Chapter 119: Puzzle Solved
"Okay, donor, please sit down first, and then you can slowly explain your situation, and the old man should try his best to help you see what to do," the old monk smiled and stretched out his hand to the swarthy strong man.
"Okay, okay," the swarthy strong man quickly sat down on the chair, and then said to the old monk, "Master, in fact, I usually have the same as everyone else in our town, that is, I have cultivated a few fields, and then raised a few cows, and there are some backlogs and the like, usually during the New Year's holidays and other things, I am very sincere to worship the Buddha, by the way, I forgot to tell you, my name is Wang Da Niu, and I am 39 years old this year, hehe." ”
Wang Daniu laughed, cracking open the two rows of white teeth in his mouth.
"Hello Lord Wang, please continue," the old monk nodded to Wang Daniu and said.
"Well, I'm 39 years old this year, in fact, when I was 30 years old, I had a festival every year, as long as it was a day when I needed to burn incense and worship God, I would make a wish, hoping that I would marry a daughter-in-law this year, but nine years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the old people in the family and my brothers have been worrying about this marriage for me, whether it is looking for a matchmaker, or going on a blind date by myself, etc., in the end it was unsuccessful, so I want to ask about my marriage, is it that I am destined to die alone in this life?"
Wang Daniu said in the end, looking at the old monk with a very angry look on his face, and at the same time his face trembled unnaturally, afraid that what came out of the old monk's mouth in the next second was a positive answer.
"Marriage, you can't force it, you will naturally come, but since you came to ask me, do you know your birthday?" the old monk asked Wang Daniu.
"I know, I know, this matchmaker doesn't know how many times she has to come to our house, and I can recite it upside down," Wang Daniu laughed, and the big white teeth that were exposed by his split lips made him look very simple.
After a while, the old monk learned from Wang Da Niu's mouth that Wang Da Niu's own birth date was eight characters, unloaded a piece of yellow paper, looked at it for a while, and then looked up and said to Wang Da Niu: " Your home is sitting south and facing north, and the geographical location is excellent, but it is a pity that you are the smallest in the family, and choose a smallest room as a bedroom, the bed is placed opposite the door, and there is also a broken evil mirror, which does not have the effect of exorcism for you, but it has a lot of harm to you, you go back to change the direction of the bed, must not be in the direction of the door, and at the same time take away the evil mirror in the room, of course, if you can change the room, the effect will be better, and then you are at the south entrance of your village, there is an old locust tree, you will insert a stick of incense under the old locust tree tomorrow, worship three timesThen go home to shower and change clothes, and in less than a month, your good deeds will be done. ”
"God...... God! Master, how do you know the situation in my family? I, there is really an evil mirror in my room, which my mother begged for me in the temple, and others said that this can bring me marriage, so I said that there has been no marriage since I hung it, it turns out that this is all fake!" Wang Daniu said with some excitement.
"This is not how the Evil Breaking Mirror is used, if you have the idea of it, you can put it in the hall and worship it, and the family will become more harmonious," the old monk smiled at Wang Daniu.
"Okay, thank you, master, thank you, master, I'll go back and do what you want, if it's done, I will definitely come to thank the master," Wang Daniu said to the old monk very gratefully, "By the way, master, where are you from? If I want to thank you, where am I going to thank you, I heard that you are a master from outside, I am afraid that you will no longer be in our town by then." ”
"Suiyuan, Suiyuan, hehe, Lao Wei is the abbot of Songshan Temple, if you have a heart, there is no big problem in terms of money and materials, you can come to Songshan Temple to pay homage to my Buddha in the future," the old monk said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I must remember," Wang Daniu looked a little incoherent with excitement now, "Then I'll go back first, master, thank you for your advice." ”
"You're welcome," the old monk said with a heaved laugh, and soon Wang Da Niu ran out in a hurry, without greeting those who had come with him.
"Uncles and uncles, is there anyone else you need to ask the master?" After Wang Daniu walked for a while, no one came into the greenhouse, which made Tang Lin have to stand up and ask the townspeople who were still watching outside.
"How's that? Do you think it's true?"
"I think it's true, a little bit of a god. ”
"I think it might be fake, and the big cow was able to find his daughter-in-law like this? ”
"Xiao Liu, why don't you ask?"
"Brother Hao, I think you should go up and ask first, we are looking at what the situation is. ”
……
Numerous discussions rang out outside the greenhouse again, and no one really walked in.
"I'll come," a mid-term deep voice sounded from outside, and everyone looked over, but it was a man with gray hair. He was wearing a relatively common white-washed tunic suit.
"Hello Uncle Eight!"
"Eighth uncle, why are you here?"
"Eighth uncle, you have to come out and let us pick you up!"
……
The old man, who was called Eighth Uncle, quickly walked into the greenhouse under everyone's greetings, and then sat down on the chair that Wang Dazhu had just left.
"I don't know what kind of doubts or puzzles do you have about this benefactor?" the old monk asked the eighth uncle with a smile.
"Actually, I don't have any doubts or puzzles, I just came to see if the people who can be recommended by the people of the district government to carry out such activities outside our ancient temple are three-headed, six-armed or two-headed, and they are so openly disrespectful to our ancient temple here," the eighth uncle's tone was a little unkind, and it seemed that he was a loyal supporter of the ancient temple.
"Then I don't know what you think after reading it, donor?" Lao Heshang still asked with a smile, as if he was not dissatisfied with the eighth uncle's questioning of him.
"I've seen it, that is, a very ordinary person, there is nothing to brag about, I don't understand those people in the district government, they have an ancient temple in their own house, and they have to invite some so-called monks outside, who said that the monks outside must be effective?"
