Qiulu Nunnery is located on the top of Qiulu Mountain. It is a nunnery that has not been opened for a long time.

According to the information obtained by Shi Jin when he was climbing the mountain, it was found that this nunnery was moved to Qiulu Mountain three years ago and was renamed Qiulu Nunnery.

After climbing for about 10 minutes, we reached the top of the mountain.

Unexpectedly, there are not many tourists in Qiulu Mountain, but the incense in this Qiulu Temple is quite strong.

Guang Shijin stood in front of the door for just a few minutes, and saw five or six people holding incense candles and inserting them into the incense burner in front of the door, bowing sincerely.

The lingering incense envelops the small Autumn Deer Temple, and the rich smoke smokes the eyes, making people's eyes want to shed tears.

There are not many nuns in the Qiulu Nunnery, except for a middle-aged nun offering incense candles in front of the incense stand, most of the rest are busy with their own affairs,

Shi Jin stepped into the door and followed the path of other pilgrims to the incense stand.

"Amitabha." The middle-aged nun wearing a nun's robe clasped her palms together, closed her eyes and said a Buddha's name: "Dare to ask the benefactor to ask for something?"

The nun was wearing a blue-gray monk's robe, and her complexion was fair. Although there were some fine lines around her eyes, she could still tell that she must have been a beauty when she was young.

Shi Jin paused: "Peace."

The nun counted three incense sticks and handed them to him, then led him to the incense burner and watched him insert the incense into the incense burner.

The majestic golden statue of Buddha is located in the main hall in front of the incense burner, with compassionate eyes.

Shi Jin straightened up and thanked the nun.

"You don't have to be polite." The middle-aged nun lowered her eyebrows and smiled, then raised her head again: "If you need a benefactor, you can go to the place of Buddha's fate in front of the hall to ask for a Buddhist relic."

The land of Buddha's fate?

Shi Jin followed her gaze and found that the so-called "Land of Buddha's Fate" was just a small shop selling souvenirs.

He thanked the nun and walked towards the shop.

This small shop is just like all souvenir shops in tourist attractions. Except for some Buddhist beads and peace charms that are said to have been consecrated by Qiulu Temple, the rest are basically small commodities that are voluntary wholesale. Change the name and change the packaging. It has become a specialty of Qiulu Mountain.

Shi Jin walked around the small shop, and found that the family of three who got off the car together just now also came up.

Seeing Shi Jin, his wife smiled softly, but the tired and panting girl just now waved excitedly at him: "Big Brother!"

Shi Jin's lips curled up, and she walked over: "Are you also looking at the souvenirs?"

"Yes." The wife smiled and touched her daughter's head: "Come ask for a peace talisman."

After a few brief conversations, the husband came back with the prayer beads and peace amulets he bought: "Let's go, go and offer incense to the Buddha."

Perhaps it was because seeing him having a conversation with the family of three, the nun in the small shop came over: "Do you need a peace talisman, sir?"

Shi Jin thought for a while, followed the nun to the cabinet.

A few strings of Buddhas and some peace charms are placed in the transparent glass cabinet, and there are price tags below. The cheapest ones are a few peace charms for peace, priced at 66.

Listening to the nun's introduction, Shi Jin asked her to take out the safety amulets according to her wishes: "I want three, no, four."

While the nun was wrapping up the peace talisman, Shi Jin asked casually: "I just saw that the two of them came up by cable car. Isn't the cable car in Qiulu Mountain only open to the staff?"

The nun raised her head and looked in the direction he pointed: "Those two benefactors are pilgrims in the nunnery, and they add sesame oil and money to the nunnery all the year round."

"The cable car is indeed only open to the staff of the scenic spot and the people in the nunnery, but because the two benefactors often go up to the mountain for a short stay, the host asked the staff to give them convenience."

Shi Jin keenly captured a key word: "Small stay? Does the nunnery still provide accommodation services?"

"Yes." The nun looked young, and her temperament had not yet been fully cultivated: "From time to time, there will be pilgrims coming to stay in the nunnery, mostly for a day or two."

She handed the wrapped safety talisman to Shi Jin, and added another sentence: "If the benefactor wants to stay in the nunnery for a while, he can go to the host, and the host will personally manage the accommodation in the nunnery."

Shi Jin scanned the QR code on the counter with her mobile phone: "Thank you."

When putting away his mobile phone, his gaze inadvertently skipped over the counter and paused.

The nun followed his gaze and saw that he seemed to be looking at the red string at the corner of the cabinet: "Do you want a red string? You can wear it on your hand for safety."

Shi Jin was silent for a moment, and after a while, he lowered his eyelids, the expression in his eyes was restrained by the long black eyelashes.

"no need."

The nun looked at the young man in black walking out of the shop with some doubts.

But soon she laughed again: "I sold so many peace charms today, the host will definitely praise me."

She counted the rest of the safe charms in the cabinet with some joy, thinking that she would have to go to the host to ask for some more later.

In his thoughts, a dark shadow fell in front of him.

The nun raised her head, and saw a handsome man standing in front of him, with sharp eyebrows slightly raised: "What did he just look at?"

She came back to her senses: "Who is the benefactor asking?"

Yu Ci's gaze scanned the transparent glass cabinet, but he didn't think there was anything worth paying attention to.

"The one who left just now is dressed in black and looks like a fairy."

His description was simple, but the nun knew it right away: "The benefactor bought some peace charms. Before he left, he was looking at this red string, but he didn't buy it."

