Chapter 52: Qingquan Temple (II)
"Huh? I thought that the remote mountain road in this place was not easier to walk than other temples, but it turned out that there were fifty-two incense sticks here? Belch...... Your old man really has an excellent memory, and I remember the time when this temple was built so clearly! ”
"This is also a coincidence, the old woman out of the pavilion happened to be here just built a temple, very close to the old woman's house, there is a thought in the heart, so I came up to offer incense, that year, the old man in the old woman's family is a good family, the old woman married well, it must be that time Bodhisattva manifestation, so in the future every year to serve the Bodhisattva. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info The old woman is sixty-five years old this year, so I remember that this temple has been built for fifty-two years. As soon as the old man opened the chatterbox, he couldn't stop, and led Li Xiangzhi to walk out, saying as he walked: "Coincidentally, a few years ago, the old woman was weak and disabled, and she was already struggling to go up the mountain, and suddenly there were many new masters in the temple, and they were renovated and repaired, so that the old woman continued to serve Guanyin Bodhisattva." Coincidental or not, you say? ”
"Huh? Yes, it must be your old man's sincere move to the Bodhisattva, this is the arrangement made by the Bodhisattva in the dark! Li Xiangzhi silently despised himself.
"Yes!" The old man said happily: "The old woman thinks the same way!" ”
"Uh...... Old man, you say, renovated here a few years ago? What year was that? I think it's quite big here, the Buddha hall is complete, so it shouldn't need to be renovated, right? Li Xiangzhi suddenly asked.
"Childe, you don't know, three years ago it was deserted here, there were only three dilapidated small houses, namely the mountain gate, the Guanyin Temple, and the chanting pavilion, and you can see today's situation at that time!"
"Three years ago?" Li Xiangzhi said thoughtfully: "Then the temple should have formed some great good fate, so there is so much money to renovate, right?" ”
"Alas! It's a pity that Master Huiling passed away that year, and he didn't see the current situation! ”
"What?" Li Xiangzhi: "You mean that the original temple has passed away?" What about the original disciples? ”
The old woman said: "I heard that those former masters were sent to Jinling Temple for further study by the new Miao Zhu. It's their blessing! ”
"Oh? That's it! ”
――――――――
"Lord! What do you say this Li Gongzi has to talk about with the old woman? ”
The little master lifted his pigtails and said, "Pedant readers, what can you talk about, homely!" These scholars are sanctimonious, and they are listening to what they say before and after, but they are actually hypocritical! ”
"The Lord is wise!"
"It's almost time, you go and check him out!"
"Yes!"
"Nope! Let's take it. I'll ask for myself! ”
――――――――
Li Xiangzhi looked straight ahead with a calm face, and his body did not move, but his eyes were rolling back and forth.
It's still the same black dress, but it's not a night coat anymore, it's a long ink-colored skirt with a black veil on the face. The night woman, who had already had a few faces, was still cold, and her big eyes narrowed.
"Ahem! Belch...... Woman, haven't asked for your name yet? Li Xiangzhi broke his embarrassment and said.
"Didn't the woman scream the same way? Why is the name important? Why ask for names? ”
Li Xiangzhi slandered: "Little girl, do you really think you are a god?" Hum! ”
Li Xiangyi said with a flattering face: "That...... How inappropriate that is. Life in the world, many "heroines", but their names are advertised as a lifetime, and many truths in this name can be said to run through a person's life, which involves benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith. Let me talk about this surname first, children will learn the three-character scripture, the hundred family names, and the thousand-character text when they are enlightened, why? The three-character scripture is to teach people to be people, people can have no name, but they can't not know who is in the world, uh, deviated, sorry, what I want to say is, these hundred family names, which are just surnames, do not involve other truths, why is it a child's enlightenment? In fact, it implies a deep meaning, knowing names, knowing ancient and modern, not only to understand the weight of their surnames, but also to know the respect for other surnames, you see, if someone introduces, in Xia Li, if others are ignorant and mishear Cheng Ni or Li? Isn't this very disrespectful, talking about a person surnamed Ouyang, if people hear that the surname is Ou, it is simply an insult to other people's families, and there are ......"
"Shut up!" The woman suddenly shouted angrily.
"Yes! Shut up, shut up! Li Xiangzhi saw that the other party looked at him angrily, and immediately covered his mouth with one hand.
After a while, the woman said, "My surname is Zhu!" ”
Li Xiangzhi glanced at her in surprise, completely unexpecting that the other party would take the initiative to introduce her surname.
