Chapter 58: The Monk
Nianzi Mountain is located in the eastern foothills of the Daxing'an Mountains, and there are many places that can be visited and viewed.
I'm sure that those places where you can see the scenery are 108,000 miles away from the barren mountain where we are now.
The mountain is not very high, but the forest is very dense, and there are too many thorns and weeds.
When I was rushing to the center of the barren mountain, I really felt a little overwhelmed.
I was bitten by mosquitoes all over my body, and I had to scratch up and down, left and right as I walked, which was not a normal discomfort.
It's strange to say, Zheng Xiaoxian'er is only half a meter away from me.
I was bitten half to death, but he was fine, and after observing for a long time, I found that the mosquitoes did not bite him at all.
"Brother Zheng, these mosquitoes are your relatives? Why don't you bite you just by biting me?" I asked curiously, scratching the bitten bag on my body.
"I usually spend too much time dealing with the immortal family, and my body is more or less stained with yin qi, and mosquitoes don't dare to bite me." Zheng Xiaoxian'er smiled: "We'll be here soon, you can bear with it." ”
"IT'S OKAY, I CAN STILL HOLD IT." I smiled wryly.
After suffering like this for nearly an hour, when I couldn't even walk, Zheng Xiaoxian'er suddenly stopped, pointed to the pine forest in front of me and said.
"You can walk straight from this place, the temple is in the pine forest, I won't go there, go down the mountain and rest for a while." Zheng Xiaoxian'er smiled: "You can come down directly after you finish your errands, and I will take you back." ”
"Cheng, that's troublesome Brother Zheng."
"You're welcome."
When he was gone, I glanced into the dense pine forest, but I didn't see any temples.
I didn't think much of it at the time, so I lit a cigarette and tickled it as I walked out into the pine forest.
The further back I went, the more sparse the pine trees became on the left and right, and after about ten minutes of walking, the pine forest brought me to the end, and three dilapidated stone houses appeared in front of me.
These stone houses don't look like things that have been built in recent years, and the first feeling when you see them is that they are simple and authentic.
Really, it's not a joke.
I'm sure whoever goes there and sees these stone houses will feel the same way I do.
I didn't see the old monk that Old Man Zuo said, maybe he didn't come out of the house.
In the small courtyard outside the house, there was only a man about my age, sitting on the ground in a daze.
He looked up at the sky, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
At the time, I thought this grandson was very profound, but when I got closer, the young man's eyes were closed and drooling out of his mouth.
With a slight snoring sound, I'm sure the kid was asleep.
"Dude, is Senior Luo here?" I whispered, then gently patted him on the shoulder with my hand.
It is estimated that this shout scared him a lot, but I saw me hurriedly wiping my saliva with my hands, and then hurriedly stirring the Buddhist beads, and hurriedly explained: "I am chanting the scriptures, but I haven't slept secretly, who are you?!" ”
Before I could speak, he asked me again with a puzzled face.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to find Senior Luo, is he here?" I asked politely.
He looked at me carefully for a while, mumbled, pointed to the stone house in the middle, and said, "My father is reciting scriptures inside, so if you have anything, just ask him." ”
Dad?
I was stunned for a moment, and said in my heart that this old monk still had children!?
"Go find him, I still have to recite the scriptures." This buddy shook the Buddhist beads in his hand and said with a smile: "Don't tell him that I'm asleep for a while." ”
"Cheng, I won't say it." I nodded.
When he heard me say this, he smiled gratefully at me, then sat cross-legged on the floor and began to close his eyes and recite the scriptures in silence.
Of course, I don't think he's chanting, he's catching up on sleep.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I pinched the cigarette in my hand, tidied up my grooming and dressing, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong, I raised my feet and walked towards the stone house.
The closer I was to the stone house, the easier it was for me to feel the indescribable quaintness.
When I walked to the door of the stone house, I don't know why, I found that I seemed to have no strength to speak, and the whole person was inexplicably quiet.
I don't want to speak, I don't want to move, I just want to stand motionless until I get old.
