Lin Baobao and Xia Beibei

Chapter 40

With just one glance, Xia Dongchun understood that this string of dzi beads may have been consecrated here, or it was prayed for here. She originally didn't want Lin Baobao to wear this string of dzi beads, because Lin Baobao's wrists are very thin, Wearing such a thick string feels very out of tune, but Lin Baobao has put it on since the moment she saw the dzi bead, and she is unwilling to take it off except for taking a bath, so Xia Dongchun has to let her do it. Use it, she thought, the sky is bright, here is a Buddhist holy place, so it won't rob money or sex, and this monk is gentle and polite, and he doesn't look like a bad person. Besides, Lin Jianguo donated a lot of money to this Buddhist temple. Qian only built this scale...Xia Dongchun thought over and over in his mind, and finally nodded to the monk who was waiting patiently: "Master, please lead the way."

"Please benefactor." The monk walked in front, and Xia Dongchun held Baobao Lin and followed behind. At some point, Baobao Lin and Xia Dongchun had reached a tacit understanding. As long as Xia Dongchun held Baobao Lin's hand, she would He became extremely quiet, and his expression began to become cautious, as if he knew that things were a little serious.

The monk led the two of them to walk more and more sideways. Although they were sideways, they could still see tourists coming and going in twos and threes on the road. Looking at their clothes, they were either rich or expensive. Some even brought bodyguards. Xia Dongchun took notes of the surroundings while walking If she is really robbed later, it's okay, anyway, she didn't bring much valuable things, and if she was robbed or something, she could run away.

The monk took her into another temple, which looked much bigger than the one just now, and there was a sign of 'no tourists allowed' at the door, "Please." Seeing her hesitation, the monk made a request gesture.

"This——" Xia Dongchun felt that he was unfamiliar with the place, so it was better not to go in: "I think it's fine, the money was donated by Chairman Lin, and it has nothing to do with the baby or me. We are just here to play. Don't bother the abbot."

Seeing her expression of embarrassment and entanglement to the extreme, the monk was also a little speechless. Did he look like a bad person? After all, it was a holy place of Buddhism, and the sky was still bright. How could he still eat her?

"Amitabha——" The two sides were confronting each other. A monk with a gray beard and bald hair came out of the temple. He was wearing the same monk's uniform as the monk in front of him. Woman, she stood in front of Xia Dongchun, and bowed to the old monk: "Zhen Master Zhihua."

"Benefactor, please." The old monk turned his body and let the lady go in. At this time, the monk who brought Xia Dongchun also sang to the old monk: "Abbot."

The old monk also nodded to him: "You go." So the monk left in a hurry as if he had been pardoned.

"You are the abbot?" Xia Dongchun was still a little confused: "But shouldn't the abbot wear cassocks and hold a Zen stick? You don't have anything, not even a string of Buddhist beads."

"It's just something external, why should the benefactor care about it, please come with me, both of you." After the old monk finished speaking, he walked inside, not caring at all whether Xia Dongchun would follow, of course Xia Dongchun wanted to slip away, but she wanted to follow in even more Look, "Do you want to go in?" She lowered her head and asked Lin Baobao, but when she saw Lin Baobao's face with the same doubt, she knew she was asking the wrong person. She looked at the old monk's back and saw that he had already walked out. If you don't chase, you may not be able to catch up, so you don't hesitate anymore, and you pull Lin Baobao and run in.

The old monk walked into a large hall in the middle, Xia Dongchun dragged Lin Baobao and walked in, and when she entered, she was startled by the memorial tablets all over the room and almost jumped out. The woman knelt on the ground and worshiped one of the spirit tablets, she couldn't help swallowing, where did this whole thing come from?

But she understood right away, because the old monk (abbot) handed her a piece of paper, which said, "The tablet of the past life: set up for the dead, through the blessing of merit and virtue, so that this person can be reborn in a good way or a blissful life. The taste of the past life has increased', "So it's like this—" Although she understood the meaning of these tablets, she was still confused about the purpose of the abbot who brought her here: "Do you want me to stand here for Chairman Lin? A reincarnation tablet? How much does it cost? I may not have a lot of money—" Looking at the lady, Xia Dongchun felt a little ashamed, we are poor people, really poor people.

"Benefactor, please look here." The abbot guided her to the place where only two memorial tablets were enshrined in the middle of the main hall. Xia Dongchun looked at the names on it - Lin Sheng and Xu Juan. She frowned, confirming that she really didn't Recognized, he shook his head at the abbot.

"This is what Lin Sir set up for his son and daughter-in-law." The old monk said peacefully.

Lin Sir?who?I don’t know each other, but Xia Dongchun couldn’t help admiring how the monks keep pace with the times. Even monks have started to learn foreign languages ​​to catch up with the international standards. We mortals have no reason not to learn advanced foreign culture and knowledge.

She was admiring the old monk, but she didn't know that the old monk was also admiring her. She had already reminded her so clearly, why didn't this seemingly smart kid not understand? Could it be because she had been with Baobao Lin for a long time, and she was starting to become dull? Just as he was about to reveal the answer, Xia Dongchun suddenly raised his head: "Sir Lin? Lin Jianguo? Chairman Lin?" The old monk clasped his hands together: "Amitabha." You guessed it right.

"Then they are the baby's parents?" Xia Dongchun hurriedly pulled Lin Baobao to kneel down: "Baby, quickly call parents."

Lin Baobao bit his lower lip and said nothing.

"What's the matter? Let my sister see, why are you crying? Okay, okay, stop barking if you don't bark, you have to kowtow."

Lin Baobao was still kneeling like that, motionless.

"Okay, okay, I won't knock if you don't knock, let's get up." Xia Dongchun quickly pulled her up, and said to the old monk apologetically, "She is crying fiercely, and I'm afraid it will disturb the purity of Buddhism. Spread the knowledge of parents, and she will know what to do next time she comes here.” He took out a wet towel and wiped away the tears left on Lin Baobao’s face and eyelashes, and seeing her dark eyes, his heart was full of tears. A pull.

"Amitabha, benefactor, please follow me." The old monk clasped his hands together and walked out of the hall again. Xia Dongchun completely dispelled his doubts at this time, and followed closely behind with Lin Baobao.

The three of them entered through the door on the side of the main hall, and entered a nunnery. Xia Dongchun saw the little nuns on the road with bare heads, carrying buckets, and wearing loose monk robes. But she is not Chen Lu, so she still has this bit of concentration. If she really does something to the little nuns, she will be kicked out immediately.

When the nuns passing by saw Zen Master Zhihua, they all stopped and saluted: "Abbot." This made Xia Dongchun puzzled again. It is too ridiculous for a nun's nunnery to let a monk be the abbot.

"The abbot of the nunnery was borrowed by another nunnery in another place, and the old monk was only acting as an agent for a period of time. Don't need to panic." The old monk didn't need to look back to know how surprised Xia Dongchun was.

The old monk led the two of them into a big hall again. It was the Buddha again, and they had to worship again. Xia Dongchun resigned to his fate and knelt down again and offered incense again. In such a short period of time, I prayed three times inexplicably.
