Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Ah Jue is the Reincarnation of Jitang Living Buddha

Two young lamas, one fat and one thin, came to the gate of Dele Mansion in search of search. They looked up and down the gate of Dele Mansion, and then gently pushed the open door to look inside.There are prayer flags hanging on the corner of the main building of Dele Mansion, yellow ones on the left and green ones on the right. The fat lama said pleasantly, "It's here, it's here." The thin lama nodded again and again and said, "Yes, it must be here. Hurry up and invite the abbot." The fat lama turned around and ran, and met four lamas who were coming. The fat lama said to an old lama: "Abbot, I found it. It should be this house."

The abbot followed him to the gate of Dele’s mansion, stood outside the courtyard and looked around, and then said: “There is a tree at the gate, and there is a rock under the tree, it should be here.” He looked up at the main building again, and suddenly shouted: "By the way, there are yellow prayer flags on the left and green prayer flags on the right." Gangzhu was passing by in the yard, he saw someone at the door, he came over and asked, "What are you doing Bibi painting?" "Excuse me, what's the name of the mansion?" the abbot stepped forward and asked.

"You don't even know the Dele Mansion, who are you looking for?" "Is it the residence of the former Dele Old Galon?" "Exactly." "Is there a six-year-old young master in your family?" "yes." "Young master has been weak all the time?" "What is constant, in the last few days, I don't know what offense I committed, and I always cry." "That's right. We are the Sangha of Jitang Temple in Xikang Province. We are here for the young master. Please tell the master." "What's the matter with you?"

"We are here to look for the reincarnated soul boy of the temple master Jitang Living Buddha. We found your family according to various signs. We want to see your master." Hearing this, Gangzhu didn't dare to neglect, he said, "Wait a minute, I'll go report right away." He turned and went into the courtyard. After listening to Gangzhu's report, Tashi and Deji asked him to invite the abbot and others to the living room.After the two parties exchanged greetings, the abbot went straight to the point and said: "The appearance of the lake shown by the holy lake, the prayer flags on the roof of a house are yellow on the left and green on the right, which is exactly in line with your house; there is a tiger lying under the tree in front of the door. , and the young master of your family should have been born in the 16th Raojiong year of the tiger in the Tibetan calendar, and his zodiac sign is the tiger, so he is the real reincarnation of Jitang Living Buddha, there is no doubt about it.”

"It can't be such a coincidence. My son Ah Jue is born stupid and lacks the intelligence of a soul boy. You must have made a mistake." Tashi said. "Master Dele, Mrs. Dele, yes or no, you let us see the young master once, we will be reconciled." "The young master has been ill recently, and he is not feeling well..." "This is also the same as the result of our divination. The soul boy wants to return to his place of residence in Xi. When he arrives in the temple, his illness will heal without medical treatment." Deji was startled when she heard this, and she said, "Gangzhu, then bring Ah Jue out and let the abbot take a look."

After a while, Gangzhu carried Ah Jue to the living room, followed by Nazhen and the maid.Gangzhu put Ah Jue on the ground, Deji introduced the guest to him and said, "Ah Jue, this is a master lama who came from afar, please say hello." Ah Jue felt strange, and stared at them blankly, without opening his mouth. When the chief abbot saw Ah Jue, he got up quickly. He looked A Jue up and down and said, "It's him, it's him! There is a delicate beauty between the brows, and this child's eyes have the same expression as the living Buddha." Ah Jue became interested in the rosary beads in the hands of the abbot, and he reached out and grabbed the string of rosary beads.The great abbot was surprised, plopped on the ground and shouted: "Living Buddha, we have found you." After saying that, he quickly let go, took off the rosary, and offered it to Ah Jue.

Ah Jue ignored him, played with the rosary in his hand, turned around and ran out of the living room, the fat lama and others quickly got up and chased him out.Tashi stepped forward to help the abbot up, and the abbot said excitedly: "This string of rosary beads is the living Buddha's favorite thing, and it has not left his hands for more than 30 years. You see, Master Ah Jue knows his old things. " Deji was also taken aback, and he and Tashi looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Nazhen looked suspiciously, examining everything that happened in front of her eyes. She looked up at Ah Jue in the yard, who was playing with the lamas.

Tashi also came out of the building accompanied by the chief abbot, followed by Deji. As soon as she reached the steps, her legs felt weak and she couldn't walk anymore.Nazhen stepped forward to support her and asked, "Eldest lady, what's the matter with you?" Deji braced himself and said, "I'm a little dizzy, it's okay." The lamas were having fun with Ah Jue, but Ah Jue was a little weak and out of breath from running.The fat lama chased him and said, "Don't run away, don't run away, little Living Buddha, I'm carrying you behind my back."

