Chapter 98 Entering the Mountain Gate

The arrival of this man was just a small episode. After a few people rested, Cheng Xin proposed to go up the mountain.

There are several monks guarding the mountain in front of the mountain gate, who are routinely checking the passing pilgrims.

"Will we also need to check it out when we go up the mountain?" Wen Huimin asked in confusion.

Yan Wen'er glanced at her: "This is the rule to enter Wanguo Temple. No matter what your identity is, you can't bring a knife and weapon as long as you want to go up the mountain."

Wen Huimin pointed to a man who had just climbed the mountain: "Why can that person?"

"That's a woodcutter. Without a hatchet, what did he do on the mountain? Besides, that man must have been on this mountain for many years. The monk guarding the mountain knew him before he would let him in."

While the two of them were talking, Cheng Xin had already stepped onto the stone steps and came to the front of the mountain gate.

"Several female donors need to check the mountain according to the routine. Please come here, there are women who are specially inspected."

After hearing that it was a woman who checked, the few people lost their opinions.

The inspection was passed quickly, except for the sword in Mei Ran's hand that was temporarily retained, the rest of the people had no problems.

"Let's put the sword first, and we will come and pick it up when we go down the mountain." Cheng Xin said.

Mei Ran nodded. Even without a sword, she could use other bamboo branches and tree branches as weapons.

Because the royal family came to take care of the orders in advance, a young monk came to lead the way.

"Our Wanguo Temple is divided into three temples. The closest to the mountain gate is the place for pilgrims to burn incense and worship Buddha. It can be reached in half an hour. The second level is only for pilgrims who enter the temple to practice or live in a small place. It is located halfway up the mountain and can be arrived in less than half a day.

This last level is the residence of our temple abbots and masters. Those who ask for a visa must climb to the top of the mountain before the sun sets."

Hearing this, Cheng Xin looked at the far mountain. In the deep mountains, she could see the Shangshan Temple at the highest point from afar. It should be where the abbot presided over it.

"We are going halfway up the mountain."

"Yes, but the mountain road is difficult to walk. Several ladies might as well go to Yichong Temple to have vegetarian food and continue to go up the mountain."

For those monks who have been walking in the mountains all year round, this distance is nothing, but it may be difficult for these delicate ladies of aristocratic families.

Before going down the mountain, the master in the temple specifically told him to walk slowly so as not to exhaust the ladies.

Cheng Xin had practiced martial arts before and loved the sport of mountain climbing. But he thought that his body is indeed not suitable for long-term mountain climbing, so he should go.

A group of people slowly went up the mountain.

One hour later, five burly men came down at the foot of the mountain.

The leader was the bandit leader Jin Dadao. He glanced at the monks guarding the mountain with his eyes slightly darkened.

"His grandma's, there are still people checking it at the foot of the mountain."

"Brother, I've inquired. I don't allow knives to be brought in Wanguo Temple. Even woodcutters must be familiar with each other. People like us may attract attention as soon as they enter."

"Copperhead, what do you think you should do?"

"The man's letter said, let's disperse our actions, one by one, dress up as peddlers, porters, or farmers. Just one, don't pretend to be a scholar or a rich man."

Jin Dadao frowned: "What, there is still some specialty?"

"We don't look like the prince when we wear dragon robes, so don't be seen through at first sight!"

"Ah, I look down on others. I still have to dress up as a rich man. I can't become an official master. Can a grandfather still be a man?"

The little brother named Tongtou had nothing to say, because he had really seen a grandfather who suddenly became rich and was even more rude than his elder brother.

Fortunately, when they were robbing, they really took away some clothes from the squire of the squire.

"Then we shouldn't think about anything else, just pretend to be servants other than members."

The five of them disguised themselves at the moment.

...

Cheng Xin and others arrived at Wanguo Temple and saw several halls with the incense. They followed the little monk to a room, and soon someone served the vegetarian food in the temple.

The vegetarian rice is very simple, but the taste is pretty good.

But after taking a few bites, Cheng Xin noticed Wen Yunxian got up and walked out.

"Miss Wen, you don't want to eat, where are you planning to go?"

Wen Yunxian turned around: "I'm not hungry. You can eat slowly."

After saying that, she took Yueya out.

"What do you care about her? She is like this, she is always sneaky and different from what others do." Wen Huimin had to see Wen Yunxian, so as not to affect her appetite.

Cheng Xin is not trying to care about Wen Yunxian, but she knows the subsequent plot, and Wen Yunxian can encounter danger at any time when she leaves.

She gestured to Meiran, and Meiran nodded and went out.

"Miss Cheng, I see that you care about Miss Wen very much, but I don't know how you met?" Xu Shan asked.

"I can't talk about concern, so I feel that we will continue to go up the mountain after dinner. I am afraid that she will go far and delay her trip at that time." Cheng Xin said lightly.

Wen Huimin nodded repeatedly: "That's right, we are together, so it's hard to leave her alone on the road. When the news spread, she should say that we are bullying her."

After hearing the tone of Cheng Xin and Wen Huimin, Xu Shan thought they didn't like Wen Yunxian. But she was a little confused about this. If she really didn't like it, why would she still bring Miss Wen on this trip?

She had heard about Miss Wen and Miss An Guogong before, and also knew some inside information. If it were really as analyzed by my mother at home, these two ladies were deliberately taking Miss Wen to come, there might be some unspeakable purpose. If Miss Wen was going to the mountain at that time, what happened to Miss Wen at that time...

So was she pretending to be unfair, or was she trying to remind Miss Wen?

"Well, this noodles are delicious, the master will give me another bowl!" Yan Wen'er said.

The little monk shook his head: "It's too much, but too little, Miss, there's only one bowl for each person."

"If Miss Wen doesn't want to eat it, I'll eat her bowl." Yan Wen'er didn't see Wen Yunxian moving her chopsticks just now, so she asked the maid to bring the bowl over.

"It's really edible..." Wen Huimin muttered in a low voice.

"My mother said that it is a blessing to be able to eat!" Yan Wen'er said that, and continued to eat noodles in big mouthfuls.

Cheng Xin likes Yan Wener's straightforward temperament, and this side is indeed delicious.

Wen Yunxian came to an uninhabited corner, asked Yueya to check the surroundings, and took out what the man had given her before.

The man was not a servant in the Prime Minister's Mansion. He could only say this that Wen Huimin did not know the servant in the Mansion and could not see through his lies.

This is true. Wen Huimin only knows the servants in the inner courtyard. As for the outer courtyard, she probably only knows a few concierges.

Open the veil and there was a small wooden box and a letter.

There is no signature on the letter, but she knows it was written by Chu Chenjin because she knows his words.
