C407 Feng Qings old friend (1/2)
The backyard of the Yellow Forest Temple?
Mu Ru Yue was stunned as she didn't expect it to be the Yellow Forest Temple. Moreover … Did he come early in the morning just to wait for her to pay respects to Buddha at the Huang Lin Temple? When Mu Ru Yue thought of this possibility, her entire person didn't look well.
However, before she could think too much, she saw Doll already knocking on the door to the backyard. After a while, a young monk opened the door from within. When he saw that it was Feng Qing, he acted as if he understood and greeted the three of them, ”Amitabha, the host has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow me.”
”Thank you.” As Feng Qing spoke, he stepped into the quiet and secluded Buddhist land. He then looked at Murong Yue as if she was waiting for her to enter. Seeing this, Murong Yue naturally also followed closely behind.
Finally, Tao Er entered and closed the door.
Mu Ru Yue had been to the Yellow Forest Temple more than once, but every time she met Feng Qing. It was as though this was the first time she had come together with Feng Qing to meet someone else. It was unknown what kind of person the host was.
To be able to manage the temple to such an extent, he must be a high monk by now, right?
Mu Ru Yue didn't have any faith, but … Yet, she would believe everything. After the reconstruction, the backyard of the Yellow Forest Temple was much more exquisite and quiet than before. On the way to the Zen Courtyard, Mu Ru Yue saw many people who seemed to be pilgrims.
The young monk brought the three of them through several alleys before finally arriving at the Zen Courtyard where he was hosting. This place was even more simple and unadorned than any other part of the Zen Courtyard. In the courtyard, there was an ancient tree that she could not identify, occupying this place.
It made the whole garden seem even more peaceful.
The young monk did not enter but said at the door, ”The host is already waiting for you inside. ”This little monk shall take his leave.” After he finished speaking, he bowed towards Mu Ru Yue and the others.
”Tao Er, wait outside.” Feng Qing looked at Tao Er, who was at the side, and instructed. He then went up and knocked on the door.
The gate to the Buddhist Mansion was knocked on, and a faint voice came from inside: ”Who is it?”
”Old friends.” Feng Qing said.
The person inside went silent for a moment, then said: ”Old friends, you came looking for me. I should have opened the door immediately, but …” But there's one thing I need to ask an old friend to explain. ”
”But …” Feng Qing said.
The person inside continued, ”Many days ago, our temple encountered a great disaster. I wonder, in the eyes of an old friend, is this a blessing or a curse?”
Feng Qing did not find this question strange at all. He even said with familiarity, ”Being with you is a blessing, being with the people is a disaster.”
After hearing Feng Qing's explanation, the person inside sighed, ”Ai …” You really can't see through it. ”
”Even if you ask me a hundred times, it will still only be this answer.” Feng Qing's expression was neither sad nor happy. Mu Ru Yue, who was listening to him talk to someone else at the side, felt a little curious. Was this senior monk that strange?
Without waiting for Mu Ru Yue to think further, she heard the door open with a creak. What entered his vision was a young man wearing a monastic robe. He frowned slightly as he looked at Feng Qing and Mu Ru Yue who was beside his. He said, ”Let's talk inside.”
Feng Qing did not hesitate and directly walked into the Zen Courtyard.
The young monk gestured for Mu Ru Yue to enter as well. Mu Ru Yue was slightly surprised as she didn't expect this master to be so young. He quickly walked in. There were no decorations here, only a coffee table. The chairs were not placed on the side of the tea table, but rather, there were prayer mats placed on it. It seemed like they were used for cultivation.
Feng Qing sat down in a familiar manner before looking at Mu Ru Yue. Mu Ru Yue now knew that Feng Qing wanted her to sit down. This was the first time she had seen such a situation. After all, she had never discussed it with anyone from the Yellow Forest Temple. She obediently sat beside Feng Qing. Mu Ru Yue started to have doubts in her heart. Why did this person bring her here?
Just as Mu Ru Yue was making wild guesses, the grandmaster took out a chessboard and placed it on the tea table. She sat across from Feng Qing. The master's appearance was delicate and pretty, and there was a bit of spirit in his eyes.
His attitude was indifferent as he looked at Feng Qing. After that, he looked at her and said, ”Your Highness must be aware of my rules for you to be here today.”
