Li Ji didn't pretend to think about it, and replied bluntly: "Master is looking for a disciple, must it be for the purpose of writing during the day?"

The old monk said, "Why do you do this?"

Li Ji wondered, "The disciple doesn't know what the master means by 'doing this'?

The old monk said: "How many times do you want to write? Other people don't write like you, and you write twice in two days and become like this?"

Li Ji did not quibble, but only went to write when he saw the monks writing yesterday, and today he wrote with them at the invitation of the monks.

After hearing this, the old monk also closed his eyes and meditated, nodded again and again, and said: "It is true that you are not wrong to write, but who has ever thought about messing up; ”

Li Ji was embarrassed and said: "The disciple was reckless for a while, he never thought that he would cause such a situation, he really shouldn't be, and he will never dare to play with children in the future." ”

The old monk said: "Where are you wrong, what kind of child's play are you talking about." ”

Li Ji said anxiously: "I will never dare to be rash in the future, it is all up to my master." ”

The old monk said again: "You have done nothing wrong, and others have not done anything wrong. ”

When Li Ji heard what he said, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and he didn't understand it, so he asked, "Dare to ask Master, who is talking to Master?"

The old monk said calmly: "It doesn't matter who said it, don't hold grudges again." If others don't say it, I can know it. Besides, the paper can't contain the fire, how can there be an impermeable wall. That's the case, it's not about who is right or wrong, it's just time to think about the next way out. ”

Li Jiyi heard the master say 'way out', understood in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The disciple knows that he is wrong, if he breaks the rules or causes trouble, he is willing to admit his work and accept punishment, and it is all up to the master to deal with it." ”

The old monk said, "It's serious, where do you start? ”

When Li Ji heard what his master said, he thought that he was fine, and said happily: "Thank you Master for your kindness, and listen to Master's advice." ”

The old monk got up and stayed down, and did not speak.

Seeing this, Li Ji was afraid that there would be another incident, so he hurriedly said: "If it's okay, can the disciple go back first? I'm afraid that after a long time, it will disturb the master's rest." ”

The old monk came over to him and said, "Don't go back for the time being, go to the backyard to find the presiding elder." ”

Li Ji was surprised: "What is the matter with the ancestor looking for me?

The old monk said: "Don't be suspicious, just know when you go." Li Ji didn't want to ask too much, so he quit his master, closed the door, and went straight to the backyard.

Follow the corridor and take a shortcut to the presiding elder's quarters. The elder's residence is an old meditation room, which is hundreds of years old, and it is still standing majestically and quietly.

The lamp was lit in the meditation room, and the elders did not rest, but were still chanting.

Li Ji went to the door of the room, observed it for a while, and then gently pushed the door open, carefully stepped over the threshold, walked in quietly, and stood in the middle.

The elder knelt on the Buddha mat in front of the Buddha hall on one side, closed his eyes and meditated, twisted the Buddha beads in his hand, and recited the true scriptures in his mouth.

The elder has never shown his face on weekdays, but Li Jixiang has only seen the elder a few times over the years, and when he saw this scene here tonight, he didn't dare to bother to speak.

When the elder heard someone coming in, he finished chanting in his mouth, and then got up and chanted again in front of the Buddha, "Amitabha." "Turn around and look.

Li Ji fixed his eyes and saw that the elder was extraordinary: long ears and wide nose, long eyebrows and kind eyes, although his face was full of wrinkles, he was also bright and calm.

Seeing this, Li Ji panicked: "I don't know what happened to the master to find a disciple? It's so late, it's really a matter of disturbing the rest." ”

The elder said earnestly, "Mengkong, how many years have you been in the temple?"

Li Ji said seriously: "If you go back to your ancestor, it has been more than five years. ”

The elder sighed, "It's been five years! Time flies so fast, before you know it, it's been five years in a flash." The outside world must have changed a lot, what have you learned in the past five years?"

Li Jidao: "It's not a secret, the disciple got the Buddha's revelation from the dream of the Buddha, and the believers have a wide range of Buddha affinity, and come here to see the golden body of the Buddha; Since entering the temple, the disciples have been teaching the Shamen, receiving the teachings of the master, cleaning the courtyard before and after, hitting the bell with water, exercising patience and perseverance, strengthening the body, and already being light and healthy, so unhappy; Therefore, I will never dare to forget my master's magnanimity, and I will never forget the kindness of my teachings. ”

The master sighed with emotion: "Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate. The Buddha is magnanimous and does not discriminate equally. You have a relationship with my Buddha, and they are all creations. ”

Li Ji also said: "Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate, and the disciples should remember." ”

Shi Zu said again: "In this case, what are your plans?"

Li continued to hear the word 'intended', and his heart chuckled, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong. I don't have a clue, I'm unprepared, and when I am asked like this, I don't know where to start or how to answer. Thinking about whether it was because of writing, except for writing, I couldn't think of anything else, but I didn't feel panicked, sweat left on my forehead, and I said in a panic: "The disciple doesn't know the meaning of the master's 'plan', and I hope that the master will make it clear." ”

The ancestor said calmly: "It is a blessing for the Buddha to come to my temple and take refuge in Buddhism and have a relationship with my Buddha." ”

Li Jidao: "The disciple doesn't dare. ”

The ancestor said: "You also said just now, you have been in the temple for more than five years, strengthened your body and forged your physique, and received the wisdom of Buddhism, opened your eyes, and it is your creation." ”

Li Ji said seriously: "It's all up to the teachings and guidance of the masters. Not to be grateful, and to thank you from the bottom of my heart. ”

The master said, "There, you and I are both monks, and the cultivation is all personal. To say thanksgiving, you have to remember that the Buddha was magnanimous and had immeasurable merits in his practice. ”

Li Jidao: "Disciple remember. ”

The ancestor said again: "In this case, the wish of the masters, may you carry forward the immeasurable Dharma and make a wide range of Buddha connections, and you can go down the mountain." ”

When Li Jiyi heard that the elder let him go down the mountain, he immediately panicked, his face was not revealed, his mind was racing and thinking, and he thought in his heart: Why did the ancestor suddenly let me go down the mountain, as if it was premeditated. Recently, there is nothing else to do, and the dare to love is for the sake of writing? I wonder which nerve is touched by writing, and what impact has it caused? As the saying goes, 'the tree is a big wind', I am afraid that I have broken the rules and caused trouble, and I only blame myself for not talking much, not being reasonable, doing things recklessly, not being tactful, and messing up the charter. It's helpless, but it's not too late to ask for clarification.
