Chapter 296 However, everyone has their own destiny
The ancient Anning Temple was pretty much what they had imagined, with the stereotypical yellow walls and tiled roofs.
The entrance is quite large and tall, seemingly blocking half the sky.
There are two slightly smaller side doors on both sides of the main gate, but now only the main gate is open.
The door made of mahogany was very heavy and even in the wind it stayed on both sides without moving.
The entrance is equivalent to a vestibule, with only a huge incense burner besides the fallen leaves on the ground.
But there was nothing inside, only a thin layer of rainwater and a few pieces of moss.
It seems that the incense is really not that good.
Walking up the steps and entering the gate, you can see the front yard.
There are several tall ginkgo trees planted in the yard, with a few red ribbons sparsely floating on them, and it seems that there is nothing written on them.
Looking to the left and right, it looks like a side hall where gods are enshrined.
All you can see is a Buddha statue on the altar through the open door, but you can't see exactly what kind of Buddha statue it is while standing in the yard.
You can see that there are three cushions in front of each altar.
But those cushions looked like they had been used for many years and were gray and as desolate as this temple.
As for the main hall, it is quite majestic, with three Buddha statues placed in the middle.
In the front, there are rows of futons.
Some of them looked quite dented, probably because they were frequently used by monks in the temple.
Before they reached the main hall, they saw two monks walking in the corridor between the main hall and the side hall.
He was wearing a grey robe, had a shaved head, and looked listless.
When he looked up and saw someone, he seemed to be stunned for a moment.
But he quickly regained his composure, nodded implicitly to a few people, walked into the main hall, and knelt down on the two cushions in the front.
The two of them seemed to be talking about something with their heads together, but no one could hear it clearly.
Pei Yan tilted his head and looked at Gu Chaoxi.
She naturally knew what Pei Yan wanted to say, but she just tilted her head slightly and smiled at him.
What the two monks said wasn't anything very interesting, they were just lamenting that there were still people coming to the temple.
A few people looked around and walked towards the place where the two monks had just left.
Going around the entire hall, there are several smaller side halls at the back. Although some gods are enshrined in them, they are obviously not as grand as the front ones.
If you go around a little further, you can see a square pool with some red silk hanging on the stone railings around the pool.
There wasn't much in the pool, and it didn't look very clear.
Gu Chaoxi looked around and the circle here looked more like a Zen room, or maybe it was a place where monks usually practiced and meditated.
Because the ancient Anning Temple is close to the mountain behind, part of the terrain is relatively high.
She turned her head to look at the mountainside. There were so many densely packed trees on it that she couldn't see what was inside.
Qin Wei looked towards the corridor on one side. The corridor extended back towards the middle of the two rooms, and seemed to be an expanded road.
She raised her finger and before she could say anything, she saw a monk in a yellow robe walking out.
Seeing the four of them standing in the yard, he was stunned for a moment.
"Sorry, that's our dormitory, tourists are not allowed to go there."
"Ok."
Pei Yan nodded, and the monk bowed politely.
but......
"Hello, are you the host here?"
Gu Chaoxi called out to him.
The yellow-robed monk turned his head, holding a Buddhist rosary in one hand in front of him, and seemed not surprised by her question.
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't be of any help to you."
Gu Chaoxi did not expect to be rejected in this way in advance.
But his refusal also explains something, that is, something is indeed happening here.
Seeing the yellow-robed monk walking towards the yard in front, the few people just watched him go.
When his figure disappeared completely, Gu Chaoxi looked around again.
Every temple here is cleaned very cleanly, but also very simple.
There were almost no special offerings in front of the altar, just a plate of apples.
The small incense burner on the altar is filled with three thin incense sticks.
I think I ordered it very early, and now only a small piece is left.
The fallen incense ashes just lie quietly in the incense burner.
She walked towards the room facing the front hall, where the Maitreya Buddha was.
It is strange that the gods and Buddhas enshrined here do not seem to have any particular pattern for visiting, it is more like the statues are placed in a random position.
"I guess we can't find anything here. Let's go up the mountain and have a look."
Gu Chaoxi looked up at the mountain behind him. It didn't seem very high, but it looked as if it was about to fall down on him.
"Ah."
A few people slowly walked around from the other side to the front. At this time, there were a few more monks meditating in the main hall, and the monk in the yellow robe was kneeling at the front.
After listening to them chanting for a while, several people turned around and walked out of the temple.
I had just walked out of the door and down the stairs when someone came hurriedly behind me.
Looking back, I saw a monk who looked relatively young.
His skin is a little dark, but his eyes are bright.
"Sorry to bother you, but Master said you'd better not go to the mountain behind."
He was just speaking for them, and after he finished speaking, he clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to the few people.
Gu Chaoxi smiled and said, "Does your master have anything else to say?"
"No more." The little monk shook his head.
That’s right. It is said that monks do not tell lies. It would be terrible if what he said turned out to be false.
But I am still very grateful for the old monk’s reminder.
She waved her hand and spoke to the little monk.
"Go back and tell your master to thank him for his kindness, but everyone has their own destiny."
After saying that, she turned around and went back, never looking back.
"let's go."
Many times, they have long lost the right to stay out of it.
Considering the problems that occurred in the previous video of the expedition team, Qin Wei felt that they should each buy a flashlight to carry with them.
If there is no signal on the mountain and it is night, it will be very disadvantageous for them.
I bought some gloves and also took several sleeping bags.
If something really happened that forced them to stay on the mountain at night, at least they would have a place to sleep.
After packing up, everyone carried a backpack and set off towards the mountain behind the ancient Anning Temple.
"You won't run into a ghost in broad daylight, will you?"
Qin Wei wasn't really worried, she just asked casually.
Pei Yan shook his head: "Probably not."
If the ghost wall appeared during the day, it would actually be very obvious. In the video, it was at night, so the expedition team did not notice it.
Or perhaps, the expedition team didn't believe in ghosts or gods at all, so they just thought they were lost.
