Chapter 168 Mysterious Secret
Chapter 168 Mysterious Secret
On Xiaojin Mountain in Yangzhou, between dense forests and tall bamboos, a woman in flowing white clothes, holding a trekking pole, climbed up step by step. Behind her, two women, one in green and one in blue, followed closely behind her, but they were out of breath.
"Little Miss, please crawl slowly. Wait for us."
Yun Yido looked back at the two people who were struggling to move forward and was completely speechless. She shouldn't have brought these two burdens with her, otherwise, she would have used her lightness skills to climb up long ago.
Xiaojin Mountain, with its lush forests and bamboos, is indeed a good place to cultivate one's character. On the top of Xiaojin Mountain there is an ancient temple, not called Jinshan Temple, but Wanfo Temple. Although the temple is small, it is a well-known thousand-year-old temple.
The way up the mountain is very narrow, with steep stone steps, and it takes a lot of effort to climb up. However, even so, there are still many devout men and women who bow three times and kowtow nine times, kneeling down with every step to pray to the Buddha.
Because, in this Wanfo Temple, there is an eminent monk, whose Buddhist name is Wuming. He is now 110 years old. He has profound Buddhist knowledge and saves all living beings. He has almost become the image of a living Buddha in the hearts of the people.
The fourth sister Lin Yiran likes the last disciple of this eminent monk, whose Buddhist name is Liaochen. The fourth sister has been pursuing him for so many years, but he has never wavered in his heart to worship Buddha, and even hurt the fourth sister many times to make her give up.
But Yun Yiduo believed that if her fourth sister was in trouble, the first person she would look for would be Lechen. The wind in the mountains was very cool, but Yun Yiduo broke out in a sweat. When she saw the gate of the Wanfo Temple, she felt a sense of peace in her heart.
The temple was full of incense. Although it was winter, many people still came to the temple, and the first stick of incense had already burned out. Yun Yiduo came to the temple and sighed deeply.
"How can this temple be small? It's obviously very big!"
As she spoke, she was about to walk towards the inner courtyard, but was stopped by a young monk.
"Please stay, lady donor. If you are here to burn incense, you can go to the main hall. The inner hall is where the masters rest, and it is not convenient for outsiders to enter."
"Huh? Oh, sorry!"
Yun Yidu smiled awkwardly, but did not go to burn incense. However, the two girls, Chishao and Qingdai, were already burning incense and kneeling in a very proper manner, being extremely pious.
She saw many pilgrims being led to a corner gate on one side, which should be a side hall for guests to rest. However, Yun Yidu was not going to the side hall. She wanted to go directly to find Liaochen's residence.
"Chishao, Qingdai, you wait here and act according to circumstances. I'll go to the inner courtyard to take a look."
"Ah? This, is not good!"
"It's okay. Just be careful."
After Yun Yido whispered a few words to the two little girls, she took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and followed the tourists heading to the side hall into the corner door. In just a moment, she jumped onto the wall and slipped into the inner courtyard.
Just after she slipped in, a young monk hurried to the front hall, found the monk who blocked Yun Yiduo's way and asked:
"Brother, is there anyone special among the pilgrims coming and going today?"
"There is one special one. She came not too late, but she didn't worship. Instead, she wandered around. She looked a little weird."
"What does that person look like?"
"She is a very beautiful female donor."
"That must be her. Master predicted that a distinguished guest would arrive today, and he told me with a smile that it was a special girl. I think she must be very beautiful."
"But now I don't see her anymore."
The two men looked everywhere but didn't see the person they were looking for, so the young monk had to go back and report.
Yun Yiduo jumped over the wall and stared at the main hall of the Wanfo Temple. This place was really sacred and inviolable. No wonder the fourth sister couldn't shake the monk after chasing him for so many years.
She saw a little monk walking in hurriedly, as if he had something important to do, and Yun Yiduo's heart moved and she couldn't help but follow him. The courtyard of this temple was very deep, and she followed the little monk to a quiet courtyard.
When the little monk entered the door, she looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she followed him in.
"Master, Qingming didn't find the person you were looking for."
"Forget it, go down! That person has come uninvited."
"what?"
The young monk looked around but didn't see anyone. When Yun Yidu heard this, she was stunned. Could this old monk be talking about her?
"Young donor, since you are here, why not show yourself?"
Well, it seems that the master has really discovered her. Alas, no matter what time it is, those unfathomable people will always be unfathomable.
"Yun Yiduo from Youlan Valley pays homage to Master Wuming."
Yun Yido walked out from the darkness and bowed towards the room, only to see the door open silently and an old monk with white hair and beard appeared before him.
He sat cross-legged on the cushion, with his five hearts facing the sky and his eyes closed.
"Little donor, there is no need to be so polite. Qingming, please step back!"
"Master...know I'm coming?"
Yun Yidu felt a little frightened when she saw the master with his eyes closed but looking as if he knew everything. If this person knew the purpose of his visit, would it affect her efforts to find the person?
"People from another world, reborn as humans, fight against the will of heaven, and change their fate."
"What's the meaning?"
Yun Yido was distracted by Wuming's words. She felt a little dizzy and dazed for a moment. She couldn't even see the old monk's face clearly.
"This is the secret of heaven, young donor, please be careful."
With a creaking sound, the door of Master Wuming's room was closed by an invisible force. She woke up with a start, but found that her whole body was covered with cold sweat. She stared blankly at the closed door, and a chill rushed to her heart.
As expected of a high-ranking monk, his words were hard to guess, even mysterious. She wanted to ask what was going on, but the person inside seemed to have entered a state of meditation and was unwilling to say a word.
Finally, she sighed and flew out of Master Wuming's courtyard. She guessed that Lechen was Wuming's apprentice and their courtyards should not be far away, so she started from Master Wuming's courtyard and looked around. Sure enough, she found Lechen's courtyard in a short time.
At this time, Liaochen was cleaning the courtyard, and a little monk beside him was muttering nervously:
"Uncle Liaochen, this is my job. You should go to do your morning prayers and let me sweep the floor."
"No need, go do something else, the uncle has already finished the morning class. You don't have to worry about the cleaning work in the courtyard from now on."
Yun Yido smiled when she heard this, looked at Chen's closed door, then looked at the little monk who had been sent out, and floated to Chen's side.
She took a step forward, formed her hand into a claw, and grabbed Lechen. Lechen frowned, dodged the attack by turning his body to the side, and then raised his broom to fight back at Yun Yido.
"Master Liaochen, you use this Arhat broom very well! Your footwork is also quite powerful."
Yun Yiduo's sweet voice rang out, and she and Lechen had already started fighting. This man had caused the fourth sister to pursue him for more than ten years, and she had wasted her best years. She had to teach him a lesson. Even if she couldn't beat him, she had to poison him.
