Chapter 25: The Past of the Small Temple [Ask for Collection]

"I don't have the beauty I want!"

If you don't, you won't have it, whether the young lady admits it or not, anyway, the log thinks so.

With the log of spiritual rice, the bamboo shoots of the Buddha will make spiritual rice every day, which is simply not too beautiful. And no one has come in the past few days, it is very quiet, and he also used bamboo shoots to dry some dried bamboo shoots by the way, ready for winter.

Although this late autumn season is not the time to have bamboo shoots, no one dares to say that there will be winter too. It's always right to be prepared.

While the log was enjoying himself on the mountain, there were two people at the bottom of the mountain who were not so comfortable.

"I said Xiao Li, don't you make a mistake, there is a temple on this mountain, since Zen Master Aoki's apprentice left, but no one has taken care of it anymore. It used to be a dilapidated temple, but after a few years, I'm afraid it will collapse early. ”

"Probably not, there were two luxury cars a few days ago, and I wanted to find that temple by name. Li Ergou told them that the temple above had collapsed, but when he came back, he was scolded by them, saying that the temple on the mountain was good! ”

It was Chen Jianye, the village head of Dayang Village at the foot of the mountain, who was preparing to go up the mountain to see what was going on with Xiao Li, a clerk in the village committee.

If you want to say that there is a temple on this mountain, it has been some years.

Decades ago, when Zen Master Aoki was still a young man, he came here and built this temple. It is said that when the temple was built, there were many monks in Qinglian Temple, the great temple of H.

This Aoki Zen Master is also a capable person, not only keeping the Buddhist hall decent. During the busy farming season, he also worked hard from time to time to help the villagers harvest crops.

Not to mention, although Zen Master Aoki sits in the temple all day long, chanting and meditating, he is also a good hand at doing farm work, and few young men in the village can do it.

Therefore, Zen Master Aoki is also very loved by the nearby villagers, and there are some incense in the temple. Although the villagers didn't have much money, the firewood, rice, oil and salt that the villagers gave to Zen Master Aoki never stopped.

Speaking of which, this Aoki Zen Master is not a conservative person, and he is also quite sophisticated, and he also laughed at what the villagers gave him.

But he never takes it in vain, in addition to helping with farm work, every time there is a New Year's holiday, or when there is a red and white celebration, he will write a joint operation. From time to time, he also brought down some of his own vegetables from the mountains to distribute them to everyone.

This was more than 40 years, and then Zen Master Aoki went out, and when he came back, he picked up a small doll out of nowhere and brought it back to the temple. is a person, raising a two or three-year-old doll into a seven- or eight-year-old child.

Later, the child was picked up by his parents, and not long after, Zen Master Aoki also fell ill.

At that time, Zen Master Aoki was also in his 70s, and he could see it. Before leaving, my only wish was that someone could inherit this small temple and continue to do it.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but a few years later, about four or five years ago, the little child that Zen Master Aoki had rescued was somehow found it.

At that time, the child, who was only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, threatened to come to the temple to become a monk.

The people in the village tried their best to dissuade him at that time, but the old Zen master was gone, and there was no one to teach him. After all, he is still young, and he is the age to go to school and learn knowledge. It is indeed not a good choice to give up the good time and stay in this dilapidated temple.

However, I don't know what this young man thought at that time, insisting on shaving his ordination. However, the good times did not last long, and it was not long before the young man's family came to him and brought him back.

There was a rumor in the village that the young man seemed to have some terrible disease, probably some kind of cancer, so he secretly ran out, and I don't know if it's true. Anyway, I haven't been here again, and if the rumors are true, I'm probably no longer here.

For the next few years, the temple was left in ruins, with little movement and no one going up again. This temple is preserved, and this mountain was originally assigned to this temple, and it has continued until now.

The village chief thought of the old Zen master and sighed for a while. I think when Zen Master Aoki first came, he was the same age as his father.

At that time, Chen Jianye was still a hairy young man, but he didn't cause trouble for the old Zen master. And now Chen Jianye has become the village chief, and his children are about to have children.

"Time flies!"

The two walked on the rugged mountain road, and the village chief sighed coldly. When Xiao Li was worried about not answering, the village chief asked him for no reason.

"Xiao Li, do you remember the young man who became a monk here a few years ago, what is his name?"

Xiao Li thought for a moment, and said with some uncertainty.

"I don't remember exactly what it was called."

When Xiao Li said this, he was glared at by the village chief. "What kind of garden wood, don't talk nonsense if you don't remember."

Xiao Li shrugged his shoulders and felt a little aggrieved. He didn't mean to fool the village chief, he remembered that it seemed to be the name. However, he was not easy to refute, not because it was the village chief who spoke, but because he was not sure that he was not mistaken.

Thinking that he was not sure about this, Xiao Li thought of another situation and hurriedly asked the village chief on the side.

"Director, you say that these two dogs are unreliable! Don't fool us by telling nonsense, right? ”

The village chief shook his head slightly after hearing this,

"I don't think so, although these two dogs are lazy and have a bad temper, there is no need to tease us. Besides, isn't this coming soon, won't you know in a moment! ”

Xiao Li nodded again and again after listening, this time the two of them went up the mountain, in addition to wanting to see the current situation of this small temple, more importantly, they had to do one thing next.

The old Zen master has been gone for several years, and the little monk has not yet returned, and it is not a solution for the temple to be so empty. Actually, no, it doesn't matter if it's empty or not, the key is the ownership of this hill.

According to the previous official documents, there is a mountain here, and it belongs to this temple. When the old Zen master was alive, he always carried the name of the old Zen master.

Now that the old Zen master is gone, it just so happens that this year it is time to update the official documents, and it is time to solve this problem. This time, when they heard that someone had gone up the mountain, they immediately came over to see if the little monk had returned.

The two were still walking on the mountain road, Xiao Li was fine, the village chief was already tired and panting, and he kept panting. Finally, the two came to a flat place, and had to stop and rest.

It is halfway up the mountain, and it is about 100 meters high from the top of the mountain. There is an old well in this flat place, which is a mountain spring well, the well is not deep, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a deep pit.

It is said that the old Zen master fetches water from here to the mountains every day, and I heard some old people in the village say that the water from this mountain spring well is sweet and delicious, and it is very delicious. It's just that now the old Zen master is gone, and the mountain spring well has also dried up.

The village chief sighed as he gasped.

"Alas, I'm not as old as the old Zen master at this age, but I'm already too tired to do it, and I don't know how the old Zen master has come over it in the past few decades!"
