Chapter Ninety-Seven: Water Fish
readx;
Walking around the main courtyard full of flowers and trees, everywhere is full of life. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ The sound of chanting from time to time in the magnificent hall can't help but feel that this sect is as if it is integrated with flowers and trees, bringing a trace of incomparable solemnity and solemnity.
As light as walking in the courtyard at this time, on the stone road between the flowers and trees in the main courtyard. But in fact, I was still thinking about the pros and cons of coming by myself this time. Since last night, I negotiated with the Master that he would come to visit Lian Yan on behalf of the Master. With the Master's letter that night, it was delivered to Lian Yan. Early this morning, Lian Yan sent his disciples to pick him up. Although Mu Shi wanted to come with him when he came today, he politely declined. In this way, he took two stick monks from the Honjia Temple of Jinhong Mountain, and under the guidance of the people sent by Lian Zhen, he slowly walked towards the courtyard of Lian Zhen.
Because the scale of the main courtyard is extremely large, there are temples one after another everywhere. If there is no one to guide the way for a newcomer to himself, I am afraid that he will really get lost in such a huge group of temples. Just after following the guide monk sent by Lian Yan, he happened to encounter an ox cart that was slowly moving forward from the stone road. The ox cart is decorated with great beauty, and the vermilion lacquer painted body is surrounded by colorful tulle curtains. A cowman is pulling a fat and sturdy ox slowly from the road ahead. In front of and on the left and right of the ox cart, there were six or seven young women dressed in beautiful silk clothes. The gorgeous silk clothes on these women's bodies are not all extraordinary, and you can tell at a glance that they must be fine clothes. But the clothes of these women are those of maids and servants. The women each hold a small rod with gilded curves in their hands. At the end of the small pole is a hollowed-out circular incense burner. From time to time, there will be a faint cigarette smoke from the stove, which will slowly waft out from the furnace and bring up a burst, which is a good smell.
In addition, there are several monks with big shoulders and round waists, not holding sticks but waist knives, who are escorting the front and back of the cart and following the car.
Seeing the posture of the ox cart coming forward, and it was still in the main courtyard of the sect, Danru couldn't help but be careful. But whoever can ride in an ox cart will surely be honorable. What's more, the maids and the guards who traveled with the car also showed that the identity of the person sitting in the car was not ordinary.
"Monk, let's let the car go first, right?"
Just as Danru was thinking while walking, the disciple who was leading the way in front of him, the disciple of Lian Zhen's disciple, asked him in a low voice.
As the guide monk asked in a low voice, Danru also knew what he meant, so he couldn't help nodding slightly, and then gave way to the way. He and the guide monk and the accompanying monk with a stick all stood under the vermilion red wall next to the stone road, waiting for the ox cart and the group to pass first.
Thinking that the guide monk knew who the owner of the ox cart was, he would ask if he would let the ox cart go first. And he came to the General Institute to be awarded the national teacher and the monk, and he was personally awarded the monk in scarlet clothes. In the general courtyard, he is not really a "monk".
The ox cart was accompanied by the maid and the guard monk, and slowly passed by Danru. When the ox cart passed by the faint side, a woman's faint figure appeared in the car. Although there was a gauze curtain outside the car, I couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly. But the figure of the beautiful woman kneeling in the car was still faintly visible. And... It seemed that when the ox cart passed in front of him, the woman in the cart seemed to be... Moved slightly...
It wasn't until the ox cart gradually moved away that Dan Ru followed the line again and sent the guide monk to continue to move forward. Walking lightly, he did not ask the guide monk who was coming from the car. But he felt that more things were better than less, and since the car had passed, he still had to ask more. They didn't stop until they came to the door of a courtyard of great size. This courtyard is comparable to a small Buddhist temple, but it is also not magnificent, just like the high-gate compound of the scholar family. At this time, there were more than a dozen monks and men holding waist knives, guarding the gate of this courtyard left and right in front of the door. After the leading monk and the monk who walked out of the courtyard gate reported the sound. The leading monk then retreated to Danru. Immediately, the monk who walked out of the courtyard gate was as light as before, and walked into this imposing courtyard.
When Danru followed the monk, after walking into the courtyard and walking all the way. Only then did I finally come to a place, quite quiet and elegant in front of the waterfront pavilion. The pavilion is half on the ground and one on the water. The lotus flowers in full bloom in the water, and the rockeries around the pavilion, the grass and trees are integrated into one scene, and the end is a color between the water. Koi fish of all colors with a leisurely tail sometimes emerge from the water to play in the lotus, as if waiting for their owners to come and feed.
