Puchang Temple is located in Province N. It is one of the branches of Shaolin Temple. It is small in scale, but it is quite famous in the local area. It used to be the first temple in Province N. But later, the economic center of Province N moved south, and the local transportation and economy gradually fell behind. Moreover, new scenic spots are constantly being developed, and competitors tend to be modernized and convenient. It was not as famous as Shaolin Temple in the first place, and even less people care about it now.

However, when Bai Liang was born, it was very lively here. At that time, there was a master here with a sharp eye. It was said that he could see through a person's past and future. Money can maintain the daily expenses of dozens of people in the temple.

The master often traveled all over the country, met many people of all kinds, and made friends regardless of poverty or illustriousness. By chance, he met Father Bai. When he saw Father Bai, he immediately knew that there was a A sickly newborn.

Father Bai didn't expect that a bald-headed monk with an unattractive appearance would know what he was worried about, so he respected this master very much, and even invited him to his home as a guest to tell him about his family's situation.

It turned out that Bai Liang was born less than a month old, and Bai's mother was in poor health, so he had to be taken out of her belly in advance, resulting in Bai Liang being born thin and ill, suffering from serious and minor illnesses.Given Bai's mother's current situation, Bai Liang might be their only child, so Bai's father was naturally worried.

The master looked at the baby in the swaddle, recited Amitabha, and said to Father Bai: "I think this child has a very bad fate. If he is raised by your side, he is very likely to die early."

When the Bai couple heard this, their eyes turned red with anxiety. What the master said was exactly the same as what the fortune teller they invited earlier said. Could it be that their son really has no destiny for them in this life?

Father Bai sighed and asked the master, "Master, is there any way to change my son's fate?"

The master closed his eyes and turned the string of relics in his hand, and after a long time he said slowly: "There is a temple in N province, named Puchang Temple, where I have practiced for many years. If the benefactor trusts me, you can send the child there. , study with great concentration under the radiance of the Buddha Dharma, and you will be sheltered for a lifetime."

After Father Bai heard this, he went to Puchang Monastery in person. He met the amiable abbot, talked with him for a few days, and saw that the abbot talked very well, did things in a reasonable and orderly way, and treated his disciples kindly, so he told the abbot what he wanted in his heart. .

As soon as the abbot heard the fortune-telling master he mentioned, he knew it was his eloquent younger brother. He was a little bit dumbfounded at the moment, thinking that his younger brother went out to fool people again.

The abbot does not believe in destiny, but only in man-made. He believes that a person's fate depends on whether he does good deeds and accumulate virtue. He believes that good and evil will be rewarded. For this reason, he often has differences with his younger brother, so that his younger brother does not stay in the monastery all year round. , roaming around.

But father Bai is eager to protect his son, and he no longer wants to think about whether what the master said is true or not. Even if the master is just to recruit lay disciples to increase some income for the monastery, there is a 90.00% chance that it is false, and only [-]% may be true , He also wanted to change his son's life.

The abbot felt sorry for him as a new father, it was not easy for his son to consider so far, so he agreed to accept Bai Liang as his disciple.

After Bai Liang was weaned, he was sent to Puchang Temple to eat and live with the monks in the temple. Originally, Bai's father and mother were afraid that no one would take care of the baby in the temple, so they stayed in the temple for a few days to observe from a distance. than they expected.

There are no women in the monastery, and men are responsible for all the daily work of the monastery, including sweeping the floor, cooking, and laundry. They enjoy the welfare of the monastery, are grateful, do things very carefully, and have a gentle and kind temper.

Puchang Temple is the most famous temple with a radius of tens of miles. There are many villages and towns around. It is said that when there was a famine in some years, the villagers were unable to raise their children, so they hiked up the mountain with their children and put the children at the gate of the temple. In the early morning, monks went down the mountain to buy alms Then they will take the abandoned children back to the temple to raise them.

Many old monks in the monastery have experience in raising children, not to mention those who have been weaned like Bai Liang, they have even raised newborns whose umbilical cords have not fallen off, taking Bai Liang is as easy as pie.

The strange thing is that Bai Liang, who usually cries and makes a lot of noise at home, can calm down after coming to the monastery.He no longer cries, and more often sits quietly on the straw mat or the futon used for meditation, looking around with his round and big black eyes, as if he is attracted by the new environment and forgets to cry. He was so naive, he grinned and laughed non-stop when he saw the monk.

Seeing this, Bai's father and Bai's mother felt that things might be true as the master said, and that his son might really benefit a lot from growing up in such a peaceful environment, so they donated a large sum of incense money to the monastery, and brought Bai Liang to the temple. He was fostered in the monastery until Bai's mother passed away, and Bai Liang didn't pick him up until he was in school.

