Part 1 Chapter 3 The Old Monk
"I'll just pick it up, why does that little thing look so delicious?" Zhang Chen went back to the bedroom, covered his body and head with a quilt, and the first thing he thought about was eating.
"What's wrong with me? In this case, I should be so scared that I'm so scared that I'm wet. I'm not afraid, I'm actually thinking about eating that thing, and why do I think it's delicious if I think it's so disgusting?" Zhang Chen knocked his head hard to tell him not to think about what to eat. At the same time, he slowly lifted the quilt and carefully poked his head out to look at the situation in his bedroom. After finding that there was nothing abnormal, he retracted it into the quilt.
"If those things were real just now, that little thing seemed to be afraid of me, why?" Zhang Chen replayed all the process from school to the present in his head.
"Wait, if what happened in my house is true, the man by the bridge dug out my heart and put a black bead into the position of my heart, would it be true?"
Zhang Chen couldn't help but feel cold because of his thoughts. He quickly pressed the wrist artery of the right hand with his index finger and middle finger. After 10 seconds, Zhang Chen's face changed drastically because he couldn't feel the beating of his heart in the pulse of his right hand.
"Did you really take away the heart? I remember the center of blood circulation in the heart. Without the heart, the blood in the whole body cannot flow at all. Although I read and make soy sauce, I know this basic common sense. Do I use that black bead as my heart now?" Zhang Chen wanted to go crazy because he couldn't bear what happened in these few hours today.
"Don't worry, anyway, I'm not dead, at worst, I can die. Anyway, I can become a ghost if I die, and I'm afraid of being yarn. Tomorrow afternoon, I will only miss Erwa, and Tan Fei goes to the Internet cafe. I have to figure this out. Go to bed first, and I'll do the job tomorrow." Zhang Chen cleared his brain and fell asleep with a too much head.
…………
"Ding ~Ding ~"
Zhang Chen habitually sat up from the bed. It was 6:30, and it was not yet dawn in spring. Because he was still scared of what happened in the middle of the night yesterday. After putting on his clothes, he slowly opened the door. After finding nothing strange outside, he gently pushed open the door of his parents and saw his parents sleeping soundly on the bed. Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt that the cold air on his father seemed to be a little more than when he fell asleep yesterday.
"It seems that my father is the only one who is affected by this thing. Why are my mother and I okay? It seems that we have to solve it quickly. I remember that the man in black said he asked me to go to the temple to see it. Then I had to lose all my money this afternoon and not go online. I remember that my mother would go to a Sanxue Temple before, and go to see it after school in the afternoon."
After thinking about it, Zhang Chen was going to wash his face and rinse his mouth. After walking two steps, he came to the bathroom door.
"I was depressed. Why did the toilet be repaired with the toilet? In the future, I made money and I must separate the toilet from the toilet when I bought a house. Damn, don't worry, the little thing ran out again and I ate it."
When Zhang Chen thought of the swollen baby, his stomach was hungry again. He had to cover his stomach with one hand and open the bathroom door with the other. The hellish scene last night had disappeared, and it was the clean bathroom, but the cold and harsh aura still existed. Zhang Chen looked at the toilet while brushing his teeth, and always felt that something would crawl out.
"Gulu" When brushing teeth and washing your face was about to end, a sound came from Zhang Chen's stomach.
"At this time, you actually asked me to go to the big size. What should I do if that little thing is just analm. Forget it, I'll endure it and go to the public toilet in the community to solve the problem. You must solve this problem early, otherwise you will have to go downstairs to go to the toilet in the future." Zhang Chen was really angry and scared, so he had to take the equipment and go downstairs to the school.
…………
Zhang Chen chose to walk on the bridge. If the man in black was still by the bridge last night, try to inquire about his family if he could meet him. After coming out of WC, he felt relaxed, but his empty stomach felt even worse. He rode his bike and thought about the fat rice noodles at the school gate, and rushed away.
In less than 5 minutes, Zhang Chen arrived in front of Jinshui Bridge. The man in black did not see it, but saw the policeman in blue. Because it was still early, there were only Zhang Chen and a 70-year-old man besides the police.
Zhang Chen naturally realized something, and quickly pretended to be a good student who was curious and ran to a policeman who was about 30 years old and had a public face.
"Uncle, what's going on here?"
"Go to school if you have nothing to do," the policeman replied perfunctorily when he saw Zhang Chen wearing a school uniform.
Zhang Chen had no choice but to bet, so he pretended to be thinking.
"Uncle, I went home from evening study at 10 o'clock last night and saw a man in a black windbreaker standing by the bridge without moving. I thought it was a ghost. Did something happen to this person?"
When the policeman heard this, his face changed. He quickly turned around and whispered to Zhang Chen to talk to him. So the two of them came to the street lights on the side of the road.
