Chapter 9 The Great Monk is also sick

The next day, before dawn, Yang called Wang Ping'an early and took him to the pagoda temple. If it was something else, the Yang family would definitely be reluctant to call his son so early, but the Buddha needs to be sincere, especially for such a major event as repaying the wish, it is absolutely necessary to be respectful, and it is not okay to sleep lazily before repaying the vow.

Wang Ping'an asked Yang why he didn't go after breakfast, and it seemed unnecessary to go on the road hungry. Yang smiled when he heard this, and told Wang Ping'an that their Wang family was a big pilgrim, and if they went to repay their vows, the abbot of the temple would have to make vegetarian food for them, and it would not hurt to eat breakfast late.

Put on the carriage, Yang took Wang Ping'an and the little girl Ding Danruo to the pagoda temple together.

Xuzhou Pagoda Temple is located in the northwest of Xuzhou city on the edge of the dense forest, it was built not long ago, but it has only been a few decades. Legend has it that in the former Sui Dynasty, the war was everywhere, from the Chang'an Inspiration Temple came a monk who attained the Tao, this monk came to Xuzhou, saw that the people were living in hardship, and mourned all over the wilderness, so he sent a great volunteer, led the people to clean up the battlefield, buried the corpses, and lived in the forest to live for the undead. When the days were peaceful, the people were grateful for the kindness of the monks, so they built a temple in the place where he settled, and built a pagoda in the temple, and recited the monks. By this time, the presiding officer of the temple had been passed down for three generations.

Wuli Village is not far from the pagoda temple, the carriage and horses travel slowly, and the hour is also here, the sky has just dawned, and the temple door has been opened. Yesterday, the Yang family sent someone to inform the temple that the monk was guarding the door early in the morning, waiting for the big pilgrim to come to the door.

At the entrance of the temple, Wang Ping'an got off the carriage, met the front three red lacquer mountain gates, brass rings, red walls and yellow tiles, it was really a big temple, he helped Yang get off the carriage, the monk hurriedly stepped forward, put his palms together, chanted Amitabha Buddha loudly, welcomed Yang's arrival.

Wang Ping'an and Yang entered the pagoda temple, worshiped the Buddha with incense, and Yang recited words in his mouth, thanking the Buddha for his protection. Wang Ping'an knelt beside his mother and looked around at the Daxiong Treasure Hall. He saw that the Buddha statue in the hall was gilded all over the body, and the brilliance was dazzling, and he secretly said in his heart: "There is so much money in this temple, not to mention anything else, just say that all the Buddha statues of such a big body are covered with gold, I'm afraid I will have one or two hundred catties of gold!" ”

Yang recited the Buddha for a long time before getting up. The monk invited her to the prayer pool, which is the front of a large copper jar, and asked Yang to give money for sesame oil. Yang took off a string of pearls from his wrist and threw it into the jar.

The monk is overjoyed, this string of pearls is the size of a small thumb, and the value is not more than 100 yuan, which is a lot of sesame oil money! The monk bowed deeply and said: "Amitabha, the little monk thanked Yang Shizhu, Yang Shizhu came early, I don't know if it was used earlier, if you don't dislike it, please go to the back hall, wait for the little monk to offer vegetarian food, and fill the hunger of Yang Shizhu!" ”

Wang Ping'an was happy, and thought: "Hey, it's really good to eat!" Well, let's see what the vegetarian food of the Tang Dynasty was like! ”

Yang waved his hand and said, "How can you use rice before you finish adding sesame oil, that is disrespectful to the Buddha!" ”

The face of the monk was even more happy, and he said in his heart: "This string of beads is a lot, is it necessary to add another hundred pieces, that is really good!" ”

Yang said: "That string of beads is the sesame oil that the Buddha made my son sick last time, but the Buddha protected me more, and made my son a little miracle doctor, so I am not afraid of getting sick again in the future, so I add another thousand, pay tribute to the Buddha, and ask him to protect my son more in the future, and it is best to be a Jinshi!" ”

The monk of the Zhijia family gasped, surprised and delighted, a thousand sesame oil money, this is not a small amount, it is enough to build another hall! He hurriedly said: "Thank you Lord Yang, your old man is sincere in his worship of the Buddha, and the Buddha will protect him again and again!" After speaking, he invited Yang and Wang Ping'an into the back hall, and he left in a hurry.

The cloth in the back hall is also elegant, the small table with low legs, yellow satin cushions, and the tea set on the table are neat, which seems to be specially used to entertain big pilgrims in the pagoda temple.

