Section thirty-four: text thirty-three
[69 Book Bar - www.] Dr. Lin’s bus station was at the entrance of Pumen Town, across an ancient street from Pumen Temple. He asked the driver to wait for him at the entrance of the town for a while. Then he took out his mask and put it on, and put on his clothes.
He raised his collar a little higher, lowered his head and led the two boys into this ancient street that he had been to before. As he walked and looked at it, the past events were vivid in his mind. Who is he? Why did he come to this ancient street in Pumen Town?
I put on a mask. My eyes looked around from time to time, as if searching for something.
Gu Haifeng looked at Dr. Lin and asked, "Uncle, have you caught a cold?"
"Oh! No! I'm allergic to camphor wood." These were the words Dr. Lin used to put off the child. He was actually the famous Lin Xiangbei who came to Pumen Town to work as a Red Guard doctor during the Cultural Revolution. Lin Xiangbei was not an ordinary person.
During the Cultural Revolution, he ostensibly severed the father-son relationship with his father because his father went to Taiwan. He was once regarded as a model of righteousness and annihilation of relatives. However, he secretly colluded with his cousin to engage in illegal activities, which was to steal stolen goods that were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution.
cultural relics. No wonder he stared at the old jade button around Gu Xiaoshui's neck so tightly, because he recognized the former owner of this jade button, Master Dehong, who was also the one who forced the abbot to death. Master Defa and Master Dehong, the abbots of Pumen Temple
They are brothers in the same sect, Defa is the eldest, and Dehong is the last disciple of the ancestor abbot. The ancestor passed on a thousand-flower cassock and the golden dragon abbot's seal to Defa and Dehong. Defa inherited the master's mantle and became
The abbot of Pumen Temple, but the abbot's seal has never been found on Defa's body. According to this, it must be in the hands of Master Dehong. Lin Xiangbei has been unwilling to give up for more than ten years, because he
Knowing the origin of this seal, he also knew that only by finding this seal could the gate of the eighth floor of the treasure tower be opened. When he saw the jade button of the cassock around Gu Xiaoshui's neck next to Grandpa Gu, he suddenly understood that this thousand-flower cassock had long been worn.
Following Dehong's tragic death and death, he was cremated together. The jade was actually kept, so they had neglected the inside of the cassock. Maybe the golden dragon abbot's seal was hidden in this thousand-flower cassock. Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that the abbot's seal had always been in Dehong's hands, and
It's very secretive.
"Uncle, we are here." Ye Chao and Haifeng suddenly spoke, bringing back Dr. Lin's thoughts. He saw that the ancient archway was still there. He touched the stone Qilin and said to the children: "Okay, uncle will send you off.
Come here." He said and took out a few ten-dollar bills from his pocket and gave them to them.
Gu Haifeng shook his head and said, "Thank you, Uncle Lin, I have money." He took out Zou Baba's ten-dollar bill from his trouser pocket and showed it to Lin Xiangbei.
"I have one too." Ye Chao also took out five dollars from his trouser pocket and showed it to him. Gu Haifeng looked at him in surprise, making Ye Chao very embarrassed.
"Well, children, be careful! I hope you can find your sister!" He patted Shi Qilin's head and left. He began to secretly have another plan in his heart. He would not take this seal away until he found it.
He has trouble eating and drinking because of the treasure.
"Let's go! Go in and find Xiaoshui!" Ye Chao felt very excited. He could finally see Xiaoshui's sister. He promised her last time that he would bring her delicious food. Unexpectedly, when he came back from his grandma's house in Shanghai, Gu Xiaoshui actually brought her something delicious.
Became a nun in a temple.
"Not in a hurry? We'll look for you when it gets dark. I have a secret code for Xiao Shui." Gu Haifeng said calmly. Ye Chao admired Gu Haifeng very much. He was thoughtful and witty.
"I think you should become a policeman when you grow up." Ye Chao and Gu Haifeng walked into the Pumen Temple Shanmen Archway and said.
"What the hell, I didn't even pass the exam." Gu Haifeng looked around and said, it would be best if he could see his sister. When he saw it, he immediately ran away. The two of them quietly hid in Pumen Temple and passed by Tianwang Hall to find
He hid in a less crowded place, and Xiaoshui was nowhere to be seen for a long time.
The night is quiet! The early autumn grasshoppers started to cry! The sound of "dong dong dong, da da da" came from Pumen Temple. "Meow! Meow! Meow!" The cat meowed several times. Mrs. Gu Haifeng
Now that he was familiar with the sound, he was overjoyed and lowered his voice and said to Ye Chao beside him: "Listen, it's the sound of fishing."
