CHAPTER XVI. The Old Abbot's Open and Honest Diary Reveals Information
The windows of the first room were also sealed, and Zhao Zimeng pushed all the windows again, and all the windows were sealed.
Xiang Daimo tore open a piece of window paper, put his right hand into a relatively large gap, he tried to pull the latch from the window, the latch was pulled up, but the window still could not be opened—the window was nailed with iron nails.
Ling Hu Yunfei walked behind the door of the third room, he wanted to see how the door was fixed to the door frame, unfortunately, the door was hinged to the door frame. It is clear that the doors of both rooms are hinged to the door frames.
If the door has a hinge and a socket, it can be lowered.
The situation at hand is that the door can only be opened if the lock is opened.
After leaving the Tibetan Scripture Hall, Zhao Zimeng immediately sent Xiang Daimo and Xiao Luhan to find the locksmith Qian Shihuai, while the others returned to the Xichan Temple.
Qian Shihuai is an old locksmith, he has been dealing with locks for decades, and even the lock of the safe can be opened, and Qian Shihuai has an inconspicuous small shop at the entrance of Sanshan Street.
Zhao Zimeng and Linghu Yunfei sent Xiang Daimo and Xiao Luhan to the gate of the nunnery and returned to the West Chan Temple.
Zhao Zimeng and Linghu Yunfei walked into the meditation room, and Abbot Huijue was sitting on a chair.
Originally, Zhao Zimeng said that he would go to the quiet courtyard to visit the abbot of Huijue, but he didn't expect the abbot of Huijue to come by himself.
Zhao Zimeng and Abbot Huijue said a few kind words, and sat on the meditation bed with Linghu Yunfei.
"Abbot Huijue, it's so late, you haven't rested yet!" Zhao Zimeng said.
"Captain Zhao, the poor nun came to visit late at night, and there is something important to say." Abbot Huijue whispered softly.
"Thank you, Abbot Huijue, Abbot, please speak."
"Captain Zhao, after thinking about it, Poor Ni decided to tell you what he knew—the stakes are very high, and Poor Ni can't help but say it. I hope that the comrades will not blame the poor nun for deliberately concealing it. ”
"How so?"
"The poor nuns don't want to see the comrades working too hard, and they don't want the comrades to be busy in vain and take detours."
"Thank you."
"Poor nuns once promised Jingping to keep secrets forever, poor nuns are the abbots of Mingchen Nunnery, and they never lose their trust in others, but Buddhism is not as big as the law of the country, I believe that Jingping will not blame poor nuns."
"Abbot, please speak."
"Captain Zhao can take a look at this diary and know why Jingping came to Mingchen Nunnery to become a monk—and maybe why she left Mingchen Nunnery suddenly." Abbot Huijue said as he took out a black-colored notebook from his bosom.
The size of the notebook is exactly the same as the blue notebook in the hands of the comrades, and the thickness is about the same.
Zhao Zimeng took the notebook from Abbot Huijue's hand and turned to the first page, the first diary was dated July 19, 1987.
"Captain Zhao, the contents of the diary, you have time to read it slowly, and the poor nun will give you a general description of what you know."
"Abbot Huijue, thank you."
"No thanks, Buddhism is compassionate, and it is the duty of Buddhism to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and Captain Zhao doesn't have to be polite. As the old saying goes, good deeds don't necessarily lead to good results. Although the poor nun lost his words in silence, he consciously took it for granted. ”
What Abbot Huijue said must have something to do with the contents of the diary.
Zhao Zimeng was in awe, and he changed his opinion of Abbot Huijue in an instant.
"When Jingping went up the mountain, I talked with her for a long time, and according to the judgment of the poor nun, Jingping's fate was difficult to break, but under the circumstances at that time, the poor nun could not help but take her in."
"Why is that?"
"Jingping came to Mingchen Nunnery to become a monk, completely because of an unspeakable fate in the world."
"What misfortune?"
It should be mentioned in the diary.
"Her adoptive father ...... her when she was twelve"
Abbot Huijue only said half a sentence, but everyone had fully understood.
The five people looked at each other: Lian Luodan's temperament had changed radically at the age of twelve, and it had already been reflected in these photos. Abbot Huijue's words further confirmed Xiang Daimo and Lin Di's superficial analysis of a few photos.
Zhao Zimeng's expression was solemn, and his originally deep gaze became more and more profound.
"Jingping is a very kind girl, the problem is in her kindness, and there is a weak side in her overly kind character. Her adoptive father took advantage of this. ”
Peng Jiazhen and the neighbors also commented on Lian Luodan.
"These contents are written in the diary more obscurely, but the meaning is very clear, in fact, Jingping's original intention was not to escape into Buddhism, but she encountered a hurdle that she couldn't pass."
"What's the hurdle you can't overcome?"
I am afraid that there is something more unbearable than enduring the ravages of Alchemia for a long time.
"Do you know that Jingping has suffered such a thing and still studies hard?"
"Abbot, please."
"Although Jingping is kind and cowardly by nature, her heart is very strong, and she wants to study hard so that she can leave that home one day earlier."
