When the sky was getting dark and the cold night wind in the mountains was gradually blowing, Li Bai, who was sleepy and tired, finally rushed to the place where the green smoke came out of the place he had seen before.

This looks like a monk temple, it is not big, it is probably equivalent to a two-entry courtyard, but it is built simple but elegant, pure and solemn and solemn, and it is also very old, so that people can't help but yearn for it?

However, at this time, Li Bai Lema stopped outside the gate of this temple, and was hesitating for a while, but he did not dare to go forward to knock on the door for the first time.

“……”

That's because, he had already seen it, there was ...... in this temple It's quirky!

Of course, it's not that it's a trick for some monsters, such as the illusion that the white bone spirit conjures up in Journey to the West to confuse people's minds, but that this temple has a faint trace of demonic energy?

That's right, it's demonic!

There are not a few monsters that have been seen and killed in contact, and it is impossible for Li Bai, who has been with a cunning female snake spirit for more than two months, not to recognize the demonic spirit! And this is also the main reason why he was a little hesitant and hesitant to move forward at this time.

"That's it!"

Die and die!

Gritting his teeth, Li Bai finally pulled the iron sword he bought next to the saddle, and then turned over and dismounted, ready to step forward to call the door.

There is no way, in the wilderness where there is no village in front of the village and no shop in the back, there seems to be only such an ancient temple near and far, if he doesn't live here, does he want to sleep in the wilderness?

Besides, a monster or something, it's not that he hasn't seen it, even if there is a monster inside, as long as the other party doesn't take the initiative to provoke him, he just can't see it, and then he will leave at dawn tomorrow morning, no matter what weird it is in this temple?

Sincere! Sincere!

"Is anyone there?"

"Here is a scholar passing by on a study tour, passing by here, it is late and the mountain road is dark and there is nowhere to go, so I came to spend the night!"

“……”

Sincere! Sincere! Sincere!

"Excuse me, is anyone inside?!"

While knocking on the door, Li Bai shouted loudly, and at the same time did not forget to clarify his identity and intention.

Then, when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from far and near, Li Bai, who knew that the people inside had heard it and were rushing to the door to open the door for him, took two steps back, waiting to see what it was that came to open the door for him.

If it's a youkai......

Well, even if it's really a monster, maybe he will only pretend not to recognize it, after all, he just wants to stay overnight, not to subdue demons or find trouble, after all, that kind of thing can only be done in addition to food and clothing or at noon.

Crunch~!

With the sound of wood rubbing, the slightly dilapidated wooden door of the ancient temple was opened inward, and the first thing Li Bai saw was a bald monk wearing a gray-brown monk's robe.

“！！”

To be honest, the moment he opened the door, when he saw the bright bald head, Li Bai almost couldn't help but draw his sword and slash it over!

But fortunately, when the other party looked up, he saw clearly, although the figure and clothes of the person who came were very similar to a certain guy who didn't speak of martial arts and raised his hand to cast the 'Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon' and 'Da Luo Spell' on him, but the one in front of him looked a little older, and even had a long gray beard, not the Fahai who made him feel worried and scared.

"Y-Hello!"

First, he relaxed his left hand holding the scabbard of the long sword a little, and then Li Bai explained:

"Old Zen Master."

"In the Lower Baggage...... Li Qinglian, is a scholar who came here to study, just came out of Cao County two days ago, lost the direction when passing by here, plus it was late, and the cold in the mountains was heavy, so I wanted to spend a night in Guibaosha, I don't know if it is convenient or not? ”

Originally, Li Bai wanted to declare his identity, but he was afraid that there would be a kind of communication between monks similar to a circle of friends or a certain group, which would lead to the exposure of his identity, so he made a move and said his other name.

After all, he is not lying, in history, he is surnamed Li Mingbai, the word is too white, and the name Qinglian is a layman, and now when he says this to the other party, it cannot be regarded as deceiving the other party.

"Amitabha!"

"This Li Shi is polite, if the donor wants to live, just come in and live, how can it be said that it is inconvenient or inconvenient?"

