Standing in the cold wind and thinking about it again and again, Chen Chufan suddenly thought of the old monk in Guiyuan Temple. This is also an old friend who hasn't seen each other for a long time, and if it is arranged according to last year, this Longyuan master will soon go to New York, and I don't know when we will meet again.

What's more, it is a good choice for the teenager to chat with the old monk when he feels troubled. Or the old monk can really give him some ideas and help him solve problems. Although the time seems to be a little wrong now, the monks in the temple should have gone to bed, but Chen Chufan thinks that he is not going to worship the Buddha, but to visit friends, and he is also a close friend. Since you are a close friend, you must not be too entangled in the problem of time, right?

When you think of it, you do it. Chen Chufan immediately summoned a taxi that had been observed for a long time, and under the strange gaze of the driver, he sped towards Guiyuan Temple.

It is not the day to worship the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the first month, and it is already late at night, and the monks of Guiyuan Temple have naturally gone to bed. The whole temple looks quite solemn in the dark night. Coupled with the chaotic market next to Guiyuan Temple, it is also calm at this time, which adds a bit of solemnity and mystery to this thousand-year-old temple at this time.

If it was before he met Ye Feng, maybe even if there were many reasons, Chen Chufan would not be able to do the strange thing that disturbed people's dreams in the middle of the night. However, now Chen Chufan seems to be much more free, or much more shameless, standing at the side door of Guiyuan Temple, he directly dialed the old monk's phone.

Don't be surprised, as a dignified member of the CPPCC, even if you are a monk, you have to keep pace with the times. What's more, he is still an abbot and a great monk, and Master Longyuan already has a phone with him. It's a pity that the monk can't be equipped with a secretary, so the phone can only be held by the abbot himself, which also makes Chen Chufan a lot more convenient, at least he doesn't have to knock on the door in the middle of the night to wake up a group of bald heads.

The call really worked. The young man explained his intention, and after a while, he had a young monk in the temple. groped for the opening of the side door and welcomed Chen Chufan into the temple. Although the little monk didn't say much along the way, just a lot of strange eyes, but they were completely included in Chen Chufan's eyes.

The young man didn't say much, just flutteringly and secretly thought, the young monk in front of him was afraid that he would think of himself as some big man to visit the Guiyuan Temple at night, but he never thought that he was just a layman who was troubled by mundane things, and he simply came to visit friends.

I don't know if it's because of this kind of inauthentic thoughts, or the pure atmosphere in the temple, and the Zen incense that is absent. It actually made Chen Chufan more calm in following the steps of the little monk, and his mentality became more and more peaceful. When the young man realized that his trip to Guiyuan Temple in the middle of the night was really effective, the little monk had already brought Chen Chufan to the door of the old monk's meditation room.

The lights in the room have been turned on, and the shadow of the old monk in the room can be clearly seen from the eaves of the window, sitting somewhere in the room, with a round head, looking very festive.

The little monk knocked lightly on the door of the meditation room twice, and the old monk agreed softly, and then made a gesture of invitation to Chen Chufan. retreated quietly, and Chen Chufan unceremoniously pushed the door in.

"Master Longyuan, it's early!" As soon as he entered the door, Chen Chufan greeted him respectfully.

"Amitabha," the master sitting at the small table of the guests shouted the Buddha's name with a bitter face. Silently looked at the quaint little clock hanging in the meditation room, and said sincerely: "It's not too early for the monk at this time!" ”

"You are humble, a great virtue like you, I am afraid that at this time you should still be practicing the scriptures. Why not talk about it early? As he spoke, Chen Chufan closed the door again, walked to the opposite of Master Longyuan and sat down. is worthy of being a high monk, although he was disturbed by Chen Chufan's Zen dream. I poured a glass of water for the guests who came from afar and put it on the guest seat.

"Master Chen didn't make a joke about the poor monks, he suddenly came here in the middle of the night, but what's the matter?" The old monk smiled bitterly and shook his head, and got straight to the point.

