Chapter 54 Selection
readx;
In the silent room, there was only Master Puyun left at this time. It was already afternoon outside the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info. He sat alone in front of the Buddha statue, until Danwu entered from outside the door and slowly walked in front of him, then asked lightly: "All four have been sent back?" ”
Dan Wu folded his hands together, bowed to Master Puyun and said, "Back to Master's words, they have all been sent back." ”
Master Puyun nodded slightly, but he didn't say much and still sat with his eyes closed. But Dan Wu had long been accustomed to it, and seeing that the master no longer paid attention to him, he took care of himself and sat back next to the master.
Today, however, he was really busy. After asking the four people on behalf of the Master in the early morning, it has continued until this afternoon. So much so that he, the master, and the four people who had been sent away after he had finished asking the menstruation, didn't care about having a meal.
During the time when he asked the four of them about the scriptures, the master did not say a word again. When I was constantly asking the four people about the scriptures, I thought about some esoteric scriptures to go further and test the talents of the four people. After asking for so long, it can be regarded as figuring out the skills of the four people in scripture.
Although Nian Li and Nian Xun are both disciples of the Jing Pavilion. But in the scriptures, the recitation of the rites is still a little worse. When the two of them answered their own questions, they were more or less wrong and couldn't answer. And whenever this happens, Bu Jue will answer and supplement the questions that the two of them can't answer or have mistakes, and he will answer them correctly. And Bu Jue is also the only one among them who can answer all the questions he asked. However, although Bu Jue has a deep foundation in scripture, he is not as good as reciting rituals and reciting Xun when interpreting the scriptures. His interpretation is too heavy on the original meaning of the scriptures, but there are not many commentaries on his own thoughts.
Judging from the interpretation of the scriptures, the recitation ceremony and the recitation of Xun are worthy of being disciples of the Jing Pavilion. Although the two of them made mistakes in the scriptures, they were much stronger than Bu Jue in the interpretation of the scriptures. When you can say the original meaning of the scriptures, you can also say some of your own thoughts.
In addition, the foundation of chanting Xun in interpreting the scriptures is better than that of his senior brother. Although Nian Li is a senior brother, his skills are still worse than his junior brother. But... Nian Li's unyielding disposition when asking the scriptures also made him feel that he was also a good disciple.
And again today, to the surprise of Master and himself... The boy named Yaozu. Although there are also questions that he can't answer, as long as he answers, most of them are subtle... It gives people the feeling that it is like a question and answer with a monk who is proficient in scriptures in the sect. If you have to compare him with Bu Jue, Nian Li, and Nian Xun... It's really...
"Master, when the disciple sent them back... I asked someone to make you some vegetable porridge. Would you like to eat some later? ”
After sitting silently for a while, Dan Wu bowed slightly to Master Puyun. Although it was an inquiry, it had already been done in advance.
When Master Puyun heard what he said, he nodded slightly, and only after a while did he say lightly: "I have a heart." ”
It wasn't long after Master Puyun finished speaking. The young monk holding the vermilion lacquer wooden plate walked slowly and respectfully into the Buddhist room. On the vermilion lacquered wooden plate, there is a bowl of porridge steaming lightly hot. When the young monk slowly approached Master Puyun, Dan Wu, who was kneeling beside him, stood up and stepped forward to the young monk in a few steps. From the young monk's hand, he carefully took the vermilion lacquered wooden plate with the porridge. After giving the young monk a look, he returned to the vermilion lacquered wooden plate and returned to Master Puyun.
And the young monk who brought the porridge handed over the vermilion lacquer wooden plate in his hand to Dan Wu. Then he quietly withdrew from the Buddha room.
"Master, the porridge is here. It seems to be a little hot, why don't you eat it cold? ”
After sitting down on his knees again, Dan Wu asked in a whisper and carefully lifted the small white porcelain bowl containing the porridge from the vermilion lacquered wooden plate. As a result, he leaned forward slightly, and put the porridge in front of the master.
Master Puyun nodded silently. Then he suddenly asked the person sitting beside him, "Of the four of them, who do you think is the most suitable?" ”
After listening to the master's question, Dan Wu folded his hands and bowed to him and replied, "Naturally, it's him. Didn't Master have already made up his mind last night when he was reading the scriptures? ”
Master Puyun, who slowly opened his deep eyes, looked at Dan Wu with a smile and then asked, "Who is he you talking about?" I checked the scriptures you brought with me last night, and I didn't tell you who to decide? How did you know that your teacher had made up your mind last night when you read the scriptures? ”
Dan Wu paused slightly, and did not answer the master's question directly. Instead, he asked the master a little tentatively, "Master... Did you really choose him? But he... It's not this Jinlin Hongti Temple, the son of the temple lineage family. The head of the temple of Jinlin Hongti Temple also obviously hopes that the master can accept a disciple of the temple as an apprentice... And Bu Jue is a good disciple of the temple line..."
