Rainstorms come and go quickly.

By the time the caravan reached the temple and dismounted to set up camp, there were only scattered raindrops left.

The temple is deserted, the grass and vines are everywhere, and the cobwebs are reborn.

Sun Heng got out of the carriage and came to Uncle Yun and Zhang Yan, and at this time, there was a subordinate on the side telling the origin of the temple in front of him.

"This Great Compassion Temple, the villain also came when he was young, and there were two monks in the temple at that time, an old man and a young man. ”

The young man of that year was gray-haired now, and when he looked at the temple surrounded by barren grass, his eyes couldn't help but show some doubts.

This man was a regular customer who often walked this trade route, and he was specially hired by the caravan to guide the way.

But listen to him continue to speak: "But over the years, the villain has not heard much about this place, I think it is because it is close to the Tiger Stream, no one dares to stay here too much, and over time, it will be abandoned." ”

As he spoke, he also shook his head slightly, as if he was puzzled.

It stands to reason that this temple is not far from the official road, and people who pass through here for business are tired, and they will still come in to rest for a while.

But he has walked so many times over the years, but it seems that he has never encountered this deserted Temple of Great Compassion!

"That's it. ”

Uncle Yun managed all the chores, and without waiting for Zhang Yan to speak, he had already instructed: "Clean up, the convoy will be stationed in the backyard, let's go in." ”

The last sentence was a gesture towards Sun Heng.

The gates of the Temple of Great Compassion had long since decayed, one leaning against the wall, and the other falling to the ground.

Green and yellow weeds grew through the cracks in the wooden door, and the red Buddha paint on it had long since been obscured.

Inside, the eyes are even more desolate.

The stone pavement is crooked and covered with moss, and if you step on it, you will fall to the ground if you are not careful.

The main hall is dusty, cobwebs are dense, and the murals on both sides are also mottled and blurred and difficult to identify, without the former charm.

In the middle of the main hall, only the Buddha statue in the middle of which is more than five meters high is still intact.

This is intact, and only comparatively.

The body of the Buddha statue is slightly tilted, as if it has deviated from the main position.

There was a crack on his cheek that came from the corner of his eye, making it look like he was crying.

Zhang Yan entered the main hall, looked up at the Buddha statue, looked at each other, and was suddenly stunned.

"Childe?"

Uncle Yun looked around, and when he saw Zhang Yan standing in a daze, he couldn't help but mention it in his voice, and said, "What's wrong with you?"

"Huh?"

Zhang Yan was stunned, blinked before saying: "I don't know why, when I look at this Buddha statue, it is as if he is looking at me, and my heart is inexplicably sour." ”

"Really?"

Uncle Yun raised his head and glanced at the weeping Buddha statue: "It's just that it's in disrepair and has cracks, and the clay Buddha statue is like this." ”

"Childe, it's you who are too sensitive. ”

He knew that his son-in-law had a deep relationship with Buddhism, and every time he went to a temple, he would feel close.

This is not surprising.

"Amitabha!"

Zhang Yan clasped his hands together and bowed to the Buddha statue, with an unbearable look on his face: "No matter what, it's always bad for the Buddha statue to cry." ”

Uncle Yun shrugged his shoulders and said indispensably: "Then wait a minute, let someone come and repair this Buddha statue." ”

"Hmm. ”

Zhang Yan put down his hand, swept his eyes in all directions, and couldn't help but rub the corners of his eyebrows.

For some reason, it seemed that as soon as he entered this temple, a gloomy feeling arose in his heart.

"Somebody has been here. ”

Sun Hengxing was behind the two of them, but his eyesight was the strongest, he glanced at the table and the dust on the ground, and said, "It should have been a short time coming." ”

"Childe, immortal master. ”

At this moment, one of the caravan guards hurriedly entered the main hall and said, "There is a very unreasonable Taoist priest in the backyard who occupies a row of courtyards, and it doesn't matter if I wait, but what about the rest of the son?"

"Oh!"

Uncle Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

............

By the time the three of them arrived in the backyard.

I saw a sloppy Taoist man pacing back and forth in the small courtyard full of grass with his hands behind his back, muttering incessantly.

"It doesn't make sense!"

"This is obviously the place where the three yin evil qi condenses, even if the enlightened bald donkey is gone, there shouldn't be no evil qi?"

"Am I going to go to dozens of countries and go to the territory of the Five ......Altar Sect to find evil spirits? , which is not a good place to go. ”

"But there is no three yin evil qi, my mana ......"

"Fellow Daoist!"

As he paced, a voice full of kindness sounded not far away.

Uncle Yun walked over with a smile on his face and said, "I didn't expect to meet a fellow practitioner here, it's really a blessing!"

The sloppy Taoist in front of him is not tall, a head shorter than ordinary people, but his face is full of beard, big ears are like round, and his eyes are like copper bells, and he has a terrifying appearance.

The aura on his body is not obvious, making it difficult to distinguish the level of cultivation, but it is like this, which should not be underestimated.

Uncle Yun's cultivation is already complete, and even he can't see through the cultivation of people, this person must be extraordinary.

"Huh?"

The sloppy Taoist raised his head when he heard this, he was already in a bad mood, but now he was interrupted by others repeatedly, and his face was even more gloomy.

It's just that since the person who comes is a cultivator, his cultivation is okay, and he can't get angry at will.

At that moment, his voice sank, and he said, "Who are you, and why are you here?"

