246 The earth and the water rise, and the dragon raises its head

The group braved the rain and returned to the camp.

The fifth brother had already moved their important belongings away, leaving only a few tents in place.

knocked on the mountain gate of Pujing Temple, and explained the reason to the monk Zhike, the fifth brother had already taken care of everything.

A few people braved the rain, first looked for a circle in the temple, the place is not small, except for a few halls and the backyard monks resting place did not enter, other places that can be seen have been seen, and there is no gain.

In the end, they had to go back to the meditation room where the pilgrims and lay people were staying.

The fifth brother is waiting for them here.

"There are no green onions, ginger and garlic in the temple, or I can cook you a bowl of ginger soup, now there is only hot tea, drink some to warm up first." What's the matter, what's the catch? ”

The fifth brother asked with concern.

"Hey, don't mention the fifth brother, I've found everything I should have looked for, and I've seen everything I should see, and finally I came to this temple, just now we walked around again, and there was still nothing."

Wang Qiang added tea to everyone and sat on the futon one by one.

"What are you looking for? I've figured out this temple and asked me. ”

The fifth brother is worthy of being a "social person" who will come out of the robe, and the way he walks the rivers and lakes is also very different.

In a short period of time, he not only made friends with the masters in the temple, but also explored the surrounding terrain thoroughly, ensuring that he could find a way out as soon as possible.

"Fifth brother, do you know if there is a water vein in this temple?"

Lin Yi was not polite, and asked directly.

"Water veins, what are water veins?"

"Rivers, lakes and seas are counted as large water veins, and streams and springs are counted as small water veins." Qian Sheng explained on the side.

The fifth brother raised his head and muttered for a moment, then shook his head.

"I didn't find the water vein you mentioned, and there are no springs around."

Just when everyone was disappointed, the fifth brother suddenly began to say:

"Does a well count?"

"Wells?"

Lin Yi sat up from the futon suddenly.

"There's a well in this temple?"

The fifth brother nodded.

"This is not an uncommon thing, it was originally a basin, and when there was no water pipe here, it relied on eating the old well water in the backyard.

Now they still make tea and get well water, and the master here said that every time it rains, the water in the well rises, and the water is muddy, otherwise we can drink the bamboo leaves soaked in the well water. ”

"The earth and the water are surging! Isn't this the water dragon we are looking for? Qian Sheng immediately came to his senses.

"Fifth brother, you have really helped us a lot! Where is this well? ”

Seeing that Lin Yi was so excited, the fifth brother hadn't woken up yet, thinking to himself how could a well make them so excited in the middle of the night?

"The well, right in the backyard, where the masters sleep in the temple."

When Wang Qiang heard this, he slapped him violently.

"Hey, we just passed by there, we just didn't knock on the door and went in to have a look, didn't we miss it?"

"Those places are not open to tourists in the first place, don't be timid!"

Bai Lu reminded in a whisper on the side.

"If you want to go in and have a look, it's not a problem, but I have to wait until tomorrow daylight, when the master is doing the morning class, I'll go and say hello and take you in to see it."

"Then I'll bother the fifth brother!"

Lin Yi raised the teacup and toasted the fifth brother with tea instead of wine.

"Seeing my brother, what do you need me to do, just speak." The fifth brother raised his glass in return.

Now, Lin Yi and their hearts are finally steady.

If nothing else, this well water is the key to unlocking this "hidden dragon's lair".

It was already three o'clock in the morning, and according to the routine of the monks in the temple, the time to do the morning class was around 5 o'clock in the morning-6 o'clock, and there were still three hours left, which was enough for Lin Yi.

I tossed with Chen Erwa until midnight last night, and I didn't sleep well in the second half of the night, but now my heart knot is untied and I can sleep soundly.

In the early morning, the night rain has stopped, the morning bell in the temple rings, and all the monks gather in the Daxiong Hall for morning service.

The fifth brother said hello to the master in charge, and took Lin Yi and them to the backyard to find the ancient well.

In order to make it easier to use, the railing of the ancient well was rebuilt with red bricks and cement, and only the wellhead still retains its quaint state.

When Lin Yi approached and observed, the wellhead was made of two boulders in pair, and a circle was chiseled in the middle, about one meter in diameter, and there were traces of smashing and knocking on the boulders, but these traces were very old.

The wellhead is also covered with moss, and because of the temperature difference, the wellhead is still emitting bursts of mist.

"It's this well, you see, the water in this well is still muddy, I heard the masters here say, the wellhead used to be in the shape of a dragon's head, the dragon's mouth was facing the sky, and then you know, it was smashed, and there was a base left."

The fifth brother pointed to the well water and said.

Qian Sheng approached and looked at the stone of the pedestal, and then reached out and touched the section.

"Not new."

Wang Qiang yawned and approached the wellhead to look down.

Because of the rainfall, the water level of the well water is almost overflowing to the wellhead, and the mud and sand on the surface of the water are so muddy that you can't see the situation below.

"The well water wants to be cleared and will have to wait a while. How's that, Lao Lin, do you see anything? ”

Lin Yi put away the compass and pointed to the wellhead:

"The hidden dragon is in the abyss, and when it encounters water, it is auspicious, and the hidden dragon raises its head and soars into the sky! That's it! ”

"What do you mean, this 'tomb of the eight kings' is built under the well? Isn't that really the eighth king? ”

"According to the inference of the "Hidden Dragon Sutra", this is indeed where the 'auspicious soil' is located, as for what is the situation under this well, we have not gone down, and no one dares to assert."

When the fifth brother heard this, he looked at Lin Yi and them with an incredible face.

"Are you going down into the well?"

Lin Yi nodded.

"However, it's not now, so this matter may still have to trouble the fifth brother."

When the fifth brother heard this, he reached out and hugged his hair.

"This thing is not very easy to do, there are more masters in the temple, and this is a place for them to rest, you guys are making such a big move here, it's a bit troublesome."

It's not that he shirks it, the situation is indeed as the fifth brother said, and it is not so easy to separate these monks.

Seeing that his face was embarrassed, Qian Sheng walked in front of the fifth brother.

"We can donate some incense money to the temple, and I also checked, this Pujing Temple belongs to the Zen lineage, we can ask these masters to visit Zhongzhou Shaomu Mountain, where is the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism"

"Yes, yes, your method is good, I'll discuss it with the masters when they finish the morning class."

"Then bother the fifth brother to make a trip, if it works, we will immediately book a plane ticket for the masters, the sooner the better!"

Qian Sheng's method is indeed more secure, when the temple closes the mountain gate and branches the monks and tourists, for them, they can throw off their arms and work, and they will not have so many worries.

When the masters finished their morning class, the fifth brother went over to communicate.

When he heard that someone had donated incense, the master in charge was of course very happy, and when he heard about it, he asked them to go to the ancestral court to pay respects.

This time, it bought Lin Yi and them three days of precious time.
