Early in the morning, a group of people washed up and ate something and went on the road again, now it is only three hours away from the ancient temple, because it is not in a hurry, so it is much slower. Enjoy the scenery along the way, and a group of people taking pictures are happy.

At noon, I finally saw a dilapidated ancient temple not far ahead, and it seemed that this was the ancient temple in the mouth of the thundering sword. The trees in the vicinity have been cut down, and there is a large open space where some vegetables and fruits are planted to supply the daily needs of the monks.

At this time, there was a bald monk who was taking care of the vegetable garden, and when he saw Ye Zhiqiu's group of people approaching, he put down the farm work in his hand and stepped forward to give a salute: "How many donors want to come to the temple?" ”

Lei Mingjian nodded and said, "We heard that there is an ancient temple here, so we came here to pay our respects." ”

Yuan Long walked into the depths of the jungle by himself at this time, obviously unwilling to deal with this group of monks. The monk glanced at it, bowed his head and said, "I'm going to ask the abbot, you guys wait here." ”

"I'm tired."

The monk pushed open the wooden door and entered the temple, and the smell of incense filled the temple around, and there was a faint green smoke on the tiles of the main hall inside. After a while, the monk came out, and Shi Li said, "The abbot said, and the female benefactor retreated. ”

Lei Mingjian was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Be accommodating, we are all together, only we can go in, what a pity they can't go in." ”

How do you know that the monk is very stubborn: "The temple can't enter women." ”

Li Pei on the side cut down and said, "If you don't go, you won't go, what's the big deal, let's go around and take pictures." ”

Seeing that Lin Mengran and the others agreed to leave, Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "I'm tired, please lead the way." ”

The monk led the way into the ancient temple in front, this ancient temple is really a little shabby, go out in the middle of a large hall is quite tall and magnificent, and the others are some low old bungalows. And here it is, the signals come and go, not to mention electricity and water.

The place was paved with bluestone bricks, and the monk took a few people to an incense pond in the main gate that had piled up incense ashes for many years, and one person handed three incense sticks and left alone, without asking for money and no extra nonsense. Ye Zhiqiu lit incense next to the candle and inserted it in the incense pool after three worships, only feeling that it was very cordial here, like a feeling of going home, which was very rare and comfortable.

"Amitabha." An old voice sounded on the side, and everyone turned their heads to look, and saw an old monk in a gray robe standing aside, looking more than ninety years old, holding a string of black Buddha beads in his hand and turning them one by one.

"Hello Master." Although Li Hu and the others are playful, they have to restrain their minds when they arrive at this kind of ancient Buddhist holy land.

"I'm the abbot here, and my name is Rou'an." Master Rou'an bowed slightly.

"Hello Master Rou'an." The crowd bowed again.

Master Rou'an straightened up, looked around with his eyes, and finally looked at Ye Zhiqiu's body, and said with a smile: "It is not easy for a few people to wade through mountains and rivers to my ancient temple in the deep mountains, follow me into the temple to offer incense." ”

"Okay."

Master Rou'an led the way in front, because of his age, he walked very slowly, but he didn't let his disciples help him or use crutches, and his body was quite tough. A group of people entered the main hall, surrounded by the angry eyes of the gods and Buddhas, Li Hu couldn't help but shrink his neck when he looked at it, and felt that this group of Bodhisattvas was too fierce.

"We don't count fortunes, nor do we count marriages. A few people can express their inner sincerity. Master Rou'an was not pretentious, and after leading a few people into the main hall, he glanced at Ye Zhiqiu and turned to leave.

Ye Zhiqiu glanced at it, followed out, and asked Li Hu and them to pray here, and followed Master Rou'an in small steps, Ye Zhiqiu grinned and said, "Master, I'm here." ”

"I didn't call you." Master Rouan said.

"That's my own feelings, I want to ask the master some questions."

"Just ask." Master Rou'an said: "But I'm just a stubborn old antique, my mind can't keep up with you young people, how many years I haven't been out of the mountains, the outside world, I don't know." ”

"I want to ask you, why do I feel so close to standing here, like I'm back home?" Ye Zhiqiu asked the question in his heart suspiciously.

Master Rou'an stopped, turned to look at Ye Zhiqiu, stretched out his withered arm, and pointed at Ye Zhiqiu's nausea with his fingertips, but he felt extremely painful.

"Hey, hey, because you are already a member of our Buddhism, and if you go back to Buddhism, you will naturally go home."

After Master Rou'an finished speaking, he smiled and walked forward, Ye Zhiqiu was confused, he was not a person who believed in Buddhism in his previous life or in this life, not to mention that he would never easily set foot in the holy land of Buddhism because of his heavy killing, where did the people in Buddhism come from.

"Master, I don't understand." Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly followed.

"Do you believe that heaven and man descend to earth?" Master Rou'an asked slowly.

"I don't know." Ye Zhiqiu gave a general answer, and he felt that there might be an answer today.

Master Rouan said, "If you believe, you will have, and if you don't believe, you will not." ”

"......" Ye Zhiqiu was a little speechless for this Rou'an master, just say it, why go around in circles, so Ye Zhiqiu chased after him and asked, "Then here are the relics burned after the death of the eminent monks." ”

"I am ashamed to say that since the day the temple was built, no one has been able to become a Buddha to burn relics. In the future, it is the burial place of the monks of our temple, and the donor is willing to go? ”

"Okay."

Master Rou'an took Ye Zhiqiu to the backyard, pushed open the dilapidated wooden door, and saw dozens of ancient towers more than four meters high erected in the open space of more than 100 square meters, and the incense was full of incense. In each ancient pagoda, there are many regular holes, and there is basically a stone box inside, and I think this is the monk who has passed away in the temple for hundreds of years.

"Donor, please take care of yourself." Master Rouan said, turning to leave.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at this dead and silent ancient temple, and only felt that his mind was extremely calm, as if this was his home. After being in a daze for five or six minutes, Ye Zhiqiu turned around and went to the front yard, and happened to run into Li Peining who hurriedly ran in.

"Ye Zhiqiu, it's not good." Li Peining's expression was extremely panicked, and he took Ye Zhiqiu's hand and ran out, hurriedly shouting: "Just now, a group of people forcibly took away Mengran and them, I ran away so much, you go and save them." ”

Ye Zhiqiu suddenly felt his heart shrink violently, and he couldn't care about Li Hu and them, who were still in the main hall, and said, "Let's go quickly." ”