"Little brother, please give me a detailed report on the specific situation of passing this bridge last night." After the police said that, he took out a pen and a note from his chest pocket.
"When I came to the bridge, it was around 10:00. Because the street lights on the bridge were broken, I didn't notice the man in black when I rode halfway through the bridge. I saw someone standing by the bridge. After I got off the bridge, I jumped and went home without stopping." Zhang Chen naturally would not tell the story of himself and the man jumping to the river and jumping down to save people. It was not that he couldn't tell, but that the police would think he was teasing him and would not have the chance to ask for information.
"Well, is that man standing inside or outside the bridge railing?" the policeman continued to ask.
"I think about it, um... it should be inside, yes, it's inside." Zhang Chen was stunned by this question and quickly answered vaguely.
The police didn't take Zhang Chen too seriously. After asking about the situation, they turned around and left.
"Wait for a moment, uncle, what happened to the man in black?" Zhang Chen immediately asked when he saw the policeman leaving.
"Drowned." The policeman didn't want to talk nonsense, so he left after leaving three words.
After hearing this, Zhang Chen stood there in a daze.
"This man in black is not a ghost, but he really committed suicide. So how did I come back from the water to the bridge?" Zhang Chen was stunned for a long time, and then asked quickly: "Uncle, did he commit suicide?"
"It was initially determined that it was suicide. It is not ruled out that the possibility of killing him is not ruled out. Don't ask too much, you kid, go to school quickly." After answering Zhang Chen's question helplessly, the police waved his hand to signal Zhang Chen to leave.
After getting the answer he wanted, Zhang Chen stopped staying and headed straight to the school. The aunt's fat intestine noodles at the school gate was his favorite. Zhang Chen, who was so hungry, ordered a big bowl of fat intestine noodles when he came to the door. After a few bites, he burped. After patting his stomach, he felt very hungry again, but he clearly felt that his stomach was full of things. To explain it a little, it was "I was physically satisfied, but I was not mentally satisfied."
In the early morning, there was a loud sound of reading in the classroom, and I also wanted to join the ranks of these academic masters and make a sigh of relief for my parents. However, whenever I picked up the textbook, a very uncomfortable feeling came. I felt upset just when I saw it, let alone read it aloud.
At this time, two figures flashed from the door of the classroom to Zhang Chen. Wang Banhua, who was concentrating on her right, moved the chair again. Naturally, these two people were Erwa and Tan Fei.
"Brother Chen, what time did you play with Lu Ba last night?" Tan Fei, who was covered in flesh on his face, said with an evil smile.
"Talking about your brother-in-law, my brother didn't go home at 10 o'clock yesterday, so you two ran away first." Zhang Chen got used to it and was too lazy to bother with this scoundrel fat man.
"Oh, I thought of going online this afternoon, my second brother and I will go back to rest first. My second brother and I have discussed it. Then each person will pay one dollar to buy a can of Coke for Brother Chen to suppress my shock." Tan Fei said while patting Zhang Chen's shoulders. Not to mention that it was too disgusting, Erwa stood aside without saying a word, as if it was interesting to see the two of them bickering.
If it were the past, Zhang Chen would naturally have a quarrel with these two brothers again. However, at this time, Zhang Chen held hands with his hands and pressed his chin and thought, "Don't tell them what happened last night to them. Tan Fei will definitely not believe it. Even if Erwa believes it, it may not be helpful. It would be better if it drags them down. I'll do it myself."
"I have something to do this afternoon, you two are just here." Zhang Chen said suddenly.
"Chen Wazi, you always lie to me when you don't go online." Before Tan Fei could speak, Erwa spoke first.
Zhang Chen knew that these two would not give up easily, so he had to shake his head and said
"Hey, I want to go too, but my dad was hospitalized last night. Today, my mom is going to work night shift, so I'll go to guard it."
"Well, let's call you again on weekends." The two knew that Zhang Chen was not less addicted to online than them. Besides, when it comes to contacting relatives, there was nothing they could do.
When Zhang Chen saw that the two of them returned to their seats, he stopped talking and began to consider the afternoon trip.
…………
Time for soy sauce passes quickly, and it is the afternoon time for school to finish
"Lin~~~~~" The bell rang. Erwa and Tan Fei patted Zhang Chen's shoulders and ran out of the classroom door as if they were crazy. Zhang Chen slowly packed his schoolbag, like a good student. He was definitely the first poor student to rush out of the classroom, but he actually packed his schoolbag here carefully, which made Wang Banhua on the side stunned and looked at Zhang Chen from time to time. Zhang Chen couldn't help but have a trace of fantasy when he saw Wang Banhua's surprised gaze.