Lian Luodan is really working hard in her studies, and she has also tutored her younger brother Peng Yaozong in his homework.
"But such a gifted and intelligent girl with a good nature, God still didn't give her the love she deserved. If it weren't for the hurdles she couldn't get over, she wouldn't have become a monk. She was a hard-working child. Abbot Huijue wiped his eyes with his hand.
"I want to hear about it."
"She can't be a mother anymore."
"She lost her fertility?"
"Yes, from the age of fourteen to the year before she became a monk, she had three abortions, and the last time she had a baby, the doctor told her that she would have no chance of giving birth in the future." Abbot Huijue wiped the corners of his eyes a few times with his sleeve.
"Under the circumstances, how did she keep the child? In desperation, Jingping still got rid of the child. Her adoptive father also wanted her to get rid of the child. ”
"The year before she became a monk, it was 1990, so why did she not become a monk until 1991?"
What happened later embarrassed her even more. What the poor nun had to say was what came after. ”
"What happened next?"
"Later, her adoptive father introduced her to several objects, and the last one liked her very much, and the two parties had reached the point of talking about marriage, and after the premarital examination, the boy did not say goodbye."
"Why?"
"The boy's mother is a doctor, and during the premarital examination, the boy's mother greeted the person who conducted the premarital examination, and the boy's father is a university professor, and the other party is an intellectual family, how can they tolerate a girl like Jingping marrying into his family."
"This incident hit Jingping very hard. After experiencing this, she thought of becoming a monk. Originally, Jingping had already adapted to the life of the temple, and if it weren't for her parents, especially her mother, who often came to disturb the temple, she would not have left Mingchen'an. ”
"So, if you want to find Jingping, you still have to go to her parents, Jingping is weak and timid by nature, she is unlikely to kill herself, we estimate that she is looking for a secluded place to spend the rest of her life. Her parents may be able to give you some clues. ”
From Lan Simeng's mouth, I learned that Alchem Luo Dan had several diaries, and if Alchemy Luo Dan handed over his diary to Abbot Huijue for safekeeping, it should not be one diary; Moreover, the diary is the belongings of Alchemist Luodan, and there are some contents in the diary that belong to personal privacy, how can Alchemist Luodan be relieved to hand it over to others?
There seems to be only one answer, that is, Abbot Huijue is a person who alchemy Luo Dan trusts very much.
Also, why did Jingping hide his diary and pen from elementary school under his bed?
This was just Zhao Zimeng's thoughts, and he didn't mention the matter of the other diaries to Abbot Huijue.
After sending off Abbot Huijue, the five of them flipped through Jingping's diary under the lamp.
Before walking out of the meditation room, Abbot Huijue particularly emphasized: "What Poor Ni just said was told to me by Jingping in private, and it was not so specific in the diary, but it should be able to see some clues." ”
Zhao Zimeng first put the two diaries together for comparison, in order to confirm whether the second diary was Jingping's diary.
After comparison, the diary handed over to Zhao Zimeng by Abbot Huijue was indeed Jingping's diary.
Zhao Zimeng flipped from the back to the front, and the five people wanted to know what happened to Jingping before he left Mingchen Nunnery, and now, they could only think so, and Abbot Huijue used indisputable facts to once again confirm that Jingping had indeed left Mingchen Nunnery.
Since Jingping has the habit of writing a diary, he will definitely write down the things that happened before leaving Mingchenan and what he thought in his heart.
The last diary was written on January 1, 1992, and according to the information in the hands of the comrades, the time when Lian Luodan left Mingchen Nunnery should have been after January 1.
The contents of the diary also confirmed the judgment of the five people.
Let's take a look at the last diary:
On January 1, 1992, the weather was cloudy.
"Recently, I have often had nightmares, I thought that Mingchen Nunnery was the place where I settled down, but I didn't expect my mother to come up the mountain more and more times, as soon as I saw her, my heart was very uncomfortable, very painful, and my mood could not calm down for a long time. Seeing my mother's desperate eyes, I was even more desperate, she wanted to know why I came to Mingchen'an, can I tell her? ”
"I want to live my life here in peace, but God can't satisfy even this little wish. Abbot Huijue asked me to let go of all distractions and have no distractions. In front of the Buddha, people are very small, just a pair of skins. But it's hard for me to let go of all distractions, and I'm afraid that only when I go to a place where no one knows can my mood really calm down. ”
"Where is my place to live?"
Zhao Zimeng used a pen to write on "I thought that Mingchen Nunnery was the place where I settled down", "Can I tell her?" "I'm afraid that only when I go to a place where no one knows can my mind calm down" and "Where is my place to live?" A wavy line was drawn underneath the four sentences.
The message of these four sentences is:
First, Jingping has the meaning of leaving Mingchen Nunnery, and this "leaving" has two meanings, one is to spend the rest of his life in a place where his family can't find it; The second is to end her life, the kingdom of heaven is "a place that no one knows", and only when she goes to the kingdom of heaven can her mood really calm down. This can also be seen in the "Where is my place to live?" The fact is that apart from Ming Chen'an, there is really no other place to settle down in Luo Dan.
