Chapter 99 The fox turns white (please vote)(2/2)
The white is slightly mottled, but not eye-catchingly white.
However, the tip of the tail is still red. But the newly grown fur is no longer the red fox color before, but more like the red autumn leaves on both sides of the river now, which looks quite magical.
Don't know what's going on.
"Eat."
Lin Jue handed the skewers to her.
Unknowingly, the tent boat sailed past the fishing village and passed the red leaves on both sides of the bank.
Unrestrained and unrestrained young Taoists often sing and recite poems loudly while rowing oars, and their voices echo in the mountains on both sides of the river. Little girls in Taoist robes often meditate at the bow and stern of the boat, or serve donkeys, or hold long swords.
Walk dangerously on the narrow side of the ship and dance with the sword, practicing your body and sword skills.
Lin Jue often walked in and out of the cabin, or sat on the board petting the fox and admiring the autumn light and the color of the river.
He often asked people on the boat next to him for directions in a loud voice.
"We're going to Bird and Mouse Mountain."
The third senior brother said to them uncertainly.
"Really?"
Lin Jue opened the curtain and walked out.
"Really." Third Brother pointed at the pier in front and said, "Look, does it look like the pier where we boarded the ship in early August?"
"It's true."
"I'll just tell you?"
"Senior brother, you are actually reliable for once."
"What does it mean to be unexpected?"
The third senior brother was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't care. Finally he could go ashore. He laughed and threw away the oar.
Lin Jue also went back to pack his bags.
Soon several people arrived on the shore.
It is indeed more comfortable to travel by boat these days than to travel by land. However, after wandering on the river for a long time, it is inevitable that there will still be a sense of unsteadiness. Therefore, when a few people encounter the pier, they often dock, not only for shopping and to join in the fun and see the customs on both sides of the river.
I also want to get some favors.
Now that we have docked, we are naturally happy.
As for this boat, it was given to someone who was destined to be on the river.
"Hahaha……"
A donkey, three Taoists, and a fox, accompanied by a few laughs, walked back and forth by reminiscing about the past.
Find a place where there are no people around, there will be one more donkey.
Lin Jue was carrying an empty book and his footsteps were brisk.
This is already in Huizhou, and there are villages near the water everywhere. The white walls and green tiles are reflected in the water, and they are already somewhat familiar.
"There's something wrong."
Lin Jue said as he walked.
"What's wrong?"
"When we came here, we stayed at a place thirty miles away from the pier. We arrived at the pier the next morning. Today we also arrived at the pier in the morning and were about to walk to the place where we stayed. But now we have just passed
At noon, do you think we should continue moving forward?"
"Of course moving forward."
"Then it will be different from where we came from."
"What's the point? Just find a place to spend the night." The third senior brother said with a smile, "Besides, junior brother, you are worrying too much. Based on our memory, we may not be able to stay on the same road as when we came here."
"That's true."
Sure enough, it was almost dusk again.
It’s different now than when I came——
It was not yet the Mid-Autumn Festival when we arrived, and the night was cool but not too cold. Now it is late autumn, and the night chill is already deep, especially in the mountains.
Third Brother saw someone wielding a hoe on the roadside, so he walked up and asked:
"Old man, you're welcome. We are Taoists from Yishan Mountain. We are traveling here. Is there any place nearby where I can stay overnight?"
"Stay overnight? Hotel?"
The old man stopped his hoe and looked at them.
“A hotel is fine too.”
"Ten miles away, the village is called Rabbit Shop, and there is a Thatched Shop in the village."
"later?"
The third senior brother turned around, looked in the direction he came from, and frowned: "We don't want to go back, is there a place to stay ahead?"
"In front? There's one in front too." The old farmer held a hoe and pointed to the mountain in front of him. "You are Taoist priests. There is a temple in the mountain in front of you. It is very efficacious. Bodhisattvas often appear and the monks are kind. You can ask and see the temple.
Are there any rooms or berths left?"
"Huh? Do Bodhisattvas often appear?" The third senior brother became interested and couldn't help but ask, "Which Bodhisattva is it?"
"How do I know this? Those monks don't know it themselves. Anyway, they are Bodhisattvas and are often seen." The old farmer said, "There are many people going to the temple. If you want to go, go early."
"Can I stay with a female guest?"
"Why not? There are always women's families of dignitaries from the city staying in that temple."
"Thank you!"
The third senior brother smiled and thanked him, then looked back at Lin Jue.
"Just go there."
Not long after Lin Jue left Shucun, he stayed in a mountain temple, so he had a good impression of the temple.
"good!"
The three of them made a decision and looked eagerly. They didn't see the temple, but they saw green smoke rising from the mountains. It was probably the temple.
So we headed in that direction to find a way.
By dusk, we had arrived at the temple gate.
The three of them stopped and looked up at the same time.
This temple is called Songyin Temple.
Written below are couplets:
In the Sandalwood Hall, worship the Buddha and forget about worldly affairs;
Zen monks realize the secret of heaven in the pine forest.
This temple seems to be quite big. There is the smell of incense and candles from inside, and you can faintly hear voices inside. It seems to be really lively.
The junior sister came forward and knocked on the door.
"Dong dong dong..."
Soon a monk came to open the door.
Seeing several Taoist priests outside the door, the monk couldn't help but be startled.
Chapter completed!
