The next morning, the sun broke through dawn,

A golden sunlight shone in Jiangyan Village.

The elderly in Jiangyan Village also got up early.

Many of these old men rowed wooden boats and came to the river to fish.

The children in Jiangyan Village jumped happily into the river and swam.

Like a fish in water.

Lin Fan, Wang Guocai and Zheng Guangming were standing by the river at this time, watching the scene.

Wang Guocai said, "Brother, how should we start inquiring?"

Zheng Guangming held his hands behind his back and said, "I have asked about most of the elderly, and there is only that person."

He pointed at an old man on the river.

The old man was sitting on the small boat on the river, holding a fishing rod in his hand.

"I went to ask this person before, but he didn't claim to be unaware of it like others, just told me not to ask too much," said Zheng Guangming.

Lin Fan looked at the old man on the river and asked, "So, what do you think he knows?"

"Yes." Zheng Guangming nodded: "He is also the last person who may know about this."

Lin Fan pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's wait a moment."

Time passes by little by little.

The three of them sat by the river. The scenery here was beautiful and quite comfortable.

When it was Wu, the old man rowed the boat and returned to the shore.

Lin Fan and the two stood up and walked towards the old man.

The old man looked kind and kind.

After the three of them arrived, Lin Fan smiled on his face and bowed and said, "Hello, sir."

"Those three?" The old man narrowed his eyes, and then saw Zheng Guangming, he said: "Are you three here to inquire about the temple in our village?"

"That's right." Lin Fan nodded.

The old man waved his hand: "There is nothing to inquire about."

After saying that, he made a move and wanted to leave.

Lin Fan hurried forward, blocked the old man's way, and said, "Old sir, we are just curious. Logically speaking, there should be no Buddhist temple at the size of Jiangyan Village."

"And, at night in the Buddhist temple, there are always sounds of chanting scriptures. The villagers are panic. The three of us are here to deal with this matter."

Listening to Lin Fan's words, the old man shook his head slightly: "That Buddha temple has never harmed anyone, so what should I do?"

Lin Fan bowed deeply: "I would like to ask the old man to talk."

The old man frowned slightly and asked, "You three really want to know?"

The three of them nodded.

The old man looked at Lin Fan and others with a flash of eyes, and then said, "Follow me."

As he said that, he walked in front and walked into Jiangyan Village.

The three of them hurriedly followed.

It seems that this old man knows about this Buddhist temple.

The old man brought the three of them to a adobe house.

Although the weather is hot, the adobe house is quite cool.

The old man sat on a wooden chair in the hall, and Sushou pointed at the other wooden chairs: "Sit down."

After the three of them sat down one by one, the old man took out a cigarette, took a sip, and said to Zheng Guangming: "You have come to see me before."

"Yes." Zheng Guangming nodded.

The old man said lightly: "Do you know why I don't want to tell you?"

Zheng Guangming naturally shook his head and said he didn't know.

The old man smiled faintly and said, "I know you are here to destroy this Buddhist temple."

"Actually, many people like you have come." The old man said slowly: "But they were unable to destroy this Buddhist temple."

The three of them looked at each other as they listened to the old man's words.

Lin Fan asked, "This Buddhist temple has existed for many years, right?"

The old man said, "It's been three or four hundred years."

When he said this, the old man said, "Actually, there is no need for you to waste time. This Buddha temple is strange, but it has never harmed anyone."

Listening to the old man's words, Lin Fan said, "Sir, do you know about this Buddhist temple?"

"I know a little bit." The old man nodded slightly: "More than four hundred years ago, our Yanjiang Village was remote and dilapidated, and there were few outsiders coming, but later, a monk named Faming came here."

...

Four hundred years ago, Jiangyan Village was located in a remote area and there were very few people who knew it.

The villagers here rely on fishing and farming, and rarely contact the outside world.

But suddenly one day at noon, a young monk came.

This monk was twenty years old and had a beautiful face.

The villagers of Jiangyan Village were very welcoming and enthusiastic about the sudden arrival of such a monk.

The monk is called Faming, and he is a monk Youfang in a large temple.

Traveling monks like them travel all over the world. On the one hand, they can give themselves the opportunity to personally live in the world, and on the other hand, they can travel all over the place and preach Buddhism.

The villagers in Jiangyan Village naturally do not understand Buddhism, but they respect Dharma very much.

Faming then prepared to live in Jiangyan Village for a while and tell the Buddhist teachings to the villagers here.

That day, he was arranged to live in the village chief's home.

The village chief's surname is Nan, and he has a daughter, who is about sixteen years old, and is named Nan Qingyi.

Nan Qingyi heard that a monk from outside came, and was quite curious. He saw this monk from the boudoir.

But I found that this monk was quite beautiful and fair-looking.

Unlike other fishermen in the village, they are darkened due to long-term fishing and labor.

"This female donor is polite." Faming greeted the woman with a smile when he saw the woman coming.

Nan Qingyi also nodded, her eyes quite curious.

Faming lived in Nan Qingyi's house like this.

The two also made friends.

Every day, Faming would tell Nan Qingyi about Buddhism.

But Nan Qingyi always doesn't understand.

The relationship between the two is becoming increasingly close.

Sixteen-year-old Nan Qingyi was already at the age of marriage, but she never had the right person.

She was also quite in love with Faming.

On this day, Nan Qingyi took Faming out of the river to catch fish.

On the surface of the river, Nan Qingyi skillfully operates fishing boats and fishes.

Fa Mingze sat cross-legged behind him and chanted the scriptures in a low voice.

Nan Qingyi turned around, looked at Faming's appearance, and said with a smile: "Master Faming, you recite scriptures every day and tell you so many secrets of Buddhism every day, but can this secret of Buddhism still make everyone full?"

I will tell you about the Dharma of Buddhism every day, but I have never thought about this issue.

He was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Nan Qingyi said again: "Mr. Faming, why do Buddhas say ruthlessness?"

Faming Dao: "Sentient beings but not sentient beings, they all attain Bodhi."

"It is not the Buddha who said that ruthlessness is the wonderful and bright true heart. The true heart is the Buddha's heart, so ruthlessness is the sentient being."

Nan Qingyi said: "But this can't make people fill their stomachs."

Faming said: "When a person lives, he cannot live just to fill his stomach."

Nan Qingyi: "What about that? Those who are short of clothing and food cannot recite a few Buddha's name, so they won't be hungry, right?"
