Lotus Temple.
Because the temple is not well-known, it is not popular at ordinary times. Except for a very small number of loyal believers who come to burn incense and worship the Buddha before the Buddha's birthday, almost no one pays attention to it most of the year.
But tomorrow, there will be several young guests at the door of Lotus Temple.
"Brother, where is it? He asked someone -----"
"Even if I don't become a monk, I still want to find a better temple - I look at the shabby temple door, it looks like it will be demolished if I push it -"
"Third sister, why do you shut up? Have they come to ask for Xiaoxiao to be taken back----"
------
An Teng ignored the arguments between his cousins and looked at the Lotus Temple deep in the mountains, then took a step forward and clapped the copper door lock on the wooden door.
After filming for a long time, no one responded.
"Is there anyone?" An Xiaojun was grumpy and jumped up and shouted loudly into the temple. "Everyone inside is deaf?"
Crunch----
The wooden door opened, and a skinny old nun looked at the young people at the door and asked, "Will the donors come to burn incense?"
"Looking for someone." An Teng was too lazy to talk to the nuns and said, "They begged to find Phoenix."
"Donor, there is no phoenix in the small temple-----" the old nun said expressionlessly.
"Fart." An Xiaojun squeezed past the old nanny, stood in the yard and shouted loudly: "Phoenix, Phoenix-----I'll come out----"
The old man was so thin that he almost fell to the ground when An Xiaojun hit him hard.
An Teng was very quick-witted and stretched out his legs to support the old nun, and said: "That master's wife, they are all members of Fenghuang's family. They have a very important matter to discuss with her——"
"There is indeed no phoenix in this hospital----" the old nun said seriously. "Anyone who does not enter his Buddhist door will have all the past forgotten. Now he has a heart dedicated to serving the Buddha and a body that is free from seven emotions and six desires-----"
"Brother, don't talk nonsense with that old nun." An Xiaojun was obviously impatient to listen to the old nun talking about some Buddhist sayings, and said: "Don't they know it by asking people to go in and look around? That old nun How big is the temple?"
An Xiaojun swung his legs, and the two black bodyguards following them ran straight towards the backyard.
"No need to look for it." A clear voice came. "Where is he."
Fenghuang, who was dressed in light gray robes, walked over quickly, stood in front of the two bodyguards in black, and said, "Buddhist Pure Land, we are not allowed to make noises there."
When the two bodyguards in black saw the eldest lady appearing, they naturally did not dare to break into the Buddhist hall and the backyard where the nuns lived.
"That old guy really wants to lie to people----" An Xiaojun grinned and said: "They already knew where I was hiding. Sister, go back with them----"
"Shut up." Phoenix shouted softly.
"------"
"Sister, I don't want to be angry." An Yuan walked up to Fenghuang, stretched out his legs to hold her arms, and said: "Sister, if Xiaojun has good intentions, I don't want to be angry with him. I have been away from home for several months. , everyone is worried about me. They finally found it, so do you want to take me back----sister, go back with them?"
Phoenix shook his head and said, "That's his home. Where do you want to go back?"
"Sister, do I really want to be a nun?" An Yuan thought this was something difficult to understand. With a family like theirs, what reason would there be to become a vegetarian nun
"If your heart is filled with despair, it won't be painful to go back. It's not as good as the Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng, who will end his life." Phoenix said resolutely.
An Teng stood in the distance and looked at his sister An Xiaoxiao. He hadn't seen her for a while, and her appearance had become a little thinner, but her facial features were still as delicate as water. She wore a loose robe and had an ethereal and otherworldly feeling.
Her eye sockets were sunken and her eye circles were dark. It seemed that her sleep quality was very poor during that period of confinement.
Is there something that made her give up hope of life, and is she still unable to sleep in that Buddhist pure land
Because An Teng is very capable and intelligent enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family, he does not know many things. Although I can make some guesses in my mind, compared with the actual crowding situation, it is still very different----
If he knew the truth, why would he provoke and curse Fang Yan in front of him at the Palace Hotel
An Teng looked at An Xiaoxiao and said softly: "Sister, go back with him."
"Brother----" Fenghuang glanced at Itan and said, "He has already made up his mind. How about we not force him? Even if he doesn't...he is the last thing he asked us for."
"I should be clear that no one will accept my decision." An Teng said in a deep voice. "The An family's daughter has never become a nun. Do I know what they think of them after that incident happened? Go back and explain everything to your family clearly. My grandparents and the elders in the family all like me. ----How could they bear to let me suffer any injustice?"
They all like me, how can they bear to let me suffer any injustice
Hearing those words, Phoenix almost burst into tears.
