Reborn sparrow becomes phoenix

Chapter 35 Lingshan Temple

Lingshan Temple is located in Lingshan Scenic Area, fifty miles south of Tianyun City, and it takes more than an hour to drive there.

Today, Jiakai got his wish and drove the car out of the garage to act as a free driver. Xingye suspected that he was so excited to come together because of the car addiction.

While chatting in the car, Xingye found out that Grandpa and Master Huiyuan from Lingshan Temple have known each other for a long time. After becoming a monk, he not only intensively studied Buddhism, but also became a famous Chinese medicine doctor, and he and his grandfather were friends of gentlemen.

The car can only be parked at the foot of the mountain. Lingshan is not too high. Lingshan Temple is built on the mountainside, and there is still a long period of steps to climb. His footsteps were as steady as those of young people. Jia Luo was recruited by his brother to be a strong man, and he followed the people with a big backpack on his back.

The more you go up, the cooler it will be. The temperature here is lower than in the city. Xingye took a thin coat and put it on for grandma. She knew that grandma had been in poor health after the operation, and she was getting old again. , It is easy to get worse when one gets sick. Xingye has experience in taking care of her mother, so she usually takes care of her grandmother's health.

"It's still a girl who is careful." Grandma said gently.

It is a good season, and the mountains are full of flowers, attracting countless butterflies flying among the flowers, and the air is full of faint floral fragrance.

"It's so beautiful, I should come out more often!" Xingye sighed at the beauty of nature.

The flash flashed, and it turned out that Jia Kai brought a camera. Seeing the starry night surrounded by flowers, people are really more beautiful than flowers, and I couldn't help but want to record this scene.

A fluttering butterfly landed on Xingye's head.

"Don't move," Jia Kai shouted loudly.

Xingye was startled by him, didn't understand what was going on, and dared not move.

Jia Kai seized the opportunity to take several photos in succession.

"Xingye, you are more charming than flowers, look, you even attract butterflies." Jia Kai said with a smile.

But Xingye was attracted by the butterfly. The butterfly did not fly away, but flew up and down around Xingye. Xingye stretched out her hand, and the butterfly landed on her hand. After a while, another butterfly came and landed on her hand.

Xingye carefully showed the two butterflies to her grandma, who also admired them greatly. Jia Kai came over and reached out to grab them, but both butterflies flew away.

Xingye chased Jia Kai to ask him to pay, but Jia Kai ran away quickly.

Everyone talked and laughed and came to Lingshan Temple.

It is a holiday, and many people who come to visit have arrived early. If you come to Lingshan, you will definitely come to Lingshan Temple to have a look.

The temple was bustling with crowds and filled with cigarette smoke.

Xingye's grandpa and grandma didn't burn incense and worship Buddha, so they talked to the Zhike monk in front of them, and went to the backyard to find the old monk Huiyuan.

I followed my grandfather to a meditation room, and sure enough, an old monk was drinking tea indoors. It was not surprising to see them come in at the starry night, and greeted, "Forget that you are almost here, I will wait for you with some good tea." Pick up the small clay pot and get two cups of tea in the small tea bowl.

Grandpa and grandma didn't show politeness to him either, and sat on the opposite chair.

"I know you love tea, someone gave me some aged Pu'er, and I brought it here for you today." Grandpa asked Jia Luo to take out the prepared tea from his backpack.

"It really is a good tea." Huiyuan looked at the tea leaves and praised.

"Good tea should also be matched with your good tea-making skills, and it would be a waste of good things for us." Grandpa said.

"But you won't be able to drink this tea today. I don't have the right water to boil Pu'er. Next time, try the tea I prepared today. It's no worse than your Pu'er." Huiyuan said calmly.

The two of them drank tea with a smile, and the three of them could smell the fragrance of tea even standing beside them.

Xingye looked closely at Monk Huiyuan, he should be about the same age as his grandfather, with a very ordinary appearance, if he wasn't wearing a monk's uniform, he would be no different from an old man seen everywhere on the street, Xingye knew that the master should be a fairy It's either white bearded and childlike, which is too far from the image of the master I know.

"Hello, Master Huiyuan." Seeing that no one greeted the three of them, Jia Kai took the initiative to say hello to Monk Huiyuan.

