The end of the world begins with failing an exam

Chapter 202 Mangshan Temple

Mangshan Temple is located in the mountains on the northern outskirts of the provincial capital.

Compared with other temples in the provincial capital, it is too low-key to say that this temple is low-key, and it can even be said to have no sense of existence...

But Chen Jing has been here before.

So is Li Mobai.

That was when they were still studying.

In order to pray for good grades in the college entrance examination, the two worshiped all the temples and Taoist temples in the city with the mentality of fighting for a long time.

Even the only church in the provincial capital was spared.

Chen Jing still remembers the picture of himself praying helplessly to the statue of God.

At that time, Li Mobai was sitting in the back eating fried potatoes, causing all the believers who came to the church to roll their eyes at him.

"It's still the same here..."

When Chen Jing brought Qiao Youning to Mangshan Temple, he only found that there was no change from what he remembered.

The simple and empty temples are hidden in the mountains, and the mountain road paved with bluestone bricks on the ground is still covered with yellow mud after the rain.

Everything here looks very shabby.

The pervasive smell of decay is somewhat unsettling.

Chen Jing remembered that there lived an old monk here.

He is the only living person in Mangshan Temple.

When Chen Jing and Li Mobai came here for the first time, the chubby old monk specially gave them some scones, saying that they were made by mixing wild vegetables from the mountains, and they were delicious just out of the oven. !
But now... the old monk is gone.

Died, or moved away, it's all possible.

The front and back of the temple were empty and no one could be seen, and Chen Jing couldn't sense any aura other than him and Qiao Youning.

"It's so eerie here..." Qiao Youning said so, and deliberately leaned towards Chen Jing, but she was not scared at all by her expression, she seemed to be a little curious about this place.

"This place is not popular, it's normal to be spooky."

Chen Jing said and looked back at Bai Aji.

His eyes were full of warning.

Be good, don't run around, and don't follow into the temple.

In order not to accidentally collapse the outer wall.

"I just sent a message to Li Mobai. He said that they encountered a little trouble and might come later..." Qiao Youning said in a low voice.

"Then wait." Chen Jing smiled, raised his finger and pointed to the large water tank in the temple yard, "I made a wish here at the beginning."

With that said, Chen Jing took Qiao Youning over.

The water tank placed in the yard is about one meter in diameter, and it is filled with rainwater from rainy days. There is also a small ceramic bowl carved with dragons and phoenixes at the bottom of the tank, and some fifty cents coins are piled on the side.

"You made a wish on this big water tank back then?"

"Yeah, haven't you played it?" Chen Jing fumbled in his pocket as he spoke, as if looking for something, "I see that many temples have this thing..."

Qiao Youning shook her head, and asked curiously, "What are you looking for?"

"Do you have coins?" Chen Jing asked.

"No..."

"It's okay, here it is!"

Chen Jing glanced into the water tank, and before Qiao Youning could react, he had already rolled up his sleeves and thrust his right hand into the water tank, grabbing a handful of fifty-cent coins.

"Here you are." Chen Jing gave half to Qiao Youning, bent over and stood beside the water tank, staring at the small ceramic bowl at the bottom of the tank, "Don't touch the water, throw the coin down, if it falls into the bowl, it means you want Luckily..."

"Understood...then I'll try!"

Qiao Youning held her breath, aimed at the small bowl at the bottom of the tank, and carefully put down a coin.

With a splash, the coin fell into the water.

The route that was supposed to go vertically downward suddenly changed. The coin swayed left and right in the water, and finally fell beside the porcelain bowl.

"This requires cleverness." Chen Jing said with a smile, and then threw a coin... Under the expectant eyes of the two, the coin finally fell on the edge of the bottom of the vat, which was even worse than Qiao Youning.

Seeing Chen Jing's disappointed expression, Qiao Youning hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"It's all right! We still have a handful of coins! Take your time!"

"I wasn't in a hurry..."

Maybe it was because Chen Jing and the others had come, the empty temple finally had some life.

The two chattered non-stop in the yard, while Bai Aji yawned lying on his stomach outside the gate.

It would occasionally look up into the woods, only to find those noisy cicadas really annoying...

For such a rare and interesting entertainment.

Both Chen Jing and Qiao Youning cherish it.

From the beginning to the end, they kept the strength of their hands at the level of normal people.

Nobody wants to cheat.

But it is estimated that Chen Jing's luck is too bad.

Afterwards, Qiao Youning threw in more than a dozen coins one after another, but he couldn't throw in a single one in the end.

So at the back, Chen Jing couldn't help being a little irritable, and the more he tossed the coin, the more he tossed it, and he wanted to be direct...

"It's okay, take your time." Qiao Youning could see that Chen Jing was a little annoyed, and hurriedly comforted him, "I believe you can do it!"

"Don't coax me with coaxing children..." Chen Jing said dumbfounded, and was immediately discouraged.

Chen Jing squatted by the water tank, looking a little helpless.

He spread out his palm and took a look, only the last coin was left...

"I shouldn't be so unlucky..."

After carefully looking at it for about half a minute, Chen Jing carefully tossed out the last coin.

Plop into the water.

The coins fell unsteadily into the porcelain bowl.

Seeing this, Chen Jing couldn't help holding his breath, and watched it fall into the bowl eagerly... But when it fell to half the depth of the water, it shook violently and deviated from the original route again.

Seeing that the last coin was about to fall out of the porcelain bowl again, Chen Jing also sighed resignedly.

It seems that I am really unlucky, it is better to be careful recently, especially not to gamble with others, otherwise...

suddenly.

Only the sound of splashing water was heard.

Suddenly, an arm as white as jade stretched out from beside Chen Jing into the water tank.

The slender and slender knuckles instantly caught the coin that was about to fall to the bottom of the vat, and then slowly moved to the top of the bowl, and helped Chen Jing throw it in from close range, and it fell into the bowl accurately.

"That's not counting." Chen Jing said dejectedly, and turned his face to look at Li Mobai standing beside him, "The Buddha doesn't admit cheating."

"Dare to admit it and try."

Li Mobai stood beside Chen Jing with the backlight, his face seemed to be shrouded in shadow, but his smile was brighter than the sun.

The teeth in his mouth may also be artificially synthesized, and they are so bright that they dazzle people's eyes.

"My brother threw coins here to make a wish for him. If he dares to deny me, he will tear down this dilapidated temple!"

"Too bad luck, none of them entered..." Chen Jing sighed and stood up, looking back, there were more than a dozen people in strange clothes standing in the yard.

He had heard a series of footsteps behind him before.

It's just that at that time he was so absorbed in wishing for good luck that he was so absorbed in tossing the last coin that he didn't even bother to look back.

"Let me introduce to you..."

Li Mobai just flicked it lightly, and the water droplets on his arm were instantly wiped clean.

While putting down the long sleeves of the Taoist robe that he rolled up, he looked at the group of humans exuding the aura of the old descendants with a smile.

Under their uncertain gazes, Li Mobai hugged Chen Jing with his shoulders and back, grinning with his teeth bared, not to mention how brilliant it was.

"This is my brother! Chen Jing!"
