Chapter 1938 Feilai Temple in the Rain Appreciation Party
Xianyun Continent, Beiyun County.
Heavy rains continued, and water accumulated everywhere in the city. In some places, the puddles were even as high as a person's height.
Xia Leng and the others have been trapped in the city for several days. Apart from playing small games and chatting in the room every day, there is almost nothing to do.
"Sir, let's go out for a walk. If we stay in the room any longer, I will get moldy."
Xiao Xiuer held her face in her hands and leaned on the table with her whole body, looking quite depressed.
Feng Tianling has an introverted temperament. Although she also wanted to go out for a walk, she couldn't hold it in. She just glanced at Xia Leng.
"It's raining outside."
Xia Leng answered the question incorrectly.
Xiao Xiuer rolled on the spot and rubbed in front of Xia Leng's feet: "If it keeps raining, won't we ever go out in this life?"
Xia Leng asked her: "Do you really want to go out?"
"Of course I want to. If you stay here, you will go crazy sooner or later."
Xiao Xiuer's eyebrows knitted together, "It's okay even if you go out and get wet in the rain."
The room was too humid and a little cold. Ji Jiu was pulling the charcoal fire. When he heard Xiao Xiuer's words, he couldn't help but joked: "Aren't you afraid of that monster called Yu Nu?"
"I'm not afraid. With Young Master and Ninth Brother here, I'm not afraid of any monsters."
Xiao Xiuer rolled her eyes, got up and hugged Xia Leng's arm: "Master, there are really monsters, you should be able to protect me."
Xia Tian glanced at her and said calmly: "What can I do for you? If you are eaten by a monster, I can save some worries."
"What? I'm your maid. Can you really get used to being without my service?"
Xiao Xiuer didn't believe that Xia Leng would treat her like this, "Sir, you just mean what you say. You don't act like a child at all. You are more boring than those adults."
Feng Tianling remembered the encounter with the killer before, and said with some fear: "It's not good to go out, what if I meet the killer?"
"Silly Ling'er, the killer is here to kill us, right?"
Xiao Xiuer patted Feng Tianling's little head and said, "There won't be killers when we go out. Even if there are, don't be afraid. The place outside is so big, wouldn't there be more room for running."
This reason is so powerful that it is simply unassailable.
In the end, Xia Leng and the others went out, not because of Xiao Xiu'er's troubles, but because the proprietor Kong Qingsong suddenly sent someone to invite Xia Leng and the others, saying that he was inviting them to a scenic spot to enjoy the rain.
As soon as Xia Leng and the others went out, there was a carriage waiting outside, and the person sitting on it was none other than Kong Qingsong.
Several people got on the horse one after another and found that besides Kong Qingsong, there was also one of his little bookboys.
"Mr. Leng, how comfortable are you with your stay?"
When Kong Qingsong saw Xia Leng and the others, he couldn't help but smile and greet them.
Xia Leng also politely replied: "The stay is indeed not bad, and the waiter's service is also attentive."
"That's good."
Kong Qingsong still deliberately maintains his sonorous demeanor, and his words and deeds are all artificial, but fortunately they are not offensive: "I saw some of you sitting in the room, I'm afraid you will find it boring.
So while the rain is light today, let’s take a few of us out to see the scenery.”
"I've thought about it for a long time, but the young master has always been against it."
Xiao Xiuer suddenly became excited, "It's so fun outside. It would be better if the rain stopped."
"I'm afraid the rain won't stop for a while, but it won't stop us from traveling."
Kong Qingsong seemed to be in a good mood and couldn't help laughing when he heard Xiao Xiuer's words: "Today we are going to Feilai Temple outside the city, where a rain viewing party will be held today. You can go and join in the fun."
"Rain viewing party?"
Xia Leng was puzzled. He had heard of various flower viewing parties on earth. What was the operation of this rain viewing party?
"Oh, this is a festival unique to Beiyun County."
Kong Qingsong explained with a smile: “Because it rains here all year round, it has become a quite unique scenery, especially the night rain in mid-July is the most stunning.
About a hundred years ago, a scholar came to the temple to stay overnight. He couldn't sleep at night, so he happily set out. Then he saw the thin lines of rain hitting the jade lotus in the pool under the moonlight, causing water drops to splash.
With the scene of 'Thousands of threads flying in the rain, and the Milky Way flying dragons turning over the jade plate', rain appreciation parties gradually began."
"It's raining, but there's still a moon?"
Ji Jiu couldn't understand.
Kong Qingsong smiled and replied: "Actually, it's not the moon. You will know when you get to Feilai Temple."
"Sounds awesome."
Xiao Xiuer's eyes flashed and she said to Xia Leng: "Young Master, you must see this kind of scenery."
The carriage moved forward slowly, and the rain continued outside.
Xia Leng feels that this city is full of stories, or that the sound of rain has been falling for so many years, hiding a lot of grudges and resentments in it.
As the proprietor, Kong Qingsong took great care of Xia Leng and the others, and his speech and behavior were quite decent. The laughter never stopped along the way.
"It's indeed magical, you might as well go and take a look."
Xia Leng sighed inwardly. It seemed that except for Aunt Mengmeng, the people he had come into contact with since childhood, including his mother, all had the disadvantage of being too young.
As for his irresponsible biological father, he actually didn't know much about him because he didn't spend much time with him.
Under the influence of these people, he has indeed been very mature since he was a child. In addition, he is extremely talented and can learn everything at once, so he is not very interested in anything.
As for the scenery, Xia Leng didn't have much interest in it. What scenery could be more beautiful and charming than the Fairy Island? Even if he had it, he wouldn't actually be interested in it.
In fact, it's not that he is too precocious, but that his points of laughter, tears, and other emotions are triggered at a higher level than others, so he appears aloof, unsociable, and young.
The reason why Xia Leng likes to pamper Xiao Xiuer is because this girl is innocent, cute and fun, which makes him feel that their personalities complement each other, so he always allows her to follow him regardless of age.
"Is there anything delicious to eat at the rain party?"
Xiao Xiuer didn't notice Xia Leng's inner activities, she just smiled and asked Kong Qingsong.
"Of course there are, and there are many more, all of which are Beiyun's specialty delicacies."
Kong Qingsong replied calmly, then glanced at Xia Leng, "Why do you feel that Mr. Leng is not interested in the rain appreciation party?
If that’s the case, then by taking you there, am I doing something bad out of good intentions?”
"My young master is definitely interested."
Xiao Xiuer rushed to answer for Xia Leng: "It's just that the young master has always been aloof. Even if he likes something, he won't say it easily."
Xia Leng gently hit Xiao Xiuer: "You are the only one who talks a lot, right?"
"When I came to the temple, some people should have gathered. Then I will take Mr. Leng to make more friends."
Kong Qingsong laughed loudly and said to Xia Leng: "It should make Mr. Leng no longer aloof and become approachable."
After walking for more than half an hour, the carriage arrived at Feilai Temple on the top of the mountain along the somewhat winding mountain road.
There were several young monks waiting for guests in front of the temple. It was obvious that the temple was well prepared for the rain viewing party.
After getting off the carriage, Kong Qingsong said to Xia Leng apologetically: "It's still early, I'll go find the abbot first to solve the problem of today's food and lodging.
If Mr. Leng can't wait any longer, you can ask the young novice to take you around the temple."
Ji Jiu watched Kong Qingsong go away and said softly: "Sir, I'm afraid this person has other agendas."
"fine."
Xia Leng said indifferently: "We should remain unchanged to cope with all changes, and we will see what he does next."
Ji Jiu nodded: "I'm going to check out the situation nearby."
With that said, he left.
At this time, a young novice monk of about ten years old came over, clasped his hands towards Xia Leng and the others, bowed slightly and said: "The young monk is called Rain, and he is responsible for guiding several donors today. If there is anything not thoughtful, please let me know."
Please forgive me."
"What a cute little monk."
Without saying anything, Xiao Xiuer reached out and touched the little novice monk's bald head. The little novice monk was so frightened that he hurriedly took four or five steps away and almost fell to the ground.
"Don't bully people."
Xia Leng warned Xiao Xiu'er with his eyes, and then introduced to the little novice monk: "My name is Leng Xia, from Lanjing. This is my maid Xiao Xiu'er, and this is my friend Feng Tianling."
As for Ji Jiu, he has already disappeared, so no introduction is needed.
The little novice nodded shyly and said nothing.
"It's still early for the rain viewing party, so let's take a walk in the temple first."
Xia Leng actually regarded this little novice monk as a kind of junior fellow in his school, and his tone was quite kind.
Little novice monk Yu came to his senses and hurriedly took two steps forward: "Donor Leng, please come this way. I will take you to the Main Hall to worship incense first."
"sure."
Xia sneered and said, "I'm not much older than you, so you don't need to be so reserved. We can just treat each other as friends."
"That's absolutely impossible."
The little novice monk Yulai felt a little flattered and waved his hands repeatedly: "You are Mr. Kong's friends. If you are lazy, the abbot will punish me."
Xia Leng felt that there was something in these words and asked casually, "Is Mr. Kong familiar with your abbot?"
"Master Kong is a good philanthropist. Our Feilai Temple was originally in a dilapidated state, but he raised money to help repair it."
The young novice monk Yulai answered directly: "Besides, the abbot's previous common surname was Kong, so I guess he has some connection with Mr. Kong."
The young novice led Xia Leng, Xiao Xiuer and Feng Tianling along the way, passed through two gates, walked a short corridor, and walked around an archway before seeing the Main Hall.
"Who are you?
Feilai Temple will not accept foreign visitors today, please get out."
Xia Leng and the others were just about to walk towards the Main Hall when a fat monk walked towards them. When they saw Xia Leng and the others, they yelled and cursed! Then they glanced at the little novice Yulai and cursed in the same way:
"You bastard little novice monk, do you really think that Fei Lai Temple is just an inn, and you take everyone to the temple?"
"As far as Third Master Uncle is concerned, these are all friends of Mr. Kong."
The little novice monk Yulai had a look of grievance on his face, "It was Mr. Kong who asked me to take them to the temple."
"Is it Kong Qingsong again?"
Monk Zhuang had a look of dissatisfaction on his face, "Feilai Temple will be destroyed sooner or later in his hands. I really don't know what he is doing. He almost regards the temple as his home."
The young novice was very frightened and did not dare to say anything.
Xiao Xiuer saw that the fat monk was dissatisfied, so she stepped forward and said, "Who are you? Does Feilai Temple belong to your family?"
Do we still need your permission for us to come to the temple?"
"The little girl has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, which is annoying!"
Monk Zhuang glared at Xiao Xiuer and said coldly: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, don't walk around in the temple, otherwise you will lose your life, but don't blame us for flying to the temple."
The young novice monk did not remain silent this time: "Amitabha, Third Master, please be careful what you say."
"Be careful what you say."
Monk Zhuang obviously has no taboos and has no concept of precepts. "I'm going to find the abbot and find out what he's causing trouble. The temple has almost become a neighborhood vegetable market."
