At this time, Eleven Niang and He Ye had already saddled and dismounted in front of Mingde Temple.

Mingde Temple is built by the mountain, the temple gate is located at the foot of the mountain, whether it is the Buddha or the plum blossom, can only walk up the mountain steps through the temple gate, although there is no lack of nearby cloth farmers to come to worship, but there are also many noble and noble admirers, so the temple gate, it is arranged a few Zhike monks, responsible for arranging the chariots and horses of the rich and noble door in the parking place, perhaps because it is still early at this moment, there is no traffic in front of the mountain gate, until listening to the guidance of the Zhike monk along the steps, Eleven Niang only saw many pious believers.

Ai Lu was very excited because it was the first time to worship the Buddha, and Eleven Niang did not restrain her, so she rushed in front with great interest, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"The men are coming up again." He Ye was very patient to accompany Eleven Niang slowly, and by looking around at the mountain scenery, he observed that the tail that he threw off yesterday was thirty steps away, and said in a low voice.

Eleven Niang didn't bother to look back, and trusted King Jin's anti-stalking ability very much: "Your Highness has to prepare a thick sum of incense money." ”

Since they want to lure the snake out of the hole, of course they have to make direct contact with Mingkong this time, but they can't explain their true identity, so it seems to be tricky. If you want the abbot of a temple to meet in person, the most direct way is to smash the incense money, one or two thousand coins are naturally not enough to win the attention of the abbot, at least tens of thousands of coins.

But the three of them traveled lightly, and of course it was impossible to carry this large amount of coins with them - even if He Ye and Ai Luli were infinitely powerful, they could not carry more than hundreds of catties of money to climb the mountains and travel far.

However, there is no limit to the copper coins to offer merit to the temple, you can also use grain and medicinal materials, and there is more bold intention to save trouble, and the use of flying money will be exchanged, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has several flying money, and the face value is enough to be two or three hundred thousand, although it can not be directly used as a money messenger in the market, but the temple of the Great Zhou is mostly supported by the local government, and it is very convenient to exchange money, so it does not refuse the big pilgrims to use the flying money to make merits.

"It's not worth spending a lot of money on a few clay statues!" His Royal Highness the King of Jin was particularly stingy this time, it turned out that he neither believed in Buddhism nor Taoism, and he still suspected that the monk Mingkong was actually a tenant, how could he be willing?

"100,000 dollars is enough, but it seems strange if it is too generous." Eleven Niang inquired with Luo Hou yesterday, the last time Luo's female dependents went up the mountain to worship the Buddha, 50,000 / merit money let Mingkong personally explain the teachings, considering that Luo's female dependents lived in Taigu for a long time, not like they were "a business", so Eleven Niang doubled on this basis.

"100,000 dollars is not generous?" He Ye snorted heavily: "It took a year to reach several dead soldiers." ”

"Regardless of whether Mingkong is a tenant of the enemy army, that is, if he wants to gain a foothold in Taigu, he must also act carefully, and he will not dare to do anything about the wealth of the temple, and Mingde Temple is respected by the government because of his benevolence to the poor, even if Mingkong has ill intentions, before he achieves his goal, he will not stop doing good, His Royal Highness has the right to use these money, it is to help the poor people of Taigu."

He Ye felt a little better in his heart, and he was no longer so panicked, only to see Shi Niang panting, and his brows frowned again: "In the past, your physical strength was fine, why didn't you take a few steps, and you were tired like this?" ”

"I don't walk very much, so I'm not used to it." Eleven Niang is also ashamed, compared to those pampered ladies, although she can still ride and shoot, in the end she usually does not have many opportunities to climb and hike, the typical mind is developed and the limbs are weak, and the mountaineering has only been more than two moments, and she feels a little out of breath.

So he stopped and rested, and finally arrived at the main hall, seeing that Mo said He Ye, even the Ai Lu girl who had already run up and down several times was also calm and relaxed, and Eleven Niang felt even more ashamed, but when she saw a woman dressed in splendid clothes, she was almost "carried" up by two maidservants, and Eleven Niang felt that she had regained a sense of superiority.

It's just that in front of the statue of the main hall, the king of Jin refuses to follow the believers and bow, his head is taller, and the big Buddha statue stands in front of the solemn Buddha statue, which naturally attracts many believers, and a monk is dissatisfied, and he stepped forward to guide the king of Jin to worship, which provoked the living king of Yama to stand up: "How can there be a reason to force people to worship, you monk is really presumptuous!" ”

Eleven Niang was talking to a monk about donating merits, listening to He Ye's thunder, she didn't feel panicked, according to her plan, even if she didn't plan to explain her identity, she didn't need to be deliberately respectful. Mingde Temple is very strange, if it is not bad as expected, at most three or two days, Mingkong will know the true identity of her and He Ye, so His Royal Highness King Jin behaved at this time, not only will he not make a mistake, but he will conform to the consistent style.

