Chapter 21

After hearing what the little monk said, Yi Xingchen and Tang Xiaoqi looked at each other and were happy, proving that Mei Lengxiang was probably the one who escaped into the temple last night.

Yi Xingchen asked: "So has anyone broken in? Have you looked for it?"

"I didn't find anyone coming in. There were night patrolers in our temple and said I didn't see anyone coming in."

"Do your night patrol masters know martial arts?"

The little monk smiled: "If you know a few tricks of martial arts, you can practice Buddhism and practice Buddhism all the time. Where can you practice martial arts?"

When he heard this, Yi Xingchen and Tang Xiaoqi looked at each other again, thinking to themselves that since Mei Lengxiang is very skilled in martial arts and the monk who is patrolling the night is not very good, it should not be difficult to avoid him, so Mei Lengxiang is likely to be hiding in the temple. As for why she has not left, it may be because she is worried that the strong enemy is still nearby and she dare not leave, or because she is seriously injured and unable to leave. If it is the latter, it will be dangerous.

Yi Xingchen asked: "Who is the mansion at the foot of the mountain?"

"The owner of the mansion was named Li, and he didn't know his name, but he just called him Duke Li. He never came to our Bodhi Temple. I heard that there was a Taoist temple in his house, and he believed in Taoism."

Tang Xiaoqi was anxious and urged the young monk to take them to worship Buddha everywhere.

The little monk quickly took them to visit the halls one by one. The little monk was not old and didn't know much, but Tang Xiaoqi kept asking questions. He often couldn't answer them, and he was embarrassed with a blushing face.

Tang Xiaoqi asked him a question, but it only involved his attention so that Yi Xingchen could observe the Bodhisattva sculpture back and forth to see if there were any signs of plum Lengxiang hiding.

Although this temple covers a wide area, they only search around the clay Buddha and earthen buildings. Not every place is searched in detail, so the speed is relatively fast. In less than an hour, they visited them all, but there was no sign that Mei Lengxiang was hiding inside.

After all the shopping, Tang Xiaoqi looked at Yi Xingchen, and Yi Xingchen also looked at her, and the two looked at each other.

The little monk said, "Two donors, I will take two of you to the front main hall to sing incense and rejoice in donating charity?"

Tang Xiaoqi nodded and said, "Okay, but I'm a little thirsty now. Can you bring me a bowl of water first? We are tired from walking, so we're here to rest for a while and sit here and wait for you."

The little monk quickly agreed and ran to get the water.

Seeing him turning around the corner, Tang Xiaoqi quickly grabbed Yi Xingchen and pulled him out of the temple.

Yi Xingchen hurriedly said, "Wait, don't run away."

"If you don't run away, the little monk is here. Do you have money to give him? I gave him all the money I had. That was the one I didn't want to spend on me yesterday to buy candy for me during the Zhonghe Festival. I couldn't bear to spend it."

Yi Xingchen said: "I know where to find Sister Meizi."

When Tang Xiaoqi heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed. She quickly stopped and turned around and asked, "Where can I find it?"

“Low houses or warehouses in the southwest direction of the temple.”

"How do you know?"

"It's said on the hexagram."

"Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

"Didn't I just woke up?"

Yi Xingchen has indeed figured out this point just now from the hexagram. The hexagram itself cannot speak, has no numbers, and has no prompt words. There are only a few hexagrams and a flashing symbol. He needs to interpret it based on the plum blossom Yi numbers he learned.

The three Kun hexagrams in his mind were flashing, and the three Kun hexagrams were all earth, so he came to a conclusion that the Bodhisattvas made of earth or buildings in the temple went to search for them, but after searching the entire temple, he didn't find anything. He knew that his inference might be wrong.

It’s not that there is a problem with the hexagram itself, but that it’s that the hexagram is wrong.

If it is just a prompt related to earth, there is no need for three hexagrams to flash together. If the three hexagrams flash at the same time, each hexagram should have its own unique meaning. This is how Yi Xingchen understands it now. I don’t know if this understanding is correct now, but he decided to give it a try again from this direction.

The first Kun hexagram should represent the direction. Kun, in the acquired Bagua, represents the southwest direction, so he decided to look for it in the southwest direction of the temple.