After hearing this, the old monk was silent for a while, Tang Lin and the others were also silent, it seems that this eighth uncle has obviously come to step on the field, and looking at the attitude of the townspeople outside towards him, his status in the town seems to be not small.
But soon, the old monk laughed again, looked at the eighth uncle and said: "This donor, the old man came here to be entrusted by others, and he is indeed lacking in skills, but I don't know if you can listen to me?"
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, the old monk's attitude obviously made the eighth uncle who wanted to continue to lose his temper not know how to continue to dismantle the stage, and finally nodded and said impatiently: "Say it, see if you can name the flower." ”
"Hehe, then thank you donor for being able to give me so much time," the old monk smiled and folded his hands to the eighth uncle, and then put down his hand and continued, "I see that the donor has a ruddy face, a round and full court, thick lips and a slightly high nose bridge, so the first half of your life can be said to be tired all your life, but after the year of 30, the whole stage of life has changed, and at the age of 30, something happened around you that made your life change like this. ”
"Hmph! Who doesn't know about these past things? You can know it in a little hall, do you still need to say it?" The eighth uncle obviously scoffed at the old monk's words.
"Of course, these are indeed things that can be heard, but I am not going to tell you this, I just want to say that you have enjoyed most of your life because of that incident, if the old man is not mistaken, there may be changes in the family recently, I hope that the donor can still see the above, cherish it a lot," the old monk said to the eighth uncle.
The eighth uncle's forehead was obviously wrinkled, and he asked a little angrily, "Are you cursing my family for an accident?"
"No, no, donor, if my expectations are good, you may hear some bad news when you return home now, but birth, old age, sickness and death are a normal state, and people always have to learn to accept this natural law," the old monk said very calmly with his palms, and did not have any negative emotions about the attitude of the eighth uncle.
"Eighth Uncle, Eighth Uncle!" suddenly came a hurried shout in the distance.
"Eighth Uncle is here!" said one of the townspeople standing outside the shed in response to someone shouting in the distance.
It didn't take long for a breathless young man to run over, still sweating in this slightly cold weather, but after he ran in, he didn't have time to wipe the sweat on his face, and he didn't care about the shoes on his feet because he had already knocked off the soles of his shoes when he ran over just now, and said to the eighth uncle who was looking at him suspiciously: "Eighth uncle, it's not good, eighth uncle and grandmother just fell at home, and now she has been sent to the clinic, Dr. Liu said that the situation is a little not optimistic, so let me come and inform you." ”
"What?!" The face of the eighth uncle, who was still aggressive towards the old monk just now, suddenly changed, and after glancing at the old monk who was still smiling, he hurriedly stood up and said to the young man who had just run over, "Hurry back, you run fast, you go back first and say that I am already on the way back, and I will be there soon." ”
"Okay, Eighth Uncle, Eighth Uncle is in the clinic now, not at home, don't go to the wrong place," the young man confirmed with Eighth Uncle, and quickly ran back to the same path.
After the eighth uncle glanced at the old monk again, he quickly walked out in a hurry, and did not say anything to the old monk.
After the back of the eighth uncle has become very small, more and more townspeople standing outside the greenhouse suddenly became lively, discussing what the old monk said to the eighth uncle just now, most people think that the old monk is really a capable monk, but a small number of people say that this is just a coincidence, and a small number of people say that this is a premeditated plan.
These words of the old monk and Tang Lin stopped in their ears, but they didn't say anything, but Qin Ru, Lu Meiying, Chen Pei and Shao Nianqiang showed angry expressions on their faces.
These people don't understand it, forget it, and when they see something they don't understand, they just talk nonsense here, and they really don't have any quality at all.
Of course, this knowledge Qin Ru's innermost thoughts were not shown to the townspeople outside, otherwise it would be very difficult for them to leave Xiaozi Town safely.
It was discussed outside, but soon, a middle-aged woman walked in from the outside, wearing what might have been the traces left by going out to do farm work just now, a little dirty, but it couldn't hide the simplicity of her body.
"Master, hello!" After the middle-aged woman came in, she saluted the old monk very reverently, and the attitude of the eighth uncle when he came in before was simply the same as heaven and earth.
"Hello donor, please take a seat," the old monk said in return.
"Thank you!" the middle-aged woman quickly sat down in her chair, and in a simple greeting, it seemed that she was not an impolite person.
"I don't know if you need Lao Ke to help you with something?" the old monk asked the middle-aged woman.
"Actually, I don't have anything serious, I just want to ask you, master, many people say that yesterday's thunder and lightning was used by God to punish bad people, otherwise it wouldn't be in the case of a cloudless sky, come to such a sunny day, my family's words are to live at the bottom of that hillside, I and my man didn't sleep all night last night, just afraid that there was really something wrong, and then he would come to our house, of course, nothing happened last night, just a little uneasy, so I don't know if you can show us what happened yesterday, Master, why did you lay such a thunderbolt in our kid town. ”
"Hehe, it turns out to be this, in fact, I also know what happened yesterday, and the old man also told your district governor in advance, such an incident will happen in that place yesterday, this is actually similar to auspicious luck from the sky, and it is not a bad thing, so you can sleep with peace of mind, and nothing strange will appear," the old monk said with a smile.
"Of course, if you go to that tree and take a look, you will find that there are two words engraved on that tree, 'hard work', and these two words are not newly engraved, so the old man thinks that God has asked you to work harder to make your life better, not as it is now. ”
The old monk's words made the middle-aged woman opposite a little suspicious, she felt that the old monk was still too simple, but is the truth really that simple?
