Self-cultivation of male support

With the acquiescence of Abbot Ming Chen, Cheng Changqing saw Ming Guang in the Dharma Courtyard who was thin, with a bent back, and was digging the soil with a shovel.

Bodhidharma Courtyard is not actually a courtyard. To the east of it is a narrow path leading down the mountain. The mountain road is rugged. The monks in the courtyard usually go down the mountain to carry water along this road. Only those who are physically strong and have a stable foot In order to barely pick up half a bucket of water from the bottom of the mountain.

Monks who have made mistakes in the temple, if they want to think about their mistakes and practice, they are usually here.

As for why the monks in the temple who are not afraid of thinking about their mistakes never return, the superficially fooling argument is that it is voluntary to become a monk, and it is personal freedom to continue to repent.

In fact, after going down the mountain, anyone who wants to leave the capital, find a decent job to support himself, or buy a few acres of land to become a rich man must go to the government for filing, and a household registration document is required for filing.

But monks do not have these things. To put it bluntly, their household registration status is in the temple, which is a collective household registration. Monks in temples are not allowed to have private property at the foot of the mountain.

That is to say, if the monk who fled to the mountain has no one to protect him, he will either stay in the capital as a beggar, or if he is lucky, he will be picked up and taken back as a waiter in a shop to barely support himself. The premise is that he has the wit to be a waiter Son, you have to be able to endure hardships.

Seeing Cheng Changqing coming, Mingguang didn't show any surprise on his weathered face, he looked very calm, his hands kept digging, pointed to a place next to Cheng Changqing to stand there, and moved the shovel to the place where Cheng Changqing was standing just now Keep your head down and start digging.

After a while, neither fast nor slow, very rhythmic, and he can't see his true inner thoughts at all. Perhaps his heart is as calm as it appears.

Shi Yan held a piece of grass that came by the roadside in his mouth, and sat on a smooth big rock not far in front of Mingguang without any image, watching the silent communication between the two of them bored.

It can be seen from Mingguang's intention that he wants to rebuild a road leading to the mountain on the mountain road. According to Shi Yan's simple calculation and Mingguang's progress, it will take about five years to complete the road. The capital that reappeared in front of the world.

I feel bored in my heart, and feel that Ming Guang is really ruthless. Although he regards Buddha as a means to achieve his goal, many devout believers can be convinced and speechless by this action.

Speaking carefully, this relentless determination to achieve his goal is somewhat similar to Cheng Changqing.

Cheng Changqing, with his hands behind his back, stood quietly on a high place watching Mingguang's movements, and neither of them spoke.

Cheng Changqing lifted up his robe, squatted down, took out another shovel from the side basket, and started digging silently a few distances away from Mingguang.

The body that was just right was still a little weak. After two hours of digging, near noon, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the person who was shining could not open his eyes. His eyes were burning, but Cheng Changqing didn't cry out, or even say anything.

The two are doing their own things without disturbing each other, like two lines that will never intersect.

Shi Yan had already slept on the rock and was woken up by the sun. He looked at the sky and rubbed his stomach. It was time for lunch.

Cheng Changqing got up slowly, his eyes darkened, he got used to it for a while, his face was covered with sweat, his complexion was a little pale, he took a deep breath, gently put the shovel into the back basket next to him, walked up to Shi Yan, and then wiped it with his sleeve. Wiped the sweat off his face.

There was dirt all over the sleeves, and the face was wiped by it, which made it even more smudged.

Cheng Changqing showed a bright smile at Shi Yan, and stretched out his hand to Shi Yan: "Let's go, go to lunch."

From beginning to end, the father and son did not exchange a single word.

Shi Yan was satisfied with Mingguang's understanding of current affairs, and gave the other party an appreciative look.

But he also believed that if he hadn't followed along, the little Jiujiu in Mingguang's heart would have been ready to move and practiced it with Cheng Changqing.

On the way, Cheng Changqing said to Shi Yan: "He doesn't have me, my mother, or even Buddha in his heart, only himself. His belief is very firm, and he hasn't given up so far. We don't have to come again in the future. He doesn't need me, maybe say , he doesn't need anyone who doesn't help his plans."

Shi Yan didn't say anything about it, it was for Cheng Changqing's sake.

After fulfilling all their wishes, Cheng Changqing and Shi Yan recited a volume of Daoist scriptures together on a clear morning. After the two had breakfast, Cheng Changqing calmly said to Shi Yan: "Let's start."

Shi Yan didn't refute, but asked him one last time: "Have you thought about it yet?"

Cheng Changqing nodded lightly: "Yes."

Shi Yan pointed to another bowl of steaming medicine on the table: "Drink it, sleep, wake up and it's over."

Cheng Changqing didn't have the slightest doubt, like drinking a bowl of ordinary cold medicine, smashed his mouth, and said to Shi Yan: "I put a lot of Coptis chinensis, I reasonably suspect that you did it on purpose."

After drinking, I consciously lay down on the bed, with a bitter taste rising in my stomach, I frowned and joked with Shi Yan: "I hope I can hear the good news from my father when I wake up."

Shi Yan nodded: "Yes."

In fact, when Cheng Changqing woke up, it was already three days later. He was a little confused at first, then he remembered what happened before he fell asleep, and closed his eyes to feel it.

It seems to have lost something inexplicable, but I secretly feel that this is also a good thing.

I slowly put on my coat and walked out of the house. I didn't imagine that I would fall down as soon as the wind blows, and the cool autumn wind can make me feel icy cold.