Hearing Li Bai's words, the old monk first glanced at the long sword in his hand, and then looked at the horse behind him, and found that he was actually alone After hurrying, the expression on his face couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and then soon, he smiled and pronounced the Buddha's name, slowly turned sideways to open the door and made a gesture to Li Bai to ask for the temple.

"Master Li, don't hide it!"

"Lao Qu was originally also a monk who traveled to Fang, and was not the host of this temple, but when he passed by here last year, he saw that the temple was well preserved but was idle and abandoned for some reason, and felt that it was a pity to be so abandoned, so he stayed here and served my Buddha day and night."

"There is only one old man in the temple......"

"Yes, if the donor wants to live, just come in, but the temple doesn't care, what the donor wants to eat, just go to the kitchen to fiddle, remember not to eat those wine, meat and meat in the temple, otherwise it will be bad to collide with the Buddha."

After leading Li Bai into the temple gate and closing the door again, the old monk walked in with Li Bai like this, and carefully admonished in that half-pleading commanding tone.

"Naturally!"

I don't think much of the other party doesn't let him eat meat when he opens his mouth, but thinking about the fact that the other party allows him to live in, and his attitude is quite friendly, plus this is indeed a temple, eating meat and drinking wine in other people's territory in front of other people's Buddhas, under normal circumstances, Li Bai really can't do it, so he took advantage of it.

"Old Zen master, please rest assured, Buddhism is important, some rules and precepts, and other things are naturally understood!"

Li Bai said very politely, because he could see it behind the other party, although the old monk in front of him did not have any demonic energy, but he also had some weirdness!

Because, the other party is too strong!

Looking at the other party's gray beard, judging from his age, his body shape should not be like this, so he always felt that something was not quite right with the other party, and it was likely that he was either a practitioner or an enlightened monk! Otherwise, in this wilderness, where would the other party dare to stay and live alone in this kind of abandoned ancient temple?

However, although Li Bai's heart turned back and forth, his face was silent, and he still honestly led the horse behind the other party, and did not forget to look at the temple silently.

Because it is only a two-entry courtyard, it is not very large, so enter from the gate and then walk through the shadow wall, bypass the outer courtyard and enter the second gate is the inner courtyard of the temple, in front of it is a large hall, the left and right are the cloisters and two rows of side rooms, plus the inverted room they just walked through, all of this temple is under Li Bai's eyes.

At the same time, Li Bai also found that although the temple and meditation room in this temple are not very spacious, they have been cleaned cleanly, and there are also many new traces of repair.

If it were replaced by Li Bai......

It would be good if he could ensure that the place where he lived would be clean and tidy, but other places would have long been dilapidated or covered with cobwebs, and where would he have time to take care of such a large second-entry temple?

"Master Li!"

"The kitchen and firewood room are on the east wing side, you can settle the horses and make a fire to make food by yourself, the one in the west wing is the old man's meditation room, the rest of the rooms are still empty, the donor can choose one to live in."

"Although there are no utensils in the room, it is better to be neat and clean......

"The old man still has the evening class to finish, so he retired first, if there is something that Master Li doesn't understand, you can go to the hall to find me."

After the introduction, the old monk was ready to flash.

"Ahh

"Good, good! The old Zen master please take care of himself, Xiaosheng knows what to do. ”

Seeing that the other party was leaving, and then seeing that the main hall was indeed lit up, Li Bai, who didn't want to delay the other party, hurriedly smiled and signaled that the other party could leave, anyway, this place is so big, there are only two rows of side rooms plus a big hall and an empty courtyard with a big stone tripod, he will definitely not go to the wrong place or get lost.

"Amitabha!"

After announcing the Buddha's name, the old monk glanced Li Bai up and down again, then didn't say anything more, nodded directly, turned around and walked towards the dimly lit hall not far behind him.

Soon, when Li Bai found a place to put the horse, there was a 'beautiful sound' of knocking on wooden fish and chanting scriptures in the main hall.
