Chapter 334: Ancient Temple
They had only walked a few steps through the door when they heard an elderly nun standing at the arched door across the courtyard to the east, chanting "Amitabha" to them.
The two looked over for a while, and suddenly felt that this nun aunt was a kind and kind person, so they couldn't help but walk over.
The nun smiled at the two of them and said softly, "The two young benefactors, it's the first time you've come to this temple, right?!"
The two of them are living people, this is too obvious thing, there is no need to hide it at all, they both nodded.
The nun then took them around the temple very enthusiastically, it can be said that she is a very interesting and not boring good tour guide, every temple, she can tell a lot of allusions, every ancient tree, she can tell the vicissitudes of unknown debut.
It turns out that this temple is thousands of years old.
It is rumored that during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, dynasties were changed too frequently, and there were wars everywhere.
A poor scholar fell in love with a young lady from a country gentleman's family, but the young lady's family definitely disagreed, so the scholar agreed with the young lady to return to his hometown to marry her within five years.
After the scholar went out, he found that he was useless as a scholar, especially in that war-torn era, he still abandoned his literature to join the army, and embarked on a difficult road paved with life and blood at any time.
Fortunately, this scholar was lucky, made many military exploits, and soon rose to the status of a general. This time, the place where his boss asked him to attack was Yuangu City.
He doesn't have much affection for Yuangu City, and besides, attacking the city is just a change of city lord, and it doesn't make much difference to the people.
When he attacked Xiacheng and returned to look for the young lady, he found that there was a funeral going on in their house.
It turned out that this young lady had an elder brother who donated an official to the city, but this time the scholar attacked the city and was directly killed.
When Yijin returned to his hometown, he found that there was a deep feud between the two, and the young lady couldn't think about it for a while, so she hanged herself that night.
The scholar also looked at fame and fortune overnight, resigned from the military, and took the body of this young lady to the mountains and forests to hide and establish this temple.
Later, because of the rugged and steep mountain roads, it was very secluded, and it became a place of refuge for nearby residents.
As long as there is a war, run to the mountains and take refuge in the temple.
Wealthy squires and landlords often funded the place, but this ancient temple has remained standing for thousands of years.
During the Eight-Year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, it was also used as a temporary base for underground organizations, and it was also a place for many villagers to take refuge when the devils swept away.
Therefore, the villagers in this vicinity have a special affection for this temple, and for many years, it has relied on the incense of the people to make this place dependent.
Su Xiaocan and Cui Yimo were a little stupid when they heard it, they just came here on a whim, but they didn't expect to come across a place with such a story.
Before the two of them could finish sighing, the nun looked at their hands under the table and suddenly asked them, who proposed to come here this time?
Su Xiaocan looked at Cui Yimo and asked suspiciously, "What's the difference?"
The nun smiled lightly, recited the sentence "Amitabha", and said: "This benefactor has a heart! The female benefactor may not know what is the most effective thing about our ancient temple, right?!"
Cui Yimo coughed awkwardly, interrupting the nun's words, and her face was a little red suspiciously.
Su Xiaocan is even more curious, Cui Yimo has been playing dumb riddles since she set off today, what exactly is she hiding from her.
The nun master was very interested, and did not say any more, but asked: "Do you two want to stay in the temple to eat fast? Our food here is all grown by ourselves, and it is all used in mountain spring water, which is considered delicious." ”
Su Xiaocan didn't know what kind of medicine Cui Yimo was selling in the gourd, so he couldn't make a decision for a while, and asked Cui Yimo silently.
Cui Yimo's face was red and red, and then he said a little shyly: "Master, let's prepare a meal!"
After speaking, he pulled Su Xiaocan and walked out.
The nun looked at the young couple, although it was obvious that they were still very young and should still be studying, but they did not have the simplicity and ignorance of teenagers of this age, but they were calm, and at first glance they were people who knew what they were going to do.
She wasn't worried that the two of them would come here to play impulsively when they were young, but looked at Cui Yimo's cautious appearance and became a little more interested.
When they raised their legs to step out of the chamber, the old nun asked teasingly, "This benefactor, do you know which bodhisattva is the most effective? ”
The rare Cui Yimo's foot across the threshold almost kicked himself and stumbled, making Su Xiaocan's eyes light up and bright.
The two of them left, and through the other door of the wing room, a pair of twin girls walked in, particularly beautiful, dressed in simple nun costumes, with bald heads, but they could not hide their prosperity at all.
Of course, it would be better if you ignored the appearance of the two of them limping when they walked, and the leg shape was obviously a little abnormal.
The two of them did not speak when they came in, but gestured to the old nun. Yes, the two of them not only have polio in their legs, but they also can't speak.
When they were just over a year old, a distant cousin of the old nun came with the two of them.
At that time, her cousin had a disfigured face, was burned in a large piece, and could not speak.
The old nun took them in, and this treatment was more than ten years.
Fortunately, the years on the mountain are very pure, and the two of them have grown so big, and very few people in the outside world know about their existence.
They have lived together for so many years, and they have depended on each other for their lives, and they have long been regarded as the daughters of an old nun.
At this moment, I was very surprised to hear the old nun say that she would leave the two of them for fasting.
Although there is some incense in their temple, because of the existence of the twins, the old nun has never stayed with anyone, for fear that their appearance will cause unnecessary trouble. It's just that these two teenage girls don't have much ability to protect themselves.
In fact, in his previous life, there was a reason why Su Xiaocan was not impressed by such a famous temple at all.
Before Su Xiaocan graduated from university, this temple did not exist. I only heard that there was a fire in the mountains and forests here, which burned half of the mountain and killed three or four people, and after that, there was nothing.
The residents of the neighborhood thought that it was the bad guys who had collided with the mountain god, and they didn't say much about it, so the demise of a temple happened quietly.
At this moment, the old nun had her own plans, shook her head, and did not say anything.
