Volume 1 Chapter 2 The Mysterious Old Monk
A month later.
On this day, Qi Yunyang got his first salary after graduation.
3800!
Less is less. After deducting the rent, water, electricity and telephone bills, there are still two or three thousand yuan left, deducting food expenses and cigarette money. Qi Yunyang silently calculated, halfway through the calculation, he still didn't count it after thinking about it. Let's talk about Zhao Daqiang for a meal first.
During the meal, Qi Yunyang, as usual, took Zhao Daqiang's mobile phone and prepared to investigate to see if this kid had found a woman without telling him, or had done something shady.
A text message came into view: this month's actual salary: ¥9799.5 yuan.
Qi Yunyang instantly blew up, very angry! Holding his mobile phone and questioning Zhao Daqiang:
"You can, I have three or four thousand yuan a month, and I pay for every meal. With such a high salary, can you bear it? That's how your brother goes? ”
When Zhao Daqiang heard this, he hurriedly snatched the mobile phone, his face was blue and white for a while, and he said helplessly:
"Okay, okay! I'll please, okay. ”
"It seems that he is quite reluctant, and he will not eat it! You will pay for this meal, and don't ask me to eat again in the future. Qi Yunyang said, slammed the chopsticks in his hand on the table, picked up the coat next to him and brushed it away, leaving Zhao Daqiang with a very helpless face.
Qi Yunyang is not a person who cares much about money, and in his impression, Zhao Daqiang is also a person who is not so calculating and can trust each other. Therefore, he has always regarded Zhao Daqiang as a close friend, and has never had any secret behavior.
Getting along with each other for four years in college is enough to see a person's essence and temperament. However, after graduating, it seems that everything has changed.
Qi Yunyang walked on the crowded streets, and suddenly found that he was deceived by Zhao Daqiang very badly. Although he only has a few thousand yuan a month, he firmly believes that Zhao Daqiang has always maintained a good relationship with him, just for his money!
Before he knew it, he had walked to the vicinity of Linchengshan Park, which was the only 5A-level scenic spot in the city.
Lincheng Mountain is known as "the first mountain of Yelang". Its mountain is secluded and dense, the lake water is clear, there is a temple on the mountain called Hongfu Temple, it is said that the Bodhisattva in the temple is very effective. Since ancient times, Lin Cheng Shan has been a famous tourist and pilgrimage holy place in Lin City. Moreover, the ticket price is very cheap, and the full ticket is only 5 yuan. There are often old people playing chess and writing in the square at the foot of the mountain. There are also thousands of macaques on the mountain, who have been getting along for many years and have become human. There are tourists teasing it every day.
Qi Yunyang also came to visit occasionally, and once when he was in college, he teased a macaque child with anger, showed his wildness, jumped on his back and bit it, and the redness and swelling disappeared for a few days, and he is still a laughing stock.
Half an hour ago, I brushed my sleeves away, but the chopsticks didn't move. It is the meal, people are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic. On the side of the street is a row of snack bars, Qi Yunyang has been to it many times, and one of them is very popular. In the past, if you came for a meal, you would have to queue up. But today, perhaps because of good luck, there are not many people. Qi Yunyang hurriedly walked in.
Guwang noodles are a traditional noodle dish that is very famous in Yelang Prefecture. Among the many snacks in Yelangzhou, it is known for its color, fragrance and taste. It has the flavor and taste of blood tenderness, crispy noodles, spicy aroma and fresh soup, as well as the characteristics of red but not spicy, oily but not greasy, crisp but not raw.
"Intestine" is the large intestine of the pig, and "Wang" is the pig's blood, supplemented by noodles, and the addition of the three complements each other. "Guwang" is a homonym for "Chang Wang", which means auspicious. It is sold in all snack streets in Lincheng City.
"Boss, a bowl of intestinal noodles, add intestines and wang without noodles!" Qi Yunyang picked a table and sat down while ordering.
"Yes, wait a little haha, you have to eat it right away. The boss spoke in a thick Lincheng accent and greeted him with a smile.
After a while, he put a bowl of intestinal noodles in front of Qi Yunyang.
Qi Yunyang smelled the fragrance, throbbed, and feasted, so uncomfortable.
Within a moment, the food in the bowl was wiped out, and he was about to leave, but he heard a few people at the next table say:
"Have you heard? Hongfu Temple on the mountain had a different phase last night, the temple was full of red light, this morning I drove up the mountain to deliver food to the temple, many macaques in the three layers and three layers outside the temple around the temple, chattering non-stop. ”
"I've also heard that one of the keepers who feeds the macaques is a relative of mine, and he said that it was because of the old master sitting in the temple. ”
Another picked up the conversation and retorted:
"Nonsense! It is clearly said that there was a master who preached last night, so the monkeys on the mountain gathered around the temple and did not walk. ”
......
The discussion of several people chattering has caused more and more people to participate, and they are talking nonsense, although the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother is reasonable, and there is no dispute, but one thing is common, there was a different phase in Hongfu Temple last night.
Qi Yunyang wants to scoff at ghosts and gods, and is a very pure atheist, but he likes to hunt for curiosities. He has also been to Hongfu Temple in Lincheng Mountain more than once, and he has reached the bottom of the mountain, and there is nothing else important. I immediately decided to take the cable car up for a tour.
Unexpectedly, he met a long-lost acquaintance at the gate of the park under the mountain--- Qian Wuming!
