Chapter 22: I Think I'll Always Be Alone

"Cut!" Liu Yuanzhi thought disdainfully, buddy is not you, buddy is so old, and he has a son, and he still wants to play with you with cats?

"Let's go...... Little Master, take us to have a look. Liu Ming didn't want to hurt Fakong's heart, and pretended to be interested and said.

"Good!" Fakong's face was full of excitement, "These two wild cats are the ones I met outside...... I'll tell you......"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, take us to see it." Liu Yuanzhi was a little impatient, he just wanted to deal with Fakong earlier, so that he could eat and sleep.

Fakong's spirit became very good, and he jumped up and down to lead the way. He led a few people to a wide courtyard and said, "You wait a while, and I'll let the big and small flowers come over in a while." ”

Liu Yuanzhi had nothing to do in the courtyard, and sighed: "This courtyard is quite clean. ”

Suddenly, his expression changed, his ears pricked up, and he seemed to hear some terrible soundβ€”something that made him feel unusually menacing......

"Not good!" Liu Yuanzhi shouted.

As he spoke, a gust of wind swept up in the courtyard, sending out the low roar of a beast, and the sound waves were bursting, making the scalps of several people in the temple tingle.

Two white-fronted tigers with hanging tendons came out of nowhere, jumped in the courtyard, and the tiger's tail swept like a nine-section whip, and suddenly broke a large vat in the courtyard. The two pairs of eyes looked at Liu Ming's father and son with hostility, and a low pant sound came from their noses.

Liu Yuanzhi complained bitterly: "It's over, son, it must be that the temple gate was not closed just now, which attracted the tigers in the mountains." ”

Seeing this scene, Liu Ming and Su Shi were also pale.

The two tigers looked at Liu Ming and Liu Yuanzhi prostrately, ready to jump up and pounce at any moment.

"Don't be rude!" A child's voice reprimanded in the courtyard. The little monk stared at the two tigers and suddenly flashed between the two tigers, and Liu Ming didn't have time for him to come out of nowhere.

It is also strange to say that the two roaring tigers, when they saw Fakong, not only did they not bite, but instead put away their claws, closed their tiger mouths, lowered their heads and prostrated on the ground, and let out obedient whimpering.

"You two are obedient, I will take you up the mountain to catch jackals tonight, and let you have a big meal." Fakong stretched out his hand and touched the tiger's head, and said lightly.

Liu Ming felt as if he had entered the script, and felt a little incredible. The combat effectiveness of these two white-eyed tigers naturally does not need to be said, if they fight with people, I am afraid that four or five strong men are not their opponents, but today, they are obedient to this little monk.

"They are all my friends and benefactors. With the money donated by these two donors, the backyard of the temple can be renovated, and the master can buy a better urn, you know? Fakong pointed to the two tigers lying on the ground and taught word by word.

"Okay, now go over and give them a hug and let them feel your love."

When a tiger heard the command, his forelimbs were raised, and his hind limbs were forced, as if he was walking upright, Liu Yuanzhi only felt that a large piece of the sunlight was suddenly blocked, and before he could react, he smelled a fishy smell, and his shoulders were grabbed by the tiger and forced into the corner.

"Don't be afraid, donor, it's courting you. It's called Little Flower and it's female. Fakong put his hands behind his head and said happily.

That Liu Yuanzhi was forced into a corner by the tiger, his face was licked by the burr tiger tongue, only to feel a hot flow under the stall, yellow liquid seeping out of the trouser tube, he forced a happy face to the tiger who was in close contact with him and said: "This ...... Mother...... Little lady, men and women don't kiss, our family has already appreciated your enthusiasm. ”

The lick of this tigress left an extremely deep impression on Liu Yuanzhi. For a long time to come, whenever a female maid approached him a little, the latter would let out a scream and run away.

This Fakong, who has grown up on the mountain since he was a child, will understand that this tiger is a beast that the people under the mountain talk about. It took Liu Ming and the others a lot of effort to get him to put the two tigers back in the cage.

Liu Ming seemed to think of something at this time, and asked: "Fakong, there is one thing I didn't understand just now, I see that this Lindao Temple has a courtyard with eight entrances, and it is also a big temple, although it is old, but it is very clean. The wooden chairs for the table are dust-free. What's going on? ”

"What's going on?" Fakong's big eyes twitched and flashed.

"I mean, how do you have the money to hire someone to clean the temple?" Liu Ming added.

Fakong was stunned for a moment and said, "Donor, this is what I cleaned myself." It takes two hours a day. ”

Liu Ming's face changed slightly, and he looked around, such a large temple, even if seven or eight monks cleaned it, it would take half a day. This law is empty, alone, and it only takes half an hour?

He thought of the two tigers who were so subservient to this little monk, and thought to himself that this little monk was really not easy to martial arts. Could it be the descendant of the sweeping monk in the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon?

After nightfall, Fakong was busy cooking on the fire. Smoke curls in the stove room. After a vegetarian meal, Fakong invited Liu Ming and a few others to visit his wing.

The wing room is very simple, the doors and windows are dilapidated, the interior walls are peeling, and there is a table, a chair and a bed.

Fakong dug in the wooden box for a long time, and finally found a short candle the length of his index finger, and happily rubbed the flint with a fire sickle and lit it.

Liu Yuanzhi was frightened by the tiger just now, and he had a lot of resentment towards Fakong, but when he saw this child's penance residence, he also felt a little embarrassed, and felt the pain of this monk's practice. The World-Honored Shakyamuni practiced penance for several years, and went to extinction between the two trees of the city of Sura, and attained enlightenment. And Fakong is at this ignorant age, but he adheres to the idea of being a master and guards this deep mansion compound alone.