Shi Yan turned his face on the futon under the eaves and smiled at him: "You're awake."

Cheng Changqing was in a daze, not knowing what to say first.

Shi Yan took out a transparent crystal ball the size of an egg from his bosom and handed it to Cheng Changqing: "Because you are my relative, I made you a ritual with the least cost and the best effect.

Buy one get one free, put this thing away, don't look at it is transparent now, until one day it is completely covered by a certain color, that is when your time is approaching. "

Cheng Changqing was stunned.

Shi Yan smiled and said: "Of course, this is not for you to stare at it and count the remaining days of your life, but to wear it close to your body. One person will only make it produce one color. If there is a difference in it one day The color is to remind you that there is danger around you.

Who made you an ordinary person with no merits and virtues? When you go out, you will inevitably stumble. As a relative, this is my little help to you. "

As for what he said before that he would lose his health and shorten his lifespan, it was just to scare Cheng Changqing. If he does things for his relatives, can he still earn the difference as a middleman?

Take him for something.

Xiaojia said sadly: "You are making money! If you don't make a difference at this time, is your head flooded?

Team leader, you suddenly changed your gender and stopped being a scumbag, but I can't be happy at all. I persuaded you, saying that you can stay in this world for decades for the sake of karma, but you have to pay what you deserve. The benefits!

If you don't accept it, the entanglement of cause and effect will become even tighter. We may have to wait for another few decades, and Tong'er is going crazy! "

Cheng Changqing held the crystal ball in his hand and said calmly, "You know I'm leaving?"

Shi Yan put his hands behind his back and looked up at the pure blue sky: "It's not hard to guess."

Cheng Changqing also followed his example, the two of them looked into the distance together, their minds were calmer than ever before, suddenly, Shi Yan said softly: "Here we come."

Cheng Changqing was puzzled: "What?"

Shi Yan: "Good news."

As Shi Yan's voice fell, Cheng Lixue's handsome face with a corner of his mouth that could not be suppressed appeared in the eyes of the two of them.

When there was no need for Yan to ask, Cheng Lixue opened the food box in his hand to take something from it, and greeted the two of them with a smile: "A Yan, Chang Qing, come quickly! I brought Ah Yan's favorite pork ribs, and Chang Qing's favorite food Tamales.

Oh, there are also pancakes from Granny Liu’s family here, eat two bites first to satisfy your cravings, and bring a lot of your favorite things!Don't fill up your stomach. "

Cheng Changqing and Shi Yan looked at each other, and saw an affirmative answer from Shi Yan's eyes, with the most relieved smile in the past six months on his face.

This smile seemed to let go of everything, and his mind finally returned to peace, without any burden on his body, and he was that young man flying wantonly in the capital.

As soon as Cheng Lixue looked up, she saw this scene, was startled, and then said happily: "Changqing, I haven't seen you smiling so happily for a long time! Is there something happy about it?

Come on, let's eat and talk! "

Shi Yan walked over slowly and sat down, jokingly said: "Brother Changqing, there is nothing to talk about here, but Uncle, you seem to be enjoying the spring breeze, your face is full of spring, and the spring is full of spring. I know you have something nice to tell us!"

Cheng Changqing also sat down and began to eat, looking at Cheng Lixue with a smile on his eyes.

Cheng Lixue coughed dryly, with a tinge of red on the tips of her ears, took a mouthful of vegetables to cover up her embarrassment, forcibly calmed down, and then said to the two children.

"No one else needs to know about this matter. I just want to tell you two."

Shi Yan smiled and said: "Is it to share the joy? Then you get into the topic quickly, don't dawdle."

Cheng Lixue originally felt a little embarrassed to say these things to the two children, but after thinking about it, he had nothing to explain to the family. Only these two children, especially in front of Changqing, must speak clearly so that the child would not be overwhelmed. Sensitive and overthinking.

Disturbed by Shi Yan, he simply let go and said directly: "A Yan, your grandfather arranged a marriage for your uncle, and the woman is Zhou Zicheng, the daughter of General Zhou's family, Zhou Qingyan.

Jiangmen Tiger Girl, we used to fight side by side on the battlefield in order to resist the aliens, and we are good brothers who can entrust our lives.Later, my uncle returned to Beijing to get married, but he never heard of the other party.

A few days ago, when the Zhou family returned from the border, one of their purposes was to find a marriage for Miss Zhou.

Because old General Zhou passed away at the border three years ago, Miss Zhou kept mourning for three years, and in addition, in the previous battle, her face was injured a little bit, so she has not settled down with anyone so far, the old lady of the Zhou family feels that she is If the health is not good, I am afraid that I will die, and the granddaughter will keep the filial piety for another three years, which completely delays Miss Zhou.

The family just came to Beijing and wanted to entrust Miss Zhou and the whole family of children to the elders of the clan to take care of them.

Uncle learned about this incident by chance, and asked your grandfather to go to the Zhou family to mention our marriage. In view of the premise that the old lady of the Zhou family is getting worse, our marriage is scheduled for the third day of next month.

When the time comes, uncle will say hello to the abbot, A Yan, come with Changqing, and let Changqing take you to meet the elders in the family, so as to avoid embarrassment in the future. "

Shi Yan could tell that my uncle really liked the girl from the Zhou family, her eyes were shining brightly, and there were waves in her eyes, which made people angrier when she saw them.

It doesn't look like spending time with the second princess before, it's calm and respectful.

Cheng Changqing also felt happy. To this day, Cheng Lixue has never treated him as an outsider, leaving him the last soft spot in his heart, he feels that everything is worth it.
