"Amitabha."

The old monk clasped his hands together and saluted, with an old and deep voice: "You two Tanyues, the gate of our temple is closed, and all the monks and monks are doing evening classes. If you burn incense and fulfill your vows, please come back tomorrow."

Chen Chong laughed and said: "We are visiting friends at Yunlai Temple today. We were greedy for the scenery on the way back, so we accidentally missed the time, so we had to follow the drumbeat and come here. Master, if we want to stay here for a night, we don't know. How much sesame oil do I have to donate?"

The monk didn't reply, his dim eyes glanced at the two people in front of him, wondering whether he should agree or not.

In such a cold weather, the caller was only wearing two unlined clothes, and his hair was unkempt, so he had no identity.

The other person is thinner and weaker, the material of the clothes looks like high-quality goods, his appearance is delicate and clean, he is probably a noble son in the city.

Judging from the fact that the young master didn't say a word and let the strong man call the door, it seems that these two people are probably in the relationship of master and servant.

This kind of master and servant is very common in Yunnan and Guizhou, so it should be no problem.

Thinking of this, the old monk called the Buddha's name again, and then said: "This Tanyue is joking, my Buddha opens the door of convenience, and there is absolutely no reason to inconvenience others. There are still a few shabby rooms in the temple. If two If you don’t dislike it, please make do with it for one night!”

"Thank you, Master."

A Ke lowered her voice, replied muffledly, and walked in with the old monk.

The old monk led the way and asked, "The monks don't eat after noon, and there is probably no food left in the kitchen at this time. If you two really want to eat, you have to wait for the monks to finish their evening classes.

Vegetarian food in this temple tastes good, and there is a menu in the guest room. At that time, the two of you can order by yourself, and then let the monk hand it over to the kitchen for cooking. "

The two of them had enough food, so of course they wouldn't be hungry, but since the old monk said so, Chen Chong wanted to try the vegetarian dishes here.

Then he said: "That's fine, then let's try the craftsmanship of your temple's pyrotechnics."

After finishing speaking, he casually asked: "Master, my young master was chatting with a master from Yunlai Temple earlier. I heard that there is a master Yulin who is superb in Buddhism. I wonder if he is practicing in Hongjue Temple?"

The old monk didn't realize that Chen Chong had ulterior motives, so he just replied: "Uncle Yulin has practiced for many years, deeply studied the Three Treatises and Two Truths, and the Dharma is naturally superb."

A Ke quickly asked: "Excuse me, how can I meet Master Yulin?"

Hearing that Monk Yulin was really in Hongjue Temple, the girl was unavoidably excited, and her voice was even a little out of tune.

Chen Chong touched A Ke secretly, and signaled her to be calm with his eyes, so as not to reveal his real target.

The old monk didn't notice the small gestures of the two of them, he didn't know whether he was unwilling to answer, or he was deliberately holding his appetite, so he just said, "If there is a destiny, we will meet each other."

The three of them walked all the way, and after a while they came to a courtyard, Chen Chong glanced at it, and knew it was a guest room just by looking at the layout of the house.

"You two, Tanyue, there are two vacant rooms for Ding Geng in this courtyard, and the interior is generally the same, please choose one to rest!"

The welcoming monk stretched out his hand and was about to leave without hesitation, but his sleeves tightened.

Looking back, I saw the burly man with a smile on his face, but he was holding the hem of his clothes in his hands.

Chen Chong stuffed an ingot of grain silver into the monk's hand, and asked with a smile, "Teacher, go slowly. My son really wants to see Zen Master Yulin. I wonder if we can arrange one or two? If we can't arrange it, we can live closer to Zen Master Yulin." good."

The old monk glanced left and right, seeing that no one was paying attention, he immediately covered the silver ingot with his hand.

The bony hand retracted into the sleeve robe, and just casually weighed it, and knew that it was an ingot weighing twelve feet.

Immediately, the gully on his face stretched out, like a blooming old chrysanthemum.

The old monk looked solemn, and sang the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, it seems that the two benefactors have a heart for the Buddha. It is getting late today, and the old monk will definitely report to Zen Master Yulin tomorrow to let the two of you get their wish."

Good guy, really good guy.

If you don't give money, it's Tanyue. If you give money, you immediately change your name to be a benefactor. This old monk's business is slippery!

But then again, isn't Tan Yue the meaning of a benefactor?

Who is this guy bullying without culture?

Chen Chong slandered a few words, pretending not to understand, and asked: "Thank you, Master, where would you like to ask, where does Zen Master Yulin live? Tomorrow, the young master and I will wait earlier, so we can have more time to ask about Zen."

Although the purpose of this trip was to find someone, it was actually to reunite A Ke's family. After finding someone, he had to consider how to get him out of Yunnan.

So before entering Hongjue Temple, Chen Chong had already considered that it would be best not to make a big show this time, but to get Ake's parents away secretly.

Asking about the residence of Monk Yulin was naturally to find out where Chen Yuanyuan and Li Zicheng were.

These two people had special identities, Chen Chong believed that even if they were monks, they would not sleep in Datong bunk like the monks.

But the welcoming monk didn't know what he was thinking. Hearing what Chen Chong said, he thought that these two people were really dedicated to Buddha.

For the benefactor, the old monk still wanted to treat the benefactor with care, so he immediately advised: "You two benefactors don't have to do this. Tomorrow, the old monk will ask the little novice to invite the two of you to go. The mountain is bitterly cold in the morning and evening. It's better not to get up too early."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and motioned the two to look at a small building in the distance: "Uncle Yulin lives in Qixia Courtyard and Banruo Building, and it's not very far from here, so there must be no delay."

Chen Chong hurriedly looked up, and saw a small building standing a mile away, with big lanterns hanging on the four corners of the building, clearly illuminating the carvings on the beams.

The two looked at each other with a smile, and then A Ke said: "Since I'm going to see the Zen master tomorrow, I won't eat too much tonight, please ask the master to let me know, and ask the kitchen to cook a bowl of sweet porridge, and the rest will be done." According to the master's arrangement."

"Amitabha, this is very good."

The old monk smiled gratifiedly. This man is so generous and respectful to his uncle. It seems that there is another long-term meal ticket in the temple.

----

night.

All sounds are silent.

A black shadow rushed up to the ridge of the roof and swept towards the Qixia courtyard without making a sound.

A Ke leaned on the man's back, put her mouth close to Chen Chong's ear and whispered, "Brother Chong, that little monk won't lie to us, will he?"

The girl exhaled like blue,

Chen Chong's ears were hot and itchy, he couldn't help twisting his neck, and hugged the girl on his back even tighter.

"Practice and subordinate, the old monk collects money to do things, why can't the young monk accept it?"

He sneered, and his tone was full of disdain. The two of them used the Jin Yuan Dafa again, and the little novice who delivered the porridge fell directly.

After collecting 20 taels of silver, the two got a lot of clues from him.

For example, Monk Yulin has a high status in the monastery, so he doesn't easily accept disciples. Once he becomes his disciple, he can immediately leave Datongpu and live in Qixia courtyard.

Currently there are only seven disciples under his sect, among them is a monk named Feng Tianyu, this person is originally a wandering monk, but he is very fond of Yulin monk, he has been a teacher for many years.

What is rather strange is that among the six disciples mentioned by the little novice monk, none of them was named "Silence".

This setback is not a big deal, after all, as long as Li Zicheng is found, Chen Yuanyuan will never escape.
