Chapter 84: Wasn't I out of politeness?
It turned out that after my master left home, he also came to Bandung Temple.
I was curious and wondered what he had said to Master Wunian.
But the habit I have developed all the year round makes it impossible for me to ask at all, so I have to tell Master Wunian about the recent events.
Master Wunian must have known about it a long time ago, but he still listened patiently to what I had to say.
I looked up at him, and after all these years, he still looked the same kind eyebrow, and he hadn't changed in the slightest.
"What your master didn't tell you, it must be for your good!"
I nodded, and replied a little dullly, "I know." ”
"He doesn't tell you, first, for your own good, and second, he just hopes that you can grow up quickly, and then you can really help him!"
I felt my heart skip a beat, my eyes moistened a little, and after taking a deep breath, I nodded, "I know!" ”
"That's it! Since you know in your heart, you must keep in mind your master's words in the future, if there is anything that can't be solved, come to Wanlong Temple to find me! ”
"Good!"
The mood of coming over today seems to be a little not very good, unlike before, when I entered the temple, I felt light.
At this moment, I only felt a heavy weight on my shoulders, as if Master's expectations had been carried by me.
I secretly decided that I must work hard and ......
Then what happened, I was at a loss, so I simply didn't think about it for now.
"Master Wunian, how happened to the bronze tripod that I sent last time?" I suddenly remembered it.
"In the Jizo King Bodhisattva Hall, you can take a look when you leave, and in a few days, it should be handed over to the Cultural Relics Bureau."
After talking to Master Wunian for a while, the time was not early, so I said goodbye to the fat man and left.
"I'll take you from the front!" I said to the fat man, "Just go and see the Ding you just mentioned, don't you keep saying that your eyesight is good?" Look at that when you get there! ”
"This is my strength, lead the way!" The fat man put his fingers together and pointed forward.
I laughed, and quickly followed him through the small door leading to the outer courtyard into the Bandung Temple.
The main hall here is dedicated to the Buddha, and the two sides are dedicated to the Jizo King Bodhisattva and Kannon Bodhisattva.
At this time, there were many fewer pilgrims, and on the side of King Jizo Bodhisattva, several pilgrims could be seen kneeling on the futon reverently and bowing.
The deacons and monks are monks from the outer court, and unlike the monks from the inner court, they are all graduates of the Buddhist college, and they practice here, which is considered to be a job, and they get paid.
But they also have to do things according to the rules of Buddhist disciples.
After seeing me, he greeted me very respectfully, "I've seen Senior Brother Jiang!" ”
"You're welcome!" I hurriedly returned the salute, "I'll come over from Master Wunian to see that ding!" ”
"Please come with me!" Without saying a word, he immediately led the way and led us in.
In the main hall, King Jizo Bodhisattva holds a Zen staff, lowers his eyes, and his face is full of compassion.
On the front offering table, the incense burner was full of offerings, and behind these things, the bronze tripod stood quietly.
The evil aura above drifted outward one by one, and slowly collapsed with the cigarette under the gaze of the Jizo King Bodhisattva.
The evil aura was already very weak, and sure enough, as Master Wunian said, it wouldn't take long to completely dispel it.
"Fatty?" I shouted back.
The fat man is gone!
As soon as I looked down, I saw him kneeling on the futon, kneeling reverently.
Me: "......"
The fat man got up, smiled at me, looked at the bronze tripod, and little stars immediately popped up in his little eyes.
"It's a pity that you can't get started! But judging from the appearance, it is a thing that has been around for thousands of years, and the Qin Dynasty is the Han Dynasty! Look at this texture, delicate with primitive roughness, good thing! ”
The fat man's words made the deacon monks next to him stunned, and they couldn't help but look at the bronze tripod twice.
I cleared my throat a little embarrassed, "It will take a while, and when the evil aura is all dispelled, I will definitely let you get started and see, and we will go back!" ”
In the awkward posture of the fat man twisting his head and staring at the bronze tripod, I pulled him away.
Out of the front door, we followed the flow of people out of the scenic area and took the subway not far away.
Because it is the terminus of this subway station, there are very few people.
When the car drove away, I couldn't help but ask him, "You are a Taoist priest, and you can understand worshipping Buddha, but you are also too pious!" Aren't you afraid that your master will jump out in the middle of the night and beat you? ”
"Wasn't that out of politeness?" The fat man grinned, "When I come to someone's house, I will worship my master, my master will not beat me!" ”
I shook my head speechlessly, I really couldn't talk about him.
In an industry like ours, we have a deep relationship with Taoism and Buddhism, so we can do disciple worship when we go to both families.
But the fat man is different, he is a Taoist disciple, but he performs Buddhist gifts.
That is, others don't know, if they do, they will definitely say that he is a fake Taoist priest, a little liar!
By the way, isn't he just a little liar?
The last time I fooled around with me, I haven't settled accounts with him yet!
"You said, you set up a stall to tell fortunes and divination, I don't think you really can't, why do you still use nonsense to deceive people?" I asked him in a low voice.
The fat man scratched his head, and he was a little embarrassed.
"Actually, I really didn't lie to you, I often listen to my master tell fortunes to people, I haven't learned it at all, and it's all boasting to say it's fur! Talking about deception? In fact, it's not a lie, to put it bluntly, this thing is like psychology, observe words and looks, and pick what people like to hear! I want to live and eat, okay? ”
I stopped asking because I remembered what he had said to my master.
After his master Wang Zhenren was feathered, his senior brothers didn't seem to treat him very well.
Life certainly isn't much better!
I haven't asked about his family, but the parental palace on his face is bleak, and he should have died a long time ago.
An orphan, the master passed away again, and the remaining senior brothers excluded him again, he must find a way to survive by himself.
It's no wonder that he has developed the temper of this eight-sided delicate and broken mouth.
"Don't sympathize with me!" The fat man may have seen what was in my eyes, "I'm fine!" Now I know you and Master Wu again, as well as Aunt Liu and Shi Dan! How can anyone else have such a blessing? ”
I laughed, "Good! In the future, my family will be your family, and you will be my brother! ”
Haven't you said that before? You haven't treated me as a brother until now, and you haven't ...... until now."
His voice was a little high, and when the subway arrived, it started to get people on again, so I quickly covered his mouth.
He glanced to the side, rolled his eyes at me, and turned his head away from me.
I think he's mad at me, but it's not like him!
Finally got off the train at the station, and we walked back from the station, and I bumped him on the shoulder, "Hey, angry?" Wouldn't be that stingy? ”
The fat man's shoulders shrugged, and I quickly picked his shoulders, "Are you crying?" ”
He's laughing!
"Get out!" I laughed angrily, pushed him, and walked briskly into the old street.
"Wait for me in a moment! Don't think you're great because you have two long legs! "The fat man chased after me.
By this moment, it was already dark, and I stopped suddenly, and the fat man hit me directly.
"My nose!" The fat man snorted sullenly, and when he saw that I didn't move, he followed my line of sight and looked ahead, "Meridian, are these things so rampant now?" ”
Just in front of us, a man hurried up to him, and a black aura wrapped around a woman with a white face, pale eyes, and a disheveled head, lying on his back.
