Chapter 49: Bonding
That Li Ping is a lover of personality, and when he saw Chen Zhujun calling late at night, he thought that Chen Zhujun was obsessed with him, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he thought of his own emphasis on profit and righteousness. He couldn't help but reminisce on the phone, wanting to get back together, but he didn't expect Chen Zhujun to hang up the phone as soon as he heard it. Li Ping called a few more phones one after another, but Chen Zhujun just didn't mention it.
Li Ping pulled out twenty phone calls, but Chen Zhujun was angry and didn't answer. The more amorous he is, the more Chen Zhujun feels that the world is like paper, and people's hearts are not ancient. Thinking that he was floating like duckweed for half his life, he felt that there was a resentment in his chest like fire. When it was almost dawn, Chen Zhujun's chest was full of panic, and he called Li Ping angrily, and said sharply, "In the future, don't come to me, I won't come to you." I have decided that I will never have anything to do with anyone in the future. From then on, I went alone to collect the nine-day moon, and I went to catch the turtles of the five oceans alone, who didn't have to worry about me, and I didn't have to worry about anyone, living in the world, it was best for each other to be safe and not disturb each other. ”
Li Ping said, "Don't be angry, I'm confused for a while, okay? You wait for me, I'll come to Hunan to pick you up in a few days, you don't have to rush to leave home." You know, there are some things that I can't help myself......"
Without waiting for Li Ping to finish speaking, Chen Zhujun hung up the phone angrily.
Two days later, Chen Zhujun took his suitcase and went to a nearby nunnery called Yunwu Nunnery and stayed.
In the temples and nunnery in the countryside, there are no rules for monks to be 800, and they can enter the door without going through any formalities. There is an old nun in the nunnery, more than seventy years old, more than 30 years old to see through the red dust into the nunnery, for decades to the nunnery as a home, devout worship Buddha, chanting scriptures, the nunnery is like a summer resort. The old nun regards herself as a "fairy" who does not eat the fireworks of the world, and has always held a bit of a high level of avoidance for ordinary people. saw Chen Zhujun alone, but he liked it for some reason. The two live together and get along very well.
A few days later, Li Ping rushed over from Jiangxi and learned that Chen Zhujun had become a nun in Yunwu Nunnery, so he hurried over. He ran to the nunnery in one breath, and saw Chen Zhujun repairing a handful of flowers and plants in front of the nunnery, and after meeting, he didn't say a word, and took her hand and was about to go down the mountain. Chen Zhujun refused to live or die, broke free from Li Ping's hand and ran back to the room to lock the door, and let Li Ping Ping knock on the door non-stop. Li Ping was not discouraged, and went down the mountain when it was almost dark, and rushed over again the next day. ran like this for three days, knocked on the door and called people, and almost turned the Yunwu Nunnery over, and I didn't see Chen Zhujun. On the fourth day, Li Ping rushed early, and while Chen Zhujun was meditating with the old nun, he rushed over. Seeing Chen Zhujun, Li Ping pulled and left, Chen Zhujun refused, the two of you pushed me, and almost knocked down a Bodhisattva in the nunnery.
"You are so disappointing!" The old nun trembled with anger when she saw that a Bodhisattva in the nunnery almost knocked off an arm, "You are really blasphemous, you want to fight, go home and fight!" After speaking, she walked into the bedroom and picked up Chen Zhujun's things, threw them outside the nunnery, and then locked Chen Zhujun's bedroom.
Chen Zhujun picked up those things, looked at the locked door, and had to go down the mountain in a daze.
Back to the rented house, Li Ping was still stalking, Chen Zhujun was unwilling to rebuild the old friendship with Li Ping, and Li Ping had to return to Jiangxi.
Some of Chen Zhujun's relatives saw that her old love was still unbroken and that she could not become a monk, so they got together again, regarded her as a focal point, and discussed her for a while.
"Half-life marriage is like duckweed, according to Buddhism, there must be some cause and effect. Maybe she was inattentive in her previous life, and she always played with other people's feelings, which caused her to be undecided in this life. A cousin of Chen Zhujun said.
"You're right, marriage in this life is determined in the previous life, perhaps, Zhujun changed a man in her previous life like a change of clothes, and she was exchanged by others in this life. An aunt of Chen Zhujun said.
"Yes, to be a man, everything has to be helped by a fate, marriage has to talk about marriage, and lovers have to talk about love. Without the help of this word in life, some things will inevitably make people anxious. And this fate is mostly formed by previous lives. Chen Zhujun's aunt Guan Tao said.
"Oh, yes, if you didn't get married in your previous life, then what will you do in this life?" Chen Zhujun's mother, Zhao Yan, asked anxiously.
