Sure enough, not long after, the young novice monk came back again and said: "My master said that the two guests are so generous. He will personally accompany you to dinner in the evening and introduce you to the surrounding situation to make it easier for you to walk."

Di Lin said: "That's better this way. Thank you for your help, master. If you pass here safely, after the trade is completed, I will come back and donate some incense fees."

The little novice monk continued: "Come with me. Master is treating you to a meal in the dining hall."

The little novice monk held a lamp and led him through a courtyard and several sections of corridors.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and there were thick black shadows everywhere. When walking through the Arhat Hall, the four King Kongs, tall clay sculptures of golden bodies, with angry eyes and holding swords, halberds, axes, and axes looked quite scary.

Yuan Wense unconsciously leaned closer to Di Lin. Di Lin smiled, "It's just a piece of clay, and it comes out of the darkness to scare people?"

Finally, when he saw ahead, he saw a hall hidden in the darkness, with light shining through the window lattice with carved "swastika" characters. The young novice said, "This is it."

Then he shouted to the inside: "Master, the guests have already arrived."

An old monk's voice came from inside: "Bring them in."

The little novice monk led Di Lin and Yuan Wense into the hall. A square table was placed in the middle of the hall. Candles were placed on the walls around it, illuminating the inside quite brightly. An old monk looked like he was sixty or seventy years old.

, his beard and hair have turned white, and he is in good spirits.

Seeing Di Lin and Yuan Wense, the old monk looked happy, said some kind words repeatedly, and then ordered the young novice monk to bring the meal.

Yuan Wense and Di Lin unloaded their packages and placed them on the table next to them. The packages were bulging and had the shape of some silver. The old monk's eyes wandered over them from time to time.

The young novice's meal was served quickly. Since it was in a temple, it was basically all vegetarian food without any meat.

The old monk said some words of apology and asked about their origins and whereabouts.

Di Lin and Yuan Wense only said that they were doing business and wanted to pass here and asked for directions.

The old monk said: "This is called Tianlong Mountain. Legend has it that there is a huge mythical beast called Tianlong in the mountain. Tianlong has been dormant in the mountain to practice. He only comes out to enjoy food occasionally on full moon nights. He enjoys the food offered by other beasts as tribute. Others

There are countless kinds of strange beasts of all kinds.”

"If you really want to pass through this Tianlong Mountain, there is a Chuanlong River five miles west of the temple. The Chuanlong River runs through the entire Tianlong Mountain. If you can keep walking along the Chuanlong River, you will be able to walk out.

Tianlong Mountain, if you walk from other places, the mountains are full of trees.

It is dense and the direction is unclear. It is very likely that you will get lost or encounter a strange beast or be eaten. Even if you walk along the Chuanlong River, it is not very safe, but at least you are in the right direction." The old monk said, looking from time to time from the original text.

Se glanced over, and there was something unhealthy in his eyes.

After finishing the meal quickly, the young novice came over to report that the resting room had been cleaned. Because Di Lin and Yuan Wense were a boy and a girl, he had prepared two wing rooms.

Di Lin and Yuan Wense said some words of thanks, and then came to the wing room prepared for them by the young novice monk. The room was somewhat clean. After the young novice monk left, Di Lin said: "There seems to be some problems with this temple. It is best at night."

Be more alert."
