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

Chapter 346 Since the benefactor sincerely worships the Buddha
As soon as Bai Jinye and Pei Zimo arrived outside Fuzhou City, they ran into Zuo Ci who had been waiting for them.

Zuo Ci and Han Yu rode fast horses all the way, which was much faster than their carriage, and they had already figured out the affairs of Shen Yi'an's hometown.

"My lord, Shen Yi'an's hometown is in Ping County, south of Fuzhou, and it's about three days away from here." Zuo Ci said, looking up at the sky. It was just noon, "Look at us..."

Bai Jinye frowned slightly, and took a look into the city, thinking that if he had time, he could still visit his grandfather.He turned his head to look inside the carriage again, sighed softly, "Let's go now."

"Okay." Zuo Ci nodded, got on his horse, and led the way with Han Yu.

Since yesterday afternoon, Pei Zimo has also started to fall asleep. He fed the blood lotus once, but she didn't wake up. Now it will take three days to get to Ping County, so there is really no time to delay.

At the very beginning, Bai Jinye would still take Pei Zimo's body into consideration, and try to keep the carriage as stable as possible without bumping, but now, he can only rush to Ping County as soon as possible.

Although Ping County is a county seat, it covers a large area, several times larger than Xici County at the foot of Qionghua Mountain, and it is also much more prosperous.

The temple is not in the county seat, but ten miles east of the city.

The temple is not big, and it doesn't even have a name. It is surrounded by a low wall, and there is only one Buddhist hall inside, with a side room on the left and right, and there is no incense in the Buddhist hall.

Zuo Ci stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, a middle-aged monk in his 40s opened the courtyard door. He looked at the people in front of him before he asked, "Several benefactors, are there any problems?"

"Master, one of our family members is sick and wants to go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha." Zuo Ci said.

The middle-aged monk clasped his hands together, "Twenty miles ahead, there is the Chongguang Temple where the local incense is the most prosperous. The local people go there to burn incense and worship Buddha. A few benefactors should go there."

Zuo Ci was stunned for a moment, and then said, "To be honest, we were instructed by someone to find the master abbot here."

The middle-aged monk was silent for a while before asking, "What's the name of the person who taught you?"

Zuo Ci turned to look at Bai Jinye, saw him nodding, and said, "Shen Yi'an."

Hearing this name, the middle-aged monk frowned and said, "Several benefactors, wait a moment." After finishing speaking, he closed the door and returned to the Buddhist hall. After a long time, he came back to open the door again, "Several benefactors Please come inside the benefactor."

The gate of the courtyard was not big, and the carriage couldn't get in at all. Bai Jinye had no choice but to get out of the carriage, opened the curtain, and was about to pick up Pei Zimo when she opened her eyes.

"Here?" Pei Zimo frowned, his voice weak.

Bai Jinye nodded, helped Pei Zimo get off the carriage, and walked into the yard.

Zuo Ci and Han Yu carried Ling Luo on their backs, and followed them into the door.

The middle-aged monk looked at Pei Zimo, and his eyes fell on Ling Luo again. There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he still didn't say anything, and led a few people into the Buddhist hall, "Master, people are brought in."

The Buddhist hall is not big, there is only a Buddha in the middle, but a layer of dust has accumulated on the incense table in front of the Buddha, obviously no one has wiped and burned incense for a long time.

In front of the Buddha statue, three futons were randomly placed, and the futons were also dirty. It seemed that although there were two monks in the temple, no one worshiped Buddha.

To the east of the Buddhist hall is a small tavern, and an old monk is lying on the couch with squinted eyes.

The Buddhist hall is too small to accommodate so many people.

Zuo Ci took a look, but there was no place to sit, and even the ground seemed cleaner than a futon. After hesitating for a while, he could only let Ling Luo sit by the wall, let him lean against the wall, and hurriedly He went out with Han Yu.

When they went out, there was finally a place in the Buddhist hall where they could turn around.

The old monk opened his eyes and looked at the middle-aged monk, "You have a distinguished guest, why don't you make tea?"

The middle-aged monk had a look of embarrassment on his face, "Master, we have no more tea."

"Oh?" The old monk raised his eyebrows, "There's no more tea, so forget it, the distinguished guests are not here to drink tea." After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the middle-aged monk withdrew.

The old monk sat up slowly, raised his hand and pointed casually, and said to Bai Jinye and Pei Zimo, "Sit down."

Is there any place to sit here?

Fortunately, Zuo Ci had eyesight, so he hurried in again, swept the dust off the futon, took off his coat and spread it on the futon, and then exited.

Bai Jinye helped Pei Zimo to sit down, but when the old monk sneered, he frowned slightly and turned his head to look over.

"People in the world are vulgar." The old monk shook his head before asking, "Where did you meet Shen Yi'an?"

"In Fuzhou." Bai Jinye saw that the old monk was somewhat eccentric, so he could only ignore his dislike of them.

"Fuzhou." The old monk thought about it, "It should be a while, right?"

Bai Jinye nodded.

"If it wasn't a last resort, Shen Yi'an probably wouldn't mention me to outsiders. It seems... Then it should be before his death? Is it because of you that he died?" The old monk asked again.

"At that time, we did ask him something, but he may have said something that shouldn't be said, so his soul spontaneously ignited." Bai Jinye replied after pondering for a moment.

The old monk chuckled, "I said something that shouldn't be said..." He paused, as if he didn't intend to pursue the matter further, "Then what are you here for?"

"My two friends were injured. From Shen Yi'an's description, we probably understood that the master should have a way to save my two friends, so I took the liberty to come here." Bai Jinye said.

"Why should I save your friend?" The old monk shook his sleeve robe, as if he didn't want to care about anything.

Bai Jinye was silent for a while, then turned his head to look outside, and then said, "Shen Yi'an said before that you are the only one in this temple, and now there is another master, so the food expenses must also increase a lot. Before There may be a donation from the Shen family, but now it seems that the Shen family has not given alms for a long time, otherwise I will be responsible for all the expenses in this temple in the future, is that okay?"

"You?" The old monk glanced at Bai Jinye, "How long can you be in charge? Like the Shen family, you will be in charge for decades, and then you won't care about it?"

Bai Jinye called Zuo Ci over, and asked him for a bank note, "This is 1 taels, which should be enough to last the monastery for a few years. After that, I will ask someone to bring the bank note over regularly."

Seeing the banknote in Bai Jinye's hand, the old monk's eyes lit up, he quickly stood up from the couch, walked over a few steps, almost snatched the banknote from his hand, and stuffed it into his bosom. He muttered in a low voice, "1 taels? The benefactor is really generous. The Shen family has donated for decades, but they haven't spent so much money. They send some cabbage and radishes every day, and everyone eats green. The money is good, the money is good. , now you can buy meat to eat."

After finishing speaking, he realized that he had slipped his tongue, coughed quickly, and sat down directly regardless of the dust on the ground, "Seeing that the benefactor sincerely bows to the Buddha, I will help you see your two friends."
