doesn't like this kind of Bai Yunshang. This kind of Bai Yunshang is too solemn and holy. Although it looks kind, it has an invisible sense of distance, which can be seen from a distance but not close.

"The night is getting deeper, why did King Qi come here?" Bai Yunshang asked with a smile.

Gao Bufan said casually: "The moonlight is just right tonight, I can't sleep at night, so I come out for a walk, and come here to enjoy the moon by the way."

Bai Yunshang glanced at the dim crescent moon in the sky, then at someone who was lying with his eyes open, and said softly, "Amituofo, King Qi is indeed very elegant."

Gao Bufan laughed and said, "Why did Fairy Yunshang come here? Could it be that there are monsters and dragons haunting this place, and the fairy intends to subdue them? Or is it true that the fairy does not eat the fireworks of the world, so she came here to devour the essence of the sun and the moon?"

Bai Yunshang's heart moved, obviously hearing the dissatisfaction in Gao Bufan's tone, and helplessly said to someone: "I really can't do anything about you!"

While talking, Bai Yunshang has already come out of that realm, like returning to the world from the clouds in Qingjian. The Guanyin Bodhisattva worshiped by thousands of people has become a lovely and amiable sister next door.

Gao Bufan couldn't help being elated, but he also pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "It's just a joke, Miss Bai, don't take it seriously."

Bai Yunshang turned around, looked at the silence in the distance, Gao Bufan stretched his waist and walked forward, stood shoulder to shoulder with the former, looking at the river below the cliff.

The rushing water of the Minjiang River pounded on the mountain wall, making a loud noise like waves, and faintly visible dots of light, which were the reflection of the river water on the faint moonlight.

"Did King Qi also hear the rumors about Ting Taoya?" Bai Yunshang asked suddenly.

Gao Bufan turned his head to meet Bai Yunshang's gaze. The latter's eyes were as bright as stars, much brighter than the moonlight. Gao Bufan was a little distracted for a while.Bai Yunshang frowned, looked away and turned her head, as if she had returned to the state of sitting on a cloud in an instant.

Gao Bufan couldn't help sweating, with a slightly embarrassed face, he coughed lightly and said, "Isn't this Longyin Cliff? When did it change its name to Tingtao Cliff?"

Bai Yunshang smiled and said, "It's better to call Tingtaoya."

"Does Miss Bai believe that there is an evil dragon hidden under this cliff?" Gao Bufan asked.

Bai Yunshang asked back: "King Qi, do you believe it?"

"It was Miss Bai who asked the question first, shouldn't Miss Bai answer first?"

Bai Yunshang smiled and said: "If you believe it, you will have it, if you don't believe it, you won't have it."

Gao Bufan also smiled and said: "In this case, then I would rather believe that there is a treasure under the cliff, so that I can get rich overnight."

Bai Yunshang's eyes flashed: "As the lord of Qi, King Qi has a vast territory and millions of people under his rule. Is there still a shortage of gold and silver treasures?"

Gao Bufan spread his hands and said: "Miss Bai is not in charge of the family and doesn't know the cost of firewood and rice. The family has a big business and a lot of expenses. In fact, this king is very poor. You can tell by the clothes I wear. I was stopped when I entered the temple today. , if I didn’t happen to have an invitation card from Miss Bai in my hand, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to enter the gate of the temple, and even the Buddha would have to eat fireworks in the world, let alone an ordinary person like this king.”

Bai Yunshang was speechless at once, but unexpectedly walked out of that realm, and became the big sister next door again, and said lightly: "Before the world's monks and laymen take off their skins and become Buddhas, they are still naked eyes. It is impossible for a mortal womb not to eat the smoke and fire in the world. The reason why people in the world recite Buddha's name is because they are not Buddha themselves, and through practicing recitation of Buddha's name, they will eventually become Buddhas."

Gao Bufan frowned and said, "Miss Bai, have you become a Buddha yet?"

"Of course not." Bai Yunshang replied.

Gao Bufan nodded, turned his head to look at the sky dotted with sparse stars, and said calmly: "Everyone in the world believes in the existence of gods, but no one has seen them. Monks and nuns believe in the existence of Buddhas, but no one has seen them either. Maybe this world cannot have There can be no real gods, no real Buddhas, they can only live in people's hearts, because only in this way, they are perfect."

Bai Yunshang couldn't help being stunned, and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he raised his head and took a deep look at Gao Bufan. His eyes were complicated and difficult to understand. What Gao Bufan said during the day today was full of Zen principles, but now he seemed to be satirizing the gods , Satirizing Buddha, even denying gods, denying Buddha... This guy has really weird ideas.

Little do they know that what Gao Bufan said during the day was just serious nonsense, what he said now is his true values.

At this time, Gao Bufan suddenly realized that he had talked too much, so he smiled and said: "I like to think wildly, and when I think wildly, I talk nonsense, Miss Bai just farts when I am the king."

Bai Yunshang's Zen mind was a little messed up at first, but when he heard the words, he was both funny and angry, so he said together: "Amituofo, the majestic king of Qi, how can you speak vulgar language."

Gao Bufan laughed and said: "Everything in the world is illusory, so is the so-called elegance and vulgarity, Miss Bai is showing off."

Bai Yunshang was at a loss for words at once, and then she leaned forward and said calmly: "It's late at night, Yunshang will leave."

Hey, Bai Niu'er seems to be angry, but it's just right for her to leave, so she can take a closer look at the cliff, so she nodded and said: "Miss Bai, please do what you want."

Bai Yunshang made a gesture and took two steps. Seeing that Gao Bufan was still standing there without saying anything to persuade him to stay, he walked back and asked, "King Qi still not going back?"

Gao Bufan shook his head and said: "I still want to blow some air, wait a while, Miss Bai will go first."