So she was not in a hurry to go around, but only apologized to the monk who knew the guest: "My brother has always been straightforward, and there are many offenses, and I hope the master will not be surprised." ”

No wonders? How can that be! Zhike monk is just a low-level monk in the Buddhist temple, and now he is arguing with the king of Jin, but he is his direct boss, but now that the two 50,000 yuan are exchanged, the monk can't help but have a short swing between flattering his boss and money lure, so although his face is angry, his mouth does not dare to be tough, and he is a little stiff and lost his soul for a while.

Eleven Niang also does not believe in Buddhism, only two lives as a person, the Great Ci'en Temple has not been less, the monks have also seen a lot, it is not difficult to conclude that the monk in the Mingde Temple has not learned to be sleek and sophisticated.

In order to avoid the anger of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, of course, the princess of Jin still inevitably reconciled in the middle, so she walked over and pulled someone's sleeve full of anger: "Brother, don't be rude." ”

The brows of the living Hades still did not calm down, and they looked more like the Dharma Protector King Kong than the two on the east and west sides: "Plum blossoms are plum blossoms, you want to be troublesome, what is the point of these clay sculptures?" What's more, this monk forced people to worship, so arrogant and didn't let me teach me a lesson, where was I rude? ”

Scolding the Bodhisattva in front of the monk is unbearable, and even the monks were provoked by the unreasonable living king of Yama to get angry, and raised his voice: "The donor is not sincere, please don't interfere with the Buddha, making noise is disrespectful to the Buddha!" ”

It was actually ordered to evict the customer.

Of course, He Ye refused to give up and snorted coldly, but he was interrupted before he could argue.

"Be cautious, be rude."

Although the exhortation was not high-minded, this low and gentle tone had a shock for some reason, which made the eyes in the hall turn one after another, and no one paid attention to the two sides of the dispute anymore, so even He Ye looked at the person who spoke.

The monk dressed in a jade-colored robe, even shorter than the monk of Zhike, but walked slowly, the pace was steady, and a pair of fine eyes under the long eyebrows were like the heavens and the universe were pure, containing love and compassion, and it seemed that in an instant, it could sweep away the impetuousness and calm down the body and mind.

Eleven Niang had already heard the surprise comments of a devout believer: "Master Mingkong, it's Master Mingkong." ”

Of course, the monk called Shenhe would not be dissatisfied, but there was still a bit of grievance in his tone: "Abbot, it is not the disciple who is rude, it is this benefactor who is disrespectful to the Buddha." ”

"Shenhe, have you forgotten what the three poisons are?"

"Buddhism has three poisons, greed and hatred."

"What is the cloud?"

"It is said that there is affection for the damage of sex."

"Those who are angry are suffering and suffering, and hatred is the nature, and they have no hatred, they are unstable, and their evil deeds are based on their karma. Hatred in the heart, resentment and anger due to disgust with the affairs of sentient beings, hatred for people who go against the will, that is, fighting, and even leading to brutal killing, so anger is the heaviest of the three poisons, and the blame is the deepest. Only then did Mingkong raise his eyes to look at He Ye, his gaze was still peaceful, and he did not mean to blame: "The Buddha purifies all sentient beings, but he does not covet the worship of sentient beings, although this benefactor does not believe in Buddhism, but he is still among the Buddha's Pudu, and we Buddhist disciples should not be angry and slandered." ”

Shen He was ashamed, and confessed to He Ye calmly.

He Ye was also speechless, and he also hinted that he would accept it when he saw it, and he would not be disliked here, so he still snorted lightly: "I'll go to enjoy the plum first, if you want to worship these clay sculptures and wood carvings, worship yourself." "Walk away.

Only then did Shi Niang apologize to Mingkong: "Brother is irritable, there are many offends, don't be surprised by the mage." ”

"The donor is polite, but the disciples under the seat are not practicing enough." Mingkong returned the salute.

Only then did the monk step forward: "Abbot, this donor wants to make merit and donate 100,000 yuan." ”

A turmoil in the hall subsided, but many believers were surprised by the appearance of Mingkong and the public teachings of Buddhism, and they all maintained a standing or kneeling posture, still silently observing the situation at the moment, but they were not shocked by Eleven Niang's generosity, and a pair of eager eyes were still staring at Mingkong.

"The donor is benevolent, the Buddha is grateful, if the donor does not give up, please move and talk to the meditation hall."

"It's a little honor." Of course, Eleven Niang will not refuse.

But seeing that the abbot Mingkong was about to leave, the believers were quite unwilling, and several people spoke at the same time, hoping to listen to the teachings, and Mingkong did not put the abbot on the shelf, and said with a smile: "Today, the poor monks will set up a meditation lecture, and Zhu Tanyue will be present at that time." ”

made a gesture of invitation to Eleven Niang.
