Lin Zhixiu looked at the way back and forth again, "Your Highness doesn't know what's going on. Why did it take so long?"

Wu Dong said, "Let's walk slowly! We still have to walk for a while!"

Lin Zhixiu got in the car. The road was always uphill.

After walking for almost two more hours, as the sun was setting, Lin Zhixiu and his party arrived at the mountain gate halfway up the mountain.

Baoxiang Temple is built on the mountainside, surrounded by woods and a stream next to it. You can watch the sunrise and sunset. The scenery is quite beautiful.

It is not large in scale, but it is well designed. During its construction, very sophisticated wood was used, and it is famous for its mortise and tenon structure.

Because the terrain is steep and far away from human habitation. It is cold in winter and the roads are difficult to walk, so not many people come here on weekdays.

There are not many monks in the temple, but the people this temple receives are basically from rich or noble families.

With strong financial resources, the surrounding mountains, forests and land are the temple's property.

Families who need to perform religious services usually book the temple directly, and their accommodation is located outside the temple.

Lin Zhixiu got out of the car and stretched her legs and feet. Nan Yan supported her and walked towards the temple.

Outside the mountain gate, there are more than a dozen families, and people cutting firewood and hunting can also be seen on the paths.

Therefore, no one noticed that a figure disappeared in a flash.

The man was hiding in the dark and saw Lin Zhixiu and his party, with a smile on his face... Everything went as planned!

As soon as Lin Zhixiu and his party entered the mountain gate, they were greeted by several monks.

Walking at the front was an old monk, smiling and clasping his hands, "Amitabha, Abbot Yuan Yuan of Baoxiang Temple, welcome the donor!"

Wu Dong first came over and said, "Master Yuanyuan, how are you always?" He put his hands together and saluted.

The old monk had a compassionate smile on his face: "Bodhisattva bless you, everything is going well for Lao Na. Donor Wu, you have worked hard all the way!"

Wu Dong said, "The weather is good today, and the journey is going smoothly! I'm afraid I will have to trouble the abbot in these two days!"

"What are you talking about, donor!? It is our honor to go to Baoxiang Temple to perform rituals in your mansion. All food and accommodation have been prepared!"

Wu Dong said, "Excuse me, Abbot. Regarding accommodation, I want to go check it out first! When our master comes, we can discuss the arrangements for tomorrow."

The old monk said, "Everything depends on the benefactor's arrangement." Pointing to a disciple, he said, "This is my disciple Mingkong. Let him take Donor Wu to have a look."

The old monk glanced at Lin Zhixiu and said, "At this moment, the sunset is just right and the scenery is infinite. Donor Wu, this female donor, would you like to go to the platform above first, sit for a while and look at the sunset scenery?"

Convenient to arrange everything.”

Wu Dong asked, "Madam, look..."

Lin Zhixiu didn't talk to the old monk. At this moment, she felt the air was fresh, the scenery was beautiful, and she felt very comfortable. When Wu Dong asked, she nodded, "Okay, let's go and have a seat!"

The old monk pointed to a little monk who was about six years old and said, "Female donor, let the old monk's disciple Xiao Wuhen take you to sit on the platform above. The view is the best there! We have prepared water for soaking in the mountain spring.

Tea!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhixiu was very satisfied, "Dongyun, follow Uncle Dong and clean up the room. I will take Nan Yan to sit for a while. If I come, let him go up to find me!"

They did not occupy the temple as a royal palace, so they are now called madam and lord.

Wu Dong asked one of the guards, "Xiao Tiezi, you guys go around the yard and make sure there are no mice or anything on the road!"

It’s true that I’m afraid of rats, but I definitely want to walk around the temple without seeing any outsiders.

The young monk was not angry. When he saw such a beautiful woman, his ears turned red. He solemnly made a gesture of invitation, "Female Bodhisattva, please come with the young monk!"

Lin Zhixiu said goodbye to the abbot and followed the young monk.

Next to the old monk, stood a middle-aged monk with his eyes lowered and a smile on his face. At this moment, he turned his face and looked at Lin Zhixiu's back with a complicated expression.

The young monk walked in front, followed by a guard. Nan Yan accompanied Lin Zhixiu and walked along the path to the platform mentioned by the old monk.

There are some ginkgo trees planted in the mountain temple. At this time, the ground is covered with golden color.

The Buddhist temple on the roadside has red walls and gray tiles. It has wooden doors and stone roads, a gurgling stream, winding paths, and red and yellow everywhere.

The scenery is very beautiful.

At this moment, the weather is not too cold and the wind is not too strong. After riding all the way here, it is very comfortable to walk here.

The little monk walked with him for a while, went up a flight of steps, turned a few turns, and walked to a platform.

The guard looked around and found nothing out of the ordinary, "Madam, I'll go check somewhere else."

Lin Zhixiu nodded and walked along the platform. The temple was indeed prepared. Parasols were set up, wooden tables and chairs were prepared, and a small charcoal stove was placed beside the flowing mountain spring to heat water.

There were teapots, teacups, a few small plates filled with peanuts and melon seeds, and a few fiery red persimmons.

The chairs are covered with thick cushions.

Very attentive!

Nan Yan walked around again and said, "Mother, are you tired? Sit down for a while?!"

Lin Zhixiu said, "I'm tired on the road. After walking for a while, I feel more comfortable."

She slowly walked to the edge of the platform and looked into the distance: the dusk was heavy and the sun was setting in the west. The clouds, mountains, trees, and fields under the mountains were all reflected in red...

Looking at it, feeling...

The young monk had already brewed the tea and stepped forward to bow, "Two female Bodhisattvas, please drink some tea!"

Nan Yan looked at him, feeling very cute, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, young master! Madam, would you like some tea?"

Lin Zhixiu hummed, but stood there without moving.

Afraid of inconvenience along the way, Nan Yan didn't drink much water. Now she was really thirsty, so she picked up the teacup and drank it all.

The little monk said obediently, "Female Bodhisattva, Master Mingjing said that new chestnuts have been roasted in the kitchen. Let me go and bring some now!"

Nan Yan smiled secretly. Judging from the young monk's appearance, she must have been greedy. She took out a small whitebait from her purse and gave it to him, "Then go and come back quickly!"

The little monk took it with a blushing face, thanked them politely, and ran away.

Nan Yan looked at his bouncing back and suddenly felt dizzy.

Tired on the road? Quickly find a chair and sit down.

As a result, as soon as I sat down, everything went dark in front of me. I couldn't scream even if I wanted to, so I just leaned on the chair.

Lin Zhixiu didn't know that she was still looking down the mountain. Such a beautiful scenery, how wonderful it would be if her parents were still here?

On Wu Dong's side, he and Mingjing quickly arranged the house and food. Several guards also checked around and came back, "Mr. Wu, I checked everything and asked questions. There are no outsiders today!"

Wu Dong said, "Okay, let's go. I'll go to the platform and ask the queen to go back to the room to rest for a while! Xiaotie, you went down the mountain to greet the prince, why haven't you arrived yet?"

While talking, Wu Dong took Wu Buhao and a guard to pick up Lin Zhixiu.

The three of them walked to the platform, only to find that Nan Yan was leaning on the ground, motionless.

And Lin Zhixiu disappeared...
Chapter completed!
