The library of a certain university.

Gong Qianbai would come here every day as scheduled, carrying a schoolbag, taking out a book from the shelf, sitting in a fixed position, opening the book, tilting his head and starting to read.

The flurry of movements proved that he did not repeat this movement in a day or two.

It's a pity that he didn't read a book, but the beautiful senior sister Tang Jing sitting on his left.

Dignified, elegant, graceful, pure and flawless......

The most important thing is beauty!

Whether external or internal, Tang Jing is a top-notch existence in the school. There are many beautiful women in this world, but at the same time, there are very few who have both inner beauty.

Therefore, the seats around Tang Jing are basically for the same purpose as Gong Qianbai, and most of the seats are bought with money.

"This classmate! Your book is upside down! ”

A voice sounded across from Gong Qianbai, and everyone followed the man's gaze to Gong Qianbai, and the dozen or so people at the entire table burst into laughter.

Gong Qianbai hurriedly turned the book upside down, but found that everyone was still looking at him and laughing, and took a closer look at the content of the book, NND, it turned out to be a Buddhist scripture!

On the side, Tang Jing sneered and glanced at Gong Qianbai, and instantly became charming.

Gong Qianbai's old face was flushed, and he chased the goddess with this Buddhist scripture, even if he chased it, he would have to become a laughing stock for a lifetime!

Brush the Buddhist scriptures in her arms, and quickly walk back to the bookshelf to change books, the goddess likes Zhang Ailing, and she usually uses Zhang Ailing's novels as a disguise, but today she accidentally took it into a Buddhist scripture......

Alas? That's not right! Literary novels and Buddhist scriptures are not on the same shelf? Who misplaced the sutras?

Gong Qianbai walked to the bookshelf in confusion where he usually took the books, and sure enough, they were all in literary novels, and there were no Buddhist scriptures at all!

Who is so immoral and misplaces the book? Hurt Lao Tzu to make such a big mess!

Because he didn't know where the Buddhist scriptures were placed, Gong Qianbai threw it aside, picked up a book by Zhang Ailing, pretended to open it and walked towards the desk.

"Ouch, I'll go! Hell yes! Why is it still that book? ”

Gong Qianbai screamed nervously, and when he saw that the people reading on both sides were glaring at him, he quickly covered his mouth and walked back.

Sure enough, the place where I had just thrown the sutra was empty.

Put the Buddhist scriptures on the bookshelf again, this time I opened my eyes that can be this Zhang Ailing anthology, open it, and look at the contents, well! That's right! Zhang Ailing's article, now relieved.

Back on the desk, Gong Qianbai put down the book gently, his eyes widened, and he looked unbelievable!

Why is it still that sutra?

No way! No way! I took the anthology of Zhang Ailing, and I never left my hand, it can't be a Buddhist scripture! What's going on? Who's playing tricks on me?

"Yo! Nabs! Sincerely to the Buddha! Holding on to the book and refusing to let go? Hahaha-"

The surroundings thought of teasing again, but Gong Qianbai ignored it, still stunned.

"Ouch, who's shaking the table? Such a lack of morality? ”

"That's not right! Why are all the tables shaking? ”

"Oh no! It's an earthquake! Come on! ”

"Run! An earthquake is coming! ”

The students in the library shouted and ran out, only Gong Qianbai was still sitting there in a daze, and the goddess Tang Jing wanted to turn around and remind him, but he was surrounded by a group of admirers and ran out.

"Boom—"

The library was immediately reduced to a pile of ruins.

……

"Ouch! It hurts me to death! ”

Gong Qianbai rubbed his buttocks, looked at the surroundings, and rubbed his eyes again, thinking that he was confused.

"There are no mountains like this around our school, so why does it look like Duxiu Peak? But Duxiu Peak is in Guilin, thousands of miles away? ”

Gong Qianbai hurriedly looked at other places, and after watching for a long time, he finally figured out one thing:

Not sure if this is Guilin, but it certainly isn't the city he's in! The city is not full of such antique buildings.

"Hey boy!"

Gong Qianbai was in a daze, and suddenly heard someone calling him behind him, and when he turned around, it turned out to be three children, all of whom were about eight or nine years old, all wearing ancient costumes, but the ancient costumes were very old, I don't know how long they had been wearing, and they were looking at him with a smile.

"You're calling me?" Gong Qianbai Gong Qianbai pointed at himself in surprise.

"There's no one else here, of course it's you!" One of the sturdy and tall children said, "You also went to Dayuan Temple to become a monk?" ”

"Daenji? What Daenji? Gong Qianbai asked confusedly.

Three children, you look at me, I look at you, as if very puzzled.

"You don't know about the Great Circle Temple?"

"I don't know! Why should I know about Daenji? ”

"And where are you from? What are you doing here? ”

Hearing the three children ask themselves like this, Gong Qianbai couldn't help but hesitate, because there were enough strange things that happened today, and he didn't know how to explain them.