"Did I quit the game and study hard and I can have an affair with Pancake Wang? If..." After finishing, Zhang Chen found that there was no sign of his eyes in the position where his eyes fell. He smiled, touched his head, and carried his schoolbag and left the classroom.
These Sanxue Temples, I heard from Zhang Chen’s mother that they had existed long before the county was established. Many people in the county, who were over 50 years old, would go to Sanxue Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha every year to seek peace in the new year. Zhang’s mother also believed in these Sanxue Temples very much, and she had to ask Zhang Chen for more than ten signs in recent years.
Zhang Chen rode his bike and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain where the temple was located. A 5-minute mountain road was found and he saw the temple gate with the three big words "Sanxue Temple" written on it. Maybe it was too late, there was no one at the gate, and the door was just vaguely open.
I first poked my head out and looked at it. There was no one in the courtyard, which was very deserted, but the ground was very clean and there were no fallen leaves. It was obvious that someone had just cleaned it. Zhang Chen gently pushed open the door and stepped into the courtyard. A gust of wind blew over. He was already in a heavy mood and rushed over. He suddenly calmed down and felt much more comfortable.
"It seems that this place is very unusual, but where are the monks here going? It's hard to go down the mountain to have a dinner and sing K?"
Zhang Chen took two steps and looked at the main hall in front of him. As soon as he stepped into the hall, Zhang Chen felt that someone was staring at him. Looking around, he didn't notice anything unusual. Zhang Chen didn't care too much, and walked to the Buddha statue and knelt on his knees, bowing and bowing.
"The little donor is really a very human being." A voice came from behind Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen was shocked and turned around and saw that it was a white-bearded monk holding a bamboo broom.
"Master, I saw that there was no one in the Sanxue Temple, so I came in private. Please don't blame me." Zhang Chen quickly stood up respectfully and said.
"The temple is owned by the people of the world, and there is no blame or blame. Did the little donor feel anything?" said the old monk.
"Master, when I walked into this Main Hall, I felt someone watching me, and it felt very weak, sometimes without any." Zhang Chen replied honestly.
"Little donor, do you know that there are so many temples across the country, why are there times when Buddhas appear in various places?" the old monk asked again.
"I'll ask for advice from the master."
"After each temple is built, many Buddhist disciples will open an altar in front of the Buddha statue in this Main Hall to recite scriptures, which means consecration. Then, a consciousness of the Buddha will attach to the Buddha statue. Only the temple that has been opened can be considered a real temple." The old monk looked at the Buddha statue and said,
"What the master said, is it the Buddha watching me?" Zhang Chen had experienced too many things, and he believed the existence of the Buddha at once, and at the same time he also looked back at the Buddha statue.
"The Buddha was staring at everyone, but the little donor felt the Buddha's gaze, so I said that the little donor is an extraordinary person." The old monk seemed to have something in his words, and Zhang Chen didn't care too much.
"Master, I actually have something to ask for, I don't know if the master can believe it." Zhang Chen was about to speak
"Let me tell me"
"This is the thing,..." Zhang Chen told the story of the bathroom at home in one go, but did not mention what happened on the bridge.
"Does the master think I'm talking nonsense?" Zhang Chen said embarrassedly after he finished speaking.
"As long as you think that exists, it is there, so how can you talk nonsense?" the old monk touched his beard and said.
"Then master, can you help me remove the unclean things at home?" Zhang Chen asked anxiously.
"I am also an ordinary person and can't help much. Little donor, do you know why this temple is named Sanxue Temple? Because there are three studies in Buddhism, which refer to the first learning to use precepts to stop evil and cultivate good; the second learning to use calm breath to clear the mind; the third learning to use wisdom to break the confusion and achieve enlightenment. I said from the beginning that the little donor is an extraordinary person. If I understand what I said, I will definitely turn bad luck into good fortune by myself. Moreover, the thing described by the little donor is probably a resentful ghost transformed by resentment. If the little donor can find its roots and stop resentment, it will be able to transform itself." The old monk said with a smile.
"Can I solve it myself? But..." Zhang Chen was a little anxious when he saw that the master was unwilling to help. He was about to say that, but he interrupted the old monk again
"No need to say more. When the little donor first entered the temple, he devoted himself to worshiping Buddha, there is a peace talisman to you. This talisman can only be relieved for a while, and the rest depends on the little donor himself. It is getting late, so the little donor should go home quickly." After the old monk finished speaking, he took out a yellow talisman paper and a small bag from the monk's robe, folded the talisman paper and put it into the bag, and gave it to Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen scratched his head again, took the small bag and put it in his schoolbag. He didn't force it, and said, "Thank you, Master." He bowed and left. He suddenly remembered something halfway through the walk, turned around and asked.
"Master, don't you know what your name is?"
"I'm just a magic name, Puhu." A voice came from the hall.