"What the master said is not kind, just with the friendship between you and me, do I have to have something to do when I come to see the master?" Speaking of this, Chen Chufan took a sip of the tea in front of him, licked his mouth, and complained shamelessly: "Hey, it's really not kind, I can't even put some tea, and I directly take water to entertain distinguished guests, am I so unpopular with you?" ”

"Amitabha, don't play monk Chen! In the middle of the night, it's time to rest, where to drink tea? Master Long Yuan shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"Okay, clear water, clear water! Hey, don't hide it from the master, I can't sleep when I drink tea or not! Chen Chufan finally began to introduce the topic, and there was a trace of bitterness on his face.

"Oh? Chen Shizhu's casual person, why would he be so troubled? Master Long Yuan asked.

"Hey, I told the master, master, don't laugh at me!" Chen Chufan sighed and begged.

"Master Chen laughed again, how can a monk have such courage to laugh at you, a Buddhist body and an invulnerable protector in the temple?" Master Long Yuan quipped.

Chen Chufan didn't care about the tone of the old monk in front of him, and began to pour out with a bitter face.

"Don't hide it from you, Master, it is the child's private affairs that annoys the kid. Originally, I had a good girlfriend before I went abroad. I also secretly swore that when I went abroad and had a chance, I would marry her when I came back. By the way, I brought Xiaoxi to see you, you should remember, right? ”

"Well, of course I remember, a very handsome little girl! Could it be that there is something wrong with the relationship between Master Chen and that Han girl? Master Long Yuan replied.

"No, listen to me first. Who would have thought that after I went abroad, I met another woman, and inexplicably she seemed to like me, and she had nothing to say about me. But I already have Han Xiaoxi, so naturally I can't accept her feelings anymore. But when I chose to return to China, she followed me back to China! ”

"And when I return to China, Xiaoxi must let me pursue a friend in one of her bedrooms. I used to know this girl, and they said they wanted to be my girlfriend together, but in the end she backed down! But in the end, with the help of Xiaoxi, she still agreed to live with me and Xiaoxi in the future! ”

Chen Chufan said this, and when he looked up, he found that the expression of the old monk on the other side became more and more exciting with his expression, his eyes were wide open, his eyebrows were raised high, and he was stunned to prop up his originally round head into a square. He paused for a moment and asked, "Master, is there anything wrong?" ”

Master Longyuan was silent, and only after a moment did he reply blankly: "It's nothing. Donor continues! ”

"Oh," Chen Chufan responded, and continued to confide: "It's good to be like this, but it shouldn't be, this time I went back to country M, and by chance, something happened to the girl I met in country M. It's just that this matter has been hyped up by those unscrupulous media, and everyone knows about it! Hey, this happened, but I can't be irresponsible. Xiaoxi's girl. has already forgiven me, but Xiaoxi's honey friend is a little incomprehensible and refuses to pay attention to me, the kid is distressed! What's even more distressing is that even if the three of them figure it out, what should I do? It's a headache, Master, you have to teach me. ”

As soon as Chen Chufan's voice fell, the meditation room returned to silence. Master Long Yuan didn't answer, just hung his head silently. Sips, sipping the water from the teacup.

was silent for nearly three minutes, but Chen Chufan couldn't help but speak again: "Master, I'm begging you to solve your doubts, you are here!" ”

Master Long Yuan clearly showed a thoughtful expression. After a while, a sentence popped up: "Amitabha, just listen to what the donor says, and you will know the donor's life outside the square." It's really exciting, well, it's really wonderful! ”

"Are you sarcastic about me? Or perfunctory me? The boy sincerely asks for advice. You don't give some advice, but you don't even want to comfort you, it's chilling! Chen Chufan said embarrassedly.

