Chapter 39
in the restaurant.

A large group of diners were discussing the matter of the appearance of an eminent monk outside the city.

"Have you heard? An eminent monk came from the ruined temple outside the city, and he was sitting in an oil pan and chanting scriptures!"

"I've heard about it, my guy even went over to take a look, that eminent monk is really amazing."

"The strange thing is that so many people watched and talked to him, but he didn't respond to a word, and many people gave people incense money, but they didn't take any money."

"Or how can you say that someone is a high-ranking monk? The disciples under the master's seat have said that only those who have a relationship with the Buddha can let the master speak. As for these extraneous things in the mortal world, how could the master pay attention to them?" inside."

"Eat quickly, eat quickly, let's go and have a look after we finish eating, maybe there is a predestined relationship with the master among us!"

Wen Ruyan passed by several tables in a row, seeing that all the guests were talking about this, he couldn't help but become curious.Of course, what he was curious about was not the chanting in the frying pan. In his opinion, it was just a trick. There is no physical knowledge in this world. This kind of thing suddenly appeared in front of the public, and they didn’t believe it. ghost.

But Wen Ruyan knew this principle. What he was curious about was why the so-called eminent monk did this. He ignored everyone and didn't charge money. Is it just for fame?

As soon as Wen Ruyan walked to the counter, Wei Xiaoxiao who was standing inside quickly grabbed his sleeve and said excitedly, "Brother Ziqian, did you hear what those customers said?"

Wen Ruyan glanced at her in surprise and nodded.

Wei Xiaoxiao went on to say: "I don't know how many guests this is, everyone is talking about the eminent monk who has attained the Tao, it seems that the real Buddha really came to the world, you will follow me later Shall I go and have a look?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruyan stared at Wei Xiaoxiao curiously and asked, "Do you also believe in Buddhism?"

"Well, I used to go to temples to burn incense and worship Buddha, and now this is the real Buddha coming into the world, maybe we are destined for that eminent monk, maybe we can let that eminent monk pray for us and my father What!" Wei Xiaoxiao said with a look of longing.

Wen Ruyan curled her lips involuntarily, and said, "The real Buddha came to the world? You think too much, I'm not interested in this."

Hearing that he didn't want to go, Wei Xiaoxiao grabbed his sleeve and shook it back and forth, and said coquettishly, "Brother Ziqian, just go and have a look with me, okay? Okay? Okay?"

At this moment, Father Wei also came over from the back kitchen. He heard Wei Xiaoxiao's words just now, and he couldn't help laughing at this moment: "Ziqian, it's almost time for dinner anyway, and the guests don't count." There are too many, and you two don’t need your help here, or you can take Xiao Xiao over to have a look, this girl has believed in this since she was a child, if you don’t let her go and look, she won’t be able to sleep for several days.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruyan glanced at Wei Xiaoxiao, only to see that she was looking at him eagerly, so she shook her head helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll accompany you to have a look."

"Brother Ziqian, you are so kind!" Seeing that he agreed, Wei Xiaoxiao cheered and said.

Father Wei smiled at Wen Ruyan, turned his head to Wei Xiaoxiao at the counter and said, "Okay, you hurry up and change into some quick clothes. You're meeting an eminent monk, so you can't disrespect him!"

Well, it turns out that Daddy and Xiaoxiao are like-minded people.Wen Ruyan murmured to himself.

After hearing what her father said, Wei Xiaoxiao thought about it carefully, and it was the same reason. She said to Wen Ruyan to wait for a while, then quickly walked out of the counter and ran towards her room.

at the same time.

High House.

Ye Linxue has been recuperating here for a few days, and the minor wounds on her body have healed up. Only the wound on her shoulder will take some time, but this has not affected her getting out of bed and walking around in the slightest. .

Right now, she was reading a book in the room. Madam Gao opened the door and walked in. When she thought of the news that the servants said, she couldn't restrain her excitement, and forgot to knock on the door.

Seeing Mrs. Gao walk in suddenly, Ye Linxue asked suspiciously, "Auntie, what's the matter? Did something make you happy?"

Mrs. Gao hurriedly walked over to Ye Linxue and sat down, then took the book in her hand and put it on the table, then hurriedly said: "Girl, have you heard? A desolate man came from the ruined temple outside the city." The Taoist monk sits in a boiling oil pot all day long and recites sutras."

Ye Linxue also heard her little maid Cheng'er say a few words about this matter just now, but she was not interested in it at all. It's not that she suspected that the eminent monk was a liar, it's just that she was born like this, and only poetry and songs could attract her attention. Fu, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, military strategy, apart from these, he has no interest in other things at all.