Ah Jue pointed at him and ordered: "Get down, I want to ride a big horse." The fat lama quickly lay down on the ground, and the abbot ran a few steps quickly, hugging Ah Jue onto his back.The fat lama got up on the ground, Ah Jue was riding happily with a rosary in his hand. The abbot went back to Tashi and said to him: "Benefactor, this little lama is the attendant of the living Buddha. Jitang Living Buddha is out, and he is responsible for leading the horse. Young Master Ah Jue knows him." Baima came back from the outside with Bianba. He saw the lamas were stunned and asked, "Who are these people?"

"It's the Sangha looking for the reincarnated soul boy." Gangzhu replied. The abbot saw Baima and asked, "This is..." "Our young master. Baima, this is the abbot of Jitang Temple in Xikang Province." Tashi introduced. Baima came over to salute, and said, "Master, you have come a long way, you have worked hard." "Blesser Dele, you have two sons, one keeps a job at home, and the other becomes a monk to worship Buddha. This is really a blessing that cannot be bettered." Deji looked frustrated, she murmured: "Is this God's will, Ah Jue really wants to leave us?"

If a child from an inferior family is recognized as a living Buddha, it is a blessing from heaven, and his entire family will be promoted to the upper class.But for the Dele family, this is obviously meaningless.Tsering Deji is a mother, and a mother who is in the pain of losing a son. She needs a son who is alive and kicking around her knees, rather than a little living Buddha far away in the sky. After the abbot left Dele Mansion, he went to the outskirts of Lhasa. He found Pajia under a row of beautiful white pagodas.Pajia saluted the abbot with clasped hands, and after the abbot returned the salute, Pajia asked, "Is everything going well?" "In front of Master Dele and Mrs. Dele, we have investigated Young Master Ajue, and it has been confirmed that he is Jitang Living Buddha. But...the Dele family is still hesitant. I am afraid that we will not be able to take him away when the time comes." Child." The abbot said worriedly. "It's possible." "Then what should we do? Master Pajia, we have come all the way from Xikang, and we are unfamiliar with Lhasa, so we depend on you for everything." "Tashi and Deji don't like small temples like yours from other provinces. If we want to take the child away, we really have to use our brains." "Master Pajia, if you have any other ideas, everything is up to you!" Pajia pondered for a moment and said: "That's it! You go to visit the regent of Daza, and ask the regent to confirm that this child is the reincarnation of Jitang Living Buddha according to religious rituals. I can only obey." "However, we don't know which way the gate of the Prince Regent's Mansion opens!" Pajia waved to the abbot, and after the abbot approached, Paka whispered something in his ear.When the abbot heard this, Mao Sai suddenly realized, and said happily, "Oh, I see, I see." "Jitang Monastery is a little-known little monastery. If you climb up to a big aristocrat like Dele Mansion, you will have a foundation in Lhasa. Abbot, the status of Jitang Monastery in the Buddhist world will be very different in the future. "Pajia said proudly. "That is, that is. I really don't know how to thank you for your great kindness." Paka smiled but didn't answer. The abbot understood what he meant, quickly took out a satin bag, held it in front of him and said, "Master Pajia, this is the nine-eyed dzi bead given to the small temple by the Panchen Lama when he passed by Jitang Temple when he went to the mainland. The treasure of the town temple. The small temple is remote and poor, and there is nothing valuable, please accept it." Pajia took it over, opened it up for a closer look, and said with satisfaction: "This is a spiritual treasure, precious, precious." Ah Jue happily pushed the little wooden horse and ran in the yard. The wooden horse made a rattling sound. He ran in front of Deji. As soon as Deji raised his hand, Ah Jue ran past her sleeve.He ran back suddenly, sniffed it deliberately and said, "Grandma, you smell so sweet..." "You little gag," Dej said. While running, Ah Jue turned around and shouted: "France, Chanel, France, Chanel..." As a result, he slipped and fell to the ground, and the little wooden horse flew far away. Tashi hurried over to pick him up, and said, "I told you not to run away, you ran sideways, look at your dirty little face, it looks like a grimace." "I'm going to run, I'm going to run." "Run again, and I'll bite your little nose." "There is booger in the nose." Ah Jue said with a smile. Tashi put his head on Ah Jue, who was in his arms, and Ah Jue laughed. "I'll bite your butt." "Ass sucks." "I'll bite your little feet." "There's mud on my feet." When Tashi turned his head, he saw that Deji's eyes were red.Ah Jue asked in bewilderment, "Grandma, what's the matter with you?" Deji fought back tears, turned around and left. Everything in the yard was seen by Baima and Nazhen who were standing in the room on the second floor. Baima said sadly, "Can