"How do you know?" Ye Chao asked suspiciously:
"Xiao Shui plays with it every day, how can I not know? I'm used to hearing it!" Gu Haifeng said, suppressing his developing throat. Gradually, the sound of knocking on the board went away, and the cat stopped meowing.
He got up secretly and walked out. In the darkness, he could only see a light in one place. Ye Chao followed him closely. He was a little timid and looked at the shadow of the big tree in the temple in the moonlight, which was very mysterious.
It was so scary that I quickly took a few steps to catch up with Haifeng.
"Go, pour the foot-washing water outside to water the trees." Master Dehong washed Xiaoshui's feet and then washed them himself. Master and apprentice shared a bucket of foot-washing water. Master often taught Xiaoshui to cherish the blessings of water.
Don't waste water. After washing your face, you can wash your feet. The water after washing your feet can be used to water flowers and trees. If you cherish it in this life, you will not run out of water in the next life. I have been following Master Dehong for a while, and under the words and deeds of Master Dehong
, Gu Xiaoshui could also listen to the simple Buddhist principles.
She nodded and said: "Old man! Which tree should I water?"
"Which tree did you water last night?" Master Dehong asked Gu Xiaoshui.
"I watered the cypress trees last night." Gu Xiaoshui is studying very well in daily life classes now, and she can remember what she did every time.
"Then let's water the iron tree tonight, the one at the entrance of the main hall." Master Dehong said, lighting sandalwood and starting to meditate.
The door creaked open, and Gu Xiaoshui walked out carrying a wooden bucket, obviously much stronger. Gu Haifeng's eyes were very bright, and he saw Gu Xiaoshui's figure hiding in the dark. He was so excited that Ye Chao yawned
Without paying attention, Gu Haifeng pinched him: "Ouch, it hurts!"
"Look, it's Xiaoshui!" Gu Haifeng couldn't control his emotions and said:
"Where?" Ye Chao ignored the pain and looked in the direction pointed by Gu Haifeng's finger. The brightness of the moonlight just happened to shine on Gu Xiaoshui. Although she was wearing a little monk's clothes, her hair was still the same, neatly doll-style."
It’s Xiaoshui that’s good!” Ye Chao saw it and said.
"Chirp chirp chirp" Haifeng whistled like a bird, and Gu Xiaoshui was about to pour the water when he heard it.
"Brother!" Xiaoshui shouted in her heart, threw the bucket on the ground with a "bang" sound, and began to look for the cry. She pinched her small mouth with her thumb and index finger and blew out a "bang" sound, which was the secret signal.
In response, Gu Haifeng brought Ye Chao to Gu Xiaoshui. Haifeng seemed very excited and excited to finally see his sister. Haifeng looked at Xiaoshui carefully. Xiaoshui had grown taller. Maybe it was because there was spiritual energy in the mountains, and people looked taller.
Xiaoshui became more and more agile and smart. Xiaoshui began to see her brother as a bit strange, and more often than not she couldn't believe that her brother was right in front of her. She was aggrieved, happy, and even more sad, too many emotions mixed together.
There was no way to express it. There was no crying, just tears flowing down.
Haifeng hugged Xiaoshui and held her hand and said, "Let's go! Go home!"
Gu Xiaoshui took out the hand held by Haifeng and shook his head at his brother: "Grandpa doesn't want me anymore, and neither does mom. I don't want to go back."
"Fart! Auntie is crying every day, and grandpa doesn't speak now! Auntie..." As he said this, Gu Haifeng, a person who was not sad, suddenly felt sour in his heart.
"Mom, do you miss me? What's wrong with aunt?" Gu Xiaoshui grabbed Haifeng and asked.
"Silly aunt is dead." Gu Haifeng whispered and glanced at Gu Xiaoshui in the moonlight. Xiaoshui suddenly burst into tears.
Haifeng quickly covered her mouth and said: "Don't make any noise, don't say any more, and leave quickly!"
"I...I haven't said goodbye to the old man yet!" Gu Xiaoshui thought to himself that if he left like this, the old man would definitely be anxious to death. After all, after following him for half a year, the master took care of his food and clothing. In the past, he always thought about finding opportunities to escape, but now there is an opportunity.
Now that I'm here, I'm starting to have trouble again.
"Brother, please find a place to wait for me first. I will follow you when morning classes begin." She still wanted to go back and say goodbye to Master Dehong.
"Okay! We'll wait for you at the back of the temple!" It seems that Gu Haifeng has already scouted the terrain and escape route. Gu Xiaoshui picked up the barrel and walked to the living room, looking back from time to time to look at his brother and Ye Chao.
, she had no idea whether she was happy or sad. When she entered the meditation room and saw her master meditating, she sat next to him for the first time and lay on his lap. Master Dehong looked down at Xiaoshui and understood in his heart.
