Chapter 8 refers to Bayu
"Hey, hello! This is the 24-hour police hotline of Qingtao City Branch, do you need any help? ”
"Eh, I want to ask Officer Yan to provide some clues about the robbery and murder case, can you ask him to answer the phone?"
"Ahh Wait a minute, I'll help you transfer right away! "This call to the police was made by Gao Chen after he woke up from his cultivation state, although he solved the harmful ghost, but there was still an old man alive!
He has a way to deal with yin and evil, but he can't deal with the living. Soft-heartedness is Gao Chen's biggest flaw, he obviously knows that what the landlady did is resentful, but he can't bear to let him fend for himself, so he remembered the strict police officer, and was ready to inform him of what happened, as for how the landlady would be handled, it was not up to him.
After hanging up the phone, Gao Chen returned the phone to the landlady, and the latter did not react, just stared blankly at a family photo in his hand, this photo should have been taken on the child's birthday, and the family of three on it showed a sweet and happy smile.
Gao Chen was very resistant to such a sad atmosphere, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and turned around to leave here. As for why Gao Chen used someone else's mobile phone to call the police, it was because he no longer needed any communication tools, and no one would contact him anymore.
Not long after Gao Chen left, Officer Yan came to the rental house with several police officers, and after a brief investigation of the scene, he took the landlord and his wife back to the police station to make a record.
This matter is beyond the jurisdiction of ordinary police, so Officer Yan did not publicize it in a big way, and simply dealt with it behind his back.
After writing the record of the strange file, Officer Yan said to himself, "Just be a good person!" Hide the organization? I really want to see what strange tricks they can have! ”
"It smells so good! It turns out that the rice tastes so good! At this moment, Gao Chen is sitting in the dining hall of Zhanshan Temple and eating a lot, even if there is no meat and vegetables, but this vegetarian dish also makes him eat very happily, the most important thing is that it is cheap, five yuan a piece, and he is full.
Zhanshan Temple is a famous Buddhist scenic spot in Qingtao City, every year will attract a large number of foreign tourists to come to burn incense and worship Buddha, every fifteenth day of the first month, all kinds of good men and women are countless.
The reason why Gao Chen came here was mainly to experience the Buddhist land in the mortal world, hoping to solve his doubts, he now felt that he was a bit nondescript, meat and vegetarian were not taboo, wearing modern clothes but using the Buddhist way to exorcise demons and subdue demons, it was always a bit nonsensical.
In order to solve his confusion, Gao Chen decided to visit all the Buddhist monasteries in Qingtao City and revisit his former place along the way
"Youth", recalling the joys, sorrows, and sorrows that have happened! Fahai Temple is just a small temple, and this is also Gao Chen's last stop, he has been influenced by the White Snake since he was a child, so that he has a special feeling for the word Fahai, knowing that this Fahai is not the other Fahai, but he also wants to go in to pay homage.
When Gao Chen pushed open the gate of Fahai Temple, he saw several monks cleaning the courtyard, without the noise and worldliness of ordinary people, there was more purity and tranquility.
"Donor, do you want to burn incense and worship the Buddha or pray for blessings? The temple is barren, and if you want to do large-scale rituals, you have to find another place! ”
"Amitabha, dare to ask the great monk if he can recommend the abbot of your temple to see him? The lay disciples wanted to explore the Dharma with them in order to solve their doubts. Gao Chen's way of greeting made the sweeping monk a little surprised, the monk was suspicious of the eight-foot-tall tattoo in front of him, with sunglasses under his eyes, with an inch head and a weak tattoo looming in his clothes.
"I'm tired of the great virtuous monk to report, this disciple is sincerely petitioning!" Gao Chen insisted on speaking, and looked at the sweeping monk with a firm gaze.
"This, this, the abbot is not..."Before the monk's words were finished, a little novice ran out of the inner courtyard, he first respectfully apologized to the monk, and then said to Gao Chen: "The abbot of Huiyuan has learned that there will be a noble person today, and the special little monk will meet him, please come with me!" With that, he turned and walked to the rear.
After Gao Chen said a word to the sweeping monk in front of him, Amitabha Buddha, he also followed the back of the little novice.
"It seems that there is a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden in this temple! There really is a high-ranking monk. Gao Chen thought so, but he followed the pace of the little novice closely, and he didn't fall half a step!
When he walked to the door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Xiao Shami stretched out his hand and pointed at Gao Chen, and said with a smile: "Donor, please come in, Abbot Huiyuan is waiting for you inside!" The little monk retired first. ”
"Tired Shami leads the way, Amitabha!" After Gao Chen thanked Xiao Shami, he walked into the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
Rich sandalwood incense floats in the treasure hall, and the innermost part from left to right enshrines the three Buddhas of Amitabha, Shakyamuni and Medicine Buddha, and in front of the Buddha statue sits an old monk chanting sutras.
"It is a sin for a lay disciple to cross the dust and take the liberty of disturbing the abbot Qing Xiu!"
"It's okay, it's okay, please take a seat! Today's poor monks comprehend the Dharma and get the revelation of the advent of the true Buddha, which will relieve the confusion of the monks for many years, which is good! Gao Chen complied with the old monk's wishes and sat cross-legged, but the old monk's hands were tied with lotus seals, but Gao Chen's hands were placed as the Jizo Bodhisattva's mantra seal.
