Su Wen had seen Jinglian and saw his current situation, so he immediately had to find a car and send him back to Jingxin Temple directly.
Although the long journey is not very suitable for Jinglian's current situation, it is impossible to stay here any longer.
As long as he arrived at the Pure Heart Temple, Su Wen was confident that the situation of the Pure Lotus would improve.
Even if the pure lotus has reached the end of his life, Su Wen can also exchange the fruit in the Hall of Merit to extend his life for one year.
"Xinghui, look for a car, be more comfortable, and take the old master back to the Pure Heart Temple. Su Wen commanded.
"Yes!" Xinghui hurriedly replied, a happy smile on her face.
"Wait!" the woman said suddenly.
is still dressed plainly, which is completely different from other flower street women. The appearance is clear and delicate, revealing perseverance, and it seems to be a little more mature compared with last year. If other people saw her, it would be hard to believe that she would be begging for a living in Flower Street and Willow Lane.
This woman seems to be only good to Jinglian, and she is not very kind to other people, so it is the first time since Su Wen came in, but she is blocking Su Wen.
"The female donor can rest assured that the situation in this temple is more suitable for the old master to recuperate, and at the same time, there are several medical masters in this temple, which are not worse than those famous doctors. Su Wen thought that the woman was worried, and hurriedly comforted her.
"That's not the thing. I've heard of Pure Heart Temple, and it seems to be quite powerful. Send him there, I have nothing to worry about. The woman shook her head.
"Then what's the matter?" Su asked, wondering, not knowing what the woman was trying to say.
"Can you wait a while before leaving? Actually, there are still many people who remember him, but he is not in a good condition now, and they are not good to bother. Every night he would ask me about the master. If the master is leaving, then I don't know if he will come back. The big guy is sending him off, okay?" the woman said softly.
Although Su Wen had only met this woman once, he remembered that she was a very tough woman. Hearing her speak so softly, she also understood that she was afraid that Jinglian would not have a chance to come back in the future, so she wanted to send him off with others.
"Is noon okay?" asked Suwen. If you drop off at noon, then drive straight to Jingshin Temple, you can get there before midnight.
"Okay!" the woman hurriedly replied, "He will trouble you to take care of it, and I will inform them." ”
Jinglian didn't stop her beside her, and only after she left did she ask Su softly, "I don't know if I have any life to come back." I've been here for decades and want to see them again before I leave. ”
Su Wen nodded: "The old mage will recover, this temple is a good place to cultivate the body." ”
Jinglian smiled: "Sounds really good. I, at this age, am reluctant to die. ”
Su Wen was silent at first, and then sighed softly: "The master is reluctant to those people. ”
Then he suddenly remembered that he hadn't introduced it yet, so he pulled Xingshen down to his side and said to Jinglian: "This is the disciple Xingshen of this temple, and he is also a rising star." If the old master has a heart when he arrives at the temple, he can teach more of these disciples. ”
"They are all good seedlings. Jinglian looked at Xingshen and exclaimed.
Xingshen was also very happy to hear Jinglian's words, but he still said, "The old mage praised me like this, but it made me panic. ”
Su Wen said on the side: "What are you afraid of? The stone is a stone no matter how much others praise it, and the gem is still a gem no matter what is wrapped on the outside, as long as you keep yourself, you can listen to what others say." ”
Xingshen hurriedly said, "Understood, abbot." ”
Seeing that Su asked the disciple there, Jinglian smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a year, and your cultivation is even more profound." ”
Su Wen smiled: "I haven't made much progress in cultivation, and I haven't figured out some things enough." ”
He was referring to what he figured out a few days ago, that he had the habit of keeping everything in his heart and not revealing it, and thinking about many things first.
After thinking about this matter, he seemed to have stripped off a mask, and his personality became more and more direct. And many times, it is more severe, such as reprimanding Xingshen, he would not have done such a thing in the first place.
But despite this, it made the disciples in the temple feel closer.
Su Wen originally thought that there would be dozens of people who came to send the pure lotus.
Jinglian has been walking here for decades, and he has seen many people coming, how many people leaving, and dozens of old people coming to see him off, which is already very popular.
But the situation in the morning surprised Su Wen.
An hour after the woman left, people began to come to visit Jinglian one after another.
