For five days in a row, Lianyin visited the north courtyard of the temple.

I don't know what method she used, but every time she was able to sneak in without the attention of the monks who visited the temple, and then she was admonished out by the monks. On the third day, the monks who visited the temple knew about Lianyin, and simply reported her matter directly to the abbot of the temple.

The abbot saw a lot of people, and naturally recognized which family Lian Yin was a child, so on the fourth day, when Lian Yin was admonished by the monks who visited the temple again, the abbot directly handed a handwritten letter to Cheng Zhijie, asking Cheng Zhijie to restrain his daughter, although she was small, but she could not enter and leave the inner courtyard of the temple at will, and it would be detrimental to the temple's Qing Xiu.

Cheng Zhijie's old face was turned red by this handwritten letter, and when he went home, he called Cheng Youcai and Lu Qiba, scolded the two of them, and asked the two of them to watch Lianyin carefully, and don't let her go to the Buddhist temple to hang around. As for Lianyin, he was naturally reluctant to scold.

But just scolding the two guards was useless, and the next day Lian Yin still insisted on going to the Dazong Temple, and no one could stop him.

The young man was quite surprised when he saw her on the first day, but on the fifth day, he was calm.

"When will you be willing to go back to my house with me?" Lian Yin climbed the window edge with both hands, and asked the young man this question countless times.

The young man was not only calm about her daily appearance, but even calm about her question, so calm that he was able to answer her, "Little benefactor, I am a monk, and I can't go back to your house with you." ”

"You lie, you have hair, where is the monk?"

Seeing her glaring at him, the young man knew that she was looking at her hair, and after a pause, he said slowly, "I'm going to be ordained tomorrow." ”

Lian Yin was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile, "Do you still have to choose a good day and an auspicious day for shaving?" ”

In fact, it is really necessary to choose a good day and an auspicious day. This is because before the official ordination of ordination, it is necessary to find a monk to be one's own refuge teacher, and then it is necessary to obtain the consent of the abbot and the stewards of the monastery before he can be ordained and take refuge in the Buddhist family.

When the young man came to Chang'an City, he came with the presiding officer of Jinhua Temple in Wuzhou, and he was looking for Master Daoyue, a scholar of many parts of the temple. After Master Daoyue reported to the abbot to preside, and then the presiding officer considered and understood, the date for him to be ordained and ordained.

Compared with other lay disciples who seek ordination, he can be regarded as having climbed the relationship and taken a shortcut. Otherwise, how can you be ordained in just seven days?

The young man didn't answer, and Lian Yin asked him again, "Then can I come to see you shave tomorrow?" ”

The young man turned his head to look at her, and when he saw that she was asking seriously, he suddenly felt a little funny. This little girl is really still a half-grown child, although she hangs the words "pressing the village and the father" all day long, and asks him not to leave home. But in fact, she didn't know what a monk was.

Thinking about it was funny, he really laughed out loud.

Lian Yin looked at the smile on his lips, and suddenly showed an obsessed look, "Suppress the village minister, you should keep laughing, you look so good when you smile." Just like when he recites sutras, his gentle smile can heal people's hearts, as if he were a bodhisattva who purifies the world.

If he had to put it on until then, he might have put away his smile and treated her coldly, but now that he knew that she was just a child who didn't understand anything, he was no longer ready to treat her coldly, and anyway, after tomorrow, she shouldn't be able to come to him again.

Thinking of this, his smile did not decrease but increased when he looked at her again, and it was rare to obey her once, "Okay, you can come to see me tomorrow to shave." ”

"You can come and see, you are so good." was satisfied, and Lian Yinxiao's whole little face was flushed, and she looked very cute and cute.

The curvature of the corners of his lips lifted slightly.

According to the rules of the temple, you can invite relatives and friends to watch the ordination of shaving your hair, as long as you talk to the abbot in advance. Since the young man promised that Lianyin would let her come to watch, he naturally would not break his trust with her, so he asked the abbot that day. The abbot knew that he wanted to watch the ordination because of the legato that he had often come in the past few days, so he naturally would not refuse.

In fact, even if he forgot to ask the abbot, Lian Yin, as the daughter of Cheng Zhijie, and has a brother who is still a princess, it is still easy to come to this great chief temple to see and receive ordination. As a royal temple, the temple has different privileges from ordinary people for those who are related to the royal family.

On the second day, after the morning class, the temple set up a special ordination altar, and the abbot presided over the ordination with the teachers of each department in the temple to attend the ordination, including the young man, a total of six people will be ordained today.

Lian Yin arrived at the Dazong Temple early in the morning, sat and waited at a place outside the ordination altar, just waiting to see today's precepts.

Cheng Youcai and Lu Qiba followed behind her without moving, to say that Cheng Youcai felt that her eldest lady was too nonsense, so today she had the same idea as the young man, Lian Yin is really still a child who doesn't understand anything.

After today, her "Boss of the Village" officially entered the Shamen and said goodbye to the world. And she didn't know the meaning of it, but she came to watch people escape into the empty door. Cheng Youcai thought, maybe after a few years, when Lianyin really grows up and understands the meaning of this, I don't know if she will cry for today's stupidity.

When the ordination ceremony officially began, Lian Yin walked to the closest position to the ordination altar and watched the young man lead the way by the novice.

Today's young man has changed out of his half-worn robe, changed into Shamen's monk's robe, the gray monk's robe is not ugly on him, his steps are calm and indifferent, when he ascends the altar, it seems that this step by step is the Buddha's avenue.

Lian Yin's gaze followed him, and his eyes were stained with some piety.

The six unshaved boys were divided into two groups in groups of three. In the first group, the boy lang is called "a altar". When they kneel down on the futon in a row, the abbot presides over the novice vows, and after shaving their hair, they can receive the vows.

The novice vows contain a total of ten commandments.

After receiving these ten commandments, it is regarded as the will to enter the Buddha with sincerity.

When the abbot shaved the young man, many monks on the side muttered Sanskrit scriptures, and the sentences were cleansed.

Lianyin was rarely quiet, watching the bunches of hair on the top of the young man fall beside him, Lianyin suddenly remembered a sentence in the Medicine Master Liuli Merit Sutra in his mind: May when I get Bodhi in the next life, my body will be like glass, clear inside and outside, and pure and immaculate; The light is vast, the merit is towering, the body is good and settled, and the flame net is more solemn than the sun and the moon......

The abbot above the altar said to the young man, "...... Enter my sand gate, from the word reader, you will be called a debate machine in the future. ”

The debater folded his hands, lowered his eyebrows, and recited in his mouth, "The disciple debates the precepts of the abbot. ”

Finally got his name, Lian Yin couldn't help but smile slightly.

Debate, may you become a Buddha in this life.
