Master Xingyun slowly drank fragrant tea with his old friend.
After drinking nearly half a pot of tea in a row, Mr. Lou suggested: "My little disciple's school is on New Year's Day holiday, and Miss Le has also returned to China. Are you interested in visiting the paradise?"
"If the poor monk is interested, he is afraid that it will cause trouble to the little girl." Master Xingyun followed his inner thoughts and did not refuse.
"The park is still under construction, and people come and go every day. I think it won't be too crowded or noisy if we add two more people."
"Starting at dawn?"
"Start at dawn."
The two foreigners discussed the itinerary in a few words, looked at each other and sipped tea leisurely.
After drinking a pot of tea, the monks and the monks felt calm and sat in meditation again.
Master Xingyun's attack on the foundation failed. Baihui point suffered several severe impacts and was damaged. It was not suitable to move Qi in a short period of time. He sat quietly and did not practice. He only meditated and adjusted his breath.
Lou Zhenren meditates and practices.
The monks sat facing each other until dawn.
In the capital city in winter, when the sky breaks at dawn, the sky and the earth are also gray, not as bright and clear as the dawn in summer and autumn.
Master Xingyun and Master Lou, who had decided on their itinerary, washed themselves up, packed their bags, and went to have a fast meal first.
After the fast meal, Master Xingyun went to talk to the temple management, and he and Master Lou took their simple luggage and walked down the mountain through the morning frost.
The two foreigners descended from Fangfangshan Mountain, went to the parking lot area of the scenic spot, took a bus out of Fangfangshan Park, and then changed buses to the subway station to take the subway.
The two practitioners had to transfer to the subway before arriving at a station near the paradise. Since it was not far from the paradise, they could walk.
It was already after nine o'clock in the morning when they arrived near the paradise. The pedestrians were not as busy as in summer and autumn, and the streets were still busy with vehicles.
The walking monks arrived at the western area of the paradise. They could not see the enclosed construction site, but they could see the south wall of the paradise and the tall jade archway in front of the east gate.
The south wall of the paradise has golden tiles and white walls, as well as the exposed roofs of the buildings, making it majestic and majestic at first glance.
Just over a year later, when I look at the park again, it feels more impactful and intuitive than before it was expanded. Just standing outside makes me feel mysterious and sacred, and I feel yearning for it.
Master Xingyun and Master Lou were walking slowly along the sidewalk area beside the street, while looking at the murals on the wall of the paradise. Each object and scene in the murals are lifelike and the colors are bright, making people want to stop and take a look.
The murals are thickly decorated with light touches, the colors are just right, and the artistic conception is fascinating.
A monk walked and watched together, and the short walk from the southwest corner to the west gate actually took more than ten minutes. The two of them straightened their clothes, walked along the road to the west gate of the paradise, and rang the doorbell.
Because there are not many visitors on weekdays, the workers go directly to the construction site through the doorway area on the west wall of the park. Brother Fu does not need to guard the door at all times, and he can also follow the handsome guys to move things to decorate the park.
Fortunately, the young man in charge of the kitchen was responsible for the food, and someone was nearby. Hearing the doorbell, he ran to open the door.
The young man who ran to work as a doorman was a young man from the Ji family. He recognized Master Xingyun and Master Lou and was surprised to see them as outsiders.
He opened the door and invited Master and Master Lou to come in: "What kind of wind has brought Master Xingyun and Master Lou here today? Please come in first. The little girl happens to be at home."
"The little girl has returned to Beijing from her hometown?" Lou Zhenren was also surprised. His little disciple came back from the holiday to celebrate New Year's Day and called him to say hello. He learned from his little disciple that the little girl had also returned to China, so he guessed that she should
She was still in her hometown in Ebei, and I didn't expect that she would return to Beijing so quickly.
"Yes, the little girl is decorating the garden. At this moment, flowers and plants should be planted in the east garden." The handsome young man invited the two guests into the garden, closed the iron door, and led the two guests to the south hall while taking out the
Use your mobile phone to call the young master.
Ji Shao and a group of rising stars in the ancient cultivation world were sweating like rain, planting climbing plants in the plant corridor, and carrying fertilizer soil. When they received the call, they said "I understand" and then went to find the little girl who was dozens of meters away.
There are two plant corridors in the paradise. One is in front of the workshop near the east wall. There is a road between the corridor and the workshop. Of course, there is a green belt between the road, the workshop and the plant corridor.
The other end of the corridor is on the north side behind the east courtyard, connected with the branches of the rockery, and extends diagonally all the way to the east wall of the east courtyard.
Because one end of the corridor is close to the rockery, if you look down from a high altitude, the corridor is in the shape of a dragon. The rockery is the head of the dragon, and the tail is the wall of the paradise. The wall is a square shape. The corridor and the wall combine to form a spiral tail.
A circle of dragons.
The two plant corridors are mainly planted with climbing and twining vines, including climbing roses, honeysuckle, Schisandra chinensis, black tiger, August fried, Akebia five-leaf, weeping red honeysuckle, Trachelospermum, grape, wild grape, Shuili, Yingchun,
Wisteria, ivy, ivy, kiwi, woody wood, etc.
Various plants are either fruits or medicinal materials that can be used as medicine, or they are both fruits and medicinal materials.
Flowerbeds for planting plants are reserved at regular intervals on both sides of the corridor. Each plant is planted symmetrically. Generally speaking, each plant has a width of ten to twenty meters, and deciduous and non-deciduous plants are separated.
Grapes, honeysuckle, and Akebia are planted in large quantities, and grapes are also planted separately, with other plants spaced between different varieties.
