A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 1105
Xu Shenfang got acquainted with the abbot of the Huguo Temple, and soon found a new hobby of her own.

That is to live in the Huguo Temple when there is nothing to do, listen to the monks in the temple chanting scriptures in the morning and evening, play chess and drink tea with the abbot, and listen to the abbot chat about Zen.

The abbot said that when he first saw him, he felt that he had a connection with Buddhism.

The abbot's beard was all white, but Xu Shenfang was able to become friends with him.

Li Huan heard from Ah Lian that Xu Shenfang had lived in the temple for more than half a month.

Later, Li Huan visited him at Huguo Temple once.

He was wearing a blue robe and plain robe, and Shi Shiran was sitting under the bodhi tree.

The breeze is leisurely, and the distant Sanskrit bells sound from the mountain.

There is no one sitting on the opposite side of his chessboard, and he plays chess with himself contentedly.

Li Huan walked over and sat down opposite him.Xu Chenfang looked up at her, and said: "You came just in time, the abbot is not free right now, why don't you help him take a few steps."

Li Huan looked down at the chess board, picked up a chess piece and landed on it.

Li Huan said: "I heard that you are tired of making money, and you have developed a new interest in this temple."

Xu Shenfang said: "In the past, I was impetuous and didn't like people talking to me, but now I like to listen to the abbot."

Li Huan said: "You are now the richest businessman in the country of Li. Your life has a splendor beyond your imagination, but you end up living in such a Buddha-nature?"

"Brilliant," Xu Chenfang smiled slowly, "That's just a cold shell."

Later Li Huan went down the mountain.

Xu Shenfang is still sitting under the bodhi tree and playing chess.

The abbot came out of the Buddhist hall, glanced at the back of the woman who was going down the mountain, sighed, and said: "The fate of the world is in trouble, why bother to pretend to cross by yourself."

Xu Shenfang smiled slightly and said: "As a human being, there should be things to worry about. Buddhism emphasizes the purity of the six sense organs and the emptiness of the four elements. Then the masters in this Buddhist sect are all those who have the emptiness of the four elements? If the four elements are all emptiness, what is the meaning of living? Is it just to waste the food of this world? The masters not only practice themselves, but also save all sentient beings. Isn’t this also a kind of obsession. It’s just that people in the world have different attachments.”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a "please" gesture, and said again: "Abbot, please take a seat."

When Ah Lian was 13 years old, she had grown into a slim girl.She looks very much like her mother, with clear and bright eyes like peach blossoms. She is quirky and has her mother's optimistic and positive attitude towards life.

When she was 13 years old, Xu Shenfang gave her the huge family business.

That day, she ran back crying, crying miserably, as soon as she entered the door, she rushed towards Li Huan and Yin Heng like she did when she was a child.

Li Huan looked at Yin Heng, in her memory, Ah Lian hadn't been this sad for a long, long time.

Li Huan asked, "Ah Lian, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"

Li Huan himself didn't believe it when he asked this question, who in Beijing could bully her, she was the only one who could bully others.

Ah Lian was out of breath, and cried, "Mother, please, please go and see foster father quickly, please help me stop him..."

Li Huan asked, "What's wrong?"

Ah Lian raised her tear-stained face and said, "He is going to become a monk. The abbot will shave his hair, and he will stay in the temple as a monk from now on..."

Li Huan was stunned.

Ah Lian took her hand and pulled her out.

Yin Heng said, "Ah Nam, let's go."

Li Huan came back to his senses, looked up at him, the next moment she took Ah Lian's hand, turned around and ran out.

When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, Li Huan picked up Ah Lian, and the mother and daughter rode on Zhuye and ran all the way to Huguo Temple.

At the foot of the mountain, the two ran up the steps up the mountain without stopping.

Li Huan heard the eternal bell ringing in the mountains.

When she ran into the Huguo Temple in one breath and rushed to the entrance of the Buddhist hall, she raised her eyes and saw some monks and masters were chanting sutras in the Buddhist hall, and Xu Shenfang was kneeling on the yellow futon in the middle of the Buddhist hall.

Like the year when we first met, he was wearing a red robe.

On the corner of his red robe, hair like ink was spread out.

The abbot has finished shaving for him, and is marking his ring at the moment.

Ah Lian cried loudly at the door, calling out: "Father, look back, my mother is here!"

Li Huan gasped for breath, staring with widened eyes.

He never looked back.

