Chapter 150 There Are So Many Suitors!

Li Ling and Shen Lang entered the main hall of the temple.

In the main hall, cigarette smoke curled up, and the faint smoke floated from the incense candle holder, and drifted out of the main hall with the breeze.

The two saw the nun they had seen on the street that day. The middle-aged nun was wearing a dark red monk's robe and her eyes were bright.She sat cross-legged and opened her mouth from time to time.

Opposite the nun, there were more than a dozen monks sitting cross-legged. Some of these monks looked middle-aged and some looked old.They either have their eyes closed and only open them when they open their mouths; or they hold Buddhist beads in their hands and seem to be reciting Buddhist sutras silently.

This nun was debating the Dharma with these dozen or so monks by herself.

Because they are all Buddhists, their faces are all flat, even when they are debating, their expressions don't change much, and there will be no times when they get red in the face.

The voice of the middle-aged nun was clear and grand, and the voices of the monks were steady and dignified. Just like you and me, the debate in the presence of the old gods made the onlookers listen with gusto.

With the look of this nun, there are also two strong female guards standing.

The onlookers surrounded the dozen or so monks and the nun in the center.Among these people, some listened attentively to their debates, while some had pious faces and muttered words in their mouths.

Most of the people standing outside were just watching the fun, with curiosity on their faces.

After Li Ling and Shen Lang squeezed into the crowded main hall, they did not push to the front, but stood far away on the periphery, listening to the nuns and monks arguing.

Li Ling said softly, "I don't understand."

Shen Lang said calmly, "Me too."

Shen Lang put the kitten in his hand on his shoulder, looked at the situation in the hall, and said softly: "Maybe, he can understand."

"Who?" Li Ling asked.

Shen Lang raised a smile on his mouth: "Of course it is my bamboo horse, the person who is now high and high. He has read a lot since he was a child, and sometimes he has to accompany his father to meet with eminent monks...knows much better than the two of us. "

"Oh." Li Ling understood.What Shen Lang said was his majesty Sima Zhen.In this hall, it was crowded with people, Shen Lang naturally would not mention the word "Your Majesty", so as not to attract the attention of others.

Li Ling said: "It's a pity that he is not here. If he were here, tell us a little bit, and we don't have to 'blind' here."

The little cat on Shen Lang's shoulder glanced at Li Ling.

Shen Lang touched the kitten, smiled and said: "You are right. But, no matter if I understand it or not, I will never be interested in these things in my life."

Li Ling smiled.

The two of them stood in the main hall for a while, not so much listening to the enlightened nun discussing Taoism with the monks, but rather listening to the gossips of the common people.

Li Ling stood in the main hall and heard the people around her whispering like she and Shen Lang.

Hearing the whispers of these common people, Li Ling learned some news.

For example, this female nun from Shengbenguo, a neighboring country, is called "Faxi".This master Faxi was born in the noble family of Shengben, with a noble status.She came to Xianshu Kingdom just to discuss the Tao with Master Jiaxue of Cishou Temple, but Master Jiaxue didn't see her, so she temporarily stayed in the guest room of Cishou Temple for several days.She put down her words, if she could defeat all the masters in Cishou Temple, she must meet Master Jiaxue.

For example, this Cishou Temple is an old temple that has stood for hundreds of years. It has a long-standing reputation and there are countless eminent monks in the temple.Although Cishou Temple is not a royal temple, it is also the most popular temple in the capital.Countless men and women will come to this temple to pray to God and worship Buddha.Even without Master Faxi, the temple would still be filled with people and incense.

For another example, the master of Jiaxue is said to be from the noble family of the Xianshu Kingdom, and has been living in seclusion in the back mountain of Cishou Temple.His Dharma is profound, and he looks like a fairy born out of this world.This Jiaxue master has always lived in seclusion, and he is surrounded by several master guards.There was a first-rank member of the court who asked to see Master Jiaxue, but he was rejected in the end, and he never got to see him.

