When Chen Yang got up again, it was already eight o'clock the next morning. As soon as he woke up, he smelled a scent.
That's the smell of breakfast.
"Come on!" Village Chief Zhu said with a smile when he saw Chen Yang coming out, "I just said I wanted to wake you up. Come on, let's have breakfast."
After washing up, Chen Yang went to the table to have breakfast.
Village Chief Zhu and his family were all at home, so it seemed very lively.
"By the way, do you want to send some food to the master?" Village Elder Zhu said, "It took a lot of effort to come to our place. The temple is finally occupied, but I think he is quite old.
, I wonder if I can still get something to eat by myself, or else I can get something to go up with when you go up later?"
"Okay!" Village Chief Zhu said, "We have already brought a lot of things up there. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be hungry."
"How do you know how old he is? How do you know if he can cook? You'd better hurry up and deliver the food."
"There's no rush. It's been several days. There's no rush at this moment. Even if we don't send it, someone will. Don't worry."
"That's an eminent monk, please be more serious..."
When Chen Yang heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "A monk has come to our village?"
"He's here!" Village Elder Zhu's wife said, "He must be from the same temple as his great-grandfather's master."
Chen Yang's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered what Village Chief Zhu had said to him before.
"Your great-grandfather was a monk there. He said there was an old monk. By the way, the old turtle in Baicao Lake was released by that master, right?"
"Yes, yes!" Village Chief Zhu laughed, "I didn't expect you to still remember this. It's indeed true. My grandfather told me about this, saying that Master Xuanci was kind-hearted and took the money from one person.
I bought the turtle and released it in the white grass and saltpeter. Later, Abbot Xuanci said
He traveled all over the world and never came back. My great-great-grandfather also returned to secular life. When he married a wife, he passed on to my grandfather. Of course, in fact, my great-great-grandfather was a monk... In the final analysis, he was actually a fake monk. At that time
It’s what a monk does just to avoid starving to death.”
Chen Yang nodded, but he became more and more curious.
"Master Xuanci and his descendants are here. That's just right. After dinner, I'll go with you to meet this master."
"Okay, okay!" Village Chief Zhu said with a smile, "That's best. Let's go deliver the food together after dinner."
After eating, Village Chief Zhu took the food and set off with Chen Yang.
Not long after, they came to the old temple.
In fact, the temple is not big and a bit old.
But because during the holidays, people still burn incense and worship Buddha here, so at least someone has tidied it up and it looks like it can still be lived in.
When they came there, they saw an old monk sitting there meditating.
"Master!" Village Chief Zhu came up with the food and said hello, "I don't know if you have eaten, but I brought you some food."
"Thank you so much, donor!" The master stood up and returned the salute to Village Chief Zhu.
"Master, you're welcome!" Village Chief Zhu chuckled, "Come on, come on, eat quickly."
Chen Yang stood there and looked at the master.
"Who is this donor?" The master looked at Chen Yang and asked.
"Oh, I am a businessman who has some business dealings with Village Chief Zhu!" Chen Yang said with a smile, "I heard that a master came to our village. I was curious and came up with Village Chief Zhu to have a look."
The master made a sound before saying: "That's it."
"Where did the master come from?" Chen Yang asked.
"Lao Na comes from a small temple."
"What's it called?" Chen Yang said with a smile, "I've traveled to many places over the years, and I haven't even written about them."
"The donor must have never been to a place called Wuyi Temple. It's very small!"
Chen Yang narrowed his eyes. The name just sounded different from other temples. Not to mention, this was the first time he heard it.
"Oh!" Chen Yang nodded, "That's true. I have never heard of such a name before. By the way, what are you doing here, Master?"
"My great-uncle once stayed here for several years. When he left, he told my master that there were many people here and their life was very difficult. When he traveled here and settled down, the villagers did not like it.
But he was very polite. He always kept it in mind and always wanted to come back to see it, but
He is too old and cannot come back. This matter has been passed on to Master Lao Na, and then to Lao Na. Lao Na is not young now, and I don’t know how many lives he still has. Every time I think about this, I always feel
It’s a bit regretful, so I came here to have a look and see where my great-uncle stayed.”
"Master is interested!" Village Chief Zhu said with a serious face, "Now the people in our village are living well. It's a new society and a new life. Everyone is living quite well. I have troubled Master Xuanci for many years.
Already."
"Master is indeed very caring!" Chen Yang also nodded and said with emotion, "By the way, I heard that there is Baicao Lake here. Master Xuanci released a big turtle there, right? Zhucun
long?"
Village Chief Zhu was stunned. He didn't know why he mentioned this matter. He could only nod and said: "Yes, there is such a thing... Now the turtle has grown up..."
"Master, do you want to go and have a look?" Chen Yang followed up and said with a smile, "It is naturally impossible for the old people in the village to have seen Master Xuanci. If they have known each other, it is probably this one.
It’s just a turtle.”
"There is such a thing!" The master looked surprised, "In that case, I really need to go and see it."
"Master, now we can go and take a look." Chen Yang laughed and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you, I want to take a look too."
"No!" The master shook his head and said, "I won't go now. I have other things to do. If the donor wants to go, you can go by yourself. I won't go."
Village Chief Zhu was a little embarrassed. He really couldn't understand why Chen Yang talked so much today.
"That's it!" Chen Yang said with a smile, "Then I'm really embarrassed. Master, then we won't disturb you. You can continue to meditate here."
Chen Yang said goodbye and left.
After following Chen Yang out, Village Chief Zhu asked: "Boss Chen, I have to ask more, what did you mean... just now?"
"Nothing!" Chen Yang thought for a while and then laughed and said, "They say they came here because of Master Xuanci, so isn't it normal to go and see the turtle released by Master Xuanci?"
Village Chief Zhu thought for a while, then nodded and said, "What you said makes some sense."
"Okay, Village Chief Zhu, you go back first, I'll just hang around here."
