Chapter 324 Entrustment

Hearing Grandma's request, the abbot master was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "The two of us are really worthy of being old people, I won't tell you, even if you don't mention it, I plan to do this this time, let you take Wushan, the child, down the mountain to see and see." Master Abbot said with a smile.

"Master, you're driving me down the mountain." Goseon was startled and said loudly.

"Wushan, although you have been associated with my Buddha since you were a child, but after all, the temple is clean, and the hardships are abnormal, you are still young, you should not be trapped in this small temple for the rest of your life, you have the right to be a substitute for the teacher, return to the world, go to this world, go for a walk." The abbot master said this, which not only took care of Wushan's emotions, but also made Wushan have to follow us down the mountain willingly. But then again, Wu Shan, this kid is talented, not here, he likes to study geology, but he is also a rare talent, maybe after going down the mountain, he can be more promising, although our Kui family does not have the courage of the Li family, but it is more than enough to support a Wu Shan, this is just a matter of effort.

It's already late after dinner, and everyone hasn't rested well recently, so everyone rested early this night, and I wandered around the yard, but I didn't feel sleepy, and I saw Goseon standing in front of the fish tank, alone.

"Still feeding the fish so late? Do fish also like to eat supper? I quipped.

"No, I'm just chatting with them." Goseon said.

"Chat? Do you always talk to fish? "I asked, how long has it been to be in the temple. This is the first time I've chatted with Gozen, unlike children of the same age, Gozen doesn't pester you to talk, he is quieter than many children.

"Yes, I usually have any unhappy things, I talk to these fish, and when I talk to them, my heart will be much more comfortable, although the master said that there is something on my mind to tell the Buddha, but some things always feel that it is not good to talk to the Buddha. You say, don't you? Goseon asked me.

"So you're always talking to the fish?" I asked.

"Hmm." Gozen nodded. I feel a little pantothenic acid in my heart, how much does this little man have in his heart, looking at the entire temple, there are no monks of his age.

"Gozen. Do you have any friends? I asked.

"Friends? These fish are my friends. Goseon said.

"No, no, no. I'm talking about being able to play with you. Eat and study with friends. I said, and Gozen suddenly fell silent. Then he shook his head.

"You've never been down a mountain?" I asked.

"The next time, I went to the mountain with the master to buy medicine, but I came back soon, but I also saw children about my age at the bottom of the mountain, they were dressed differently from me, and they seemed to look different from me, and I don't know if they would want to be friends with me. Donor, will I come back after I go down the mountain? I'll miss the master, you don't know that the master's health has not been good recently, so I'm a little reluctant to be a master. Goseon said.

"Wushan, your life belongs to you, your master's belongs to your master, if you miss him, you can come back to see him at any time, but this temple does not belong to you, don't you want to be a geologist, there is no way for you to be a geologist here. When you get to the bottom of the mountain, you have to work hard to adapt to the life at the bottom of the mountain, it may be a little difficult at first, but soon you will get used to it, trust me. I comforted Wushan and said, finally Wushan smiled, and then nodded firmly, "Look, that's right, we will arrange some more things on the mountain, and we will always stay for a while, during this time, you can accompany your master." I said.

"Okay." Goseon said happily, and then we said goodbye, and I went back to my room, and suddenly I felt sleepy, and after a while, I fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, I felt refreshed, as if I had taken away all the unpleasantness of the past few days. I didn't see grandma everywhere, Yun Ximing said, as soon as he got up in the morning, he saw that grandma had gone down the mountain, presumably to deal with family affairs again, and I don't know how busy it has been recently, grandma has so many things to deal with. I wanted to talk to Gozen, but I ran into the abbot next to the fish tank where guppies were raised.

"Morning, master." I greeted me politely.

"Little donor Kui, are you here to find Wushan?" The master asked.

"yes, I was going to talk to Gozen." I say.

"Unfortunately, Wushan accompanied the old benefactor Kui down the mountain this morning, he is about to travel far away, and he always wants to buy some supplies for him under the mountain." The abbot master said, "Shi mainly has something to talk about, I don't know if I would like to accompany the old man to have a cup of tea and have a chat." The master said.

"That's good." I then made a gesture of please, and the abbot pushed open the door of the bedroom next to him, and I saw that hot tea had already been prepared on the table, and it seemed that the master had already prepared and was waiting for me here. "The master made tea early in the morning, waiting for me here?" I asked.

"I can't hide it from the donor, I just have something to ask the donor." The master said politely.

