Chapter 1 Chapter 3 The Old Monk
"me, why does that little thing look so delicious?" Zhang Chen went back to the bedroom, and the first thing he thought about after covering his body and head with a quilt was actually eating.
"What's wrong with me? In this case, I should theoretically be scared to pee my pants. I'm not afraid, forget it, I'm actually trying to eat that thing, and it's so disgusting in theory, why do I think it's delicious?" Zhang Chen knocked his head hard to stop thinking about eating. At the same time, he slowly lifted the quilt, cautiously poked his head out to look at the situation in his bedroom, and after finding that there was no abnormality, he retracted back into the quilt.
"If that's true, that little thing seems to be scared of me, why?" Zhang Chen replayed all the process from school to the present in his head.
"Wait, if what happened in my house is true, then the man on the bridge dug out my heart and put a black bead in the place of my heart, is it true?"
Zhang Chen couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine because of his thoughts. Hurriedly pressed the artery of the wrist of his right hand with the index finger and middle finger of his left hand.10 seconds passed, Zhang Chen's face changed greatly, because he couldn't feel the beating of his heart at the pulse of his right hand.
"Did you really take the heart away, I remember the heart of the whole body blood circulation center, without the heart, the whole body blood can't flow at all. Although my brother reads and plays soy sauce, he also knows this basic common sense. Am I going to use that black bead as a heart now?" Zhang Chen wanted to go crazy, because he couldn't bear what happened in so many hours today.
"No matter, anyway, Lao Tzu is not dead, the big deal is death, anyway, if he dies, he can become a ghost, I'm afraid of a yarn. Tomorrow afternoon, only if you don't go to the second baby, Tan Fei will go to the Internet café, and you have to figure out this matter. Let's go to bed first, we'll get down to business tomorrow." Zhang Chen emptied his brain all of a sudden, overstuffed himself and fell asleep.
…………
"Di Di Di ~ Di Di Di ~"
Zhang Chen habitually sat up from the bed, it was 6:30, and the spring day was not yet dawn. Because of the lingering feelings about what happened in the middle of the night last night. After getting dressed, he slowly opened the door, and after finding that there was nothing unusual outside, he gently pushed open the door of his parents' room, and saw his parents sleeping soundly on the bed, Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt that the cold breath on his father's body seemed to be a little more than when he fell asleep yesterday.
"It seems that my father is the only one affected by this thing in our family, why is my mother and I okay? Looks like we'll have to fix it quickly, and I remember the man in black told me to go to the temple. Then I had to lose money this afternoon and don't go to the Internet.,I remember my mother used to go to a Sanxue Temple when she was fine.,Let's go to see it after school in the afternoon."
After thinking about it, Zhang Chen was about to wash his face and rinse his mouth, walked two steps, and came to the bathroom door.
"I was depressed, why should the sink be repaired together with the toilet, I will make money in the future, and I must separate the sink and toilet when I buy a house. Damn, don't care, that little thing will run out again, and I'll eat it."
Zhang Chen thought of the swollen baby, and his stomach was hungry again. I had to hold my stomach with one hand and open the bathroom door with the other, the hellish scene last night had disappeared, and I was replaced by the original clean bathroom, but the cold and piercing breath still existed.
"Gollum" brushing his teeth and washing his face was almost over, and a sound came from Zhang Chen's stomach.
"At this time, you actually want me to squat on the tuba, what should I do if I am directly blown up by that little thing. Forget it, endure and go to the public toilet in the community to solve it. We must solve this problem as soon as possible, otherwise we will have to go downstairs to the toilet in the future." Zhang Chen was really angry and afraid, so he had to take his equipment and go downstairs to the school.
…………
Zhang Chen chose to take the bridge, if the man in black was still by the bridge last night, if he could meet him, try to inquire about his family. Coming out of WC, the whole person was relaxed for a while, but the feeling of fasting was more strict, riding the car, thinking about the fat rice noodles at the school gate, and speeding away.
In less than 5 minutes, Zhang Chen arrived in front of the Jinshui Bridge, and the man in black didn't see it, but he saw the policeman in blue. Because it's still early, apart from the police, there are only Zhang Chen and a septuagenarian.
Zhang Chen naturally realized something, and hurriedly pretended to be a good student who was very curious, and ran to a policeman about 30 years old with a public face.
"Uncle, what's going on here?"
"It's nothing, go to school," the policeman replied perfunctorily when he saw Zhang Chen wearing a school uniform.
Zhang Chen had no choice but to gamble, so he pretended to be thoughtful and said
"Uncle, I came home from self-study at ten o'clock last night and saw a man in a black trench coat standing motionless by the bridge on the bridge, I thought it was a ghost, is there something wrong with this person?"
When the policeman heard this, his face changed, and he quickly turned around and whispered to Zhang Chen to talk to him. So the two of them came to the street lamp on the side of the road one after the other.
