1. A lamp in front of the Buddha
Lingyin Temple has been open for 30 years, the number of believers has gradually increased, and the incense has become prosperous, but it is the first time to see such a handsome young pilgrim.
The young man is about fourteen or five years old, wearing a small crown of black lacquered muslin, wearing a moon-white fine kudzu large-sleeved shirt, a praising coat with broad belts, fluttering sleeves of the robe, his body is like a wet spring willow, his complexion is like the bright moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the bridge of his nose is high, his lips are bright red, and his eyebrows are like ink paintings with a flying look, but unfortunately his eyes are a little stunned, and he doesn't seem to have much light, which makes the whole person a little discolored.
"Ugly, come here, kneel."
The white-haired woman on the Mahavira Hall turned around and greeted lovingly, behind her, the eight-height sandalwood Buddha statue stood majestically, the Buddha's left hand drooped, knotting the "wish seal", indicating that it can fulfill the wishes of all sentient beings, and the right hand bent the arm and stretched out, knotting the "fearless seal", indicating that it can remove the suffering of all sentient beings.
The young man stepped forward, knelt on the pampas grass round seat beside his mother, followed his mother's example, and respectfully kowtowed to the Buddha statue three times.
The old woman was in her fifties, fair-skinned, kind-eyed, and did not look old, but her hair was more white and less black, and her spirit was somewhat decayed, and she was not very healthy.
"Ugly, do you see the lotus lamp in front of the Buddha? That is the day ten years ago for you in the Lingyin Temple for the longevity of the lamp, bless my son without illness and disaster, peace and security - Niang is old, I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany you to the temple to make incense and vows, you have to remember, every year in April on the eighth Buddha's birthday, you have to come to the temple to incense almsgiving, remember? β
The handsome young man looked fixedly at the lotus-shaped longevity lamp on the incense case, and promised: "Mother, the child remembers." Then he said to himself: "Last night there was a storm, why wasn't this lamp blown out?" β
The old woman sneered slightly: "This is the longevity lamp, how can it be extinguished, don't say such stupid things again!" β
The monk came over with a small high-waisted oil canister and said with a smile: "Please Chen Tanyue add oil to your longevity lamp, in the past, the little monk did it for you." β
The young man took the high-waisted oil can, walked to the incense case, and slowly filled the lotus lamp with green oil, only to see that the flame of the lamp was like a bean, slowly floating, the small flame was brilliant, with dazzling beauty, look carefully, the flame seemed to be about to fly up from the wick -
The young man was stunned, his dark and clear eyes reflected two flames, and for some reason he suddenly thought of blowing out this longevity lamp, this thought was very strong, and he couldn't restrain itβ
"Poof", the boy blew out a breath of energy, the longevity lamp did not go out in response, but the flame was sheng, a ray of bright light in the flame escaped, shot into the young man's eyebrows, the boy "ah", the sky fell down, and the high-waisted oil tank in his hand fell out.
The old woman was shocked, threw herself at the young man's side, and exclaimed, "Ugly, uglyβ"
The monk of the temple was more timid, and he didn't know how to help save people first, but he went to the temple master Zhenru Elder in a smoke.
Elder Zhenru hurried to the scene with a few monks, grabbed the left hand of the young man who had fainted on the ground, and said with a little pulse: "The female benefactor does not need to panic, so that Lang's pulse is unhindered, it should be kneeling for a long time, standing up suddenly, and falling down with dizziness." On the other hand, the monk of the temple was ordered to put the young man on the small couch in the side hall, and the elder personally recited the "Great Peacock King Mantra" to pray for the young man to eliminate the disaster.
β¦β¦
Chen Caozhi woke up, listening to the difficult and profound mantras recited by the elders, and didn't want to open his eyes for a while, yes, he is still surnamed Chen, but his name is Caozhi, the word is heavy, I remember that Wang Xizhi has a son named Wang Caozhi, the word "Cao" is a good word in ancient times, indicating integrity, indicating that there is something to do and not to do, but for him, a traveler more than 1,600 years later, the name "Caozhi" always feels very awkward, but this name is taken by Chen Caozhi's ancestor Chen Su, what can he do to change it, just it, It's good to get used to it.
By the way, he also has a nickname called Liuqiu, based on the memory of Chen Caozhi fused in his mind, that is because Chen Caozhi was carved in powder when he was young, and he was too cute, and his parents were afraid that God would be jealous and could not raise him, so he took the nickname Liuchou, intending to hide it from God.