Could it be that what she endured was not considered a grievance
Because of family interests, she cannot be with the boy she likes.
Because of their decision, they asked to act with a man they didn't like.
It's not because of them that they can do nothing when their cruel man's life is in danger----
If those are not grievances, then what are they
Does it hurt? Murder
No, they have all killed their feelings, their hearts, and their hopes for future life.
Killed the sunshine, rain and dew, and killed the chirping of flowers, birds and insects. Her world was dark.
"There are some things-----" Phoenix tried hard not to cry. After adjusting her mood during that period and being blessed by the power of Buddhist scriptures, she was able to remain calm and calm at that time. She raised her head to prevent the tears that had reached the corners of her eyes from falling, and said, "I can't explain clearly."
"Xiaoxiao----" An Teng was a little angry and said, "What is it? Why can't you explain it clearly? They are all a family. If we all bear the responsibility together, it is better than me holding it in my heart alone. Much better, right? He knows, isn't he just a man? He has told me a long time ago that Fang Yan is not a good person and asked me to keep a distance from him, but I just don't believe it——Bu Na After all, I'm very young. How can you say that? Which woman hasn't been cruel to a few idiots when she was young - I just treat him as an idiot who doesn't know how to cherish me. "
After a pause, An Teng continued: "When we met last time, he had already taught him a lesson for me. I begged him to feel suffocated in his heart. When he returned to Yanjing, he and Xiaojun would go and fight with him. Fight. He doesn’t believe it. He, a poor boy from a mountain village, can challenge our Anjia, right?"
"Am I looking for Fang Yan?" Fenghuang was shocked.
"If you encounter him, of course you should teach him a lesson." An Teng said confidently. "Since he dares to do it, is he afraid that they will say he can't do it?"
"I----" Fengqiu was so angry that he couldn't speak, and said, "What qualifications do we have to trouble someone?"
"Xiao Xiao----" An Teng's face turned dark and he said angrily: "How can I shut up with my brother? Until now, I have been speaking for him?"
Phoenix sighed softly and said: "Forget it, let's go back ---"
She looked at An Xiaojun, An Yuan and others and said, "He accepts our wishes, but he really doesn't want to go back. That family can't tolerate him----"
"Sister, I'll just go back with them-----" An Yuan grabbed Fenghuang's legs and arms, trying to drag her back by force.
"Xinyuan----" Fenghuang looked at Annyuan calmly and said, "Do I want him to die?"
"sister-----"
"He can't go back." Phoenix smiled sadly. "He will die if he goes back----he will really die-----"
"------"
------
An Teng left with his cousins, full of anger and unwillingness.
However, when they left, they still wrote a large check to the Lotus Temple, hoping that the temple could improve Yidong's living conditions. In any case, they didn't want Phoenix to suffer too much injustice there.
What they don't know is that Fenghuang's grievances are not in food, clothing, housing and transportation, but in his heart.
After sending An Teng and others away, Fenghuang closed the door of the temple and helped the old nun walk towards the Buddhist hall.
"Master Jinghui, are they too rude? Am I okay?"
"Worship the Buddha with all your heart and spit on yourself - how can you have the same understanding as those secular people?" The old nun smiled and waved his legs. "Do I really want to spend the rest of my life in that Lotus Temple? Is it wrong or disrespectful to the Buddha to say that, but I want to say something more - I am young, beautiful, and have great talents. Families really don’t need to take that path.”
"Master Jinghui, his heart is already dead, what do other things have to do with him?" Phoenix shook his head and sighed.
The old nun smiled, and the wrinkles on his face stretched like orange peel, and said: "What if the heart is really dead? How can there be sighs? How can one be sad and cry when seeing relatives?"
"Master Jinghui-----"
"Silly boy-----" the old nun stroked Phoenix's head and said: "People often say that there is no greater sorrow than the death of the heart. But if the heart is really dead, how can there be so much sadness? How many people really feel sad? Is it enough to give up the prosperity of the world, relatives and friends and become a lonely chanter? Since you can’t let go, then go out. My brother is wrong, there is nothing in the world that cannot be solved? "
Phoenix shook his head and said: "Master Jinghui, I don't need to persuade him anymore - he won't go back - the confinement period in the Lotus Temple was the time when his heart was at its most peaceful."
"Don't try to lie to anyone." The old nun stretched out his legs and stroked Phoenix's eyes, and said, "If you beat me in, how can I have a peaceful sleep?" It's the thought that keeps me awake all night. My heart is not with the Buddha, but with the man outside. Buddha is always there, but the man outside may not always be waiting for me. "
"------" Phoenix looked sad and his heart was like a thorn.