It takes six or seven hours to drive from City B to Puchang Temple. Because Shen Heng accompanied him, Bai Liang didn't let the crew go with him. People from the crew and the company went on site inspections and set up the set by the way, which can save time and manpower.

Bai Liang is an investor, so naturally he does what he says, and the others have no objections at all.

They set off from City B early in the morning, and this would be the time when spring sleepiness was prevalent, and Bai Liang couldn't escape it. As soon as he got in the car, he lay on the back seat with his legs bent, his head resting on Shen Heng's thigh, and continued to catch up on sleep.

Shen Heng was well aware of his habits, so when he went out, he brought a woolen blanket from the bedroom so that Bai Liang could cover his body when he was sleeping so as not to catch a cold. Seeing that Bai Liang was asleep, he unfolded the blanket and covered Bai Liang's body, Only one head is left outside.

It really looked like a black sesame ball with a missing stuffing, Shen Heng lovingly stroked the white cool black hair, feeling the warm and cool strands of hair passing through his fingertips.

In this sleeping position, Bai Liang is prone to drooling, and Shen Heng can't relax his vigilance even if he leans on the seat for a nap, so he wakes up from time to time, and wipes the corners of Bai Liang's mouth with a handkerchief.

I don't know what Bai Liang saw in his dream. When he was wiping his mouth, he opened his mouth and bit the handkerchief next to his mouth into his mouth to chew twice. Probably because the taste was not good, he spit it out after eating a few times , closed his eyes and frowned, looking very dissatisfied.

Shen Heng laughed, and couldn't help saying to him: "Greedy ghost, you can put everything in your mouth, and you don't think it's dirty."

When the car got off the highway and passed through a section of rugged mountain road, even an SUV with good performance could feel the bumps.

Bai Liang was still eating a big meal in his dream, although the big meal didn't feel very good, it was better than nothing.As he was eating, he suddenly felt that the place he was in was shaking, as if an earthquake was about to occur.This time it was terrible, he put down his knife and fork, hugged his piece of chocolate cake and tried to find a safe exit.The ground kept shaking, and he was about to fall down several times. He stabilized his body and walked towards the lighted place step by step. When he finally reached the exit, the ground he was stepping on suddenly sank. It also fell down.

Shen Heng only felt Bai Liang's body tremble violently, and then saw him getting up from the seat in a hurry, as if he hadn't woken up, looking around blankly, unable to recover.

He only thought that he had a nightmare, and the nightmare stopped for a while, Shen Heng pulled him back to his side, hugged him and coaxed him non-stop: "Hey, it's okay, it's just that the road is difficult to walk, and it will be fine in a while, you continue to sleep Bar."

It was only then that Bai Liang felt Shen Heng's breath, slowly recovered from the thrilling nightmare, wrapped his arms around Shen Heng's neck obediently, and relied on him for the rest of his life.

Shen Heng had no choice but to hug him and sit on his lap, put his head in his arms, and put his hands on his back, and after a while he would sleep and make small movements in his arms again.

After going through the difficult mountain road, we entered the plain area. It was the busy spring time, and the tractors and tillers rattled in the fields, as well as the shouts of farmers and the neighing of cattle and horses.

Bai Liang was distracted by the hustle and bustle outside, and he didn't want to sleep any more. He poked his head out of Shen Heng's arms, leaned forward, and leaned on the car window to look out. He saw that the outside was busy, and there was an early spring scene. breath.

He even wanted to open the window to get in touch with the outside world, but Shen Heng held his hand and told him like teaching a child: "The air outside is cold, so we can't open the window. If we catch a cold, we can only cancel this trip. You went to the hospital to spend these two days."

Bai Liang turned her head and looked at Shen Heng unwillingly, curled her lips and said, "But I want to see clearly."

While talking, the car passed by a scalper, and the scalper was probably startled by the sound of the car whistle, raised his head and moaned, that face happened to be facing the window of the car, and met Bai Liang face to face, Bai Liang was still arguing with Shen Heng. Without opening the window, he suddenly confronted Niu Tou, so frightened that he let go of his hand, and reflexively hid in Shen Heng's arms.

Shen Heng laughed and hugged him tightly, and said to him: "There are probably a lot of cattle on this road, let's not open the windows."

Bai Liang quibbled: "I'm not afraid of cattle, I was just scared by them because I wasn't mentally prepared. When I was a child living in a monastery, the masters also raised cattle, and I had a share to feed them. Grass!"

Shen Heng smiled lowly and said, "The ones you feed are probably calves."

