Far up the Hanshan Mountain, the stone path is sloping, and there are people living deep in the white clouds.
Another day, when Jia Qi asked what good places to visit in Yangzhou City, he unexpectedly learned that there was a temple named Panxiang outside the city, which aroused his interest.
There are two people in Panxiang Temple that he is quite interested in. One of them is Miaoyu, a Taoist nun who claims to be an outsider, and the other is Miaoyu's master, a strange person who is proficient in the art of acting as a god.
Speaking of which, this second person was the most fundamental reason why he wanted to go to Panxiang Temple to find out.
He is not superstitious about divination, but he doesn't just treat it as nonsense. Some people have certain things. Sometimes when he thinks about it, it seems that there is a certain destiny.
In today's world, there are many rumors that great masters in science such as Newton and Einstein plunged into theology in their later years and wanted to find out.
Now that he has come to another world, he has experienced a series of encounters. If someone says that those things are all nonsense and nonsense, he will definitely not believe it. He might as well come over in person to verify the authenticity.
This time, Jia Qi came alone. Not long after leaving the city, he arrived at the gate of Panxiang Temple.
There are some green shrubs planted on both sides of the narrow mountain road, giving it a somewhat winding path leading to a quiet place.
Perhaps because Yangzhou City was sealed off, no one could be seen on the mountain road.
Jia Qi climbed up the steps and looked at the surrounding environment as he walked. The mountain gate was not big, and there were only three large characters engraved on the door plaque halfway up the mountain, "Panxiang Temple".
The shrubs on both sides must have been pruned from time to time, and the branches and leaves were very neat. Not long after, he saw a temple hidden in the clouds and mist in the mountains. The door was bright red and looked very new. It must have been this year. Freshly painted.
The walls of the temple were yellow and looked dignified and solemn. Not long after, when he came to the gate, he saw a little nun waiting here. Before Jia Qi could speak, he heard the other party say: "Donor!! Master, you have been waiting for a long time." It’s been a long time, please come with me, donor!”
Hearing this, Jia Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was surprised. This master's wife really did have some skills. He could actually figure out that he was looking for her today, and the little nun who had arranged in advance came to greet her.
The little nun in front of her puts her palms together on her chest. She wears a monk's hat on her head and a garb. Her eyes reveal tranquility and peace. A kind of Zen flow naturally flows through her every move.
After Jia Qi saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart. There are not many temples that do not conform to the secular world and can peacefully meditate and realize Taoism. However, there is an Iron Threshold Temple in the original work, which has almost become a den of prostitution. Compared with the flowers, The building is no less impressive!
The buildings in the courtyard are roughly similar to those of ordinary temples. There is a bronze incense burner in front of the main hall, and the incense is constantly burning. As soon as you enter the door, sandalwood smells in your nose, making people feel like they have stepped into another world, and their souls seem to have been baptized. .
Under the guidance of the little nun, Jia Qi soon arrived at a row of houses on the left.
The little nun said a Buddhist verse outside a door, and then said respectfully: "Master! That man is here!!"
"Donor, please come in quickly!!"
After hearing the nun's report, a slightly deep voice came from the room. He could recognize people by listening to the music. Just by listening to this voice, Jia Qi knew that the person in the room was already quite old.
The little nun opened the door and made a gesture of invitation. When Jia Qi walked in, she left.
Jia Qi came into the room and when he looked up, he saw two people there. One was an old nun about fifty or sixty years old, and the other was a little girl dressed in a somewhat unusual way.
"Teacher! I'm sorry for disturbing you!"
Jia Qi cupped his hands and said something first.
"Amitabha~Buddhism is a place where people can be liberated from suffering. Why bother talking about what the donor is here for today?"
The old nun recited a Buddhist verse, asked Jia Qi to sit down, and then got straight to the point.
The little girl on the side didn't say anything, she just looked at Jia Qi quietly with a rather strange look in her eyes.
Jia Qi chuckled, "Master Tai! Since you can figure out that I am here, why bother asking questions knowingly?"
The old nun sighed softly, "Oh~ the poor nun has indeed figured out the benefactor's intention, but there is just one thing that the poor nun hopes the benefactor can agree to~"
Jia Qi frowned, "What's the matter?"
