After lunch at noon that day, the three of them went down the mountain to the island city with their backpacks. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoDue to the location of the East China Sea, there is no high-speed rail, so it is estimated that it will be night to take the train to the island city.

After the three of them left, Su Wen walked to the main hall and saw Decheng and the two monks of the Xingzi generation holding hammers and nailing something, and there were wooden planks and wooden squares taken from the construction site scattered next to them, as well as saws and other things.

After walking behind a few people and watching for a long time, and listening to a few people's words, I realized that a few people were making a small wooden boat, but if you make a boat directly with wooden planks like this, I'm afraid it will enter the water, right?

You must know that the wood must be selected to make a regular wooden boat, and then the gap is smeared with glue. Su Wen always felt that these three people were a little unreliable in making boats.

"Ahem." Su Wen coughed lightly.

"Abbot", the two lines of the word "abbot", the monk turned around, and when he saw Su Wen, he immediately got up and saluted.

Su Wen nodded, these two people are called Xingyu and Xinghui, both of whom are former monks of Lingshan Temple, and they came with Xingnan. However, these people have been in the temple for a short time, and they have relatively little contact with Suwen.

"The abbot is here." Decheng looked up and greeted Su Su with a smile, and then lowered his head to study his wooden boat. I stretched my hand to the side but scratched it empty, only to find that I had run out of nails.

"Senior Brother Deqin, this is?" Su Wen squatted down to help Decheng hand over a nail and asked casually.

"The lotus pond in our temple has such a good scenery, if you are rowing on it, it must be extremely pleasant. I want to make my own boat and try the feeling of boating on the lotus pond. Decheng took the nail and said with a smile.

"It's better to buy one, the price of the boat is not expensive, and the money in the temple can afford it." Su Wen said again.

"That's no fun, it's better to make your own." Decheng smiled heartily, extremely proud of his own wooden boat.

"But I don't think Senior Brother Deqin is familiar with this." Su Wen smiled faintly, Decheng is obviously a novice, and he actually made the shape of the bottom of the boat with two monks of the line of words out of wood, and then nailed the boat gang to both sides.

Although Su Wen has never been exposed to this, he feels that there are a lot of problems in it at first glance. Although making a wooden boat is not too complicated, it is necessary to know some basics. Looking at the appearance of these three people, they are all novices.

"The wind and waves in the pool are calm, as long as you can float up." Decheng didn't care at all about Su Wen's words.

Su Wen listened to Decheng's words, just smiled and got up to leave. Since Dechin likes it, let him do it. It's a big deal to see him build the boat, watch him launch the boat, and then watch him sink the ship.

Seeing Decheng's complacent appearance now, and thinking of his expression when the ship sank, Su Wen laughed.

Although the outside world thinks that all monks are similar, they are all pure-hearted and have few desires, in fact, the difference is also very large. Although I practice every day and dedicate myself to getting rid of the suffering of the world, I occasionally do something I like. Just like Lu Zhishen likes to drink and compete; Huaisu likes to write; Fahai loves to spend time with children; Dauchin likes to stare at others while they are doing things.

It is normal for Decheng to like to boat on the lake after making a boat.

Thinking about what Dao Yan said about his nickname at that time: Boat Monk, combined with his current behavior, it can be seen that he likes this very much.

As for Su Wen, he used to like to drink and chat with friends, but now these hobbies seem to be gone, and he just deals with things in the temple every day, and he doesn't know what he likes to do.

After laughing, Su Wen took this matter to heart, let them make the boat, and then come back to see it when they got into the water.

Su Wen looked at the construction site of the main hall under construction, and now three walls, or two and a half sides, have been erected, which is a large section higher than the original main hall. The original main hall occupies a corner, and each wall is a monastery, and the location of the original main hall is stopped. Construction could only be continued after the original main hall was demolished.

Now the construction site is doing some things that need to be carved, and when these are ready, the main hall will be demolished to reduce the time for the mountain to be closed.

It is estimated that the mountain will be closed for another month.

After looking at the construction site, someone happened to report that two monks came here with letters.

After asking Suwen, I learned that it was from Qixia Temple and Caotang Temple. At the beginning, Venerable Dharma Xiang and Venerable Hongyuan said that they would send monks to study Zen Buddhism and go back, and it seems that they sent them.

Su Wen asked the two to be brought to the guest hall, while he waited for them in the guest hall.