Since graduating, Qian Wuming seemed to have disappeared, he asked Zhao Daqiang, he said that he went back to his hometown, and helped his father manage the production in the small factory opened by his family.
"You stinky boy, you came to Lin Cheng and didn't tell me and Daqiang, what do you mean?" Qi Yunyang suddenly spoke, and rushed to Qian Wuming in a few big strides, and it was a chestnut burst at his head.
Qian Wuming's expression was slightly different, and then he returned to normal, and his right hand waved without a trace.
smiled at Qi Yunyang and said:
"I have a business trip! I was going to go to the two of you for a big drink after I was busy with the things I was doing, but who knew that I met you here?"
"What kind of business, what kind of business? What kind of bird business came to the park? Are you lying to me, you say!"
Qi Yunyang was unforgiving, holding Qian Wuming's neck and shaking around, he was taller than Qian Wuming, and he often "interrogated" Qian Wuming like this when he was in college.
Qian Wuming's head was shaken around by Qi Yunyang, his ears were dizzy, his head was big for a while, and he hurriedly explained:
"Brother Yang, Brother Yang, I was wrong. I really have something to do here. To tell you the truth, something happened to my factory recently, I heard that Lin Chengshan Hongfu Temple Bodhisattva miracle, my father asked me to make a special trip, burn incense to worship the Buddha, pray for peace. ”
"Really, your father still believes this?" Qi Yunyang was a little puzzled, but still let go of his hand.
"That's ...... Fake. Qian Wuming's eyes rolled slightly, and after speaking, he ran up the mountain.
"Fuck, you dare to lie to me!" Qi Yunyang reacted and was deceived. He scolded with a smile and ran up. Both of them have good physical fitness, and this run is half an hour.
Qi Yunyang originally planned to take the cable car, but after chasing Qian Wuming's ass for half an hour, he had unconsciously reached the halfway up the mountain, and on hundreds of steps, he could see Hongfu Temple.
At this time, Qian Wuming finally couldn't run, panting like a cow. Qi Yunyang also followed behind breathlessly, and scolded with a smile:
"Run, you run again. I'll kill you. ”
"Catch ...... Catch me...... Besides!" Qian Wuming climbed up breathlessly, and turned back to stimulate Qi Yunyang for two sentences.
In this way, another ten minutes passed. The two walked all the mountain paths, and suddenly opened up in front of them, and a large avenue appeared in front of them, and the avenue went forward a hundred meters, which was the Hongfu Temple where the incense flourished.
Sure enough, as a few people at the bottom of the mountain said, the macaques who usually like to grab snacks for tourists on the mountain road have not seen a single one today, all on the walls around Hongfu Temple, on books, and on the pavilions. Some squatted quietly, while others wandered around. In the past, there were many tourists, but today there are many less, only a few people are seen, and most of them are elderly people with white hair.
Seeing this scene, Qi Yunyang said to himself in confusion:
"Strange thing!"
"Well, it's a little weird. Qian Wuming also nodded in agreement.
"Shall we still enter?" Qi Yunyang hesitated a little, feeling that Hongfu Temple was strange.
"What are you afraid of, after climbing for so long, you naturally want to enter. Haven't you been bitten by the monkeys in Lin Chengshan? Don't be intimidated, just do it! It's a big deal, let's have a group fight with this group of monkeys on the mountain!" Qian Wuming laughed, and didn't forget to make fun of Qi Yunyang.
Qi Yunyang and Qian Wuming walked slowly towards Hongfu Temple, not daring to go too fast, for fear of attracting the attention of the monkey group, and there was really a human-monkey battle.
Fortunately, the monkey grandfathers are unusually quiet today, and they have completely lost the ferocity of grabbing tourists for snacks on the mountain roads in the past.
Buckle the door.
Burn incense.
Bow.
Qi Yunyang suddenly discovered that Qian Wuming was very good at Buddhism, behaved in a proper manner, and looked respectful.
After the ceremony. Qian Wuming said:
"Yunyang, you walk around the temple, I'll come when I go, let's go to eat fasting together. ”
Qi Yunyang nodded.
Just now, Qian Wuming had already explained his intention to Qi Yunyang. He was indeed entrusted by his father to come to Hongfu Temple in Lincheng Mountain, but the main purpose was not to pray for the Buddha, but to visit an elder in the temple, who was the old friend of Qian Wuming's grandfather. His grandfather had been dead for many years, but every year, Qian Wuming's father would ask him to visit the elder. It is said that it is because of the origin of the grandparents.
Qi Yunyang was no stranger to the temple and wandered around.
When walking to the wishing pond in the temple, there is an elderly monk with kind eyebrows and kind eyes standing by the pool, looking at the pool, as if he has an understanding. Sensing someone approaching, he raised his eyes.
After seeing Qi Yunyang, he subconsciously let out a surprised sound, and then smiled at Qi Yunyang.
Qi Yunyang was a little puzzled, bent down across the pool, and asked with a smile:
"What made the great monk feel funny. ”
"I can't say it, I can't say it! ”
The kind-eyed old monk smiled and waved his hand, left a nonsensical sentence, laughed and turned away.
Qi Yunyang was a little inexplicable, but he didn't care too much when he thought that cultivators always behaved differently from ordinary people, and besides, his nerves would be very selective, such as now. Immediately, he continued to wander around the temple.