Morning bells and dusk drums, chanting Buddha day and night. The white horse passes through the gap, and the flowers are picked up.

A picture flashed in Liu Yuanzhi's mind - at dusk, a little monk was alone sweeping the floor and cooking in the temple, striking the bell and ringing the bowl.

Thinking of this, Liu Yuanzhi's nose was sour, and he patted Fakong's shoulder, "Little Master, our grievances are over." "When I met those two tigers, I just thought I was unlucky.

Fakong raised his head and smiled cutely: "What grievances? ”

Liu Ming quietly pulled Dad and Su Shi aside and discussed them quietly.

The three of them all thought that it was too pitiful for this little monk to stay alone in this temple. Xiao Rou of his age, although she is a maid, she also grew up in a deep mansion compound, and some people love her.

"Dad, Brother Su, I want Fakong to go to Beijing with us. The Great Xiangguo Temple in Bianjing, the great monks are like clouds, if you bring Fakong there, you will definitely be able to take good care of it. Liu Ming proposed.

The Song Dynasty was known as the palace of the old Buddha all over the world, with more than 1,000 large counties and no less than dozens of small towns. This large Xiangguo Temple, which is quite revered by the royal family, has been expanded many times, and is the largest temple in the capital. If Fakong can worship the Buddha in this temple and study sincerely, I am afraid that it will be much more promising than here.

This proposal was immediately supported by Su Shi and Liu Yuanzhi. They were all a little relieved that such a little person was alone in the temple. The three of them suddenly had the idea of persuading Fakong to go down the mountain.

"Fakong, aren't you alone?" Liu Ming looked at this little point, his face was stunned, even if the law and air taming the tiger are skillful and the physical strength is endless, it is difficult to defeat loneliness. It is easy to recite the Buddha for one day, but it is difficult to recite the sutra for the rest of your life. When Liu Ming traveled to Tibet in his previous life, he admired the monks in the small temples in the mountains, especially the ones with only one person.

"You're not alone...... Master taught me to read and write, and I have a lot of little picture books to read. Fakong pointed to the bookcase beside him.

Liu Ming took out two books at random, but his pupils shrunk, and he was shocked by the title of the book, what "Luohan Boxing", "Plum Blossom Boxing", "Dharma Heart Sutra", "Eighteen Bronze Arrays", the illustrations were explained, he showed these books to Liu Yuanzhi, and by the way, he gave a look.

Feelings: This little monk is a genius martial artist.

Although this Fakong is only seven or eight years old, his physical strength is amazing, and one person can sweep the entire monastery without half a day. Although he did not show his martial arts, he could judge from the appearance of the two tigers that he was obedient to him, and this little monk had special skills. What's more, people regard these Shaolin boxing cheats of the Zangjing Pavilion as small picture books, and the accumulation of martial arts is also quite deep.

It's really a real person who doesn't show up.

Liu Ming pulled his father to his side and whispered, "Dad, we must find a way to send this Fakong to the Great Xiangguo Temple."

"Dad thinks so, too." Liu Yuanzhi nodded violently. When he saw such a cute and clever little bit, he had long been in love.

He turned around and said with a smile on his face, "Little Master...... Fakong ...... Xiao Kongkong......" Liu Yuanzhi began to put on a meaty approach, "Xiao Kongkong, go, I'll show my hands in the evening and cook a few dishes for you to eat." ”

The mountain is damp and cold, and the clear light of the night spills down from the corner of the temple corridor, and the moist air is like magnificent amber in the air.

In the kitchen of Lindao Temple, it is steaming. Fires were lit on both stoves. Liu Yuanzhi was turning the spoon and was very busy.

Fakong ran around the kitchen, helping to light firewood and fetch spices, and seemed to be very happy.

Liu Ming walked to the stove and said with a smile: "Dad, you will still please people." ”

Liu Yuanzhi said while stir-frying, "It's not either. I'm a big fan of this kid. He looks like a tiger, and he is kind and cute. He turned his head to look at Liu Ming, "That's right, Ming'er." Do you want another brother? Let's adopt Fakong. ”

Liu Ming almost slipped and fell to the ground. My father's love is overflowing. He held the corner of the stove and said, "Dad, let's discuss this matter for a long time." Let's persuade Fakong to go down the mountain first. ”

In the meditation room, there is a low table and several square stools. Four vegetarian dishes and one soup.

Fakong sat on the bench, his legs swinging back and forth, and giggled happily, "Uncle Donor is so good, so good." ”

Liu Ming was very moved when he saw Fakong's happy appearance. Thinking of such a little baby, alone in the monastery, busy cooking and cooking by himself every day, watching the sunset and dawn alone in the deep mountains, pity suddenly rose. He took a chopstick of vegetables and gave it to Fakong, "Empty, eat more." ”

Fakong looked at the bowl of rice in front of him and swallowed: "How much rice have you cooked?" ”

Liu Yuanzhi pointed to the pot and said, "Don't worry, I made the amount of four people." Enough to eat. ”

Fakong poked his finger embarrassedly and said, "I usually eat and cook two pots of rice." ”

"What?" Liu Ming put down the dishes and chopsticks.

Fakong blushed: "Didn't you eat like this?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Just make two more pots. Liu Yuanzhi hahaha, "Empty, don't be embarrassed." In fact, our meal is also one person and one pot. This is normal. ”

"Oh......" Fakong had a relieved expression on his face, and then he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dishes.

Liu Ming and Liu Yuanzhi glanced at each other and said, "Empty, you live in the mountains, are you lonely?" ”

(Fakong: Amitabha, Kongkong solemnly asks for collection and recommendation.) οΌ‰
