Chapter 17: Re-entering the Monastery
Liu Nan was speechless when she saw Chengliu, so she was silent; Cheng Liu didn't ask when he saw Liu Nan, so he didn't say anything. Even if both sides have been expecting the other to speak. In this way, the stalemate between knowledge and action was at the end of the dinner, Liu Nan left first, and Aunt Mei was ordered by Wei Daochang to send Cheng Liu out of Huang Tingguan.
After Liu Nan left, Cheng Liu remembered that Wei Daochang and Sister Xianlu didn't use fasting, so he asked, "Why didn't Wei Daochang and Sister Xianlu use fasting?" ”
Aunt Mei said: "Someone will send it." ”
Cheng Liu let out an "oh", thinking to himself, after all, he is the head of the house, and his entry and exit are naturally different from ordinary disciples.
Aunt Mei said again: "Don't go back to the mountain, it's dangerous." ”
Cheng Liudao: "What happened on the mountain, did you confess to you?" "There was no surprise at Nariyu, but I still wanted to make sure.
Aunt Mei said: "I was outside the Cloud Pavilion just now, and Xiao Nan came to me before he broke his fast. The master ordered me to wait outside the door, firstly, to prevent the partition wall from having ears, and secondly, to let me hear, and also to let me protect you. ”
Cheng Liudao: "I see. He wants to kill me, but you want to protect me, aren't you from the Zeng family? ”
Aunt Mei said: "I am a bodyguard, but not a lackey. I will not do unrighteousness. ”
Chengliu said helplessly: "You really don't look like a wrongdoer. ”
Aunt Mei said: "Zeng confessed to acting, always unscrupulous, you have to be careful." ”
Cheng Liudao: "What can I do?" Now no one believes it when they call the police. If I don't go to the mountains, where else can I go? ”
Aunt Mei said: "Go to the Zhusheng Temple and find the Eight-Fingered Buddha." I can send you over and live in the temple, and the old medicine will not dare to do anything to you. ”
Cheng Liudao: "Sister Xianlu also advised me not to live in the temple. ”
Aunt Mei said, "That's for her to let you stay and meet me." ”
Cheng Liu wondered, "Why didn't you let you in earlier?" So that I can go down the mountain with the Buddha. ”
Aunt Mei was stunned for a while, tears were condensed in her eyes again, she turned her face sideways, avoided Chengliu's gaze, sighed, and turned back and said, "The side gate of the Zhusheng Temple will be open until 9 o'clock at night for the laymen who stay overnight." She dodged the question of Seriyu.
Chengliu didn't have the habit of asking the same question, so he asked the mystery in his heart: "Why did Zeng confess to hunt deer?" ”
Aunt Mei said: "I didn't ask, but I heard that it was his photography hobby." ”
Cheng Liudao: "It must not be so simple. ”
"I can't control it, I don't want to take care of it, the sky is falling, and I will only take care of my own business."
"Sister Xianlu also raises deer, it's best not to go to the mountains, otherwise it will be dangerous."
"The deer, once dead, but was revived like you. You'd better take care of your own life first. ”
Cheng Liu smiled bitterly and said: "I came back from this deer's back, which means that my life was saved by this deer, and I know how to repay it." Speaking of deer, he thought of the legend from the past, could this deer of Sister Xianlu be the one who killed my people more than a hundred years ago? Every time it appears when I am in danger, will it come to protect me out of guilt, save me to atone for my sins? "Impossible." He whispered, because of that story, even he didn't believe it, he was rescued by Sister Xianlu, and the deer was just a tool.
Aunt Mei said: "Don't think about it, let's live in the temple in the future!" If he is homesick, call me, I am here, and he will not dare to act rashly. ”
Cheng Liudao: "Do I want to hide from him like this for the rest of my life?" ”
Aunt Mei said: "At least wait for him to leave Nanyue." I'll explain it to you, old man, but I can't tell him. ”
Cheng Liudao: "Why don't you tell him?" ”
Aunt Mei said: "If you put your irresolvable life-and-death antagonism on the stage, who do you think the old man will choose?" Moreover, you have no injuries on your body at all, how can the old man believe you, but will think that you are sowing discord. ”
Cheng Liudao: "That's right. That's all there is to it. ”
Aunt Mei said: "Let's take a step and see a step." ”
Cheng Liudao: "Why are you helping me? ”
Aunt Mei said: "The teacher's order is difficult to disobey. However, I will not help you deal with him, and he will not be able to hurt you from me. When you become strong in the future, you won't need me to protect you. ”
Cheng Liudao: "Thank you, Aunt Mei." ”
Aunt Mei smiled and said, "You are older than Xiao Nan, you don't need to be called aunt, call Sister Mei." Cheng Liu listened, and felt that his relationship with Aunt Mei had become closer, but he was unwilling to shrink this generational relationship, because this generational relationship made him so far away from Liu Nan. Cheng Liu's hesitation seemed to make Aunt Mei discover the hidden feelings in it, so she said again: "In front of Xiao Nan, you can call it the same as her." "Her actions are taking care of the feelings of two people.
Chengliu's eyes were full of gratitude, and he said, "Actually, you are not indifferent. Out of gratitude, he changed the title from "you" to "you", which was not only respect, but also to show that he was more willing to be in the first-level relationship of Aunt Mei, so that he and her were reasonable in Aunt Mei's heart.
At this time, Liu Nan walked over with a pile of information, a little shy, and a little pretended to be angry. She stuffed the information to Cheng Liu, and said: "This is a summary of the knowledge points I have compiled in this issue, you go back and study hard, the results are good, and the acting is realistic." She wanted to say, "You have to study hard, get good grades, and pretend to be my boyfriend at school to be a good match for me." "Aunt Mei is here, she didn't make it clear. But he didn't understand the girl's feelings, he also thought that she looked down on her grades, and she would lose face when she was with her poor grades. But he didn't care what she thought, she wanted him to learn, and he studied seriously, just as he was willing to do anything for him without expecting anything in return.
Aunt Mei smiled, Liu Nan's girlish thoughts, how could she not know? Chengliu nodded, and followed Aunt Mei into the car......
In the temple, the sound of insects also turns into a pleasant Zen sound, making the night under the maple forest ethereal. In the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the monks are doing evening classes, and the sound of Sanskrit songs combines the vastness of the nine heavens and clouds in the pious palms. Chengliu closed his eyes and listened quietly, as if all the boredom in the world was diluted by the Buddha's words, as if all the filth in the world was excluded from the Zen sound. No wonder the eight-fingered Buddha will escape into the empty door, the mystery behind him must have made him break his liver and intestines, otherwise how could it be so bitter that he must burn his fingers to relieve pain, and only here can make him temporarily let go of his mind and not do his thoughts.
"May I ask if it's Chengliu benefactor?" An old monk said together.
Cheng Liu returned a salute and said, "Hello master, it's exactly below." ”
The old monk said: "Please come with me, the abbot has instructed the old monk to arrange a bedroom for you." Cheng Liuxin thought to himself, it must have been Daochang Wei who told the abbot about my coming to the temple to spend the night.
Cheng Liudao: "Abbot? Is the eight-fingered Buddha the abbot of the treasure temple? ”
The old monk said: "No, it was arranged by the abbot entrusted by the Buddha." ”
Cheng Liudao: "That's for you." ”
The guest house in the temple was simple but not simple, and Chengliu was taken to a room not far from the patriarch's hall, and he had all the living utensils, but in comparison, it was much better than his own home. He thanked the old monk again and again, closed the door after separation, and soon fell asleep in the faint Sanskrit sound.
