After a while, Qin Di spoke: "If you are looking for it, you still have to find it." You girls, it's useless to stay here! Amei, you take them to the city to play. I stayed here with Yan Xue. I don't need to ask one by one, just by looking at it from hundreds of feet, I can tell people apart. ”

Qin Yue asked: "How can you tell the difference? Is it useful to look at the appearance? Yan Xue is so beautiful, I don't believe that there is a great monk who can be so handsome." ”

Qin Di explained: "Yan Xue has a special physique, half of which is from heaven and half from heredity. I have the general outline of Yan Xue's memory, and I can discern the spiritual root qualifications, as long as his father is still in the temple, I don't have to worry about finding anyone. ”

"Then why are you driving us away?"

"If there are too many people, the movement is too big, and those monks don't come out, I can't distinguish them, can't I rush into each meditation room and see them one by one?"

So, Gu Rumei took her three daughters and left Zhaojue Temple and went to the city to find a lively place to have fun.

Qin Di first looked at the high mountain outside for a while, and then led Yan Xue into Zhaojue Temple, checking each hall one by one.

Zhaojue Temple has more than 300 halls and houses, there are the main buildings such as the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Tianwang Palace, the Dizang Palace, the Guanyin Pavilion, the Imperial Book Building, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the Weituo Palace, the Wuguan Hall, the Xianjue Hall, the Singing Buddha Hall, the Arhat Hall, the Six Ancestors Palace, the Yishan Hall, the Liesu Hall, the Great Compassion Hall, the Wheel Zang Pavilion and other main buildings, as well as many relics pagodas, statues, portraits, stele forests.

At this time, the temple was not like the later tourist attractions, where outsiders were not allowed to enter if they pulled a rope or erected a sign. The monks are compassionate, how is it like a secular scenic spot?

Qin Di and Yan Xue walked around, and no monk came out to stop them.

However, they searched for a long time, but they couldn't find anyone.

When they walked to the Heavenly King's Palace, they met an old monk.

The old monk smiled and took the initiative to speak, and said: "The two little donors, since they are here, why don't you take two sticks of incense? The Bodhisattva here is very effective, and guarantees that all wishes will come true and smooth sailing." ”

Qin Di thought to himself: "It seems that it is not easy to find people without spending money." So he took three sticks of incense and put them in the incense burner, and put them in the merit box, and threw them into the ocean.

The ocean rolled into the box and made a "jingling" sound, which sounded very pleasant.

The old monk was very happy and said with a smile: "Thank you, little donor." ”

Qin Di smiled and asked, "May I ask the master, is there a monk with the common surname Yan in this temple?"

The old monk shook his head: "This temple only has a Dharma name, not a lay name." ”

Qin Di asked again: "Is there a Zen master with the word 'Yan' in the Dharma name?"

The old monk thought for a moment and replied, "Many years ago, there was a 'Master Haiyan', but he has already left this monastery. ”

Yan Xue's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again.

Qin Di asked, "Please tell Master Haiyan about it." How old is he, what does he look like, when did he come to this temple, and when did he leave?" As he spoke, he took out another ten pieces of ocean and threw them into the merit box.

The old monk became more and more happy, and said: "Monk Haiyan, this year should be fifty years old, square face, string eyebrows, clear eyebrows, white skin, three inches taller than me, he came to this temple in his twenties, became the master of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and did not leave until seven or eight years ago. ”

"And where did he go?"

"He's alone, he's going to Tianzhu on foot!"

Qin Di was a little surprised: "In this year, Tianzhu has declined, what is he doing in Tianzhu?"

The old monk said: "I don't know, I just heard that when he left, he entrusted a bamboo and wooden box to Master Xuanku of the Great Compassion Hall, you can ask Xuanku." ”

"May I ask where is Master Xuanku?"

"The old man will lead you. ”

After a while, Qin Di and Yan Xue met Master Xuanku.

Master Xuanku looked like he was only in his forties, and Qin Di could see at a glance that this person had a spiritual root in his body, and he was a cultivator, but his skills were very weak, and he was only enlightened by the spirit, and he had not even reached the first level of qi refining. It's just that because he cultivates Buddhism, all his cultivation is concentrated in the center of his eyebrows.

When Master Xuanku saw them, he realized that the other party was a cultivator, and he was also taken aback, and only after the old monk who had been introduced had left did he clasp his palms together and say, "The two donors are not ordinary people, but they don't know why they came here?

Qin Di said, "Let's inquire about Master Haiyan." ”

"Master Haiyan is my senior brother, although he is not very old, he is a high-ranking monk, you are looking for him for ......"

"There are worldly things that may involve him. ”

Xuan Ku's gaze swept over the faces of the two of them, and when he saw Yan Xue's eyebrows, he couldn't help but be shocked, and said, "I understand." What is this girl's last name?"

Yan Xue said: "My surname is Yan, and my single name is the word 'snow'. ”

A smile appeared on Xuanku's face: "It's rare for a girl to find here, if the senior brother is still here, he must be very happy." When my brother left, he left a bamboo and wooden box and asked me to hand it over to the visitor. Please wait. ”

He stood up, rummaged around for a while, and brought out a three-foot-long and two-foot-wide suitcase, which did not look like a Buddhist object, but like a suitcase for the laity family to travel in the early years, when suitcases were rare, and they were all woven of bamboo.

Xuan said bitterly: "Please leave the address for the two of you, in case the senior brother comes back, I will have an explanation." ”

Qin Di wrote the address of the magic capital, and then asked, "May I ask the master, why did Master Haiyan go to Tianzhu?"

Xuan Ku smiled slightly, and said: "Senior brother found some scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and he couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't find the presiding officer of this temple to be enlightened. So he trekked to Tibet and was going to Nepal and India to find commentaries on the scriptures. ”

Yan Xue asked, "Then when will he return?"

Xuan replied: "The monk can live wherever he goes, maybe he stays in India, maybe he stays in Tibet, and with his skills, he can be the head of a temple, and even the Dharma King of Tantra is more than enough." ”

The three of them talked for a while, and then Yan Xue walked out with a sad face.

Qin Di carried a bamboo and wood box and walked out of Zhaojue Temple.

The two came to the clean place outside the temple, Yan Xue opened the bamboo and wood box, and saw a stack of bay leaf scriptures inside, a white jade gourd, a bamboo whistle, a bamboo dragonfly, a dilapidated rattle, and a sachet sewn with dense stitches.

"Sir, I remember this bamboo dragonfly...... And this rattle ......"

There were tears on her snow-white face, and Qin Di couldn't bear it, so she stepped forward and patted her fragrant shoulder, wanting to wipe her tears for her, but she was a little hesitant.

Yan Xue was sad in her heart, thinking of her mother again, and tears flowed even more.

She saw Qin Di stretch out his hand, so her delicate body threw herself forward and fell into his arms.

Qin Di's body was slightly stiff, but he still hugged his soft body, and the warm fragrance of nephrite jade in his arms made people's hearts ripple, he didn't move, but his heart seemed to be touched.

After a long while, the sadness in Yan Xue's heart temporarily subsided, and her snow-white face showed shyness, and she hurriedly sat up straight and quietly packed up the things in the box.

Qin Di saw that there was still a letter in the box, so he reached out and picked it up and handed it to Yan Xue: "Open it and see if it was left for you by Ling Zun." It stands to reason that there should be an explanation in it. ”
