126 Children's Words

We entered the city smoothly at two or three o'clock in the afternoon without causing much noise along the way.

When they arrived at the street where Baofo Temple was located in the carriage, Xiang Jiannan saw a group of monks waiting in front from a distance. When the carriage approached, they quickly rushed over. Leading them were Master Lekong and Monk Dafa.

In an instant they were surrounded and couldn't find a place to stay for a long time.

It was this group of people who came out to greet them. After not seeing them for many days, I felt that Dafa's head was shining brighter. When the monks received the signal, they collectively stepped back, and Xiang Jiannan and the master were able to step on the ground.

The monks at Baofo Temple were so enthusiastic that they gave me the feeling that they were here to cause trouble.

The three layers inside and three layers outside are tightly pressed together. If you want to move, you have to wait for Master Kong’s signal.

The smiling old monk is a dagger hidden in his soft clothes. All the bald men on the street now listen to him.

Did the master inform them? "Fellow Daoist, how are you these days?"

He first stared at the clay statue of his master on the carriage in front for a few seconds. After Gao Yu'an got off the carriage, Master Liaokong clasped his hands and spoke.

They had been waiting here for an hour, fearing that Gao Yuan would play some tricks when he arrived.

Ordinary disciples cannot handle it, so they have to do it themselves. This time, the Baofo Temple has made a grand display, and is not afraid of what Gao Yuan and the others say.

Monks in the Great Zhou Dynasty have always been like this. They can't keep a low profile even if they want to, simply because they have too many followers.

"So many people, nothing to do?"

Although he said it coldly, Gao Yuan was actually quite happy when he saw Master Kong bringing out so many bald heads.

Since you all have come forward on your own initiative, my master and I will take a rest first. We will need help to escort our master to the temple later. Even if the monks in Baofo Temple are not very capable, they are still better than those laborers in the town who can only rely on brute force.

These monks were not called by themselves, so who knows where they got the information from.

"Fellow Daoist, you have come from afar, and the people of Baofo Temple will come out to welcome you. If you think that's not enough, there are more than a thousand people waiting in the temple. That's fine."

There's something else behind your words.

Seeing that Master Kong was obviously different from the past, Xiang Jiannan smelled a hint of threat as he stood beside his master and listened quietly to their conversation.

Human wave tactics?

Master Liaokong, please don't let your imagination run wild.

We are here today to repair the clay statue of our master. Judging from the number of monks standing in front of us, the scene is already very grand.

The other thousand or so people don't need to come out, I believe there is no room for them on this street.

"Just in time, give the old Taoist a hand."

When he heard that there were more than a thousand people waiting for him in the temple, Gao Yuan laughed very proudly.

Monk, it's very vulgar for you to say that. What's the big deal? Just do the old Taoist a favor first.

Push the carriage to the gate of the Taoist temple.

After turning the corner, the path leading there didn't look very smooth. Perhaps it was because there were too many of you here, and we haven't seen a single Taoist priest so far.

The gate of the temple was also ajar.

“Dafa.”

Seeing Gao Yuan signaling them to give it a push, he glanced at Dafa and Master Liaokong immediately made room.

All we saw was that the Dafa monk first stretched out his hand to touch the clay statue of his master, hesitated for a moment, and finally put his hand on the railing next to him. As he bent down and prepared to exert force, more monks immediately joined in, some of them holding Buddhist beads in their hands, looking straight ahead, just waiting for the driver to call them.

"drive!"

I didn't expect the old Taoist priest to have such a high profile. He felt unstable when being pushed by the monks. The driver who was pulling the clay statue of his master quickly waved his whip.

What should I do with so many monks? I heard that the monks and Taoists in the Zhou Dynasty did not get along well. Now it seems that they are all rumors.

Apart from a small shock when first entering the street, the relationship between the Taoist priest and the monk seemed to be pretty good.

Those who lend a hand always try their best.

It's extraordinary, and you can feel it yourself.

"Where's your senior brother?"

