Chapter 127: Taoyuan Ancient Temple

Lao Wang was silent for a long time, and suddenly sighed and said: "Alas, Mr. Zhang is not kind to this matter, but it's a pity that I am in trouble now, and I am afraid that I will not be able to solve this troublesome matter!" ”

What does Lao Wang mean by this? I didn't understand it for a moment, but a strong sense of fear enveloped me. There must be something very unfavorable behind this. People are like this, when they don't know what they are going to face with fear, they will be very afraid, and when they know it, they will face it formally.

I asked in a panic, "Lao Wang, is the trouble you are talking about, is it your friend Mr. Zhang who lent me money?" ”

Lao Wang suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Xiaomo, don't think nonsense. After you came back from **, it stands to reason that I want to give you a good pick-up, but all my current companies are in financial trouble, and I don't have the heart to accompany you. In this way, after breakfast, let Xiao Zhang and Xiao Ding go out with you for a walk! ”

This was a bit of a surprise to me, and I hesitated for a moment and said, "Lao Wang, you still don't need it, right?" They are the account sales managers you hired, and your company is in a difficult situation now, and you need their help, how can I miss a big deal because I am an idler? ”

Lao Wang smiled slightly and said, "Brother Xiaomo, I believe that there is no endless road to heaven!" The company's current predicament may be a precursor to my big deal! Hehe, shrink your fist and hit it more powerfully! Brother Xiaomo, you can be relieved, have fun, and help me in the future. Haha, the day my old king soars, he won't treat you badly, Brother Xiaomo! ”

He paused, the smile on his face was even more full, he patted me on the shoulder, and said with a mysterious smile: "Brother Xiaomo, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Ding are top students from medical school, and they are beautiful. Hehe, maybe you have a fate with one of them, and then I will be your witness, begging for a glass of wine to drink. ”

Red Sleeves and Heavenly Fairy immediately lowered their heads, blushing and not saying a word. I also glanced at them in a panic, and happened to see that the fairy who had been ambiguous with me in the morning was also secretly looking at me. At that moment, I was at a loss again. I began to wonder if I had misunderstood them. Maybe I saw the unbearable scene between them and Lao Wang last night, just like what happened to them when I saw them by the **holy lake, which is also an illusion that does not exist in real life?

I even began to fantasize about what it would be like if I were actually in a relationship with a fairy or one of the Red Sleeves. To be honest, I actually understand it in my heart, just in terms of temperament and appearance, they are not necessarily inferior to Tan Min, but people have a preconceived notion, the moment Tan Min and I first met, she tugged at my heartstrings.

The image of the goddess is often established in an inadvertent moment. It is precisely because she is regarded as a goddess that she will not dare to face it, and the mystery in her heart will be stronger. As a result, I will fall into deep thoughts, and her smile will not touch my heart. Every time I miss her, I tug at my heartstrings, and although it hurts, it is also sweet.

I don't know how to end this complicated breakfast. By the time I really came to my senses, Lao Wang had already left home to go to his company, and I, in the company of two beautiful women, was strolling on a hilly mountain road.

This is actually Lao Wang's idea, Lao Wang told me, Zhang Qian and Ding Rong also believe in Buddhism, and I just came back from **, so I should go to the temple to meet the Buddha. Lao Wang's idea is also exactly what I want, and I also intend to take Red Sleeves and the Heavenly Fairy into the monastery to see if the heavens can give me any hints to solve the illusory mysteries in my heart.

It is a centuries-old temple nestled under three hills, as if surrounded by three hills. The mountain gate of the ancient temple is facing south, and it is indeed a treasure of feng shui.

The mountain road is lined with dense bamboo, and the breeze blows, and the bamboo shadows are colorful in the sun, bringing a burst of coolness to the scorching summer heat. I walked along the asphalt-paved winding mountain road with the red sleeves and the heavenly fairy, and along the way, the two of us walked around me like flowers and butterflies, very similar to the scene when they entered Tibet.

The mountain road is so quiet that there are hardly any tourists. When I and the Red Sleeves and the Heavenly Fairy saw the yellow bricks of the temple in the bamboo shadow not far away, everyone was very excited.

Red Sleeves suddenly said mischievously: "Brother Xiaomo, do you feel very tired after walking so far?" Do you want to drink water? ”

I said strangely, "Drink water?" The three of us each brought a bottle of mineral water when we came, and we had already drunk it, so where did we get the water? Seeing Red Sleeves' smiling expression, I smiled: "Red Sleeves, it can't be that you are hiding private goods, right?" Take it out and the three of us will share it! ”

Red Sleeves took a sip and said, "I'm not a magician, can you see if I can hide a bottle of water on my body?" Red Sleeves spun three times in front of me. She was wearing a tulle pink dress, and when she turned, her figure was so graceful that I was stunned for a moment.

