Lin Dong stared at the inscription on the ancient well in front of him, and where he could touch the tentacles, he seemed to be able to feel the vicissitudes of history and the longevity of the age.

"Master, what's engraved on this?"

The old monk smiled: "This is the word Li, no wonder you don't recognize it, it is engraved with the three characters of Changshengquan." ”

Lin Dong smiled and bowed, "Changsheng Spring, it's a very appropriate name. Master, this well looks a little old, I don't know when it was built? ”

The old monk smiled and said: "Donor, this matter is a long story, if you have time, you can follow the old man to the back of the Zen monastery to talk about it." ”

Lin Dong said: "Master, then I will bother, please lead the way." ”

The old monk bowed slightly, walked out of the dilapidated temple, and led Lin Dong to the Zen courtyard behind. Although the temple is large, there are only three monks, so there are only a few meditation rooms. Lin Dong followed the old monk to the west wing, and the old monk pushed open the wooden door and invited Lin Dong to enter for a detailed discussion.

As soon as I entered the wooden door, I smelled a faint fragrance, although it was faint, but it seemed to have a strong magic, fresh and elegant, refreshing, so that people could never forget this elegant fragrance after smelling it.

"Master, what spices do you put in this meditation room, it smells so good." Lin Dong couldn't help but ask.

The old monk pointed to a pot of wild chrysanthemums on the windowsill, "Donor, the fragrance you smell is the one emitted by this pot of wild chrysanthemums." ”

Lin Dong walked to the front of the windowsill and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Master, isn't this the wild winter chrysanthemum that can be seen everywhere in our countryside, how can this flower have such a good fragrance?" ”

The old monk smiled: "Yes, the normal wild winter chrysanthemum has no aroma, but my pot of wild winter chrysanthemum is watered with the water of the eternal spring, so the aroma is much fresher and longer than the ordinary wild winter chrysanthemum." Donor, the humble house is shabby, I hope you don't dislike it, please sit down. ”

Lin Dong sat down on a wooden stool in the house, and a pot of hot water was boiling on the stove in the old monk's room. The water vapor spewed out of the spout, and the sound of boiling water in the pot could already be heard.

"The water is boiling, and the old man will pour you a glass of water." The old monk scooped a small bamboo cup and poured a cup of hot water for Lin Dong.

"Master, please tell me about the history of our temple." Lin Dong said with a smile.

The old monk said: "Speaking of the big temple, it can be traced back to more than 1,200 years ago. There was a prince in the Tang Dynasty who fled Kyoto in order to take refuge. I came to this place and became a monk in this place in our Sanyin City. After local officials knew he was royal. Don't dare to slack off, allow him to choose a piece of land to build a Buddhist temple. The man traveled all over the state capital, and then chose this place. The local governor gave money to build this monastery for him. After the temple was built, the royal family opened a well in the temple we had just visited, and the water coming out of that well was hot all year round. The royal family has been a monk here for more than ten years. was able to save his life, and later the clan fought, and the powerful eunuchs welcomed him back to the court and supported him as emperor. ”

Lin Dong groaned slightly, "It won't be Tang Xuanzong, right?" ”

The old monk nodded with a smile, "You're right, it's Tang Xuanzong, who was called Little Taizong in history." ”

Lin Dong still had a mystery in his heart and asked: "Since it is the Tang Dynasty, why is the inscription on the ancient well engraved in Han Li?" ”

The old monk said: "I once found the notes of my predecessors in the collection of books in the temple, but they have not been verified. The old man did not dare to draw conclusions. ”

Lin Dong said: "Master, if you say it in vain, I will listen to it, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

The old monk said: "As mentioned in the notes of the predecessors, the well actually existed for a long time, but it was buried, and it was the ancient well buried underground that Tang Xuanzong found after he came here to be a monk, so he borrowed the name of opening the well. The ancient well was excavated and brought to light again. ”…,

Lin Dong sighed: "Hey, Xuanzong must have a pair of wisdom. Otherwise, how can you discover the Fountain of Eternal Life? ”

The old monk pointed to the bamboo cup in front of Lin Dong, "Donor." Taste my tea. ”

Lin Dong took a sip of it, it was as sweet as spring water, with a faint fragrance, "Master, is this the water from the Immortal Spring?" ”

The old monk nodded, "Donor, you guessed right. ”

Lin Dong said: "Master, I've been bothering for a long time, it's time to leave." I have a request, also ask the master to approve it. ”

The old monk said: "Meeting is fate, what does the donor want, but it doesn't hurt to say." ”

Lin Dong said: "I want to bring back a small bottle of water from the Immortal Spring, is that okay?" ”

The old monk glanced at Lin Dong and said with a smile: "Although the Immortal Spring is in the big temple, it doesn't just belong to the big temple, if the donor needs it, he can get it himself." ”

Lin Dong clasped his palms together and bowed, "Then thank you master, kid farewell." ”

The old monk made a gesture of please, "The old man won't send it." ”

Lin Dong walked out of the meditation room, quickly walked towards the dilapidated temple where the Changsheng Spring was located, and when he arrived at the door, he thought that he was in a hurry to come over, and he didn't even have a vessel to hold water, and when he was hesitating whether to go back to the meditation room to ask the old monk for a vessel, he saw a dilapidated clay pot in the temple, and thought to himself, just scoop this clay pot for water.

