Chapter 16: Enlightened Cutie

And Mu Lingkong never expected that at the moment before departure, Meng Huai'an would actually come over.

At that time, she was sitting at the table, watching Dongxue and Qingli busily count her salutes, she took a cleaned pear from the table, and then "Kazi" took a bite, and a person walked in at the door, and when she looked up, it was actually Prime Minister Meng Huai'an.

Meng Huai'an first looked at Dongxue and Qingli, then turned his head and asked her, "Have you counted all the things you want to bring?" ”

Mu Lingkong shouted "Father" first, and then said, "Dongxue and Qingli are all packed!" ”

Meng Huai'an looked at her and smiled, "You used to call me daddy, but now how can you get angry." ”

Mu Lingkong's expression remained unchanged, "Father should have heard that his daughter has lost her memory and has forgotten many things!" ”

Meng Huai'an looked at her carefully, nodded again, and then said, "Lingyin Temple is on the mountain, not as good as us, remember to bring more warm clothes." If I hadn't overheard his words before, I would have been like a loving father just by listening to them.

Mu Lingkong endured the discomfort, nodded one after another, and Meng Huaian said a few more words before leaving.

Lingyin Temple is on Lingyin Mountain south of Chasing Cloud City, and it takes four or five days to reach Lingyin Town at the foot of Lingyin Mountain. The town is backed by famous mountains and temples, so although the town is small, it has all kinds of organs, and there are many pilgrims and tourists.

Mu Lingkong and Meng Ruyue had been bumping in the carriage for so long that they couldn't sit still, so they said hello to the old lady, took a few maids, and walked along the only stone road in the town.

The stone road is on the central axis of Lingyin Town, and on both sides are inns and restaurants built along the stone road, and all kinds of signs are hung on the side of the road to face the wind.

Under the signs, there are merchants selling along the street, rouge gouache, hairpin ring jewelry, everything. They only glanced at these things, and were more interested in the intricately crafted knick-knacks, such as the clay dolls that came to life in front of them now.

Mu Lingkong stared at a little fat pig inserted in the haystack, and carefully poked the fat pig's belly, "It's so good!" ”

The boss sitting behind the shelf stroked his gray beard, "Little girl, if you like it, buy one, I'm also good at pinching face portraits!" ”

"Really?" Meng Ruyue raised her head, "Then you can pinch one of each of our sisters, there is a reward for pinching it!" ”

"Hey," the boss replied, digging out a lump of clay from the barrel next to the pestle, and kneading it with his fingers. After only a while, you can clearly see the shape of the person's face, followed by the hairstyle, body shape, and finally the facial features outlined with bamboo strips, which are really lifelike.

Meng Ruyue gave the boss a piece of silver as she said, and the two of them happily walked back with clay in their hands.

The group rested in Lingyin Town for a day, and the next day they went up to Lingyin Mountain.

Lingyin Mountain, as a famous mountain in Nanyue Country, is a strange mountain with beautiful scenery. Along the way, there are streams gushing from mountain streams, red maple forests along the way, and the occasional mischievous sika deer can be seen flashing through the trees.

Mu Lingkong and Meng Ruyue were crowded by the carriage window, only to feel that there was a picturesque scenery as far as the eye could see.

Lingyin Temple was built on the top of the mountain, and in the evening, the group arrived at Lingyin Temple, and there was already a small novice waiting at the door, welcoming everyone into the temple.

The old lady has her own small courtyard because she has been cultivating here all the year round, and Mu Lingkong and they suddenly came, so they could only sleep in the guest room specially prepared for female pilgrims in the temple. Fortunately, although the rooms are simple, they are clean and tidy, and there is a touch of sandalwood in the room, which is also comfortable.

After sitting in the carriage all day, Mu Lingkong was exhausted, and after eating the vegetarian food provided by the monastery, she went to bed early in the sandalwood.

The next day, she rarely woke up early in the morning, and when she opened the door, Dongxue and Qingli, who were sleeping next door, had not yet gotten up. She stretched out in the yard, breathing in the fresh air of the mountains with the fragrance of plants and trees, and the whole person felt relaxed and happy.

She didn't wake up Dongxue and them, she simply tied her hair together, tied it into a braid, threw it diagonally on her shoulders, and wore a plain smoke skirt to go to the temple.

At this time, I met the monks of the temple doing the morning class, and the deep chanting sound resounded in the quiet temple, which had a sense of solemnity and sacredness, and also made Mu Lingkong's heart extremely peaceful.

After listening to the chanting for a while, she staggered back to the guest room, and when she met Qingli who was pushing the door out, she smiled and said hello.

Qingli stared at a pair of round eyes, "Little ...... Miss, why are you up so early today! ”

"Well," Mu Lingkong nodded slightly, "I slept well yesterday." ”

Qingli hurriedly brought in water and cloth towels, and when she was waiting for her to wash, there was a gentle knock on the door, "Female donor, are you up?" ”

Qingli and Mu Lingkong glanced at each other, listening to the voice outside the door was very childish, and when they opened the door, they saw that it was indeed a little novice about six years old, with a pair of black grape-like eyes, and struggled to carry a tray of food, but it didn't spill out at all, "Female donor, this is your breakfast!" ”

Qingli hurriedly took it and folded her hands in thanks, "Thank you little master!" ”

Xiao Shami touched his slippery head and showed a somewhat shy smile, "The female benefactor is polite!" Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he was stopped by Mu Lingkong.

"Is there anything else going on with the benefactor?" just turned her head sideways, and the two lumps of flesh on her cheeks were gently pinched by her, "What's your name, it's so cute!" ”

The little novice didn't seem to have been so close to anyone, and his face suddenly turned red, "Female donor, no, no, the little monk is enlightened." The voice became smaller and smaller, and Mu Lingkong struggled to hear it clearly.

"Little Master Wuxin, why did you bring us breakfast!"

"I practice with my senior brothers, and I help them by the way." Wuxin lowered his eyelashes and whispered back.

Mu Lingkong squatted down, tried to be at eye level with him, and said kindly, "We are not familiar with Lingyin Temple for the first time, can the little master take us for a walk?" ”

Wuxin raised his eyes and glanced at her quickly, then lowered his eyelashes and nodded slightly.

Meng Ruyue, who lived in the adjacent guest room, was sitting at the table with the door open to eat breakfast, and when she raised her eyes, she saw several people walking towards the gate of the courtyard, and hurriedly called out to them, "Why are you going?" ”

Mu Lingkong pointed to Wuxin, who was walking in front and leading the way, "Let the little master take us around the temple!" ”

Meng Ruyue saw Xiao Shami, who was blocked by a few people, and her eyes lit up, "I'm going too!" ”

Mu Lingkong looked at her face and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you coming to Kwai Shui?" Can you still run around? ”

"Oops, maybe I had a cold yesterday and my stomach hurt, but I don't feel anything today!" Meng Ruyue grinned.

Mu Lingkong looked at her speechlessly for a moment, then took her with him, and the group followed Xiao Shami around in a mighty manner.
