Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Buddha Asks for Money
Provincial capital, central hospital.
Luo Xiaohui looked at her mother's uncomfortable appearance on the hospital bed, and she was so distressed that she was about to cry.
Her mother, Huang Wen, had her eyes closed at this time, her pale lips were tightly pursed, her whole body trembled like chaff, and she was obviously unconscious. In recent times, she has been doing this several times a day, and each time it has been getting longer and longer.
There are a lot of people in the ward today.
In addition to her fiancé Liu Xinbo, the nurse Aunt Hu and Xiaoxiao who come to the door every day, there is also a monk and a nurse.
The monk is more than middle-aged, the figure is slightly thin, but the spirit is very strong, the eyes are blazing, the earlobes are thick, and he is dressed in a bright yellow robe, and he looks like a high-ranking monk.
He is the master invited by Liu Xinbo.
Uh, one.
Liu Xinbo didn't discuss the exorcism with Xiao Hui before, and it wasn't until two days ago that he casually talked about inviting two masters, which made Xiao Hui very reluctant.
She didn't want strangers she had never met to do something Shinto to her mother.
If she had to do it to exorcise evil spirits, she would actually prefer to ask Qi Zihuan and his grandfather, after all, she had often heard that Grandpa Qi was a famous mage in his hometown when he was young.
However, since she got engaged, she has cut off contact with Qi Zihuan, and I don't know what his grandfather's condition is now. In addition, Aunt Hu and Xiaoxiao helped persuade on the side, and finally agreed to let the people invited by Liu Xinbo give it a try.
The young nurse is today's nurse on duty, who is stationed here by the hospital to supervise.
The hospital has a clear rule that originally prohibited these superstitious activities. However, Liu Xinbo's family has a wide range of connections and a deep background, so he quickly got through the door of the dean, and only on the basis of ensuring that he did not make a loud noise, he agreed to let them do things quietly. However, a nurse must be left present, firstly, if the patient has sudden symptoms, he can call a stop and notify the doctor in time, and secondly, he is also worried that his family members or others will violate the doctor's instructions to feed the patient some Fu Dan elixir.
The ward that Liu Xinbo arranged for his future mother-in-law was, of course, a single suite, with a separate bathroom. At this moment, when the door is closed, there is no disturbance to anyone.
The monks lived on the outskirts of the provincial capital, and naturally came faster than Qi Zihuan. It happened to be the time of Huang Rong's illness, so he hurriedly learned some basic information with his employer Liu Xinbo and the patient's daughter Luo Xiaohui, and then waved everyone away and prepared to start.
Everyone stepped back in unison, surrounded by the outer circle, although they had different mentalities, but at this time, they were all nervously staring at the situation in the field.
Xiaoxiao, dressed in JK costume, quietly took out his mobile phone and recorded the video in the field.
Seeing that the monk was not in a hurry, Shi Shiran picked up a clean porcelain bowl from the bedside and walked to the bathroom, first cleaned his hands, rinsed his mouth, and then took half a bowl of water and walked out.
Go to the opposite side of the hospital bed, take out a small incense burner and three short incense sticks from the baggage you brought with you and put them on the ground, put the water next to you, and sit directly on the ground with your legs together.
Burn incense, sit upright, then twist the beads in your hands, and begin to chant Buddhist scriptures.
"Nan Wu Satan, Suga Doya, Agadodi, Samada and Sambodha wrote. Nam no Satan, Buddha Ku Seni Samarium......"
Only the nurse Aunt Hu heard that this was "Stunned Mantra", and the monk did not seek to be fast when reciting it, and the pronunciation of each word was clear and legible, and soon she also recited it silently in her heart.
It took about half an hour for the monk to finish all the recitations, and the three short incense notes just burned to the end.
Came to Luo Xiaohui with a water bowl, gave a salute first, and then said: "Your mother really provoked the evil spirit out of nowhere, and now the evil spirit has been influenced by my recitation of the Buddha, and it has the intention of leaving." You go and give this bowl of water to your mother to drink, and it should be all right. ”
Xiaohui was skeptical, and when she looked at her mother on the hospital bed, she didn't make any progress immediately, but turned her head to look at the little nurse next to her.
At the glance of this soliciting opinion, the little nurse immediately panicked.
Why doesn't this monk follow the routine!
What do you say that the liars who are now engaged in feudal superstition did not come up with an ancestral elixir in the end, not 1998, not 998, only 298! You won't lose money if you buy it for 298 yuan, and you won't be fooled if you buy it for 298 yuan......
Isn't it all supposed to be like this? You said that you are now making half a bowl of water, at most unboiled raw water, can this be regarded as the leader's explanation that you are not allowed to eat indiscriminately?
Liu Xinbo was still resolute, and he didn't care about the nurse who was at war with heaven and man in his heart, and took the water bowl from Xiaohui and walked to the bedside.
"Mom, I'll feed you some water."
Huang Wen didn't react.
Liu Xinbo lifted her upper body and carefully fed it into her mouth little by little, and because she was still shaking uncontrollably, half of the bowl of water was about half spilled.
Liu Xinbo looked back at the monk, and the monk bowed slightly, indicating that it had nothing to do with it.
Xiaoxiao had already put away her mobile phone at this time, her eyes squinted as if she was smiling, looking at the monk for a while, and looking at the water bowl for a while, thoughtfully.
Liu Xinbo covered the quilt for Huang Wen, walked back to his fiancée, and whispered comforting.
Seeing the embarrassment in the audience, the monk took the initiative to speak: "Everything has a cause and effect, and now the evil thing that Luo Jushi has encountered is also caused by his own karma. The little monk advises you that you should often repent and practice in the future, and you can take some clear water and rice every day to go to a secluded place to attract ghosts and give food, make good karma, and accumulate good fortune. ”
Everyone was disdainful, but suddenly they heard Aunt Hu shouting loudly: "Look, look at Sister Huang!" It's really good! ”
As if confirming the monk's words, Huang Wen's condition began to improve rapidly, her body no longer trembled, her expression gradually relaxed, and she calmed down.
You must know that once Huang Wen has an attack, the time is more than half an hour, and it will slowly decrease every time, and it will not be as sudden as now.
God!
Luo Xiaohui cried with joy, rushed to the side of the bed and touched her mother's forehead, confirming that the temperature had returned to normal, not as high as when the attack occurred.
The nurse, Aunt Hu, looked at the monk enthusiastically, probably thinking about how to ask for a talisman.
Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, very unexpectedly.
Liu Xinbo still remembered the matter, walked up to the monk and bowed first, and asked, "How lazy was just now, and you haven't asked the master for the Dharma name?" ”
The monk was not shocked, and replied lightly: "The little monk's name is Zhiming." ”
"Master Zhiming has really worked hard for my family's affairs this time, may I ask how many incense candles we want to offer?"
"More is fine, less is fine, everything is as it is."
Ho!
Liu Xinbo hates this kind of Buddhist system asking for money the most! If you give less, you will be stingy, and if you give more, you will suffer.
He thought for a moment, had a rough idea in his mind, and was about to start talking.
Suddenly, there were several knocks at the door.
A young man pushed open the door and leaned out to look inside.
"May I ask, is Ms. Huang Wen Huang staying in this ward?"