That is, the time before and after the feet, Su Wen sat down in the guest hall, and Xingsong brought two people in.

"I've seen the abbot." The two people who came in, both monks in their twenties, first saluted Su Wen, and then took out the letter from his bosom and asked Xingsong to deliver it.

Su asked the abbot to open it personally.

Su Wen took out the letter and read it, just like he thought, which meant that he wanted two disciples to go to the Pure Heart Temple to learn Zen Buddhism.

That's all there is to the Dharma Minister's letter, and at the end of the letter is a question about the Buddhist Association. Although he knew that now was not the right time, and the Pure Heart Temple had just gained a foothold, he was too old to wait too long.

After reading the letterhead, Su Wen put it away, and first asked the two, "What do you call the two of you?" ”

"Little Monk Huachen" "Little Monk Hengchuan"

Su Wen said gently to the two: "Then you can stay in the guest hall first, I will arrange for someone to tell you about my Zen Buddhism, and then if you have any questions, you can ask the master in the temple, and you can also ask me." ”

"There is a fixed time for teaching in the temple, and I will ask you to make a table of the time when I go back."

"Thank you, Abbot." After the two answered in unison, they were taken down by Xingsong to arrange.

After the two left, Su Wen thought for a while before leaving the guest hall.

It's still a little too early for the Buddhist Association. The Pure Heart Temple still has to develop for a period of time, and after its influence is stable, it is convenient to come forward to promote this matter. If it is revealed to the Taoists now, I am afraid that they will find a way to stop this, and then it will be a little troublesome.

At the current rate of development of the monastery, I am afraid that it will take as little as three years or as long as five years.

Judging from the body of the old master of Hongyuan, there is no problem in holding on for another six or seven years.

After Su Wen left the guest hall, he met Gu Zikai, Wei Buxian and Miaozang, all carrying packages.

The three of them came to resign on purpose.

In fact, the three of them could have left a long time ago, but the three of them were all raised by Confucianism since childhood, and their parents can be said to be teachers or other positions in Confucian colleges.

But now several people have called and asked a few times at home, and a few people can't drag it out, so they stubbornly asked to say goodbye after discussion.

"Be careful on the road." Although Su Wen didn't know the specific situation of the three of them, he could guess a little bit seeing that they hadn't left for so long. Therefore, he instructed the three of them: "If there is anything to do, you can call the temple." ”

In any case, the three of them are also Dharma protectors in the temple now, and if there is any problem, the temple will still find a way to help them solve it.

The three of them nodded, said goodbye to Su with a serious face, and left.

Su Wen always felt that the back of the three of them leaving was a little heavy, and going home was like going to the execution ground.

Even Miaozang, a girl who has always been bold, is like this, but it's rare to see her quiet. Every day, he always opens his teeth and claws, beats Gu Zikai and Wei Bu from time to time, he obviously looks weak, but he has a very tough character.

Seeing the three of them leave, Su Wen also deeply felt that there are many things every day, and he is trapped in all kinds of complicated things every day, and he can't get a moment of purity.

But now that the temple is just on the right track, he can't let go of his hand for a while. Although many things have been divided after the division of the temple, there are still many things that need to be dealt with by him. Every day is like this, and he also needs to consider the development of the Pure Heart Temple in the future, and pay attention to Taoism from time to time, which gives him a headache.

Fortunately, it seemed that there was nothing else to do today, so Su Wen came to the steps left by the lotus pond and walked down, and sat on the steps to relax.

As soon as his feet were put into the water, the slightly mild pool water soaked his feet in them, making him feel a lot more comfortable.

After only sitting for a few minutes, dozens or hundreds of swimming fish swam to Su Wen's side, and from time to time a few small fish gently touched the soles of Su Wen's feet, making him a little itchy.

"Puff" A palm-sized koi jumped up in front of Su Wen, splashing with water droplets and sparkling in the sun.

Soak your feet in the water for a while, then take them out and step on the steps, and when they are dry, they wave at the swimming fish in the pool and turn away.

And the moment he turned around, dozens of fish jumped up from the water, and Su Wen, who heard the sound, turned around and saw dozens of fish in the air, and immediately smiled, and waved his hand behind him.

As soon as he took a step, he thought about Master Decheng again, turned his head to the water and smiled: "If Master Decheng wants to go boating in a few days, you should stay away." ”

He burst out laughing.
