Chapter 18: The Temple of the Empty Cicada
After dinner, Hao Nan and Hao Lianlie sat on the sofa and watched TV while talking about what they needed to prepare for going to the Ascetic Society tomorrow. Maybe it's because the upgraded body can withstand the energy of half of the pet ration, and after eating beef and pet rations today, Hopping didn't sleep but was very mentally running around.
Hao Nan and Hao Lianlie will also go out in the evening to buy tomorrow's gifts.
Early the next morning, the Hao family took gifts and took Didi to the ascetic association, because they had to bring Hop Hop, so they could only play Didi, Hao Lianlie's motorcycle could not carry Hop Hop, a tiger that could not sit on two legs.
Didi went to the temple of the ascetic association, yes, the temple, called the empty cicada temple, because the ascetic association does not have too many rules, it is generally up to the president to decide everything, and the president of this ascetic association is a 68-level ascetic, so the ascetic association in the 45th district is stationed in the shape of a temple, if the president is a warrior monk, then the appearance of the ascetic association will be a dojo.
The temple of the ascetic association covers a huge area, after all, the president is a rare high-level powerhouse in the 45th district, and the district chief is a scum in front of his old man, so when the ascetic association wanted to land in 45, the district chief Peng Jinkaipeng spent a lot of effort, not only allocated a large piece of open land to the ascetic association, but also paid out of his own pocket to build this complex for them.
Walk into the temple gate, the first thing that catches your eye is a high temple tower, the early morning sun is sprinkled on the temple tower and is a little dazzling, and then you can see the granite as the base of the big stone tablet a few steps forward, there are white marble railings all around, the upper end of both sides of the stone steps, squatting two stone lions more than one foot high.
Knock~ A bell rang suddenly, making Hao Nan ring a poem in his previous life
"Early in the morning into the ancient temple, the first sun shines on the high forest.
The bamboo path leads to the secluded place, and the flowers and trees in the meditation room are deep.
The mountain light is pleasing to the birds, and the pond shadow is empty.
Wan Lai is silent here, but Yu Zhong chimes. ”
This place is indeed a good place to practice the mind!
Hao Nan and Hao Lianlie carried the gifts and walked to their grandmother's room
As soon as I walked to the centralized residence of the Empty Cicada Temple, I could see an old woman dressed plainly and another woman slowly sweeping the fallen leaves on the stone bricks
"Mom, I'll help you," Hao Lianlie hurriedly ran over to take the broom from his grandmother's hand
"What are you coming, what are you coming, the master said that everything you do here is cultivation, you help me do things, can you still help me cultivate? I taught you to do your own things since I was a child, do you forget it" Grandma Hao missed Hao Lianlie and wanted to take the broom's hand, and scolded unceremoniously.
"Grandma, I'm coming to visit you, it's going to be a big summer soon, the weather is hot, and you don't have any modern equipment here, so I prepared this mattress for you, this mattress can be used without plugging in, he is at a constant temperature, no matter winter or summer, it can maintain the most comfortable temperature for the human body," Hao Nan hurriedly stepped forward to relieve Hao Lianlie
"Oh, Xiao Nan, don't buy this and that for grandma in the future, grandma has everything here, you have to start cultivating now, it's the time when you need money," Grandma Hao said this, but she still smiled and took the black technology mattress that Hao Nan bought for him
"Ah Cha, I'll take them to the master first, and then I'll come and sweep with you," Grandma Hao said to the old woman next to her, who was looking at the Hao family's father and son with a kind face
"Go, go, don't come here, it's okay, it's almost over," Granny Ah Cha waved her hand and smiled
Grandma Hao carried the mattress with one hand and returned to her room with the Hao family father and son and the little tiger who followed Hao Nan with low eyebrows.
Grandma Hao was a berserker when she was young~ Well, it is Peng Liangyi's kind of berserker and the level has reached level 27, if it weren't for the early death of Hao Nan's grandfather, Grandma Hao needs to pull Hao Lianlie, and finally Hao Lianlie has grown up but has to pull Hao Nan, maybe he can enter level 50 now, although the grade is older, but the level is there, Hao Lianlie may not be able to stand a few punches from Grandma Hao.
"Oh! this is Hop Hop, isn't it! Come to Grandma! Come," Grandma Hao casually threw the mattress onto the bed, and saw Hop Hop beckoning and laughing when she saw a few people following her
Jumping actually walked to Grandma Hao very obediently, and rubbed Grandma Hao's wrinkled face
"Oh, what a cute child" Grandma Hao stroked her round head
Then Grandma Hao hugged Hop and Hop while chatting with the Hao family father and son, and walked to the room of the president of the ascetic association
Yes, Grandma Hao's master's surname is Han is the president of this ascetic association, otherwise he would not have such a great ability to give the lotus seeds and more precious tea leaves at once, you must know that this ascetic association actually belongs to the president's personal finances, and the cultivators in it are all taken in by the president! If it weren't for the president, others wouldn't be able to even get close to the lotus seeds
"Master" Grandma Hao took the Hao family and the two of them into a room with several dumplings, stretched out her fingers to an old monk who was meditating in the middle, raised them to her chest, bowed slightly and shouted to her head
The old monk opened his eyes, Hao Nan met his eyes, only to feel that his Force had suddenly risen! Hao Nan immediately opened the attribute bar and checked it, and found that his Force had increased from 10 to 11, and his experience had changed from 10 ↑/100 to 11 ↑/100
"Wow, this old master has something, let me add a little force after taking a look at me" Hao Nan thought a little surprised after checking his attributes
"Presumably you are Ah Hua's family, I've been hearing Ah Hua mention you, come and sit," the old master said very kindly
After that, everyone found a group to sit down, and Jumping actually ran to Hao Nan and squatted down and leaned against Hao Nan tightly
Hao Nan looked at it a little strangely, jumping and jumping was very strange, he was originally very active, he was so well-behaved today
"I'm really bothering you today, mainly because I want to express our gratitude to you personally, I didn't expect that the apprenticeship you gave us last time was such a valuable thing, and we don't have anything good to honor you, I heard my mother say that you like plants very much, so I asked me to think that the friends of the Pioneer Corps brought you a bamboo they got in the wasteland" Hao Lianlie said and carefully took out a potted plant from the package he was carrying, and there was a dark green bamboo in the potted plant
"Oh! it's actually Mo Yuzhu, you have a heart" The old master didn't expect Hao Lianlie to be able to take out Mo Yuzhu as a return gift
Moyu bamboo is a kind of bamboo that is relatively rare now, this kind of bamboo only has one function, which is to be able to absorb the surrounding distractions, and it can play a role in calming the mind and clearing the mind, which is very magical, and this kind of bamboo is only available on the planet of the immortal civilization and must exist in the territory of high-level poisons, Hao Lianlie must have spent a lot of effort to find this kind of bamboo.
Mo Yuzhu has a great effect on ascetics, why the number of ascetics is small is because the society is too impetuous, people's hearts are too complicated, and it is naturally easy to be distracted if they want too much, but if they are planted with ink jade bamboo in this empty temple, then the cultivation of ascetics who practice in the empty temple will be more stable.
"Then the old man will be cheeky to accept your gift"
