Self-cultivation of Male Supporting Role

With the tacit approval of Abbot Mingchen, Cheng Changqing saw Mingguang, who was emaciated and had a hunched back in the Bodhidharma Academy, who was digging with a shovel.

Bodhidharma is not actually a yard. There is a sheep intestine trail leading to the bottom of the mountain to the east of it. The mountain road is rugged. The monks in the courtyard usually go down the mountain to fetch water along this road. , can barely pick up half a bucket of water from the bottom of the mountain.

If monks who have made mistakes in the temple want to think about their practice, they are usually here.

As for why the monks in the monastery who are not afraid of the past will never return, the superficially fooling argument is that they are free to become a monk.

In fact, after going down the mountain, anyone who wants to leave the capital, wants to find a decent job to support themselves, wants to buy a few acres of land to become a rich man, has to go to the government for filing, and the filing requires household registration documents.

The monks do not have these things. To put it bluntly, their household registration status is in the temple, which is a collective household registration, and the monks in the temple are not allowed to have private property at the foot of the mountain.

That is to say, if a monk who escaped from the mountain privately has no one to protect him, he will either stay in the capital as a beggar, or if he is lucky, he will be picked up and used as a shop assistant, barely supporting himself. The premise is that he has the agility to be a second assistant. Son, also be able to endure hardship.

Seeing Cheng Changqing coming, Mingguang didn't have the slightest surprise on his face that was a little more frosty. He looked very calm. His subordinates kept digging soil. Keep your head down and start digging.

One by one, not hurriedly, very rhythmically, he could not see the real thoughts in his heart at all, perhaps his own heart was as calm as it appeared.

With a grass in his mouth, Shi Yan sat without image on a large smooth stone not far in front of Mingguang, bored watching the silent communication between the two of them.

It can be seen from Mingguang's intention that he wants to rebuild a road leading to the mountain on the mountain road. According to Shi Yan's simple calculation and Mingguang's progress, it will take about five years to complete this road. capital that has reappeared in front of the world.

I felt bored in my heart, and I felt that Mingguang was really ruthless. Although he regarded the Buddha as a means to achieve his goal, many devout believers could be convinced and speechless during this action.

Seriously speaking, this ruthlessness that does not stop until it achieves its goal is somewhat similar to Cheng Changqing.

Cheng Changqing put his hands behind his back, and stood quietly at a high place watching Mingguang's movements, and neither of them said a word.

Cheng Changqing lifted his robe, squatted down, took out another shovel from the basket next to him, and silently started digging a few battles away from Mingguang.

The body that was just right was still a little weak. After digging for two hours, it was near noon. The sun was hanging in the sky. His eyes were burning with pain, but Cheng Changqing didn't cry out, or even said anything.

The two of them do their own thing without disturbing each other, like two lines that will never intersect.

Shi Yan had already slept on the rock and was woken up by the sun, looking at the sky and rubbing his stomach, it was time for lunch.

Cheng Changqing got up slowly, his eyes darkened, and after getting used to it for a while, his face was covered in sweat, and his face was pale. He took a deep breath, put the shovel gently into the basket next to him, walked to Shi Yan, and wiped it with his sleeve. Wiped the sweat from his face.

The sleeves were all covered with mud, and the rubbing of his face made it even worse.

Cheng Changqing showed a bright smile towards Shi Yan, and stretched out his hand towards Shi Yan: "Let's go, let's have lunch."

From beginning to end, the father and son did not communicate a word.

Shi Yan was satisfied with Mingguang's understanding of the current affairs, and gave the other party an admiring look.

However, he also believed that if he hadn't followed, Xiao Jiujiu in Mingguang's heart would have been eager to move, and had practiced it against Cheng Changqing.

On the way, Cheng Changqing said to Shi Yan, "He doesn't have me, nor my mother, or even the Buddha in his heart, but only himself. His belief is very firm, and he has not given up so far. We don't need to come again in the future. He doesn't need me. , he doesn't need anyone who doesn't help his plans."

Shi Yan didn't make any remarks on this, just to see Cheng Changqing's face.

After all their wishes were fulfilled, Cheng Changqing and Shi Yan recited a volume of Taoist scriptures together on a clear and clear morning. After the two had eaten breakfast, Cheng Changqing said to Shi Yan with a calm expression, "Let's start."

Shi Yan did not refute, but asked him one last time: "Have you made up your mind?"

Cheng Changqing nodded lightly: "Yes."

Shi Yan pointed to another bowl of steaming medicine on the table: "Drink him, go to sleep, wake up and it's over."

Cheng Changqing didn't have the slightest doubt, just like drinking a bowl of ordinary cold medicine, smashed his mouth, and said to Shi Yan: "I put a lot of Huanglian, I reasonably suspect that you did it on purpose."

After drinking, he consciously lay on the bed, a bitter taste in his stomach came up, frowned and joked with Shi Yan: "I hope I can hear good news from my father when I wake up."

Shi Yan nodded: "Yes."

In fact, when Cheng Changqing woke up, three days later, he was a little confused at first, and then he remembered what happened before he fell asleep, and closed his eyes to feel it.

It seems that I have lost something that is inexplicable, but I feel that this is also a good thing.

I slowly put on my coat and walked out of the house. I didn't imagine that I would fall down as soon as the wind blows. The cool autumn wind can make me feel icy cold.

Shi Yan turned his face on the futon under the eaves and smiled at him: "You're awake."

