Master Zhipu watched the change in King Jin's expression, still smiling kindly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"We should not be fooled by its beautiful surface, let alone give up the sweetness of the aftertaste because of its bitterness. Everything requires patience and meditation. Everything that is beautiful is worth savoring."

King Jin listened to the master's few words and burst into tears.

How is life otherwise! The surface is beautiful, but if you want to taste the sweetness, you must experience bitterness.

After drinking tea, King Jin said that he wanted to stay in the temple for a few days. Master Zhipu readily agreed.

King Jin has a very high literary literacy, and Master Zhipu likes it very much. After chatting and chatting, it was getting dark, and Master Zhipu, who couldn't bear to be separated, was very happy to arrange their accommodation when he heard that King Jin was going to stay overnight.

King Jin didn't want to go home, and he heard that Master Zhiyi was also here. So I decided to stay for a few days and find an opportunity to get in touch with this master of wisdom.

The guest houses in the monastery are very clean and elegant. There are very few things in this room where King Jin lives, only some things necessary for sleeping and water cups and the like. On the contrary, such an environment is very comfortable, and it makes people feel relaxed and clean like never before.

King Jin has been in a depressed mood recently, and he has always been disturbed by Lu Yuxuan's memories and has been unable to sleep every night. Strange tonight, sleeping in this room was a dreamless night, and I had a very good sleep for the first time in a long time.

Wake up in the morning refreshed, hear the birds outside the window one after another, King Jin got up and pushed open the window, look at the eyes full of greenery, sometimes bloom a little unknown small flowers, in the distance between the mountains there is morning fog drifting, it is like a fairyland on earth.

King Jin saw that there was no one around, and jumped out of the window. Arrived at the temple trail outside. After walking a few steps along the path, I saw a monk with a round face and a broad face, wearing an earthy yellow monk's robe and a red robe on the outside. I was exercising there in the morning.

King Jin was pleasantly surprised, but he didn't expect that there were also people exercising in this temple in the morning. Ran forward and said happily: "The master also exercises in the morning?" Can I join in the exercises? ”

The old monk was obviously taken aback, "Oh, donor at will! ”

King Jin didn't care so much, and then practiced. This monk looks not young, but he is as light as a swallow and his hands and feet are nimble. King Jin was a little struggling to follow.

King Jin secretly thought in his heart, looking at the old monk's eyes with bright eyes, extraordinary bearing, and very good force, his status and status must not be too low. If you can learn one or two of these skills, you can already be proud of the people who practice martial arts in the world.

I don't know how long I've been practicing, King Jin is already covered in sweat. The old monk finally stopped. He said a word to King Jin and walked in the direction of the room with light steps.

Seeing this, King Jin hurriedly caught up, "Master, the master's force is really good." Will you take me as an apprentice? ”

The monk was taken aback when he heard King Jin's words, but it didn't show it at all on the surface. When others ask me to learn from me, they are practicing Buddhism or scripture theory, and this kid wants to learn martial arts from me. I was the first person to think I was good at martial arts.

The monk's martial arts are indeed excellent, but his cultivation of Buddhism is too profound, so that others ignore his martial arts. Today, he was praised by King Jin, and as a monk, he was surprised and happy in his heart.

Looking at King Jin who was kneeling on one knee, the monk walked over and helped him up. "Young people, Buddhists not only teach martial arts, but also study Buddhism. Forgive the old man for not taking you as a disciple. ”

King Jin said without hesitation: "Then I will also rest the Dharma and ask the master to accept me as a lay disciple." ”

The monk was moved by his persistence and nodded in agreement. "Well, if you are so persistent, the old man will take you as a disciple. Hurry up! ”

When the king of Jin heard the old monk say this, he was overjoyed and bowed, "Disciple see master!" ”

"Master Zhiyi, I've been looking for you here for a long time!" Zhipu's voice came from afar.

When he got closer, he walked around a few cherry blossom trees before he saw King Jin next to him. His face suddenly changed from relaxed joy to surprise.

"How did His Royal Highness King Jin get here?"

Master Zhipu, King Jin, and Master Zhiyi were all stunned, and the three of them looked at each other.

"How could King Jin be in this place?" Zhipu is an independent courtyard, and no one else can enter except Master Zhipu.

"Master Zhiyi?" Only then did King Jin realize that he had just worshipped the famous Master Zhiyi as his teacher, and the purpose was to learn martial arts. He glanced at Master Zhiyi with an embarrassed expression.

I saw that the master's demeanor was free, and the surprise at the moment when he first knew that he was the king of Jin had long disappeared. I saw his long eyes smile into a crescent moon, "Amitabha, it seems that I have a relationship with King Jin." ”

Master Zhipu looked at the window of the guest house where King Jin lived in the distance, and probably knew what was going on here. Shaking his head, he couldn't deny it.

After Chen died in the country, Master Zhiyi returned to Lushan to cultivate carefully. Now, several years have passed, and Master Zhipu specially asked him to come here secretly to study the practice of Buddhism. It was originally kept secret, but it was accidentally seen, and many people came to visit and wanted to apprentice, but they were rejected by Master Zhiyi. The temple is overwhelmed.

Now I heard that Master Zhiyi had accepted King Jin as an apprentice, and I thought that this was also their fate.

There is no breakfast in the temple, and King Jin has the habit of eating after morning exercises. Now I can only meditate with the monks hungry.

Master Zhiyi saw the restless appearance of King Jin and asked him, "Amitabha, why don't you keep your soul?" ”

King Jin saw that the master had always closed his eyes, and he actually knew that he couldn't give up. He is even more convinced of the rumored cultivation of Master Zhiyi. Whispered back, "I'm a little hungry." ”

"Everything is felt by the mind. Amitabha. With that, the master re-entered the meditation.

King Jin tried to divert his mind and focus his mind on his breath. Soon I didn't feel hungry.

King Jin suddenly brightened, yes, thoughts! I was hungry because I was thinking that I should have breakfast at this time. Try to divert your mind and feel less hungry.

So, what about the troubles caused by the events of the last few days? His thoughts were focused on Lu Yuxuan's memory, how could he not be in pain? Try to shift your mind to the good things, and maybe they will all work out.

A morning passed quickly, and after the meditation was over, King Jin didn't feel hungry anymore.

Lunch was all fasting, and there was no meat and fish in the past, but King Jin ate it with relish.

Ever since he saw that ancient tree, King Jin had been haunted by Lu Yuxuan's memory. Every day, I don't know the taste of food, and I can't sleep. Today, when I eat such simple food, I feel like I'm relishing.

King Jin felt liberated. I am full of gratitude to the Dharma and to my teacher, Master Zhiyi. Since then, I have developed a more intimate affection for both the practice of Buddhism and Buddhism.

After that, he lived in the monastery for several days, and cultivated a deep relationship with both Master Zhiyi and Master Zhipu.
