At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. The official roads in the mountains that went to Baohe County were washed away by the rain, and the official roads were rugged and difficult to walk too quickly. After passing through the dense forests in the mountains, I walked on a torch for more than half an hour before I saw the lights on the hillside in the distance. It should be the Baohe Temple they passed by before!

Yang Zaixing and others suddenly became energetic and couldn't help but speed up. However, the road in the mountains was like this. It looked very close and there was still a long way to go.

After walking for another half an hour, I slowly saw clearly that there was indeed a building hidden in the light, which appeared and disappeared in the mountains and forests.

After a while, they arrived at the gate of the ancient temple and followed about ten steps. The mountain gate could not be called because there was only a broken door frame left, and the two temple gates had long been gone.

Standing in front of the door frame, holding the torch and looking up, I saw that there were five big words written on a plaque directly above the mountain gate: "Baohe Ganying Temple".

Yang Zaixing walked in first. There was a very large yard inside. In the hazy, you could roughly see the situation in the yard.

The temple is very simple, and there are only three houses that can be seen. There is a main hall in the middle, and there are two rows next to it. I vaguely saw that there was also an entrance to the yard behind.

The temple is surrounded by a wall of two people, but it is also much broken and dilapidated. You can vaguely see the dark woods outside.

The light I just saw was coming from the hall on the front, but the door was closed and I couldn't see clearly what was inside.

"Is there anyone in the temple?"

At Ma Jin's instructions, Yang Zaixing stood in the yard and shouted

As soon as the words came to an end, the gate of the hall creaked open, and a simple-dressed old monk walked out, put his hands together and said loudly: "Amitabha! I am the abbot of this temple, dear donors, this is polite!"

Ma Jin also bowed and said, "I have seen Master Abstinence. I am waiting in a hurry to go on the road. I missed the Guantou and wanted to stay in Guibaozha for a night. I wonder if the master can do it?"

Jiese heard this and pronounced the Buddha's name again, raised his hand and said, "Amitabha! Of course, it's okay, but the small temple has been disrepaired for a long time. If there is no hospitality, I hope all donors will forgive me!"

"That's natural, there is enough shelter from the wind and rain!" Ma Jin hurriedly bowed and thanked.

Then he followed Jie Se into the hall. After entering the hall, he looked inside. Ma Jin couldn't help but be stunned. He saw that the hall was really lively and there were already many people. Ma Jin glanced at him and found that the Baohe County Magistrate Yu Shizhen and his five people whom he met yesterday were also among them.

There were two groups of people, one was a middle-aged man with a round face dressed by a businessman, with eleven or two people, who looked like he was traveling with his family, and a young man dressed in a scholar also sat alone.

Seeing Ma Jin and others coming in, everyone in the hall looked over and said, "They were also passing by here, because the road was difficult to walk on the road, so they stayed in the temple."

The young man who looked like a scholar stood up and bowed to Ma Jin and the others and said, "You are also anxious to go on a journey because you can't go any further tomorrow, right? We are the same, just one step ahead of you. Haha, it's really a fate."

Ma Jin also bowed and smiled, "Yes, it is also fate to meet in this ancient temple in the deep mountains! I'm dismounting and asking you what to call me on the platform?"

The scholar returned the courtesy and said, "I'm going to Shi Yun."

The fat middle-aged man with a merchant-like appearance saw that Ma Jin was very handsome and had so many followers on his side, he also stood up and smiled and said, "I am Qin Yi, a small merchant, and I have seen this young master."

Yu Shizhen, who was sitting aside, also bowed his hand, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Ma Jin hurriedly replied: "Mr. Qin, I'm lucky to meet you! I'm lucky to meet you!"

As he said that, he bowed to Yu Shizhen again as a gift.

At this time, a beautiful lady beside Qin Yi also came forward, staring at Ma Jin with beautiful eyes, and bent with a smile: "Young master, I am polite!"

Ma Jin was a little uncomfortable when the woman was staring at her hot eyes, and her brows frowned slightly. He did not have Cao Mengde's hobbies, but he still bowed and said, "I didn't ask this lady for advice..."

Seeing this, Qin Yi hurriedly interrupted and said, "This is Zhuo Jing Wang."

Ma Jin smiled reluctantly and returned a bow, then turned to the side of the fish and said, "Master, I am really tired when I waited all the way. I wonder if there is still room for us to rest?"

After seeing Ma Jin and his party, more than 30 people hurriedly said, "There are only a monk and a bad disciple in the temple. He is preparing vegetarian food in the vegetarian room. There are still many empty rooms in the backyard of the temple, which is enough for the donors to stay. I will take you there." After that, he picked up a small lantern, led the way in front, and walked directly to the side door of the hall.

Ma Jin bowed to the people in the hall again, and walked towards the backyard with Jie Se. When he walked out of the side hall, he saw that it was a small courtyard. Because the sky was so dark, he could not see clearly that the courtyard was very empty, with only a few trees. There were a row of houses in front of the hall, and there were several wing rooms on both sides.

"Donor, except for the wing room on the right, where I am a monk and a little disciple live, you can use the other rooms at will," Jiese clasped his hands together and said.

"Then I thanked the master!" Ma Jin hurriedly replied with a smile.

As he said that, Ma Jin found a house and entered the house. He lit the lights. He saw that the furnishings in the wing room were extremely simple, with only a hard bed and a square table and two chairs. There was a thin quilt on the bed, so nothing else was left, but it was cleaned very clean. It seemed that there should be many people staying here.

Wang Chengen frowned when he entered the room and said to Ma Jin: "Young master is so simple, why don't I ask the abbot to change another room for you?"

"Okay, it would be nice to have a house that can shelter from the wind and rain. It's better than sleeping in the open air? Besides, you see, this temple is so dilapidated, and they may not live better than here." Ma Jin waved his hand and smiled when he heard this.

"Young Master, Abbot Jiese said that the vegetarian meal has been prepared, let's go over." At this time, Gao Shun's voice came from outside the door.

"Let's go, I'm really hungry!" Ma Jin Wenyan said to Wang Chengen, and walked outside the house.

When Ma Jin and others walked to the Daxiong Hall, except for the abbot of Jiese, there was no one in the hall. I guess they all went to the vegetarian room.

At this time, Ma Jin saw a merit box in front of the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, and waved his hand to signal Wang Chengen to put some money in to serve as a meal. When he saw Ma Jin, he signaled Wang Chengen to quickly take out a large invoice of silver from his arms and throw it in.

Although monks are empty in all four elements, they still eat grains and miscellaneous foods, so they naturally cannot do without money. When the abbot of Abstinence saw Wang Chengen's wish to invest money in the merit box, he hurriedly thanked him. Although he couldn't say he was jealous of money, he was still very happy to see a donor donating incense.

Everyone entered the vegetarian room on the side of the Main Hall, where there were several long tables, one of which could sit down for about twenty people. It must have been left behind by Baohe Temple when there were many monks in the past, which also shows how prosperous this Baohe Temple was before.

However, today's dining hall is also very lively, and Ma Jin and others have almost made three big tables.
