Chapter 18 There are two people living in the meditation room, and there is no trace of alchemy

The monks and nuns in the monastery live in two monasteries, east and west. To the west of the temple and to the north of the temple are also several meditation rooms, which are currently being renovated.

There are nine meditation rooms in the West Zen Temple, and the two meditation rooms facing east are empty.

Master Nian Ci opened the door of the meditation room, and inside the meditation room was a large bunk, each of which could sleep four people. Mrs. Nian Ci found a few straw mats, bedding and bamboo pillows, as well as two wooden basins and two foot basins (the foot basin has three feet).

Mrs. Nianci's attitude has changed greatly from when Chen Jie and Han Lingling first met: "Every day at noon and evening, someone will bring hot water. If there are any other requirements, the comrades just say it, and the poor nuns will definitely do it, but this monastery is different from other places, and the diet and daily life are very simple. Please bear with me. ”

Some people are very interesting, you are polite to him, but he takes politeness as a blessing.

The four men slept in the south meditation room, and Han Lingling slept in the north meditation room.

All meditation rooms have corridors in front of them, and in the corridors are ropes pulled from them, which are apparently used to dry clothes.

There was a well in the middle of the yard, and the mouth of the well was covered with a wooden cover, on which was placed a wooden barrel, and on the edge of the well was a wooden shelf, on which there was a wheel, and at each end of the wheel there was a crank, and some ropes were wound around the wheel.

Standing on the edge of the well, looking up to the north, you can see a very high wooden shelf, a worker is sitting on a beam of a house wielding a hammer, the sound of the hammer hitting the iron nail in the air can be heard, that is the construction site where Master Chen is located, if you listen closely, you can also hear the sound of the craftsmen talking.

The construction site where Master Chen is located is on the northwest corner of the West Chan Temple, and the entire building of the Ming Chen Temple is climbed along a large gentle slope. Although the scale of the Jingwu Hall is not as large as the Daxiong Treasure Hall, it is much higher than the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and you can see the eaves raised by the Jingwu Hall in the air when you stand in the West Zen Temple. Under the shade of the pine and cypress, the Mingchen Temple appears more and more secluded, and there are some mysterious things hidden in the seclusion. The mystery of Mingchen Temple is reflected in the gray tones of the buildings, in the scattered buildings, and even more in the tall and dense shade of the trees.

"Mrs. Nianci, where is Jingping's room?"

"Thereβ€”" Nian Ci Shi pointed to the third meditation room in the north (counting from east to west).

"Can we go in and have a look?"

"After Jingping left the temple, the others moved in."

Traces of a peaceful life are definitely gone.

"Before Jingping disappeared, how many people lived in the meditation room?"

"Just one person."

"How many people should live in a meditation room, why is there only one person in Jingping?"

"This is what Abbot Huijue explained. Whatever the abbot commanded, the poor nuns did as they were. ”

"Jingping must have something!"

"I don't know if she brought anything with her up the mountain, but after she left, when we cleaned the meditation room, we didn't see anything, and your people also went to the meditation room to see it, but they didn't find anything."

The person is missing, and there is nothing left, where are the diary pens and photos of Alchemist Luodan?

"Mrs. Nianci, we want to go in and have a look."

"Okay, everyone, please wait a moment, I'll come when I go."

After four or five minutes, Master Nian Ci led a young nun into the monastery, and the young nun had a butterfly-shaped scar on her right temple.

The young nun holds a key in her hand, which is fastened with a rope and the other end of the rope is tied to a belt. This is probably the only key she has.

The young nun unlocked the door and pushed open the door to the meditation room.

The inside of the meditation room, like other meditation rooms, is also a large shop. There was nothing but a table, a chair and a few wooden basins. There are two futons and two pillows on the bed.
