Chapter 15 Xiangguo Frost Bell
Hearing Chunting's sudden shout, Yihe and I couldn't help but be shocked.
From the content of his mouth, we can clearly hear that it seems that he has noticed that someone is silently watching us, and it is not difficult to find from the name of this person from Chunting that this person should be an elder in the Great Xiangguo Temple.
Is this so-called elder the one who called us here, and is this person a friend or foe with us?
Just as we were thinking wildly, there was a hearty laugh from the direction of Chunting's gaze, and after the laughter, there was a slightly old voice.
"Hahaha, the Spring Pavilion donor is really as extraordinary as the rumors, it seems that the old man is abrupt."
After this voice reached our ears, there was another sound of low, powerful footsteps from this direction, and it seemed that this person had chosen to come out to meet us.
Soon, a vague figure appeared in our vision, and as the figure slowly approached, we could finally make out the specific appearance of this person.
This man has a white beard and white eyebrows, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, although he looks very old, but his eyes are extremely bright, from which he shows a wise light, and at the same time his steps are steady, not at all like an old man of this age.
He was wearing a coarse cloth monk's robe, with a string of rubbed translucent Buddha beads around his neck, and tawny monk shoes and cloud socks at his feet.
When he walked about three meters in front of us, he stopped, folded his hands and whispered the Buddha's name to us.
"Amitabha."
"The donor of the Spring Pavilion is really as rumored, his talent and agility are not like mortals, and this time the temptation of you is stern and abrupt."
Strict-hearted?
Hearing the person's self-proclaim, I looked at Yi He and I with a shocked face.
As we all know, now the abbot of the Great Xiangguo Temple is a senior monk of the heart of the word generation, if the person in front of us is really strict, then it is not a virtuous person of the same age as the abbot?
Chunting seemed to have expected this, and when our faces were full of shock, he took a light step forward, and stretched out his hand to return the salute to this person with a strict heart for the law, and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
"The master doesn't have to be like this, speaking of which, this time the three of us are abrupt first, and we shouldn't visit the Great Xiangguo Temple at night, but we do have a reason to come here, and I hope the master will forgive the sins."
"The Spring Pavilion donor doesn't have to be like this."
This strict-hearted old monk was kind and kind-eyed, and nodded slightly at what Chunting said, as if he didn't mind us being so reckless.
"I know very well why the three donors came, and I just wanted to take the opportunity to observe them and see if the donors were as rumored.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two people was extremely harmonious, I finally couldn't help the curiosity in my heart, looked at the two and asked.
"Chunting, Master Xinyan, don't be polite to the two of you, I'm still confused now, I don't know what is going on here, I don't know if you can guide me through the maze?"
Hearing my confusion, Chunting looked at Xinyan and said with a chuckle.
"Master Xinyan, I just guessed that someone was secretly observing us, but I don't know your true intentions, I wonder if you can solve our confusion?"
"Amitabha."
Xin Yan called the Buddha again, and a kind smile appeared on his face.
"Why not, it's just that the poor monk is still a little curious in his heart, I don't know how the Spring Pavilion donor learned that I was watching you in secret?"
"It's simple."
Chunting smiled confidently, his tone full of belief in his own judgment.
"That is the person who called us here, may have some kind of special relationship with the Great Xiangguo Temple, it is under his instructions that the Great Xiangguo Temple will be defenseless against us, and it is precisely under his secret instruction that the person who should be with this guardian chose to watch us from the sidelines."
Speaking of which, Chunting
The words in his mouth are as mysterious as tongue twisters.
"This second possibility is a bit bizarre to say, but after all the possibilities are eliminated, even if the rest of the possibilities are more bizarre, I can only think that this is the only possibility."
"Han Chuan, don't you think there's something wrong, this Great Xiangguo Temple is a little unreasonable to be quiet at the moment."
"Unconscionable?"
After hearing Chunting's question, I frowned and told him my opinion.
"Chunting, now is the dead of night, I want to come to the temple where the monks are resting, naturally it will not be as noisy as the day, isn't that right?"
"After you say that, I think it's a little quiet here."
Yi He, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke at this time, he did not agree with my statement, but echoed Chunting's words just now.
"This Great Xiangguo Temple has always been known as the royal temple, starting from the Northern Qi Dynasty, inherited for thousands of years until today, thinking that there must be countless treasures and secrets hidden in it."
"In that case, there is no way that the protection work here is so careless, and we have been here for a long time and have not seen any of the guards, which is the biggest anomaly."
"What Yi He said is right."
Chun Ting nodded after hearing what Yi He said, and seemed to agree with his statement.
"We didn't hide it at all on this trip, don't say that this is a great Xiangguo Temple full of secrets, even if you go to any ordinary family, you should have woken up and asked for such a long time, and no one here came to stop it, this is a huge problem."
"And I will take you to this Guanyin Bodhisattva statue known as the treasure of the temple, just to prove my guess, since this statue is called the treasure of the temple, it will naturally be strictly protected, and will never be approached at will, if we can get here, then there are only two possibilities."
"The first possibility is that the mysterious man is the enemy, he has already carried out the killing in this Great Xiangguo Temple, and the monks in the temple have no intention of protecting this so-called treasure of the temple."
"But although it is eerily quiet in this Great Xiangguo Temple, I don't feel the smell of bloody killing, and this first possibility has been ruled out by me."
What Chunting said was reasonable, so I couldn't help but choose to believe it, and I couldn't help but ask.
"Chunting, since the first one may have been ruled out by you, what is the second one in your mouth?"
A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Chunting's face, and he quietly scanned the surroundings, finally focusing his gaze on one place, and at the same time shouted loudly in his mouth.
"Elder, this second possibility, why don't you explain it yourself?"
"What Yi He said is right."
Chun Ting nodded after hearing what Yi He said, and seemed to agree with his statement.
