1461 Bodhi in pairs
Zhuge Liang immediately stopped and asked Fan Jinqiang to go over to check, and a moment later, Fan Jinqiang walked out from behind the tree with a baby in his arms.
It was a baby boy, a local-looking man who looked to be only a few months old, wrapped in a ripped coarse cloth and exposed wheat-colored skin, with a small hand unintentionally grabbing the clothes on Fan Jinqiang's chest, babbling his limbs.
There is no need to explain at all, this must be an abandoned baby, maybe because of poverty, or because of illness, seeing this situation, Sun Shangxiang was once again motherly and hurriedly went over to check.
The baby boy was sucking one of his little fingers, and when he saw Sun Shangxiang actually plunging his head into Fan Jinqiang's arms, Fan Jinqiang's tiger body trembled, as if he had been struck by lightning, and his eyes were instantly filled with tears of excitement.
Sun Shangxiang wanted to take it into his arms, but Fan Jinqiang didn't agree, and hugged the child tightly, as if he was afraid that someone would take it away.
"Prime Minister, Baoyu, please allow me to take in this child." Fan Jinqiang knelt down on one knee and said earnestly.
Fan Jinqiang has always wanted a child, Wang Baoyu knows this very well, but the origin of this child is unknown, and he is not of Han descent, which seems to be a little inappropriate.
Zhuge Liang and Wang Baoyu did not speak, Fan Jinqiang burst into tears, and continued to plead: "I made a wish to the Buddha at the right time, hoping to give me a child." Since I met this son from here, it must be that the Buddha remembered that I had no children, and I specially sent him, and I asked for permission. ”
Alas, Wang Baoyu sighed, went over to help Fan Jinqiang, and said, "Big brother, it's not that I don't agree, we can adopt one in Yiling after we go back." ”
"Baoyu, I have followed you to fight for many years, and I have long been trained to be hard-hearted, but when I saw this son, I couldn't help crying, presumably it was fate." Fan Jinqiang refused to let go.
"Well, it should be." Wang Baoyu was speechless, and persuaded again: "We don't know if this child is sick or not, if there is any accident when he brings it back, won't he be sad again?" ”
"As a parent, there is no reason to dislike children. There is a miracle doctor in Yiling, even if the child is sick, it can be cured. Fan Jinqiang insisted.
The good big brother has always been obedient to his words, only this time he insisted on his own opinion, Wang Baoyu glanced at Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang sighed slightly, and signaled him to call the shots. Wang Baoyu had no choice but to nod and agree, and instructed the accompanying military doctor to diagnose the child in detail immediately after he returned.
This child is really related to Fan Jinqiang, snuggled in Fan Jinqiang's broad chest, does not cry or make trouble, and his eyes are black and white, but he looks very energetic.
Fan Jinqiang carefully touched his rough fingers on the child's face, and the child was stunned, so frightened that Fan Jinqiang sweated, thinking that he had hurt him. Unexpectedly, the child giggled, and the pure laughter and soft eyes made Fan Jinqiang's heart completely melt, and he couldn't bear to let go.
Afterwards, everyone left the Lumbini Garden, and hurried back to the marching camp of the city of Fanyin at night, and after a detailed examination by the military doctor, he was very sure that this was a normal and healthy child. As for why he was abandoned, it may be because of his family's poverty.
Wang Baoyu's worries were removed, considering that Fan Jinqiang was a big man, and he had to lead troops to fight, so he couldn't take care of the children at all, so to put it in Sun Shangxiang's place first, and several female soldiers raised him on his behalf.
And Fan Jinqiang has to go to see him at least three times a day, holding him in his arms and kissing him non-stop, and he also named the child, which is called Fan Yin. When Fan Jinqiang saw Sun Shangxiang, he kept thanking her, and repeatedly emphasized that after returning to Yiling, he would take Diao Chan to thank her again.
In fact, Fan Jinqiang's implication was that he was afraid that Sun Shangxiang would have a long-term affection for the child, and snatched the child away as the main mother, so he kept reminding himself that he was the father of the child.
"Alas, General Fan has his own children, but we are ......," Sun Shangxiang said regretfully.
"Xiang'er, don't we have Wukong!" Wang Baoyu interrupted her and said with a smile. The child is Wang Baoyu's forbidden area, and he must not want it.
"How can it be the same, Wukong is a monkey!" Sun Shangxiang said dissatisfied.
"Hehe, it's smarter than the average kid." Wang Baoyu said.
"Hmph, it seems that I can only rely on my sisters in the future." Sun Shangxiang turned around, tears appeared in his eyes, Wukong thoughtfully, thoughtfully stepped forward to wipe Sun Shangxiang's tears.
Three days later, the army set off from Fanyin City, followed the clues left by Pujing, and went straight to the bank of the Nirenchan River.
The map shows that the Nirenchan River is a branch of the Ganges, and the Buddha has used the number of sands in the Ganges River more than once as a metaphor for the large number of monks and the few enlightened people.
The banks of the Nirenchan River were only three hundred miles away from the city of Fanyin, and at noon that day, the army finally arrived at its destination, and the weather was hot, and the soldiers jumped into the river to bathe, laughing and laughing.
A continuous low mountain, the grass and trees are extremely lush, and it seems very deep, Zhao Yun and other generals inevitably went to investigate, and determined that there was no ambush of the Guishan Kingdom here.
"It was here that the Buddha practiced penance for six years, and a few miles ahead, there is still a Bodhi tree where the Buddha was enlightened." Xiangju introduced.
"So let's go there!" Zhuge Liang said.
Wang Baoyu, Zhuge Liang and the others immediately walked along the river bank towards the front, and after half an hour, they finally saw the legendary Bodhi tree.
The Bodhi tree is 50 meters high, with a thick and majestic trunk and a slim canopy, and unlike what you imagined, there is not only one Bodhi tree here, but two trees that are embraced.
A stone wall blocked the two Bodhi trees, and at this time, under the Bodhi trees, a group of monks had gathered, and they were bowing to the boulder under the tree.
Hearing the sound of the soldiers coming, the monks unexpectedly got up and hurried away, Wang Baoyu and the others entered the stone wall, and Xiangju and Wukong bowed solemnly to the Bodhi tree.
"Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where is the dust." Wang Baoyu remembered the poem he remembered and read it casually.
After Xiangju heard this, he was surprised, and hurriedly arched his hand towards Wang Baoyu and said, "My subordinates never expected that the king would understand Zen principles. ”
"There is no lack of Zen, it should be a masterpiece!" Zhuge Liang also praised from the bottom of his heart.
Wang Baoyu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I'm just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, people like me are afraid that they won't have any fate with Buddha." ”
"Without fate, how could King Hanxing come here, according to what I saw below, King Hanxing must have a great fate with the Buddha." Xiangju smiled and complimented.
Subsequently, Wang Baoyu and Zhuge Liang carefully searched for a large circle under the tree, but did not find anything left by Pujing and Guoguo, and they couldn't help but be disappointed.
Outside the stone wall, there was a sudden cry of sheep, which seemed to be very frightened, Wang Baoyu hurriedly ran out and saw a local girl, holding a whip in her hand, wiping her tears and crying.
