"Sure enough......"

Master Wuwei said in his heart.

Sure enough, it was this cat.

It's just that although this cat is a monster, it is a boy under the Taoist seat, so it is natural that he can enter the temple. What's more, people subdued demons and eliminated demons, and also helped the Three Pagoda Temple to subdue the demon monks who had done a lot of evil hundreds of years ago, so they naturally deserved the courtesy of the Three Pagoda Temple, even if the Buddha saw it, he couldn't stop it.

And now the decline of the Three Pagoda Temple is obvious, it is no longer as good as it was back then, not to mention this Taoist, with this cat's Taoist skills, if they want to enter the temple, they will never dare to stop it.

"Thank you."

Master Wuwei bowed again.

This time, many monks behind him echoed in unison.

The three-flowered cat man stood up, his head held high, his eyes were bright and clear, shining, and he turned his head again, looking at this and that, as if he felt the respect of many monks.

It was a wonderful feeling for her.

In the past, a cat could only hide from people, and even if it became a cat god, it could not easily approach the temple.

Who would have thought that a little cat can not only step into such a large temple openly, but also get the courtesy of the senior monks and monks in the temple, and be thanked by them in unison.

It's also wonderful-

Even though he hasn't grown wings yet, he has a feeling that he has flown in the wind like a swallow.

“……”

Sanhua Niangniang had all kinds of thoughts in her heart, but her expression was still serious, after all, she knew etiquette and etiquette, and she still didn't forget to respond:

"You're welcome!"

The voice is clean and clean, serious and cold, and I can't hear that my inner thoughts are so rich at all.

Only the Taoist looked down at her and smiled.

The cat noticed it and turned its head to look.

As soon as the eyes touched, they took it back.

"Just the boy under the seat has such a ability, which shows that the way of respecting the road is high." Master Wuwei said, and was a little puzzled, "It's just that Venerable seems to have heard of the name of the poor monk?" ”

"The mage is highly cultivated, and the folk reputation is very good, so it is not surprising that he has heard of it."

"I heard from a fishing friend!"

"Oh?"

The Wuwei mage looked down at the cat.

"Sanhua Niangniang likes to fish, often goes to the lake to fish, and will meet an old person surnamed Bai, fishing with Sanhua Niangniang, but he can't catch it." "He said that you used to go to the lake to study and study, and you talked to them, answered their questions, and later told them how to get away from the headless monk. ”

"I see."

Master Wuwei nodded and pondered:

"Surname Bai ......"

"Surname Bai!"

"But a tall, thin, gray-haired old man?"

"That's right!"

"It's him......"

The respected monk bowed down to talk to the cat, frowning, but he didn't feel scared or surprised: "If you think about it, with the skills of Sanhua Niangniang, you must have seen that he is not a human." ”

"I didn't see it!"

"Sanhua Niangniang didn't see it? This is not surprising. Master Wuwei said, "That old man likes to call himself a common man from outside the city, surnamed Bai, his family is quite wealthy, he loves fishing, and the poor monk went to the lake to study Buddhism and teach the scriptures many years ago, and I got acquainted with him at that time, and often talked with him while fishing. As a result, he slowly found out that he had a demonic spirit, and after some investigation, he found that he did not have a place to live outside the city, and the poor monk was not afraid, so he asked him, and then he learned that he was a metasequoia tree by the lake to get the shape of Taoism, because people often come to the lake to fish, and they also became infected with the habit of loving fishing when they see more, because the poor monk preaches by the lake, he comes to get acquainted. Later, I listened to the Buddhist scriptures of the poor monk a lot, and the little demonic aura on my body slowly dissipated. ”

"I didn't see it!" Sanhua Cat still said the same, only a pause, "But he told me later!" ”

"Oh?"

"And he told me later. Sanhua Niangniang also taught him my spell, the fishing spell, which is not easy to pass on to others. ”

The three-flowered cat raised his head and said, his eyes flickered, but what he remembered was the first time he met with the fisherman, in order to learn from him to string fish and carry it home, so that he could swagger through the market, he found a tree from the lake, borrowed a branch from the tree with the swallow's little sword, and went fishing again the next day, and met the old man again, and found that he had a scar on his arm.

Sanhua Niangniang asked him what was wrong, and he didn't say.

Later, after getting along for a long time, he told her, but he only sighed, saying that he had received a fish from her that day, and it was offset.

Sanhua Niangniang didn't know before, why the tree also fished, but she came back and asked the Taoist to know, it turned out that the tree also wants to eat fish, but not to eat it with its mouth, but buried under the roots, the fish will slowly become a good fertilizer, better than burying other things.

Look, the trees love to eat fish, and they don't get tired of eating it.

The three-flowered cat glanced at his own Taoist priest.

"The headless monk is extremely vicious, but not only harmful, other demons and monsters are encountered by him and cannot escape the poison, I was to persuade the old man not to show up easily, go to the lake to fish, so as not to meet the headless demon monk was killed by him, but he can't let go of the fun of fishing, still go every day, rain or shine."

