Chapter 39 Monks, not money
Lingyin Temple is also called Yunlin Temple, backed by the north peak, facing the Feilai Peak, far away from the world, but because of the fame, this thousand-year-old temple has not enjoyed the purity for a long time.
As the first of the five mountains of Zen Buddhism in the south of the Yangtze River, Lingyin Temple has a long history, has many well-known legends, and there is an endless stream of tourists who come here every day to worship the Buddha and incense.
Starting from the foot of the mountain, you can see many stalls along the road.
There are food stalls selling fried tofu, pancake rolls, green onions, and cat ears, as well as jewelry stalls selling Buddhist bead bracelets and necklaces.
As for the price, as for the stalls in this kind of scenic spot, the commodity prices are generally a little inflated.
However, there are actually a lot of high-quality and inexpensive restaurants in the Lingyin Temple Scenic Area, as long as you find the right place, it is not easy to be slaughtered.
After Zhang Chuyi came to the scenic spot, taking advantage of the large number of people, he disappeared in a flash.
I chatted with Ren Fei in the car just now, and found that this sister is not only beautiful, but also has a very sassy personality, and she must be able to get along very happily as buddies.
However, Xu Si specially reminded him before coming, so not long after getting off the car, Zhang Chuyi was separated from the other two in the vast sea of people.
After eating something at the stall, it was estimated that Xu Si and Ren Fei had already gone away, and Zhang Chuyi began to go up the mountain.
When you come to Lingyin Temple, you must go into the temple to worship, put incense on the Buddha, and by the way, you will also eliminate your karma for yourself.
The scenery on the way up the mountain is still very interesting for Zhang Chuyi, who rarely comes to this kind of scenic spot, especially the stalls where the rings win souvenirs.
Zhang Chuyi spent ten yuan to buy three circles, each of which hit the half-meter-high Guanyin wood carving in the last row.
However, the stall owner refused to give him a prize, nor was he willing to discount it, but gave him three more rings.
The stall owner's explanation is that the Buddha sculpture is not a prize, just an ornament, and the real reward after hitting it once is for you to set it again.
Isn't that an infinite nesting doll? Zhang Chuyi was so angry that he wanted to pick up the Buddha statue directly and run.
However, considering that he would have to go up the mountain later, it was inconvenient to carry such a big Buddha statue on his body, so he directly twisted the three rings in his hand into twists and left.
"Damn, these stalls are pits now!"
Zhang Chuyi, who was made of such a fuss, was a little depressed, and when he was about to reach the gate of Lingyin Temple, he was still scolding and scolding.
Compared with the lively foot of the mountain, after arriving near Lingyin Temple, it is finally much quieter.
The noise of tourists is gone, and the solemn Sanskrit sound from the temple can be faintly heard, which makes people feel a sense of relief.
"Donor."
A voice suddenly came from the side of the road, and Zhang Chuyi followed the prestige and saw an old Taoist priest wearing an indigo robe.
The old Taoist beard is white, the hand is an old cloth flag, and the book "fortune telling, iron mouth straight break" eight big characters.
On the stall in front of Lao Dao, there are a bunch of gadgets, and the prompt "don't buy, don't touch" is carved in stone next to the stall.
"The Taoist is a good business, and the stalls are all set up outside the Buddhist temple." Zhang Chuyi stepped forward and quipped.
"Walking the rivers and lakes, just eating with a mouthful of food." Lao Dao laughed, and was suddenly shocked after seeing Zhang Chuyi's appearance clearly: "Oh, the old Taoist benefactor's face is not like a mortal, the Yin Hall is full and ruddy, and he will be rich and noble in less than ten years!" ”
"Why wait ten years, can't it be tomorrow?" Zhang Chuyi put his hands in his pockets, thinking that Lao Tzu had been poor for so many years, and he would have to wait for another ten years, isn't this a curse on him?
"The heavenly opportunity cannot be revealed, the donor does not need to be anxious, and there will be something to gain when the time comes." Lao Dao said a bunch of unfathomable words, and then stretched out his hand.
"What?" Zhang Chuyi was puzzled.
Lao Dao's eyes glared: "There is a fee for poor Taoist divination, so does the donor want to repay the debt?" ”
Zhang Chuyi spread his hands: "I didn't let you tell the hexagram either!" ”
Lao Dao rubbed his hands and smiled: "Young people don't be so stingy, you need to know that there is a give-and-take, your current contribution is to pave the way for the future harvest, all of this is fate." ”
"How much?" Zhang Chuyi asked with a dark face.
"Amitabha." The old Taoist proclaimed the Buddha's name, and said with a smile: "The monks don't talk about money, they talk about fate, and they start hexagrams for five hundred fates at a time." ”
"Why don't you go and grab it!" Zhang Chuyi's face darkened.
Just when he was wondering whether to give this charlatan a punch, he saw a familiar figure walking by on the path.
"I'm in a bit of a hurry, I'll give you money when I'll come back later!" After speaking, Zhang Chuyi pulled his legs and ran.
"I've been waiting for that master, it's going to be interested!" Lao Dao shouted at the top of his voice.
But before he finished shouting, Zhang Chuyi was already gone.
In the woods, Zhang Chuyi bent on his waist and followed a pink-haired nun carrying a wooden bucket.
Of course, he didn't have any special fetishes, simply because he looked at this nun with some familiarity.
Although the nun was wearing a plain sea blue, her wide clothes could not hide her bewitching figure.
can wear simple monk's clothes so ecstatically, it is estimated that only Xia He can do it in the world.
However, Zhang Chuyi didn't see the face, so he was not sure, so he could only follow all the way to see if it was her.
If it's really Xia He, then what is she doing here? Why would you dress up as a nun?
This abnormal behavior filled Zhang Chuyi's heart with curiosity.
After following for about 100 meters, the nun came to a wooden house deep in the woods.
She poured the water from the barrel into a large vat, and scooped two more scoops out of it and into the basin.
Then soak the towel in a wooden basin and wring it out, and start washing your face.
When the nun turned her body halfway, Zhang Chuyi finally confirmed her identity.
It's Xia He!
Even if there is no powder, the charming peach blossom eyes are still thrillingly beautiful.
Due to the hot weather, after Xia He washed his face, he actually ripped off some of Haiqing's round neck, revealing a large piece of soft snow skin, wiping the sweat dripping on it.
"Damn, don't look at insolence." Zhang Chuyi really didn't expect Xia He to be so bold, so he quickly lowered his head with a weak heart.
But I didn't want to move too much, so I made a fuss.
"Who!" Xia He's expression was shocked, and he immediately shouted.
"it, how can you explain that?" Just when Zhang Chuyi was thinking about whether to cover his face, and then hurriedly ran away, Xia He had already held two balls of pink Zhenqi in his hands and rushed towards Zhang Chuyi.
I can't run anymore if I want to.
"Don't do it, it's me!" Zhang Chuyi jumped out of the bushes and shouted urgently.
Xia He just raised his pink fist to fight, and after seeing the person in front of him, a flash of brilliance flashed in his eyes: "It's actually you, why are you here?" ”
"I said I was passing by, do you believe me?" Zhang Chuyi scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Passing by?" Xia He clasped his hands on his chest, and his pink cherry red lips hooked a mocking smile.
