296 ins and outs
After Liang Jian looked at it for a long time, the ghost replied in a daze: "No." ”
After the text message was sent, it was like sinking into the sea, and there was no response for a long time. Liang Jian waited for a while and didn't reply, then put his phone aside and went back to his room to rest.
I just lay down when I suddenly heard my mobile phone ringing outside. Liang Jian walked out and saw that it was Mingyue calling.
Liang Jian hesitated with his mobile phone until the sound stopped, and he didn't pick it up. Liang Jian thought that Mingyue would not call if he called one, and was about to turn around and go back to the room when the phone rang again.
Liang Jian picked it up.
Mingyue's voice sounded a little hoarse on the other end, and asked, "Did it bother you?"
Liang Jian replied, "No." Then he asked, "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Mingyue replied: "Aren't you the same and haven't slept yet?"
Liang Jian didn't ask. The two held the phone, and after being silent for a while, Liang Jian was about to hang up the phone, when Mingyue suddenly said, "Do you want to go to see the sunrise?"
Liang Jian was stunned for a moment and asked her, "Where are you?"
Mingyue said: "I said I was downstairs in the hotel where you lived, do you believe it?"
"I don't believe it. Liang Jian replied.
Mingyue snorted and said, "You're not fun." ”
Liang Jian replied casually: "That's because I didn't want to play with you!" Mingyue was silent. Liang Jian took a look at it and understood that there was something wrong with what he said.
So he changed the subject and asked her, "You just said to watch the sunrise, where are you going?"
"You agreed?" Mingyue was a little surprised, "Then I'll pick you up." See you downstairs in ten minutes. Mingyue hung up the phone after speaking, this hot appearance is really not like the previous two contacts.
Liang Jian frowned, put down his phone, and was a little stunned.
To go or not to go?
He went anyway. In order not to attract attention, Liang Jian found a casual dress that he didn't often wear. He was stunned for several minutes when he found this casual suit, so when he got downstairs, he was late.
Mingyue drove a white sports car, which was very eye-catching. She sat in the car, saw Liang Jian, and immediately beckoned Liang Jian to sit in.
Liang Jian was not polite, after sitting in, Mingyue looked at him and said, "You are much younger in this suit than you are in a suit!"
Liang Jian didn't answer her words, and his mood was still immersed in the discomfort when he saw this outfit just now, and he couldn't extricate himself. Mingyue saw that he was in a bad mood and didn't talk much. As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the car shot out like an arrow with a buzzing sound, and Liang Jian was so inertial that he pressed the whole person on the back of the seat, and it took a while for this feeling to disappear.
But with such a stimulus, Liang Jian came back to his senses. He glanced at Mingyue in surprise, the woman drove so fiercely, he really hadn't seen it much.
At this moment, the speed of the car is not 18, at least 16. Because it was late at night, there were no cars on the street at all, so it was okay. Liang Jian's subconscious may also want to release it, so he didn't stop it.
The car drove all the way out of the city, and when it left the city, it headed east, and then followed the road to a low hill outside the city. The mountain is not high, but the view is good. The car drove along the winding road all the way to the top of the mountain. There is a large platform at the top of the mountain, and there is a temple of considerable size in the center of the platform. The lights in the temple were already on, and a novice was holding a broom to sweep the leaves and dust on the platform by the light of the day. When I saw the car coming up, I stopped.
Seeing Liang Jian and Mingyue get out of the car, he waved towards Liang Jian and Mingyue from a distance, and continued to sweep his ground. Liang Jian looked at the thin novice, and suddenly thought, at his age, but living such a day, does he really not yearn for life under the mountain at all?
Mingyue saw Liang Jian looking at the little novice in a daze, and suddenly said softly: "Most of the novices here are orphans. A few were also sent by families who were too poor to support themselves. The abbot of this temple used to be a calligrapher, and then went to Shaolin Temple to become a monk, and when he was fifty years old, he stayed here after a wandering. Now twenty years have passed, and time is really fast!"
Liang Jian turned his head in surprise, looked at the emotion on Mingyue's face, and asked, "You seem to know a lot about this place?"
Mingyue smiled slightly and said, "I grew up here!"
Liang Jian was taken aback and looked at Mingyue in disbelief. Mingyue smiled indifferently and said to Liang Jian: "Let's go, the sunrise will take about an hour, I'll take you to meet the abbot!"
Liang Jian followed Mingyue and entered the gate of the temple. Inside the gate, the building has a quaint atmosphere, but unlike other temples, it does not have any luxurious taste.
Mingyue took Liang Jian to go around the back of the main hall in front of him, bypassing the main hall where the monks lived. The lights in most of the rooms were already on, and some of the rooms were already full of people, many of them were young novices, and some were middle-aged monks, but not many. When these people saw Liang Jian and the others, they were stunned at first, and then after seeing that it was Mingyue, the older ones greeted Mingyue with a smile and called her Miss Wan.
Liang Jian thought that Mingyue had told him before that he could call her Wanwan.
Soon, Liang Jian saw the abbot in Mingyue's mouth. According to Mingyue, this abbot should be in his seventies. But he looked only about sixty years old, and his bald head was shining under a simple electric lamp. Seeing Mingyue, the abbot was obviously surprised, and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?" and then looked at Liang Jian, squinted slightly, and said, "It turns out that there are still distinguished guests, please take a seat." ”
Liang Jian and Mingyue sat down opposite the abbot.