There are nearby residents, who are over half a hundred years old, just like the kind believer that Jinglian once brought Su Wen to send to the Pure Land. It feels very peaceful and religious.
"Master, if you are not here in the future, we have doubts and we don't know who to turn to. Hope you get well soon and come back soon. ”
"I'm not here, you can call me. Jinglian said to Shanxin with her body propped up. Then he turned his head and asked, "Do you have a phone?"
Su Wen smiled: "Of course there is." Now that they all use the Internet, you can also use the Internet to teach them the Fa, and then I will let my disciples teach you. ”
"That's a good feeling. I've wanted to learn it for a long time, but I don't have much of a chance. Jinglian smiled.
This sentence made everyone sad again.
There are those shopkeepers in Flower Street, wearing Tang costumes or undershirts, pot-bellied poop, and, dressed in bewitching clothes, forty or fifty of them came one after another.
Many people brought gifts to Jinglian, some were a pair of shoes, some gave him a gown, and there was nothing of value, because they knew that Jinglian would not accept anything valuable.
One of the white and chubby old men took out a plum from his pocket and handed it to Jinglian: "My grandson gave me food, I didn't give it up, I saw that you were leaving, so I gave it to you." ”
Jinglian took it and said, "Then I'm not welcome, don't feel distressed." ”
The old man bared his teeth. He also said: "I've known you for decades, and when I first came here, you were quite strong, and you ran to the door of my store every day to give me lectures, which made me afraid of seeing you." Later, after a long time, I got used to it. You're leaving, I'm reluctant to do it. ”
Jinglian said: "Your family is rich and rich, your children and grandchildren are filial, and you have everything you should have, which is a great blessing." Do more good deeds in the future, and continue this blessing for a longer time. ”
"I know, I know, I've sponsored students in several mountain villages in the past few years, which can be regarded as a good deed, right? I just haven't told you, I just want to hang you. The old man said.
The crowd was stunned at first, then laughed.
Those who are familiar with the surroundings know that this old man dislikes to listen to Jinglian's remarks the most, and he has always felt very stubborn. I didn't expect him to listen to it a long time ago, but he was afraid that others would know about it, so no one would say it. Now that Jinglian is leaving, he confides in.
Jinglian smiled even more happily: "I said it a long time ago, you are a blessed one." ”
These people all said a few words to Jinglian, and then went to the courtyard to chat with the previous good believers.
There were also forty or fifty women who were in charge of the skin and meat business in the shops one after another, and although they saw that Jinglian had different attitudes, their eyes were full of concern.
And Jinglian saw that each of them had to say, "Good boy." ”
In his heart, they are really all very good children, but they have embarked on a different path for various reasons.
More than a hundred people came, more than 100 of them alone, shopkeepers, and women who were engaged in the leather and meat business, much more than Su Wen expected.
And after that, other people came one after another, all on the street of Flower Street. There are the above three kinds of people, there are also small merchants and hawkers, and a few are the landlords of the shops on Flower Street, who usually don't live in this neighborhood, and they hurried to come when they heard that Jinglian was leaving.
Many of them saw Pure Lotus when they were very young, and when they grew up, they came to know Pure Lotus. Whether they believe in Buddhism or not, the pure lotus occupies a very important position in their hearts.
When it was almost noon, there were several men in their thirties, among whom the leader had big shoulders and round waists, and the few in the back were not good.
Seeing them coming, many of the people who were chatting stopped talking and looked over.
"Old Monk Jinglian is inside, right?" asked the man in front.
It was half loud when someone nodded.
Many people recognize this man that the gang of people in Huajie is a bad guy, and he usually does a lot of bad things, and he once used bricks to open a prostitute for Jinglian because of some things. Later, he was warned by many people, and he didn't dare to trouble Jinglian again.
Now that Jinglian is leaving, I don't know what they are going to do.
Those people entered the room and ignored Su Wen after seeing it, and turned their eyes to Jinglian in the back, bypassing Su Wen and coming to Jinglian's bed.
"I didn't expect you to be so sick. The man said.
Jinglian looked at him and smiled: "When you are old, you love to be sick." ”
The man looked at Jinglian for a while, and suddenly gave himself a slap in the face.
"Smack!"
It was so loud that the naked eye could see that the man's face was red and swollen on one side.
