Chapter 127: Phalange Relic
Zhang Fan sat on the ground, his eyes blank. For a while, the heavy blow shattered all Zhang Fan's thoughts. Master must have already made arrangements, and the last time he went by himself, Master opened the path of cultivation for himself and guided him to take refuge when he passed away! In order not to affect his practice, he didn't let himself come until the day of his death, and he didn't even let himself see Zuihou.
Akon was speechless for a while, supported Zhang Fan, who was so soft that he was on the ground, hugged the restless 'Jed', and came to the corner of the square to sit down. I saw two lines of tears flowing from Zhang Fan's dull eyes, and Akon helped him wipe them, but he couldn't stop them. In a moment, a large number of tears wet the front of the shirt. The 'Jed' dog is usually very well-behaved, but today he is restless.
Akon hugged 'Jed' to comfort him, and his heart was also infected with some sadness.
The two sat for a long time, until the festival dispersed, and Zhang Fan did not get up. Those acquaintances didn't know why, and they didn't come to say hello. The two sat like this for a day, and Akon also showed rare patience and accompanied Zhang Fan.
As the sun set, Akon gently put down the good dog 'Jed', got up and moved his body, and was about to talk to Zhang Fan, who had been sitting for a day. But I saw that 'Jed' suddenly barked and rushed out.
Akon hurriedly chased after him, "Hey, when you come back, why don't you run around as soon as you put it down!" ”
'Jed' ignored Akon and plunged headlong into the pile of ashes, his front paws flickering, as if searching for something. Akon was so shocked that he shouted Zhang Fan, and hurriedly rushed up to stop it.
But Zhang Fan behind him said: "Let it go, the master will summon him to go, and there will be a deep meaning." ”
Listening to Zhang Fan's clear voice, Akon turned around in surprise, and saw that Zhang Fan's eyes seemed to regain their brightness, could it be that this guy finally figured it out? ! When he was about to turn around, the dog seemed to gouge something out of the ashes, put it in his mouth, ran back, and plunged into Zhang Fan's arms.
Zhang Fan sighed, stretched out his hand, and 'Jed' obediently spit out the object in his mouth, screaming in a low voice, and snuggled up to Zhang Fan. Zhang Fan glanced down at the things in his hand, put them in his pocket, and beckoned to Aken: "It's here, it's time for us to go." ”
Akon didn't know why, but thinking that this master and apprentice and this strange dog were not simple, it was better to go back and talk about it.
Zhang Fan was silent all the way, quiet in an indifferent and deep melancholy. There was no sadness in my heart, and there was no other emotion. An ethereal realm after sorrow shrouded Zhang Fan. It's like clarity and tranquility after a heavy rain. It seems that after suddenly getting away from the hustle and bustle, I heard the distant ancient Sanskrit sound.
Akon was also infected by this realm, and fell into a sense of tranquility......
…………
"What is this?" Akon took the small object and looked at it carefully. But it was a tooth-yellow tube with a metal ring on it. It's just blackened and yellow by the flames.
Zhang Fan took it, pinched the metal ring with his fingers and rubbed it for a while, and then twisted it slightly, and the metal ring broke free and rolled into Zhang Fan's palm. It turned out to be a silver-white wide-brimmed ring.
"Where do you think you've seen it?" Akon took the ring and looked at it, "By the way, I saw an identical one hanging from Honzo's chest. Is this it? ……”
Zhang Fan shook his head, stroked a thin tube in his hand, and fell into deep nostalgia.
"That's? ......" Akon understood in his heart.
"It's the teacher's finger bone relic...... Zhang Fan said lightly, "This is for 'Jed'." ”
"To 'Jed'? Not for you? "Akon looked at the strange dog, but saw 'Jed' lazily lying under the Buddha case, but his eyes were fixed on the finger bone relic.
"The ring is for me, and the phalanx relic is for Jed." Zhang Fan leaned on the sofa and looked at the ceiling: "The teacher has arranged everything, I know." He knew that my cultivation realm was not stable, and he knew that he would inevitably be sad when he died, so he didn't want me to be there, and let me go after I died. My concentration is still very poor, and the path of cultivation is long. ”
Akon said no more, and the two pondered for a long time. Zhang Fan stood up and took a bundle of five-colored thick threads and a string of bracelets on the Buddha case. I took the scissors, cut the bracelet on my hand and the bracelet on the Buddhist table, and then carefully dressed it into a string of hanging beads. Then he put the phalange relic on his neck and hung it around Jed's neck. I hung that ring myself. After doing all this, I put a stick of incense in front of the Buddha and prayed.
Akon watched Zhang Fan do things and sighed, "I'm leaving tomorrow, it doesn't matter to you, right?" ”
Zhang Fan smiled: "I'm fine, the teacher has already arranged for this trip, I'm just not used to it for a while." Well, there are still some confusions that I haven't had time to ask Master. Looks like he meant to let me think for myself, and not to rely on him. ”
"Actually, I think you have long understood that the master and apprentice are playing dumb riddles, and they have to pretend to be confused." Akon also smiled: "I don't know if I understand or am confused." ”
"That's right, that's what it's called 'The world is still over, why can't it be done.'" Zhang Fan smiled and nodded; The ancient proverb has long been clear, but it can't be understood until the end of the matter. ”
"I can't get you, since you're okay, then I'll leave early tomorrow morning. The school also has to go back and explain. ”
…………
As soon as Akon left, Zhang Fan rarely went out, reciting scriptures and practicing at home, pondering and recalling the various teachings of his master. Pondering what has happened to the supernatural world over the past week, trying to connect with some connection with the precept holder Shijie. Or go online in the store to look up some information about ancient wars and familiarize yourself with the historical background of the war scenes that may appear in the shijie of the vow-holder.
Not to mention the homework that Zhang Fan did at home, then Akon returned to his college and began to get busy.
First of all, I went to say hello to the professor who led the scientific research group of the school, and the professor was very happy to see this backbone coming back, so he invited him to rub it that night. Discuss with him the progress of several topics in the group.
"I said Aken, don't be so unsettled, honestly follow my brother and me at school. It's easy to talk about the escort. Now there is no place in the department you want to enter, and you refuse to change subjects. But as soon as there is movement, brother, I will help you immediately, what do you think? "The professor doesn't look like a scholar, and he is close to Akon.
"Cut, you keep saying this so much that calluses are grinding out of my ears. When will I have an eyebrow? I'm not rare in this school, there are many schools in Beijing, at most I pay tuition, and simply go to take the haode exam. The last time I went to Beijing for a science and technology exchange, the teacher from the Tsinghua research group called me. Akon pouted.
