Chapter 1089 Revisiting the bitter monk (2)

At the end of June, it is time for tourists from the West Mountain to be full of tourists.

Seven or eight cars slowly drove into the parking lot at the foot of the West Mountain.

When they left the car, these people consciously surrounded a handsome young man and walked slowly up the mountain.

After Xishan was developed as a tourist attraction, many tourist facilities and buildings were built up and down the mountain. Concierges, small restaurants, tea rooms, etc. have been built one after another in recent years. They have brought convenience to tourists, but also added a lot of commercial atmosphere. Ye Zhiran can no longer find the artistic conception of empty mountains and valleys ten years ago, and only hearing the gurgling of the streams.

Before I arrived at Donglin Temple, I could hear the bells and chanting scriptures in the temple.

Cheng Guang introduced: "Shu Ye~Just, today it may be at the Donglin Temple meeting."

Ye Zhiran heard the chanting of scriptures and knew that there were not a few monks participating in this Dharma Assembly, at least twenty or thirty people. He asked: "Shu Cheng~ Remember, are there often such Dharma Assembly in Donglin Temple?"

"In recent years, it seems that there are more and more people. The Buddhist branch of the Yangtze River Province often organizes Buddhist exchanges and holds various Dharma meetings. Donglin Temple has become a relatively famous temple in Jiangnan."

There is a saying that if a mountain is not high and there is an immortal, it will be famous; if a water is not deep and there is a dragon, it will be spiritual.

Donglin Temple is famous all over the world and has a close relationship with the monk Kude.

Since he knew that Donglin Temple was conducting a ritual meeting, Ye Zhiran did not go to the temple first, but meandered up along the path by the mountain to find the source of the stream.

I have been busy with various affairs in Shaoan City, so I climbed the mountain leisurely and experienced the scenery, and was indescribable leisurely. Ye Zhiran smiled and said, "Mayor Jingyu, can you feel Tao Yuanming's state of mind here?"

"Oh?" Wang Jingyu chanted: "Building a hut is in the human world, but there is no noise from carriages and horses. How can you? Your heart is far away and you are far away. Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountains. The mountain is beautiful day and night, and the birds return together. There is a true meaning in this. I have forgotten to say it if I want to distinguish it."

"Haha, that's exactly what it means!"

There are all kinds of maple trees on the west mountain, which grow tall and colorful. Especially the ancient maple forest outside Donglin Temple, which has a history of hundreds of years.

Come down from the mountain and reach the middle of the mountain. It is the location of the ancient maple forest and Donglin Temple.

Ye Zhiran and others walked into the temple, but saw the fragrance of Donglin Temple was misty. Twenty or thirty monks were wearing cassocks and circled around the square outside the Yuantong Temple, making fingers on their hands. It was estimated that the Dharma Assembly was coming to an end. So they stood firm and watched the monks do their homework.

The monk's eyes were very vicious. All of them were outstanding in appearance and confident in their every move. They were not ordinary pilgrims. As soon as the Dharma Assembly ended, a monk in his twenties and thirties dressed in a dark coffee-colored cassock came up to ask questions. When he got closer, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said loudly: "Amitabha, I tell you who I am? It turns out that donor Ye and all donors have arrived."

Ye Zhiran recognized that this was the young monk Huikong who was originally, and smiled and said, "Master Huikong, where is Master Huide?"

"Master is in the hall, please come with me by donor Ye and all donors."

The monk Kuide saw Ye Zhiran and others entering the hall. He smiled and chanted the Buddha's name loudly: "Amitabha, donor Ye, I haven't seen you for a long time, please sit down and talk."

The monk's hair was completely white, and his eyebrows were gray and gray, but his complexion was rosy, and he looked like a god.

Because I had just finished becoming a mage, three scents of smoke were shrouded in the hall, and thirty or forty cushions were placed on the ground. I guess the monk was sitting here chanting scriptures just now. Ye Zhiran sat cross-legged in the cushion with a smile. Wang Jingyu learned from him and sat cross-legged beside Ye Zhiran.

Ye Zhiran said: "Master Kude, thank you for the tea you brought. This tea is picked from a century-old tea tree. There is an indescribable tea fragrance. After drinking this tea, I don't want to drink other teas."

"Amitabha, this tea tree was planted by Master Xuanzhi of Donglin Temple. Over the past hundred years, I absorbed the Buddha's light in the West Mountains and got the rain and dew of Donglin Temple. I also heard the bells in the morning and chanted scriptures in the evening. My nature was already empty and not stained with dust. I finally got such good tea."

Wang Jingyu said in surprise: "So that's it. No wonder every time I drink this tea, not only does it smell fragrant with my lips and teeth, but also feel relaxed and happy. It turns out that this tea has a great Buddha nature."

The monk Kude raised his palm and made a gesture of worshiping the Buddha, saying, "Amitabha, the donor of the king and donor are also a person who is destined to be with the Buddha, so he can empathize with it."

Wang Jingyu asked with a smile: "Master, I have heard that you are good at slapping people's past and present life. The little girl is stupid. Please give me a comment."

The monk Kuide looked up at Wang Jingyu. Wang Jingyu only felt that the monk Kuide's eyes were indescribable and deep, and his heart was filled with respect.

I only heard the monk Kude say, "My donor, your life is a blessing that depends on good fortune, and good fortune that lies in bad fortune."

After hearing this, Wang Jingyu felt a huge shock in her heart.

