Chapter 42 1. Vow

In order to fulfill his wish, He Zhendong went to Beijing with Huang Mengran and Su Hongxiu on the weekend. He Zhendong left very mysteriously, instead of taking the plane, he took the train.This trip to Beijing is nominally to fulfill a wish, but in fact, it is to let Master Zhishan of Fayuan Temple predict the future.  In fact, Huang Mengran met Master Zhishan through Ding Nengtong.When Huang Mengran was the director of the reception, Xiao Honglin went to Fayuan Temple, and he was fortunate to accompany Ding Nengtong.From then on, Huang Mengran got acquainted with Master Zhishan. Master Zhishan had a senior brother at Longquan Temple in Dongzhou. Recently, Master Zhishan asked Huang Mengran to deliver something to his senior brother. The relationship between the two seemed to be closer. 

Since Fayuan Temple is located on the east side of the south end of Jiaozi Hutong outside Xuanwumen, the three of them lived in Beijing Grand View Garden Hotel, which is located in the beautiful scenery of Grand View Garden in Xuanwu District.  Although it is a four-star hotel, stepping into the lobby is like going through a tunnel of time, and being in the world depicted in it, with elegant buildings and fresh gardens, seems like a dream.Facing a couplet:  False and true, true and false Inaction, there is, there is, and there is nothing After He Zhendong watched it, he felt like he was in a illusory world. 

Huang Mengran opened two rooms, a standard room for himself, and a deluxe room for He Zhendong and Su Hongxiu.After sitting on the train overnight, it can be said that it was full of travel and dust, Su Hongxiu couldn't wait to go to the shower room.  The sound of rushing water, accompanied by the aroma of the shower, stimulated He Zhendong's impulses. The most pleasing thing for a man is a woman who has just walked out of the bathroom and washed all her lead.A woman is in the best mood and feels the best when she takes a bath, as if she is in a secluded dream.  At this time, Su Hongxiu was lost in her narcissistic dream, enjoying her own unique beauty without any scruples. Images of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling flashed in her mind from time to time, thinking that if she was the woman in love, she would be more suitable. who? 

After thinking about it, I don't think I have anything to like, because I am a woman who likes to conquer powerful men. In comparison, the women in Bizhong are courageous, capable, and attractive.  When Su Hongxiu was complacent, her white and tender breasts were pinched by a pair of big hands, and when she turned around, she was already held back by a hard object.  "I hate it! It's scary!" Su Hongxiu said charmingly, and threw herself into He Zhendong's naked arms.  "Baby, it's your birthday today, how about treating you to a Red Mansion Banquet tonight?"

"Honey, I just want to eat you!" "What do you want to eat me?" "Eat your heart!" "Unfortunately, my heart has been stolen long ago!" "You mean I'm a stealer?" Su Hongxiu's skin was like white smooth satin under the shower water, and He Zhendong couldn't help but kiss her cherry-like nipples with his thick lips.  "Isn't it? Brother Dong, do you like love or sex?" "Is it different?" "Of course it's different. Some people live a life with love and no sex, and some people live a life with sex and no love. The happiest one is of course with both love and sex."

"Do you think we are unhappy?" He Zhendong asked treacherously.  "Zhendong, there is something I want to tell you, but I'm afraid you won't be happy!" Su Hongxiu said anxiously.  "What's the matter? Be polite to me!"  "Brother Dong, I'm pregnant!"  After hearing this, He Zhendong's heart skipped a beat, "Didn't the red sleeve be knocked off?" "I'm pregnant again!" "How long has it been?" "It's been more than two months!" "Kill it quickly!"  He Zhendong lost all emotions, and his strong stick suddenly weakened. 

"Brother Dong, if you kill me again, I may never be able to have another child. I want this child!" Su Hongxiu begged.  "Nonsense! The child is born without a name or a role, what's the matter?" He Zhendong said with a dark face.  "Brother Dong, I guarantee that the child will not drag you down after birth!" "Baby, what's wrong with you today, why did you become confused. My current identity has created an illegitimate child. Once it is publicized, how can I mess around in the officialdom. Aren't you hurting me?"  He Zhendong simply wiped his body with a bath towel, put on his pajamas and walked out of the shower. Su Hongxiu's tears welled up all at once, and she wrapped herself up with a towel and followed out aggrieved. 

"Brother Dong, this is our child!" "What happened to our children? Didn't two of them be knocked out? Then it's over!"  "He Zhendong, you are so heartless!" "Hongxiu, it's not that I'm unfeeling, it's that the environment doesn't allow it. Be obedient, let's get rid of it. It's almost the end of the year, and the relocation of the Yaowangmiao community is very difficult. You won't let your brother explode the scandal at the two sessions?" "If you don't tell me about the two of us, who will know?" Su Hongxiu said, wiping away tears. 

