Chapter 237: Talking and Laughing
Luohan Temple, a thousand-year-old temple, was built in the Northern Song Dynasty, "Shuzhong Famous Places" contains: "Zhiping Temple...... There are arhats, two congenital caves, all ancient caves. "Across a thousand years, after several destructions, but again and again to stand up.
Mu Yuan stood in front of the inscription stele at the entrance of the temple gate, looking at the inscription about the Luohan Temple, and the crayfish and others had already disappeared into all corners of the temple.
After last night's battle, the team unanimously decided to spend the day exploring several of the city's top attractions to unwind from a long-standing stress. After swimming along the river and visiting the ancient town, Luohan Temple was the first destination in the afternoon. The incense in the temple is very prosperous, and there are tourists and pilgrims who come and go, and crayfish and others buy incense candles and put them in a pile to light incense. Especially Zheng Bu, a long incense stick in his hand is more than a meter long, thicker than a child's arm, held in front of the candle and lit it for a long time, his arm is sore, but he still didn't light the long incense.
"Brother Muyuan, let's go shopping!" Long Ling'er was not interested in burning incense and worshipping the Buddha, so she picked up Mu Yuan and walked to a quiet garden.
The two of them walked through one round arch after another, and wandered boredly in the small garden, which was already very few visitors compared to the large hall outside. When it comes to gardens, there are no flowers in bloom, all of them are holly and other plants, but these potted plants and trees are very well kept, especially a small courtyard paved with square bricks.
These bricks are like a chessboard of chess, the square bricks are laid diagonally diagonally, and the empty part in the middle is covered with grass, the stone bricks are like jade, and the green grass is like felt, which looks both new and full of interest.
Long Ling'er obviously liked it very much, with her arms outstretched, her skirts fluttering, like a little girl hopscotch, jumping around on the stone bricks, and her mouth kept muttering, as if she was counting something. When Mu Yuan saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, when she was alone with this little witch, she seemed to have restrained a lot and became cute.
As he passed by another arch, he heard a laugh coming from inside, and the laughter was familiar, and he looked through the crack in the door, and saw three old men sitting at a stone table chatting comfortably.
"Master!" Long Ling'er's eyes were even better, she had already recognized two of them, and before she could finish speaking, she had already pushed the door and walked in.
Sitting at the stone table were the two masters of Nan Xuan and Bei Yi, while the other was an old man of about sixty years old, not very tall, wearing a gray homespun coat, the top of his head was bare, the few hairs on his temples were already gray, and he had a white beard more than a foot long on his chin, giving people a sense of informality, purity and casualness.
"These two are the little friends you just mentioned!" The old man asked with a smile.
"Muyuan, Ling'er, come here!" Yi Youdao beckoned, "I've seen the Suichen Layman!" ”
"The boy has seen the layman!" Mu Yuan stepped forward, first made a bow, and then bowed deeply, and performed a junior salute.
"The layman didn't dare to be, that was just a joke back then!" The old man waved his hand, "My original name is Tan Xiaosheng!" ”
"Layman? Layman should be the name of a believer at home! Long Ling'er fiddled with the scissors used to prune the branches and leaves on the stone table with great interest, and asked curiously, "How can there still be a Taoist priest living in this temple?" ”
"Hehe, that's a pseudonym that I traveled abroad when I was young, just for convenience, don't take it seriously, girl!" Tan Xiaosheng said with a smile, "Now I am a handyman in a temple, sweeping the floor, serving flowers and plants, and begging for a bite to eat from the temple!" ”
Although Tan Xiaosheng's words were very polite, Mu Yuan would not believe these humble words, he could let Nan Xuan and North Yi come to visit, he was definitely not an ordinary person, but what was not ordinary, Mu Yuan couldn't see it.
"Muyuan, how can you have time to come out and play? Don't you need to prepare for war? I've heard that the finals are going to be held next weekend! Xuan asked unreasonably.