After chatting with Mingyue for a few words, the abbot set his eyes on Liang Jianjian and said, "Secretary Liang, are everyone in the family okay?"
Liang Jian was stunned for a moment, it was not very strange for the abbot to recognize him, but listening to the meaning of his words, it seemed that they had met before. Liang Jian couldn't remember when the two had met, so he asked, "Have we met before?"
The abbot smiled slightly and said, "It should have been more than thirty years." ”
Liang Jian was shocked again, if he said so, he almost saw it when he was very young. Liang Jian looked at the person in front of him in surprise, imagining his identity. Needless to say, Liang Jian has changed a lot in the past 30 years, but this person recognized him as him at a glance, what does this mean?
In an instant, Liang Jian was a little more vigilant about the person in front of him. The abbot kept smiling, amiable, and couldn't see any hint of attack.
Liang Jian looked at Mingyue again, there was no wave on her face, and she didn't seem to be so surprised by this matter, as if she had known it for a long time.
If that's the case, then Mingyue is probably not so simple to lure him here today.
After thinking about it like this, Liang Jian became more vigilant.
The abbot seemed to see the vigilance in Liang Jian's heart, smiled, and stood up and said that he was going to go to the morning class and went out first.
As soon as he left, Liang Jian asked Mingyue: "You specially brought me here, don't you really just come to see the sunrise?"
Mingyue asked him rhetorically, "Otherwise?"
Otherwise, Liang Jian couldn't think of a reason.
Mingyue stood up and said, "I'm going to listen to the morning class, are you going?"
It was not suitable for Liang Jian to sit here alone, so he followed.
The morning service was held in the main hall at the front. The originally empty hall was full of people. There were about twenty novices, and seven or eight middle-aged monks, and the abbot was the first to do it.
Liang Jian and Mingyue went in, he didn't raise his eyelids, he sat with his eyes closed, and he didn't make a sound. As soon as Liang Jian and the others sat down, he began to chant the sutra, and then the people below also chanted.
The bright moon also joined together and chanted the scriptures. Liang Jian didn't, but he was a little rude when he looked around, so he closed his eyes and closed his eyes. I never thought that in this faint sandalwood, under the sound of the ear, my heart suddenly calmed down.
Liang Jian didn't know how long he had been sitting, and he enjoyed the feeling of being empty. Suddenly, someone next to him pushed him, opened his eyes, the morning class was still continuing, Mingyue looked at him, and whispered: "The sunrise is about to start, let's go out." ”
Liang Jian followed Mingyue out, and sure enough, the sky had already begun to turn red.
Mingyue led him to find a big stone by the platform, and the two of them climbed up and sat quietly waiting for the sunrise.
The red of the horizon, from light to dark, and finally, it was like it was about to burn, and then the sun finally appeared.
The two watched in silence, neither of them speaking, until the sun was completely out of the horizon. Mingyue stretched and said, "I used to sit on this big rock every morning and watch the sunrise, but I haven't seen it for many years. The sunrise here is still the same as before. ”
Liang Jian was a little curious about Mingyue's life experience, but this was a private matter, and Liang Jian was not easy to inquire. After a few words of chat, the two went in to say goodbye to the abbot and left the place.
Mingyue sent Liang Jian to the place where he was about to arrive at the Taihe Hotel, and Liang Jian asked Mingyue to park. When he got out of the car, Mingyue handed over something and wrapped it casually in a newspaper.
Liang Jian asked, "What is this?"
Mingyue said, "The abbot asked me to give it to you." ”
Liang Jian didn't want to accept it, but Mingyue said, "The abbot said, this is originally your thing." ”
Liang Jian couldn't help but be curious and took it. Mingyue stepped on the accelerator, and the car left. He took his things and returned to the hotel, just when he met Yang Wan, who he hadn't seen for a few days, he was a little surprised when he saw Liang Jian in casual clothes, and asked, "The secretary is so early?"
Liang Jian nodded: "I can't sleep, go out for a walk." ”
After finishing speaking, Yang Wan suddenly asked, "Why haven't I seen Nishang and Auntie in the past two days?
Liang Jian stopped, nodded and replied, "Yes, they are back in Beijing." After speaking, Liang Jian thought of Yang Wan's care for Nishang before, and said again: "Some time ago, thank you for helping to take care of her." ”
Yang Wan glanced at Liang Jian, and there was some indescribable meaning in his eyes: "Secretary Liang said so, and he saw the outside." Then go and take a break, and I'll let the kitchen prepare breakfast for you. ”
Liang Jian nodded. He walked to the elevator, and she looked behind.
Liang Jian stood in the elevator and turned around, she was still standing there, looking at him.
Back in the room, he looked at the one that Mingyue gave him wrapped in newspaper, the size of a palm. Liang Jian hesitated for a moment, opened it, and there was a wooden box inside, and when he opened the wooden box, there was a round jade the size of a copper plate wrapped in velvet, and there were no holes on it, but there were words.
Liang Jian looked carefully, but he couldn't see it clearly because of the wear. Liang Jian studied for a while, but didn't find any famous hall, so he put it away first, planning to go to that temple in person and ask the host when he was free in the future.
