Chapter 29 Liu Ye Shui, visiting Lingqing Temple (fifth update)
The Sanskrit sound lasted for a long time before gradually stopping.
The two couples were anxiously wandering back and forth in front of the Huayan Hall. When they heard the abbot's chanting stopped, they all stepped forward, eager to check what was going on inside.
However, as soon as they took two steps forward, they were stopped by the monk guarding the door.
"Sorry, donor, this is an important part of the temple and tourists are not allowed to enter."
Looking at the determined monk, the couple had no choice but to stop and look into the hall from time to time. Even if they couldn't see it, they very much hoped that the abbot would come out as soon as possible.
As parents, now they don’t know the specific situation of their children, which makes them feel extremely panicked.
In the Huayan Hall, Abbot Huiming opened his eyes with a calm face.
"You're just possessed by an evil spirit, but you dare to do something wrong, huh."
Abbot Huiming raised his head with a smile, stood up slowly, and walked towards the desk.
When he saw the child who looked about six or seven years old on the desk, the gloominess on his face disappeared, his frown relaxed, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
A trace of pride appeared on his kind face.
Lingqing Temple was able to rise rapidly in just a dozen years. Abbot Huiming largely relied on external forces.
He knew this, but during this period, he also continued to study and delve into the truth of Buddhism.
Now that he has truly cured this child by relying solely on his own abilities, Abbot Huiming is very satisfied.
But just when Abbot Huiming reached out to hug the child and prepared to return him, he discovered that the child's hands and feet were still cold.
"You haven't recovered yet?"
Abbot Huiming raised his eyebrows in confusion. In order to avoid any accidents, he thought it would be better to wake up the child first.
But then, no matter how the abbot called, the child closed his eyes tightly, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep, and could not hear other sounds at all.
This strangeness made Abbot Huiming frown, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Pa bang bang..."
Seeing that he couldn't do it, Abbot Huiming simply reached out and patted the child's butt. After that, to no avail, he patted the soles of the feet and pinched the child.
I tried every possible method I could think of, but the result was still the same, the child just couldn't wake up.
It seems that this evil has been driven away, but not driven away.
"how so?"
At this moment, Abbot Huiming couldn't help but feel a little flustered and puzzled.
He had seen the situation of being possessed by evil spirits in Buddhist scriptures and learned how to deal with it.
It's not like I haven't dealt with situations like this before.
But now, after following this set of procedures, the child is getting better, but it is not completely cured.
"What on earth did this child touch? Why can't the evil spirit be driven away?"
Abbot Huiming couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, and the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of eagerness.
Everything that can be done has been done.
If word of this bad governance spreads, it will undoubtedly seriously affect the reputation and reputation of Lingqing Temple, which will be extremely detrimental to future development.
In fact, looking at this child, Abbot Huiming felt regretful in his heart. He should not have stepped forward to help solve the problem. With so many tourists watching, he shot himself in the foot.
But as soon as this idea appeared in his mind, he suppressed it.
"Amitabha Buddha saves all sentient beings and saves suffering. How can we stand by and watch?"
After comforting himself for a moment, Abbot Huiming suddenly raised his head and looked at the statue of the Three Saints Buddha in front of him, and he became entangled in his heart.
"That's all, it's not the behavior of a poor monk to refuse to save someone."
After exhaling and making up his mind, Abbot Huiming walked to the center, under the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, and reached out to touch inside.
With a "click!", a hidden compartment opened, and Abbot Huiming took out a jade porcelain vase with delicate texture with both hands, with a willow branch inserted inside.
As soon as I took it out, a majestic and dense smell spread out, making people feel refreshed and refreshed, as if the surrounding environment had entered spring, like a spring breeze.
However, the willow branch was gradually withering, leaving only a few willow leaves, and one leaf was mostly withered and yellow, and seemed to be about to fall off.
Seeing this, Abbot Huiming felt very distressed.
Over the years, Lingqing Temple has been famous in the south of the Yangtze River for its ability to respond to requests and be efficacious in all things. The reason why it can be efficacious in everything depends on this aura-rich willow branch.
Just placing it in a temple can make the whole temple come alive, and the Buddha statues seem to come alive. Praying and worshiping them are really useful.
In the past, he had tried every means to restore the vitality of these willow branches.
But no matter which method was used, it was of no avail, and even accelerated its withering several times.
This frightened Abbot Huiming so much that he did not dare to act rashly anymore, so he could only support it well, hoping that it would wither as slowly as possible.
"You are lucky."
Although Abbot Huiming felt that using willow water to save this child was overkill, he had no other choice now, and it was impossible not to save him.
Abbot Huiming took a deep breath, carefully took out the willow branch from the jade porcelain bottle, then dipped some water in the bottle and sprinkled some on the child's face.
The water from the willow branches looks ordinary, no different from ordinary water.
But when the water dripped on the child's face, a magical scene happened. Two touches of ruddy color reappeared on the pale face, and the color of the lips gradually recovered.
Compared with Abbot Huiming's chanting sutras to drive away evil spirits just now, this is just a gentle sweep with a willow branch, and the effect is not very good at all.
In just a moment, the child opened his eyes, his face was rosy and he was full of energy.
"Where am I?"
The child rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned, and looked around suspiciously.
"This is Lingqing Temple. The poor monk will take you to meet your parents."
Seeing that the child finally woke up, Abbot Huiming breathed a sigh of relief and felt happy at the same time.
At this time, Abbot Huiming suddenly discovered that most of the willow leaves on the willow branch were completely yellow.
As he swayed, the yellow willow leaves gradually fell to the ground and disappeared.
Abbot Huiming's body ached when he saw this, but he had no choice but to carefully put the willow branch back into the hidden compartment.
Then, he took the child with his hand and walked out of the temple.
"Daddy, Mommy!"
Outside the Huayan Hall, when the couple saw their children walking out holding Abbot Huiming's hand, they burst into tears of excitement.
The mother hugged the child tightly and cried with joy.
"Thank you abbot, thank you abbot!"
The middle-aged man knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, his face full of gratitude.
"Abbot Huiming is so clever. You should keep the incense money first. You have time today. I didn't bring much. I will definitely make up for it someday!"
"It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of hands."
When Abbot Huiming saw the wad of banknotes, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and his heart ached, and he felt a little better.
However, he didn't show it and just waved his hand.
The monk watching on the side very wisely accepted the incense money for the abbot.
"Thank you Abbot!"
Far at the foot of the Lingqing Temple mountain, Su Yang looked up and saw a hundred-meter-long staircase from low to high.
Even though it was already evening, there were still tourists coming and going on the steps.
“Lingqing Temple is really lively!”
