Chapter 199: Hongji Temple
The maid also handed the girl a cup of tea with just the right temperature of water, and replied casually, "Pingyang City!" ā
Hearing this, the girl raised two willow eyebrows and glared at the maid, "I told you, I'm not here!" In the city of Taosang! What a waste of time! ā
The maid smiled faintly, "Since you know that people are in Taosang City, then what are you in a hurry, you won't run away!" We've been walking for a month, so we have to rest, do you want to see him like this? ā
When the girl heard this, she took a sip of tea and said to the maid with a smile, "What you say makes sense!" Although I am naturally beautiful, I can't stand this day after day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info If you are disliked, you will be sad......"
The maid turned to the window speechlessly, looked out through the light gauze curtain, and secretly complained in her heart, Master, will you write the word 'sad'?
After a short time, the four beasts walked to the best residential area in the city on their own, and as if they knew the way, they turned directly into the innermost house.
When the beast arrived at the door, no one came out to stop the beast, and the beast didn't see the two hard iron doors, pulling the carriage and hitting the door.
The imaginary tragic scene did not appear, the beast disappeared into the door, and at this time, the carriage also followed the footsteps of the beast into the gate, and disappeared behind the door in a blink of an eye.
*********************
Hongji Temple was built on the mountainside of Tupo Mountain, which is dozens of kilometers away from Pingyang City.
When there was a long queue at the gate of Pingyang City, Lin Xi and the others also landed smoothly at the foot of Tupo Mountain.
Although the name 'Tupo' is not as imposing as the names of Nanma and Wuqi, it is very appropriate.
Lin Xi stood at the bottom of the mountain and visually measured that the height of Tupo Mountain was only about half of the height of Nanma Mountain, and the terrain was extremely gentle, and the road up the mountain was almost not difficult.
Because Hongji Temple is the only temple within a radius of 200 kilometers, the incense is still prosperous. This stone staircase leading up from the foot of the mountain leads to Hongji Temple, and most pilgrims also take this road up the mountain.
There were a few peach trees scattered along the roadside, which had already grown flower bones and would bloom in two or three days.
One kilometer away from the temple gate is a three-zhang high archway, there is a plaque with black characters on a blue background, the book 'Hongji Temple', Lin Xi does not know calligraphy, but he can also see that the words are very imposing.
After the archway, there is a clean and spacious road, and then there are the tall and low temples located in the middle of the mountainside, all of which are white walls and gray tiles, and lush branches stretch out from the top of the wall, adding a touch of color to the temple.
Although it was still early at this time, there were already sincere pilgrims coming, and when Lin Xi and the others arrived at the door of the temple, there were already more than a dozen women with yellow faces and cloudy eyes on the steps at the door.
"Sister, let's go in directly!" Xiao Yu'er hid behind the fawn and pulled Lin Xi's sleeve and asked.
The gaze of these aunts is really not something he can bear!
Lin Xi looked at the others, they all looked very uncomfortable, and secretly laughed, "Endure it and it will pass, if you offend the Buddha in the temple, you will have nightmares in the future!" Lin Xi scared the little fish.
Xiao Yu'er pursed his lips, he didn't believe it, "I don't believe in Buddhism, I'm a cultivator, and the matter of nightmares should be under the control of Heavenly Dao!" ā
Lin Xi smiled helplessly, and said seriously, "Whether you believe in Buddhism or not, you must abide by the rules here." ā
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two monks standing at the door from the temple, signaling for the pilgrims to enter.
The women sitting on the steps in front of the door had already stood up and entered the temple in twos and threes.
Lin Xi also beckoned the others to follow, and when they arrived at the door, Lin Xi stopped, "We are here to find the Elder Chengfeng who is here." ā
One of the monks took two steps inside, beckoning a little Taoist priest who looked to be in his teens with a Taoist bun, "Little boy, come here!" ā
The little Taoist priest ran over, first glanced at Lin Xi and his party, and saw Xiao Lan, an old acquaintance in the middle, smiling, revealing a gap in his teeth. His eyes lit up when he saw the fawn, and then he quickly retracted his gaze and looked at the monk, "Master Zhiyuan, is there something wrong?" ā
Monk Zhiyuan looked at Lin Xi and the others, "Amitabha, this is a child, he is following Elder Chengfeng, and the donor can follow him." After speaking, he looked at Xiao Tong again, "These donors are here to visit Elder Chengfeng, you can send them over!" ā
Xiao Tong nodded when he heard this, blinking his eyes and looking at a few people, "Come with me!" ā
A few people wanted Monk Zhiyuan to say goodbye and followed the boy into the temple.
