Chapter 63 The Old Man with a Heart Zhao Zimeng has far-reaching concerns
Zhao Zimeng took the small notebook, and Director Wang and Ling Hu Yunfei sat on both sides of Zhao Zimeng.
The contents of the booklet (which are very beautiful letters) are (the font is exactly the same as the calligraphy on the three yellow slips of paper):
On April 5, 1977, tonight, on the way back to Mingchen'an, I saw a man and a woman in the woods, they whispered in the bamboo forest, and they were very affectionate. ”
I was going to take a detour through the woods, but unexpectedly, the two of them suddenly stood up and walked towards the back door of the Ming Chen'an. I followed from a distance, looking at her size and the way she walked, and the woman looked very much like a person, except that her clothes were not like hers, and everything else was different.
"This 'she' is Huijue." Silently abbot said.
"What kind of dress is this woman wearing?"
"It was a very long dress, and it was brightly coloured – it was a pink dress; The hair is very long. ”
Pink clothes should be pajamas; Long hair should be a wig.
Zhao Zimeng continued to look down:
"I watched them walk into the back door of the Ming Chen'an, I unlocked the door, followed from a distance, and watched the two of them walk into the quiet courtyard."
The diary came to an abrupt end.
Abbot Silent turned to the next one:
"April 6, 1977. This morning, when Abbot Hui Jue was presiding over the puja, he was not as energetic as before, his concentration was not as good as before, he kept yawning before and after the puja, and his body shook quite badly. ”
After the three of them finished reading, Abbot Mo Ran turned to the back page:
On December 14, 1991, a few days ago, Jingping suddenly said goodbye, some people said that they saw Jingping go down the mountain, why did Jingping leave Mingchen Nunnery silently?
Before, a few people had quietly left the Mingchen Temple, and several people left the Mingchen Temple in the same way.
In the temple, no matter who goes down the mountain to do business, they will greet the poor nuns, especially Jingping and Qingshui. Master Mo Fei once said that the truth that people who escape into the empty door will never turn back, has never been there before-Master Mo Fei has a lot of doubts about the monks and nuns in the temple to return to the laity. Besides, the treatment of those nuns who serve the abbot in the temple is relatively high, they do not have to go down the mountain to change their fate, nor do they have to do miscellaneous labor, and they do not get tired of Buddhism and the idea of reincarnation. ”
"Abbot Moran, who is this master Fei?"
"Master Fei has already been an ancient Chinese New Year, when she was alive, she mentioned this matter to me, and the poor nun was young at the time, and she didn't take her words seriously."
"When did Master Fei make an ancient master?"
"The year of liberation."
That is to say, when the abbot Yijing was alive, there were also cases of monks and nuns missing in Mingchen Nunnery.
Everything in the diary is an objective narrative with few subjective conclusions. However, it can be seen that Abbot Murran has deep thoughts in the narration, and the narration itself shows that Abbot Murran has ideas about the things narrated.
Abbot Murran has his own thoughts on many phenomena, please see the following:
July 1, 1985: Today, Abbot Huijue arranged for Xiuzhu to bathe and shave in the quiet courtyard. When I first came to Mingchen Temple, Mingchen Temple has a special bathing place, I don't know when it started, Abbot Huijue put the bathing place in the quiet courtyard, and the abbot of Yijing is also like this, and the place of bathing in the quiet courtyard seems to have started from the abbot of Yijing. Why change the bathing place to a secluded courtyard?
Moreover, all the people who bathed in the secluded courtyard were the personal attendants of the abbot.
Since they were personal attendants, why didn't the abbot let them live in the secluded courtyard? The place in the quiet courtyard is very large, and it is enough for ten attendants.
Again, this diary contains only thoughts and questions, no conclusions.
Now, we all know why the two abbots changed their bathing place to a secluded courtyard. This shows that Abbot Moran's original thinking was not mediocre. Excessive anxiety.
Under the guidance of Abbot Mo Ran, the three of them also read three diaries, and after reading these three diaries, the four of them had to admire Abbot Mo Ran's keen observation and meticulous character.
It's a sin, sooner or later you have to take it to the sun to dry, the Buddha doesn't ask, God asks, God doesn't ask, someone asks. The three notes that Abbot Mo Ran secretly passed to his comrades were by no means impulsive.
Undoubtedly, Abbot Murran's three notes played a vital role in the investigation of the disappearance of Ming Chen'an.
Below, let's take a look at these three short diaries:
The first diary:
"On May 9, 1950, I hadn't seen Xici for two days, and when I asked, I found out that Xici had gone down the mountain. Xici and I have always had a good relationship, she usually goes down the mountain to do errands, she will greet me, that is, to the well to fetch water, she will come to me to sit for a while, say a few words, leaving Mingchen Nunnery such a big thing, why didn't she say goodbye? ”
The second diary:
"On November 3, 1951, today, Anping also left Mingchen Nunnery, I asked many people, but they didn't see Anping leave Mingchen Nunnery with their own eyes, and they didn't know why Anping suddenly left Mingchen Nunnery."
