Dapu Temple is located in the eastern suburbs of Ziyang City, and it is about an hour's drive from Zhaofu to Dapu Temple.

Early in the morning, Sanniang and Wang Jing went to Zhao's mansion, and after seeing Liu's family, they went out of the house with Shen Yue'e to Dapu Temple. As soon as he got into the carriage, he saw Zhao Fan chasing after him, saying that he would follow him to pray for Liu's blessing.

So the four of them went to the temple together.

Dapu Temple is said to be very effective incense, so the people who come to offer incense every day do not know how many, and it is even more crowded on the 15th birthday of the Buddha.

It's just that today, when Sanniang and the others arrived in front of the mountain gate of Dapu Temple, they saw that the gate of the courtyard was full of birds.

"Miss, didn't you say that the incense here is very vigorous?" Bai Ying asked Sanniang.

"Last time, when my mother and I came, because it was the first day of the new year, the carriage couldn't get in, so I left the carriage at the farmer's house under the mountain and walked up." Shen Yue'e frowned.

"The slave goes up and asks." Bai Zhi said.

Sanniang nodded, Bai Zhi got out of the carriage, and Sanniang and the others stayed in the carriage and waited.

After a while, Bai Zhi came back out of breath.

"Miss, Dapu Temple is closed today, saying that there are nobles in the temple today, and I am afraid that I will be disturbed by pilgrims."

"Didn't you say that all beings are equal in the eyes of the Buddha? It turns out that the Buddha also stepped on the high and low. Shen Yue'e sneered.

"Did you say who came to the temple today?" Sanniang ignored Shen Yue'e's cynicism.

"The little monk guarding the door didn't say." Bai Zhi shook her head and said.

"Miss, are we going to turn around?" Bai Ying asked.

"Life is also divided into high and low! Usually, people are turned away even to pray for the sick. Shen Yue'e said in a deep voice, but she didn't insist on breaking through.

The people who can make Dapu Temple close their doors are either rich or expensive, Sanniang thinks that more things are better than less, or come back tomorrow. Since there are some things that cannot be changed, then abide by them, and cynicism is useless.

"Go to my cousin and brother's carriage and talk. We'll come back tomorrow. Sanniang instructed Bai Zhidao.

Bai Zhi was receiving the order to go, but heard a slightly immature voice outside: "The one sitting in the car is the benefactor of the Qingcheng Wang family?" ”

"We are from the Qingcheng royal family." Bai Zhi replied.

The person who asked was a seven or eight-year-old monk, who looked very pleasant. After listening to Bai Zhi's answer, he said, "Please invite the donor and the little monk into the temple." ”

"Didn't you say that your temple was closed today?" Bai Zhihu asked suspiciously.

The little monk nodded humbly: "Originally, it was a closed door, but the nobles inside heard that it was someone from the Wang family who came, so they asked the little monk to invite the donors in." ”

Sanniang listened in the car and raised her eyebrows. Could this noble man still have a relationship with the Wang family?

"Little master. I don't know if the name of the noble person in it can be told? It is also good for my master to go to the meeting, so as not to be rude. Bai Zhi smiled and said to the little monk.

The little monk reached out and touched his bright and clear bald head. The facial features were crowded together.

"The donor said, you can go to the temple to offer incense, and there is no need to pay a visit."

"Let the coachman drive the car in." Sanniang commanded in the car.

Those who should know will always know, and if people don't want people to know, it's better not to know. Anyway, they're just here to make incense.

Bai Zhi answered outside the car, and without taking the words of the little monk, he commanded the carriage to stop at the gate of the temple.

This is the second time that Sanniang has entered the temple after coming here, and Dapu Temple is said to be an ancient temple. It can be seen from the fact that it still maintains the form of building a tower in the middle and a temple around it. In general temples, the hall is only the building, and the tower is moved outside the temple.

"Huh? How can there be a dragon king hall? Bai Ying pointed to a temple in front of him and said in surprise.

Buddhist monasteries generally do not worship the dragon king.

A soft, magnetic voice said, "Legend has it that this area is very hot in the early days of summer, and the nearby fields will die. When Manjushri found out, he borrowed a cool stone from the dragon king, and from then on, the place was in good weather. It's just that this cool stone is the treasure of Shi Yun Buyu, the son of the dragon king, and he found that the treasure was taken away by Manjushri and chased it here after a heavy rainstorm, and he wanted to get back the cool stone. In the end, he was subdued by Manjushri and locked up on the pagoda, and from then on, the little dragon king was in charge of cultivating clouds and sowing rain in the vicinity. In order to thank him, the people in the vicinity built the Dragon King Temple in this temple. Opposite the Dragon King Temple is a stage. Because this little dragon king likes to watch plays, it was built by people to please him. ”

Sanniang and the others looked at the people who were slowly walking from the stage, and couldn't help but be stunned.

This person was dressed in a white robe of broad white cloth, which was loosely tied to his body, and when he looked closely, he actually looked like a flower. Jade is muscle, black as ink, and the body is tingting. The best thing to look at is the pair of eyes, sparkling, looking forward to the brilliance, as if they can seduce the soul when they look at the future.

Sanniang felt that this person was a little familiar, but if she had seen such an outstanding appearance, she would definitely remember it, how could she not be impressed.

Just then, a somewhat cynical voice came from behind him.