Yu Ci followed her line of sight and saw the red rope at the corner of the cabinet.

The red rope is an ordinary braided red rope, just like the hand ropes that can be seen everywhere in the streets. There is no pendant or any special design, just a simple loop.

Yu Ci didn't see anything special, but he still said: "I want it, please pretend it for me."

When he went out with the wrapped red rope, Yu Ci looked around the nunnery, but he didn't see the person he was looking for.

He frowned and took out his phone.

A middle-aged nun not far away came over and said, "Amitabha."

Her gaze scrutinized Yu Ci vaguely, and then she stayed on the watch on his wrist, asking out a voice to test: "Why do benefactors need help from a poor nun?"

Out of respect, Yu Ci turned off the screen: "I want to ask my teacher to help me find someone."

The eyes of the middle-aged nun flashed, she relaxed her vigilance slightly, looked around, lowered her voice: "Please follow me, the abbot is behind."

Yu Ci frowned slightly.

Does he need to notify the abbot first to find someone?

Although it felt a bit weird, Yu Ci still kept up with the nun.

The Autumn Deer Temple looks small from the outside, but it bypasses the main hall and passes through a secret path, and behind it is a large locked courtyard.

Before entering the door, the nun turned her head and glanced at him, and asked a strange question: "Is the benefactor a temporary idea or has been thinking for a long time?"

Do you find someone who has a temporary idea or a long-standing thought?

Yu Ci looked at the nun who was still waiting for him to speak: "None."

The vigilance in the nun's eyes completely dissipated, she turned around and took the key to open the lock: "The benefactor must have come here for fame, we will definitely not let you down."

Before Yu Ci could speak, the nun pushed open the courtyard door, revealing a courtyard inside.

"This is the residence in the nunnery." She led the people behind into the courtyard: "I will take the benefactor to see the host first, the price and candidates can be discussed with the host later."

Price and selection?

Yu Ci's brows were tightened suddenly, and the weirdness in his heart came to the fore.

When the nun turned around to look, he frowned, with a lazy expression on his face, and his eyes casually swept across the simple courtyard, as if a little disgusted: "Your environment is a bit rough."

The nun cautiously looked outside the courtyard, and after confirming that no one else was coming, she closed the courtyard door and locked it from the inside.

She was not angry when she heard Yu Ci's slightly disgusting words: "The benefactor, let's make things right first. After the benefactor and the host decide on a candidate, the poor nun will take you to the wing in the backyard."

Yu Ci glanced at her, and reluctantly agreed: "Okay."

"Let's say it first, if I'm not satisfied, I'll just leave."

"The benefactor is too worried. There are many candidates in the nunnery. The benefactor will be satisfied."

-

The conversation between the nun and the man gradually weakened, and finally disappeared completely.

Shi Jin walked out from behind the tree in the corner, looked at the closed courtyard door with condensed eyes.

He came here following the two middle-aged men he saw at the foot of the mountain.

Compared with other people who came to Qiulu Nunnery to pay respects to the Buddha, their behavior was really abnormal. When they entered the temple nunnery, they did not pay respect to the Buddha and did not pay homage.

At first, Shi Jin just suspected that these two people might be criminals who committed the crime, but just now he heard from the nun in the shop that they were regular visitors to the nunnery and frequently donated sesame oil money to the nunnery, obviously they were not poor people generation.

only......

He didn't expect to get such unexpected information here.

The nun who was in charge of guarding the gate had just gone to the toilet when no one locked it on the outside of the gate.

Shi Jin looked through the crack of the wooden door, and found that the lock inside was the kind of bolt type lock that was commonly used in the early years.

This kind of door lock that is fixed by the fall of the bolt is easy to open.

Shi Jin picked up a branch from the ground and passed through the crack of the door, flicking her wrist lightly, the door bolt was lifted by the branch.

"squeak--"

The courtyard door opened.

Shi Jin quickly dodges in and closes the courtyard door with his backhand.

There was no one in the courtyard, which he just saw through the crack of the door.

This is a neat courtyard house, with rooms on the left and right sides, but the doors and windows are closed, so it is impossible to see whether there are people living inside.

There is a rockery in the middle of the courtyard, bypassing the rockery is another door opposite to the courtyard gate.

Shi Jin took a look and found that the door was locked from the inside.

There seemed to be nothing to investigate.

Almost the second after he thought of this, a door on the right side opened.

The person in the room was holding a wooden basin, and just about to step out, she saw Shi Jin standing in the courtyard, she seemed to be startled, and quickly closed the door again.

Shi Jin frowned.

The door closed too fast, he only had time to take a quick glance, but he still saw the appearance of the people inside.

She has a thin figure, a fair face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and cherry lips. Even a blue-gray nun hat can't hide her beauty.

Not very old, and not like a nun.

While thinking, there was a sound of unlocking the door leading to the backyard.

There seemed to be nowhere to hide in the empty courtyard except for the rockery in the center, but because of his investigation just now, he walked to the corner of the courtyard some distance away from the rockery, and the time to unlock the lock was not enough for him to escape.

There is no way to avoid it, and there is no way to avoid it.

Shi Jin raised her eyes, staring at the courtyard door coldly, intending to strike first.

The courtyard door was pushed open, revealing two people standing on the other side.

When the nun saw someone outside the courtyard, she was startled at first, and then she was about to ask questions when she heard the guest next to her say, "Are you here?"
