The brook flows, and the birds sing softly

The branches are swaying, and the mountain breeze is blowing

A fenced yard by the brook with four or five thatched huts.

On a wooden bed in a thatched house, Lu Da opened his eyes tiredly, moved his body, but found that his body had been wrapped in a medicinal cloth, and a soft voice came: "Don't move, your injuries are not healed yet." ”

Lu Da followed the voice and saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl sitting next to the bed. Two small eyes, smiling at themselves.

Lu Da asked, "Where is this?" ”

"This is my home, don't you know? You were very badly injured that day, it was me and my grandfather who brought you back from the battlefield, your injuries were so scary, you didn't wake up until now, you know, you can really sleep, you slept for four days and four nights. ”

At this time, an old voice came: "Xian'er." Don't talk nonsense, he was unconscious. ”

Lu Da struggled to sit up and said to the old man, "Thank you, old man, for saving your life." ”

The old man said: "What do you thank the military master, you are working hard to protect our people, and we should save you, what is your name." ”

Lu Dadao: "I don't have a name, because I am the eldest son at home, so everyone calls me Lu Da, and that's what I have been called since I was a child." Old man, how did I get here? ”

Xian'er interjected: "That day, I went out with my grandfather and came back, and I happened to pass by there, and you were lying in the pile of dead people, so scary." At that time, we had already walked over, and suddenly a few crows flew in, jumping around there, and heard the crows calling, I looked back and found that you suddenly moved, so I beckoned grandpa to go over, and grandpa touched his chest and found that you were still angry, so we got you back, you don't know, you are so heavy, it took me and grandpa two hours to get you back. ”

Lu Da said: "The old man has tired you. How do you call you old? ”

The old man said, "Call me Kimber." ”

Xian'er said innocently: "Grandpa, that's not good, call you Kimber, I'm not a generation younger than him, you still call grandpa like me." I think you're not a few years older than me. ”

Lu Da said: "I'm eighteen, just call grandpa like you." ”

Old man Jin touched his beard with his hand and said happily: "Okay, good, okay, then call grandpa." ”

Xian'er clapped her hands happily and said, "It's okay now, I have a brother." ”

Old man Jin said, "Xian'er, hurry up and bring the rice." Your big brother Lu must be hungry. ”

During the meal, the old man Jin said: "Young man, you are not lightly injured this time, there are more than a dozen knife and gun wounds on your body, thanks to his old man who rescued you, he pulled you back from Hades." ”

Lu Da asked with some surprise: "Didn't you save me?" ”

Old man Jin said: "We just got you back from the battlefield, but we have no medical treatment and no medicine how to save it, and the person who treated your injuries and saved your life was the old monk Faran." ”

Lu Da asked: "He is there, I have to thank him in person for saving his life." ”

Old man Jin pointed to the mountains outside and said, "He is in this deep mountain and old forest, wait until you are healed before going." ”

Xian'er said: "That monk is a master of the world, and he has a great background. ”

Lu Da asked, "What is the origin?" ”

Xian'er said while comparing the paintings: "That old monk beard, yes! Even his eyebrows are white and long, let me guess, to say the least, he is one hundred and fifty or sixty years old, and no one knows where he came from, everyone says that he is Yang Wulang. ”

Lu Da asked, "That Yang Wulang?" ”

Xian'er chuckled: "You are so stupid, there is still that Yang Wulang in this world, it is Yang Wulang among the Yang generals in the previous dynasty!" ”

Lu Dadao: "How is this possible?" Is it really Yang Goro? ”

Old man Jin said: "Everyone said so, but the monk himself never said that he was Yang Wulang, maybe he had seen through the red dust and was tired of the world." ”

Xian'er said affirmatively: "I think that old monk is Yang Wulang." ”

Lu Dadao: "How can you be sure that he is Yang Wulang." ”

Xian'er took it for granted and said: "Of course it's Yang Wulang, can ordinary people live that old?" And the old monk is old and powerful. ”

Old man Jin interrupted the strings and said, "Okay, okay, let's talk about it today, your big brother Lu's injury is not healed yet, you can't talk too much, it's time to rest." ”

Xian'er said noisily: "Grandpa, no one comes to our house all year round, and no one talks to me, so you can't let us talk a little longer." ”

Lu Dadao: "Grandpa, I'm not tired." Lying down is also lying down, let's talk a little more. ”

Old man Jin said to Xian'er: "I've spoiled you, okay, since your brother Lu is not tired, you can talk as long as you like." ”

Time passes, time is like an arrow.

In a blink of an eye, Lu Da has been recuperating here for more than a hundred days, and the season has shifted from summer to early autumn.

After more than 100 days of treatment and cultivation, Lu Da's body has recovered as before.

After breakfast that day, Lu Da said to Old Man Jin: "Grandpa, my injury has healed, today I want to go to the mountains to thank the old monk Xie Faran." Thank you for saving his life. ”

Old man Jin said: "There is still no need to go, he doesn't want to repay the favor when he saves people." ”

Lu Da said: "That's not good, he doesn't want to repay the kindness of the old man, but I can't know the grace of not thanking, the grace of receiving a drop of water, when the spring reciprocates, not to mention the grace of saving lives and rebuilding." ”

Old man Jin said, "Okay, then let's go." ”

Lu Dadao: "Lin Shen Road is far away, so I won't work grandpa, or you tell me the way, I'll go by myself." ”

Old man Jin said: "Okay, he is a master of the world, he doesn't like people to disturb, you go out and keep going west, there is a path into the mountain, follow the path, keep going down, come to a place with a big pine tree, there is a hermitage, is the place where the old monk practiced." ”

Xian'er rushed out and said, "Big brother, you have to come back after thanking the old monk." ”

Lu Dalian nodded and said, "Definitely, I will definitely come back." ”

Deep in the forest, there is a large pine tree that stands tall and independent, and there is a small hermitage under the pine tree.

