12. Heart knots

The sunset converges and hides behind the mountains, and the full moon rises, shining like water, all over the earth.

Looking at the moonlight outside the window, and the candles in the house, Shen Huan closed his eyes, slowly cleared his thoughts, and focused on meditation - the old man's body footwork during the day, punching hard.

The red candle burned an inch, and she opened her eyes, with a mixture of joy and cunning, for she heard familiar footsteps and stopped at the door.

Gu Cheng didn't understand why he came at first, but he knew that he was impetuous tonight, sitting under the lamp, and never turned a page for half a day; Laying out the paper and pen, a white jade arm suddenly appeared in front of him.

I sat up in shock, my heart was chaotic, and there was a faint soreness and pain, like being pricked by a needle.

Zen Buddhism has a method of receiving the Tao, and Gu Cheng feels that he urgently needs a slap in the face at this moment. He came to Shen Huan in the hope that she could use her body as a stick to remove the demon obstacles in his heart.

Or take the hosta hidden in your arms as a guide, and after delivery, you can eliminate all the demons.

After chatting for a few words, Shen Huan's eyes were bright, Gu Cheng avoided his edge, his eyes were deflected, and he placed a hosta on the table, and his tone was sparse, "Your birthday is coming, this is for you." ”

The shape of plum blossoms is delicate and chic, and the jade color is lingling.

Holding it in his hand and looking at it for a moment, Shen Huan calmly thanked him, raised his hand to pin it into his hair, and asked calmly, "Is it good-looking?" ”

The eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he reluctantly raised them, looked at them, and hurriedly lowered them, "It's good-looking." ”

Shen Huan couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect the third brother to remember my birthday." ”

"The household registration reads," Gu Chengying said, "On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, the days are easy to remember." ”

After her birthday, it was his turn, Shen Huan knew that he was born at the end of September. It's just a month away, but it's two solar terms, just like the deviation in their temperament, she is as strong as midsummer, and he is as moist as early autumn.

"I also have something to give to the third brother." She smiled, her voice low and tactful.

A buzzing sound sounded in his head, Gu Cheng was at a loss, and said to himself, "Send me?" ”

Shen Huan calmly, took two steps back, and waited until he finally looked at her puzzled, then he suddenly clamped his legs inside, calmed down, and threw a punch, which collapsed like an arrow, with a turning momentum, just like a snake, and like a ring gun in marksmanship.

Chic and vigorous, with the aura of enlightenment, in a moment, the evil spirit in Gu Cheng's heart was dispelled cleanly.

"This is the collapse of Xingyi, you actually realized it." He couldn't help but admire, "You are really talented." ”

After speaking, I felt that something was wrong, "Are you meeting someone?" On the rivers and lakes? ”

Shen Huan didn't answer, leaning on the table, his posture showing a charm, "I know you're not necessarily interested, but I'm just practicing for you." You also say that I have a good understanding, isn't it a good thing? The sage also said that you have to draw inferences, and I did it, and you should be happy for me. ”

It depends on where this insight is ultimately used. Gu Cheng sat still, looking up at her, "The sage didn't say anything, he wanted to go all the way to the dark." ”

Shen Huan smiled, "I'll talk to you about martial arts, and you're talking to me about something else?" As like as an apple to an oyster. "So you can't listen to all the words of the saint, he himself has no place in the troubled times, and that set of things is only suitable for governing the world." Third brother, don't you say? ”

In terms of speech, Gu Cheng knows that he can't compare to her, and he is not an opponent when he talks about crooked reasoning.

Gu Cheng's smile was astringent, "I know I can't stop it, but there are some things, when you are older, maybe you can see a little bit, and it's not too late to make a decision at that time." ”

He gave her a decent life and a decent identity, in fact, just to wait for the day when she eliminated her resentment. Stability and comfort will polish a person's will.

Shen Huan's smile gradually retracted, his eyes were light but firm, "Third brother, my business, I will carry it myself in the future, and it will not affect you no matter what." ”

Gu Cheng frowned, "What words?" You are my family, my sister! ”

Standing up, his heart beat like a hammer, completely different from the irritability when he came, but he was still irritable, "I can't help with your business, but I won't push." If you really get into trouble in the future, I'll help you carry it. ”

A man's promise is like a mountain, but before it is fulfilled, it is just a heavy load on himself.

There are times when there is silence, it is useless to dwell on this matter, Shen Huan smiled and retracted, "Third brother, you should be twenty-one this year, right?" ”

Gu Cheng nodded, not understanding why she suddenly asked this.

