It is estimated that even Wuchen Temple did not expect that today was not a Buddhist festival, so how could so many children from rich families suddenly come. The novice monk responsible for the reception was so busy that he had to temporarily find other monks to come and help. After all, there were many donors who wanted some help, so Wuchen Temple often arranged for novice monks to receive them.
The purpose is that if the donor needs help, they will provide some free services, because after all, Wuchen Temple is not as convenient as a tourist attraction. Many times pilgrims can’t even find a bathroom or need to eat some vegetarian food. A novice is needed to guide the way.
However, unless there is any Buddhist festival, there will not be a few pilgrims in the entire Wuchen Temple a day, and sometimes there will be no pilgrims at all. Even if there are a few people who come occasionally, they are all nearby villagers. If there are any distinguished guests coming, they will contact the monks in the temple in advance.
Therefore, it is very rare for people to come unexpectedly today, and none of these rich family members contacted the temple in advance. They were probably worried that they would not be able to create the illusion of a chance encounter, so they did not tell them in advance. This made the novice monks in front of the temple suffer. They asked for help while hurriedly weaving through the crowd.
Fortunately, none of the young people who came to the temple today seemed to want to enter the temple immediately to burn incense and worship Buddha. Instead, they either lingered at the entrance of the temple or pretended to enjoy the scenery nearby. Anyway, they were scattered on the way up the mountain in front of the temple, walking slowly in groups of two and three.
This way, coming here seemed much more natural, but it made a few novices who came to help confused. They couldn't figure out what happened to these pilgrims today. Why are they different from the previous pilgrims? Instead of taking the time to burn incense, they slowly enjoyed the scenery on the way up the mountain. Could it be that the scenery here has become more beautiful?
Several novice monks looked around suspiciously and found that the scenery here was no different from usual. So they scratched their heads and had no choice but to continue to stay at the gate of the temple. According to normal logic, this time period is already relatively late. After all, few people come to offer incense at noon.
"Sister Yating! This place is really remote. I am a little tired coming by car. You see, we have been riding for almost three hours!"
As Xiaodao got out of the car, he glanced at the time and said to Liu Yating, with a look of disbelief on his face. Since Xiaodao came to the capital, he also knew that the capital was very big. Although it took some time to go anywhere, usually about an hour, he had never been to such a remote place.
There are various mountain roads all the way to this place. Although the scenery is very good, it is too far from the urban area of the capital. If you want to have a good first time, what time should you set off? You have to get up at 3 o'clock in the morning, Xiaodao thought silently in his heart.
"Yes, if it weren't for the fact that this place is too remote, I'm afraid it would have become a tourist attraction, and then there wouldn't be any eminent monks left."
Liu Yating looked a little surprised when she faced Xiaodao, but she didn't feel anything unexpected. Anyone who came to this temple for the first time couldn't help but feel this way. People who are accustomed to living in the capital know that it takes some time to go anywhere, but they will feel very uncomfortable after such a long journey. Besides, people living in the capital are generally quite busy, so how can they have so much free time?
"Sister Yating, why did we get off the bus here!"
Xiaodao looked at the place in front of him, and he was even more puzzled. Generally speaking, the parking lot should be not far from the temple. But the place in front of him was completely different. The place he was standing at was at the foot of a big mountain. When he looked up, he saw only mountains and rocks. There were no temples anywhere.
However, Xiaodao did not doubt that they were in the wrong place, because there were many luxury cars parked in front of them, so it was conceivable that this place was really a parking lot. After checking around and finding nothing unusual, Xiaodao withdrew his eyes and looked at Liu Yating again.
This time he found that even Liu Yating had a surprised expression on her face, so Xiaodao's curiosity was aroused, and he slowly walked to Liu Yating and asked.
"Sister Yating, why do you have such an expression? Is there something wrong here?"
"On the way here, I noticed something was wrong. Today is not a Buddhist festival. Usually very few people come here, but on the way I found a lot of cars coming here. When I got here, I found that there were indeed a lot of people here today. Yeah, look at those cars, you know it’s very lively here today, what’s the reason for this!”
After Liu Yating finished speaking, she fell into deep thought, as if thinking about something, and said nothing more for a while.
"I didn't expect that Sister Yating, you would also notice it. In fact, I already noticed it when we went out in the morning. From the time we set off, there were already cars following us. But I think Uncle Liu also knows about this. , otherwise he wouldn’t have let us travel in such a ostentatious way, and I’m sure the bodyguards would also have discovered these cars, but they just didn’t report them to you. They probably told Uncle Liu.”
