Chapter 14: Temple in Distress

Soon it was the sixth day of the sixth month of June, and two days ago, Luluo sent someone to Pei's house to spread the word, saying that on the sixth day of the new year, Mrs. He would take Sister Mengluo and Shaoyu to the mountain to worship the Buddha and incense, and by the way, stay for a few more days. Shao Yu couldn't leave, and in the past few days, he has been taking inventory in the shop, and he has to pay monthly money, a bunch of things. But he couldn't put aside the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the pothos, Shao Yu thought about going to the mountains to live for a few days, and it was always good to relax, so he agreed.

Shao Yu didn't have to prepare anything, only brought a few clothes and things for her daughter's family, all the daily necessities Mrs. He was ready, and the maid and the maid went to more than a dozen, so Shao Yu only took Cui'er, and the group sat in a few carriages and rushed to the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, the carriage can not go up, so everyone can only walk up the steps, this mountain is not high, but it is famous for the thousands of Buddha statues with different expressions in the mountain, so this mountain is also called Buddha Head Mountain. Shao Yu went to it a few years ago, when his mother Qin was still there, and Shao Yu went to Fotou Mountain with Qin to incense, but that time he went to Guanyin Temple.

Mrs. He, Mrs. Xu's mother and daughter only walked to the third of the mountain road and shouted that they couldn't walk, especially the green pothos sat directly on the steps on the side and said that they wanted to rest, Mrs. He was also very tired, so she had to let a few maids and women with good feet carry the box up first, and then say hello to the abbot Master Huijue, and arrange a place to live.

Shao Yu didn't feel tired, this mountain is too low compared to Mount Tai, it's just a small thing, and it can only be barely regarded as a mountain bag. A group of people walked and stopped and finally arrived at the mountainside, the front suddenly opened up, a Bodhisattva Buddha statue of more than ten zhang high was erected on the huge round platform, only to see the Bodhisattva smiling, sitting on the lotus platform, looking down on all beings, majestic and solemn, let people see it and suddenly respect in their hearts, Mrs. He hurriedly folded her hands and recited a Buddha number in her mouth at the same time.

It was nearly noon when Mrs. He and others arrived at the top of the mountain, Lingyun Temple was located on the top of the mountain, at this time the abbot Master Huijue had been waiting at the gate of the temple for a long time, only to see that the master Huijue had white eyebrows, strong spirits, wise eyes and a kind of transcendent fairy wind bones.

Mrs. He reverently folded her hands and said, "The believer Xu family visited Master Huijue and disturbed the master's cultivation. ”

The master of Huijue recited the Buddha's name: "It's okay, the female donor, please." After speaking, he suddenly glanced at Pei Shaoyu, and his eyes flashed in an instant, which made Shaoyu feel excited and had goosebumps all over his body. By the time Shao Yu looked over again, Master Huijue had already left, as if the master's glance just now was just her illusion.

Master Huijing in the temple took Mrs. He and her party to a small courtyard behind the temple, the courtyard is also very clean and tidy, there are two loquat trees and two pomegranate trees planted in the courtyard, the fruits on the loquat trees have been almost all picked, only the top of the tree has a few small fruits, the pomegranate flowers bloom red and gorgeous, adding a bit of beautiful color to this quaint Zen courtyard.

The courtyard had been cleaned up by the maids who had arrived early, the bedding had been laid out, the tents had been hung up, and everything was neatly tied.

There are two things in this Lingyun Temple that are very famous, one is that the food in the temple is very good, and the other is that there is a hot spring in the temple, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, and can also cure diseases and save people. Therefore, the incense of this Lingyun Temple has always been very prosperous, and the pilgrims have always been in an endless stream. Opposite to this Lingyun Temple, there is also a Guanyin Temple, and the incense is also very strong. Especially after a while, it is the birthday of Guanyin Master, so this time Fotou Mountain is full of people every day, and it is very lively.