The third diary:
"On February 19, 1953, when I was eating in the dining hall this morning, I heard that Ruoxi had also left Mingchen'an, and that someone had seen her go down the mountain—I asked who had seen her go down the mountain, but to no avail—I thought it was very strange. Last night, Ruoxi sat with me for a short time as usual, and we talked together for a long time—she didn't mention leaving Mingchen Nunnery and looking for another place! ”
When leaving Mingchen Nunnery, Zhao Zimeng also thought of the final destination of Lian Luo Dan and Shang Wenjun.
Needless to say, it was very difficult for two women who had suffered severe physical and mental trauma to return to their families.
Lin Di once communicated with Lian Luodan, before becoming a monk, she had no attachment to the world, after this incident, she still did not change her original idea, she still wanted to find an isolated and pure place to spend the rest of her life.
As for Shang Wenjun, she didn't even want to see her father's face, and she didn't want her father to know what happened to her, her father had a lot of fate in his life, and if she let him know what happened to her daughter, it would be a very cruel thing, and she didn't want to rub salt on her father's wounds anymore.
Therefore, Zhao Zimeng promised Shang Wenjun not to mention anything that had happened, Shang Wenjun only wanted to see his father once, and let his father know that he was still living well in this world, which was enough. Zhao Zimeng promised Shang Wenjun to help her father arrange her future work and life.
Shang Wenjun was very grateful, and she said that she had nothing to worry about anymore. Before she became a monk, she thought she was dead, so although she had experienced an unbearable journey to purgatory, her original intention would not change in the slightest.
Where will the two women end up? For a woman, the monastery is already a place of no return. For a woman whose heart is like water and has made up her mind to be a dusty relationship, in addition to Buddhism, where can she find a more suitable place for them?
Abbot Mo Ran was also very concerned about Jingping and Qing Shui, and she said that if Jingping and Qing Shui were willing to return to Mingchen'an, she and the monks and nuns of Mingchen'an would take good care of them. They are still very young, and as time passes, they will slowly forget the past and the pain they have suffered in the past, and as long as they live, they should face God with gratitude.
After listening to Abbot Moran's words, Zhao Zimeng felt a little sad and sad. It's not easy for people to live in this world.
After that, Abbot Moran also promised Zhao Zimeng: When Jingping and Qing Shui calmed down and came to their senses, she would persuade them to return to their relatives. People can't take the monastery as their final destination and lifelong support unless they have to.
Master Mo Ran said what was from his heart - and the truth.
Listening to Abbot Moran's words, Zhao Zimeng's heavy mood was a little relieved.
Director Wang promised to personally inquire about this matter, and she was also inclined to let Shang Wenjun and Lian Luodan return to Mingchen Nunnery temporarily, if they wanted the two women to have no distractions, heal their wounds well, and live a normal and peaceful life, the comrades still had to make some efforts.
In the evening, Zhao Zimeng, Ling Hu Yunfei, Xiang Daimo and Lin Di interrogated Huijue.
This interrogation should be much easier for the comrades. All the facts and evidence of the crime are placed there, this interrogation is not to let Huijue confess anything, but to let Huijue confirm all the facts and evidence, the confessions of Huijue and Zhizhen are combined to corroborate each other and form a final conclusion, to put it bluntly, this interrogation is nothing more than a procedure.
Of course, this interrogation is very important to the comrades, although Shang Wenjun and Lian Luodan have provided a lot of very important information to the comrades, but it involves privacy and difficult details, and it is inconvenient for Zhao Zimeng to ask questions. Therefore, in order to understand all the circumstances, especially some details, you also need a confession from Huijue.
At 6:45, Hui Jue was brought into the interrogation room.
At seven o'clock, the interrogation began on time.
Zhao Zimeng was in charge of the interrogation, and Lin Di was in charge of the records.
Huijue's face was haggard and his expression was depressed. She is like a ball that has run away, and the whole person is like a fritter that has been placed for three days, soft. Huijue's spirit had collapsed, as could be seen from the way she looked and the way she sits.
"Huijue, are you still unwilling to confess your crimes?"
Huijue looked at Zhao Zimeng's face and blinked a few times, but she didn't speak, probably because she hadn't figured out what to say. Or maybe it's still a fluke.
"You may not have thought that Zhizhen has been arrested by us, we also found Jingping in the secret room of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and with Jingping there is Qing Shui, and we also found the body of Zhishui in the secret room."