"That's right. What you said makes sense. Why did he want us to go out like this? Isn't it a bit too much for him to use you as bait?"
Who is Liu Yating? She could guess Liu Guojun's thoughts in just a second, so she was a little unhappy. He was obviously using the trail as bait, hoping to see what other forces would do. Liu Yating naturally knew about it. The situation was now very clear. It is estimated that many forces knew about the existence of Xiaodao. It was normal for some people to miss him.
However, Liu Yating didn't think about it for too long, so she took the trail up the mountain. From here, there was still a winding stone staircase to walk, and then she could see the entrance of the temple in the jungle. Anyway, let's finish today's things first. She suddenly decided to come here today and didn't say hello to the monks in the temple in advance, so she didn't want to waste any more time.
Xiaodao didn't think there was anything wrong, so he followed Liu Yating directly up the mountain, observing the beautiful scenery around him as he walked. In fact, Xiaodao was filled with emotion. To be honest, the environment here is very similar to the place where he grew up. You must know that the Taoist temple where Xiaodao is located is also built on the mountain. Every day, he is accompanied by mountains and rivers and dependent on birds.
As I walked along the trail, I fell into memories. Unknowingly, I had distanced myself from Liu Yating and entered a state of memory.
Liu Yating was also walking when she noticed that the trail behind her was not following her, so she looked back and found that he seemed to be reminiscing about something. Because his eyes were blurry, she was smart enough to notice his state.
"Isn't it very similar to the place where you practiced? It makes you a little nostalgic for the past. Or do you miss your master again?"
"Sister Yating, you are really smart! You have seen all this. It seems that I have to be careful in the future, otherwise if I have any bad intentions, I will definitely be discovered by you. Yes, in a blink of an eye It’s been so long since I came out, I wonder how the old man is doing now?”
Looking at the scenery in the distance and the beauty in front of him, Xiaodao felt that time passed too fast, and it even felt unreal. He has just met a good woman like Liu Yating just after he entered the world to practice. Xiaodao really feels that he is too lucky, so he should work harder to improve his strength. Only in this way can he protect the people he cares about.
Liu Yating just smiled when she heard Xiaodao's words and said nothing more. She was very confident in her IQ, so she didn't need to say anything more. Otherwise, Xiaodao will feel that she is too smart, which is not a good thing. You must know that men don't like women who are too smart.
"By the way, Sister Yating, what did you mean by using me as bait just now?"
Xiaodao didn't want his deep feeling to affect Liu Yating's mood, so he didn't continue to dwell on this topic, but directly changed the topic. He directly asked the question in his mind just now. How could his identity be used as a bait? What fool would want to attack him!
Liu Yating did not answer him immediately. She needed to think carefully about what she wanted to say so that he could accept it. After all, it was his father who was plotting against him. If not, he would really feel uncomfortable! So Liu Yating thought about it carefully in her heart before slowly speaking out the answer.
"Actually, it's easier to understand. Didn't our Liu family defeat the Zhao family recently?"
Xiaodao nodded, indicating that he understood what Liu Yating said. It was really easy to understand that he would naturally win if he defeated the master Liu family.
"So this matter was known to many big families, so many people knew about your existence. They... are all human beings. Naturally, they guessed that you were the main reason for the victory. , so now you have become a favorite. Many families want your support, even if they use some special means, such as using a honey trap to let you find them by yourself. I guess now this There must be many beauties in the temple, and she must be the most beautiful girl in the big family. It seems that you are blessed today!"
Liu Yating said a little helplessly, knowing that she really didn't want to encounter such a thing, but his father obviously wanted her to witness such a scene with her own eyes. In order to achieve the purpose of giving her a sense of crisis, so that she can watch the trail by herself, otherwise she will be seduced by these beauties.
In fact, Liu Yating doesn't like competing with others for men like this. It's really a bit embarrassing. She is the princess of a family, why would she do this for a man? But she couldn't just leave it alone. This was Liu Guojun's great strength. You must know that Zhang Xiaodao was too important to the Liu family, so he definitely couldn't give up.
Another reason is that she is also a little reluctant to have her lane taken away by other women, so she really has to keep a close eye on him. At this time, she hated Liu Guojun's calculation very much. Although she knew that it was for her own good, this method was too... that way.
"There is such a thing, so I'm very curious. I want to see what kind of beauties they are. I really like their plan...haha!"
Xiaodao naturally took this opportunity to make Liu Yating angry. This time he had the advantage, so he had to give it a good show!
