253. Chapter 172 The Little Book Is Useful Strange things are recorded in the book
"It's a very long dress, it's a bright color -- it's a pink dress."
Silently speaking, it should be pajamas.
Ouyang Ping continued to look down:
"I watched them walk through the back door, and when I unlocked the door and walked through the back door, the two were gone."
The diary came to an abrupt end.
Abbot Silent turned to the next one:
"April 6, 1977. This morning, when Abbot Huijue was presiding over the puja, he was not as energetic as before, his concentration was not as good as before, he kept yawning before and after the puja, and his body shook more obviously. ”
After the three of them finished reading, they silently turned to the back page:
On August 14, 1995, a few days ago, Jingping suddenly said goodbye, some people said that they saw Jingping go down the mountain, why did Jingping leave Mingchen Temple silently? Before, a few people had quietly left the Mingchen Temple, and several people left the Mingchen Temple in the same way. In the temple, no matter who goes down the mountain to do business, they will greet the poor nuns, especially Jingping and Qingshui. Master Mo Fei once said that the truth that those who escape into the empty door will never turn back has never been there before--Master Mo Fei has a lot of doubts about the monks and nuns in the temple returning to the laity. Besides, the treatment of those nuns who serve the abbot in the temple is relatively high, they do not have to go down the mountain to change their fate, nor do they have to do miscellaneous labor, and they do not get tired of Buddhism and have the idea of returning to the world. ”
"Abbot Moran, who is this master Fei?"
"Master Fei has been an ancient Chinese New Year, when she was alive, she mentioned this matter to me, she was young at the time, and she didn't take her words seriously."
"When did Master Fei make an ancient master?"
"The year of liberation."
That is to say, when the abbot Yijing was alive, there were also cases of missing monks and nuns in Mingchen Temple.
Everything in the diary is an objective narrative with few subjective conclusions. But it can be seen that Mo Ran has deep thinking in the narrative, and the narration itself shows that Mo Ran has thoughts about the things narrated.
Silent has his own thoughts on many phenomena, please see the following:
"July 1, 1985: Today, Abbot Huijue arranged for Xiuzhu to bathe and shave in the quiet courtyard. When I first came to Mingchen Temple, Mingchen Temple had a special bathing place, I don't know when it began, Abbot Huijue put the bathing place in the Jingyou Courtyard, and the abbot Yijing was also like this, and the bathing place was changed to the Jingyou Courtyard It seems that it started from the abbot Yijing. Why change the bathing place to a secluded courtyard? ”
Again, this diary contains only thoughts and questions, no conclusions.
Now, we all know why the two abbots changed their bathing place to a secluded courtyard. This shows that Mo Ran's original thinking was not mediocre. Excessive anxiety.
Under the guidance of Abbot Mo Ran, the three of them also read three diaries, and after reading these three diaries, the four of them had to admire Mo Ran's keen observation and meticulous character.
It's a sin, sooner or later you have to take it to the sun to dry, the Buddha doesn't ask, God asks, God doesn't ask, someone asks. The three notes that were silently and secretly passed to the comrades were by no means a whim.
There is no doubt that the three notes of silence played a crucial role in the investigation of the disappearance of Mingchen Temple.
Below, let's take a look at these three short diaries:
