On this day, Xia Bizhu just didn't need to inspect the store, and followed An Su and He Xiangnuan to Dajue Temple. www.biquge.info She is a materialist, and she is purely here to play.

As a tourist attraction in G City, the parking lot in the temple is also very large, but on holidays, I usually feel that the spacious parking lot is far from enough. At the entrance of the parking lot, the staff is directing the vehicles entering and leaving, and at a glance, the cars are densely parked, and you can imagine how spectacular the picture will be if you take aerial photography.

He Xiangnuan looked at the cars in front of them waiting in line to enter, and said to them: "It seems that it takes some time to find a parking space, you guys get off the bus first and wait for me here." ”

Ansu nodded, opened the door and got out of the car.

There were many people who came to burn incense, He Xiangnuan walked around the parking lot a few times, and finally waited until a car drove away before parking the car. As soon as he got out of the parking lot, he saw An Su and Xia Bizhu standing under the tree waiting for him, so he walked towards them.

Passing by the incense and candle shop, he was a little puzzled when he saw that they had no intention of buying incense candles. Ansu has often been in and out of the temple since she was a child, how can she not burn incense when she comes to the temple at this moment? He asked, "Why don't you buy some incense sticks?" ”

Xia Bizhu was silent.

Ansu shook her head.

He Xiangnuan smiled: "Come here to burn incense, so let's buy a handful of incense." ”

An Su smiled slightly: "No, each hall will have incense for pilgrims, let's just put the sesame oil money into the merit box after the incense." ”

This is a habit that has followed my grandmother since I was a child. The temple is on the mountain, there is no incense and candle shop in the village, and the grandmother rarely goes to the city in those days, and every time she goes up the mountain, she takes the incense in front of the temple, and then puts the money into the merit box.

He Xiangnuan smiled and nodded: "I rarely come to the temple, I don't know much, this is quite good." ”

For more than ten years, Ansu has never deliberately gone to the temple to burn incense, only occasionally when he travels to the scenic spots, there is a temple will go in to burn incense, and it is the first time to make a special trip like today. Ansu knew that the other two were materialists and did not have the habit of burning incense to worship the Buddha, so as soon as he entered the temple gate, he said to him: "You can walk around as you like, you don't need to accompany me, and we will meet here later." Before they could reply, she was already walking towards the hall of the Mahavira Treasure.

He Xiangnuan looked at An Su's back. After a moment, he heard Xia Bizhu beside him sigh lightly. He looked sideways, and she was also looking at Ansu's back, with a complicated expression on her face. This puzzled him, but he didn't think to explore, and moved his gaze to Ansu's direction again.

He Xiangnuan understands An Su's special feelings for the temple, and when she enters the temple, she is only willing to stay alone. But from the moment he met her, he didn't want her to be alone, and only wanted to be by her side as much as possible, even if it was just watching from afar. As long as she turned around, she could find that there was still a person behind her, not just her own shadow. So, he followed her from a distance. Xia Bizhu also followed him quietly.

He Xiangnuan didn't know that Xia Bizhu was a materialist, and asked her why she didn't burn incense.

Xia Bizhu replied with a sneer: "How many good people in this world have died in vain. If there are really gods and spirits in the three feet of the head, then why don't the gods and Buddhas in the sky bless good people? ”

He Xiangnuan originally thought that she would answer that she was a materialist, but he was stunned when he heard her answer, and what surprised him even more was Xia Bizhu's mocking tone.

The two didn't say anything anymore, just silently followed An Su not far behind.

In the same way as the habit of burning incense with his grandmother at Myoboji Temple, Ansu started from the Daxiong Treasure Hall and worshiped the Buddha all the way to each hall. Unlike other pilgrims, Ansu only worships the Buddha without any prayers, burns incense, worships and then leaves, and does not stay in any temple for too long.

Outside the Three Temples, He Xiangnuan stood in the corridor in front of the door, looking at the pilgrims who came to burn incense.

There are many pilgrims, men, women and children, young people often hold incense and bow to the Buddha, and there are only a handful of people like Ansu who bow down. When she saw the monk, she also folded her hands. He looked at An Su and followed the ritual, and thought: Is it influenced by the young man who has been determined to become a monk since he was a child? He looked back at Xia Bizhu beside him, only to see her looking at the empty corridor with a smile.

Puzzled, he asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

Xia Bizhu didn't retract her gaze, still looking at the empty corridor and said, "I seem to see a little girl and a little monk walking towards us side by side with a smile. ”

He Xiangnuan was stunned, and soon smiled again, knowing that she was imagining An Su's situation in the temple when she was a child. He was not surprised that Xia Bizhu knew about An Su's past. It's just that Xia Bizhu was puzzled by the relieved smile on his face at the moment. He didn't interrupt Xia Bizhu's imagination, and moved to the threshold by himself.

In the center of the three sanctuaries is the Amitabha Buddha, flanked by the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara and the Bodhisattva of the Great Trend. Chanting Buddha is the main practice method of the Pure Land sect of Chinese Buddhism, and Amitabha Buddha is the main object of worship in the Pure Land sect of Chinese Buddhism, and it is also the most recited Buddha name by Chinese believers. Even devout Buddhists often clasp their hands together and recite the phrase "Amitabha".

In the hall, after An Su bowed down to the three saints of the west, when he got up, he inadvertently saw the yellow paper densely pasted on the wall next to him. She knew it was the Lotus Rank of the Dead Soul. Believers in China all want to be reborn in Elysium after death. For deceased relatives, they often take a lotus seat in the temple, hoping that their relatives will be free from the sea of suffering and ascend to bliss as soon as possible. An Su thought that he would also take a lotus position for his deceased relatives, so he walked over there.

After asking the monk in charge of the temple, Ansu paid the money and wrote a few names on a piece of paper. She watched as the monk wrote the lotus position and pasted it on the wall. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw an extremely familiar name appear in the dense lotus position on the wall--- Shi Jingming. An Su's heart was shocked, thinking that he had made a mistake. If you look closely, it is indeed the three words "Shi Jingming". She suddenly leaned forward to take a look, and it read "Buddha Li Super Recommends the Lotus Position of the Pure Ming Passing Away". She looked at the bottom left corner and it read "Yang Shang Peng Dongjun Recommendation".

She kept telling herself that the little monk was still in the Miaofa Temple, but this lotus position told her mercilessly that she was deceiving herself. She never thought that her little monk would one day appear in front of her with such a name, and she reached out and rubbed the name on it, tears slowly flowing.

What He Xiangnuan saw was the back of An Su standing in front of the wall. I saw that the wall was full of yellow paper, what was that? He wanted to go up and take a look, but he hesitated for a long time but didn't go in.

Xia Bizhu came to He Xiangnuan's side, looked at An Su's back, looked up at He Xiangnuan, and finally returned to An Su, and whispered: "There should be someone to love her and love her." ”

He Xiangnuan was silent, still looking at An Su's back.

Across a threshold, the three people inside and outside stood in place. At this moment, their world is only what they see in their eyes, and what they only think in their hearts.

After a while, An Su came out of it, obviously looking abnormal, his eyes were looking straight ahead, there were vague tears in the corners of his eyes, and he didn't react when he walked past his friend. He Xiangnuan was stunned, and the hand stretched out towards her stayed in the air. He looked at An Su's back, then looked back at the wall covered with dense yellow paper, and found that Xia Bizhu was already standing in front of the wall. He turned and stepped over the threshold.

He stood where Ansu had just stood, his eyes searching the wall, and soon he saw the name. It was a name that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him, and he had only heard it a handful of times, but he had known it for fifteen years. This name hurts many people's hearts! After sighing faintly, he, a materialist, prayed sincerely for the first time to the lotus position of the Buddha Pure Enlightenment.

When he came back to his senses, he heard Xia Bizhu standing next to him sneering: "What is this?" ”

He Xiangnuan sighed helplessly. People who listened to the past were inevitably indignant in their hearts, in fact, He Xiangnuan was the same back then. But everyone has a time of helplessness, since this fact cannot be changed, then give a little love to the person who wanders in the dark.

He said to Xia Bizhu, "Let's go." ”

He Xiangnuan turned to leave, and just two steps away, he heard Xia Bizhu say to herself: "If I can, I am willing to take care of her for you forever." ”

These words sounded unspeakably strange to He Xiangnuan, but he didn't look back, so he didn't see the expression on Xia Bizhu's face at this time, and he couldn't imagine her inner torment, apologies, regrets, gratitude, and helplessness......
