Chapter 61: The Abbot's Dream
A thought suddenly popped up in Zhu Chongba's heart, that is, life can't wait, just do what you want to do! Although Zhu Chongba cannot change the course of history, he can still change it in some small places.
On the way back to Huangjue Temple, it was also not peaceful, thieves, hungry people, and rebels were in an endless stream, and Zhu Chongba's current identity as a monk played a great role at this time, otherwise it is estimated that he would have been arrested.
At that time, people still had a lot of respect for monks. It was by taking advantage of this mentality that the Red Turban Army developed rapidly. For Zhu Chongba at this moment, this is all an afterthought.
After countless hardships and hardships, Zhu Chongba and Xiaobao finally returned to Huangjue Temple alive.
Looking at this familiar and unfamiliar temple gate, Zhu Chongba has mixed feelings in his heart, he has a soul from the future, although he can rely on his wisdom to stay away from the suffering of this troubled world and be a leisurely little landlord, but he can't, because he is Zhu Chongba, Zhu Yuanzhang in the history of the future, so he can only grit his teeth and work hard.
At this time, the gate of Huangjue Temple is still closed, the cicadas on the trees are still singing, and the occasional bird call makes people feel that this place is really very quiet, compared with the chaotic world outside, this place is like a paradise, and Zhu Chongba at this moment is actually intoxicated.
"Brother Chong, I'm hungry! Where is this? Xiaobao's words brought Zhu Chongba's thoughts back to reality.
Only then did he remember that he hadn't even introduced himself to Xiaobao, "This is Huangjue Temple, I am the monk here, Xiaobao, if the host agrees, are you willing to be a monk?" ”
"Brother Chong, I will do whatever you do." Xiaobao said this very simply, without any hesitation, but there was a discordant episode, Xiaobao's stomach growled.
At this time, the corner door of Huangjue Temple opened, it turned out that when Zhu Chongba was in the temple, whether he was carrying water and chopping wood, he was in and out from here, Zhu Chongba fixed his eyes, it was no one else, it was his old acquaintance, the sweeping monk Zhenjue Uncle of Huangjue Temple, Zhu Chongba's law name is Rujing, but this law name Zhu Chongba has not said for many years, a wandering monk is a secular person who sees it all day long, and there is no need to discuss seniority.
"Are you still alive? Come on in! Master Zhenjue said enthusiastically to Zhu Chongba, Zhu Chongba was stunned for a while, but he quickly understood, it turned out that he was calling him, he was Master Rujing.
But Zhu Chongba didn't care much about these names or anything, he just said, "Uncle Shi is good!" I brought someone with me! ”
"It's okay, now the temple is short of people, this is your brother?" Then he glanced at Xiaobao again, and felt that this child was still very close to the Buddha, so he didn't say anything.
It turns out that Zhu Chongba's place in the temple is very small, after all, a little monk with a very low seniority will not have any good treatment, but now Zhu Chongba is no longer the same, think about it, in the past few years of wandering outside, he has changed a lot, if he was just a little novice who didn't know anything at the beginning, now he can be called a master.
Because Zhu Chongba has studied Buddhist scriptures in his spare time in recent years, he is also very diligent in the days of being a monk, he is not only interested in the art of war, but also in Buddhist scriptures, after all, at this time, in troubled times, people still believe in Buddhism very much.
Zhu Chongba now thinks very clearly, that is, to make full use of the conditions of this temple to develop himself, and when the time comes, he will naturally be useful.
"Come over here quietly!" Although Zhu Chongba didn't hear this voice many times, he remembered very well that it was the abbot's voice, and the experience of wandering outside in the past few years told him that he must have a good relationship with the person who speaks and counts, after all, he still has to stay here for a long time.
Zhu Chongba's reaction was really fast, the abbot's voice just fell, and he was already standing in front of the abbot, this speed is really not to say.
Seeing Zhu Chongba standing in front of him so quickly, the abbot was a little surprised, but he was very happy in his heart. Because he thinks that he is still very majestic, it is simply a decree forbidden, although in the eyes of others, this abbot is not an official, but in the Huangjue Temple, this acre and three points of land, his words are holy decrees.
There is also the name of this temple, which he doesn't understand, although he has been an abbot for many years, what does this temple have to do with the emperor or something?
One night some time ago, he suddenly had a dream, that is, among their monks, there was a future true dragon emperor, which scared his old man to wake up. When he woke up, he regretted it very much, thinking that he had woken up a little early, and if it was a little later and he knew which monk it was, how good it would be!
Recently, the abbot has been very busy, because he wants to determine which one is the true dragon emperor, but after watching it for many days, he doesn't look like anyone, but he is not sure. happened to hear that Zhu Chongba was back, and he immediately called Zhu Chongba over.
It's just that the abbot didn't look at whether Zhu Chongba was the real son of the dragon, he had a good impression of Zhu Chongba, originally the abbot thought that Zhu Chongba might starve to death outside, but now he came back alive, which made the old abbot very surprised, so he wanted to see Zhu Chongba.
"Rujing has been wandering outside for the past few years, has the Dharma improved?" The abbot's expression suddenly became majestic.
Although Zhu Chongba didn't understand what the old abbot wanted to do, he still answered honestly, "I don't dare to say that I am proficient, at least I am very familiar with it." Zhu Chongba's statement is actually very modest, because he is already proficient in several scriptures.
"Not bad! Okay, you go and practice, and if there's anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me. The abbot finally said this.
"Thank you, Abbot!" Zhu Chongba was still thinking about how to meet the abbot in the future, but now this problem no longer exists, and he left happily.
The abbot looked at the back of Zhu Chongba leaving happily, and he was still thinking about his dream, was it him? But the abbot then shook his head again, and then closed his eyes again.
With the care of the abbot, Zhu Chongba was very excited, he could finally carry out the reform justifiably, although Zhu Chongba was a little too optimistic, but if you want to do something, such a spirit is essential.
"Xiaobao!" Zhu Chongba took Xiaobao and began to investigate around the temple.
