Chapter 83: Purple Bamboo Forest
Green Lantern Temple, Buddhism is an important place.
In the mountain behind the Buddha Sect, there is a purple bamboo forest, and in the depths of the bamboo forest, there are several courtyards built by bamboo houses.
The house is actually very simple, and it is all made of purple bamboo in the vicinity.
It's just that the original dark purple bamboo is now glowing with yellow light, and it seems that this courtyard has existed here for a long, long time.
Outside the bamboo house, there is a courtyard, and in this courtyard, three old monks in robes are sitting around a stone table with worried faces, drinking tea.
One of the thin old monks just wanted to pick up the teacup, but he sighed "hey", put down the teacup, and said worriedly, "The little junior brother has been in a coma for seven days..... if it goes on like this...how can this be good."
Another tall and burly old monk also said with a solemn face, "The little junior brother was brought up by his uncle since he was a child, and he has never left his uncle for half a step except for the five years he has been down the mountain... Now that Uncle Shi has gone west, I really don't know if the little brother can survive the difficulties...".
The last well-proportioned old monk was silent for a moment before he spoke.
"I heard the disciples in the Lingyin Temple say that in the place where Uncle Shi was poisoned, the surrounding forests were razed to the ground, and it was obvious that there had been a fierce battle. It's just that who is going to poison Uncle Shi next time? Why did this person blind the eyes of the little junior brother! ”。
In fact, the little monk was brought back to the Buddha Sect by the disciples in the Lingyin Temple only three days ago.
According to the disciples of Lingyin Temple, it was only after receiving a notification from the people that they learned that in the direction of the west of the city, there was an unconscious little monk and an old monk who was frozen in ice.
Subsequently, the monks in the temple also hurried to the place where the incident occurred.
When they saw Master Kongzhi's poisonous hair, the little monk in a coma, and the fierce fighting around them, they knew that this matter was not trivial, and immediately sent someone to escort the bodies of the little monk and Master Kongzhi back to Buddhism.
Now, seven days have passed since the day the little monk fell into a coma, but he still has no sign of waking up.
"Could it be that man's poisonous hand!! It was his arrival back then that made the sect restless! ”。
The person who spoke was the burly old monk.
In fact, he has another identity, the first seat of the Discipline Academy, and the Dharma name is empty.
Perhaps because he has been in charge of the precepts all year round, it also makes his body exude a momentum of not being angry and arrogant.
However, at the moment when his words fell, there was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in the bamboo house behind him.
Suddenly, the three old monks immediately got up and said in unison, "Little junior brother is awake!" ”。
Immediately after, the three of them turned around and walked directly to the bamboo house.
The burly old monk took the lead in pushing open the bamboo door and walked into the house.
But when he entered the house, he found that the little junior brother was lying on the floor, and he was holding the wine jar in his arms, which he didn't want to let go even if he was unconscious.
When the little monk saw someone entering the house, he hurriedly tried to climb forward, and said with a foolish smile in his mouth.
"Is it a master? Master, you're here, aren't you? ”
As soon as these words came out, the three old monks didn't know what to do.
They really couldn't bear to tell the little junior brother and uncle the news that they had gone west.
And when he saw that the little junior brother on the island was rolling on the ground and crawling towards them, the first seat of Wukong hurriedly stepped forward, hugged the little monk, and comforted, "Little junior brother, don't be afraid....don't be afraid....it's senior brother!" ”。
As he spoke, he turned his head and motioned to the juniors and disciples behind him with his eyes to inform the abbot first.
The thin old monk understood, nodded his head, and walked out of the room with a worried expression.
The little monk felt the strong arms of the person in his arms, and also felt the breath of the other party, and immediately smiled and smiled.
"Is it Senior Brother Wukong......Senior Brother....I bought the strongest wine in the world... I'm going to give it to the master... Senior brother, go and call the master to come over!! ”。
He recognized the senior brother beside him, who was the head of the Discipline Academy.