"Zhang Yan of Yuhua Country has seen the Taoist. ”

Zhang Yan took a step forward and arched his hand: "We are merchants who want to go to the Northern Wei Kingdom, and we are stranded here because of the rain, and it is really our fate to be able to live in the same place with the Taoist Chief." ”

"Merchant?"

The sloppy Taoist glanced at Zhang Yan, who seemed to be surprised by his physiognomy and temperament, and only after a pause shook his head and said, "Buddhism exercises, it's a pity!"

Uncle Yun on the side was happy when he heard this, and he immediately felt close to him in his heart.

He also felt that Zhang Yan's practice of Buddhism was really suspected of being a pearl.

"The Northern Wei Dynasty worships Buddha, and Zhang Yanxin admires Buddhism, which is just right. ”

Zhang Yan didn't mind this, and said, "I waited here to ask the Taoist chief for a place to live. ”

"Wait a minute!"

The sloppy Taoist suddenly waved his hand, stopped Zhang Yan's words, and frowned: "You say, the Northern Wei Kingdom worships Buddha?"

"Not bad!"

Zhang Yan nodded.

"That's not right!"

The sloppy Taoist flipped through it with one hand, and a tattered book had already appeared in his palm, he opened it casually, rummaged for something on it, and said: "I remember that the lord and wife of the Northern Wei Kingdom are obviously disciples of Taoism, how can they worship Buddha?"

"This ......"

Zhang Yan took a step forward and whispered: "As far as I know, the worship of Buddha in the Northern Wei Kingdom only started more than ten years ago. In the past, it was indeed a reverence for the Tao. ”

"That's it!"

The sloppy Taoist priest made a movement in his hand, and his face showed a sudden expression: "No wonder, the last time people from the sect came here, it was twenty years ago, no wonder the record is wrong." ”

He put away the book and looked up at the three of them, his eyes flickering, as if he had thought of something.

Then he said softly, "You want a room to live in, don't you?"

"Exactly. ”

Zhang Yanzhi is worthy of being a handsome son, obviously a place without an owner, and he still asks for instructions honestly.

"It's okay to stay. ”

The sloppy Taoist put his hands behind his back and said, "However, until tomorrow, you will have to do something for me." ”

"This ......"

Zhang Yan is an honest person who will not refuse other people's requests, and he can't help but show hesitation on his face when he hears this.

"Fellow Daoist. ”

Uncle Yun on the side immediately stepped forward and said, "I still have to hurry, so it's really not appropriate to stay in one place too much." ”

"And ......"

He looked in all directions and said, "It is said that there are fierce tigers here, and they are not so safe. ”

"Heh......"

The corners of the sloppy Taoist's mouth twitched, and he said, "What, borrow my place to live, and you don't want to help at all?"

His eyes narrowed, and an astonishing aura suddenly appeared on his body: "As for the tiger demon......

"If he doesn't come, it's just a delicacy on the poor table!"

The aura on the Taoist's body rushed into the sky, and before he could make a move, the surrounding forests and trees that had already stirred shook together, and the aura between heaven and earth was in harmony with it.

It turned out to be a ......

"Doki!"

Uncle Yun's complexion changed, and his face had become a little stiff.

As for Sun Heng, his eyes shrank, and he muttered to himself in his heart: Mana is pure, and the Dao Foundation is in the middle stage.

The origin of this person is not simple.

"I'm not bullying the small. ”

After revealing his breath, the sloppy Taoist looked at the three of them again, slowed down his voice, and said, "At most, it will only delay your work for two days, and after the matter is completed, Li will still be grateful." ”

"This ......"

Zhang Yan smiled bitterly, bowed his head and said: "If the seniors have something, we naturally don't dare to leave without permission, so we just promise." ”

As soon as the voice of the chamber fell, there was a noisy sound at the temple gate.

There is also a woman's high-pitched voice, just like singing, high and low, twisting and turning, extremely sharp and piercing.

"What's going on?"

Uncle Yun frowned, and before the caravan guards in the backyard could go to inquire, the sound of a warbler and a swallow had already squeezed in from the front yard.

Everyone who came was a woman, all wearing heavy makeup and behaving lightly.

Especially the first woman, although she was born beautiful, but she was full of wind and dust, holding a pink Xiujuan, she said sadly: "Officials, we are all weak women, can you watch us suffer from the wind and rain?"

"Got rid of our bodies......"

"Uh......"

Before the woman finished speaking, she saw Zhang Yan's appearance.

At that moment, his eyes lit up, he had long forgotten the words in his mouth, and as soon as his delicate body softened, he fell over to this side.

"Childe, the slave's leg is sore, please give me some support. ”

“......”

Zhang Yan was stunned, and he was at a loss for what to do.

He was born in a wealthy family, although there are many female dependents in the family, but the rules are strict, how can he ever encounter such a thing.

"Smoke miasma!"

At this moment, the sloppy Taoist priest's face sank, and he suddenly waved his long sleeves: "Roll to the front, don't let the poor Taoist see it, it will dirty my eyes." ”

"Hoo ......"

With a wave of his long sleeves, a strong wind immediately swept up, and after the wind passed, many women in the field had disappeared.

I only heard the mournful voice in the front yard, but perhaps because I was afraid of the majesty of the Taoist priest, it was suppressed in an instant.

"The room you choose. ”

Swept away the woman, the sloppy Taoist priest turned around and walked towards a house, and said, "Tomorrow morning, do things with me." ”

"That's right!"

He paused and said, "Poor Dao Heavenly Fu Sect, Li Quanyi!"

Tianfu Sect, one of the great sects in the Northern Regions.

Although it is not as good as the Three Dao Seven Sects, it is by no means general!
