Chapter 57 Tongyang Temple (modified)

Chapter 58 Tongyang Temple (modified)

This century-old temple is not as big as imagined. The apricot-red temple door is full of mottled history. There are two golden door knockers embedded in the vermillion-colored temple door. A plaque hangs directly above the door with the three characters "Tongyang Temple" written on it.

 The small doors on both sides are fully opened to facilitate visitors to enter the temple. Father Fang walked into the temple first. There were very few monks in the temple. Except for a monk who was cleaning the temple, everyone could only faintly hear the sound of wooden fish knocking and the monks chanting sutras. There is a small wooden table on the left side of the temple with free incense candles and merit boxes.

It was the first time for Fang Qing to come to the temple to offer incense. He followed in his mother's footsteps, burning incense and offering it, and then knelt down and prayed.

Fang Qing actually didn't know what she wanted, nor what she should pray for, but when she came to this temple, facing the majestic Buddha statue in the hall, and hearing the tapping sounds of wooden fish in her ears, her heart actually Miraculously calmed down.

Fang Qing didn’t know if the Buddha could really relieve her doubts, but at this moment she sincerely hoped that if there really was a **** in the world, he would bless her family with safety and health. As for her own future, she believed in herself more.

At some point, an old man sat next to him. The old man was wearing an ordinary monk's robe and lit a lamp under the Buddha statue.

"Girl, is there something you don't understand?" The kind voice made Fang Qing turn her head, and she immediately saw the old man sitting beside her.

"Old man, thank you, I don't seem to have any confusion." Fang Qing replied politely.

The old man smiled, his thin face full of smiles. He touched his beard and shook his head, "You can't see clearly when you are in it. Girl, whether you believe it or not, you can only pick it up if you put it down first. Amitabha…"

 The old man saluted the Buddha, slowly got up and left.

Fang Qing didn’t understand what the old man’s words meant. It wasn’t until a gust of wind blew and a cool feeling on her face that she realized that she had cried at some point...

Fang Qing felt relaxed all over after offering the incense. Her mother also felt that the temple was a magical place and that coming here would make people very relaxed. Several people turned around and were about to leave, when their mother saw the merit box on the side. She generously took out more than ten yuan and threw it in solemnly. Fang Qing saw several sachets on the yellow wooden table at the door.

At this time, a fat monk with a round head came over. When he saw Fang Qing looking at several sachets, he smiled and explained, "Little donor, these are amulets consecrated by the abbot of this temple. Wear them with you to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune." , if you like it, you can take a few back.”

Although Fang Qing feels that the amulets in the temple may not be as effective as the monks say, buying some and taking them with you can be considered a psychological comfort. Although these amulets may be small, they are not cheap. Just when Fang Qing was hesitating, Fang's mother actually bought seven or eight with a wave of her hand. Fang Qing suddenly felt that the monk opposite him was smiling even more.

After going down the mountain, Fang Qing couldn’t laugh or cry while holding the seven or eight amulets in his hand. In the past, her mother would have to argue with others for a long time when buying groceries, but she didn’t expect her to be so generous in the temple.

But my mother believed that this thing could bring peace and security, and it was worth buying it even for dozens of yuan, let alone more than ten yuan. He also told Fang Qing to follow the fat monk's instructions when he went back. After bathing and fasting, he should wear the amulet inside his personal clothes.

In the morning, we went to the temple to offer incense. At noon, our family of four had dinner at a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain. Fang’s father found out that there was a small antique market in Tai County, so he took the family of four there to have a look.

 After shopping in the antique market for a long time, Fang’s father bought a copper incense burner and an emerald green bracelet for Fang’s mother. Although Fang Qing didn't understand, he felt that his father must have been fooled. The color was at most jade, but Fang Sheng said it was jasper, and the family couldn't stop him. Fang's father finally paid for it.

The eldest brother was not interested in any of this and was following his family boredly. Suddenly he saw a jade-colored pendant and thought it would look great on his sister. The boss squatted on the ground and pulled his rice. Without raising his head, he directly told Fang Ming that this thing was worthless and if he wanted it, he could take it away for 20 yuan.

Fang Qing came over and saw the pendant and liked it very much, so he immediately paid for it. The pendant was oval in shape, resembling a not-full moon. It didn't look like real jade, but it felt warm and moist. Fang Qing liked it more and more, so he put it together with the amulet.

The family spent a day shopping in Taishan County. After returning to the hotel, they took a hot shower and fell asleep in a hurry.

Fang Qing held the amulet and jade pendant in his hands and gradually fell into sleep.

 At night, the surroundings were quiet. Fang Qing held the jade pendant in his hand and slept a little uneasily. The soft moonlight outside the window hit the jade pendant, and the refracted light just hit Fang Qing's eyebrows.

As the moonlight passed by, the light disappeared, and Fang Qing's slightly frowned brows gradually dispersed.

At this time, Fang Qing found himself lying in a dark room, his hands and feet tied to the bed with straps.

 The doctor and nurse came forward to check on her status and confirmed that the medicine had taken effect and that she had completely calmed down, and then they breathed a sigh of relief. Then a strange man came in and asked everyone to get out. He approached her with disgust and said something in her ear.

Fang Qing, who had been as quiet as a corpse just now, suddenly struggled violently, but after being tortured by drugs for a long time, she could no longer speak complete words. She could only stare at the man with abrupt eyes, looking at the man fiercely, and slurring curses in her mouth. more than.

"Why do you want to harm my father? He has no enmity with you. If it's because of me, you can attack me. Why do you want to attack him? Why do you attack them?"

The man beside the bed smiled sinisterly, "Why? Because your family shouldn't have been there in the first place."

 Feng Qing wanted to continue saying something, but found out that he had just injected himself with the drug. His body reacted violently. His tongue was so stiff that he couldn't make any sound, he could only roar like a mute!

Fang Qing frantically wanted to rush to the man for revenge, but his limbs were fixed to the bed, waiting for others to pronounce the sentence like goods to be slaughtered.

Her reluctance drove her into a state of madness. Originally, she thought it was because of herself that the entire family was destroyed, but it turned out that there were other reasons.

Fang Qing had a ferocious face and kept yelling at the man, swearing in his heart, "One day, I will definitely seek revenge on you, and you will all die a bad death."

But the man looked at her as if she were a joke, and then casually told the doctors and nurses outside the door, "You don't have to take good care of her from now on, just treat her like a dog. I want to live a miserable life."

The man laughed and walked away, leaving Fang Qing on the hospital bed struggling painfully, but no one cared about her. She was trapped in this dark corner forever like a puddle of mud that was constantly struggling.

The moonlight fell again, and Fang Qing woke up in bed and couldn't recover for a long time.
