Who is not a monk

"Can you benefactors take a few pictures alone?"

"Crack..."

"The benefactor can move around as he pleases."

"Crack..."

"The benefactor, please come to the corridor and watch me demonstrate."

"Crack..."

"If the two benefactors are lovers..."

"..."

"Is the benefactor satisfied? The monk's photography skills are not good. If there are any deficiencies, please advise, and the monk will continue to take pictures for the benefactor." The tall monk handed him the phone with a smile, and stood there waiting.

Chen Shu took a look at the photo.

Hold a big grass!

Composition, lighting, perfect so far!

Chen Shu was stunned immediately.

Immediately he raised his head and said to the monk: "Brother, have you eaten your fast?"

"Just ate."

"That's good. Brother's photography skills are so superb, so you have to take a few more photos for us. I will write a commendation letter and send it to the religious association."

"Amitabha, the almsgiver has praised you absurdly. To be honest, among the brothers and sisters I know well, the monk's photography skills are the worst." The monk clasped his hands and said modestly to Chen Shu, "But please write more letters of praise. open."

"no problem!"

After about an hour.

Chen Shu crouched in the shadow of the corridor, flipping through the photos one by one, while Ning Qing stood on his left, looking down indifferently.

The little girl squatted with him, leaning closer and staring at the phone without blinking.

Taozi also grabbed his knees and looked up.

It was shot really well.

Good memories.

Chen Shu put away the phone, there was only one last thing left.

Diamond pre-test luck.

The diamond mentioned here is not a diamond. It is a stone in the yard in front of the Dharma Protector Temple of Xinzheng Temple. It is said that this stone is very magical. When you touch it quietly and sincerely, it can tell your luck in the next few days. bad.

Is it amazing?

But it's not that useful.

One is that it can only tell you whether your fortune is good or bad in the next few days. The principle is to observe your personal mental state in the next few days, but it is not necessarily accurate.

Some people have better psychological qualities, and they don't take small setbacks to heart at all, so they can't be measured accurately.

The second is that when you know the result, the answer is actually invalid.

To put it bluntly, what it observes is not your "luck", but your state in the next few days in the original trajectory, but when you know the result, in fact, your trajectory has probably changed.

For example, you didn't intend to gamble at first, but after you measured "good luck", you went to gamble.

It is naturally invalid.

And vice versa.

Naturally it is not allowed.

But it still has a certain effect.

For example, if you detect "bad luck", you can do nothing at home to avoid bad luck.

Or some people with strong enough self-control can also take advantage of this rule. For example, he will buy a stock tomorrow no matter what, but after measuring good luck, he can buy a little more, and if he is unlucky, he can buy less. is useful.

However, each person can only be tested once in a lifetime.

It's basically useless now.

So Xinzheng Temple placed it in the outer courtyard to provide some fun for tourists and pilgrims, and it also attracted many people to come to check in.

Speaking of which, traditionally speaking, Buddhism in previous lives did not know fortune-telling.

It's just that later religions and cultures blended, and Buddhism prostituted a lot of Taoist knowledge for free, so I often saw pictures of monks unwrapping fortune-telling on TV.

In this world, things have changed.

Chen Shu led a few people to the courtyard of the Dharma Protector Palace. He turned his head and asked Qingqing, "Would you like to take a test?"

She looked at him indifferently.

"Ok."

Chen Shu muttered that I was a fool, walked to the diamond and started to line up.

A monk stood in front of the diamond, interpreting it for everyone, because the diamond does not directly issue results, and only Buddhist disciples can know its answer.If it is good luck, the monk will say "I wish the benefactor good fortune in the next few days", if the luck is not good, he will bow and say "benefactor, please take care in the next few days", anyway, he will not directly tell you that luck is Whether it's good or bad is uncertain, and you can't blame him.

The long line has come to an end.

Chen Shu walked over, clasped his hands together, and bowed sincerely: "Please, Master."

"Don't dare."

The monk made a gesture of please, with a gentle tone.

So Chen Shu put his hand on the diamond.

Starts hard and cold.

I don't feel anything.

The monk beside him nodded to him and said, "I wish the benefactor good luck in the next few days."

Chen Shu grinned, and made palms together in return.

This result has long been expected.

