Chapter 3 and Chapter 2 Encounter with the Zen Temple
In Xuancheng County, the red sun is in the sky, and the cicadas are full of ears.
Shen Zetang ordered the coachman to leave the official road, bypass a waterway, enter the mountain gate, and walk to the place of shooting, and finally stopped moving.
Shen Huan opened the curtain, and Shun Yu got off the car with Shen Erye, but saw that the Bodhi tree with a thick bowl mouth had been full of seeds, and when the wind blew, it crackled and fell like a rosary, and scattered it all over the ground.
The red wall is green tile, the white jade step is dark green, the main entrance is half open, there is a plaque on it, and the book "Bingjing Zen Temple" is four big characters.
Shun Yu thinks it is interesting, the Zen temple has always been a place for Zen masters to participate in Zen enlightenment, and the names are mostly "Great Compassion", "Inscription", "Qingyu", or take the scenery as the name, such as "Qingshan", "Zhantan", "Lingyin" and so on. And I don't know what the allusion is to take it as "ice well".
Shen Zetang stood side by side with her with his back hand, and said slowly: "The three realms are silent, the eight waters are all known, and the ice well is often talked about, so don't be tired of floating life." The abbot of the round sky recited the profound meaning of this poem, and took the word "ice well" as the title of the Zen temple, which means that people's hearts are easy to be frivolous and hot, if you practice here, you can be breathed through and clear, and you can get a great understanding. ”
He looked at Shunyu with a solemn and respectful attitude, paused, and then said with a low smile: "In fact, how can there be such profundity, it's just that there is a well in the backyard, and the water is cold." ”
Shun Yu was a little stunned when he heard this, looked at Shen Erye's expression, and couldn't tell which of his sentences was true and which was false, just as he saw a tall abbot in a purple and brown robe hurriedly walked out of the door, followed by a few young monks with low eyebrows and respectful eyes, and went to Shen Erye, the abbot made an inquiry, and said apologetically: "The poor monk has lost his welcome, let Lord Shen wait for a long time!" ”
Shen Zetang returned the salute, and then looked sideways at Shun Yu's figure, thinking about explaining a few words to Shen Huan, then he crossed the threshold with the abbot and entered the house, and saw a few strong men carrying a luxurious sedan chair, led by the monk to the side courtyard, he seemed to ask casually: "It turns out that there are distinguished guests here." ”
The abbot of Yuankong smiled and said: "It is indeed a generous pilgrim, and he has covered the expenses of this Zen temple, so that we can have no worries about food and clothing, and only need to meditate on the practice of Buddhism, consult the Zen scriptures, and benefit all living beings in the world." “
Second Master Shen didn't ask any more questions, and went straight to the direction of the main hall.
Shun Yu walked behind, Shen Huan brought a monk over, stopped her and said, "The second master told you that you don't have to follow, follow this little master to the meditation hall and rest with some refreshments." “
Shun Yu snorted, she was indeed a little tired, she was about to leave, suddenly she saw a blue in front of her, and hurriedly ripped it off her head, it was a new piece of royal blue brocade silk, and then glared at Shen Huan: "You tease people." He made a gesture to throw it at him.
Shen Huan hurriedly shouted: "You dare to throw it, that's the second master's clothes, he asked me to give it to you." “
"What will you do to me?" Shun Yu paused and asked a little inexplicably.
Shen Huan said meaningfully: "This straight jacket was worn by the second master when he went to Shengyuan Restaurant, and in order to save you from the assassins, the sleeves were torn and ..... long holes. “
"Do you want me to compensate Second Master Shen?" Shun Yu's expression became more and more confused.
"Wrong! The second master asked you to make up for him, and he had to wear miles tomorrow morning. Shen Huan smashed Shun Yu with his elbow, and his mouth was grinning with a smile: "I can't see it, I have the demeanor of a good wife!" ”
Shun Yu's face was flushed with red clouds, biting his lip to see his villainous appearance, for the first time, he didn't have the momentum to talk to him, turned around and followed the monk silently.
Shen Huan was a little uncomfortable, and looked at the back for a while, then scratched his head and left without mentioning it.
.....................
There is a pond in front of the meditation hall, and the leaves of the lotus wind are dripping, startling a pair of sleeping mandarin ducks.
The monk made an inquiry and hurriedly left, Shun Yu pushed open the door of the hall, the five Zen rooms in the east and west hung the Hunan curtain, quietly silent, the main room was rolled up half a curtain, she entered, the nose is a suitable sandalwood fragrance, the surrounding furnishings are very simple, the wall is hung with dense Diamond Sutra, an old bamboo couch in front of the window is quiet and cool, three or four water mill Nanmu chairs against the wall, a Huanghuali table, a teapot and bowls, and a few plates of vegetarian fruit.
She sat at the table, held the pot and poured tea, ate, poured another bowl, picked up a piece of mung bean and jujube paste cake, smelled the fragrant, took a bite, chewed, sweet mixed with tea and slightly bitter, but it had a different taste, she ate two pieces in a row, only to stop, only to find that Shen Erye's clothes had been carried by herself.
....... It's really excessive, but he just promised that if the Tian family case can be solved, Shen Erye will marry him, and there is nothing to do, he is thick-skinned...... And he began to call her to mend her clothes.
Thought she was pleased with him by kissing him? That's just a ridiculous move to take a desperate path.
Maybe she felt a little different about Shen Erye in a hazy way, but so what, she didn't want to be entangled in love anymore from the moment she was reborn.
promised to marry him when the matter was completed...... Just like the use of the previous life.
Shun Yu suddenly felt sullen, pursed her lips, threw her clothes on the chair, stood up and stretched, walked to the bamboo couch and kicked her shoes and lay down, the sunlight spilled into the window through the leaves, and the wall was mottled with dim light and shadow.
Tossing and turning and sleepless, finally closed her eyes and became misty, suddenly heard a "knock" sound outside the window, she sat up in shock, and ran out of the room with her shoes, but a fruit fell from the tree, fell into the bamboo basket that had been placed, she went to pick it up and look, the fruit was flat barrel-shaped, the sunny side was carmine, the back was green, and the fragrance was very strong.
Shun Yu smiled, this was the Xuancheng papaya that Sui Gong entered the palace, and she was very happy to eat it.
Thinking about finding a way to eat one later, he happily returned to the room, but he was no longer sleepy, and saw a sewing basket placed next to the table, where the monks lived a hard life, and often sewed their own robes.
She stayed for a while, and finally stomped her foot, put Shen Erye's straight jacket in the crook of her arm, picked up the needlework basket with the other hand, went out of the house to the door of the meditation hall, and sat down on the stone bench by the lotus pond.
There was a faint happiness in those days, as if in a dream.
Shun Yu lowered her head and began to sort out the silk thread, the color was quite complete, she looked at the sleeves of the dress, and compared the blue thread with the clothing, as if the color was darker, so she gently rubbed the silk thread softly, and then carefully split it into two strands.
Turn the lining out, thread the needle and thread around two stitches, turn it to the front to see that there are folds, knit two more stitches, and then turn it over and see.
I don't know how long I repeated, I suddenly heard a low laugh of "Woo", but Shun Yu, who was seriously doing needlework, was startled, and a blood bead poked out of her fingertips, she raised her head, not at what time, there was a young man leaning on the side of the lotus pond, wearing a white camellia dark pattern brocade straight jacket, shaking a sprinkled flower fan in his hand, and half of his face was covered by a pure gold mask, and his eyes hurt under the sun.
