Volume 1 The Land of the Far West 128, Wuping Temple
Chen Jian was not very surprised, at that time in the Chen family, most of them began to talk about marriage at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and there were many people with both children in eighteen or nineteen, which was not unusual.
This house is not large, only ten silver coins per month, although it is more remote, but the family lives in it spacious.
Sun Lin shouted at the girl: "Xinlan, this is the engong who saved me that day." ”
When the girl named Xinlan heard this, she fell to the ground in an uproar: "Engong Dag, please accept the little girl's worship." ”
Because it was too sudden, and the other party was a young woman, Chen Jian hurriedly pulled Sun Lin and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, get up quickly!
The house also heard Sun Lin's voice, and two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, trotted out, and they both bowed down: "The grace of the father to save his life, the Sun family must be a grass ring and sacrifice his life to repay him." While speaking, Sun Lin was also pulled to his knees.
Chen Jianhur naturally didn't know that Sun Lin was not only the only son of the Sun family, but also became the pillar of the family and the main source of income when he arrived in Yihua City, where martial arts flourished and prices were extremely high. If Sun Lin has three longs and two shorts, and the family can't even use some fists and feet, it is difficult to say whether they can return to their hometown safely.
Saving Sun Lin is saving this whole family.
With tears in his eyes, his grandfather took out half a Muscle Pill with great cherishment, handed it to Chen Jianhur, who was embarrassed, and said in a trembling voice: "Lin Er said that tens of thousands of gold pieces, such a divine object, we are not willing to use it up, and we have some leftover, and now we have the opportunity to return it to Engong." ”
Chen Jian had lived in the Golden Snake Tribe for a long time, and it was not very strange for such a perverted economy, so he said softly: "This has a miraculous effect on external injuries, I still have some some, you still keep this half!"
For the gratitude of Sun Lin's family, Chen Jian was really a little overwhelmed and hurriedly withdrew.
The east of Yihua City is almost full of the houses of some large families, and there are even some very prosperous market business districts in the northeast corner, although it is not as good as the west of the city, but because it is very close to the wealthy, the business of all walks of life is also booming, and even the bun building has branches here.
When I arrived in the northeast of the city, near the mountainous area, there were gradually more mountain households, Chen Jian hurriedly inquired all the way and came to the Baozilou branch in the northeast district. Before he entered the second floor, he heard a cough from a person next to him, turned his head to look, and sure enough, it was Wang Chen, and next to Wang Chen was Cheng Mian, who had not been seen for several days.
Cheng Mian was carrying a bag of buns in his hand, and when he saw Chen Jian hurriedly coming over, he complained without scruples: "Forget it today, in the future, this kind of three-way thing will be lost, and try to have as little contact as possible." ”
The most familiar with the east and north of the city is Cheng Mian. The surrounding boundaries, even the inner courtyards of some other big clans, he turned over when he was a child, and he was caught, and those big families didn't feel much embarrassed in the face of the Cheng family, and they were children, so they simply didn't care much after coming and going.
Although the Nova Race can be regarded as a momentary event, and the weather is extremely sunny today, the temple has not opened its gates, even the side doors on both sides are closed tightly.
The gate did not face south, but east, right around the corner of a hill, and without a careful circle around the temple, outsiders could not even find the gate when they approached it.
Cheng Mian stood in front of the gate with a smile, pointed to the location of the plaque on the top of the arch that no longer knew where it was discarded, and said loudly: "More than ten years ago, the plaque that said Wuping Temple was still there. I jumped up the hill to the top of the gate, intending to step on the plaque and change it, not wanting the plaque to be rotten and falling off a big chunk by me. When I climbed down in a panic, the plaque had not been left on it at all. ”
"Could it be that the presiding monk of the monastery just watched you come arrogantly and went arrogantly? It's not cheap to make a plaque, and you don't come to pay a piece for your family's big business, and it's really not authentic to do things. I thought you had grown up to become a bully and a bully, who would have thought that you would have been deeply versed in this way at the age of seven or eight, admire and admire. Wang Chen sneered secretly.
Chen Jian hurriedly said: "The plaque is gone, hasn't the temple been changed for more than ten years? Is it that the monks inside are lazy, or are the children outside too naughty?"
If you are willing to study the Dharma, you will have a donor seat in the west. There was a creaking sound from the door, and an old monk opened the door with a rosary in his hand, no robe, no staff.
"In the next, it was polite. Chen Jianhur didn't understand the etiquette of Buddhism, so he only learned the old monk's polite way with his hands folded, and he didn't pay attention to the old monk's words of persuading people to worship the Buddha.
"A few donors, please come in!" The old monk politely introduced the three of them into the temple, glanced at the venison bun in Cheng Mian's hand, and did not guide him to burn incense and worship the Buddha, but politely turned around and left.
"There are only three or five monks in Wuping Temple, and it is time to eat, so the old abbot himself came to open the door. Cheng Mian stuffed a mouthful of buns into his mouth and ate them with relish.
Wang Chen scolded with a smile: "You shameless person, you come to the temple, you have to bring meat, you are not particular. ”
"Yes, you came to the temple with meat, which really doesn't make sense. Chen Jian hurriedly agreed.
