Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 180 Monk’s Zen Room

It was already very late, and they had to go back and rest for a while before they had to set off again early the next morning.

Naitang led them down the mountain, but as they walked, they heard the sound of bells.

Zhao Qiaoniang was stunned and asked, "How can we hear the sound of a bell here?"

Mulan thought for a moment and said, "It should be the sound of the temple bell."

"Yes, there is a temple in front, right? Why don't we go to the temple to pray for blessings?" said Aunt Tao, Lin Datou's wife.

Zhao Qiaoniang frowned and said, "This isn't good! Let's go back early!"

Aunt Tao sighed and said:

"It's just a few steps away, right? Let's go to the temple and take a look around.

I don’t know when this disaster year will end, so I just want to pray to the Buddha and ask him to bless us.”

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at the other women. The wives of the hunters all wanted to go, so a group of people walked towards the temple.

They listened to the Buddhist chanting in the temple, and their hearts were extremely peaceful. Aunt Tao smiled and said:

"My mother's family used to live next to a temple, and I could often hear the sound of Buddhist chanting from the temple.

Every time I hear this sound, I feel very comfortable.”

Just as they were about to speak, Naitang suddenly squeaked, and Zhao Qiaoniang quickly followed it to the back of a big tree.

Then someone's voice was heard:

“I just went to the mountains for a walk, and I didn’t expect to meet so many women.

Look at how they look, they're pretty good, but they smell a bit."

"Hey! There are some that look very delicate, but their bodies are all bones. If they were like this one, with more meat, it would be interesting."

"Hahaha... I think mine is pretty good. I look like I'm only in my teens. Oh my! I'm so greedy."

These people directly dragged dozens of women towards this side. Zhao Qiaoniang took a look and found that these women were the ones brought up the mountain by Wang Qiuju.

In the dim temple courtyard, dozens of women huddled together, their lips trembling as they pleaded desperately to the man in monk robes in front of them: "Master, please let us go! Wuuwuwu..."

Someone looked at them and laughed, "Why should we let you go?"

Wang Qiuju looked at them and said:

"Aren't you monks? Aren't you compassionate? Master, please let us down the mountain.

We... I can find you a more beautiful woman. There are more beautiful women in our village."

The monks laughed heartily, and the leading monk said:

"Do you really think we're monks just because we live in a temple? Hahahaha...

Let me tell you, we don’t believe in Buddhism…

Since you are here today, it would be unreasonable for us not to enjoy ourselves..."

"No...I have a man, please let me go!"

"I have a man too, wuwuwu..." A woman begged desperately, but how could these monks let them go?

Zhao Qiaoniang, Mulan and Cui Ya were hiding in the trees and shivering. These people didn't even bring them into the room, but started hugging them directly in the yard.

Some women couldn't bear it for a moment and cried, "My husband is dead, I don't want to live anymore, wuwuwu..."

With a "bang", it crashed straight into the pillar next to it.

The girl next to her cried, "No! Sister-in-law, you beasts, why did you kill my sister-in-law? Wuuuuu..."

One monk slapped her in the face and said, "Cry, cry, cry, why are you crying? She wanted to die herself, what does it have to do with us? Does she think that everything will be alright after she dies?"

An old monk walked out from the side...

Zhao Qiaoniang trembled with fear. Fortunately, they did not rush into the temple today, otherwise Wang Qiuju's fate would be theirs.

Aunt Tao was trembling with fear. Zhao Qiaoniang grabbed her hand and whispered, "Don't be afraid... Don't be afraid..."

This is simply hell on earth. There are a lot of monks in this temple, hundreds of them, appearing one after another.

These are not real monks at all. It is said to be a pure land of Buddhism, but this place is even more terrifying than the place below the mountain.

Naitang squeaked a few times, signaling them to follow her hand. Zhao Qiaoniang slowly climbed down the tree and led everyone to follow Naitang towards the backyard of the temple.

Zhao Qiaoniang's legs were trembling. These people were wearing monk robes, but what they did was worse than that of animals.

Naitang doesn't understand all this. He is very busy now. Hundreds of his brothers are running around in the temple just to find out the news.

Soon they were led by Naitang into a Zen room. The living room outside was decorated with ordinary Buddhist meaning and elegance, but it was simple and plain.

There was a Buddhist calligraphy with vigorous brushstrokes hanging on the wall, and nothing else.

But when you look past the carved wooden door that separates the inside and outside, the scene inside the house is jaw-dropping.

Zhao Qiaoniang was incredulous and asked, "How could this be a monk's meditation room?"

This monk's meditation room has two heavy sandalwood doors at the entrance, which are intricately carved with many Buddhist scenes. The human figures are lifelike, and the flowers, birds, fish and insects are also lively and realistic. Every line shows the craftsman's superb skills.

The door handle is made of pure gold and inlaid with several pigeon egg-sized gems, red and blue interlaced, dazzling.

The indoor floors are all paved with white marble. Each piece of jade has been carefully polished, with regular sizes and seamless joints. The stone surface is smooth and has a warm luster.

In the center stood a huge round low couch, the surface of which was woven with the finest silk, silky and soft, and was inlaid with a thumb-thick gold chain around the edge.

A small jade pendant hangs on the gold chain. When the breeze blows, the jade pendant sways gently and collides with each other, making a crisp sound.

How could Zhao Qiaoniang have encountered such a scene?

"Squeak, squeak, squeak," Naitang kept urging her, and Zhao Qiaoniang finally reacted, and the others also woke up as if from a dream.

What are they here for?

Of course she came to get things. Zhao Qiaoniang poured out all the mushrooms in the basket and also threw away all the wild vegetables.

She fell directly onto the bed, her eyes instantly attracted by the boxes of exquisite things. She walked forward as if she had found a treasure and put the boxes one by one into the backpack.

The backpack was full after loading three or four boxes. Seeing this, Mulan and Cui Ya hurried forward to help. While the three of them were busy, the people around them also took action.

Aunt Tao walked straight to the pile of grain and put the grain into the backpack. In her opinion, food and quilts were the most precious treasures.

After filling the box, Zhao Qiaoniang glanced at the dazzling array of books beside her. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Tian's eldest daughter-in-law, put all these books away, as well as the paper, ink, brush, and inkstone..."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Tian family nodded quickly, quickly sorted out all kinds of books and papers, put them into the backpack, and carefully wrapped up the neatly arranged pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

I wanted to get some more things, but I heard the mice outside squeaking non-stop, and Toffee kept waving at them...