"Little brother, please give me a detailed report on the details of the bridge you passed by last night." After the policeman finished speaking, he pulled out a pen and a sticky note from his chest pocket.
"When I came to the bridge, it was about ten o'clock, because the street lights on the bridge were broken, and I didn't notice the man in black when I got on the bridge. Zhang Chen naturally would not talk about his conversation with the man, the man jumping into the river and jumping down to save people. It's not that he can't say it, but if he says it, the police will think that he is playing with him, and he won't have a chance to ask for information.
"Well, is that man standing inside or outside the railing of the bridge?" The policeman continued to ask
[,! "I want to think about it, huh...... It should be inside, that's right, it's inside" Zhang Chen was stunned by this question, and hurriedly replied a little vaguely.
The police didn't take Zhang Chen too seriously, and after asking about the situation, they turned around and left.
"Wait a minute, uncle, may I ask what happened to the man in black?" When Zhang Chen saw that the police were leaving, he immediately asked
"Drowned." The policeman didn't want to talk nonsense and left with three words.
When Zhang Chen heard this, he stood there and was stunned.
"This man in black is not a ghost, he really committed suicide, so how did I get back to the bridge from the water?" Zhang Chen was stunned for a long time, and then hurriedly asked, "Uncle, did he commit suicide?"
"The preliminary judgment is suicide, the possibility of his murder cannot be ruled out, don't ask more questions about your little child, hurry up and go to school" After the policeman helplessly answered Zhang Chen's question, he waved his hand to signal Zhang Chen to leave.
Zhang Chen got the answer he wanted and stopped lingering and went straight to school. The aunt's fat rice noodles at the school gate are her favorite, Zhang Chen, who was hungry, ordered a big bowl of fat rice noodles when he came to the door, took a few bites, and burped, and after patting his stomach, he had a feeling of being very hungry, but he obviously felt that his stomach was full of things. A little explanation is "** satisfied, but not spiritually satisfied."
In the early morning classroom, there was already the sound of reading aloud, and I also wanted to join the ranks of these top students and fight for my parents. However, every time I pick up a textbook, I feel very uncomfortable, and I feel upset just by seeing it, let alone reading it aloud.
At this time, two figures flashed from the door of the classroom to Zhang Chen. Wang Banhua, who was concentrating on reading on the right, moved her chair again. Naturally, these two people are Erwa and Tan Fei.
"Brother Chen, what time did you play with Lu Ba last night?" Tan Fei, whose face was full of meat, said with an evil smile
"Play with your brother-in-law, my brother didn't come home until 10 o'clock yesterday, and the two of you ran away first" Zhang Chen was used to it, and he didn't bother to bother with this scoundrel fat man.
"Oh, thinking that I am going to go to the Internet this afternoon, my second brother and I will go back to rest first, I have discussed it with my second brother, and when the time comes, one person will pay a dollar for Brother Chen to buy you a can of Coke to suppress the shock." Tan Fei said that he also patted his hand on Zhang Chen's shoulder, not to mention how disgusting it was, but Erwa stood aside and didn't say a word, it seemed that it was very interesting to watch the two of them fight.
If it was before, Zhang Chen would naturally quarrel with these two brothers again. However, at this time, Zhang Chen shook his palms together, pressed his chin and thought, "Don't tell the two of them what happened last night, Tan Fei will definitely not believe it, even if he believes it, he may not be able to help much, and it will not be good if he drags them down. I'll do it myself."
"I've got something to do this afternoon, you two just go." Zhang Chen said suddenly.
"Chen Wazi, you have a time when you don't go to the Internet, lie to your brother." didn't wait for Tan Fei to speak, but the second baby spoke first.
Zhang Chen knew that these two would not give up lightly, so he had to shake his head and say
"Hey, I want to go too, but my dad was sick and hospitalized last night, and my mom has to work the night shift today, so let me go to the guard."
"Forget it, the brothers will call you again on the weekend" The two knew that Zhang Chen's addiction to the Internet was no less than theirs, and if they contacted their relatives, there was no way.
After Zhang Chen saw that the two of them were back in place, he didn't say much and began to think about the afternoon's itinerary.
…………
The time to make soy sauce passed quickly, and it was time for school in the afternoon
"Oh ~~~~~" The bell rang for the end of class, and Erwa and Tan Fei patted Zhang Chen's shoulder and ran out of the classroom door like crazy. Zhang Chen slowly and leisurely packed his schoolbag, like a good student. Originally, he was definitely the first scumbag to rush out of the classroom, but he actually packed his schoolbag carefully here, and Wang Banhua on the side was also dumbfounded, and glanced at Zhang Chen from time to time. Zhang Chen saw Wang Banhua's surprised gaze, and couldn't help but have a trace of fantasy.