After listening to Danwu's question, Master Puyun slowly replied after a little silence: "Bu Jue... If I had been ten or twenty years ago. According to Bu Jue's good qualifications, he will definitely be included in the door. But after all, I am not the person I was ten years ago or twenty years ago. Now I choose him, not Bu Jue.
But if he doesn't show up this time... Maybe I can't learn as a teacher in the end, but ten or twenty years ago, I became an apprentice. But maybe they will also receive memorial rites and Nian Xun, and one of them may not be. ”
After Master Puyun finished speaking, he smiled and said to Dan Wu: "You are very slippery!" If you don't answer or say anything for the teacher, you still ask about being a teacher? As he spoke, Master Puyun stretched out his hand, picked up the bowl of porridge in front of him, and slowly took a small bite.
When the master was eating porridge, Danwu folded his hands and bowed down to confess: "Amitabha, what the master said is true. ”
Dan Wu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart as he spoke. Now that the Master has already decided on the candidates to be accepted. Then I was sent by the master for this test, and the errand of the chief reader will be done. There is no need to worry about the busy scriptures that will continue to come out later. But... This time, the master accepted the apprentice, but it was both reasonable and unreasonable.
It stands to reason that the master had already decided on the chosen person as early as last night. But early this morning, the other three candidates who were also named last night were called. Among them, there is the temple disciple Bu Jue who was recommended by the master of the temple.
And the reason why Master did this was not only to ask the person he had chosen in person. It is also a justifiable explanation to Jinlin Hongti Temple. Although the recommendation of the master of the temple is not necessary, with the respect of the master, he can ignore it. But after all, they are both twelve temple families, so it is not easy to refute the face of the main temple master. It was only this morning that when the chosen person was called, the other three were also called.
But even if the other three were called... He also knew that no matter how well those three people performed in today's scripture, he also knew. There is almost no chance that Master can change the candidate he had already set last night.
After all, when the master looked at it last night, when the chosen person answered the scripture paper, he couldn't put it down and nodded silently, and he also saw it in his eyes. It is really rare to be so favored by the master.
It was because of him that he dared to conclude that the master had chosen him to be the disciple of Jinlin Hongti Temple this time. It is precisely because of this that today, when the teacher ordered him to send people to call the four of them separately, he asked his disciples to pick him up.
And in the unreasonable, it is this test, and even the test is omitted directly after the test. Directly on the second day after the meeting, the test takers who were pointed out last night were all called to this Buddhist room to ask about the scriptures in person.
Afraid that the master would disrupt the original rules of the scriptures, he directly summoned the four people on the second day after the meeting to ask the scriptures. It will definitely make everyone in the temple who is very concerned about the master's acceptance of apprentices this time, in addition to being stunned and puzzled, they can't guess why the master is like this. But they didn't know that in fact, the master had already decided to come to this Jinlin Hongti Temple as early as last night.
"Before I came, it was when the pot of bluegrass in the teacher's academy was budding. I wonder if the flowers will bloom after we go back? Still not open? If this year's orchid grass is opened, I am afraid that the teacher will miss the reward. If it doesn't open, it can catch up. ”
As he spoke, Master Puyun looked outside the Buddha and saw a dwarf pine and grass landscape.
And the light realization who was sitting next to Master Puyun, when he heard the master mention it for no reason, the pot of bluegrass that the master loved on weekdays. I knew that the time was approaching. Then, thinking about the matter, he folded his hands and bowed to the master and asked, "When is the master going to call him again?" Accept him as a disciple? ”
"It's early, it's early..."
After taking a bite of the porridge, Master Puyun replied lightly, and continued to enjoy the scenery outside.
"Whew! Call! Call! ”
Yaozu, who was sweating profusely during a sprint, kept panting. As he ran, he looked up from time to time to look at the high sun in the sky. As soon as he walked out of the temple that was originally his status and could not enter. So he told him that he wanted to go back alone. The person who sent him didn't continue to send it.
As the man who had sent him left, he ran to where he should have been this morning. But I couldn't help but look forward to it for a while, wanting to run to the stele forest in the back mountain as soon as possible and see my aunt who I hadn't seen for several days.
I don't know... Did my aunt sleep in the forest without waiting for him...
Thinking of the aunt who was waiting for him in the stele forest at this moment, it was possible that she slept on the cold stone steps again. Yaozu couldn't help but speed up his steps again. But when he ran to the temple gate not far in front of him, he happened to meet two young monks.
Seeing the people coming in front of him, Yao's steps couldn't help but slow. Then he hurriedly leaned to the side to make his debut. In the middle of the way, he folded his hands and saluted the two monks who walked in front of him.
"Hehe~ Have you heard? The fat cook in the stove house is in trouble! ”
