"Since it's the arrangement of Uncle Shi, let's take a look like this first!" The host said to them: "You go down, let the disciples in the temple treat Tang Shizhu as an ordinary disciple, and explain his identity and origin, and also explain to the disciples that they are silent, which is also what the master and uncle told at the beginning." ”

"Yes." They answered, saluted, and then withdrew.

In the early morning of the next day, the distant bell of the ancient temple echoed in the mountains and forests, among the ten thousand Buddha gates, because there are almost no pilgrims who come to worship the Buddha and add sesame oil to the incense, therefore, the disciples in the temple are doing morning classes in the temple, reciting scriptures, or practicing martial arts.

The host was alone and came to the courtyard where Tang Ning lived.

"Abbot, morning!" Qi Mufeng, dressed in dazzling red, walked out, said hello to him, and came to the main house and knocked on the door: "Master, the abbot is here." ”

The door opened, Tang Ning, who was wearing green clothes and looking sleepy, walked out while rubbing his eyes and yawning, and when he saw the host, he called: "Host, it's so early!" ”

She couldn't sleep last night until just after dawn, and she was still confused! If it weren't for the fact that the host said that he was going to come over to talk to her today, she really didn't want to get up.

"Lord Tang." After the host bowed, he looked at the praying wind on the side and said, "I don't know if the benefactor can avoid it first?" "What he wants to talk about is the secret of Buddhism, and naturally he hopes that as few people know as possible.

Qi Mufeng smiled and responded: "No problem, you talk, I'll go to breakfast first, and I'll go to the temple in a while." As he spoke, he said to Tang Ning: "Master, I'll bring you steamed buns when I come back." ”

Tang Ning glanced at him and did not speak. Seriously, the food in this temple is really a bit too light, and she wonders, could it be that she didn't eat meat last night?

"Presiding, please be seated." Downing invited him to sit down, poured two glasses of water, and waited for him to speak.

"Don Shi Zhu ......"

"Host, just call me Xiao Tang." She said with a smile.

Hearing this, the host smiled and said, "Okay, Xiao Tang, today Lao Na came to tell you about the general situation in the temple, didn't you ask Lao Na yesterday about the theft of the Buddhist scriptures and holy scriptures in the temple?" Lao Na will tell you now. ”

"In fact, as early as decades ago, the Buddhist scriptures in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Gate were stolen, not only stolen, but also many Buddhist scriptures were burned at that time, and the spiritual veins in the cultivation holy land of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Gate were also destroyed, resulting in these years, the strength of the disciples in the temple has been difficult to break through, and it is precisely because of this that there are disciples one after another, and the Ten Thousand Buddhas have gradually declined, and the reputation is not as good as before."

Tang Ning nodded: "I heard the old monk mention a few words about this. ”

"In the past, the incense of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Gate was prosperous, there were many believers, and the pilgrims from all over the world came from far away, however, over the years, because there was no real Buddha in the temple to sit on, the pilgrims began to gradually decrease, and in recent years, only in addition to some old believers who will occasionally come to add some incense and oil money, there are almost no people who will come to the Ten Thousand Buddhas."

Speaking of this, he sighed: "The Buddhist scriptures that were stolen some time ago are not actually the original, just a Buddhist scripture hand-copied by the ancestor of Taishang, and it has been offered in the temple, but I didn't expect that we couldn't even keep the Buddhist scriptures hand-copied by the ancestor of Taishang." ”
