Chapter 255: The Past of the Clear Sky is Unbearable (3)
"Pure heart! What are you all fuss about? I didn't tell you the secret of the Scripture Pavilion! I'm just saying that I went back to the past with you, it was you who built this temple, and you were the first abbot of our Shenlong Temple; I also admit that I have committed a sexual precept, and the child is mine.

Master asked you where you were, and I said that you had made a friend and sent him to the East China Sea. ”
"Master didn't ask you how you came back?"
"I asked, I didn't mention the candle dragon, I didn't mention the altar, and I didn't mention the matter of the ancient Shu Kingdom, I only said that I jumped into the well with the child, I wanted to die, but I didn't expect to come back."
After listening to him, I glared at him angrily, "Senior brother, are you panting for breath?" This is also called 1510? ”
Clearspace looked at me and smiled innocently, and said, "I remember you said you couldn't let anyone know about that." ”
I glanced at him and said angrily, "You still remember." ”
Jingkong smiled, and then continued: "However, after saying that, I regretted it, because after hearing what I said, Master's eyes straightened and he was silent, which made me feel very worried, I don't know if his old man saw that I didn't tell the whole truth, and made up nonsense to lie to him, and I was sad."
You think, the things I'm talking about are so bizarre and weird, and if I hadn't experienced it myself, who wouldn't think I made it up?
Anyway, I watched his old man's reaction at the time, and my heart was so weak that I couldn't do it, thinking that my words were not round, so that he could see the flaws, so frightened that I quickly knelt down for him and said, "Master, the disciple didn't lie, he didn't tell you a lie, he definitely told the truth......
Unexpectedly, the master not only didn't blame me, but also helped me up with both hands and said, "Don't worry, I don't doubt you." The child with a pure heart is different when he is young, and he is not a vulgar type; And extremely smart, I have long seen that he is not an ordinary person, but I didn't expect him to have such a deep relationship with our Shenlong Temple. ”
I said, "I'm sorry, Master, I didn't take care of my pure heart, and I let him take care of me, and I broke the vows, so you can punish me, as long as you can let our father and son stay, you can punish me as much as you want." ”
The Master sighed at that time and said, "It's all fate, what's the use of me punishing you?" You can stay, but you can't say that this child is yours, just say that you picked it up. ”
"Thank you, Master."
I was busy kowtowing to the master, his old man was kind-hearted, he saved my life at the beginning, and now it is equivalent to saving my father and son's two lives.
At this time, the master sighed: "Originally, I wanted to wait for this abbot position to be passed on to Jingxin after a hundred years, but I don't know when Jingxin will come back after I go, and I am afraid that the master can't wait."
Clear space, you have to use more heart, guard this Shenlong Temple, when your junior brother comes back, there will be a place to stay. When the time comes, you will tell him that I have lived up to his instructions and kept the monastery well. ”
I felt that the abbot's words were strange, and it seemed that there was something in the words, and I was very confused when I heard it, so I asked, "Master, what do you mean by that?" I didn't get it. ”
The abbot looked at me meaningfully and said, "You don't need to understand, tell the pure heart, and he will understand." ”
"So, what if I didn't wait for him to come back?"
The abbot was a little angry at my question, glanced at me, and said in a stiff tone, "Then let your son wait!" ”
I saw that Master was unhappy, so I didn't dare to ask again, but fortunately, Master didn't say anything, just sighed as if he was very tired, and said, "I'm tired and want to rest, so you can go down and rest too." ”
In this way, our father and son had a place to stay, but the next day, just after breakfast, we heard a commotion outside, and Xiao Shami, who turned out to be waiting for the abbot, found that the master was already sitting in the meditation room.
Xiao Shami cried and said, the first night when I ate to see the abbot is fine, I ate half a bowl more than usual, I didn't expect to see the abbot to eat in the morning, I thought the abbot slept late and didn't get up, so he sent breakfast to the meditation room, and planned to wait for the abbot to eat fast, but I didn't expect to enter the door, I saw the abbot dressed neatly and sat on the meditation bed.
While moving the body, a letter fell from the abbot's body. The letter was written to everyone, and the letter said that he was old, and he knew that his destiny had come, and he handed over the position of abbot to me for the time being, and that he would hand over the temple to Jingxin when he returned to Jingxin.
He also explained that he had lived long enough, he was already very tired, and he did not plan to reincarnate again, so he asked us to cremate his body, not to bury it, and only sprinkle the ashes directly in this mountain forest.
Originally, the abbot died without a problem, which was enough for everyone to accept for a while, and now this letter is even more incomprehensible.
Many monks are not convinced, I know that, but I have to listen to Master's words. After cremating him as instructed by the master, I took over the work of the abbot.
If you don't belong to your home, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are. After I became the abbot, I realized that this job was not easy at all. ”
I wondered, "Isn't there a deacon in the temple to help with daily affairs?" ”
I didn't know that Jingkong's face was immediately not good-looking, and he said angrily: "It's okay if you don't mention them, my heart is cold when I mention them." When Master was there, everyone was very nice and respectful to me. If Master doesn't have it, who still takes me seriously?
At the beginning, they were still supposed to accept it on the surface, but gradually they didn't even bother to give face, and they were still fighting openly and secretly, hiding their own hearts, and secretly transferring the property in the temple, leaving only a bunch of problems for me. By the time I remembered to check the accounts, the temple's accounts were already very empty, and there was no balance at all. ”
"Didn't you pursue them?"
"What's the use? People are determined to do this, and they have already thought of a hundred reasons to wait for me, and my abbot is just a false shelf. ”
Looking back on the past, the empty face was depressed and full of resentment and sorrow.
"I was so worried, there were hundreds of people in the temple who opened their mouths every day and waited to ask you for food, I didn't have anything, what could I do to feed them? It's hard. Clearance said with a long sigh.
"Isn't there a land in the temple that can be self-sufficient? And what about the incense money donated by pilgrims? ”
Jingkong smiled bitterly, "How can that little thin field on the mountain be enough for so many people's expenses." It turned out that the temple was able to hold on because the master often went down the mountain to do things, and earned money to supplement the temple's expenses. Master is respected by his old man, and most of the pilgrims come to Master. Since the master is gone, the number of pilgrims has decreased sharply, the monastery has become much deserted, and the merit money is even less pitiful. ”
Jingkong stared vacantly at a vacant space not far ahead, and fell into the unbearable past, and after a long time, he said slowly: "In the past, all the monks couldn't get rid of it, but then it was good, and after a year, they couldn't stay." In the end, I'm left with Nianci guarding here, am I useless? ”
