Just as Dao Ling closed his eyes, he suddenly opened them again and said to the door: "Asi."
Suddenly, the door of the Zen room was pushed open a crack, and a little head poked in, looking around with a pair of watery eyes, and then asked in a low voice: "Master, are you calling me?"
Dao Ling nodded slightly.
The young monk's name is A Si. There is a small red swastika between his eyebrows. If you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all. Instead, you will only see a red dot on his forehead.
The young monk A Si said excitedly: "Master, are we going down the mountain?"
The young monk A Si has been looking forward to going down the mountain every day since he went up the mountain, because he heard from his brothers that there are a lot of delicious food, drinks and fun things at the bottom of the mountain.
Dao Ling said to the young monk A Si: "A Si, if a distinguished guest is coming, go to the temple gate to greet him."
The young monk A Si said lonely: "Yes, Master."
Then he left the Zen room in despair.
Linghuai Temple, the entrance of the temple.
The setting sun made the figure grow shyly. A small figure was wandering at the entrance of the temple. From time to time, he glanced into the distance and kept muttering: "Didn't you say that a noble person is visiting? Why hasn't he come yet? The sun is about to set. , I’d better go back! It’ll get dark later, it’s so cold.”
This person is the young monk Ah Si!
The young monk A Si turned around and was about to slip into the temple gate. He suddenly stopped and turned around. He looked sharply at the two figures squatting in front of the stone statue. He frowned slightly and murmured in his heart: "This is the noble man."
Under the ray of the setting sun, the two figures in front of the stone statue were illuminated dark red, and the red armor became more and more translucent, exuding iron and tenderness.
Through the ray of the setting sun, the horizon was sprinkled with orange, just like a newly ripened orange, ready for you to pick. Through the orange, it echoes the dark red armor.
At this time, the man in front of the stone statue suddenly looked at A Si, his eyes slightly condensed, showing a look of shock. There was something strange in A Si's eyes, which made A Si feel a little uncomfortable.
Ah Si snorted and said unceremoniously: "Donor, you are here to pay homage to the abbot."
The man nodded slightly.
"Then come with me!" A Si said slightly dissatisfied.
The attendant next to the man accused him: "Hey, you little monk, what do you say?"
The young monk A Si glanced at the attendant casually, and then said quietly: "Follow me!" He seemed not to be affected by the attendant's words.
The attendant was about to get angry, but was glared back fiercely by the man on the side.
Then the two of them followed the young monk's footsteps and entered Linghuai Temple.
The young monk A Si took the two of them to the abbot's Zen room. The young monk A Si gently knocked on the door and said respectfully: "Master, we have brought them."
"Come in!" A thick voice came from the room.
The young monk Ah Si gently opened the door and made a very polite gesture of invitation. The man in blood-red armor said to the attendant next to him: "You stay here to guard."
Then he took a big step and entered the Zen room. At the same time, his eyes narrowed slightly and he took a deep look at the young monk Asi beside him.
The young monk A Si lowered his head, but his brows were slightly condensed.
After the man entered the room, the young monk A Si slowly closed the door, and then stood guard outside the door as if he was in trance.
In the Zen room, the man in blood armor bowed slightly to the Taoist spirit and said respectfully: "I, Xia Houjin, pay my respects to the master."
This person is Xia Houjin, the number one general in China.
Dao Ling looked at Xia Houjin and said, "General, there is no need to be polite."
Then Dao Ling took the lead and asked: "General, you are here for the matter of Linghuai Village."
Xia Houjin nodded slightly, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but there was no expression of surprise.