After thinking about it for a while, in the end, Gong Qianbai still didn't answer their questions, but asked rhetorically, "Do you know where this is?" ”

"Of course I do!" The three children replied affirmatively, "Isn't this the Great Circle Temple?" Today is the triennial day of recruiting monks in Dayuan Temple, and there are many people like us who are here today, all of whom are here to be monks! Alas! We are all children of poor families, and we can't eat enough at home, and it is for our good that my father and mother sent us to be monks, and you can't blame them too much! ”

Hearing the comfort of the child in front of him, Gong Qianbai was stunned again, what do you mean to be as big as us? My brother is over 20 years old, can I compare with you? But there are a lot of evil things today, although he didn't think so, Gong Qianbai still won the battle against himself, but he was almost shocked by himself again.

How did I become a child?

Gong Qianbai looked at his hands, it was clearly a child's hands, and his body was also a child's body, where was he still like yesterday, only the tattered clothes on his body could tell that it was the casual clothes he was wearing this morning.

Isn't it, time and space out of order?

Is the crossing real?

He seems to remember reading a book that explains that time and space are not as simple as we know them, and that time and space intersect with each other in certain coincidental situations, resulting in certain objects being able to travel through time and space, and physicists have confirmed that space is a curved surface. I remember that at that time, I thought it was made up, it was all people's imagination, but I didn't expect it to happen to me.

Dayuanji? Where is Daenji?

What a stranger! Isn't it the history in which I used to be?

"Hey! Why don't you speak? ”

The three children seemed to be quite enthusiastic and had been caring about Gong Qianbai.

"I don't remember where I'm from, or how I got here......"

Gong Qianbai really had no choice but to lie.

Another child, who was a little thinner, suddenly realized: "I know! You must have fled, and your parents can't be found, right? ”

Gong Qianbai was entangled in his heart, but he nodded heavily and agreed.

"Since you can enter the Great Yuan Temple, it's a good opportunity, anyway, you don't have anywhere else to go, it's better to stay and be a monk, at least there is a bowl of rice to eat!"

"Yes! In these years, everyone is very poor, lacking food and clothing, and only the monk is better! ”

The three children began to take turns to persuade Gong Qianbai, who saw that they had good intentions and simply accepted their opinions.

"My name is Gong Qianbai, I am lucky to meet you today, I hope to be friends with you!"

Gong Qianbai habitually stretched out his right hand, but the three children looked at each other and felt inexplicable, not only did they not stretch out their right hand, but put their hands on their chests and arched their hands, and the tall child in the middle said to Gong Qianbai:

"We'd love to be friends with you, too! I really envy you for having a nice name, our name is very casual, my name is Tiezhu! ”

Pointing to the slightly thinner boy on the left, "His name is the hoe!" ”

He pointed to the youngest boy on the right, "His name is Da Niu!" ”

Gong Qianbai arched his hand in front of his chest after learning from them, and he knew the three of them.

At this time, the hoe said again: "The recruitment of monks in the Dayuan Temple will start soon, and we have probably seen it in this temple, so let's hurry up and go to the front!" ”

The other three felt justified and went to the front hall together.

In the process of chatting with the three teenagers, Gong Qianbai confirmed that this place was indeed under the Duxiu Peak in Guilin, and the age was the Great Yuan, which was built by the Mongols, and they did not know what year it was. Guilin is located in the south, and many of them are remnants of the Great Song Dynasty, and their social status is very low, so there are many poor people.

After a short time, when he came to the front hall, Gong Qianbai saw forty or fifty children standing there, an old monk with a white beard and white eyebrows and a robe on the steps was looking at them with a smile, and seven or eight monks in plain robes were standing behind him.

"Who is the old monk in the middle? Do you recognize each other? Gong Qianbai asked Tie Zhu and the three of them in a low voice, and sure enough, they all knew Tie Zhu.

"That is the famous Elder Qiujiang! I've heard that it's amazing, I've read a lot of books, and it's not bad for people, and everyone here calls him Qiujiang Arhat! ”

When it came to Elder Qiujiang, the iron pillar was all adored with a face.

Elder Akie? I still don't know!

No matter what, if you come, you will be safe, and then you will pass the level in front of you first!

At this moment, a great monk shouted to a group of children, "The selection of monks begins!" Everyone lined up and stepped forward one by one to accept Elder Qiujiang's interview, and only after passing the customs could they stay in the temple! Start now! ”

Forty or fifty teenagers in the audience hurriedly lined up in a column and stepped forward to be interviewed by Elder Qiujiang. At this time, the hoe told Gong Qianbai that he had come in the middle of the night last year in order to be in front of the queue for many years, so the chance of being selected was higher; Those like them who came late can only be last in line!

The first boy stepped forward, and Elder Akie asked some questions about where the family was, what the family was like, how many brothers and sisters there were, and so on. The young man answered truthfully, probably because his family was very poor, but he still looked hungry for a while, Elder Qiu Jiang nodded noncommittally, and let the second boy step forward, and the first boy left dejectedly.
