Chapter Eighty-Four: Shaving
Master Mingtu said that if he didn't appear, he wouldn't appear, and he insisted on it for several months, until Xue Ying was about to leave, and he hadn't changed his attitude. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Xue Ying felt that she was about to die of wrong, and it was not her willingness to lose her front teeth, and children will always have a time to change their baby teeth, this kind of mouth leaky day will come sooner or later, how can anyone dislike people because of this, and even refuse to meet people?
Mingfa was very happy, because Master Mingtu did not give other tasks, Xue Ying had a lot of free time, so she often dragged Xue Ying all over the mountains to find mountain treasures, and also taught her to set traps to catch some small animals - she couldn't eat meat in Ganxiao Temple, but Xue Ying didn't have that restriction, so these delicacies usually went into Xue Ying's stomach.
At the beginning, she was surprised to see Ming Fa clean up the "food" neatly: "You...... Aren't you a monk?"
"I am, but I'm also a chef. Mingfa looked natural, "Uncle Mingtu told me to take care of your diet and let you get out of your teeth quickly." ā
No matter how you manage your diet, these teeth won't grow for a while. Xue Ying pouted: "But it's against the precepts for you to do this." ā
"I'm here for your health. Your body seems to be good, but in fact, there are hidden dangers inside, and you will not be able to stand it if you are vegetarian for a long time. Besides, I didn't kill innocents indiscriminately, except for what I gave you food. Ming Fa took the roasted rabbit to Xue Ying, "Be grateful when you eat it, the Buddha will not blame you." ā
Xue Ying wanted to refuse, but the scent quickly made her surrender.
She asked as she ate, "You said that my body has hidden dangers and I can't be a vegetarian for a long time?"
"yes, didn't you notice that your physical fitness is pretty bad?"
"I ...... I think it's okay. "At the beginning, it was quite bad, but after two years of hard work, it is much better now, at least I can't climb a few steps and get out of breath, and basically except for the time when I almost died of illness the previous winter, the rest of the time is fine. Of course, it can't be compared with God like Qiaoya.
"Are you still applauded? It was because he knew your condition that the host agreed to let Uncle Mingtu be your mentor, because Uncle Mingtu couldn't be a vegetarian for a long time because of physical reasons. But Uncle Mingtu should also be quite depressed, she has all her skills, but she can't teach you anything, because your body is worse than her!"
"I'm not ...... strong"
"No!" Mingfa waved his hand, "It has nothing to do with muscles and bones, it's just that the body is poor." I secretly asked Uncle Mingli, and she said that you had experienced death when you were young, and it stands to reason that you are either dead or a fool now, but you can be so alive and kicking that you ......" Mingfa covered his mouth violently and fiercely suppressed the rest of his words.
"What?" Mingfa's frightened look made Xue Ying inexplicable.
"I can't say it, I can't say it!" Mingfa shook his head desperately, and slapped himself lightly with his hand, "I just can't control this mouth!"
Seeing her like that, Xue Ying was not easy to ask. However, she admits that what Master Mingli said is very reasonable, if it weren't for her soul crossing over, the original owner of this body was indeed a fool with incomplete intellectual development.
"You know a lot of things. She sighed.
"I just love to chat!" Mingfa was annoyed, "I know that I will get into trouble, but I can't control myself, and I am guilty of sin!"
Xue Ying smiled mischievously and patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I promise I won't tell others." ā
"Well, I like you the most!" Mingfa happily pinched her fleshy cheeks. "Hurry up and eat, today there is a precept ceremony in Ganxiao Temple. ā
"Hey, is Ganxiao Temple going to accept new disciples?"
"Yes, after all, it's been a year since Master Ming Nian died. ā
Master Ming Nian was the master who came back from the north last year, and was seriously damaged due to the impact of the war in the northern Xinjiang, and finally died of illness. However, Xue Ying still didn't understand what the Ganxiao Temple had to do with the first anniversary of Master Mingnian's death?
After returning to the Ganxiao Temple, everyone had already gathered in the treasure hall, waiting for Master Mingxing to shave the new disciple.
It stands to reason that Xue Ying should not have participated in this kind of occasion, but Mingfa didn't give her a chance to refuse at all, and directly dragged her to the treasure hall and stood behind Master Mingjue.
The new disciple knelt in front of the Buddha, his jet-black hair cascading down behind him, flowing like a waterfall. The man bowed his head and listened carefully to Master Mingxing's teachings, and then Master Mingxing reaffirmed whether she had decided to accept the discipline of Ganxiao Temple and rely on Master Mingde as her guru to meditate and practice.
"The disciple is willing. ā
The man's soft and gentle voice made Xue Ying couldn't help but glance at her back curiously: it seemed that it should be a young woman in her teens, about the same age as Mingxin Mingsi.
The process of shaving was unexpected by Xue Ying, because almost every step she made, Master Mingxing would repeatedly ask the other party if she had decided to become a monk, and later, Xue Ying was even a little drowsy, and she didn't wake up until a few words were poured into her ears.
āā¦ā¦ Give you the name of the Dharma and explain the thoughts. ā
Mingnian: The same Dharma name as the master who passed away last year?!
No wonder this Ganxiao Temple regardless of the age of the word "Ming" from the name, it turns out that the people in it are fixed, after a master passes away, the new person will inherit her name.
After coming out, she was still absent-minded, until Mingxin came over and patted her on the shoulder: "Mingche, what are you thinking?"
"Did Ganxiao Temple have a master named Mingche before?"
Mingxin covered his mouth and smiled: "Of course not, you are not our beginner disciple." ā
Xue Ying was a little disappointed: she thought that she had inadvertently taken a big step towards becoming a monk? It turned out that she was thinking too much......
"If I'm going to become a monk...... she didn't finish speaking, someone on the other side was calling Mingxin, and Mingxin answered and touched her head.
"Then don't think about it, Master Mingli said, you can't be my Buddhist disciple. ā
Xue Ying was shocked, and before she could ask clearly, Mingxin had already waved her hand and left.
Why can't she? Didn't she come here "all the way" just to experience cultivation and eventually become a qualified Buddhist disciple? That was her ultimate goal!
Could it be because she wanted to live a "carefree" childhood too much, and it seemed that the six roots were impure, so people looked down on her because Master Mingli looked down on her?
Hmph, count it up, Master Mingtu is more impure than her, okay, how did that person enter the door of Ganxiao Temple?
Thinking of Master Mingtu, Xue Ying then remembered the legendary "Chuan Shuai" - Master Mingtu refused to see her for so long, so that she still hadn't had time to ask about the matter between Master Mingtu and Chuan Shuai.
Master Mingtu was Chuan Shuai's wife before she became a monk, and she was the head of the Meiling Liang family, but why did she become a monk? Moreover, after becoming a monk, she still cared about the affairs of her niece and nephew, and even entrusted the newborn child to her, an outsider, particularly unreliable......
There are so many questions, I really hope to have the opportunity to ask clearly!
Xue Ying looked up to the sky and sighed.
