After dawn, Sui Han Siyou rushed to Dafa Temple with Li En, but did not enter through the main gate, but walked along the courtyard wall of the temple to the backyard, under a low courtyard wall, stopped, Zha Tiankuo jumped to the head of the wall, and then looked into the courtyard wall.

Zhan Kaijiao and Xue Tao held up the third child and put it on the wall, and when Zha Tiankuo saw that there was no one in the courtyard, he jumped in gently, and then took the third child down and put it at the base of the wall.

Li En was also pushed against the wall by the two of them, and then jumped off, but he used to roll on the spot after landing to avoid hurting his feet.

Cha Tiankuo immediately signaled him not to make a move, and then took the two companions down, and the group sat at the base of the wall gasping for breath, the bell stopped, and a group of monks rushed here, and when they saw them, they showed a look of surprise.

Zhan Kaijiao hurriedly got up and said: "We are tourists who are passing here, and we were chased by big insects, so we fled here for refuge, and we hope that the holy monks will take them in." ā€

The monks stared at them but did not answer, but one monk went to report the news, and the five of them immediately became nervous.

Jin Shenghan endured the pain and said, "You guys don't care about me, take Li Gongzi out, I'll cover up!" ā€

Zhan Kaijiao said: "We won't leave our brothers alone!" ā€

A little monk brought in an old monk, and these monks gave way.

The old monk clasped his palms together and said, "Amitabha, good and good." Who are the benefactors? Why did you sneak into our temple? ā€

Zha Tiankuo hurriedly said: "I know the abbot of your temple, I want to see your abbot." ā€

The old monk said: "Our abbot is meditating, it is inconvenient to meet guests, the old man is the temple here, if you are a fugitive wanted by the imperial court, we can't take it in!" ā€

Zhan Kaijiao said: "Let me tell you the truth, we are the chivalrous warriors of the rivers and lakes passing through here, and we were ambushed by a group of enemies of unknown origin, and my brother was seriously injured, so he came to your temple to take refuge, and hoped that the monks would take him in." ā€

The old monk looked at Li En, and several of them were covered in mud and embarrassed.

Li En got up and bowed his hand, and said: "Li En, who was born late, is just a scholar, and the four of them escorted me to Mount Emei for medical treatment, we are not fugitives wanted by the imperial court!" ā€

The old monk believed his words, and said, "Those donors, please go to the backyard room to rest!" The monks are merciful and will not embarrass you! ā€

Li En thanked him and went to help Jin Shenghan, but the four friends of Sui Han were still vigilant.

The old monk led them to the backyard wing, and ordered the little monk to boil water for them, but Zhan Kaijiao grabbed the old monk and said, "Master Temple Management, I want to ask a few words below, and I hope the master will answer!" ā€

Li En took off his coat, went outside the room to shake off the mud on his clothes, and listened to the conversation between the two in the house.

"Does the Master know who ambushed us?"

"Lao Na is a monk, and he never asks about things in the rivers and lakes?"

"Does the master know who has come out lately?"

The old monk still shook his head and said that he didn't know, and Zhan Kaijiao said: "Since the master doesn't know, the younger generation won't ask more, the master please!" ā€

The old monk said: "If a few donors have any needs, just ask!" Then he took his leave of the room, and Li En hurriedly put away his coat and thanked him.

Zhan Kaijiao said to Zha Tiankuo: "Second brother, you go to the roof to be on guard!" ā€

In the room, Xue Tao began to treat Jin Shenghan's bones, and the two little monks arrived with a wooden bucket of hot water and asked, "The temple manager asked the two of us to ask, do several donors need breakfast?" ā€

Zhan Kaijiao said: "No need! But he quickly said: "Yes, there are two monks!" ā€

"Don't be polite, breakfast will be delivered immediately!" The two little monks said goodbye and left.

Xue Tao asked: "Big brother is not afraid that these meals are poisonous?" ā€

Zhan Kaijiao took off his clothes, sat down in the bathtub, and said, "Don't be afraid, if the food is poisonous, it will reveal their identity." ā€

Li En asked Zha Tiankuo on the roof, "Do you really know the abbot of the temple?" ā€

Zha Tiankuo raised his eyes and looked around, and replied: "I have been here to offer incense before, and I have asked Abbot Nengren about Zen, so I know it!" ā€

Zhan Kaijiao quickly bathed, then changed into a set of monk's clothes, and said to the outside of the room: "Li Gongzi, you should take a bath quickly!" ā€

Li En went back to the room to bathe, and the two little monks brought breakfast, which was still brown rice porridge, steamed buns and pickles. However, the two monks also brought a few sets of coarse cloth clothes, and said, "We only have these sets of clothes, all of which were worn before becoming monks, please forgive me!" ā€

Zhan Kaijiao thanked the two, and the two monks said goodbye and left.

Xue Tao connected the broken bones for the third child, fixed them with a belt and a wooden board, and Li En also bathed and changed into a set of coarse cloth clothes, which were a little old, but they fit well.

Zhan Kaijiao said: "Fourth, you hurry up and take a bath, Li Gongzi and I will eat first, and then we will take turns to be vigilant, and the others will take a rest!" ā€

Xue Tao took off his dirty clothes and also took a bath in the bathtub, Li En picked up the bowl and was about to drink porridge, but stopped at the side of his mouth, Zhan Kaijiao said: "You drink it first, if it's not poisonous, I'll drink it again." ā€

Li En frowned, Zhan Kaijiao pulled out a silver needle from his head, inserted it into the porridge, and then took it out and checked it carefully, the silver needle did not change color, so he said: "There is no poison in the porridge, you can drink it with confidence!" Then he went to test the steamed buns and pickles, and Li En looked at his hair and couldn't drink the porridge anymore.

After the steamed buns and pickles were normal, Zhan Kaijiao started eating, Li En had to endure the rice, Xue Tao bathed, got dressed, took a bowl of porridge and prepared to feed the third child lying on the bed, Zhan Kaijiao stopped him, and said: "You hurry up and eat, let Li Gongzi feed the third child to drink porridge, and I will replace the fourth guard!" ā€

Li En also had breakfast, so he went to feed Jin Shenghan with rice, Zha Tiankuo quickly bathed, and then with rice, Xue Tao threw their clothes into the bathtub to wash, and then took them outside the room to dry.

Jin Shenghan only drank a bowl of porridge, and Li En was sleepy, so he lay down next to him and fell asleep.

Xue Tao also returned to the room, meditated cross-legged in front of the bed, Zha Tiankuo walked out of the room, and said to the old avenue on the roof: "How is the situation in the temple?" Are there any suspicious people coming in and out? ā€

Zhan Kaijiao on the roof said: "Everything is normal in the temple, the people who enter the temple are ordinary pilgrims, you lock the door, and the two of us go to the front hall to inquire about the situation outside!" ā€

Zha Tiankuo responded, and went to the monk's room next to him to borrow a lock, locked the monk's room where they were staying, and the two walked to the front yard together.

Most of the people who come to Dafa Temple to offer incense are some women and children, but there are also some dignitaries and nobles dressed in gorgeous clothes, and wealthy businessmen. In addition to incense, these people also have to draw a lot to calculate their fortune.

Next to the main hall, there is a monk in a robe who is unsigning for the pilgrims, each sign is as little as five coins of silver, and as much as ten taels, depending on the clothes of these seekers.

Zhan Kaijiao smiled, came to the monk's side, whispered a few words to him, and the monk nodded in response, got up and gave up his seat.
