After the catastrophe of Shaolin Temple, it has been nearly half a month, and the thieves have gradually receded around the Shaolin Temple.

Several nearby villages were ransacked by thieves. The danger of the thieves crossing the border is far worse than that of the locusts, not only the food is gone, the houses are burned, and many villagers also die under the butcher's knife of the thieves.

At present, the people of several nearby villages have gathered in the Shaolin Temple for refuge.

Buddhism Pudu, Pusheng abbot although there is no ability, but is a real compassionate heart of the monks, for the people who lost their homes and fields, he arranged for the monks to shelter, and ordered the monks to provide food and clothing, take care of them, and give medicine to the sick and injured.

It's just that in the Shaolin Temple, there are many people, but they feel a little crowded, although the monks are tired, but everyone is finally glad that the Shaolin Temple is still there, at least there is a mouthful of food to eat.

Abbot Pusheng saw this scene, on the one hand, he couldn't help but feel compassion and pity, but on the other hand, he was glad that Shaolin Temple survived.

Abbot Pusheng and several elders are still discussing in the abbot's house, discussing the matter of spring plowing after the thieves next year.

In fact, the thieves have been ravaging in Chongyang County for nearly half a month, and after the imperial court sent troops to suppress the thieves once, they left in a hurry, and there were no garrisons.

In this way, next year's spring ploughing has become a big problem, how to follow the spring ploughing, how to keep the pure land of this Shaomu Mountain in the midst of this thief's attack, this has become a problem for Pusheng and several elders.

After going through this difficulty, the elders also knew how to be flexible, and they no longer thought that letting the monks practice was delaying their practice. There is no place for life to practice, there is no ability to protect the temple, how can I defend the Dharma and purify all sentient beings.

"Our monastery selects 100 young and strong monks to practice sticks to resist the invasion of the homeless."

Pu Sheng's words were immediately approved by all the elders.

An elder said: "I think Tan Zong is good, he can teach his disciples sticks, of course, junior brother, the unity of Zen and martial arts you mentioned before is also essential." ”

Pu Sheng nodded and said: "What the senior brother said is very true, the unity of Zen and martial arts is also to let the disciples practice the stick and not forget the heart of compassion. ”

Seeing Pusheng say this, all the monks said yes.

"It's just," Pusheng frowned and said, "It's just that if you are defending against thieves and fighting on the battlefield, there must be someone to dispatch, and we are now lacking such talents, and you also know that night, the thieves went up the mountain, and the monks of this temple scattered in a hurry, and no one commanded and dispatched, which is a dereliction of duty on my junior brother, and I really have no ability to command!" ”

Hearing Pu Sheng say this, all the monks spoke comfortingly. Suddenly, a monk said: "Senior abbot, if there is no such talent in this temple, it is better to be recruited from outside, what do you think?" ”

Pu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Senior brother, there must be a good candidate." ”

"Yes, this candidate is actually Senior Brother Abbot, and he has already known it in his heart." The monk smiled slightly.

Pu Sheng shook his head and said: "Actually, I have also tried this person's style, but he has really rejected it tactfully, I think this person is young, but he has a splendid chest and a green ambition, and I don't think it is a thing in the pool." ”

The monk on the side said: "Senior brother, whether he has the ambition of Qingyun or not, we will eventually persuade each other, this person has made great contributions to the temple, if he can stay and take responsibility, it will be the best." ”

"Exactly, exactly." Pusheng nodded, but he showed a contemplative look.

Soon after, Li Chongjiu heard that it was the abbot who called him, and immediately came to the main hall of the temple.

Li Chongjiu thought that Pu Sheng was invited to summon him, but he didn't expect that this time it was such a big battle, not only Pu Sheng even a few old monks of the same age as him, but also came forward together, and there were seven or eight monks sitting on the mattress in front of him.

Li Chongjiu knew a little bit in his heart at the moment, but his face was very respectful and polite, and after bowing to the monks, he sat down on the mattress.

