Don't pretend, anchor, I've seen you touch the golden talisman!

Chapter 246

The group returned to the camp in the rain.

Fifth brother had already moved their important things away, leaving only a few tents in place.

He knocked on the gate of Pujing Temple and explained the reason to Zhike Monk. Fifth Brother had already taken care of everything.

A few people braved the rain and first searched around the temple. The place was not small. Except for a few main halls and the resting place for monks in the backyard, they did not go in. They looked at other places that could be seen, but nothing was gained.

Finally, we can only go back to the Zen room where pilgrims and lay people stay.

Brother Wu is waiting for them here.

"There is no onion, ginger, and garlic in the temple. How about I cook a bowl of ginger soup for you. Now there is only hot tea. Drink some to warm up your body first. How about it? What can I gain?"

Fifth Brother asked with concern.

"Hey, forget about Fifth Brother. I found everything I needed to look for and saw everything I needed to see. In the end, I pointed to this temple. We just walked around again, but there was still nothing."

Wang Qiang distributed some tea to everyone and sat around on the futons one by one.

"What are you looking for? I have figured out this temple, so ask me."

Wu Ge is worthy of being a "social person" that Pao Ge will come out, and his way of walking the rivers and lakes is also very different.

In a short period of time, not only did he become friends with the masters in the temple, but he also got a thorough understanding of the surrounding terrain, ensuring that he could find a way out in the first place.

"Fifth brother, do you know if there is a water vein in this temple?"

Lin Yi was also polite and asked directly.

"Water veins, what counts as water veins?"

"Rivers, lakes and seas are considered large water veins, while streams and springs are considered small water veins." Qian Sheng explained at the side.

Fifth Brother raised his head and pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"I didn't find the water vein you mentioned, and there aren't any springs around."

When everyone was disappointed, Fifth Brother suddenly began to say:

"Does the well count?"

"well?"

Lin Yiteng sat up from the futon.

"Is there a well in this temple?"

Brother Wu nodded.

"This is not a rare thing. It was originally a basin. When there were no water pipes here, we relied on water from the old well in the backyard.

Nowadays, they still get well water to make tea. The master here said that every time it rains, the water in the well will rise and the water will be muddy. Otherwise, we can also drink the bamboo leaves soaked in the well water. "

"The ground water surges up! Isn't this the water dragon we're looking for raising its head?" Qian Sheng immediately came to his senses.

"Fifth brother, you really helped us a lot! Where is this well?"

Seeing how excited Lin Yi and the others were, Fifth Brother hadn't woken up yet, thinking how could a well make them so excited in the middle of the night?
"The well is in the backyard, where the masters in the temple sleep."

When Wang Qiang heard this, he slapped his hands suddenly.

"Hey, we just passed by there, but we didn't knock on the door and went in to take a look. Didn't we miss it?"

“Those places are not open to tourists originally, so don’t show your shyness!”

Bai Lu reminded in a low voice.

"If you want to go in and have a look, it's not a problem, but you have to wait until tomorrow morning, when Master is doing morning class, I will go to say hello and take you in to have a look."

"Then I will trouble Brother Fifth!"

Lin Yi raised his teacup and offered tea instead of wine to Fifth Brother.

"Brother, if you need anything from me, just ask." The fifth brother raised his glass in reply.

Now, Lin Yi and the others finally felt at ease.

If nothing else, this well water is the key to unlocking this "Hidden Dragon's Cave".

It was already three o'clock in the morning, and according to the monks' schedule in the monastery, the morning class was around 5-6 o'clock in the morning, and there were three hours left, which was enough for Lin Yi.

Last night, I followed Chen Erwa until midnight, and I didn't sleep well in the second half of the night. Now that my knot is untied, I can sleep soundly.

In the early morning, the night rain had stopped, the morning bell in the temple rang, and all the monks gathered in the Daxiong Hall for morning classes.

Brother Wu greeted the master in charge, and led Lin Yi and the others to the backyard to look for the ancient well.

For ease of use, the well rails of the ancient well were rebuilt with red bricks and cement, and only the mouth of the well remained in a primitive state.

When Lin Yi took a closer look, the mouth of the well was made of two huge stones, and a circle was cut out in the middle, with a diameter of about one meter. There were traces of smashing and knocking on the huge stone, but these traces have been around for a long time.

The wellhead is still covered with moss, and because of the temperature difference, the wellhead is still emitting bursts of dense mist.

"This is the well. You see, the water in the well is still muddy. I heard from the masters here that the mouth of the well used to be in the shape of a dragon's head. a base."

Fifth Brother pointed to the well water and said.

Qian Sheng came closer and looked at the stone of the base, then stretched out his hand to touch the cross section.

"Not new."

Wang Qiang yawned and moved closer to the mouth of the well to look down.

Because of the rainfall, the water level of the well almost reached the mouth of the well, and the surface of the water was muddy, making it impossible to see the situation below.

"This well water needs to be clarified and we have to wait for a while. How about it, Lao Lin, do you see anything?"

Lin Yi put away his compass and pointed at the wellhead:

"While the Qianlong is in the abyss, it will be auspicious when it encounters water. Qianlong raises its head and soars into the sky! This is it!"

"What do you mean, this 'Tomb of the Eight Great Kings' was built under a well? Isn't that really the Eight Great Kings?"

"According to the inference in the "Hidden Dragon Scripture", this is indeed where 'Ji Rang' is. As for what is going on under this well, we have never gone down, so no one dares to say for sure."

Upon hearing this, Fifth Brother looked at Lin Yi and the others in disbelief.

"You're going down into the well?"

Lin Yi nodded.

"However, it's not now, so this matter may have to trouble Fifth Brother."

When the fifth brother heard this, he reached out and held his hair.

"This matter is not easy to handle. There are many masters in the monastery, and this is where they rest. It is a bit troublesome for you guys to make such a big noise here."

It's not that he shirks, the situation is indeed as Fifth Brother said, it is not so easy to dismiss these monks.

Seeing his distressed face, Qian Sheng walked up to Fifth Brother.

"We can donate some incense money to the temple, and I also checked. This Pujing Temple belongs to the Zen sect. We can invite these masters to visit Shaoshi Mountain in Zhongzhou, which is the ancestral home of Zen."

"Yes, yes, your method is good. I will discuss with the masters after the morning class."

"Then I would like to trouble Fifth Brother to make a trip. If it works, we will immediately book air tickets for the masters, the sooner the better!"

Qian Sheng's method is indeed safer. When the time comes, the temple will close its gates and turn away the monks and tourists. For them, they can work without any worries.

After the masters finished their morning classes, Fifth Brother went over to communicate.

Hearing that someone donated incense, the master in charge was of course very happy, and when he heard that he wanted to give alms, and invited them to visit the ancestral court, he clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name repeatedly.

This time, Lin Yi and the others won a full three days of precious time.