The old nun clasped his palms together and said, "The donor will certainly be able to achieve what he wants when he goes to the north, but he will commit atrocious killings. God has the virtue of a good life. I hope the donor can be merciful. If he can avoid committing murder, I hope the donor can be noble. , how can the common people deserve~"
When Jia Qi heard this, he was greatly shocked. It was so magical that he could figure out his plans before they even met.
The light in Jia Qi's eyes began to flicker. It was a bit dangerous for him to have such a person in this world. If the other party had the intention to cause harm or calculated without any intention, he would probably bring huge trouble to himself. Suddenly, he let He had some murderous intent.
As soon as the murderous intent was revealed, the temperature of the entire room suddenly seemed to drop by more than ten degrees. The temperature on the mountain was already low, which immediately made the old nun and the little girl in the room shiver.
The old nun had a bitter look on his face. He originally only wanted to persuade Jia Qi to stop killing, but he forgot one thing. Since Jia Qi had such killing intentions, he himself was a decisive person in killing. In this way, he became If you steal the chicken, you will lose the rice.
"Donor, don't worry. The nun is willing to swear an oath to the Bodhisattva and will never reveal any information about the benefactor. If he violates this oath, the nun will fall into the hell of eternity forever and never be human again!"
The little girl on the side hid directly behind the old nun, her face was a little pale. For some reason, the young man who was as gentle as jade gave her a creepy feeling in an instant, and she was extremely scared.
Hearing the old nun's words, Jia Qi's brows spread and his murderous intent subdued. He only heard him say: "Master Tai, I'm being rude, but when Jia Qi left, it was not for the sake of temporary success, but for the legacy of eternity. As the saying goes, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Instead of doing this every year, it is better to cut off the source of pain directly, so that my Dakang people can enjoy peace in the years to come. If there is really a sin, it is all my fault. Just take responsibility!”
After hearing this, Lao Ni sighed softly. She didn't know much about what happened in the North. She just thought that Jia Qi's trip would be a bloody storm. Now that she heard Jia Qi's own plan, she knew that the other party was not just for a while. Killing people happily and wantonly stopped trying to persuade him. In fact, she was still frightened by Jia Qi, and she did not dare to say anything about Jia Qi's plans.
After hesitating for a while, the old nun spoke again: "Donor, this poor nun has one more thing to ask for! I hope the benefactor can agree!!"
Jia Qi now knew that there would probably be no mistakes in his trip, and his mood became good. He looked at the old nun and said, "What's the matter?"
The old nun pulled the little girl behind him to him and said: "She is the disciple of the poor nun, her name is Miaoyu. The poor nun feels that my disciple is afraid of a big disaster in the future, and he also asks the donor to lend a helping hand to save the girl." Save her!!"
When Jia Qi heard this, he didn't say anything. He just looked at the little girl in front of him carefully. He had made a guess about this little girl before, and the old nun's words made him more sure.
What the old nun said is true. Miaoyu will indeed be in trouble in the future. After the Grand View Garden was ransacked, Miaoyu was robbed by a group of thieves. She doesn't know whether she will live or die, but it won't be a good thing even if she thinks about it.
Seeing that Jia Qi didn't speak, the old nun thought he didn't agree, so he added: "The old nun will teach her his skills in acting as a god and arithmetic, etc., and he will not let the benefactor's efforts go in vain~~"
Hearing this, Jia Qi was a little surprised, and then he nodded again. If he had such a person by his side in the future, he would probably save a lot of effort!
"Okay!! But I have my own things to do in the past few years!"
Hearing Jia Qi's promise, the nun slowly let out a breath and said, "It doesn't matter. It will still take a few years for Miaoyu to learn the skills of supporting the shackles. Now Panxiang Temple is considered stable and nothing will happen!"
...
Outside the gate of Panxiang Temple, looking at the retreating figure, Miaoyu couldn't help but ask: "Master!! This person is so weird. I'm fine, why should I save him?"
The old nun sighed, "Idiot! Who can predict the future with certainty!! He is the first person in my class who cannot calculate the future clearly. He just calculated the purpose of his trip, and he was struck by the secret of heaven. , I almost didn’t make it through, this person will definitely protect you for the rest of your life~~”
"Master~"