"It turned out to be Miss Zhu in person, a good surname, a good surname, in ancient times, Zhu Xianggong used spiders as a totem, and Fang is one of the origins of the surname Zhu......"
"You mean, I'm a descendant of spiders?" The woman shook her braids in black and said leisurely.
Li Xiangzhi exclaimed: "No, no, what I mean below is that the red heart wood is Zhu, and the surname Zhu must be a great good person, and it is a national surname, which is really a good surname." ”
When the woman surnamed Zhu heard this, she was immediately angry and funny. Secretly: "Is this person a fool?" I've never seen him look so stupid before! ”
"Get down to business! How's it going? ”
Li Xiangzhi said: "Miss Zhu, after Li's investigation, the Guanyin statue in the Guanyin Hall is solemn and close, the Guanyin is built of gold, the face is kind and kind, vivid and different. After some inquiry, I learned that the Guanyin Bodhisattva here has a special spiritual ......"
Li Xiangzhi was about to explain in detail, and found that the woman surnamed Zhu, whose left hand holding the sword trembled slightly, was looking at Li Xiangzhi angrily, and was instantly awe-inspiring. Then he said: "I found that the Buddha statue of this Guanyin Hall is an open heart, so it should be one of the 33 phases of Guanyin, the Gassho Guanyin, Buddhism believes that the right hand is the sacred hand, and the left hand is the impure hand, so there is a habit of using both hands separately. However, if the two hands are one, it is the unity of the sacred and impure sides of mankind. I look at the gold paint on the left hand of this Buddha statue is slightly discolored, and I am afraid that this impure face seems to be precipitating...... The following means that the left hand of this Guanyin statue must have been touched by someone often to have this discoloration, but I don't know what the reason is. ”
When the woman surnamed Zhu heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up slightly. watched Li Xiangzhi flicker for a while, but finally grasped the point.
The woman, who was standing motionless and listening, immediately bowed down and said, "Lord, the slave and maid are going to check it out!" ”
"No hurry! We'll come back in the evening! ”
Li Xiangzhi's ears were elongated, and his eyes rolled and said, "Miss Zhu." Is it possible to go back in the next place? ”
When the woman surnamed Zhu heard this, she immediately glanced at Li Xiangzhi with disdain, "No! ”
"This ...... This...... Miss Zhu, this temple was built three years ago, if there are gangsters who set it up as a den, such a big project and such a big effort, there must be a lot of gangsters. I know that girls can go high and high, but as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat. Otherwise, I am willing to serve the girl and find some helpers. At that time, this gang of gangsters will be brought to justice in one fell swoop, what does the girl think? Li Xiangzhi said earnestly.
The woman surnamed Zhu chuckled and said, "Okay, you are a scholar, you are indeed different from ordinary scholars." Ordinary people are either afraid of death and timid, or they are reckless. It's good that you're afraid of death, and you still have some brains, thinking that Dharma practitioners should avoid this place of right and wrong. He deserves to be a reader. ”
"Uh...... Isn't this for the sake of the girl's safety? Of course, he also thought a little about himself, and Zi said: The body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it. In the next weak scholar, in front of such a group of gangsters, isn't that still a fish and meat on the board? If you unfortunately die, wouldn't you be ashamed of your parents? This ancient cloud: Wu Nian Erzu, Yu Xiu Jide. Seeking good fortune and avoiding evil is also a kind of virtue. Having said that, the girl is strong in martial arts, and if there is a conflict with the gangsters, it will definitely increase the girl's trouble. ”
"Hehe! You are a sloppy scholar, but you have a three-inch lotus tongue. ”
"What does Miss Zhu mean?" Li Xiangzhi stared at the other party expectantly.
Somehow, the woman surnamed Zhu didn't fight when she saw Li Xiangzhi's face.
"You follow me until the end of the night, and if you say another nonsense, I'll cut off your tongue and feed it to the dogs!"
"Huh?"
The woman ignored Li Xiangzhi and said to the woman: "Mengru, you go back and prepare, pick a few good hands to prepare, and act tonight." ”
"Yes! The slave and maid are gone! So the woman departed.
Li Xiangzhi said with a sad face: "Miss Zhu, it's still early, why don't I go back first and come back in the evening?" ”
The woman surnamed Zhu glanced at Li Xiangzhi sideways, then turned around and left, and Li Xiangzhi was helpless, and quickly followed.
