Chapter 34: Juvenile Feet
readx;
A young monk about ten years old next to the big bluestone is drawing one stroke at a time extremely seriously, dipping a brush in water on the bluestone surface, writing a paragraph of small characters of the scriptures. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although the young monk is not very old, the writing is extremely neat, and it looks as good as an engraving.
The young monk's figure is a little thin, and his clothes with many traces of sewing are already very old. On his feet, he wore a pair of straw sandals that should have been newly knitted. The most eye-catching thing is that the young monk has a pair of lop ears, but he also has the appearance of a blessed person.
"Yaozu, let's stop here today. This Dadu Tanleng Sutra, take it back and read it more. When you come, recite it to me the day after tomorrow. ”
Still continuing on the big bluestone, there are lines of small characters written on the young monk Yaozu. As soon as he heard the words coming from behind him, he hurriedly stopped. And the person who spoke to Yaozu just now also slowly walked from behind Yaozu to his side. Looking at the neat handwriting on the big bluestone, line by line, gradually disappearing, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a satisfied smile, nodded slightly, but didn't say anything.
This man was about thirty-four or five years old, but he was also dressed as a monk. But he has short hair on his head instead of a ring, and although his eyebrows are beautiful, he has a scruffy beard. The complexion is very fair, but with a bit of a sickly color. The body is the same as Yaozu, wearing a shirt with many traces of sewing. The only difference is that the clothes worn by this middle-aged monk are even older than those on Yaozu's body, and they have turned white after being washed, fading the original blue of the clothes in the past.
He also wears a pair of straw sandals on his feet. And it's a pair of old shoes that I don't know how long they've been worn, and they've been broken in many places. A sandalwood rosary is coiled in his left hand, which is being rotated by the middle-aged monk's two fingers.
"Uncle Confession, the scripture you gave me last time..."
After Yaozu stood up, he couldn't help but show a little difficulty. But he was only halfway through what he said, and was interrupted by a middle-aged monk who was standing beside him looking at the big bluestone and gradually disappearing handwriting: "Hmm! The book I gave you a few days ago, plus the one I gave you today, will be memorized to me the day after tomorrow when you come. ”
Yaozu, who originally wanted to say something, finally nodded and responded, "Got it." ”
"Then you can go back today! Come back the day after tomorrow. ”
As the middle-aged monk spoke, he handed an old scripture book from his sleeve to Yaozu. When Yaozu received the scriptures, he first bowed slightly to the scriptures, folded his hands and recited the Buddha's name, which was very respectful, and took the old scriptures with both hands.
I don't know how many times the pages of this book have been turned over, and on the leather surface of the scripture that has turned yellow, there are four characters in the book. As soon as Yaozu took the scriptures, the middle-aged monk turned his head and walked back. Without saying anything to Yaozu, he walked into the courtyard house by himself.
Looking at the figure of the middle-aged monk who disappeared into the house, Yaozu couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart. But it has been since he fought three years ago, starting from when he ordered it for a bag of fruits. He gradually followed this penitent uncle, who was called a strange man by him at the beginning, and learned the scriptures and words.
In the past three years, in addition to learning to read and write, he has also memorized many scriptures. There are so many verses that even he can't even think of them. But as soon as the text he had written down was mentioned even a little, he would immediately remember that it was it. I can't help but think of the rapture, the chapter in the book in which it is written.
It's not that he didn't think of calling Uncle Confess Master. After all, it was Uncle Penitent who taught him to read and write. But Uncle Regret said that it was good, and he didn't need to change his title for the sake of his name. And he also said that he was used to hearing himself call him uncle.
Now he is every two or three days, he will come from the temple to cry this ape. In addition to studying scriptures with Uncle Penitent, he also had to clean the courtyards in the house. When he came next time, it was just the right time, and every ten days and a half months, he would personally remember the day when he came with him.
And in the past three years, I often went to the ape to clean the stream. Naturally, Uncle Busu who cried with the ape, the three senior brothers of Nian Xing, Nian Li, and Nian Yi, became very familiar.
As I studied the scriptures with my penitent uncle, when I chanted the scriptures with my penitent uncle, my stuttering problem gradually disappeared. Remembering that when he first started talking to Uncle Penitent, he said to himself for a long time when he was chanting the scriptures, but none of them were completed, and he didn't even know how he persevered.
And the aunt who often waited for him in the stele forest and gave him eggs to eat...
After putting the old scriptures and books into his arms, Yaozu left the hospital where Uncle Confess was. Before he could walk far from the courtyard of the house, he met Senior Brother Busu who had returned from the jungle. returned with Senior Brother Busu, as well as Senior Brother Nianxing. At this time, on Uncle Shi's shoulder, he was still carrying a very large raccoon dog. I think this raccoon dog is Uncle Busu, the harvest in the forest this afternoon.
