The temples of Sri Lanka treat the pilgrimage of Chinese believers and pilgrims with generosity and respect, and they are upright and peaceful. In particular, this dreadnought mountain temple has an inseparable historical relationship with China.

Fearless Mountain Temple is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Sri Lanka, with more than 5,000 monks and incense. In 409 A.D., the Chinese Jin Dynasty monk Fa Xian once set foot here, and after two years of study, he obtained four Buddhist classics such as "Misha Seru", "Chang Ahan", "Za Ahan" and "Miscellaneous Collection". Fa Xian set out from Chang'an, learned from the west, lasted more than ten years, passed through the Western Regions, Kashmir, Nepal, all of India, Sri Lanka, Sumatra and other places, experienced hardships and hardships, and finally returned to China. Its feat was more than 200 years earlier than the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang, so the Fearless Mountain Temple can be said to have witnessed and opened the history of friendly exchanges between China and Sri Lanka.

Therefore, when Luo Jingye explained his intention in Sinhala, he was immediately greeted by the friendly hospitality of the receiving monks, and first arranged rooms for the four of them to let everyone rest for a while. At six o'clock in the evening, I came to pick up four people to eat in the dining hall, and after the meal, I took everyone to visit the temple briefly, and then sent a few people back to their rooms.

The four of them felt relaxed and happy in the temple, casual and natural, and the meals were also vegetarian, light and delicious. If it weren't for the sad purpose of this visit, I really wanted to spend a few quiet and comfortable days here, the only thing I wasn't used to was that in the temple, shoes were not allowed, and you could only walk barefoot, which made everyone a little awkward.

The guest quarters of the temple are also a separate courtyard, next to the side hall on the right, and separated from the monks' collective quarters. And in the monastery, there are monks of some status and status, and they have their own separate courtyards, which are not large, but they are clean enough.

Chen Xing and Ivan lived alone in the room at the entrance of the courtyard of the guest house, and Manager Wu and Luo Jingye lived in the room in the middle of the courtyard. There is no other activity in the monastery, it is almost 7 o'clock, the sky is already dark, there is no power supply in the monastery, except for the main hall and some side halls are lit with candles, occasionally there is the sound of chanting, and in other rooms, the monks are also sleeping or meditating in the dark, and there is no noise coming.

The four of them chatted briefly in Manager Wu's room about the time to get up early tomorrow, and Chen Xing and Ivan went back to their rooms. When he reached the door, Ivan went to the warehouse in front of the temple gate, which was now empty, only their pickup truck was parked there, and on the back compartment of the pickup truck, the monk lit an oil lamp similar to an ever-bright lamp, and the compassion of the Buddha gate was unmistakable. Engineer Lin's body was examined, and there were slight signs of decomposition. It's been two days, and although I stopped in the freezer of the morgue for a day, I was outside this afternoon, and the temperature in this country has been in the mid-20s, and there are no freezing rooms and measures in the temple, so it's still not easy to preserve.

"Hey, hold on one more day, and tomorrow we will have to be cremated anyway, otherwise the corpse will stink. Ivan shook his head and sighed as he returned to his room.

Seeing Chen Xing sitting on the bed, thoughtful, Ivan also took off his coat, sat on his bed, and said, "Engineer Lin's body can't be delayed any longer, it must be burned tomorrow." Seeing Chen Xing nodded, he continued, "Are you going out in a while?"

This time, Chen Xing came back to his senses, looked at Ivan in surprise, and said in his heart, "You know again?"

Ivan met Chen Xing's gaze and said with a smile: "After dinner, let's visit the monastery, passing by a separate small courtyard, the one without a courtyard gate, there is an old monk with an East Asian appearance, meditating in the room. He opened his eyes as we passed, and I saw you look at each other for a moment, and you froze for a few seconds. Are you going to visit him in a moment?"

Chen Xing is convinced this time, it seems that to survive in this world, it is really necessary to improve many aspects of ability, not only knowledge, Ivan does not have superpowers, but it is this specially trained ability, this means of focusing on details, can abuse himself into scum, or the kind of scum that is not blind, it is too terrifying.

