Chapter 194: Tea in a Cup
The old monk looked at Lu Mengjian with a smile, and his wise and humble eyes made Lu Mengjian feel uncomfortable.
"The 'female' benefactor isn't a local, is she?"
"Well, the little 'girl' is from Puran City, and she has only been in Kyoto for a few months." Murong Yanyan opened her mouth to answer for Lu Mengjian, but the old monk shook his head.
"What, isn't that right?"
The old monk smiled and said nothing, and Murong Yanyan turned her head to look at Lu Mengjian.
"I was indeed in Pulan City when I woke up, but I was seriously injured once, so I forgot all about the previous events," Lu Mengjian avoided the old monk's gaze, she didn't belong to this world, but she didn't want to be treated as a monster, let alone the people of this world.
"Forget well, how many people in this world, they can't forget if they want to, forget it. Singing and crying, forgetting to purify one's heart, laughing and not saying anything about the previous life. The old monk turned the rosary in his hand, as if smiling.
Lu Mengjian pondered the meaning of his words, but his heart seemed to be clenched by a fist, and he was forced to dare not breathe.
"There are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness, death, love and separation, resentment for a long time, can't ask for it, and can't let go. You just say you forgot, but you don't know if you've really let go. After the old monk finished speaking, he lifted the teapot and poured water into the teacup in front of Lu Mengjian, but there was already more than half a cup of water in the cup, and with the injection of water, the water finally overflowed.
Lu Mengjian couldn't help but speak, "Master, the water is full." ”
The old monk still kept pouring, the water overflowed the table, dripping to the ground in bunches, and the old monk finally lifted the teapot.
"Life is like this teacup, how much tea can be held is fate. If you are unwilling to pour out the cold tea because of the obsession in your heart, even if there is a lot of good tea in the future, it can only flow in vain. ”
Lu Mengjian looked at the teacup in front of her in a daze, the cold tea in this cup, just like her previous life, she had too many worries, and she couldn't give up to this day, but she was too worried in her heart, but she couldn't better feel the world in front of her.
If she can't go back in this life, then she will become a burden if she leaves these thoughts empty......
Murong Yanyan looked at Lu Mengjian with a little surprise in her eyes, before recognizing her relatives, she and Huo Shuangjiang had specially inquired about Lu Mengjian's life experience, but everything before she was picked up and returned to the Lin Mansion was blank, listening to the abbot's meaning, it seemed that there was something else in it.
There was a smell of fasting in the air, and the old monk folded his hands, "Amitabha, donor, today's temple is fasting, if the two of you don't dislike it, please come with the old man." ”
Murong Yanyan got up immediately, she had been incense in this temple all the years, and naturally knew the abbot's temper, so she nodded slightly to signal Lu Mengjian, followed the abbot together, and walked to the room.
The pilgrim's room is very small, only three wooden tables are placed, only for the noble lady who usually comes to the temple to pray for blessings and incense, so the room is small, but it is extremely 'fine', although it is a little simple at first glance, but when you look closely, there are great articles in every corner.
At this time, Mrs. Wu and Qin Luofu had finished worshipping in front of the Buddha and sat in the fasting room to rest.
Qin Luofu saw Lu Mengjian enter the 'door', her face was obviously unhappy, and Mrs. Tongwu muttered in a low voice, "It's really a narrow road, how can there be her everywhere!" ”
Mrs. Wu gently patted the 'girl's hand' and met Murong Yanyan's gaze with a smile, "Sister, it's really a coincidence, we met again." ”
"But isn't it, I'll just say that our sisters are destined," Murong Yanyan responded with a smile, and her eyes looked around the room, the table where Mrs. Wu was located was close to the window, and through the window you could see the scene of the distant mountains, the scenery was the most beautiful, and the mountain breeze blew, it was very cool, and it had always been Murong Yanyan's best choice.
There were two large wooden tables neatly placed in the two corners of the room, but the light was far less bright than the window, Murong Yanyan frowned unconsciously.
"Mother, I'm tired and want to go back to my room to rest first." When Qin Luofu saw Lu Mengjian, the whole person was extremely uncomfortable, and she stood up and wanted to leave.
Murong Yanyan looked at Qin Luofu with concern, "Luofu, let's go and take a good rest when you're tired, it's not easy to conceive a child, not to mention that after sitting in the car for so long, you must be tired." ”
"Thank you for your concern, Love's retirement first." Qin Luofu bent her knees slightly, turned around and walked towards the guest room of the temple. As soon as they arrived on the mountain, Mrs. Wu was worried that Qin Luofu would not be able to stand the long carriage rush, so she found a room in the temple, wanting to rest for a night before returning.
Mrs. Wu was about to get up and chase after Qin Luofu, but she didn't expect Murong Yanyan to sit directly opposite her, and said with a smile: "Sister, then sister will sit with you and chat for a while, how many years have our sisters not been together to talk about themselves." ”
"Hehe, yes, I always wanted to visit my sister a few days ago, but there are too many things about Love's marriage, so it has been delayed, my sister is really good now," Mrs. Wu maintained a decent smile, but secretly worried about Qin Luofu in her heart, this child is too willful, and she will leave alone without waiting for her, but this temple has always been peaceful, and it should be fine.
