After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Hoenji Temple is not far outside Kyoto.

It is said that a great monk had passed away there, so there has always been a constant stream of incense burning there.

When the snowstorm was severe before, Si Jiu had personally sent people to clear the road outside the temple that was blocked by snow.

Master Tianfa was indebted to him, and this favor was not only because he gave him the Reincarnation Lamp that allowed him to meet Wen Bai again.

There are other places too.

When Wen Baizhi and Si Jiu arrived outside Baoen Temple, they helped Wen Baizhi get off the carriage.

When Wen Baizhi got off the car, she looked up and saw the majestic Baoen Temple appearing in front of her, and she felt a sense of familiarity.

But when Wen Bai came here, she didn't actually believe in what these temples asked for, so she definitely had never been here.

But does this familiar feeling come from Wen Baizhi?

She didn't think about going any further and took Si Jiu's hand and entered the temple.

What the two of them didn't see was that under the locust tree not far away, a man in black glanced at them cunningly and turned away.

The further she walked in, the more familiar Wen Baizhi felt with the temple in front of her.

Si Jiu took her around the front and went straight to the meditation room at the back.

Earlier, Si Jiu sent Ping An here to make an appointment with Master Tianfa.

Master Tianfa was also waiting for the two in his meditation room at this time.

Outside the Zen room, Si Jiu knocked on the door and Master Tianfa responded from inside.

Si Jiu pushed the door open and took Wen Baizhi in.

The same monk as the one in the TV drama that Wen Baizhi had watched in modern times.

Master Tianfa was wearing a cassock and looked at the two of them with kind eyes.

It was just after Wen Baizhi sat down and when Si Jiu was about to introduce her, Master Tianfa spoke.

"I think the donor should have got what he wanted now."

When Si Jiu heard this, he smiled in understanding: "Master, you really have a keen eye. Yes, the person I've been waiting for has finally returned."

Tianfa was also very satisfied with the result: "In this case, congratulations to the donor."

Wen Baizhi finally had a chance to speak. She stood up and bowed respectfully to Tianfa: "Thank you, Master, for guiding Si Jiu and giving him such a good treasure. I really don't know how to express my gratitude."

Tianfa clasped his hands together in front of his chest and said, "Donor Si has a connection with me and with Buddha. This is all his own good fortune. It is his sincerity that moved the heavens."

Wen Baizhi nodded at him and sat back next to Si Jiu.

Si Jiu's eyes followed her until she sat down, then he said to Tian Fa, "Are Xiao Yuan and the others okay?"

Tianfa smiled and said, "They are all doing well. Every day during meals, they ask you when you will come to see them again."

Si Jiu then softened his expression and said, "It's been a long time since I last saw them. I had a lot of things to do before and spent very little time in Kyoto. Now, His Majesty has granted me a few days off. I can stay here for the next few days. I just hope that Master doesn't think I'm bothering you."

Tianfa waved his hands again and again: "No way, no way. If you can stay here for a few days, those kids will be so happy. I naturally have no objection. Besides, you donate so much money to Baoen Temple every year. You can stay here for one or two years."

Wen Baizhi was completely confused by their conversation.

What is Madoka, what are they.

What about the money for incense offerings?

Si Jiu seemed to notice her questioning look, so he held her hand and explained, "I'll take you to meet them during lunch later, and you'll know then."

The three of them then chatted for a while.

It was not until lunch time that a young monk came and called them to have lunch.

Tianfa had a ritual in the afternoon, so he did not go with them.

So the little monk took Si Jiu and the other two to the dining hall.

This was the first time in several lifetimes that Wen Baizhi had gone to the dining hall behind the temple.

After bringing them both there, the young monk went to get food.

Wen Baizhi was indeed a little hungry.

Si Jiu found a seat for her and asked her to sit down and wait for him while he went to get the food.

Si Jiu went there alone, and when he came back, he was followed by four little monks.

Wen Baizhi stood up unconsciously.

Si Jiu put the food on the table: "Please sit down first, I will introduce them to you."

When the young monks behind her saw her, they all looked very excited, but they were all polite and didn't make any noise to scare her.

Wen Baizhi sat down holding the corner of the table, Si Jiu sat beside her, and the other little monks sat at the other three corners.

After Si Jiu waited for them to sit down, he began to introduce these four people to her.

"These four are Wu Se, Wu Kong, Wu Fear, and the youngest one Wu Guan."

Judging from the names, they are the Buddhist names given to them after they became monks.

Wen Baizhi said: "Hello, I am Wen Baizhi. I am Si Jiu's wife."

She added this sentence.

It was the first time that Si Jiu heard her introduce herself like this.

The other four people also looked very excited after hearing this.

Si Jiu was not surprised: "They are still children, so it is inevitable that they will be a little excited. I hope you will not be scared by their enthusiasm."

Wen Baizhi naturally wouldn't say: "How could that be? They haven't said a word yet."

As soon as the voice fell, a little monk stood up and said: "Hello, Sister Wen, I am Wuguan, the youngest among them. I am very happy to meet you today. You must be the one that Brother Si has been waiting for."

Wen Baizhi smiled and said, "You are so thoughtful. I think you are right. I am the person your eldest brother Si is waiting for."

The person I have been waiting for since I was a child.

After hearing her admit this, several people became even more excited.

But after seeing Si Jiu sitting there calmly, they all stopped their actions.

Si Jiu brought some stir-fried vegetables to Wen Baizhi: "Let's eat first. I'll tell you what you're wondering after we finish eating."

Wen Baizhi did have a lot of questions, but the most urgent task was to fill her stomach first.

She picked up some stir-fried vegetables with chopsticks and found them tasted delicious.

She looked at Si Jiu in surprise.

Si Jiu knew that she would like it, so he picked up another lotus root slice and gave it to her: "Although the dishes here are all vegetarian, the advantage is that the raw materials are fresh and the chef can cook, so the taste is very good. If you like it, eat more."

Wen Baizhi thought the dish was really delicious and ate all the vegetarian dishes that Si Jiu had ordered.

I ate until my stomach was full before putting down my chopsticks.

Seeing that she was eating so happily, Si Jiu felt relieved.

After all, they plan to stay here for a while and will eat these. If Wen Baizhi is not used to them, he will be reluctant to let them go.

After they finished their meal, Wuguan said goodbye to them and left.

They also have to prepare for the afternoon ritual.

Before they left, Si Jiu reminded them, "While you are here, remember to protect your identity and never tell others about it. If you have any problems, you can always ask someone to come to me. I will be staying here for the next seven or eight days. If you are free, you can come to see me."

Several people looked at each other, unable to hide their joy.

After everyone left, Si Jiu took Wen Baizhi to the prepared meditation room.

"I know you must be curious about who they are and why they know me, right?"

Wen Baizhi said: "I knew I couldn't hide anything from you."

Si Jiu pushed aside the branches that were blocking her view and said, "They are all the children I secretly left behind after I was ordered to search their house."