Seeing Chen Xing's surprised expression, Ivan said: "In the future, I will be by your side to give you guidance at any time, this kind of subtle observation is the foundation of our survival and the way to save our lives." In any environment, you can't take it lightly, remember, living is your success, you must not be arrogant, no matter how capable people are, they can't stop a poisonous arrow and a bullet from the villain in the dark. ”

Chen Xing nodded seriously, he knew that this was Ivan's concern for him and his guidance, no one would be by your side twenty-four hours a day, and mastering the way of survival by yourself was the foundation of life in this world of the jungle. He was very glad that he had Ivan, a brother, this teacher.

After thinking for a while, Chen Xing said: "When I passed by the old monk's courtyard just now, I had a particularly familiar feeling, as if my relatives were there, waiting for me to visit, but I confirmed that I didn't know the old monk, don't you think it's strange? So, I want to wait for a while when almost everyone in the temple sleeps, to see if there is a chance to talk to him and whether it can solve my doubts." ”

Ivan also thought about it for a while, he knew that his brother was full of weirdness, but he didn't want to ask in detail, so he said to Chen Xing: "It's okay, you can go over and have a look at it later, and find a chance to talk to him, that courtyard is not far from here, if there is any situation, you can make some noise, I will rush over immediately, you don't have to worry." ”

At about 10 o'clock in the evening, Chen Xing sensed with the eye of heaven, and everyone in the basic monastery fell asleep, only a few elderly monks in the separate courtyard were still meditating on the futon in their rooms, and it seemed that they were used to this way of practice, including the old monk with an East Asian face. These elderly monks all reacted more or less when Chen Xing's perception passed over their bodies, some opened their eyes and listened in confusion, while others frowned and continued to close their eyes and concentrate.

When the perception was enveloped in the entire Fearless Mountain Temple, Chen Xing had a particularly strange feeling, as if there was a strong and restrained aura hidden in the three-dimensional space of the temple, after coming into contact with Chen Xing's perception, he found out that there was no malice, and he disappeared, as if it had never existed, so that Chen Xing did not dare to spread his perception unscrupulously.

Barefoot in front of the courtyard of the old monk with an East Asian face, and seeing the room where candles were still lit inside, Chen Xing hesitated, but still walked into the courtyard and walked to the door of the room.

The old monk had already opened his eyes, and he was sitting cross-legged on the futon on the floor of the simple room, pointed to another futon beside him, and said in an unfamiliar Huaxia dialect with a Fujian accent: "Come in, sit down, young man." ”

Seeing Chen Xing sit down and look at himself with a look of surprise, the old monk continued: "The poor monk has not understood the law, and he has not spoken Huaxia for nearly thirty years, so he is a little rusty, please forgive me." ”

Chen Xing hurriedly said: "Master Buwu, my name is Chen Xing, a person from M City in Northeast China, I can understand what you say, I'm sorry, I'm so late, I'm disturbed." ”

Wuwu looked at Chen Xing carefully, and at the same time, a faint aura also circulated in his body, and a faint familiar perception also caressed Chen Xing's whole body. This is the first time that Chen Xing feels that he has someone else's energy to perceive him, and that kind of experience, as if being blown by a breeze through his whole body in an airtight room, is so weird.

Buwu sighed, pinched his fingers and calculated, and asked Chen Xing, "Which word is in your father's name as "Wan, Jade, and Yong"?"

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "It's the word "jade". ”

"Then your grandfather's name should be "Wan", right?"

Seeing Chen Xing nodding, he asked a little strangely, "Then there should be a word "Yong" in the middle of your name?"

"My mother said that when I was registered, the staff of the police station was negligent and wrote a Yongzi less, and I didn't pay attention to it at the time. Chen Xing explained.

"Oh......" Buwu suddenly asked, "Your heavenly eyes are open, you should have some special abilities, right?"

Chen Xing couldn't control himself anymore, stood up from the futon excitedly, and subconsciously asked, "Who are you?

In a foreign country thousands of miles away from his hometown, in an ancient Buddhist temple with a history of thousands of years, in the simple monk's room in the dead of night and flickering by candlelight, an old monk is old and rare, in the Chinese dialect with a Fujian accent, talking about Chen Xing's own life experience and secrets that only he knows, all of this is shrouded in mystery, all of this is like an invisible hand, holding Chen Xing's heart that he thought was strong, as if as soon as he stretched out his hand, this heart would be completely opened, and Chen Xing, in front of this old monk, was like transparent, and there was no secret at all。
