Chang'an, Great Mercy and Grace Temple, West Courtyard Shed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Da Ci En Temple is the temple of Master Xuanzang, Master Xuanzang set up a rule, in the west courtyard of the temple to open up some sheds, for the homeless to stay overnight, to live in the homeless, that is, blind streams, regardless of life experience, even if it is a fugitive, you can come to the west courtyard shed to stay, but there are two requirements, first, you must leave the temple at dawn, second, no noise.
The shed in the west courtyard is actually a relief house, a large house that can accommodate seventy or eighty people, with straw mats on the ground, and all the people who stay in the house lie on the ground, regardless of whether they are high or low.
Chang'an is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and there are not many blind streams. In normal times, there are about a dozen people living in the shed, and one-third of the floor is always idle. The blind streams send people under the fence, but they also know the rules, and they rest in peace and have nothing to do with each other.
In the past half month, the number of overnight stayers has increased suddenly, almost every day.
There are many people and few shops, and there are often people who compete for bunks, and they speak badly to each other, and they add fists and feet. It's the middle of the night, and there's no peace.
Last night, the shed burst again, the shed squeezed into two or three hundred people, even under the eaves, also lying horizontally and vertically full of people, a night of noisy, until the fourth watch, the head of the shed finally couldn't bear it, with a dozen gang head monks rushed into the shed, even beating and scolding, the shed was quiet. It's just that there are many people, and it's summer, and more than 200 blind streams are crowded in the shed, and the feet are smelly, the smell of fart and sweat is blended, and it is really a mixed taste, and the stench is unpleasant.
But it was quiet for less than an hour, and before dawn, the head of the shed rushed into the shed with the head monk and shouted: "Get up, get up!" All out! ”
The blind stream made noise all night, just closed his eyes, and had not slept refreshed, but was woken up by the head, and his heart was angry, but he saw that the group of head monks were all fierce and vicious, and the blind stream moved a little slower, that is, he split his head and covered his head with a fist and kick, and the blind stream saw that the group of head monks came fiercely, and did not dare to disobey, so they had to reluctantly get up.
Only under the windowsill on the west wall of the shed lay a young man, who was dressed in a white robe, with a white complexion, no more than twenty years old, and a black cloth burden on his pillow, who turned a deaf ear to the shouts of the head monk, and lay on the straw mat and fell asleep.
The head of the shed walked up to the young man, pointed the young man's head on tiptoe, and shouted, "Dog is still sleeping, get out of here!" ”
The young man opened his eyes, stretched, and said impatiently: "It's only been five watches, and it's called mourning!" ”
A well-behaved blind stream next to him hurriedly said, "It's Lord Tangatou, be careful when you speak." ”
The young man let out a long yawn: "The first few officials in the shed are embarrassed to call themselves adults!" ”
Daci'en Temple is the first temple in Chang'an, there are more than 1,000 monks, below the abbot, four major class heads, five halls, eight deacons, 36 guest halls, 72 monk heads, and many monks. Although this shed head is also regarded as a monk, it is really not a role in the Great Ci'en Temple, not to mention the abbot master on weekdays, it is difficult to meet a deacon. However, in this shed in the west courtyard, the head of the shed has absolute authority, the reason is very simple, whether he can enter the shed for the night or not, it is up to him to decide, if he annoys him, he will be driven out and not said, and he will be beaten violently. Therefore, the blind streams in the hut all called him a master.
"The rules of the West Courtyard, enter the hospital at the right time, rest at the right time, get up at the right time, and sleep at the right time." The young man rubbed his eyelids, turned around, closed his eyes, and lay down on the mat again.
What the young people said is indeed the rule of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and the Great Mercy and Grace Temple does not leave lay guests during the day. Blind streamers who stay in the hut must get up and leave the hospital at the hour and be admitted to the hospital before dark, that is, at night.
The blind stream didn't sleep enough, but the head of the shed was fierce, and they didn't dare to contradict it, and when they saw the young man talking about the rules, they took the lead and couldn't get up, and they also lay down one after another.
The head of the shed in this west courtyard, has always been a word, no one dares to contradict him, now by this young man troubled, the blind flow of his words as the wind in his ears, followed the young man to lie on the bed, the head of the shed suddenly felt a big loss of face, the heart was angry, flew up, kicked the young man's head.
