This night, Yifeng and the four of them galloped to the starry night in the south of Mangnan County, and finally saw a temple built on the mountain under a mountain peak.

From afar, the mountain is brightly lit, and the bright lights continue from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain, and beyond the foot of the mountain is a plain, which is quite spectacular, so that the peak is like a huge torch in the distant night, shining on the sky.

Yifeng and the others immediately decided to go to the temple, such a large temple, there must be a lot of monks, more able to hide their tracks, and the Buddhism is good, they will definitely help when they see the injured and unconscious monk Qingning.

They were now running to the temple, and when they stood at the foot of the mountain, it was getting dark.

The rising sun in the east sprinkled the daylight on the temple halfway up the mountainside, and the bright lights just now instantly lost their brilliance, and on the temple courtyard in rows, the golden glazed tiles and eye-catching red walls emitted a sacred and solemn reflection under the illumination of the sun, and the whole emerald green mountain peak set off the brilliant and dazzling temple, which suddenly made them stand at the foot of the mountain and look stunned.

"Is this to Lingshan? or to the palace of Emperor Dawu?" the fire monkey looked straight and said in a daze, "Tell me, it's also a temple on the mountain, look at the color and style of the people, and then think about the shabby courtyard of our Qingshan Temple·······"

"Senior brother, what are you talking about!" Xiu Gu was also surprised, but Qingshan Temple is the place where she and Yifeng grew up, and they have a deep relationship, in her eyes, no matter how brilliant and magnificent the temple in the world is, it is not comparable to a tile of Qingshan Temple.

"Uh, uh, ah······"

A hand came out from behind his back, pointing tremblingly ahead.

When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be the Qingning monk behind the fire monkey who didn't know when he woke up. But his consciousness was not very clear, but at the moment his eyes were shining, staring directly at the shining temple on the mountain, shouting a few words, and falling asleep again.

Everyone's hearts were relieved, it seems that Qing Ning's injuries have been alleviated after drinking Lu Shu's blood, and as long as he rests and recuperates, he should be able to recover soon.

So the four of them began to climb up from the bottom of the mountain.

There are magnificent halls in various places of the mountain peaks, the stairs leading to the Daxiong Hall on the mountainside are paved with a whole piece of bluestone slabs, and there are evergreen and neat small pines and cypresses planted next to the steps, and there are thousands of steps on the stone steps, and there is a small pavilion every other section.

And, every dozen steps there is a young monk, holding a wide broom gently brushing the steps, next to a guest monk who follows the sweeping monk, the stone steps are clean and tidy, but the young monks still meticulously sweep the steps.

The attitude of the young monks is pious, but with so many people, the scene is not small.

The first person to see them was a hospitality monk, a delicate little novice, he walked over with a smile, folded his hands and asked, "I have seen a few senior brothers, where did you come from, did you come to place an order?"

Shuli also folded his hands in return and said, "Senior brother, we were on the road overnight, and one of our senior brothers was injured and urgently needed a place to recuperate. ”

The little novice smiled and nodded, turned and ran up the hill. Seeing his brisk steps, he ran up dozens of steps in a few breaths, and he should have cultivated the basic method.

In a few moments, the little novice ran down the mountain, and a tall monk followed him.

Running from above to below, you need to be more steady, and the bottom plate is solid, but the little novice calmly rushed down from below, without a trace of panic, and the tall monk was even more leisurely.

The tall monk finished the last step, stopped his steps in front of the fire monkey and others, dressed in a moon-white monk's robe, his body was fat, his face was round, his eyes were bright, his hands were folded and he bowed slightly: "I have seen you, where are the senior brothers from?"

Shuli saw that he was not easy to fool, so he replied: "I have seen senior brother, the little monk and others rushed through a valley because of greed, met wild beasts, and their cultivation was not good, and my senior brother was a little injured. Please be accommodating and allow my brother to recuperate for a while, and we will leave as soon as the injury is healed. ”

The monk glanced at the monk Qingning who was lying behind the fire monkey, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Where is the senior brother, all beings in Buddhism are equal, not to mention that we are originally the same door, so we should take care of each other, and the little monk has a mellow name, and is responsible for welcoming guests, and has not yet consulted?"

As soon as the fire monkey and Xiugu heard his legal name, they avoided him and laughed secretly.

Shuli hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Yuanrun, my surname is Shu, this is the second senior brother, surnamed Huo, this is my little junior brother Yifeng and my little junior sister Xiugu." There are few people in the remote area of our temple, so there is no legal name. ”

Yifeng and Xiu Gu hurriedly greeted each other, and Xiu Gu also secretly glanced at the mellow monk.

Senior Brother Yuanrun said: "In this case, let Xiaoyun carry this injured senior brother on his back and go to the guest room of our temple to rest." ”

The little novice immediately walked over, and the fire monkey hurriedly said, "Don't bother this little junior brother, I'll just carry it on my back." ”

The four of them got up and walked up the mountain, Yuan Run and Xiaoyun walked slowly at first, but after finding that the fire monkey and the others had been following them closely, they immediately increased their speed, and the fire monkey and the others still followed them closely.

