Chapter 57 Visiting Toho Temple

Monk Mingde has been to my house and knows that my address is normal, but early in the morning I saw a monk smiling at you, and the scene was a bit bad. At least the old men and mothers who got up early in the community gave me strange looks.

"Senior brother, I met this here so early, it wasn't a coincidence."

"It's not a coincidence that I'm here to find Brother Dao. I was afraid of being abrupt in the morning, so I didn't go upstairs and wait for Brother Dao here."

Monk Mingde replied, he also knew that it would be uncomfortable to knock on the door so early, so Monk Mingde chose to wait downstairs.

"What did senior brother ask me for?"

"I have something to go into the city, and suddenly I remembered Brother Dao, so I came to visit me and invited Brother Dao to visit Dongbao Temple. I don't know if Brother Dao has time today."

"Now?"

I asked subconsciously, saying that it was a terrible thing to believe him. I blocked me downstairs in my house early in the morning just to invite me to visit?

“Yes, there’s a car right now”

“I haven’t had breakfast yet”

"The vegetarian food in Dongbao Temple is a famous vegetarian restaurant in Yangcheng. I think Dao brother can try one or two."

"Since that's the case, it's better to obey your orders than respect. Senior brother, please lead the way."

I nodded, and Monk Mingde said this, then I agree. Anyway, I don’t believe that they dare to seek money and kill themselves, so they are afraid of nothing.

I followed Monk Mingde out of the community, and a black business car drove over. A monk came down to open the door, looking very respectful.

"Senior brother, it seems that your Dongbao Temple has good financial conditions."

I smiled and said, "This business car is a big brand, and I can't get it if it's hundreds of thousands." Tobo Temple is really rich."

"Brother Dao said before that you are a monk from the Three Pure Land Temple in Dulong Mountain. It seems that Brother Dao has no certificate of vassals."

"How to see it"

"Because you don't know that religious places are all self-profit and loss except for some basic state subsidies. This is called market economy reform. Dongbao Temple is at the forefront of reform. Many years ago, it planned tourist attractions with some commercial companies. We have money, but it is not the incense money that can deceive believers."

Monk Mingde explained that many temples are very rich and have many temple properties. Many people misunderstand that it is a money that deceives believers. In fact, it is not necessarily true, because many temples are originally in famous rivers and mountains, with a very superior geographical location. In addition, some surrounding industries are more than enough to support themselves.

For example, at Tobo Temple, they have many normal business activities, including the vegetarian food in Tobo Temple, which are very famous. Many people from Yangcheng will go to taste it specifically. And Tobo Temple is located in a tourist area, so there are more ways to make money, openly and legally.

"So that's it. Senior brother said it well. Our Sanqing Temple is a small countryside view. It was jointly funded by villagers and my master. As for why I didn't enter the system, according to my master's statement back then, one is because I was afraid of trouble, and the other is because of my practice. I don't care about the location or identity. As long as I have the intention to practice and the intention to practice, there is a temple everywhere."

I nodded and explained, of course, the second half was purely added by myself. Master was afraid of trouble back then, because once he entered the system, he would be difficult to do many things and had to hide it. Without a status of one kind or another, it would be much more convenient to act.

"Mingde admires the realm of Master"

Mingde nodded. Although the master basically comes from the famous view of Baoshu, there are masters from the folk since ancient times. There are still many powerful figures in the countryside.

The place where I live is also a junction of urban and rural areas, but it is not in the same direction as Dongbao Temple. It took us about half an hour to arrive at Dongbao Temple.

Indeed, Tobo Temple is a good place to visit. I saw the plank road around the mountain halfway up the mountain, and the lakes and lotus flowers at the foot of the mountain. There is also a large sea of ​​flowers. The foot of the mountain has become quiet, and various plants are emerging one after another. It is like a forest park, which is definitely a good place to rest on weekends.

On the mountain is Dongbao Temple. It has a magnificent building and a superior geographical location. You can overlook half of the Yangcheng City here. The scenery is very beautiful. As for whether there are other projects, I don’t know, I haven’t seen it yet.

Monk Mingde took me to eat breakfast from Dongbao Temple. The breakfast of monks in Dongbao Temple is buffet-style, with a wide variety, including steamed buns, vegetarian buns, flower rolls, white porridge, millet porridge, sweet potato porridge, various pickles, as well as soy milk, fried noodles, fried rice noodles, etc., monks and lay Buddhists and volunteers, etc., a total of forty or fifty people were eating.

The canteen is very quiet, no one speaks when eating, and the quality is high. After eating, they will wash their own rice bowl and put it aside. Someone will take it to disinfect it at that time.

"Brother Dao, how does it taste?"

"Very good, real ingredients, much more delicious in the market outside."

I nodded. They are professional and taste good, especially soy milk, which is real and tastes much better than the ones in the vegetable market outside.

"That's good, that's good"

"Senior brother, I've had enough food and drink. It would be a bad thing if I left. Let's go and talk about the serious matters."

I smiled. I didn't believe that Monk Mingde came to block me early in the morning just to treat me to a breakfast. Since I came, I was ready.

Monk Mingde nodded and said in his heart that it would be easy to deal with smart people. Then Monk Mingde took me to his senior brother Monk Mingyu, who is the abbot of Dongbao Temple.

