Because the curtains were not fully closed last night, a ray of sunlight shined through the curtains just above Wu Wen's eyelids.
Stimulated by the light, Wu Wen's eyelids trembled up and down. The next second, her eyes slowly opened, and her hazy eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze.
"Um……"
As soon as Wu Wen woke up, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand and put it on her forehead.
The tingling sensation between his eyebrows made his originally confused mind a little clearer.
Wu Wen slowly got out of bed, raised her head and looked around. It took a while before she remembered where her bathroom was.
Walking to the bathroom, Wu Wen looked at herself in the mirror blankly.
He reached out and scratched his hair.
"Xiao Monk's hair... no! Uh..."
As soon as Wu Wen recalled it, she felt a huge memory emerge in her mind, but soon, this memory was smoothed by an invisible force, and then these memories turned from waterfalls to flowing water, slowly flowing out of her mind.
As the flow passed, the wildly beating eyebrows began to slowly calm down.
Wu Wen rested for more than half an hour before finishing sorting out the memories in her mind.
This memory spans nearly fifty years.
But fortunately, memory is not continuous. Only some more important memories are retained, and some useless and cumbersome memories are completely forgotten.
The memory left behind is like a TV series with more than ten episodes, except that the protagonist is himself.
This feeling was very familiar to him.
"So...this time I am a monk in this parallel world?!!!"
Wu Wen touched his hair. Maybe it was because he had just woken up. When he looked in the mirror, he always felt that his hair looked a bit unsightly.
"No no no!"
Wu Wen realized the horror of her idea and shuddered all over.
He now has a wife and a daughter, how could he have the idea of becoming a monk?!
"Amitabha!"
How could I?
Wu Wen was stunned for a moment.
Looking at the hands that had been clasped together at some point in the mirror, his expression was blank.
Chen Xue had already gone to work early.
Unlike Wu Wen, Wu Wen's video UP host is a freelancer. As an accountant, she has to go to work early every day. It happens to be the end of the month these days. It is not an exaggeration to say that Chen Xue is extremely busy.
Therefore, only he can sleep until he wakes up naturally every day, but Chen Xue has to get up at 7 o'clock every morning, pack up, and then drive to the company to work.
In the past, Wu Wen, as a video UP host, actually lived a more anxious life than Chen Xue. Even if he became popular and made a little money, he would be even more anxious.
I was exhausted every day thinking about the copywriting and theme of the video. In addition to these, I also had to shoot and edit the video. Everything was done by one person.
Although he seems to be working as a freelancer, his mental state is even worse than before when he was working.
But since awakening the memory of the parallel world.
Although he still repeats the cycle of finding themes and copywriting every day, he feels that after these small adventures, he feels much more confident.
In addition, many things in the parallel world can arouse his imagination.
Before I knew it, I had accumulated a lot of wonderful ideas, my video shooting was getting better and better, and I kept making a little money.
Therefore, Wu Wen never feels that this is a burden when it comes to parallel world memory.
Even if in the morning he would be affected by his memory and inexplicably want to be a monk!
After a little tinkering, Wu Wen walked out of the room.
It was almost ten o'clock when he went out. His wife went to work, his daughter went to school, and his mother probably went for a walk, so he was alone in the house now.
When he came to the kitchen, millet porridge and some steamed buns were being heated for him in the rice cooker.
He took it out skillfully and put it on the dining table. After placing the plate, he looked at the fragrant millet porridge in the rice, the white steamed bun next to it, and the pickled mustard beside him.
It was obviously just steamed buns with pickled mustard and a piece of millet porridge. In the past, he was tired of eating breakfast. Now, in a daze, he just felt happy.
How can we not feel happy when we have such a delicious meal?
Wu Wen had a peaceful smile on her face, she sat upright, and her eyes were plain but with a hint of pure brightness.
He silently clasped his hands together, and then skillfully recited the "Offering Mantra"
"Make offerings to the pure Dharmakaya Buddha Vairocana Buddha, the perfect Sambhogakaya Buddha Vairocana Buddha, the thousands of billions of incarnations of Sakyamuni Buddha, the future reborn Maitreya Buddha, the Ultimate Bliss World Amitabha Buddha, and all the Buddhas of the ten directions and three times."
"Porridge has ten benefits, benefiting travelers. The retribution is boundless, and you will always be happy after all."
". We should wish all sentient beings to do whatever they want and possess all the Buddha's teachings."
