Chapter 554: White Lotus (Medium)
Things that don't conform to the common things of the world always happen under the common things.
Master Lingzhi also smiled and said, "Amitabha, I was supposed to eat fasting and recite the Buddha, if I ask again, it is not what the strong man wants." ”
The lotus also smiled and replied: "Master, like this, why don't you recruit that Xu Datong into the temple, the master wants to drive Xu Datong out of the temple, isn't it disdainful?"
The Lingzhi Master smiled wildly at the sky: "I am not crazy, but now I am crazy." "That is, let the lotus chop wood and cook rice, sweep the floor and do laundry. Lotus is willing to take it, there are some things she is willing to, and some things she is unwilling to be forced to.
Longyang Temple is also a big temple in Luoyang, the incense is prosperous, and it is not easy for the lotus to do those ordinary chores, but the little lotus has a power, and it is difficult for her to do these mixed things.
Every time the Lingzhi Master saw the lotus flower like this, he often stroked his palm and said, "Very good, very good." ”
Although Xu Datong was not in the temple, he still inquired about Lotus's every move in the temple through various channels, and heard that the usually pampered little palace maid could do those chores in the temple safely, and he was very puzzled.
The days passed day by day, the lotus lived peacefully in the Longyang Temple, and when there was nothing to do, the temperament was really like the Buddha descending from the general Antai, and the whole body exuded a peaceful atmosphere, which could not be found in mortals.
Lotus could no longer feel the shock on the Lingzhi Master's body, and when he looked at the Lingzhi Master again, he only felt a feeling emanating from the dead wood's body that he couldn't explain.
-- It turns out that the length of time and the level of cultivation are not so simple.
-- Everyone has their own cultivation, but everyone doesn't know it.
-- It is even more difficult to understand the cultivation of others.
Lotus offered to go to the back mountain to meditate, there is a small room in the back mountain, it is a place that ordinary monks cannot reach, to enter the hall of the back mountain, the abbot needs to agree. Although the Lingzhi Master is not an abbot, he has the prestige and power of an abbot.
The lotus flower then entered the back mountain, from cleaning and chopping wood and carrying water to the back mountain inner hall to concentrate on reading the Buddhist scriptures.
Buddhism is boundless, and it seems to have a principle of change.
Since the lotus flower entered the inner hall of the back mountain, he looked at the Buddhist scriptures and did not know day and night, and the madness that others said on his body was weakening, coupled with the beautiful scenery of the back mountain, the air was fresh, and it was really a good place to cultivate his nature.
Although it is not intentional, the intention is hidden in it. There are mysteries in the Buddhist scriptures that Lotus sees, and those who need them have a very high level of understanding in order to see through the mysteries on the surface and learn the inner martial arts.
Houshan Inner Hall has a collection of 100,000 books, and I don't know what year or month it will take to read them all.
When Lotus first read the Buddhist scriptures, for the purpose of reading them quickly, she didn't want to feel that although she knew a lot, it was all superficial, and she didn't know how many years it would take to understand the inner meaning from the surface.
Lianhua doesn't want to read like this, but although he is extremely talented, it is not so easy to crack a reading system for a while, not to mention these Buddhist scriptures and martial arts that are very mysterious in the world.
Lotus thought about this, but unconsciously found that she had been in this Houshan Inner Hall for half a year, thinking that she had learned Bai Youba's "Nine Turns of Death Knife" in a year, and she had only realized these truths in the inner hall for half a year. How can I be called a genius, I can't help but feel this discouragement in my heart.
In fact, with such a high talent as a lotus, he is already a genius, and if ordinary people have the opportunity to enter this Houshan Cave, they are not all ecstatic, intoxicated, and they can't wait to stay in it for the rest of their lives.
Who can get out of it?
Lotus was puzzled for a while, and then she was annoyed again, and this night she was alone on the side of the mountain looking at the moon, and suddenly remembered her brother who had studied hard with her.
A line of clear tears flowed down the lotus face.
She has not shed a tear since she tore up all the books and five scriptures.
Now that these tears are revealed with true feelings, he can't help but ask himself what he is for. What the hell is it for.