Ah Juefei go?" "Oh, she is sad, why do you feel sorry for?" Na Zhen said unhappy. "After all, Ah Jue is her own flesh and blood, and now she is going to Xikang, the mountains are high and the road is far away, how can she be willing?" "Now that things are up to now, it's up to her to be reluctant. The lamas of Jitang Temple asked the Regent Daza's letter of reply, affirming that the child is the reincarnated soul boy. The regent also predicted the auspicious day, which is tomorrow, and the lamas will come The mansion welcomes you." "If that's the case, I won't go to Yadong." "My dear son, you can't be stupid. Master Kangsa asked you to go to Yadong to promote you. What is Yadongguan? They are all made of silver, and even the saddle under the crotch is covered with gold and jade." "Grandma, I'm paid by the soldiers, I don't have money to put on the saddle." "Even if you have nothing to lose, going to Yadong will be of great benefit to your career. Don't disappoint Kangsa Kalon's kindness." "Even if I leave, I can't rush at this moment. These days, Dad and Mom are sad, and I can't bear to let them worry about it anymore." "Look at the one you call dear, I really think they regard you as their own son." "Grandmother, they are not mean to us mother and son, do you have to be eccentric?" Baima said disgustedly, and went out angrily. Looking at Baima's back, Na Zhen said angrily, "You have a bad temper, you are so stupid." On the second day, under the leadership of the abbot, Xikang Lamas solemnly entered the courtyard of Dele Mansion, blowing conch shells, beating drums, and holding flying flags, banners, and canopies.Gele, Congmei, Qiongda, Zhandui, Zhuoga and others all stood up and saluted when they saw the invited lamas, while the servants bent down and stuck out their tongues.Ah Jue had already put on a crimson lama suit, and he was so happy that he ran around in the living room.Deji stood aside and looked at him with complicated emotions.Nazhen observed her words and expressions, stepped forward and said, "Ma'am, look how happy Ah Jue is. Since he knew that he was going to be a Living Buddha, his illness has recovered. You should be happy. Why are you so sad?" "What do children know, people are crazy." Deji said unhappily. The abbot and his party entered the living room and went straight to Ah Jue.The room suddenly fell silent, and Ah Jue was also much quieter.The fat lama came and pulled Ah Jue to the center of the room. The abbot stepped forward and folded his hands together, then fell to the ground and kowtowed to him.Ah Jue also knelt down on the ground and greeted the chief abbot.The abbot said happily: "Living Buddha, we have found you. The monks and people in the diocese are waiting for you to return to the temple." Ah Jue thought it was fun, and asked curiously, "Where are we going?" "A place far away, with green mountains and green waters, is the place where you stayed in Xi in your previous life." "Let's go, I'm going to play, let's go!" Ah Jue took the abbot's hand and pulled it away. The abbot turned his head and said to Tashi and Deji: "Donor, don't worry. Little Living Buddha, say goodbye to your father and mother." Ah Jue listened to the abbot's words very much, and knelt down in front of Tashi and Deji.Deji's tears flowed down, and Tashi told Ah Jue: "The Buddha statues, Buddhist scriptures, and alms are all ready for you to bring to the temple. After you go, you must devote yourself to practicing Buddhism and not being at home. Same, naughty and playful." Ah Jue nodded with a half understanding.Seeing that Tashi had finished giving instructions, the abbot said softly, "Little Living Buddha, let's go." He led Ah Jue out.Deji couldn't restrain himself anymore, rushed forward, grabbed Ah Jue, couldn't help touching his little face, and shouted reluctantly: "Ah Jue, Ah Jue!" Ah Jue also hugged Deji's neck, and said affectionately: "Grandma is going too, let's go play." Deji wiped away his tears, and said to the fat lama: "Xikang is hot and humid, you have to think about changing the young master into cotton clothes, he can't touch the smell of wool, he will get a rash." "Donor, don't worry, I will take good care of the little living Buddha." The fat lama agreed. Deji was still worried, and asked again: "Ah Jue, is there anything else you want to bring?" "bottle." "What bottle?" "Grandma's perfume bottle. It smells good, it smells like Grandma's." Deji was moved by hearing this, and she waved to the maid.The maid turned and ran, and after a while, she hurried back with the perfume bottle and handed it to Deji. "Is this it?" Dej asked. Ah Jue sniffed it, held it in his hand, and yelled happily: "I'm going to play, I'm going to play." After saying that, he ran out of the living room. In the courtyard, the sounds of Dharma snails, Dharma drums, and lamas chanting sutras sounded again. The abbot led Ah Jue to walk out of the courtyard gate, and Tashi and Deji sent them out of the gate.Deji suddenly turned around and ran towards the main building. She rushed to the roof and watched the lamas lead Ah Jue away