Chapter Twenty-Six: Settling In
Chen Musheng and the others left the temple after the old monk. Don't look at the old monk is very old, but when he walks, he has wind under his feet, and even these young people who are in the prime of life can't keep up. Again and again discussed letting the old monk walk slowly, otherwise they might have to run.
"When you are young, you are used to being lazy and you are used to being careless. So what do you do when you enter middle age and old age? ”
The old monk glanced back at Chen Musheng and the others, and then he said with some lessons:
"Seeing others walk ahead of you and go fast. You don't have to try to stop him or make him go slower, but you should think about how you can catch up with him, or go faster than him.
People's thinking often determines people's laziness. ”
After hearing the old monk's reasonable lesson, Chen Musheng and Liang Lei glanced at each other with a wry smile, and their faces showed a little strange look.
In their minds, they can't even save their lives, and they still chase after a fart, where do they have time to listen to him talk about big things here.
But I thought so in my heart, but even if I borrowed Chen Musheng's hundred guts, I didn't dare to say it. Let's not talk about whether the old monk is rumored to be the respected Master Fitch, just say that their lives are still in the hands of others.
So they didn't dare to say anything at all, so they had to listen and leave quickly.
When the old monk saw Chen Musheng and them, he quickened his pace, he didn't say anything more, and continued to walk towards the depths of the temple with the wind under his feet.
The area of Fahua Temple is very large, and it is only a part of it for tourists to visit, and for people to burn incense and bow down. As for the other part, it is not open to the public, and belongs to the living place of the monks in the temple.
And now, the old monk took them to obviously this part of the temple.
They descended from a rockery and returned to the cabin where they had first met. The old monk opened the door directly and walked in. Seeing this, several people behind him also followed one after another and entered inside.
The area in the wooden house is larger than they imagined. As soon as you enter, there is a room with a bed, half of which is opened at one end to form a very wide hallway, which is connected far away.
Here, Chen Musheng also saw the middle-aged monk who helped them spread the word at that time. The middle-aged monk stood respectfully beside the old monk, looking at his appearance that he didn't even dare to breathe, like a mouse meeting a cat.
And it was precisely from the title of the middle-aged monk to the old monk that they determined the identity of the old monk. It was the rumored Fitch master.
The middle-aged monk didn't seem to be an ordinary monk in the temple, so he listened to Master Fitch tell him:
"Pack up a room and come out for these children."
"Got it, I'll do it now."
The middle-aged monk didn't dare to procrastinate, and after agreeing, he hurried to implement it.
"You sit here for a while, and when he makes arrangements, I'll take you there." At this time, the old monk regained his previous kindness and signaled to Chen Musheng that they did not need to be detained.
To say that Chen Musheng was not informal, it is true. After all, I am not sure of the identity of the old monk. But now, after confirming that the old monk was the one who was rumored to be a miracle in the outside world, how could they not be nervous. Free and easy.
"You're the Fitch Master, aren't you?"
After sitting down nervously, Zhang Song asked respectfully.
"I'm Fitch indeed." Master Fitch smiled and nodded.
"We don't know your identity, so we ...... before" Zhang Song hurriedly explained what happened before, although they didn't have any excessive actions before.
"You didn't do anything wrong, you don't need to apologize. Again. I'm not a man-eating beast, you don't need to be afraid of me. ”
Master Fitch fiddled with the rosary in his hand and continued:
"My way is still shallow. It's hard to say whether we can help you get through this difficulty, but I can only promise to try my best. ”
"There must be no problem with Master Fitch's move, but no matter how powerful those evil things are, they will definitely not dare to be arrogant in the temple."
Zhang Song hurriedly put on a high hat for Master Fitch, how could Master Fitch not hear it, he shook his head with a smile:
"There are many things in this world that I can't explain clearly. What we see is always what it wants us to see, and those are just the tip of the iceberg. ”
Although Zhang Song didn't understand the meaning of Master Fitch's words at all, he still nodded pretendically. As for Chen Musheng, they are all the same.
They didn't have to wait too long, and the middle-aged monk who had left before returned to the wooden house.
"Senior Brother Fitch has arranged everything, and I also let the kitchen cook their meals."
After hearing this, Master Fitch praised the middle-aged monk, and then led them out of the cabin from behind. As they had guessed, the back of the hut was where the monks lived.
The houses in the style of Zhenmu City are located here. If you don't look at the houses, it's more like a big garden.
Gazebos, rockeries, flowers and trees, it can be said that there is everything.
Several burly monks are sweeping the yellow leaves covering the ground with brooms, and from time to time, you can still see some monks holding books in one hand, shuttling in front of various houses.
When they saw everyone appear, or rather saw Master Fitch appear, everyone stopped what they were doing and respectfully walked over to greet Master Fitch.
I just don't know if it's because of the rules of the temple or because of the high esteem of Master Fitch himself.
Master Fitch led the crowd to the front of the many houses, and then pointed to the one at the very edge and said:
"Let's stay in this room for the time being. It may be a little crowded, but it should still be able to stay. I still have some things to attend to, so I'll come back to you later. ”
After Master Fitch finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, but was suddenly stopped by the fat man's voice:
"That...... Belch...... Master Fitch, let's eat...... This ......"
"Fatty, when is it, you still want to eat!" Zhao Jian said unhappily.
The fat man wanted to open his mouth to refute, but Master Fitch spoke at this time, and he said with a smile:
"You don't have to worry about this, there will be a ...... for you when the time comes"
Looking at the figure of Master Fitch hurriedly leaving, Chen Musheng's eyes were full of gratitude.
If you think about it, you will know who Master Fitch is, what his identity is, and how many rich officials he has on weekdays, but he can't see it even if he tries his best. But not only did they see it, but they were treated like guests by Master Fitch.
Chen Musheng retracted his gaze, and then reminded the others:
"Alright, let's go and see how the room goes." (To be continued......)