Under the moonlight, there seemed to be a figure, and the lotus approached, but saw a girl standing in front of her, her age and beauty.
Lotus was shocked, she would only be shocked when she encountered two possibilities, one was that she had the power hidden deep in the spirit master, and the girl she didn't notice at all within this year.
Although they are the same two kinds of deep hidden, they are all different, and the deep hidden of the spiritual master is a kind of unattainable deep hidden; But this girl is a feeling that is almost non-existent.
"Could it be a ghost?" Lotus was secretly frightened.
The girl smiled: "If I am a ghost, what nonsense do I have with you, just eat you." ”
Lotus smiled: "It is said that female ghosts love to deceive men's hearts, first deceive people with beauty and then eat people, I think you are either a human or a female ghost." ”
The girl shook her head, looked at the moonlight, and said, "Do you know this is here?" Although it is the back mountain of your Longyang Temple, it is also the back mountain of my Cining Nunnery. ”
The lotus looked at the girl, and the girl looked at the lotus.
"Is it a nun?" With that, both of them laughed.
Lotus has not traveled in this back mountain in the inner hall for a year, and I don't know that this back mountain is also the back mountain of Cining Nunnery.
The girl's original name was Yu Ni, and she was the daughter of a poor family in Luoyang, but she was optimistic by nature, although her life was hard, she still faced it with a smile, and never complained about it. Just because he came to Cining Nunnery, it was to pray for his mother's blessing.
It is said that the Bodhisattva of Cining Nunnery is very effective, and for female pilgrims, going to Cining Nunnery is like kneeling to see Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Yu Ni also came to worship the Bodhisattva in the nunnery, and when the master saw that she had such a kind heart, she begged for it, raised her by her side, and wanted to accept her as a closed disciple, and when her mother was well, she would be shaved and officially converted to Buddhism.
"So, I'm really going to be a nun, donor." Yu Ni pursed her lips and smiled softly.
Lianhua looked at the girl in front of her, she didn't smile, after listening to Yu Ni's words, she couldn't laugh, but somehow when she saw this girl, she felt that the life of the monk was really boring.
Maybe it's really human nature.
Maybe people like Xu Datong also have the right side.
Yu Ni is sincere to the Buddha, but when she says that, she is happy. But Lotus sounded bitter in her heart, but Lotus was deeply touched in her heart.
Lotus listened to Yu Ni's words and was silent for a long time, which was unusual.
After Yu Ni knew the name of the lotus, she praised and sighed, saying that the woman took this name because of the Buddha's fate, no wonder you can enter Longyang Temple.
Could it be that I entered Longyang Temple, but it was a blessing of my name.
Yu Ni said with a smile: "Do you know that when you came to this back mountain, you entered the forbidden land of the Buddha, and ordinary people have no chance to enter, but only those who have a relationship with the Buddha can enter." The inner hall is not accessible to ordinary people......"
Yu Ni's master has already made the matter of Buddhism clear to Yu Ni, unlike Master Lingzhi who never talks to Lotus about Buddhism, that is, there is a back mountain in the temple or Lotus carrying water to find it. However, according to Yu Ni's words, she really belongs to the person who is related to the Buddha.
"Am I really right to become a monk?" Lotus smiled self-deprecatingly, he had long forgotten what purpose he had come to become a monk in the first place.
Lotus thought to herself: Oh, yes, it's a good trick, but now, what is he going to do well. Old...... Thief, old ...... Master, why is he so accurate, it really seems that he has understood me.
At this time, Lianhua no longer scolded the old scholar as an old thief, but respected the old master again, and why, he didn't know in his heart.
Yu Ni is also a person who is destined for the Buddha, and it turns out that the back mountain of the Lotus Nunnery and the back mountain of Longyang Temple are connected together.
It's just that because it is a forbidden place for Buddhism, everyone is not allowed to enter casually.
Yu Ni seems to have played all over the mountains and rivers of the back mountain, and saw the candle flame in the inner hall of Longyang Temple every night, and saw the lotus flower reading hard in the inner hall, and never disturbed.
