Chapter 956 Liangshan Temple (1)
The sky was gloomy, and the color of the sky changed from its azure face to a color that looked like water soaked in a dirty rag.
After breakfast, Lu Bai heard that Qi Hao was going to Liangshan Temple, and persuaded him, "Master Shizi, seeing as it will rain this day, shall we go to Liangshan Temple another day?" He was not afraid of assassins, but worried that Qi Hao would get wet Rain and cool.
Qi Hao smiled and said, "It will be hot when the sun comes out, and the weather is just right now." He will not change the decision.
Lu Bai said disapprovingly: "Even if the sun is out, the mountain is very cool. And once it rains, the mountain road is bumpy and difficult to walk, and we may not be able to return by then."
"If I can't come back, I'll stay on the mountain for one night. I've been busy during this time, so I just took a rest." Even if it doesn't rain, he will stay on the mountain for one night. It was just that it was inconvenient for him to tell Lu Bai.
Lu Bai was speechless, it would be better to rest at home, why did he go to the mountain. Lu Bai couldn't, he could only look at Yi Kun and Yu Zhi, hoping they could stop them. It's a pity that the two of them didn't seem to see his eyes.
After breakfast, everyone set off for Liangshan Temple. When he set off, Lu Bai watched Qi Hao get on the horse, a look of doubt flashed on his face.
Feeling someone watching him, Qi Hao turned around. Seeing that it was Lu Bai, he nodded slightly towards him.
After leaving the city, Lu Bai rode to Yi Kun's side and said in a low voice, "Boss, why didn't you stop Shi Ziye?" If it wasn't for Shiziye, he would have said that his brain was flooded. In case of heavy rain, don't be drenched in soup.
Yi Kun glanced at Lu Bai and said, "Today is the sacrifice of the great-grandfather of the eldest son." After the elders pass away, the descendants will go to the temple to worship him.
"Oh, that's it!" He said that the prince has always acted in a way, why is it so strange this time, so it is.
Liangshan Temple is located on the top of the mountain. The mountain road is not easy to walk, it is bumpy. However, along the way, the ancient trees are towering, the grass is green, and the scenery is still very good.
Feeling the coldness on his face, Lu Bai touched his face and said, "Master Shizi, it's raining." It's really a crow's mouth, saying that it's actually raining when it rains.
Yi Kun said loudly: "Go faster and arrive at Liangshan Temple before the heavy rain!" Everyone knew that it was likely to rain in such weather, so everyone brought rain gear.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. When it reached the middle of the mountain, the rain rolled down like beads with broken strings. Although it didn't hurt when it hit people, it was also uncomfortable. Moreover, such a heavy rain made their vision a little blurred, and they could not see clearly from ten meters away.
Yi Kun was a little worried and said to Qi Hao, "Master Shizi, shall we stop and rest for a while? We will go up the mountain when the rain stops." God is true, why did it choose to rain today! It's hard to walk in the rain.
After about half an hour, the rain stopped. Although he suffered a lot of crimes, the air after the rain was particularly fresh, and the sky seemed to have been cleaned, blue and blue.
Lu Bai pointed to the sky and said, "What a beautiful rainbow."
Yellow, red, orange, green, blue, cyan, and purple, the seven colors are intertwined and radiant, and they hang across the blue sky.
Qi Hao smiled and said, "It's beautiful, and the rain this time is worth it." It's rare to see such a beautiful sight, and the only pity is that I can't share it with my family.
Originally, the mountain road was not easy to walk.
Qi Hao waved his hand and said, "Get off the horse and go up!" He was so upset that everyone wanted to vomit, he might as well go!
Yi Kun hesitated and said, "Master Shizi, if you go up the mountain, you may not be able to make it to lunch." The original departure time was relatively late, and the journey was delayed for so long.
It's definitely not going to be time for lunch if you walk up there now.
Yu Zhi said by the side, "I brought dry food." Dry food and water, as long as he goes out, he will prepare it.
Lu Bai said cheerfully: "It's still Master Yu, you are careful." Yu Zhi said very little, but everyone was working for the palace, and there were no disputes of interests, so they got along very well.
After walking for about two quarters of an hour, everyone heard a distant bell. Lu Bai said with a smile: "I can hear the bell, it should be coming soon."
Yi Kun said with a smile: "The bell of the temple travels far. We won't be able to reach the top of the mountain within half an hour."
As Yi Kun expected, the group walked for more than half an hour before reaching the top of the mountain. By this time, it was already the end of noon.
A long stone road, winding and winding, has been extended to the main entrance of the main hall.
