Chapter Forty-Eight: Re-entering the Buddha's Gate
A shiny round head was the first to stick out from the crack in the open door, as if it was running in a hurry, his chest heaving violently and panting, and his little face was red. At this time, he only cared about opening the door, and he didn't even have time to put down his sleeves.
Feng Yin wanted to laugh when he saw that round head, it was so round, and it was really clear.
As soon as Kiyoshi looked up, he smiled when he glanced at them. first saluted Wu Jifeng, then raised his head to look at Xiang Fengyin, and smiled affectionately. Before the two could say a word, the voice of the wordless master rushed out of the door, "The Buddha Gate is pure, how dare you be so presumptuous!"
Wu Jifeng looked at the faceless face of the Wordless Master and laughed, put his hands behind his back and began to talk about crooked reasoning, "I guess that the Buddha should also go back to Lingshan today to prepare for the New Year, and no matter how presumptuous I am, the old man can't know!" After that, he looked at Yiqing who was standing beside the Wordless Master and said with a smile, "Unless you sue!"
Master Speechless touched his round head and shook his head, and when he looked at Wu Jifeng again, all four of them laughed.
"No one is as good as you if you are unreasonable. ”
Master Wu Yan turned around and walked towards the temple, Wu Jifeng didn't see outside, he picked up the wind and followed inside.
"When is this, I'm not in the house to prepare for the New Year, what are you doing in my barren mountain and wild temple?" ”
As soon as Feng Yin heard this, he understood, this time he really didn't come over invited by the master, and the uncle's words were used to deceive his mother-in-law.
Wu Jifeng looked around at the empty temple, took out a bag of silver from his arms and handed it to Yiqing beside him, sighing and said, "There are not many pilgrims, and you still close the courtyard door, do you want to leave this Longyan Temple to me alone?"
Master Wuyan said in a calm tone, and replied, "This is about to be the New Year, although the three of us master and apprentice are monks, we also have to clean up the yard and have a good reunion dinner, no, if we don't close the door, how can we clean up carefully." ”
Wu Jifeng didn't give up, "Close the door, who gives the incense money, how can you eat the reunion dinner without the incense money?"
The Wordless Master chuckled, looked back at him, and said, "Didn't you already send it?" ”
Wu Jifeng shook his head helplessly slightly, and followed the wordless master into the door.
Feng Yin put down the stove, took off his cloak, and after putting it away, he folded his hands and bowed respectfully to Master Wuyan.
Master Wuyan had already sat down at this time, and he didn't get up to return the salute, but said to Wu Jifeng with a smile, "The girl always can't forget the etiquette, if you have half of the girl's courtesy, my temple can also be clean." ”
Wu Jifeng smiled a little scoundrelly, and said with a straight face, "People say that those who are close to ink are black, I used to have the word "Ya", I'm afraid that I have known you for too long, and I learned these bad things from you, I didn't look for you, but you provoked me not to come."
It happened that Yiqing entered the house with the freshly brewed tea, and said with a smile while pouring tea for Wu Jifeng, "The second master has wronged the master for this, and people still say that Zhu Zhechi is near, you and Fengyin are still uncles and nephews, why haven't you been contaminated with her polite temperament?"
Master Wuyan laughed out loud, and teased Wu Jifeng, who was silent on tea: "Where can he learn that, as long as the girl is not spoiled by him, I will thank the Buddha for his blessing." ”
Feng Yin took a sip of the tea handed by Yiqing, his body warmed up, and his whole heart warmed up.
This temple, these people, this warm feeling, it's so good.
Feng Yin looked around, there was no Yijing in or outside the house, and he couldn't help but be a little curious, put down the teacup and looked at Yiqing, and asked softly, "Where did Yijing go?"
Wu Jifeng looked around when he heard this, but he didn't find Yijing's figure, so he looked at Yiqing together.
Yiqing's face instantly became bitter, and he drank a few sips of tea before he replied: "Yijing is cleaning in the main hall!", he raised his sleeves and said, "Before you came, we and Master have been cleaning, inside and outside the hall, inside and outside the courtyard, the ashes that have accumulated for a year must be cleaned up today, we have been getting up and cleaning since the beginning of the day, and we have not finished it until now, and we don't know when we will do it!"
As soon as Feng Yin heard this, his eyes flashed and he leaned forward, and said, "Then I can also help, and I have nothing to do." "A clear and unruly temperament is about to catch up with Wen Shuo, and there is always fun by his side, which is better than watching these two adults fight in the house.
Ichikiyo looked at the master and asked for his approval. He himself has absolutely no opinion, and he takes Feng Yin to clean up together, just so that the three of them can talk well, but Feng Yin is a guest after all, and it doesn't seem to make such a sense to let the guests suffer, so he didn't dare to agree for a while, and he still had to find the master's nod.
