"How could your master know that we are coming?" Zhao Jiyou looked at the little monk in surprise, then turned his head and asked me in confusion: "Have you been here before?"

The little monk clasped his hands and laughed softly: "Last night, when the master was reading the scriptures in the middle of the night, when he left the temple to rest, the moon was falling, the eaves were tilted under his feet. The master said that an old friend was coming here to visit him on the day and asked me to get up early to open the door. I thought for a long time, but I didn't expect that the person who came was you."

"It seems that his master is also a master." Zhao Jiyou said with a smacking tongue.

I asked the little monk with a smile: "Can the host get up now?"

"The master read the scriptures until midnight last night and is still asleep." The little monk replied honestly.

I nodded politely and said, "Then we both wait outside the door now. It's not too late to wait until the host wakes up and goes in. So as not to disturb the host's rest."

"Please give me a gift, donor." The little monk folded his hands and bent over slightly, turned around and walked into the temple with a smile.

After the little monk left, Zhao Jiyou looked at me blankly: "Why don't you go in and wait?"

"What does it look like if we ask others for help? Just wait here." I said calmly and calmly.

Although Zhao Jiyou was a little helpless, he still stood with me and waited quietly outside the door.

During this period, he asked me how I knew about this place. I didn't want to mention Jiang Bing, and the answer was a little vague.

Seeing that I was like this, Zhao Jiyou should have guessed the reason and stood aside and stopped talking.

We watched the dew on the weeds outside the temple evaporate dry, and we watched the sun slowly rise from the east. In the blink of an eye, nearly four or five hours had passed, and the door of the temple was still closed, and the temple's host seemed to have not woken up yet.

Zhao Jiyou was impatient and had not seen any results after waiting for so long. He yelled to go in and take a look, but I was stopped.

"We came here to retrieve the Buddhist teachings of Tanta Ksitigarbha throughout his life. If we don't have this level of endurance, we should go home as soon as possible."

Zhao Jiyou said dissatisfiedly: "There are more than one temple dedicated to Tanta Ksitigarbha. I think the host inside intends to put on airs. If we don't leave us here, can't we go to other places?"

"It's better to wait here quietly than toss and go back and forth." I glanced at Zhao Jiyou and asked him to be calm. How could the host be a Buddhist practitioner intentionally teased us?

Zhao Jiyou couldn't tell me, so he walked to the side and sat on the rock and said weakly: "It's you who took back the magic power of Tanta Ksitigarbha Buddhism and not me, so you should stand."

I smiled without caring and continued to stand outside the door motionless.

From the scorching sun at noon to the sunset at night, we had been standing outside the temple for a day without realizing it. The wooden door has been closed since the young monk left, and it is still the case until now.

Seeing that it was getting dark and the host still hadn't come out, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"I think the host is just trying to play with you." Zhao Jiyou sneered when he saw me lowering his head and spitting out the grassroots in his mouth.

I shook my head helplessly and said, "What if I listen to you and go to other temples, the hosts of other temples will deliberately play tricks on us? Since the hosts do not open the door today, I will come back tomorrow."

"Are you considered stubborn?" Zhao Jiyou said with a blank look.

I looked at the wooden door of the temple with a wry smile. Just as I was about to move my steps to return to Wannianling with Zhao Jiyou, the door of the temple was suddenly opened.

I thought the host would be the host, so I quickly turned around and saw the little monk holding a broom.

The little monk looked at me with a little surprised: "Why haven't you left yet?"

He was innocent, as if he thought we had never waited for the host and had already left.

"We came from afar because we had something to ask for the host. How could we leave if we couldn't come out?" I said powerlessly.

Zhao Jiyou held it in one day, and saw the little monk unable to help but shout, "Since your master knows that we are coming to find him, why did he stay closed?"

"The master stayed in his door and didn't go out all day today, and I don't know what the master thought." The little monk shook his head innocently.

Zhao Jiyou waved his hand and said, "Go and knock on your master's door and ask what your master means."

I quickly pulled Zhao Jiyou and told him not to be rude.

After waiting for a day, he was already irritable, so it was understandable that Zhao Jiyou said such words. Seeing that I stopped him, he shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"The master has given me some advice in the past, and he won't let me disturb me when he is resting." The little monk shook his head and said.

I pondered for a while, folded my hands politely, and replied, "Then we two won't bother you now, we will come again tomorrow. If your master goes out, please let me know."

"Don't worry, don't worry, don't you." The little monk nodded.

