Chapter 222 Presiding over the Floating Life
Chapter 222 hosts the floating life (sorry for the wrong chapter title)
Heizi drove the carriage slowly and walked on the road, which made it very unaccustomed to it, and frequently looked back at Zhou Weiji, who was driving the car. Zhou Weiji sat by the car door, whispered to Lan Yi through the curtain, didn't bother to pick up the whip, and let Heizi slowly walk towards the county seat, it was still early at this time, the road was lonely and lonely, and there were no pedestrians.
"Equality between men and women?" Zhou Weiji heard a new word again, "What kind of equality law?" ”
Lan Yi and Zhou Weiji were only separated by a curtain, and their voices came out softly, "Equality in the law, men and women make mistakes, and they will be punished for the same mistakes; Women, like men, can study, earn a living, and choose their own marriage. ”
Zhou Weiji frowned, "Choose your own marriage?" No need for three media and six hires, the life of parents? "Isn't that a mess?
"Well, a man and a woman are married." Lan Yi pulled the quilt covering her legs up and covered her whole body, leaving only her head outside, "When it comes to marriage, both men and women can be happy, and parents' objections are invalid." Ordinary parents are open-minded and do not interfere too much in the choice of son-in-law or wife, but just hope that their children can be happy. After men and women fall in love and become married, they have children, of course, there are also those who live under the same roof, and their emotions gradually become alienated and separated, which is called divorce over there, and after divorce, men and women marry irrelevantly. Others will not have any prejudice against these two people because of the divorce. ”
Zhou Weiji frowned, feeling sloppy, "Women are already weaker than men, how can they make a living?" ”
"The three hundred and sixty lines are all chosen by ability and interest, and do not differ from man to woman." Lan Yi remembered the time and space she lived in since she was a child, "As long as a woman has the ability." Can be used as a teacher, a bookkeeper, and a langzhong. Farming, sailing, being an official and other professions, men and women have their own abilities, and there is no idea of who is respected or who is the main one. ”
Zhou Weiji's mind still couldn't imagine what such a 'time and space' should look like, but he could understand that the life of a woman in that time and space was much better than that of Da Zhou. I can hear Lan Yi's nostalgia. He clenched his fists, such a good time and space, she must want to go back.
Through the curtain. Zhou Weiji's silence did not attract Lan Yi's attention, she fell into her memories, and continued: "However, it's so busy over there. Everyone is busy with work. Busy earning money, no time to rest, no time to take care of their children, and even some people are too busy to get married and make friends; They lived in a small place, and it took their life savings to buy three houses, and there was no yard; It's dirty over there, dirtier than the dust we have here when the wind blows. Wear a cloth towel to cover your mouth and nose when you enter and exit; The food over there is not good, and a lot of the food looks exquisite. But it loses its original flavor, and it also contains a lot of toxins that are not good for people, and eating it will cause a lot of strange diseases. ”
Zhou Weiji's fist slowly loosened, that time and space, was it good or bad, did she like it or hate?
"Brother Tuesday, which temple are we going to?"
"Qing'an Temple, let's go see the presiding master of Qing'an Temple."
There is Fuma Temple in the south of Huangxian County, there is Qing'an Temple in the north of the city, both are Buddhist temples, there is Taoist Feixia Temple in the east of the city, and the most prosperous incense is Qing'an Temple.
Lan Yi became interested, "The second aunt said that Master Fusheng is difficult to meet, saying that he is a high-ranking monk and is more than a hundred years old, and Brother Tuesday knows him?" ”
Zhou Weiji nodded slightly, "I was fortunate enough to meet Master Fusheng three times, and I went to visit him yesterday, but Master Fusheng did not retreat, so I only brought you here today." One by one, I told Master Fusheng about your life experience, and he won't talk about it to others. Besides me, who else have you told about your life experience? ”
"Only the second brother."
Zhou Wei was extremely calm, "This matter is only known to the three of us, and I can't tell others anymore, one by one, can you know the stakes?" ”
Of course she does.
In front of the main gate of Qing'an Temple, there is an endless flow of people, and the cigarette smoke is faint. Zhou Weiji didn't stop, drove to the side gate of the temple and stopped, helped Lan Yi get out of the car, and tightened her clothes and hat, "Don't be afraid." ”
He seemed to be talking to Lan Yi and listening to himself.
Zhou Weiji went up the steps, knocked on the wooden door three times, and waited quietly in front of the door with Lan Yi.
The main gate of Qing'an Temple floats in the dust, but the side door is extremely quiet, a few wooden drums and jackdaws, a bald little monk with a bald head of eleven or twelve opened the door, folded his hands and retreated to the side.
The side courtyard was covered by an ancient tree, Lan Yi looked up, saw a few bird's nests between the branches, and hung an old wooden plaque in the small pavilion next to the tree, engraved with the word "silent shadow", Lan Yi was attracted by this plaque, and read softly: "The nest is silent in the high place of the cold branch, and I don't see the birds glimpsing." ”
The little monk raised his eyes and glanced at her with a little surprise, his lips moved slightly, but he immediately made a deep appearance like a monk, leading the way.
