Chapter 494

Ordinary people can only see the big tree, but the wise can feel for the roots.

Although they did not find Baitang's parents during lunch, nor did they find Zuo Cequan.But the meal at noon is still very full.

Because one of the chefs serving the rice was Zhang Zai, he put a few spoonfuls of extra food for Yu Fan and his party with a smile, and took extra care of these four people.

After lunch, everyone wandered around the temple to eliminate food.The meals were all vegetarian dishes, without any greasy smell. It was only half an hour after eating, and Chen Xingyang felt hungry again.

Chen Xingyang: "Oh, the biggest mistake I made was that I didn't bring some canned food when I came out this time. How can I be full with only vegetarian dishes? I'm starving to death."

Yu Fan: "Old Chen, you are exaggerating too much, you only finished eating for half an hour."

Chen Frameyang: "Yes. But my stomach is demanding."

Baitang: "Brother Chen, drink more hot water, maybe it will be all right. Don't you boys always care about girls so much..."

Chen Xingyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What the hell... I'm a little girl."

The four of them talked and laughed, wandered into the depths of the temple, and walked around to the meditation room. It was very quiet here, and this meditation room seemed to be the resting place of the "Zen Master Deming".

The four quietly slipped to the side of the meditation room, and looked inside through the gap in the curtains, but there was no one in the room.Strange, where did Zen Master Deming go?I didn't see him at dinner just now, and now it's almost lunch break, and he's not in the room either.

Originally, the four of them wanted to sneak in to have a look, but they didn't sneak in considering that Zen Master would be back soon if he had to take a lunch break.

"Brother Yu, look here!" At this time, Guo Na made a new discovery.

Everyone followed Guo Na's instructions and saw that there seemed to be several dense footprints beside the grass on the side of the meditation room.

Everyone got closer and took a closer look.

Chen Xingyang: "These footprints are heading towards the woods. Who are they? What are you doing walking into the woods?"

Yu Fan: "Follow up and have a look and you'll know."

The four people followed the footprints into the woods. Through observation, there were at least five people in the footprints. It looked like five people walked into the woods together and did something purposefully.

Gradually, the footprints became shallower and fewer, and finally disappeared.

Baitang: "The footprints are gone?"

Chen Xingyang: "There is nothing here. Could it be that these footprints are someone who came here for a walk and went back when they were almost gone?"

Yu Fan didn't speak, and looked around carefully.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Suddenly, a man's voice came from not far away.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that the speaker was Zhang Zai. He carried a vegetable basket in his hand and walked through the nearby woods.

Chen Xingyang asked Zhang Zai, "What are you doing here?"

Zhang Zai shook the basket in his hand and said, "I will deliver food to Zen Master Deming."

Guo Na: "Isn't Zen Master Deming's meditation room in the temple? Why did he come here to deliver food?"

Zhang Zai smiled and said, "Chan Master Deming has a hidden practice place here, where he would practice alone every day, every noon and night, Chan Master Deming would arrange a place with me, and I would give him food. "

Baitang: "This Chan Master Deming is so particular, and he has his own back garden."

Zhang Zai: "Then how did you find this place? This is not a temple."

Yu Fan thought of a reason: "We were full and walked around casually to digest the food. We originally wanted to find a place to take a lunch break, but we came here by mistake."

Zhang Zai smiled and said: "This is not a place for you to hang out. But I don't blame you. After all, you are new fellow Taoists. It's normal to find no place to rest. Let's go. I just want to go there. take you there."

After speaking, Zhang Zai enthusiastically led the four of them back.Yu Fan turned his head and looked around again, and there was indeed nothing unusual here, so he had to give up and leave with Zhang Zai.

Back at Changhai Temple, the temple was very quiet in the afternoon and everyone was resting.Zhang Zai led the four of them to the "dormitory" of the believers.This "dormitory" can be said to be very, very simple, it's just some big tents.The styles of tents are different, and it seems that believers brought them themselves. Dozens of tents gather on a flat ground to form a group of tents.Yu Fan and the others didn't expect this to happen, so naturally they didn't prepare a tent.

Zhang Zai saw that they hadn't prepared anything, and said with a smile, "It seems that you are indeed newcomers, and your introducer was sloppy enough, didn't he explain the situation here clearly to you?"

The four shook their heads.

Zhang Zai: "It doesn't matter. My tent is very big. It's the kind of military tent. If you don't mind, you can live with me. It can accommodate five of us."

The four of them thought for a while, and it seemed that there was no more suitable way than this.

Chen Frameyang: "Then thank you Brother Zhang Zai."

Zhang Zai said with a smile: "Here, don't call him a brother, but a Taoist friend or Buddhist friend."

Chen Xingyang smiled embarrassedly and said, "Ah yes, fellow Daoist Zhang."

Zhang Zai led everyone through the tent group and walked inward.Along the way, Yu Fan scanned the surrounding tents with his peripheral vision.Judging from the state of the tents, many people have lived here for a long time, and the fixed marks on the ground are already deep.The tastes in the tent group can be described as varied, including the smell of instant noodles. It may be that many believers are not full and add meals by themselves. After all, the vegan diet is too hungry; there is also the smell of incense. Add some practice homework; there is even some smell of urine and urine, I wonder if these believers can’t hold back their urine in the middle of the night, and they don’t want to go far to go to the bathroom, so they “solve” it by themselves nearby…

In short, the people here are really a mixed bag.

Bai Tang seemed to be the same as Yu Fan, feeling that the place was too "messy", so he asked Zhang Zai: "Brother Zhang Zai, what do these fellow Taoists do? Don't they have to go to work here all the time?"

Zhang Zai: "They have people from all walks of life. Some are big bosses, some are ordinary workers, some are from the literary and art circles, and some are university teachers. In short, there are all kinds of people. But, They don't go to work, so they have been here to bless this temple, after all, they are people who see through the world, and work is already something beyond the six realms for them."

Bai Tang asked again: "Brother Zhang, what about you? Are you also a person who sees through the world?"

Zhang Zai's expression suddenly froze for a moment, as if some memories had been brought back, but after a moment, he returned to his smile and said, "I am different from them." Zhang Zai paused and continued, "However, in Everyone here feels different. Haha."

Bai Tang wanted to ask something again, but Zhang Zai spoke first, "Okay, my tent—the House of Desire, has arrived!"
