"Do you grow your own vegetables?" Ms. White asked curiously.”
" Of course." The little nun nodded and smiled." What are we going to eat if we don't plant it?"”
"I didn't expect you monks to grow vegetables so well.”Ms. White couldn't help but exclaim as she looked at the juicy side dishes in the garden.
" This is all taught by my master," the little nun said with a smile." My master only became a monk when she was in her forties. Before she became a monk, she was very good at managing the house. Not only did she know how to grow vegetables, but she also cooked very well. That's why I like to eat the vegetarian vegetarian dishes made by my master the most.”
"So, you planted all these vegetables?”Ms. White asked with a smile.
" Yes." The little nun nodded proudly." There are only five people in Xiangyun Nunnery. Besides me and my master, there are only three old grandaunts. They are too old to do heavy work."”
"Grand-aunt?" Ms. White was stunned.
" They are people who burn incense for tourists," the little nun explained." They are all lonely old people without children, so Master let them live in the nunnery and live on the incense money given by tourists. Master and I grow vegetables in exchange for food to support ourselves.”
"You're a monk. Do you have to go down the mountain to sell vegetables often?”Ms. White asked in surprise.
" I don't have to go down the mountain." The little nun shook her head and smiled." We have an agreement with a female benefactor who grows vegetables at the foot of the mountain. She will come up to pick vegetables regularly and bring food up the mountain for us.”
" I see." Ms. White sighed." I didn't expect you monks to have such a hard life."”
"What's so bitter about it?" The little nun asked with her eyes wide open in confusion," Isn't it good to grow vegetables for a living?”
" That's true." Ms. White looked at her serious expression and couldn't help but nod and smile." It seems that Sister is wrong."”
" But there's a downside to being on the mountain," the little nun sighed." If Master is in seclusion, I won't even have someone to talk to relieve my boredom."”
" Oh, right," Ms. White heard her say this and quickly looked at her and asked," I see that you're quite young. Why did you become a monk?"”
"I'm an orphan that Master picked up. Master brought me up.”The little nun lowered her head and said faintly.
"Ah?" Ms. White was shocked." I'm sorry, I didn't know…"
" It's okay. I don't think about that anymore," the little nun said calmly." Master is very good to me, closer than my family. As long as I'm with Master, I don't feel lonely at all."”
The two of them chatted as they walked. Unknowingly, they arrived in front of a thatched hut. Ms. White looked at the dilapidated thatched hut and couldn't help but ask curiously,"Where is this place? What are we doing here?"
" This is the place where my master is in seclusion." The little nun turned around and smiled at her." My master is inside."”
After saying that, she went up and knocked on the door of the thatched nunnery."Master, the guest you wanted me to pick up has arrived.”
"Invite her in." A kind voice came from the nunnery.
After Ms. White followed the little nun into the thatched nunnery, she saw a nun sitting on a futon in the hall. Although she looked solemn, she looked very young. In Ms. White's eyes, she couldn't be more than thirty-five years old.
She couldn't help but be stunned,'Is this the little nun's master?' How could he be so young? Didn't the little nun say that her master would only become a monk after he was in his forties?
However, even if she wanted to, she could not miss the gift. Because there was only one person in this room. If she was not the little nun's master, who else could she be? So she bowed deeply and said," Hello, Abbess. I've long heard of your name. It's really an honor to be able to meet you today."”
"Benefactor, there's no need to be so polite.”The middle-aged nun pointed at a futon in front of her and gestured to her.
"Thank you, Abbess." When Ms. White heard her say this, she quickly took off her shoes and sat down on the futon.
" Master, I..." The little nun had completed her task and did not know if she should stay here, so she asked with a questioning gaze.
" Nishang, you sit too." The middle-aged nun smiled and waved at her." Come, sit with Master."”
"Thank you, Master." The little nun named Ni Shang was obviously very close to her master, so when she heard her master's greeting, she immediately sat down next to her master.
"It's midsummer now, so it's not the best time to visit. Patron, do you have any other requests for coming to Xiangyun Nunnery?”The middle-aged nun waited for both parties to sit down before looking at Ms. White and asking unhurriedly.
" Your eyes are as sharp as lightning." Ms. White nodded and said," I've come to Xiangyun Nunnery because I've heard a lot about you, so I want to ask for forgiveness on my father's behalf."”
"May I ask what happened to your father that made you so worried?”The middle-aged nun asked.
Ms. White quickly explained what had happened at home and then said with a worried expression,"My father's whereabouts are unknown. I want to know if he's safe.”
" Amitabha. Good, good." The middle-aged nun put her palms together and said," Although I can't predict your father's situation, as the saying goes, a family that accumulates good deeds will definitely have good fortune. From my observation of the benefactor's face, the root of good must be born in a blessed family. Therefore, even if your father encounters a small disaster, he will definitely be able to turn it into good fortune. Don't worry."”
" Abbess, I don't quite understand what you're saying." Ms. White tilted her head and thought for a moment." You just said that my father will turn misfortune into good fortune. How is he now?" Is he safe?"
" Amitabha. Little benefactor, I'm afraid I can't answer your question accurately." The middle-aged nun put her hands together and said," In fact, the so-called divination is just a calculation of the number of images. The results it obtains are only abstract words such as good or bad luck. As for the specific changes that will occur in the process of reaching this result, the fortune-teller can't know them all.”
" Otherwise, it's not divination but foresight." The middle-aged nun smiled indifferently." Besides, there are also variables in the changes of various events in the world. The fixed number is the innate cause and effect, which is fixed and unchanging. The variables are the encounters in reality, which will constantly impact the innate life of people. Therefore, the ancients said that the wealth of the secular world is 70% determined by the heavens and 30% planned by people. This is what it means.”
" Abbess, what you said is too abstract," Ms. White said awkwardly." I seem to understand a little, but I don't seem to understand anything. Can you explain it to me in more detail?"”
" Well, let me put it this way," the middle-aged nun said with a smile." Take your father as an example. It was destined that he would encounter this disaster. Because anyone who rolls around in the business world, regardless of whether he is pure or not, will inevitably be schemed against by others. Therefore, it is very normal for him to be schemed against by others.”
" But now he is trying to find a way to solve the problem, and you are also working hard. This is a variable," the middle-aged nun looked at her and smiled." In this process, you met someone who can change your fate. Fortunately, you caught him, so your entire fortune, including your father's situation, will undergo very complicated changes.”
"You mean him? Lin Chenfeng?" Ms. White asked in surprise.
"Is his name Lin Chenfeng?" The middle-aged nun nodded and said," Very good, very good. Although this name is a little rich and noble, it doesn't detract from the true nature of Xuanmen. It seems that Left Emissary Zhang is a wise man, much better than me. Amitabha. Good, good!”
"Nun, what are you talking about? What Left Emissary Zhang?" Ms. White was confused by her, so she asked in a daze.
" Oh, it's nothing." The middle-aged nun shook her head and laughed." I just remembered an old friend from back then."”
"Old friend?" Ms. White was stunned for a moment." Are you saying that Chenfeng is related to an old friend of yours?”
" Yes." The middle-aged nun nodded and said," Chenfeng's master is one of my best friends. I didn't expect him to quietly train such a good disciple after we parted ways in Kongtong twenty years ago. I'm really envious."”
"So, you've met Chen Feng before?”Ms. White quickly asked.
" No." The middle-aged nun shook her head and said," I've been in seclusion in the nunnery all these years. It can be said that I've never left the nunnery, so I didn't have the chance to see you."”
