Withered grass and withered root know withered wood best, and they also know who he is looking for. When I think of dead wood, who is old and in poor health, and who has already stepped into the coffin with one foot, and who has noble virtue all his life, if he is rejected by that woman, will he not be ridiculed?
The withered grass pondered for a while and said, "elder martial brother, it's getting late today. We'd better go with you tomorrow. Maybe he can give us more face."
Kuki shook his head and sighed: "don't try to persuade me, younger martial brother. I'm at the end of the candle fire. Night and day are the same to me. A Buddha's name is" fearless ", which is also called" fearless ". There are five ways to be fearless: no fear of death, no fear of fame, no fear of life, no fear of evil, and even no fear of public prestige. Monk has died fearless, still afraid of the night? Ha ha, I'm going now. "
As he said this, he went into his Zen room and carried a monk's cloth bag from inside. He hung it on both ends of his shoulder and looked at the full moon hanging in the sky. He said to the withered grass, withered root and juechen: "three younger martial brothers, take good care of the withered Zen temple. You don't have to follow me. When I use Buddhism to influence them and bring them back to Wukong, I recently found that Buddhism is really boundless. I didn't know much about it when the nameless master told me, Now I seem to understand a little bit. "
Withered grass, withered root and juechen all look sad. Recently, master withered wood seems to have changed. It can't be said that it's wrong. He always feels that what he says is difficult to resist. He always likes to hear him recite the Buddhist scriptures he didn't like to hear.
When he reached the stream, he saw a semi rotten stick. He picked it up and leaned on his body. He was very excited and said, "the ancients said," rotten wood can't be carved. "This almost totally negates rotten wood. Every thing in the world has its own function. The candle lights up the road with its own life, and the rotten wood is the last support, Help the monk walk. "
Withered grass, withered roots, juechen three people look at each other, see withered wood to the Creek Bridge, back emaciated, it is sad in the heart. How could the three really stay here as he said and follow behind secretly.
The dead wood passes through the front yard and has a close look. Monks and monks have gone back to sleep. Empty, he goes out of the temple gate and walks south along the cobbled path and moonlight.
His destination here is Baisha village, which Duan Hong used to visit. Once upon a time, Duan Hong walked on this road for four years, carrying two big buckets, but he didn't know how much sweat and spring water he had shed.
Kuchan temple is a few kilometers away from Baisha village. It is not far or near.
Master Kuki is old. Every time he takes a section of road, he is panting. He takes off his cloth bag and spreads it on the ground. He sits down and has a rest.
"Rotten wood, rotten wood, the monk can't even walk far away. It seems that he is no longer in good health. Two years ago, I was able to walk to Baisha village to deliver some new year's goods to the villagers, and occasionally look at her. Although she knew that I would look at her again, she ignored me on the surface, and I was happy. Maybe this will be my last trip Master Kuki recovered his breath and got up to continue on his way.
After three people see this, all sad sad, looking at each other for decades of old brother, weak, so far, withered grass is sad, popular turbid tears. Want to go up to help, and afraid of his blame, had to follow honestly.
Go, stop, stop, go. A few kilometers, let dead wood master walk nearly two hours, come to a small courtyard. This courtyard is the most common in the countryside. It is surrounded by mud mud mud. There is a wooden fence at the door. There are three tile roofed houses in it, two ear rooms for each thing, and some chickens and ducks are fed in the corner.
Generally, when strangers come, chickens and ducks always shout. When dead wood comes, they are still quiet.
"Ta TA TA."
The dead wood beat the wooden fence with the rotten wood in his hand. Seeing that there was no movement, he looked at it again for a while. The lights in the East tile house are on. Now just after the new year, the weather is still cold, but Kuki is sweating, waiting quietly.
The door of the tile roofed house came. Looking at it by the light, a thin figure in cotton padded clothes came running. At the door, a young girl, who looked like 18 or 19 years old, was very beautiful, but with sleepy eyes.
When she saw the dead wood, she knew it. She rubbed her eyes and said, "master, it's so late. What's the matter?"
Dead wood looked at the girl, very happy, said: "Sasha, I look for your mother."
"Ah?"
The girl was surprised. In the middle of the night, a monk came to the door and said to find his mother? If we don't know each other, we'll be beaten. The girl had known the monk for a long time. She had seen him since childhood and knew that he was the great master of kuchan temple in the north. However, her mother never saw him, but she refused to leave the dilapidated tile roofed house to live in the city.
"Master, what can I do for you? My mom's sleeping. " The girl said politely.
Kuki nodded and said, "Sasha, your mother is sleeping. I shouldn't have disturbed her, but please tell him that I want to see my daughter."
