Chapter 53: White Horse Temple
The man in white got rid of the gangsters and went to the White Horse Temple.
Half an hour later, he saw from a distance a temple in front of him that looked like a heavenly palace, and several small temples with white walls and golden tiles gradually came into view.
The man in white quickened his pace and came to the temple. Up close, I saw a newly painted red painted wooden door open, and above the gate were written three large black characters "White Horse Temple".
He looked up at the scorching sun while wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, the weather in July is really hot!
"Keyin, do you think that boy just now can defeat those gangsters?" At this time, a weak voice came from behind him.
The man in white looked back and saw that it was Yin Ranran.
While stepping on broken steps, she asked the stinky girl who knew martial arts.
The man in white walked up to Song Keyin with his hands on his waist, looked at her, then bent over, revealing a bad expression, and said, "This girl who knows martial arts is polite." ”
Song Keyin didn't turn his head and didn't pay attention to him.
Yin Ranran smiled at the man in white and said, "There are so many sons who sacrificed their lives to save him, and Ran Ran is grateful." As she spoke, she put her hands in front of her abdomen and bent her feet slightly, saluting the man in white.
The man in white hurriedly said: "The girl can't help it, I can't do it, I can't afford to make such a big gift from you." ”
"It's getting late, let's get inside. Song Keyin was on the side, urging Yin Ranran.
Yin Ranran had no choice but to say goodbye to the man in white, and Lan Jia'er followed Song Keyin into the temple.
Nestled in a lush forest, the surrounding trees and flowers add to the splendor of this majestic temple. The courtyard of the temple is relatively large, and a few small pine trees in the courtyard are straight and straight under the bright sun. The roof of the temple is covered with glazed gold, and various patterns are painted on it, and the colors are bright and eye-catching.
Song Keyin and others came to the main hall and saw the eight immortals crossing the sea, the eighteen arhats and other immortals carved on the ridge, which were lifelike.
Song Keyin and Yin Ranran knelt in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva, they closed their eyes, folded their hands, and made a sincere wish together.
After the incense, Yin Ranran begged for a signature, she handed the bamboo stick to a white-haired Taoist chief, and said gently: "Trouble the Taoist to unsign the little woman." ”
The Taoist chief took the bamboo stick and looked at it, frowned slightly, and asked, "The girl is begging for ......?"
Yin Ranran replied shyly: "Marriage." ”
The Taoist chief took out a yellowed piece of paper from the cabinet and handed it over, Yin Ranran took it, and it read, "Spring heart Mo is full of flowers, an inch of lovesickness and an inch of gray." ”
Yin Ranran was puzzled and asked, "Dao Chief, what does this mean?"
The Taoist chief said calmly: "Girl, this is a sign." ”
Yin Ranran's face was full of sadness, seeking a solution, the Taoist touched his white beard, and said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, the girl only needs to remember a sentence of poor Dao." ”
Yin Ranran hurriedly said, "Dao Chief, please speak." The Taoist chief said slowly: "Don't force everything. ”
The Taoist chief looked up at Song Keyin, thoughtfully, and asked, "This girl, do you have any requests for a signature?"
Song Keyin shook his head and replied no.
The Taoist kept touching his gray beard, then closed his eyes, shook his head gently, and recited: "The good is like water, and the water is good for all things without fighting, and it is evil for everyone, so it is better than the Tao." Dwelling in a good place, having a good heart, being kind and benevolent, being kind and believing, being good in governance, doing good things, and moving in good times. The husband is indisputable, so there is no worries. ”
Song Keyin was puzzled and asked: "This famous sentence is from the first sentence of the eighth chapter of Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" in the Spring and Autumn Period. Daoist, what do you mean by reading this?"
The Taoist chief looked at Song Keyin with appreciative eyes, he nodded, carefully took out a talisman from his arms and handed it to Song Keyin, and said, "Is the girl's birthday the day of Bingyin in September of the first year of Jingkang?"
Song Keyin immediately replied: "Exactly." ”
The Taoist chief kept nodding his head and said to himself, "That's right." ”
At this time, the man in white appeared in front of several people, and saw him sitting in front of the old Taoist. Unhurried, the Taoist glanced at the young man calmly, still touching his white beard.
The man in white rested for a moment, stood up and bent over, and said, "May I ask if your old man is Daochang Xu?"
The old Taoist heard that the other party could tell his surname, and the man was dressed in a white robe, plain and neat, with bright eyes and bright teeth, which reminded him that he had heard his friend Chen Zhenren mention that there was a proud disciple under his door a few years ago, could he be ......
Xu Daochang nodded and said, "It's the poor Dao." ”
The man in white smiled and said, "I am Gan Yixun, a disciple of the Huashan faction, and the old man Xu is polite!"
When Xu Daochang heard this, his face was pleasant, he stood up and walked up to Gan Yixun, looked him up and down, and then patted Gan Yixun's shoulder twice, and praised: "Your master mentioned you to me a few years ago, and when I see you today, it is really extraordinary!"
Gan Yixun replied: "Senior Xu, you have won the award." Today's juniors came to visit, and they were entrusted by the master to visit your old man's home. ”
Daochang Xu replied: "You go back and report to the master, say that I, Xu, am in good health, and let him rest assured." ”
Gan Yixun bent down again and said, "Okay." The younger generation still has important things, so retire first. Dao Chief, please take care!"
Yin Ranran stood aside and asked, "Where is Gongzi Gan going?"
Gan Yixun replied directly: "Girl, I want to go to Shouyang County." ”
Yin Ranran Huan said: "Going to Shouyang County just passed through Taiyuan County, Gan Gongzi might as well go with us and go down the mountain to the house as a guest, and the little woman will thank Gongzi for saving her life." ”
It was difficult to be sure, so Gan Yixun went down the mountain with Yin Ranran and a few others.
