Mr. Cat

Bodhi, the transliteration of Bodhi in Sanskrit, originally meant enlightenment, representing the highest wisdom of Buddha.It is said that more than 2000 years ago, Sakyamuni achieved the right fruit under the Bodhi tree, and Bodhi was also stained with religious color.

Louis stood under the bodhi tree, looking up at the bodhi-like crown.

When he was very young, the bodhi tree had stood here.Several decades ago, when Guangdu Middle School was re-established, many trees were cut down, and the tallest of the remaining trees belonged to this bodhi tree.But the strange thing is that Louis has never paid attention to this bodhi plant, and now that he thinks about it, Louis himself feels quite puzzled.

"When the linden tree first grew, it needed to be attached to other trees." Louis glanced at the gray bark of the linden tree, and said, "Maybe there is a legendary plane tree hidden in this linden tree."

Lu Guangting became very interested when he heard this: "Grandpa, isn't the bodhi tree an arbor? It couldn't grow by itself when it was young?"

"The bodhi tree is an arbor, but it doesn't mean that it can't grow by itself." As a biology teacher, Louis can say a thing or two about all kinds of trees, but he is not familiar with them, so he is not good at talking nonsense, "I have never raised a bodhi tree either. Tree, if you want to understand it, you should read the dedicated book."

He glanced down at his watch, the minute hand had already pointed to ten, and the evening self-study was about to start.He said to Lu Guangting: "Do you want to go home with me tonight, or go back to where you live?"

Lu Guangting immediately doggedly said: "Of course I followed you, grandpa."

"Okay," Louis patted him on the back and urged, "It's time for class, let's go back."

Before he left, Lu Guangting finally remembered what he wanted to say. He grabbed Louis by the sleeve and reluctantly told him, "Grandpa, you must educate Backgammon tonight, let him know what a combination of work and rest is, every day." up."

Louis fooled him away with a few words, and Lu Wu continued to look at the bodhi tree.

Both "Jiufengzhi" and "Duguangzhi" mentioned trees. One said it was a phoenix tree and said that a phoenix had fallen on the tree, and the other only mentioned an ancient tree in the city in an understatement. "Nine Peaks" is more detailed, but the phoenix fell on the tree, which is so bizarre no matter how you think about it.

"Mr. Cat, have you seen Phoenix?"

Lu Wu nodded without thinking: "Of course."

Louis said in his heart, I can't be full of science now, there are even gods in the world, and what else is impossible.

There is a good saying, bold guess, careful verification.He tried hard to recall the illusion he had seen, recalling whether there was a bodhi tree in the beautiful ancient Buddhist temple.In the heavy rain, the glazed tiles of the temple seemed to reappear in front of his eyes again. Stepping through the three gates, there was a Buddha statue. There was a faint smell of blood on the tip of the nose, green pines and cypresses in the corners of the wall, and the sound of chanting sutras...

There is no bodhi tree.

When most people mention bodhi, they think of gods and Buddhas in their minds. In fact, even he doesn't understand why there is such a tall bodhi plant here. If it is related to the ancient Buddhist temple in the past, it makes sense.Louis was thinking to himself, when a flash of inspiration suddenly dawned on him, he raised his eyebrows and said, "If the bodhi tree existed in Jiufeng Academy, then there must be clues in the poems of the mountain elders!"

He leaned over and hugged Lu Wu, with a brisk tone: "Mr. Cat, do you feel the age of the bottom bone?"

When Lu Wu was picked up by him, he was stunned. After hearing his question clearly, he replied: "The identity of this bone must not be simple. It is wrapped by some kind of force. I can't perceive the specific year."

"Don't worry, let's solve the problem of the main road of the school first." He said while turning his head to look at the main road not far away.

Today's main road is still airtightly covered with a high blue iron fence, strictly guarded against death, and no one is allowed to go in to find out.It stands to reason that the iron fence should be removed today, so that the relevant departments can deal with the piles of bones inside, but until now there is still no movement.Obviously, they also found that something was wrong with these bones.

Thinking of this, Louis sighed softly involuntarily: "I just don't know how they will deal with it."

These dead bones are all monks from thousands of years ago. They were all handsome and handsome young people. They should have been quietly reciting scriptures and practicing in Buddhist temples, but they died overnight.Although their souls were forcibly sent to reincarnation, maybe they don't know how many times they have been reincarnated, but the resentment of being killed at the beginning is still attached to the bones, and they have been sleeping underground for thousands of years.

It is conceivable how intense their resentment was before they died, even without a soul, it could last for thousands of years.Even if they just smelled the scent of Suga, they would wake up from their slumber, and even shed blood and tears of grievance.

"I don't know the cause and effect, I really don't know whether Susa's move is right or wrong." Louis thought to himself.

After all, he is an outsider, even if he knows the ins and outs, he can't make choices on behalf of those monks.What Susa did may be for the sake of those young monks, but in the eyes of the monks themselves, it was the most naked massacre.Even if the soul is still there, the person after reincarnation is no longer themselves after all.

Lu Wu was not as sentimental as Louis. He said solemnly: "Otherwise, I will completely turn these bones into powder, so that resentment will not become a climate, and you will not be affected by them."

"I still hope they can rest in the ground," Louis sighed again, "although I know it will definitely take a lot of detours."