He first drew some water from the ancient well and washed the crockpot, then poured half a jar of water into it, hugged the crockpot and hurriedly walked towards the gate of the big temple.

When he arrived at the door, he suddenly saw Wang Donglai standing next to his car sneakily.

"Wang Donglai, what are you doing!" Lin Dong yelled at him.

After Lin Dong stopped in the morning, when he got out of the car, he was seen by one of the people surnamed Wang who went to Liulinzhuang to rob people on the Chinese New Year's Eve. The man hurriedly ran to tell the Wang family father and son that they had suffered Lin Dong's loss, and seeing that Lin Dong had fallen behind, he planned to gather a group of people to beat Lin Dong.

Wang Guoshan resolutely objected, his reason was very simple, if Lin Dong was beaten, none of them would be able to escape, and if they entered the police station again, Liu Sanming didn't know what more cruel methods would be used to torture them. Wang Guoshan said that Liu Sanming had been bought by Lin Dong's money, and now he was an obedient dog, so he must not have a head-on conflict with Lin Dong.

Wang Donglai knew that what his father said was reasonable, but he just couldn't swallow this breath, so he secretly came out of the house and came to the temple to find trouble with Lin Dong. When he got closer, he saw that Lin Dong was not in the car, so he wanted to knock down the sign in front of Daben, and just went to find a good guy, he was bumped into by Lin Dong who came out of the temple.

"The surname is Lin, do you still dare to come to the town, aren't you afraid that I will find someone to beat you?" Wang Donglai came alone, and when he saw Lin Dong, he was very scared, and the place where he was kicked by Lin Dong in the chest is still faintly painful.

Lin Dong walked quickly to the car, saw Wang Donglai holding half a brick in his hand, and sneered: "Cripple, are you going to scoop up half a brick and smash me or smash my car?" ”

Wang Donglai plucked up his courage, "Whoever makes Lao Tzu unhappy will smash whoever Lao Tzu is!" ”

Lin Dong took a few steps forward, walked up to Wang Donglai, and sneered: "Cripple, Lao Tzu is in front of you, do you have a kind of smashing it on me?" ”

Wang Donglai trembled, his heart was horizontal, and he was ready to pick up bricks to smash Lin Dong, but when he saw Lin Dong's glaring, his legs were weak with fright, and he couldn't hold half of the bricks, so he fell from his hands and hit his feet, so painful that he screamed.

Lin Dong put the crockpot into the trunk, and Wang Donglai saw it, "The surname Lin, if you steal the things in the temple, aren't you afraid that the Bodhisattva will kill you?" ”

Lin Dong said: "Wang Donglai, I don't want to clean you up, hurry up and get out of here, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you!" ”

Wang Donglai was thinking about slipping away, but when he thought of Liu Zhi'er, his heart was full of anger, "Lin Dong, I want to talk to you!" ”…,

Lin Dong already wanted to get in the car, but when he heard this, he turned around and asked, "What do you and I have to talk about?" ”

"Do you want to talk about willow branches?" Wang Donglai said.

Lin Dong said: "Okay, let's talk, you say." ”

Wang Donglai said in a deep voice: "Lin Dong, I'm Chinese New Year's Eve today, I'm a cripple again, I finally got a wife, I beg you to let go of my family's willow branches, let her come back." I can't fight you, I'm not as good as you, can't I admit it? Let me go! ”

Lin Dong said: "Wang Donglai, if Liu Zhi'er is willing to follow you, I will never force it, if she is not willing to follow you, it is useless for you to say anything." ”

Wang Donglai cried with a sad face, "Before you came back, the two of us had a good life, why didn't she want me as soon as you came back?" It's all your fault! Lin Dong, you robbed other people's wives, you are too immoral to do this! ”

Lin Dong didn't want to mess with Wang Donglai, "I still have the old saying, Liu Zhi'er is willing to follow you, I will never obstruct it, Liu Zhi'er is not willing to follow you, I will help her to the end." I don't think you can do anything to you because you don't have a good leg, otherwise I would have knocked you to the ground just because you wanted to smash my car just now. Wang Donglai go home, if you want to negotiate, your father will negotiate, you are not calm. ”

Wang Dong watched Lin Dong's car go away, picked up the brick and threw it over, but it was only about ten meters away.

Lin Dong drove around the town, there are several places in the town that are very suitable for opening a restaurant, but the best location is the place where Luo Hengliang's house used to be. The place had been demolished, and the houses were half built. He stopped and looked at it for a while, and there were more than a dozen houses in a row, all of which were three-story buildings, and I don't know who built them. If the owner of this house is willing to sell, Lin Dong is willing to buy it all.

He thought that Luo Hengliang might know about this, so he thought about going to Luo Hengliang's house to inquire about this matter, just to have lunch. got into the car and drove to Luo Hengliang's house in the east of the town. When he got there, Lin Dong saw Wang Guoshan basking in the sun outside, he hadn't seen him for a few days, and the old man seemed to be older, with a thin body and coughing from time to time.

"big, are you at home?"

Lin Dong walked to the door and shouted.

Luo Hengliang's coughing voice came from the house, "Dongzi, why are you here?" ”

Lin Dong smiled: "it, I have no place to have lunch, so I can only come to you." (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
