Gohosa Temple got its name from the fact that it is located on the mountainside of Goho Mountain. The five peaks are shaped by the middle finger, and the mountain is the central axis. The buildings on the flat ground on the mountainside are antique and dotted. The two doors of the temple were open, and there was a solemn atmosphere in the incense.

Visitors step into the temple together, and a huge incense burner is facing the temple gate. The air is filled with the calming scent of sandalwood. The eyes of the college students were full of piety, and they couldn't help but close their mouths and want to blurt out "nothing but that".

While he was busy burning incense and making wishes, Zhang Saiwen climbed the stairs and went straight to the temple's Daxiong Treasure Hall. The golden Buddha statues on the walls of the main hall are lifelike. Below the largest Buddha statue is a colorful thangka.

Some monks lowered their eyebrows and whispered to the good men and women kneeling on the futon. The kneeling expression is focused, and the four big ones with lowered eyebrows and eyes are empty. Well, at least it looks like the big four are empty.

Zhang Saiwen fiddled with Thangka absent-mindedly. His hands were busy, and his eyes were busy. After hastily writing down the layout of the hall, he walked backwards, and by an hour the footprints had spread all over the open part of the temple.

Seeing the sunset, the college student in Xishan hadn't waited for the good big brother who invited him to drink water. After a while, he left in a huff before the temple closed for guests. What he didn't know was that his good big brother was thinking about it with a bowl of rice at the moment.

I asked the master on duty, and even the little novice who swept the floor in the backyard asked. Until the rice bowls in the dining hall were served, there was still no one who could help.

Zhang Saiwen sent the pumpkin pieces in the meal into his mouth inch by inch like a rodent, and after sending the second pumpkin, he made a decision.

He decided to stay.

The next day, I continued to walk around the flowers, and after walking the open part of the temple again, I slipped through the woven bag and looked at the layers of wood carvings in the corners of the house. In the second half of the day, I ran to the chanting hall to listen to the Buddhist scriptures, and as soon as I heard it, I heard that the dining hall was open.

Stay again after dark.

On the third day, Zhang Saiwen was squatting in the Zen garden behind the temple, teasing the koi fish among the water and grass. The monk on duty on the first day took the initiative to come over, and he folded his hands together and chanted a Buddha name to Zhang Saiwen and asked:

The benefactor, the presiding officer of our temple is indeed in retreat to comprehend the Buddhist scriptures. I don't know if the donor has anything to do, and if the little monk can help.

Zhang Saiwen continued to squat on the edge of the artificial pool and tease the koi carp, without raising his head. replied lightly, Master, you can't help me. I am the old man of your presiding master, and it took many twists and turns to find a place.

I'll wait for you to preside over the customs, and I'll show you all the costs of pending orders and incense candles.

The monk's eyes were blank, and he bowed and retreated. Zhang Saiwen stood up, picked up the woven bag, and walked around twice.

He began to try to push open some of the doors that looked like they had been dusty for a long time. After pushing away a number of vacant monks' houses, the little novice who was sweeping the floor in the backyard hurried over.

It seems that the little novice has been reminded. He neither greeted Zhang Saiwen, nor did he mean to leave after a glance.

Just followed Zhang Saiwen from a distance, Zhang Saiwen walked briskly in the previous interview, and also tried to sit under the eaves in a daze. The little novice was still not far away, and he was still in his sight.

The two walked to the Zen courtyard behind the temple again, and Zhang Saiwen stopped and began to feed the fish. Xiao Shami finally couldn't control it, and whispered from afar that he couldn't feed more.

Zhang Saiwen pretended not to hear clearly, and asked: Little master, can you come closer and talk? It was too far away for me to hear clearly.

During the novice period, Ai Ai took a few steps closer and said crisply: I said that the fish food should not be fed more, and the host will come to see the fish.

Zhang Saiwen's heart moved. said quietly on his face, oops, my ears are a little back, I'm sorry I still didn't hear what you said clearly. Are you saying that the host will often come and feed the fish?

Yes.

How often does the host come?

I don't know.

Do you know when the host last came?

I do not know.

Do you like these fish?

Like.

Do you come to see them often?

Well.

When was the last time you came?

Xiao Shami crossed his fingers and thought about it carefully, and said, "The afternoon before yesterday."

Did the host feed the fish here when you came the day before yesterday afternoon?

Well.

Little master, come here, I have something for you.

The little master leaned over slowly and said, "The master said that you can't ask for what you give."

What else did your master say?

The master said he couldn't talk to you. I am afraid that trouble will come out of my mouth, and that trouble will come in from my mouth.

Your master's words to you are right. What I gave you is not actually yours, it is for the host. Will you help me get something to him?

The little novice said that I had to ask the master.

Little master, do you know what an exchange is?

The little master shook his head, and after a while, his eyes were shining and he nodded. Zhang Saiwen said that the exchange is that I have something that I need your help with. After you help me, I will give you some food and play, which is called exchange.

Of course, the exchange between us can be told neither to the master nor to the host. You told them, and they wanted to exchange with me, I don't have that much to give them, can you understand me when I say that?

Got it.

Zhang Saiwen slowly took out a boxy bag of things from the woven bag. Then he said you help me to send this package to the host. If he doesn't tell you to come back, bring it back to me.

If he accepts it, if there is anything he needs to explain to you, come back and tell me, don't delay, come back quickly. I'll be waiting for you here, can you, little master?

The little novice didn't say yes, nor did he say no. I picked up my things and turned away, walked a few steps and came back and said you're just here waiting for me, right? The master told me to watch you, and I'm afraid that if I can't find you, the master will beat me.

Zhang Saiwen tried his best to squeeze out a harmless smile and agreed.

After about twenty minutes, the little novice came back panting and carrying the bag. After handing the paper bag to Zhang Saiwen, he said, the host said that he would receive it with good intentions, and the donor would like to return it.

Zhang Saiwen nodded and said I know. So, you take the bag too. The two packets were handed over to the host together, saying that this was an incense specially added by believers to the host, just to ask to see the host.

Xiao Shami's eyes were shining, he looked at Zhang Saiwen and said, "Donor, this is the second trip, right?"

Zhang Saiwen said yes, maybe there will be a third trip later. You can get a lollipop from me for every run. But I can't give it to you now, I'll find a way to hand it over to you after the afternoon iftar.

The second trip took about another twenty minutes. The little novice looked a little sluggish and walked back slowly, and the two paper bags were packed into a plastic bag. He handed the bag to Zhang Saiwen and said that the host said that he was not good at giving and did not gather merit, and the donor should go back.

Zhang Saiwen folded his hands and bowed solemnly to the little novice, saying that he had worked hard for the little master. At the end of this trip, after the evening fast, you drag out of the hall at the end, and I will give you three lollipops.

The little master took a courier envelope from him with a helpless face, turned around and went again.
