At dusk, this small town called Chatu walked into two people with tight faces. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info this town that hasn't had strangers for a long time, and the number of strange faces has suddenly increased for some reason recently, but it's still surprisingly peaceful and harmonious.
The trembling temple in the east of the town has been erected for more than 300 years, and the name and original pattern of the plaque on it are no longer clear, and in some stone crevices, the dry grass of different lengths seems to have just been pulled out, and it is thrown on the ground at will, and it is still ready to be taken care of.
The early morning sun shines through the dead grass and falls on the ancient stone slabs, and the dappled light and shadow seem to tell people its immortal history and legend.
And these two strangers to the town stood so straight at the door of the temple, looking up at the ancient plaque.
"This temple is really old. Liao Jie looked at the plaque that was completely unrecognizable and muttered with emotion.
"It's much older than Chen Pingzhi. Lin Ji, who had a low air pressure all the way, couldn't adjust his resentment no matter what, and after hearing Liao Jie's words, he couldn't help but think of the hateful old man who left him alone and said chic and happy.
Liao Jie shook his head helplessly, intending to push open the door of this dilapidated temple, but the gate was suddenly opened from the inside.
Out of the gate came a young monk about the same age as Jomo and Lin Ji, and pronounced a Buddha name to the two: "Amitabha." ”
After the two were stunned for a moment, they returned the salute with the gift of a great Han scholar, and the young monk suddenly realized after frowning slightly.
"Presumably, the two donors are also here to join in the excitement of the lecture conference. When the young monk spoke of the lecture conference, his head was slightly raised, and his face was full of pride, as if he had opened the lecture conference.
"So, so you've seen other people attending the lecture conference?" Lin Ji chuckled, and casually glanced up at the inner courtyard of the temple, where a carriage with extremely simple decoration was parked. Of course, Lin Ji could see that it was definitely not something that a temple should have.
"Of course. The young monk raised his head higher, looked at Lin Ji's gaze and said, "The carriage parked in the courtyard is the carriage of Yi Hanlan, a disciple of the Daoling Sect, you say I haven't seen it?"
Lin Ji and Liao Jie suddenly gasped after hearing the name Yi Hanlan, it is rumored that the closed disciples of the Daoling Sect are as beautiful as flowers, but the heart of the Dao Sect is extremely pure, and the sect leader Fang Zhong decided to accept him as a closed disciple after seeing her once, which was a good story in the cultivation world of the year, and this woman did not embarrass Fang Chong, although she did not rank in the top twenty of the martial arts list, and no one saw her make a move, but the cultivation was soaring in a short period of time, breaking through the realm of Zhiwei in one fell swoop.
Lin Ji calmed down the turbulence in his heart, thinking that he might be able to see this beauty who was counted among the best in the cultivation world in a while, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, but he didn't know who was more outstanding than the girl who entered the Cloud Pavilion.
"Little master, we have been walking overnight for more than ten days, you see that it is getting late, can you allow us to rest in your temple for the night, and then go tomorrow." Liao Jie said with a smile, but he didn't care about the cultivator's shelf.
The two of them came south alone from the team that broke away from the Royal Forest Army, and it had been two days, although the speed was many times faster, but they still couldn't avoid the pain of the journey, and the injuries on Lin Ji's body were really much more serious, so they had to plead with a dead face.
The young monk was also very thin-skinned, and when he heard Liao Jie politely, he was also a little at a loss for a while, and he had long lost the domineering attitude he had just seen.
"Although Putuo Temple has sent us a message to receive the distinguished guests who participated in the lecture conference. But my temple is very small, there are only two guest rooms, and the two people of Daoling have already lived, and there are no more vacant rooms. The young monk subconsciously glanced at the temple, his face was extremely ugly, and he looked sorry.
Lin Ji pulled the slightly retracted cuffs, his face was slightly disappointed, and he clasped his fists at the young monk and said, "It's okay, then I won't find another place to stay and disturb you." ”
Lin Ji just glanced at the dusty carriage, but turned around and left without hesitation.
"Wait a minute. A cold voice suddenly came from the silent compound, but there was such a warm voice in Lin Ji's ears: "Senior brother and I can live in the same room, and the abbot can invite people outside the door to live in another room temporarily." ”
"That's a good thing. The young monk who called the abbot was excited, he was the only one in this temple, although there were not so many rules, but he was called the abbot, and it was the closed disciple of the Daoling Sect called the abbot, of course, he was very happy.
