Chapter 25 Where is the Great Sun
"What's the matter? You frown. Of course you have to study the Buddhist scriptures, but don't fall into the devil." Kong Kong persuaded.
He had seen Wu Sheng's performance in the past few days and remembered it in his heart. He found that his apprentice might be a little crazy. He finally found a disciple, but he couldn't let it go like this. Then his master would have something in his heart.
Feeling ashamed, he wanted to come over and enlighten me.
"Master, do you know the Great Sun Tathagata?" Wu Sheng asked him a question.
"I know, that's the one enshrined in the main hall." Kong Kong pointed to the Buddhist hall not far away.
"No, that's Buddha."
"Oh, the word "big sun" is missing. The one hanging in the sky, the two together make it." Kong Kong pointed to the sky, the huge sun.
Wu Sheng raised his head and looked at Tiankou, then turned to look at the Buddha statue in the main hall.
"That makes sense."
"Wu Sheng, isn't it boring to stay on the mountain? Let's go down the mountain for a walk?" Kong Kong came to him and motioned for him to sit down, and asked softly.
"No, I've been quite busy recently." Wu Sheng sat down and said.
"The way of civil and military affairs is to relax, practice and recite sutras. It is the same principle. Can you practice in one piece? You have to relax when you need to. Go out and walk around. Maybe you will figure it out all at once?" said Kong Kong.
"It's okay. If I think about it again, I won't go down the mountain." Wu Sheng said.
He is now in high spirits and is concentrating on his practice. He is so absorbed in it that he has no mind to care about other things.
"Well, think about it slowly, don't be anxious, there is plenty of time anyway. When do you want to go down the mountain and talk to me?" Kong Kong saw that he was very persistent, so he didn't force it anymore, patted his shoulder and left.
Already.
"good."
After Kong Kong left, Wu Sheng sat there, thinking for a while, then raised his head and stared at the sky. After a while, he squatted on the ground with his glasses covered.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, I'm blind, I'm blind!"
Staring at my eyes, my eyes were stung and painful. Even if I closed my eyes, I could still see two balls of light.
After a while, he opened his eyes again, squinting this time, looked up at the sky, looked at the sun for a while, then lowered his head and rubbed his eyes.
Three days later, a spot of light appeared in his sea of consciousness. He sat in the yard, closed his eyes, looked at the sky, and felt the sun in the sky.
It was very warm, and he knew where the sun was in the sky without opening his eyes.
In the afternoon of this day, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the temple. He was seven feet tall, dressed in black, with slender cheeks, a mustache, and carrying a knife. Wu Sheng had seen this man before in Jinhua City.
, Monk Kong said that he was a master among the Wuying Guards, and it was very likely that he came here because of Gu Nanpo's matter.
After seeing him, Wu Sheng's first reaction was one of surprise. He didn't expect that people from Ningjia Village would actually come to this place where birds don't shit.
"Hello Master, we meet again." The man came to Wu Sheng Shen with a smile and said.
"It's not very good. My head hurts a bit. Also, I'm not a master. I'm a young monk, Wu Sheng." Wu Sheng said.
Because of what happened to Gu Nanpo and what happened on that rainy night, he didn't have a good impression of Wu Yingwei. He was the hawk and dog of the court, working as an aide to frame Zhongliang.
"My lord, Wu Ying Wei Cui Hu, may I ask where the master was twelve days ago?"
"Twelve days ago?" Wu Sheng thought for a moment after hearing this. That was the day when they went to Jinhua City and stayed outside the city for the night, when they met Gu Siying and intercepted her prisoner.
Just as he was thinking about how to answer, Monk Kong came over with a smile.
"Hello, Master."
"I wonder, is this benefactor here to offer incense or to make a wish? Although our temple is remote, it is still very effective." Kong Kong smiled and said nonsense.
"I came here specifically to see the two masters." The man said with a smile, and then he asked the same question again, his eyes always staring at emptiness and lifelessness.
Wu Sheng felt a little weak in his heart, but he couldn't see it on his face.
"You're kidding, I've been stared at by ghosts more than once. I'm afraid of you!"
Nothing unusual can be seen in Kong Kong, who is smiling like Maitreya Buddha.
"That day, we went to Jinhua City."
"What to do?"
"I've been a little bored in the mountains for a long time, so I went down the mountain and wanted to beg for alms and get some food," Kong Kong said.
"Can I spend the night in the city?"
"No, it's outside the city." Monk Kong said.
When Wu Sheng heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
"How can this be true!"
"Outside the city, where?" Cui Hu asked after hearing this.
"Three miles outside the city gate, there is a Earth Temple. Most of it collapsed. We spent the night there. It rained quite hard that night." Kong Kong said.
"Master, have you ever seen a group of soldiers escorting three prison cars?"
"I've seen it before, in Jinhua City." Monk Kong said.
"Does Master Wusheng have anything else to add?"
"No more." Wu Sheng shook his head decisively.
"Sorry to bother you two masters." Cui Hu, "I want to take a look around the temple, is that okay?"
"Okay, please do it." Monk Kong said with a smile.
Then the two men accompanied Cui Hu around the temple. The temple was not small and most of it was dilapidated.
"I didn't expect that there is a big temple in this deep mountain. It's a pity." Cui Hu sighed and said, "I wonder how many monks there are in the temple?"
"Four."
"This temple is so remote, so few people come here on weekdays, right?"
"yes."
"It's remarkable how many masters can endure such poverty." Cui Hu said.
"Although I am poor, my peace of mind is better than at the foot of the mountain." Kong Kong said.
After hearing this, Cui Hu was silent for a while, nodded, then said goodbye and left.
"Master, how could you just talk about the night we spent outside the city?"
"We're just outside the city. I'm telling the truth. If I said we were staying overnight in the city, he would definitely ask where we were. There are people on duty in Jinhua City at night, so the loopholes would be even bigger." Kong Kong said.
"Then what if he goes to the Earth Temple to check?"
"Go, the temple has collapsed." Kong Kong said.
"So you've thought about it all. That guy won't doubt us, right?"
"What do you suspect about us? Do you have any evidence?"
"Do they need evidence to arrest someone?" Wu Sheng asked.
"Don't you need it?" Kong asked.
"I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to read the scriptures." Wu Sheng said, flicking his sleeves.
The days in the mountains are so quiet, one day after another, like the wind blowing through the fingers, unable to catch or keep.
Wu Sheng lived a very simple and fulfilling life in Lanruo Temple. He ate, read scriptures, basked in the sun, exercised, went out to cultivate land, and made great achievements in practice. A small sun appeared in the sea of consciousness.
The sun has come, and the Tathagata will come next, but having said that, is it really okay to practice separately like this? He asked himself this matter more than once, but it was a pity that no one gave him guidance to solve his doubts. This thing in the temple
