In the old lady’s story, that Jiang Zhongqiu, that child, although very kind in himself, had a very rough fate.
Because he was too special, the orphanage often happened, so Jiang Zhongqiu in the age of four years old, it was adopted to go.
The first couple to adopt Jiang Zhongqiu was a couple of overseas traders, the family was quite rich, but never had a child.
Since the adoption of Jiang Zhongqiu, the family’s business has been in the doldrums, with a series of disasters and accidents.
Afterwards, the couple asked a fortune-teller to tell their fortune.
The fortune teller said that the child they adopted was too special, and that their good fortune could not be suppressed. If they kept the child at home, the family was afraid that there would be a great disaster.
Later, Jiang Zhongqiu was sent back.
But from the beginning to the end, Jiang Zhongqiu never had a complaint, that child even cared about his adoptive parents, hoping that they could leave their own after the business is good.
To be honest, the old dean had been the director of the orphanage for so many years, and had come into contact with a lot of parents who regretted their adoption, but there had never been a pair of parents who got along with their children in such a way.
After that, Jiang Zhongqiu had been adopted many times, but almost every time, the family that adopted him had bad luck.
Jiang Zhongqiu knew that he was very unlucky, and had said many times that he didn’t want to be adopted, nor did he want to stay in an orphanage; he wanted to go to a temple.
So in later years, when an old monk suddenly appeared in the orphanage, the old director finally gave the boy away.
After hearing about Jiang Zhongqiu, Chi Yusheng then came to a realization, “So that’s what happened, I can’t imagine that in this world, there are such strange people.”
Zhang Chu then said, “Alright, let’s go meet this child.”
The old dean then sighed, “Ai, counting the time, nine years have passed, that child, should already be nine years old, I don’t know how much he has grown.”
In the end, Zhang Chu and the others bid farewell to the orphanage and headed to the Lenan Temple.
The Lenan Temple was a small temple in this city, which was halfway up an ordinary hill, and after the group’s cars were parked at the bottom of the hill, they walked up the hill.
The location of the temple was quite high, but the road up the mountain was very narrow, it was not a tourist area, nor was it too famous, not many people came to offer incense.
At this moment, Zhang Chu, the few people, Hot Pot, and Chi Yusheng’s family, climbed up the mountain step by step.
Just halfway up, the crowd saw a young monk of eight or nine years old, carrying a large traveling bag down the mountain.
When the crowd saw this little monk, they immediately looked excited.
Calculating the age, this child, should be that Jiang Zhongqiu.
It could be seen that this child had a clear gaze and was wearing a plain cloth coat that looked very neat and tidy, and from a distance, one could feel an aura that made people very calm.
Of course, that little monk had also seen Zhang Chu’s several people.
Without waiting for Zhang Chu and the others to open their mouths, the little monk unexpectedly spoke first, “Amitabha Buddha, my master is waiting for a few of you on the mountain, so if you have anything to say, go and speak to his old man!”
With that, the little monk came in front of Chi Nian Ling, and after he saw Chi Nian Ling, he even directly knelt down and kowtowed three times to Chi Nian Ling.
Chi Nian Ling was shocked and hurriedly said, “Aiya, what are you doing, get up, get up!”
The little monk then said, “Amitabha Buddha, I don’t know why, my master instructed me that when I go down the mountain, if I come across a female almsgiver holding a box, I must sincerely kowtow to her three times.”
After saying that, the little monk brushed past the crowd and walked towards the bottom of the mountain.
Only after a long time did Chi Yusheng say, “It looks like he doesn’t realize that Nian Ling once saved him.”
Zhang Chu looked at the little monk’s back and spoke faintly, “Within this small temple, there are high people ah, high people who have temporarily sealed his wisdom root, making him no different from ordinary people.”
“In the future, if there is an opportunity, this little monk, can soar to the heavens.”
Chi Yusheng then looked at Zhang Chu, “Then us?”
“Let’s go to the temple, didn’t the little monk say that his master is waiting for us on the mountain.”
Saying that, the crowd followed Zhang Chu and went up the mountain together.
It could be seen that the temple’s fence was very worn out, some parts had obviously collapsed, it was patched up with some stones from the mountain, and there were still some gaps.
Despite the seams, it was neat and tidy, and the entire temple, gave people a very fresh feeling.
When the crowd arrived, they saw an old monk cleaning, taking the fallen leaves from the ground and sweeping them to the roadside.
Although Chi Yusheng’s family did not believe in Buddhism, but seeing this scene, Mrs. Chi still hurriedly took out two thousand dollars from her pocket, while inquiring, “Master, may I ask you where is the merit box in this temple?”
When the old monk heard Mrs. Chi’s words, he raised his head and said faintly, “Amitabha Buddha, monks do not catch money, this temple does not charge incense money, if Mrs. has the intention to salute the Buddha, just go to the Buddha and light three incense sticks in front of the Buddha, the incense and the candles, they don’t need to be paid for.”
When Mrs. Chi heard this, she hurriedly said, “Master, don’t misunderstand, this money of mine, is not for you to spend, it is for the temple to repair the courtyard wall.”
The old monk then continued, “Amitabha Buddha, the temple’s courtyard wall is broken, my disciples and I have hands and feet, and there are rocks on the mountain, so we can repair it, no money is needed.”
“Ma’am, it’s better to take the money back.”
Saying that, the old monk put the broom away and put it aside, and then came to Chi Nian Ling’s body and spoke, “Give it to me, it’s time for it to come back.”
The box fell into the old monk’s hands.
Only to see that after the old monk took the box, he recited a few verses, and a burst of mysterious chanting sounds unexpectedly came from that box.
These chanting sounds were just like the same as when they were in Chi Yusheng’s house.
When Mrs. Chi saw this, she immediately fell to her knees in fear and hurriedly kowtowed to the old monk: “Living Buddha, Living Buddha!”
Of course, Zhang Chu, a few people, didn’t feel much.
And after the old monk had done this, he gently stretched out his finger and pointed it at Chi Nian Ling’s brow, while reciting a few more Buddhist scriptures.
It could be seen that Chi Nian Ling’s complexion, all of a sudden, stretched out, with a feeling of being enlightened, or a great matter being put down in his heart.
At this moment, Chi Nian Ling’s temperament had completely changed, and there was a feeling that could not be described, but could clearly be felt that she had become normal.
Zhang Chu couldn’t help but mutter in his heart, “This old monk, so powerful!”
And it was only after the old monk had done all of this that he spoke, “Several monks, you can wander around the temple, although the temple is not big, you can rest your feet for a little while.”
Chi Yusheng knew that the old monk was trying to detach his family.
So Chi Yusheng spoke, “Thank you, Master, then let’s take a look around first.”
The old monk looked at Zhang Chu again, “This gentleman, inside please!”
Zhang Chu nodded, “Please!”
Night Diem, White Diem as well as Hot Pot were very conscious of not following them inside.
The old monk led Zhang Chu, directly to the temple’s main hall, which contained a worn out Buddha statue, but no tables, chairs or benches.
The old monk led Zhang Chu to the Buddha statue and said to Zhang Chu, “Sir, this visit to the small temple is to fetch one thing.”
Zhang Chu froze for a moment, and then hurriedly shook his head, “No, no, no, you’ve misunderstood, how could I possibly come here to fetch something, I’m just sending the blessed beast back.”
The old monk on the other hand said indifferently, “Having sent something, you will inevitably take something away, since you have come here, you naturally have to take that thing away.”
Saying that, the old monk directly came to the front of the Buddha, and with a stretch of his hand, he unexpectedly took out an old piece of parchment from within the hidden compartment!