Passing through the side yard, there is a smaller courtyard inside, the snow in the courtyard has not been removed, and two cold plums stand proudly in the snow, which has brought spring. Zhou Weiji helped Lan Yi into the meditation room, in front of the Buddha statue sat cross-legged a thin and withered old monk with a long beard, if it weren't for his hand counting the Buddha beads one by one, Lan Yi would definitely think that this was a seated Buddha in the flesh.
This is the presiding master of Qing'an Temple? Sure enough, he looks like a master.
Lan Yi followed Zhou Weiji to offer incense to the Buddha and kowtowed, sat on the futon in front of the old monk, folded his hands, and did not speak.
The old monk held a rosary and counted them one by one.
Lan Yi looked at the rosary and began to be in a daze again. Prayer beads are commonly used by many religious monks when praying, chanting, chanting, and practicing, and the number of prayer beads in different religions is different. There are 81 Taoist rosaries, representing the eighty-one transformations of Taishang Laojun; There are 59 Catholic rosaries, which are used to recite the Rosary; There are 33 prayer beads in Islam, and three turns are exactly 99, which are used to chant the ninety-nine names of "Allah Allah"; The number of Buddhist prayer beads ranges from 14 to 108, especially 108 of which represent the 108 deities of the Vajra realm and eliminate 108 kinds of afflictions. The rosary of the Fusheng Master is very long, it seems to be 108 pieces. The bright red mother beads of the ancient mahogany rosary glowed with a soft light, and Lan Yi took a closer look and found that it was actually one of the seven treasures of Buddhism.
Glazed glaze appeared in the Middle Earth during the Sui and Tang dynasties, and it was made of the by-product produced when the bronze was cast after refining and processing, also known as the five-color stone, which was much more precious than jade in the Great Zhou. It is difficult for the people to obtain, and until later generations, it was also a unique material for important buildings such as palaces, temples, and mausoleums.
Lan Yi's eyes followed the prayer beads of the Floating Master three times before he stopped. Still closed his eyes, and his voice was old and clear: "Why did the two donors come?" ”
Lan Yi twitched the corners of his mouth, didn't he ask knowingly, Zhou Weiji only came yesterday!
Zhou Weiji clasped his hands together and saluted very calmly, "The soul of the inner son is restless in the body, presiding over compassion, please take a look at the inner son." ”
Lan Yi was amused when she heard it. This kid will also chew the words.
The Floating Master slowly opened his eyes, and Lan Yi felt that the Floating Master was one step closer to the mummy, the eyelids. There's really only one layer of skin left! But his eyes are clear, still as water, no waves, this is a kind of return to the basics after years of washing. To have such a pair of eyes. The life of the Floating Master must be extraordinary.
Lan Yi calmly let him look at it, the floating master held the bead in his left hand, and saluted with his right hand, "This female benefactor's physical body and inner body are indeed incompatible, because of the knowledge of Alayya, the old man can't understand it, the cause and effect in the world are fixed, and the donor Zhou doesn't need to worry." ”
Lan Yi listened to him and said it in vain. asked directly: "Don't blame the host, according to your opinion." Is the little woman now the cause of cultivation or the effect of receiving? ”
When talking to such a mysterious person, it is better to be blunt and want to ask, otherwise the time will be wasted in the clouds.
Master Fusheng raised his eyes to look at Lan Yi again, and only after a moment did he say: "Female benefactor, the cause and effect of the third life corresponds, and it is difficult to distinguish between the truth. The donor Shentai is clear, and I have some fate with my Buddha. My Buddha is merciful, and the female benefactor comes here from a foreign realm, and the female donor should do more good deeds, not act recklessly, and not obsessive. ”
"The realm outside the square" made Lan Yi's heart tremble, and Zhengse asked, "Host, the little woman is indeed from outside the square." I don't know if there will be a day when the soul will return to the body in this life? ”
"According to the old man's view, the eight senses of the female benefactor have gradually settled in the body, and the heart is troubled, and it is difficult to get out."
Lan Yi finally understood, took out his forehead wiping his hands and handed them to the Fusheng Master, "Please take a look at it again, what is this bead?" When the little woman saw it, she felt still. ”
Master Fusheng finally put down the Buddha beads in his hand, took the forehead in his hand and looked at it for a while, and then chattered for a while before handing it over with both hands, "The female benefactor really has a deep Buddha relationship, and this peony bead is a small bead on the bead spike hanging by my Buddhist monk." This bead female benefactor wears it to calm the gods and drive away evil spirits, and it is harmless. ”
Lan Yi happily took it, clasped her hands and thanked Master Fusheng.
"There is cause and effect. Forming a good relationship can turn danger into a disaster, and the female donor should keep it in mind. ”
"I made a note of it, thanks for presiding." Lan Yi thanked him and felt that Master Fusheng had something to say, but she didn't ask much. Even if he asked, he wouldn't say anything, in short, he didn't have evil thoughts in his heart, he didn't do evil things, anyway, she wasn't the material to be a wicked person.
