Chapter 51 Guanghua
“Little monk, where is your master?”
“What can you do?”
“Little monk, we are here to help, you are obviously They are people who don’t know how to repair courtyard walls.”
Three strong men stepped forward and kicked a courtyard wall. The originally good courtyard wall suddenly collapsed.
The three middle-aged men were stunned. They lowered their heads and looked at their legs. Someone immediately shouted: "Which one of you tried your best to suck the milk?" Try harder."
"Stop arguing, this courtyard wall is not good to begin with. If the three of you kick it together, it will naturally collapse."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at it. Looking at the remaining two courtyard walls, I feel that they may not be able to be saved.
Sure enough, the people who came with them all walked towards the two courtyard walls, and then the two courtyard walls were covered as they wished.
When Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng came over, they saw such a scene and sighed: "It is indeed the Shoushan Temple that retains people."
The old man stepped forward to discuss with Master Decheng: "Great monk, you guys Before we came here, the smell in this area was so strong that we didn't dare to go near this place.
Yesterday, we felt that there was no more smell in this area, so I took the courage to come here. Since you want to. Repair the courtyard wall, let’s come over and work together.”
The old man looked at the excavated foundation, stretched out his hand and nodded: “The foundation is a little shallow, and we have more people, so we can dig deeper and repair the courtyard wall. Make it stronger.”
“Donor, what you said makes sense. I need more advice on how to build the courtyard wall.
It's just that we don't have much income from alms, so we can only build one courtyard wall first, and then build the other three walls later. "
The old man didn't say anything. He only asked the people who came with him to dig the foundation quickly. He said to Master Decheng: "Let's repair it first and then talk about the future."
If we help repair the wall of Shoushan Temple, can you stay in the temple for a little longer? "
Master Decheng sighed and said: "Donor, don't worry, as long as Shoushan Temple is repaired, the big temple near you will arrange for someone to take care of it, and maybe send a highly respected monk to be the abbot. ”
The old man did not force Master Decheng, but praised Master Decheng for his magnanimity, and he will become famous all over the world in the future.
Master Shanzheng and his two children followed the crowd to dig the foundation. Everyone quickly became close to the three of them, thinking that they were great monks who devoted themselves to Buddha.
Master Shanzheng looked dull as he listened to everyone's discussion. Shi Xiaoliu occasionally replied with a sentence or two, which was about going up and down the mountain.
After Shi Xiaoliu said that he and his master would treat people with minor illnesses on the road, Shi Zelan didn't need to speak at all.
It was getting dark, and before the old man left with a group of people, he invited four people from Decheng Zhenren to visit his home.
Master Decheng declined the old man's kindness, saying that he was used to this kind of life.
The old man turned around and left. Master Decheng lit a fire and set the firewood high. The four of them sat beside the firewood, listening to the sound of the firewood burning.
"Xiaoliu, Lan'er, do you think all the people here today are good people?"
Zhenren Decheng suddenly asked Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan.
"Master, I think they are just a group of brave people."
After Shi Xiaoliu finished speaking, he turned to look at Shi Zelan, and she immediately answered: "They came here specifically to test what we are. People.”
Master Decheng looked at Master Shanzheng: "What do you think?"
"Let's see if they come tomorrow. I'll go for a walk at the foot of the mountain."
Master Shanzheng left after saying that, De Makoto looked at his figure and thought deeply.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan took out the dry food and started eating at the same time. They exchanged little glances while eating.
After Master Shanzheng came back, he said to Master Decheng: "Tomorrow I will go with Lan'er for a walk around the area." Master Decheng nodded: "The four of us are going to separate two people to beg for alms."
Master Shan Zheng glanced at him: "If this situation continues and no one comes, we probably won't be able to leave for a while.
Those who are destined will not come so early, but those who are not destined can come early. Come.
Let’s go and see if we can find the great monk who preaches here.”
After Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan fell asleep, Master Decheng looked at Master Shanzheng. Sighing: "I haven't left the sect for many years, and I have made many mistakes.
You have just returned to the sect not long ago, why didn't you remind me? "
Zhenzheng Shanzheng looked at him: "I have never stayed here before, and fifty years have passed since the turmoil. I thought this place was stable. "
"If it were really stable, Shoushan Temple would not be in such an absurd situation. "
"Senior brother, I think the situation at Shoushan Temple is probably the result of intentional actions. "
"It's up to them to make a fuss. If they dig out the money buried in the ground, that's their chance, and the local officials will handle it. ”
"The old man must have heard something. Now they are talking about building the wall together. Later, they may cause trouble in the temple lobby."
"Let it go, we can't control too much."< br>
On the second day, it was dark, and Shi Zelan set off with Shan Zheng.
"Master, are we leaving so early?"
"Leave early, otherwise you will meet people who are here to do things."
Shi Zelan happily followed Master Shan Zheng. Although she still walked around with her bald head, she had left the temple after all.
“Master, let’s go to the market.”
Master Shan Zheng looked at her little bald head and said with a smile: “If you don’t go today, we will go to the market in the next town tomorrow.”
“Master, where are we going?”
“Guanghua Temple in Zhangjia Town is very famous.”
"Oh." Shi Zelan looked indifferent.
Master Shanzheng looked at her, shook his head and chuckled: "Famous mountains and temples are very attractive to scholars in the secular world."
"Master, a little girl like me has no chance in the secular world. Reading."
Zhenzheng Shanzheng and Shi Zelan walked and walked until they saw the intersection at the foot of Guanghua Temple at noon.
The young monk welcoming the guests was about to turn around and enter the temple. When he saw Master Shanzheng and Shi Zelan, he immediately saluted: "Two masters, please."
Master Shanzheng and Shi Zelan returned the gift. Master Shanzheng smiled and said to the young monk: "Little Master, our masters and disciples have traveled far and wide. After coming here, we heard about the solemn reputation of Guanghua Temple, so we came here to pay homage."
The young monk was probably used to hearing such compliments, and he said calmly: "Two masters, please, it is dinner time, and the two masters need to go to the back hall to use vegetarian food."
Shan Zheng lowered his head and saw the excitement in Shi Zelan's eyes, nodded and said: "Yes."
The two of them went to worship the Buddha first and offered two pieces of silver for incense.
After seeing them, the young monk's attitude towards them improved a bit. When he called them to the back hall, he said: "Brother Mingxin cooked the vegetarian meal today. If we go late, we may not be able to share it."
Master Shanzheng and Shi Zelan followed the young monk and accelerated their pace. When the three of them arrived, they saw that the back hall was full of people.