"Opinions?" Master Long Yuan was not moved by the resentment in Chen Chufan's words at all, but showed a thoughtful look again, and after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and said: "It's better for Master Chen to shave in this temple, although the old man is not talented, he is also willing to personally preside over this shaving ceremony for Lord Chen." Cut off your three thousand troubles and concentrate on cultivating in this Guiyuan Temple, these thoughts of mundane things and children's affection will naturally gradually go away from the donor, and you don't have to worry about these mundane things anymore! ”

The meditation room fell silent again, and this time it was replaced by Chen Chufan's face with a wonderful expression. How frustrated must this old monk in front of him be to come up with such a idea? Knowing that there are three charming little girls who need to take care of themselves, they actually persuade themselves to convert to Buddhism and become monks? This is a hundred times worse than Yang Tao's goods, and he really didn't find out that the old monk was a wonderful person like a talent.

"I said Master Longyuan, are you serious?" Chen Chufan said in an unkind tone.

The old monk is an outsider, but he is not a sophisticated person, so he can naturally hear the deep resentment in the young man's words, and he can't help but smile bitterly, habitually shouting the Buddha's name, and replied: "Amitabha, little donor, if you ask the old monk this kind of question, the old monk can only give you this kind of idea." Don't hide it from the donor, I am 50 years old this year, and I haven't even touched a woman's hand since I converted to Buddhism at the age of 8, what advice do you think I can give you? ”

Master Longyuan's words made the young man wake up from the entanglement, and the chagrin in his heart disappeared in an instant. Indeed, in the face of the great monk in front of him, he just talked about it, could he really get any answer from the old monk? On how to make Ye Siying change her mind? Nima, monks are not allowed to fall in love. As for how to marry three at a time in the future, Nima, the monk can't even marry one!

Didn't you hear from the master? They are all old men who have lived to the age of fifty-eight, and they have not even touched a woman's hand, this is not crazy, this is pure, a hundred times purer than the white clouds in the sky!

So the young man's heart was smooth, his anger was gone, and even the depression caused by Ye Siying's incomprehension disappeared. People, the most afraid of comparison. The old monk's words made the young man who had already tasted the forbidden fruit feel that he had an inexplicable sense of superiority in front of this master. even had a trace of sympathy for the master of Longyuan in front of him, he couldn't hold back for a while, and even comforted him, "Master, you mourn!" ”

……

A few minutes later, Chen Chufan was standing outside the gate of Guiyuan Temple. This was the first time he was kicked out of the temple by the old monk, but he only felt extremely comfortable, and his depression and decadence were also swept away, and he only felt that he was full of expectations for the future and the motivation to struggle. Even the big signboard hanging on the temple was much more pleasing to the eyes of the young man at this time.

Sure enough, it's a Buddha who has crossed the world! The Buddha is really reliable, don't cheat! The boy thought cheaply. He only felt that this trip to Guiyuan Temple was simply worth it. Not only relieved his troubles, but also regained his confidence, from a spiritual level, Buddhism is really a good thing.

He stopped for a moment at the gate of Guiyuan Temple. The young man with his heart in his heart put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the road with easy steps. It's late at night, and it's hard to find taxis in the alleys.

……

It was already three o'clock in the morning when we got back to the hotel.

As soon as Chen Chufan opened the door, the door of the next room opened at the same time. The old cannon's head poked out, "You can count it back, it's so late, and the phone is turned off again, but it freaks us out!" ”

Although they were very annoyed by the self-assertion of the two of them, and their private affairs were filmed and publicized in a video, but at this time, when they saw that it was already three o'clock in the morning, the two of them were still worried about themselves and did not fall asleep, coupled with the good mood gained from the old monk, Chen Chufan was reluctant to put on a face at the two at this time. just replied sullenly: "What else can I do with such an adult?" It's just to visit friends, but you should hurry up and rest, you have to catch a flight tomorrow! ”

"Hehe, when you come back, we will naturally be able to sleep peacefully! I'm going to get up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, so let's get some rest! After the old cannon confirmed that it was Chen Chufan, he smiled and shrank back.

Chen Chufan shook his head, and his mood improved. Sleepiness also hit, and after a simple wash, he fell into a deep sleep.

