Chapter 1035 [Death like a lamp goes out] (1)
No one answered in the hall, Meng Chuanmei's voice was already weak, and she deliberately suppressed her voice. Even if there were people in the hall, she couldn't hear it clearly. That is, Zhang Daguanren was not good at martial arts and had super strong ears, so he could hear it clearly.
Meng Chuanmei said: "You forgot...you forgot everything...you forgot what you said to me here back then, you forgot the promise you made to me..."
Zhang Daguanren thought to himself, who was the person Meng Chuanmei mentioned? Ten were Qiao Mengyuan's biological father. Calculate Meng Chuanmei's age. Zhang Daguanren turned back thirty years later. Meng Chuanmei was very young at that time. With Meng Chuanmei's background, it was impossible to run into this mountain valley to find ordinary villagers in Xiaoshiwa Village. The biggest possibility was to find educated youth here. Zhang Daguanren remembered the photo he got from Su Yuanyuan back then. There were eight people in the photo, including Xu Changde, Chen Tianzhong, Wang Junyao, Chen Jingxian, Dong Dezhi, Chen Aiguo, and two people's identities became a mystery. Among them, Xu Changde and Wang Junyao and Chen Jingxian were complicated. Chen Tianzhong and Shen Jingxian had a relationship, but Meng Chuanmei had no experience of jumping into the lineup here. Who did she have emotional entanglement with?
The more you think about it, the more confused you become.
Meng Chuanmei was lying under the Buddha statue at this time, muttering words in her mouth and reciting Buddhist scriptures. After waiting for about twenty minutes, she was still lying there like a meditation.
Qiao Mengyuan finally couldn't help but push the door and walked in. She was shocked when she saw her mother's appearance.
Official Zhang quietly flashed out from the side. As for what he heard, of course he would not reveal any news.
Qiao Mengyuan hugged her mother's body and said with a distressed heart: "Mom, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"
Meng Chuanmei whispered: "I'm fine, I'm fine... I've said that I'm quiet, are you okay to let me calm down?"
Qiao Mengyuan said, "No! If you kneel down, I will kneel with you. If you recite scriptures, I will recite scriptures with you. From now on, I will go wherever you go, and whatever you do, I will do as well!"
Master Zhang was secretly shocked when he heard this. Could it be that Meng Chuanmei became a nun? Qiao Mengyuan would also be a nun? If that was the case, it would be a pain for herself. He followed Qiao Mengyuan and was struggling for so long. In the end, he became a monk. What... Isn't this forcing him to disrespect the Buddha in the future? Master Zhang's thinking was very broad.
Meng Chuanmei said: "I have become a monk and have already cut off the ties of this world. Why are you suffering?"
Qiao Mengyuan said silently, still kneeling aside, her temperament was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. The decision would naturally not change.
Seeing that Meng Chuanmei was so determined, she could only let her go.
Zhang Yang came outside the Jade Buddha Hall and saw the great monk Jishan standing next to the incense burner. Zhang Yang walked over and said with a smile: "Master Jishan is fine?"
Ji Shan proclaimed the Buddhist chant and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your righteous help. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to express my gratitude to Mr. Zhang, but I finally met it today."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I have a fate to meet you thousands of miles away, which means that I have a fate with the master." He turned around and looked at the Jade Buddha Hall, and whispered, "Have you ever seen this donor before?"
Ji Shan said: "It seems familiar... but I can't remember where I have seen it. Maybe I misunderstood. There are too many people who look similar in the world."
Master Zhang paid attention to Jishan's expression and felt that Jishan should not have lie. Zhang Yang said, "Who does the master feel like her?"
Ji Shan smiled and said, "There are so many people in this world that I can't remember..." His words were interrupted by the ringtone of his cell phone.
Zhang Yang's cell phone rang, he smiled at Jishan and walked to the side to answer the phone. The phone was called by Lin Xiu. The signal in the mountains was not very good. Zhang Daren listened intermittently. Well, he changed several positions after a long time. He just heard clearly what Lin Xiu was saying.
Lin Xiu said: "Zhang Yang... Meng Chuanmei's blood test results have come out. She may have radiation disease..."
"What?" Zhang Daguanren said loudly.
"Radiation disease! It is about long-term exposure to radioactive elements, which causes chronic damage to her body."
Zhang Yang frowned. This matter was a bit too bizarre. How could Meng Chuanmei come into contact with radioactive substances?
Lin Xiu said: "The doctor suggested that she would better come to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination."
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements as soon as possible!" He expressed his gratitude to Lin Xiu again, and then hung up the phone.
At this time, an electric light flashed in the sky, followed by a rumbling thunder sound. Zhang Yang looked up and saw that the sky was covered with clouds and a storm was about to come.
Meng Chuanmei finally finished chanting. Qiao Mengyuan called Zhang Yang and asked him to help him help Meng Chuanmei up. The two of them helped Meng Chuanmei out.
Meng Chuanmei whispered a few words to Qiao Mengyuan, and Qiao Mengyuan nodded. It turned out that Meng Chuanmei wanted to be convenient, so Zhang Daren was naturally not good for him to be present. Qiao Mengyuan helped her mother through the back door of Xishan Temple to the woods behind.
