Chapter 41: A Dream of Huangliang
"Xu Dong, you just wait for me outside for a while!"
Mu Siqing thought that Xu Dong was going to go in with her, but she didn't want Xu Dong to see her true feelings, and when she saw Xu Dong staring blankly at the top of the temple, she felt relieved, thinking that Xu Dong could look at every temple "stunned", which saved her worry.
It seems that Xu Dong still has a rural atmosphere, and going to a new place is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden!
Xu Dong said "hmm" casually, his eyes were still staring at the top of the temple, and Mu Siqing waved his hand and went in by himself.
Xu Dong didn't care about what Mu Siqing said at this moment, his attention was completely attracted by the huge and incomparable treasure that came out of the top of the temple, and he was even more shocked!
With such a huge and thick treasure, what kind of treasure does it have to be to send out? Or is it too big to imagine?
Xu Dong was in a daze, and after a while, he looked around, the big patio in the temple was very quiet, no one could be seen, the sun was shining, and the temple and trees seemed to be covered with a layer of golden veil.
Mu Siqing had already entered the hall to talk to her uncle, and Xu Dong didn't think about going to "meet" her, it didn't matter if it was rude or not, Mu Siqing's uncle didn't speak anyway.
The allure of that treasure is too strong, Xu Dong doesn't want to "steal" or buy it, he just wants to see with his own eyes what this thing is like, I don't know what kind of treasure can emit such a powerful and thick treasure!
But since it is a precious treasure, presumably the person who treasures it will not take it out lightly and show it to others, and if he dares to ask someone to say that he wants to see this treasure, the other party is not even more strange and surprised How did he know?
Xu Dong thought for a while, thinking that it was better to forget it, the more precious things naturally became more tightly hidden, and he didn't want to look at this, so he simply didn't look at the direction of the entrance of the hall, and walked slowly to the eaves on the right side of the temple, just look at the scenery around this temple!
The walkway under the eaves is all made of hemp stone, Xu Dong is wearing a pair of rubber-soled sneakers, quietly, a huge patio yard, the ground is very clean, not even a leaf has fallen, I heard Mu Siqing say, this temple is her uncle and the old monk before, sweeping the floor is not a heavy job, but the ground is too wide, and it is not easy to clean, especially there are only two people in this temple!
The naturally formed sinuous stone dragon in the middle of the patio is still the same as it was seen when I was a child, but the stone body is more smooth, and I don't know how many people have touched it.
In fact, the stone dragon is only roughly similar in appearance, and it is not like the legend says, it has a head, a body, horns and feet, and it is roughly similar.
Xu Dong walked slowly along the stone path to the back of the temple, behind which there was a high courtyard wall, and there were several plots of land in the backyard, planted with crops such as green vegetables, cabbage, onions and garlic.
Seeing this, Xu Dong seemed to suddenly feel that the monks in this temple were very close to "reality", and they were also ordinary people, and they had to eat, drink and drink like ordinary people.
There is a stone table and two stone benches next to the vegetable field, Xu Dong walked over and sat on the stone bench, his hand lined his chin and pondered, thinking about the "treasure" in his mind, thinking about what kind of treasure it was!
In any case, Xu Dong couldn't imagine the appearance of that baby, and in his imagination, he only felt that the baby should be very big, I don't know if it was a tall golden Buddha statue or some other statue?
In the temple, it is very likely that this kind of "thing", in imagination, it seems that this is the only one in the temple that can be considered "tall", right?
While pondering, suddenly there seemed to be a faint, vague sound in my ears.
Xu Dong felt a little strange in his heart, there was no one else in the temple, it seemed that someone was talking "whispering" in the corner, this was really strange!
After listening to it sideways for a while, Xu Dong felt even more strange, this sound was like a monk "chanting", but it was as thin as a silk thread and could not be found, if there was none, it was impossible to hear which direction it came from!
"Strange!"
Xu Dong stood up, looking for it while looking for where this voice came from, but he couldn't find it from the sound aspect, but he thought that there was no one else in this temple except for the old monk and Mu Siqing's uncle, could it not come from the temple?
Glancing ahead, about to turn around and go to the temple, Xu Dong thought about it or forget it, this is very likely that the old monk is chanting scriptures and mantras, but the voice is erratic, and he can't hear where it came from!
Thinking about staying in the back for so long, maybe Mu Siqing had already finished talking to her uncle and came out to look for him, so she went back to the front yard, and only took two steps, and her eyes seemed to be aiming at the other corner, there seemed to be a wooden door, and the wooden door was hidden.
Xu Dong was stunned, he couldn't hold back his curiosity anymore, and walked over quickly.
Sure enough, there is a wooden door around the corner, and the crimson old lacquer on the door is mottled, but although the paint has fallen and cracked, the wooden door is not broken at all, and it looks particularly thick and solid.