"At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I just came to Flower Street and opened a scoop for you. Later, when I learned what you did, I admired it very much. It's just that I can't hold my face and don't dare to come to see you. Once, when I was sick and had no money to buy medicine, my brothers came out to find a way, and in the end, you gave me dozens of dollars to buy the medicine.
When I come back to life, I'll try to get a few hundred dollars for them to send to you, and you won't take it. If you don't accept it, I won't have the face to look at you, and I will retreat when I know where you are. Thinking of your dozens of dollars, let me retreat, you earned it.
However, this is not the taste in my heart. Now that I know that you are leaving, I think that if I don't come to see you again, I will not have a chance, so I will come and apologize to you and express my gratitude. ”
"People, always fighting for that breath. Now that you have put this breath down, it means that you are mature, and you will be a good person in the future!" Jinglian said with a smile after listening to the man's confession, but there were tears in her eyes.
watched these children grow up from their youthful and ignorant appearance. Even if they do something wrong, Jinglian still looks at them with a tolerant eye and treats them with a kind heart.
This child has always been one of his worries. Now seeing that he said what was in his heart to himself, Jinglian finally put her mind at ease.
"That's all I've had for the rest of my life. The man said subconsciously. However, looking at Jinglian's expectant gaze, he finally said, "I'll give it a try." ”
After the man finished speaking, he didn't stay long, and said, "I'm staying here, and I guess they won't be happy." I won't send you. Take care of your illness and come back if you have the chance. ”
Su Wen didn't speak since the man came in, and after he left, Su Wen sighed: "Compared with the old mage, the poor monk is really far inferior. ”
There were more people coming later, but they began to decrease.
Those who received the news first almost immediately rushed over. Therefore, there are many people in the front, but there are few people in the back.
At this time, there were more than two hundred people outside.
Su Wen looked at the time, estimated that the time was almost up, and said to the old master of Jinglian, "Let's set off now." ”
Jinglian nodded: "Let's go, when I see them, I don't have to worry about them anymore." ”
The car was already parked there outside.
Xinghui carried the Pure Lotus on his back, and Xingshen carried the items of the Pure Lotus, and walked out of the house.
The people outside never left, even though it was noon, and everyone was already hungry.
Even if there is a dinner or something else, they all put things aside.
For them, sending off this old mage who will dedicate his life to Flower Street is the most important thing now.
Seeing a few people out of the house, the people who were still talking stopped and looked at Jinglian on both sides of the courtyard.
"Take care of yourself and have a chance to come back. A shop owner said.
"Take care of your retirement there, don't come back if you have nothing to do. The other shopkeeper immediately said the opposite.
These two sentences are the words of everyone's hearts.
On the one hand, I hope to see Jinglian again as soon as possible, and on the other hand, I also hope that he can live in the Pure Heart Temple and not go back to suffer here.
"Old Monk Jinglian, take care!"
"We'll read the scriptures when you're gone!"
"There was time to write to us. ”
"Master Jinglian, thank you, I probably wouldn't want to live without you. ”
"Thank you for never giving up on us!"
……
A sentence came from the hearts of everyone, and it came into the ears of Su Wen and others and Jinglian.
Jinglian was behind Xinghui, looking at the people standing in the courtyard all the way to the gate, her eyes gradually began to moisten, but she always had a smile on her face.
These are the harvests he has gained here for decades.
These people, these voices, have recorded his bits and pieces in the past few decades.
If he could, he really wanted to stay here any longer.
Sentient beings, sentient beings, can cross one is one.
It's a pity that I'm old, and my body can't hold on anymore, and if I stay here, I'll become a burden to others.
"Thank you!" When she arrived at the gate, Jinglian finally couldn't help it, and said this sentence in a trembling voice.
"It's because we thank you. Without you, Flower Street wouldn't be what it would be. ”
"Ever since I met you, I realized that there is hope in my life. ”
"Growing up, you were the only one who said those things to me. ”
"Knowing you is the treasure of my life......"
"Yes, knowing you is the treasure of our life......"
Many, many people said.
Listening to these words, Jinglian finally couldn't help it, and two lines of tears slipped from her eyes.
"I've finally accomplished something in my life. ”
Jinglian laughed in a trembling voice while shedding tears.
After Jinglian was put on the back of the car and looked at them through the window, the car began to move slowly.
"Knowing you is the wealth of our life......"
Voices came through the car window.
Su Wen looked behind him from the car window, and his eyes were slightly moist.
