Chapter 57 Visiting Tohoji Temple

Monk Mingde has been to my house, and it is normal to know the address of my house, but early in the morning, I saw a monk smiling at you downstairs, and the scene was a little not good.

"Senior brother, I met here so early, it can't be a coincidence."

"It's not a coincidence, I just came to find Brother Dao, and I was afraid that Brother Dao would be abrupt in the morning, so I didn't go upstairs and waited for Brother Dao here."

Monk Mingde replied that he also knew that it would be uncomfortable to knock on the door so early, so Monk Mingde chose to wait downstairs.

"What do you want me to do?"

"I went into the city with something, and suddenly remembered Brother Dao, so I came to visit, and by the way, I invited Brother Dao to Dongbao Temple as a guest, I don't know if Brother Dao has time today"

"Now?"

I subconsciously asked, believe him is the ghost, block me downstairs in the morning, just to invite me to be a guest?

"Yes, there is a car right now"

"I haven't had breakfast yet"

"Dongbao Temple's fasting is a must, it is a famous vegetarian restaurant in Yangcheng, I think Brother Dao can try one or two"

"Since that's the case, then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, senior brother, please lead the way"

I nodded, Monk Mingde said so, then I agreed, anyway, I don't believe that they dare to make money and kill people, I'm afraid of a fart.

I followed the monk Mingde out of the community, and a black business car drove over, and a monk came down to open the door, very respectful.

"Senior brother, it seems that the economic conditions of your Toho Temple are good."

I said with a smile, this business car is a big brand, and you can't get it without hundreds of thousands, and Tohoji Temple is really not ordinary rich.

"Brother Dao said before that you are a monk of the Three Qingguan of Dulong Mountain, it seems that Brother Dao did not do it."

"How can I see it?"

"Because you don't know that religious sites are all self-financed except for some basic state subsidies, this is called market economy reform, Dongbao Temple is at the forefront of reform, and some commercial companies planned tourist attractions many years ago, we have money, but not incense money for believers"

Monk Mingde explained that many temples are very rich, there are many temple properties, and many people misunderstand that it is the money of the believers, but in fact, it is not necessarily, because many temples are in the mountains of Mingchuan, the geographical location is very superior, plus some surrounding industries, it is more than enough to feed themselves.

For example, Dongbao Temple, they have a lot of normal business behaviors, including the food of Dongbao Temple, which is very famous, and many people in Yangcheng will go to taste it, and Dongbao Temple is located in a tourist area, and there are more ways to make money, which is fair and legal.

"I see, my brother is right, our Sanqingguan is a small view in the countryside, which is jointly funded by the villagers and my master, as for why it is not included in the system, according to what my master said back then, one is afraid of trouble, and the other is that the matter of cultivation, I don't care about the location or identity, as long as I have the heart of cultivation and the meaning of cultivation, everywhere is a dojo."

I nodded and explained, of course, the second half of the sentence was purely added by myself, Master was afraid of trouble back then, because once he entered the system, Master would not be able to do many things, and he had to hide it, and if he didn't have such and such an identity, it would be much more convenient to act.

"The realm of the teacher is very deep, and Mingde admires it"

Mingde nodded, although the master is basically from the famous view of the treasure temple, but the folk masters have also existed since ancient times, and there are still many powerful people in the countryside.

I live in a rural-urban area, but it's not in the same direction as Tohoji Temple, and it took about half an hour before we arrived at Tohoji Temple.

Indeed, Tohoji Temple is a good place to play, halfway up the mountain you can see the plank road around the mountain, you can see the lake and lotus flowers at the bottom of the mountain, there is also a large sea of flowers, the foot of the mountain becomes quiet, all kinds of plants emerge in endlessly, like a forest park, it is definitely a good place to rest on the weekend.

And the mountain is the Dongbao Temple, the building is magnificent, the geographical position is superior, you can overlook half of the Yang City here, the scenery is very beautiful, as for whether there are other projects, then I don't know, I haven't seen it for the time being.

Monk Mingde took me to eat breakfast in Dongbao Temple, the breakfast of the monks in Dongbao Temple is buffet-style, rich in variety, there are steamed buns, vegetarian buns, flower rolls, white porridge, millet porridge, sweet potato porridge, all kinds of pickles, as well as soy milk, fried noodles, fried rice noodles, etc., monks and lay people and volunteers, etc., a total of forty or fifty people eat.

The canteen is very quiet, no one speaks during the meal, the quality is also high, after eating, they will wash their own rice bowls, put them aside, and someone will take them to disinfect when the time comes.

"Brother Dao, how does it taste?"

"Very good, real material, much better than the outside market"

I nodded, they are professional, and the taste is indeed good, especially the soy milk, which is real and much better than the water in the vegetable market outside.

"That's good, that's good"

"Senior brother, I'm full of food and drink, it's not good if I leave, let's go, let's talk about business"

I smiled, I didn't believe that the monk Mingde came to block me in the morning just to invite me to breakfast, since I came, I was ready.

Monk Mingde nodded, and secretly said in his heart, it is easy to deal with smart people, and then Monk Mingde took me to his senior brother Monk Mingyu, who is the abbot of Dongbao Temple.