"Huh! Yaozu! How?! Is this going back? Hey! Otherwise, don't go back tonight, eat meat here with the Sprinkle family! See? The Sprinkle family is a big guy! It's time to bake it tonight! If you leave now, you won't have this blessing! Gee! Look at the weight of this raccoon dog, it is estimated that there must be a lot of meat! You! Let's stay and eat together! ”
After Bu Su saw Yaozu walking towards him, he said to Yaozu with a smile. Originally, he went to the forest in the morning to look for game, but he found nothing. I can't help but feel that I am back today when I eat at noon! But I didn't expect to enter the forest in the afternoon and meet such a guy! At this time, I returned all the way, and my heart was still full of joy! Isn't? This raccoon dog has a great taste of meat! And it's really not small, if you bake it and eat it, you will definitely get a lot of meat.
"Yes, Senior Brother Yaozu. You can stay and eat together. ”
Seeing that his master persuaded Yaozu to stay, he was helping the master with the stick, and he was also helping on the side.
Yaozu folded his hands together, bowed to Bu Su and Nian Xing and said, "Don't bother Uncle and Senior Brother." I'd better go back. ”
Bu Su laughed, and saw that Yaozu didn't want to stay, so he didn't persuade anymore: "Haha!" Okay! Let's go! But you kid doesn't have that kind of luck! When your kid comes in a few days, there won't be this raccoon dog to eat! ”
Bu Su said as he spoke, and then he carried the raccoon dog on his own and walked in the direction of the house. Nian Xing, who was following Bu Su, also hurriedly followed. However, when he passed by Yaozu's side, he smiled and nodded slightly to say goodbye.
When Yaozu returned to the hospital in the temple, it was already dark. When he walked into the courtyard and saw that his brother had not returned, he made his own fire and cooked. Now, as long as Yaozu comes back earlier than Nianlai, he will cook the dinner this night.
The smoke rose faintly, and after putting the washed grain into the stove, Yaozu, who was sitting in front of the stove, took out the old scripture book from his bosom and gave it to him by Uncle Confess and read it. But before he could take a few more looks, there was a sound of slightly hurried footsteps outside the courtyard, which couldn't help but make him turn his head to look.
It didn't take long for the senior brother to read it, and he appeared in front of the courtyard gate, just on the breathless ground, his red face panting. Seeing the appearance of the senior brother like this, he couldn't help but make Yaozu's heart tighten. But he remembered that not long ago, his senior brother had told him that he would ask the master for him in the near future when he would be able to change his Yao character generation from the outer temple to the one who read the character in this temple.
After all, he has been in the temple for three years and has reached the age of ten. According to the rules of the temple's generation, it can be regarded as the age when it can be officially established and the temple's generation. But in the past three years, except for the one who saw him when he first came, the master in the pure house of this temple, he has not seen him since.
But they have forgotten what the master in this temple looks like. Seeing that the senior brother came back in such a hurry, Yaozu couldn't help but think... Could it be that the senior brother is looking for... Master? My own generation...
After thinking about it, Yao Zu stuffed the old scriptures back into his arms. So he stepped forward in a few steps and came to the senior brother who was still holding on to the courtyard gate, panting and resting, and asked, "Senior brother, who are you?" ....”
"Big, big! Big deal! ”
At this time, the thought still seems to be deposited in excitement. Seeing that the junior brother who walked to his side asked, he shouted excitedly. As he spoke, he reached out and slapped Xia Yaozu's thin shoulder.
Yaozu, who had a pain in his shoulder, was puzzled and said, "Senior brother, what's the big deal?" ”
When I read it, I realized that I was so excited, but I forgot to say why. But when he ran out of breath, he only felt a terrible pain in his ribs and abdomen. So he hunched his waist and kept his hands, and began to slowly knead the sides of the ribs and said: "Temple, the temple wants, wants, wants to open, open the scriptures!" Yes, I'm going to start my menstrual test! Ha ha! You, you know, this, this test, yes, who opened it?! ”
Nian Lai wanted to sell Guanzi to his junior brother Yaozu, but before Yaozu could answer, he rushed to say: "Yes, it's on the waterfall, Master!" Yes, it's Master Puyun, yes, you want to come to our temple to open and open the scriptures! Ha ha! No, I didn't expect that, did you?! Puyun, Master Yun is coming to our temple! ”
"Master Waterfall Cloud?"
Listening to what the senior brother said, Yaozu also muttered to himself. Although he is young now, he still has never forgotten the incident three years ago that took the life of his second uncle and his master who died in the house.
And this highly respected Master Puyun in the sect... It was one of the people who was mentioned in the house back then... And he also learned a lot of things from Uncle Penitential. If this Puyun Master was able to help the second uncle's support, Master Jilian, petition the national teacher. Or if you can help them... Perhaps, the second uncle will not die. Even Master and he should not die in the house.
"Haha! Silly, stupid?! Hey! Don't, don't call you small, kid stupid! Just, even the teacher, the senior brother, me. Just, just when I heard this letter. That, that, too, was shocked! That's, that's it, Master Waterfall! He wants to come to us, our temple, and open the scriptures! And, moreover, this time the test, but, it's extraordinary! ”
Thinking about it is still a little out of breath, but the more I talk about it, the more excited I become.
