The princess changed her widow's life by fortune-telling

Chapter 130 The living walk the way of the living, and the dead walk the way of the dead

After dinner, the cook packed up, bid farewell to Bai Jinye with the concierge Old Chen, and left the city overnight.

Before they left, Pei Qingge also asked about the location of the temple. She took out a coir raincoat from the warehouse, put it on, and was about to go out.

"You have to go to the temple tomorrow." Bai Jinye frowned and looked at her, "It's raining so heavily and the road on the mountain is slippery, so the temple will run away on its own tonight?"

"What if he runs away?" Pei Qingge said as he went to the stable to lead the horse.

Bai Jinye stood at the entrance of the stables. He had heard about the temple. It was on a mountain in the east of Yuecheng City. Fifteen years ago, people from Yuecheng went there to burn incense and worship Buddha, and the road was easy to walk.

Afterwards, Yuecheng was in a state of chaos for many years. Although it was stable in recent years, these people in Yuecheng often sent food to the military camp, but almost no one went to the temple anymore.

After so many years, the mountain road has long since disappeared.

A few years ago, the cook wanted to go, but Lao Chen couldn't go with her because of her inconvenient legs and feet. It was because Lao Chen found a few familiar soldiers who were on vacation to accompany the cook.

Relying on her childhood memories, the cook also searched for a long time on the mountain, lost her way several times, and finally found the temple.

Pei Qingge has never been there before, and it is raining again at night, so going up the mountain at this time is not asking for trouble?
"I didn't ask you to come with me." Pei Qingge led the horse, looked at Bai Jinye who was blocking the door of the stable, "Hurry up and get out of the way."

Bai Jinye didn't move.

Pei Qingge was a little anxious, "Bai Jinye, you..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Bai Jinye raised her hand to pull the rein, she frowned, anyway, she reckoned that Bai Jinye should not be her opponent now, but she was not afraid to fight him.

Just as he was about to grab the reins, he saw Bai Jinye flipped onto the horse, then stretched out his hand towards her, "Come on."

"You..." Pei Qingge looked at his hands, and subconsciously put his hands behind his back, "If you go, go ride the horse by yourself."

"The mountain road is not easy to walk. If you ride two horses separately, if the horses are frightened, they will scatter." Bai Jinye looked at Pei Qingge while talking, "Why are you so guarded against me? I can't control you."

Pei Qingge pursed his lips slightly, but still said, "Bai Jinye, don't worry about it."

"At this moment, do you think you can get out of the city by yourself?" Bai Jinye looked at her, "Even if you can get out of the city, what about the horse? Are you going to walk there?"

Pei Qingge's hands were clenched into fists, and after a long time, he raised his hand and patted Bai Jinye's away, and got on the horse by himself by pulling the reins.

There were soldiers guarding the east gate, and when they saw it was Bai Jinye, they didn't stop him.

But Bai Jinye pulled the reins and stopped, "Go and inform General Hua and General Ni that I will meet them tomorrow morning and ask them to clear away all the ashes outside the city tonight and pay attention to patrolling."

"Yes." The leading soldier responded and hurriedly followed suit.

Only then did Bai Jinye continue to walk outside the city.

He has never been to that temple, but he has been to the foot of the mountain when he was patrolling the city before, so he is still familiar with this section of the road.

Even if it is raining heavily and the line of sight is blocked, the impact will not be great.

Anyway, this section is flat ground, and it's okay to walk, but when we get to the mountain, the grass and leaves are wet, and the ground is too slippery. After walking for a while, the horse has no way to go.

The two had no choice but to get off the horse. Bai Jinye tied the horse to a tree and looked up the mountain, unable to tell the direction at all, "Are you sure you want to go up?"

Pei Qingge looked around, pinched a few seals in his hands, and summoned a wandering soul.

They couldn't tell the direction and didn't know how to go, but the wandering soul on this mountain must know, "Follow me."

Although Bai Jinye didn't know what Pei Qingge was doing, he also knew that since she dared to come, there was still a way, so he immediately followed her footsteps.

Although the road is difficult, but fortunately, the temple was used to receive incense, so it was not hidden in the deep mountains and old forests. Walking in one direction, walking up the mountain, and reaching the top of the mountain, you can vaguely see the temple in a leeward The place.

There is a Buddha in the temple, and the wandering soul dare not come too far, so Pei Qingge just waved his hand and let it go.

Seen from a height, there was a faint light in the temple, but the light flickered on and off, as if it would go out at any moment.

Pei Qingge and Bai Jinye walked in front of the temple. The gate of the temple was broken and could no longer be closed, so the two of them walked in without knocking.

This temple is a square courtyard, which is not very big. There is a big tripod in the middle of the courtyard, and the side buildings on the left and right have long since collapsed in disrepair.

Only the main hall of the Buddhist hall was lit, and the two of them arrived at the entrance of the main hall.

Bai Jinye raised his hand and knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside. He patted on the door vigorously again. After a long time, the door was pulled open a small gap from the inside.

A stooped old monk in a cassock with many patches looked out from the crack of the door.

"Master, we came to the mountain to worship our ancestors. We got lost in the heavy rain and found a temple here. Would you like to come and stay overnight, can you?" Pei Qingge asked.

The old monk looked at it for a long time before turning around and walking back without closing the door, which should mean that they were allowed in.

Bai Jinye turned his head and glanced at Pei Qingge, then opened the door and walked in.

Although the temple was dilapidated, it could still shelter from the wind and rain. There was a stove burning inside, and the temple was considered warm.

Not far from the stove was a long mat of rushes. The old monk half-lyed on the mat, closed his eyes, and twirled Buddhist beads in his hand, as if he didn't intend to pay attention to the two people who entered the door.

Pei Qingge took off his coir raincoat and put it at the door. Bai Jinye found two futons and put them by the stove. The two of them sat down and warmed up for a while. After the cold air dissipated, Pei Qingge said, "Master, let me see your face. It seems to be dying soon."

The old monk's fingers twirling the beads stopped, paused for a while, then opened his eyes, looked around the two people, and then smiled, "There are three people in a room with six legs, and three of them are at the gate of hell." inside."

Pei Qingge frowned, "What does Master mean by that?"

"The old monk is about to pass away, and he has stepped into the gate of hell with one leg. This male benefactor is not much better than the old monk. The old monk's legs are slow. Maybe we can meet him on the Naihe bridge. As for you..." The old monk's eyes stopped on Pei Qingge on his face, "You only crawled out of the gate of hell, don't you know?"

Pei Qingge didn't expect that the old monk could tell at a glance that she was reborn. She had indeed crawled out of the gate of hell and lived on this body, but what was the meaning of the half crawled out? "Also ask the master to give pointers."

The old monk recited a Buddhist gatha, with a hint of helplessness on his face, as if he was struggling with something, before he sighed and said, "That's all." After speaking, he sat up and looked at Pei Qingge, "There are living people The way of the dead, the way of the dead, why bother to walk the way that does not belong to you?"
