I asked Azan Nangya, "Is there a way?" ”

Azan Nangya thought for a while and replied: "There are still ways to do it, the simplest and most effective is to find a larger room, let Master Qingxiu sit in the front, and pull up the curtain behind him, and then I sit behind the curtain, and when Master Qingxiu sprinkles the water of human affection on those believers with a Dharma pat, I just chant the mantra in a low voice." ”

Ms. Li hurriedly said: "I think it's okay, Master has also passed holy water to others before, but it was just a finger dipped in water and gently flicked on the other party's forehead, now it can be said that the form has been changed, and the blessing effect is better." ”

Angkor asked, "But can this be effective, without Master Azan Nangya personally sprinkling this popularity water?" ”

"Of course, it's best if I cast the spell myself, but if I show up, will I be suspected?" Azan Nangya asked. Ms. Li said that it should be no problem, just find an excuse, for example, this Azan Nangya is from Thailand, and she specializes in learning Buddhism with the master, and also helps everyone cast the Dharma by the way, which can cure diseases and strengthen the body.

Everyone agreed with this method, and Master Qing Xiu asked, "If I come to cast a mantra and you recite the mantra, how much will the effect be discounted?" Azan Nangya thought about it and said that this kind of spell casting process mainly depends on the mantra, whether it is operated by me or not, it has little impact. Master Qingxiu nodded: "Okay, then it's up to you to cast the spell." ”

Since he said so, it was difficult for others to say anything more. Master Qing Xiu asked Angkor, "Have you been notified of all the activities?" ”

Angkor said: "The notice has already arrived, and at least thirty people will come to receive the spell at noon tomorrow, and there will be more than twenty people each the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." "I thought to myself that there are really not a few people, it seems that Master Qingxiu is also somewhat influential, don't look at this temple is small, and the mountain is also remote. Ms. Li told us that the 30 or so people who will come tomorrow are all those who are mentally vacillating, and she hopes that tomorrow's spell casting will make them more loyal to Master in the future.

It is convenient to go to the bathroom, I thought that the toilet in this remote temple was similar to that in the countryside, just a place fenced with wooden planks and dug a pit. Surprisingly, all the rooms and furnishings in this temple are very simple, except for the bathrooms, which are actually modern. The door is also an old wooden door, but when it is opened, it is bright, it is paved with high-end tiles, the sink is wider than a four-star hotel, even the toilet is a brand-name product, it is polished everywhere, the eyes are shining, and the towels are neatly folded.

I was immediately confused, closed the door, this is the bathroom of a high-end hotel, you can push the door out, it is an ordinary temple meditation room, why do you want to do this, does Master Qingxiu have special requirements?

There are monks in the temple who are responsible for cooking, and before evening, Azan Nangya said that it was the first time she saw the temples in the country and wanted to look around, so I and Azan Nangya walked around the temple in front of the temple under the leadership of Ms. Li. There were two monks standing on the railing of the front hall talking, and I saw one monk eating chocolate, and the other monk holding a DSLR camera in his hand, focusing on the frame.

I don't have much of a hobby for photography, but I also know a lot of camera brands, and I saw that the lanyard of this monk's camera has the words "CanonEos" printed on it, and there should be a model number, but I don't remember it. The camera's lens was thick and long, so it didn't look like a bargain, and the monk was very young, in his early twenties at most. I couldn't help but walk over and talk to the monk and ask what the monk was shooting, the monk looked at me, smiled and said that it was just fiddling, there was nothing to shoot, and there was no good scenery here.

"How much does this camera cost, it's expensive, isn't it?" I asked.

The monk replied very cheerfully: "It's not expensive, more than seven thousand." Seeing that he answered lightly, it didn't seem like he was deliberately showing off, as if the more than 7,000 yuan was only equivalent to more than seventy. Looking at another monk, the chocolate in his hand was all printed in foreign languages, as if it was not in English, so I asked what kind of chocolate it was, was it delicious. The monk was very hospitable, and while saying that it was delicious, he opened the silver foil, carefully tore off the part, and then broke a large piece of chocolate with this silver foil and handed it to me.