Don't look at him, this senior brother is burly, he is not angry and arrogant, and he will severely punish disciples who make ordinary mistakes. But only for him, he is very caring.
He still remembers that he was lazy and made mistakes when he was very young. But Senior Brother Wukong would always smile and touch his head, just to tell him not to be lazy next time.
And when he saw that his senior brother was coming, he continued, "Senior brother, it's so dark, why don't you light a candle."
He seemed to have forgotten what had happened that night, and seemed to have ignored the white cloth that had wrapped around his eyes.
The fragrance of bamboo in his nose, as well as the senior brother holding him in front of him, made him feel that he was back in his childhood, back to that happy childhood.
If the memories are too painful, some people will forget them on their own, leaving only the good in their hearts.
Maybe this is the case with the little monk at this time.
Seeing the little junior brother like this, he could only comfort the little monk while picking him up and letting him lean on the head of the bed.
"Little junior brother! Brother Abbot is coming soon....don't worry."
He really didn't know how to explain it, and he didn't know how to speak.
He could only wait for his senior brother to come back before making a decision.
After all, if he had to tell such a cruel truth to the junior brother, then he didn't want this matter to come out of his mouth.
Not long after, the senior monk who had just come out of the house brought a white-eyed old monk wearing a red robe to this bamboo house.
The old monk's expression was very solemn, and his steps were very fast.
He first gave a heavy look at the juniors and disciples present, and then walked straight to the wooden bed.
Seeing this, the first seat of Wukong got up and made room for the abbot.
When the abbot came, he sat directly on the edge of the bed and looked at the little monk.
At this moment, the little monk seemed to be aware of an inexplicable sadness in his heart, only to see him with his head down, still holding the altar in his arms, the 'strongest wine' in the world.
Seeing that the little junior brother was sad, the first one said, "Little junior brother, the abbot senior brother is also here!" ”。
The little monk slowly raised his head, looked at a no-man's land, and said with a foolish smile, "Senior Brother Abbot....Why are you here... Why don't the brothers light candles....Wunian can't see anything now."
The words that came out of his mouth were still as innocent as before, and he didn't seem to realize that he had lost his eyes.
But when such a sentence reached the ears of these old monks, it made their firm Buddha hearts tremble a little.
Several old monks standing behind the abbot all turned their heads and looked away.
They really couldn't bear to see this appearance of the little junior brother again.
They thought they had already seen through the red dust, but they didn't expect that this simple, innocent, and kind smile could make people feel so heartache.
He only felt that if he continued to look at it like this, his Buddha heart, which had been cultivated for decades, would be shaken.
It's just that, compared to them, the abbot master can't avoid the reality in front of him.
Although he couldn't bear to see the appearance of the little junior brother, since some things had happened, he still had to face them.
Moreover, in this life, from birth, man is destined to endure tribulations.
But as long as one can eliminate this so-called karma, then the day of Buddhahood is not far away.
He hoped that the little monk would learn to be strong and be able to get through the difficulties in front of him.
So, he took a breath before he said in a deep voice.
"Senior brother....Uncle Shi, his old man....is gone....".
The little monk turned his head violently, looked at the place where the voice came from, frowned and said stupidly, "Senior Brother Abbot... What did you say? ”。
At this moment, the little monk did not hear what the abbot said.
He only felt that what the other party said made him feel a little pain in his heart.
His brow, hidden under the gauze, furrowed slightly.
But it was this frown that touched the injury in his eyes.
At first, all he felt was a dull pain in his eyes.
But as his brow tightened and loosened, the pain turned into a piercing pain.
The little monk stretched out a hand and touched his face.
He felt a piece of gauze, and his fingertips touched his eyes.
Maybe it was his series of actions that tore the muscles that had just been connected in his eyes.
Suddenly, in this purple bamboo forest, a terrible cry sounded.
This pain can be said to be painful, I saw the little monk gritting his teeth, curling his body, rolling back and forth on the bed, wailing.
"Uh-huh....eyes..... my eyes....... Brother Abbot....Eyes of no thoughts.. It hurts....."
