972 All Combs
Tangning was unaware of what happened here, because after she released the woman's lottery, she forgot about it.
These days, she sweeps the floor in the monastery in the morning, messes with medicine at noon, and takes time out to practice at night. She eats and sleeps on time every day, and her life is quite leisurely.
There are still no pilgrims in the temple, but there are many quiet fallen leaves every day. After about ten days like this, in the early morning of this day, Qi Mufeng found Tangning who was sweeping fallen leaves in the front hall.
"Master, the things are here, would you like to take a look now?" Qi Mufeng walked over with a smile on his face, and took the broom for him.
"Show me." She stretched out her hand and spread her palm upwards, and saw Qi Mufeng take out a crescent comb made of green sandalwood and put it in her palm.
She took it and looked at it. The crescent comb is small and can be carried with you. It is small and unique in shape. Because it is made of green sandalwood, the surface of the comb is smooth and round, and it feels very good. The faint scent of green sandalwood is very pleasant.
She brushed her hair with a comb, only to realize that she was bald and hairless, she couldn't help being startled for a moment, and hearing Qi Mufeng in front of her couldn't help laughing.
"Master, do you want to try combing your hair? Try my hair! I have hair." He said with a smile, and his narrow eyes were full of smiles.
Tangning glanced at him and said, "Where am I combing my hair? I'm just trying to see how it feels when combing my scalp." As she spoke, she flipped the comb in her hand and said, "The workmanship is pretty good, it's quite handy. .”
"The ones I found were made by old craftsmen, and all of them have been inspected. There is no problem with each one. One side of the comb is engraved with the words Wanfo Temple, but master, please tell me that the other side is left blank, and there are no patterns or other carvings. What are you going to do with this blank space? Could it be asking the monks in the temple to engrave scriptures on it?" Qi Mufeng asked with a joking smile.
"Carved runes are not scriptures." Tangning said, tossing the comb to him, then looked towards the main hall and said with a smile, "The hosts of the meeting should all be chanting scriptures in the hall, right? Go and have a look."
Seeing this, Qi Mufeng followed behind him. When he came to the main hall, the host and others saw the two coming in, and said softly: "Amitabha, Xiao Tang, what's the matter?"
After Tangning returned the salute, she said with a smile, "I have something to tell you guys." She walked up to sit down on the futon and motioned for Qi Mufeng to take out the things.
Seeing that Qi Mufeng stepped forward, took out the finished combs from the space and piled them in front of them, and then quietly stepped aside to look at them.
The host and others sitting around saw the combs piled up in front of them, looked at each other in blank dismay, a little puzzled.
comb?
Why bring them so many combs? They are monks, they have no use for things like combs! All of a sudden, everyone's eyes fell on Tangning, wondering what he meant by that?
"Xiao Tang, what do you mean?" the host finally couldn't help asking.
Liaokong looked at the combs in front of him and smelled the scent of sandalwood. He couldn't help being startled, and asked, "Are these made of green sandalwood from the back mountain?"
After hearing this, Tangning nodded with a smile, and cast an appreciative glance at Monk Kong, "That's right, it's the green sandalwood spirit wood."
