Chapter Twenty-Seven: Li Ji Meets a Horseman on the Road to the Mountain
Li Ji's steps were heavy, and as he walked, he looked at the scenery in front of him, breathing the air outside the mountain, and sighed.
This is another scene: the dead grass and leaves are uncertain, and the lonely wind is cold.
I don't feel that it has been more than five years, and when I went out of the mountain gate before, I was just going to the old well to fetch water, but I never stayed away. At this moment, it is to leave, to leave the monastery where he has lived for five years. And this out of the mountain gate, down the mountain, but it is fate, it seems that you have to go to different places, and you have to experience different lives.
Unlike others, this time I went down the mountain, and I felt that I was shouldering a heavy responsibility, carrying ideals and beliefs, and completing an unknown mission. How can you get by, how can you retreat in the face of difficulties, and in the face of all uncertainties, there is only one person.
The road ahead is long and unknown. The road ahead is dark, and the front is also dark, and I don't know what will happen in the future or what I will experience. Just move forward, just blindly move forward.
Fortunately, the sky is getting brighter, and the sun is rising little by little, illuminating the earth. The rising sun is extraordinarily dazzling, the light is approaching, and it is dazzling, which makes the whole person feel a lot of energy.
Li Jishou set up a pergola and deliberately glanced at the sun. Look at the distant sky and walk the path under your feet.
I also didn't think about it, and naturally thought: There are two worlds inside and outside the temple, the temple is quiet and quiet, solemn and solemn, but the outside world is deceitful and deceitful, and you fight for me. It is inevitable to lie and panic, to deceive, and to avoid twists and turns. When is the time for the past clouds, grievances and hatreds, and grievances, why not be happy and happy?
Five years in this temple have also passed in a flash, changing his temperament, becoming familiar with his mind, and experiencing a strange experience. Now, when I go out of the mountain gate, I think about the outside world, and there have been many changes in this world, but I don't know it.
Now everything is in front of us, at this moment, where to go? Go home! Yes, only to go home.
In the past five years, although I have been in the temple, I have often missed my home. Every time I think about it, it's inconvenient to mention it. A person, no matter where he goes, where he is, and when he arrives, only home can not be forgotten. This is understandable, everyone, a small family, is the foundation of people. Now, when I went down the mountain, the first thing I thought of was to go home and have a look.
At this moment, Li Ji couldn't hold back any longer, and his eyes moistened. He wanted to shout out, vent his emotions, and relax his mood, but he didn't dare. Still quickened his pace and hurried down the mountain.
After a short time, when I reached the bottom of the mountain, I walked a little more and went up the main road.
Li Ji can also distinguish and recognize clearly, it is the road he walked when he came.
He didn't think much of it, so he hurried in the direction from which he came.
I also occasionally saw pedestrians on the road, but I didn't pay attention to it, and just walked back.
After walking a short time, a horseman followed him with a carriage. Li Ji only cared about walking by himself, looking ahead, and didn't care at all.
I could only hear the groom shouting forward, "Monk, where are you going?"
When Li Ji heard about the 'monk', he couldn't help but look left and right, but there was no one, so he turned his head to look at it again, only to see a horseman driving the car, looking at him.
The groom has a round head and a round brain, five big and three thick, but he looks honest and honest.
A white horse, although not large, has a high-spirited posture and is majestic, moving forward steadily.
Li Ji asked as he walked, "But you asked me?"
The groom smiled: "Look around, where are there other people, and where are there monks?"
Li Ji also smiled: "Yes." No wonder, the donor smiled. ”
Ma Fu said: "I am a reckless man, talk about the donor, call me Xu Da Youke." ”
Li Jiye said: "My monk is also a foot monk, and the Dharma is 'dreamy'. ”
Ma Fuxu changed his words and said, "Master Mengkong, where are you going? If you are on the same road, you might as well come to the carriage and take a ride, or you can stop walking fatigue." ”
Li Jidao: "Thanks to the kindness of the benefactor, I want to go to the direction of Nabeishan City." ”
The groom said, "Coincidentally, I'm going there too." Go there, the road is still far away, but you walk hard, why not come up, take you a ride along the way, or you can say a word on the way, pastime and relieve boredom. ”
Li Ji didn't think much about it, let alone shirk, and said: "But too, then bother the donor Xu and give me a ride." ”
Mavre reined in and stopped the carriage, and Li Jichao walked backwards, went to the corner of the carriage, and sat down cross-legged.
When the groom saw that he was done, he drove the horse and walked again.
Li Jidao: "I was lucky to meet the donor on this road." ”
The groom said, "Ahem, how do you know, I have to walk this way all day long, passing through here." ”
Li Ji was surprised: "Why, what are you busy with?"
Ma Fu said: "It's a long talk, it's been many years. I am a horseman, driving chariots and horses, and making a living by hauling stones. Although it is hard work, running around all day long, it is at ease and at ease. There is no other income, and he is happy to be poor. ”
Li Jidao: "Very good, very good. People are noble and ambitious, regardless of high and low, noble and low, no matter what they do, they are neither humble nor arrogant, and they seek peace of mind for themselves, which is already great wisdom. ”
The horseman said: "What the master said is, I don't know why the master came here and why he is going?"
Li Ji looked at the road ahead and said meaningfully: "I won't tell you, I just came down the mountain from the Lingyuan Temple today, went to Beishan City, and went home to have a look." ”
Ma Fu Xu looked at Li Ji and asked, "But the Lingyuan Temple on the mountain near here?"
Li Jidao: "Exactly. ”
Ma Fu said: "This temple is famous far and wide, I heard that asking for signs and praying for blessings is very effective, incense is continuous, and there are many believers. Is that the case?"
Li Ji said seriously: "It's not fake, when there is a chance, the donor can go to see the truth, and he can distinguish the truth from the false." ”
The groom said, "But too." What is the reason for praying for blessings?"
Li Ji did not pause and said: "The so-called blessing and signing are important in sincerity. Those who are sincere are good. The heart is good, the heart is sincere, the heart is gentle, and the heart is pure. ”
After hearing this, the groom sighed with emotion: "Listening to Master Meng's words, my heart is like a mirror, especially to solve the confusion. It's not a loss, it's a cultivation and a master. ”
Li Jidao: "Lord Xu praised, I'm afraid I can't afford it." How can a monk be praised by this, but he is just an ordinary monk. ”
When Ma Fu Xu heard this, he said, "The words there are so clear, but they are not yet cultivated. Dare to ask the master how many years he has been in the temple, there is such a realm. ”
Li Ji did not evade, and said directly: "It's been five years. ”
Ma Fu said: "Five years? But it's not a long time." ”
Li Jidao: "If you want to turn the years, five years will pass quickly, and if you want to spend the days in it, it is the day of cultivation, and the whole day will be in good order." ”
The groom said: "This is true. Although I don't have much knowledge, I know that time is the same, and it depends on how I spend it. At the same time, some people spend their days in a state of confusion and depression, while others follow one after another, racing against time for fear of being wasted. At the end of the day, the harvest is different.