Mrs. He ate the temple meal at noon, took a nap, and went to the Buddhist hall to listen to the Buddhist scriptures. Shao Yu, Meng Luo and Lu Luo could go around, and the three of them put on their hats and went to the mountains to wander around under the guidance of a few maids.

The three of them swam the bamboo sea and the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave, and went to the Guanyin Temple, the Guanyin Temple and the Lingyun Temple opposite, but the walk is not close, along the way can always meet the bustling pilgrims who come to the Buddha Head Mountain to incense, the three of them wear hats and are protected by a few maids and women in the middle, but also very comfortable, the green pothos chirps all the way, talking non-stop, one of the mother-in-law almost bumped into someone when he went down the steps. I saw that the man was dressed in white, and he was holding a folding fan in his hand, but he was also a talent, and he hurriedly apologized to the mother-in-law who bumped into him, but the eyes that came over him were extremely uncomfortable, and there was no smile in this person's eyes, his eyes were cold, evil, and ruthless. Shao Yu held back his glance at this person, and found that there was a man in his forties behind him, unkempt, his eyes were always staring at Shao Yu and the three of them, and there was a sneer of disdain on the corner of his mouth.

After all, Shao Yu has lived two lives, and these two people are not good people at first glance, so they immediately became vigilant. A group of people went to the Guanyin Temple to incense, and walked around, Shao Yu was a little absent-minded, when he came out of the Guanyin Temple and went down the steps, Shao Yu inadvertently glanced around, and couldn't help but chill, the forty-year-old man stood against the tree under a tree not far away, looking here from time to time, with a lewd smile on his face.

Shao Yu immediately understood, their group was being targeted, she reached out and grabbed Cui'er, her hand trembling a little. Although Mrs. He brought a lot of subordinates, she was not worth mentioning in front of these gangsters. Shao Yu whispered: "Sister Mengluo, Sister Luluo, let's go back, the time to come out is not short, if you don't go back, Mrs. He will be in a hurry." ”

Meng Luo said: "Yes, if you don't go back, my mother will be in a hurry, okay, let's go back." ”

The pothos originally wanted to go shopping again, but when I saw that I said that I wanted to go back, I didn't dare to say anything, the hour was not early, I went back late, my mother started a fire, and the pothos was still a little afraid.

Shao Yu was in a hurry to leave when he had something in his heart, and soon Meng Luo and Lu Luo couldn't keep up.

Luluo said: "Sister Yueniang, you go slowly, we can't keep up, our legs hurt so much." ”

Shao Yu whispered: "Sister Luthos, I'm sorry, I'm a little anxious, let's go first." ”

Meng Luo smiled: "Then you hurry up, this person has three urgency, but he can't delay." ”

Shao Yu took Cui'er and said as she walked: "Cui'er, we seem to be being targeted, the other party is not good, let's quickly send a small servant down the mountain to inform my brother of them." Do you want to talk to Mrs. He later? ”

Cui'er said: "The girl is too worried, people come and go on this mountain, and the thieves are not so bold, just two disciples." It's best not to tell Mrs. He, it's just a girl's guess, in case it's just a false alarm, Mrs. He will inevitably say that we have more trouble. ”

Shao Yu said: "How is that good? I was very uneasy, the gaze of those two people looking at us was so poisonous that it made people shudder to think about it. ”

Cui'er said: "Don't worry, girl, I'll take care of this matter, I'll arrange it." ”

After dinner in the evening, Mrs. He took Sister Monroe and Shaoyu to the hot spring, the spring water was very warm, but not hot, it was very comfortable to lie in the water, and it felt that every pore was open, making people drowsy.

Lying on the bed in the temple at night, Shao Yu and Meng Luo sisters lived separately, but the room was next to each other, and both of them were very tired, and soon they both fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Shao Yu suddenly woke up, it was pitch black, the insects outside the door screamed, and suddenly Shao Yu heard a slight footstep outside the door, Cui'er was not in the house at this time, Shao Yu hurriedly put on a coat, tiptoed out of bed, and took out a dagger from under the pillow by the way.
