Two days might not be a long time, but Liu'er's mind was filled with worry about Xiao Lan, and she had to wait a lot for him. Since he had nothing to do during the day, he went to the Buddha to pray for her safety. He prayed for her safety so that he could see her again, and the more he prayed the more he missed her.

This afternoon, Liu'er knelt in front of the Buddha again, saying in her heart, "Bodhisattva who has saved and saved others with great mercy, please protect Xiao Lan and turn the situation around." If she has any disrespect towards Bodhisattva before, then let me take responsibility and punish me. He is already old, and this disciple of mine is unfilial. I was unable to serve him, and so I beseeched Bodhisattva to help him escape from this disease. " After praying a few times, he thought, "My master is a Taoist, but he doesn't believe in Buddha. I wonder if Buddha will protect him." Afterwards, he thought that Buddha often said that all living beings lived in time, and Buddha wasn't as stingy as the rest of the world. As long as he sincerely prayed, Buddha would definitely be able to hear him. Thinking of this, he once again began to silently pray.

Suddenly, Zhao Lingqiu's voice shouted, "Little rascal, are you here? I heard from Brother Wu and the others that you are here. Why did you come to worship Buddha? " As he said that, he jumped into the hall. Sure enough, he saw Liu'er kneeling in front of the Buddha statue. "Monk only knows how to chant, strike the bell, burn incense and pay respects to Buddha. It's so boring. I advise you not to be a monk." Liu'er finally calmed down with great difficulty, and after her disturbance, she became distracted again and said: "Miss Zhao, this is a sacred ground of the buddhist faith, why are you blabbering nonsense? You aren't afraid that Buddha will blame you at all?

Listening to his words, Zhao Lingqiu suddenly remembered something from her childhood. She remembered that when she was young, her father often burned incense to worship the Buddha. Once, when she saw the results on the table, she couldn't help but eat one. In the end, she was scolded by her father and made herself kneel in front of the Buddha to repent. When he was young, he actually said to his father, "The Buddha statue is dead, and they can't eat it, but Ling'er is alive. Why wouldn't such a good fruit be eaten by Ling'er even if it was a rock that couldn't be eaten? " In the end, she was locked in the room by her father for half a month, preventing her from going out. Therefore, she didn't like the Buddha statue, but was rather disgusted with it.

Although Liu'er had also quietly scolded her to kneel down, her tone was one of franticness and concern, unlike her father's overbearing attitude. Zhao Lingqiu gave a charming laugh and said, "They are too kind and merciful. They will not make things difficult for a little girl like me." After praying for the last time, Liu'er kowtowed three times before standing up and asking, "How did you find this place?" Zhao Lingqiu pouted. "The Shaolin Temple is so boring. It's full of Amitabha monks. They ran away when they saw me, like a mouse meeting a cat. I don't even have a speaker. I'm sick.

Liu'er laughed in her heart, "Monks never get close to women, not to mention that you are a stubborn and headstrong lady. Not to mention monks, even the men who have yet to leave their homes would definitely hide far away. " He then smiled and said, "The Shaolin Temple is a monk's temple. Could it be that without a monk, there will be a nun?" Suddenly, he felt that those words were meant to tease him, and he hurriedly kneeled in front of the Buddha statue again, and repented: "Disciple has no cover around his mouth, I beg Buddha to atone for his sins. I did not say that there were nuns in Shaolin Temple. " Zhao Lingqiu laughed coquettishly and said, "Haha, you're in trouble. Lord Buddha will hold grudges. He won't forgive you. "

Liu'er knew that she was joking, but the two of them were speaking nonsense in front of the Buddha statue. She was extremely disrespectful as she quickly pulled Zhao Lingqiu out of the hall. "What business do you have with me?" Zhao Lingqiu said, "I've heard that there are a total of thirty-six peaks in Shaowang Mountain. Strange peaks and unusual sights abound. You and I have finally come to Shaolin, and we have nothing to do. Why don't we go sightseeing and have a good time? Will you come with me? " Liu'er said, "We are here to do some serious business. How could we be in the mood for sightseeing?" Zhao Lingqiu pouted and made a face at him, muttering, "What business does a beggar like you have? Is it your business to worship these stones? "These stones can neither move nor speak, what's the use of worshiping them, why not go to the mountain and look at the flowers and plants, it can actually help you improve your body and recuperate."

Liu'er knew that Zhao Lingqiu had a temper and that his disrespect towards the Buddha statue was secondary. If he angered her, perhaps he would cause some trouble. Her words were not without reason, and it was the same as what Zhi Zun said yesterday. She was very emotional, and it was beneficial for her. Finally, she nodded and said, "Okay. But we can't go far. We'll come back at night." Suddenly, she ran to the Buddha statue and kneeled down on her knees, saying happily, "I have never believed in the existence of Buddha, but today, this little scoundrel actually agreed to accompany me to play. It must be because of your efforts, thank you!" As he spoke, he cupped his hands, not kneeling at all.

Liu'er said: "What Buddha cares about the most is piety, sincerity is the spirit. You dare to call yourself 'this lady' in front of Buddha, so what? If I were Buddha, I wouldn't agree to it. " Zhao Lingqiu laughed. "That's why you can't become a Buddha. How can a Buddha be as stingy as you?" Liu'er thought about what she had said and smiled. "Where do you think we should go?" Zhao Lingqiu rested her cheek on her left hand as she thought to herself, "Actually, I can go anywhere I want. As long as I follow you, even if it's just a desolate mountain and a forest, it's still good." He could not help but blush as he said, "I heard that in the southwest area, there is a sleeping area. There are a lot of buddhas lying on top of the cliff. It's quite a spectacular scene. Let's go there." Liu'er said, "Alright, let's go there. But before we depart, there is one more thing we need to do. " Zhao Lingqiu blinked and Liu'er said, "You have to go and talk to Brother Hu so that he won't worry."

Because he was willing to accompany her, Zhao Ling Qiu's heart was already filled with joy. She immediately found Hu Da Zhi and told him about this matter. Liu'er also wanted to ask the monk the way to the Sleeping Buddha Ridge, Zhao Lingqiu had an idea, how would she be willing to give up? Since Liu'er didn't know the way, she would follow her everywhere. In this way, it was more like wandering the mountains, so how could she possibly want to see a crouching Buddha? He deceived Liu'er, saying that she knew the way. Liu'er believed this to be true and did not continue asking.

The two left Shaolin Temple and headed southwest. It was now autumn, and although the sun was still high in the sky, it was no longer scorching hot, and the forest felt a little chilly. The north was different from the south of the river. Once it was autumn, the vegetation would wither and the leaves would fall from the wind. The rustling of leaves could not be heard, but luckily, there were a lot of pine and cypress in the mountain.

The two walked on the road for a while, and whenever they crossed paths, Liu'er would ask Zhao Lingqiu where to go. Zhao Lingqiu would casually point out directions, and Liu'er would suspect something, but he didn't know where to go so he had no choice but to follow Zhao Lingqiu. Zhao Lingqiu chatted and laughed along the way and was very happy. Liu'er saw the mountains and ravines, sucking in the mountain breeze, the mood is also a lot more comfortable.

After walking for half a day, the two of them climbed up a small hill. As Zhao Lingqiu looked up into the distance, she suddenly saw that the cliff was completely barren. She vaguely saw the shadow of a stone statue and pointed at it, saying, "Look, that's the Lying Buddha Ridge. I'm right, right?"