It was really like the elder reciting the "Great Peacock King Divine Mantra" devoutly, and the quiet hall at the foot of Wulin Mountain was filled with the compassion and vastness of Buddhism, but Chen Caozhi was still a little afraid to open his eyes-
In the five years after graduating from university, he traveled all over China, but he did not expect to encounter a mudslide in the Yimeng Mountains, and then inexplicably parasitized his soul in an everlasting lamp, and stayed in a small lamp for three months, at first frightened, anxious, angry, and dazed...... Suffering, but deep in the mountains and ancient temples, listening to monks chanting scriptures every day, watching pilgrims come and go, and gradually cultivating calmly, since this is already the case, then stay well, after all, the soul is still there, no eyes can see, no ears can hear-
It's just that every wind and rain, the wind is howling, the rainstorm is like a note, he is really afraid that the lamp will go out, the longevity lamp is his soul, the lamp is extinguished, he is likely to play completely, in addition to being afraid of the wind and rain, and afraid that the deacon monk sleeps lazily and forgets to add oil to the lamp, this day is really not good, trembling, so he urgently needs to really cross over to someone, helpless like the devil in the "One Thousand and One Nights" who was sealed in a brass bottle, in the face of pilgrims coming and going, he called silently:" Let me travel to you, I will make you emperor, I will point you to the treasures of the world, I will let you marry the most beautiful wife in the world-"
How can he have the ability of the devil, this is naturally a random promise, his shouts no one hears, and no one believes when he hears it, so he has been staying in the lamplight, but it is not without gain, from the gossip of the monks and pilgrims, he knows that it is now the second year of the East Promotion Peace, the emperor is Sima Dan, a very young emperor, only sixteen years old this year, the general Huan Wen has carried out two northern expeditions, hit the old capital Luoyang, the Eastern Jin Dynasty is greatly revitalized, the land south of the Yangtze River is quite stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment-
Therefore, Wang Xizhi can also call friends to swim in the mountains and rivers, and elegantly write his "Lanting Collection Preface"; Xie An was still living in seclusion in Huiji Dongshan at this time, taking prostitutes to the forest every day, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback; Jiangdong advocating demeanor and appearance of the celebrities and gentlemen wide robes and big sleeves, clothes five stones, waving the tail to talk, driving an ox cart to play, talk about music, on calligraphy, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, love for the landscape, there are all kinds of chic and unrestrained, informal words and deeds, is the heart and insight, is wonderful and affectionate, is the art of life, compared with the chaotic Western Jin Dynasty and the bloody Northern Dynasty Wuhu, the Eastern Jin Dynasty is really a very desirable noble and gorgeous era-
The old woman's mourning and crying interrupted Chen Caozhi's reverie, pity the hearts of the world's parents, think about how sad his parents would be when they learned the bad news that he was buried in a mudslide in his previous life, tears oozed from the corners of his eyes, open his eyes, face the world calmly, live well, and honor this old woman who cherishes her son more than her own life as her own mother, anyway, I was originally surnamed Chen.
"Mother-"
Chen Caozhi opened his eyes, and then sat up, because of the fusion of soul memories, this "mother" was called sincerely.
The old woman was overjoyed, grabbed her son's hand and asked, "Ugly, what do you think, where is your body uncomfortable?" β
Chen Caozhi said: "Mother, I'm fine, I suddenly felt dizzy just now, and now it's okay." β
The old woman looked left and right to make sure that her son was okay, and then solemnly thanked Elder Zhenru.
Elder Zhenru also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Ten years ago, Master Ligong said that Chen Tanyue has extraordinary roots and bones, and with the protection of the gods and Buddhas, he can turn evil into good fortune and auspicious times in trouble. β
Master Ligong is the founder of Lingyin Temple, Huili, from the West Tianzhu not far to Qiantang County to promote the Dharma, saw a strange peak of Wulin Mountain, said that this peak is from Tianzhu Linghu Ridge to fly, so the name Feilai Peak, so built Lingyin, Linghu two temples, Chen Caozhi's mother can be said to be the first batch of believers, when Master Huili touched the five-year-old Chen Caozhi's little head, said: "Here is a very person, there will be a blessing." But Chen Caozhi is getting older, in addition to his handsome and extraordinary appearance, his reading and literacy are very mediocre, but Chen Caozhi is very filial to his mother, and he loves a son and a daughter left by his deceased brother very much, and his pure filial piety and friendship are as praised as his appearance.
When the old woman heard Elder Zhenru's words, her heart was happy, and she looked at her son's eyes with great love, but what she and Elder Zhenru didn't notice was that the look in Chen Caozhi's eyes at this time was different from the past, and it was a little dull in the past, but now, the eyes were smart and profound, which made the original handsome appearance have a finishing touch.