At the invitation of the monks, Danru asked the accompanying monks to wait in front of the pavilion. He walked into this empty pavilion alone. When walking into the pavilion, slowly walk to the vermilion lacquer railing under the eaves of the waterfront pavilion. Looking at the beautiful scenery in the water under the railing, I couldn't help but look at the tail of koi fish, and thought of something else... It seems that at this time, among the water lotus under the fence, it is not a tail of koi that swims back and forth, but a fresh but strange person. Some people have already shown their faces, such as Mu Shi, who supports Lian Shi, and Mu Shi's father and monk. Others still have a vague face, just like the one who came here today and was going to visit. There are also some who even have blurred figures, like Lian Feng, Mu Yuan and Sheng Jing. These people of all kinds are like tails in the water, sometimes floating and sometimes disappearing. But no matter whether they are floating or hidden, they are inseparable from the "water" that gives birth to them, and this water is the sect and the general courtyard. Even they are like them, and they are just one of the fish that can't do without "water".
"Hehe~ as light as a nephew, do you like this fish in the water?"
Just as Danru was still beside the railing under the eaves of the pavilion, quietly observing a koi in the water, a slightly old hoarse voice suddenly came from behind him. Along with the sound of the words, there was the sound of stepping on the wooden ladder downstairs. Looking back, he realized that there had always been people on the second floor of the pavilion. But this man was silent upstairs, so that he felt that there was no one in the time and space he had just walked into.
Under the silent gaze of Indudus, an old monk about sixty years old had slowly walked down from the second floor of the pavilion. Although the old monk is over the age of six, he is in good spirits, and there is no trace of the feeling of old dragon bells, not to mention, but there is also a faint posture of dragon and tiger steps between walking. A diamond-patterned satin purple robe shows the incomparably noble identity of this old monk. Around his neck he wears a string of one hundred and eight beads of agarwood. Needless to say, this old monk is the person who came here to visit. The court supervisor and the court elders of the Jidu Shandezong General Hospital. Only those who are in a high position in the sect like Lian Yan can wear purple clothes instead of being a great virtue in purple.
When the old monk smiled and walked down the wooden ladder of the two-story pavilion, Danru hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, bowed to him with his hands folded and said, "Amitabha!" For example, I have seen Uncle Lian! β
Lian Zhen smiled, and while walking towards Danru, he couldn't help but praise: "Good! All right! Senior Brother Puyun has accepted a good apprentice! At an age of more than 20 years old, you can pass the three major departments of the General Hospital, and wear a scarlet robe~ I really have the demeanor of the Lingshi of the year, my senior brother Puyun! ~ It is worthy of being the proud protΓ©gΓ© of Lingshi's disciples! ~Alas! It's a pity that now the national teacher is in poor health, but he can't wear scarlet clothes for his teacher and nephew. I don't know when the national teacher's moral and main legal body will be able to turn around. β
Even when he spoke, he came to Danru's side, and patted Danru's arm slightly very affectionately. But there was a hint of melancholy on his face. Immediately, after making a gesture of invitation to Danru, he walked towards the waterfront railing under the eaves of the pavilion.
After making a gesture of invitation to him, Danru respectfully bowed to him with his hands folded, and then came to the waterfront railing again with Lian Yan. Danru, who was standing quietly beside Lian Zhen, looked at the koi in the water with Lian Zhen.
"Sometimes clear water isn't necessarily a good thing. It's like a fish in the water, you can see its movement at a glance. Hehe~ What does the nephew think? ~β
He looked at the koi fish in the water under the fence with great interest, and smiled warmly and meaningfully.
After listening to what Lian Yan said, he knew that his meaning was meaningful. Now the "water" of the General Hospital, but the "fish" is not clearly visible, and even the words are the opposite. At first glance, it should also mean that it cannot be seen through... Or maybe it means that I came this time. After all, I came to visit him this time, and I came on behalf of the master. It was precisely because he came today that he also stopped him from wanting to visit the Master in person today.
"Amitabha! Uncle Shi said that if the water is clear, the fish in the water will be clear, and it will be clear when you think about it. β
As if he was in a deep groan, he put his hands together and recited the Buddha's trumpet.
Still looking at the koi in the water, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly and smiled: "Hehe~ Okay!" As a good sentence, if the water is clear, the fish will be clear. ~ This water is clear and the fish is also clear, and it is very good to be clean. But I'm afraid that the fish that comes out of the clear water is not a clear fish. What is the use of the fish not being clear, and the water is clear? Even if the water is clear, as long as the fish is not clear, then sooner or later, the water will become muddy water. In that way, the fish hidden in the water will be even more difficult to see. β
As the words of the water and the fish were not clear, Danru couldn't help but think a little. Now in the "water" of the General Hospital, how many of the "fish" hidden in it are clear? This inherently unclear "water", even if the "fish" in it is clear, will eventually become unclear "fish" because of the "water". Just like the father and monk of this penitent uncle, is he a clear "fish"? And Lian Feng, who has never met on the other side, is needless to say. are all non-clear "fish" that muddy the "water" of the General Hospital.
