Chapter 224: Accepting Disciples
A few hours later, Dochin came out of the room, looking the same as usual. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Xingzang walked in with doubts, he saw that the three of them had their eyes closed, and their faces were full of joy, as if they had obtained what they had always wanted but couldn't, so they were happy from the bottom of their hearts.
In the middle of the sound, Wei Buxian opened his eyes, looked at Xingzang and said, "Senior brother can let us go, I used to offend the three of us." In the future, we are willing to be Dharma protectors, practice diligently, and uphold the Dharma. ”
Xingzang looked into his eyes, and just from his eyes and expressions, he could tell that the three of them were different from the original. It seems that the sudden realization after the original belief was forcibly shattered, but it is somewhat similar to what he did at the beginning, but the encounter is different.
Expressions can deceive, but eyes don't.
With a movement of his hand, the long sword in the corner of the wall brought up a flash of light and cut the ropes on the three of them.
After an hour, the three of them, led by Xingzang, went to see Su Wen. The three of them were unexpectedly clear in their minds at this time, and they could see everything they had done clearly from childhood to adulthood, but their beliefs were completely different.
It was really what Dao Qin had made them see and hear in that void that completely changed their thoughts all along. The light and compassion of the Dharma in the void completely immersed the three of them in it, and they even felt that the world was completely different if they only took one step forward. The Confucian education they had been receiving was shattered, and the seeds of Buddhism were planted in their hearts.
When the three of them came in, Dao Yan and Dao Qin were in the room. Hui Jue stood on Su Wen's side, quietly looking at the three of them.
The three of them were a little embarrassed, but they recovered a little in the past hour, and their faces were cleaned. Especially Miaozang, after washing off the smoky makeup, she looks like a beautiful and lovely girl. Looking at her now, and thinking about the ghostly makeup on her original face, it is really difficult to connect the two people together.
Wei Buxian, Miaozang, and Gu Zikai first bowed respectfully to Dao Qin, and then said to Su Wen: "Abbot, a few of us were offended before, but now we have been enlightened by the master, and we are willing to take refuge in Buddhism, and practice quietly in the future to uphold the Fa-rectification." ”
Su Wen nodded and said, "Good." A few of you can be regarded as having an opportunity, and Senior Brother Daoyan personally ignited it. I don't ask who you are behind the scenes, and your past has nothing to do with your future. In the future, he became a Dharma protector and practiced diligently, and there was a day when he attained fruition. ”
"Thank you, Abbot, for forgiving me." The three of them bowed their heads and said.
"You go down to rest first, and then go back to the temple with Senior Brother Daoqin in two days, and then go and stay at will. As long as you keep the Dharma in your heart, you can practice anywhere. After Su asked, he asked a few people to retreat.
These people have been turned into Dharma protectors, at least they will no longer follow the orders of the people behind the scenes to trouble themselves and others. And the people behind the scenes lost these arms, and they must not easily send people out after knowing the situation of the three people. Otherwise, let's do it one by one and see how many people he can use.
A master like this is not a cabbage, and I don't know how much effort it takes to cultivate these two. As for Gu Zikai, although he is not good at martial arts, he has marksmanship as a means, and he is good at lurking and tracking, and he is also a talent.
A few days later, Dao Qin left with the three of them, but Dao Yan and Hui Jue stayed behind and accompanied Su Wen on the way.
Su Wen has some experience from watching Master Jinglian's "Sutra of Amitayus" these days, and I happened to ask Daoqin for advice.
After two days of recuperating in the village, a villager brought a couple and a child to Su Wen.
There was nothing to pay attention to about that couple, just an ordinary peasant couple from the mountains, honest and honest, who looked like the rest of the village, but they were from other villages, and they were relatives of the villagers who brought them here.
The child looked to be six or seven years old and laughing, very thin, and covered in skin and bones. And the skin is a little white, and with a disproportionate head on the body, it looks a little funny. In addition, the eyes on the face are more energetic.
"Master, this kid doesn't know what's going on, his body is getting weaker and weaker, master, can you help him?" The villager who brought him in pleaded with Su Wen, and the couple from the other village knelt down directly: "Master, save my child." ”
Su Wen hurriedly said to the two of them: "You stand up and speak first, the poor monk doesn't know medical skills, let Senior Brother Daoyan help him take a look." ”
"Xinghui, invite Senior Brother Daoyan."
"Yes, Abbot." Xinghui nodded and agreed, and went out to find Daoyan.
After Xinghui left, Su Wen pulled the couple up from the ground, looked at the child carefully, and always felt that something was wrong. Turning his gaze to the child's face, he immediately understood that something was wrong. If you are sick, your eyes will be somewhat dull, especially if the child is still skinny and weak, and his eyes should be dull.
But this child's eyes are very bright, much brighter than ordinary people, giving people the feeling that this child must be very smart.
"Child, is there anything wrong with you?" Su Wen asked with a smile.
