The carriage went all the way forward, and after walking for almost an hour, Mu Ningxuan heard that outside the carriage, the voices of people were getting louder and louder, mixed with some shouting from time to time, very lively, and there was a faint smell of sandalwood permeating into the car, Mu Ningxuan knew that he had arrived at Daxiangguo Temple.
Mu Ningxuan and Mu Yuchen got out of the carriage together, went to the main hall to burn incense first, and then played.
As soon as she walked to the main hall and didn't enter, Mu Ningxuan was suddenly grabbed by a woman who trotted out of the main hall and was dressed in ordinary clothes, and the woman patted Mu Ningxuan's hand and said gently: "You must do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and do more good deeds." That's all, and then he left.
By the time Mu Ningxuan came to her senses, the woman had long since disappeared.
Mu Ningxuan hurriedly called Mu Yuchen, who had already entered the main hall: "Big brother, have you seen the woman who just held my hand?" ”
"No, who took your hand?" Mu Yuchen was puzzled.
Mu Ningxuan turned her head and asked the maid Xiaofu beside her: "Xiaofu, have you seen it?" “
Xiaofu also shook her head: "No, county lord, you just stopped suddenly, and the slave didn't see anyone pulling the county lord's hand." ”
Could it be that there is a hallucination? Mu Ningxuan suddenly felt that her whole body was cold.
Seeing that Mu Ningxuan's face was a little tired, Mu Yuchen said with concern: "Sister, what's wrong?" What's wrong with it? ”
"No, it may be that I didn't sleep well last night, and my eldest brother hasn't rested for two days, so let's go back early after the incense." Mu Ningxuan said softly.
Mu Yuchen nodded and responded, "Okay." ”
Stepping over the threshold of the main hall, Mu Ningxuan knelt on the futon, clasped her hands together, and kowtowed a few times sincerely.
As soon as she looked up, she saw a little novice standing next to her and saluted her, saying, "Donor, our abbot has an invite." ”
"Abbot?" Mu Ningxuan glanced at her eldest brother Mu Yuchen, and Mu Yuchen looked at her puzzled.
Mu Ningxuan said in her heart: It seems that it is not a hallucination to meet the woman just now, maybe the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple is a master of Taoism, and meeting her may be able to help her solve her doubts.
"Big brother, wait for me a while, I'll come when I go." Mu Ningxuan stood up, ready to follow Xiao Shami to meet the abbot.
Mu Yuchen immediately stopped in front of Mu Ningxuan and said vigilantly: "Wait, why are you abbots looking for her?" ”
"Amitabha, donor, the abbot master just asked the little monk to come and look for this girl to see her in the past, but he didn't point out anything."
"I'm going with me too." Mu Yuchen was not worried, and Mu Ningxuan went alone.
"I'm sorry, donor, the abbot only sees the destined person, and no one else is seen, I hope the donor will forgive me." Xiao Shami said tactfully.
Seeing that Mu Yuchen seemed to be angry, Mu Ningxuan hurriedly relieved the siege and said: "Big brother, it's okay, the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple will not embarrass me as a girl who has no power to restrain a chicken, Xu really feels fate, so I just want to meet." ”
"Sister, you must be careful, and in case of danger, you must shout for help." Mu Yuchen whispered in Mu Ningxuan's ear.
"Hmmm! Xuan'er got it. ”
