Chapter 174 I am very low-key
The phone kept ringing three or four times, which made Nishino very upset.
"I won't call sooner or later, but I just call at this time! Who is that?" Nishino frowned and took out his cell phone to see that it was Yan Ling's number. He quickly clicked the answer button.
"Secretary Yan, hello." Nishino deliberately stretched out the word "okay".
"Old classmate, if you call me like this, I'll see you. I'm now in the airport waiting hall of S City. The flight takes off in an hour and arrives at Baiyun Airport at around 9 o'clock in the evening." Yan Ling said.
Nishino (a little accident): Oh, do you want me to pick me up at the airport?
Yan Ling (waving his hand): No, I will call you again after the plane lands.
Nishino (doubt): What's the good thing about coming to Guangdong this time? Training or inspection?
Yan Ling (stopped): We will go on a business trip... Let's talk about it in detail after we meet.
Nishino (nodding): I'm not free now, so I'll contact you again.
Yan Ling: OK, go ahead and go.
Nishino: I got it and contacted me in time, goodbye.
After hanging up the phone, Xiaoxiao held Nishino's arm again: "Whose phone number?"
"Yan Ling, I don't know what he came to Nanyue this time, and said he wanted to meet me." Nishino responded.
"Oh, it's your classmate who is the secretary of the municipal party committee?"
"That's right. He came from afar, and we have to do the landlords at once."
"It's really troublesome to entertain government officials, so I'd better go there to Huatian Hotel."
"That's fine. The municipal party secretary usually has people accompanying him on business trips, so, there are at least four or five of them."
"No way? How many people are traveling with each other on a business trip, and they pay for the public expenses for eating, drinking, defecation and urination?"
"It's probably true. This is their internal affairs, and we just need to entertain guests."
"Then how long do they have to stay in Nanyue?"
"No question."
"You, you always don't go through your brain. If Yan Ling is the only one, it will not be a problem for him to live in my house for as long as he lives. If there are too many people, it will not be very convenient for us."
"Our family is not a reception desk for the government agency. At most, it's OK to invite them to have a meal. There is no need to mobilize all the workers. As for staying... I'll give them a 20% discount on the hotel." Nishino said with a smile.
"This is almost the same. Let's go to the boutique street to take a look." Xiaoxiao's expression became much more relaxed.
"The boutique street at night must be very lively." Nishino hugged Xiaoxiao's shoulder and walked forward.
"Wow, it's so cute." Xiaoxiao stood in front of the window, looking at a teddy bear of about 1.7 meters inside.
"Do you like it?"
"Um."
"Then let's go in and take a look." Nishino took Xiaoxiao's hand into the boutique.
As soon as he entered the store, Nishino saw a monk with gold-rimmed glasses. His head was shining and six black dots were on his head.
Nishino looked at the monk again and couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't that Master Huiwu?" He didn't go up and perform Buddhist rituals to Master Huiwu immediately because the master was busy."
The master was in his fifties and had poor eyesight. He only focused on selling his Buddha statues and Buddhist beads to the shop owner. He did not notice that Nishino and the other two had come in.
Xiaoxiao pulled the corner of Nishino's clothes and asked, "Husband, do all the monks have black spots on their heads?"
"That's not called black dots, it's called Rings. The monk's Rings are like a symbol of status and status, representing their level." Nishino smiled.
"Is monks very good at it?" Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
"Yes. After several months of freshman training, the young monk who had just been slapped will take a simple test. If the test is passed, the old monks in the temple will use incense to help them light the first ring scar of their monk's career, which is called "clean heart."
"Oh, does it take another extra ring scar every time you pass the test level?"
"Well, in the next one or two years, if the young monks perform well, such as not drooling when watching the Lock Code Channel, or no longer looking around when writing the Diamond Sutra, they will be qualified to get the second scar - Love."
"Well how many black spots can you get at most?"
"Generally, only monks who have smooth Buddhism will get six precepts in the next few years. Going up, only those highly respected hosts and others will have more precepts. Therefore, the number of preceptors on their heads represents the achievements of the monk's practice. And the abbots of important temples such as Shaolin Temple, Halal Temple, and Longfatang may be senior monks or special monks with eight or nine precepts."
"Are there ten monks with black dots?"
"This tenth scar is not something that ordinary monks can have. Except for Master Bodhidharma and Zen Master Sixth Patriarch, there are no more than five God-level monks with more than ten scars. The highest level is the twelve precepts scars, namely the Bodhisattva precepts."
"Husband, as far as I know, modern monks have no ring scars on their heads, so what's going on?"
"When monks lit the scars, if they do not do it well, they will cause vision damage to the person being stolen, and this damage cannot be restored. Generally, people who lit the scars on the scars on the same day will swell. In 1983, the Chinese Buddhist Association abolished the tradition of calculating scars since the Yuan Dynasty, and it has been more than 20 years since then."
"What does the meaning of the ring scar mean?"
"Burn incense with your body, burn yourself and illuminate others with your own laws. Remind yourself that you should sacrifice yourself for others when you never forget the teachings of Buddhism."