The two of them increased their speed again, and their bodies became faster and faster, until at last the shadows were blurred.

Yuan Lu also looked back at the fire monkey and the others from time to time, the fire monkey their faces were calm, and even the faces of the little junior brother and the petite little junior sister were very calm, and there was always only one stone step away from them.

The group of people blew like the wind through the sweeping monks on the road, and the sweeping monks stopped the brooms in their hands and looked at the people who were running with curiosity.

Under the last pavilion, Yuanrun stood on his feet and said to the fire monkey and the others: "Senior brother, it's almost at the gate of our temple, let's rest here." ”

The fire monkey and the others stopped, looking at the golden and splendid cascading hall in front of them, and then looking down at the stone steps like a ladder, as well as the large number of young sweeping monks and respectful welcoming monks on the stairs, a magnificent atmosphere was presented.

The fire monkey asked: "Senior brother, your temple seems to be full of incense, and this momentum is probably the best in Mangnan County, right?"

The mellow monk replied: "Senior brother praised, the name of our temple is Leiming Temple, because there is often the sound of thunder in the plain ahead, so take this name, speaking of momentum, this temple is only one of the four branches of Leixing Temple in Leixing Town, and it is the smallest branch, so I dare not compete with the main temple of this temple. ”

The fire monkey, Yifeng and Xiugu smacked their tongues when they heard this, such a magnificent temple is only the smallest branch of Leixing Temple, so is Leixing Temple all made of gold?

Shuli was also very surprised when he heard it, although he came from the non-return mountain calligrapher, in terms of momentum and glory, this temple can only be regarded as a small courtyard of the scholar, but in the small Leixing Town, it is enough to deter all ordinary people.

But what he noticed was that the welcoming monks on the stone steps, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Senior Brother Yuanrun, I have a doubt, please advise, may I ask how many monks in your temple are few, why are there so many welcoming monks?"

Senior Brother Yuan squinted his eyes and smiled: "There are thousands of monks in this temple, and these welcoming monks are all to welcome the biggest guest of the day, so they are arranged early to wait for the distinguished pilgrim benefactor.

"Usually there are welcoming monks, but there are not as many as today, and what they do is nothing more than to carry the old or young pilgrim donors up or down the mountain. ”

The fire monkey sighed: "It is worthy of being a rich temple, it is too exquisite." ”

Shuli's eyes flashed, and he said: "From the bottom of the mountain to here, the more hundreds of zhang high, I see that those little junior disciples are very young, and it is not easy for them to have such good physical strength." ”

The mellow monk replied: "These welcoming monks all have a little wisdom root, or incomplete wisdom root, but because of this, they can also cultivate the basic method of Buddhism a little, and their physical strength is naturally much better than that of ordinary people." However, with their qualifications, it was almost impossible for them to step into the threshold of true cultivators, so they were arranged to welcome guests. ”

Shuli secretly smacked his tongue in his heart, cultivators, even those who could not enter the threshold of true cultivators, were outstanding. There are only dozens of low-level cultivators in Qingping Temple, and they are now arranged to do coolie work to welcome guests so casually, this Thundering Temple is really a big show.

At this time, Yifeng couldn't help but ask: "Senior Brother Yuanrun, your original intention was originally good, but did you take into account the sincerity of the pilgrims? Maybe the old pilgrims are willing to climb up step by step, and make a great wish for this to go up the mountain, isn't it better to show their piety?"

Senior Brother Mellow said with a smile: "This little junior brother is really joking, our temple, including the main temple Leixing Temple, is respected by pilgrim donors. As long as the pilgrims have a lot of money for incense, whatever they ask for is right. Even if they don't ask for anything, we still greet them with the utmost respect. ”

Yifeng nodded when he heard this: "It should be so, those who worship the Buddha are respected by everyone." ”

But Yuanrun's next words made Yifeng surprised and very embarrassed: "Hehe, think about it, let them rejoice in the Buddha's fate earlier, and our incense money will come faster! We can build a better hall and big Buddha for them to see, build a better guest room for them to rest, and recruit more Buddhist disciples to serve them for the temple, so that we can attract more pilgrims and donors, you say, is this the truth?"

Before Yifeng could react and answer, Yuan Run then said: "Since you are all people in Buddhism, you naturally know this truth, the Buddhist temples of Dawu Kingdom, aren't they all like this? Otherwise, you think that Leixing Temple has so many branch temples, and the branch temples are so big, where did the money come from?

"Besides, it is good if the pilgrim benefactor has the sincerity to go up the mountain in person, but in order to realize their sincerity and wishes faster and better, wouldn't it be better to arrange for a few welcoming monks to carry them up?

Mellow words made Yifeng and the senior brothers and sisters look at each other, they didn't have the natural look of joy in their eyes, but they only saw the worry in each other's eyes.
