Shangfo Temple is located on the high mountain in Hejian County. From the foot of the mountain to the temple, there are a total of 999 floors of blue-brick stone steps, winding all the way to the top of the mountain. On the way, there were also pilgrims who came to pay homage in twos and threes, holding bamboo baskets in their hands and placing incense candles and other objects inside.
Jiang Pengji does not believe in gods and Buddhas, but she has to admit that the scenery along the way from the foot of the Buddhist temple to the top of the mountain is full of Zen.
The stream is gurgling, the ancient trees are towering, and the melodious bells and the peaceful sound of chanting and chanting Buddhists can be vaguely heard in the distance.
The sky turned from dark to light, and the mountains in the distance were shrouded in a red morning glow, welcoming the arrival of a new day with the calming Buddhist sound. Even a person like Jiang Pengji, who disdains gods and Buddhas, felt a lot more open-minded at this time.
The sound of the clogs falling on the stone bricks rattled, step by step, with a leisurely charm in the pace.
Liu She was wearing a brand-new dark blue robe, the size was much more suitable than yesterday's clothes, which also reflected his current weight loss.
The black hair was meticulously swept away, and the face was also trimmed clean and fresh, the fingernails and toenails were also carefully repaired, there was still a little sandalwood on his body, and his face always had a solemn and solemn color. Pay attention to this wish.
Jiang Pengji held a food box in her hand, which contained incense sticks, candles, lamp oil, gold paper, and fruits needed for the sacrifice prepared by the housekeeper. Of course, she secretly weighed the weight of the box, but the weight did not match the real thing. money.
"When your two brothers died of serious illness, Amin worshipped step by step and climbed up the Buddhist temple, begging the Buddha to have mercy..."
Although maintaining a leisurely pace and breathing rate, Liu She's body is not strong. He has just finished a third of the climb, and his forehead is already sweating. I drank the medicine yesterday, although the fever has subsided in the middle of the night, but my body is still a little weak, and even my lips have no blood at this time.
"Didn't my father say that my mother is not in good health, why is it still up to her? The body is seriously ill. What's the use of asking God to worship Buddha without seeking medical advice?" Jiang Pengji didn't understand. According to her guess, the cheap mother was also It's not like someone who believes in gods and buddhas.
"Yeah, sickness is a matter of doctors and doctors. What's the use of praying to gods and worshipping Buddhas? If the gods and Buddhas in the sky are useful, how could your two brothers die? , not to mention gods and Buddhas, even a god stick can become a straw for saving people, I hope to hold it in my hands." Liu She sighed as he walked, as if he was recalling something.
One step at a time, after all, he failed to save the child's life, and he killed his wife half of his life in a series of blows. Why didn't he kill him
If you can't persuade her, what else can you do besides being silly with her
I just hate that I am not a man, I can't cure my disease, I can't save my life.
"Fortunately, you are still alive. Come to repay your vows today. I hope your mother and brother can see it and protect your health and happiness in the future."
Jiang Pengji held the food box in silence, she was not Liu Lanting, "Father has insight into Qiuhao, he knows that I am not..."
"Heh, you're the daughter that Amin wants... Don't think about it." Liu She seemed to be in the habit of killing her head, relying on herself to step on two more steps, and rubbing her head didn't bother at all, "You're doing well, she's in another world. be completely at ease.”
Jiang Pengji was puzzled and looked at Liu She's slightly thin back with puzzled eyes, always feeling that there was another meaning in his words.
Before dawn, Liu She took Jiang Pengji and the old housekeeper to the Buddhist temple. The long stairs on the mountain road made people’s legs hurt. Finally, when the sun was rising, they climbed to the top of the mountain and saw the Buddhist temple hidden in the lush jungle.
The temple is surrounded by green books, and layers of fresh flowers and plants surround the slightly faded courtyard walls. The blue-gray temple ridges show a youthful charm in the sunlight. The ancient trees are bathed in the morning light. Bells chirping, birds chirping.
The area of Shangfo Temple is not large, but the age of the temple makes it stand on the top of the mountain like an old man, watching the world change day after day.
"Shangfo Temple was built before the Sixteen Kingdoms. At that time, Buddhist temples were prosperous, and there were countless temples..." Liu She briefly explained the information of Shangfo Temple, and took Jiang Pengji into the main hall, and performed Buddha salutes to a middle-aged monk. " Master Liaochen is there?"
"Master is already waiting for the two of you in the meditation room of the side hall, please come with Liu Shizhu and the little monk."
As if he had expected it, the monk in the gray robe returned a salute with a bit of humility and piety in his eyebrows.
Jiang Pengji was bored to observe the surroundings. At this time, there were already many worshippers in the main hall, including men and women, old and young, which added a bit of anger to this somewhat dull ancient temple. Just as he was thinking, he heard Liu She calling him.
After passing through a veranda, Jiang Pengji followed Liu She to the door of a Zen room.
Before she stepped in, she only heard the conversation between Liu She and an old monk from inside the house.
"Seven years of goodbye, Liu Shizhu will stay safe and sound."
Liu She replied calmly, "Everything is fine."
"Master Liu still has resentment in his heart, and it's hard to get well after thinking about it."
Jiang Pengji secretly laughed in her heart, listening to the old monk's words, he felt a little bit of a beating.
At this time, Liu She had some resentment in his words, "Since Master Chen already knows about it, why ask him knowingly?"
"This one, I think she is the beloved daughter of Liu donor and Gu donor?" The old monk saw Jiang Pengji entering, looked up, and then quickly lowered his head again, the speed of the bead in his hand was getting faster and faster, "It's good, good, Buddhism is quiet. Land, why did the benefactor come?"
Jiang Pengji felt inexplicable, and a faint coolness rose in her heart, as if something had been seen through, and she was very upset.
Because the live broadcast was relatively early, the audience came in after a while. When they saw this scene, someone couldn't help sending a barrage.
[Welcome to Afro-Chief Adventures]: The anchor is chatting with you, but any time-travel is one of the laws, and there must be an evil monk!
Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows secretly, although she didn't know what the law of time-travel was, the monk in front of him was indeed evil.
"Naturally, I followed my father to repay the vow. Otherwise, the master felt that it was such a good morning light that he didn't hide under the bed and fell asleep, so he was struggling to climb the mountain. What did he do here?" Jiang Pengji was inexplicable, but she still sat down on the futon beside Liu She with kindness.
Her words were considered disrespectful, but the respected old monk in front of him did not show any anger, but smiled charitably.
"Ziwei broke the army, and the emperor's spirit was looming, but the killing was too heavy, and it was too much." The old monk and the old god said in the ground, "The little donor has just stepped into the temple. The stone steps have worn a little bit of hostility, I'm afraid..."
