Chapter 33: The Mysterious Box
This was similar to what she expected, and Chen Yuexi looked at the temple with the open gate in front of her.
Li Yi and Chen Yuexi walked in one after the other, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, the weather was hot, and the people in the temple were resting, so the two of them were not bothered, so they found a shady place and sat down.
"It's hot, two donors, please come in."
A little monk ran out of the house.
"No, no, I won't disturb your rest." Chen Yuexi was afraid that entering the house would wake everyone up.
"Don't get in the way, donor, the abbot has been waiting for you for a long time." The little monk made a gesture of please.
"How long are we waiting?"
The two glanced at each other.
The little monk led the way in front, passing through a small wood, and the abbot not far away had already gone out to greet him.
"Two donors, please take a seat."
"Thank you, I'm really embarrassed to go out to greet you in such a hot weather." Chen Yuexi has always been very respectful of the people of her grandfather's generation.
The abbot smiled and nodded.
"Abbot, we need your spell to suppress the ghosts." Li Yu got straight to the point.
"This temple borrows the aura of mountains and rivers, heaven and earth, and lonely souls and wild ghosts never dare to approach." Abbot Road.
"What do you mean?" Li Yu asked.
"The abbot means that the temple here doesn't use charms." Chen Yuexi looked at the abbot.
"What do you mean? Let's go for nothing? Li Yu asked again.
"Can you stop asking, and listen to the abbot say no?" Chen Yuexi was impatient.
"Two donors, you have to go to the next mountain to find the talisman you need, which is the cultivation place of the Taoist priest, follow the river you came from, and continue to walk for two hours." The abbot spoke very slowly.
After the two thanked them, they got up and were about to leave, but the abbot stopped Chen Yuexi.
"Don't play with time, get back to your world as soon as it's over." The abbot whispered to Chen Yuexi.
Chen Yuexi nodded.
"What did the old man say to you?" Li Yu asked as he walked.
"Say I'm more handsome than you." Chen Yuexi glanced at Li Yu.
The two walked along the way, enjoying the scenery all the way, the trees and flowers became less and less, but the air was still comfortable, and from time to time there were small animals walking side by side, and it took less than an hour to walk.
In contrast to the temple just now, the gate of the Taoist temple is closed.
Chen Yuexi stepped forward and knocked on the door.
There was no answer in the Taoist temple, and Li Yu also stepped forward and knocked, it was still the same.
The two discussed for a long time, but were a little disappointed and decided to come back another day.
"Slow!"
The Taoist priest opened the door and called for the two to stop.
I saw that the Taoist priest put a wooden box at the door and immediately closed the door again.
Both of them walked to the edge of the box and wanted to open the box, but the Taoist priest behaved strangely and didn't dare to touch it, so they let each other go first.
Chen Yuexi stepped forward and kicked it, and then hid far away, and the box moved a little, and no strange things happened as expected.
Seeing this, Li Yu also stepped forward and kicked it, but the kick was too strong, and he directly kicked the box on the heel, the lid opened, and the contents fell out.
Before they could see what had fallen, the two of them were so frightened that they hid behind a tree.
"You're too daring, you're laughing at me." Chen Yuexi looked at Li Yu behind her.
"Didn't you run first?" Li Yu replied.
"You're not small, go see what's coming out." Chen Yuexi pushed Li Yu forward.
"Just go." The back left by Li Yu is very handsome, but his facial expression is a little twisted.
Li Yi walked to the box, his face full of surprise, and what fell out was a yellow charm.
Chen Yuexi followed, looked at the box in front of her, the carving was exquisite and weighty, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that all the things and people on this mountain were full of spirituality.
There was also a mahogany sword stuck inside the lid of the box.
"Are there any instructions for using these things?"
Chen Yuexi forcefully took out the peachwood sword.
"Give it to me, I'll use it."
Li Yu snatched the peachwood sword from Chen Yuexi's hand.
It was getting dark, and it wasn't too late, but there were no boats to sit on, because the people in the mountains didn't need to communicate with the outside world, and they didn't need to earn the few boat money that customers had.
The two had to go back the same way, planning to walk back to Putuo Mountain first, and continue along the stream.
As the two walked, they reminisced, and Chen Yuexi also inquired into Li Yu's mouth to know what kind of person she was in this world, and she was actually quite similar when she said it.
Li Yu told Chen Yuexi about his glorious past, he was once a three-time wrestling champion in Menghu City, and he could sell cars during his part-time job during the summer vacation and be a sales champion, proving that this kid is both civil and military.
Chen Yuexi is all, and she doesn't believe it at all.
There was finally a light in front, because it was dark and the two didn't know where to go, so the two kept walking towards the light, it turned out that they were back in the temple, and they saw the abbot sitting at the door, holding a Buddhist bead in his hand.
The abbot closed his eyes: "The stars and the moon are faintly bright, it is inconvenient to move forward, please stay and rest for the night." ”
"You're welcome." Li Yi smiled.
"Don't we know how to bring in the box in our hands?" Chen Yuexi brought the box to the abbot.
The abbot didn't open his eyes: "Let's go in, the accommodation of the two has been arranged." After speaking, he continued to play with the Buddha beads.
As soon as I walked into the house, my eyes were about to pop out, and a table of good dishes was set up next to the bed to entertain the two, which was particularly fragrant, although they were all vegetarian dishes, but this was enough to make the two people who hadn't eaten for a day have a full meal.
There are fruits after meals, and the food is called a pleasure, and the water to drink is also mountain spring water, which is refreshing.
Li Yi and Chen Yuexi took a break after dinner, ready to walk around the neighborhood, just went out and saw a lot of monks in the temple silently cleaning the courtyard, Li Yi and Chen Yuexi were embarrassed to eat and drink in vain, and were also ready to clean and clean, but the monks did not let them work anyway.
"Donor, the abbot is invited."
It was the little monk who spoke in the morning.
"Hurry up and sweep the floor."
Chen Yuexi ordered Li Yu to follow the little monk over.
"Abbot."
Chen Yuexi nodded.
"Donor, you're slower today than expected."
The abbot looked at Chen Yuexi.
"Will this make any difference?" Chen Yuexi was a little puzzled.
"The Bodhisattva once told Lao Gu that the gate of time and space has been opened, and today is also the first time that Lao Ge has seen someone who has traveled through time and space."
The abbot looked at Chen Yuexi.
"I also heard about the abbot in that time and space, I don't know if you remember Zhang Ting's story? I'm from that plane. Chen Yuexi sighed.
"That space-time gate is being tinkered with, and I just want to remind the Lord to hurry up and finish what needs to be done." There was a hint of worry in the abbot's eyes.
"How much time do I have left?" Chen Yuexi gritted her teeth.
The abbot finally stopped the Buddhist beads in his hand, and Chen Yuexi swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"In the middle of the night, the third watch came here to find the old man, Amitabha." The Buddha beads and the abbot were coiled up.
Early in the morning of the second day, Chen Yuexi Li Yu set foot on the road back to the demon city. It just so happened that the boat they took was the one they took when they came to Putuo Mountain the day before.