Lu Bai touched his nose and said, "It's not that Liangshan Temple is the largest temple in Mianzhou, how come there are no pilgrims?" It was too deserted, how could it be the largest temple in the prefecture!
Yi Kun said angrily: "Mianzhou was hit by a disaster, and it's raining again today, where are the pilgrims from?" Yi Kun also accepted Lu Bai's stupidity from time to time.
Lu Bai touched his nose and stopped talking.
The apricot-yellow courtyard walls, the blue-grey ridges, and the majestic doorway are solemn and solemn. On the top of the Daxiong Hall, there are three red-gold characters inscribed with 'Liangshan Temple'.
A little novice in the hall was a little scared when he saw so many people, but he was even more afraid of being punished for not being allowed to eat for a day. Boldly walked up to Qi Hao and his party, the little novice folded his hands together, looked at Qi Hao, who was wearing a green bamboo robe, and said, "Is the donor here to offer incense?"
Lu Bai found this question amusing: "What can you do here if you don't come to the temple to offer incense?"
In fact, it is not surprising that the little novice asked this question, mainly because everyone was wearing a sword. Ordinary pilgrims, how can it be this posture.
Qi Hao nodded lightly and said, "Today is the sacrifice of my great-grandfather. I will give him incense and light an ever-bright lantern."
Seeing Qi Hao and Yan Yue's expressions, the little novice also relaxed: "Donor, please come here."
Arriving in front of the Daxiong Palace, Lu Bai was a little nervous for some reason, and he straightened his waist unconsciously.
Qi Hao stepped into the hall with one foot, and saw a 'Tathagata Buddha' with a black bead on his head and stretched out his fingers. There were Guanyin Bodhisattva and eighteen Arhats beside him.
The little novice asked Qi Hao, "Does the donor want to burn a big incense?" He also asked Qi Hao in luxurious clothes. Generally, rich people come to incense, and the first incense sticks are made of big incense.
Qi Hao nodded.
The little novice was secretly delighted, if you burn a big incense, you will definitely get a lot of money for sesame oil. After the apprentice found out, he would definitely reward him, but he didn't know what he would reward. In other words, since the host took in those orphans, their sons have not been well. Every day with green vegetables and tofu, my face turned green.
After the incense was served, Qi Hao donated two hundred taels of sesame oil, and then went to light the lantern.
After worshiping the Buddha, it was already time for Shen. Qihao said to Abbot Wuchen: "Master, it's too late now, and if we go back, the city gate must be closed. Master, we want to stay here for one night and go back tomorrow morning."
Abbot Wuchen is a kind-hearted old man. Hearing Qihao's words, Amitabha Buddha folded his hands together and said, "Follow me, little benefactor."
Qihao didn't show his identity to Wuchen, but just looking at the clothes and the guards he was carrying, Wuchen also knew that Qihao's identity was precious.
Wuchen took Qihao to one of the best courtyards in the temple. This yard is very spacious, there are eight rooms in total, and there is more than enough room for the next group of people.
There are two linden trees in the yard, these two trees are tall and green, towering into the sky.
Qi Hao stood under the tree and looked at it and asked, "Master Wuchen, these two Bodhi trees should be a hundred years old, right?" After decades of age, they can't grow so tall.
Wuchen Amitabha said: "The little benefactor has good eyesight. These two bodhi trees were planted by the first abbot, Master Zhitong, and it has been more than two hundred years." In other words, these two bodhi trees were established from the temple. It has been there since.
Qi Hao was a little surprised and said, "Then isn't this the Zen courtyard of Master Zhitong?"
Wuchen nodded: "Yes. But that was more than two hundred years ago." This place has long been converted into a place to entertain pilgrims. However, ordinary people can't live in this yard.
Qi Hao invited Master Wuchen into the room and asked, "Master, how many children are there in the monastery?"
Wuchen Amitabha said: "There are one hundred and sixty-nine children." After the situation stabilized, some of the children here were taken away by their parents or relatives. Because the kidnappers defrauded the children in Yucheng in the past, relatives must have written proof and witnesses when they come to pick up the children. In addition, Master Qin took some people away and placed them in other places.
Qi Hao asked with great concern, "With so many children, do you have enough food?" It was just warm in April now. If it is in the cold winter and twelfth lunar month, these children are afraid that they will suffer even more.
Wuchen said: "Master Qin will send someone to bring food up the mountain every five rì." Most of the children's food is provided by the government, and they mainly take care of those children.
Qi Hao asked a lot of questions, and Abbot Wuchen was not impatient and explained to him in detail.
