Baishixian Road

Chapter 94 Abbot Jingxu
On an official road, there are many passers-by.

There are dart guards in front of them, all of them are strong and strong, carrying knives and swords.

The Great Xia Dynasty didn't have strict control over weapons, and the world is also dangerous. If you go out in the wilderness, if you don't have a sword, how can you protect yourself when encountering danger?

Because of this, the Great Xia Dynasty practiced martial arts very well.

Not to mention bodyguards, even people who play tricks everywhere have their own kung fu.

At this moment, Xu Mo was chatting happily with several bodyguards.

He even ran into the other party's carriage.

This group of bodyguards was entrusted by someone to escort a family to the Fachan Temple to offer incense and pilgrimage to the Buddha.

Knowing that he was going to Fachan Temple, so Xu Mo's mouth was flying up and down, and after a few words, he got on the train and walked together.

He was chatting with the bodyguards in front, while Xiangying and Lin Jiuyuan sat in the carriage at the back, chatting happily with the family that hired bodyguards.

Along the way, Xiangying and Lin Jiuyuan were also influenced by Xu Mo and became good at talking. The two small social cows had begun to thrive, and Xu Mo was very happy about it.

There is quite a kind of comfort like an old father of "my family has a girl who has just grown up".

In the carriage, the female family members of this family were talking with Xiangying and Lin Jiuyuan.

What I talked about before was about what I saw along the way, but now I'm talking about family background.

"I just said that the younger sister of the Lin family is unusual, she is actually the daughter of Hero Lin by the Xiangshui Lake." A woman was surprised in her tone, and she stared at Lin Jiuyuan with kindness.

The bigger the family, the more they know the importance of relationships.

As for the relationship, it is about making a lot of friends, and also, it has to be the kind of family that can be helpful.

Although only the Lin family is well-known in the Jianghu, some officials and family members may not look up to them, but for people from merchant families, being able to make friends with people from the Lin family is also very beneficial.

For example, if you meet a bandit who is robbing the road, you can say with a smile, 'I am an old friend with the Lin family by the Xiushui Lake, please help me'.

Got it!
As long as they are bandits with a normal mind, they will basically give this face and do this conveniently.

After all, Lin Muchen's reputation in the Jianghu is comparable to that of Dongling Zhijie, unless he has an enmity with the Lin family, otherwise, this face should be given to some extent.

Because of this, how enthusiastic this family will be.

"Sister of the Lin family, when I go to Fachan Temple, do I go to worship the Buddha or fulfill my vow?" a female family member asked.

Lin Jiuyuan nonsense said: "Both!"

"This Fachan Temple is still very spiritual, and the scenery is good. My family and the abbot of Fachan Temple, Master Jingxu, also know each other. If the sister of the Lin family needs anything, just tell us directly. The abbot will definitely save face for us."

The female family members want to sell something to Lin Jiuyuan, so that they can make a good relationship.

"Thank you, sister!" Lin Jiuyuan laughed.

Outside, Xu Mo walked with several bodyguards.

"Fachan Temple is a place of geomantic omen. In the final analysis, those monks are businessmen just like us," said a bodyguard.

"What do you mean by that?" Xu Mo asked knowingly.

Mainly to make the other party have enough addiction.

"Does it need to be said? Think about it, our dart runners rely on their martial arts, helping people to secure goods and protect people, so as to earn a few taels of silver; while those monks rely on the protection of Buddhism to earn incense money. It’s just that they make a lot of money and it’s easy, while we darts earn hard money.”

"Brother sees things very thoroughly." Xu Mo complimented.

"Haha, little brother, when you reach my age, you will be able to see through it. By the way, those two girls who are with you are not bad." The elder brother of the dart showed an expression that a man could understand.

Xu Mo smiled and said, "One is my apprentice and the other is a friend. Brother, don't think about it."

"Haha, I understand, I understand!"

Seeing the other party's wretched expression, Xu Mo really wanted to say that you know a hammer.

However, apart from being a little wretched, these old bodyguards are pretty good. Xu Mo also learned a lot from them.

Such as the territory of Daxia, such as the customs, and such as the current social structure.

"Fachan Temple is only a day's journey away from Kyoto. My little brother is going to Kyoto. After coming down from Fachan Temple, you can go straight. We won't go."

They also have to be responsible for sending that family back.

Half a day later, they arrived at Fachan Temple.

"What a beautiful mountain." Xu Mo looked into the distance and had to say that the place chosen for this big temple is really good.

Feng Shui said, you have to believe it.

A good place is a good place, and anyone can see that.

Staying in some places is refreshing; while in some places, it is uncomfortable and disturbing.

It was already afternoon, and it would take another half an hour to arrive at the Zen temple. If you want to visit the Buddha and offer incense, you will have to spend one night and do it tomorrow, so you will naturally have to stay overnight in the temple.

Generally, like this kind of big temple, the villages under the mountain can be lived in. There are mountain people relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, and relying on the temple to eat the temple, and they can also earn some money through this.

And there are places to live in the temple, of course, the price is much higher.

The family of merchants traveling together has a lot of money, so they can afford the money.

But for Xu Mo, if he can't live, there are other things to say.

He came not to worship the Buddha, but to discuss the Tao with the Buddha.

This matter is dangerous.

And it's extremely dangerous.

But Xu Mo still said, high risk, high reward.Besides, even the real Immortal Buddha couldn't know what happened in the last cycle, so naturally he didn't know Xu Mo.

So as long as this thing is done properly, it is still very interesting.