The Heavenly Fairy deliberately said unhappily: "Hey! Brother Xiaomo, I don't think you're thirsty, right? Look at your eyes, look at the red-sleeved sister is straight. ”

I embarrassedly hid it: "How can there be! I'm not looking to see if it's possible for her to hide the mineral water in her bag! Red Sleeves chuckled, "How is this possible?" My bag is so small, of course I can't put it down! Hey, I'm not going around in circles with you. Look, what's over there? ”

Following the direction of her finger, I was pleasantly surprised to see that in the bamboo forests all over the mountains, there was actually a pink color. Red Sleeves giggled: "You two, your eyes have attracted the temple, but you have ignored this peach forest!" Let's go over and have a look, pick a few peaches to quench our thirst! ”

The Heavenly Fairy said excitedly: "Okay! It must have been an orchard planted by someone else, and we went into the monastery, but we didn't have anything to eat, so let's go and eat peaches before we went in! ”

I was already thirsty, and I wouldn't have whetted the interest of the two beauties in front of me, so I naturally readily agreed. When we came to the peach forest, we were surprised to find that we were in this mountain and did not know the mountain, and the peach forest was actually in front of the temple. Passing through the peach forest, there is a man-made paved and leveled field, and the tall and majestic mountain gate of the temple is in front of us.

Since crossing the peach forest did not delay us from entering the temple, the three of us suddenly became very relaxed. But the strange thing is that such a good peach forest does not have a guarded shack.

The fairy fluttered her big eyes and asked me, "Brother Xiaomo, no one manages this peach forest, is it a wild peach?" Then we don't need money to pick peaches and eat them? ”

I took a closer look and said, "It's not like a wild peach forest, you can see that this peach forest is square, and it is obviously artificially planted." The peach trees inside still have traces of trimmed branches and leaves, which must have been managed manually. Isn't it a little strange that the peach trees here are tall and fruitful, while the peach trees around us now have not yet grown. ”

Red Sleeves muttered, "It's not obvious, the peach grove was planted in a planned way." No one manages it, which means that this peach forest is under the management of the temple. Don't say so much, let's pick peaches and eat them! ”

I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't resist the crimson in front of me. Seeing that I was slow to speak, Red Sleeves and the Heavenly Fairy had already become impatient, and had already picked a few peaches in their hands.

"You can eat peaches, but you can't!" , a lady who suddenly appeared in front of us startled us. She was carrying an earthy yellow sachet on her back, and at first glance she looked like a pilgrim who had come to make incense.

I hurriedly explained: "Auntie, we are really thirsty, so we picked peaches to eat." Just now we were looking for the administrator, and we wanted to spend money on peaches to eat. ”

The eldest lady shook her head, and then said enthusiastically: "So it's the first time you have come here?" It's no wonder you don't understand the rules here. I tell you, this place is called Taoyuan Temple, and the peaches in front of this temple are for passers-by to quench their thirst and satisfy their hunger. It's just a little bit, eat one and count one, until you feel full, and you must not l, otherwise you will be sent by heaven! ”

Red Sleeves and Heavenly Fairy were startled, and Red Sleeves hurriedly explained: "Auntie, we won't do it." The two of us just picked a total of five peaches, and there were three of us! ”

The eldest lady nodded slightly and smiled: "These two girls are as beautiful as fairies, I believe that you are good people and will not." ”

I said curiously: "Auntie, this temple is called Taoyuan Temple, and there are so many peach trees planted in front of the temple, it won't be the meaning of Tao Yuanming's 'paradise', right?" ”

The eldest lady said, "Who is Tao Yuanming?" I don't know, I only know the masters in this Taoyuan Temple. This Taoyuan Temple has a history! It is said that a long time ago, there was no temple here, and a foreign wandering monk saw that the feng shui here was good, so he set up a grass hut here and lived and practiced. ”

"The fields under the mountains are basically owned by a rich man. The rich man was a philanthropist, but because he only believed in the Tao and did not wait to see the monk, he refused to allow the monk to come to the door. The monk was refused, and when he left, he was humiliated by the rich man and threw a leftover peach pit at the monk. ”

The monk did not move, but smiled and picked up the peach pit and returned to the grass hut on the mountain to continue his penance. A few years later, the rebels took over the area, and the rich family had to flee into the mountains for safety. However, they are used to being pampered in ordinary times, so how can they endure the hardships of avoiding war? It didn't take long to eat up the dry food that I had brought up the mountain. ”

Just as the family was dying of hunger, the monk he had humiliated suddenly appeared in front of them. The monk gave them a basket of peaches and left without saying a word. The rich man's family survived on this basket of peaches. A few days later, the court successfully quelled the rebellion, and the rich family was able to return to the bottom of the mountain. ”
