Zuo Shisan was a little surprised when he heard the words of the two young monks:
"Two masters, this is the first time I heard that you need to make an appointment online to enter the temple to worship Buddha and seek scriptures."
One of the fat young monks smiled mischievously after hearing what Zuo Shisan said:
"This is how our Nanguo Temple is. You can't enter without a reservation. The two donors should go back."
Although his tone was still polite, Zuo Shisan could clearly see the disdain and contempt revealed from the depths of the monk's eyes.
The monks who guard the gate are all like this. It seems that Nanguo Temple has a lot of problems.
Just when Zuo Shisan and An Rushuang were about to leave and think of other options, suddenly two new guests were welcomed outside the gate of Nanguo Temple.
The two guests, a man and a woman, looked like a couple and were about in their early forties.
When the two monks guarding the gate saw it, they quickly put on a smiling face and hurried over to greet him.
"Mr. Wang, Mrs. Wang, why did you come up on your own? You have to come and inform us in advance, and we will send someone down to pick you two up."
The middle-aged man named Mr. Wang said after hearing this:
"I won't bother you two young masters. Since we are here to pray for the Buddha's safety and safety, we must be sincere."
"Yes, yes, our host, Master Ksitigarbha, has been waiting for you two in the front hall. Quick, please come inside."
The middle-aged couple entered Nanguo Temple under the leadership of another young monk.
When An Rushuang saw this, she glanced at Zuo Shisan helplessly and whispered:
“This temple is really realistic.”
"Let's go, let's think of another way." After Zuo Shisan finished speaking, he left with An Rushuang.
Zuo Shisan originally planned to climb directly in from the back wall of the temple.
When Zuo Shisan and An Rushuang came to the back wall, they were stunned by the scene in front of them. The back wall was not only high, but also had a power grid on it. Zuo Shisan found a wooden stick with water and threw it on top of the power grid.
, and suddenly the fire burst out.
"Here, the power grid is actually energized!" Zuo Shisan exclaimed. He had no idea that the power grid on the wall of a small temple was actually energized.
It seems that there may be many hidden secrets hidden in Nanguo Temple.
Thinking of this, Zuo Shisan and An Rushuang came to the wall on the side of Nanguo Temple again. There was still a power grid on the inside of the side wall. It was impossible to climb over the wall and get in.
Just when Zuo Shisan was in trouble, suddenly a person's name rushed into his mind.
That is his apprentice Mei Youqian!
Judging from Mei Youqian's family background, perhaps someone in his family could know Master Ksitigarbha, the presiding master of Nanguo Temple.
With the idea of giving it a try, Zuo Shisan took out his mobile phone and dialed Mei Youqian's number.
Soon the phone was connected and Mei Youqian's voice came out:
"Master, do you have something to do with me?"
Thirteen from the left got straight to the point:
"Mei Youqian, let me ask you something, have you ever heard of Nanguo Temple?"
Mei Yougan said on the phone:
"I've heard of it. It's a very famous temple. Every year, my parents take me to Nanguo Temple to ask Master Ksitigarbha, the presiding master, to help with rituals to ward off evil spirits and pray for peace... By the way, Master, why did you suddenly think of asking about this?
Nanguo Temple?"
Zuo Shisan said:
"There is something wrong with the abbot of Nanguo Temple. I plan to go in and have a look."
Mei Youqian immediately understood what Zuo Shisan meant:
"Master, it is difficult to enter Nanguo Temple unless you are an acquaintance. You wait for me over there and I will drive over right away to take you in."
Thirteenth from the left:
"Thank you, apprentice."
"Master, look at what you said. You are my master and the number one master of the Maoshan Dragon and Tiger Sect. It is my greatest honor to be your named disciple."
After hearing this, Zuo Shisan laughed and said:
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and come over here quickly."
"Okay, okay, I'll leave right now. Master, please wait for me! My place is eighty-nine kilometers away from Nanguo Temple, and it takes at most two hours to get there by taking the highway." Mei Youqian said and hung up the phone.
"Has your apprentice promised you?" An Rushuang looked at Zuo Shisan and asked.
Thirteen from the left nodded:
"Well, he will be there in two hours. Let's wait for him in front."
An hour and a half later, Thirteen Zuo saw Mei Youqian running up from the bottom of the mountain.
When Zuo Shisan saw Mei Youqian covered in sweat and panting from exhaustion, he suddenly felt that his apprentice was not as unreliable as he had been at first.
"Master, Master, are you all here? I'm really sorry that I made you wait for me for so long. Let's go, I...I'll take you in now." Mei Youqian looked at Zuo Shisan and An Rushuang and said.
After hearing this, An Rushuang said quickly:
"Don't worry, just sit here and rest for a while to relax."
Zuo Shisan also said:
"Yes, let's sit here and take a breath first. I'll see if you're tired, so you won't be in such a hurry. Your wife and I have time."
Mei Youqian said:
"I'm just worried that coming here is too far and will delay your business... Then I'll rest for a while."
Mei Youqian said and sat on the stone steps next to him.
After Mei Youqian had rested, he walked in front, leading Zuo Shisan and An Rushuang towards the main entrance of Nanguo Temple.
The two young monks were still guarding the door. The difference from the last time was that after seeing Mei Youqian, the two young monks hurriedly ran towards the door to greet her.
"Master Mei, why are you here today? You should have informed us before you came. We have to lay out the red carpet in advance. If you come, our Nanguo Temple will be in full bloom..."
Mei Youqian waved his hand and said:
"I will take two friends to your temple today to worship Buddha."
"No problem, let alone two. As long as Master Mei opens your mouth, everything can be easily solved." The fat monk said and looked towards Zuo Shisan and An Rushuang.
Zuo Shisan smiled at him. The fat monk was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted:
"Two of you, if you had said earlier that you were friends with Master Mei, there wouldn't have been such a misunderstanding just now. It's because we two brothers have lost sight of Taishan. You two must not be as familiar with us as we are. Quick, quick, please come in. !Please come in!!”
After Mei Youqian walked into Nanguo Temple with Zuo Shisan and An Rushuang, he took out a stack of 100 yuan in cash from his pocket and handed it to the two monks guarding the door.
The two monks immediately opened their mouths and laughed from ear to ear.
Seeing this scene, Zuo Shisan kept shaking his head:
"Sigh...what kind of world is this? You really have to say, 'The Buddha will save the Yuan people'."
After hearing this, An Rushuang said quickly:
"Thirteen, don't talk nonsense. This is obviously the greed of the human heart and has nothing to do with Buddha."
Zuo Shisan immediately put his hands together and apologized after hearing this:
"That's right, that's right, I said it wrong without thinking about it. Buddha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry"...
