There were lush greenery on both sides of the road. After walking on the stone road and walking in the middle, everyone discovered a small stream under the stone road.
The river water is crystal clear and sweet, making people feel refreshed just by looking at it.
The stream crosses a small bridge in front of the stone road and then burrows into the grass.
As Yu Sheng passed by, he casually plunged into the water and suddenly discovered that there was a lake not far downstream of the stream.
It's just that there are many aquatic plants on the lake and it's covered by lush woods, so it can't be seen.
The surrounding mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the birds are chirping crisply. It is a rare and quiet place.
They walked across the small stone bridge and arrived at the door. They saw that the door was three minutes wider than the ordinary door. As for the sign on the door, it read "Wuchang Temple".
"All actions are impermanent, which is the law of birth and death; birth and death have ceased, and cessation is happiness." The city lord looked up at the sign and said.
"I didn't expect that in the deep mountains and old forests of Zhonghuang, there are actually monks who understand Zen principles." The city lord said.
They are also strange for the rest of their lives.
In the Great Wilderness, Buddhism has been passed down since the era of the Saints of the Central Plains. Although the inheritance has never been interrupted, it is still very magical for a temple to appear in a place with few human beings in the Central Plains.
Yu Sheng knocked on the door, waited for a long time before hearing footsteps, and then noticed a pair of eyes looking at them through the crack in the door.
"Poor..." Maybe it's because they were thinking of the monk just now, or maybe it's because they now look so much like the monks who learned Buddhist scriptures that they almost said it smoothly for the rest of their lives.
"Sorry to disturb the abbot, we are passing by and come here to ask for some food." Yu Sheng said.
There was no answer in the yard, and Yu Sheng could only faintly hear: "It's a human being."
Yu Sheng was surprised because the voice that came out was actually a woman’s voice. It was strange. Could this be a nunnery?
"Are you sure you're not a demon?" one person asked.
"No, he is really a human being, with tender skin and tender flesh..."
If it weren't for Yu Sheng's very strong hearing, I almost didn't hear what he said next, "Shhh, keep your voice down, hurry up and pick her up, there are still some delivered to your door these days."
"Yes", footsteps came from behind the door, and after a while, with a "squeak", the door of the monastery was opened.
A nun wearing a blue robe turned to Yu Sheng and others, clasping her hands together: "Amitabha, guest sir, I have seen several donors here..."
Ye Zigao was surprised as to why this nun had her back turned to someone, so she looked over and said, "We are from Nanhuang, working for the King of Nanhuang. We passed by here and came here to ask for a bowl of water."
These were discussed in advance.
Yu Sheng thought that since the forces of the Southern Wilderness had spread to the Central Wilderness, why not pull up the banner of tiger skin to gain some benefits, and when doing bad things, they could also ruin the reputation of the King of the Southern Wilderness.
"Nanhuang", the nun standing sideways was startled, "you are from the King of Nanhuang."
"That's right, we all have a big hole in our chest. We just covered it up with clothes to avoid attracting attention." When it comes to coaxing women, Ye Zigao is a good hand.
"Sorry for bothering you, girl." Yu Sheng cupped his hands from behind.
He already knew that there was something fishy about this temple, but he still wanted to go in and have a look. If he encountered a den of thieves, it would be good to earn some merit points.
"Okay, guest... almsgiver, please come in." The little nun secretly slapped the back of her hand, wondering why she could never change her mouth.
Yu Sheng and the others followed them in, and saw that the little nun was actually walking sideways, that is, sideways, facing them.
Ye Zigao was surprised, "Girl, what kind of move are you doing?"
"Ah? Ah, this is our unique way of walking in Zhonghuang. It's called the Crab Walk. This way we can move flexibly and rarely get plotted." said the nun walking in front.
"Plot?" Ye Zigao was surprised, "Girl, don't worry, we won't plot against you."
"Let's talk it over, and forget it if you say it." Fu Nan said behind him.
"Ah?" The nun was startled and turned her head to look at Ye Zigao, wondering if they were bad guys.
"Don't listen to their nonsense, I'm a good person..." Ye Zigao waved his hands hurriedly, this beast took a fancy to the nun.
"Yes, he's just not a man." The black girl shouted from behind.
"Your uncle." Ye Zigao turned around and roared, then turned to the nun and said, "Girl..."
"Please call me Master. Why don't you call me girl?" Yu Sheng said.
The nun also responded, "Yes, yes, monks are compassionate. Please call me Master Tai."
They followed Yu Sheng into the yard, and saw a pond in the yard, which diverted the stream water, and passed through the pond and flowed out of the yard.
There are many small miscellaneous fish in the pond, with small shrimps in their bodies.
There is a rockery beside the pond, which is very beautifully arranged and has a Zen feel.
They were led to the guest room, where two nuns walked in, served them tea, and then left.
The nun who led the way said, "Everyone, take a rest for a moment. I'll ask our abbot to come out right now."
"Okay", Yu Sheng remained calm, seeing Ye Ye Gao impatiently drinking tea, he stretched out his finger and it turned into ice cubes in an instant.
"Hey", he just brought the tea cup to his forehead. The leaves were high and he didn't see the tea coming down. Then he looked up and said, "Shopkeeper, what do you mean?"
"You're not afraid of poisoning yourself to death. There are weird things everywhere in this temple," Yu Sheng said.
"What's weird? Yes, there is something weird. The young masters are all good-looking, and they are more advantageous than the abbot here." Ye Zi nodded high.
"Since you are the abbot, why are you a nun?" the black girl asked angrily.
"That's not necessarily true. What if the abbot robbed it, for example, from a Taoist priest? It's not impossible."
When Ye Zigao said this, he was startled and said, "Shopkeeper, there is really something fishy about this Wuchang Temple. Can we rescue the little masters?"
Yu Sheng frowned, "Why is it that when it comes to women, your IQ is as good as that of a rich man?"
"Maybe it's because the sperm is on the brain." Fu Nan said bluntly. After saying this, he saw Yu Sheng, Ye Zigao and Bai Gaoxing looking at his strange expression.
"What's wrong?" Fu Nan asked in surprise.
"It's nothing, maybe this is what makes a good doctor after a long illness." I can't find any other adjective for the rest of my life.
He called Qiongqi, "Come here and try to see if this tea is poisonous."
Qiongqi had already accepted his fate, and came over obediently and took a sip, "It's sweet, not bad, and tastes good."
It was about to leave again, Yu Sheng said: "You tell the dog to stop peeing everywhere and occupying the territory. From the Southern Wilderness to the Eastern Wilderness, can he occupy it?"
"I come, I see, I conquer." Qiongqi looked at Gouzi sideways, "Your dog is going to give Zhonghuang the surname Gou."
The dog barked "woof, woof" several times, which seemed to echo Qiongqi's tone.
After a while, a middle-aged nun walked out surrounded by two nuns. These three people also walked sideways, which was strange.
"Amitabha, we have a guest, so this poor monk is rude." The nun saluted.
A few people in Yu Sheng stood up and returned the greetings, saying that it was okay to speak frankly. After sitting down and saying a few polite words, the Master asked: "How many of the guests are from the Southern Wilderness?"
"That's right." Yu Sheng nodded, "We are from the King of the Southern Wilderness. We have been troubled a lot by those who have gone north due to business."
The master's expression changed slightly, but he quickly covered it up, "Maybe it's because of the copper mines in Dabei Mountain."