"Master doesn't have to be polite, please speak directly if you have something to say."

"Last night's conversation between you and Wushan, Lao Ke overheard it, the donor said it very well, and thanks to the donor, otherwise Wu Shan's temperament would not have agreed to go down the mountain so easily, Lao Qu thanked the donor here first." The master said and even bowed to me.

"Master, what are you doing, hurry up, these are all okay." I was flattered.

"The donor knows that since he was sensible, Wushan has lived in this Lingshan Temple, eating fasting meals, drinking well water, and facing scriptures and Buddha statues every day. Now it is no better than before, and life under the mountain is much better than on the mountain. Those of us who are accustomed to seeing the warmth and coldness of the world voluntarily go up the mountain to cultivate, but Wushan is not, he has the right to choose his own life. All I can give him is a full meal, a bucket of literature and ink, which is nothing at all, and a child of his age should still enter the school, which is the right way. The world's human feelings are warm and cold, and he must always experience it to know whether it is good or bad, right or wrong. When he becomes an adult, if he sees through the red dust like us and plans to take refuge in Buddhism, then it will be the day when we should see him again. Now, I still want him to come down the mountain and have a good experience. The master said.

"What the master said is true, but just do this, is the master willing to do it?" I asked.

"Willing, willing, giving will be gained. If I give up this child's innocence and life experience because I am not reluctant, one day he will blame me, not to mention that if I am a monk and cut off seven emotions and six desires, what is there to be reluctant to give up. The master said.

"Just now the master said that there is something you want to ask me?" I asked.

"Exactly, this time Wushan followed you down the mountain, Lao Wei can't go, and this farewell, maybe it's goodbye, it's not sure that the child has not come to open Lingshan Temple since he was a child, and he knows very little about the world under the mountain. The words spoken by the abbot master were so earnest that I didn't know what to do for a while.

"Master, don't say that, I'm very close to Wushan, and this kid is very smart, under the mountain..."

"It is because this child is smart, I am more worried, people in the world, but all dull people, will not be easy to make big mistakes in the future, the so-called great wisdom is like foolishness, this is the truth, life in the world is not necessarily stupid, but such a talented and intelligent child, if someone is not good at guiding in the future, it is inevitable that they will not go astray. I have known your grandfather for a long time, and today I have come to observe you, the donor, and you are all kind-hearted people, so I entrust you with enlightenment, and I hope that you will treat one thing as your own. "The master said this sincerely, but I almost choked on a cup of tea, and regarded it as my own, what is this?

"Master... I'm less than twenty years older than Wushan, and I really don't count as if I was my own or something, but the eldest sister is like a mother, so I think Wushan is a younger brother, and in the future, I will definitely restrain him like asking my own brother. I promised.

"So good, very good." So just like that, I somehow had an extra half-brother. "I heard the old benefactor Kui say that you will go down the mountain in ten days?"

"Yes, we only planned to stay here for a month this time, and besides, I will go to the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences to further my studies in the future, and the formalities there have been almost completed, so we can't delay it for too long." I say.

"I don't know how the donor's ancient law secretary studied when I met the donor in the cave that day?" The master asked.

"Don't hide it from the master, there is no progress, these days because of the old monk... I mean, your master's business, I didn't study it hard. "I'm ashamed to say, thinking about it, I really don't have much time left, ten days, it's not long, it's here in a blink of an eye, about what grandma said can confuse the parallel space, so as to fly the eaves and walk the wall, I haven't made any progress at all.

"Before the donor helped the old man but a hidden danger in the Lingshan Temple, now there is a willingness to help the old man take care of Wushan, the old man is grateful, and the grace is retributive, the old man has nothing to help you in the secret art of the donor, only one may be able to help the donor point out a thing or two."

"Please give me advice." I said respectfully.

"Everything in the world is born from one, pure heart and quiet one, I heard that the donor's meditation has a certain attainment, and the apprentice learned the method of contemplating the subtleties, so very good, the combination of the two, coupled with the donor's own talent, must be able to peek a trace of mystery from the thousands of worlds." The master said in the clouds.

"I also hope that the master can make it clear."

"Three thousand worlds, see the subtle knowledge, born from one, the old man has a way of enlightenment that he has his own understanding, so let's talk about it with the donor." The master pinched out a tea leaf from the teacup, and picked a wild flower from the corner of the wall outside the door, "This way of enlightenment is between this leaf and a flower."