"The big stars are all on strike, it's useless for us to be anxious!" Long Ling'er put down the scissors and fiddled with the shower again.
"Little girl, I think you are in the chest!" Yi Youdao said with a smile, "Last night's dance with butterflies was very exciting, I guess you made a lot of effort out of it!" ”
"I just helped breed butterflies, and the rest was learned by Xiaohe Xian herself!"
"The devil believes it!" Xuan Wuli picked up the teacup and took a sip, "If that thing can be learned by everyone, you don't have to worry about being caught all day long, right?" ”
"Oh, is this girl ......" Tan Xiaosheng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but glance at Long Ling'er a few times.
"That's right!" Yi Youdao nodded.
"Little girl, I heard that you have made another big accident and offended people who shouldn't be offended!" Xuan Wuli said expressionlessly, "I advise you to spend more time studying the technique, otherwise when others make a comeback, be careful that you can't eat and walk around!" ”
"I'm not afraid!" Long Ling'er pursed her lips, "Anyway, there is Brother Muyuan in the way!" ”
"What if he can't resist it?" Yi Youdao asked with a smile.
"Then I'll run!" Long Ling'er's fingers trembled, and she made a gesture of slipping away, "Hide in the deep mountains and old forests, and see what he can do with me!" ”
"You're really wise and brave!" Xuan sneered unreasonably.
"Hee-hee, I think so too!" Long Ling'er was not embarrassed at all, and actually accepted it all.
"Teacher, I want to ask a question, can you tell me about demon beasts?" Makihara asked, "Like a ghoul monster!" ”
"The ghoul monster you are talking about should not be a corpse eater, but a demon eater!" Tan Xiaosheng interjected, "It's the anger and grievance of sucking corpses or things like that!" ”
"That's right!" Xuan Wuli nodded, "This kind of demon beast does not refer to a specific animal, but refers to it in general, such as ghouls, ghoul flowers, etc., can be classified into this category!" ”
"Ghoul flowers?" Makihara suddenly remembered a plant.
In Africa, there is a plant called the ghoul flower, which can grow in extremely arid and barren places, this flower has no leaves and no roots, and looks like a rock, but there is a pink slit in the middle, which looks very strange. The flower emits a corpse stench that attracts dung beetles and corpse-eating beetles, which then trap them until they die, surviving by absorbing nutrients from the beetle's corpse.
"But you thought of the corpse incense konjac?" Talking and laughing.
"No, I came up with a plant called the Ghoul Flower!" Mu Yuan shook his head, "But what is the corpse incense konjac?" ”
"There is one of the largest flowers in the world now, and when it blooms, it emits a rotting smell that attracts flies and insects to pollen it! But it's just a mutant species, whose ancestors have been extinct for thousands of years. "And the real corpse incense konjac is also known as the devil's flower, it has a bewitching color and a strange fragrance, which can create one illusion after another, causing people to die." Moreover, this flower can grow in ancient tombs, in addition to keeping the corpse from decaying, it can also make the corpse fragrant. ”
Long Ling'er opened her mouth in surprise, this expression showed that it was the first time she had heard of this plant.
"Muyuan, you shouldn't ask about this for no reason, did you get any news?" Yi Youdao asked.
"Hmm!" Makihara nodded, "I got a message from a scout and wanted to check it out after the game, but there are rumors that there are ghouls there!" ”
"Can you tell us the exact address?" Talking and laughing.
Mu Yuan hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that the two teachers didn't mean to cover up, he said directly: "Ninghe County, Zhaojia Village!" ”
Tan Xiaosheng stared and thought for a while, and suddenly spit out a few words leisurely: "It turned out to be that place!" ”
"You've heard of this place?" Long Ling'er asked curiously.
"Hmm!" Tan Xiaosheng nodded, "I also went there once when I was young, and it was the place of nine burials, which is somewhat interesting!" ”
