Withering felt that perhaps he had done something wrong. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he was a young man, he also walked down the mountain with his master, but the mortal dust he saw was full of people who were struggling with sorrow. After that, he never thought about going down the mountain again.

Time is like a horse, and decades have passed in a flash.

He never thought that one day, he would also encounter this problem: emotional barriers are everywhere, and the quiet place of Buddhism will also be dyed with that trace of peach.

On that day, he ordered someone to bring the woman, and wanted to teach her to show her original form and wake up the abbot who was being bewitched. Later, he moved out of his senior brother, further widening the gap between the two.

I thought that if the senior brother came, this situation would be under control. But unexpectedly, the abbot had been so fascinated by the demon girl that he didn't recognize him.

Huh——

Thinking of the current situation, Wither couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart, and the wrinkles on his face wrinkled even tighter.

The sky was sinking inch by inch.

Silence finally opened his eyes, did not look back, and ordered: "Please abbot come down the mountain." ”

There is a candlestick in front of the Buddha in the hall, but the candle flame is not very bright, and the shadow of the big Buddha is sufficient, there are bright and dark.

After a long night, he entered the main hall, and sat cross-legged on the vacant futon at the signal of silence.

The door of the temple was slammed shut.

The last thing I saw was that the not-so-bright candle flame flickered slightly, and the shadow of the Buddha elongated and fell to the ground.

The outside of the hall was white.

Withering stepped on the snow and walked towards the wing house not far away.

I don't know how long the night conversation between the senior brother and the abbot lasted, but he couldn't rest assured, so he simply waited in the side room.

This is the whole night that passes.

It wasn't until the morning bell in the temple rang that the dull door opened again.

The tired senior brother was the first to walk out of the temple gate, followed by the long night with a blank face.

He didn't know the outcome of the night talk, and he was worried that the situation would go in the worst direction, so he didn't dare to ask, but he just diverted the question and said that breakfast had been prepared.

Silent but waved his hand, and commanded in a sluggish tone: "Open the mountain gate~"

The withering has not yet reacted for a while. The mountain gate of the national temple is the main gate of the national temple, except for the day of the lecture and the ninety-five honorable people to come, it has always been closed. Today, when there are no noble guests of blood, and it is not a day of preaching, why do you suddenly open the mountain gate?

Puzzled, he was stunned and didn't move.

"Please go with the big offerings. ”

Silence added.

Hearing this, I understood a little that this mountain gate is not the other mountain gate. The mountain gate mentioned in the silence refers to the double small stupa tower gate. Several major offerings are also perennial seclusion to Zen and do not see outsiders, unless there is a major event in the temple. After understanding a little bit, Withering became even more confused. Good and dignified, what are you doing when you open the mountain gate?

The worshippers are all eminent monks, and they are the most important hidden connotations of the national temple. If it weren't for the fact that he had cooperated with his senior brother who was the abbot to manage the National Temple for many years, I am afraid that I would not know that there is still such a group of people in the National Temple.

"Senior brother, this ......"

Withering also wanted to ask clearly, who would have expected, Withering coughed suddenly.

He was already old, and coupled with the rapid travel in the wind and snow all the way in three days and the night of exhausting night talk, his old bones were already overwhelmed.

Long Night stepped forward to support the master, but Silence did not refuse.

Seeing this, he could only suppress the doubts in his heart. Seeing the appearance of the senior brother and the abbot, it didn't look like a quarrel, so he put down half of the heart that had been hanging and went to invite a few worshippers to go to the double small pagoda.

When he invited the people one by one, he saw his brother sitting on a futon with his back to the crowd.

For some reason, the withering suddenly gave birth to a sense of time trance.

When he was in his twenties, he once accompanied his master and brother into the double small pagoda once.

In fact, the double small stupa is very simple, except for the thousands of dharma images carved on the wall that stretch from the bottom of the relics stupa to the top of the tower, there is only a wide stone pagoda in the middle that digs out countless small boxes, and each small box in the stone tower is placed with the bones of a monk who has passed away. Under the top of the treasure cover, the Buddha bone relics of Bodhidharma, the founder of the National Temple, are enshrined.

The whole double small stupa looks a little short under the backdrop of the major magnificent hall stupas in the national temple, and there is still a little gray and shabby from the stone pagoda wall with some cracks outside. But this does not mean that the twin small stupas are not important, in fact, it is the most solemn and sacred place in the entire national temple.

Although the gray tower was short and tight, there was only an old monk who was almost unable to walk with a half-bald broom and snoozed in a tattered quilt in the small stone hut at the bottom of the steps.

When he entered the tower for the first time, he was stunned by the dazzling myriad of dharmas for a long time.

The lifelike dharma extends throughout the tower. The engraving below is large and solemn, and the higher the engraving, the smaller and denser the law is, but the eyebrows and even the arrangement of the flesh bun on the head are clearly visible. This exquisite skill is in stark contrast to the cracks outside the tower.

In addition to making the withering feel solemn, there is also the devotion that unconsciously gushes out from the depths of the heart - I am willing to serve the Buddha with my body until I am exhausted and die without regrets.

At that time, he followed his master and accompanied his brother to pay tribute to the ancestors who passed away.

Later, Master also became one of the thousands of boxes on the stone tower. He followed his senior brother again, and that time, the person who paid tribute was not the forerunners of the national temple with blurred faces, but the master who had been with him for decades.

Several of the major offerings are all long-bearded and white-eyebrowed, and their faces are full of indifference and compassion that they have seen through the world.

"I don't know what happened to me today?"

Mingxin, one of the six major offerings, was the first to ask.

"It's for the survival of the national temple. ”

As soon as the silent words fell, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of several worshippers with indifferent and compassionate faces. The national temple is now in full swing, why do you say this?

Kuan guessed a little, and couldn't help but sink in his heart, and his face changed greatly: "Senior brother~"

He wanted to say something, but was stopped by the silence.

"The abbot of the thirty-seventh generation of the National Temple moved his heart privately at night, and went out of the mountain gate according to the law as a cane to set an example. ”

Silent announced in a waveless tone.

Several worshippers couldn't help but look at each other. This...... This has never happened in the history of the temple.

"I wonder what the abbot has to say about this?"

There was a solemn worshipper who asked for a long night without saying a word.

"The long night has been entrusted with it, please allow the disciple to return to the world. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several worshippers suddenly became very exciting. Extinction is also a big jump. Except for the dull silence who knew in advance and shook his head faintly, the rest of the people looked incredulous.

"Abbot, you ...... You...... Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Long Night knows. ”

Suddenly, there was silence in the twin small pagodas.

After listening to the long night and the silence explain everything, the solemn offering to the dry silence said.

"Please allow me to deliberate for a moment. ”