"Lan Qiu, I knew you were here to watch the stage, we really have a heart. Hey? The royal boy? Miss Wang San? ”

Sanniang didn't have to look back to know who it was when she heard this voice, and sure enough, the people who came also recognized them.

Sanniang turned to the visitor and gave a slight blessing: "Shizi." ”

She also knows who this man in white is, no wonder she feels familiar, it turns out to be the head of the Xiangyun class, Chu Lanqiu, who sang Xiao Dan in the play yesterday.

Xuanyun's eyes slipped around Sanniang, and then looked at Shen Yue'e and Yingge, smiling eyebrows.

"It's fate, third miss, why don't you enjoy the scenery of this temple with this son?"

Sanniang said with a smile: "I'm afraid I'm going to live up to the good intentions of the son, Sanniang and my brother came to the temple today to pray for their seriously ill grandmother." ”

Xuanyun looked regretful when he heard this: "Since this is the case, I'm afraid you are not in the mood to play." ”

Sanniang nodded: "Shizi, please, let's go to the front hall first." ”

Hearing this, Xuan Yun shook the folding fan in his hand, turned sideways and smiled: "Please." ”

Sanniang nodded at Chu Lanqiu and walked towards the main hall.

"It turns out that the nobleman in the temple is the prince?" Bai Zhi said softly.

"Probably not, he was surprised when he first saw us." Bai Ying shook his head.

Sanniang and others worshiped the Bodhisattvas in each hall and donated one hundred taels of silver to the temple for sesame oil.

"Let's go back early today." On weekdays, it is inevitable to disturb a meal when you come to the temple to burn incense, but today there is a noble person in this temple, and Sanniang doesn't want to cause trouble, so she wants to go back after burning the incense.

"I haven't drunk a sip of water all the way, so even if I want to leave, I have to ask the temple for a bowl of water to drink, right?" Shen Yue'e fanned the wind with a handkerchief and frowned.

Sanniang saw that although Wang Jing and Zhao Fan didn't say anything, they were sweating profusely after bowing in a circle, and after thinking about it, she said to a monk on the side: "Master, is there a place for people to rest near here?" We want to ask for a cup of tea. ”

When the monk heard this, he hurriedly said: "The side courtyard in the back can rest, and the donors will come with the little monk." ”

Sanniang and the others followed the monk through the main hall and arrived at a small side hall behind that was used for people to rest on weekdays.

"Donors, please wait, the little monk will let someone bring tea." After the monk led the people, he went out.

"Where's Yue?" Sanniang looked around and found that Shen Yue'e was nowhere to be seen.

"Miss Biao said that she was going to be complimentary, so she just let the little girl next to her follow her and went to the clean room in the back." Yingge walked to Sanniang's side and said.

Sanniang frowned when she heard this.

"Or the slave and maid will look for it." Yingge saw Sanniang's expression, thought for a while, and said, "This temple is very big, I'm afraid that Miss Biao will accidentally get lost." ”

Sanniang nodded when she heard this: "You go, tell her that we will rest for a while and go back immediately." Don't wander around the temple anymore. ”

Yingge led the order and retreated.

Bai Ying pushed the window open, wanting to make the room cooler.

"Empty news! You just say what do you want to do before you give me Xiao Jiu! ”

Sanniang was stunned when she heard this voice, this is ......

"Lord Wang, that nine-colored bird is not a thing of this temple."

"I know that Xiao Jiu was brought by an old monk from the southwest who came to the temple to preach, isn't he not in the temple now? Since Xiao Jiu eats what you drink in your temple and drinks in your temple, it will naturally be under your control. You gave him to me, and when the old monk came back, you told him that Xiao Jiu had flown away because of his homesickness. ”

"Lord Wang, the monks don't speak."

"Shhh I said, why don't you, a monk, get oil and salt? You said that Xiao Jiu has a Buddha fate, I have lived in this temple for Xiao Jiu for so many days, and I have done so many good deeds for the pilgrims who come to the temple to burn incense, why did I also get some Buddha gas? It's also related to the Buddha, right? Since Xiao Jiu and I are both destined for the Buddha, then I am also destined for Xiao Jiu, right? You've blocked our fate all your life, isn't it too unkind? ”

……

"Miss, it's the old lady." Bai Ying looked back in shock.

Sanniang rubbed the corners of her forehead, and suddenly felt a little pain in her head.

Sanniang called Wang Jing, who was resting next door, and when she got out of the side courtyard, she saw the old lady Wang who was holding the presiding officer of Dapu Temple dancing.

"Grandfather." Sanniang and Wang Jing bowed to Mrs. Wang.

Wang Hong was stunned when he heard this, and poked his head out of Kongwen's shoulder to see Sanniang and Wang Jing.

"Fifth brother, three girls?" Wang Hong's eyes lit up, and he pointed to Chaokong and said, "Look at it, look at it, isn't it my good deed that they are here?" The old lady of the Zhao family wants to see them sick, and her youngest daughter came to the temple to ask for the Bodhisattva, isn't it the grandfather that I helped her for the Bodhisattva? ”

“……”

Sanniang finally knew why she and Wang Jing came to Yanzhou.

She really didn't expect this reason.

"Heh, you old pimp is bothering the master again from this king. Didn't you say fair competition? A leisurely voice came from the side of the road.

Sanniang turned her head and saw a handsome man who looked to be about thirty years old, wearing a white four-clawed python robe, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

And behind him, there was a handsome and cold figure dressed in black. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