Suddenly, an old voice came from the stone house.
"It's Changshan, right?"
"Hello, Senior Luo."
"Come in, the door is unlocked."
Hearing this, I gently pushed open the wooden door.
The space in this room is not large, about 20 square meters.
Directly opposite me was an offering table with seven stone Buddha statues and an incense burner in the center. On the far right of the offering table, a bronze oil lamp is placed.
Above the incense burner, smoke fills the air.
Looking at those Buddha statues through the pale gray mist, it seems as if they are alive, and their expressions are like living people.
A little firelight was swaying slightly on the bronze oil lamp, although this flame was small and seemed easy to extinguish, but at that time, this oil lamp gave me a feeling that it would never be extinguished.
The green lantern accompanies the ancient Buddha, it should be like this.
"Changshan, come and sit."
When I heard this, I immediately came to my senses.
Following the sound, there was a wooden table in the corner of the room, on which was a plate of roast chicken, and a bottle of Wuliangye was placed next to it.
A bald old monk was sitting there drinking wine, looking about the same age as the old man Zuo, he looked at me with a smile and nodded: "Let's eat together?" ”
Once upon a time, I thought that Old Man Zuo was the most unreliable person I had ever met in my life.
It wasn't until I saw this old monk that I understood what it meant to be truly unreliable.
If I had changed the food on the table to something like green vegetables and tofu, I wouldn't have been so surprised.
This monk is a fake, right?!
"You eat meat," I smiled awkwardly.
"yes." The old monk nodded, his expression was very serious: "The meat is delicious, why don't I eat it?" ”
"Don't all monks eat meat?" I walked over and looked at the old monk suspiciously: "Isn't drinking wine and eating meat all precepts that monks can't break?" ”
The old monk smiled, didn't say anything, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and drank it all.
"When Shao Weng leaves, he should be disease-free and painless, right?" The old monk asked me.
"Well, my grandfather was easy when he left." I nodded.
It's strange to say, a second ago I thought that this old monk was very unreliable, a standard wine and meat monk.
But when I talked to him, I found that the old monk's eyes were very clean, like a baby who opened his eyes shortly after birth, without the slightest complicated emotions in it, as if he was full of kindness to the whole world.
It is no exaggeration to say that his eyes can make people remember clearly for a lifetime.
"You were injured some time ago?" The old monk asked me curiously.
"You see that?" I smiled bitterly: "It's just that I was wronged a few times, it's not a big deal, it's almost raised." ”
"Well, the monk can also see that you have a good body and bones, stronger than your grandfather." The old monk smiled and looked at me gently: "What your grandfather put here at the beginning, it is time to give it to you." ”
"You know my grandfather too?" I'm a little curious.
"Acquaintance." The old monk nodded, his eyes complicated: "Before giving you those things, the monk wants to ask you, have you figured it out?" ”
I was stunned and didn't speak.
"Have you really decided to follow your grandfather's old path?" The old monk asked.
I scratched my head when I heard the question.
"I can't say whether it's a decision or not, it's just a walk to try first, if the situation is not right, I will definitely retreat immediately."
The old monk laughed twice, without disdain, nor did he scold me for not being angry like the old man Zuo.
"Changshan, you have more wisdom roots than Zuo Dao."
"You've won the prize, I'm not Huigen, I'm cowardly." I said embarrassedly.
As I spoke, I suddenly remembered something.
Before coming, Zheng Xiaoxian'er took a letter to me, saying that the old man Zuo asked him to bring it to me, and then asked me to pass it on to the old monk
"By the way, Senior Luo, I have a letter for you here." As I spoke, I took out the envelope from my duffel bag, then handed it to the old monk, and said what Zheng Xiaoxian'er instructed me to say: "I wrote this letter myself, you can take a look." ”
After the old monk took the letter, he didn't hesitate and opened it in front of me.
At that moment, the young man who had been dozing in the courtyard pushed open the door and walked in.
"Daddy, I'm done chanting, can I eat?"