A section of the "Two-hour Linzhai Ritual" that seemed to be engraved in the bones was fluently read out by Wu Wen.
"Two o'clock fasting ceremony" is a sutra that a monk needs to recite before and after eating.
As a monk, before making offerings during the morning and afternoon fasts, you must first make offerings to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, then make offerings to the monks and other practitioners, and finally make offerings to those who give alms and food during fasting.
This is the so-called offering to the Three Jewels of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.
In his memory, he had been reciting it for almost sixty years, so in just a daze, he blurted out this verse that he could memorize without having to remember it.
After finishing reading, Wu Wen was stunned.
He looked at his clasped hands as if he had just woken up from a dream, then quickly separated them as if there was something unclean stuck in his palms, and then nervously shook his head and looked around.
After he made sure that his mother had gone out, it was also Monday, and the children had gone to school, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah"
Wu Wen suddenly laughed, then shook her head, picked up the steamed bun, and was about to bite it, but when she was about to bite it, she suddenly stopped.
He used to eat like this, eat big, drink big, and eat like crazy. Hesse ate very fast, and his mother told him he was reincarnated as a hungry ghost countless times.
He originally wanted to eat like this in the same way as before.
But just when he was about to do this, the idea that he should respect the food and chew it slowly to allow the food to be better absorbed naturally emerged in his mind.
No need to think about it, this was what he thought when he was "unknown".
Wu Wen didn't want to pay attention to it at first, so she wanted to use this method to resist the instinct brought by memory.
But then, what came to his mind were the memories of what he had seen and the various tragedies he encountered when he encountered famine.
I remembered those man-eating demons in the temple.
I thought of the pale bones on the road.
So, he finally corrected his sitting posture and no longer looked very casual.
Eat porridge, steamed buns, and pickled mustard
Wu Wen chewed slowly and seriously enjoyed this breakfast, which he had not felt anything about in the past.
Although Wu Wen chewed her food carefully, she actually ate not very slowly.
After a while, Wu Wen finished all the breakfast.
He restrained himself from the idea of continuing to perform the "Jie Zhai Gao".
But even so, even though he just had breakfast, he felt as if he had sublimated.
He knew that this was the cause of "obscurity".
no!
This can't go on like this!
Wu Wen found that the memories brought by herself in this parallel world seemed a bit strong this time.
Perhaps it was because in that world, in addition to being a monk, he was even the kind of eminent monk who could be called a true Buddha.
Therefore, Wu Wen discovered that although "Wuwen"'s memory was very low-key, his impact on his body's instincts was very large!
Respecting the instinct of food, he felt that he could maintain it.
But chanting sutras is not necessary!
He realized that he needed a way to digest these memories.
The memory this time is no less than that of the scientist himself last time.
Wu Wen remembered that when she was digesting the memories of the previous world, she made a lot of jokes in the early stages.
And this time he is a monk again. With such an identity, if he accidentally does what he did just now in front of his family, he is afraid that his mother will think that his eldest son has been stimulated by something and wants to become a monk.
.
Therefore, it is imperative to digest memory as early as possible.
However, after all, he is also an old man who has gone through the baptism of memory several times, and he also has knack for absorbing and digesting memories.
If you want to digest quickly, the best way is to go out.
go outside!
And interact more with people outside.
When you are outside, you don't have to control yourself and let your memory control what you do. As long as you vent the impact of these memories at the beginning, the impact of subsequent memories will be much smaller.
This is the experience he summed up last time.
In this case, the memory will be digested faster.
Moreover, everyone outside is a stranger and no one knows anyone. In this case
Don’t be afraid of embarrassment!
So, an hour later.
"Hey! Young man! The gate here is closed. To enter the temple, go to the arch next to it. Remember to buy a ticket~"
An old man next to me saw a young man standing blankly opposite "Lin'an Temple", just looking at the temple but not moving. He thought he saw that the temple door was not open and didn't know how to get in, so he kindly reminded him.
For a moment.
"Oh, okay, thank you donor for the reminder."
After Wu Wen was awakened by the old man's words, she quickly clasped her hands at him, and then said to the old man in a plain but charming voice.
The moment Wu Wen turned around, the old man felt an inexplicable affinity with this young man, and he felt like he had met a great monk.
She shook her head, and when she looked again, Wu Wen had slowly walked to the small door next to her, scanned the QR code to buy a ticket, and disappeared at the door soon like an ordinary tourist.
"Hey, it's strange that the old man is doing it again? Why did I feel like he was glowing just now?"