I took a bite, and I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but I think it's really fragrant, and the taste is completely different from what I've eaten before. Seeing that I liked it, the monk smiled and said, "This is Italian XXX brand chocolate, because Master only eats this brand, so we also eat it." ”

Talking to these two young monks, I learned that neither of them was more than twenty-three years old, and that they had become monks when they were in elementary school, so I was embarrassed to ask why.

Following Ms. Li in front of the temple and behind the temple, there is a large vegetable field in the backyard, planted with many types, it seems that the monks eat it themselves. Not to mention, this kind of idyllic life is really good.

Turning to several meditation rooms in the backyard, Ms. Li pointed to one door: "These are all gifts from believers to my master." "The door is locked, but there are windows, you can see that this room is not small, the first thing I saw was the barrels of soybean oil all over the ground, at least nearly 100 barrels of different colors and specifications, and dozens of bags of rice noodles next to it. In addition, there are many exquisite wooden tables and chairs, on which are placed various golden Buddha statues, and more than a dozen large and small colorful commodity packaging boxes.

I'm short-sighted, and my eyesight is not so good, so I can only see the pictures printed on those boxes, such as cameras, mobile phones, and water bottles, which should be all kinds of electronic products. But there are two large boxes, and you don't need to look closely to know that they are LCD TVs. At that time, it was 07, and LCD TVs were not as popular as they are now, and they were still rare. In addition, there are many bottles, cans and boxes printed in foreign languages, which look like milk powder, food and supplements.

I couldn't help asking, "Are these all gifts from your master?" ”

Ms. Li corrected: "It was not received by my master, but by the believers, and he does not like to receive gifts, but these people often drive over to deliver these things in order to show their love and gratitude to the master." ”

When I left the temple and visited the vegetable garden in the backyard, I began to beat the drum in my heart, at first I thought that Master Qingxiu wanted to open up the channel of believers to have more people to support him, but now I am afraid that this is not the reason. Judging from the things in the room just now, they are worth a lot of money, where can ordinary people use these things?

In the evening, we ate with the monks in the temple in the dining hall, of course, all vegetarian, but the taste was not bad, not as unpalatable as expected. These monks don't talk much during the meal, but because of me, Azan Nangya, and Ms. Li Angkor and others at our table, Ms. Li talks a lot and chats often, and Master Qing Xiu will also respond. So I asked, "Master Qingxiu, there is a room where there are a lot of barrels of oil, but there are not many monks in the temple, what should I do if the oil is not eaten and spoiled?" ”

"How many barrels of oil are broken now?" Master Qing Xiu asked Angkor.

Angkor said as he picked up the vegetables: "There are about seventy barrels. "I was surprised, out of a total of more than 100 barrels of oil, more than 70 barrels were bad, isn't this a waste, so I asked if I could give it to the villagers down the mountain.

Master Qing Xiu did not answer, and Ms. Li said, "A few years ago, Master used to ask the villagers down the mountain to come to the mountain to fetch oil and other food, but then they got used to it and often came up to the mountain to ask Master if there was any oil that they could not eat. These people have become inert, if you give them oil to eat for many years, if you don't send it in the future, they may come and grab it, right, Master? Qing Xiu nodded.

I thought to myself that this theory seemed to be correct, but I felt that something was wrong, but I didn't figure it out for a while.

The next day we got up early, washed up and finished eating, those monks under the leadership of Qing Xiu, listened to the scriptures and meditated in the scripture hall, I wandered around boringly in front of the temple and behind the temple, often passing by the scripture hall. I found that from eight o'clock to eleven o'clock, for three hours, these ten monks were quietly listening to the scriptures, not only no one moved, but even the sound of moving muscles and bones and even coughing was not much, and I couldn't help but admire that the life of these monks was indeed very self-disciplined.

A huge curtain had been drawn in front of the prayer hall and covered the entire wall, and Azan Nangya sat in the back beforehand, hidden by the curtain. Most of these monks did not know that there was a lady behind the curtain, and they only cared about listening to the scriptures carefully.
