Chapter 123: Tian Chu's Story (5)
Sanqing and Soul Haoxuan left Tian Chu's house, leaving Tian Chu to sit in the Buddha hall in a daze, and now he is no longer afraid of what bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods will jump out of this Buddha hall, and he doesn't know why. He sat until dusk, into the night, and then fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Tian Chu woke up, got up and left the house, went straight to the nearest temple, invited a few monks who had been friends with him, and asked them to do a ritual in their own home, but when the monks asked who to do it for, he said that it should be done for himself, for fear that no one would take care of the aftermath after death. The monks were surprised but also sympathetic.
The ceremony began at dawn, and in order not to disturb the surrounding residents, several monks lowered the pitch of their chanting. Tian Chu sat alone not far from the Buddhist hall, quietly thinking about his thoughts.
He remembered some things from the past, some of which were high-spirited and proud, and some of the days when he fled in fear later. He thought that if he hadn't insisted on going to the tomb back then, Ma Ping'an and his buddies would not have died, and he Tian Chu would not have ended up like this, maybe he would have already become a big man on the rich side. However, how can there be so many ifs in life? By now, he had already accepted his fate, he knew that he was just an old man waiting for death, he was nothing, and what he could do was to be free of worries before he died.
Sanqing took Mu Yi and Lin Danhong to Tian's house, when the sun had just climbed into the sky and stood firm. Soul Haoxuan refused to come, and Fan Youwei was unwell, so Sanqing didn't bring him.
The door of the Tian family was open, so there was no need to knock. Sanqing took the lead in walking into Tian's house, and at a glance saw Tian Chu who was silently in a daze, he thought about it and didn't call him.
But Mu Yi, who followed closely, shouted loudly: "Boss Tian!" successfully interrupted Tian Chu's thoughts and attracted his attention, and when he turned around and saw that it was Sanqing and his party, he immediately got up and walked towards them.
Lin Danhong looked left and right, looked at Sanqing for a while, and looked at Tian Chu who was walking over for a while. After Sanqing returned to the hotel yesterday, she was hit by Lin Danhong, she pulled Sanqing, and finally made Sanqing unbearable, and told her about Tian Chu. After hearing this, she felt that Sanqing had helped Tian Chu a lot, and she should ask him for compensation appropriately. Sanqing was noncommittal. Lin Danhong said angrily at that time, Sanqing doesn't want it, she wants it, otherwise they will all have to eat soil. No, Sanqing came to Tian's house early in the morning, and she came with her, and at this time she was thinking about how to ask Tian Chu for money!
"Why did the Dao Leader get up so early?" Tian Chu came to Sanqing and the others, and said respectfully to Mu Yi, in fact, he was shocked in his heart, and he didn't know why they suddenly came here.
"Yesterday's incident, after the apprentice went back, he told Lao Dao, I also think you should build a grave for Ma Ping'an, so as to prove that he has stayed in this world. Mu Yiyan said that these words were not from the Three Puritans, but from his feelings.
"Yes, I know that I owe him too much, and now the yin and yang are not separated, so I can only do what the Taoist master said, I invited a few monks before dawn, and now I am trying to overtake him!
"Fortunately, you have this heart, so you don't have to go to any feng shui master, I'll help you pick a place to ensure that the two of you will not be sad in the next life!" Mu Yi said with a smile.
"What? Dao Chang is willing to help, then, that's great!" Tian Chu didn't expect Mu Yi to offer to help, and he was a little excited for a while.
"It's nothing, it's just a gesture!Let's go, take me to the nearby mountains for a spin!" Mu Yi waved his hand to signal that Tian Chu didn't have to thank him, and then waved his hand again, as if asking Tian Chu to lead the way.
"Now?" Tian Chu looked at Mu Yi in surprise.
"This matter, we have to hurry up, otherwise the good place may be snatched away, haven't you heard that the early bird has worms? It is the same reason! I see that there is auspicious rui in the southwest today, let's go to the southwest!" Mu Yi saw that Tian Chu had doubts, so he said this with a smile.
"Boss Tian, don't worry about taking my master up the mountain, I am watching the Dharma here, and my senior brother is watching at the other end of the hotel, there is nothing wrong!" Tian Chu hesitated, and Sanqing suddenly spoke.
"I'm not worried about the hotel, I'm really afraid that those monks will be lazy when I leave, since the little brother said so, I'm relieved!
"Aren't you a little money fan looking for him for money, why did you come here and keep silent??" After Tian Chu and Mu Yi left, Sanqing deliberately teased Lin Danhongdao.
Lin Danhong pursed his lips, showing an aggrieved expression, and then said: "I thought about it carefully, Boss Tian still blames the poor ......."
"Yo, this doesn't look like your style!" Sanqing continued to tease!
"Li Sanqing, don't you have sympathy? Sue you, when the money in my pocket is spent, I will buy you to work as a coolie!" Lin Danhong saw Sanqing smiling evilly, and immediately became angry.
"Let's go and supervise those monks chanting!" Sanqing saw that Lin Danhong was angry and immediately changed the topic.
"I don't want to go, you can go by yourself!I hope those monks will be better if they also cross you!" Lin Danhong said angrily, then turned around and left.
Sanqing didn't stop him, let her leave the Tian family, and then sighed, and said softly: "This woman, it's really strange!" and then turned around, but instead of leaving, he walked to the Buddha hall.
In the Buddha hall, the Buddha statues have all been moved out of the door, and the various fairy portraits on the wall have also been picked up. Four monks sit cross-legged around the statue of Maitreya Buddha, one of them is older, about the age of antiquity, and the other three are young monks who have only passed the age of confusion. They chanted Buddhist scriptures, sometimes beating wooden fish, and Sanqing heard that it was a mantra for rebirth.
Looking at these monks, Sanqing naturally remembered what Lin Danhong said about the monk who gave her a peachwood sword. He didn't know who this monk was, but he knew that he must have something to do with Huangquan Guitu, but he didn't know whether he was friend or foe.
Sanqing's mind appeared Lin Danhong's appearance, and until now he hadn't figured out whether this girl who suddenly appeared and claimed to have seen him in a dream was really innocent, or whether she was hiding by his side on purpose.
At this moment, Sanqing suddenly felt as if he had walked into a thick fog, and he couldn't tell anything clearly.
He felt a headache, reached out and rubbed his eyebrows, and then sat down in the place where Tian Chu had just sat and quietly listened to the chanting sound from the mouths of the four monks.
