Gu Ping'an got up early the next morning, a phone call from Wen Manxue yesterday made him feel faintly uneasy, he told Li Zhengyu about it, and several people decided to speed up the progress of Fuzhou and rush back to Suzhou City as soon as possible.

Gu Ping'an and the others rushed to the moat temple after breakfast, the temple was still full of people, Gu Ping'an and Li Zhengyu went to the main hall to find the host, and the two sisters of the Pan family and Duan Wan were waiting for the two under the big peach tree.

Gu Ping'an and Li Zhengyu entered the main hall, and there were many monks kneeling in front of the main hall as always, and there were also a few monks on both sides of the main hall coming and going.

Li Zhengyu found a monk to ask, and after listening to Li Zhengyu's question, the monk pointed to him the location of the back door of the main hall, "The host just left, and now he should be talking to people outside." ”

"Do you have something to do with the host?"

Li Zhengyu thanked him with a slight smile, and then said, "There are some questions I want to ask the host." ”

The monk folded his hands in return, "Then don't disturb the two donors." ”

Gu Ping'an and Li Zhengyu walked in the direction pointed by the monk, and just after stepping through the threshold of the back door of the main hall, they saw the presiding officer of the temple talking with his back to them.

Li Zhengyu and Gu Ping'an stopped in place and waited quietly to host.

The two waited for about ten minutes, and the host finally ended the conversation, and the two who spoke turned their heads together.

"Mr. Gu?"

A slightly familiar voice came, Gu Ping'an and Li Zhengyu raised their heads, and as the host turned around, they saw the face of the person who spoke clearly.

"Are you-" Gu Ping'an looked at his familiar face and squinted slightly, "Manager Ning?" ”

This person was the lobby manager Ning Lin they had met in Fuliu Villa.

Ning Lin had a surprised smile on his face, "It's me and it's me, I didn't expect to meet a few more here, it's really fate." ”

Saying that, he looked at Gu Ping'an and Li Zhengyu curiously, "Aren't the two of you from the Taoist family?" How to get back to the temple? ”

Li Zhengyu smiled, "We came to Fuzhou to play, and I heard that the moat temple in Fuzhou is very famous, so I came to observe it." ”

Ning Lin nodded suddenly, "Indeed, the moat temple is indeed famous in China, especially the prayer tree in the temple is a well-known spirit, and many people come here to pray under this tree." ”

Hearing this, Li Zhengyu turned around and glanced at each other, Gu Ping'an stepped forward, "I don't know why Mr. Ning came here?" I don't think it's a weekend. ”

Ning Lin smiled when he heard this, "You also know that the relief in the restaurant was gone a few days ago, and it was not beautiful to be empty all the time, so I wanted to come to the temple to invite a jade sculpture that had been opened to go back, and this is not to be discussed with the host." ”

The host on the side twisted the Buddhist beads in his hand, with a faint smile on his face, "I see that the two of you have been standing here for a long time, are you looking for me something?" ”

Li Zhengyu looked at the host when he heard this, "There are some important things I want to ask the host, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you?" ”

The host smiled kindly when he heard this, "Naturally, the two of you are here, please." ”

Then he looked back at Ning Lin, "Mr. Ning, wait a while, the jade carving you want will be delivered later." ”

Ning Lin nodded, "Then I'll go to the main hall and wait for you first." ”

The host took Li Zhengyu and Gu Ping'an to the courtyard behind the main hall, where a few little novices were cleaning, and hurriedly saluted after seeing the host.

The host returned the salute, "You guys should go somewhere else first." ”

A few little novices left the courtyard, leaving Gu Ping'an, Li Zhengyu and the host, and Li Zhengyu and the little novices explained their intentions to the host after they went away.

The host twisted the Buddhist beads in his hand and listened carefully, and said slowly: "So you two want me to be the master and burn the prayer tree?" ”

Gu Ping'an and Li Zhengyu nodded together, and Gu Ping'an added, "Although we can choose to seal the peach tree and the evil things together, we will leave Fuzhou in the future, and if the seal is broken later, we will probably not be able to come over in time." ”

The host stopped what he was doing, and there was an unchanged smile on his face, "I can't agree to the two of you, the prayer tree is the existence of the town temple antiquities of my temple, and it has a history of hundreds of years, and it is not something I can make my own claims." ”

He sighed faintly, "The relics of the past generations are buried under this tree, and they cannot be burned without authorization." ”

"But ......," Li Zhengyu showed an embarrassed expression.

Gu Ping'an on the side said, "This is not just about the luck of the temple, it affects the luck and fate of every believer who comes to pray. ”

The host is not annoyed, "Xiaoyou is young and vigorous, for the sake of the people, but the thousands of monks and grandchildren in my temple also need to live, they are also the people, if I order the burning of the tree today, it is equivalent to smashing the signboard of my temple, not to mention that this tree is the holy object of my temple, itself has a group of believers, just say that the tree in my temple has to be burned because of the erosion of the evil qi, how will the outside world think about my temple and the monks in the temple, and what will the believers who have always believed in my religion think." ”

"The fact that our temple can achieve today's grand occasion is the result of the efforts of the presiding monks of the past dynasties, and the prayer tree is the blessing of the merits of the presiding monks of the past dynasties, so that it can be transferred and prayed for, and it must not be destroyed."

Gu Ping'an and Li Zhengyu both frowned, what the host said was also human nature.

"Then let's seal the Prayer Tree here, what do you think?" Li Zhengyu took a step back.

The host groaned, and the Buddha beads in his hand were twisted one by one, "I don't know how a few people are going to seal it?" ”

"Every ribbon on the tree has evil energy, and the bell under the silk belt is only afraid that there are Gu worms in it, so we need to cut all the red silk, and then set up a formation under the tree to suppress the evil qi and restrain the operation of the four gathering arrays." Gu Ping'an said.

In fact, the most thorough way is to untie the red silk, but the red silk on the tree is densely packed, full of the wishes of the people who have been praying for hundreds of years, and some of them are afraid that they have already been integrated with the big tree under the wind and sun, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to untie these red silks one by one.

The presiding officer was silent again, those red silks had long been the characteristic of the prayer tree, and countless beliefs were attached to it......

The host closed his eyes, "At this time, I still need to discuss with the other principals of the temple, please go back first." ”

"Presiding over you-" Li Zhengyu couldn't help but be a little anxious, "This is a matter of luck in your entire moat, the longer it drags on, the more serious the consequences!" ”

Gu Ping'an patted Li Zhengyu on the shoulder, "We don't have time to stay here too much, preside, this four-gathering array will affect not only the moat, but also the fate of hundreds of thousands of people in Fuzhou, the longer the four-gathering array exists, the more misfortune it will bring to the local people, and even affect people's hearts." ”
