Time is like sunlight leaking through the leaves, and before you know it, it casts dappled spots all over the ground. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the blink of an eye, it was another six years, and under the support of the Holy Bodhi, the life lotus and the white lotus grew up healthy to a lively age.
It's early in the morning again.
The young girl with short brown hair was sleeping soundly on the wooden bed, she was wearing a green cloth dress, holding a white quilt, her small white legs were wide open without any scruples, and her cute little toes like jade moved unconsciously, whenever a breeze blew, this little girl would move her raised eyebrows, as if she had sensed something.
This is the life lotus.
Another young girl with long brown hair straddled her legs across Minglian's body and propped her body on Minglian's body. This young girl was dressed in black and white cloth, and if you look closely at her appearance, you will find that she looks exactly like the Destiny Lotus - she is the sister of the Destiny Lotus, the White Lotus.
White Lotus looked at her sleeping sister, and she looked at the little crystal pink mouth, and the small nose - they all revealed an eternal beauty in their sleep.
A mischievous thought suddenly came to Bai Lian's heart, and she smiled slyly, grabbed a strand of her hair with one hand, and gently swept it over her small nose
Where could the child's sensitive skin be stimulated like this, and before Bai Lian could sweep it a few more times, Ming Lian had already sneezed lightly.
"Ahem~"
She opened her eyes, and her black eyes reflected the face of the white lotus. Maybe she had just woken up, and the little girl was still a little confused, she rubbed her eyes hard with her little hands, and then she called out glutinously:
"Sister, ...... early"
Before she could finish her words, Bai Lian's shallot-like index finger touched her lips.
"Shh Bai Lian deliberately lowered her voice and said in a difficult voice that seemed to be using all her strength, "Don't speak, Minglian, don't let the old man hear!" ā
"Huh? Why don't you let grandpa listen to ......"
"Shh Bai Lian's face was full of seriousness, "Don't let him hear it, don't let him hear it, come ~ Life Lotus!" She took her sister's little hand, "Let's sneak out to play!" ā
Just when Bai Lian's voice fell.
"Ahem!"
The old man's cough exploded in the ears of the two little girls like thunder, and this cough was of course deliberate, so it seemed full of energy.
"Why, who wants to sneak somewhere to play?" The slow voice of the Holy Bodhi followed, like a hemp rope, dragging the white lotus's eager heart back into the cage.
This eccentric girl suddenly pouted, her big eyes widened, her face was full of despair and grief, she turned her head exaggeratedly, stared at the holy Bodhi standing at the door, and gritted her teeth and said:
"Old-head-son-"
Minglian, who was pressed by Bai Lian, turned her head a little dazedly, and said in a daze, "Good morning, grandpa~"
"Good morning, Natal Lotus! That's right, Bai Lian, I remember who else hasn't handed in the Diamond Sutra! Although he was called so rudely, the holy Bodhi was not angry at all, he looked at Bai Lian's face with a smile, which was still cute even if he was angry, and said seemingly normally, "I remember how many times, ah, is it 6 times!" ā
"Whoever said it, you only need to copy it twice."
"If you want to go out, twice isn't enough! Of course, I'm just talking about you~ White Lotus! ā
"Why! It's not fair! Bai Lian stood up angrily, "Why is it only me who has to copy it four more times!" ā
"Because I'm afraid you'll not understand it if you copy it only twice!!"
"Who said I couldn't figure it out!" Bai Lian clasped her hands across her chest, looking like the most powerful in the world, "Hmph, I can completely understand it after reading it once!" ā
"Wow, my sister is so amazing!" The life lotus who looked up at the white lotus on the bed said adoringly.
"Of course, if you don't believe it, old man, take the test as you like~" Bai Lian tilted her head proudly and said confidently.
"Really?" Saint Bodhi smiled lightly, and he deliberately asked, "As long as the content of the Diamond Sutra is concerned, I can take anything test, right?" ā
"Of course, you can take the test, after copying it again, I have memorized the whole article anyway, and you can't get it to me no matter how you take the test."
"So, White Lotus, listen well, [Subodhi! What is the next sentence? ā
Bai Lian was stunned, her little head quickly went through the "Diamond Sutra", and then, she found an important problem.
"This question can't be counted! There are so many [Yu Yiyun He] in the "Diamond Sutra", who knows which one you are asking? ā
"Then why don't you recite all the [Yu Yiyun He]?"
Bai Lian is indeed smart, just a rhetorical question from the Holy Bodhi made her realize that maybe the question that the Holy Bodhi wanted to ask was not the real [next sentence], but what was he trying to ask?
After thinking about it for a while, Bai Lian replied with a vow, "Yu Yiyunhe's next sentence is that I can do whatever I love!" ā
Saint Bodhi's smile was the same as usual, which made Bai Lian unable to tell whether her answer was correct from his expression, but since the old man didn't say no, she still had to be a little confident in herself......
"How did you arrive at this answer?"
"From the meaning of the Diamond Sutra, isn't this sutra meant to let us break all the Dharma, all thoughts, and all troubles, but we don't want to let our own hearts be aware of it? If you insist on saying it, it means that you have to keep your heart, is it true that I am the only one? In this case, the answer to what I asked [Yu Yiyun He] is of course what I want~" These words shocked the life lotus who was lying obediently on the side, as if the messy "Diamond Sutra" in his mind became clear and clear in this sentence, but the holy Bodhi did not think like this.
He walked up to Bai Lian and patted her raised little head, as if to lower it a little.
"White Lotus, you understand, but you haven't really understood yet! So...... Copy it 10 times! ā
"Eh, eh? Why copy 10 times? Isn't it just necessary to copy it six times? ā
"Ah, it turned out to be copied six times, ahahaha, I'm old, and my head is a little weak, so be it, Bai Lian, you can copy it six times!" The Holy Bodhi raised his hair and let out the hearty laughter unique to the old man, and then patted the little head of the white lotus proudly.
āā¦ā¦ Damn, cunning old man, he actually deceived me! Bai Lian gritted her teeth again, and glared at the Holy Bodhi with evil (cute) ruthless (cute) (cute) ruthless (da), this fierce look seemed to be the reincarnation of the dragon god, of course, there was no use for eggs.
To tell the truth, when Bai Lian answered in a clear manner, the holy Bodhi was shocked, but as an enlightened monk, he sighed silently in the bottom of his heart.
The white lotus is smart, and the life lotus is dull, however, sometimes this intelligence is the stumbling block to true wisdom.
"Two little ones, don't lie in bed, have breakfast!"
As soon as these words came out, the attention of the two little ones immediately focused on breakfast.
"Do you have steamed buns this morning?" Minglian lay down and raised her hand.
"Nope!"
"Are there any wild herbs?" Bai Lian also asked on the side.
"Nope!"
"Where to eat?" The sisters replied in unison.
"Roast chicken!"
"Roast chicken again?" X2
"Aren't monks forbidden to eat meat?" Bai Lian asked.
"You can't kill."
"I remember that the precepts said that you can't eat meat!!" Minglian retorted earnestly - she just didn't want to eat roast chicken anymore.
", there is also a famous saying that says, wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha stays in his heart. Why, you don't want to have breakfast? ā
"Nope!" X2
"Then go wash your face!"