"Monk? But he has hair!"
The old man looked at Wu Wen's disappearing figure and murmured with a strange expression.
Wu Wen walked into the temple gate with a pious look.
"Lin'an Temple".
As the most famous temple in Yuanhai City.
This temple is not only the largest temple in Yuanhai City, but also a famous attraction.
There is a famous Buddhist school here, which recruits people to become monks and gives them wages.
The requirements are not high, as long as you can memorize a few scriptures and have a master's degree or above.
Of course, tourists are not allowed to enter the Buddhist school area. You can only visit the several halls outside, burn incense and donate some merit money.
In the tourist area, you won't even see many monks.
After Wu Wen came out, he didn't know why, but he wandered and came here.
Then I looked at the gorgeous temple gate of Lin'an Temple in silence.
It wasn't until I was woken up by the old man that I bought a ticket and went in.
As soon as he entered the temple, what Wu Wen saw was a square that was dozens of times larger than the temple where he last stayed.
In the center of the square, a gourd-shaped cauldron about five meters high stood in the center.
White mist curled up from the vent above the cauldron.
There is also a stainless steel merit incense burner in front of the cauldron.
The incense burner is filled with incense.
A female nun came forward with an iron bucket, reached out and pulled out the incense burner that was full of incense that had not been lit for a long time, then pressed the incense into the iron bucket and put out the flame.
"Why"
Wu Wen stretched out his hand, with a look of pity on his face, but he quickly reacted and without saying a word, he watched the nun fill a bucket with the incense, carried the iron bucket, came to the incense burner, and opened it.
The cover on the side of the incense burner reveals the fire pit inside.
The nun poured the incense into the fire pit just like taking out the trash, then closed the lid and left.
After she emptied the merit incense burner, tourists from behind would naturally come forward. Some of them would bow to the heaven and earth and the incense burner, close their eyes and recite a few words silently before inserting three sticks of incense into the incense burner.
In the incense burner.
Some tourists just follow the procedure. After lighting a cigarette, they wave their hands perfunctorily, and then insert three sticks of incense into the incense burner casually, regardless of whether the incense is upright or upside down, just insert it and leave.
The people behind him followed closely, and after a while, the incense burner that had been cleaned once was filled with new incense again.
Obviously, the incense was at its peak, but when Wu Wen looked at the sandalwood in the incense burner, her eyes were filled with confusion and a hint of sadness.
Wu Wen looked at the backs of the tourists and sighed. Then he silently stepped forward, took out three sticks of incense, lit the incense, stood in front of the incense burner, and then slowly bowed down.
Recite a verse of praise to the Buddha while bowing.
Recite the opening verse during the second prayer
It’s incredible to pray three times and recite the monk’s treasure
After three bows, Wu Wen stood up and stepped forward, looked at the full incense burner, smiled softly, and then followed the example of the previous tourists and inserted her own incense into the incense burner that was already like a hedgehog.
Then Wu Wen slowly walked into the palace.
Looking at the three-foot-tall golden Buddha body covered in gold paint and sitting on the stage, Wu Wen clasped her hands together and muttered something in a low voice.
"Namo Amitabha."
Then, looking at the tourists who were kneeling on the futon in front of the Buddha and casting their lots, he smiled and turned around to go out.
The most popular attraction in Lin'an Temple is the Hundred Buddha Pagoda behind the palace.
The Hundred Buddha Pagoda has seven floors.
It is built on the highest terrain in Lin'an City.
Naturally, countless Buddha statues are enshrined on this hundred pagodas.
It is said that the top floor is dedicated to the relics of eminent monks.
Visitors can only go up to the fifth floor, and the sixth and seventh floors are locked by iron doors.
In the hundred pagodas, in addition to the densely packed Buddha statues of different sizes and shapes on the wall, the middle part is covered with colorful ribbons, and a wooden sign hangs on the lower part of the ribbon.
These wooden signs are offering places for tourists to purchase.
Wu Wen asked, the lowest offering position is worth 500, and each level above it adds 500.
One worship seat on the fifth floor costs 2,500 oceans.
After Wu Wen finished asking, she stepped up to the Hundred Buddha Pagoda.
Looking at the densely packed offerings of plaques hanging on each floor of the pagoda, I felt a complicated expression on my face.
After reaching the fifth floor, Wu Wen stood on the guardrail and looked at the panoramic view of Lin'an Temple under the tower, with mixed feelings in her heart.
In the end, he could only sigh quietly, and then started to read.
