After listening to the gossip, Qiuli wrote down the name of the construction site in question, and it was not early.

At the entrance of the temple, the "pass" was displayed, and he walked in with the envious eyes of the pilgrims.

Qiu Li shook to the bottom of the nine-story tower, there is a small door here, and there are a few big words at the door: Pilgrims do not enter.

Qiu Li thought about it, she was not a pilgrim, she showed her pass, and the little monk at the door looked at it, "This layman, it's okay to go in and have a look, don't go into the tower." ”

"Okay, I'll go in a circle."

Follow the local customs, and when the task is not clear, Qiu Li will not find trouble on her own.

The body of the tower is black, and there are golden bells hanging in each corner of the tower, which is quite good-looking, Qiu Li raised his head, and the sound of the bell was in his ears, and in the distance, it was the chanting sound of the monks.

She circled clockwise around the tower, which was also refurbished, and the door was tightly closed, not knowing what was inside.

She folded her hands, followed the movements of the pilgrims, bowed, and then walked to the small door, thanked the little monk, and found a shortcut back to her own small courtyard, where the trees were luxuriant, and although it was summer, there was no feeling of heat.

Akiri opened the door and looked at the other rooms, until now, she hadn't seen anyone coming in or out, and she didn't know if she was the only one living in this courtyard.

I don't feel it during the day, but now that it's darker, I'm still a little panicked.

She looked at the sun, under the sunset, the whole courtyard was dyed golden, the yellow walls in the courtyard, inexplicably there was a sense of mystery, Qiu Li looked at the reflection of the glass on the roof, and heard that there were birds in the forest fanning their wings, and even the birds were about to return home.

Qiu Li was sighing, only to see the little fat dun Renyi carrying a food box, panting and walking in, seeing Qiu Li standing at the door, a smile suddenly appeared on the fat face.

"Master Qiu, you are at home, this is the dinner that my master asked me to deliver, I came over at noon today, I didn't find you, you eat first, I'll come back in an hour to get the empty bowl back."

Renyi has a bit of a chattering nature, and he said a long list of words in one breath.

Qiu Li was stunned for a moment, and quickly reached out to catch the food box, "Thank you, little master Renyi, I'll take it to the kitchen myself tomorrow morning, it's late, don't come over and get it." ”

"Hey, okay, Master Qiu, then I'll go back first."

Akiri smiled and waved her hand.

Master Zhiguang is not bad, obviously the monks don't eat for lunch, and he will take into account that he is the first day to come, and he is not used to the dining habits in the temple.

Qiu Li returned to the house and opened the food box, which contained a steamed bun, a lettuce, and a bowl of porridge.

Eating this refreshing in summer, washing your hands with autumn pears, the door open, blowing the evening breeze, drinking porridge, biting steamed buns, suddenly I have a sense of belonging to this temple.

An adult orange cat probed her head to the door, did not come in, shouted, stared at the steamed bun in her hand, Qiu Li pulled a small piece and threw it at its feet, the orange cat sniffed with its nose, bit it, turned around and ran.

"Don't run, there's more."

Before the words fell, the orange cat was nowhere to be seen, and Qiu Li smiled helplessly and finished eating the things in her hand.

Not long after, the night had begun to envelop the entire courtyard, and several flying insects crashed in and flew in front of the table.

Qiu Li closed the door at this time, the door has been open for so long, and no one has passed by, it seems that this courtyard is indeed her alone.

Turn on the electric light, the indoor light is warm yellow, driving away a trace of coldness, Qiu Li bought today, put it in different categories, changed the pillow towel and quilt cover, and when making the bed, she found two Buddhist scriptures at the head of the bed.

I looked down and flipped through it, and the scriptures of the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra and the Lotus Sutra were very old, and it seemed that the previous owner had read them a lot.

Akiri put away the scriptures and placed them on the table.

After washing, lie down on the bed and put down the mosquito net.

I looked at my phone for a while, turned off the lights, and fell asleep in a daze.