Wang Ping'an sat cross-legged on the mat and said, "Mother, the monks in this temple are also enthusiastic, presumably there are many pilgrims who give alms on weekdays, and they are used to entertaining." ”

Yang said a little proudly: "Although there are many pilgrims, there are not many who may add a thousand pieces of sesame oil money, my son will wait a minute, the host of the temple will come soon!" ”

There was no need to wait, before her words landed, she heard a rush of footsteps outside, and only slowed down slightly when she arrived at the door, and with a Buddha horn, a fat monk in his forties, wearing a big red robe, appeared at the door. The fat monk didn't enter the door, and the kind words came first, and he said: "Oh, it turned out that Yang Shizhu came to this temple, and the poor monk missed the distance, forgive the sin!" As he spoke, he walked in with a smile on his face.

Yang didn't get up, just nodded slightly, and said, "Son, this is the presiding officer of the temple, Huide Zen Master, you hurry up!" ”

Wang Ping'an gave her mother a thumbs up and praised her for her clever calculation, and the host really came. Yang is very proud, as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, copper coins can be smashed, ghosts can be moved, not to mention a mere host.

Wang Ping'an stood up, saluted Huide, and didn't say much.

He didn't have anything to say, but Huide had a lot of words, so he came forward, looked Wang Ping'an up and down, and suddenly said: "Ah, Wang Xiao's benefactor is full of heaven, and the earth pavilion is round. ”

He turned his face to Yang and said: "Master Yang, you listen to the advice of the poor monk, quickly send Wang Xiaoshi to Beijing, enter the scholar early and high school, so as to serve the imperial court, as soon as Wang Xiaoshi becomes an official, the people will be blessed!" The sooner the little benefactor Wang goes to high school, the sooner the people will receive his favor, which is a great act of kindness. Amitabha, the poor monk petitioned Lord Yang for the people of the world! ”

Wang Ping'an laughed, this monk can really speak, and the sycophants are too loud, it's a bit deafening!

Although Huide's sycophant is exaggerated, it is Yang's favorite to hear, and she likes others to praise his son the most! Yang nodded and said: "Cheng presided over the auspicious words, in the future, my son will be in high school, and the old body will come to the temple again, add more sesame oil, and ensure that my Buddha's lamp will never go out!" ”

Huide is very grateful, and the sycophants are like a tide, and the old and the young of the Wang family are all comfortable. After a short time, the vegetarian food was served, and Huide personally sat with him, adding food and vegetables, and entertained him very attentively.

During the banquet, Yang talked about Wang Ping'an's own prescription, this glorious deed, she said to relatives and friends dozens of times, every time she said it, it was more perfect, now say it, it is really legendary, wonderful!

Huide smiled from beginning to end, nodded frequently, and interjected a few words from time to time, praising Wang Ping'an. Wang Ping'an was quite embarrassed to listen to it, what is this, it's too much!

Huide said: "It seems that Wang Xiaoshi has a medical book that specializes in treating incurable diseases...... Well, under the protection of the Buddha, I wonder if you can borrow a view from the poor monks? To tell the truth, at the beginning of the construction of my pagoda temple, it was for the purpose of saving the people, so there are many medical books in the temple, but they are too ordinary, and some incurable diseases cannot be treated, so that the people are suffering, I don't know if Wang Xiaobei can borrow the medical book in the temple to copy, so as to benefit the people of Xuzhou? ”

Wang Ping'an sighed and thought: "It seems that this monk is not blindly flattering, but also has some kindness, and he actually wants to see a doctor for the people." Well, that's right, if he was really a philistine, it would be impossible for him to be the presiding officer of this temple. ”

He shook his head and said: "Don't hide it, I can't find the medical book, but I remember some of the contents in it, if there are any incurable diseases encountered in the temple, you tell me, I may help with the reference and dialectic, but whether it is useful or not, I dare not guarantee!" ”

Huide did not force the medical book, listening to Wang Ping'an's willingness to help distinguish the evidence, he said: "A few days ago, there was a junior brother in the Beijing Master Chang'an Inspiration Temple to visit, my pagoda temple source and inspiration temple, the same root and the same origin, the poor monk wants to have a good life to entertain, but my junior brother is occasionally infected with cold, this kind of small disease does not need to seek medical treatment, the temple can be cured......"

As soon as Wang Ping'an heard this, he understood, it must have not been cured, it may be a cold, although a cold is a minor illness, it can cause many major illnesses, don't underestimate the cold! He said: "There are many kinds of wind and cold, I don't know what kind of wind and cold your junior brother gets?" ”

Huide thought for a while and said, "The poor monk doesn't know much about medical skills, he only knows how to grasp medicine according to prescriptions. Looking at the appearance of my senior brother Huide, it is cold and hot, and it is a little ...... It's a bit like malaria, but after taking the medicine, the condition does not improve, but I am deaf and can't hear a sound at all! ”

Yang clapped his hands and said, "That's the wrong medicine!" ”