"Isn't it true that if I quit the game and study hard, I can have a leg with Wang Banhua? If it ......" Zhang Chen yy finished and found that there was no one in the place where his eyes fell. He smiled, touched his head, picked up his bag and left the classroom.
This Sanxue Temple, listening to Zhang Chen's mother, has been stored long before the establishment of this county, and many people in the county who are more than half a hundred years old will go to Sanxue Temple every year to burn incense and worship the Buddha, seeking peace in the new year. Zhang's mother also believes in these three temples very much, and has begged for Zhang Chen no less than ten signatures over the years.
Zhang Chen rode the car, and after a while, he arrived at the foot of the mountain where the temple is located.5 minutes on the mountain road, he saw the temple gate, which was written with three big characters of "Sanxue Temple". Maybe it's late, there's no one at the gate, and the door is just vaguely open.
Poked his head out first and looked, there was no one in the courtyard, it was very deserted, but the ground was very clean, there was not a single fallen leaf, and it was obvious that someone had just cleaned it. Zhang Chen gently pushed open the gate and stepped into the courtyard, and a gust of wind blew. I was in a hurry with a heavy heart, but my mood suddenly calmed down, and the whole person felt much more comfortable.
"It seems that this place is very unusual, but where did the monks here go, it was difficult to go down the mountain for dinner and sing K?"
Zhang Chen took two steps and looked at the Daxiong Treasure Hall in front of him, as soon as he stepped into this treasure hall, Zhang Chen felt as if someone was watching him. looked around, but didn't find anything abnormal, Zhang Chen didn't care too much, walked to the Buddha statue and knelt on his knees, bowed and worshipped.
"The little benefactor is really very human." A voice came from behind Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen was startled and quickly turned around to see that it was a white-bearded monk holding a bamboo broom.
"Master, I see that there is no one in these three temples. [,! Since I came in, please don't blame the master." Zhang Chen hurriedly stood up respectfully and said.
"The temple is owned by the people of the world, and there is nothing to blame and not to blame. Did the little donor feel something?" The old monk said.
"Master, when I walked into this hall, I felt that someone was watching me, and my feeling was also very weak, coming and going." Zhang Chen replied honestly.
"Little donor, do you know that there are so many temples in the country, why are there times when the Buddha appears everywhere?" The old monk asked again.
"Please also ask the master for advice."
"After each temple is completed, there will be many Buddhist disciples who open the altar and chant in front of the Buddha statue in this Daxiong Treasure Hall, that is, the consecration. Then, a consciousness of the Buddha will be attached to this Buddha statue. Only a temple that has been consecrated is a real temple." The old monk looked at the Buddha statue and said
"What the master said, is it that the Buddha is watching me?" Zhang Chen has experienced too many things, and he also believed in the Buddha's existence at once, and at the same time looked back at the Buddha statue.
"The Buddha looked at everyone, but the little donor felt the Buddha's gaze, so the old man said that the little donor was very human." The old monk seemed to have something to say, and Zhang Chen didn't care too much.
"Master, in fact, I have something to ask for, I don't know if the master can trust me." Zhang Chen was about to speak
"Let's Hear It"
"Here's the thing,...... Zhang Chen said about the bathroom at home, but didn't mention what happened on the bridge.
"Does the master think I'm talking nonsense?" Zhang Chen said embarrassedly after speaking.
"As long as you think that you have zài, you have zài, so why do you have any nonsense." The old monk touched his beard and said.
"Then master, can you help me get rid of the unclean things in the house?" Zhang Chen asked eagerly.
"I'm also a mortal, so I can't help much. Little donor, do you know why this temple is called Sanxue Temple, because there are three schools in Buddhism, which refers to the first learning to use precepts to stop evil and cultivate good; Second, learn to use fixed interest to hang the heart; Three learn to use wisdom to break through confusion and preach. As I said at the beginning, the little benefactor is a very human being, and if he understands what the old man said, he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune by himself. And the thing described by the little donor is a ghost of resentment, if the little donor can find its root cause, break the resentment, and dissolve itself." The old monk said with a smile.
"Can I figure it out myself? But ......" Zhang Chen was a little anxious when he saw that the master was unwilling to help. Just as he was about to speak, he interrupted the old monk again
"Needless to say, when the little donor first entered the treasure hall, he devoted himself to worshiping the Buddha, and there was a peace charm for you. This talisman can only be relieved for a while, and the rest depends on the little donor himself, the time is not early, and the little donor should go home quickly." After the old monk finished speaking, he took out a yellow rune paper and a small bag from the monk's robe, folded the rune paper and put it in the bag, and gave it to Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen scratched his head again, took the small bag and put it in the schoolbag, and did not force it, and said "Thank you, master." A bow is to leave, halfway to the point suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked.
"Master, I don't know what your name is?"
"Lao Wei has a legal name, Puhu." A voice came from the main hall.
Zhang Chen nodded and left the temple.
