Chapter 91: The Temple
It was only on the first day that Huang Qi and the others encountered a large force of troops relocated from Tongling Town, and on the second day, there were basically only scattered small groups of people left.
By the third day, they hadn't met a single person along the way.
On the way, he also met an official who accompanied the people to move, and when he saw Huang Qi and others, he also advised them to turn around as soon as possible, so as not to waste time, and the rest of the people were a little moved in their hearts, but when they saw that Huang Qi all smiled and refused, they all pressed it in their hearts and did not bring it up.
When those officials saw this, they no longer persuaded each other, after all, the Huwei camp was stopped there, and they would not be able to pass the pass at that time, and it was their own time that was wasted.
On the fourth day, they finally arrived at their tentatively planned destination, a temple on a hill near the town of Tongling.
Those officials had told them before, and now that even Tongling Town was completely closed, if they insisted on going down, they could go to that temple for a night first, and then see when they could be released.
If they miss this temple, they are afraid that they will have to spend the night outside.
Although it is called a mountain, it is a low mountain. The road to the hill is paved with gravel and is not too wide, but it is more than enough for a carriage to walk.
Hu Dali drove the carriage forward on the gravel road, and the wheels of the carriage crushed the gravel with a crisp clicking sound.
Huang Qi looked at the sky in front of him through the window, and the entire sky was shrouded in an evil yellow aura.
Beneath that sky is where Jin Zhen is.
Huang Qi looked at the sky solemnly, even if he was here, he could feel that it was constantly radiating to the outside world, exuding a dead and withered evil aura.
What is it that has so much influence.
Ever since he cultivated the Soul Dementorship to the fullest, Huang Qi's eyes had undergone some inexplicable changes, and he could see some things that he couldn't see before.
Just like now, whenever he goes outside a big city, he can see at a glance the huge "popularity" that gathers above the city like a white cloud.
There is also a demonic aura like the one above Hujiazhuang.
But the strange "qi" in the sky over Jinzhen now is even better than the "popularity" of a big city.
The people lived and worked in peace and contentment in the Great Song Dynasty, and the resident population of a big city was generally about 100,000, not counting those floating populations.
The huge popularity gathered by more than 100,000 people is not comparable to the evil aura above Jinzhen, and its horror can be imagined.
At this time, the carriage had already reached the outside of the temple, and Huang Qi stopped his thoughts and walked out of the carriage.
According to the officials, there is an old monk and a little monk in this temple, and for some reason they stay in the temple and do not want to leave with everyone. After all, the imperial court only asked all the people in Tongling Town to withdraw, and these two monks let them stay if they want to stay here.
It is said that the temple is very old, but it does not look dilapidated, and it is believed that it is constantly being renovated every year. The location of the temple is in a triangular shape with Tongling Town and Jinzhen Town, and the distance from here to the two towns is about the same, so as to facilitate the people of the two towns to come to worship the Buddha.
Huang Qi led a group of people into the main hall, the hall is quite simple, only the center is enshrined in the center of a kind Bodhisattva, is looking down at everyone with a compassionate face, two old futons in front of the Bodhisattva, and there is a large wooden fish in front of the futon on the left.
Huang Qi saluted the Bodhisattva, Hu Dali and Du Lao also followed suit, only Huang Zhen, who was bald, looked disdainful and didn't even look at the Bodhisattva in front of him.
If Huang Jin is here for another lesson, Huang Qi is not Huang Jin, although he can salute when he sees the Bodhisattva, it does not mean that he believes in gods and Buddhas, and he will not force Huang Zhen to follow him to salute the clay statue.
The object of his salute is always himself in his heart.
The hall was empty, and no one was here, so Huang Qi led the three of them to the backyard behind the hall.
Before he reached the backyard, a pleasant and crisp pipa sound came into everyone's ears, and Huang Qi sighed lightly and accelerated the pace under his feet.
After coming to the backyard, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old monk was sitting next to a pile of firewood, holding an axe for chopping wood, listening intently, and a woman in plain clothes was sitting on a stone bench with her back to everyone, holding a pipa in her arms.
"It turned out to be an unserious monk. ”
Huang Zhen's disdainful voice came from behind, he was upset when he saw the temple, but now when he saw this scene, his heart was even more inexplicably angry.
This sound directly interrupted the pipa in the hand of the plain-clothed woman, and the little monk realized that several people were coming, and quickly stood up with a red face.
Huang Qi stared at Huang Zhen fiercely, and Huang Zhen shrank behind Hu Dali in fright.
"Several donors. The little monk hurriedly put the axe away, stood up and saluted.
Huang Qi also smiled and replied: "The younger brother stubbornly spoke falsely, and collided with the little master and this girl, and asked the two of them not to care." ”
The little monk hurriedly said: "The donor's words are serious, the little monk doesn't dare." ”
The plain-clothed woman also turned around, her appearance was dignified, her eyes were like water, her long hair was simply tied together and lowered from her shoulders, covering her breasts, and a simple plain dress could not hide her beautiful appearance.
The woman held the lute, her mouth slightly open and pointed at it, then shook her head.
Huang Qi clearly saw that only half of his tongue was wriggling inside.
The rest of the people were still a little confused, and the little monk had already explained: "This female benefactor is already dumb, but she can't speak. ”
After listening to this explanation, several people suddenly looked at the woman with a trace of pity in their eyes.
It's a pity that such a gentle woman turned out to be mute.
The plain-clothed woman saluted everyone and left the backyard with the lute in her arms.
Huang Qi said: "Little master, I want to go to Yunzhou on this trip, and I heard that there is a plague ahead, so I want to spend a few days in the temple, and I hope that the little master will make it convenient." ”
The little monk touched his head and said, "So that's the case, it's okay to stay overnight, but my master said that it counts, but I can't." ”
Huang Qi asked, "So where is the master now?"
The little monk said: "Master went to the back mountain to collect medicine, looking at the sky, he should come back soon, a few donors please sit down first, and I will go to boil water and make tea." ”
There were a few simple stone benches in the backyard, and a few people sat down according to their words, Huang Qilian said that there was no need to make tea, and the little monk still ran directly into the kitchen with the chopped firewood.
Huang Zhen had just been glared at by Huang Qi for a while, and now he was about to move again, muttering in his mouth: "I have never seen a monk who still lets a woman live in a temple, and he still listens to the pipa in broad daylight, which is really unethical." ”
Seeing this, Huang Qi couldn't help but admonish in a deep voice: "Never make a direct judgment about what you see and make one-sided statements. You're ten years old now, and you're no longer an ignorant child. In the future, walking the rivers and lakes is no better than at home, and people outside are not as pampered and tolerant of you as your aunts and sisters. You must be cautious before you do anything! Otherwise, you will get yourself into trouble sooner or later! Do you understand?"
Seeing Huang Qi's rare sternness, Huang Zhen nodded with a white face.
Huang Qi sighed lightly in his heart, this younger brother grew up in doting since he was a child, and he will have to suffer some hardships in the future. I have watched him grow from an infant baby to the present, and I have already regarded him as closer than my brother in my heart, which is one of the rare bonds in this life, so I care about him so much, but I still need to sharpen it, otherwise it is really difficult to reassure.
