When Zhou Fan saw his brother like this, his eyes froze and he stopped.

Li Jiujiu also stopped, looking around vigilantly.

The little novice who led the way in front turned his head, and looked at Zhou Fan and the two of them calmly with those small eyes: "Two donors, why did you stop?"

Zhou Fan glanced at Xiao Shami, and he looked at his dog again: "Dude, did you find anything?"

However, the dog's hair quickly drooped down around the man's neck, and the dog's eyes showed a look of doubt.

Did it feel wrong?

However, Zhou Fan still had a trace of vigilance in his heart, and he smiled silently on his face: "It's nothing, my dog is a little too nervous to come to a strange place." ”

The little novice glanced at the old man, he nodded slightly, and led the way again.

Zhou Fan and Li Jiujiu glanced at each other, the two did not speak, but they were obviously vigilant, the elder brother generally does not make mistakes, there may be problems with this Buddhist temple.

Xiao Shami took Zhou Fan and the two of them quickly stepped into the corridor.

The promenade, supported by black log columns and topped by tiled roofs, appears to have been built for a long time, connecting the inner and outer parts of the Snake Buddha Temple.

The Snake Buddha Temple is faintly bigger than they imagined.

Somehow, the little novice walked a little slower than before.

Zhou Fan and the others who followed him also had to slow down.

The slightest sound reached their ears.

"What sound?" Zhou Fan asked softly.

Before he could answer, countless snakes crawled out of the grass on either side of the hallway.

Snakes of different colors such as blue, black, white, red, and green are the size of the bowl or the mouth of the cup, and they spit out the forked snake hyacinth and make a slight sound.

There were thousands of them, and the grass was hidden by snakes.

The dude let out another low whine.

Zhou Fan and Li Jiujiu are both martial artists, and their knowledge is not low, their faces changed slightly, and after confirming that these are just ordinary snakes, they quickly calmed down and looked at the little novice who had turned around.

"Don't panic, don't panic, these snakes won't hurt people, don't worry. Xiao Shami hurriedly reassured.

Zhou Fan and Li Jiujiu looked to both sides again and found that although the snakes crawled out, they did not mean to climb into the corridor.

Most of them were lying cross-legged on the ground, looking at the three people in the corridor, the snake hyacinth stretching and stretching.

"Little Master, what's the matter with these snakes?" Zhou Fan asked with some surprise.

"Amitabha, our temple is called the Snake Buddha Temple, and these snakes are all believers in our temple. The little novice replied with a smile.

Zhou Fan and Li Jiujiu looked at each other, it was the first time they had heard that snakes were followers of Buddhism.

"Master often said that all beings are equal, and as long as you are sincere to the Buddha, why should you care if you are a human being or other beings. Xiao Shami's face was slightly serious.

"It's us who got in the picture. Li Jiujiu quickly laughed, "I have heard before that some Buddhist temples have cattle, sheep and horses that convert to Buddhism, but this is the first time I have seen a snake, don't blame the little master." ”

Xiao Shami bowed his head and said he didn't dare, and then invited the two to continue walking.

The two of them followed the novice through the corridor, and the novice explained, "These snakes don't hurt people on their own initiative, but after all, no one is that intelligent, and if they go too fast, it may cause misunderstandings." ”

Only then did the two of them understand why the little novice slowed down, because he was afraid of snakes attacking them.

They didn't know anything about snakes, and they didn't know why they would attack them if they went too fast, but they listened to what the little novice had said.

The air was filled with the fishy smell brought by the snakes, and Zhou Fan pretended to be curious: "Little Master, I don't know what these snakes usually eat?"

Snakes are carnivers, and there are so many snakes in the Snake Buddha Temple......

"Amitabha, they go out into the wild to forage for food on their own. "We are strict in our observance of the rules and precepts, but they have a need for survival, and we can't force them not to kill, and besides, they are just believers, not disciples of the Buddha like us." ”

While the three of them were talking, they had already walked out of the corridor, and Xiao Shami led the two of them to speed up their pace and walk towards the main hall of the Snake Buddha Temple.

On the stone path on both sides of the main hall, two walls are erected, and the walls are carved with lifelike murals, with hundreds of figures such as Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Heavenly Kings, Divine Generals, and Demons, as well as exquisite house buildings and countless auspicious fruit trees.

The outermost layer of the mural is painted with gorgeous colors, and the colorful light fills the Buddha soil.

Such a mural naturally attracted the attention of Zhou Fan and Li Jiujiu.

Li Jiujiu sighed, "Even if it is the Buddha Xiang Temple, there may not be such beautiful Buddhist murals." ”

There was a strange look in his eyes as he spoke.

Zhou Fan also raised his eyebrows slightly, the most outstanding of these two murals are the various characters in these Buddhist legends, and there is a feeling of being watched by lifelike characters when walking in them.

"The donor has a good reputation, and the master of these murals once said that it was painted by one of our ancestors who is good at painting. Little Shami said with a smile.

The mural corridors on both sides were only about three feet, and Zhou Fan and the others didn't have time to ask more, so they were brought into the main hall by Xiao Shami.

In the main hall, a monk in a robe is sitting cross-legged knocking on a wooden fish, chanting in a low voice.

Zhou Fan and Li Jiujiu couldn't hear what the monk was reading, the monk's back was a little hunched, and from the back, he felt very old.

"Master, the benefactor who stayed overnight has arrived. Xiao Shami said respectfully.

"Amitabha, the two donors are fine, Lao Gu is the presiding officer of the Snake Buddha Temple, and it is inconvenient to face the two donors in person, please forgive me. The monk's voice was old and deep, and he put down the gavel in his hand and did not turn around.

Zhou Fan and Li Jiujiu glanced at each other, it was really strange that this monk refused to turn around.

Li Jiu thought about it for a while, and then introduced the two of them before he smiled and said, "We take the liberty of disturbing the abbot and the monk of our temple." ”

"Lord Li and Lord Zhou don't have to be so polite, it is the blessing of the Snake Buddha Temple to be able to help the donors...... Abbot Fayue didn't have anything too unexpected to say except for refusing to turn around.

Zhou Fan didn't say anything, but let Li Jiuyue communicate with the abbot of Fayue.

After talking for a while, Li Jiujiu took out the prepared sesame oil money, and the abbot of the Snake Buddha Temple didn't refuse, so he asked Xiao Shami to put it away.

The matter is almost at this point, Zhou Fan and Li Jiujiu said goodbye.

The abbot of the Snake Buddha Temple explained a few words to the little novice, and asked the little novice to take Zhou Fan and the two back.

Before Zhou Fan walked out of the main hall, he couldn't help but glance back at this Fa Yue, but Fa Yue was still sitting motionless, and it was difficult to see his face clearly.

Zhou Fan didn't look at it anymore, and left the main hall with Li Jiujiu with Xiao Shami.

After they were gone, the monk took the gavel again and tapped it, and he recited it softly, if someone who was familiar with the Buddhist scriptures was here and heard the sound of him chanting, he would know.

This is the death mantra.