Unlike other temples, Hongji Temple is very simple, and there is almost nothing to see in the courtyard except for a few old trees and grass beside the road.
And the road led by the child is even more sparsely populated, if it weren't for the occasional sight of a few monks walking by, Lin Xi would have thought that he had taken the wrong road.
Lin Xi quickly withdrew his gaze and saw Xiao Tong leaning up to Xiaolan and muttering something.
"Sister Lan, why are you here? I miss you so much! Xiao Tong asked, walking beside Xiaolan.
Xiaolan reached out and touched his head, "Really? Or are you actually thinking about my elixir? ā
Xiao Tong stuck out his tongue embarrassedly, tilted his head to look at Lin Xi and the others, lowered his voice and asked, "Who are they?" ā
"Guess, if you guess, I'll let them give you a bottle of pill, okay?" Xiaolan deliberately teased him.
The little boy rolled his eyes, pointed at Lin Xi and said, "This sister is Lin Zhi's sister!" ā
Lin Xi also leaned over and asked with a smile, "It's so smart, how did you guess it?" ā
Xiao Tong raised his head and looked at Lin Xi's face, "You look quite alike, especially your nose!" ā
Lin Xi touched her nose, she was a little semi-blind, but she could remember what she looked like, but she couldn't see the similarities between the two people, and sometimes she couldn't even recognize that the person in the photo was the same person.
"That's right, Sister Lan!" Xiao Tong pulled Xiaolan's sleeve and pointed to the deer following behind, "Is that yours?" Can I touch it? ā
Xiaolan smiled, nodded again, and waved his hand to call the fawn, the little boy was as high as the fawn's belly, so he had to reach out and touch it, and the fawn also cooperated and lowered his head and rubbed him.
Xiaolan shook her head, "Go to the side!" Then he carried the child to the fawn's back.
The boy happily stroked and touched the left and left, and held the fawn's neck and tried to touch the horns on the top of its head.
This road came to the end, turned left and walked for about ten zhang after passing through a corner gate, the scene in front of me suddenly opened up, and I felt that the hillside behind the temple was close at hand. In the distance, there are several courtyards side by side, but they are extremely dilapidated because they have not been repaired for a long time.
Walking to the deepest part, I turned left again, and I saw another courtyard in front of me, which was also a few years old, but it was also cleaner and neater than the previous courtyards, and there was a pomegranate tree planted at the entrance of the courtyard, and there was only one leaf left at this time.
"It's here!" The boy pointed to the courtyard and said.
Lin Xi and his entourage followed Xiao Tong in, and as soon as he walked into the yard, Xiao Tong couldn't wait to shout at the top of his voice, "Master, master, there are guests, it's Xiaolan who is here, and Lin Zhi's sister and a very beautiful deer are here!" After saying that, he patted the fawn's neck and motioned for it to go quickly.
The fawn also liked the lively and cute little boy, and soon opened his hooves and followed his instructions to the half-open door in the middle of the main house.
Lin Xi and the others were also busy following, and as soon as Xiaolan picked up the little boy from the back of the fawn, he saw Lin Zhi rushing out of the east wing, threw himself into Lin Xi's arms, and said happily, "Sister! ā
Lin Xi rubbed his head with a smile, "Well, it's my sister!" Yu Guang caught a glimpse of another figure coming out of the east chamber, judging by his age and momentum, it should be Elder Chengfeng.
Lin Zhi heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind him, remembered that the master was also there, and hurriedly raised his head, thinking of the behavior just now, he couldn't help but blush a little.
"Master!" Lin Zhi straightened his clothes and looked at Elder Chengfeng with a red face.
"This is my sister, Lin Xi!"
"Hello, I'm Lin Xi, Lin Zhi's sister!" Lin Xi was inexplicably a little nervous, and actually remembered the feeling of holding a parent-teacher conference for a relative's child in his previous life.
Elder Chengfeng wisped his beard and nodded.
"This is Brother Xue Yixue, this is Uncle Zhong, and this is ......" Lin Zhi touched his nose and looked at his sister.
"This is Ji Nan, Xiao Yu'er, this is Xiao Lu, my friend!" Lin Xi added.
As for their true bodies, they could be seen through at a glance with Elder Chengfeng's cultivation.
Elder Chengfeng's eyes flashed when he heard this, he looked at Lin Xi deeply, and smiled slightly, "Well, are you here to see Lin Zhi?" ā
Lin Zhiyan looked at his sister when he heard this, he suddenly came without even delivering a letter, something must have happened in Taosang City, and he had to ask him later.
