As soon as Master Huiyuan's words fell, a congratulatory voice sounded around him.

Xue Yan: "......"

The little man in his heart was lying in the shape of a gun (a), and a spotlight lit up on his head, the light was dazzling, but it contrasted with the darkness of his heart.

...... Oh, this faint, incomprehensible sadness, what is it?

However, no matter how much Xue Yan wanted to complain, even if he vomited, no one present could get his slot.

――It's not good to wear the ancient now. Xue Yan sighed.

Then, the ceremony also ended. This group of dignitaries and nobles who have heads and faces in Jinling and even the surrounding areas took advantage of the rare gathering and began to seize the time to socialize.

Xue Yan hurriedly cleaned up his mood, followed Huiyuan to the back, and listened to the latter talk about the "rules".

These rules, in fact, have been said before the apprenticeship, which is nothing more than a vegetarian diet on weekdays, practicing Buddhism and so on.

Because Xue Yan is young, and he is a lay disciple, and he is still the "reincarnated spirit child"—needless to say, Hui Yuan, who is a master, knows the "□□" of this apprenticeship—so the rules set for him are not only not strict, but even extremely relaxed:

Not only did he not force him to be a vegetarian, but he was not required to live in the temple, and the others bluntly said "moderation is enough".

For these rules set up and did not set up, Xue Yan is grateful. But if people can give him preferential treatment, he can't really take it for granted.

-- Not only does this seem too maverick, but in the long run, it is also bad for his reputation.

Therefore, Xue Yan said that since he has entered Buddhism, he will work hard to do what he should do. Although it is not possible to follow the daily routine of a regular monk, it is still possible to recite in the morning and evening, to be a vegetarian at least one month a month, including the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, to go up the mountain to practice, to participate in Buddhist meetings, etc., depending on the actual situation.

For Xue Yan's "knowledge and interest", Master Huiyuan expressed satisfaction. The latter also said that he would stay in Jinling for a month or two, and then return to Yangzhou, and if he could, he would come to Qixia Temple more recently.

When Xue Yan heard this, how could he not understand the connotation? He immediately said that he had just apprenticed to the master, and he should study hard with the master in the next five days.

Hui Yuan is the answer. That night, Xue Yan stayed.

Because this is a practice, it is not easy for the Xue family to leave a large number of servants, but it is still the same sentence, Xue Yan is too young, and the Xue family is not at ease.

After the consultation, an elderly servant and a servant were left behind to take care of Xue Yan's daily life.

So Xue Yan began, and after crossing over, he lived "outside the house" for the first time.

If you want to live in a Buddhist temple, what is not used to it?

Xue Yan won't pretentiously say that he is very suitable for anything. In his life, he has lived a life of fine clothes and food since he was born, and the servants and maids around him have come to the temple in groups to live such a "simple" life, which is a little uncomfortable.

But his soul is not a real three-year-old young master, in his previous life, he could fly everywhere by himself, not to mention that there are two people to take care of him now.

-- These discomforts are simply "from luxury to frugality."

Besides, after coming to Qixia Temple, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity in Xue Yan's heart...... Or rather, a sense of belonging.

It was as if he had spent a long time quietly alone in a Buddhist temple.

No, it doesn't have to be a Buddhist temple...... That's where it feels like that, anyway.

...... There is the smell of incense.

...... There is a continuous sound of chanting.

...... There is also the kind of ethereal, ethereal, ethereal like the sun shining in, but being blocked by something.

Why is that?

Why does he feel this way?

-- On this day, Xue Yan was like this, "thinking about life" while having morning classes. When he came back to his senses, he found that the monks around him, including Zhichang and Huiyuan, were all watching him.

Xue Yan: "......"

Wait, it's not right for him to get distracted by chanting, but as for this...... Collective eye condemnation, right?

What did he think, and he stole a glance at the Ming Fei relics that were being offered to the top - still good, neither bad nor good compared to before he put them up?

What's going on?

- Huiyuan, who is still a master, is reliable, and he answered Xue Yan's doubts a little later: It turned out that the morning class had just begun, and everyone was reading it, and they were led by Xue Yan and entered a mysterious realm.

Anyway, it is difficult to explain exactly how it is, but in short, everyone present finally gained a "deeper understanding of the Dharma".

Xue Yan again: "......"

Is it really okay to be so mysterious? He's just a god!

But this is only one of the episodes of Xue Yan's first monastic life.

Anyway, unconsciously, Xue Yan has lived until the fifth day. After tomorrow morning's morning class, the Xue family will send someone to bring him back to the "mortal world".

However, until the end of the evening class on the fifth day, the people behind Huiyuan still did not move.

Xue Yan didn't feel guilty about this: It's all come to this point, what kind of game of "whoever can't hold his breath will lose first" to play, will it be too late?

But in the past few days, Xue Yan has not been in vain, at least he has seen that his master Huiyuan is a great wisdom who truly cares about the world and compassion for the common people.

Then the question arises: why would such a character be mixed with the people who held the throne in the Jiji camp?

Xue Yan couldn't figure it out - it seems that only after really coming into contact with those people can he know the "truth".

After dinner, Xue Yan planned to take a walk, and went to wash and sleep without having anything to do. It was at this time that a little novice said that Huiyuan was looking for him.

It's coming. Thinking about it, Xue Yan put down the big stone in his heart and thanked the little novice, but he didn't immediately go to Huiyuan, but asked his little servant Minghai, "Second Brother Lian has returned to the temple?"

The little girl Narumi recalled for a moment and replied, "It seems that I went back before dark...... The young one still saw Xing'er, and heard that Young Master Lian had gone to Master Jia. Young Master Xiang, but I have something to ask for Young Master Lian?

When Xue Yan heard this, he shook his head and said, "No need, it's too late now, Ming'er will find Second Brother Lian again." ”

- In other words, the Jia Yu he saw at the apprenticeship ceremony made Xue Yan deeply impressed. At that time, he subconsciously felt that such a person did not seem to be the person behind Huiyuan, and then noticed that something was strange.

It's just that time was tight at the time, and I couldn't delve into it. Fortunately, the father and son of the Jia family were both on the mountain, and Xue Yan observed a few times without any traces, but found nothing;

Jia Lian left the temple early in the morning, and Xue Yan secretly said that the opportunity had come - he guessed that Jia Yu was the person behind it, and he didn't show up now because he was worried about Jia Lian.

- But it seems to be ...... If he really guessed wrong? Xue Yan sighed lightly in his heart, and turned around to put down the matter and go to Huiyuan.

What Xue Yan never expected was that his face would be beaten back so quickly!

- Yes, Xue Yan looked at the person in front of him dumbfounded, who had just been crossed by him and should have been served by his son, but appeared here in Huiyuan.

Isn't it Jia, pardon, and forgiveness!
