Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Chance Encounter with a High Monk
The rain was sparse, and the group hid in a broken temple, the eldest girl was helped in, and her sleeves were also wet, and the eldest girl shook the water on her body and came into the temple.
The temperature became very low, and the maids were afraid that the eldest girl would catch a cold in the rain and hurriedly brought clothes, and the eldest girl draped them on her body.
Lin Zimo and Jiang Li also felt a little warmer when they came to the broken temple, and the people were all drenched in the rain, and they were all in a hurry to find firewood and then make a fire to keep warm.
Lin Zimo and Jiang Li came over to ask the eldest girl how she was doing, and the eldest girl nodded and said that she was fine.
Everyone took a look at the situation inside the temple, the whole temple was dilapidated, there were several holes on the top floor, and an unknown Buddha was enshrined on both sides, and the main offering of a Buddha had a hideous face, which looked terrifying. Coupled with the dark environment inside the temple, people have a sense of awe.
The eldest girl walked forward and suddenly screamed.
Lin Zimo hurriedly stepped forward to ask what happened.
The eldest girl could no longer speak, and pointed to the front.
Lin Zimo looked ahead, and saw a monk in a monk's robe sitting where he was meditating, and the roof above his head had collapsed, and the rain had left on the roof. The monk sat on top of the pile of broken tiles and meditated, not moving, not paying any attention to the rain falling from above.
Lin Zimo was very surprised, and the eldest girl asked Lin Zimo: "This monk shouldn't be sitting, why don't you move." ”
When the group saw such a scene, they all felt incredible, and they all grew their mouths and didn't dare to speak.
Lin Zimo didn't dare to confirm what the eldest girl said, and he didn't know if the person in front of him was still alive.
But no one dared to come forward to confirm it, for fear of disrespecting him.
Suddenly, a voice came from somewhere: "Since the donor went into the temple to hide from the rain, why don't you bow down!" ”
Only then did everyone relax that the monk was still alive.
Lin Zimo opened his mouth to respond: "Thank you for the master's guidance, let's come and bow down." ”
After everyone knelt down, the monk stood up, didn't shake the water on his body, and then came to Lin Zimo and them.
"Amitabha! Where does this come from? ”
Lin Zimo opened his mouth and replied: "Master, we are from the capital, and we are going to go to the top of the Purple Mountain to bow down, and it happened to be raining heavily, so we came to this temple to take shelter from the rain. ”
"In that case, it means that the old man has a relationship with the benefactor."
Jiang Li was very surprised when he saw the scene of the master stopping just now, so he asked, "Master, dare to ask, is the master the abbot of this temple?" ”
The monk shook his head.
Jiang Li asked again: "Then why is the master worshipping here?" ”
The water on the master's face went down, the master still did not change his gestures, and his body was soaked, but the master did not look cold at all, and replied to Jiang Li: "Although the poor monk is not worshiped in this temple, there are also gods enshrined in this temple. ”
Jiang Li sighed: "The master is really a monk. The sea of Buddha is immeasurable! ”
"The donor's words are serious, and the poor monk is just doing his best!"
Lin Zimo asked the master: "Master, there are so many places in this temple where you can hide from the rain, why did the master choose this place to meditate?" ”
The monk laughed and said, "Because only where there is light!" ”
Everyone looked up and understood the master's intention, although there was rain falling from where, but only where there was light, everyone admired and said in unison: "Amitabha!" ”
The master bent down to the crowd.
The eldest girl looked at the monk in front of her who was so cultivated, maybe she could know a little answer from him about what she wanted to ask, so the eldest girl asked the monk: "Master, I have something I want to ask, I don't know if the master can give an answer." ”
The master stopped talking after hearing this, and the eldest girl was a little anxious, it seemed that the master was unwilling to answer the question for herself, was it because she was not sincere enough?
The eldest girl asked again: "Master, we have come all the way from the capital in the hope that we can get a solution to our doubts and hope that the master will give us guidance." ”
The master asked rhetorically, "Have you gone where you want to go?" ”
The eldest girl shook her head blankly.
The master smiled and asked, "Has the Buddha you wanted to worship arrived?"
The eldest girl shook her head again, and her face was even more foggy.
The master squinted his eyes and smiled, and stopped talking.
The eldest girl was afraid that something would be wrong, so she talked and asked what the master meant.
The master looked at her anxious but impatient, and shook his head secretly: "Since the donor hasn't arrived at the place he wants to go, why did he say the doubts in his heart halfway?" ”
The eldest girl swallowed the words that came to her mouth, what is this monk selling?
But she couldn't sprinkle fire on the monks in public, so she had to forcibly endure her anger.
Jiang Li saw that the master was unwilling to answer, his mind was tactful, and he said respectfully: "Master, my sister is pregnant from the capital, I hope the master can answer her questions, so that a lot of hardships can be saved." ”
The master obviously didn't buy it and didn't even say goodbye, turned around and left, and everyone shook their heads and sighed as they watched the master leave.
When the master left, he left a sentence: "Since we have not reached the end, many difficulties in life cannot be saved, and the donor wants to know the doubts in his heart, so he must persevere." ”
Lin Zimo looked at the departing master and said: "This monk can be described as a high monk, advise us not to give up, sister not to be sad, when the rain stops, we will go to Purple Mountain, and someone will answer your questions at that time." ”
The eldest girl nodded.
Jiang Li looked at the departing master and sighed with emotion in his heart: "What a person who can really be described as an ascetic, such a heavy rain actually braved the rain to leave!" Such a master does not know when he will be able to see each other again, ask for something when the time comes, and ask for some blessings for his family! ”
Lin Zimo stood behind Jiang Li and said with a smile: "There is a fate to meet!" ”
Jiang Li turned his head to Lin Zimo and said, "You also believe in this?" ”
"Why not believe it? How plausible is what the master said? ”
"But in this vast sea of people, where to find such a person?"
"Don't leak it!"
Jiang Li glanced at Lin Zimo, then turned around and went to roast the fire.
Jiang Li thought that he was fortunate not to bring Xiaolan with him this time, otherwise he would have suffered a lot more.
Jiang Li only hoped that after the rain stopped, he could go to the Purple Mountain and then bow down. I hope it will be safe and smooth in the future.
Lin Zimo has a big heart, and this time he brought Jiang Li out to distract himself, but the eldest girl came out, Lin Zimo still had to worry about her, fortunately nothing happened along the way, otherwise it would be troublesome if he went back...
