Halfway up the mountainside, under the pine and cypress trees, Song Manqiu looked at Quanzhou Mansion from afar, and his thoughts drifted away.

"Amitabha, the poor monk is wide, what is the female benefactor looking for me?"

Song Manqiu turned around, and the one he saw was really a monk in his thirties, slightly fat, with a smile on his face, just as Bu Gongzi said with a wide heart and a fat body.

"The master is polite. When she came, she deliberately changed into Confucian clothes, and at this time, it was also an ordinary woman's blessing ceremony, "The little woman has something important to do, and she asks to see the abbot of Puci......"

"The female benefactor came unfortunately, the abbot is in retreat, so it is inconvenient to disturb. Guang Kai's statement is the same as that of the previous monk who knew the guest.

“...... It was Bu Gongzi who asked me to come, and he said that the master might have a way to let me meet the abbot. Song Manqiu looked earnest.

"Step Boy......" Monk Guangkai was shocked, but his face was well concealed: "Which step boy?"

Song Manqiu was a little puzzled, didn't this monk recognize Bu Gongzi? Or did the three monks mentioned by Bu Gongzi not include the one in front of him? Is it a mistake?

"Tian Mu Bu said...... "She decided to give it a try."

"It turned out to be that step boy," Guang Kai nodded and smiled, "How did he talk to the female benefactor?"

Song Manqiu confessed frankly, but replaced the sentences describing the three of them with a more pleasant statement, and changed it into "Thirteen or fourteen years old with a frank temperament, thirty-year-old with a kind complexion, twenty-seven or eighteen suffering from mouth disease", after saying this, he hesitated for a moment, or added: "Bu Gongzi said that if he gets what he wants, he will definitely go up the mountain to copy the scriptures one day to express his gratitude." ”

Guang Kai secretly cool, and said that I didn't see you in such a big circle, but I didn't expect you to come to beg me, and said: "Wait a minute, let me go and see, is the abbot out of the customs." ”

"So there is Master Lao. Song Manqiu said happily.

......

......

Abbot Puci did not retreat at all, and when Guang Kai came to the wooden house on the top of the mountain, the door was open.

"Master......" He was standing outside the door, and was about to make an announcement, when he heard the abbot call him in.

Guang Kai raised his legs to enter the door, knelt down and asked, "Master already knows?"

"You say, should I see him?" said Abbot Puci sat cross-legged behind a clumsy low desk with a dim oil lamp. There was only one small window in the wooden house, and without this oil lamp, it would have been so dark that I could not even read the scriptures.

"The disciple can't see clearly. Guang Kai replied truthfully.

"The cause and effect of the world, how can you see it all. Abbot Puci smiled slightly, not at all the frame of a monk, but like an elder chatting with his juniors, "Just like Quanzhou City under this mountain, from the mountain, you can only see a rough idea, if you want to see carefully, you have to get involved in it." ”

"The disciple understands that if he wants to see clearly, he has to be close, but if it involves the dust net, it hinders the practice. "Guang Kai thoughtfully.

"I am dying for my teacher, and my days are numbered, so what can I do if I concentrate on cultivation, but I am concerned about the three thousand disciples in the temple. I want my Kaiyuan Temple, standing for thousands of years, after the vicissitudes of life, I can't be defeated in my hands. Abbot Puci shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "You see, I haven't been able to make an inch of progress in my practice for the teacher over the years, maybe it's because I have an obsession in my heart. ”

"Master, promoting the Dharma is not an obsession. Guang Kai said solemnly.

"It's just self-deception, when does the Dharma need us to deliberately promote it?" The abbot of Puci gradually calmed down: "Guang Kai, if the abbot is passed on to you in the future as a teacher, don't blame me." ”

"Master......" Guang Kai suddenly bowed, and there was already a trace of choking in his voice.

"The head of the abbot's temple, if I pass it on to you, it means that this obsession has also been passed on to you, which naturally hinders your practice, and it is also a last resort to be a teacher. Abbot Puci sighed: "If you talk about Huigen, you don't lose Guangnian Guanghui, but this abbot's position belongs to you." ”

"The disciple understands. When Guang Kai raised his head, his eyes were a little moist.

"Do you know why I let the three of you go down the mountain a month ago?"

"The disciple has been watching Quanzhou for a long time, and I only feel that the number of qi has changed......," Guang Kai replied seriously.

"Yes, not only Quanzhou City, but also the number of Qi Min Dao Qi has changed, and this change happened to be when the step donor stepped in. Abbot Puci said lightly: "I asked you to go to Jianzhou Mansion to let you get closer and take a look." ”

"The disciple couldn't see clearly when he got closer. When Guangkai returned to the mountain gate, he had already reported it, and then he repeated it again.

"If you can't see clearly, there are variables, which is impermanence. Abbot Puci looked at the oil lamp in front of him, and the flames of the oil lamp were also reflected in his cloudy eyes.

"It's the disciple's cultivation that is not perfect. Guang Kai said.

Abbot Puci didn't refute, and said with a smile: "I can't see it clearly as a teacher." ”

This time, Guangkai didn't speak.

Both the master and apprentice bowed their heads in contemplation.

After a long time, Abbot Puci said softly: "You go and tell the donor that there is an ice boat on the river, and as soon as this boat arrives in Bianjing, her family will be exhausted." When the donor came to the mountain to copy the scriptures, let Guangnian get along with him more......"

When Guang Kai looked up, he saw that the master had closed his eyes and looked peaceful, as if he had fallen asleep.

Even though he had vaguely expected this result just now, he suddenly tensed up and tears welled up in his eyes.

Guang Kai opened his mouth and shouted the word "Master" repeatedly, but he couldn't make a sound. It wasn't until tears covered his whole face that he made a little noise: "The disciple doesn't complain about the master, the disciple doesn't complain about the master......"

On this day, the abbot of Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou, Tongtian Arhat passed away, and soon after, the news spread, shocking the world.

And when Song Manqiu took a note from Guang Kai's hand, he didn't know what had just happened, he only felt that the monk's eyes in front of him were a little red and swollen, and his face did not have the previous smile.

She opened the note, shocked, and looked at Guangkai in amazement.

Song Manqiu had heard that even twenty years ago, when the first emperor visited Kaiyuan Temple, the content of the paper obtained from Tongtian Arhat was difficult to understand, and Mu Ling was ambiguous.

But the content on the paper in front of me is too specific and creepy.

"Before Master passed away, I asked me to convey the above sentence to the female benefactor. "Wide open and close ten ways.

Ren Song Manqiu no longer understands the magical powers of Buddhism, and he also knows the weight of this sentence.

This monk turned out to be the personal disciple of Abbot Puci, and from the time he left to this moment, it was only more than half an hour!

In just over half an hour, Tongtian Arhat actually passed away?! And before he passed away, he gave this piece of advice on paper!

There could be no such coincidence!

Song Manqiu suddenly knelt down in the direction of the top of the mountain, and knocked his head three times without saying a word, and he didn't even notice the blood on his forehead.

Monk Guangkai stood aside, letting her kneel and kowtow, as if all this she had done was what she should have done.

"Master!" When Song Manqiu got up, his expression was resolute, and his eyes were like torches: "Kaiyuan Temple is a great grace, Lin'an Song Clan, never forget!"

Guang Kai didn't say anything as usual, but said lightly: "The situation is urgent, the female donor should go down the mountain quickly." When he met the benefactor one day, he hoped to tell him not to forget to come to the mountain to copy the scriptures. ”
