Chapter 159: A Visit to Puran Temple
Hou Lingshan said: "Nothing, you said it very vividly. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info sometimes people can't see themselves clearly, but others can see clearly. For example, I always call myself Hou Ye, but someone must call me a monkey. ”
Jiang Zhan and Guo Shichao were about to burst into laughter.
But Meng Yu didn't laugh, he thought about it, it seems that everyone's understanding of himself is indeed clearer and deeper than himself, and he is really a bystander. "Am I a weird person in everyone's eyes?" he asked himself. In fact, although Meng Yu is not very high-profile and loves to be in the limelight, he still hopes to leave a good impression on others as wise, open-minded, cheerful, easy-going and lacking in personality. However, now it seems that other people's impression of themselves is not like this, and he is still a very jealous person.
When have you ever been jealous? It's none other than Sister Jiang. However, he is twenty-two years old, and he has never really had contact with a woman before, nor has he liked any woman, and Sister Jiang is the first. I only have such a crush on someone, what's wrong with caring about some?
Seeing that Meng Yu was dull and didn't know what to think, everyone consciously stopped talking to him, but talked about northern Jiangsu. Guo Shichao said: "My family has been in northern Jiangsu for generations, and I am the sixth generation. After the emperor ascended the throne, he had to purge the remnants of the emperor, especially those who had collusion with Northern Yan. Several of the former emperor's brothers, who are the uncles of the current emperor, were re-crowned. Therefore, the most powerful person in northern Jiangsu now is the emperor's third uncle, King Ning. The path we are now taking is his sphere of influence. ”
Hou Lingshan said very proudly: "What is King Ning? Last time, there was a big employer who asked me to go to King Ning's Mansion to steal the inlaid dragon and phoenix cup given by the emperor, and I still went in and stole it." Those royal family members are still chasing after me, so I kicked them down with a shadowless foot, and the dragon and phoenix cup in my arms is still stable. I turned out a somersault and found an employer to deal with. ”
Jiang Zhan smiled and said, "It turns out that this is how Master Hou accumulates wealth and gifts?"
Hou Lingshan pointed at Jiang Zhan: "Boy, I found that you are the most wilted, just looking honest." ”
Guo Shichao saw that Meng Yu seemed to be deep in thought again. In fact, the earliest time they dealt with each other was when the two of them went shopping together, and Guo Shichao was used to it. He was thinking that Meng Yu was probably always thinking about the case, which was focus for friends who knew him, and boring for those who didn't know him.
The Puran Temple is really majestic and majestic, and the scale is very large. Several times before and after entering the yard, the big tree in the main courtyard shades the sky and the sun, and the trunk of the tree has to be hugged by two people, but the leaves have turned dark green, and they begin to fall gradually with the autumn wind. Guo Chong did not believe in Buddhism before, and had no relationship with Puran Temple, at most the ladies and ladies came to the temple to offer incense, and gave more alms to the temple every year. It wasn't until Guo Chong contracted gout and suddenly felt that life was impermanent, so he often came to the temple and became good friends with Master Qingxin, so he often helped the temple to reshape the golden body of the Buddha statue, repair the temple, and rebuild the scripture building It took a lot of money. Later, when he was bedridden for a long time, Guo Chong often came to the temple to breathe.
Hearing that Guo Chong was coming, Master Qingxin personally came out to greet him, Guo Chong got out of the sedan chair and changed to a pair of sliders, he did not tell Master Qingxin Meng Yu their true identity, but only said that this was his distant relatives and friends. After Master Qingxin greeted them, he asked his disciples and Guo Shichao to accompany them around the temple, learn about the temple first, and listen to the lectures next time. And Guo Chong went straight to the abbot's room to listen to Master Qingxin's lecture.
It was the time of the afternoon, the autumn was high and crisp, and it was quite pleasant to walk around, but the temple was large, but quiet and remote. The monks who came and went were all doing their own thing, and no one made a loud noise. Presumably, when the evening drum and morning bell are in the morning, there is more solemnity and ethereal spirit of the land of Buddhism. Guo Shichao accompanied a few people to walk around and listen to the explanation of the disciples with clear hearts, and after walking a few times into the courtyard, it has been more than an hour since they entered the hall to worship the Buddha, and everyone's stomachs are growling. The disciple took them to the place where they were eating, and Guo Chong was already waiting for them. Seeing a few people coming in, Master Qingxin greeted everyone again and went out with his disciples.
Sure enough, it is the rice of the famous temple, today the temple specially arranged a whole table of vegetarian seats, all of which are monkey head gluten, tofu radish, mountain mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots, etc., but the cooking is very delicious, and the soup and pastry are also delicious. Everyone was hungry, and in the blink of an eye, Guo Chong was very happy to see everyone eating well.
With Bi Su Zhai, Master Qingxin personally sent it, and asked his disciples to give Guo Chong a special medicine for gout made by the temple, and specially advised: "Master Guo must take it on time." Then he asked his disciple to present two volumes of Buddhist scriptures written by the disciples of Puran Temple in person, and Guo Shichao hurriedly went forward to take them on behalf of his father.
After resigning from Master Qingxin, he left the monastery and went on the way home, and when he was halfway there, Guo Zhengran stuck his head out of the sedan chair: "A few young people!
Hou Lingshan laughed: "Oh mom, why does this vegetarian meal feel so sacred? ”
Guo Chong smiled at Hou Ling: "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground." Hou Ye is a wise person, fortunately, you don't kill indiscriminately on weekdays. Your mind is at peace. ”
Hou Lingshan was taken aback and blinked: "Ah, Master Guo, why do you speak differently than before? Monkeys have a clear conscience most of the time, but sometimes they are still greedy for a little money, but they must take it in the right way." ”
Guo Chong nodded and praised: "It's not easy anymore. Walking the rivers and lakes, if you can do something like Hou Ye, you are also a righteous and upright person. ”
Hou Lingshan scratched his scalp: "The owner of the village praises the monkey so much, why is the monkey so uncomfortable?"
Jiang Zhan smiled and said, "I usually get abused too much." ”
Hou Lingshan rolled his eyes at Jiang Zhan: "Go!" I found that your kid seems to be planning to get along with Hou Ye. ”
Jiang Zhan couldn't help but laugh.
Only Guo Shichao noticed that Meng Yu barely said anything.
Returning to the villa, everyone washed up briefly, and then came to the main hall. The hall was brightly lit, the large tables had been set up, and the barbecue grill had been set up. A cook-like man is roasting a fat sheep, and the aroma is far away. There were several jars of wine on a long hardwood table next to it.
Guo Chong was already sitting on the master's seat, and said with a smile: "It's inconvenient to stand up, so I'll say hello to everyone here." ”
Guo Wei also smiled and said: "Several virtuous nephews are distinguished guests, the first day you come to Shuangfeng Villa, you must get drunk and rest!"
Guo Shichao had already picked up the carved silver bowl, picked up a jar of wine, and poured wine for everyone. As soon as the crisp and pure wine was poured out of the jar, a strong aroma emanated, mixed with the aroma of roast fat sheep on the shelf, which was almost mouth-watering. (To be continued.) )
