Just yesterday afternoon, Yan Yu was still playing with Lin Ning in Qingyuan Prefecture, when a heavy downpour hit Tai Lake, causing a landslide and blocking the mountain roads.
This morning, the government office sent a construction team over, and they finally managed to restore the blocked mountain roads to normal. The monks then collectively left the temple, intending to clear the remaining mud and debris on the road to prevent visiting pilgrims from slipping when the temple reopened tomorrow.
The reason Master Cinyin did not leave with them was not because he was too old, but because his Buddhist certification was not affiliated with this temple, but rather with Jiangtian Zen Temple in the province; in other words, he was like a visiting professor at a university, here for research and lectures, hence it was inappropriate to ask him to do physical labor.