"This is your pair of grandchildren, right? We haven't seen each other for two years, and we are already grown-ups. You have the style of Brother Yu back then. Who is this one?" Hui Yuan turned his gaze to Xingye.

"This is my granddaughter, who met Master Huiyuan at Xingye," the grandmother introduced.

Xingye quickly said: "Master Huiyuan is good."

Monk Huiyuan smiled slightly, "What a clever and intelligent child, he is blessed with both fortune and fortune."

"You praise her, but she is a filial child." Grandma was very happy to hear Huiyuan's compliment.

"Let them go outside and wander around on their own, they are not interesting here." It was still the grandfather who spoke, and the three of Jiakai left the meditation room, and the three old people stayed to drink tea and chat.

The three of them turned to the front hall and saw many people burning incense, Jia Kai asked Xingye if he wanted to pay respects, Xingye shook his head and said no.Many people asked for a lottery, and when they went to the side hall, there were monks who specially gave them out. Xingye saw that the lottery cost 50 yuan, and many people even gave more if they agreed.

There is a merit box outside the main hall, and many people put money into it. There is a monk next to him who is in charge of registering large donations. Excuse me.Outside the main hall, there is a small stall selling sandalwood, hand beads, and it is said that they are safe charms that have been opened. The usual things are several times more expensive than outside, so many people are rushing to buy them.

Going forward is the release pond. There are live koi and turtles for sale by the pond, which are prepared for people to release. The price of one koi is enough to buy ten fish in the vegetable market, so many people buy it. Then put it in the pool.

Jia Luo said with emotion: "I bought fish and put them in the pond, and they fished them out and sold them at night. It is too easy to make money here."

"It doesn't matter if the tourist attractions are more expensive, but I'm curious about those girls who ask for lottery," Jia Kai also expressed his opinion, "These monks are not allowed to marry wives, and they even go to the temple to seek marriage. Are you still in charge of the introduction object?"

Listening to what they said, Xingye couldn't help laughing when he remembered a cross talk in his previous life that satirized temples for making money.

"What did you think of, you giggled like this?" Jia Kai said.

"I saw a joke about the greedy temple, it was very funny." Xingye explained.

"Let's talk about it." Jia Kai became interested, and Jia Luo also came over.Immediately Xingye spoke in a cross talk tone.

"That is to say, someone passed by a temple and didn't want to go in, but a monk shouted at the gate of the temple; "Don't miss it when you pass by, it's good to buy or not."

Puchi, Jiakai and his brothers laughed, Xingye glared at them, "Don't laugh, you haven't finished talking yet" and continued.

"When the man entered the door, the monk asked him: "Are you here to donate money, sir?"The man said embarrassingly: "I don't bring much cash." Unexpectedly, the monk said, "Swiping a card is also fine."

Speaking of this family, Kai and the two laughed again. Xingye glared at them, and then imitated the tone in the cross talk and said: "The man said: I'm sorry, I was swallowed by the cash machine." The monk followed up and said: "A mortgage is fine," the man said a little angrily, "I have nothing to mortgage." Then he was about to leave, but the monk saw that he was going to leave and pulled him back and said, "It's really not possible, are you willing to donate your organs?" The man was furious, "Are you sick?"Why do you want everything? Is your temple under the administration of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau? "

When Xingye spoke about organ donation, Jia Kai and the two had already bent over laughing.

"Puchi..." Xingye turned around, only to find a pair of young men and women standing behind him, they heard everything he said, and they couldn't help laughing out loud.

It's not a big deal, there was a young monk standing next to them, his face seemed to have overturned the palette, and the green, green, blue and black were changing colors in turn.

Xingye smiled awkwardly at them, and pulled Jia Kai and Jia Luo who was still laughing quickly away.

When I was leaving, I heard the woman behind me joking with the man: "Why don't I know, your industry and commerce bureau still manages the temple?"

"You're still laughing, and the monks in the temple heard you if you didn't see it." Xingye looked around while speaking, making sure that no one was relieved.

"Thinking of that monk's face makes people laugh even more." Jia Kai said to Jia Luo: "Have you noticed that monk's face? It's blue and black!"

"Well, I should tell my grandparents and Master Huiyuan the joke just now." Jia Luo said seriously.

"If you dare, you are not afraid that the monk will beat you out." Xingye glared angrily.

Jia Luo scratched his head, "It seems that you said it?"
