The monk didn't know how to offend her, so he had to smile bitterly twice and hurry to go. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

It turns out that this monk Dharma name Duyun, is the host of a mountain temple, his temple is in the deep mountains, separated from here by a mountain, called Lingyan Zen Temple, usually there are few pilgrims, most of them are some literati and scholars to visit more, among them he has a friend, when his master is still here, he often came to talk to him about Buddhism, and later after his master passed away, and he also talked very much, who knows that yesterday this person actually sent someone to send a letter, saying that he has died soon, the only last wish is to cross the clouds to give him a surplus.

Du Yun was also very surprised to hear the news, although this person was more than ten years older than himself, but he was only about forty years old after all, and he didn't hear of any illness on weekdays, how to say no, it wouldn't work, and asked the person who came, only said that it was a sudden violent illness, and the group of doctors restrained their hands.

In any case, when Duyun heard the news, he immediately set off in the middle of the night, starry night, wanting to see his friend again before he died, and to see what he could do his best.

Duyun hurried in the middle of the night, and only crossed a mountain in the morning, who knew that he encountered this again, delayed most of the day's trip, at this time it was close to dusk, his heart was anxious, and he immediately urged the internal force to hurry up.

After an hour or so of driving the mountain road, it was already dark, and Duyun finally reached the top of the mountain, and faintly saw the lights in the valley, which was where his friend lived.

Duyun hurriedly descended the mountain, and after going down the mountain, he walked up an avenue, and walked along this avenue for about half a mile, and then he saw a gate, which was surrounded by high walls on all sides, and only this gate could enter and exit, and it seemed to be a mountain villa. The black veil was hung on the door, and the monk secretly shouted that it was not good, I am afraid that my friend is no longer alive.

There was an arrow tower on each side of the gate of the villa, and the guards on it saw a monk coming in the middle of the night, and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

The monk looked up and shouted, "I came here on the orders of Chen Jingsong and Chen Shizhu... Could it be that he has..."

"Alas... The second owner of the village has gone this morning, is there anything he called you to do?"

"To tell you the truth, the poor monk has some friendship with the benefactor, and before he died, he specially instructed someone to call me to come and spend it for him!"

"In that case, wait for me to report to the owner!" After that, he got off the arrow tower and ran towards the village.

After a while, the family came back and said to him, "Go back, the monk said, everyone is dead, and there is no need to do these things."

"But this..."

"Don't say it, let's tell you the truth, the owner of the village is playing with you on weekdays for the second owner, angry, you leave as soon as possible, there is no good fruit for you to eat when you turn back." ”

"That being the case, I have taken my leave!" The monk knew that the Chen family was sad in their hearts, and it was useless to say more. So he bowed deeply and went back the way he came.

When he climbed the mountain again in the middle of the night, it was already dark, the clouds were closed, and then he looked back at the mountain villa, which was still brightly lit, and he thought that he was entrusted by his friends to run day and night, but he could not fulfill his friend's last wish, and he couldn't help but feel sad, but he also thought that the Dharma is boundless, and the souls of the dead must enter the homes of the deceased and recite the sutras with a group of novices in front of the dead? Realizing this, his heart was relieved, so he patted the dust on his body, straightened his clothes, sat down on the spot in the direction of the villa, and sincerely recited the "Jizo King Bodhisattva Honto Sutra".

At that time, there was no sound on the mountain, the black was terrible, the silence was terrible, and occasionally there were one or two animals calling out, but the monk was at peace in his heart, only caring about chanting, as if everything was nothing to him, I don't know how much time passed, only three jackdaws were heard crying, the monk looked up, only to see the dark clouds dissipate, a bright moon shining on the earth. I don't know if it's a spirit in the heavens or a friend in the ground, feeling this transcendent power, this round of bright moon shining on Duyun's body, I only feel that the law is solemn and happy.

Just when the monk was overtaking Chen Jingsong, on the avenue under the mountain, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and a person rode a horse at a gallop, and he saw that he was in front of the village, and he could only hear someone shouting, "Little Liu, open the door!"

Xiao Liu was patrolling on the arrow tower, muttering in his heart that tonight would not be peaceful, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, his heart was nervous, and he heard the voice of the comer, and then he was overjoyed, and shouted "The girl is back" and quickly turned around and went down to open the door.

It turned out that the person on the horse was Chen Suqing, who was separated from the monk, a day ago she returned from a long trip, and met the old housekeeper Chen Zhong in a town closest to Zhuangzi who was buying funeral supplies, and was puzzled, and asked only to know that his second uncle was about to die, and hurriedly rushed home, I wanted to take a shortcut, who knew that when I arrived in the woods, I accidentally met a bandit, and I saw that I had delayed most of the day, and my internal strength was damaged, although I took the pill, but I couldn't afford to hurry for a long time, so I bought a horse nearby, and went around into the valley from the outside, so I didn't meet the monk Duyun along the way。

"Dad..."Chen Suqing shouted all the way to the mourning hall, and Chen Jingfeng, the owner of the Chen family, hurriedly greeted him when he heard the voice, and shouted, "Qingniang, you are back, Chen Zhong came back in the evening and said that you should have arrived a long time ago, I was worried about you! If you don't come back, I will go looking for you!"

"Don't mention it, I knew I was back with them, it should have been in the morning, who knew something was wrong. ”

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, how could the second uncle suddenly die of illness!"

"Alas, it's not sick, it's killed!"

"Ahh

"Well, it's for that, they're getting bolder. Chen Jingfeng said in a deep voice: "Alas, Qingniang, your marriage can't be delayed any longer! Last time my father told you about it, you left a book and ran away without a word, you are too bold, I haven't punished you yet!"

"Daddy... I..."

"I'm too busy today, I really can't take care of you, I'll talk to you carefully in two days!" Chen Jingfeng waved his hand like his daughter and said, "Go see your second uncle."

"Yes..."When Chen Suqing heard this, he followed his father into the mourning hall, only to see everyone in the mansion gathered here, crying and crying, and making a mess.

"Eldest sister, you're back!" I saw a young woman kneeling in front of the hall with a middle-aged woman, the young woman was elegant and elegant, full of spirits, if Chen Suqing is the spiritual grass in the mountains, juanxiu is light, radiant and moving, it is a rare beauty in the world, then the woman who came out at this time can be said to be the bright moon in the sky, not only beautiful, but also has an extraordinary aura, even if there is a fairy Shu in the world, it must be nothing more than that.

This person is Chen Suqing's sister Chen Subing, and the middle-aged woman is the aunt who has just lost her husband, and she is already crying at this time.

When Chen Suqing saw her aunt's appearance, she couldn't help but feel sad when she thought that her uncle didn't have a boy and a half girl, and she couldn't help but cry when she thought that her uncle treated her like her own father on weekdays.

Chen Jingfeng was also sad when he saw his daughter's appearance, and he felt sorry for their youngest daughter's family, which was also a waste of chaos here, so he said to Chen Subing

"Bingniang, let's go rest with your sister, you don't need you here!" asked another maid to support her brother and daughter-in-law.

"Alright then, Dad, you have to be careful with your body. ”

"Well, you guys go back. ”

"Sister, let's go!"

Chen Subing pulled her sister's sleeve, she saw Chen Suqing crying, her heart was also sad, and she didn't know how to persuade her, so she had to pull her silently next to her to show comfort.

Chen Suqing looked at her sister, wiped away her tears, held her hand, said goodbye to her elders, and went back with her.
