In general, the cleanest building in a city is not the city lord’s mansion or yamen in people’s imagination, but an inn.
But this Wangxiang city is different. In fact, the entire southern country is different from other countries. The cleanest and best building in their town is always the temple.
Lu Yu likes to be clean, so he went straight to the temple with Xiao Ruan.
The main entrance of the temple is very large, and there is a little novice cleaning at the door, Lu Yu smiled softly: "Little monk, why is there no one here to enter the incense?"
The little novice monk was taken aback for a moment, and he looked around and found that he was alone here. The other party was obviously talking to him, so he hurriedly put the broom aside and said, "I am not a monk, I am a novice, and the monk is an eminent monk. It’s a title only available."
After saying this, he replied: "The donor must have come from a different place? We in the southern country pay attention to practice. We don't ask for temples or rituals. We can practice everywhere and at any time. There are good luck. If you want to enter incense, the same is true for home incense. of."
"Oh, it turned out to be like this," Lu Yu suddenly realized, and then smiled: "Then do you have a place for pilgrims to stay temporarily?"
"This is true, but I don't know why the donor wants to stay at this monastery?"
Lu Yu thought this little novice monk who seemed to be about ten years old was very interesting, so he said, "Why? Why? Um... I think this place is cleaner."
"This… "
The little novice smiled bitterly, and then said: "Then... Then, please wait a moment for the donor, and I will ask the abbot."
Lu Yu nodded, and then watched the little novice immediately ran in the door.
For Buddhism, Lu Yu also knew two monks. One was a friend and died, and the other was an enemy. He didn't know where he went.
So Lu Yu's feelings are a bit complicated, and he himself can't say whether he likes it or not.
Anyway, one thing is certain, not annoying.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the side door was opened, and an old monk walked out, nodded slightly at Lu Yu, and said, "Buddha of immeasurable life, the temple is bitterly cold, and the tea is light. I don't know why the donor wants to live here?"
Lu Yu smiled and said, "It should be clean."
The old monk smiled bitterly and said: "The poor monk is innocent. Although the Buddhists can't refuse people thousands of miles away, there are some trivial things in the temple today. It is inconvenient for the donor to stay and rest. I hope to forgive me."
Lu Yu blinked his eyes and said, "Oh, that's it. If it is reasonable, I shouldn't force it if you are inconvenience. But I just like cleanliness and quietness. It's really uncommon for me to come to this southern country for the first time. I’m used to it. You’re pretty quiet, so naturally you have to come over. The so-called Buddhism pretends to be the world’s affairs. Is it possible that even the two of us cannot pretend to be? Maybe you don’t understand me, I’m a person with special attachments and want What you do is generally done, sometimes more radical, sometimes calmer, but always achieves the goal, so... In order to prevent trouble for both of us, let me go in."
The old monk was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "The evil guest has been there since ancient times. If the donor can stand by himself, what's the harm in coming in? Please come in."
Lu Yu smiled and said, "The sesame oil money will not miss you."
The old monk Wujing smiled bitterly: "The donor said and laughed, one meal and one drink, no need for sesame oil."
"Haha, that's good, it's saved."
Entering the temple, it was really clean. There were trees in the courtyard, but there was not even a single leaf on the ground.
There is a large manor in the temple, which can plant some fields and bypass the manor. There is a row of nice-looking houses in the back. Those are obviously prepared for pilgrims, not for people in the temple.
It is strange to say that the monks in the monastery usually live in the Datong shop, sleeping more than 20 people on a bed. But the wing rooms for pilgrims will definitely be very good. Not to mention one person and one house, the contents are also complete, and it is much better than the average inn. Not to mention the daily incense, the furniture is also the old tree. People can really calm down.
After staying, the monks immediately arranged food and bathing. Apart from having no meat to eat, this place is really much better than the inn.
Xiao Ruan smiled and said, "It's really right to come here. Other places are not as good as here."
"Yes..."
Lu Yu made a sound like an old man, smiled, lying on a slightly hard wooden bed, but didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
After eating and drinking, while resting, he heard a loud noise outside. Lu Yu curiously stuck his head out of the window, but only saw a group of monks walking by the front courtyard, and then disappeared after a turn.
A monk was walking by Lu Yu's house, and when he saw Lu Yu sticking out his head, he smiled and said, "Junior is fooling around, but let the donor see a joke."
"Oh, it's okay, monks are also humans, and there are always moments of anger. Didn't it mean that the Buddha was three-pointed anger?"
The monk smiled bitterly and said: "The benefactor has a good opinion, so please let the benefactor have a rest, and the poor monk will go now."
After speaking, he really left.
He said it as if he was going to die, what had gone, made Lu Yu so speechless.
But... This is a reminder to Lu Yu.
The timing of this monk's appearance was a bit... strange, or a little too coincidental. Originally, he lived here by himself and everything was arranged properly. It is reasonable to have his own rest time. Why would he come here to take a look
When the monk walked away, Xiao Ruan whispered in Lu Yu's ear: "Master, that monk... has a very high cultivation base."
"Oh?" Lu Yu was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Really? How tall? He looks very young."
Xiao Ruan said: "Intermediate Congenital Saint-Rank? Um... Elementary Pinnacle."
"I'll go!" Lu Yu frowned, "Is this innate master stinking the street? You can see it so casually? In other words... The Southern Kingdom is not a big country at first, and Wangxiangcheng is not a big city. Just look for it here. A monk is the cultivation base of the innate holy rank, so I don't want to believe it. In this way, doesn't it seem that my cultivation base is so laborious, is it a bit in vain?"
Xiao Ruan covered his mouth and smiled and said: "The young master was determined to be a dead baby since he was not born. Even if he was born, he would not live much. As a result, the young master not only lived for such a long time, but also cultivated to such a high level. Such a force, if you want to talk about fame now, I am afraid that the young master is the number one celebrity in the world. Who dares to say that you are in vain?"
Lu Yu curled his lips and said, "This is also... Hey."
He turned his head to look in the direction that the monk was leaving, squinted his eyes, and then said: "This incident... is so weird. Even if it's a good fate, I want to see if this small temple is out. What happened."
Looking at Xiao Ruan, he smiled and said, "How are you doing with the hidden breath exercises?"
Xiao Ruan smiled and said, "I never dared to neglect a bit."
After speaking, the scimitar was sacrificed, and after a few quick strokes around the two of them, a mysterious and mysterious light lit up beside them, but it was not the kind of bright light that would illuminate other things.
Lu Yu looked around, then shook his head and said, "It's still a bit of a fire, it's not to blame you, I should teach you how to use the formation instead."
After that, Lu Yu stretched out his hand and added another formation beside him, blending with Xiao Ruan's knife.
Then the two smiled at each other and walked out from the front door.
Just when the two of them left, the monk who had already walked far turned around again,'passed' by a distance of ten feet away from Lu Yu and the others, and then looked at the window and the door.
And he said to himself: "These two people came to the temple in this troubled autumn, afraid that there must be a plot, do they also know the news of that incident?"
After speaking, he shook his head, frowned and left.
Even though the distance was so close, he didn't seem to see Lu Yu and Xiao Ruan at all.