When the monks saw Li Chongjiu so polite, they all had a good impression of this person at the moment.

After sitting down, Pusheng first greeted Li Chongjiu, first asked Li Chongjiu if he had any habits of life in the temple in the past half a month, and finally cut to the point.

Pu Sheng said: "Li Jushi, I see that you have a very wise root for the Buddha, why don't you be ordained and become a monk?" ”

If it really came, although he had expected it, Li Chongjiu had no intention of baldness and becoming a monk.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu said: "Thank you Master Abbot for your kindness, but I am the only son in the family, and my father has strictly ordered me to marry and have children within a few years, so I am afraid that there is no reason for the empty door." ”

Hearing Li Chongjiu's refusal, Pusheng and the others were greatly disappointed.

However, at this time, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, Li Chongjiu is the only son in the family, and he has not yet married a wife, if he is allowed to become a monk, it is really unreasonable.

But there are always a few monks who are still unwilling, and they have a discussion with Li Chongjiu at the moment, but Li Chongjiu is very decided. The monks were unwilling to let Li Chongjiu go down the mountain, but unfortunately Li Chongjiu was unwilling to be a monk, which was a dilemma.

At the moment, Pusheng still knows how to be flexible, and he said: "In this way, Li Jushi is willing to stay in my Shaomu Mountain temporarily, but he is not willing to be ordained and become a monk. ”

Li Chongjiu nodded at the moment and said, "Master Abbot, I also have the heart to be close to the Dharma, but my father's life is like heaven. ”

Pu Sheng nodded and said, "In that case, the old monk has a compromise solution. ”

"Master Abbot, please." Li Chongjiu said.

Abbot Pusheng smiled and said, "Li Jushi can still be a disciple of my Shaolin Temple, but he does not need to take the ten precepts of novices, nor does he need to take the bhikshu precepts in the future, and he can also keep his hair, but only need to receive the five precepts at home (Note 1). ”

An old monk with white eyebrows on the side frowned and said: "The abbot's junior brother is not subject to the novice ordination, and he is not subject to the full ordination, that is, he is not considered a monk, how can I have a disciple at home in my Shaolin Temple." ”

Pu Sheng said with a smile: "Buddha to all sentient beings, how can you say that you are a monk at home, as long as you have a heart to be close, you can be regarded as a good disciple of my Buddhism, all senior brothers and brothers, what do you think?" ”

The monks had Li Chongjiu in mind, and they didn't care about what they said about being a monk at home, and they all nodded yes.

Seeing that everyone did not object, Pu Sheng looked at Li Chongjiu with a slight smile and said, "What does Li Jushi think? Are you willing to become a disciple of my Shaolin Temple? ”

A lay disciple, that is, a lay disciple as the saying goes, didn't expect that he was the first big disciple in history.

Li Chongjiu suddenly had a feeling of time and space intertwined, and in an instant he seemed to see Wu Song, Yue Wumu, Zhang Sanfeng, Fang Shiyu, and a certain founding general waving to him.

Li Chongjiu is a little unbelievable at the moment, whether history has changed him, or he has changed history.

Hearing Pu Sheng's request again, Li Chongjiu immediately said, "Thank you, Master Abbot." ”

Hearing Li Chongjiu say this, all the monks were satisfied.

At that moment, Pusheng personally recited the five precepts with Li Chongjiu.

This is also quite a privilege, although he is not an official Buddhist disciple, Li Chongjiu does not need to convene the Sangha, nor does he need to be ordained as a monk and Acharya, and he does not need to shave his ordination and take the Dharma name.

However, the abbot monk personally recited the five precepts for Li Chongjiu, which is also an unprecedented thing in Shaolin Temple.

The abbot monk finished reciting the five precepts, what five virtues, six thoughts, and ten counts, that is, it was all based on self-realization.

Note 1: The five precepts are one not to kill, two are not to steal, three are not to commit adultery, four are not to lie, and five are not to drink, also known as the five precepts of laymen.