Master Wuwei shook his head.

Fishing is useless, and he doesn't do anything that harms living beings, because he doesn't understand the joy of fishing.

While talking, he invited a man and a cat and a red horse to enter, unloaded the bags on horseback, and asked the monks in the kitchen to prepare a meal, and then looked up at the sky, and saw a swallow flying up and down, left and right, and wantonly and freely, asked the questioner, and after getting his answer, he lowered his head and took them to visit this temple.

As the name suggests, the Three Pagoda Temple has three pagodas.

The three towers, one large and two small, are very high.

The big tower is a square tower, a total of 16 levels, the tower is more than 20 zhang high, two small towers are octagonal, a total of 10 levels, there are also more than 10 zhang high. The mountain god of Sanhua Niangniang has already become very tall, but in front of these three towers that are more than ten or twenty times higher than the mountain god, it seems small again.

The three-flowered cat is even smaller.

The big tower was built early, and the two small towers were built a little later, but they are also hundreds of years old, and there are traces of wind and rain on them, and every brick is also carved with dense scriptures.

Maybe in a few hundred or thousands of years, it will still stand on this land, but I don't know if it was the same then and now again.

The Taoist listened to Master Wuwei's introduction and visited carefully.

There is no better tour guide than this.

It's just that his gaze always goes beyond the place introduced by Master Wuwei, and turns to look at the scriptures on the stone bricks of the pagoda, the weathering and wear on them, and the traces left by time.

The cat also watched attentively, and followed his gaze.

Until you come to the mirror hall.

The Taoist stopped and looked up.

There is a plaque above the temple, which reads "Jingtai Palace" in three gilded characters, and there are door couplets on both sides, which read:

Let your lawlessness be, in front of the evil mirror here, do you still have the guts?

You must know that I can forgive, why not put down the butcher knife and turn around.

"This is the Hall of Mirrors. Inside the mirror platform is the treasure of my temple, although the spirit is not spiritual, but can peek into the past, but also can know the future, if there are hundreds of years ago such a high monk presided over the treasure in the temple, but also can be broken by the life of the debt, evaluate the merits of good and evil. Master Wuwei shook his head and sighed, "It's just that before people came here, they were all very curious about the mirror platform, including the previous emperors. However, when they came here to ask the mirror platform, the reply given by the mirror platform often did not satisfy them, but they were furious, moved to the temple, and in their old age, they came here to forgive their sins, which is really thought-provoking. ”

"How do I use the mirror stand?"

After the Taoist chief walked in, he lit a stick of incense, stood in front of the mirror platform, and asked if there was anything he wanted to ask, as long as it was about the past and future, his life's debts, good and evil, just ask. If the mirror platform answers, the Taoist will naturally be able to get a vague revelation response, and he may not know until he goes back and knows in his dream. Master Wuwei said, "If the mirror platform does not answer, the incense will be extinguished." ”

"Can you answer in the past and in the future?"

Song You asked, but couldn't help but smile.

"The Taoist can give it a try, and the mirror table knows only a limited amount of information, so it may not be accurate, and it may be wrong to answer." Master Wuwei said, "If the Taoist wants to try, please go in, with the Taoist Taoist, you don't need the poor monk to help preside over it, and the poor monk's Taoism is limited, so you won't go in." ”

"Then I'll try it."

The Taoist thought it was interesting and walked in.

The cat stepped in.

The light in the room suddenly dimmed.

I saw that there were also several life-size statues in the room, all placed next to them, not very tall, and I couldn't recognize which Buddha and Bodhisattva it was, but it was more likely to be a former monk in the temple, and there was a stone platform in the middle, placed at an angle inclined towards the door, and the surface was flat.

The stone platform is gray-white, with black lines, which naturally forms a freehand landscape painting, and looks like a scripture written when you look closely. The texture of the stone is very hard, rigid, and the surface is very smooth, as if it has been carefully polished and polished, and even a human figure can be seen when standing in front of you.

“……”

Song You looked at the statue next to him, then looked at the mirror platform, thought for a long time, then lit an incense stick, and asked in a low voice: "The mirror platform, the mirror platform, said that you know the past and the future, so do you think this temple will still exist five hundred years later?" At that time, the Red Gold Emperor and the Western Heavenly Buddha were still alive? ”

"Hoo ......"

The wind was blowing in outside.

The three sticks of incense have been extinguished.

“……”

It seems that the mirror platform does not answer.

I don't know if I don't want to, I don't dare, or I can't.

"Let's change the question." Song You picked up the three sticks of incense and shook them, lit them again, and inserted them back in, "Do you think that I will still exist in this world after ten years?" ”

"Hoo ......"

Silently, the incense stick burned out.

Song You also seemed to have an answer.

It's really a vague feeling, not a sound, not a word, just a kind of dark perception, perceiving the answer it gives.

It seems that it knows that the Fulongguan will last longer.

It is not difficult to make inferences from this.

There may also be other grounds.

If it is said that it can transcend time and look backwards into the future, especially the future of this kind of thing, the Taoist does not believe it.
