Friend Tianchang

Today the fat donkey sent me up the mountain half an hour earlier than in the past. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is half an hour in advance, so that the first time at nine o'clock to Fengyukou.

Last week's snow could still be seen on the top of the mountain, and the place where I left a series of footprints was no longer visible in the residual snow, and I felt a little disappointed.

Less than one o'clock in the afternoon, we returned to Wat Pho. There I met a familiar donkey friend Qin Yun and his friend, and the three of us went down the mountain together. Originally, they didn't plan to go from the temple, but because their car was parked at the foot of the temple, they had to go down from here.

Passing by the Pure Industry Temple, I saw Tianchang and another monk going back and forth in front of the main hall, calling him to say hello. Tianchang invited me to sit in the living room of the sky, and I wondered to myself, how could I go with him? He still repeatedly proposed to go up and sit together, feeling that he would not be able to leave for a while and a half, and remembered that the last time I went to the Zen temple behind the temple and did not go in.

So I said, "Master Tianchang, can you take me to the Zen monastery?"

"Let's go, I'll take you. He readily agreed, but there was a hint of loss in his eyes. I beckoned my two companions to come along.

"Why do you still have two followers?" Tianchang muttered quietly.

Hearing him mutter, I wanted to tease him again. I said aloud, "What are you reciting? Say what you just said again!" ”

"Look at you, don't laugh. It's just a little kid. Can you say this out loud?" Tianchang said as he looked back at the two travelers who were not far from me.

'Little child?' he made himself an old man again, and he went, and I got used to it.

The road leading to the temple is actually passed by every time I go up the mountain, going up to the left (left and right because I turned here), and to the right is where it leads, and I never paid attention to where it leads. The new building on the right looms, and I don't know what it does. Not long ago, I saw a few photos taken from the temple in a magazine in the monastery, and I felt that the scenery was beautiful when I looked at the Qinling Mountains from there. From then on, I was tempted to take a look at it.

Three weeks ago, I went up on my own, only to be blocked by a barbed fence. Visually, the gate is very high, and there is no ability to climb over. When I was pondering, a dog barked in the courtyard, which scared me and I turned around. Because they can jump out of the gate, it's easier to bite me, and besides, who knows if this dog is hungry or full.

Now following Tianchang, the dog is still barking, and he is still a little apprehensive. I said, "Master Tianchang, this Tibetan mastiff is too scary. ”

"Don't be afraid, there is me, let it bite me first. But if it doesn't bite me, then there's nothing I can do. It's up to you to get past it. Let's go, cowardly. Hehe. "Haha, we all laughed when he said that.

He was walking so fast that none of the three of us could keep up with him, which I didn't expect.

"You've been climbing the mountain for a day, and you're tired now. He explained for good reason.

"Why haven't you been here......" He began to look for small things again.

"I didn't want to come here before because I didn't know what it was for. It's not surprising that I've been walking around the monastery for three years, and I only found out about where you ate two weeks ago. This is my character, my ears do not hear anything else, my eyes do not look at the temple scenery, and I concentrate on climbing the mountain. It's like you, in the monastery, thinking about the universe. I teased him.

"Pull it down....... "He said a long list of things that I can't remember. It made everyone laugh at me.

After entering the courtyard, Master Tianchang's level appeared. Every house is open for us to see. He explained in detail the purpose of each room, but unfortunately I was not very interested, but fortunately, the other two friends were lay people (it seems to be one, Qin Yun can't be sure, but he is more a layman than the layman, and his head is knocked on the look. They listened very carefully.

In a large room, I can't remember what I do. I was blown away by the ceiling and brilliant under the lights. I almost rolled my neck back to take the picture. It's not easy, but fortunately, the photos are beautiful.

I just want to see the view from the yard looking at the opposite hill. Standing in the courtyard with a wide field of vision, Tianchang pointed to me to show the reclining Buddha on the opposite mountain. It's so strange that I've been walking on the mountain for three years and I've never found this wonder on the opposite mountain.

The reclining Buddha is a female Buddha who is lifelike! At that moment, standing here, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart, and I only felt that the location of this Zen temple was too good.

"In the fall, it would be nice to be able to pitch a tent in this courtyard and stay overnight. At that time, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and it must have been beautiful here. "I said to my companion.

"yes, good idea. Qin Yun said.

"I can't help you. Then you have to tell my master, see if he agrees? It depends on the fate of the two of you. Alas, you said you two were stupid and happy all day long, how could you have so much curiosity. Tianchang said worriedly.

I understand what he said. On more than one occasion, he questioned what Sky and I had been happy all day.

Tianchang took us to the Patriarch Pagoda and told me that it was one of his fellow villagers and a native of Northeast China. The devotion in his eyes when he knelt down was something I didn't expect, because he had always been unscrupulous, and rarely told me anything seriously.

He spoke very attentively, and I listened a little cautiously.

When I left the temple, I wanted to tease him again. I said, "Master Tianchang, after a few years, you have passed away, let the sky build a tower for you." At that time, I guess I didn't exist anymore, and I couldn't come to see you, and the descendants of the travelers would worship you, hehe. ”

"You pull it down......" haha, we all laughed. Because his counter-attack on me was hilarious, and the content was about the sky.

I went down to the temple and didn't rest, I'm going down the mountain. When I was about to leave the hospital, I heard Tianchang call me, and I looked back at him.

"Come back for a moment. He stood in front of the main hall and beckoned to me.

I stood in front of him and said, "What's wrong?"

"What do you see?" he said, pointing to the bonsai on the stone fence.

Oops, he started again, and finally got normal for a while. However, I summed up the countermeasure to his question, which was to ask him rhetorically. Because I never got it right, what he asked was never the same as what I thought.

"What do you mean?" I asked calmly.

Tianchang really said something strange. In order to repay him for taking me to the Zen monastery, I had to listen to him patiently.

While I was listening absentmindedly, Tianchang suddenly said, "This is the last time you see me." I have to go. ”

"Ah, you're leaving. Why?" I was taken aback.

"No why, I'm leaving......"

"Does the sky know, how good the sky is to you here, where are you going?"

"I know he's good to me and you're good, but I'm ......"

"Didn't you say that you came here from the Northeast to take care of us? Why did you leave? It's so cold, where are you going?" I wanted to make fun of him, but I cried when I said it.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited, I'm ......," he said calmly.

Alas, he was wrong again. I'm not excited, I'm sad. Thinking of him leaving here, on such a cold day, wandering around took pity on him, and tears couldn't stop flowing. Thinking of his concern for me for more than two years, and I kept teasing him and teasing him, and then thinking that he couldn't do anything, and the future was still unknown, I felt very uncomfortable.

"You wait for Sky to come back and discuss with him. If it's still vulgar, you have to leave immediately, and I won't stop you, because there is a chance waiting for you. If that's still the case, don't leave now, wait until next spring when it's time to go. ”

"Don't tell the sky what we're talking about, you're both still kids. His face was still calm, but his gaze was a little uncertain.

"Huh?" In the past, I felt a little spark in my heart when I heard this, but I didn't feel wrong with it.

"Let's go down the mountain, you are too simple, too kind, you have to protect yourself......" In the face of my tears, he still had a calm face.

Oh, I suddenly seemed to understand something, wiped away my tears and said goodbye to him: "I'm going down the mountain, let's go again when the spring is peaceful." ”

When I left the temple gate, I looked back at him, and Tianchang had entered the main hall.

When I went down the mountain, I thought that he had said in May that I would not see him a few times, so he would not necessarily leave, and this time would not be the last time we would see him.