Lin Xi took out a jade box with a deep mouth of one foot long and one inch wide and handed it to Elder Chengfeng, "Sort of." I am very grateful that you have taken my brother as an apprentice, and we want to stay here for a few days, it may disturb you, this box is a small tribute to us, I hope you don't dislike it. ā
Elder Chengfeng glanced at Lin Zhi and took the box, although the armor was cherished, it was not unusual for him, "Accepting Lin Zhi as an apprentice is indeed because of his talent in alchemy, you don't have to think about it so much." A few young friends came here as guests, and I was very welcome. If you need anything, tell the child, and someone will help you out. You can live in peace of mind, not everyone can enter Hongji Temple! ā
Lin Xi was taken aback when he heard this, he actually knew that several people had come here to take refuge!
I thought that he was staying on this mountain, and Lin Xi had prepared a bunch of words for this, but he couldn't use it now.
Lin Xi replied very respectfully, "Thank you Elder Chengfeng for your help!" We will leave as soon as possible! ā
Elder Chengfeng nodded, glanced at Lin Zhi, and said with a smile, "If I don't agree, I'm going to make trouble for me!" ā
Lin Xi smiled and said nothing, he couldn't answer this.
Lin Zhi secretly glanced at the master, with grievances on his face, when did he do this? At most, you won't be allowed to eat grandma's cooking!
*******
As soon as the sky was bright, Lin Xi opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and moved his nose slightly, "It's so fragrant!" It's the smell of donkey meat! I couldn't sit still anymore, rubbed my somewhat sore legs and got up from the futon.
Since arriving at Hongji Temple and being able to eat grandma's cooking again, Lin Xi has always been able to be at the table on time, especially after smelling the smell of the fresh donkey meat after eating vegetarian for several days.
After the meal, after Lin Xi and Lin Zhi's sisters and brothers exchanged ideas, Lin Xi sent Lin Zhi into the east wing and retreated. After this period of cultivation, her cultivation had already reached the middle stage of foundation building, and Lin Zhi had already entered the end stage of foundation building more than ten days ago.
In the past few days, Xue Yi spent seven days refining the antidote with honeysuckle for Uncle Zhong, and the toxins in Uncle Zhong's body were also resolved, and most of his body recovered. And because of Lin Xi's strong request, Xue Yi has been in retreat for the past few days to refine the Bone Cleansing Pill for Washing the Pulp and Cutting the Sutra, except for Xiaolan and Ji Nan, who have already booked it, this time they have added Lin Zhi, Xiao Yu'er, Xiaolu, and Xiao Tong, and even Elder Chengfeng heard about it from Lin Zhi and deliberately found Lin Xi to study it well.
Lin Xi took advantage of Lin Zhi's gap to rest, and copied some of the useful Dan prescriptions found in the space to Lin Zhi, and after being seen by Elder Chengfeng, he learned that Lin Xi gave it, and since then Lin Xi has been 'entangled', and tried to find Lin Xi in the name of discussion, and studied the Dan Fang for an afternoon.
However, Lin Xi also benefited a lot from this, and he made great progress in alchemy. Elder Chengfeng even took action to modify the flaws in these Dan Fangs, making the Dan Fang more perfect.
For a while, Lin Xi and the others became the most popular people in the eyes of Elder Chengfeng, and even Lin Zhi, whom he had always liked very much, had to be ranked behind.
Originally, according to the plan, as soon as Uncle Zhong's poison was resolved, a few people would leave here, in addition to Elder Chengfeng's reluctance to let a few people leave so quickly, another point was that Xue Yi was finally going to advance!
So, a few people had to stay here.
Today, Elder Chengfeng is going to teach Lin Zhi about alchemy, and Lin Xi will be very idle today, so he made an appointment with Xiaoyu'er, Xiaolu, and Ji Nan to go to Pingyang City together.
Several people walked down the mountain, and it was already an hour after they reached Pingyang City.
Although Pingyang City is not as big as Taosang City, its prosperity is not inferior to Taosang City. After just a few steps, Xiao Yu'er couldn't hold back her eyes and urged a few people to leave quickly, "Sister, hurry up, there will be no seats if you go late!" ā
Xiao Yu'er's fiery momentum caused the sideways of the surrounding pedestrians, and Ji Nan, who was wearing a white robe and looked like a 'fairy spirit', couldn't bear it anymore, "You're enough!" If we make any more noise, we'll leave! "I'm really sorry for his clothes when I walk with Xiao Yu'er.
Xiao Yu'er pursed his lips and walked on the side of the deer in a regular manner, his cultivation was higher than Ji Nan's, but Ji Nan has always been cunning (wise), he doesn't care about Ji Nan in general.