In a trance, she found herself standing in the dark.

Alone, she touched her perimeter, and the place was a passageway, with smooth stone walls on both sides, and there was an open space ahead.

She began to walk along the passageway, and after a long walk, there was no end in sight.

I don't know how long later, she suddenly heard a mournful cry in her ears, and her heart was instantly filled with sadness and anger, she crouched down and heard the underground river flowing, and countless voices were chanting the same scripture......

The body of the Buddha is born from hundreds of billions of merits, and the appearance is solemn, and the light is obvious......

Qiu Li struggled to wake up from the dream, the room was pitch black, the fluorescent display of the watch, at 3:40 in the morning, she turned over, wanting to continue sleeping, the fragments of the dream kept flashing, the brain became more and more awake, and the sound of drums and bells was faintly heard from the direction of the main hall.

She sighed and got up.

It was still early, she had changed her clothes, washed up, and opened the door.

Outdoors, the stars are shining, and the street lamps glow lonely in the shade of the trees.

She changed into her new sneakers, stretched her limbs, and decided to go outside for a run.

The air in the early hours of the morning was probably the freshest time of the day, and the climbing flowers on the wall were blooming brightly, and before she knew it, she ran to the edge of the pagoda, and the black pagoda body stood like a tall monster in the garden in the dark night.

The bells made a crisp sound with the wind, and she liked to listen to them during the day, but now she was a little irritable when she heard them in her ears, and she couldn't wait to go up and take them off.

In the distance, there were monks who were rushing in the direction of the main hall one after another, she looked down at her watch, it was half past four, and she was going to have dinner at six o'clock, so she hurried back to her hut and took a shower at random.

When he arrived at the kitchen, the three little monks were already waiting at the door, and Zhiguang was not there, and it seemed that he had already returned to his hometown.

Qiu Li glanced at the time, five o'clock, fortunately, not late.

Breakfast is simple, just make steamed buns, boil millet porridge, and serve two kinds of pickles.

There is a cooking machine in the kitchen, autumn pears prepare a good proportion of flour, the temple prohibits eating egg-based food, and if you want to eat steamed buns, you have to consider the proportion.

After the flour was kneaded, Qiuli began to make steamed buns, and the three little monks were not idle, boiling porridge and cleaning, including going to the canteen, opening windows for ventilation, and tidying up tables and chairs.

The little chubby dun who boiled porridge was benevolent, standing in front of the stove, sweating on his face.

"Renyi, have you been in the temple since you were a child?"

Qiu Li casually chatted with him.

Renyi's eyes lit up, he was not familiar with Qiu Li, everyone didn't speak, and he couldn't bear to make a sound.

At the moment, it was Chef Qiu who spoke first, and he replied without thinking, "I picked it up by my master, and we all picked it up and threw it at the door of the temple." ”

Qiu Li's subordinates took a moment and glanced at him, he didn't care, as if he wasn't talking about himself.

"There are a few children who enter the temple that are not abandoned by their families." Renyi explained himself, and then laughed, "Master Zhiguang treats us well, I eat enough every day." ”

This kid is optimistic by nature, Qiu Li smiled, "Why did your master Zhiguang suddenly go back to the countryside?" ”

"Renyi, come here and do me a favor." Rende stood at the kitchen door, staring at Renyi with a broom in his hand, and shouted, interrupting their conversation.

Renyi was stunned for a moment, glanced at Qiu Li, Qiu Li nodded, "I'm here to see the fire." ”

Looking at Renyi's back as he went out, Qiu Li thought thoughtfully, Rende had been at the door for a while, after all, he was just a young man, and he didn't know how to hide his footsteps.

So, is there something strange about Master Zhiguang's return to his hometown?

The weather in summer is always unpredictable, the morning glow has just rendered the eastern sky, the clouds have become thicker and thicker, and by the time the monks have finished their morning classes and rushed to breakfast, the raindrops of beans have already fallen......

Wait a little later.,Xiaozuo is in the codeword......
