Bai Gu packed up his mood and went to a more famous porridge shop on Baihua Street, asked for a pot of shrimp and crab casserole porridge, and then packed the pot and took it away.

Xiaoxiao still has to eat some things to nourish her body, and the rest, let's talk about it when she has enough spirits.

Bai Gu glanced up at the sky, it seemed to be early?

Bai Gu suddenly remembered something, so he raised his feet and walked towards the north city gate.

When he walked to a small hill near Lingding Lane, Bai Gu's heart felt sour, and his legs couldn't walk as if they were filled with lead.

Bai Gu's eyes looked somewhere, trying to pull out a smile, but it was more ugly than crying.

Bai Gu slowed down, trying his best to calm his complicated heart.

Then Bai Gu took a deep breath, his heart was ruthless, and he raised his leg and walked in another direction.

To the north of the hill is a desolate and sparsely populated place.

The originally open sand and gravel land was suddenly retracted somewhere, and only a small path was left for a person to pass sideways.

Although the large areas of dry yellow weeds on both sides were pressed down by the large cloud of snow, they were still the height of the white lone's shoulder.

It is not difficult to see that these weeds are about two people tall.

Bai Gu stepped sideways on the path while clearing the weeds that were in the way in front of him.

With a vague memory, Bai Gu came to a small Buddha temple.

The small Buddha temple is not big, and even the main hall dedicated to the Buddha statue is only ten steps in size. Next to it is a transept room smaller than the main hall, which is used for the daily accommodation of the monks stationed in the temple.

Bai Gu came to the door of the Buddhist temple, glanced at the simple clay statue of the Bodhisattva enshrined in the main hall, folded his hands and bowed, and then straightened up.

Bai Gu only felt that the small Buddha temple was very small, and I was afraid that even his own home would be bigger than this small Buddha temple.

And the name of the Little Buddha Temple is also very arbitrary, it is called the Little Buddha Temple.

These three words are engraved on the wooden plaque.

At this time, a very young monk walked out of the small Buddha temple, clasped his hands together to Bai Gu, and sang the Buddha horn, "This donor, is he coming to the temple to worship the Buddha?" ”

Bai Gu nodded, "I remember that there was an old monk in the Buddhist temple before, how did you change people?" ”

The young monk was a little surprised, "Has the donor been here before?" ”

"My grandmother is a Buddhist, and I came here with her when I was a child, and it was the old monk who received us."

The young monk suddenly said, "The old abbot is getting old, so he applied and resigned from his position in the temple." The Buddhist court agreed to the old abbot's application and sent a young monk to take over the old abbot's position. ”

Bai Gu took out a silver ingot, which was ten taels, "I want to put on a stick of fragrance, this is a little heart." ”

The young monk did not immediately reach out and take the silver, "When the donor finishes offering incense, it will not be too late to accept the incense money." Please come with the little monk. ”

The young monk made a gesture of invitation and led Bai Gu into the small Buddha temple.

The young monk took three sticks of incense for Bai Gu, and then handed it to Bai Gu with both hands, "Donor, please." ”

Bai Gu looked at the incense in the young monk's hand, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

It's weird, I just feel like I shouldn't take this incense.

Bai Gu's eyes narrowed slightly.

The young monk was a little puzzled, "Donor, what's wrong with you?" Is there something uncomfortable about it? ”

Bai Gu shook his head and did not speak.

Because the strangeness in my heart became more and more intense.

Bai Gu took a deep breath, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he resolutely took the three sticks of incense in the young monk's hand, and then turned to face the Bodhisattva clay statue.

A small Buddha temple, just a few sticks of incense, what can happen? You can't just take my life, right?

Besides, he was entrusted by the white-robed Xu Ye, what happened, the white-robed Xu Ye shouldn't stand by and watch, right?

Bai Gu forcibly suppressed the strangeness in his heart, bowed three times to the Bodhisattva clay statue, and then inserted the three sticks of incense into the incense burner on the incense table.

Although the young monk on the side did not show any expression on his face, he still had some resentment in his heart.

Because if pilgrims want to offer incense sincerely, they need to kneel on the futon to worship the Buddha statue.

Bai Gu stood with incense, which in the eyes of the young monk was a kind of disrespect for the Bodhisattva Buddha statue.

It's just that what about the pilgrims, how can they manage it if they are just a little monk? Just look at it, and bear it with the awkwardness in your heart, but it's also a living person who is difficult to see on weekdays, and a pilgrim who can accept incense money, but don't let him run away.

Otherwise, he can only barely maintain his daily life by relying on the annual salary sent by the Buddhist court every year. If you want to improve the food a little, you can only count on pilgrims to pay for incense.

But where the birds don't poop, it's hard to see even a living person, let alone pilgrims, on weekdays.

It has been more than four years since the young monk came here, and he has only seen three of them.

A crazy scholar.

A poor jingle passer-by.

And there is today's white loneliness.

Now the young monk is counting on Bai Gu to leave some incense money so that he can buy some baked cakes or pickles to improve his food.

I eat cold wild vegetables every day, or boiled noodles in clear water, and I am really tired of eating.

Just now when he saw the ten taels of silver that Bai Gu had taken, the young monk was actually very excited in his heart. But in order to maintain the image of the monk, the young monk tried to hold back.

It's not that he's greedy for money, it's just that he really can't eat the food he had before, and he is eager to improve the food.

Bai Gu glanced at the clay statue of the Bodhisattva, his brows furrowed slightly, but he still folded his hands again and bowed.

The strangeness in Bai Gu's heart just now reached its peak when he was incense, as if an alarm bell sounded in his ears, trying to stop him from incense.

It's just that when Bai Gu inserted the three sticks of incense into the incense burner, the uneasiness in his heart disappeared without a trace, as if he had never come.

This made Bai Gu very confused.

Bai Gu's intuition has always been very accurate, and he has almost never made a mistake.

But today...... What's going on?

It's just that Bai Gu quickly cleaned up his mood, put away the small expression on his face, turned to the young monk and saluted, "I've finished the incense." ”

Then Bai Gu took out two ingots of ten taels of silver and handed them to the young monk, "This is my little incense money, please accept it." ”

Because there is nothing else on the incense table except the incense burner and incense ash.

Incense box or something, not even a shadow.

The young monk smiled and nodded, took the silver with both hands, and then folded his hands and said, "Thank you for the benefactor's kindness, the little monk will pray for you, and the Bodhisattva will bless you." ”

The expression on Bai Gu's face remained unchanged, "If I don't give this incense money, there will be no blessings and blessings?" ”

The young monk was stunned for a moment, and then embarrassment appeared on his face, "Not really, the incense money is given out voluntarily by the donor, but the blessing and blessing will always follow the donor." ”

It's been too long since I've seen living people and pilgrims, and I'm still not very skilled in business.

Bai Gu didn't bother to tease the young monk, and waved his hand, "Forget it, I'm just joking, don't care too much." Let's go. ”

The young monk hurriedly sent Bai Gu out of the temple gate, "Donor go slowly." ”

Looking at Bai Gu's departing back, the young monk felt a little complicated in his heart.

What a strange pilgrim, but if you can pay for incense, you are a good pilgrim!

It's finally time to improve your food!