Abbot Huiyuan glanced at Gao Chen slightly, and said with a little excitement in surprise: "Amitabha! The poor monk will meet the closed disciple of the Jizo Bodhisattva, which is really a blessing for three lives! ”
"The abbot praised falsely, all the Buddhas are equal in their eyes, why should they be so detailed? You have puzzles in your heart, and so is Duchen's heart! Why don't we study the Dharma together and realize the boundless sea of Buddhas? After Gao Chen finished answering seriously, he and Abbot Huiyuan began to delve into all kinds of Buddhist knowledge.
If it was placed in the previous Gao Chen, he knew the Dharma of a hammer and the origin of the Buddhas, but after the enlightenment of the Bodhisattva, he easily told the deeds of the Buddhas one by one, and the disadvantage was that he did not understand them.
The sun rises and sets, an old and a young two people are deeply immersed in the mysterious Buddhism and can't extricate themselves, Abbot Huiyuan through a long talk, completely unraveled the Buddha obstacles in his heart, and officially stepped into the path of cultivating Buddhism.
It turned out that Abbot Huiyuan had been meditating on Buddhist theory for many years, and he was able to comprehend some of the essence of Buddhism
After "enlightenment", Fang took off his mortal body and went to pursue a higher and deeper Dharma. And Gao Chen also got a lot of benefits, he completely stabilized his confused mentality, and vowed to train himself in the earthly world, and practice the Mahayana realm of Buddhism with an attitude hidden in the world.
After the long talk, Gao Chen silently left the Daxiong Treasure Hall, leaving only the abbot who had just enlightened the Buddha's fate to comprehend the method of cultivating the Buddha alone, he ran to the room of Fahai Temple, wanting to find the monks in the temple to provide him with a fragrant meal, because the time of this long talk is not short!
The consciousness of small farmers is once again undoubtedly reflected in Gao Chen's body. After eating and drinking, Gao Chen said goodbye to the monks in Fahai Temple, he had already untied his knot, there was no need to continue to stay here, why not go to pursue his Buddhist Sacred Heart as soon as possible, and have a trip to go.
Later, when Abbot Huiyuan learned the news that Gao Chen had already left, he reluctantly recited the Buddha's name, and at the same time asked all the monks in the temple to gather in the Hall of Merit, intending to teach the Buddha's feelings in the past few days to everyone one by one.
Abbot Huiyuan also engraved a short quotation at the good fate of the Fahai Temple merit monument: The law number crosses the dust, the reason is unknown, and it came to the temple in the year of Xinmao, and brought the original wish of the earth to enlighten everyone.
When Gao Chen returned here again because of the handling of the Twelve Yin Evils, he found that Fahai Temple had praised and admired him.
"Can't you live without this city? If this road doesn't work, there is another way, I don't believe it! Gao Chen, who threw away the cigarette butt, turned his head and left the train station and walked towards the Qingtao long-distance bus station, the place he was going to was Chongqing City, since ancient times, the land of Bayu has been prevalent in witchcraft, and there are not a few strange things, there are no less mentions in the official history and wild history, and the most legendary Fengdu ghost city is located here.
Since there is a legend, then Chongqing must have had a special thing many years ago, which led to a hundred generations, Gao Chen wanted to see if the rumored underworld was really so interesting, if he could encounter some Taoist monks or supernatural events, it would be the best.
The above is one of the main reasons why Gao Chen chose this city, and there is an additional point to fulfill the promise he once made: to go to Bayu with you, taste the famous hot pot together, walk freely, and be happy with you!
It's just that the beauty has become a thing of the past, and nothing remains
"Single to the banquet"... The long-distance bus did not implement the real-name system like the train ticket, which allowed Gao Chen to buy a bus ticket to Chongqing smoothly, but the cost of a few hundred yuan made him feel a lot distressed.
Gao Chen's expenses were all the 20,000 yuan given by the mysterious woman
"Return", for him who has no financial resources, every money he uses at the moment must be carefully calculated, after all, in today's society, it is difficult to move an inch without money!
In the early morning of the next day, the voice of the passenger sounded in the bus: "Please get on the bus, check your belongings, find your own sleeper, the long-distance comfortable bus from Qingtao City to Chongqing City is about to depart, which lasts about 26 hours, please prepare for a long-distance trip!" However, Gao Chen sat in his sleeper seat and froze... I believe that people who have experienced the long-distance sleeper bus know what the interior is like, the space is small, the bed is not flat, with Gao Chen's height, he can only bend his body to take a break.
It is also impossible to meditate and cultivate, and there is a high probability that practicing in a swaying carriage will cause the body to go mad due to frequent contact with other objects, which is the same principle mentioned in TV dramas or books that masters cannot be touched before they have finished their exercises.
The bus slowly drove away from Qingtao City, Gao Chen looked intently at the scenery outside the window, as if he wanted to take away everything he saw, Qingtao City has too many memories and stories for him.
To Gao Chen's surprise, the journey was not all smooth sailing......
