The Age of Rebirth: Struggle of the Eldest Daughter

Chapter 46 Taking Refuge to the Three Jewels
Since the end of the "Tian Gong Sheng" on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, people working outside have packed their bags and left the house one after another.

On the morning of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Sheng Rong came here to say goodbye to Su Manjin before leaving.

"Xiao Man, this is my phone number for the construction site office outside the province. If you need anything, you can go to the town and call me."

"Okay, uncle." Su Manjin took the note from Sheng Rong. "However, there is no rush. You will come back to visit the tomb on Tomb-sweeping Day? There is also Labor Day, a few days off, will you come back?"

Sheng Rong smiled and said: "Okay, if you need help with any problems in your hometown, you can call me, or you can go to Wangchunfeng Restaurant to find Wang Chunfeng, he is my good buddy, I have explained to him."

Su Manjin: This small town has a really small circle
After sending Sheng Rong's family away, Su Manjin greeted Zeng Meiyue and rushed to Zeng Huacheng's house.

According to the doctor's order, the second uncle will take grandpa to get the pathology report today.

Su Manjin thought for a while, walked halfway and turned another corner, and simply walked to Lingshan Ancient Temple.

"Master is auspicious!" When Su Manjin arrived, Wu Chen was standing in front of the desk at the side door of the main hall.

She greeted obediently, and then stood quietly watching Wu Chen swipe ink.

I saw him flowing like clouds and flowing water, writing like clouds and smoke, finishing in one go.

"All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such."

Su Manjin sighed, as expected of a calligrapher, he completed a piece of work in an instant.

——The most classic four-line gatha in the "Diamond Sutra".

Wu Chen looked at Su Manjin with a smile: "Little benefactor, do you want to write a few words?"

Su Manjin smiled and took the brush in his hand, and replied playfully: "Master, then I will write a few more words."

She turned around and looked up at the sitting Bodhisattva enshrined in the main hall, solemn and solemn.

Turning around, the elegant and agile Xing Kai appeared on the paper.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, if you practice the deep prajna paramita for a long time, you will see that all five aggregates are empty, and you will overcome all hardships."

"Sariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form, form is emptiness, emptiness is form, perception, perception, action, consciousness, and so on."

"Shariputra, is the empty phase of all dharmas, neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor clean, neither increasing nor decreasing."

Wu Chen looked at it casually at first, but when Su Manjin wrote the first line, his expression became serious.

"Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra", with a total of 260 characters, is an extremely important classic in the series of Prajna Sutras, which is concise and rich in meaning, broad and profound, and outlines the key points.

Su Manjin finished writing the last word and put down the brush.

She looked up at Wuchen, "Master, when will you help me take refuge?"

"Amitabha! If the little benefactor has the heart, let's do it today."

Su Manjin nodded, followed Wuchen's instructions, and walked to the middle of the main hall.

Wu Chen took a piece of red paper, picked up a pen, and recorded on the paper while asking.

Wu Chen: "Little benefactor, full name?"

"Su Manjin."

Wu Chen: "Home address?"

"No. 153, Group Two, Sujia Village, Jingfeng Town."

Wu Chen: "Years ago, you said you wanted to take refuge, and Master gave you a Dharma name—Miaozhuang. You have to remember, Miao is full of wit and fun, and Zhuang is broad and grand."

Su Manjin nodded solemnly, clasped his hands together: "Thank you Master for giving me my Dharma name."

Wuchen nodded, and then performed the ritual of taking refuge in the Three Jewels for Su Manjin, the ceremony was solemn and majestic.

After paying homage to the Buddha, Wuchen also confessed that he should recite scriptures and chant Buddha more often when he has time, and Su Manjin responded.

"Master, is there any news about what I told you a few days ago?"

"Dr. Chen Junqiang, is he willing to accept my grandfather's surgery?"

Wu Chen looked at the disciple he had just accepted, the little girl's big flickering eyes were full of anticipation, it was unbearable to refuse.

"Master, I went to the town to call Director Chen a few days ago, but he was away on a business trip and I couldn't find anyone."

Wu Chen looked at the little girl's disappointed gaze, and then added: "However, according to the doctors in their department, he should return to the hospital this Monday afternoon."

"It just happens to be today. I'll go to town in the afternoon and give him a call."

Su Manjin's voice was clear: "Thank you, Master~ I will come with my second uncle to pick you up to the town in the afternoon."

Wu Chen saw the bright smile on his disciple's little face again, and he smiled knowingly.

Su Manjin walked slowly to Zeng Huacheng's house, and they had already returned from the hospital.

"Xiao Man, I was thinking of finding you later."

Zeng Huacheng waited for Su Manjin to finish greeting Zeng Zhenxing before dragging her to the study.

"Second Uncle, what's the result of Grandpa's pathology?"

"It is confirmed that it is an early stage of esophageal cancer." Zeng Huacheng was a little frustrated.

"Second Uncle, let's pick up Master and go to town with him in the afternoon. He will call Director Chen again. The Director was away on a business trip a few days ago, and Master couldn't find anyone."

Zeng Huacheng nodded: "Okay, then let's go to Lingshan Temple to meet Master Wuchen after lunch later."

Su Manjin thought for a while, "Second Uncle, Grandpa will definitely have an operation, so should I briefly tell him about his condition?"

Zeng Huacheng hesitated and said: "I'm afraid that he will be frightened when he hears about cancer, and his mentality will be bad at that time, which is not conducive to the recovery of the disease."

Su Manjin: "Then let's not tell him it's cancer, just say that there is a small polyp in the esophagus, which needs to be removed by a minor operation, so as not to grow up in the future and affect eating and digestion."

Zeng Huacheng thought about it for a moment, "It should work if you say it this way! Let's talk to him in these two days."

Su Manjin reminded: "Second uncle, the sooner the surgery, the better."

"Once Master can contact Director Chen Junqiang in the afternoon, we can go to the General Hospital of the Military Region of the provincial capital tomorrow, and go through the formalities as soon as possible. The key point is the operation as soon as possible."

"So, let's talk to grandpa as soon as possible today, and prepare things for the hospital, so as not to be too rushed tomorrow."

Zeng Huacheng nodded: "Xiao Man, you are right, but it's a little strange that I think you are familiar with the procedures of hospitalization."

Su Manjin smiled wryly: "Second uncle, in the last life, my mother had two surgeries on her lumbar spine, and my father was hospitalized twice for his varicose veins."

Alas, she would rather not have these rich experiences.

In the afternoon, Zeng Huacheng drove, and his uncle and nephew went to Lingshan Temple to pick up Wuchen, and went straight to the town.

Borrowing the landline of the supply and marketing cooperative, he called Chen Junqiang's department.

Fortunately, I finally got in touch.

"Wu Chen? Gu Wenqiang? Is that you?" Chen Junqiang's excited voice came from the phone.

"Amitabha, it's a poor monk, Wuchen." He was reluctant to mention his name before he became a monk.

"Wu, Wu Chen, why did you suddenly want to contact me? What happened?" Chen Junqiang thought that he hadn't heard from this good friend for several years.

"I do have something to ask. The relative of the disciple of the poor monk is suffering from esophageal cancer, which is in the early stage. I would like to ask you to help with an operation. Can you arrange it?" Wu Chen sighed softly, and it was rare that he did not mention the benefactor.
