Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Puji Temple

One can imagine the hardships of walking through knee-high snow and pulling grain like cattle and horses.And Ding Hao is the hardest one among all, because the sled is too heavy and the strength of the mules and horses is insufficient. He not only has to pull the sled with a rope, but also runs back and forth from time to time to take care of the entire convoy. , instructing Min Zhuang to tie up the broken sledges. After working so hard, on the third day, Ding Hao finally fell ill due to exhaustion. He could only lie on the sled and be dragged away.He had a persistent high fever, and even decocting the appropriate medicines brought by the convoy had no effect, and his forehead was scalding frighteningly.

There was no one in this place, and there was nowhere to seek medical treatment. Ding Yuluo was startled and frightened, so he had to wrap ice and snow in his own silk handkerchief and put it on his forehead to cool him down, so as not to burn his brain.Ding Hao was drowsy all the way, seldom awake and often confused. He only knew that the whole convoy was still advancing on the endless snow field. If Guangyuan City was never seen again, this exhausted team might be completely destroyed. Collapse, a body of flesh and blood, after all, there is a limit to strength, it is impossible to do something against the sky with a single effort.

On the morning of the fifth day, Ding Hao's fever subsided a little, and his mind became clearer. Ding Yuluo was overjoyed. While pulling the string, she turned her head to talk to Ding Hao. A strange scream sounded. Ding Yuluo was startled, and hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see that the team had turned around a low hillside, and a group of buildings appeared on the vast snowy field. From a distance, he knew it was a temple.Feng Dazhang whip in front seemed to throw himself into the snowdrift, and when he got up again, he danced and yelled like crazy. It turned out that this temple was called Puji Temple, and it was the largest temple outside the city of Guangyuan. The abbot, Master Kongkong, had profound Buddhist teachings and great prestige. Many wealthy gentry and celebrities in Guangyuan City often came to the temple to offer incense and listen to Master Kongkong.Feng Dazhangbian naturally recognized such a famous monastery.

Because they broke into the wilderness along the way, they didn't take the road, and because of the heavy snow, there were no obvious signs, so Feng Dazhangbian could only walk in the general direction, and didn't know where he was.Only when he got here did he realize that he had already arrived outside Guangyuan City.It is only half a day away from Guangyuan City. Of course, that is the speed of ordinary light vehicles. According to their current speed, they still have to walk for a full day. Knowing that they had arrived in Guangyuan City, the entire convoy was as happy as a group of lunatics. They dragged the grain truck with all their strength and rushed towards Puji Temple, screaming wildly.

Four young monks in front of the gate of Puji Temple were vigorously sweeping the snow with big brooms when they suddenly saw a group of people coming in a mighty manner, bringing countless mules and horses, pulling a strange cart without wheels, dressed in shabby clothes, and screaming strangely. It was also said that some bandits and bandits robbed the temple, and the four young novice monks lost their brooms and hurried in to the gate, and went to see Abbot Kong Kong, crying. In the Daxiong Palace, the bells and chimes were ringing, and the cigarettes were lingering. Abbot Kong Kong and a group of monks were doing their homework. When they heard the report from the little novice, Master Kong Kong smashed the wooden fish immediately. The monks, the abbot, the head seat and a group of people rushed to the front yard as if they couldn't wait to see them.

There was a lot of shouting outside the mountain gate, some were hoarse and mad, some were thanking God and Buddha, some were banging on the door, the sound of weeping with joy sounded like a group of demons dancing wildly, it frightened the eminent monk, Master Kong Kong, into a pale face, seeing the chaos of the monks Turning around, as the master of a temple, he had no shirkable responsibilities, so he immediately asked someone to lift up a ladder, twirling a rosary in his hand, and thinking of Amitabha Buddha, he tremblingly climbed up the courtyard wall and peeked out. After all, the old monk was a bit more knowledgeable than the little novice monk. After secretly watching for a while, he felt that these people outside did not look like bandits. Now he had the courage to ask and found out that they were the Bazhou Ding family who were transporting grain and grass to Guangyuan.Only then did Monk Kong Kong order someone to open the mountain gate and welcome them in.

The courtesy in front of the abbot is undeniable, Ding Yuluo finally met people near Guangyuan, and she had a lot to ask, so she did not dare to break the etiquette at this time, she restrained her temper and followed the abbot into the Daxiong Palace first, and she finished paying homage to the Buddha and offering incense. Then he hurriedly said: "Master Kong Kong, I don't know if there is a master who is proficient in medical skills in your temple. Steward Ding of my team has suffered from wind and cold and has a high fever. Now he is very critical. If he is not treated as soon as possible, his life may be in danger."

