Qin Ying raised her eyebrows and didn't say anything. After waiting for Master Yuan to walk out of the dining hall with a bowl, she said to Su Huan: "He should be a well-deserved model in this Hanlin Academy." ”

"There are detailed rituals for monks to walk, live, sit and lie down. So it's hard for him to be a role model. Su Huan smiled and put away a pile of sheep bones on his desk and said.

After hearing this, she suddenly remembered that she knew Ruqi. This man is also very strict with himself - the people of the Buddhist family seem to be carved out of the same mold.

At this time, Ruqi, who was far away in the Pure Industry Temple of Zhongnan Mountain, sneezed.

"What, is it typhoid fever? Turn your face away and let me look. Dao Xuan Shi was sitting in the Medicine Master Hall, copying commonly used prescriptions, and when he heard such a movement from Ruqi in front of him, he said with concern.

Ruqi is an honest person who can no longer be honest, so he immediately stopped the work of selecting medicinal materials in his hand and turned back according to his words.

Dao Xuanshi looked at the tips of his reddened ears, squinted his eyes and sighed with a smile: "You are not typhoid fever, you are suffering from some lovesickness." ”

"A monk can't make a mouth karma." Ruqi's ears couldn't help but turn even redder, the medicine cabinet he had just opened was not pushed properly, and with a shake of his hand, he scattered the dogwood branches and leaves on the ground. He hurriedly bent down and picked it up.

"The poor monk didn't tell a lie." Dao Xuanshi teased the other party, saw a scene that was even more interesting than he imagined, and lowered his eyes and was busy with pen and ink work, "...... Have you ever thought about that kid named Qin Ying? ”

For example, the seven faces were embarrassed, and the heart and Dao had been practicing with the Taoist Master for nearly a year, but he never realized that the Taoist Master was so fond of exploring this private matter.

"He has given a lot of kindness to the little monk, so the little monk still dare not forget it." Ruqi was silent for a moment, thinking about what he thought was appropriate.

"I can't do it by dedicating myself to Buddhism and studying medicine, so I think about other things in my free time." Daoxuanshi's pen stopped, he picked up the ruler and blew it, "--It seems that the poor monk can't let you be idle at will. After you have packed up the dried herbs, you will weigh the medicine on this recipe according to the dosage, wrap it in fine arrowroot cloth, and send it to the monk Farin of Longtian Temple. ”

"Yes." For example, seven dogwoods in one place received the long case on the side of the medicine cabinet, stepped forward to take the ruler Su, and answered simply, and at the same time thought in hindsight, it turned out that the Taoist Master was waiting for him here.

"Vulgarity is fairy bones, and affection is the heart of the Buddha." Daoxuan Shi chanted Lian'er's poem without beginning and end, "You walk on the sheep intestine path leading to Longtian Temple, recite these words a few times, and maybe you can understand something." Dao Xuanshi added with a slow smile.

Ruqi nodded when he heard this, and memorized these words silently and carefully.

“…… Vulgar is immortal bones, and affection is the heart of the Buddha. Is this in conflict with the law of the quarter? However, Dao Xuanshi is the patriarch of the Vinaya, how could he sing such a poem that violates his own sect righteousness? Ruqi whispered while carrying a few pills in a dignified manner.

A year ago, Ruqi and Qin Ying went to Longtian Temple in Zhongnan Mountain to go to a vegetarian banquet. Because of this, he formed a fate with Master Falin and Master Daoxuan, and gradually became acquainted.

After the vegetarian feast, Qin Ying went down the mountain, and Ruqi stayed in the Pure Industry Temple of Zhongnan Mountain, where he practiced Buddhism and medicine under the seat of Daoxuan Master.

Daoxuanshi and Falinshi are old friends, and they are the masters of the two temples on Gyubong Mountain, and they sometimes need to rely on messengers to communicate with each other. Since Ruqi gained the trust of the Taoist preacher, he began to deliver news for the two.

Longtian Temple and Pure Industry Temple are all at Guifeng Mountain, the distance is not far, such as the seven body legs are long, the road is very fast, copy the remote path and half a stick of incense kung fu to arrive.

The monks of Longtian Temple who responded to the door had already known Ruqi a year ago. Now open the door to Ruqi, with a sincere smile on his face. Seeing this, Ruqi folded his hands and bent down to make a return salute.

When I walked around the Daxiong Treasure Hall, I met many monks along the way. For example, in the past, he did not put on an arrogant attitude that was higher than the top because he was now a close confidant of Daoxuan Master and Falin Master.

And the monks here a year ago1 used to be very unwelcome. Because Ruqi was brought into Longtian Temple by Qin Ying, who was a Taoist priest, at that time.

- Imagine how the seven monks who are wearing sea green monk clothes, but who are willing to fall to the ground and mingle with the Taoist priest's stick, how can this situation make the monks' hearts feel comfortable.

So at that time, they were always respectful to Ruqi in front of them and contemptuous behind their backs.

Ruqi has always been like a mirror in his heart, and he sees this very thoroughly, but he doesn't think much about it.

As the old saying goes, no one can do anything wrong if he is not a saint. If a monk has not yet attained Buddhahood, how can he not commit a single thought or word mistake?

He walked to Master Falin's room, knocked twice and pushed the door open and entered, and heard Master Falin sigh and say, "I just sent a letter to Master Daoxuan the day before yesterday, saying that the two legs of the poor monk are a little uncomfortable, and it is difficult to sit cross-legged for a quarter of an hour. He's pretty fast. ”

For example, there are guests in Master Qilian's room, and he will leave after putting down the medicine. Master Falin recruited Ruqi and asked him to sit down on his knees with his robe retracted.

"What is this?" When the kind-faced middle-aged monk heard the door, he took what he had just said, and instead raised his eyes and asked.

Master Falin stroked his beard and smiled, "He is a monk who always serves the Taoist Xuanshi, and he is called Ruqi. ”

"Since this is not an outsider, the poor monk will not shy away from suspicion and continue." The middle-aged monk cleared his throat before continuing, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has had bad legs and feet since the Qingming Dynasty. As the saying goes, if you are in a hurry, you will go to the doctor, but now your majesty is in a hurry, but you are seeking the sect in a hurry. He first invited the Taoist priest Qin Ying to enter the palace to pray for His Royal Highness the Prince, and now he began to ask the temple masters of various major temples if there were any people who knew how to heal. Almost every major temple in Chang'an City has a Zen doctor who specializes in seeing Zen diseases, but they are reluctant to respond to the edict.

"It's not a good thing to be on the side of the royal family. If one is not careful, it will be a disaster of death. ”

"Why?" Ruqi didn't have time to be surprised by Qin Ying's entry into the palace, so he picked up the important question.

"Have you ever heard about Monk Falla two years ago?" Seeing that the child shook his head like a rattle, Master Falin sighed and opened the chatterbox that had been sealed for a long time:

"The current Emperor Taishang is also the founding emperor of Li Tang, and he and Monk Falla first met in the grassland. The Emperor Taishang thought that Ya had the ability to calculate the right time and place, so he invited him into the account as a guest staff. It was a wonderful opportunity to know the future of the Ninety-Five, but it was also a bane for the future of Falla. ”

Ruqi looked at Master Falin with an inquiring look and said, "These little monks don't know anything, please come here carefully." ”