Lu Wu tilted his head to look at him, and Louis saw Lu Wu's golden eyes, and immediately said, "Then it's better to grind it into powder, so as not to affect the teachers and students in the school."

"Okay." Lu Wu didn't say much, but agreed to him lightly.

After the evening self-study get out of class, Louis took Lu Guangting into the car at the school gate.During the lunch break at noon, Louis made a special trip home and drove the car to school. If he hadn't prepared for a rainy day, he might have to hug Mr. Cat and drag Lu Guangting home tonight.

When Lu Guangting was silent, he looked like a cool and beautiful boy.Where ordinary people can't see, Shuling Bubugao is sitting on Lu Guangting's shoulder with a dejected face, with that beautiful female star face on her face, even if she is frowning, she looks lovely and charming.Lu Guangting had been tortured by sugar-coated shells for several days, and he was obviously immune to this beautiful face, so he kept his eyes fixed on the bodhi tree.

On the way home, Lu Guangting was eager to try, lying on the back of the seat, and asked Louis: "Grandpa, what are you and the gray cat doing at the Bodhi Tree in the afternoon?"

With Louis, the vampire, and Shuling, the nine-chapter arithmetic master, behind, Lu Guangting has a good acceptance of all non-human supernatural species.Recently, there has been a lot of noise about a pile of bones dug up on the main road. Lu Guangting has already heard a lot of gossip. Today, Louis and Gray Cat are uncharacteristically walking around by the linden tree, and there is something wrong at first glance.

Lu Wu didn't move in all directions, lying on the co-pilot to sleep, and when he heard Lu Guangting speak, his ears only turned slightly.Lu Guangting's words went in the left ear and out the right ear, so he pretended he didn't hear it. Louis glanced at Lu Wu, smiled secretly, and said nonsense: "I'm studying the growth habits of bodhi trees, and I'm preparing a thesis project recently. grow."

"Grandpa, just tell the truth." Lu Guangting looked at Louis suspiciously, and acted like a baby, "I clearly heard you say that there are sycamores hidden in the bodhi tree."

Louis looked at Lu Guangting and the melancholy-faced book spirit from the rearview mirror, and he had an idea. He cleared his throat and said, "Well, I'll give you a stack of books when I go back, and you put the poems related to Bodhi in it. Or find out all the essays, and I'll tell you what we've been up to lately."

Lu Guangting cheered up: "Are you serious?"

Louis stopped at the intersection of Huahai, turned sideways and stretched out his hand: "High five for oath."

Lu Guangting hastily clapped hands with Louis, the force was so great that his palms were flushed red.Lu Guangting shook his hands, hissed and inhaled, and bargained with Louis: "Can I ask Shuling to look for it with me?"

"Of course, that's your freedom."

The Fengqi River is sparkling at night, and the city's gorgeous neon lights are reflected on the river, making this calm and gentle river peaceful and gentle.Louis drove on the Fengqijiang Bridge, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the radiant river, and couldn't help but think of the Fengqijiang in yesterday's rainstorm illusion.

That is the ancient city of Guangdu, majestic, majestic and magnificent, with such a grandeur that it almost drowns people.

The colorful neon lights that belong to the modern city are replaced by hazy lights, and the sky turns a warm orange-red.Louis was startled, looked down, and in the blink of an eye, the steering wheel in his hand had disappeared, replaced by the reins of the horse.

He shuddered, sweat dripping from his forehead.Trying to think about what he experienced just now, he drove past the Fengqi River Bridge and glanced at Fengqi River...

Then the world spun and everything changed.

He tried his best to calm himself down. As the saying goes, once you are born, you are familiar again. You just experienced it once yesterday, and today is just another one.Most likely it was caused by the resentment on the bones, Louis couldn't help laughing wryly, as expected, it's better to be crushed, the compassion must not be easily moved, otherwise he would have to go on a day trip to ancient times every day, it would be terrifying.

He looked around, and in the night, there was a gigantic monster dormant on the river, its silhouette was looming, it was also a bridge, but it was obviously not the reinforced concrete Fengqi River Bridge.

Not far from him, there are painted boats moored on the river, and people can be vaguely seen swaying in the painted boats.The night in the ancient city of Guangdu was also extremely lively. As far as he could see, thousands of houses were brightly lit. He looked up at the other side of the Fengqi River, and all kinds of fireworks suddenly exploded in the sky. He heard children's shouts of joy.

Even though this is an illusion, he can still feel the smoke and fire in the world, so real.

Thousands of years ago, or a thousand years later, Guangdu has always been so lively and prosperous.

I just don't know whether Mr. Cat and Kotei came here with him or stayed in reality.He was straddling the steed, and when he was at a loss, he suddenly heard a call.

"The good-gone monk."

He looked back uncontrollably, and saw an elegant literati in Tsing Yi holding a piano and smiling at him.

He raised his hand, and Louis sharply noticed a string of round beads wrapped around his wrist.Following his movements, there was a jingle of the Buddha's bell, and Louis finally confirmed that the person he was possessing now was the Sutra Monk.

Monk Shan Shi got off his horse, strode towards the man in Tsing Yi who was holding the piano, and said joyfully, "Xie Sheng? Why are you here?"