There are many medical monks in the Buddhist temple, Kongkong heard the words and hurriedly said: "My brother Kongjian is good at medicine, the female benefactor can carry the disease into the guest room for him to diagnose and treat."After finishing speaking, he turned to the Zhike monk and said, "Kong Wen, hurry up and call your brother Kong Jian, and go to the guest room to treat him." Kong Wen went away in response, and Ding Yuluo said gratefully: "Thank you, master, for your kindness."My Ding's caravan encountered heavy snow on the road, and I was very embarrassed. It is really a manifestation of the Buddha to be able to arrive at Puji Temple today.There are thousands of taels of silver bills, which are the funds of sesame oil donated by believers. Please accept it with a smile.

Master Kong Kong is indeed a great virtuous monk, probably because the donations of sesame oil from wealthy families are usually not small, since it has been hard to find water in the sea, when he heard that Ding Yuluo donated a thousand taels of sesame oil, he still looked calm and calm, and he just clasped his hands together, faintly Thanks a lot, the demeanor of a Youdao eminent monk was completely revealed, and a disciple in front of him stepped forward to accept him for him. Seeing the banknotes falling into his pocket, Master Kongkong's expression became more benevolent, he smiled slightly and said: "Female benefactor, please go to the meditation room and have a chat with tea, Junior Brother Kongzhi, you go and settle down the Ding family's convoy."

Because Ding Yuluo was generous, the abbot received her in person, and because she was a female guest, in order to avoid suspicion, when the abbot asked her to talk in the Zen room, he invited the head of Puji Temple, Kongxing, and brought two young monks each. We went to sit in the meditation hall together. As soon as a cup of steaming tea was delivered to her desk, Ding Yuluo couldn't wait to ask, "Master, this time, Xinv transported food from Bazhou to Guangyuan, but it was delayed for a few days because of robbers and heavy snowfall." I just arrived here. I heard that the northerners invaded our border this winter and caused great disasters. I don't know how the situation in Guangyuan City is now?

When Ding Yuluo asked this, his heart hung high, for fear of hearing some bad news.Puji Temple is very close to Guangyuan. If Guangyuan fell, Puji Temple would not be as peaceful as it is now. Based on this speculation, Ding Yu expected that the current situation in Guangyuan would not be too bad, but even if the Guangyuan army did not lose the city, If they suffer a few defeats, they will not blame the Ding family in order to shirk their responsibilities. They are officials and they are citizens. At that time, if they want to write a letter to defend themselves, they may not have a chance. How can they not be afraid in their hearts. Unexpectedly, Master Kongkong was slightly surprised when he heard this, and even Nianxu smiled.Ding Yuluo was surprised and said: Master? The head of the Puji Temple, Kong Zhi, laughed, clasped his hands together and said: "When did you hear the news about the female benefactor?"Yes, this winter is dry and cold, and the northerners are helpless in terms of food, clothing, and rice. They have indeed invaded the border on a large scale, and took away our money and people.Fortunately, the northerners were in civil turmoil, and the bandits who disturbed the frontier all retreated seven days ago. Hearing this, Ding Yuluo burst into ecstasy, and then all the strength in his body seemed to be sucked away. He sat there silently for a long time, feeling so tired that he didn't even want to move a finger. Seeing her appearance, Kongzhi thought she was inexplicably surprised, so he explained: Northern Emperor Yelv Shulumen was addicted to wine and murderous, licentious and immoral, so he was captured by ministers Xiao Siwen, Yi Libi, Yaris, etc. during the winter hunting. The people sent the patriarch Sinugu to hide the sharp blade and enter the account to assassinate.Now, in order to fight for the emperor, the chiefs of various tribes in the other country have assembled their troops, and who has the heart to go south. Thank you, thank you, master, for letting me know.Before Ding Yuluo could finish his sentence, hot tears were streaming down his face, but this time, they were tears of infinite joy. In front of the Hall of Merit and Virtue, a radiant little bald man dragged a big broom, looked at Monk Kongjian who was hurrying away, and asked a monk in amazement: Master Xuanzhao, why is it so lively ahead? The great monk said: "Ding's grain team just passed by here, it's none of your business, just clean the hall well."Bi Su, if you continue to be lazy like this, the abbot will not tolerate you even if you have time to hear your uncle show mercy. Yes, Bisu, as handsome as a little nun, sent off Monk Xuanzhao with a nod and bowed his head, rolled his eyes, and muttered to himself: "It's them again, they came quickly, the huge food team has gone through so much again." Big snow, it's really difficult for them, it seems that those ruffian police officers didn't make it difficult for them, hey!If it wasn't for the uncle having other goals in Puji Temple this time, he would have to tease you some more. After Bisu finished speaking, he picked up the broom and flashed into the hall
