Chapter 373
The sixth day of June is a day that seems to be taken seriously by both the Buddhist family and the Daoist family.The two of them didn't quite understand, anyway, that's how He Cheng arranged it, so the two of them flew to the next province, a small town that wasn't considered remote, and a small temple in the mountains.
I heard that it was not a wild temple, but that the tourism industry in the nearby cities has risen in the past few years. The pilgrims and offerings have gone to the nearby temples, but the tourism industry in their city has not started, and they are guarding the landscape. I don't know how to promote and operate. In the end, even the appearance of the temple is not as good as others. Fortunately, this winding path leads to a secluded place, only because it is in the deep mountains.
However, this temple also does not accept monetary donations. Even if you want to donate incense money, you can only take items. In addition, you can’t donate too much, and it has to be related to your assets.
But He Zuo and the others didn't have to think too much. They immediately selected a ton of Northeast high-quality rice and sent it directly to the temple. Although they didn't ask anything, their sincerity came first.
Most of the people here still eat rice, which is different from the staple food in temples like Shaolin Temple, where steamed buns are mostly eaten. When they can eat rice, most of them eat rice. In addition, they don’t get cold or snow in winter, so Vegetables are grown by myself all year round, self-sufficiency is enough, and there are state allocations to buy food, salt and seasonings.
So even if there are not many pilgrims, it is enough to live on. There are only twenty or thirty people in the whole temple here. It can be said that the scale is very small, but the abbot is an old monk in his 70s, dressed in gray When I saw them, I gave them a deep bow, and I came here specially to thank the gift of the ton of rice.
Teng Shuyue didn't dare to accept the gift, and turned his body to split open. He Zuo was able to hide in time, and he quickly explained: "It's just a little effort for me. After all, we really have something to ask the Buddha."
When he asked about this professional knowledge, even though He Zuo felt a little disapproving, the old monk was also happy. After all, when it comes to this point, no one has the right to speak. The handwriting of tons of rice, but it is not free, and they must be well dismissed.
He Zuo and Teng Shuyue also parked their cars at the bottom of the mountain when they came here, and climbed up step by step by themselves. Afterwards, they found that the commercialization here is really not serious, and there is no commercialization. Fortunately, it is true It's a bit like an ancient temple in the mountains, but I just don't know how the Taoism is doing, and whether it can solve the doubts in her heart.
With this in mind, the two of them followed the abbot to the dining room for guests at the back. I heard that this temple has a history of 400 years, and it can be traced back to the end of the Ming Dynasty at the earliest. The sparsely populated here escaped a catastrophe, and then gradually declined in the past few years.
However, this temple does look a little old. Whether it is bluestone brick wall tiles or bluestone slabs, you can see the mottled traces of the years, as if many years have passed.
The furnishings in the room are also very old, but the futons seem to be new. The old abbot smiled when he noticed their gaze, "It used to be made of bamboo strips, but now no one knows it. These are also a The layman sent them, she herself believes in Buddhism, has no children and no worries in her life, and she was thinking about our place, so she asked someone to order some and sent them over."
"Master, there are actually some questions we want to ask when we come here this time." He Zuo didn't look around any more, but simply stated their reason for coming.
"The benefactor is straightforward." The abbot is also an individual, and he was already prepared in his heart: "The mundane world can't bother you more than two or three times. Nowadays, most of the people are for the four words of love and money. I have seen a lot of them, so It also has some experience."
"Master was joking." He Zuo couldn't help laughing when he heard what he said so frankly.
"We can't be exempt." Teng Shuyue said by himself: "To tell the truth, Master, we came here for a matter of marriage. A few days ago, a doctor I knew told me that my fate is peculiar. It can't be said that the marriage in this life is very shallow, I'm afraid I won't find someone who can be with me."
"The benefactor opens his eyes and takes a good look. Isn't the person next to him already a destined person?" The old host's beard is white, the top of his bald head is not so smooth, and there are even wrinkles on his face, but she just feels that this old monk Maybe it wasn't to lie to her, and she was willing to listen to what he had to say.
"Then master, I still have one thing I don't understand. If I'm not married, can you tell? What about him?" Teng Shuyue pointed to He Zuo who was sitting next to him, "Why do I feel that he is the same as me? How about a shallow marriage?"
The old monk glanced at He Zuo, then at her again, crossed his eyes, and smiled, "This may be the predestined person that the Buddha said, it's strange to say, I tried not to put you in the Look at it together, but look at the two of you, this benefactor is a rich and powerful person, and his life is good, but the relatives are equally shallow, not just the marriage, to say something offensive... Is the benefactor's father in the world? Did you die when you were very young?"
He Zuo was surprised, but this was true. When he was very young, his father had a sudden illness and passed away. Then some people said that he killed his father by force, and even told her mother and sister not to accept it. Treat him too well, treat him better and worse.
So He Zuo nodded hesitantly, "That's true, my father passed away when I was very young."
The abbot nodded in response to his guess, and continued: "You said that you have no worries about food and clothing, whether you are young or old, you are a rich and powerful person who will never be short of money all your life, but it stands to reason that you will never have your own blood in your life. You were still alone until you were in your [-]s, and even the closest relatives around you will eventually break up with you, almost to the point of never getting in touch with each other."
He Yu himself was not much surprised. He guessed that the person he was talking about should be He Siheng, but he didn't realize that Teng Shuyue, who was next to him, had already set off a storm in his heart. What the hell was this old monk talking about? what?Why is it all right?
"I can even tell that the child you raised by your side may have ended up quarreling with you because of a woman..." After the old abbot finished speaking, he took a last look at Teng Shuyue next to him, and frowned slightly He frowned, and finally said: "But after I read this girl's fortune telling, I became even more confused? Logically speaking, you should be about to have a catastrophe next year, but looking at it now, why do you feel that everything is exposed everywhere?" with the unknown."
"And you told me that an old doctor told you that the marriage is shallow, but if you find that destined person, maybe you can change your name. Now I think you two are each other's destined person." The old monk sighed , and then said as if resigned to fate: "But the two of you are not hindering anyone, it's just that two frustrated people are missing."
"People say that it is better to tear down a temple than destroy a marriage. It is a blessing to make your couple happy."