Far away, Lu Da heard a burst of rhythmic and crisp beating, as if it was a bell, and as if it was the sound of a wooden fish, accompanied by this crisp beating sound came a loud Buddha name: "Amitabha, Amitabha......"

Lu Da came to the front of the hermitage, knelt down in front of the door, slammed his head three times, and then straightened up and knelt there, after a long time, the voice of the Buddha stopped, and then a deep voice said: "Donor, please go back." ”

Lu Dadao: "Master, can you show up as soon as the Buddha body appears, let Lu Da bow." ”

The old monk said: "A little thing is not enough to worry about, not to mention that the Buddha has a word to save a life is better than a seventh-level floating slaughter." ”

Lu Da said sincerely: "Master is merciful, let me see it." ”

The old monk was silent for a while and said, "Amitabha, it seems that you and I are destined, please enter the nunnery and talk about it." ”

Lu Daodao: "Thank you, Master." He stood up, bowed and walked into the hermitage.

I saw a portrait of Manjushri Bodhisattva hanging on the south wall of the hermitage, and a futon was placed under the portrait, and an iron wooden fish weighing 100 catties was placed next to the futon, and a hammer was also made of iron next to the wooden fish. In the corner of the wall there is also an iron rod with eyebrow height and thick black and shiny arms.

The old monk pointed to the futon and said, "Donor, please sit down." ”

Lu Dadao: "Boy, thank the master for saving his life." As he spoke, he knelt on his knees. The old monk stretched out his hand and stroked it gently, and Lu Da suddenly felt a powerful force and held himself up lightly.

The old monk said: "Didn't you kneel at the door just now, don't be vulgar anymore." ”

Lu Da stood up, knelt on the futon, and bowed three times to the portrait of Manjushri before sitting cross-legged on the futon. The old monk saw all this in his eyes, and the twisted beard smiled slightly.

The old monk asked Lu Daodao: "I went to the battlefield to see it, why are there only dozens of you facing the army of the Western Xia Kingdom?" ”

Lu Da said: "We went to escort grain and grass, and when we came back, we encountered an ambush. I hate that I am not good at martial arts and failed to protect my brothers. Tears flowed down his cheeks.

The old monk said: "This can't be blamed on you, Xixia is a tiger and wolf soldier, you have thirty people, resisted more than 300 people, and suddenly encountered an ambush, and killed more than a dozen enemies, which is already very remarkable." ”

Lu Dadao: "Master, is it true that Grandpa Jin said that you are the general of the Yang family?" ”

The old monk said: "The Yang family has already moved over time, whether it is true or false, there are always endless disputes in the world." The king's territory was divided, and it was the common people who suffered, the generals were crowned kings, and the soldiers shed blood. ”

Lu Da said: "Then we can't let foreigners bully our own people." ”

The old monk said: "What foreign and internal races, they are all flesh and blood creatures!" ”

The old monk said: "The red dust is chaotic, and it is difficult for the world to get rid of the vulgar net." You don't understand, you don't understand. ”

Lu Dadao: "Master, I don't understand, but I know who should be killed and who should not be killed." ”

The old monk said: "Who is the one who should be killed, who is not the one who should be killed, how can you and I be able to say it?" Lu Dadao: "It's always right to subdue demons." ”

The old monk said: "Who is the devil in the world today?" Who is the Word? ”

Lu Da was embarrassed and scratched his scalp and said: "This ......" Lu Dabai was puzzled, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't know how to answer the old monk, at this time he felt that the old monk was so profound, and so wise, he suddenly had an idea in his heart, so he stood up and knelt in front of the old monk and said: "Master, you accept me as an apprentice." ”

The old monk excused himself and said, "Donor, please get up, I don't care about the world for a long time." Besides, what virtue do I have, how dare I take you as a disciple? ”

Lu Da pleaded sincerely: "Master, please accept me." ”

The old monk didn't say anything more, just closed his eyes, twisted the Buddha beads in his hands, and sat up, Lu Da didn't dare to speak anymore, knelt there silently, and looked at the old monk who was like a Buddha statue......

After about a pillar of incense, the old monk yawned and suddenly opened his eyes and said, "It's still coming, it seems that the fate is still over, Amitabha." Get up. ”

Lu Da said inexplicably: "Your old man agreed." ”

The old monk didn't speak, just nodded.

Lu Da happily snapped his head three times in a row and said, "Thank you, Master." ”

The old monk said: "I will accept your apprentice, but there is one thing, you can't say that I am your master in front of outsiders." ”

Lu Dalian nodded repeatedly: "I don't say it, I don't say it." ”

The old monk said again: "The apprentice has accepted it, but your name has to be changed, Lu Da is just a rank." ”

Lu Da said honestly: "Everything is up to the master. ”

The old monk bowed his head and pondered for a moment and said: "I think I will take a big homonym, called Luda, and I don't seek the righteousness of Wenda." ”

After hearing this, Luda knelt on the ground again and thanked, "Thank you, Master, for giving me a name." ”

The old monk said, "Get up." It's getting late today, and besides, your injury is just right, and it's not easy to get tired, so let's rest early today. ”
