Chapter 249: Slaughtering Guests
Man'in Nunnery is even more magnificent than I imagined, but originally I thought that places like temples and nunnery should be solemn and solemn, giving people a sense of simplicity and detachment.
However, the first feeling I had was luxury.
Whether it is the threshold with intricate carvings at the entrance of Wanyin Nunnery, or the huge release pond in the hermitage, and the gold-inlaid and incense-filled tripod, they all give me the feeling that this is not a place of pure cultivation.
And the idols here are all the same, all of gold, and, the old woman tells us, they are not gilded, but made of pure gold.
The statue of a god is at least a dozen feet high, this is gilded, it is actually pure gold, how much gold does it cost to build?
Just as we were looking at the statue in the hall, a little nun came up to us.
The old woman should be very familiar with her, and immediately stepped forward to fold her hands and greet her.
This little nun is only fifteen or sixteen years old, with round cheeks, which is somewhat similar to Mei'er.
I heard the old woman call her Miaoyun, and after a few words of greeting with her, my mother-in-law began to burn incense.
Miaoyun walked over to me and Mei'er again, leaned over slightly at us, and asked, "Second donor, are you here to burn incense?" Or are you here to ask for a signature? ”
"We're here to burn incense." After I finished speaking, I pretended to be uneasy: "However, I heard that you are suppressing evil demons in the Wanyin Nunnery? ”
Miaoyun nodded without hesitation, and pointed to the back of the nunnery, saying that more than ten years ago, a big demon who did evil was suppressed there by their master, Master Huijue.
"I see?" I thought to myself, there is really an evil demon here, so I will take the Stygian North Lin over tonight.
"Mei'er, let's go." I thought about it, so I lit all the incense I brought, inserted it into the incense ding, and then prepared to leave with Mei'er.
As a result, it was this time to turn around, and Mei'er was gone.
I looked around and found that Mei'er had followed the wonderful cloud into the hall, kneeling on the futon in front of a statue of Guanyin, shaking the stick holder in her hand, ready to ask for a lot.
"Mei'er?" I called her in a low voice, and Miaoyun immediately shook her head at me.
And, walking towards me.
"Don't bother this donor, you need to be sincere when asking for a signature." She said to me with a serious face, and I could only smile bitterly and nod at her, but my eyes still stayed on Mei'er.
Mei'er shook the stick holder for a long time before a stick fell out of it, and she picked up the stick and asked Miaoyun to solve it for her.
Miaoyun shook her head, saying that this sign was all undone by her master, and she could let her senior sister take Mei'er to the untie hall.
As for me, I'll have to wait here for a while.
"Mei'er, go and come back quickly!" I told Mei'er, because we have to go back to the inn as soon as it gets dark.
"This benefactor can come to our building and have some fasting food." Miaoyun said with a smile at me.
I shook my head: "Thank you, little master, I'm not hungry." ”
"It's also good to use some refreshments, Master has always been careful to unsign." Miaoyun persuaded, and the meaning of the words was to tell me that Mei'er really couldn't come back for a while.
"Take her out, and we'll lead her to the building to find you." Seeing that I hesitated, Miaoyun added.
"Okay, then." I could only nod my head, and this wonderful cloud led me to their building,
There was a smell of food in the building, and it was already evening, and many pilgrims were eating fasting.
As soon as I had a pot of tea, I sat down at a table near the door and began to drink it.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
The sound of those diners chewing kept coming to my ears.
I looked at them sideways and found that they were eating very deliciously, and when they ate, they were all gobbling up.
However, it is just some vegetarian cabbage, vegetarian glutinous rice balls and the like, presumably these pilgrims are used to eating big fish and meat, and occasionally eat such a meal of clear soup with little water, but they think it is very delicious.
"Gollum!" And I smelled the smell of those dishes, and I started to get hungry.
Today, I've only eaten a few pastries and a pot of tea.
After thinking about it for a while, I also asked for three vegetarian dishes and two bowls of rice.
Originally, I wanted to wait for Mei'er to come over, and I happened to eat together, but after waiting for two teas, the food was going to be cold, and I didn't see Mei'er coming, so I had to eat these meals alone.
This vegetarian dish is fragrant in the mouth, obviously it is just a vegetarian dish, but when I eat it in my mouth, it has an indescribable fragrance.
Is it "meaty"? I stretched out my chopsticks and played with the vegetable leaves in the chopsticks, probably not, it was just cabbage.
However, it is also great to be able to make the dish meaty, and perhaps this is the reason why the business of this restaurant is so good.
I finished the vegetarian food and went to settle the money.
However, as soon as the other party spoke, it startled me.
"Twenty taels of silver!" I froze in place, remembering what I had just eaten.
How many vegetable leaves, twenty taels of silver? This Lent building is inevitably too dark.
"Little Master, did you miscalculate?" I stared at the little nun in the robes and asked.
"Donor, these silver coins will be used as sesame oil money to worship the gods and Buddhas." The little master smiled kindly at me.
"Huh?" In this way, even if you are sesame oil money, you can't steal customers like this?
"Little girl, settle the money quickly! Those who pick and search for gods and Buddhas will surely be haunted by bad luck in the future. Behind him, a few pilgrims had already finished eating and had come to settle the bill.
They don't seem to be surprised by such an expensive price.
I looked at the little master and the pilgrims behind me, and asked with a calm face, "Little master, I just want to ask twenty taels of li, how much is paid for this food?" ”
"Donor, twenty taels!" She was still smiling.
"Oh, such an expensive price, isn't there another mystery among these vegetable leaves? Are there any expensive ingredients added? "I stared at her, it's okay to add sesame oil money, but this stealer is really hateful.
"I'm going to take a look in your back kitchen." I stared at the little master in front of me with a resolute attitude.
"Eh, where did such a come from, actually making noise in this place of cultivation?" The pilgrims began to point fingers at me.
I didn't back down at all, these coins were all earned by Shen Beilin, and since he handed them over to me, then I had to plan my expenses well.
"This benefactor's fasting money is free!" An extremely deep voice came.
Before I could turn around, I saw the pilgrims hanging their heads, clasping their hands together, and calling out "Master Huijue".
I looked sideways and saw a nun, but I don't know why, looking at her face, I inexplicably felt that something was strange, in short, this face did not have the slightest compassion, her eyes were still full of unspeakable weirdness.