"Ming rì, I want to visit these children." The place where these children live is a little far from the courtyard, and it takes about a quarter of an hour to get there.
Wuchen looked at the tiredness on Qihao's face, and Amitabha said: "Then the donor has a good rest, and the old man retire."
After sending Wuchen away, Qihao went into the house to rest.
Lu Bai looked for Yi Kun, lowered his voice and said, "Boss, why do I feel that Shizi is not right?"
Yi Kun sighed, and quickly asked, "What's wrong?" This kid is quite sensitive.
Lu Bai shook his head and said, "I can't tell, but I feel that the prince is weird today."
Yi Kun patted Lu Bai's shoulder hard and said, "If you have time to think nonsense here, why don't you help Gengzi and the others fetch more water."
Lu Bai also felt that he was thinking too much: "Boss, we will cook for ourselves tonight, or will we still eat the meals provided by the temple?"
Yi Kun couldn't make up his mind: "I'll ask Mr. Yu and see what he has to say. Hurry up and fetch water, don't be late!" There is a kitchen in the yard, and a lot of firewood. Most of them were in the rain and had to take a hot shower, otherwise they would catch a cold.
Yu Zhi said: "Just cook the meals for a few of us, and the others will use the meals provided by the temple!"
Yi Kun asked worriedly: "If there is a problem with the food, only the few of us can't protect the safety of Shi Ziye." Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
Yu Zhi sighed: "If you are worried, go to the abbot and ask him to bring rice and vegetables over."
Yi Kun was really worried, and after talking to Yu Zhi, he went to find the abbot. However, the temple does not have fine grains such as rice and white flour, only some coarse grains such as millet.
Everything was checked and there was no problem, so I started cooking. After dinner, it was already dark.
Qihao was in the room and asked Yu Zhi, "Liangshan Temple is thirty miles away from Mianzhou. Why do you think Lord Qin put those orphans here?"
"Master Qin was worried that there would be an earthquake, and Liangshan Temple was unscathed during this earthquake, so he sent these people to the temple." After a pause, Yu Zhi added: "Those children suddenly lost their lives. Their relatives will definitely feel helpless, and having Master Wuchen and the monks to comfort them can also alleviate their pain and fear.”
Qi Hao sneered, but said nothing else.
"Aho..." Oak-hee woke up with a loud cry.
Yun Qing hugged Yuxi, patted her back gently and said, "Have a nightmare again, dreaming that A Hao had an accident?" This was the second time.
Yu Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said solemnly, "This is the third time, and it has never happened before."
"You are too worried." In fact, Yun Qing was worried too, but he didn't have nightmares.
Yuxi was silent for a while and said, "Ahao has been in Mianzhou for more than a month, and it's time to come back." Her heart was still hanging when Ahao didn't come back safely.
Yun Qing hurriedly said, "Then write a letter tomorrow and ask Qi Hao to come back." It would save Yu Xi from having nightmares and make him feel at ease.
The couple lay on the bed again, and at this time Yuxi didn't feel sleepy at all: "He Rui, is it right or wrong for me to let Qihao go to Mianzhou?"
"You are also good for Qihao, don't think about it." Seeing Yuxi's eyes like lanterns, Yunqing deserves to say: "Ahao acts as cautiously as you, and if Yu Zhi and Yi Kun protect him, I'm sure It'll be alright, don't scare yourself."
In front of outsiders, Yuxi, but Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, did not change his face. However, in front of Yun Qing, Yu Xi never concealed his true emotions.
Leaning on Yun Qing's shoulder, Yu Xi said in a low voice, "He Rui, I'm afraid. When Ah Hao died from the smallpox, he cost me half my life, if..." If something happened to Qi Hao, she didn't know she could Can't stand it.
The powerful and white-faced figure outside, but at this time, so helpless and panic, made Yun Qing feel distressed: "It will be fine, don't worry about it blindly. Otherwise, I will send someone to call Qi Hao back now. In half a month, he will be home."
Oak-hee's vulnerability didn't last long, and she quickly calmed down: "I called someone in the middle of the night, and I thought something big happened? Wait for tomorrow morning, and write a letter to ask Ah Hao to come back tomorrow morning." After many nightmares, Oak-hee also began to feel a little flustered.
After thinking for a while, Yuxi said again: "Wait for Qihao to come back, and then go to Linzhou City?" Yun Qing originally planned to go to Linzhou City in two days. Of course, Linzhou City is only the first stop, and there will be a trip to Xiayi after that.
"Okay" At this time, no matter what Oak-hee said, he agreed. (To be continued)
