Chapter 6: The Monk [New Books for Collection]
Soldier A didn't expect that the monk in this small temple in the mountains would dare to stand up and ruin his good deeds, so he was so angry that he scolded: "Where did the wild monk come from, I don't know how thick the sky is, get out of the way for grandpa!" ”
While speaking, the soldiers behind him pressed over, and everyone surrounded the three layers inside and outside the temple gate, and the blocked water could not be leaked.
The monk was still calm and relaxed, unmoved by the situation in front of him.
"Bring the knife, grandpa, I'll send you back to the west today!"
As he spoke, someone handed him a knife in his hand.
The thief roared, and with all his strength, he slashed at the monk with his sword.
"Bell-" The monk's index and middle fingers together, steadily catching this menacing move.
Everyone suddenly stopped, and they were all surprised.
The thief who took the lead was unwilling, and shouted at everyone: "Brothers, it seems that we have met a demon monk, kill him for the way of heaven!" ”
In an instant, dozens of blades slashed towards the monk.
I saw that the monk crooked his mouth and smiled, standing still, the hands that were in the state of the palm, have changed their gestures, the ring finger and the little finger quickly buckled together, quickly rotated the palms until the palms separated, and then in addition to the index finger and the middle finger are still in a straight state, the other fingers clenched into fists, and quickly pinched a Buddhist handprint, and a Buddha totem phantom shaped like lotus petals appeared in the air.
In an instant, the golden light flashed all around him, the blades had been broken, and the thieves flew out five meters away, and vomited a mouthful of blood after falling to the ground.
The monk saluted with one palm and said leisurely: "My Buddha is merciful, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot." ”
The people were no longer able to fight, so they had to flee.
The monk gently closed the temple door.
"Senior brother, you are so violent, let the master know that he will punish you for chopping wood again." The voice came from inside the temple gate.
The monk gently closed the temple door, shook his head and said, "If you don't say it, how will the master know?" ”
A chubby monk looked at Xia Yue, who had fainted on the ground, and said, "Look at this girl, how strange she is dressed?" ”
The monk thought for a moment, bypassed his brother, and said, "Let's take it back to the temple first!" ”
"Senior brother, I don't dare! This girl who shows her arms and legs is not indecent and incivil. ”
The monk waved his hand helplessly to his junior brother, took off his coat, and was about to put it on Xia Yue, but when he glanced at it inadvertently, his heart trembled, "There are such similar people in the world......
Now that he is a member of Buddhism, he should have six pure roots and unstained worldliness, but when he saw this face, he had vulgar thoughts. I think back to the conversation I had with Master on the day I entered the temple, and now I understand.
"You are not in the dust, and taking refuge in my Buddha is just an escape."
"Master Wuwu, my heart is dead, if I can't take refuge in my Buddha, where should I go?"
"That's it, that's it, how about the old man accepting you as a lay disciple?"
"Thank you, Master, for making it happen."
Although the monk's facial features were delicate and handsome, he was more than eight feet tall, and a robe was enough to wrap Xia Yuetuantuan, and there was not an inch of skin exposed except for his face, so he got up and hugged her and walked towards the backyard of the temple.
The next day, Xia Yue woke up, her muscles were sore, and her stomach was rumbling with hunger.
She stared blankly at everything in front of her, unable to believe that it was all real.
She closed her eyes, opened them again, closed them again, opened them again, and the lone lamp on the table, the monk's robe by the bed, the smell of incense in the air, everything was still the same.
In disbelief, she got up from her bed and rushed out the door, which was a boxy yard.
She continued to run on a rampage, she was going outside, to figure out where she was.
"Female benefactor, are you awake?" She met a young monk.
"Little Master, where is this?"
"Guangying Temple."
"Where does it belong?"
"Nanshan Country."
"What?" Xia Yue asked again in disbelief.
"Nanshan Country."
Xia Yue took a deep breath and said, "Where is the temple gate?" I want to go out and see. ”
"It's all the way west from here." The little monk pointed out the direction with his palm.
"Thank you, little master."
"No thanks, you'd better not ...... this dress" Before the words were finished, Xia Yue had already run away.
The way out was smooth.
Xia Yue stood at the door, with red walls and golden tiles, three mountain gates, and walked a few steps further, looking at the unobstructed mountains in the distance.
"Is it all true? Did I cross over? She asked herself silently in her heart.
She walked listlessly towards the temple.
"Stop!" One of the monks spoke.
"Huh?" Xia Yue looked in the direction where the voice came from, and recognized that the other party was the benefactor who took her life last night.
"Master, thank you for saving your life." Xia Yue folded her hands and bowed respectfully.
The monk said coldly, "Buddhist holy land, can't you walk around dressed like this?" ”
Xia Yue looked down at her clothes and said, "Master, I'm sorry. But I ...... I don't have any other clothes. ”
"Nonsense! I obviously left a set of monk's clothes next to your bed. The monk said with a slight anger.
"Huh?" Xia Yue was embarrassed to answer, paused, and then said, "Then I'll go back and change it now." ”
"Amitabha." The monk performed a one-palm Buddha salute.
"Purr~Gollum~"
Xia Yue's stomach screamed uncontrollably, and she clutched her stomach awkwardly and smiled.
The monk said expressionlessly, "You go and change your clothes first, and wipe the blood off your body." I'll take you to dinner again. ”
"Thank you, Master!" Xia Yue said with her hands folded.
"Female benefactor, please." With that, he made a gesture of invitation.
Xia Yue returned to the squatter where she lived, picked up the monk's robe on the bed and changed into it, the size was just right.
He walked out of the door and asked, "Master, how do you wash?" ”
The monk pointed to the water tank in the courtyard and said, "This is a poplar branch to fetch water here." ”
Xia Yue asked puzzledly, "Yang Zhi?" What is it used for? ”
The monk replied, "Rub your teeth." ”
After a simple wash, Xia Yue came out habitually with her hair draped.
The two of them went to the kitchen, and there was a cage of golden and shiny nest heads at the door, and it was steaming.
The monk went into the kitchen and exchanged a few words with the monk at the head of the meal, came out with a bowl of porridge, walked to the door and took two nests in the cage drawer, and took Xia Yue to the dining hall next door with a large dining table to sit down and eat.
"Is that enough?"
People were hungry and felt that everything was delicious, and Xia Yue said contentedly: "Enough, thank you, master." ”
"That's right, Master! After eating, can you please take me to meet the abbot? ”
The monk frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter with finding the abbot?" ”
"Fortune telling." Xia Yue was blunt.
"The abbot doesn't tell fortunes." The monk said with some annoyance.
"I'm not an ordinary person!" Xia Yue argued.
"What's unusual about you?" The monk didn't take what she said seriously.
In an instant, all the grievances and sorrows of Xia Yue poured into her heart, and the tears full of tears flowed down in an uproar, and these uncontrollable tears, like the water that burst the embankment, were out of control.
The monk looked at the scene in front of him like a sharp knife in his heart, reminding him of the darkest, saddest, and most unwilling days.
