Wu Yang chuckled, but felt Jiang Liu's hateful gaze, and immediately changed his face, and said, "My son-in-law fell on his heels." ”

Zeng Guangxi walked over and stepped forward to help Jiang Liushu in surprise: "Brother Jiang Xian, why are you so careless?" ”

Jiang Liusu raised his eyes to look at Zeng Guangxi, and just wanted to speak, but saw Meng Fanrui with his hands folded behind his head, and said with a smile: "Apprentice, come in the door?" ”

Jiang Liu's whole body stiffened, and he said in a soft voice, "Yes, Master." ”

Shen Kang smiled: "Brother Jiang fell and fell hard, so he worshipped Uncle Meng as his master?" You're fast enough, I thought you'd have been fighting for days. ”

Jiang Liu said angrily: "You are used to watching dramas, but you give me a hand!" ”

Shen Kang hugged him with a smile, turned his head to look at Jing Yue, and asked, "Little Master, you see, my brother is injured, can you rest for a while in the Gui'an meditation room, freshen up, and change clothes?" ”

Jing Yue nodded, and then called, "Sister Jing Yuan, can you show the way for the little benefactor?" ”

The older nun who was sweeping the courtyard on the side lowered her eyebrows and said, "Amitabha, please come here." She opened half of her body sideways and let Jiang Liusu into the backyard.

Shen Kang said with a smile: "Junior Master Jingyue, I'm tired. ”

Jingyue nodded, and hurriedly led everyone into the back hall.

As soon as I entered the backyard, I saw a nun standing under the Bodhi tree in the courtyard, who thought she was wearing a brown Buddha coat, the nun was about forty years old, with a serene expression, holding a string of red Buddha beads, her head was shaved clean, and her blue hair stubble had just grown, and there were six ring scars on her head.

"Master." Jingyue called softly, and Shen Kang knew that the nun in front of him with a serene demeanor was Si Guoshitai.

She stepped forward, thought about the teacher, looked at everyone, frowned slightly, and asked in a cold voice, "What's going on?" ”

Jing Yue clasped her hands together, very respectfully, and said, "Master, these benefactor's friends have been lost on the mountain, and they want our nunnery to help find people. ”

Hearing this, after thinking about it, Shitai's expression eased slightly, and said: "Even if there is a reason for the incident, you should not bring male guests to the backyard casually, if the matter is urgent, this time you will be punished for three days without eating, copying scriptures in the Buddhist hall, and then there will be a next time, and you will be severely punished." ”

Jingyue didn't care about punishing the copying of scriptures or anything, but said: "It's not good for the disciple, the disciple doesn't dare to act in vain anymore, but the lost donor, what should I do?" ”

Si Guo Shitai shook his head, knowing that Jingyue was eager to save people, and he punished her so heavily, he felt a little unbearable, but he stiffened his face, and said: "Tu Shan said that it is not big, it is not small, there are only more than ten sisters-in-law in our nunnery, even if they all go out to look for it now, it is a needle in a haystack, and it is impossible to find it before dark." ”

Zeng Guangxi hurriedly said: "How can this be good!" ”

Shen Kang frowned slightly, what this master said was not wrong, but now he returned to Fengyang Mansion to ask for help, and he still delayed his work back and forth.

He stepped forward and stepped out of the crowd, bowed his hand, and said, "Boy Shen Kang, I have seen Si Shitai." ”

Si Guoshi raised his hand slightly and said, "The little donor has something to say, so you don't have to be polite." ”

Shen Kang put down his arm and said: "Mrs. Shi, the place where Brother Wang went missing, just by the spring not far away, Brother Wang is a scholar, his feet are slow, and he can't go too far if he wants to. ”

Si Guo nodded slightly, and said, "Then, let's start from the neighborhood." ”

Shen Kang nodded, and said, "I'm sorry for the trouble for your nunnery, the kid still has a reluctant request, and I ask the master to forgive me." ”

After thinking about it, Shitai said: "The little donor, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Shen Kang said: "Can you borrow the bell of your nunnery?" ”

As soon as these words came out, after thinking about Shitai, he knew Shen Kang's intentions, since the person did not go far, he could naturally hear the sound and the bell, if it could reach the ears of that person, he followed the sound and was rescued soon?

This is a good idea, but how can the bell in the temple be rung casually?

Si Guo Shitai frowned slightly, and said: "Zhong Nai Longyan, how can you knock at will!" ”

Zeng Guangxi stopped: "Brother Shen Sanxian, you may not know that the bell of the temple is mostly struck once in the morning and dusk, each time it is struck eighteen times, slowly eighteen times, and then eighteen times unhurriedly, and so on twice, a total of one hundred and eight times. It symbolizes the cycle of a year, and the days are eternal. Another theory is that people have one hundred and eight kinds of troubles, and the bell rings one hundred and eight times to get rid of the troubles of the world. You can't just knock it indiscriminately. ”

Shen Kang pursed his lips and said, "The temple bell is used for prayer, enlightenment, and transcendence of sentient beings. The Buddha bells are cast with inscriptions: "The bell is heard, the troubles are light, the wisdom is long, the Bodhi is born, from hell, out of the fire pit, willing to become a Buddha and save all sentient beings." ”

Si Guotai said with a cold face: "Since the little donor knows, why did he make such a request!" ”

Shen Kang said: "Isn't it excessive to save people in fire and water? Master, you are practicing the Dharma, don't you understand human feelings? ”

Si Guo Shitai's lips pursed into a downward line, and said, "Not to mention the little donor, your tongue is bright, this matter is absolutely impossible." As she spoke, she flicked her sleeves and said, "Jingyue, take a few donors out, let your junior sisters help find people, this nunnery can only do this, and the rest can only be resigned to fate." ”

Shen Kang was about to speak, but Zeng Guangxi stopped him and whispered in his ear: "Don't go too far, let's go." ”

Shen Kang frowned, except for Zeng Guangxi, they didn't know the way, with more than a dozen nuns, how could it be so easy to find someone, what was the difference between this and sitting still?

He was anxious in his heart, but he knew that the more times like this, the more he had to hold back his mentality, because being in a hurry would not help him find Wang Lucao at all.

Good, good.

Calm, calm down.

He let out a long breath, and finally stabilized his emotions, and followed Jingyue out of the back hall again.

Soon, Jingyue summoned more than a dozen nuns in the nunnery to go out to find Wang Lucao, Zeng Guangxi took Meng Fanrui and Wu Yang to help, leaving Shen Kang, Jiang Liuchu and Liu Shu to wait for news in the Panruo Temple, also to prevent Wang Lucao from finding here by himself and no one answered.

Jiang Liusu took care of the clothes on his body, and he didn't have the heart to think about the grievances and grievances with Meng Fanrui, sitting on the steps in front of the gate of the Panruo Temple, supporting his bruised face with both hands, and said, "Shen San, you say, will Wang Lucao have an accident?" ”

Shen Kang shook his head and said, "No." ”

Jiang Liu said, "Are you comforting me?" I don't need your comfort. ”

Shen Kang said: "No." He paused, and then said: "The eldest brother naturally has a way to protect himself as much as possible, waiting for us to find him, if it is the second brother, I should be in a hurry." ”

That's right, that's the case, Wang Lucao is trustworthy.

When danger comes, he must have a way to protect himself.
