Chapter 13: The Beginning of the Dull
"I beg your pardon for crying too much and hoarse because of the death of my adoptive father. ”
The monk's face was feverish, and he cleared his throat and asked:
"Donor, who is now running this church, and what did Father Philip die for? ”
When the girl in front of her heard this, her eyes began to turn red again, the appearance of pear blossoms with rain was really pitiful, but the monk was a little hasty and didn't know how to deal with it, the girl finally controlled her emotions before replying:
"Father Philip contracted a cold because he was on duty every night during the town riots in the past few days, and Dr. Jack came to see him once, and his condition had improved, but it suddenly deteriorated a few days ago, and then, and then, then, and then"
The girl began to cry again, if it was an adult woman in front of her, the monk could also read some scriptures and say some comforting words, but the girl in front of her who looked like a porcelain doll was crying there, and Huigang really felt that there was nothing to do.
I finally stopped crying
"Before his death, my adoptive father said that he must find the clergy of the Holy Church to overtake his soul. ”
Speaking of this, the girl's eyes lit up, and her eyes suddenly seemed to have countless starlight
"Master, aren't you an ascetic of the church, please be sure to fulfill this wish of my father-in-law, I dragged the people from the town to the nearby city a few days ago, but they didn't want to come. ”
Hui Gang sighed secretly in his heart, although this old priest does not have any strong skills, the kind of single-minded work for others is admirable, but after his death, the people in this town are so unkind, thinking of this, he thought of himself and Alina when they came back from the mountains, the actions of the townspeople, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
As for the girl's request, the monk did not hesitate, when he came to this world, the identity of the previous owner of the body was already a dead person, and there was no Buddhism here, if there was no identity to walk in this world, there would be many inconveniences. Whether it is in Fleet's memory or in Gravel Town, this holy church is to see what this Father Philip did, it is to be merciful to the world and to remember the world.
Hui Gang secretly thought in his heart: Buddhism is compassionate, and he does good deeds without asking for reasons.
The monk who thought of this secretly made up his mind, he made up his mind and said to the girl in front of him:
"This is what a poor monk should do, and he is willing to serve. ”
Hui Gang said to the girl, waited a little, and turned around to go out.
When he returned to his house, he called Darrow and told him about the church, saying that he needed some help, and that since the monk lived in Darrow's house, he never asked the people in the town to help him, but he helped cure Darrow's mother's cough for many years.
Da Luo was quite flattered when he opened his mouth this time, and when he heard the monk's order, he immediately went to gather some young people in the town, and it was easy to gather people in the town according to Hui Gang's prestige at this time.
From Darro's words, the monk also learned about the church, and Father Philip's predecessor was a greedy man with a very bad reputation in the town. When Father Philip arrives in town with his adopted daughter Phil after he leaves, the people of Gravel already hate the church.
The townspeople were summoned by Daro to the church, and under the leadership of the monk, the corpses parked in the backyard of the church were put into the coffin and carried together to the cemetery on the west side of the town.
When I came to the cemetery, the monk and the adopted daughter of the priest were taken aback, all the people in the town came to this place, it turned out that the scoundrels who teased Fei'er had the nephew of the mayor of the town, and after being angry by the monk, he became more and more afraid after going back, and Huigang's angry drink used the internal force of the lion's roar of the Buddhist door, which was the most shocking heart. Although they have controlled their strength, those few young people who have no foundation can't stand it
Hearing this, the mayor of the town, who was afraid of offending the town's protector god, reprimanded a few scoundrels, and then hurried to the cemetery with people, and the other townspeople naturally followed.
The more people there are, the greater the strength, under the command of Daro, the tomb was quickly dug, and the clergy who presided over the funeral according to the routine should give a speech and say a few words about the life of the deceased, but the predecessor of the monk had not participated in any funerals.
"When evaluating a person, we should see what he has done, we cannot judge whether the person is a good person or a bad person according to the size of the good things he has done, as long as he has done it, he should be respected. ”
After saying these words, he began to recite the transcendent "mantra of death"
Everyone present heard the death spell, heard the sacred voice that soothed the soul, and remembered what Father Philip had done to the town, and everyone felt guilty about their former coldness.
The priest's adopted daughter, Fei'er, couldn't hold back the sadness in her heart and cried, Huigang's scriptures did not stop, and after reciting the mantra, the monk directly changed the mantra of purifying his heart. According to his observations, Fei'er's heart has been too depressed in the past few days, and this scripture is to relieve her spirit, so that the depression will not be entangled in her heart and hurt her body.
Listening to the monk's scriptures, Fei'er gradually stopped crying, and her face gradually brightened
Hui Gang was intently reciting the scriptures there, and the townspeople present all lowered their heads and secretly prayed to the god of light, but the monk suddenly felt that someone was staring at him.
He looked up in some surprise, and there was a person in the crowd who quickly lowered his head, and when he looked in that direction, the monk's eyesight naturally saw clearly, it was Alina who had not been photographed for several days. Hui Gang was puzzled, but this was not the time to worry about such trivial matters, so he didn't mention it.
Father Philip's funeral was successfully completed, and the mayor of Gravel Town was still uneasy, and as soon as it was over, he rushed to Phil before the crowd dispersed, and his sudden action frightened the little girl to take a step back, but saw the round mayor of the town with a smile on his face and said to Phil:
"Miss Phil, I've scolded a few things that don't make it happen, they have lost the face of the whole Gravel Town, and I promise you that nothing like this will happen again. ”
The mayor of the town paused, seeing that Fei'er in front of him did not react, he peeked at the monk who was standing there watching Daro and them add soil, wiped the sweat on his face and continued:
"We will be renovating the church soon, and then I will encourage the townspeople to take the initiative to worship and pray....."
The mayor of the town was afraid that the little girl in front of him would hold a grudge, she had no grudge, but it was obvious that the 'Master Huigang' was dissatisfied with the townspeople's cold treatment of Father Philip's family, thinking of this, the mayor couldn't help but scold himself for being confused, this master was originally an ascetic who knew divine healing, and the church was a family of how could he ignore it.
At this time, Fei'er didn't hear the mayor's almost flattering words at all, the little girl's attention was completely attracted by Hui Gang who was standing on the side, the monk at this time was shrouded in the red light of the setting sun, the brown linen robe on the thin body, and the blonde hair that had just grown out were shrouded in this brilliant light, with the monk's gentle and quiet look, it looked so sacred. It seems that the whole body is radiating holy golden light.
At this time, Fei'er, the deepest part of her heart, seemed to be touched by something, the little girl's face instantly became like a fire, and the mayor who was racking his brains there noticed the strangeness of the little girl, and he immediately had a plan. As soon as he said his plan, Fei'er immediately nodded in agreement like a peck of rice
Hui Gang was there quietly watching Daro fill the tomb with the last spade of soil, things are not people, and Philip is also a character who fell in love with him, but he didn't expect to disappear in this world in an instant. The monk couldn't help but have a strange thought in his heart, whether the old priest would go to another world like me after he died.
While he was thinking about it, the mayor of the town, who was talking to Fei'er, had already come over and said to him with a smile:
"Master Huigang, there is a lack of priests in the church in the town, and now the only people in the town of Gravel who are holy churches are you and Miss Fei'er, it is always inconvenient for a girl to preside over the church, and there are also some things that shame the town this afternoon, you see, can you preside over the church, so as to better guide the townspeople to the arms of God." ”
