Chapter 1001 - No. 054 - High Monk Dreams (10)

Da, da, da......

Squeak –

"Uncle, I've brought something."

"Oh, ahem, ahem...... You give it to them, show them...... cough cough cough ......"

Squeak –

Click.

"That's this thing, these are the previous title deeds of our family, the house deeds, this is the family tree. There are no famous people, so this thing is not worth much. ”

"Ahem, you guys...... Look at this...... This one...... cough cough cough ......"

"Uncle, are you alright?"

"It's fine."

"Half of your family's generation has changed their names?"

"yes. It's this generation. You connect the names, and the words look together. ”

"West Tree, East Direction, Three Hundred ...... Is this a route? ”

"Yes, the big tree in the westernmost direction, go three hundred steps to the east...... Ahem......"

"This point is the cave where the stone Buddha is hidden?"

"yes. There it is...... Our ancestors kept a secret. That generation, the generation that changed its name, was the older generation at that time. This is to remember the gratitude. If one day, one day, it is too peaceful and safe, then this matter will be announced, and all the masters will be invited out and offered...... They are the benefactors of the Green Tea House...... They are all benefactors of the green tea house......"

"Mr. An, what do you mean by this?"

"Alas...... That's what happened back then...... At that time, the green tea house was not a green tea house, and there was a large temple built here, and the incense was vigorous. The presiding officer in the temple was valued by a big official at that time...... I don't know what's going on, it's been too long...... I heard my grandfather tell me that there was a tea tree in the temple, an old tea tree, which was very precious. The monks in the temple took care of it, and the tea farmers sent by the big official took care of it, and the tea trees moved over and grew well. It should have been two or three generations, and the tea trees in the temple have grown well, and there are some more tea seedlings. At that time, the revenue from farming was not much, and as you can see, the environment on our side was not suitable for growing crops. Our family was a big landlord at that time...... cough cough cough ...... Although our family was a big landlord at that time, it was not enough to spend. Not to mention the peasants below. The abbot of the temple discussed with the ancestors of our family not to farm, but to plant tea trees instead. Those masters taught us how to grow tea, gave us tea seedlings, and helped us connect with buyers from outside. Green Tea House...... That's how it got up from the beginning......"

"Mr. Ann?"

"Oh, oh...... When people get old, they tend to wander away...... Here, tea has been growing since then. didn't get rich all of a sudden, at least there was one more way. It was at this time that the emperor at that time ordered the monk to be killed. We ordinary people don't know what happened, those officials broke into the temple and arrested people at once. Our family also helped to run through at the time, but we couldn't help it. There is no way to do it...... It was too chaotic back then. Some monks escaped, and some monks were not arrested. We want to let them go. However, bad luck. There was a general who happened to be here, and when he heard about it, he surrounded our side. They surrounded our county town and wanted to search for all the monks. My grandfather said that those officers and soldiers, one by one, had blood on their bodies, and they were very arrogant. That's not a soldier of our country, that's a military ruffian. When they search people, they rob the house of all the valuables. When you see a beautiful woman, you will also be caught...... You see, this one is crossed out...... This is a daughter-in-law of our family, who is quilted, cough cough cough...... was taken, was taken away, and when I found it, I didn't look the same anymore...... At that time, the rule was that people were removed from the family and could not enter the ancestral grave of the family...... Ahem......"

"Mr. An, take a sip of tea and take a break."

"It's okay, it's okay...... Call...... That's it...... It's miserable...... No one thought that everyone thought that those monks should have run away. As a result, as a result, they stood up on their own...... Our family has secretly spread this matter until now...... Oh, Hachi, they didn't hear it. Xiaoba's generation doesn't know, our generation, our older generation, our older generation, all listened to this story since childhood. The masters themselves came out and told the general not to harm the people, and they were taken away voluntarily. They weren't taken away, just the day after they came out, the general ...... Ahem...... The man forced the whole town to look at them, and they cut off the heads of the monks one by one...... Blood all over the ground...... The place where the head was cut off is the location of the tea hill in the tea garden now. The bodies of the monks were thrown there, and no one was allowed to move them. Several, little by little, little by little rotten......"

"Buddha statues, did your ancestors start carving them at that time?"

"It wasn't carved by my family's ancestors. That mountain was originally the place where the temple was located. It was set on fire and burned. Originally, it was planned to erect a monument and a statue there. But those officers and soldiers have not yet withdrawn, and no one dares to do so. The people of the town came up with a way together, so they pretended to open a mountain to mine, and chose the hill. Every day, someone came down with a stone. Those officers and soldiers just looked at it and didn't take it seriously. My grandfather said that there was a good stonemason in the town, and there were other craftsmen who carved the stone Buddha by hand. There were a total of sixty-seven monks of all sizes in the temple, all of whom did not escape. And they prepared to make sixty-seven images. The people in the town are thinking about what each monk looks like, drawing them one by one, and then carving them. Ahem...... No, not all, are united in their thoughts...... Some people hate them for causing trouble, while others are afraid of things and don't want to get into trouble again. In the end, sixty-seven were not carved in the end...... There were only more than thirty, and more than twenty were carved, and the stonemason died, and his son was unwilling to continue, and it was inconvenient to find someone from outside. That's it...... Ahem......"

"After that, there was no temple in the green tea house, and the people of the whole town grew tea for a living, and this history was forgotten, right?"

"Huh...... No, I didn't forget ...... In fact, no one can forget it. My grandfather said, "That day, everyone heard it...... On the day the old stonemason died, no one continued to carve Buddha statues, and the day the town decided that the matter would end...... Everyone heard it, and they all heard a Buddha voice...... 'Amitabha'...... That night, everyone dreamed of those masters. They thanked the people in the town for not having to go on and living well. They will pray for the people of the town all the time...... I've always thought of it as a story, and when I listened to my grandfather, it always thought it was a story...... When I was a child, I thought those monks were really good people, but then I thought it was all a story, and when I stole the Buddha's head...... cough cough cough cough ...... Ahem, ahem! ”

"Uncle, slow down, don't worry. I'll pour you water. Hiss-"

"You've found the head of the Buddha...... Can you, can you give me a chance to atone for my sins? I want to send it back, send the Buddha head back......"