"Hongxiu, do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me? It's not how important your brother and I are, but my position is important. Let alone Zhang Tienan from Huang County, who has similar qualifications to me. Before going to Huang County, a One is the mayor of Jinqiao District, and the other is the mayor of Xitang District. Now that I am the deputy mayor of Dongzhou City, he will feel comfortable? If you give birth to this child, I don’t know how many anonymous letters will be sent to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and even the Central Committee. Commission for Discipline Inspection, haven’t the lessons learned by Xiao Honglin, Jia Chaoxuan, and Yuan Xifan not been deep enough? Hongxiu, you can do whatever you want, but you can’t have this child!”

Su Hongxiu wiped away her tears without saying yes or no.  At this time, Huang Mengran knocked on the door, and He Zhendong said, "Wait a while." The two hurriedly got dressed, and He Zhendong opened the door after Su Hongxiu washed and dressed.  "Mayor He, I just talked to Master Zhishan, and it's really destined. It just happens to be here. Let's go!" "It's good to have fate, it's good to have fate!"  He Zhendong was wearing a tie while talking, and Su Hongxiu Xiaoniao combed He Zhendong's hair in a friendly manner. The three of them walked out of the Grand View Garden Hotel and took a taxi to Fayuan Temple. 

The ancient trees in Fayuan Temple are towering, especially cloves. The flowers of old Beijing were famous for lilacs from Minzhong Temple, peonies from Chongxiao Temple, crabapples from Kek Le Temple, and peonies from Tianning Temple.  At the peak of the Qing Dynasty, there were more than 300 lilacs and white lilacs in Fayuan Temple, known as the "Sea of ​​Fragrant Snow".Now it is late in summer and autumn, of course, I have no chance to witness the charm of the sea of ​​lilac flowers.  The three of them walked into the mountain gate, passed through the Tianwang Hall, and faced the Daxiong Hall.The Daxiong Hall of Fayuan Temple is not high. Walking up eight steps is the main entrance of the hall.The front door looks like it has four leaves, but only the middle two can be opened.  In front of the hall stands six stone tablets from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Among them, the "Fayuan Temple Stele" engraved in the 12th year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty is a history of Fayuan Temple. Source" plaque, this plaque clarifies the meaning of the name "Fayuan Temple".  The hall enshrines the statues of Sakyamuni Buddha, Manjusri and Puxian Bodhisattvas shaped in the Ming Dynasty.On both sides of the main hall, there are eighteen arhat statues carved in wood in the Qing Dynasty.  After He Zhendong offered incense, he put a new stack of RMB into the merit box, which was worth 10,000 yuan. The eyes of the old monk who was sitting next to him knocking on the wooden fish lit up, and then he closed his eyes and began to recite sutras.He Zhendong and Su Hongxiu knelt down devoutly, chanting their hearts silently, and it took a long time for the two of them to stand up.  At this time, Huang Mengran brought over a great monk in his sixties, dressed in a Buddhist yellow monk robe, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. "Boss He, this is Master Zhishan, Master Zhishan, these two are my friends." Zhishan clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, the two benefactors, come with me!" He Zhendong also bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Zhishan." The three of them walked out of the Daxiong Hall with Master Zhishan, and under the guidance of Zhishan, they visited Fayuan Temple. Master Zhishan introduced the history of Fayuan Temple while walking, and walked into the Mizhong Terrace unconsciously.  "Master Zhishan, I heard that Minzhong Terrace is also called Nianfo Terrace and Avalokitesvara Hall. I don't know if the "Cuncheng" bestowed by Emperor Kangxi's imperial pen is related to the "Piety" of Buddhism?" He Zhendong looked at the "Cunyin" hanging in the center of the Avalokitesvara Hall Sincerely" asked on the plaque.  "Cuncheng is a Confucian thought, but it coincides with the piety of Buddhism. It means that whether you are dealing with things or people, you must keep a sincere heart in your heart, so that you can be worthy of the heaven and the earth."  "Then what is the source of law?" "After the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court advocated precepts and set up an altar of precepts here. In the twelfth year of Yongzheng, the temple was designated as a temple of Luzong, and it was officially renamed Fayuan Temple. The "Fahai Zhenyuan" written by Emperor Qianlong The meaning of "is very clear. Thousands of precepts and criminal laws are all "flows", and sincerity in the heart is the "source". The law sect is the development of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, the country was unified, and the unified precepts also needed to be implemented within Buddhism. In the case of strengthening one's own organization, a sect founded by Daoxuan. Vinaya divides the precepts into two categories: the upper and the second: the upper is "not to do all evil", and the second is "to do all good". This should be As the saying goes, don't do evil because it is small, and don't do good because it is small!" "Master is still talking about the Fa. What is the source?" He Zhendong asked seriously.  "The donor may wish to take the Dharma as the source, and know the heart to reach the source!" "Master, why does Buddhism say that the sea of ​​suffering is boundless?" Su Hongxiu interrupted and asked.  "If you don't forgive all beings, if you don't forgive all beings, you will be suffering. If you don't worry about yourself, others will never be able to worry about you. Learning Buddhism is to explain to your own conscience, not to show to others." "Master, what is cultivation?" Su Hongxiu continued to ask.  "If you see the faults and right and wrong of all living beings every day, you have to repent. This is practice. Practice is to correct your wrong concepts." "Master, what should I do to complete my merits and virtues?" Su Hongxiu asked reverently.  "There is only smoothness in this world, there is no perfection. People who think they own wealth are actually owned by wealth; people who think they have power are actually slaves to power." "Hongxiu, you have asked for such detailed advice, do you want to become a monk?" Huang Mengran said jokingly.  "I hate it! People are just asking casually." Su Hongxiu gave Huang Mengran a look and said.  However, He Zhendong kept thinking about how to get rid of the child in Su Hongxiu's stomach. He vaguely felt that Su Hongxiu wanted to play for real. Once the child was born, he would never be able to get rid of the relationship with this woman in this life. But these people are looking for their own excuses. Once the child is born, they will die.Thinking of this, his heart was overwhelmed, and he thought that he would not let her give birth to the child even if he died.  "Master, what is Suiyuan?" Su Hongxiu was still chattering.  "Following the fate is not muddling along, following the rules, but obeying the destiny of the Son of Man. Coming is accidental, and going is inevitable. Therefore, you must follow the fate and stay the same." He Zhendong became a little impatient, he wanted to ask about the future, but it was inconvenient to ask in front of Huang Mengran and Su Hongxiu, so he hinted: "Master Zhishan, I am more concerned about the future of people, what is the future of people? To hell or heaven?" "Is the benefactor He asking about the future? The old monk only talks about Zen for people, not the future for others, but the benefactor He cares about the future of people. The old monk might as well give you eight words: I also gave these eight words to a man in Dongzhou. A benefactor surnamed Xiao, unfortunately, he still couldn't figure out where heaven and hell are, and finally lost his way and entered hell by mistake. In fact, heaven and hell are in our hearts, and our hearts do not know how much it takes to go back and forth from heaven to hell every day times. Therefore, these eight characters are: take the law as the source, turn your head and be right!" After hearing this, He Zhendong said disapprovingly: "Master, there is no turning back in life. The so-called turning back is just a delusion in life!" After hearing this, Zhishan smiled and said: "The benefactor has no destiny with the Buddha, so please go back." After Zhishan finished speaking, he turned around and walked away without greeting anyone.At this time, five or six people passed by the Guanyin Mercy Zhongtai, and one of them happened to see Huang Mengran, Su Hongxiu, and He Zhendong coming out of the Guanyin Hall. She knew Huang Mengran through Ding Nengtong. This person was none other than the Dongzhou Municipal Committee. The wife of Deputy Secretary Zhou Yongnian, Liu Fengyun who works in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.At this time, Liu Fengyun had been promoted to the deputy director of the Sixth Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and accompanied a colleague from a certain provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection who was working in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to visit Fayuan Temple.  "Mengran, why is it you?" Liu Fengyun's greeting shocked Huang Mengran, thinking, this time I came to Fayuan Temple secretly, I don't want to run into any acquaintances, why would someone call me by my first name?  Huang Mengran looked up, felt a little bit in his heart, and had no choice but to greet him with a smile on his face, "Oh, Sister Liu, what a coincidence! You are old Beijing, and you also visit Fayuan Temple?" "Accompanies a few friends, who are these two?" "Sister Liu, let me introduce you. This is Mayor He of Dongzhou, and this is Su Hongxiu of Dongzhou TV Station." Huang Mengran's introduction was a bit embarrassing, but He Zhendong seemed very calm, "I've heard that Yongnian has a beautiful and capable wife, and seeing her today really deserves her reputation. Brother and sister Fengyun, it's a pleasure to meet you!" "I can't imagine that Mayor He still has a Buddhist and Zen mind in his busy schedule. However, Fayuan Temple is indeed a good place to practice Zen. The two soldiers who died in Tang Taizong were buried together, and this Minzhong Temple was built. To comfort the dead, so here is not only a place to save the dead, but also a place to awaken the living." "Unexpectedly, Feng Yun also knows Zen. No wonder Yongnian lives like an ascetic. It seems that he has been strictly controlled by his wife!" He Zhendong laughed.  "I have long heard that Mayor He lives a chic life. Don't forget that Buddha talks about cause and effect! Mengran, give Neng Tong a favor." After Liu Fengyun finished speaking, she giggled and turned to leave.He Zhendong stared blankly at Liu Fengyun's back, thinking, it seems that I really have no destiny with Buddha!
