Chapter 57: The Old Monk (Third Update, Asking for Recommendation, Asking for Reward)
Crossing the path, you come to a secluded wooden house with only a bed, a table and a few chairs. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
And on this iron bed is a sloppy old monk. Although the monk's robe is not very dirty, it is very shabby, and the monk holds a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and at this time he is lifting the Buddhist beads in front of his eyes and shaking back and forth.
Seeing someone coming, he ignored it, continued to play with his Buddha beads, and from time to time let out a burst of joyful laughter, like a child meeting a favorite toy, pure laughter, with childish innocence.
"This is the noise?"
"Yes, he came here more than seventy years ago, and he was in his early twenties, and even I was only a teenager, but after just over a decade, he went crazy." Chenyao sighed, "I remember that the abbot also said that he was the most wise disciple of the Praruo Temple, no matter what, it is easy to understand at one point, but it's a pity, alas! ”
I nodded and looked at Chenyao, "Abbot, can I take a look at Master Chenhuo alone?" ”
"Donor, please, the old man is waiting for you in the meditation room." With that, turn around and leave.
I sat down beside him and tapped him on the shoulder, and he turned his head and looked at me blankly.
"Hee-hee...... Do you want to have fun? He started giggling again, innocent.
"Dusty noise, someone asked me to help her bring you something!" As I spoke, I took out the silk handkerchief from my pocket and gently placed it in Chenhuo's hand.
His laughter stopped suddenly, but then he began to look crazy again, and began to giggle.
"What is it, is it delicious? Hee-hee, delicious, delicious, oh-oh, there's something delicious! He shouted, shoving the handkerchief into his mouth, and I stopped him, but he pushed him away.
I looked at this crazy monk with a look of surprise, and my heart couldn't be calm. I naturally know my strength, not to mention pulling out the mountain, at least one arm has a thousand catties, but his seemingly random and unintentional push pushed me aside, how can I not be shocked?
At this time, the dust noise had completely stuffed the silk cloth into his mouth, and then swallowed it with a grunt.
"Hmm...... Whining...... It's not delicious...... You're a liar, you're a liar, woo......" He came and pushed me while crying, and every time he pushed, I had no resistance.
Eventually, he shoved me out the door and slammed it shut.
There was another shout from inside: "Liars, liars are liars, woo woo......"
I looked at the door of the hut in a daze and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Fortunately, I'm not sensitive to pain now, otherwise I would have to grin in this pain.
Now that the spa had been given to the dust, I had completed a task and went to the meditation room.
When I came to the meditation room, Chenyao had already made tea, and the tea overflowed the door, and I could smell it from a long distance. Although it does not have the strong tea aroma of Jiang Qinghuai's Tieguanyin, this tea is long.
I sat opposite Chenyao and sipped the teacup, pretending to feel it carefully, and then admired the good tea!
Chenyao chuckled: "Is the donor just here to visit Chenhuo?" ”
"That's not it, the juniors still have one more thing to trouble the seniors!" I said truthfully, there are two things, Sipa has already given the dust, and now it is also a matter of ordering half lotus water.
"Oh, what else is there to the benefactor? Don't worry, if you can do it, you will definitely do your best to help you. ”
Hearing this, I got up and saluted: "Abbot, this is the case, the juniors do not hide it, this time, the juniors want to ask the abbot for some half lotus water, I don't know if the abbot can give up one or two?" ”
"It turned out to be this, but I don't have many here, so I hope the donor will forgive me."
Chenyao turned around and entered the inner hall, I didn't follow, after all, it is not convenient for me to know where other people's things are, and I have promised to give them to me, so I don't need to follow him to make trouble.
Not long after, Chen Yao walked out of the inner hall, still holding this palm-sized porcelain vase in his hand, he put the porcelain vase in front of me, and said slowly: "Donor, this is half lotus water!" ”
I picked up the porcelain bottle, opened the cork, and the lotus fragrance came out of the bottle, thinking that it was the so-called half lotus water.
Once again, I would like to express my gratitude to the abbot.
"The donor doesn't have to be polite, in fact, the old man also has something to ask for when he does this."
"Master, please speak!"
"If the donor achieves something in the future, please take some land of a hundred countries on behalf of the old man, I wonder if the donor can answer the old man's request?"
"If the younger generation goes to another country in the future, he will be brought back to the land by the abbot."
I chatted with Chenyao until the night, and listening to his Zen, my heart was also quiet and peaceful.
I was on the train on my way, and when I got off the train, I had already bought a ticket for the return trip, and now that the time was approaching, I also said goodbye and left.
The passengers at the station are not as crowded as during the day, but they are also noisy. While checking tickets, some thieves and pickpockets quietly put their hands into other people's pockets and took away some money and mobile phones that did not belong to them.
Originally, I didn't have the enthusiasm for righteousness and bravery, although I didn't care too much about it. After all, when you're out of the house, more things are better than less, and I've always belonged to the kind of thing that I would never care about if I didn't chase me, and I didn't care too much about these at the moment.
At this moment, I suddenly felt as if something was tugging on my trouser pocket, and I looked down to see that a hand was carefully rummaging through my pocket. It's just that I've never liked to put things in my pocket, so how could he possibly find anything?
I silently watched the thief who was discovered and didn't know it, and withdrew his hand in disappointment, and didn't say anything, but without words, I naturally couldn't easily let go of this person who wanted to steal me.
I grabbed his wrist, and as soon as I pressed my fingers, I heard a crisp wail coming from me. So sad, so sad.
I pinched the wrist of the red-faced thief with a smile and whispered to him, "Dare to steal your grandfather's things, don't you die?" ”
That's when I looked down at his red hand, which I had pinched.
At this time, he was holding a Buddha bead in his hand, and his hand, which was shaking violently because of the pain, was pinching the Buddha bead more and more.
It seems that I have seen this bead somewhere!
When I thought about it, wasn't this exactly the same as the string of Buddhist beads in Chenhuo's hand? Could it be that he was unloaded by the beads and stuffed into my pocket, so what exactly does he want to do?
I suddenly felt that this old monk, he didn't seem to be crazy, even more sober than anyone else, his madness was just pretending.
It's just, why is he pretending to be crazy? Could it be that he is hiding from something?
Since he wasn't crazy, he didn't swallow the silk because he was too hungry, but because there might be something on the silk that he didn't want others to know, so he wanted to destroy it.
And now that he has secretly put the Buddha beads in my pocket, what does he want to do?
