"Since it was arranged by my uncle, let's have a look at it first." The host said, and said to them: "you tell me, let the disciples in the temple treat benefactor Tang as an ordinary disciple, and tell the disciples to keep quiet about his identity and origin. This is also what the master ordered at the beginning."
"Yes." They answered, saluted, and then retreated.
In the early morning of the next day, the distant bell of the ancient temple echoed among the mountains and forests. Among the Ten Thousand Buddhas, there were few Pilgrims who came to worship the Buddha and add incense and oil. Therefore, the disciples in the temple were doing morning lessons, reciting Scriptures or practicing martial arts.
The host, alone, came to the courtyard where downing lived.
"Good morning, abbot." Qimu Feng, dressed in dazzling red, came out and said hello to him. Then he came to the main house and knocked on the door: "master, the abbot is coming."
The door opened and donning, dressed in green and sleepy, came out with a yawn as he rubbed his eyes. When he saw the host, he called out: "host, so early!"
She couldn't sleep last night and didn't go to sleep until daybreak, which would have made her face confused! If it wasn't for the host saying that she would come to talk to her today, she really didn't want to get up.
"Benefactor Tang." After a ceremony, the host looked at the praying wind and said, "benefactor pray, can you avoid it first?" What he wants to say is the secret of Buddhism. Naturally, he hopes that the less people know, the better.
Pray for the wind to smile: "no problem, you chat, I'll go to have breakfast, a while to the temple." Then he said to Downing, "master, I'll bring you steamed bread when I come back."
Downing looked at him and said nothing. Seriously, the food in the temple is a little too light. She was wondering, could it be the reason why she didn't eat the meat last night?
"Host, please sit down." Downing asked him to sit down, poured two glasses of water, and waited for him to speak.
"Benefactor Tang..."
"Host, just call me Xiao Tang." She said with a smile.
Hearing this, the host laughed and said, "OK, Xiao Tang, today Lao Na came to tell you about the general situation of the temple. Yesterday, you asked Lao Na about the theft of Buddhist scriptures and scriptures in the temple? I'll tell you now
"In fact, as early as several decades ago, the Buddhist scriptures and scriptures of the ten thousand Buddhists were stolen. At that time, many Buddhist scriptures were burned, and the spiritual veins in the holy land of ten thousand Buddhists were also destroyed. As a result, the strength of the disciples in the temple has been difficult to break through. It is because of this that some disciples continue to return to the secular world, and the ten thousand Buddhists are gradually declining and famous It's not as good as before. "
Tang Ning nodded: "I heard the old monk mention that."
"In the past, ten thousand Buddhists were at their peak, and there were many pilgrims from all over the country. However, over the years, because there were no real Buddhas to sit in the temple, the number of pilgrims began to decrease gradually. In recent years, only some old believers would occasionally come to add some incense and oil money, and almost no one would come to the Ten Thousand Buddhas."
Speaking of this, he sighed: "the Buddhist Scripture stolen some time ago is not the original version. It is just a copy of the Buddhist Scripture copied by the supreme ancestor at that time. It has been provided in the temple all the time. But I didn't expect that we could not even keep the Buddhist scriptures copied by the emperor."
