The two husbands and wives looked at her calmly, but Wang Shishi was embarrassed, and subconsciously lowered her voice and said: "I came to play with you, but you took care of your own love." It seems that getting married is different, so I'll go find Miss Qin. ”

Hua Manxi was angry, funny, and a little shy, picked up the dishes and chopsticks in one place, put them on the red tray, and said: "What's different, okay, I'll go and see your strange flowers, the eldest lady is well-informed, and it must be a strange thing." ”

Qin Qingrong got up early today, and when she pushed the door, she was already drowsy with one hand on the small couch. Qin Shengsheng was very energetic, and flipped through a few Buddhist scriptures for decoration in the house, but most of them were boring and complicated, and she was not interested, and when she saw Hua Manxi coming, her eyes lit up, and she wanted to pull her to see the 'strange flower'.

It turned out that there was still a small window at the back of the house, but the back was not far from the mountain wall, and the gap was estimated to be impossible for anyone to pass through, but there were some bright wild flowers and weeds growing behind. Hua Manxi poked out his neck to see that there was a strange flower in it, two colors intertwined, and the flowers and leaves were intertwined with each other. Although the stalk is bright red as blood, the petals are very white and clear. It grows under the eaves, and the rain falls in only a little bit, but it absorbs it all.

Next to it grew a sparkling green grass, the grass was streaked with silver lines, and when it swayed, it looked like meteor debris. Hua Manxi supported his chin with one hand, and said with some hesitation: "This looks like an epiphany, and it looks like a dragon's claw flower, maybe it's a new variety in the temple." It's just that I was born here, and I definitely don't want people to know, you see, don't destroy the flowers. ”

Wang Shishi stared at the flower intently, and couldn't help sighing: "I naturally know this truth, but it's really good-looking, if there are a few more, you can choose a branch and transplant it to the house, and take root in the next year, isn't it beautiful?" Hua Manxi smiled slightly, poured her a sip of tea and said: "This is other people's territory, don't think about it, but I asked Hua Yu'er for the 'three inches' of seeds, if it is planted well, next time we can enter the lotus banquet together." ”

Wang Shishi's eyes lit up, and she touched her braids to play with it, and said with a lack of interest: "Although it is a seed that is hard to find, but now it is autumn, no matter how good the lotus blooms, I have to thank most of it, and it can be evergreen all year round, let's talk about it next year." By the way, Manxi, we haven't heard much of this temple before, but I didn't expect it to be built well, and Su Zhai must be good. I'm dying of hunger, let's eat. ”

Everyone climbed the mountain for most of the day, and they were already tired, even if it was a vegetarian meal at the moment, it was enough to be happy, not to mention that the level of this Lanyin Temple was quite good. In the small banquet in the evening, there was a Luo Han Guo porridge, which Hua Manxi also loved very much. Although the taste is sweet, it has the effect of nourishing the body and calming the qi, clearing heat and relieving cough. I'm afraid that a group of young ladies and sons can't get used to it, and there is a dessert called Flower Roll Fruit, which is made of yellow peach meat, yam, jujube paste, and honey osmanthus white sugar, etc., which is fried in clear oil.

Everyone is very satisfied with eating, Hua Manxi because of the previous noodle eating, at the moment with less, but also feel that the belly is swollen, if it is not for the heavy rain outside, at this time go out for a walk, after the rain outside the mountain, the air is fresh, it is definitely an extraordinary enjoyment. Since I've come here, it's not a big deal to go to dogwoods and chrysanthemums tomorrow. The night is bitter, not as usual in the capital, vocal music and dance are enough to have fun, everyone simply sits in a large hall, and several masters sit in front of them, preaching the Dharma.

Hua Manxi listened sleepily, always felt that the left ear entered, the right ear came out, fortunately, the monk who preached the scriptures was very young, his face was as white as jade, and his voice was warm. As he spoke, he had already shut up. When Hua Manxi was dazed, he saw the little novice Huitong who opened the door for them at the beginning, and suddenly shed a tear.

It's really strange, this temple looks like a big family, and he is an empty person, he should be empty and carefree, how can he suddenly cry? With such doubts, Hua Manxi grunted, and fell to the ground unable to support it. Xiao Shami clasped his hands together, said Amitabha, and gently lifted Hua Manxi up and leaned on a soft cushion.

Huitong asked: "Senior Brother Huipu really doesn't break his word, will he let go of your innocent intruders?" The young monk Huijiang who preached the scriptures also returned the salute to him, with deep compassion in his eyes, "Huitong, you are already a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect yourself, so why worry about others?" As long as you hand over the relics of the old host, Senior Brother Huipu will not embarrass you, after all, you are a little novice, helpless, and it is impossible to set off any storms. If you hesitate any longer, I'm afraid these people will all die in their dreams. ”

Xiao Sha Mi Huitong hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "I saved these people today, but more people will die in the future, Senior Brother Huijiang, when we die, can you face the Buddha and say that you are calm and ashamed?" Huijiang paused slightly, closed the door, hung up a big lock, and then held an umbrella and walked towards the wind and rain: "I have always been ashamed, fortunately, there is still hell to go to." ”

Huitong clenched the string of prayer beads, and finally rushed into the wind and rain.