Bai Liang blushed, glared at him from embarrassment, then got off him sullenly, and leaned against the car window on the other side as if angry.

After staring at the flashing scenery outside the window for a long time, it is easy to get tired. Bai Liang feels sleepy after a while, either yawning or rubbing his eyes. When it happened, Bai Liang held on for a while, it was really uncomfortable, so he turned around secretly, glanced at Shen Heng quickly and carefully, seeing Shen Heng leaning on the back of the chair and sleeping peacefully, his heart was extremely unbalanced, unconsciously He hummed and chirped.

In fact, Shen Heng didn't fall asleep, he immediately sensed any movement from Bai Liang, and heard him humming aggrievedly, and knew that he was extremely sleepy and about to lose his temper, so he opened his eyes and stretched out his arms to him, Said to him in a low and gentle tone: "Come here, I will hug you to sleep."

Bai Liang showed reluctance on his face, but moved his body into Shen Heng's arms very honestly and swiftly, and even acted obediently when he got a bargain, muttering in a low voice what was wrong with Shen Heng.

Shen Heng could only coax him and say: "Sleep, baby, I'll wake you up when we get to the place."

Bai Liang was also extremely sleepy, and he yawned big after he didn't mutter for a while, tears streaming down his face, Shen Heng lowered his head and kissed the corners of his eyes, patted his back, and he closed his eyes peacefully. Eyes, fell asleep again after a while.

Puchang Temple is in the mountains, and the road to it has been built decades ago. After so many years of wind and rain, people and vehicles have walked on it, and some places are already uneven, so the car needs to be particularly careful when driving.

Considering the long distance and the possibility of mountain roads, Shen Heng brought two drivers with more than ten years of driving experience to drive. Even so, he still couldn't escape the influence of objective conditions. .

Bai Liang was woken up again, but with the experience of the first time, he quickly realized what happened the second time, and he didn't lose his temper when he was woken up, but rubbed his eyes with a vague voice He asked, "Isn't it here yet?"

Shen Heng: "We should be there after walking this distance, do you want some water?"

Bai Liang nodded, so Shen Heng asked the assistant sitting in front to pass over the water bottle, opened the lid and fed Bai Liang a few mouthfuls.After drinking water, Bai Liang felt much more awake. He lay down on the car window to look out again, and muttered to himself, "Why don't I have any impression of this place? Did I go the wrong way?"

Shen Heng put down the kettle and said: "It's been so many years, no one has taken care of it here, and the vegetation has become a bit barren, so it's not surprising that you can't recognize it."

Bai Liang said with nostalgia: "A lot of villagers used to come here to chop firewood. When my masters and I went down the mountain for alms, I was often teased by the woodcutters, and they would even share the pastry for me."

Shen Heng touched his head and comforted him: "Maybe now that they have money and can afford coal and natural gas, they don't need to come here to chop wood."

Bai Liang sighed old-fashionedly after hearing this.

The other driver sitting in the passenger seat suddenly turned around and said, "Mr. Shen, the entrance of the temple is just ahead. It seems that there is no road leading to the temple. There is only a stone ladder. Let's park in the open space under the stone ladder, shall we?"

Bai Liang remembered the open space, and said to Shen Heng enthusiastically: "It was built there for pilgrims to park their cars. It used to be very lively during the New Years and festivals. The villagers and peddlers in a radius of more than ten miles all brought their own melons and fruits or Snacks come here to set up a stall, and tourists from other places will also try to take care of their business. The masters are very busy those days, so no one cares about us. Our brothers and sisters ran out secretly, and the vendors saw that we were from the monastery. Children, you will also give us a few candies and fruits to eat."

The car drove into the flat ground, Bai Liang was afraid that Shen Heng would not believe it, so he pointed out the window to show him, Shen Heng followed his fingers to look out, only to see a patch of weeds.

Bai Liang also saw it, he was stunned for a moment, and then said regretfully: "It's too late to worship Buddha and burn incense now..."

Not only that, after Bai Liang stepped on the stone ladder, he felt the desolation of the place. The stone ladder was broken in some places, and the handrails were also broken in several places. It looked like it had been in disrepair for a long time.Bai Liang didn't know what happened after he left here, and was eager to go into the temple to find out, even crawling and running up to the highest point of the stone ladder.

Shen Heng was afraid that he would fall due to exhaustion, so he followed him closely and said to him: "Baby, walk slowly and pay attention to your feet."

Bai Liang didn't care about it, and climbed up with all his heart. After climbing the stairs for more than a minute, he finally saw the gate of Puchang Temple.

The yellow wall paint has peeled off and is mottled, and only the three big characters "Puchang Temple" on the door have traces of paint. When Bai Liang walked to the door, his footsteps stopped, probably because of his cowardice.

