A Zen temple.

Zen room.

"Sister Dongtian, Master Ye, Master has gone to receive a few pilgrims, and I will come over later!"

Yunma walked in with a tray and greeted us with a smile.

I smelled the fragrance of the tea, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as the night wandering god brought back to the underworld, and it seems that there is indeed some kind of coincidence in this that we have ignored in the past.

Before I could ask, Yunjian asked again, "Hey, where is that puppy, why didn't you see it coming?"

"Dog...... We found a place to eat and drink to keep it, this time we have to go to a lot of places, and it is not convenient to take it. ”

I explained, and then asked, "Xiaoyunjian, do you know where the tea in the monastery for pilgrims comes from?"

"Is my sister talking about this?"

Yunma gestured to the small tea bowl placed on the table.

On the side, Ye Dingxi, who was wearing a black peaked cap, a black mask and a simple casual clothes, said casually: "This tea is very delicious, so your sister Dongtian also wants to buy some and take it back." ”

I was slightly stunned, I didn't understand why Ye Dingxi didn't tell Yunjian the truth, but after thinking about it, Yunjian is a simple-minded kid, maybe it's better not to let him know many things.

Yunjian nodded and replied with a smile: "This tea was given by the old uncle in the Zhuangzi under the mountain, he led the practice for many years, collected a tea mountain at the bottom of the mountain, personally planted tea and picked tea, and sent some to the temple every year." ”

Zhuangzi?!

My heart jumped.

Could it be the mountain forest?

"Do you know the exact location of that Zhuangzi?" I asked.

Yun Jian nodded, "To the east of the foot of Yizen Temple, near the river, Zhuangzi is very small, except for the old uncle, there are only a few tea farmers, but since last year, the old uncle has not received outside guests, so I don't know if my sister and Ye Shizhu can see him." ”

"Oh?"

Ye Dingxi asked suspiciously: "Why don't you accept foreign guests?"

Yunjian tilted his little head and thought about it, before he said: "Actually, I don't know very well, it's just that in previous years, the old uncle personally went up the mountain to deliver tea, but since last year, it was a tea farmer who came to send it, listen."

He chatted with his uncle, and it seemed that the old uncle was seriously ill and his face was damaged, so he closed the door and did not ...... out."

Facial impaired?!

Ye Dingxi and I glanced at each other, and each frowned.

"What is the disease, did the tea farmer say?" I asked.

Yunjian shook his head: "No, just say that since the old uncle had a serious illness, he doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't like to see people, most of the time he hides in the grass hut, and they also come forward to trade when guests come to order tea." ”

"Then do you know the name of the old man?" Ye Dingxi asked.

Yunma shook his head again.

"Practitioners step out of the red dust with half a foot, but there is still half a foot in the red dust, some of them are very mysterious, and they are not willing to reveal their identities and names, but every time they come to the uncle to discuss Buddhism, and then enter the incense and chant for a few days, they will leave on their own, most of these people still have mundane things that have not been liberated, and the uncle will not ask more. ”

"I see. I nodded, looked at Ye Dingxi and said, "Shall we go to that villa first?"

The reason why I don't go directly into the forest, one is not yet at night, most of the day I walk around with him with a relic, it will inevitably attract attention, the second is from the awakening of Ye Dingxi, a Zen temple has become a new tourist check-in hot spot, today we see a lot of pilgrims and tourists along the road when we go up the mountain, it can be described as unprecedented.

In this way, if there is really any danger in the depths of the forest, it is very likely to affect innocent mortals.

To be on the safe side, it's better to wait until after dark.

"Well, let's go now. Ye Dingxi got up and said.

Yun Jian was a little confused, scratched the back of his head and said, "Master Ye, Sister Dongtian, you just came, do you want to leave again?"

"It's not to go, it's to go to the Zhuangzi you said, now there are many tourists in the temple, and Ye Dingxi is easy to be discovered after staying for a long time. I replied with a smile.

Hearing me say this, Yun Jian naturally stopped holding back, trotted to look left and right outside the meditation room, and then whispered: "Master Ye, Sister Dongtian, come out quickly, there are no tourists now!"

Ye Dingxi smiled at me and walked out holding hands.

In order to prevent direct encounters with the tourists in the front hall, Yunma took us down the mountain through the small gate in the backyard, where there were few tourists and only the mountain road

It is difficult to walk, but the path to Zhuangzi is closer.

We walked all the way through the courtyard to the site of the Kuixing Pavilion, which had burned down a year ago.

Although after a fire, the original Kuixing Pavilion no longer exists, but later this year, with the cooperation of the sick master and the workers sent by Ye Dingxi, a new Kuixing Pavilion has been officially completed and opened to the public, but the front of the door is deserted, not as strong as before.

As I walked over the fence under the attic, I was suddenly moved by the thought of life, old age, death, and the innocent monks who had been imprisoned in the cave.

"If it weren't for that withered divine tree, maybe Kui Muxingjun wouldn't be so eager for quick success, he was reincarnated as an adult, and he should have gone through the hardships and hardships of the human world before he could attain perfection, but the withered divine tree made him lose his heart and strayed into the evil path. ”

Ye Dingxi hung his head, and the big brim of his hat almost blocked his entire face, but I still felt the coldness between his chuckles.

"Although the withered divine wood is an evil thing, it can only guide the evil thoughts and evil thoughts in people's hearts, all the evil things done by Kui Mu Xingjun are not bred by the withered divine wood, but because of the withered divine wood, which fuels his evil thoughts, it causes him to go to the point of no return, leaning eastward, you think like this, it is inevitable that the cart is a little upside down. ”

I stuck out my tongue and laughed embarrassedly, "I always want to believe that at the beginning of human beings, nature is good." ”

"Every living being who is reborn in the Six Realms with karma is also destined for good and evil, and he has grown up all his life in order to accomplish some things and create some new causes and effects, so that he has reincarnation. ”

Ye Dingxi rubbed my hair, motioned to Yunjian, who was already standing by the small door and waiting, and said to me: "Let's go, don't delay Yunjian to get busy with business." ”

"Hmm!" I nodded, and walked with him out of the small, slightly old wooden door.

The other side of Kuixing Pavilion.

"Yoko, what are you looking at?" asked a young woman.

The girl in sportswear, with her long hair tied into a ponytail, and dressed neatly, shook her head: "It's nothing, cousin, I just saw a back, it looks like ...... Ye Dingxi. ”

My cousin glanced at her, "You, I'm afraid I'm thinking that Ye Dingxi is going crazy! He is recuperating in the hospital, how could he come to the temple! Besides, I just talked to the nurse on duty on the phone this morning, and they are staying in the ward!"