In Li Huan's eyes, the shock, regret, and a lot of reluctance and sadness, all emotions were intricately intertwined, and she herself couldn't tell what kind of feeling she was feeling in her heart.

But seeing him so calm, she finally calmed down a little bit.

Li Huan held Ah Lian back and prevented her from entering the Buddhist hall and watching the ceremony quietly at the door.

After finishing all the steps, the abbot and other masters withdrew one by one.

He was still kneeling in the Buddhist hall, chanting scriptures softly.

After the recitation, he finally got up and turned around slowly.

There are no traces of three thousand troubles, no more evil smile that always hangs on her lips, and the mole of tears in her eyes is still there.He smiled at Li Huan and Ah Lian, his smile was clean and gentle.

He doesn't have all four things empty, and he can't do all four things.He just chose a way to deal with his unfinished fate.

Li Huan looked at him and opened his mouth, but the corners of his lips trembled slightly, unable to speak.She never thought that the man in red who was full of vigor back then would end up looking like he is now.

At this moment, she even thought, if he hadn't met her, would his life have been wonderful?
She was sorry for him after all.

Li Huan said with red eyes, "I'm a step late."

He said, "It's never too late."

Li Huan smiled at him, smiled and burst into tears, and said: "Xu Chenfang, you can even earn money and spend money. What if you become a monk in the future? You The ring marks on the top of my head can’t be removed.”

Xu Chenfang thought for a while, and smiled: "Who knows in the future, right now, I will be a monk hitting the clock for a day."

Li Huan knew that since he lost his hair and put on his ring marks, he had no intention of giving up on this matter halfway, and he would never return to his original appearance.

Xu Chenfang walked past her, and the scent of musk orchid on her body had gradually faded away.

He went up the bell tower.

Li Huan and Ah Lian sat under the luxuriant and huge linden tree, listening to the sound of his bell ringing.

The sound of the bell is thick and ethereal.

Li Huan thought, maybe she shouldn't have sold those two traffickers to Xu's house that year, let alone accidentally knocked down his jade bone fan.

That way they won't meet again.

Li Huan never regretted meeting him, she just felt that if it wasn't for her, he could have had a better life.

Listening to the bell he knocked out, she probably understood it, and her heart gradually returned to peace.

There is nothing wrong with meeting.There is nothing wrong with timing either.

It's just that it was a bit of a coincidence that he happened to fall in love with a woman, and that woman had another love.

None of them are wrong.

He never regretted loving her either.

He may continue to love her in the future, but in a different way.It is enough for them to live together in this world.

Later, Yin Heng came to the temple to pick her up.

When walking halfway up the mountain, when he heard the bell, he couldn't help but stamped his feet.

He looked up, and in the boundless twilight, a corner of the temple's eaves was faintly outlined.

Apart from their status, apart from their love for the same person, apart from all external affairs, Xu Shenfang is the one person he deserves to cherish the most.

He was on guard against him at first, then thanked him.Until now, that gratitude has not been reciprocated.

The slow sound of the bell seemed to contain all the unspeakable feelings.

Yin Heng raised his foot again and continued walking up the mountain.When he climbed the last step, he saw the mother and daughter sitting under the Bodhi tree.

The woman he loves most is gently comforting their daughter.

She raised her head, met his gaze, then lowered her head and whispered in her daughter's ear: "Your father is here to pick you up."

The girl whose eyes were red and swollen from crying also raised her head and saw him, her eyes were covered with water mist again.The girl stood up, threw herself into her father's arms in aggrieved manner, and said, "Father, I want to become a monk when I grow up."

Yin Heng patted her head and said: "You can do it now, but after you become a monk, you won't practice with your adoptive father in this monk temple, you will go to a nunnery to practice."

The girl turned her head to look at the woman in the fluttering dress under the tree, and said, "Mother, look at Dad, he can't comfort anyone at all!"

The woman lowered her eyebrows and brushed the corner of her skirt, looked at Yin Heng, her eyes were as bright as water, and said: "You have to choose someone, he is quite effective when comforting me."

She thought, maybe when everyone comes to this world, what they have is fixed.

If she gets more in this respect, she will get correspondingly less in other respects.

She has the man in front of her, and everything about him occupies a large part of her life, so it is probably destined that she will have less of other things.

If knocking off Xu Chenfang's folding fan that year became something she regretted, then dragging Yin Heng, who was covered in blood, back to her home that year was the thing she had no regrets the most.

On the way down the mountain, Yin Heng asked in a low voice: "What are you thinking?"

Li Huan responded, "I'm thinking of you."