"Ah?" Sasha was surprised again. She saw that Kuki's face was very bad. She was sweating, and her body was shaking slightly. She was obviously very tired. She said in secret: "this master, it's strange that she's looking for her daughter to come to our house. I'm afraid he's going to die like this. I'll promise him first and persuade him to go back. " He said: "master, I'm going to tell my mother that you should go back first. I'll go to kuchan temple to see you tomorrow."
Kuki shook his head: "Sasha, what the master father said is a big deal. Go and help the master." Seeing this, Sha Sha couldn't bear to refuse and said, "master, I don't know what's wrong with you today. How did you find my daughter to come to my home? I'll tell your mother what you said. You know, she hates monks most in her life, but she has to live next to kuchan temple. It's strange. You're old. Go back first." Kuki said with a smile, "it's not strange. Everything has a reason. Go ahead." Sasa see dead wood is very persistent, thinking that if his mother to persuade him may be better, then back to the room, but just turned, under a jump, his mother stood behind. The frost on my face is very frightening“ Ah! Mom, you scared me Said Sasha. A woman looks wrinkled and gray, but she combs her hair neatly. There is an indescribable tenderness between her eyebrows. She looks like she's in her fifties, she looks like she's in her forties, and she looks like she's in her thirties when she's looking at her eyes“ Sasha, go back to bed. " The woman said coldly. Sasha looked at her and knew that her mother's temper was very hot sometimes. She didn't dare to reply and walked back to the room quickly. The woman went to the door, looked at the dead wood and said nothing. Withered wood coughed a few times and said with a smile: "Xiao Bing, your appearance has not changed, but I am so old."“ If you have something to do, just say it. " The woman's voice is still cold. This woman is the white widow that Duan Hong often talks about. When Duan Hong first came to Baisha village to draw water, he saw Sasha. The two teenagers were very shy, but Duan Hong was interested in this beautiful girl and came here to watch every day. Sometimes she would call on Chi Meng and get familiar with Sha Sha. But her mother also knew that she would shut her in the room and would not let her go out. She would scold Duan Hong and Chi Meng when she saw them. She hated monks the most. She scolded Duan Hong for being a toad, and Duan Hong for being a white widow. Once she cried at her, and Duan Hong left in horror. He often said that several masters came here in the middle of the night, which is not a false statement. Three old monks did come here often, especially master Kuki. When he was in good health a few years ago, he came here almost every day, but later there were fewer. "Xiaobing, I want to meet our daughter," Kuki said The white widow said coldly, "don't you see me every day? I talked to her just now. " Withered wood wry smile, said: "I am not talking about Shasha, is the moon and round." The white widow was angry and said, "they are not your daughters. Don't talk nonsense. Don't come to see me if you have nothing to do. A monk didn't accept the commandments at all -- "kugen couldn't see it in the distance, so he came out and pointed to the white widow and said," you're OK! You didn't seduce my elder martial brother at that time. Now you call him? You don't want to see him, you go! No one wants you to live here. You are the old lady of the ancient family. You're a tough old man. You go with him. Why do you have my elder martial brother in Baisha village and pretend to be here? "“ Get out of here The white widow shouts at kugen. Kuki patted kugen and said, "younger martial brother, didn't I say to let you stay in kuchan temple? What are you doing out there? Go back. "“ I - elder martial brother, let's go. If it's a big deal, we'll go to Gu's house and make a big scene. Those two girls can't say it's not yours. It's Gu Jiulian's. If it's yours, I'll save their lives. I won't kill them. " Kugen said he wanted to pull the dead wood. Kuki waved his hand and said, "younger martial brother, do you want to die?" Kugen said, "I want elder martial brother to live a long life!"“ Well, then go back and don't come here to make her angry. " Said the dead wood. Kugen sighed and went to the dark place, not to be seen by two people. Kuki said, "Xiaobing, he's gone. Hehe, Xiaobing, I live a few more days. Let me meet them. " White widow tone becomes calm, way: "don't say, these two daughters I can't see, not to mention is you, you and they are in the same situation, why do you want to see them?" Kuki said: "Xiaobing, I can't hide it from you. One of my disciples, you've seen that young man who passes by your house carrying a bucket every day, he has a fierce temper in his body and has been taken away by them. I want to ask them to let me go."“ Hum The white widow said, "I know that you are so pedantic, how can you come to me without any reason and still want to see your daughter? You want to get rid of them, you -- "she said, spitting at the dead wood, turned and left. Suddenly he stopped, sobbed and threw a piece of jade at him“ I don't want to see any of you in my life. " She said and ran to the inner room.
