The monk had red lips and white teeth, and a feminine appearance. He could not tell the difference between male and female. He looked at Xie Lingjiang in surprise and said:
“Blessings are not blessings, misfortunes are not disasters. How come you can’t escape even after being reincarnated?”
In an instant, the hair all over Xie Lingjiang’s body stood on end, as if he was a frightened cat.
“What’s wrong?” Cheng Jinyang asked curiously, noticing the sudden change in Xie Lingjiang’s expression.
“He…” Xie Ling Jiang just opened his mouth and saw clearly ahead. Where was the shadow of the monk?
It was clearly empty, no one had ever appeared.
Until he arrived at the Admiral’s Mansion and saw Xie Youdu, Xie Lingjiang was still in a state of distraught.
“Then, I’ll leave first.” Cheng Jinyang said with a smile, leaving time for the brother and sister.
After Cheng Jinyang left, Xie Lingjiang looked at his brother in a daze and suddenly blurted out:
“Youdu…”
Then Xie Youdu suddenly felt terrified. At that moment, he seemed to hear his sister’s voice.
However, Xie Lingjiang finally came to his senses and said with a smile:
“Brother Youdu, can you tell me something…”
“…Is it about Sister Taoyuan?”
………………
Cheng Jinyang threw all the floating shopping bags on the big bed in the bedroom.
Let them come back and sort it out themselves.
Then I went to have lunch and went back to the office to finish the remaining work. It was already 3 p.m.
I sent a text message to Cui Xiaoniang again and found out that they were taking a bath in the hot springs on the other side of the mountain.
But Lushan is a full 12 kilometers away from Jingkou, so it’s actually so far away…
Cheng Jinyang didn’t bother to take the subway train, so he took Xiao Lingjiang (to find your sister Wanrou) who was too busy in the house and flew directly to the east.
The Lushan hot spring area was also developed into a well-known tourist attraction in the early years. However, with the fall of Songjiang and the Shenwu Army’s defense line withdrawing to Changzhou Town, most of the local residents of Lushan who were close to the front line fled. Now there are only temples in the mountains. Monks live here.
The hot spring where the girls are located is located within the Da Baoen Temple, which is considered a popular place nearby. After Jingkou developed, Buddhist refugees often went here to offer incense and pray for blessings. It is said that the most prayed for here is “national luck”, followed by “future” and “marriage”.
As the troubled times continue, everyone becomes more patriotic.
When I walked into the gate of Baoen Temple, I saw pilgrims in twos and threes wandering in the courtyard. A young novice stood on the left and rang the bell and shouted:
“The Vajra Demon Clock guards the entrance of Jingkou. If it strikes seven or forty-nine times, it can stop the demons north of the Yangtze River!”
Next to it stood a vertical sign: “Five yuan a knock, bring your own change.”
“Master, ring the bell.” A middle-aged pilgrim came out and paid, then he picked up the mallet and hit the bell with all his strength.
“Okay!” The bell rang loudly, and the surrounding pilgrims cheered.
Cheng Jinyang watched for a while and heard a voice from behind:
“Do you know why you bring your own change?”
Looking back, it turned out to be Lu Qingyun.
“Why?” Cheng Jinyang asked curiously.
“If they could get change, how much do you think most people would pay?” Lu Qingyun said leisurely.
Cheng Jinyang laughed dumbly and asked:
“Why are you here? I thought you all went to the hot springs.”
“I’ve finished soaking a long time ago.” Lu Qingyun pointed at herself, and Cheng Jinyang noticed that her short hair was wet.
“You don’t want to blow dry your hair? It’s too humid and it’s easy to catch the cold.” Cheng Jinyang said.
“That monster said the same thing.” Lu Qingyun replied, “There must be a conspiracy.”
Cheng Jinyang:………………
This girl is hopeless.
“Do you want to ring that bell?” He sighed inwardly and joked, “Maybe it can suppress the demon inside you.”
Lu Qingyun was a little moved when she heard this: “That’s what you said. She said that those who ring this bell are all taken advantage of. I think she might be misleading me on purpose.”