This stone is completely useless to him. With Chen Shu's mentality, very few things can affect him. Even if he dies in the sand sculpture group, with his personality, he will be sad on the surface at most, but in his heart he finds it very interesting.It is difficult for any setback to really make him depressed.

Turn away.

The little girl stood behind him, and it was her turn.

I saw her imitating her brother-in-law, putting her hand on the diamond, and then turning her head to look at the monk.

The monk clasped his hands together: "I wish the benefactor good luck in the next few days."

The little girl hurriedly learned to put the palms together in return, and then briskly ran back to her brother-in-law, and said to her brother-in-law:

"Brother-in-law, I am lucky!"

"I found that most people are lucky." Chen Shu approached her and said quietly.

"what……"

The little girl looked disappointed.

The two continued to look at the courtyard.

The monk clasped his hands together, lowered his head and said to a kitten with its paws on the diamond, "I wish the benefactor good luck in the next few days."

"Wow~"

The kitten ran back quickly.

"..."

"..."

It seems that this thing is really not accurate at all.

Three people and one cat walked out of this temple, ready to stroll around again, took a few photos and went down the mountain.

As we walked, the corridor in front of us suddenly became clear, and the tourists seemed to disappear unknowingly. At the end of the corridor stood a tall figure of a monk in red.Chen Shu once thought that he and the others had strayed into the inner courtyard by accident. If that was the case, how embarrassing it would be.

Now this situation is a bit weird, even Tao Zi reacted, quickly turned her head, looked left and then looked again, with a bewildered expression on her face.

But if it happened in Xinzheng Temple, there would be nothing to be afraid of.

Chen Shu walked forward slowly.

This figure looked like a god from a distance, lofty and unfathomable, but the closer he got, the more ordinary he became. When he walked in front of him, he had become like an ordinary monk.It's just that this red dress shows that he has at least a high level of cultivation.

"Amitabha."

The monk bowed to him.

"Amitabha."

After all, Chen Shu had a conversion certificate, and he bought a lot of food for nothing, so he returned the gift decently, and then asked, "Is the venerable looking for us?"

The monk in red smiled gently: "I would like to ask the benefactor, what did you say to my Buddha when you were in the Lingyun Palace?"

Is it so direct?

It seems that something went wrong.

What caused it?There should be not a few people who came to ask the Buddha such a question, right?If the Buddha could hear everything, could he really bear it?

Chen Shu answered honestly while thinking: "What I'm asking is, where have you all gone?"

"Thank you benefactor."

The monk in red saluted again with a smile on his face: "The poor monk came to answer the almsgiver on behalf of the Bodhisattva. He said that the process of finding the answer is very interesting, and often you can get more things besides the answer. If the almsgiver is willing to find the answer, You can go west first. But if the benefactor doesn’t want to seek the answer, you can ask him in person the next time you meet.”

"Buddha?"

"The Bodhisattva of Responding to Tribulation."

"Where is Zhengguang Buddha?"

"My Buddha cannot answer the donor."

"why?"

"The Bodhisattva said, when we meet, you can ask him personally."

"But I didn't ask him."

"Zhengguang Buddha is a Buddha, and Yingjie Buddha is also a Buddha. The donor is just asking a statue."

"Didn't the venerable come to me and say a lot... nothing nutritious?"

"It's all about connecting with the benefactor."

"Interesting, so when will we meet?"

"See you when we meet."

"emmm..."

Chen Shu turned his head and glanced at the little girl behind him.

The little girl stared blankly at the monk.

"Amitabha."

The monk chanted the Buddha's name again, and then said: "I still have two disciples who are predestined to be with the benefactor. When we meet in the future, I will ask the benefactor to take care of you... so that the poor monk will not disturb you, and we will meet again if we are destined."

After saying that he disappeared.

The corridor suddenly recovered——

An uncle next to him is taking pictures of his aunt, speaking in dialect. In the distance, five young ladies in cool clothes are dancing spicy dances for the Buddha to watch. The ears of the three of them and one cat are filled with the music they played. Pretty neat.

The sudden loud noise made people uncomfortable.

Chen Shu scratched his head, and said to the little girl behind him, "Look, what comes out of your mouth is nonsense, and what others say is unfathomable. Can you reflect on where the problem lies?"

The little girl nodded heavily, deep in thought.

Ning Qing remained expressionless.

These two people...