The layout of the temple should not have changed at all, but Bai Liang vaguely felt it was a little strange, and when he walked in, he found that the walls in several places had been rebuilt, some houses might have been demolished, and some were Newly built, but the decoration of the old building seems to have not been changed for so many years, it looks very old.

And the monastery is very quiet, I didn't see anyone at first glance, Bai Liang didn't believe in evil, ran through several doors in the front yard once, and shouted loudly: "Master Abbot, Master Huixin, Master Miaofa, Master Dianzuo, Brother Liaokong ?”

Bai Liang yelled several times but no one responded, he couldn't help but feel strange, he had no choice but to follow the route in his memory, and walked to the kitchen, the kitchen was very recognizable, it was just a place with a lot of corn cobs hanging outside.

He walked outside the kitchen, opened the door and shouted inside: "Master Dianzuo, are you in?"

"Call, call, call, what's your name? I'm busy fetching water for cooking in the backyard, who is calling me?" A rough voice came from behind Bai Liang.

Bai Liang remembered this voice, it was the thick mulberry that is unique to fat Dianzuo masters, he turned his head and saw that it was really Dianzuo master, still so fat, with a shiny face, with a belly full, even if he didn't smile, he looked very amiable .

Master Dian Zuo is in charge of the kitchen of the monastery. It seems that he has not retired after so many years. He is a fat man with a big heart. Bai Liang hasn't seen him for several years, and he feels that he hasn't aged a bit.

Bai Liang trotted over and shouted excitedly: "Master Dianzuo, I understand, do you remember me?"

Hearing this, Master Dian Zuo looked him up and down several times, and said in surprise: "Of course! You have grown up so much, I thought I would never have the chance to see you when you grow up in this life."

Bai Liang said with a smile: "I'm back to visit you."

Dianzuo blamed him and said: "After you left, I haven't heard from you for several years. You used to come back to live in the summer and winter vacations, and then you disappeared. In vain, I look forward to you every year and want to cook delicious food for you. You This little one has no conscience."

Bai Liang grabbed her hair and laughed dryly: "Isn't it because I'm too busy with studies after entering high school, so I don't have time to come back to visit you and other masters."

Dian Zuo patted his beer belly and asked him: "Why do you have time to come back this time, does the abbot know that you are back?"

Bai Liang: "The time is too short, I have arrived before I have notified you in advance, I just looked around in the front yard, and there seems to be no one there."

Dian Zuo let out a hey, and said to him: "The abbot should meditate in his room. He is old, and he stays in his room when he has nothing to do on weekdays. Other disciples may practice in the backyard, and some may go down the mountain to seek alms or Part-time job."

Bai Liang was surprised and said: "That's not going to go to so many people for alms, wouldn't the master abbot say that?"

Dianzuo: "What can we do? If we don't go down the mountain to practice deeds, we will all starve to death in this mountain just by relying on the incense money and merit money earned by a pilgrim who comes here twice every three days. Nothing is going well these days, and the villagers After our living conditions improved, we seldom went up the mountain. We could only do it ourselves and have enough food and clothing. I asked my disciples to develop the back mountain and plant some corn, sweet potatoes and beans by themselves, saving as much as we could. "

Bai Liang couldn't believe it, hesitantly said: "But wasn't it very lively before?"

Master Dianzuo said nonchalantly: "Who would have expected this kind of thing? The abbot has nothing to do. Last year, he sent a group of disciples who were willing to return to secular life down the mountain. Now there are only twenty or so people left in the temple. That's okay, okay?" It’s easy for you to come back once, and I won’t tell you such depressing words, and you go to see the abbot, and I will go into the kitchen and make you a delicious meal.”

Bai Liang responded with a hey, and said to Master Dianzuo: "Then I'll trouble you, I'll go see the abbot first, the old man."

Bai Liang and Dian Zuo went back to the front yard after leaving Dian Zuo for a while, Shen Heng and his driver assistant were still standing at the door, Bai Liang walked back to Shen Heng, and said dejectedly: "This place has changed so much, I don't even know, Otherwise, I can help the masters think of a way earlier."

Shen Heng held his hand that was chilled by the mountain wind, and said to him: "It's too late to know now, you have so many evil ideas, you will definitely be able to get them out of trouble."

Bai Liang gave a heavy "Yes" and pulled him inside: "I'll take you to meet the master abbot who watched me grow up. Don't think he's an abbot, but he's actually a very enlightened old man. When you meet him, you don't have to worry about him being biased against you."

Seeing that he was more nervous than himself, Shen Heng smiled and did not reveal what he had done without telling him.