"Brother Dao, I'm not sure about it. I'm invited to come this time because something happened to our Tobo Temple and the magic knife was stolen."

"The magic knife was stolen?"

Monk Mingde told the truth, which shocked me. It was less than a week before the magic sword was handed over to Monk Mingde. How was it stolen?

"Yeah, it was stolen"

"The magic sword has the ability to bewitch people's hearts. Will the monks or lay Buddhists of the temple fail to stand the test and bewitched by the magic sword?"

"No, they are prepared. Brother Dao can check the surveillance first."

Monk Mingde shook his head and then played a surveillance video of the theft of Dongbao Temple the night before yesterday. It showed a woman who was agile and headed straight to the Great Hall. She also prepared a mountain bike at the foot of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, Monk Mingde and his friends also picked up a mask. The woman's identity and appearance were all fake.

"This is a professional thief, who came directly at the Magic Sword. Senior brother, do you know about the Magic Sword?"

After watching the surveillance, I also knew that the thief was professional and came for the magic knife, but I didn’t know who wanted to make this magic knife.

"It's hard to say, except for you and me, the workers on the construction site were all the news disseminators. They may not know about the Magic Knife, but as long as the news spreads, they can't hide it from those who are interested."

"No, what you said is wrong. Those workers are indeed likely to spread news and be noticed by others. But no matter how much they check, they can only find me. I can't find out that I gave you the magic knife. The night before yesterday was the fifth day when I gave you the magic knife. According to what you said, the thief lurked in Dongbao Temple for three days. In other words, two days after I gave you the magic knife, she came. How could this be possible?"

I shook my head. What Monk Mingde said was wrong, and there were big logical loopholes.

"You are right to say that. What brother Dao means is that the problem lies in our Tobo Temple. Are we colluding with evil Taoism?"

"Junior brother, our monks and lay Buddhists in Dongbao Temple are old acquaintances for many years, and no strangers have visited them recently. It shouldn't be our problem."

Monk Mingyu hurriedly said, "Now that it's pointing to the inside of Tobo Temple, this is not a trivial matter."

"Master Mingyu is right. It may not be that there is something wrong with you. It may also be that the pilgrims believers. They discovered the existence of the magic sword when they went to the Main Hall to burn incense."

"That's impossible. We used Buddhist verses and Buddhist beads to seal the demon sword. Without the leakage of demonic energy, believers would not know."

"Then I don't know."

I waved my hand. This was impossible, that was impossible. Then I don’t know what happened. I am not a detective. I don’t have the ability to peel off strange cases.

"Today I am looking for Brother Tao, it is actually for the sake of the Demon Sword. The Demon Sword has drunk your blood. Brother Tao is a person who has achieved success in his practice. People are good at blood. The blood of those who practice are more spiritual. The Demon Sword must be obsessed with. If the Demon Sword is not controlled by others, it is very likely that he will come to find Brother Tao again. So Brother Tao, once the Demon Sword appears, please be sure to take it down or notify me of Dongbao Temple."

"This is naturally. The magic sword is extremely harmful. No one will want to use it except the evil path. If there are clues, it will definitely notify you."

I nodded. Ordinary people have magic swords, but they have no benefits. Those who will take the initiative to steal magic swords must be evil. If they really encounter them, they will definitely notify Toho Temple.

Monk Mingde nodded, then we exchanged some opinions, left each other's contact information, and then Monk Mingde asked someone to send me home.

When I got home, I thought about it carefully, but still couldn't figure out where the problem occurred. How did the other party know that the Magic Sword was in Tobo Temple, and it was full of fog.

If I can’t figure it out, I won’t think about it anymore, otherwise I’ll be stubborn and won’t be able to get out. Anyway, be careful in the future and just set up a stall to bring the guys with me. It’s nothing wrong to be careful.

"Xuanji, tomorrow is Saturday, let's go out for fun"

When I was setting up the stall that night, Xuanxuan said to me that it was Saturday tomorrow, and she felt that she hadn't gone out for a long time.

"Where do you want to go"

"It's fine everywhere, it's fine around Yangcheng. Let's take a break. You haven't had a rest for a long time."

"Xuanji, I think Xuanxuan is right. How long has it been since you had a rest? I am the same. Xuanxuan, where are you planning to go? Call more classmates and let's go together, there are so many people."

Xu Lin also came to join in the fun. When Xu Lin heard that he was going to play, he was immediately excited. Female student, he was about to go out to play with female student. How could he not be excited?

"But I don't really want to go out"

I shook my head. When I was in Dulong Mountain, I basically had no idea of ​​weekends. The same was true after going down the mountain. I would only take a break if I felt tired. But I was young and strong, and I didn’t feel tired, so I never had a rest.

"Li Xuanji, you are not allowed to let go"

Xu Lin walked over and said to me seriously, then hugged my neck, pulled me aside, and said, "Brother, please, you are not interested in female students, I am interested, brother, my lifelong happiness depends on you, you can't refuse."

"Then you and Xuanxuan go"

"Please, they came for you. How could they agree if I go alone? If you agree, the cost of going out is mine, how about it?"

Xu Lin gritted his teeth and was about to bleed. He also fought for the female student.
