Chapter 517 The Rain VVould Always stop
lĩ vvas in a monastery in Evergreen Mountam The abbot received the three oí Lucia, and not long aíter they entered, the sky outside became more and more gloomy, thunder rumbled, and the clouds became lovver Aíter a vvhile, it ramed heavily
Holding hot toa in her hand, Lucia walked to the door and look a look outside, and she said vvornedly, ì vvondcr lí the rain will stop" The three of them discovered It was a monastery when they arrived near the building seen in the middle of the mountam just now. There was a plaque hanging at the gate, which was pretty old. but It was not diííicult to see the íour words on it, "Evergreen Meditation Yard'.
The three of them lirgered at the door for a while, and when they were hesitating vvhether to go n directly, a young monk suddenly walked out of the door. He vvas about five or sixyears old, cute and lovely, He was just a bit timid and deíensive when he looked at tnem. They vvanted to stop the little monk to osk a few words. bul the little monk closed the door, turned around and ran away.
After a while, the door opened again, and a calm and bene»/olent old man in a gray blue robe came out. He greeted them kindly. and even invited them to come in.
Lucia had originally vvanted to go in and take a look, now she had such an opportunity, she naturally did not reíưse She had said with Kylan and Zane that they pretend to be climbers who came to them by accident, and ualked in with the abbot naturally. As soon as they entered, the abbot introduced himselí to them, and then ordered people to bnng tea to entertain them. Aíter chatting íor a few minutes, there was a muííìed thunder outside
Lucia stood at the door, pretending to watch the rain, but kept loóking around to search íor something She never imagmed that there would be an Evergreen Medĩlation Yard in the mountain. If August was really throvvn into the mountain, would the people in the yard have seen him? Thinking of this, Lucia was mexplicably excited
At this moment. Mr. Makoto came over and glanced at the heavy rain outside, as lí he was aừaid that Lucia vvould be worried, so he explained soítly, "The rain in the mountain is like this. It comes and goes quickly, so don‘t worry. You can vvait here for a vvhile. It’s not late to go vvhen the rain stops’
Lucia nodded with a smile, and asked, "Abbot, just now we saw the vvords, Evcrgreen Meditation Yard, vvntten on the plaque outside the door, and there is an Evergreen Temple outside the mountain. I don‘t know lí there is any connection../
Beíore she Cinished speaking, Mr. Makoto understood what she meant, and the old man sighed and said soítly, "To be honest, I was the íormer abbot of Evergreen Temple, but later, Evergreen Temple was in decline. There were no worshippers, and the monks gradually dispersed. I brought the last few people to the monastery in the mountain to cultivate ourselves and live in peace."
Seeing the slightly gloomy expression of the old man, Lucia‘s heart sank. Although it was only the íirst time they met. she could see the old man‘s wisdom, calmness and kindness.
Although Evergreen Meditation Yard was much smaller than the Evergreen Temple, as soon as she walked in. she saw the flowers and plants on both sides, and some vegetables grown by themselves. A íew young monks were chasing and laughing around the kitchen. A hunchbacked old monk was doing carpentry in the yard silently.
This kind of scene was extremely serene and romantic. vvhen people looked at it, their hearts would calm down uoknovvingly. She never imagined that there was such a paradise hidden in such a mountain, which was secret and beautiíul.
Kylan and Zane were both sitting on chairs in the room, and they were taciturn when they came in. They were good at íighting, but they couldn’t lìgure out the way to communicate with people, especially with such extraordinary people, so they just keep silent.
Lucia stood under the eaves with Mr. Makoto. and they had chatted a lot vvithout knowmg It. Slowly, the ram became lighter. Mr Makoto smiled and said in a leisurely manner, ì just said, thiạ rain must stop." These words came out of his mouth was a liltle Zen-style. Lucias heart was much calmer than whenshe íirst came in. Now listening to vvhal hesaid, she was inexplicably thinking deeply. The rain would alvvays stop, and the things In this vvorld would also come to an end.
Lucia curled her lips and smiled, vvatching the rain getting smaller and smaller. She suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Mr. Makoto standmg on the other side and ask, "Abbot, I want to visil the monastery, and is it convenient?"
The abbot nodded shghtly, smiled at her, then stretched oU his hand to summon a young monk. and said soítly, "Garnett. comc here, and take thìa íemale beneíactor to walk around and visit the monastery."
The little monk was about íour or five years old, about the same Đge as Timothy and Janet. He had big eyes, wearing grny black clothes. very cute Lucia was dehghted, and smiled at him. She turned around and explained a íew words to Zane and Kytan. and then walked away with the little monk
Just now she told Zane and Kylan to wait here. It would be inappropriate for three of them to wander around in the yard. so It was enough for her to go alone. to avoid the suspicion.
When chatting with Mr. Makoto just novv, Lucia once asked him insinuatingly if anyone had been here recently. Mr. Makoto denied it, saying that they were rare visitors, and he vvould like to keep them íor a few days. And then he changed the topic.
Now being able to vvalk around, she also wanted to look around and fmd the clues she was looking íorvvard to. "Little íriend, have you been here since you were born?"
The little monk nodded seriously, and said soítly, "Yes."
As Garnett spoke, he led Lucia to the door oí a Buddhist hall, and explained soítly. *This is the main Buddhist hall, and we will all worship Buddha here “