"If you didn't get married in your previous life, you can find ways to get married in this life. For example, if the marriage is not good, you can get married, if the relationship is not good, you can get married, and if the career is not good, you can get married. How can people guarantee that there will be such a good fate waiting for them as soon as they are born? Many of them are not remedied by the day after tomorrow. Chen Zhujun's aunt Guan Tao said.
"What kind of remedy?" Zhao Yan said.
"We can invite a Taoist priest to give Chen Zhujun a practice, build a marriage bridge, and get married, and her marriage in this life will be stable. Guan Tao said.
"Yes, it is like changing men and clothes when you get it, after all, it is too risky to change around, and if you change to another person with AIDS, her little life will really be difficult to protect. Zhao Yan said.
The crowd felt that it made sense. So, a few days later, two of Chen Zhujun's three aunts and six mothers-in-law were enthusiastic, and they bothered to invite a white-haired old Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest took his two apprentices to the old house of Chen Zhujun's mother's house. The Taoist priest wore a red hat without a top, and his five-inch-long hair was tied up by the hat, and it stood on his head like a handful of wild grass through the top of the hat. The two apprentices beside the Taoist priest were a woman in her fifties with a thin face and a bit rickety on her back, and the other apprentice was a man in his sixties, with a fat face and a rich face, and two upper and lower front teeth had been lost. The three of them stood in the hall of the old house. The old Taoist priest was wearing a robe with red edges on a black background, his eyes slightly closed, and his hands folded. The male apprentice blew a trumpet, and the handle of the trumpet just blocked the gap between the front teeth. The female apprentice held a small gong and kept beating it. In front of them lay a wooden arched bridge, and at one end of the bridge floated a life-tall shadow puppet, swinging back and forth on the bridge.
"Marriage in this life is determined in the previous life, and there is no fate in this life, this bridge is dedicated to people who have a deep relationship in the world," the old Taoist priest walked to the bridge and said loudly, "Call the donor who wants to get married." ”
When the relatives took a look, they found that Chen Zhujun, who was going to get married, was not present, so a relative volunteered to drive to the town to pick up Chen Zhujun in a hurry.
Chen Zhujun was dragged to the old house in a daze, thinking that the family was engaged in a huge sacrifice, so he couldn't help tiptoeing to watch the excitement. Later, a relative approached her and bit her ear for a while, and Chen Zhujun understood what was going on.
"You guys, let me out!" Chen Zhujun said angrily, "It's really nerves!" she walked to the bridge and yelled at the old Taoist, "Tear down the guy and throw it out for me!" Then she ripped off the shadow puppet and stomped it under her feet.
"My grandmother, don't you want to marry in your life?" said the old Taoist priest in surprise, "We have easily helped you find a man, how can you trample him under your feet like mud?" Although he is not a real man, as long as you hold his hand on this bridge and make your wish, a man you expect will appear in your future life, and this man will take care of you like a big tree in the future, and will not be like a cloud or fog that makes you unable to see through. In this era, it is not easy to find a reliable man, all living beings, you don't have fiery eyes, you don't have a demon mirror, guess you are difficult to find. But with us helping you do it, it's a different story. What kind of man do you want, you just need to make a wish on the bridge, and we will find it for you. ”
"I want to find a man like Tang Seng who is not moved," Chen Zhujun teased, "Can you help me find it?"
"Of course we can find it," the Taoist priest said seriously, "Sensei said that Tang Seng is a man like Ximenqing, and we can find it too." Based on our experience, most women like men like Ximenqing, because such men are rich. It doesn't matter how many wives he has, as long as he marries and has no worries about food and clothing. How do you like an ascetic like Tang Seng, who wants money but no money, no power, Amitabha, it's strange if you marry and don't starve to death. Girl, hurry up and go to the bridge and make a wish, I advise you, it's better to find a rich man like Ximenqing, marry him, if he is not good to you, you can secretly be good with other men. ”
The onlookers burst into laughter.
"You guys, let me out!" Chen Zhujun roared, "Don't cheat and play tricks here, I'll go to the big temple tomorrow to become a monk and see what else you have to see!"
"Monks can't do without people wherever they go," said the male apprentice next to the Taoist priest, "There are monks in the temple, there are monks in the temple, and although monks are not allowed to live in the nunnery, there are still many monks in charge of affairs secretly." Who can guarantee that the monks will not fall in love with each other? So, I see you, it is still necessary to go up to the bridge to get married. ”
"Phew, it looks like I've never seen a man in my life," Chen Zhujun spitted, "It's really as dirty as the world is, I'll go out of the house to show you, if I don't have a relationship with the monk at that time, you will hang yourself and show me!"
"Girl, if you really fall in love with a monk, how can we know?
"Shut up!" Chen Zhujun crossed his waist with one hand, pointed at the group of Taoist priests with the other, and scolded, "You guys, get me out immediately!"
The crowd looked at each other. The ritual of bonding ended up in a commotion.