"Hey, people are getting old, and they can't be the same as when they were young, but my sister hasn't changed much, she's still so young," Murong Yanyan 'touched' and 'touched' her face, and her skin was obviously a little saggy.
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she was very mindful in her heart, she couldn't compare to Murong Yanyan when she was young, but when she got old, she couldn't swallow that breath in her heart, and she wanted to compete with her.
Lu Mengjian listened to the two praising each other, and didn't make a sound, just quietly looked at the meal presented in front of her, she was still thinking about the old monk's words, and she was a little apprehensive in her heart, did the old monk really see that he didn't belong to this world?
But if this is the case, why didn't the old monk reveal her identity, and who is the owner of this body?
Lu Mengjian was in a trance, and suddenly heard Murong Yanyan say: "Since the two 'daughters' got married, my heart has always felt empty, you don't know, my son knows about trouble all day long, and I have a headache when I think of him." I didn't expect the dream note to clean him up properly, don't say it, this 'girl' really knows how to hurt people more than my own 'daughter'! ”
"Hehe, sister, your blessing is really good!" Mrs. Wu's face was a little unbearable, who didn't know that her 'son-in-law' didn't even return to her home because of this Lu Mengjian, she couldn't wait to tear the face of this fox 'spirit', but in front of Murong Yanyan, she had to maintain her demeanor.
Lu Mengjian was inexplicably involved in the conversation between the two, she was speechless, she hated to turn into air by herself, but obviously in this case, she seemed to have become the topic of conversation between the two, and she couldn't hide.
After eating a fast meal, Lu Mengjian was glad that he could finally go home, but he didn't expect Murong Yanyan to pull Lu Mengjian and go to the guest room in the temple again, Murong Yanyan would stay here for one night every time she went up the mountain, and this time was no exception, but Lu Mengjian couldn't help but have a headache when she thought that Qin Luofu was also here.
Murong Yanyan has always had the habit of taking a nap, so Lu Mengjian went for a casual walk outside the room to pass the time.
Because she knew the old 'hair' of the 'spring' peach, Lu Mengjian didn't dare to take her with her when she went out this time, and Murong Yanyan didn't like to be accompanied by her side, so she only brought a personal maid and a few entourages, and they all went out to rest at this moment.
Lu Mengjian was alone in the temple 'chaotic', the temple was wafting everywhere with the smell of sandalwood, and the low chanting sound was very reassuring in the quiet afternoon.
Lu Mengjian has also been to many temples, but most of those temples have become tourist attractions for people to enjoy, with a strong commercial atmosphere, and those monks are mostly professional monks, chanting scriptures during the day and being vulgar at night, and even most of them have family 'women', no longer monks in the popular sense, and the people who enter the temple are no longer pious pilgrims. In those days when there was no faith, everyone was like a traveler.
But the temple in front of him made Lu Mengjian feel at ease, and Lu Mengjian suddenly remembered the wonderful 'jade', the arrogant 'girl' under the ancient Buddha of the green lantern, if she had nothing to worry about, it was also a pleasure to cut her hair for a nun.
Lu Mengjian wandered around, and unconsciously came to the listening hall, where the sound of wooden fish and the little monk whispered silently reciting the scriptures under the hall, which really made people drowsy.
The sweeping monk at the entrance of the 'door' dozed off in the shade of the tree with a broom, and his delicate and white little face made people can't help but look at it twice, Lu Mengjian turned his head and looked at it and smiled secretly, if there is a camera to record this shot, a group of '' and 'women' on the Internet will definitely set off a monk fever again.
Lu Mengjian looked at the little monk inadvertently, only feeling cute and funny, but her smile was seen by another person.
Qin Luofu hid in the dark, looked at Lu Mengjian and then at the little monk, and snorted coldly, it was in vain that she quietly followed this noon, since her 'yin' soul is not gone, then she will let this fox 'spirit' show her original form in public!
"Seeing that little monk, you find a little monk in the evening, go to find this little monk, and tell him, the abbot said that he dozed off when sweeping the floor, and accused him of kneeling in the listening hall tonight, remember?" Qin Luofu glanced at Cai Ling, this girl has been distracted for some reason recently.
Cai Ling nodded, but her eyes kept drifting over there.
"Okay, don't look at it, I'm tired after leaving this noon, send me back," Qin Luofu turned around tiredly, and somehow she was wrong, she has always been lazy lately, when she asked the doctor, the doctor always said that it was okay, and Qin Luofu didn't care.
"Yes, less 'milk' and 'milk', punish the little monk, if the abbot knows, will it ......" Before Cai Ling finished speaking, Qin Luofu suddenly stopped and glanced at her coldly.
"What, do you have a crush on that little monk?"
"No, no, less 'milk' 'milk', I'm just worried, we're here to pray for the little master, if you do this, ...... make the abbot angry."
"I'm helping the abbot, the little monk didn't clean the yard well, but stood in the shade of the tree and took a nap, what kind of system is this!" After Qin Luofu finished speaking, she left Cai Ling and walked to the guest room.