Cheng Changqing was stunned and didn't know what to say first.

Shi Yan took out a transparent crystal ball the size of an egg from his arms and gave it to Cheng Changqing: "Because you are my relative, I have done a ritual for you with the lowest cost and the best effect.

Buy one get one free, you keep this thing, don't look at it is transparent now, until one day it is completely covered by a certain color, that is when your deadline is approaching. "

Cheng Changqing was stunned.

Shi Yan smiled and said: "Of course, I don't give you this to count the remaining days of your life by staring at it, but to carry this thing close to your body, one person will only make it produce one color, if there is a difference in it someday. The color is to remind you that there is danger around you.

Who made you an ordinary person without merit and virtue? When you go out, you will inevitably stumble. As a relative, this is my little help to you. "

As for what he said before about losing his health and reducing his life expectancy, he was just trying to scare Cheng Changqing. He could still be a middleman and earn the price difference when he worked for his relatives?

Take him for someone.

Xiaojia said sadly: "You're making money! If you don't make the difference at this time, is your brain flooded?

Team leader, you suddenly changed your character and stopped being a scumbag, but I can't be happy at all. I told you that you can stay in this world for a few more decades in order to settle the cause and effect, but you can't help but charge what you deserve. The benefits!

If you don't accept it, this cause and effect will be more closely intertwined. We can't say that we will have to stay for decades, Tonger will be crazy! "

Cheng Changqing held the crystal ball in his hand and said calmly, "You know I'm leaving?"

Shi Yan put his hands behind his back and looked up at the pure blue sky: "It's not hard to guess."

Cheng Changqing also followed his example. The two of them looked into the distance together, their minds were calmer than ever before. Suddenly, Shi Yan said softly, "Come on."

Cheng Changqing puzzled: "What?"

Shi Yan: "Good news."

As Shi Yan's voice fell, what appeared in the sight of the two was Cheng Lixue's handsome face that couldn't be pressed no matter what.

Before Shi Yan asked, Cheng Lixue opened the food box in his hand to take something from it, and greeted the two with a smile: "Ayan, Changqing, come here! I brought Ayan's favorite short ribs, and Changqing's favorite. Steamed pork.

Oh, there are also pancakes from Granny Liu's house. First eat two bites to satisfy your cravings, and bring a lot of your favorite food! Don't fill up your stomach. "

Cheng Changqing and Shi Yan looked at each other and saw the affirmative answer in Shi Yan's eyes, with the most relieved smile on his face in the past six months.

This smile is like letting go of everything, and his mind finally returns to peace, without any burden on his body, he is the young man in the capital who is flying freely.

Cheng Lixue saw this scene as soon as he raised his head, was startled, and then said happily: "Changqing, I haven't seen you smiling so happily for a long time! Is there anything happy?

Come on, let's eat and talk! "

Shi Yan slowly walked over and sat down, jokingly said: "Brother Changqing, there is nothing to say here, but you, uncle, you seem to be proud of the spring breeze. I know you have something good to tell us!"

Cheng Changqing also sat down and started to eat, looking at Cheng Lixue with smiling eyes.

Cheng Lixue coughed dryly, with a thin red on the tip of her ear, took a bite of the dish to hide her embarrassment, and forcibly calmed down before speaking to the two children.

"No one else needs to know about this, I just want to tell you two."

Shi Yan smiled and said, "Is it sharing joy? Then you hurry up and get into the topic, don't dawdle."

Cheng Lixue originally felt a little embarrassed to say this to the two children, but after thinking about it, he had nothing to explain to the family. Only these two children, especially in front of Chang Qing, must make it clear, so as not to let the child think Sensitive and thoughtful.

Being disturbed by Shi Yan, he simply let go and said directly: "Ayan, your grandfather has arranged a marriage for your uncle, and the wife is Zhou Zicheng, the daughter of General Zhou's family, Zhou Qingyan.

Jiangmen Tiger Girl, we used to fight side by side on the battlefield in order to defend against foreigners. She is a good brother who can entrust our lives. Later, my uncle returned to Beijing to get married, but he never heard of the other party.

A few days ago, the Zhou family came back from the border, one of the purposes was to find a marriage for Miss Zhou.

Because General Zhou died at the border three years ago, Miss Zhou kept her filial piety for three years. In addition, in the previous battle, she suffered a little injury on her face. So far, she has not made a decision. The old lady of the Zhou family feels that she is alone My health is going to be bad, I am afraid that I will die, and my granddaughter will keep filial piety for another three years, completely delaying Miss Zhou.

Only then did the family enter the capital, and they wanted to entrust Miss Zhou, along with her children, to the elders of the clan to take care of her.

Uncle learned about this incident by chance, and asked your grandfather to go to Zhou's house to mention the marriage of the two of us. In view of the premise that the old lady of Zhou's family is getting worse and worse, our marriage is scheduled for the third day of next month.

When the time comes, the uncle will say hello to the abbot, Ayan, you come with Changqing, and let Changqing show you the elders in the family, so as not to meet or not know each other in the future and be embarrassed. "

Shi Yan could see that my uncle was a woman who really liked Zhou's girl's style. When speaking of it, her eyes were sparkling, and her eyes were full of turbulence, making people more angry when they looked at them.

Where is it like living with the second princess before, it is called a calm and respectful person.

Cheng Changqing also felt happy. To this day, Cheng Lixue never regarded him as an outsider, leaving him the last soft place in his heart. He felt that everything was worth it.