Now when Madam Gao told her about this, she couldn't help but respond, "Well, I heard, what's the matter?"

"What's the matter? You girl still ask me what's the matter? Why is your head so stubborn? This is a monk who has attained the Tao. I'm afraid ordinary people will never see it once in a lifetime. What's the matter? Hurry up and clean up, wait Come with me to meet that eminent monk later." Seeing her calm face, Mrs. Gao said angrily.

Ye Linxue shook her head slightly, and said helplessly, "Auntie, you also know that I'm not interested in these things."

"I know you're not interested in these things, it's fine if it's normal, but right now you have to go with me." Mrs. Gao said firmly.

"Why?" Ye Linxue was surprised.

"Tell me why, see for yourself how many bad things you have encountered recently." Having said this, Mrs. Gao hurriedly got up and walked to the door of the room, carefully looked around, and saw that there was no one outside, and then closed the door He closed it, came back and sat down and said in a low voice: "First, the emperor bestowed a marriage on the dandy Prince Jing, and the last thing I expected was that Prince Jing escaped from marriage, making you and your father lose so much money." Face, you have just left Yanjing, and you have been assassinated again, and you have suffered such a serious injury. Tell me, you are full of bad luck and you don’t know it. Why don’t you hurry up and take this opportunity to beg me That eminent monk, pray for you, to get rid of bad luck?"

Seeing Mrs. Gao explain her recent incidents one by one, Ye Linxue didn't know what to say. Although she also felt that she had been unlucky recently, she didn't think that going to see the eminent monk would be enough. fixed.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Mrs. Gao said bitterly, "You girl, what are you still thinking about? Change your clothes quickly and follow me!"

"aunt.."

Seeing that she insisted on letting her go, Ye Linxue was about to speak when she interrupted her: "This matter is not discussed, you must go with me. Since you are here in Jinling, you must listen to me!"

Seeing Mrs. Gao's persistence, Ye Linxue smiled wryly, but had no choice but to get up and pack up.

Outside Jinling City.That ruined temple.

This place is located in the north of Jinling City. Unlike other temples, it is not located on a mountain, but stands on an empty flat land, surrounded by a few scattered groves, nothing else.It is precisely because of this that the area of ​​the temple is not small. The courtyard outside the main hall alone is four or five acres in size.

Usually there are few people here, but at this moment, there are people everywhere, bustling with people, and there are thousands of people.Although the place was empty and the area of ​​the temple was not small, it seemed very crowded with so many people.

Wen Ruyan dragged Wei Xiaoxiao through the crowd for a long time before reaching the gate of the temple. After a closer look, he saw a monk in beige robes sitting in the yard outside the main hall. In the huge oil pan, I was chanting scriptures with my eyes closed.The flame under the oil pan was burning fiercely, and the two young monks were constantly adding firewood to the bottom of the oil pan. The oil kept boiling in the pan, bursts of hot steam came out, and the monk's body was burnt. The looming shadow that shrouded him gave him a sense of inscrutability.

Wei Xiaoxiao had never seen this kind of scene before. When she saw it, she immediately screamed in shock like the people around her. Seeing this, Wen Ruyan quickly covered her mouth and said, "Be more reserved. There are many people."

Anyway, Wei Xiaoxiao who came over nodded to him, and Wen Ruyan let go of her, but Wei Xiaoxiao's shocked expression still appeared on his face, and she said excitedly to Wen Ruyan: "Brother Ziqian, those guests are really not lying, this is really the birth of a true Buddha!"

Wen Ruyan glanced at the fake monk, curled his lips, although he knew it was just a cover-up, but he didn't open his mouth to expose him, anyway, the monk was not like the liar in his previous life.He did not cheat money, nor did he cheat people into buying fake medicines.Although he always suspected that the other party had other purposes, the other party hadn't said a word so far, and he didn't bother to care about such things.

But is he really just doing it for fame?Wen Ruyan felt a little suspicious.

At this moment, someone shouted from behind: "Mrs. Gao is here, everyone quickly make way for Mrs. Gao to go in first."

Um?Madam Gao?Gao Yunxing's wife?Could it be that this fake monk came for Mrs. Gao?
For some unknown reason, this idea suddenly appeared in Wen Ruyan's mind.

"Give it up, let it go."

Wen Ruyan was thinking about something when he suddenly heard someone talking behind him. He turned his head to look, and was startled. Walked over slowly.
