Chapter 59: Puzzle Clearing
The place where Xu Cheng led Song Jianqiu was not far away, in fact, it was in the meditation room next door, and it was only a few steps away.
When I got to the door, I could faintly hear the crisp sound of wooden fish coming from inside.
Standing at the door, Xucheng knocked on the door, and without waiting for the people inside to respond, he directly pushed the door open and led towards Song Jianqiu.
Song Jianqiu nodded slightly, and then walked in with some curiosity.
After entering the house, you can see that it is a large area of the Buddha hall, and when you raise your eyes, you can see a huge, vertical relief Buddha statue; In front of the Buddha statue, incense tables, incense and candle offerings are just like other temples.
This Buddha statue is very tall, with a roof on its head, standing in place, Song Jianqiu took a few looks, but she didn't know much about Buddhism, and she didn't know who this Buddha statue was, so she didn't care.
She heard the sound of a wooden fish coming from a door on the side, and was about to look for it, but found that the leader of the way, Xucheng, did not follow.
She looked back, folded her hands, stood at the door with a smile, and said, "Please go in!" The Pure Stone host is waiting for you inside. ”
She had already reached the ground, so she naturally had nothing to retreat from, so she only nodded slightly to Xucheng, and then walked over to find the sound of the wooden fish that had only sounded for a long time.
The inner room is a small meditation room, covering an area of not much, about 30 square meters, at a glance, you can see a kind face, with a white long beard of the old monk, sitting on the futon on the ground, in front of a four-legged low table, one hand holding the Buddha beads, the mouth is chanting, the other hand holds the wooden fish Qianzhi, as if frozen, for a long time.
Except for a huge Zen character on the wall behind it, there is no other decoration in this Zen room.
Maybe it was outside the house before, the sound of the wooden fish was not real, and when Song Jianqiu entered the house, the Qianzhi that had fallen for a long time just knocked down and landed on the wooden fish.
Boom!!
She only felt a heartstring move, suddenly, she seemed to be in the middle of a thousand meters in the sky, a sea of clouds in front of her, looking into the distance, the Buddha light bloomed in the depths of the sea of clouds, a strong and loud Sanskrit sound throughout the world, and suddenly the clouds were opened, making the sky cloudless, revealing a piece of blue.
This picture is only for a short moment, before she can react, this scene is like a bubble, quickly faded without a trace, and when she came back to her senses, she returned to reality, still standing at the door and not moving, and at this time, the old monk who was still sitting there chanting the scriptures before, but he had put down his hand and no longer chanted, only looking at her with a smile.
was stunned, at this time she didn't want to be entangled in whether it was an illusion just now, or what was going on, seeing the old monk looking at her with a smile, she saluted and greeted him.
"Hello Master!" This old monk should be in his seventies when he looks old, no matter how advanced the other party's so-called cultivation is, at least in terms of age, she has to be a little polite.
"Hello little donor!" This old monk is naturally the master of Jingshi, the presiding officer of Lingyan Temple. He nodded with a smile, but greeted Song Jianqiu quite warmly: "The cold house is simple, don't dislike it, don't dislike it, sit down!" ”
There were no normal chairs in the room, only three futons; One of them was sat by the old monk, and the remaining two were across from him, apparently for the guests to sit on.
Song Jianqiu glanced at it, then chose the one on the left and sat down cross-legged.
The whole process, Jingshi presided over with a smile and watched, and when Song Jianqiu sat down, he picked up Qianzhi again, knocked on the wooden fish, and then put it down, just when she didn't know what Jingshi's action was, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her, and when she looked back, she saw a strange monk holding a set of tea sets and walked in.
didn't speak, just put the tea set on the low table between the two, then bowed and withdrew.
Only then did Song Jianqiu understand that when he knocked on the wooden fish just now, he was asking people to serve tea!
"Do you have a lot of doubts in the little benefactor's heart?" Jingshi presided over the hot water that had already been prepared and began to brew tea.
"Please also ask the master to solve the doubts." Song Jianqiu is neither humble nor arrogant, and her response looks very mature and steady, not like a teenage girl at all.
However, after Song Jianqiu said this, the host of Jingshi no longer spoke, but concentrated on making tea.
As soon as she saw this situation, she knew that the tea had to be brewed before the other party could speak, so she waited patiently.
Jingshi's technique of making tea is very smooth, warmware, tea, brewing, etc., a series of actions are smooth and clean, obviously not once or twice like this to make tea.
Speaking of which, Song Jianqiu used to drink tea, as a yard farmer who often worked overtime, how could he not drink something to refresh himself in the middle of the night? It's just that everyone else drinks coffee, but she drinks strong tea, which is the kind of cheap tea leaves, grab a pinch and put it in a thermos cup, and then rush the freshly boiled boiling water, soak it for a while, and you can drink it.
She has only seen such a brewing method as an old monk in TV movies, but she has never drunk it, after all, there is no need for cheap tea like the one she bought.
Low-end tea, no matter how good you brew it, there is still only that bitter taste!
After the tea was brewed, the host of Jingshi stopped, poured the tea into the sea of tea, and then poured it into the tea cup, and then handed it to Song Jianqiu.
Song Jianqiu picked up the teacup, the tea had not yet been eaten, and she had already smelled the faint fragrance of tea, and when she took a sip on the side of her mouth, a bitter taste instantly filled her mouth, and then in an instant, the bitter taste subsided, and an evocative sweetness surged up, which made her can't help but exclaim: "Good tea!" ”
Although it was only a teenage girl sitting across from her, after hearing this admiration, Jingshi's face was as if she had been praised by some big person, and she smiled so hard that even wrinkles piled up.
He picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, and after putting it down, he didn't wait for Song Jianqiu to ask, as if he knew what the other party wanted to ask in his heart, and said it to himself.
"The world is turbid, Taoism, Buddhism and demon exterminators coexist in the world, it seems to be peaceful, but secretly it is the ups and downs of demons, and the anger is turbulent,......"
It is not a secret thing, but an unknown world beneath this world.
Just like the whole world has black and white sides, the white side is the modern scientific and technological society, and the black side is the deeds of the demons dancing wildly and the vicissitudes of righteousness.
For Song Jianqiu, this is indeed something she urgently needs to know and understand, and it is even more important than knowing how to exorcise ghosts and subdue demons.
Because, as long as she knows what this side is all about, she can know what to do and how to face it in the future.
So, she listened very carefully.
