The great monk is the abbot of Ganlu Temple, but his residence is different from the previous abbots, but a small bamboo building is built near the back mountain.

The winter is cold, can not make a fire, the summer to recruit insects, sprinkled with insect repellent medicine, there are still often snakes and insects crawling near the bamboo building, it is really not a good place to live, but the big monk lives very happy.

When Yan Juan and Xie Chen arrived at Xiaozhulou, they happened to catch up with the big monk and were about to go out.

Seeing the oncoming boy and girl, Pudu touched the thin layer of beard on his chin and said, "You guys wait outside for a while." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and entered the small bamboo building again.

"Is the great monk going to ask us to copy the medical book again?" Yan Wan looked up at Xie Chen beside her.

Xie Chen sighed and said, "Nine times out of ten, this is the case. ”

Sure enough, when the great monk walked out of the small bamboo building, he was holding a medical book that Yan Juan and Xie Chen were very familiar with.

I have copied medical books I don't know how many times, but now, just looking at the cover of the medical book, I can already tell which incurable diseases are recorded in it, and how many prescriptions there are.

According to the usual practice, the dozen or so medical books were taken over by Xie Chen.

The environment of the bamboo building, the great monk himself is used to living, but it is not suitable for Yan Juan and Xie Chen, especially Yan Juan, in the early years, the cold entered the body, and after recuperating for a long time, her cold disease only improved slightly.

Of course, the great monk couldn't tell her to stay in the bamboo building that leaked on all sides.

Every time the two of them copied the book, they were arranged by the great monk in the meditation room of the Bezhi Yuan, the courtyard is the place where the great monk receives pilgrims, and the meditation room where the two of them copy the book is on the very edge, and when the great monk has nothing to do, he will go over to chat with them.

Yan Juan looked at the medical books in Xie Chen's hand that were more than before, and looked at the great monk puzzled: "Why every time we come, you want us to copy the medical books and replace them with scriptures?" ”

"And when other pilgrims come to the temple to recite the Buddha and copy the scriptures, you never persuade them, but when Xie Chen and I do the same, you always find other things to interrupt us, it feels very strange!"

Similar questions, Yan Juan has to say them again every time she comes to Ganlu Temple.

But every time there was no result.

This time, however, something seems to be different.

It was clear that the person who asked was Yan Juan, but Pudu looked at Xie Chen and asked him, "What do you think?" ”

Xie Chen was silent for a moment and returned: "Whether it is copying medical books or copying scriptures, it is a meritorious thing, and it is no different. ”

Yan Juan looked at Xie Chen in surprise, her lips opened slightly, and she almost exclaimed.

Who called Xie Chen's words at this time, compared with what he said before, they were simply two extremes.

In the past, Xie Chen agreed with the idea that copying scriptures accumulates merit for the dead, and like Yan Juan, he believed that the merit of copying medical books was accumulated for the living.

But now, he doesn't seem to think like that.

Pudu recited the Buddha's name, and gently patted Xie Chen's shoulder, "You are a little older now." ”

Seeing that Yan Juan was still ignorant, he sighed, not knowing whether to expect her to continue to be ignorant as always, or to want her to grow up like Xie Chen earlier.

"Yan Wanna!" Pudu called Yan Juan's name earnestly, and paused for a long time before continuing to speak.

was about to speak again, but Xie Chen interrupted him.

"Great monk, look at the pilgrim at the door, did he come to you to explain the signing?"

More than a dozen medical books were stacked on top of each other, and it didn't make Xie Chen unable to see the way clearly, he was still the first one among the few people to see outsiders.

They weren't walking fast, but they were already at the door of Bezhiin.

Yan Juan was still waiting for the words of the great monk, and when she heard Xie Chen's words, she knew that she would not be able to wait for the follow-up she wanted for a while.

She took two steps to the side, took two medical books from Xie Chen's hands, and said to the great monk, "Since someone has already come, you should go and see them first!" ”

"Xie Chen and I will live in the temple for a while longer, and if we have anything to say, it will be the same when we come back."

Some words, missed the opportunity.

Again, that's not what it means.

It may not even have a chance to say anything else.

The great monk wanted to sigh again, but he didn't say anything in the end.

In the meditation room.

The two desks are placed facing each other, and there are pen, ink, paper and inkstones prepared early in the morning, which are the appearance that Yan Juan and Xie Chen are used to.

After years of habit, Yan Juan entered the house, put the medical book in his hand on the desk, pulled over the chair, and began to prepare to copy.

Xie Chen, who has always been in sync with her, is somehow half a beat slower at this time.

Yan Juan held the medical book in one hand and the pen in the other, thought about it, and put down everything in his hand, then looked at the young man opposite.

The young man in black had a stack of medical books in front of him, and he didn't see him tidying it up, so he looked stunned, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

She raised her hand and waved it in front of him, but she didn't see him blink.

At this time, the wrongness in Yan Juan's heart became even more obvious.

She reached out and poked Xie Chen's shoulder, waking the person up from the fugue before she asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Wasn't it okay when I was in the side hall before? Or was it that you were not only bullied by the people of the clan in the capital, but also encountered other things? ”

Xie Chen shook his head: "After I entered Beijing, I lived in the clan study, and I didn't encounter anything else. ”

"Then when the great monk asked you just now, how could you be that way, and after entering the meditation room, you have been wandering around the world, and you are not ready to copy books with me!"

Yan Juan knew that people would have different views on the same thing at different times, but she still couldn't understand when Xie Chen suddenly changed her mind, but she didn't know anything about it.

Shouldn't they have been the same all along!

Xie Chen looked left and right, there were only two people in the meditation room, he and Yan Juan, and there was no one else outside the door.

He paused for a moment, as if to think about how to explain it.

After a while.

Only then did he say: "I forgot to tell you before, on the way back from the capital, I always felt that someone was following me in the dark, and that feeling of peeping did not gradually disappear until I approached Jinguan City. ”

"Because I didn't feel like anyone was snooping on me when I came back, and there were a lot of things after I came back, I forgot about it completely."

"Until just now, I sensed someone snooping on me again."

On the way home from visiting relatives with Mrs. Xie when he was a child, Xie Chen also felt that he was being spied on, but he didn't take it to heart at that time, and he didn't mention it to outsiders, so that the robbers suddenly appeared, and he and Mrs. Xie couldn't escape.

Since then, he has been most disgusted by snoopers.

No matter what the other party's purpose is, as long as he dares to do that kind of thing in front of him, he will inevitably retaliate.

Of course, the other party's purpose is different, and the means of retaliation he gives are also different.

But there is absolutely no reason to let it go easily.

Yan Juan and Xie Chen didn't know who the person who was secretly snooping, and they couldn't find it, so they could only take more precautions to avoid being alone.

After all, no one knows who the secret person is coming for or when he will leave.

is full of how to guard against villains in the dark, and when Yan Juan is copying medical books, he is also dedicated to two things.

But he didn't think about it at all, Xie Chen never mentioned the reason for changing his mind from beginning to end.
