Chapter Ninety-Six: The Monk of Falin Temple
The puppets hanging on the eaves were missing that night.
I heard a voice.
The action is very light, take off the puppet, and leave immediately, without the slightest pause and hesitation.
After dawn, there was a crack in the talisman in the incense burner.
After the puppet was retrieved last night, someone immediately cast a spell to crack it.
It's a pity that the way is wrong, and it can't be cracked, and it also causes collateral damage to the object of the puppeteer's nightmare town.
I called Zhang Baoshan and asked if there was any progress in the matter of checking the hospital that had given him clues.
Zhang Baoshan obviously stayed up late again, yawning and said: "Those children were all born in Furen Hospital in Dao 2nd District, but that hospital was funded by Taiwanese businessmen, and there are no hard things, so it is not easy to check too closely, and there is no way to transfer their birth files. ”
For me, it was enough to know which hospital it was.
After hanging up the phone, I stayed at my accommodation all morning, as usual, and went out for a stroll in the afternoon.
Before going out, I found He Qiangbing and told him that I would go to Falin Temple to solve the problem of apprenticeship for him, and that he would not come back to live tonight, and let him come to my side to sleep at night and help me watch the house.
He Qiangbing happily agreed.
Falin Temple is not only a famous temple, but also a famous scenic spot, the incense is prosperous all year round, the tourists are weaving, and the shop business such as the temple take-out souvenirs, incense candles and Buddha beads is also particularly prosperous.
But it's only been four years since this flourished.
Originally, it was also a famous temple, but it was very dismal in terms of tourism.
Although Abbot Nobumasa is proficient in Buddhism, he is not very good at business, but he honestly propagates the Dharma and does Buddhist things.
Until four years ago, the marketing of Falin Temple suddenly became full of tricks, not only all kinds of legends and stories about Falin Temple spread everywhere, but also filmed a promotional film to broadcast on the TV station, and suddenly raised this Falin Temple to the same height as Shaolin Temple.
Not only that, the monks in the temple have also opened their minds, no longer only know the death of the scriptures, and begin to tell fortunes and interpret dreams.
In fact, the monk fortune-telling is not a proper business, but the common people eat this set, coupled with the rumors that there are always rumors such as the monk fortune-telling of the Falin Temple is particularly accurate, and the Bodhisattva is particularly effective, this tourist is more than one day a day, not only the ordinary people, all kinds of powerful and rich people have also come to the door.
For this reason, Falin Temple also learned from Shaolin Temple to set up a tourism company, and operated this Buddhist holy place as a business.
Coincidentally, now the two senior monks in the Falin Temple who are as famous as the abbot of Xinzheng, Daozheng and Fazheng, both came to the Falin Temple four years ago to place orders.
These things can be inquired about with the retired old man Kan Dashan on the street.
I first walked around the Falin Temple, and like other tourists, I put incense sticks in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
Here can only go to the temple to sell incense, said that the masters chanted the scriptures to open the light, on such incense Buddha likes, the outside incense has not been opened is not allowed to be on.
A stick of incense costs fifty dollars.
It's a good deal.
The temple was visited, and the incense was on, but neither the Tao nor the Fa Zheng saw it.
These two eminent monks now only receive important guests, and other ordinary pilgrims and tourists are received by their disciples.
I met with a disciple of Master Fazheng, deliberately with a sad face, and kept asking how my fortune was, even if the monk's business was not going well, I might be ruined in the near future.
After a while, I confirmed my inference, and I had the bottom in my heart, and I stopped talking to the monk, and praised a few words along with his words, saying that I had completely wanted to open it, and coaxed the monk to be happy, not only did not ask for fortune-telling money, but also gave me a string of hand beads.
Coming out of the Falin Temple, I walked around the commodity street below, walked around the shops one by one, talked to the clerks, bought some things, looked at a few hotels nearby, and finally found a place to stay.
In the evening, when the shops began to close, I changed my clothes, disguised my face, and came to the vicinity of a Buddhist shop called Bao Xiang.
This store is not large, with two floors, one to sell goods and the second floor to live. There are not many Buddhist products in the store, they are all big road goods, there are no characteristics at all, and the price is not cheaper than those big stores, so the business is very deserted.
The owner is a woman from other places, who has been running this shop here for four years, although the business is not good, but she has always insisted, only hiring a clerk to watch the shop during the day, and live here to watch the shop at night.
I didn't stay around for a long time when I saw the landlady come back with food and drinks.
The female boss is about thirty years old, very charming, wearing a wool skirt that highlights her figure, and her face is obviously painted with light makeup.
When she entered the store, she sent the clerk to close the store.
At this time, there are still a few tourists hanging out on the streets, and at least half of the shops are open.
I went around to the back of the shop and found a corner to crouch.
When it was completely dark, I saw a man sneaking up to the back door, pulling out the key to open the door and getting in.
I immediately climbed up to the second floor.
The curtains on the second floor have been closed, and they are tightly covered, and there is no light at all.
I hooked the eaves with my feet, hung upside down from the window, took out a wire, tucked it in along the crack in the window, pulled a small slit in the curtain, and peeked in.
There was a table in the center of the room, a table full of dishes, and the wine was already burned.
The landlady was sitting bored at the table fiddling with her nails.
There was a soft knock on the door, and the man had just pushed the door into the room.
The female boss showed surprise and pounced on her to give a long kiss first.
The two kissed so hard that they didn't separate for more than a minute, and their noses and eyes were snorting.
Seeing that kissing was not enough, he began to pull his clothes.
You pull me one piece, I pull you one piece, and it's passionate.
The landlady tore off the man's hat and threw it aside, revealing a shiny bald head, and the two rows of ring scars stood out in the light.
I tapped the window glass lightly.
The two immediately separated like frightened grasshoppers, and looked warily in the direction of the window.
The bald monk put his hand on his waist and asked in a low voice, "Who?" ”
I pushed open the window, lifted the curtains, and drilled in along the crack, my backhand was still tightly covered, and then I hugged my fist at the monk.
"A good deal in the palm of the hand, Xiao Sheng'er slapped him, and he turned his head full of the pot."
The monk squinted at me and slowly smiled.
"It's easy to say, it's just a bastard, since it's a sea brother, sit down and take a sip?"
The landlady stepped over to the table and pulled over a chair.
I stood in front of the window and didn't move, and said, "The floating water begs to borrow a bridge, it's not good to sip this companion mountain, let's open my mouth in the palm of my hand." ”
The monk still smiled, "It's not easy to build a big province, build a pot to eat a long meal, cross the stone bridge to see the meaning, and you can't walk on a single wooden pole." ”
As he spoke, his hand rested on his lower back and did not move.