The Fusheng Master nodded slightly, his withered eyelids covering his eyes. Zhou Weiji and Lan Yi bowed and withdrew, and when they arrived at the door, they suddenly heard Master Fusheng say again: "Zhou is the general, protecting the country and the people, resisting insults and stopping violence, which is equivalent to subduing demons, and it is also fearless to all sentient beings, but all sentient beings have Buddha nature, and it is not appropriate to kill indiscriminately, otherwise sin is inevitable, and when the karma is ripe, it will be rewarded." ”
Zhou Wei was shocked, looked at Lan Yi, and clasped his hands together, "Thank you for hosting." ”
"Amitabha."
Zhou Weiji still supported Lan Yi and walked slowly in the snow.
Lan Yi was thinking about the last words that Master Fusheng said, he asked Zhou Wei to stop the violent demon subjugation and not to kill innocents indiscriminately. Zhou Weiji, as a soldier, is already heavy on his body, and it seems that he wants to ask for a peace charm for him.
"Brother Tuesday, let's go to the Buddha to ask for a peace charm, you can bring it."
"It's okay, you have to carry your forehead with you at all times."
Lan Yi nodded, "Do you understand what Master Fusheng said, he said that I am gradually at ease, and it is difficult to get out." ”
Zhou Weiji smiled and nodded, still faintly uneasy, "It's hard to come out, where do you want to go?" ”
Since learning about her life experience, Zhou Weiji prefers to call her "Yiyi", these two words are read out lightly by him, and there is always an inexplicable lingering feeling.
It's really rare that there are only two of them, "Second brother, let's go to the furniture store to have a look, how about it?" ”
Zhou Weiji drove her into the city, turned the main road and walked into a north-south market, lined with furniture and grocery stores, both old and new. There are many kinds of furniture here, such as beds, couches, tables, chairs, stools, pestles, long cases, tables, cabinets, mirror tables, Bogu shelves, screens, etc. Small items such as towel racks, hangers, basins, boxes, buckets, etc.
Da Zhou furniture is simple and square, simple decoration, rigorous workmanship, and the structure is gradually in line with the characteristics of ergonomics. In the future, in addition to the necessary wardrobes, low tables, kang cabinets, flower leg tables, open light round piers, chairs, high tables, long cases, etc., I only want to choose two bookshelves and desks, Yuer can now write on the kang table, and a special desk is needed if it is larger.
Zhou Weiji took her to see the beautiful mirror table and jewelry box, and asked her if she liked it. Lan Yi only mischievously said that when the house was built, she would choose the size herself.
Zhou Weiji listened, smiled and nodded. Lan Yi asked about the types of furniture wood in the store, ash, willow eucalyptus, poplar, elm, walnut, fir, beech, etc. are more common, and the color and wood grain of willow elm are more in line with the feeling she wants.
It was getting noon, Zhou Weiji took her into a famous vegetarian tea shop, and ordered white fish spicy soup, roasted bran with bad sauce, three fresh noodles and spicy noodles with bamboo shoots.
The two are together, and time flies.
"Brother Tuesday, since you're here, I'm going to visit Brother Su Yongshen, what do you think?"
Until now, Lan Yi has not seen Su Yongshen, and today is just right.
Zhou Wei thought about it for a while, but shook his head, "Big brother has been in bad health recently, and he can't get up from bed, so it's better to wait for him to be better and let's go." "Su Yongshen is the most important gift, Lan Yi goes to visit, he will definitely stand up strongly, but it is not good for his condition. Besides, he doesn't want others to see him sick and miserable, so it's better not to go.
Lan Yi nodded, and Zhou Weiji explained: "When the eldest brother is in better shape in the spring next year, let's visit again, the eldest brother had better dance and ink, you will definitely be able to talk." ”
"Well, listen to the second brother."
Zhou Weiji smiled and pulled her slowly into the crowd.
There were already a lot of pedestrians on the way back, Zhou Weiji pulled the reins and walked slowly, still chatting with Lan Yi through the curtain. The topic always revolves around another time and space, Zhou Wei is like a curious child, and he always has a lot of questions about the unknown. When he asked, Lan Yi told him little by little.
Zhou Weiji was very interested in the architecture of that time and space, and occasionally asked a lot of questions about the house, such as what materials the house was built of, what kind of structure, what kind of furniture it had, and what Lan Yi's previous home was like. Lan Yi didn't study architecture, and he didn't know much about it, and because there were many differences between the languages of the two time and space, and many proper nouns were difficult to explain, he could only explain them to him in the most simple and easy-to-understand words.
It may be that in the past few days, Lan Yi fell asleep at night, dreamed that she was back to school, wandering in the library, strolling in the garden, lying in the dormitory watching TV, and watching the creeper crawling all over the panes in a daze, it was still so real.
PS: Thank you for your votes and rewards, speaking of peace charms, a few more, and then stick them on your shoulders, which will definitely relieve pain and acidity, haha. (To be continued......)
