Chapter 179: Yuelao Temple
When the old woman stood up, she gave her a cane and carried her away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info When the crowd dispersed, I opened the note she handed me and saw that there was an instruction for me to go to the Yuelao Temple.
The wallet was calculated, and I realized why the old woman smiled strangely at me before leaving. Bai Ji asked her to send a letter first, and he must have already given her benefits. She tossed such a thing and took away my money bag, which is really an unusual greed for money!
Think about the little beggar who ran away after robbing the silver three days ago, and then think about the old woman and her gang who touched the porcelain and made money, all of them are thieves!
It seems that Bai Jixian is a bit scheming. He knew that the first village would definitely not ignore this matter, so he led the spearhead of the incident to ** Ling, and let the people of the first village bar a group of irrelevant local snakes. When it was time to trade, I left Mengzhou City, and he sent someone to send a letter to change the location of the transaction. In this way, Yan Wei's ambush in ** Ridge is useless.
This trick can be described as not clever!
Turning the horse's head, I glanced at the road from which I came, and saw that there was a person going east, but not that it was coming west. When I came out of the first village, there were obviously people behind me. After leaving the city, they were never seen again. I guess it must be Bai Jixian's method to lure them away.
I didn't have time to think about it, so I threw off the reins and urged my horse to the Yuelao Temple to the south.
When I arrived at the temple gate, I first saw a three-person thick marriage tree on the left, and the tree was densely hung with red ropes and wooden signs, which was similar to the sacred tree of the old man under the moon.
Not many people enter the temple, but many come out. Although the clothes are different, some are gorgeous and some are tattered, but without exception, people are all sick.
After stopping the carriage, a gray-clothed little novice came from in front of the temple gate, and said to me with a gesture, "Please come inside the donor!"
Even if his head was slightly lowered, I could tell at a glance that he was Bai Xin, Bai Jixian's son.
The ancients said that the parents who suffer from the body do not dare to destroy it, and filial piety is the beginning. If it weren't for the poor family background, no matter how poor the family was, they would not let their children become monks in the temple.
Now looking at Bai Xinzheng's shiny head, my heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable, is Bai Jixian's family undisciplined? Or is there really no way out?
I stepped into the carriage before my feet, and a man climbed up on my back feet and got into the carriage.
The man was dressed in straw sandals and in a patched green cloth garment. He wears a straw wide-brimmed cool hat with a trimmed top on his head, and the brim of the hat is deliberately pressed low to cover his face tightly.
Dressed like this, if someone you don't know sees it, you will think that you are a cropper who can't eat enough. Even though I've only seen him three times, he's as annoying to me as a mouse. Even if he changes his sex and gets plastic surgery one day, he still can't cover the stench of greed on his body.
There was a clanging sound of rummaging over boxes and cabinets in the carriage, and a man's laughter was faintly heard, "I'm rich!
It is said that people die for money, and birds die for food, I think Bai Jixian will die on money sooner or later.
Bai Jixian is a person who can't be saved, so let's do whatever I want! I turned my head and asked Bai Xin, "Are you willing to come to the temple?"
Bai Xin glanced up at me, and immediately lowered his head again. Bai Ji got out of the carriage first, blew a loud whistle, turned his horse's head and wanted to drive the carriage away.
I hurriedly ran to the horse to stop him, "Where's the sour date, the money has been given to you, you must release him immediately!"
"If you follow Bai Xin, you can naturally find her. Bai Jixian's eyes drifted to his left hand, and he snorted impatiently and said, "Hmph! If it weren't for the money, I would have chopped that cheap girl and fed it to the dog." ā
Seeing that his left hand was thickly wrapped in a white cloth, he thought that the severed finger was his.
I smiled and said, "You exchanged a finger for 10,000 taels and made the best deal in the world, what else is there to complain about?
"Alright, alright! I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Finally, I warn you not to play any more tricks. If something happens to me here, the life of that girl will be gone. Bai Ji tightened the reins first, and the two jujube red horses let out a rough breath and moved.
I got out of the way, and said no, and watched him drive away in the carriage, leaving only the dust of the carriage and the horses as they passed.
"If something happens here...", repeating Bai Jixian's words, I smiled coldly.
Bai Jixian is really selfish, he only thinks of himself, thinks of money, and doesn't even care about the life or death of his own son.
As the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children! Can Bai Jixian treat his own son like this? The question came again, I asked Bai Xin, "Are you Bai Jixian's biological son?"
Bai Xin didn't answer, just lowered his head lower, and still said, "Donor, please follow me!"
In the subtleties I didn't see, his tears were falling to the ground one by one.
Before entering the temple gate, a bolt of lightning pierced the gloomy sky, followed by a loud explosion of thunder. I shrank back in fright and followed Bai Xin quickly.
On the way, I tried to paraphrase his words and asked how the jujube was, where are you going to take me? He only said, you will know when you go, and he didn't say much about the rest.
The halls of the temple were crowded with a chaotic crowd. Bypassing the main hall, the meditation room, and the monks' living quarters, finally, we arrived at a separate courtyard at the back.
The gate was closed and locked. Bai Xin's eyes turned, and after making sure that there was no one nearby, he took out the key to open the lock and led me into the courtyard.
When I entered the door, I was greeted by the fragrance of locust flowers, and when I looked up, the huge locust tree in the courtyard was densely covered with white flowers, just like the scene I had seen in my dreams.
Except for the boy without the smile, my dream really came true.
In the gloomy and gray space, the canopy of the locust tree shone like a white veil. I couldn't help but go under the tree and look up at it, just as a devout believer would look up to the God in his heart.
Judging from the huge state of this tree, it should be the 500-year-old locust tree recorded in the map! But shouldn't it be in ** Ling? Why did it appear in the Yuelao Temple? It is incomprehensible!
Bai Xin closed the door, walked up to me and said, "Follow me!"
Following him around the tree, he was greeted by two huts, one large and one small.
Bai Xin pushed open the door of the big thatched hut and said to me, "Go in!"
Something is not quite right, there must be some secret behind his mystery.
Puzzled, I stepped over the threshold and stepped out of the dark corner of the room. The bright light of lightning reflected on her face, and I blurted out in surprise, "Aren't you back home?
"My dearest relatives are dead, and there are no more relatives in this world to rely on, where will there be a home?" she smiled, Bai Sensen's teeth glowing coldly.
"However, in order to get rid of you, it is a good excuse to go back to your hometown, it seems that it is good to have a home after all. ā
"It turned out that you colluded with Bai Jixian to rob the sour dates, what about her? "I think Bai Jixian will only play a scoundrel, and his mind will definitely not be good, it is estimated that the idea of kidnapping these ghosts was given to him by Yurou.
Yurou smiled and said, "Collusion, don't say it so ugly, we just have a common goal." Anyway, the person we want to rob was originally you, and the sour jujube and that dumb woman were all suffering for you!"
