Wu'an County is either big or small. After staying here for more than a year, Li Xun seldom wandered around. He knew some places, but he had never been there.

There are not many interesting places in Wu'an County, and there is nothing interesting. However, there is one place that many people often go to on weekdays, and that is Bailing Temple on Lingtai Mountain in Wu'an County. I heard that there is an eminent monk in the temple.

Buddhism is very powerful and can save people from disasters. It is miraculous. However, Li Xun does not believe it very much. Seeing is believing and hearing is false. If you have not seen it, don't believe it easily.

Lingtai Mountain is about thirty miles away from Wu'an County. Li Xun was in a good mood, so he took Ouyang Li and Jiang Daxiong and rode towards Bailing Temple. The situation in Wuzhou is now very stable, and more and more people are going to the mountain to worship Buddha.

I got up and walked along, with people coming and going, so lively.

After walking for more than an hour, Li Xun and others finally arrived at Bailing Temple. Bailing Temple was not big and consisted of more than thirty houses. Most of the houses were dilapidated and messy. A breeze blew by, making the houses rattle.

It was noisy, as if it might collapse at any time.

Jiang Daxiong, who was standing nearby, said a little strangely: "There are many people who come to offer incense! It is said that the income of the temple should be good. How can it be so chaotic?"

Li Xun smiled slightly and said: "Wars are turbulent and we live in troubled times. Being alive is already a good thing. Food and clothing are a dream. Where can we have extra money and food to donate to the temple?"

Ouyang Li said softly: "My lord is saying that in troubled times, it's good to be alive. When I was a child, my family was very poor and I often couldn't afford to eat, so I often went up the mountain to steal food, offerings, and wild vegetables from the temple. As long as I could eat it, some temples

The monks are actually very good. I was often caught by them, but they never beat me. They patiently persuaded me and sometimes even gave me some food."

Li Xun nodded and said with a smile: "Let's go in! This is my first time in a place like this!" After saying that, Li Xun got up and entered the temple.

Entering Bailing Temple, you immediately see a copper vat several meters long and wide placed in the middle of the square. There is a house not far away in the east direction. People come and go, and people keep coming out of the room.

They walked to the copper vat in the middle of the square, knelt down and bowed several times, murmuring something, maybe praying for something! Then they inserted the incense in their hands into the soil in the copper vat, and then left.

The incense in the temple was very prosperous, and the house directly in front of the copper vat was crowded with people. Those who couldn't get in had to stand outside and wait in line. Li Xun looked over there and walked towards the house with some curiosity.

, the door was crowded with people, Li Xun couldn't get in at all, Ouyang Li came closer and said: "Master, there are too many people, why don't I and Daxiong drive them away! With so many people, how long do we have to wait in line?"

Li Xun shook his head and said: "Forget it, I never believe in these things. I came here just to relax. Since we can't get in, let's go back after wandering around!"

Ouyang Li nodded, knowing Li Xun's character and didn't say anything.

At this time, a monk in his fifties came out of the house. Li Xun stretched out his hand to stop him, "Master, please stay!"

The monk looked at Li Xun, bowed his hand and said, "Amitabha, is there something wrong with the donor?"

Li Xun also bowed his hands, took out a piece of gold about the size of his thumb from his arms, handed it to the monk and said: "My Excellency, Li Xun, I accompanied my friend to the mountains today. After traveling for dozens of miles, I feel a little tired. Can you please help me?"

Master, could you please lend me a room to rest for a while?"

"I see, there are many vacant rooms in this temple, but they are a bit dilapidated. If the donor doesn't mind, just come with the poor monk!"

The monk nodded and took the gold. His face suddenly became happy. After the Dashi Empire occupied Wuzhou, it persecuted Buddhism very seriously because of its own religious beliefs. The Bailing Temple was able to survive because of its sacrifice.

Many, many. Even so, in recent years, fewer and fewer people have come to offer incense, and even fewer people have been generous. Until last year, Wuzhou returned to the Jin Dynasty, and a large number of Han people moved to Wuzhou. Tianlan Sect was affected by

Suppressed, the incense in Bailing Temple gradually improved.

Li Xun smiled, waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, we will rest for a while and then leave. Master, there is no need to worry."

"In that case, all donors, please come with me!"

Although the room looked dilapidated, the facilities were still clean. The sound of Buddha chanting could be heard all around. I didn’t know which monk was praying nearby. The monk took Li Xun and others to a house and asked someone to bring a large room.

He bought a pot of tea and some pastries, and then left on his own, but then a young monk arrived and was waiting on him. It seemed that no matter where he went, having money was different.

The road up the mountain was not easy. Li Xun had just recovered from his illness and his physical strength was not very good. He was really tired from the journey.

Li Xun sat down on the couch, picked up the big teapot on the table and drank directly from it. The tea was cool, obviously from the cold. After a few big sips, Li Xun felt refreshed all over his body, and the fatigue all over his body was swept away.

And Guang couldn't help but scream a few times with joy!!!

Ouyang Li sat aside, drinking tea silently, while Jiang Daxiong grabbed the pastries on the table and ate them.

Li Xun said with a smile: "This temple is a bit run down, but the tea is good. I will ask the monks in the temple for advice later when I have the opportunity."

The young monk standing aside chuckled and said: "The owner of the incense does not know something. This tea is called Qingling. It is a unique specialty of our Bailing Temple. The seeds were brought back by Zen Master Huiqing from the northernmost place of the Dashi Empire.

"There are a lot of this kind of tea on the mountain. If the incense owner wants it, the poor monk can collect some and give it to the incense owner."

Li Xun snorted, nodded, and said: "If it's convenient, master can ask a few more people to help and try to get as much as possible. I like this tea very much. Of course, I won't ask for your things in vain."

, the price is easy to talk about.”

The two talked for a while.

Li Xun turned around and saw Ouyang Lizheng listening to something with a confused look on his face, so he asked aloud: "What's wrong?"

Ouyang Li frowned and said, "Master, have you heard the Buddha's voice?"

Li Xun laughed and scolded: "This is where monks live, so of course there will be chanting. What's all the fuss about?"

Ouyang Li shook his head and said: "Master, I'm wrong. This monk's Buddhist language is a bit strange. It doesn't seem to be the language of my Jin Dynasty."
