Chapter 88 Tibetan Monk
In the end, the bright sun broke through the thick fog, and the coolness in the mountains changed to a little warmer. In this Fragrant Mountain, there are dead branches and leaves all over the place.

It has been more than half an hour since the two said goodbye to the sweeping monk. When they stepped on the last step, what came into view was a huge mountain gate with carved stone railings and engraved with three characters: Xiangguo Temple!Really magnificent.

The two of them didn't intend to go directly to the back mountain, but went straight to the front mountain, intending to see how many Bodhisattvas and Shuras there are in this ancient temple.

At the mountain gate, two novice monks were distributing incense to the pilgrims passing by. At this time, the sun had bloomed and the number of people had increased. The two of them were dressed in brocade robes, and they seemed to stand out from the crowd. After all, the relationship between the two Dressing, appearance, temperament, it is difficult to enter the secular world, you just need to stand from a distance and look at them, and you can immediately distinguish the two from the crowd.

The incense distributed by the novice monks is free of charge. Most of the common people are very willing to accept this incense to light a little incense and form a good relationship.

Xiangguo Temple is not short of money. After all, many dignitaries and dignitaries here often come to offer incense, and come to listen to the master abbot's Zen lectures. There are few resources on the Fragrant Hills, but good stones are rare, so the abbot hired craftsmen to sell these stones to those who need them, and naturally the money increased.

The two of them avoided taking incense, and went straight into the temple. Many pilgrims were kneeling and kowtowing in front of the ten-foot-high Buddha statue. There were dozens of yellow futons, but none of them were empty. Ye Ke glanced at them and walked through them. After going through the main hall to the back hall, the two of them saw many temples along the way, and also saw many golden bodies of Bodhisattvas, the dignified Manjusri, the kind Samantabhadra, the cheerful Maitreya, and the compassionate Avalokiteshvara. Different Eighteen Arhats.

"My lord, this Xiangguo Temple seems to be too rich." Ye Ke's voice was suspicious, staring at the golden bodies of these Bodhisattvas and Arhats.

Zhu You also nodded and said: "I have never been to your Xiangguo Temple before. This is the first time. I have heard that Xiangguo Temple is very rich. I also know that it is because of the quarry. But today, even if I see you again A large quarry may not be enough to support such a luxurious temple, unless the number of people donating sesame oil is too large."

It seems that Xiangguo Temple has a lot of secrets.

The two wandered around for a while, stepped over a threshold, and after that, there was a quiet path, with twists and turns, blocked by tall trees, leading to nowhere.

Ye Ke glanced at a stone tablet next to him, on which was clearly written: Back Mountain.

Without doubting him, the two moved forward, but were blocked by a young monk.

"Two pilgrims, you can't go here, please stay." The little novice monk was no taller than Zhu You's chest, and looked about twelve or thirteen years old, with a childish look on his face, and he hadn't grown up yet.

Ye Ke saw his red lips and white teeth, and asked, "Who said you can't go?"

Her business is a bit cold, but it sounds very nice. The little novice was originally ordered to guard this road to prevent anyone from entering the back mountain by mistake. Just now when they saw that the two were about to enter the back mountain, they came to block the road in a moment of anxiety. Time to see the faces of the two?Hearing Ye Ke's question at this moment, he raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him.

After a glance, he saw a beautiful woman with bright eyes, bright teeth, quick eyes, and an extraordinary temperament in front of him, accompanied by an upright, noble man with sword eyebrows and stars, and was immediately stunned, especially the questioning woman in front of him, It really made this handsome young monk who had been in the temple blush seven points.

Immediately bowed his head, and silently recited the Guanyin Heart Sutra, only saying that he was guilty, not daring to look at Ye Ke again.

"Uncle Jianjian Temple told me not to go to the back mountain." He hesitated.

Ye Ke thought it was funny, and said, "Why?"

"The little monk doesn't know."

Unexpectedly, Ye Ke scolded angrily: "What a bold little monk, how dare you lie!"

"Little monk, monks don't tell lies! Little monk, I have never lied."

"Did your Uncle Jiansi tell you not to go to the back mountain, but he didn't tell anyone not to go to the back mountain?" Ye Ke began to talk nonsense.

The little monk was taken aback for a moment, and Ye Ke realized that he was right.

"It seems to be."

"Hmph! In other words, I told you young monks not to go to the back mountain. Who told you to block my way?" Ye Ke began to talk.

The little monk was dumbfounded, he was hesitating, but he heard Ye Ke say: "You little monk, you blushed just now when you saw me, you know, I am a woman, didn't your master tell you about the Buddha's verse about not seeing anything evil?" Then, Ye Ke pointed to the sculpture in the Buddhist hall behind him and said, "If you dare to violate the precept of the color field behind the Buddha, believe it or not, I will tell you Uncle Jiansi?"

The little monk was startled, he didn't dare to look at Ye Ke again, he lowered his head and said, "You two benefactors, let's go, let's go, I will take my leave." Then he ran away in a hurry.

Zhu You listened to Ye Ke's nonsense and finished the little monk, and gave a thumbs up.

All the way through the forest and across the stream, the two stopped in front of a huge stone.

This place is under a precipitous cliff. Looking up, there is a piece missing on the cliff. Its shape is exactly the same size as this huge boulder. A small Buddhist hall was built. At this moment, the door of the Buddhist hall is closed, and it looks a bit dilapidated. Even the window paper is torn. When the north wind blows, there will be paper scraps flying around.

There is no plaque in the Buddhist hall, and I don't know the name, but there is such a dilapidated Buddhist hall in the back mountain of such a wealthy Xiangguo Temple, which is obviously very abnormal.

The two walked forward slowly, and as soon as they reached the open space in front of the Buddhist hall, the door of the Buddhist hall suddenly opened wide, and a man walked out from inside, clothed in straw sandals, wearing an old scarlet cassock, with sunken eyes and dark skin , a Tibetan monk wearing a cockscomb hat, was looking suspiciously at a man and a woman in the courtyard.

He uttered an extremely jerky Central Plains Mandarin, and it took Ye Ke a lot of effort to realize that he was asking himself who the two of them were and why they came here.

Zhu You immediately stepped forward to reveal his identity and said: "This official is the criminal officer of the Jingji Tixing Yamen. Zhu You, this is the Tuiguan, Ye Ke."

As soon as the Tibetan monk heard that they were people from the yamen, he immediately recited a Buddha's name and invited the two of them into the room to talk.

After entering the room, the three of them sat down on a carpet, and then the Tibetan monk saluted and said, "My lords, the young monk's name is Tashi Dorje, and he is an ascetic monk. I don't know why you two are looking for the young monk? "

Ye Ke didn't talk nonsense, and immediately asked: "Master Tashi, I want to ask you, have you ever told others about the funeral method on the snow mountain?"