"Brother Dao, I can't hide it, I invited you to come this time because we had an accident in Dongbao Temple and the magic knife was stolen."

"The magic knife was stolen?"

Monk Mingde told the truth, which shocked my heart, it has been less than a week since the magic knife was handed over to Monk Mingde, how was it stolen?

"Well, stolen"

"The magic knife has the ability to bewitch people's hearts, will it be that the monks or laymen of your temple have not been tested and have been bewitched by the magic knife?"

"No, people are prepared, Brother Dao can take a look at the monitoring first"

Monk Mingde shook his head, and then played the surveillance video of the theft of Dongbao Temple the night before, which showed a woman with vigorous skills, going straight to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and also prepared a mountain bike on the mountainside, at the foot of the mountain, Mingde monk They also picked up a mask, the woman's identity and appearance are all fake.

"This is a professional thief, who came directly at the magic knife, senior brother, do many people know about the magic knife?"

After watching the monitoring, I also knew that the thief was at a professional level, and he came for the magic knife, but I didn't know who was going to get this magic knife.

"It's hard to say, except for you and me, those workers on the construction site can be regarded as news disseminators, they may not know about the magic knife, but as long as the news spreads, they can't hide it from those who have a heart."

"No, you're not right, those workers are indeed likely to spread the news, and they will be noticed, but no matter how much they check, they can only find me here, and they can't find out that I gave you the magic knife, the night before yesterday was the fifth day I gave you the magic knife, according to what you said, that thief lurked in Tohoji Temple for three days, that is, two days after I gave you the magic knife, she came, how is this possible?"

I shook my head, what Monk Mingde said was not right, there was a big hole in the logic.

"You're right to say that, what does that Dao brother mean, the problem is that in our Toho Temple, we have some people colluding with the evil way?"

"Senior brother, the monks and laymen of our Dongbao Temple are all old acquaintances for many years, and there have been no strangers visiting recently, so it shouldn't be our problem."

Monk Mingyu hurriedly said, now the sword is pointing at the inside of Dongbao Temple, this is not a trivial matter.

"Master Mingyu is right, it may not be that there is a problem within you, it may also be that the pilgrims and believers discovered the existence of the magic knife when they went to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to burn incense."

"That's impossible, we sealed the magic knife with the Buddha and the Buddha beads, and without the leakage of demonic energy, it is impossible for the believers to know"

"Then I don't know"

I waved my hand, this is impossible, that is impossible, then I don't know what's going on, I'm not a detective, I don't have the ability to peel back the cocoon and solve strange cases.

"Looking for Brother Dao today, in fact, it is for the matter of the magic knife, the magic knife has drunk your blood, Brother Dao is a person who has achieved cultivation, people have mountains, they are good at blood, and the blood of cultivators is more spiritual, the magic knife must not be forgotten, if the magic knife is not controlled, it is very likely to come to Brother Dao again, so Brother Dao, once the magic knife appears, please be sure to take it down, or notify me Toho Temple"

"This is nature, the magic knife is extremely harmful, no one will want to use it except for the evil way, if there is a clue, it will definitely notify you"

I nodded, ordinary people have magic knives, all kinds of harm and no benefit, will take the initiative to steal the magic knife, it must be an evil way, if you really encounter it, you must notify Toho Temple.

Monk Mingde nodded, and then we exchanged some views, and after leaving each other's contact information, Monk Mingde asked me to send me home.

When I got home, I pondered it carefully, but I still didn't figure out where the problem was, how did the other party know that the magic knife was in Toho Temple, and it was foggy.

I can't figure it out, I don't want to, otherwise it's just a bull's horn, and I won't be able to get out, anyway, be careful in the future, just go out and set up a stall and bring the guy with you, it's not a big mistake to be careful.

"Xuanji, tomorrow is Saturday, let's go out and play"

When I went out of the stall this night, Xuanxuan said to me that tomorrow is Saturday, and she feels like she hasn't been out for a long time.

"Where do you want to play?"

"It's okay anywhere, you can go around Yangcheng, take a break, you haven't rested for a long time"

"Xuanji, I think Xuanxuan is right, you haven't rested for a long time, and I'm the same, Xuanxuan, where are you going to go, call a few more classmates, let's go together, it's so lively"

Xu Lin also came over to join in the fun, Xu Lin heard that he was going to play, and he suddenly became excited, female students, I'm about to go out with female students, can I not be excited?

"But I don't really want to go out"

I shook my head, when I was in Dulong Mountain, I basically didn't have the concept of weekends, and it was the same after going down the mountain, I would only take a break when I felt tired, but I was young and strong, I didn't feel tired, and I didn't rest.

"Li Xuanji, you are not allowed to spoil the fun"

Xu Lin came over and said to me seriously, then put his arms around my neck, put me aside, and said, "Big brother, please, you're not interested in female students, I'm interested, brother, my lifelong happiness depends on you, you can't refuse."

"Then you and Xuanxuan will go"

"Please, people are coming for you, where will I agree when I go alone, so let's do it, if you agree, the cost of going out to play is mine, how about it"

Xu Lin gritted his teeth, ready to bleed, for the sake of the female students, he also fought hard.