The young man saw that the shed head kicked over without a head, and subconsciously separated the burden pillow under his head, only to hear a muffled sound of "pounce", and the shed head kicked on the burden, and then screamed, holding his feet, and fell to the ground, with a big green bag at his ankle, either broken or broken.
The blind people saw the head of the shed fall to the ground, in pain, and no one knew what was going on, but they saw the head of the shed kicking the young man, but they suffered a great loss. I don't know what spell the young man had. It's just that the blind people were oppressed by the shed head on weekdays, and now they were driven up before dawn, and they hated the shed head in their hearts, and saw that the shed head suffered a loss in the hands of the young people, and they were relieved, and they didn't dare to show it on their faces, and they all stood by and watched, and none of them came to help the shed head.
The head of the shed sat on the ground with his feet crossed, and screamed in a loud voice: "Someone! This dog dared to beat the head of the shed, dragged me out and beat me, ouch, it hurt me to death......"
A group of monks rushed towards them viciously, and the young man knew that he was in trouble, so he picked up his baggage and ran. The shed was originally crowded, the blind streams were lying or standing, crowding the shed, the young people ran in front, the head monk chased behind, a mess of bumps, the people in the shed fell crookedly, crying dad and shouting mother, suddenly chaos.
The young people are well-behaved, see the stitches, scurrying in the blind group, the blind people see that the young people are angry for them, deliberately do not give way to the head monk, and even take advantage of the chaos to play black boxing, tripping, the head monk did not catch the young man, but was tripped seven or eight, shouting, falling, mixed with the screams of the head of the shed, messy, so lively.
was in the confusion, and suddenly heard a loud shout at the door: "Stop it for the Buddha!" ”
I saw a fat monk standing at the door, with a big belly, a pair of ringed eyes and angry eyes, and his face was full of anxiety.
The shed was quiet, and the blind monks stood in place, staring at the monk blankly, not daring to come out.
This fat monk is a law enforcement monk of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, who is responsible for the precepts of the temple and is one of the eight deacons of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple. Empty regret has a violent temperament, but the law is just and strict, and he does not show favoritism, and if the monks in the temple commit crimes in his hands, there will be no good fruit to eat. The people in the temple may not know the abbot, but there is no one who does not know empty regret.
The head of the shed hurriedly struggled to get up, and limped to the fat monk: "Master of Empty Repentance......"
"Master bullshit!" Empty regret burst into tears: "It's going to be the fifth watch, you dog thing is still noisy here, you missed a big event, the Buddha pulled your skin!" ”
The empty remorse is impetuous, and he speaks viciously, but he even scolds his own.
The head of the shed trembled for a while, and I didn't know whether it was scared or hurt: "Master, the little one is about to clean up the shed, but there is a guy who doesn't know how to lift......"
"Buddha, I see that you are the guy who doesn't know how to lift!" Empty regret interrupted the head of the shed to plead, and shouted to the blind streamers: "Listen." The Prime Minister is about to come to the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and all the idle people are avoided! You are limited to leave in a quarter of an hour, if you collide with the prime minister, even if you step on the shit luck, the prime minister will not cure your crimes, and I will not spare you! ”
After saying nothing, he turned his head and glared at the shed: "And you, even this little errand can't be done!" Hurry up and clean the shed, if there is any other errand pool, you will roll the Buddha to the vegetable garden to pick up dung! ”
Say goodbye, turn around and leave.
No wonder the shack in the west courtyard broke the rules today, and people were going to be driven out before dawn, it turned out that Yang Guozhong, the prime minister of the dynasty, wanted to come to the Great Ci'en Temple!
That Yang Guozhong is the first powerful minister of the imperial court, on weekdays, he is the house slave who collided with the Yang family, and there is no good fruit to eat, if he hits Yang Guozhong's hands, wouldn't he be worried about his life! The blind stream knows that it is powerful, who dares to stay in the shed! Everyone hurriedly got up and hurried out the door.
The young man followed the blind stream, walked to the side of the shed, and made a grimace: "Lord shed, offended!" The prime minister is almost here, and the little one has to avoid it quickly and apologize another day. As he spoke, he carried his baggage, mixed in the blind stream, and went out of the room.
The head of the shed was about to catch up, but his feet were painful, and he couldn't walk, so he had to shout at the young man's back: "Boy, Lao Tzu knows you!" Your dog's name is Bu Yunfei, and you set up a stall under the west wall outside the temple! Don't fall into the hands of Lao Tzu, you kid! ”