After a while, Shen Lang and Li Ling looked at each other, and they silently squeezed out of the main hall.

Li Ling whispered: "It sounds more and more like what we guessed... Master Jiaxue was born in a noble family, so he may have met the Empress when he was a boy. He looks like a fairy born in the world. An expert guard can calmly refuse to be a first-rank official... No matter how you look at it, it seems to have something to do with that empress."

Shen Lang turned his head, looked up at the main hall, and seemed to look at the quiet back mountain through the high temple in the main hall: "That's right. Regardless of whether the empress' wish is his or not, this master Jiaxue must be the empress." The people I knew when I was young, and I haven't completely broken off the relationship so far."

Li Ling thought for a moment, but still couldn't think of a way: "Master Faxi can't even see Master Jiaxue, how can we see him?"

Shen Lang shook his head: "I don't know. This can't be done in a moment. Let's stay in this temple temporarily like the nun..."

Li Ling nodded.

Cishou Temple is a hundred-year-old temple, under the prosperity of incense, the guest rooms are also fully equipped.

In the past, many common people lived temporarily in the temple.Some people only live temporarily for a day or two, and some people even live in the temple for a year or two because of various reasons.

Of course, unless the abbot in the temple nods, ordinary accommodation still requires incense money.

Li Ling and Shen Lang said they wanted to stay temporarily, the young monk in the temple asked them a few words and made a few registrations before asking them to stay.

The guest rooms of the temple are quiet and quiet, not as lively as the main hall.The guest room is not big, and the decoration is very simple. Even the thin quilt on the wooden bed feels cool to the touch.

At noon, Li Ling and Shen Lang ate a meal in the temple with other temporary residents.

The items on the big table were all vegetarian, and the taste was very bland. Among them was a dish of pickled pickled radish, which was clear and white, sour and delicious. Li Ling liked it so much that he almost chose that dish to eat.

Shen Lang ate the vegetarian food in the temple without saying a word.

Li Ling was beautiful and Shen Lang was charming, which made the common people dining with them secretly look at them, secretly thinking that these two must be nobles.

While eating, a luxuriously dressed young woman walked up to Shen Lang with a smile and asked "Fang's name".

Shen Lang slammed, put the chopsticks on the wooden table, and said coldly: "This is a temple."

The young girl was immediately frightened by Shen Lang's sarcastic remarks, and walked away with an embarrassed expression on her face.

Looking at Shen Lang's indifferent face, Li Ling felt a little funny for some reason.

In this world of female heroes, Shen Lang is really "popular"!

There was Zhanting in the past, and now even living in the temple, there is a luxuriously dressed girl, there are so many suitors!

Shen Lang looked at Li Ling with a straight face, and there was a hint of resentment in his voice: "Tiao Tiao, I saw you snickering."

"Pfft—" Looking at Shen Lang's resentful eyes, Li Ling couldn't help laughing anymore.

Seeing this, the little cat sitting next to Shen Lang leaped lightly and landed on Li Ling's shoulder, facing Shen Lang with a bright smile in his eyes.

With a straight face, Shen Lang threatened: "Don't laugh anymore! I'm going to turn my face!"

"Oh oh oh," Li Ling covered her mouth with one hand, "Well, I won't laugh anymore."

Li Ling covered his mouth, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be stopped.

A flash of surprise flashed in Shen Lang's eyes.

He remembered the first time he saw Li Ling. She was covered in blood, guarded, and had thorns in her eyes.At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten the doomsday zombie world full of thorns, and a girlish smile bloomed in this peaceful world.

The beauty is like a flower, with a bright smile, it is shockingly beautiful.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the kitten standing on Li Ling's shoulder. The white kitten was also smiling and looking at Li Ling intently, with a rare gentle and close look.

Shen Lang's heart was empty.

In an instant, Shen Lang threw away the reverie in his mind.

"You——ah!" There was a trace of helplessness on Shen Lang's face, seeing the smile on Li Ling's face, he couldn't hold back, and laughed too.
