"What's wrong with you?" I took Liu Jiajia's hand and asked anxiously. This is the inner hall of the temple, so you really shouldn't cry like this.

The old nun turned from behind the desk and said to me, "Let go of your hand." "I had no choice but to let go of Liu Jiajia.

The old nun helped Liu Jiajia to sit on the chair on the side, and she stretched out her right hand to cover Liu Jiajia's head. Liu Yin and I watched silently beside her, the old nun was full of aura, and she could have a ten-second or so, she let go of her hand and said coldly: "Has she ever been out of the soul?" ”

Liu Yin and I looked at each other, and then I put away my contempt, this person just touched his head, and he could know that Liu Jiajia had left his body, and his methods were really clever.

I said, "She did come out, and we found her soul by calling the soul and re-resettled it, but after she was raised, she changed a little bit, and became emotional and hysterical. ”

Normally, I would say this, Liu Jiajia would have exploded like a firecracker a long time ago, but now she is very quiet, her head is covered by the palm of the old nun's hand, and her eyelids seem to be lazy and can't be opened.

The old nun took her hand: "Let her be locked up with me for twelve days, and recite the "Myoho-renge-kyo" in the morning and evening, and then she can calm her soul." This female benefactor's soul has been lost and recovered, she has been out of her body for too long, and the combination of soul and flesh is not good, and now she can listen to the Buddha's voice here, which is also fate. ”

I saluted with both hands: "Thank you, master." I didn't ask for a teacher's legal name......"

"My Dharma name is Green Snake." The old nun said lightly.

I gasped, I should have thought of it a long time ago, and hurriedly said, "Does Master Green Snake know Huang Xiaotian, I am the one who was arranged by Huang Xiaotian to come here." ”

"Huang Jushi told me everything about you, I have my own arrangements, you don't have to be busy first, settle down. If it's convenient, let's have a meal together for a while. ”

As she was talking, the little young woman outside opened the curtain and walked in, and the old nun of the green snake said, "Xiaomei, you arrange for three donors to move in." ”

This young woman named Xiaomei clasped her hands at us: "Three, please follow me." ”

Liu Yin and I helped the groggy Liu Jiajia out of the warehouse and followed Xiaomei. At this time, the little boy ran over and giggled and took Xiaomei's hand.

Xiaomei said: "Beibei, how did your mother teach you, you have to be polite when you meet people, why did you forget?" ”

This little boy named Beibei said milkily to us: "Brother is good, two beautiful sisters are good." ”

Liu Yin giggled, bent down and teased him: "Whose little handsome guy is this, his mouth is so sweet, he can really speak." ”

Bei Bei laughed with her for a while, and said to Xiaomei: "Mom, when will the master recite the scriptures, I want to listen." ”

Xiaomei said: "After fasting, there will be afternoon class, you go play first, and your mother will call you in a while." ”

Bei Bei spread her hand, and Sahuan ran away.

I asked, "This kid is a little interesting, why did he think about coming to the monastery?" ”

Xiaomei said: "When my child was three years old, his grandmother worshipped Guanyin at home, and he followed aside. If there was a Buddhist shop on the side of the street that played Amitabha's songs, he would not leave and would stand there and listen. People who know know all say, this child is not a Buddha since childhood, I took him to a lot of temples, and later came to this temple by someone introduced, who knows that once he arrived at this place, the child will fall in love with the green snake master, and the green snake master will listen to him in the morning and evening. Usually he does it well, like a little madman, but when he comes to Master Green Snake, he is honest. I bring him over every year on vacation. ”

We were chatting, and I asked Xiaomei that this is a nun of Green Snake? Xiaomei told us that this is a relatively remote nunnery, and there will be some pilgrims and laymen who will come here, but there is only one regular monk, and that is Master Green Snake.

At this time, Xiaomei sent us to the guest room, one for me, one for Liu Yin and Liu Jiajia, the room was not big, clean and clean, the four walls, tables, chairs and benches were all wooden, and there was a fresh fragrance wafting in the room.

Xiaomei told us to rest first, and after a while I heard the sound of knocking on the wooden fish, it was time for the noon fast. She told us that there are only two meals in the temple, one in the morning and one at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and that there will be no meals after the meal, so that we can be mentally prepared to suffer and starve.

When she was gone, I put things in order and put the furball cage on the table. Then went to the room of the two sisters, Liu Jiajia has been groggy since she was touched by the green snake master, as if she couldn't wake up, and she fell on the pillow.

Liu Yin and I sat in the room, looking at the sunlight outside the window, speechless for a while.

I told Liu Yin, I'm afraid Jiajia and I will have to stay here for a while, at least half a month, if you are in a hurry, let's leave first.