When I arrived at the gate of Fachan Temple, what I saw was extraordinary. Every brick, every tile, every stone and every tree, there is a kind of comfort that makes people feel refreshed and happy. It seems that here, you can calm your mind and forget about trivial matters. .

"There are ways!"

Xu Mo thought to himself.

Xiangying next to him came over and poked him.

"Let me tell you, the monks in Fachan Temple are not easy to mess with. If I go in soon, I will definitely be found out. Have you thought about what to do?"

There is no way, Xiangying is a big monster, no matter how restrained he is, he can still hide a thing or two in other places, but here, there is no way to hide invisible.

As long as you go in, you will definitely be found.

It is possible, and has now been discovered.

Because in this great temple, there are people who are equal to or even stronger than her.

It is absolutely impossible not to be discovered.

Xu Mo really thought about this.

"Since you can't be silent, why not make a big splash!"

This is Xu Mo's plan.

And it's not just Xiangying, Xu Mo feels that if he goes in with his current cultivation, he will be discovered in all likelihood.

If that's the case, why don't you hide.

"Three, let's go in together. I am acquainted with Master Jingxu of Fachan Temple. If you have any doubts, I can recommend you, and the master will explain your doubts."

At this time, the male owner of the merchant's family came and said.

He also saw that the three of Xu Mo were unusual, and that Lin Jiuyuan's status alone was worth making friends with.

"Alright."

Xu Mo nodded, thinking that if he wanted to go in anyway, he would follow his plan, be open and aboveboard, and see how Fachan Temple would react.

So several people went in together.

As soon as he entered the gate of the temple, the merchant said to the little novice who was guarding the gate: "Please tell the little master that Zhang Baochuan in Lingnan is asking to see Master Abbot."

The little novice nodded, and now he is going to report.

Just turning around, he was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly saluted over there.

"I have seen the abbot."

The monks around, whether they were sweeping the floor or passing by, all hurriedly saluted.

Over there, came a chubby monk.

The other party has kind eyebrows and kind eyes. Because he is fat, even with his eyes open, there are two slits in his eyes.

Xu Mo took a look and recognized it.

One of my audience in Fangshi back then, the masked fat monk.

At that time, I really didn't expect that the other party was actually the abbot of this Fachan Temple.

Master Jingxu.

Seeing the other party approaching, Xu Mo couldn't help but think of the terrifying tricks shown by this Master Jingxu in the last cycle.

It was unheard of, and terribly terrifying.

At that time, countless dead bones rushed out of the master's robe, layered on top of each other, constantly changing, and became a "bone pagoda" composed of dead bones.

I still remember that the other party said with a smile: "The Dharma Body of the Thousand Spirit Bone Buddha is only short of the Buddha's blood and flesh from becoming a Buddha. The kindness of the Thousand-Handed Buddha was accepted by the poor monk."

Insidious, cunning, and extremely murderous.

In order to become a Buddha, he actually designed to besiege and kill the immortal Buddha, an absolutely ruthless character.

Master Abbot's sudden appearance here naturally caused a commotion.

After all, on weekdays, it is not an easy task to meet this master with profound Dharma.

The first person to react was the merchant.

The other party was a little flattered.

"Master Abbot, please come out to greet me personally..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the fat monk passed by him and walked directly towards Xu Mo and Xiangying.

Before he got there, he clasped his hands together and said: "You two are coming to Fachan Temple, Jingxu is far away to welcome you!"

As soon as he said it, everyone was shocked.

Especially the family of Shangjia was stunned and couldn't believe it.

You must know that they spend hundreds of taels of incense money to Fachan Temple every year, and just like this, they only see the master abbot once in a while.

The other party was only superficially polite.

But now, what he said and did was obviously welcoming the big shots.

What made their scalps tingle the most was that the big man that the abbot spoke of was actually the three people who walked with them all the way.

The merchant's heart skipped a beat, and after thinking about it, his face turned from surprise to joy.

"It's a good thing. I took them all the way, and it can be regarded as friendship, and to be able to receive such courtesy from the abbot master must be due to the respected status and extraordinary status. This time, I made it, I made it."

Business people, when looking at everything, first consider the pros and cons.

Click on the family first, then Xu Mo and Xiangying look at each other.

"It's coming so fast!"

This is indeed somewhat unexpected, and it only shows that this Fachan Temple is even more unfathomable than imagined.

But everyone spoke up, and Xu Mo couldn't help but respond.

"Grandmaster is very polite. The two of us came here uninvited, and we are afraid of disturbing Master Qingxiu."

When it comes to the scene, Xu Mo is not afraid, as much as he wants, he can tell you as much as he wants.

It's okay to talk all night.

And there is something in these words, how could Monk Jingxu not hear it.

"Hehe, you two are joking, please come to the temple to talk!"

"Master Lao will lead the way."

At that moment Xu Mo and Xiang Ying followed the fat monk and walked in. Of course, before leaving, Xu Mo secretly gestured to Lin Jiuyuan, which meant to tell him to let her wait outside.

don't go in.

Lin Jiuyuan was smart, and Xu Mo had already confessed to her on the way, so he didn't follow, and stood outside the temple and waited.

All the way through the hall and courtyard, the three of them didn't speak, but the monks they met along the way stopped and saluted. It can be seen that Fachan Temple has strict discipline and many rules.

After walking for a while, I didn't meet any pilgrims or other monks.

This place is secluded and still has a dignified appearance, but there seems to be something else hidden in it.