Many of the climbing vines prepared by Little Loli are old piles, and the tree roots are planted in the flower bed like a rockery or root sculpture, which is practical and beautiful.
Classmate Le Xiao was planting grapes. She knew about it before Master Xingyun and Lou Zhenren arrived at the paradise. She still pretended not to know anything. When Master Ji came to tell him that a guest was coming, he quickly removed the roots that were thicker than her waist.
The wild grapes were planted in place, the soil was filled, and Yan Shuaiyan was asked to cover the flowerbed with film to keep out the cold, while she went to receive guests.
Mr. Ji did not go with the little Loli to meet the guests, he continued to work.
Student Le Xiao walked to the place where the faucet was hidden, washed her hands, wiped off the mud on her clothes, and walked along the white marble road beside the ditch to the south room of the paradise.
The handsome guys from the Ji family were super smart. They invited Master Xingyun and Lou Zhenren to the living room, brought a kettle to the living room, washed the tea sets, made tea for the two monks, and accompanied them in the living room.
Before Master Xingyun and Master Lou finished drinking a cup of tea, the little girl who owned the paradise came.
The little girl wore a high ponytail, modern clothes, and a cloth belt around her waist. She lifted her hair and tied it to the belt. She looked dashing, smart and sweet.
"Amitabha, the poor monk has come to harass Xiao Tan Yue again."
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, the old Taoist has come here arbitrarily and disturbed the little girl."
Seeing the little girl arrive at the door, the monks stood up together, one chanted the Buddha's name and the other chanted the Taoist name.
"Master and Master, please be polite. Please sit down." Le Yun bowed her hands in return and walked towards the main seat. When she arrived in front of the Arhat's couch, she saw that the two foreign ministers had not yet sat down, so she politely asked them to sit down again.
Master Xingyun and Master Lou were polite to the host before taking their seats.
The little girl came back. The young man from the Ji family made a cup of tea for the little girl, refilled the tea for the two monks, and quickly went back to the kitchen.
Le Yun took two sips of tea and looked at Master Xingyun: "Master had another opportunity to advance last night, but he failed to suppress it and failed?"
"It made Xiao Tan Yue laugh." Master Xingyun looked calm and calmly accepted the fact that he failed to advance.
"It is common for monks to fail in promotion. Especially now that the earth is short of spiritual energy, it is more normal for ordinary monks to fail to build the foundation." Le Yun looked at the Zen master's energy and asked: "Master, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
Master Xingyun also understood that the little girl meant to ask him if he had any wishes that he had not fulfilled, so he became the inner demon of the promotion.
Thinking back on it, all the wishes have been fulfilled.
He shook his head: "No."
"There is a saying that reading books is worse than traveling thousands of miles. Monk Tang traveled thousands of miles to study for scriptures. Master must have not traveled for a long time. If he has nothing else to do, he would rather go west for a trip."
Le Yun probably understands why the Zen master failed to advance. His merits have not been perfected, and he is still a little short of it, so he cannot get any closer. If he practices hard, does good deeds, and spreads positive energy, his merits will be perfected and the foundation will be built.
It's also a matter of course.
Master Lou looked at the little girl in shock. Could it be that Miss Le knew where the old monk's opportunity was?
Master Xingyun paused slightly and sang a salute: "Amitabha. Thank you so much, Xiao Tanyue, for your guidance. When the early spring comes, the poor monk will go and practice."
Le Yun thought for a while before giving her suggestion: "It is best to start the procession before the second month of the lunar calendar, so as not to encounter Wu and San on another day."
"Thank you, Xiao Tanyue, for your guidance." Master Xingyun clasped his hands together again and thanked him.
"I would like to wish Master a smooth journey in advance." Le Yun accepted Zen Master's thanks calmly and chatted for a few words. Knowing that the two outsiders wanted to stay in the paradise for three or two days to achieve enlightenment, she was not surprised and allowed them to do so.
Arrange your own food and accommodation.
After chatting for a while, the guests went to the West Courtyard to put their luggage. Le Xiao went back to the East Courtyard to pick up the medicine box, and then went to the West Courtyard to give Master Xingyun acupuncture at the Huixian Hall in the West Courtyard.
Master Xingyun failed to advance. His Baihui points were damaged and his meridians were also damaged. Without acupuncture and moxibustion, he did not perform exercises and just rested peacefully. He could heal on his own in about half a year.
Master Xingyun is also a monk, and his cultivation has long been engraved in his bones. He will automatically enter the cultivation state when he meditates and sleeps. It is okay to let him not practice for ten days and a half, but it is too difficult to let him not practice for half a year.
It took less than forty minutes for Mr. Le Xiao to perform acupuncture on Master Xingyun. He collected the medical needles, returned the medicine box to the east courtyard, and ran non-stop to the corridor to plant climbing plants.
After acupuncture, Master Xingyun practiced on the spot until noon, and then went to the little girl's Hall of Heroes with Master Lou.
The construction workers finished their work and ate or chatted in the large kitchen and dining room in the south room, while the monks ate in the west pavilion of the Hall of Heroes. Each had their own activities and living areas, so everyone stayed on the same page.
Because they don’t live in the same place or cook in the same kitchen, the daily necessities and ingredients of the two teams will not be mixed up. Therefore, even though the two teams have hundreds of people, they have always been living in harmony.
The monks were busy for a long time and returned to the west pavilion of the Hall of Heroes. Master Xingyun and Master Lou found that the disciple of the old man Shan Weng was also there. They were surprised that the young man of the Yan family served in the Yamen and was responsible for the sharp sword of the country. He
A person like that is supposed to be a warrior, so how come he always has time to do odd jobs in the park?