As soon as the delay was done, the little monk had already brought a bowl of water. Seeing that they had turned to another corner, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Female donor, the water is coming, why did you run there? Didn't you say you were waiting for me here, drink water quickly."

Tang Xiaoqi rolled her eyes, pretending to be lowering her head and searching for things on the ground, while constantly touching her body: "I lost my jade pendant, I don't know where it was."

The little monk was shocked and quickly placed the water bowl on the steps of the temple next to him, lowered his head and helped him find it on the ground and said, "The jade pendant? What kind of jade pendant? When was it lost? Where was it?"

"How do I know? Do I want to know where I am thrown, but it is called thrown?" Tang Xiaoqi replied angrily, and then stood in the look of meditating and thinking hard. After a moment, she slapped her forehead and said, "I remember, when we were shopping in the southwest corner, I had played with the jade pendant in my hand, and then it disappeared. Where should it be thrown, let's go to the southwest corner to find it."

When the little monk heard Tang Xiaoqi say that losing the jade pendant was amazing. The donor lost something in the temple. It was not nice to spread. He was also very anxious. Now, when he heard Tang Xiaoqi say this, he hurriedly said: "Then let's go and find it!"

The three of them looked along the southwest corner of the temple.

Tang Xiaoqi also pretended to look around on the ground, but Yi Xingchen took this opportunity to search everywhere. At the same time, he combined the hexagrams in his mind to further determine the specific location of Mei Lengxiang's possible hiding place.

The halls worshiping Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats are all tall buildings, so they are not low houses that are prompted by the hexagrams in their minds. Finally, they saw a small courtyard separated by mud walls in the southwest corner of the temple. When they came close, they saw several low wooden houses inside. Because it was all made of wood, when they looked for it just now, they did not go in to look for it.

Kun hexagram means low houses and warehouses for houses. Does the second Kun hexagram mean this? Is Mei Lengxiang hiding here?

Yi Xingchen asked the little monk, "Where is this place?"

“This is the yard where our temples pile up firewood and debris.”

"Can I go in and take a look?"

"There is nothing to see inside, it's just some miscellaneous items and firewood. There are also a few chores working in temples."

Yi Xingchen pretended to be disappointed, nodded, and gave a wink at Tang Xiaoqi. Tang Xiaoqi immediately understood and said to the little monk: "By the way, didn't I ask you to pour water for me? What about the water?"

The little monk said, "I brought the water. You said you lost the jade pendant, so I was in a hurry to find it for you and put the water on the platform next to you."

"How do I drink it when you put it there? I'm almost coughing. Didn't you see that my throat was smoking? Why don't you work hard for me to bring it to me?"

The little monk hurriedly said, "There is water in the janitor room in the backyard where the miscellaneous items are placed. Let's go in and I'll scoop a bowl of water for you to drink."

This was the result that Tang Xiaoqi and Yi Xingchen wanted. They quickly followed the little monk into the yard. The yard was not big and full of firewood. A few bald servants wearing yellow shirts were chopping firewood there, joking loudly. Seeing them coming in, they looked up at them, especially at the petite, cute and youthful Tang Xiaoqi.

Beauties are always the most eye-catching.

The little monk said, "These two donors are thirsty, so they come to ask for a bowl of water to drink."

A servant agreed and quickly went into the house to scoop water. Soon, he brought two glasses of water and gave it to Tang Xiaoqi and Yi Xingchen.

Tang Xiaoqi took the water and said, "Sit for a while. I'm so tired after walking for a long time. You guys are busy with yours, don't worry about us. We'll leave after drinking the water."

Tang Xiaoqi sat on a stool with a water cup and slowly drank water, talking to the little monk and a few servants, of course, to draw their attention away.

Yi Xingchen took the opportunity to look around with a water cup, drinking and looking around.

However, he turned around the small courtyard and found no clues about anyone hiding. Moreover, these servants live here. This place is too small and cannot hide people at all. Is the hexagram in his head not accurate? He felt a little uneasy. [PS:] Thank you for your reward for your book friend: Jingyi 0903 rewarded 100 starting points coins.