Zhao Jiyou and I left the temple and returned to Anyong Village. We went to see the village chief and told him that we might have to live here for a day or two. The village chief was very happy to arrange a residence for us at Anyong Village Primary School, and told us that we would have to send three meals a day to the school cafeteria to us.

After resting on Wannianling for a night, Zhao Jiyou and I arrived outside the temple early and waited quietly.

Not long after, the little monk came to open the temple gate to clean up the fallen leaves and dust outside the temple.

When he saw us, the little monk shook his head helplessly and told us: "The master didn't come out last night. If Shi Zhong has anything to do, please tell me. When the master comes out, I will tell you."

The matter of Tantuo Ksitigarbha is very small. The young monk in front of us is young, so we can't tell him so much, so we can only smile bitterly and say, "Let's wait and see."

Seeing that we were reluctant to say it, the little monk did not insist. After quickly cleaning the fallen leaves and dust outside the temple, he turned around and returned to the temple. Before leaving, he closed the door.

Zhao Jiyou and I looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Zhao Jiyou had already thought of failure after yesterday's incident. After the little monk left, he sat on the rock beside him and boredly fiddled with the Six Paths in his hand.

I continued to stand quietly outside the temple and wait calmly.

While waiting, time passed very slowly. Zhao Jiyou and I were almost inseparable from the temple gate, but when the sun sets again, the temple gate was still not opened.

The little monk came out to clean the temple as usual. When he saw us, he no longer talked to us, but just sighed helplessly.

After waiting for the little monk to leave, Zhao Jiyou and I also got up and left the temple and returned to Wannianling.

When we returned to Wannianling, the village chief had already sent someone to send supper. Zhao Jiyou and I were hungry and we were already hungry. After eating the supper voraciously, we didn't say much, and fell asleep in a daze on the bed.

The next morning, Zhao Jiyou and I came outside the temple early as usual.

When the young monk who went out to clean us saw us, he said with some amusement and silence: "Please please come back for the two donors. The master may be willing to not want to see you two."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Jiyou asked for a moment of frightening.

The little monk hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "The master has been staying in his door these days. When I put the porridge and food outside the door, I always turn into empty bowls when I wait to clean up the dishes. Isn't the master understand that he doesn't want to see you two?"

After saying that, the monk shook his head and cleaned the temple, turned around and walked into the temple.

"You also said that this monk was not deliberately playing with you. If he hadn't deliberately playing with you, why did he stay in the door even though he knew you were here?" Zhao Jiyou glanced at me and said.

I lowered my head and pondered, without saying anything.

In my impression, the host is not like this. If he knew that I would stay away from him?

Is there another reason here?

"Do you find it strange?" I turned around and asked Zhao Jiyou.

Zhao Jiyou spread his hands and said, "What's strange? What's the strange thing?"

"The host knew we would come the night before we came, and he also told the young monk to let him come out to pick us up. But in the end he stayed in the door...Don't you find it strange?"

"I thought it was strange!"

Zhao Jiyou was angry and gritted his teeth and said, "He is obviously playing tricks on you!"

"..." I was too lazy to pay attention to Zhao Jiyou, and then I suddenly realized it when I looked at the temple gate in front of me.

I said with a dizzy look: "I understand...I understand the purpose of the host."

"Do you understand? What do you understand?" Zhao Jiyou frowned at me.

I smiled bitterly and said, "We have been waiting for these three days in vain. We have been doing this all the time."

"I've been doing this all the time?" Zhao Jiyou asked me in confusion: "What does this mean? Shouldn't we wait for it?"

"Don't wait!"

I smiled slightly, walked forward two steps, then reached out and pushed open the temple door.

Zhao Jiyou was slightly stunned by my actions, not understanding what I meant.

"What is this place to worship?" I looked back at Zhao Jiyou and asked.

Zhao Jiyou blurted out without thinking: "The place where Tanta Ksitigarbha is dedicated to Ksitigarbha."

"Who am I?" I continued to ask.

"You...you are accurate." Zhao Jiyou hesitated and replied.

"wrong!"

I stretched out my hands, slowly closed my legs, then stepped forward and walked into the temple.

"From the moment I was reborn, I was no longer accurate, I was the reincarnation of Tanta Ksitigarbha!"

I smiled with great confidence: "This temple is dedicated to me, but I have to wait outside for three days. How ridiculous?"

"That's why I said... we have been trying to do this forever. We shouldn't have let us wait in these three days!"

Zhao Jiyou looked at me in shock, and from his eyes I saw strangers, as if I am not the one he knew before.

In fact, I felt that I became more and more taciturn, and everything in the world became more and more invisible.