The corners of Lin Ji's mouth, who turned his back, were slightly raised, and he raised his eyebrows at Liao Jie, who was surprised beside him, with a smug look on his face.
"Two donors, please come in. "The young monk is dressed in a gray cloth monk's robe, but it is extremely smooth, presumably there is not much superfluous things to do on weekdays, but today there are four guests at once, and my heart is somewhat excited.
Lin Ji, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes, was not hypocritical at all, and walked into the temple after making a gesture of invitation to the young monk.
The temple is not big, after the front yard was occupied by the carriage, there was only three or four zhang square open space, and on the open space was planted a tree that Lin Ji could not recognize, in order to be in the cold winter, the leaves had already fallen, but there was no piece to be found on the stone slab, obviously the young monks often came to clean it on weekdays.
Further inside is the main hall of the temple, and there is not much statue on the main hall, but there is only a hanging image of the Buddha, but it is also old. The incense burner and fruit bowl in front of the statue are as clear as new.
The young monk couldn't take his eyes off Lin Ji when he saw Lin Ji looking at the portrait, and scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
Lin Ji didn't care, and according to the rules learned in the book, he twisted three sticks of incense on the incense table, lit them and inserted them into the incense burner.
The young monk was obviously moved by Lin Ji's move, and bowed to Lin Ji after pronouncing the Buddha's name.
Lin Ji waved his hand, and Liao Jie, who was behind him, took out a bright gold ingot from his arms and stuffed it into the young monk's hand.
The young monk was flattered and did not dare to take it for a while.
Lin Ji turned around, looked at the monk and smiled: "Your Buddha country is very strange, there are some places where you can't even spend money, it's really Buddha's light." Lin Ji shook his head self-deprecatingly, in the previous few towns without temples, Lin Ji and Liao Jie wanted to find an ordinary family to live in, but after knowing that the two were Han, they drove them out, which made Lin Ji distressed.
"This gold is not given to you, I want you to take this gold to exchange for a decent Buddha statue, and it can be regarded as my fate with the Buddha. "There is no reason to take back the money that has been sent. Lin Ji waved his hand, but this time he accidentally pulled the wound on his shoulder, and let out a muffled moan.
"Dare to ask what is the name of the donor? The little monk should also write it down in the temple chronicles, so that future generations can remember the donor's contribution to the Lingtu Temple. ”
Lin Ji suddenly smiled after listening to the young monk's words: "It turns out that this temple is called Lingtu Temple, so by the way, you can also change the wooden plaque at the door." ”
"My name is Lin Ji, if you have to add an adjective before my name, you can call me Lin Ji of Canghai City. Lin Ji looked at the monk with a blushing face, pretended to smile mockingly, and then stretched his waist widely.
"Lin Ji?" the cold voice came from the room next to the main hall, with a slight doubt in his tone.
The voice came into Lin Ji's ears again, but it was still the same as at the beginning, not eating the fireworks of the world, but after all, he was still a lot more interested in himself.
"Lin Ji of Yingtian Academy?"
"Exactly. Lin Ji visited his senior sister. Lin Ji was also thick-skinned enough, and climbed up along the pole, according to the generation, Fang Zhong and Chen Pingzhi are of course the same generation, so this senior sister's name is reasonable.
The cold voice didn't sound for a long time, Lin Ji raised his eyebrows, and put away his plan to continue waiting, but when he turned around, he saw the young monk's unenforceable expression.
"You, you...... Also a cultivator?"
"Why can't it be?"
"This, this, this ......" I saw three cultivators one day, and the people who stood behind Lin Ji and didn't make a sound must be inseparable, much more than he had seen in his life, and the monk didn't know what to say for a while.
"The book says that the reason why a practitioner practices is because of ignorance, and the abbot does not need to be concerned about the practitioner. Lin Ji waited for a few days to cultivate the heart, and he thought that he had a deep understanding of the word practice, so at this time, he took the attitude of a senior to order the monk in front of him.
The monk didn't seem to understand, but he also seemed to think that what Lin Ji said was quite reasonable, and although he frowned, he couldn't help but nodded.
