Chapter 92: The Bonding Conference
After two days and one night, we finally arrived at Gaoshan Temple.
There were already many cars parked in front of the temple, most of them were luxury cars.
It seems that those who attend the affinity conference are all important people, and they have already arrived a long time ago.
According to the time of the affinity meeting, it should start tomorrow. Fortunately, we saw Mingyan on the way and we finally arrived.
There are two little monks at the door, they are responsible for reception.
As soon as he saw our car, he immediately waved for us to find a place to stop.
I was not in a hurry to stop the car. I leaned out and said to the young monk, "Young master, there is a fellow passenger in our car who was bitten by a poisonous snake. Can you treat him? Can you find someone to take a look?"
When one of the young monks heard this, his face turned green: "Donors, please wait a moment, I will inform the master immediately."
Another young monk, named Xiao Cong, explained to us.
"The snakes on this mountain are all very poisonous, but they generally won't bite people. How did you get into trouble?"
When Xiao Cong asked this question, we all looked at Ming Yan.
"My car broke down, so I had to walk up the mountain. I didn't prepare any food for the trip, and I was really hungry, so I planned to get some wild vegetables. But then a snake rushed out and bit my foot. I really didn't provoke it, and this snake was strange. After biting me, I didn't feel any pain. Later, when I was walking, I felt my foot go numb, and then I saw that my calf was already black and blue."
Xiao Cong listened, shook his head and said nothing more.
After a while, the abbot arrived.
He was really impressive, wearing a monk's robe, and one could tell at first glance that he was a high monk.
High monks usually have some medical skills. We were not very familiar with Mingyan, so at most we could be kind and send him to the mountain.
Now that a senior monk has taken over, we won’t be involved anymore.
The young monk arranged two rooms for us, one for me and my cousin, and one for Dongjing himself.
We originally thought that everything was ready and that as long as we had a good rest at night, we could attend the connection meeting early tomorrow morning.
But who knew that after dealing with Mingyan’s matter, the monk came towards our room.
At that time, Dong Jing was sitting in our room, and we were talking about the Reincarnation Pearl.
"Master? Why are you here?" When I opened the door and saw that the person coming was a monk, I was still a little confused.
After all, there were so many wealthy people and bosses of listed groups who came to the meeting. Normally, if the monk wanted to find someone to chat with, he would definitely not look for us.
After all, those wealthy people and bosses of listed groups have donated a lot of money to Gaoshan Temple during festivals. After all, this meeting can be regarded as a social event, and the monk should go and chat with them.
"I came here to tell you if this young master is ill?"
The monk came in without answering me, but just looked at me and asked a question.
I was completely stunned.
It turns out that he has some experience. He could tell at a glance that I was sick.
But I didn't answer him.
Because I want to hear what he will say to me next.
"The ancient curse cannot be easily broken, and we may not have what you want. But the fate-making meeting will only start tomorrow, so you can stay here and see. If you come across what you want, you can tell the little monk next to you."
The monk looked at my cousin and then at me, and then said, "I have told the young monks that if you ask them to return the soul bead, they will help you."
After the monk
We don't know what's going on with him.
But there was something wrong with his eyes, but I had no idea what it meant.
The affinity conference started as scheduled.
The venue is in the large square at the entrance.
It was like an open-air temple fair. Fortunately, the weather was good, because if it had rained it might not have been so lively.
There were many stalls in the venue, and everyone was holding all kinds of treasures and placing them on the table for others to buy.
It's like a big flea market.
But of course, most of the stuff here is real, but some people will take advantage of the situation and buy fake stuff at the flea market and sell it here.
Gaoshan Temple only provides a venue. As for what people sell, the abbot will not be involved in any financial transactions.
I followed my cousin around but didn't find the soul-returning bead.
Until now, I am still thinking about the bead I saw at the flea market.
Compared to the beads on this stall, that one looks more reliable.
The sun is shining brightly today. The warm sunshine shines on every stall, and every stall owner is smiling.
"I didn't see the soul-returning bead, but I did see a few beautiful jade hairpins." Dong Jing seemed very excited. Girls all like to go shopping, no matter what kind of street it is.
I smiled and looked at her long, straight, thick black hair. I thought it would look pretty good with the jade hairpin on.
"Is there anything you like? If so, I'll give it to you." I blurted out these words without even thinking.
Dong Jing blushed and gently nudged me with her arm: "You don't have to give it to me, you should buy a set and give it back to Jin Yun. She should know that you came to Gaoshan Temple, it would be bad if you don't bring some souvenirs back."
I curled my lips and said nothing.
I still remember the unpleasantness we had at Jin Yun's house during the Chinese New Year. We haven't had any contact for so many days.
I couldn't bring myself to do that, and I didn't know if she hated me, so slowly I almost forgot about this person.
I am just like this, heartless.
Besides, she and I haven’t confirmed our relationship yet, so there’s no question of whether I should coax her or not.
My cousin was listening to us chatting when he suddenly reached out and pulled me.
"Wen Jie, look!"
I looked in the direction of his finger.
Under the sunlight , a stall owner was holding a black bead and explaining it to the customer in front of him.
The stall was bustling with people, and he was so far away that I couldn't hear what he was saying.
But I could clearly see the black beads, which appeared dark green in the sunlight.
That should be the resurrection bead we are looking for!
No matter what the stall owner said, the customer in front of him remained unmoved.
It is obvious that everyone came here with a purpose.
Some people come for the priceless sword, while others come for the legendary Tianshan Snow Lotus.
And that soul-restoring bead is exactly what I want.
So I ran forward quickly and came to the owner.
"How much is this bead?" I asked the shopkeeper.
Many people passed by his stall, but no one was interested in him. When he heard me ask this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