"But I saw some monks coming and going in many entertainment venues with bright lights and wine, which was unreasonable."
"Times are changing, and the precepts of monks are changing. Monks are no longer a belief, but a profession."
When Nishino said this, Master Huiwu was already standing behind him, putting his palms together: "Amitabha, why did the donor say this?"
"Master, did you say it wrong?" Nishino turned around and performed a Buddhist ritual to Master Huiwu, "Amitabha."
"How can you say that you are not wrong?" The master refused to give in.
"Didn't the ring scar on the master's head draw?" Nishino avoided answering.
“Hot.”
"impossible."
"If you don't believe me, just touch me, just change it if you don't know."
Nishino reached out and touched Master Huiwu's head a few times. It turned out to be a real scar. It was very strange: "Hasn't the tradition of "Tang Jie Scar" been cancelled?"
"Depending on the principle of voluntary action, I have been reborn in Buddhism for more than ten years, and my thoughts of returning to secular life have been cut off, and I have devoted myself to practicing, so I asked the monk to give me a precept scar."
"What does it mean to sell Buddhist beads and statues today?"
"Mencius does not lie. I am here to give alms to Buddhist principles and promote Buddhism. The cost of small items is not profitable."
"Disciple is ashamed and misunderstood the master."
"The donor has good face and evil hearts." I will give you a few words."
"Speaking."
"Don't post your money, it's like paper in the hospital. Don't post your job. When you fall down, countless people will do better than you. Don't post your room. If you go, it's someone else's nest. Don't post your car. If you leave, the car key will be in someone else's hands!"
"Master, I'm very low-key. I'm just out of the sun without any sunshine."
"Master, I will do the next thing-" Xiaoxiao said, "The only thing you can show off is your health. When others are gone, you can still bask in the sun, drink tea, and enjoy a healthy life. Please be kind to yourself, because the parts of your body are not easy to match, the prices are so expensive and there is no goods, so health is priceless!"
Master Huiwu was stunned: "Who is the female donor?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. Do you still remember what the master said in Baiyun Zen Temple ten years ago?"
"Remember. Nishino and Cai Linna are both my students. When I went to the Zen temple to ask about Buddhism, I predicted that they would meet again there in ten years..."
"Master, don't mention Cai Linna. The deceased is gone, so let her rest in peace." Nishino signaled to the master to stop.
"Donor, Cai Linna has not yet been buried, where can she rest?" Master Huiwu said, holding a Buddhist bead, "If I still pray for them in Baiyun Zen Temple, there will be no separation between Yin and Yang. Sin, sin. The two donors, cherish them. I have said goodbye."
...
Xiaoxiao doesn't believe that praying can keep people safe. If possible, she would rather burn incense for Buddha at home every day to protect the West Wild Business Market from the West. Every time she gets a big order, she can turn bad luck into good luck when she is plotted against someone.
Lina's entrusted entrusting before her death, and that expectant look, Xiaoxiao has always remembered it in her heart, "Love someone... and love bravely..."
Lina's body is still in the freezer room of the funeral home. Whenever Aunt Jiang Bichun's death day, she would go to that cold place to see her daughter. She said something to Lina alone through the glass for an hour. Of course, Lina could not hear it.
Nishino and the people from the Jiang family mentioned it several times, asking to send Lina's body back to City S and buried it in that maple forest, together with He Yan. Jiang's mother couldn't bear it and politely declined on the grounds that Lina had not passed the door. Losing her husband in middle age and losing her son in old age was a big blow to Jiang's mother.
After all, Linna is the daughter of the Cai family and has not officially married into the Yao family courtyard. Nishino is not good at insisting on it anymore, and she doesn't want to hurt Jiang's mother's heart again.
"Sister Lina's body has been frozen, and Li Abian is dead, so it's time to make a decision." Xiaoxiao said suddenly.
Nishino didn't say anything. He was silent for a long time before he spoke lightly: "I don't want to... I'll send her back to her hometown when the maple leaves turn red this autumn."
"Okay." Long Xiaoxiao returned to the street and was no longer in the mood to go shopping. Master Huiwu's words made her feel depressed.
Nishino pulled Xiaoxiao into a toy shop again, and piles of toys were right in front of him. Nishino walked to a tall teddy bear and said to the waiter: "This, wrap it up..."
"Husband, do you really want to buy it?" Xiaoxiao hesitated, "It's so expensive."
"Of course." Nishino said with a smile, "you get what you pay for, you're worth it."
"It's too big, just buy a hug bear." Xiaoxiao was so moved. He said unintentionally, "So cute" Nishino, who was like "Ma Daha", actually remembered it in his heart.
"Haha, you are quite polite." Nishino's smile became stronger, "Hug the bear without being tall and mighty, handsome..."
Watching the waiter put this oversized teddy bear into the bag, Xiaoxiao seemed to feel that she had returned to her youthful age and was so fascinated by the teddy bear.
After paying, Nishino held a teddy bear that was about the same height as him in one hand and smiled with the other hand. Walking on the boutique street, the rate of turning back was 100%!