Walking slowly behind the carriage, surrounded by the crowd, Gao Yuan took steady steps:

"I didn't see your brother last time I came. Has the monk been doing his job again recently?"

"After becoming the abbot, no one can control you anymore?"

"My senior brother has already made arrangements in the temple and told me to invite fellow Taoists over."

Listening to Gao Yuan teasing his senior brother in front of so many monks, Zen Master Liaokong seemed indifferent. His senior brother was someone who didn't care about these things. Liaokong had known that this Taoist had a bad mouth for a long time.

It's just that life is a little long.

"Wait for Taoist priest, I will finish my work here first."

As they were talking, the carriage had already stopped in front of the Yuqing Temple. The monks dispersed and came to the front of the carriage. Gao Yuan looked at the Taoist temple where there was no movement and walked up the stairs a few steps.

He carefully looked through the half-open door and when he turned around, his expression became a little grim: "Something bad is happening!"

"What's wrong?"

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

At this time, he was only a few steps away from his master. Seeing his sudden change of expression, Xiang Jiannan immediately reacted as a disciple should.

The monks were all very calm. As an apprentice, he had to cooperate well. However, just as he stepped onto the steps and hadn't yet stood firmly, he heard his master's regretful tone: "I'm still a step too late. The Taoist priests of Yuqing Temple must have just finished their meal. I saw a young Taoist priest sitting in the yard picking his teeth!"

Master, please stop making trouble. It’s already this time!

Xiang Jiannan felt ashamed after hearing Gao Yu'an's words. He wondered what was going on in the old Taoist's mind. He was about to stretch out his neck but retracted it again.

You can pick your teeth with such a loud noise outside. Master, are you sure you have told them this?

Even if you are deaf, you should be able to hear it.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and was about to push the door, but was stopped by Gao Yuan. He turned around and asked Master Lekong to take the people back first. After the monks left, he heard him say: Family disgrace should not be made public.

This is an internal matter of our Taoist sect and must not be made public in front of the monks.

If it wasn’t for the sudden kick after he finished speaking, the naive Xiang Jiannan would have almost believed it.

"Where is he, little Taoist priest? Ask your master to come out!"

"The one next door, I'm Gao Yu'an!"

He almost kicked the wooden door of Yuqing Temple apart, scaring the young Taoist priest who was picking his teeth. Gao Yuan rushed into the yard and said in a rude tone, "Old Taoist priest, I have been secretly observing you for a long time, young Taoist priest. The lunch should be very good, right?"

"Where's your master?"

"Master is giving a lecture to his fellow brothers in the backyard and ordered me to keep an eye on them."

"If there is a sneaky old Taoist priest who breaks in, let him wait here first."

"I'm talking about you."

After Gao Yu'an's scolding, he quickly recovered his composure, stood up calmly with a stick in his mouth, and spoke loudly.

He was young but very calm. He looked up at the two people who suddenly broke in, and spoke every word clearly.

"It's me, the old Taoist priest. No! Sneaky, did your master really say that?"

Seeing that the young Taoist priest's eyes never left him when he spoke, Gao Yuan raised his finger and pointed at Xiang Jiannan:

"Little kid, make sure you convey the message accurately. Your senior brother has a bad temper."

"It's absolutely true. Just because I spoke up for you, I was punished by my master. I've seen the Taoist priest behind you before."

I have no impression of that.

Looking at the little Taoist priest with a face full of grievance, Xiang Jiannan really couldn't remember. He hadn't seen this little Taoist priest when he came to Yuqing Temple last time, and thought he had been taken in later.

"You are a teachable kid. When you see your master later, I will definitely fight for you!"

"How did you speak for the old Taoist priest?"

At this time, as the little Taoist's expression and attitude gradually softened, Xiang Jiannan saw a trace of love in his master's eyes. After he finished speaking, he wanted to touch the little Taoist's head. Just as he touched the hair, the poor little Taoist spoke again: "Master told us that you are a thief. I was very angry when I heard it. I think it is more appropriate to say "sly eyes", and sneaky is not appropriate! Then I was punished..."