Master Wuyan took a sip of tea, glanced at Feng Yin's eager little face, and said, "Since the girl likes it, then take her with you, just let the teacher rest for a while." As he spoke, he put down the cup and thumped his legs, and said with a smile, "In the end, I am old, and I have started to have backache and leg pain after a while." ”
As soon as Qing got the approval, his face jumped with excitement, and he immediately stood up and said, "Then we will go now, Master, you can rest well, and leave it to us at ease!" After saying that, he gave Feng Yin a look, and Feng Yin immediately understood, stood up and ran out of the house with Yi Qing.
The two of them left the house, and Yiqing's voice came into the house through the door panel, "You have to remember, if you touch a spider web when cleaning, don't touch it, the Buddha door can't kill, even a spider can't do it......"
Wu Jifeng looked at the direction where the two of them were going and showed a relieved smile, if only this child could be so happy all the time.
The wordless master picked up the teacup again, lowered his head and took a sip of tea and tasted it, which was slightly fragrant and slightly bitter, just like the taste of life.
After a long silence, Master Wuyan put down the teacup, turned his head to look at Wu Jifeng, and said leisurely, "It is said that nothing will go to the Three Treasures Palace, you came today, but what is the important thing to discuss with me?"
Wu Jifeng took his gaze back, his smile faded, his eyes lowered, and he was speechless for a long time.
The Silent Master didn't ask questions, just watched him quietly, waiting for his answer.
The silent air flowed in the room, and Wu Jifeng did not speak.
The Silent Master realized the seriousness of the matter while waiting, and his expression became solemn. This time, I'm afraid it's really difficult.
After another half a while, Wu Jifeng let out a long breath, looked at the wordless master, and said in a deep voice: "Feng Yin, she ...... I'm afraid I know something. ”
The Silent Master was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes with a heavy face, and read, "What should come will come." ”
After a long sigh, he looked at Wu Jifeng, his face became serious, "She, what do you know?" After a slight pause, a light of pity flashed in his eyes, and he opened his mouth hesitantly, "Including, Jiu Lieli's death?"
Wu Jifeng lowered his head again, his eyes were scattered, and his fingers unconsciously scrubbed his cyan robe, "I don't know what step she learned, but ......"
"But what?"
Wu Jifeng looked out of the door, his face turned pale, "I saw that she secretly poured the medicine under the banyan tree." ”
Master Speechless was a little surprised, but that's all?
Looking at the appearance of the two of them, if Jifeng didn't say anything, he didn't notice anything abnormal at all.
It would be a bit far-fetched to say that she knew something just because the girl secretly poured out the medicine. After all, the medicine is hard to drink, it's not a good thing, and it's not incomprehensible that children can't bear to play some tricks.
Besides, today's girl has been too normal since she entered the door, whether it is her words and deeds or her expression, if she knows those old things but is still so calm, I am afraid that she will not be able to do it. After all, this child is not yet at the age where everything can be taken into account.
But after taking another look at Wu Jifeng's expression, Master Wuyan's face sank again.
If you really talk about it, you don't know as much about that girl as you know about it. If he detected any clues from the day-to-night relationship, it would be much more credible than his own guesses. I remembered the way he wanted to speak and stopped just now, as if there was something he didn't want to mention for a while, but I was afraid that that was the most critical part.
"As the saying goes, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, now that she already knows, no matter how much you regret and distress, it is useless, and carefully plan for the future is the right way. ”
"Yes," Wu Jifeng smiled bitterly, "That's the only thing I can do." ”
"You brought her here so that I could take her pulse. ”
Wu Jifeng raised his head, his face looked extremely tired, "I don't know when she started not drinking her medicine, but we don't know about that medicine after all, so I stopped it rashly, I'm afraid...... There will be something bad. Besides," he frowned, taking a deep breath before adding, "Look at what else has changed in her body, I'm afraid it's ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Master Wuyan had already understood, "What do you mean, are you afraid that what she has eaten will break the medicinal properties of the 'Heart Washing Water'?"
Wu Jifeng nodded slightly, lowered his face and did not speak again.
Master Wuyan sighed and said, "She was still young, she was not the age when she could remember everything, plus she was physically and mentally traumatized, and she drank 'heart washing water', so she forgot everything." Although the water washes away the past and there is no solution for life, after all, there is no absolute. ”
Wu Jifeng's heart skipped a beat and looked at him.
"In that case, I'll take a good look. ”
Wu Jifeng stopped talking, let out a long sigh of relief, closed his eyes and leaned back, and the whole person fell on the chair.
Wordless shook his head at his decadent image, took a sip of the teacup again, and said, "It's rare to see you like this, I really should let the three children come to see it." ”
Wu Jifeng didn't move, just closed his eyes and smiled.
"You have to be ready", the wordless master gently plucked the tea leaves floating on the water with the lid, and continued, "Things are easy to do in the present, but difficult things to do in the future!"
