Along the way, except for Chongming's eating appearance, which was a little eye-catching, everything was fine. He drove the horse aimlessly along the road in the early morning.
"Oh... Chongming, can you eat faster? This looks really uncomfortable." Chen Ling sighed and discussed with Chongming.
Hearing this, Zhongming raised his head and glanced at Qingcheng. He turned his back to Qingcheng with the rock snake in his mouth, and then continued to eat with his head down.
"...Thank you." Chen Chen's mouth twitched.
Fortunately, Chongming didn't ignore him, which made Qingchen quite happy.
Chen Chen opened the map and looked at it. The next stop was a county called Qinghe County. There were no villages in the middle. Chen Chen couldn't help but frown.
I don’t know if I can find a place to spend the night on the way, otherwise it will be really difficult tonight.
But it was still early, not even noon yet, so I wasn't in a hurry. If it didn't work, I could just find an open space and spend the night there.
Unfortunately, the weather did not go as planned. An hour later, in the early hours of the morning, I watched helplessly as several large groups of dark clouds slowly drifted up from the sky. As the dark clouds got closer and closer, the originally gentle breeze also carried a chilly chill.
"God, you are really playing tricks on me." Ling Chen muttered angrily.
What makes matters worse is that Chongming is not able to fly yet, and even if he manages to fly, he won't be able to fly very far, so he can't even count on Chongming to help find a place to hide from the rain.
"Buddha bless you, let this young monk find a place to hide from the rain." He prayed with his hands clasped together in the early hours of the morning.
Although he wouldn't catch a cold or get sick because of being exposed to the rain, he wouldn't feel comfortable being wet, right?
"Drive!" I spanked the horse's butt in the early hours of the morning, and the horse immediately started galloping all the way.
However, this was a hardship for Chongming, who had eaten, drank, and combed his feathers on the horse. He was staggered by the sudden acceleration, and after stabilizing his body, he shouted at the early morning.
But in the early morning, there was no time to think about Chongming. The driving horses ran all the way along the road, trying to find a shelter from the rain before it rained.
Soon, in the early morning, I saw the sharp corner of a roof among the swaying woods, and my eyes suddenly lit up. It was really the Buddha who appeared.
Rumble…
A loud bang of thunder sounded overhead in the early morning, and the layers of dark clouds seemed to be about to come down. More than half of the entire sky was dark, and ordinary people hundreds of meters away could not see clearly.
Finally, just before heavy raindrops fell, I finally arrived at the house in the early morning and found that it was actually a ruined temple.
However, he didn't care much in the early morning. He got off his horse, tied it under the eaves, and took Chongming and two bamboo baskets into the ruined temple.
Almost the moment they entered the ruined temple, the sound of rain outside started, and the wind howled and the rain poured down.
"Buddha has appeared. If I hadn't caught up, wouldn't I be a drowned rat?" Looking at the heavy rain outside in the early hours of the morning, I couldn't help but sigh.
As a result, when he turned around, he saw a young man dressed as a scholar staring at him in amazement, as if he was frightened by the turbulent morning.
"This donor, please excuse me." Chen Chen saluted the young man with his hands clasped together.
"No, no, no, don't disturb me. This is a temple. If you want to disturb me, it's only because you are disturbing me." The young man reacted and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Hahaha, meeting is fate, and the donor should not say anything about disturbing or not disturbing me." Ling Chen said with a smile.
"It's okay." The young man was a little nervous and restless there. It seemed that he was a very introverted person.
"Did the donor also come to Beijing to take the exam?" Chen Chen sat opposite the young man and asked very familiarly.
"Ah, how did Master know this? Xiaosheng is indeed a student who came to Beijing to take the exam." The young man said in surprise.
"Before, the poor monk met and talked with a scholar who also came to Beijing to take the exam." Ling Chen explained with a smile.
"Ah, that's a coincidence. I wonder which brother it is? I think Xiaosheng may know him too." The young man asked curiously.
"The poor monk only knows his name, Liu Qingshu, but he doesn't know where he lives," said Chen Ling.
"Liu Qingshu... I haven't heard of him. I think he must be very far away." The young man scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. If you meet him, wouldn't you know him?" Ling Chen laughed.
"Master is right." The young man smiled shyly.
"By the way, Master, my name is Ning Xuan." The young man introduced himself.
"What a good name. The poor monk's name is San Burian, Buried Burial." Ling Chen also introduced himself.
"Three burials!?" Ning Xuan's eyes widened in shock when he heard the chanting in the early morning. This was the first time he heard such a weird chanting.
"Ah, Master Sanzang, please forgive me, it's so weird for a young man." Ning Xuan apologized quickly.
"Hahaha, most people hear the poor monk's Dharma title like this. The poor monk is used to it." Chen Chen waved his hand indifferently.
"Thank you, Master San Buran, for your understanding." Ning Xuan stood up and looked at Chen Chen to the end.
"It doesn't matter, meeting each other is fate. The poor monk is not that stingy, but is Donor Ning going alone?" Ling Chen asked.
"That's right. Xiaosheng is the only scholar near the village of Xiaosheng's hometown, so naturally he is traveling alone." Ning Xuan said with some embarrassment.
"I see. I hope Donor Ning will be famous on this trip." Chen Ling said.
"Then let me borrow the good words from Master San Burial." Ning Xuan's face turned redder when he heard this.
"But it's better for the donor to be more careful when he's on his way. As the saying goes, one person shouldn't enter the temple, two people shouldn't look at the well, three people shouldn't hug the tree, and when sitting alone, don't lean on the railing." Chen Ling suddenly said with a hint.
"Ah? This is really the first time I've heard of this young man. I wonder what the purpose is?" Ning Xuan asked curiously.
"Don't enter the temple alone means that a person should not enter a temple or an uninhabited house alone in case he encounters unsafe factors such as bandits and robbers.
"Two people don't watch the well" means that when two people watch a well together, they should pay attention to their own safety to prevent the other person from plotting evil intentions, such as pushing you into the well.
Three people don't hug the tree means that when three people want to measure the thickness of the tree, the other two people hold your arms and cannot move, so as to force you to agree to some requirements.
Sit alone and don’t lean on the railing means that if a person is leaning on a protective railing and the railing falls off, no one can save you. "Ling Chen explained.
"I see, Xiaosheng has learned a lesson." Ning Xuan sighed with sudden realization, and then looked at Chen Chen again.
"Do you know why the poor monk said this suddenly?" Ling Chen smiled.
Ning Xuan was stunned and shook his head blankly. He really didn't think about the profound meaning of what he said to him in the early morning. He just thought that he was being careful when he was going early in the morning.
"That's because this small temple will soon become lively." Ling Chen turned to look outside the temple and explained softly.
"Ah?" Ning Xuan was stunned. He looked in the direction of Chen Chen's line of sight but could not see anything except the rain curtain. He couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Don't worry, it's coming soon." Chen Chen said with a smile.
Almost as soon as the words were spoken in the early morning, more than a dozen strong men wearing raincoats rushed into the temple. As soon as they entered, they hurriedly took off their raincoats to shake off the rainwater.
"Brother, this rain is really heavy. I haven't seen such heavy rain in several years." One of them said angrily.
"Shut up." The man called Big Brother raised his hand to stop him.
