Early the next morning, the Li family was ready, and they drove two cars, just like Qingshan Temple.

It was Qiao Na who drove the car, and the other, of course, was Li Xiaoqi's father, Li Yongfeng. After Li Xiaoqi's persuasion last time, Li Yongfeng also bought a car.

Li Xiaoqi and his family had arrived early enough, but when they arrived at Qingshan Temple, the streets were already full of people. The visitors were all small vendors, selling simple snacks.

Of course, there are many people who come here to shop. In a city like Li Xiaoqi's house, there is an advantage, that is, the chengguan generally won't care about you, even if the chengguan sees you setting up a stall, they won't choose to drive you away. You'll even buy some food at your stall.

The old people also wanted to leave a separate space for Qiao Na and Li Xiaoqi, so they were already separated when they first arrived at the place.

Joanna was excited to look at the crowd of people setting up stalls on the street, there were many things she had never even heard of. "Xiao Qi, what is this?"

"It's called grilled cold noodles, and it tastes good, you can try it. ”

Although transportation is much more convenient than before in this era, there are still many people who have not eaten authentic snacks from the Northeast.

Cortana asked the boss for one, then hugged the box and began to eat, rubbing her mouth all over it. While eating, he said, "It's delicious, it's really delicious, it's just a little spicy." ”

Li Xiaoqi took out a piece of paper in his pocket and wiped Qiao Na's mouth, "If you think it's spicy, you can ask the boss to put less chili peppers." ”

After eating, Jona asked Xiao Qi, "Can I have another one?"

"Don't eat this yet, there are a lot of good things, I guess you haven't eaten them, we can taste something else first, and there will be a chance later." ”

Jona was right to think about it, if she was full of this thing, she wouldn't be able to taste anything else, and even if she had it, she wouldn't be able to eat it.

The two of them walked around while eating, and walked for more than two hours. "Xiao Qi, shall we go inside and take a look?"

"It's not like you haven't seen the temple, what are you doing inside?" Li Xiaoqi felt very strange about Qiao Na's request.

"We're all here, of course we're going to say goodbye. ”

"Okay, then listen to you, go inside and have a look. ”

Qingshan Temple is a very famous temple on the side of Li Xiaoqi's family, and it is located at the foot of a mountain. The area is very large, and there are many monks in it.

However, for Li Xiaoqi, he doesn't like Buddha very much. After all, he is also a member of Taoism.

The two came inside, there are really a lot of people who come to worship the Buddha and worship incense, the main hall is in the center of Qingshan Temple, and there are many temples on the periphery. So they didn't choose to go directly to the main hall and wandered around.

After strolling around for a while, Qiao Na asked Xiao Qi, "What kind of temple is this temple in front of Xiao Qi?"

Li Xiaoqi looked at it, and then shook his head. "I don't know, I didn't have this temple when I came before. ”

When the two came to the temple, they found that there were very few people in the temple, almost no people. This also made Li Xiaoqi feel strange.

It stands to reason that people who believe in Buddhism come to the mountain to worship Buddha. You should go through every temple. But the other temples were crowded with people, and there were only four or five people alone.

There is also a small monk sitting in front of the temple, reciting scriptures. Li Xiaoqi stepped forward and asked with some curiosity. "Little monk, how can there be so few people in front of this temple. ”

The little monk stood up and bowed slightly to Li Xiaoqi. "This donor may not know that this temple has only been built in recent years, but people who have come to this temple to worship. It is said that when he returns home, he will have a dream about a monk who recites scriptures in his dream every day. So there are fewer and fewer people coming to this temple. ”

Buddhism pays attention to monks and does not lie, so the little monk can only tell the truth about Li Xiaoqi's problems.

"And who is enshrined in this temple?"

The little monk shook his head, "The poor monk doesn't know either. ”

Li Xiaoqi didn't know what to say about the little monk's words. "You don't know who your own temple is enshrined?"

"The poor monk really doesn't know that this temple was received by the abbot of our temple a few years ago. After the monk left, we presided over the construction of the temple. I'm just saying here that after worshipping in this temple. I hear people chanting every night, that's why I'm here. ”

After Li Xiaoqi heard what the little monk said, he also understood the matter. Turning to Jona, "Shall we go in again?"

The woman's curiosity was not low, "It's all here, let's go in and have a look." Jona's face was excited, apparently seeing her entry into the temple as an expedition.

After the two entered the temple, Li Xiaoqi suddenly froze. And Jona was a little distracted.