In the past, the "old" thing was of good quality, and it was very simple to find some good wood in the past, unlike now, good miscellaneous wood materials are hard to find, and even if there are them, they are very expensive, and ordinary mahogany furniture is already sky-high, not to mention the more precious rare mahogany furniture.
The door was halfway open, Xu Dong hesitated, thinking about whether to go in, and worried that he would be found out and regarded as a "thief"?
Just as he was hesitating, Xu Dong suddenly heard the original sound that seemed to be traceable again, and after listening carefully for a while, the sound seemed to come from the room inside this door!
After hearing the sound coming from the door, Xu Dong thought that it would be better to go in and "see", since there are people inside, then he will not be considered "sneaking" in, see someone to say hello, chat a few words, maybe you can see some other "treasures", although you can't see the baby, but you can see a lot of different colors of treasures, for him, there is also a good confirmation effect!
"Anyone?"
Xu Dong couldn't bear it, asked a question first, and then stepped inside.
Inside the door was a utility room, stacked with some agricultural products, including potatoes, corn cobs, a few eggplants and cucumbers, etc., and there was a door on the inside.
Xu Dong went directly to the inner door and asked again, "Is there anyone?" ”
At this time, nothing could stop Xu Dong from going inside, because the space in the room was filled with the treasure he had seen on the top of the temple before!
Inside, there is a "Zen room", and there is nothing in this room except an old monk and two futons!
Xu Dong was a little stunned, in the room, the old monk closed his eyes and meditated, and the treasure that permeated the entire temple actually came out of this old monk!
The old monk was wearing a thin blue cloth monk's robe, and it seemed that he couldn't hide anything big, but what was the treasure that came out with such a strong treasure?
Although the old monk had his eyes closed, between his eyebrows, his appearance seemed to be the same as when he saw him more than ten years ago!
Xu Dong saw this old monk when he was about seven or eight years old, and at that time his monk's robe was oily, he looked sloppy, his eyebrows were white, his beard was black, and the skin on his face was red and warm like a baby's skin, and he looked like thirty-five or sixteen at most.
And now, Xu Dong secretly calculated, at least sixteen or seventeen years have not seen this old monk, looking at his face has not changed much, as if the pig-killing knife of the years can't help him at all!
"Old ...... Master ......"
Xu Dong opened his mouth to call him, but he had never had this kind of experience, he didn't know how to call it, it seemed impolite to call him "old monk", and it was inappropriate to call him "old man", so he jumped out with a "master" in hesitation.
The old monk's closed eyes suddenly opened, and Xu Dong couldn't help but be taken aback when he looked at the old monk's eyes!
When I saw this old monk when I was a child, I only thought that he was tall, sloppy, and bright, but now the eyes I see seem to be like a deep black pool of water, and I can't see to the end!
"Come here!"
The old monk beckoned and asked Xu Dong to come to him.
Xu Dong walked to the old monk in a daze, and the old monk pointed to the futon in front of him and said, "You sit down!" ”
Xu Dong sat down without thinking about it, the old monk stretched out his hand and pressed on the top of his head, Xu Dong didn't know what the old monk meant, but suddenly he felt that the palm of the old monk pressing on his head was hot like a soldering iron, and a hot breath penetrated from the scalp into his brain, baking his head dizzy.
It's like being drunk, and it's like being at sea, on a plane, seasick and airsick, I don't know the east, west, north and south in the clouds, and I seem to hear the old monk's "chanting" in my ears, and I don't know if he is talking or singing, and I can't hear what he is talking about, Xu Dong is very confused in his mind, he just feels that the heat is steaming and roasting him, except for the confusion, there is only confusion left!
I don't know how long it took, Xu Dong only felt very comfortable all over his body, and he didn't want to think about anything lazily, and he didn't even want to open his eyes.
Until Mu Siqing's voice came from his ears: "Xu Dong, wake up, Xu Dong, wake up, wake up......"
As if he was suddenly woken up in his sleep, Xu Dong was startled, and suddenly opened his eyes, but saw that his eyes were golden, the afterglow of the slanting sun, he was lying on the side of the stone dragon in the patio, and Mu Siqing's pretty face was like a flower, and he was bending down and bowing his head to call him.
Xu Dong was stunned, jumped up, looked around, and said in surprise: "What about the old monk?" Treasure...... What about treasures? ”
Mu Siqing said angrily: "What dream did you have? Return the old monk, return the treasure, I think you are a treasure! ”
Xu Dong was very strange, remembering that he was obviously going to the back along the eaves, and then entered through the wooden door at the back, the old monk seemed to massage his head, and he was feeling comfortable, why did he open his eyes but it was in the courtyard in front of the temple?
Did you really sleep here dreaming?
"No, no, no!" Xu Dong shook his head and read out loud, looked in the direction of the gate again, and asked Mu Siqing again: "Where is the old monk?" Is the old monk in the temple? Have you talked to your uncle? ”