It's just that Wang Chen quietly tossed for a while, a few porcelain bottles appeared in his hand, he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to say happily: "Fortunately, I brought a few pots of good wine, otherwise it would have been a waste of this delicacy." ”
Under Chen Jian's stunned eyes, Wang Chen divided a pot of wine each, grabbed some steamed buns, and ate and drank with relish. Eating in his mouth, he said to Chen Jian in a vague manner: "Eat, if you don't eat this meat bun in Jizhou, you are blind, and the monks inside also eat it." ”
Cheng Mian pouted, raised his head and took a big sip of wine, and said angrily: "There is a fucking phantom real cowhide, you can pretend to be anything, and you are not afraid of being robbed." ”
Chen Jian's stomach had already begun to growl, and seeing the two of them like this, he followed the local customs, and he also let go of his burden, and he was very happy.
Wang Chen snorted coldly: "There are buns that can't stop your mouth, if you want to, do you want to find your old man?"
Cheng Mian's face flashed angrily, and he shouted: "Don't take such a ridiculous person! It's easy to get addicted, you can try it!"
The three of them turned the shadow wall, this temple is very large, except for the central hall that sits north and faces south, the others are small buildings like side rooms. The couplets in the main hall have long become blurred, and it is impossible to see what the original handwriting is.
Looking west, a tall tower stood in a small lake, and from a distance, the view was strange, but there was no way to the tower.
Temples and other places, Chen Jian hurriedly went to the abandoned one on Central Street, and he didn't know much about the layout of normal temples, so he looked at the novelty everywhere.
"This hall is said to be called the Buddha's Hall. Cheng Mian took the two of them to the main hall and introduced them as they went.
The interior of the hall is extremely clean, and the golden Buddha statue makes people involuntarily feel a sense of solemnity. Around the main hall neatly lined up with some small Buddha statues of different postures, the whole look, the magnificent meaning is fully revealed, but the smell of incense is lighter.
"Originally, there were rumors in the early years that the main hall had a long history, and there was an extremely advanced martial arts inheritance hidden inside. Later, some big factions from Jizhou came here in turn, turned over these Buddha statues and lighthouses, and even dug three feet into the ground, but they didn't find anything. In the end, for the sake of face, he funded a few monks to re-trim it. Cheng Mian sneered, "Those sects are really indecent, and they actually dig at the feet of the Buddha." ”
After Cheng Mian finished speaking, he threw the remaining bun into his mouth, poured a few more sips of wine, ate and drank to his mouth, and did not forget to tap his mouth twice.
"It's a very chic tower, so why don't you visit it. I just don't see how the road goes. Chen Jian hurriedly felt that the tower was very novel, and wanted to go over and take a look.
Cheng Mian smiled: "Where is the road?
At this time, a sturdy middle-aged monk arrived in the hall, and when he saw the three of them, he didn't pay attention to them, and wiped the statues one by one.
The three of them wandered around the monastery, and the old and young monks of the monastery turned a blind eye and did not care.
"Did you go to pee on the top of that tower when you were a child?" Chen Jian suddenly wondered.
Wang Chen responded quickly, "I'm afraid of my wife's strength, nine times out of ten, I've been there, but I was accidentally pierced by the spire." ”
"Who said I'm afraid of my wife? When won't you give her a good obedience?" Cheng Mian seemed to have some aftertaste, but suddenly turned his eyes to Chen Jian and hurriedly said, "Those in your family are quite close to Xue'er, don't talk nonsense." ”
Cheng Mian walked, but he didn't keep his mouth shut, pointed to the top of the tower and said: "It's too late, it's fast, the spire almost fell down." I held it by one hand and stood back for the time being. I just don't know if they've fixed it, so I'll have to go up and see. ”
Before the words fell, Cheng Mian dragged the afterimage all the way and flew up. He lifted the spire with one hand and shouted, "Don't say it, they really repaired it!"
There are no other buildings around the lake except weeds, and it is extremely empty, not even a decent tree, and on the water surface of the small lake, many unknown flowers are densely swaying, exuding a rich fragrance of flowers. The unknown tower is in the middle of the small lake, and there is a wooden bridge leading to the base of the tower.
Nothing! Could it be that the man was just passing by the monastery?
"The spire is strong. Cheng Mian jumped down from the tower, clapped his hands, and smiled.
Wang Chen saw Chen Jian hurriedly facing the lake in a daze, so he pointed to those flower paths, "These flowers are called Jiumin Fanghua, although the flowers are not gorgeous, but the fragrance of the flowers is extremely strong. Several times I tried to dig up and plant at home, but I died within a few days. It is densely packed around the test stone, but it is extremely rare in other places. Strange to say, this small lake is untended, and they are living very well. ”
"Jiu Min Fanghua, the name is very good, but it's a little strange. Cheng Mian said, "Someone once explained the origin of this name, saying that this flower is extremely sensitive to environmental requirements, and the fragrance of the flower is extremely strong, so it is called Jiumin Fanghua." ”
"Jiu Min Fanghua?" Chen Jian hurriedly turned his head to look around again, and a sense of shock gradually appeared in his heart.
