So, Fang Zheng and Jiang Zhou got together and looked at the leisurely Jiang Zhou beside them. Fang Zheng looked at the roof of the shed speechlessly and thought bitterly: "I am still young, how can I become an old man? Cry!"
After watching the military parade in the morning, Fang Zheng returned to Yizhi Mountain. As for the Lone Wolf, Red Boy, Squirrel, and Monkey who still wanted to play at the foot of the mountain, Fang Zheng didn't stop them and just let them go.
A man opened the door of Yizhi Temple, walked into the temple, sat under the Bodhi tree, looked up at the Bodhi tree, Fang Zheng felt like he was in a trance and dream. Gently stroking the bodhi tree, he whispered: "They say life is like a dream. This poor monk has really been like a dream this year. If you hadn't been the same as before, the poor monk would have pinched himself to see if you were there too. It was a dream. You came from the south and took root in Yizhi Mountain seeking death. Now you are alive. I hope more miracles will happen to you, Amitabha."
Unfortunately, the Bodhi tree is the Bodhi tree, and this world is not suitable for practice. Without demons and ghosts, the Bodhi tree cannot respond to Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng just expressed his emotions, shook his head, walked into the Buddhist hall, beat the big wooden fish, and read scriptures.
This was the first time in a long time that only Fang Zheng was in the temple, and it was also the first time it was so quiet. While Fangzheng was chanting sutras, he could clearly feel the breeze blowing through the courtyard, the sound of flapping the leaves of the Bodhi tree, and the coolness brushing against his ears.
Smell the fragrance...
Fang Zheng's heart became calmer and calmer, and finally he forgot everything. There was only the Sutra and the Tao in his heart, without self or form. At the same time, the things you did during the day are replayed in your mind. Every move and the Dharma confirm each other. It becomes clear at a glance what you did right and what you did wrong.
Fang Zheng's heart trembled. Is this a clear understanding of one's nature
As a result, I was shocked and woke up from that special state. Fang Zheng wanted to find that feeling again, but he couldn't anymore, because...
"Come here!" An angry shout came from outside the temple, and then a man with gray hair, sallow skin, wearing a dark blue shirt, camouflage pants, and a pair of muddy rain boots pulled angrily. A half-grown boy came to the gate of the temple.
The man was very angry, but there was more helplessness deep in his eyes.
Fang Zheng heard the sound and walked out, and finally saw the boy following the man. The boy was very thin and not tall. His hair was dyed a less obvious yellow. His eyes were full of stubbornness and dissatisfaction. He was struggling hard. He stood up, trying to break free from the man's hand.
"Amitabha, two donors, what's the matter?" Fang Zheng stepped forward.
"Master Fang Zheng, we are here to find you." The man's expression softened slightly when he saw Fang Zheng.
Fang Zheng looked at the man carefully. He looked more and more familiar. He seemed to be from a nearby village, but the man in Fang Zheng's impression was not that old! Why do people in their thirties look like they are in their fifties
"Is the donor Liu Hongyun?" Fang Zheng asked.
"It's me..." Liu Hongyun looked bitter. This was not the first time someone had asked him this. He had been asked too many times along the way up the mountain.
Fangzheng was stunned, and it turned out to be the Liu Hongyun he was familiar with! Liu Hongyun is not from Yizhi Village, but from the next village. Liu Hongyun should be thirty-eight years old this year, in his prime. But the Liu Hongyun in front of him looked like an old man in his fifties! The difference between before and after is also too big.
"Master Fang Zheng, it's hard to explain in one sentence." Liu Hongyun knew why Fang Zheng was in a daze, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart, but what could he do
"Amitabha, two benefactors, come in and sit down." Fang Zheng stepped aside and invited the two of them to enter the temple and sit on the bamboo chairs under the bodhi tree.
Liu Hongyun's son Liu Beijun also stopped struggling after entering the temple. For some reason, he relaxed a lot after entering. After seeing Fang Zheng, he completely calmed down. He quietly sat down with Liu Hongyun, lowering his head slightly and not looking at anyone. No one knew what he was thinking.
Several people sat down, but Fang Zheng didn't say anything and waited quietly. He knew that since Liu Hongyun was here, he must have something to say.
Sure enough, after calming down for a while, Liu Hongyun sighed and said: "Master Fangzheng, please help me persuade my son. He doesn't want to go to school. You said... How can he not go to school? What can he do if he doesn't go to school? Do you also farm like me?"
Liu Beijun said dissatisfied: "What's wrong with farming? Farming is better than going to school. What's the good thing about going to school? So many people go to school, and when they come back, they don't just stay at home and grow old."
"You... you can only farm if you can't get into college!" Liu Hongyun said angrily.
"I think farming is very good. Look at my classmates, how happy they are after not studying. They ride motorcycles to play around. Now when they go to our school, no one has to give a little face. The teachers all eat with them. This is no better than in school. Is it strong?" Liu Beijun said matter-of-factly.
"Those are social gangsters. What can you do if you hang out with them?" Liu Hongyun said.
"You are so good, but you are not just farming. I don't want to go to school anyway, so it's useless to say anything. I just want to be free, and I don't want to be in that big cage anymore. It's useless for you to look for anyone!" Liu Beijun made it clear too much. , just don’t study, just love whatever you want.
Liu Hongyun was not good at words, so he was speechless when Liu Beijun slapped him. He became angry and wanted to slap him.
Fang Zheng quickly stopped him and said, "Amitabha, donor, you can't solve the problem by taking action."
"Hit, beat! Always beat! What else can you do besides beating me? Other people's children can ride motorcycles to school, but I can only ride a bicycle! Other people's children can buy tablets, but I can only use a diary! You You don't have the ability, why are you here to take care of me?" Liu Beijun scratched his neck and shouted with a red face.
"You... you! I'll beat you to death!" Liu Hongyun was furious. It was okay to do this at home, but to do it in front of others in the temple was so embarrassing! He can't afford to lose this person!
Fang Zheng quickly stopped him and politely asked him to calm down or at least not to do anything, so he said, "Donor, it is not appropriate to do anything in the temple."
When Liu Hongyun heard this, he nodded as expected, and then pulled Liu Beijun to go out: "Okay, I'll go out and fight."
Fang Zheng: “…”
After Fang Zheng's persuasion, Liu Hongyun finally calmed down, sat there and said angrily: "You should learn from Master Fang Zheng, and then look at you!"
Liu Beijun muttered: "Fang Zheng also dropped out of school halfway."
Liu Hongyun was stunned. He had only been thinking about Fang Zheng's achievements before, but for a moment he forgot that Fang Zheng was also a brat who dropped out of school! It seems that I found the wrong reference target...
Fang Zheng looked helpless. This is a trap.