Looking back on my own experience, I should have been born into a senior general's family, which should have been smoother than ordinary people. Unexpectedly, I accidentally married into the Hou family and never even got married after marrying Hou Deshen. As a woman, is there a more miserable fate than this? Good fortune is hidden, and I am not bad at all! Then, for this reason, I resolutely betrayed the Hou family and came to the Yangtze River Province alone, starting from Changjia County as the grassroots town cadres, partnering with Ye Zhiran, supporting each other, and gradually walking out of a sunny road. Isn't this the misfortune and good fortune? For a moment, my face changed drastically, and my heart was ups and downs, and I felt awe of the monk Kude.

Looking at the old monk with all the hair and beards again, he was indeed the appearance of a Taoist monk!

Ye Zhiran smiled slightly, and when he saw Wang Jingyu's appearance, he knew that he had been fooled by this old monk.

He is a thorough atheist, and has known monk Kude for more than ten years and has already understood some of the techniques of monk Kude.

This monk has a very strong ability to observe words and expressions. Buddhism is profound and can be confirmed, but Ye Zhiran has never believed it if he can see the past and the future from the face of a person.

In the past, Zhang Nianyue, Ma Yanli, and Huang Yuwen had devoutly invited him to see the picture. In the old monk's mouth, these three women all had a very small relationship with him. They said that Huang Yuwen would marry him in the end; they said that Zhang Nianyue had a happy life, although there were minor twists and turns, but they were very lucky; they also said that Ma Yanli had a fate with him... Uh, it seems that he had said that Ma Yanli had a son before she was thirty-five, and this one was right. This old monk probably relied on observing words and expressions, and then said a few words that everyone had various understandings to deceive the world, right? With his ability to observe words and expressions, we can naturally see that Ma Yanli, Huang Yuwen and Zhang Nianyue had deep roots in love with him, and then went with the flow. The three women were very happy to hear his words, so they believed it especially.

Thinking of this, and then comparing the Jiyu that the monk Kude just said to Wang Jing... It turns out that it is another lie. What good fortune is caused by misfortune and misfortune, and this sentence is good to use anywhere!

However, he did not expose the diorama in front of the monk Kude.

But Wang Jingyu asked again: "Master, then look at Ye Shu again~ Remember, what is his future?"

...Although Ye Zhiran did not believe in the monk Kude, Wang Jingyu felt that he was worshipping the monk Kude at this time. The sentence just now made her feel enlightened, so she naturally wanted to ask about Ye Zhiran's situation. On the one hand, it can be confirmed by the monk Kude's words, and on the other hand, it really wants to know his future. After all, the fate of the two of them has been completely tied together since they attended Hou Delai's wedding banquet together, and they have been together for prosperity and loss.

The monk Kude recited another Buddha's name and said, "Amitabha, donor Ye has a noble destiny. I said a few years ago that he is now... a hidden dragon in the abyss."

Ye Zhiran almost laughed out loud. If you use any official in the dark dragon in the abyss or in the shallows, they will feel that it is super correct. Don’t say this comment to him, it is to give Chen Rong or Zhong Ping. Do they think it makes no sense? Human nature always overestimates itself and thinks that they will have a higher future in the future. This is actually a kind of hope, and the monk who suffers only expresses their hopes in their hearts and then makes them think of his profoundness.

...Wang Jingyu didn't see this way. When he heard the four-character evaluation of "The Dragon in the Abyss", he felt even more painful that the monk had a profound Taoism and profound Zen. She knew that Ye Zhiran had entered the sight of the central leadership, and the leaders of the regiment department also had a lot of eyes on him. In addition, his current background and political achievements would inevitably reach a high position in the future.

What does "The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss" mean? It means that Ye Zhiran's career will never stop at the provincial and ministerial level!

Wang Jingyu exclaimed happily: "The master is indeed wise, and he is a master of no vain!"

As soon as this comment came out, Chen Rong couldn't help but ask, "Master, how do you see me?"

The monk Kude couldn't say the kind-hearted eyes glanced at Chen Rong and said, "Amitabha. All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows; like dew and lightning, you should make such observations."

Chen Rong scratched his head and said, "Please explain it to you, Master."

"Good, good, donor, the Diamond Sutra says that all phenomena and things in the world that are formed by the combination of causes and conditions are temporary, as unreal as dreams and bubbles. Because things are composed of conditions, once the conditions for existence disappear, things disappear."

Chen Rong would think of Ye Zhiran any matter... Suddenly, he realized: "Gao! Master is indeed brilliant! My career path is what Ye Shu~ Ji gave it, and Ye Shu~ Ji is the condition for the existence of the career path. I understand!"

By chance, Chen Rong thought that the monk Kude was saying that his fate was closely linked to Ye Zhiran, so he must loyally protect Ye Zhiran's interests.

In the eyes of the monk Kude, Chen Rong and Ye Zhiran are completely different types of people. Therefore, the previous sentence was just a reminder to do more good deeds and not focus on the interests in the officialdom. At this time, seeing that he distorted his original intention, he couldn't help but say again: "All causes and conditions are the causes of the past and the results of the future. We should follow all causes and follow the conditions and not change the mind, and do not have troubles in all realms. If you like and hate, don't be too attached to them."

Chen Rong silently recited it, "The cause of the past, the result of the future", which is not bad! Doesn't the cause of the past mean that he has been following Ye Zhiran? The result of the future is naturally the meaning of Ye Zhiran to always support him. So he nodded repeatedly and said, "Master, I understand it."

Ye Zhiran couldn't help but smile and said, "Monk, what do you say now? Others regard you as gods. It seems that you should be careful when you speak and do things."
