On the tenth day of the fourth month, Sun Ning escorted the monks of Yunlin Temple back to Hangzhou.

Compared with when I went to Suzhou, the return trip was much safer, and I didn't encounter a crisis along the way, not even the robbers who cut the path.

In fact, with 200 officers and soldiers escorting, such a huge team, I am afraid that no bandit and bandit along the way would dare to attack easily, otherwise they would only hit the muzzle of the gun themselves.

However, their trip back to Hangzhou was still longer than when they went to Suzhou, and it took seven or eight days to see the familiar city of Hangzhou again. Because everyone deliberately slowed down their pace along the way, and they no longer had to rush against time like they had in the previous days of the festival.

This gave everyone a good taste of the beautiful scenery in the twilight spring season of the south of the Yangtze River.

The lush vegetation all over the mountains, the purple and red flowers, the green mountains and green waters, are really unique.

And the villages and towns and small county towns dotted with the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers make this painting scroll like a splashed landscape more and more vivid, and even Sun Ning can't help but indulge in it, and wants to let go of everything, settle here, and live some of the simplest lives.

Of course, this thought only lasted all the way, and when they returned to Hangzhou and saw the prosperity of this city, he completely left this strange idea behind.

I still have too many things to do, and many goals to achieve, how can I indulge in the ordinary?

Even if you return to Hangzhou now, you need to find out the origin of the guy named Mr. Gu from here as soon as possible, so as to set a strategy to deal with it.

"Amitabha, this time it's really thanks to the two Sun Protectors who have blessed them all the way, otherwise the poor monks and others would have died at the hands of those villains!" Zhishan Yi said that Xie finally called Sun Ning out of his thoughts.

At this time, they had already stopped outside the Yunlin Temple.

The incense of this temple is still in full bloom, and there are still many devotees coming in and out, and when they see the Supreme Master and their return in the dust, many people have already stopped and stepped forward cautiously to pay tribute.

At the same time, the other monks in front of the temple gate also hurried back to report to the abbot and others after seeing their arrival, and soon, a group of senior monks and masters also hurriedly greeted them, and they had already met the salute from afar, and even announced the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, it is really the blessing of the Buddha, everyone has returned safely." ”

Seeing this, they also hurriedly stepped forward to salute each other, and finally the monks in the temple welcomed Sun Ning and several people into the temple under the leadership of the abbot Zhiming, and Haosheng made a thanks.

Compared with Liang Wentong and other officers and soldiers who had resigned and returned to the camp after entering Hangzhou City, Yunlin Temple was still more grateful to Sun Ning and others for their protection along the way.

As early as after arriving in Suzhou safely, Zhishan has written a letter to the temple about the dangers experienced along the way, and then the changes that occurred in the Hanshan Temple Dharma Club have also been known to the monks of Yunlin Temple through various channels, which naturally makes them feel the same anxiety and hesitation in Hangzhou.

It was only at this time, seeing that Zhishan and them came back with all their beards, that everyone felt relieved, and they also became more and more grateful and respectful to Sun Ning.

At this time, all the monks were shouting one by one, very close, and even more thankful: "This time it is really thanks to Sun Protector that you have been protecting the monks of our temple, and the poor monks really don't know how to thank you." ”

"Haha, the masters are serious, this is all done in the next place. Now that I have complied with your request, and have been revered by you as the Dharma Protector, I should do my best to protect your safety. Sun Ning hurriedly humbled a sentence.

"That being said, the whole temple still has to thank Sun Protector a lot." Zhiming was very satisfied with Sun Ning's attitude, and when he smiled and spoke, he gave the disciple beside him a look.

The latter immediately understood, took out a deed from the sleeve of the wide monk's robe and offered it with both hands: "Sun Protector, this is a little bit of caution from my Yunlin Temple, please don't dislike it." ”

Sun Ning took it casually, swept it quickly, and raised his eyebrows: "Masters, this thank you gift is too heavy, and you deserve it......

This deed is a contract with a house and land, and the house is a manor by the West Lake, which is the villa under the name of the Xie family where Sun Ning and the others lived before.

This garden is two or three acres wide, and the lot is close to the West Lake, among which the pavilions and pavilions, flower garden courtyards, are all built by craftsmen, and it is worth a word of gold.

As for the other half of the land deed, it is even more amazing, there are actually three hectares of fertile land.

It's not about acres, but about acres, and this number is about to account for half of the entire Yunlin Temple's production.

And the location is also quite good, just on the edge of the West Lake, in front of Yunlin Temple, a few miles away from this house.

Adding the two, judging from the price of the fields in Zhejiang today, I am afraid that it will be worth more than 100,000 taels of silver, even if it is Sun Ning, he feels that this deed is quite oppressive, and some dare not take it.

"Hehe, Sun Protector doesn't have to excuse himself, you have saved the monks of Yunlin Temple many times before and after, and the monks who have received your kindness are afraid that they are about to reach more than 100 people, and our gratitude gift is really not worth mentioning.

"Moreover, since you are already the protector of my Yunlin Temple, my temple should arrange everything for you, and we will have more contacts in the future."

Abbot Zhiming said with a smile: "Of course, if you look down on my Yunlin Temple, the poor monks and others will not dare to force ......."

Everyone has said this, and Sun Ning can't make any more excuses, so he can only reluctantly accept the deed: "In this case, then I will accept this thank you gift with shame." In the future, if Yunlin Temple encounters any trouble, it will definitely help you and protect you. ”

"Haha, it's rest assured that such a poor monk is waiting." When the monks heard him say this, they all laughed heartily.

This time they did make a lot of money, don't look at everyone looking at it now and laughing, but in fact, many monks are also dripping blood in their hearts.

Even with the wealth of Yunlin Temple, it is full of reluctance to come out with the benefits of nearly 100,000 silver.

But there is no way, if they want to keep a good hand like Sun Ning for their own use, they have to spend a lot of money.

Because they already know the situation of Hanshan Temple in Suzhou, Yunlin Temple does not want to follow in its footsteps, and in terms of the current situation in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as the turbulent situation in the whole world, when will the danger come to this temple.

Therefore, you have to buy people's hearts before problems arise, and Sun Ning's ability has been fully demonstrated these days, and he has a good relationship with them, so he naturally has to win them over.

And in addition to this real thank-you gift, Zhiming also said quite politely: "Sun Protector, we will be a family in the future, if you have any difficulties, you can also come to the poor monks, etc., our Yunlin Temple will definitely not refuse." ”

Sun Ning's heart moved when he heard this: "This is the best, but there is really something I want to ask Yunlin Temple to come forward and talk to the government now." ”
