At the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, the winding path is secluded, the jungle is dense, and the Buddha sound is lingering.

The wheels of the carriage "purr" against the grass, and when the curtains were lifted, the plants next to it grew luxuriantly, and small white flowers bloomed on the ground.

"Huh", the groom tightened the reins and shouted towards the car: "Young Master Shen, we are here, come down quickly." ”

There were already a few people waiting at the door, Shen He lifted the curtain and looked out, there were a few little monks standing in front of the Buddha gate opposite, and Shen Si who drove away in advance.

"Master Shen, the little monk is empty, you get off first, your matter Shen Si Shishi has already told our abbot, your guest room is ready, now please follow me to the front hall, the abbot has been waiting for you for a long time. A little monk clasped his hands together and bowed his head slightly towards Shen He and said.

When Shen He heard this, he immediately jumped down from the carriage, nodded slightly towards Shen Si, and followed the Void Little Master to the front hall, and several other little monks took his luggage from the carriage and sent it to his residence. Shen Si saw that everything was going according to Master Shen's instructions, and he didn't care about it anymore, looked up at the temple in front of him, and then got on the horse and left without looking back, and went back to resume his life.

Although the temple is small, it has all kinds of internal organs. A statue of the Buddha and the Dharma, so that the little Shen He has a sense of awe, there is a group of birds chirping under the eaves, the monks are silently doing their own things, and do not disturb the birds, a group of peaceful.

After seeing the abbot, Shen He put down his heart, and saw that this person was kind and kind-eyed, and spoke kindly, like a close elder. He didn't ask too much about Shen He's family, but just told him some precautions, as the only Buddhist disciple who led the practice, he followed some rules and dogmas, and also had some small rights, such as he could go to the library to read books, and he couldn't help other books, etc., which gave him great tolerance.

Leaving from the abbot, Shen He was still in a trance, oh, now he has been given a Dharma name called Xuanzhen, which means the pursuit of the self, the essence of the truth.

Coming to the guest room, Shen He was in a trance, everything here was very kind, and the imaginary scene of being oppressed did not exist. It's not like what my stepmother would do, maybe they really want to be able to take refuge in my Buddha. Actually, it's not bad, don't cheat me.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside the house, and a little monk took out the lunch box, took out the food inside, put it on the table, and said: "Senior Brother Xuanzhen, I will deliver your meals in the future, just put the lunch box at the door after eating." After speaking, he said "Amitabha" and left.

Shen He looked at the steamed buns, mushroom greens, and wild vegetables on the table, and immediately walked over, picked up the chopsticks and ate them in a big gulp, it was really fragrant. Seeing that the abbot has already informed the people of the temple of his Dharma name, it seems that tomorrow he will have to get up early to do morning classes.

That night, although Shen He left home, he slept peacefully in his dreams and had a good night's sleep.

The following days were spent on morning lessons with a group of monks of the same age, running, carrying water, chopping wood, planting vegetables, and cooking. Occasionally, when he has free time, Shen He will also go to the library to read books, and the books in the library pavilion, in addition to the Buddhist classics, also have some four books and five classics, which are strange and strange, and there are many kinds, which are not like ordinary temples.

Under the eaves of the library pavilion, there are not many bird nests, only one, and there are not many birds in the nest, and there is only one. So every time he goes to the library, Shen He looks at the birds in the nest looking at him with dripping eyes, and there is always a feeling of sympathy, and then when he goes to the library, he will always kick some peanuts and beans in his arms for the birds in the nest to eat, and one person and one bird are getting acquainted with each other day by day.

Originally, the days were so plain and peaceful.

Pity......

On that day, Shen He finished the day's lessons as usual and came to his room. A short time later, there was a knock on the door. Shen He walked over suspiciously and planned to open the door, except for the time when he first came, he would be delivered by his senior brother every night, and after getting acquainted with each other, he followed all the senior brothers to dine in. Why, someone will be looking for him tonight?

Shen He thought, unsuspectingly opened the door, the door was a person he didn't know, before he could speak, the man took a dagger and slammed it into Shen He's chest, everything came so unexpectedly. Shen He's eyes widened as he looked at the man, then at his chest, and fell to the ground suddenly, blood spreading from his wounds.

The man didn't check if the person who fell to the ground was really dead, and ran away in a panic. Shen He saw that the man had run away, stumbled up from the ground, gasped for breath, and walked towards the residence of the senior brothers, step by step, very difficult.

It's too far to get to the guest room to the room they are in, and today is the day of rest, so the brothers and sisters may not be in the temple. Or go out to practice, or in the library pavilion, or meditate, or in the martial arts training field? Shen He forced his mind to keep thinking and moving. Prevent yourself from bleeding too much and becoming unconscious, causing shock. After considering many places, Shen He chose the library closest to him.

When he arrived at the Library Pavilion, Shen He's whole person relaxed, and he fainted all of a sudden, only to hear a vague woman's voice ringing in his ears: "Little Monk Xuanzhen, what's wrong with you?"

When he woke up again, it was already the next morning, and Shen He looked at the senior brothers standing around him, and the old abbot sitting by the bed. Although the wound was painful, I was not afraid at all.

"Abbot, you see. Shen He said weakly, struggling to get up from the bed, and was pressed down by the abbot.

"Don't move yet, and you, since Xuan Zhen has woken up, you can go about your own business. The abbot spoke, and though all the people had all kinds of words, they had to bow and take their leave.

After a while, only the old abbot and Shen He were left in the room, and the abbot was silent for a while, and sighed: "Fortunately, there are still two knives from your heart, and it is also a loss that your heart is a little crooked, otherwise at this moment, you really have to meet the Western Heaven Buddha one step ahead of me." After a pause, Fu looked at him again: "Do you know who did it?"

"Yes. Beneath the calm voice, there was hatred.

Seeing this, the abbot sighed helplessly: "I see that you are kind-hearted and intelligent, guiding you to my Buddha, but after all, you are still connected with the seven points of the world, this world will not let you go, how can you take refuge in my Buddha? I won't tell your parents about your whereabouts, although you don't say anything about your family, but sometimes some kind words, the Buddha will forgive you if you want to. ”

"Abbot~" Shen He suddenly had some tears in his eyes, the people in this temple, he was also reluctant, but he stayed here, just to make trouble for the brothers, today is to send someone to assassinate, so what if tomorrow is poisoned in the well water? Thinking of this, Shen He felt that it was best for him to leave, not to affect others, and the future would be long, one day, he would make some achievements to repay them.