……

Chen Chufan did a good job of keeping his trip secret, and when he rushed back to Hong Kong Island, he didn't alarm any media and fans. also allowed Chen Chufan to meet Mrs. Chen, who came to pick up the airport, at the first time.

"Why did you turn off your phone again last night? I called you all night and couldn't reach you! As soon as they met, Mrs. Chen opened her mouth to complain.

"The phone is out of battery, and there are some personal matters to deal with to go back to the hotel, so it has been turned off! Is there anything urgent? Chen Chufan said casually. It's not that he sincerely deceived Mrs. Chen, but just told Mrs. Chen truthfully that he was dating a beautiful woman yesterday. I don't want to be disturbed, some of it is too shocking.

"No matter how urgent it is, it's not in a hurry to delay it now. Let's get in the car and talk! Mrs. Chen said angrily. However, Mrs. Chen's suggestion is obviously correct, with Chen Chufan's current fame and appeal, if he doesn't move quickly, if he is recognized, it will be difficult to get out.

Fortunately, on the one hand, because no one expected Chen Chufan to suddenly go to the mainland, on the other hand, Chen Chufan was still dressed as a spy, but he arrived in the parking lot inside the airport without alarming anyone.

"Yesterday the Korean island side agreed to your offer, but they added some more requirements, you need to learn some simple Korean by surprise, and you can do some simple interaction with the fans at the festival, you should be okay with this, right? If it's okay, I'll talk back to them later. As soon as she got in the car, Mrs. Chen began to talk about Chen Chufan's recent work.

"Huh, the people of Handao are really rich enough! Eight million dollars can't scare them. Well, it's not a big problem. If I have money to make, I will have a hard time learning simple Korean! Chen Chufan nodded and said quite magnificently.

"Then this matter is decided, the Korean island will probably be able to complete all the formalities the day after tomorrow, and we will set off for Handao the day after tomorrow. Our trip to Korea is four days, the first day is a contract, then you have a good rest, the second day is rehearsal, the third day is the live performance of the festival, and the fourth day we return to Hong Kong Island. Mrs. Chen nodded, took out a pen and quickly began to record Chen Chufan's itinerary.

"In addition, the contract of General Motors in country M is almost negotiated, and I think the endorsement fee of 11 million US dollars a year is more reasonable, and when we come back from Korea, they will send representatives to Hong Kong Island to sign a formal contract. There's a formal press conference back! After confirming the itinerary to Handao, Mrs. Chen continued to explain to Chen Chufan what he needed to do in the near future.

"Eleven million dollars? Well, not bad! Thank you, Mrs. Chen! Chen Chufan did not express any objections, although money is just a number to him, but he still bears the burden of earning two billion in three years, so naturally he will not be disgusted with too much money.

"It's not that easy to make money, and after signing the contract, you're going to shoot no less than five commercials for GM in the next year. Time to be determined, of course, I will try to communicate with them and choose a time when you are not so busy! Mrs. Chen reminded.

"I know that! Anything else? Chen Chufan nodded and continued to ask.

"Well, the central television station in the mainland wants to invite you to participate in a talk show on March 12, and my suggestion is that in view of the influence of the central television station in the mainland, you should agree to come down!" Mrs. Chen did not disappoint Chen Chufan, and sure enough, the itinerary was very full.

However, Chen Chufan hesitated for a moment about this suggestion and said: "Let's wait and make a decision, it will be decided so long in advance, I am afraid that there will be any emergencies at that time, and it will be bad if I can't go, let's talk about this!" ”

"Okay, let's put this one out for now." Mrs. Chen didn't continue to persuade anything, but just took a pen and recorded it on the form in her hand.

"Nothing else?" Chen Chufan asked.

"Yes, a lot, but it's all small things, many small businesses want to ask you for endorsement, and I have declined for you. According to your plan, after the contract with Universal expires, you will have to consider changing careers. I can't spend all your remaining time on commercials! Mrs. Chen said with infinite regret. (To be continued......)
