The next day, Jie Se began to get anxious. It was already the fourth day, but the temple was still very quiet. There wasn't even a shadow of a person. Where could he find this devotee?
He was so anxious that he couldn't even eat, and he didn't have the mood to practice the Arhat Staff Technique. He sat alone on the stone bench in the courtyard and worried.
" Ta, ta, ta…" A series of footsteps could be heard as a child ran into the temple. He looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old. Looking at her attire, she should be a child from the village at the foot of the mountain. She did not know why she had run up the mountain.
After entering, she looked around curiously. When she saw Jie Se, she stopped and became slightly afraid.
Finally, the visitors came, haha! Jie Se was overjoyed. It didn't matter if he was an adult or a child, as long as he was a person. He had never been so excited to see a person like today. It was as if he had seen his lover who had been separated for a long time.
He stood up and walked over quickly. There was an excited smile on his face, revealing a set of white and flawless teeth. No matter how you looked at it, it was terrifying.
"Little benefactor, you are…"
" Ghost!!!" The child looked as if he had seen a ghost. He screamed in fear and turned to run. He was so fast that he disappeared outside the monastery in the blink of an eye.
"Damn, do I look like a ghost? A ghost? You're the ghost. Your entire family is a ghost.”
It was so depressing. It wasn't easy for someone to come, but he was scared away for no reason.
The child ran down the mountain and rushed into the village.
"Xiao Mao, what's wrong? You're so flustered. Were you chased by wolves?”Old Wang, who was carrying a hoe and working in the fields, said with a teasing smile.
" G-The mountain is haunted…Huff huff huff!" The child's face was pale. He stopped panting and pointed at the mountain.
"You're talking nonsense in broad daylight. I'll let your father beat you to death later!”Old Wang said unhappily. Hearing such words so early in the morning, no one would feel comfortable hearing it. People in the countryside were superstitious, and it was a bad day.
" No, no, it's, it's true..." Xiao Mao became more and more anxious as he spoke, but his expression did not seem to be lying.
"Don't be afraid. Tell me slowly. What happened?”Old Wang put down his hoe and asked seriously.
" Y-Yizhen Temple is haunted..." Xiao Mao replied after a while, but his eyes were filled with fear.
"Yizhen Temple? You went to Yizhen Temple?" Old Wang looked surprised. That place had been abandoned for a long time, and very few people would go there. However, it was a little ridiculous to think that there was a ghost.
"I'm playful. I went up when I was herding the cows in the morning, but, but there was a monk in the temple!!”Yimao was about to cry.
"A monk? What does that have to do with ghosts?" Hearing this, Old Wang was stunned again. Perhaps it was a passing monk who saw the temple and went up to pray.
"That temple has been rebuilt. " There must be a ghost. That monk must be a ghost…" With that, Xiao Mao ran in the direction of his house.
"Repaired? No, I haven't heard of it? No, I have to talk to the village chief about this.”Picking up the hoe on the ground, Old Wang turned around and jogged back to the village.
When Old Wang told Li Changgui about this matter, he immediately received attention. After checking with Xiao Mao, the village officials immediately discussed it and walked up the mountain. What exactly was going on? He would naturally know once he went up and took a look.
The curious Old Wang also followed. Since his mood had been ruined today and he couldn't go to the fields to work, he might as well follow.
The road up the mountain was not easy to walk, but it was not a problem for the mountain people.
When everyone climbed up Mount Fulong and saw the brand new monastery in front of them, they were all dumbfounded.
"What, what's going on? Didn't Xiao Mao say that it was abandoned a few days ago?!!”
"Village, Village Chief, it can't really be haunted, right?!!”
"Hiss! I'm afraid there's something strange…"
A few village officials began to talk at once. Each and every one of them began to feel afraid. Even the wind blowing around them became chilly.
"What's there to be afraid of? It's broad daylight, so why should we be afraid of him?!!!”Old Wang was older and more courageous. When he said this, everyone became more courageous.
"That's right. There are so many of us and our yang qi is strong. We're not afraid of any ghosts. Let's go in and take a look.”After Village Chief Li Changgui finished speaking, he took the lead and walked forward. Old Wang immediately followed, and the others also mustered their courage to follow.
When they arrived in front of the temple, the decorations here once again made their eyes light up. The date red walls, glazed tiles, bright yellow walls, bluestone floors, and black iron gates. The entire temple was clean and bright, exuding a solemn and peaceful aura. It was completely different from ghosts and monsters.
After entering the courtyard wall, they raised their heads and looked at the golden words on the big board. Their bodies could not help but tremble. Then, they instantly felt calm and warm. This feeling was very comfortable.
If this place was haunted, everyone in the world would probably be hoping for ghosts.
"Amitabha…"
A loud and clear voice sounded, instantly scaring everyone to react. Looking at the small monk walking over, they were all shocked.
"I wonder if you are going to offer incense or fulfill your wish?!!”Jie Se wore a solemn face with a faint smile. In line with the atmosphere here, he really had the demeanor of a master. However, he was very happy in his heart. If they didn't come, then so be it. There were already a few of them. It seemed that the temple wouldn't have to worry about pilgrims anymore. But how could he convince them to offer incense? This was a problem.
"Master, I'm the village chief of Subduing Dragon Village. Did you renovate this temple?”Li Changgui nodded slightly and asked curiously. It must have been man-made. Otherwise, it would have grown on its own. However, this was too strange. It was impossible to do it in just a few days. Moreover, no one went up the mountain to repair it, nor did they see a car dragging materials over.
"This poor monk is Jie Se, the abbot of Yizhen Temple. I did renovate this place.”Jie Se answered kindly.
" Uh…" Everyone was stunned once again. However, the little monk in front of them didn't look like a ghost. There was only one possibility. This person was extraordinary.
