Linxiang Temple is located on Qingfeng Mountain in the eastern suburbs.
The carriage moved slowly along the winding mountain road. Si Jinxing lifted the window curtain and saw overlapping temples and Zen rooms located in the mountains not far away.
When we reached the main gate of Linxiang Temple, the carriage could no longer go forward, as we were halfway up the mountain.
Going further up, there are stone steps inside. The devout believers who come to burn incense need to walk up step by step to show their sincerity.
When Si Jinxing got off the carriage, he saw a giant incense burner outside the temple. Incense was curling up in the air, and pilgrims were coming and going in an endless stream. The melodious sound of the bell echoed throughout the mountains.
The bluestone steps leading up the mountain extend from here all the way to Linxiang Temple on the top of the mountain, and the Si family members began their "one-day pious worship of Buddha".
Si Jinxing did not believe in Buddhism in her previous life. In this life, after experiencing such a mysterious thing as the soul traveling through time, she also developed a certain awe for Buddhism.
Walking along the way, the bluestone steps were lined with pine and locust trees. Looking back, it was a sea of golden color. There were also some fruit trees, full of red fruits!
Mid-August is a good time for harvest.
The old lady was very old and stopped several times in the middle. Zhou was fat and out of breath after walking a few steps, so she also walked and stopped frequently.
In the end, it was Si Jinxing, who was at the end of the team, and Si Jinyi, the youngest, who reached the top of the mountain first.
We have arrived at Linxiang Temple.
This location is really great. Surrounded by clouds and mist, you can overlook the mountains. The air is quiet and clear. Listening to the bells beside my ears, my mind suddenly becomes quiet.
At this time, a young monk led the two of them into the temple.
Families like theirs make reservations in advance to come and pray, so that the dormitories and vegetarian meals are reserved for the pilgrims.
Xiaotao and Luzhu followed the young monk to the dormitory to put their luggage.
Si Jinxing and Si Jinyi had to go and burn incense first.
This main hall has three doors, and the middle door is an empty door. Only those who have seen through the world and become monks can enter.
Si Jinxing pulled Si Jinyi in through the side door, burned incense reverently, and then left the hall.
"Second sister, are you hungry?" Si Jinyi tugged at her second sister's sleeve and asked in a low voice.
Si Jinxing was not hungry, she had eaten a lot in the car.
She took out a pack of biscuits from the snack drawer on the third floor, handed it to Si Jinyi, and said, "Eat quickly, fill your stomach first."
After the old lady and Zhou arrived and lit the first incense stick, a young monk came to lead the women of the Si family to the backyard dining hall to have their first vegetarian meal.
The plaque on the door of this dining hall is inscribed with "Wuguan Hall". It is said that monks perform the Five Contemplations before eating.
Basically, it means to cherish food, be grateful for it, not be overly greedy for food, and reflect on yourself...
The monks also emphasize: If the five contemplations are clear, gold can be easily melted; if the three minds are not resolved, water is difficult to dissolve.
Although Si Jinxing had some respect for Buddhism, he thought this statement was pure nonsense... (This is only Si Jinxing's personal opinion.)
After breakfast, everyone returned to the main hall. A yellow-robed monk was waiting by the side, guiding everyone to silently recite their wishes, raise the incense in their hands, kowtow, put the incense in the incense burner and burn it, and finally bow to express gratitude to the Bodhisattva.
Next, the old lady took Zhou and Wen to Master Zhihai's Zen temple to listen to sutras and lectures.
The young ladies moved freely in the temple.
The day was unexpectedly peaceful, without any accidents and without meeting any special people.
Even Si Jinyue, whom she thought she would meet, did not show up.
Si Jinxing even started to doubt that she was being too suspicious.
The temperature in the mountains was low, and Si Jinxing felt a little cold when she slept at night. When she was half asleep, it was already dawn, so she packed her luggage and walked down the mountain.
Si Jinxing got into the carriage and sneezed.
Zi Su poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over, then asked carefully, "Miss, did you catch a cold?"
Si Jinxing touched his forehead and found that he didn't have a fever.
She took two cold capsules and closed her eyes for a nap. Unexpectedly, as the medicine took effect, she fell into a drowsy sleep.
She didn't know how long it was before she woke up and heard a rustling sound in her ears.
Before she could react, the carriage suddenly cracked, and she didn't know where it broke!
The bottom of the carriage suddenly collapsed, and she, Luzhu and Zisu all rolled to the ground.
Si Jinxing lay on the ground and looked around, but did not see the carriages of other members of the Si family.
Bai Xi, the driver, came over quickly, helped Si Jinxing up, and said:
"Princess, it was my fault for neglecting to notice. The carriage was tampered with."
As he spoke, he handed over a piece of broken wood and said, "Princess, look, there are bugs on it."
Si Jinxing's head still felt a little swollen after taking the medicine, but she could clearly see a bunch of white bugs gnawing at the broken surface of the wood.
Lu Zhu looked out and said in astonishment, "What is this? Did they bite the carriage apart?"
"Yes, the spokes of the wheel are inhabited by these insects.
The carriage had traveled long distances over the past two days, and the road had been bumpy, so it had suddenly broken apart. Fortunately, it didn't break on the mountain road we had just passed." Bai Xi couldn't help but feel a pang of fear.
The winding mountain road has a mountain on one side and a cliff on the other. If someone falls down...
As he thought about this, his heart skipped a beat, and his eyes suddenly became more alert. He looked around and reminded:
"Princess, we shouldn't stay here for long."
However, just as Bai Xi finished speaking, more than a dozen masked men in black rushed out from the woods beside the official road and ran towards them.
Zi Su's face turned pale, but he did not forget to protect his young lady behind him.
Luzhu quickly picked up the broken wood that Bai Xi threw at his feet and stood in front of Si Jinxing!
Si Jinxing held the tranquilizer gun from Xinglin Yaxu in her hand, but there were more than a dozen people on the other side, so she couldn't help feeling a little panicked.
Who hired the killer again?
Bai Xi had already raised his sword to meet the enemy. His sword skills were as sharp as the wind, but the opponent was not weak either, and they had the advantage of numbers.
At this moment, a person suddenly appeared from behind Si Jinxing and joined the battle in front.
Si Jinxing knew him, Mo Qiu.
After the last incident on Longxing Street, Qi Moli sent two people, one to guard the yard and the other to hide in the dark and follow Si Jinxing.
Bai Xi and Mo Qiu were both secret guards of Prince Mo Ying's palace. Their kung fu was quite good and they killed half of the men in black in a short time.
But the remaining seven or eight men in black became more and more courageous as the battle went on, with bloodthirsty glints in their eyes!
No matter how good Bai Xi and Mo Qiu were at martial arts, they both suffered several wounds, and their clothes were stained with red blood!
And just at this moment!
Five or six men in black rushed out from the forest and headed straight towards Si Jinxing!
Lure the tiger away from the mountain!
Bai Xi's pupils shrank sharply!
Mo Qiu naturally saw it all.
The two of them were anxious, but they were surrounded by seven or eight people and couldn't break out for a while!
