Chapter Eighty-Four: Shenxing Temple
After tasting the pickles, Liu Yingcai's eyes lit up, not to mention whether this cabbage and chicken shredded sauce is delicious or not, at least this salty, fresh, sour and spicy taste is enough to make the tongue addicted, and say goodbye to the dishes that have been too bland to do not work in the past few days.

"Auntie's craftsmanship, that's really nothing to say." After Liu Yingcai finished speaking, she hurriedly beckoned her aunt to eat together.
At the end of the meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. The two talked casually and chatted about many other things.
This eldest lady's surname is Hong, and she has seven lines in the family, although she has a name, but no one remembers or shouts for so many years, and they all call her Hong Qi Niang.
Hong Qiniang is from the Dongcho area of Gangwon-do, and the place is also easy to find, which is at the foot of Seoraksan Mountain. Liu Yingcai guessed correctly, Hong Qiniang is indeed after two classes, but she is not a prominent family. The elite members of the family all died tragically in the chaotic war, and soon the family wealth was embezzled, and the clan was scattered. Even Hong Qiniang herself had to sell her son to Xiangcheng Temple in troubled times, so that her son could survive in the house of the rich and noble.
In troubled times, man's requirements have been so humble that he has given up all dignity and limited the minimum requirements to life.
"But...... Recently, the world has been a little better. A few days ago, I met a group of Ming merchants at the foot of Seoraksan Mountain, and they got the most important news because they led the way and sold some condiments that were only cabbage sauce at that time. He said that the price of food in Seoul would skyrocket, and all things would be expensive, and I made this sauce particularly well, so he bought a few jars for his own use, and persuaded me to go to Seoul to work hard. Saying that, Hong Qiniang showed a look of remembrance.
"The world is so chaotic, you go out alone...... also brought the goods...... "Liu Yingcai couldn't help but admire Hong Qiniang a little.
After all, this is not the afterlife. In the 90s of the last century, China was still a rampant car bandit and road blocker in various provinces, and it was common for people to kill people and steal goods. Not to mention the fact that there is almost no rule of law in North Korea in this era?
If a woman dares to go out and sell goods, it really takes the best courage and luck.
"Yes...... But it also gives me a time of good luck. As she spoke, Hong Qiniang was full of gratitude.
"Oh?" Yoo Young-chae was curious.
"His Majesty the Great Emperor is here, and the security of the official road is surprisingly good, even those soldiers guarding the door dare not collect money. Isn't it good luck that I caught up with such a good season? Hong Qiniang laughed.
Of course, she didn't know that this was because since the incident of the Mani Mountain bandits, the entire Korean court had almost gone crazy. Not to mention the desperate pursuit, he also cleaned up the security of Gyeonggi Province with a ruthless hand, for fear that Zhu Cihong, who likes Weifu private visits, will go out and make some moths.
Yoo Young-chae couldn't help laughing, but she also felt the same way. She didn't comment on the matter, but said, "It's not easy to get this great luck. Since we have a fate, why don't we go back to Gangwon Province together, and it just so happens that I am also going to Seoraksan Mountain. ”
Just now, Liu Yingcai's sharp eyes saw what was shining silver in the pickle jar.
Obviously, this is the money she earned in Seoul during this adventure. Although Hong Qiniang hid it tightly, she did not escape Liu Yingcai's meticulous observation.
Of course, the most important thing is that the farther away from Seoul, the worse the security of the Joseon court will be.
If it is true that as soon as the North Korean court speaks, it can see the effect and smile immediately, then in fact, there will be no thousands of bandits on Mani Mountain.
Naturally, Gangwon-do, a mountainous place, will not be without those bandits. Whether it's a big thief or a small thief, it's not something that a weak woman can deal with.
Seeing that Liu Yingcai was willing to help, Hong Qiniang was greatly surprised, and couldn't help but give Liu Yingcai the last complete small jar of pickles in her arms as a thank you gift.
Seeing this, Liu Yingcai was also helpless, so she had to find a carriage and horse dealership, bought a carriage directly, and the group went to Gangwon Province with them.
Naturally, he met a thief and a thief along the way, but Liu Yingcai has superb martial arts, and his experience and qualifications in the rivers and lakes are even deeper.
When she arrived at the foot of Seorak Mountain, Hong Qiniang thanked Liu Yingcai and returned to her hometown.
Liu Yingcai entered Seorak Mountain step by step, and the mountaineering journey that others regarded as drudgery was not difficult for Liu Yingcai, who was strong in martial arts, but in two quarters of an hour, Liu Yingcai found the main gate of Shenxing Temple.
The scenery here is beautiful, and looking around is refreshing.
Liu Yingcai calmed her mind, walked into the vestibule, saw a nine-story pagoda, and listened to the monks on the side explain allusions to the pilgrims.
Shenxing Temple used to be called Xiangcheng Temple, but in fact, it was just called Shenxing Temple for a few years. That is, the year before last, this place was once again hit by a fire, and the famous temple was reduced to nothing.
For this reason, the three monks of Yunrui, Lianyu and Huiyuan said that this is the revelation of the gods in the dream, and rebuilt the temple in the Xiaolin Nunnery after the original Xiangcheng Temple, and named it Shenxing Temple. The Buddha statue enshrined in the temple is made by Master Yixiang when he was in the Zen Temple.
Liu Yingcai walked all the way in, and saw a huge bronze seated Buddha statue on the way, which is located on a wide granite platform and is more than 10 meters high. Turn right past the Buddha statue and there is a newly built suspension bridge over the stream. After crossing the bridge, there is a Tenomon Gate on the side of the long stone wall, which leads to the temple. On both sides of the entrance, there are huge statues of the Four Heavenly Kings, which are the Heavenly King of the Holding Kingdom with a sword, the Tawen Heavenly King holding the pipa, the Wide-eyed Heavenly King with Tota, and the Growing Heavenly King holding the dragon.
After seeing the Buddha statue all the way, Liu Yingcai suddenly fixed her figure in the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
At this time, another person walked slowly and said to the pilgrims on the other side: "Amitabha, the donor is merciful, and the poor monks have thanked the donor for the kindness of those living beings. ”
"Of course we can trust the reputation of Shenxing Temple. In this way, thank you Master Yunhui. After saying that, the pilgrims bowed and said goodbye.
Liu Yingcai's body trembled slightly, a heartfelt tremor that made it impossible for her to restrain her emotions.
In the dark, there seemed to be some mysterious power guiding her and telling her......
The temperament in front of him is just like this, and the monk who looks like a virtuous monk is his biological father!
It's just that......
Recognize a monk as a father in a temple?
Thinking of this, Liu Yingcai suddenly felt sour in her heart and wanted to turn around and leave.
It was not surprising that a woman appeared in the temple, and Abbot Yunhui had already discovered this. It's just that he didn't rush to speak.
Just as Liu Yingcai sensed such a mysterious feeling, Abbot Yunhui received a letter from the mountain lord and the prince a few days earlier than Liu Yingcai.
He folded towards Liu Yingcai: "Donor, you are not finished." It should be on the old man, this fate...... It's hard to say. Yuan Neng, don't let miscellaneous people in. ”
A monk responded and blocked the way.
Suddenly, only Liu Yingcai and Master Yun Hui, who no longer left, were left in the field.
Master Yun Hui was the first to speak, and he said, "It's Yingcai." That's right, I'm that ruthless father......"