"Don't think I'm talking too much, you're not young, it's time to start a family," Shen Huan paused, "You don't think about it yourself, and your wife will think about it sooner or later." ”

These words came out of her mouth, and Gu Cheng just wanted to laugh, "My wife is sick, and I don't have the heart to think about this." ”

"What about you?" She followed.

Gu Cheng shook his head, "I didn't think about it, and I didn't have the interest to think about it." ”

"Why, isn't that a bad thing?" She was interested and asked, "You have always been a filial son, and you are the only one left in the family, so you should have planned for the sake of someone in the future." ”

Gu Cheng's heart was empty, and his voice was tired, "My affairs may change in the future, and I can't figure out where the road is." ”

Stopped talking, laughing and laughing at himself, "I'm not a filial son, I don't have any energy in my heart, and I can't get over it for three or five years." I've already compromised once and don't want to compromise again so soon. ”

Looking at the good-tempered person, but he was still stubborn in his heart, Shen Huan smiled, "Nacheng, Ming'er, I will go to the temple, pray for my wife, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless her body." ”

Gu Chengxiao asked, "Do you still believe this?" ”

"Mrs. will believe it," Shen Huan said, "I am asking for her." ”

nodded, that is, yes, Gu Cheng told him to be careful of the crowds, and walked out of the Westinghouse with his hands behind his back.

Puji Temple incense is vigorous, because it is located in the city, pilgrims are like clouds all year round, not only the Beijing teacher, but also a lot of people who come to worship the Buddha from other cities.

Shen Huan intuitively felt that what the old man said should be such a temple. In other words, the master of the world should hide in the most noisy place in the red dust.

The morning bell and dusk drums, going back and forth to the major halls for a whole day, until the golden wuxi slope, the drum beat melodiously, and Shen Huan has not yet found the person he wants to see.

She is not in a hurry, anyway, it won't be today, there is tomorrow, as long as she says where she wants to go, Gu Cheng will never say a word, this is their tacit understanding, knowing that he will agree, she will still sue him 1510.

The monks in the temple have begun to prepare for the evening class, and the little novice is tidying up the futons in the temple. With the last wave of incense, Shen Huan entered the tail hall and looked up at the Maitreya enshrined in the hall.

The difference between Puji Temple and other temples is that Maitreya here is not a hedonistic appearance that can accommodate things in the world with a big belly, but a loose clothes and hair, dressed as an ordinary scholar, with a clear face, with a bitter face, and the bitter appearance reveals supreme compassion and infinite mercy.

Looking down at the world, the world is complicated, so Maitreya will have sorrow, only sadness.

But there are also people who don't take such compassion seriously, Shen Huan's eyesight is good, and he has already caught a glimpse of it, among the people who bowed in front of the Buddha, a thin and inconspicuous thief stretched out two fingers, gently tugged, and hooked the woman's money bag next to him.

Silently, no one noticed, perhaps except her.

The thief succeeded, got up and ran quickly, and met her head-on, and sure enough, he was born from his heart, with a thief eyebrow and a mouse face.

Shen Huangang wanted to be nosy, and a fat monk staggered in at the main entrance, with a body like a mountain and a belly as big as Luo, blocking in front of the thief, and no one gave way to the other party several times.

It's easy to dodge, scold secretly, and walk away. The fat monk stepped in, stayed in front of the Buddha for a moment, and walked towards the hall.

Look at the woman who was stolen, the money bag was firmly tied around her waist, and the two straps were put together, and it was a dead knot.

With such a fast speed and such a fast technique, Shen Huan didn't see it clearly, after thinking about it, a smile spread to the corners of his lips, and there was nowhere to find it when he stepped on the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it.

After nightfall, everything is quiet, there is a wind blowing on the face, and you don't feel hot and dry. Shen Huan, dressed in black and covered his face with a black cloth, jumped off the wall of the backyard of Puji Temple, found the residence in the temple without much effort, and quietly walked to the door of one of the rooms.

After the evening class, she went to the roof and saw the fat monk returning, and knew which room he was living in.

Occasionally, there is a rustling of the wind, and the moon and stars are scarce. After a pause, a lamp lit up in the room, and in the light of the fire that was clearly extinguished, a voice was as pure as a mountain spring, "There are guests here, please come in." ”

Shen Huan smiled, nudged the door, and then closed the door with his backhand.