"No, I just don't have the strength." The big-headed child said in a child's voice.
"Master, this kid always seems to see something unclean. Like the days after his grandfather died, he always said that he saw his grandfather. The child's father said suddenly.
"Oh?" Su Wen was slightly surprised.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Xinghui and Daoyan to enter the room.
"Senior Brother Daoyan, please see what the situation of this child is." Su Wen said to Dao Yan.
Dao Yan looked at the child carefully, then pulled his arm and put his fingers on his wrist, rolled the young man's eyelids again, and said to Su Wen: "Congratulations to the abbot for getting a good apprentice." ”
"Huh?" Su Wen was surprised, Dao Yan's words were clueless, which made him a little confused.
Dao Yan immediately smiled and said: "I have long calculated that the abbot has a master-apprentice relationship recently, and it should be in this child." ”
This sentence made Su Wen even more puzzled. Not only Su Wen, but the other people in the room also didn't know why. Especially the child's parents, who immediately pulled the child in front of them, as if they were afraid that Daoyan, the monk, would snatch the child away.
"Senior Brother Dao Yan is just saying anything." Su Wen said softly.
Dao Yan turned to look at the child's parents and said, "Has this child always been able to see something that ordinary people can't see since he was a child?" ”
The child's parents nodded, thinking to themselves that this monk must have just heard something talking inside the house outside, right? ”
Dao Yan said with a smile: "This child is born with a good reputation, and he can see the two worlds of yin and yang. It's just that I don't practice Buddhism, I don't know how to turn off supernatural powers, and I keep losing my vitality. If there is no one to teach me, I am afraid that I will not live for three or five years, and then my body will dry up and die. ”
When the child's parents heard this, they were immediately a little stunned and wanted to refute it, but what the other party said was really reasonable. This child has been able to see unclean things since he was a child, and his health has been poor, and he is getting weaker and weaker, and if he continues like this, he will probably die soon.
Thinking of this, the two of them hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Ask the master to save my child, ask the master to save my child." ”
Dao Yan shook his head and stood aside, and Su Wen had no choice but to say, "You two get up and talk first." ”
He said to Dao Yan again: "Senior brother said that I have a master-apprentice relationship with this child, is it because of this? ”
Dao Yan smiled: "It's not all. Teaching him a Zen method can restore his vitality by contemplating the gods, and he can ensure that he has no worries until he reaches adulthood. It's just that this kid is so talented and beautiful, it would be a pity to stay in this mountain village. Its qualifications and understanding are excellent, and it has a relationship with my Buddhism, and there should be a vast world. ”
Su Wen pondered for a moment and said, "If you want to save his life, I will teach him a Zen method." But it's a pity if this kid dies in a mountain village, I want to accept him as a disciple, I don't know if you are willing? ”
Although the couple was reluctant to have children, they also felt that Su Wen's words were reasonable. What parent doesn't want their child to have a better life? Since the monk said that he had good qualifications and understanding, and wanted to accept him as an apprentice, this is a good thing that he has cultivated in eight lifetimes. can let the child follow the monk, and the two are somewhat embarrassed.
The child's mother said reluctantly: "We also hope that the child will be well in the future, but my family is such a child, and we still expect him to inherit the lineage." ”
Su Wen listened to his words and said with a smile: "You can let him be a lay disciple, you don't need to be a monk, you only keep the five precepts of a layman." After ten years of study, it will not be affected to go down the mountain to marry a wife and have children. He can also come back to visit you during the New Year, and if you have time, you can also visit him in the temple. ”
This lay disciple is still different from Yilong and others, Yilong and others do not abide by the five precepts, do not practice Buddhism, but only learn martial arts in the temple, although they are said to be Suwen disciples, in fact, they can only be regarded as outer disciples. And this child, if Su Wen accepts it, he will be a disciple of the lineage. Although it is also possible to learn martial arts, the Dharma cannot be let go of the slightest bit, and it is completely based on the Dharma, and various precepts must be observed.
The child's father was an honest farmer with a bitter face, and after listening to Su Wen, he slapped his thigh violently: "Just listen to the master." We will be in this ravine for the rest of our lives, and it is rare for the child to have this opportunity, so we can't let him miss it. ”
Su Wen nodded and asked the kid, "What's your name?" ”
"My name is Martin," the child asked, staring at Su with wide eyes. Although he looked skinny, he was actually eight or nine years old, and his personality was a little more precocious than the other children. He understood what the people around him said just now, and knew that the monk in front of him, who looked kind, wanted to accept him as an apprentice.
And when he came, he could hear from his uncle's words that this monk was a very powerful person, and he would be able to learn from him in the future, and he would become a very powerful person.
"You heard everything just now, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?"
Hearing Su ask, Ma Tian immediately said, "I am willing, thank you, master." ”
Seeing the little guy's serious face, Su Wen also laughed. He didn't expect to take in an apprentice when he came out, but he didn't expect it.