In the past, this Lanyin Temple, I don't know when it was built, the old abbot was still a scholar who traveled to study at that time, his family was wealthy, but he repeatedly failed to pass the exam, and finally saw through the red dust, scattered all the family wealth, and then completed the Lanyin Temple. He spread his kindness and took in many homeless people, and those who were like-minded taught him to leave home. If he is temporarily distraught, he will be provided with a roof from the rain.

About five years ago, the old host had a serious illness and had to recuperate in bed. Hui Yan, the Hui Pu brothers, who he had taken a fancy to before, gradually presided over the overall situation. At the beginning, Xiao Shami Huitong also felt that there was nothing bad, he was just an orphan, the old host was his closest person, and the rest of the senior brothers treated him well. However, Hui Yan and Hui Pu gradually closed the mountain gate, and only on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, people would come up to burn incense.

The rest of the time, the people who came to the door were some high-ranking officials and nobles. The Buddha said that all beings are equal, and Huitong didn't understand why, but when he thought about it, it seemed to be good for the temple, so he quietly shut his mouth, and only silently took care of the old host every day and cultivated his Buddha. Later, Huitong noticed that something was wrong, those dignitaries who came to offer incense, some of them came in, and never went out, they seemed to disappear into this temple quietly.

A few days ago, he was carrying a wooden basin, ready to wipe the old host's body and change his clothes, when he heard the two brothers arguing with the old host. Hui Pu said impatiently: "You are all a piece of rotten wood, why bother with those who have it or not, that's right, our brother is doing things for an adult in the capital." But so what? Life in the world, who doesn't want to live for themselves, just your previous kung fu of scattering wealth, do you think that if it weren't for us, would this Lanyin Temple still be able to maintain until now? ”

The old host was furious, but he was now seriously ill and had difficulty standing, so he had to knock on the bed and say, "What nonsense!" My Buddha cultivates compassion, but you are addicted to gold, silver, money, fame and fortune, even if the Lanyin Temple falls and scatters, you should not be someone else's sword. People are doing it, the heavens are watching, and one day, the Buddha will cut down the golden thunder to punish you for your crimes. ”

He coughed as he spoke, and finally there was already blood, and he trembled and said: "The demon is one foot high, the road is one foot high, don't think that I am old, and I can't control you." I entrust a thing to my disciple, and if I die, he will go to the capital to sue you and make your crimes public—"

In the end, he didn't say the word world, but Hui Pu covered his mouth, and after struggling a few times, he collapsed on the bed. Huitong covered his mouth and bit the tiger's mouth with his teeth hard, blood flowing, so that he didn't cry.

When you think about it, these things happened in a blink of an eye, but it seems like a long, long time has passed. Hui Pu Huiyan knew that only he still paid attention to taking care of the old monk on weekdays, and the first suspicion locked on him. But after turning his meditation room over and over again, and digging into the small places he often visited, there was no clue, and he couldn't help but be angry and annoyed. If it weren't for the nobleman's order, he wouldn't be able to move half of Huitong's hair, and he would have been hung up and tortured a long time ago, where could he still move freely, but he couldn't run down the mountain.

Originally, he had nothing, in fact, he didn't know at all, the old host had something left for him, continue to persevere, Huitong didn't know how long he could hold on, but a group of more than 20 people came, and he really had to make a decision. What kind of person Hui Pu Huiyan is, Hui Tong already knows very well, if he doesn't say something useful, these people will die on the mountain.

The blood and pain hidden in the wind and rain were not his illusions and auditory hallucinations. Huitong looked calm, dragging the wet monk's robe into the hall, he didn't know what could be done to save those innocent donors, and he already had the thought of death in his heart. I just ask Hui Pu Hui to say, for the sake of a few years of brotherhood, the clues have been cut off, and those innocent people can be spared. Fortunately, they are all children of rich families, presumably with noble status, if they die, it will not be easy to deal with, maybe they will be kind.

He entered the brightly lit hall, bowed deeply on the ground, and did not grovel to Hui Pu and Hui Yan, but to the old host, who was also restless in the spirit of heaven, and then took out a thin knife in the kitchen to cut vegetables, and was about to kill himself. As soon as the hand was raised, only to hear a small dinging sound, Hui Zhizhi felt a soreness in his five fingers, and he could no longer hold the knife, and fell to the ground with a clatter.

A man came leisurely, carrying the wind and rain, covered his face with silver armor, and said lightly: "Little master, you haven't reached a desperate situation yet, why rush to die?" You think we're butterflies that hit a spider's web, but I don't know if I'm not a yellow finch behind? Those who are tied up will leave you alive. The thief will let you die today. ”