After the pilgrim finished beating the forty-nine times, Lu Qingyun stepped forward and asked the young novice:
“Master, can your vajra demon-suppressing clock suppress the demons that parasitize humans?”
“No.” The little novice’s answer was straightforward.
“Why?” Lu Qingyun was greatly surprised.
“It’s easy to break a mountain, but it’s hard to break a heart.” The little novice monk made a sharp move.
Lu Qingyun sighed, as expected.
“But there is a Bodhidharma Purification Drum at the back, which is specially opened for incense owners who need to purify their hearts. If you knock it ninety-nine and eighty-one times, it may be effective.” The little novice monk turned to look at Cheng Jinyang and said, “One knock only costs 10 Yuan.”
Lu Qingyun:? ? ?
Cheng Jinyang laughed out loud, ignored the little novice monk, and just asked her:
“Are you still knocking?”
“No more knocking.” Lu Qingyun shook her head. Who would take advantage of this!
“There is incense in the back hall, and it’s free.” The young novice monk was not surprised. He sighed, clasped his hands together, and recited Amitabha.
The two of them walked towards the back hall, and Cheng Jinyang asked casually:
“Where are they?”
“I’m asking about marriage in the fortune-telling hall.” Lu Qingyun replied casually.
“Ahem, why are you asking about marriage…” Cheng Jinyang was about to say, “Well, you might as well ask me,” but suddenly realized that this Yunyun was not familiar with him, and he quickly stopped his words.
“What about marriage? Do you know?” Lu Qingyun glanced at him sideways.
“How do I know?” Cheng Jinyang began to act stupid.
“Sand Man,” Lu Qingyun said, “Originally they explained it, but I didn’t know what it meant, but now I have some understanding.”
“What’s the matter for adults? How can we call it scrap…” Cheng Jinyang just quibbled when he saw a monk coming out from behind the Buddha statue in front of him.
The monk had red lips and white teeth, with soft facial features. I don’t know whether he was a boy or a girl. He lowered his head and raised his hands after walking a few steps. Suddenly he looked up at Cheng Jinyang and said:
“Donor, you seem to have a mental block.”
“What’s wrong with me?” Cheng Jinyang was puzzled.
“Of course, only the donor himself knows about the donor’s mental obstacles.” The monk lowered his head and said.
Cheng Jinyang:?
Somehow, Su Lili’s appearance suddenly appeared in his mind.
Ye Ru said that she was trying to intervene in the situation in Shendu to prevent the demons from going south. She didn’t know what was going on now.
Alas, if I had not entered the Cheng family in the capital of the gods and was alone and without worries, I could naturally go find her now.
It’s just that now our family has a big business, Jingkou is in ruins, and the Beifu Army has many affairs. In addition, we can’t find Ye Ru, so we lost contact for a while, which really makes me feel uneasy.
“It seems that the donor has realized enlightenment.” The monk chanted Amitabha again.
“Tell me what I realized?” Cheng Jinyang asked with a smile, “You’re not trying to trick me into beating your 810 yuan drum, are you?”
“The poor monk said that only the donor knows the mental obstacles of the donor. As for the drum, it doesn’t matter whether it is beaten or not.” The monk said tactfully, “All conditioned dharma is like a dream, like a mist, like a mist, like lightning, and it should be like this. Watch.”
“What do you mean?” Cheng Jinyang asked with a frown.
“That’s the original text of the Diamond Sutra.” Lu Qingyun explained from the side, “It means that all things are born and die due to fate, so don’t get hung up on its temporary form.”
“That’s right.” The monk said with a smile, “This female donor is quite intelligent.”
Cheng Jinyang was silent for a moment, wondering what the monk meant, “Whether Xiaoli is a human or a monster, don’t be obsessed with these appearances”?
“All things are born due to fate, and they perish due to fate.” The monk finally said, “The fate between the donor and that person is born, continued or destroyed, it depends on the donor’s next choice. But as the female donor said, fate arises and ends. , don’t be persistent.”
Hearing the four words “origin and destruction”, Cheng Jinyang shuddered and looked intently again. Where was the shadow of the monk?
