Chapter 44: The boy doesn't know Hongchen
Master has a mobile phone.
But after Xu Zhen called him, no one answered on the other side.
The two had to hurriedly go down the mountain by the same road, ran to the village committee of a nearby village to inquire, and then learned:
The temple has been collapsing for almost half a month.
Xu Zhen's master was not affected, he was very safe, and now he is placing an order in the Fayun Temple in the county seat.
Xu Zhen: "......"
Why don't you tell me about something so important?
Obviously, I will text you every day to report your safety!
On the way to the county seat, he sat weakly in the passenger seat, turning his head to look out the window.
When Qiao Feng saw him like this, he said with a match: "What do you call the respected teacher?" How old are you and your body is still strong? ”
Xu Zhen Muran said: "The family teacher's name is 'Clear', he is 67 years old, and his body is acceptable, but his legs and feet are not very dexterous, and he is a little rheumatoid. ”
Qiao Feng said: "Is there anyone else in the temple besides Master Zhiran?" ”
Xu Zhen shook his head and said, "No." When I was a child, there was an old abbot in the temple, who passed away a few years ago; ”
"The third uncle was still vulgar a few years ago;"
"Uncle Master is not in good health, and he was taken down the mountain by his layman daughter for treatment a while ago."
"It's just the two of us on the mountain now."
Saying that, Xu Zhen sighed and said, "When I left, I persuaded the master to go to Fayun Temple to place an order, but he didn't listen, now it's okay......"
Qiao Feng smiled and didn't say anything.
……
About an hour later, the two drove back to the county seat.
Because it was too late, Xu Zhen was too embarrassed to come to the door to disturb immediately.
The two made do with the hotel in the county seat for one night, and only went to visit Fayun Temple early the next morning.
Qiao Feng stood outside the temple and looked up, very emotional.
- Check it out!
The big temple is different from the small broken temple!
Backed by Cangshan, the vermilion wall is golden tile, there are dozens of white stone steps in front of the temple, and there are two majestic big stone lions standing in front of the door, which is full of momentum at a glance.
When the two of them entered the door, several yellow-robed monks were giving porridge at the door, and Qiao Feng happened to have no breakfast, so he took a bowl casually.
When Qiao Feng was sucking and drinking porridge, Xu Zhen had already found his master under the leadership of the monk Zhike: Monk Zhiran.
At this time, Ran was in the square behind the hall, leading a group of young monks to box.
On a cold day, the old man only wore a linen monk's robe, but his spirit was quite good, his face was full of red light, and his spirit was radiant.
Xu Zhen saw with his own eyes that his master was safe and sound, so he was relieved.
He saw that everyone was playing the Luohan boxing that he usually played, so he took off his coat and fought with him.
Ten minutes later, a set of punches was finished.
The monk saw his stupid apprentice, beckoned to him with a smile, and said, "Shouzhen, come here!" ”
Shouzhen is Xu Zhen's legal name.
Xu Zhen has not yet entered the ordination, and this name has no practical meaning, that is, it is just called on weekdays.
The monk led him to a nearby meditation room, and brought two futons familiarly, and the master and apprentice divided them into two sides.
"The beams and pillars of the main hall rotted from the foundation, and I didn't know when I was looking for someone to repair the roof for the teacher, and something almost happened."
He told the reason for the collapse of his temple in a flat tone, and said: "But fortunately, the safety measures of the construction team are good, and no one is injured, but the roof cannot be repaired for the time being." ”
Xu Zhen asked, "Is it because the money is not enough?" ”
He shook his head and said: "There is still money left, but reconstruction is not the same as repair, and it is very troublesome to have the relevant departments go through the procedures." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look around and said, "However, it doesn't matter if you build it or not, it's also good to be a teacher in Fayun Temple." ”
"In terms of seniority, the abbot here is your uncle and ancestor."
"As a teacher, practicing boxing and preaching here every day is no different from being in Yunke Temple. And ......"
Speaking of this, he smiled lightly and said, "For the sake of the teacher, you can also feel at ease by placing orders here." ”
Hearing this, Xu Zhen was slightly stunned.
"Master, I'm ......" he opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There is something I would like to ask you to explain." ”
After that, he told Master all the experiences he had in the past month.
Including the twin brother is actually an actor, and he was forced to act for him, and there was an agency that wanted to sign a contract with him, etc.
As proof, he also found the pilot film of "Night Rain Jianghu", clicked on it and showed it to Master.
The monk took the phone with great interest, clicked on it and read it, and couldn't help laughing: "Well, Shouzhen's recent kung fu has improved." ”
"You couldn't be so beautiful half a year ago when this harrier turned over, yes, it seems that you haven't been lazy."
Xu Zhen grinned when he heard Master's praise, very happy.
"Hmm...... Looks like you like acting? The monk looked at Xu Zhen's expression and said, "If you like to do it, just do it, what do you have to hesitate about?" ”
Xu Zhen hung his head and said, "However, I have always taken cultivation as a ......."
"Are you worried about being a teacher?" The monk interrupted.
Xu Zhen was stunned for a moment, bowed his head and said nothing.
"You don't need to worry about being a teacher, I'm doing well here." ”
"Let me ask you a question – why do you want to become a monk?"
Xu Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "The mountains are quiet, there is no dispute with the world, I like this kind of life very much." ”
He smiled and shook his head.
"As a teacher, I won't talk to you about Zen today, but I will talk to you about what happened before I became a monk."
As he spoke, he sat up straight, and said, "I have killed people for my teacher." ”
Xu Zhen raised his head suddenly.
Looking at his stunned gaze, he did not evade, and continued: "I used to be a middle school physical education teacher, and I had a fairly happy family. ”
"Until one day, I suddenly found out that my wife had another man outside, and my son was not mine."
"Originally, the two of us had already discussed the divorce. As a result, one day, I drank too much alcohol and accidentally walked back to my old home. ”
"I saw her come and open the door for me, and the man was sitting on the couch where I used to sit. I was dizzy, and in a fit of rage, I grabbed her and beat her up. ”
"That man saw that I was fierce, so he didn't dare to stop me, and ran away."
Speaking of this, Xiao Ran sighed and said, "I accidentally beat her to death and sentenced her to 15 years." ”
"By the time I came out, my parents had already passed away, and my other relatives avoided me."
"At that time, I felt that there was nothing in this world worth my nostalgia for."
"That's why I chose to become a monk."
As he spoke, he raised his head, stared into his apprentice's eyes, and said, "Young man, what are you worried about?" ”
After listening to this story, Xu Zhen was stunned.
He never knew that Master had such a past.
Master has always been a monk for as long as he can remember, and he has never thought about what kind of person Master was before he became a monk.
Seeing him hesitate, he smiled slightly: "Child, I raised you because of my Buddha's compassion, not to leave a successor to the temple." ”
"Now that you have grown up, I want you to go to the red world under the mountain for a while."
"Whether it's bruises all over your body, or it's full of radiance, you always have to see the world with your own eyes to decide whether you want to be the same as the teacher and keep this green lantern ancient Buddha."
"Joining the WTO is not a kind of cultivation."