Official Zhang was waiting at the back door. After waiting for a while, he felt a raindrop of soybeans falling in the sky. Zhang Yang secretly shouted, "It's not good, they didn't bring an umbrella, and they were probably going to be poured into a drop of chickens. The rain became very big in an instant. Official Zhang complained secretly, "Is it because Meng Chuanmei was convenient around the temple that angered the Old Buddha, so she specially started to punish her?"
Official Zhang stood under the eaves of the door to shelter from the rain, waiting a little anxiously, and suddenly heard a miserable scream from the woods, but the sound belonged to Qiao Mengyuan.
Zhang Daguanren's face changed. He no longer cared about avoiding suspicion and rushed towards the place where the sound came out at full speed.
Qiao Mengyuan was lying on the edge of the cliff, her hair was messy, and her clothes were all wet by the wind and rain. Meng Chuanmei could not be seen around.
Official Zhang immediately understood what was going on and grabbed Qiao Mengyuan. Qiao Mengyuan said in disgrace: "My mother...my mother jumped down from here..."
Zhang Yang looked down, but saw that it was raining and misty on the cliff and could not see the bottom. If Meng Chuanmei jumped from here, it would be a little bit of good luck. Zhang Daguanren was a little puzzled. Meng Chuanmei could hardly stand up, so where did she get the strength to jump off the cliff? Could it be that she has been disguising her all the time?
Qiao Mengyuan cried so sadly, and she was still holding her mother's Buddhist beads in her hand. She said sadly: "I'm going to find my mother...I'm going to find her..." Zhang Daren pulled her over and hugged her tightly in her arms.
Qiao Mengyuan was extremely sad and bit Zhang Yang's chest. Zhang Daren took a breath of air conditioning, and this mouthful almost bit off his chest muscles. Zhang Yang reluctantly hugged Qiao Mengyuan, and the heavy rain poured on him, wet all their clothes.
Jishan and Zhou Shanhe rushed over when they heard the news and were shocked when they saw the scene in front of them. The cliff in the forest behind Xishan Temple is called Wangchen Cliff. Few people know that there is such a cliff hidden in the forest. How could Meng Chuanmei know so clearly?
In the eyes of Zhang Daren, the things in front of him were planned by Meng Chuanmei. She insisted on coming to Xishan Temple. The purpose was to tell her thoughts in front of the Jade Buddha, but to fulfill her wishes. After completing this matter, she used the excuse to go and make sure that Zhang Yang could not follow him. Then, while Qiao Mengyuan was unprepared, she jumped off the Wangchen Cliff.
Qiao Mengyuan fainted from crying. Zhang Yang carried her back to Xishan Temple. Jishan arranged a Zen room for them. Zhang Yang never expected that this would end. If he knew this, he would not agree to come to Xishan Temple.
Zhang Yang used his internal strength to steam the clothes on Qiao Mengyuan's body, lit her sleepy hole, put her on the bed, and looked at the tears on Qiao Mengyuan's face, Zhang Daguanren sighed in his heart. Leaving the Zen room, Ji Shan walked over, and he put his hands together: "Amitabha, donor Zhang, I suddenly remembered that the donor Meng should have been here just now."
Zhang Yang nodded, he could guess this matter without saying it.
Ji Shan said, "It was about thirty years ago. At that time, it was the most violent time. A group of young people in Xiaoshiwa Village gathered together to destroy the four old ones. They wanted to smash the Jade Buddha and burn Xishan Temple. My master was seriously injured because he stopped them. At that time, I was still young and impulsive. Seeing this scene, I picked up a kitchen knife from the kitchen to fight with these people. At this time, a group of educated youth came up from the mountain. They convinced the young people. I remember someone said something at that time, putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha. Not only did he point to me, but also to those young people, who finally stopped the destruction of the temple."
Jishan took a breath and said, "Later, I became friends with one of them. He has a deep study of Buddhism and often comes to talk about Buddhist scriptures with my master. Even my master feels guilty."
Zhang Yang said: "Does the master still remember his name?"
Jishan frowned and said, "It's been too long..."
At this time, Zhou Shanhe and Xiaoxiao Mi ran over together. The two searched the woods just now for a while, but could not find Meng Chuanmei's shadow. It seemed that Meng Chuanmei had indeed jumped off the cliff.
Zhang Yang handed Qiao Mengyuan to Jishan for care. He decided to go to Wangchen Cliff to find Meng Chuanmei, who wanted to see people in his life and corpses in his life. When Jishan saw that he insisted on going in the rain, he asked the little novice monk to lead them and walked around the mountain road beside him to the bottom of the valley to search.
Xiao Sha Mi Yuguang took Zhang Yang and Zhou Shanhe to the bottom of Wangchen Cliff. The valley below was called Wangchen Valley. Because it was raining, the mountain road was difficult to walk, and many small roads were destroyed by mountain torrents. When we walked to the bottom of the valley, the rain became heavier and heavier. The three of them searched separately and searched the bottom of the valley for more than ten minutes but could not find Meng Chuanmei. In the end, Xiao Sha Mi Yuguang discovered that there were vultures hovering above his head. He pointed up and said, "Are vultures looking for food?"
Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes and looked at the cliff lingering with rain and mist above, took a deep breath, and climbed up the cliff.
Zhang Daren's super climbing ability made the other two stunned, watching Zhang Yang's body disappear into the rain and fog.