Liu Yin's face turned pale and shook her head: "Brother Feng, everything was caused by me, if I didn't organize the birthday party, so many tragic things wouldn't have happened, don't mess with me, I think this place is really good, far away from the world, I also want to live here quietly for a while." ”

"And what about your work?" I say.

Liu Yin said for a long time: "It's a big deal, just quit." ”

I was in a bad mood, so I asked her to rest and rest, after all, I walked such a long mountain road to get in. I returned to the house, called Huang Xiaotian a few times in my mind, but there was no response, and I was a little apprehensive. Forget it, if you come here, you will be safe.

I was lying in the house resting and sleeping, when I heard the sound of bangs outside, from far to near, and from near to far. I rolled over and went to the next room to call the two sisters. Liu Yin and I helped Liu Jiajia, who was in a semi-comatose state, to the courtyard in front.

On the side of the courtyard, there was an old lady in a gray layman's uniform, who was knocking on the bang, and when she saw us coming, she said, "It's already time to eat, and the three donors are invited into the house." ”

Inside is a small cafeteria, cleaned up spotlessly, wooden tables and chairs, I saw Master Green Snake, Xiaomei, Beibei are there, and a few strange women, all about fifty or sixty years old, so at a glance, the whole temple seems to be just me a man.

Walking through the mountain road, my hungry stomach growled, and I was a little depressed when I saw what I was eating, drinking gruel, eating pickled radish pickles, and there was a small plate in front of everyone, which contained two pieces of tofu. Everyone was silent, there was no sound when eating, those who drank porridge drank very slowly, and those who ate tofu were chewing slowly.

I had no choice but to follow them. I helped Liu Jiajia have a meal, and served her to eat first, Liu Yin said let her come, I shook my head, since it is my girlfriend, I should come.

Several people at the dinner table watched me feed Liu Jiajia, but no one made a sound, and after a few glances, they ate their own food.

Feed her a bowl of porridge and say nothing about it. I asked Liu Yin to look at her, I ate my own food, not even the slightest oiliness, after eating it was the same as not eating, my stomach was swaying, to say something offensive, the food in prison was better than here.

After eating, everyone has to be responsible for washing their own dishes and chopsticks, and they can only leave the cafeteria after they have cleaned up. Even the naughty and mischievous Bei Bei ate quietly with his rice bowl in his hands and did not make a sound.

When we came out of the cafeteria, the old lady who knocked on the bar pulled me and quietly stuffed a bag of shortbread: "Take it back and eat it, you must not be comfortable when you first came here, don't let Mrs. Shi find out." ”

My eyes were a little moist, and I was a little moved: "Thank you, auntie." ”

The old lady smiled at me and folded her hands.

When I got back to the house, I took out the shortbread and enjoyed it with the two sisters, and after eating, I was still hungry and my intestines gurgling.

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside, and it was the voice of Master Green Snake: "The afternoon class has begun, you can come with me." ”

I hurriedly packed up the plastic bag of shortbread, but luckily the chef didn't come in, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

Liu Yin and I helped Liu Jiajia and followed Master Green Snake to the side hall, which should be the scripture hall. Don't look at the small scale of the whole temple and the small number of people, but the houses are extremely exquisite, and the interior is full of luxury. Let's just say that this scripture hall, the area is quite large, it is not a problem to sit a hundred people, the four walls are carved hollow, covered with thousands of palm-sized slots, each trough is placed in a small golden Buddha, the scene looks quite shocking.

In the center are four long tables, behind which are benches, and all the lay people sit on the chairs on the outside, and the benches inside belong to Master Green Snake.

Liu Yin and I sat down in the middle, and each of us had a scripture book in front of us, which was "Dafang Guangfo Huayan Sutra". Spreading out the book, Master Green Snake knocked on the wooden fish and began to lead the recitation, and everyone followed along.

Master Green Snake's chanting is actually in Sanskrit, not reading but chanting, and the speed of speech is very fast. The others followed the books in a regular manner, and Chinese and Sanskrit, chanting and chanting were mixed together to form a wonderful rhythm.

They read very well, and a child as old as Beibei, he did not sit on the bench with the adults, but sat on the futon on the side with the scriptures in his hand, and read very quickly. Everyone was concentrating, not one of them was distracted, and I was amazed to find that they had all achieved the same level of proficiency as they now were.

Liu Yin and I are very self-conscious. We are not familiar with the scriptures, and reading them randomly can probably break the rhythm of others, so it is good to listen to them silently.

Reading and reading, suddenly sobbing sounded beside me, and Liu Jiajia began to cry, bursting into tears.