At this time, Li Xiaoqi felt that he couldn't control his body. Even his own consciousness slowly blurred. Then his consciousness faded away.

When Li Xiaoqi's consciousness woke up again, it seemed that the place where he appeared was no longer his own world, and to be precise, he did not appear. At this time, he was like a spectator. The body cannot move, and the mouth cannot speak.

He was anxious about this situation. I tried to summon a snout, but the spear didn't respond at all. In desperation, Li Xiaoqi could only choose to wait quietly.

A child suddenly appeared in his sight, and an old monk stood in front of the child. However, the old monk's aura was a little weak.

The child asked the old monk in a childish accent. "Master, are you going to die?"

When a child says that he is going to die, he generally means that the monk is going to die, which is a euphemism.

"Xuanye, what are you talking about? You just want to die for your teacher. Although the old monk said this child, he was just smiling.

"No, master, I don't think you're enough. It feels like you could die at any moment. ”

"You're right, the master feels like I can't live today. However, the master has a lot of things to explain to you, and you have to write them down carefully. ”

Xuan Ye nodded, "Master, don't worry, the disciple must remember it firmly." ”

"After I die, you must keep this temple, and you are the reincarnation of the Buddha, and you will have to go through nine reincarnations before you can return to the Western Heavens. So you, the reincarnation of the ninth life, can't commit a pure precept, and the master is gone. After the old monk finished speaking, he fell straight to the ground.

Xuan Ye watched his master fall to the ground and did not cry, for the Buddhist family, he was destined to ascend to the Elysian World after death.

He recited to his master, "Amitabha." Then Xuan Ye hugged his master's corpse tightly. Don't look at Xuan Ye who was only five or six years old at this time, and he easily picked up the master's corpse. Then the funeral of the master was organized.

The funeral of the old monk is also very simple, just find a vacant land near the mountain forest, and then dig a pit, bury the old monk here, and set up a stele, Buddhism is really not much about the burial.

After getting it done, Xuanye was like no one, eating fasting and chanting Buddha all day long.

The days passed like this, and Xuanye came to eighteen years old in a blink of an eye.

On the day he turned eighteen, he made a decision to go down the mountain. This time I went down the mountain not for anything else, but for the sake of training, and by the way.

In the past, he also went out to make a fortune, but he was only at the bottom of the mountain and did not go far. This time he decided to go a little further.

After packing his bags, Xuanye set off, and ten days later he came to a small town. Strangely, even during the day, there are few pedestrians in the town.

Genye walked to a door and knocked on the door, and a somewhat trembling voice came from inside. "Who?"

"Donor, the poor monk is a monk. Passing by here, I want to ask for a bite to eat. ”

The person inside opened the door and looked, it was really a monk. They looked left and right to make sure there was no one else. only then did he return the salute to Xuanye. "Come in, this monk, I'll prepare some food for you now. ”

After the meal was served, Xuan Ye asked curiously. "Donor, why are there so few pedestrians on this street?"

"Monk, you're from out of town, right? you probably don't know anything about us. We don't have anything to do and don't go out. Even if there was a need, I went out and bought it quickly, and then hid at home. It's not safe in this town. ”

"Why isn't this town safe?"

"It's not the bandits who made trouble, now it's a famine year, and many people don't have enough to eat, but there is a group of bandits in the nearby mountains. They don't care if you're well fed or not. Grab whatever you find. We can't help but close the door. The old man said with a sad face.

"There is such a thing, does the government care?"

The old man sighed, "The government wants to manage it, but it has to manage it." If it's just bandits, it's okay, this town is haunted at night. ”

"Haunted?"

"yes, a woman in red died in the town a few years ago. This woman was also killed by bandits. Before nightfall, the female ghost in red will appear. Now every family in our family is afraid to go out at night. ”

Xuanye listened to the old man's complaints, did not speak, just listened to him quietly.

There are many sufferings in this world, even if Xuanye wants to take care of this matter. But I can't manage it.

Those who can go to the mountains to be bandits must be some poor people. The helplessness of being forced by life will choose to go up the mountain. Otherwise, who will not be able to go over to be a bandit if he has a good life.

As for the female ghost in red, Xuan Ye didn't see it, and he wasn't sure if what the old man said was true or false.

The time slowly came to dark. Genba got up and took his leave.

"Monk, it's night, so you might as well stay at my house. What if you're going to run into that red-clothed ghost?"

Xuanye smiled slightly. "Old man, if I really meet that female ghost in red, then this is a certainty. After saying that, he got up and left.
