Chapter 170 Bailing Temple, Huineng and Huijing 2
Huijing stood under the monks' robes that had been hung out to dry, pointed and said, "Brother Huineng, look, there are holes all over those clothes, and light is coming through them."
Huineng stood up, looked at the monk's robes, scratched the back of his bald head, and asked, "Brother Huijing, were these clothes like this when you brought them here?"
"Brother Huineng, this is absolutely impossible," Huijing replied, "When I collected the clothes, I checked every piece carefully. There is absolutely no possibility of this.
I think you may have used too much force when wringing it out just now, causing the robes to be unable to withstand the force, so there are holes in them to some extent."
Huineng was a little anxious after hearing what Huijing said: "Brother Huijing, you have to help me think of a solution! I'm in big trouble again this time!"
Young monk Huijing spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless: "Brother Huineng, what are you afraid of?
This isn't the first time you've done this.
If there is any fool who dares to pick a fight with us, you go and deal with him.
Remember, last time we washed all the underwear of the brothers in the Discipline Hall and tore them to pieces, they came to question us, but you beat them up one by one."
After hearing what Hui Jing said, Huineng's head immediately shrank back involuntarily: "Brother Hui Jing, I dare not do that kind of thing again.
Do you remember that last time we had a fight, the abbot punished us by not letting us eat for a day?
That’s really difficult!
The presiding abbot also said that if I dared to fight again, he would expel me from Bailing Temple.
Brother Huijing, just think about it, Bailing Temple is so good. There is food, drink and sleep. I just have to do some odd jobs, and I am already very satisfied.
I think it’s hard to find a place like this even with a lantern.”
"Is that so? Then I have to think about it carefully." Huijing lightly touched her tongue with her finger, and after getting some saliva on it, she closed her eyes, rubbed her temples, and looked thoughtful.
The air around is filled with the faint scent of sandalwood and the freshness of earth, and the occasional chirping of birds from the distant mountains adds a bit of tranquility and depth.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment; even the wind slowed down, unwilling to disturb this rare tranquility.
After a long time, Huijing's eyes suddenly opened, as if she had found the key to solve the problem.
He let out a breath lightly, and his calmness made people involuntarily convinced.
Upon seeing this, Huineng immediately stepped forward, grabbed Huijing's hand, and asked anxiously, "Brother Huijing, how are you?
Have you come up with a good idea?"
Hui Jing showed a smile full of wisdom on her face, "Brother Huineng, I have thought of a solution, but I don't know if it is a good solution."
Huineng became even more anxious, "Brother Huijing, why don't you tell me first? It's better than nothing."
"Okay then! I'll tell you, come closer and listen."
Huineng took the initiative to put his ear close to her, and Huijing then opened her mouth softly, "We walked down the mountain behind Bailing Temple, and there was often a big yellow dog halfway up the mountain.
I'll go get the big yellow dog... hehe! ... that's what we'll do!"
After hearing this, Huineng took three steps back and fell to the ground.
"Brother Huijing, are you sure this can really solve the problem?
This is against the commandments!
Why do I feel like I’ve been cheated!”
After Huineng said this, Huijing immediately showed an indifferent attitude.
He used his little finger to pick at his ear and said slowly, "If this doesn't work, then I have no other options.
Weigh it carefully and make your decision."
After saying this, he returned to his work, hanging the torn monk robes one by one on the clothesline, muttering to himself as he hung them: "These clothes are torn in many places, they are almost like a sieve, it's really not easy to repair them!"
Huineng gazed at Huijing's young and busy back, feeling mixed emotions.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Brother Huijing, I have made up my mind, I will do it!
However, please let me know how to proceed."
Upon hearing this, Hui Jing turned around, looked at Huineng with deep eyes, and nodded gently: "Don't worry, Junior Brother, I have a good plan.
Tonight at midnight, in the bamboo forest behind the mountain, I will wait for you. "
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked into the utility room, leaving Huineng alone, standing in the afterglow of the setting sun, his heart continuing to ripple.
At midnight, the bamboo forest in the back mountain was shrouded in a deep tranquility.
The moonlight penetrates the gaps between the bamboo leaves like a thin thread, casting mottled light and shadows, adding a bit of mystery to this quiet night.
As the breeze blows, the bamboo leaves sway gently, making a rustling sound, which together with the occasional cries of night birds in the distance interweaves into a melodious nocturne.
The air is filled with the faint fragrance of bamboo leaves, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, as if all the worries are blown away by the wind.
However, this tranquility did not last long, as a sudden burst of dog barking and cat meowing broke the silence of the bamboo forest.
"Woof! Woof woof!" followed by the sounds of "Miao~miao~miao~" one after another, adding a bit of disharmony to the night.
"Brother Huijing, are you there?" Huineng's voice came from the depths of the bamboo forest, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation.
"Brother Huineng, who else would be willing to perform the 'Tom and Spike' scene with you here in the middle of the night except me?" Huijing's voice came from the shadows on the other side with a hint of ridicule and disdain.
Then, two figures, one big and one small, walked out from the shadows in the bamboo forest. They were Huijing and Huineng.
Hui Jing then said, "Brother Huineng, let's set off now!"
"Brother Huijing, I'll follow your instructions!" Huineng responded without hesitation, and then took a big step forward.
But he had only taken two steps when he heard the voice of Senior Brother Huijing behind him: "Junior Brother Huineng, please wait!
I am small and slow, and the road is bumpy and difficult to walk on at night, and it is all downhill. It would be terrible if I fell off the cliff.
Therefore, it would be more appropriate and more efficient for you to just carry me on your back. "
When Huineng heard this, he thought it made sense, so he stopped, turned around and said, "Brother Huijing is right. If you run with your short legs, it will be dawn when you reach the halfway point.
Come on, get on my back!"
As he spoke, Huineng squatted down and waited for Huijing to climb onto his back.
Huijing jumped up lightly and sat steadily on Huineng's back.
Then, Huineng started his crazy running mode, whether going uphill or downhill, it was as if he was walking on flat ground.
Huineng could just jump over ordinary obstacles of one or two meters high and they could not stop him at all.
Huijing sat on Huineng's back, feeling the thrill like a roller coaster, and couldn't help sweating all over her forehead.
But he knew that this speed was the key to their trip.
After a quick rush, they arrived at the location designated by Huijing in just half an hour.
After Huineng stopped, Huijing quickly jumped off his back.
With the help of the bright moonlight, Huineng discovered that this was not an uninhabited place.
The fields in the distance were obviously well tended, and further away the outline of a cottage could be vaguely seen.
However, when he looked back to find Huijing, he found that Huijing had disappeared.
"Senior Brother Huijing! Senior Brother Huijing!" Huineng called out twice in a low voice, feeling a little anxious.
Just then, Huijing's response came from under a tree in the distance.
Huijing immediately waved in the direction where Huineng was standing and made a gesture for silence.
Upon seeing this, Huineng immediately ran over to meet Huijing to prepare for the next action.
