Chapter 328: Qingyin Temple
"Ah, isn't this Lin Gongzi?" When the chic figure in the wide-sleeved robe on the carriage walked down, Zhou's mother put down the teacup and hurriedly greeted her.
"Mother Zhou? How could you ......? Lin Xi didn't expect to meet Zhou's mother here, so when he was talking to her, he looked around.
"Madame and Little Boy went up the mountain, but why did Young Master Lin come here too?" Seeing Lin Xi like this, Mother Zhou knew that he was looking for You Xiaoya and them, so she smiled and explained to him.
"There is a Qingyin Temple on this Putuo Mountain, and a friend who practiced meditation and Buddhism there in his later life is that he will come to visit him from time to time." Lin Xi is a very polite person, so even Mother Zhou, who treats the servant, is very polite.
"I see, Mrs., she took her son and them to climb the mountain, I'm afraid they will also pass by the Qingyin Temple." Mother Zhou nodded and smiled.
"Maybe we'll meet again." Lin Xi also smiled.
After that, Zhou's mother no longer delayed Lin Xi and let him go up the mountain as well, but as Lin Xi said, he really met Jin Yuanyuan, who was tired halfway through the climb and wanted to let You Xiaoya hold Jin Yuanyuan, who refused to go again, so the mother and son stayed in Qingyin Temple.
As for the Jin Yuanjiang brothers, they swore not to give up until they reached the top of the mountain, so You Xiaoya asked Xiao Cui'er and Xiao Douzi to follow them and continue to climb up.
Lin Xi's footsteps were fast, so You Xiaoya and the others had just entered the back Zen courtyard to rest under the arrangement of the little monk, and Lin Xi had already arrived at the gate of Qingyin Temple, because he was a regular customer. So most of the monks in the temple nodded to him and went their own way.
And he was familiar with the road and walked towards the back of the Zen Temple, Qingyin Temple is not very big, so the back of the Zen Temple is said to be built by the mountain. But the scale is not so large, only divided into a courtyard for monks to sit and meditate and rest, and another for the people in the red dust to prepare a fasting courtyard.
When Lin Xi entered the monk's zazen monastery, he happened to see the little monk walking out of the fasting monastery at the back, he made up his mind, nodded with the little monk and entered the zazen monastery that he was quite familiar with.
"Today's tea fragrance is just right." When he entered a small yard planted with a few bitter bamboos, Lin Xi smelled a fresh fragrance.
At the same time, a slow sound of water mixing came from inside the room. From Lin Xi's point of view, he could see a pair of wrinkled hands in front of the Buddha statue enshrined in the house. A clay pot is being put down smoothly.
"Knowing that you are coming today, you are soaking in this dragon well before the rain." Although the old man's voice was old, he slowly sat down to the bottom.
"Feast on it." While talking, Lin Xi had already entered the house. He folded his hands and bowed to the old man in the room. Only then did he walk to the tea table in front of the old man and sit cross-legged on the futon.
"Please" The old man handed the poured tea to Lin Xi, with a holy smile on his pleated but unusually kind face.
"It's my friend's tea making method." After taking a sip of tea, after the aftertaste, Lin Xi smiled knowingly.
"I've heard you mention this friend many times, but I don't want her to come to this Qingyin Temple by herself today, it's really fate......"
For gods and Buddhas, You Xiaoya did not have much faith. She simply believed in cause and effect. Cause and effect, the simplest logic. Others like hell reincarnation ghosts and so on, she really didn't have much of a concept, she didn't believe or didn't believe it, and she didn't have the stubbornness to figure it out.
The best embodiment of this is in You Xiaoya, she never thinks deeply about why she came to this place, why she dreams of You Xiaoya, who she has never met. In her opinion, if you can't change it, you will accept it, so when you come, you will dream about it, and you will dream about it.
There are so many things in the world that can't be explained, you can't just use this kind of lame trick to fool you because you can't explain it, right? In You Xiaoya's opinion, this is not scientific, but it can't make her superstitious.
So when she came to Qingyin Temple, she didn't mean to worship the Buddha, but only gave some sesame oil money as a reward for the temple to give her a place to rest.
Jin Yuanyuan got up early today because of her young age, and she was bumpy in the car for so long, so she followed You Xiaoya into the temple and fell asleep for a while. Now You Xiaoya is guarding her while enjoying the tranquility brought by this temple.
Originally, she also wanted to take a nap, but after all, it was not an environment she was familiar with, so she couldn't sleep after a few attempts, and finally gave up. There were occasionally a few muffled and assertive chanting voices in the distance, and You Xiaoya's heart slowly calmed down, and she casually took a copy of the 'Yuanjue Sutra' in the room and flipped it up.
However, in view of the fact that You Xiaoya really has no talent in literary attainments, and classical Chinese is a model of rote memorization, so when she turned to the first part, she closed the scriptures again before she saw the end.
Although she usually reads some books, most of them are books on geography and unique materials of this era, and these things can still be found in life, so she doesn't seem to have much difficulty.
But the scriptures ...... You Xiaoya really couldn't understand it, so after closing the scriptures, she was going to see if there was anything else to do.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that she was about to get up and look at a familiar figure outside the courtyard.
"Lin Xi?"
"There is an old man in Qingyin Temple, and he has to come to visit him today." As if knowing that You Xiaoya was wondering why he was here, Lin Xi explained with a smile.
"I see" You Xiaoya remembered that Lin Xi had invited her to come to Qingyin Temple before, and he also mentioned an old man at that time.
"Originally, I said when I would invite you to come to Qingyin Temple, but I didn't want to be so coincidental today." Last year, Lin Xi mentioned asking You Xiaoya to come to Qingyin Temple together, but the two never found the right time.
"Indeed" You Xiaoya smiled, and then the two had a tacit understanding, and walked out one after the other.
However, because of You Xiaoya's worries about Jin Yuanyuan, she planned to ask a little master in the temple to help her watch it, but Lin Xi had already thought of this layer before, so the two of them met a little master who came over as soon as they went out, and then briefly explained, and the two left.
A cage of green bamboo, sparse and suitable, the design of the Zen house is simple, quite some architectural styles of the Wei and Jin dynasties, bold and bold, clean and neat. Of course, it was precisely because of this first glance that You Xiaoya seemed to be able to understand why Lin Xi was friends with this Zen master, after all, the two had the same interests and hobbies.
Then followed Lin Xi, You Xiaoya entered the house. In the room, in front of a simple tea table, a kind-eyed old monk was slowly mixing tea with a few purple sand cups on the case, and when he saw You Xiaoya and the others coming in, he raised his head and nodded at them, his eyes were kind and soft.