on the street outside the courtyard. She stood among the prayer flags and cried. The guard of honor of the Xikang Lamas walked through the street, and there were many spectators on both sides of the road, including Pajia and Xiaopuci.The abbot and Ah Jue rode through the guard of honor, and the abbot nodded slightly when he saw Paka.Pa Jia also nodded, he was very proud. Ever since Ah Jue left, Deji couldn't think of food or tea, and was devastated.She sits on the steps every day, recalling the scene of Ah Jue playing with the little wooden horse in the yard.Seeing her lost look, Tashi said distressedly, "You've been tanned here every day." "Ah Jue should be in Nyingchi today. There are lush forests over there. They shouldn't get too hot when they walk in the forest." Deji muttered to himself. "Don't think about Ah Jue, he is going to become a living Buddha, and he can't bear much suffering." "I can see Ah Jue playing in the yard every day, and the sound of that wooden horse, rattling... Now it's gone suddenly, a big piece of my heart is missing, it's empty." "Me too! Deji, the pack team to India has already been prepared, this time you come with us and go outside to relax." "I can't bear to leave this yard." "You can't stay in this mood forever. Baima went to Yadong to guard the gate and go with us. He has been waiting for many days." "We should really accompany Ah Jue to Xikang." "Let's go to India. You haven't been back since you came back from studying abroad." Tashi took out a telegram and handed it to Deji, saying: "I asked the head of the Indian firm to visit and listen. This is the reply. You are in Darjeeling My favorite teacher Julia when I was in school is still alive. She is seventy years old. The old man misses you very much. Your fellow sisters Elizabeth, Vivian, and that Indian girl Aishwarya are also looking forward to your return Get together, don't you want to go?" Deji looked at the telegram, moved and cried in Tashi's arms: "Thank you, Tashi, thank you." The next day, Tashi and Deji set off with a pack team of mules and horses. The pack team had a large number of people and stretched for a long distance.Baima and five Tibetan followers waited at the intersection on horseback.Deji rode on the horse and kept looking back at the Potala Palace. Tashi urged her, "Let's go, Baima is waiting for us in front." go. After Tashi and Deji left, Nazhen was the only one in the Dele Mansion who dominated her.On this day, Pajia came to the mansion at the invitation of Nazhen. When he saw the maid in Nazhen's room, he said, "Your mistress asked me to see her." "Come in, the second wife is waiting for you in the room." Said the maid, gently pushed the door open, Pajia walked in, the maid closed the door casually, and disappeared outside.Pajia looked around the room, and seeing Nazhen sleeping on the bed wearing thin clothes, he called out tentatively: "Second wife, I'm here." Nazhen didn't respond, she was still asleep. Pajia boldly went to the bed, looked Nazhen up and down, pondering.Suddenly, Nazhen turned around, looked at Pajia and said affectionately, "What are you looking at?" Pajia was a little embarrassed and was at a loss for words.Nazhen jumped up and hugged him, the two of them rolled down on the bed, Lhasa, a fish and water... After the passion was over, Nazhen lay in Paka's arms, she turned her face and said, "You're dead, you're lying to me!" "Nazhen, I never told you half a lie." Pajia said innocently. "Let me ask you, what kind of medicine did you give Ah Jue?" "Of course it's a medicine to help you accumulate virtue. It's just making him suffer from a little trouble, and it won't kill anyone." "If you didn't say it earlier, I would be worried all day long." "Nazhen, if you poison Ah Jue to death, you will go to hell, and then I won't accompany you." "You are going to hell! As soon as the lama of Xikang came to the door, I knew that you must have made a trick behind your back and kept it from me." "I'm afraid you won't be able to hold your breath. Now it's all right. Ah Jue went to Khamba Tibetan area to become a living Buddha and promote the Yellow Sect. You have no sin against him. He won't come back for most of his life. I'm fighting with you for the property." Nazhen fell silent and turned her face away.After a while, he burst into tears.Pajia touched her shoulder, Nazhen's eyes were filled with tears, she looked up at Pajia.Pa Jia asked anxiously: "Second Wife...what did I say wrong to make you unhappy?" "You are the man in the world...who really loves me, why...you came out?" Nazhen said sadly. "Nazhen, the first time I saw you was at the nun's temple. I panicked at that time. That was fourteen years ago, and I was just a low-ranking attendant in Tudengrad. I was afraid, how dare I have such a class?" Unreasonable thought." "As long as you treat me well, I don't care if you are superior or inferior." Pajia reached out to wipe the tears on her cheeks, and said distressedly: "You are suffering, I know. From now on, it's over." Nazhen smiled through her tears, and put her arms around his neck.
