Chapter 200: The Monk
A few young and strong ones, who seemed to be quite clever, followed the two guards to Gao Feng's back house with Zhou Nan and stood still at the door. One of the guards instructed: "Wait with me, load the grain and rice into the cart first, and then get up and go to the west of the city." This is the back house of adults, walking and doing things must be rules, don't talk nonsense, be seen by adults, you can't eat a full meal, but have a good meal. When everyone heard this, they all bent down and nodded, not even daring to speak. Zhou Nan was mixed in the middle, learning from each other, and nodding his head.
Waiting for Zhou Nan and the others to load the grain into a carriage, Gao Feng also changed and obeyed and came out of the house, and did not bring many people, just rode a horse, only with a small servant, and gave an order, Zhou Nan These homeless beggars followed the carriage, Gao Feng followed behind a team of guards, and went to the Jingjue Temple in the west of the city.
Taining Mountain is forty miles west of Yizhou City, a group of people are riding horses, and walking, the speed is not fast, has been walking for nearly two hours, before coming to the gate of Jingjue Temple Mountain, Gao Feng got off the horse, and the personal servant took it and led the horse aside. Fahui Zen Master in the temple had already come out, greeted each other with Gao Feng, and invited Gao Feng into the temple.
Another monk came to greet Zhou Nan and they carried the grain and rice into the back, the mountain gate was high, it was inconvenient to push the cart, Zhou Nan they carried bags of grain to their shoulders, followed the monk into the temple, and walked to the north.
It turns out that this Liao temple is located differently than the Central Plains temple. The Khitan people advocate the sun and the moon, and they sit in the west to the east, facing the east where the sun rises, so even with the Buddhist temple in the Liao border, they have to change the direction, and the temple gate and the main hall are sitting in the direction of the west to the east. So Zhou Nan followed the monk into the mountain gate and walked towards the kitchen to the north.
Zhou Nan walked while secretly looking at the situation in the temple. I saw Gao Feng follow the presiding monk to the main hall, obviously going to the incense to worship the Buddha first. I don't know where this presiding officer lives, but after worshipping the Buddha, he will usually find a place to invite the largest governor of a state to drink tea and chat, and if you can find an opportunity to sneak over and listen, you will definitely gain something.
Since Zhou Nan was heartfelt, he carefully inspected the surrounding corridors and houses. On the northernmost side is a row of brick and wood houses with stone foundations, which are sorted and placed with various vegetables and grains, and it seems that this is the storehouse of the temple, and next to it is presumably the kitchen. Coming out of the storehouse, there is another row of houses in the westernmost part, which looks much neater and brighter, and one by one, it should be the monk's house. There was a corridor to the south from the monastic house, but I didn't know where it led.
Along the road when he came, he carried another bag of grain outside, but this time the monk did not lead the way, so he naturally found a place to rest. Zhou Nan deliberately walked at the back, seeing that other people had passed the corner, Zhou Nan turned around and walked towards the corridor leading to the south of the monk's house. At the end of the corridor, there is a red wall, turn to the right and take a few steps, there is a door on the wall, and from the door, it is the main hall facing the mountain gate, which originally separated the main hall from the place where the monks rested and ate.
Zhou Nan was about to go to the main hall, but saw the host and Gao Feng walking out of the main hall, followed by two monks with their heads bowed and folded, coming towards this door. Zhou Nan hurriedly hid sideways and hid back in the wall, and his heart was really coincidental.
But where are you hiding, now at this hour, it won't be to go to the back to eat, that is, to find a clean place to chat, talk about the recent international situation, and share the latest pop tunes. Look left and right, there is no place to hide around, you want to leave here and go back to continue to carry food, your heart is unwilling, your heart is horizontal, take a step to see a step at a time, thinking of this, immediately turn around and run towards the row of exquisite houses in the east.
The house sits on three flights of steps, and appears to be made of timber except for the foundation, which is made of neat stones, and around the house, beyond three feet of the wall, there is a stone wall about three feet high, and under the eaves, it resembles a corridor. The roof is an almost flat roof, with red bucket arches protruding, and only two pine trees are planted under the steps, and the branches are luxuriant, straight and tall, and the ground is neat and clean.
And Gao Feng and the monks seemed to follow him, and they also walked here from afar. Zhou Nan looked around, there was really no place to hide, so he had to take a few steps up the steps, pushed open the wooden door of the room in the middle, dodged and squeezed in, and quickly closed the door. Only then did he take a look at the situation in the house.
The inside of this room is spacious, there are two rows of pillars arched, two rows of chairs in the room are placed opposite each other, but there is no seat in the middle of the head, only a Buddha statue is enshrined, and there is no place for monks to practice meditation, it looks like a place of hospitality. There are three rooms in the room, and there is an ear room on the left and right. Zhou Nan hurriedly ran to the door of the east ear room, and looked inside, but there was nothing here, only a seat, a few, a futon, a copper incense burner on a few days, and a few words were pasted on the walls around him, Zhou Nan didn't have time to take a closer look, it seemed that this was a place for monks to meditate and chant scriptures, and there was no place to hide.
When I went to the door of the west ear room, I saw a bed, a desk, a chair, and a row of bookshelves on the wall, which were full of books. It seems to be the presiding monk's bedroom.
Zhou Nan still wanted to see if Gao Feng and the host had come, but saw that the wooden door of the house was pushed open by two monks, and followed Gao Feng and the host monk and walked in. I actually won the lottery today, and I found the right place by mistake, and I can listen to the dialogue between Gao Feng and this host, which can be regarded as a harvest.
I only heard Gao Feng outside: "Master, Gao came today to come for the people of Yizhou, and I beg the master to help." ”
The host didn't ask anything about it first, but said: "Juekong, go to my room and get the rosin tea I only made when it rained in Gu Yu this year, and ask the tall man to taste the tea." ”
Another young voice replied, followed by the sound of footsteps coming here, Zhou Nan secretly said that it was broken, and when he looked back, there was only one bed, Zhou Nan hurriedly retreated, came to the bedside, rolled on the spot, and got under the bed, but felt that his hand was on a soft object, Zhou Nan suddenly thought about it, this nephrite jade is warm and fragrant, and he couldn't imagine that he had this affair under the monk's bed.
Before he had time to look closely, he heard the young monk walk into the bedroom, to the desk, not knowing what to do, and then the sound of footsteps walked outside, apparently taking the tea from the presiding officer's treasure, and went outside to make tea for the two.
Zhou Nan pressed the thing in his hand with force, and when he looked closely, it was a monk wearing a monk's robe. At this time, he was caught by Zhou Nan, but his face was not afraid, but he was held down by Zhou Nan, unable to move, and he was still holding a Buddha statue with a golden body and a jewel lotus in his hand. Looking at the posture of the fat monk, if the people outside leave, Zhou Nan's head may be "worshipped" by the Buddha statue at any time.
