Shaolin Temple, in the meditation room of Master Xuanku.

After exploring Mu Xiaojiu's pulse for a long time, Xuan Ku finally sighed faintly: "Master Mu, there are so many negative emotions in your body, it is simply the only one you have seen in the life of a poor monk." Your kung fu is really evil. ”

Mu Xiaojiu smiled indifferently, "No way, I have a wanton temperament, and there are many enemies during this period of walking in the rivers and lakes, no matter whether he is evil or not, it is good kung fu to let me survive." At my point, let alone evil skills, as long as it doesn't violate my bottom line, I will learn all the skills. ”

Mu Xiaojiu said this in front of a senior monk of Shaolin Temple, which was actually appalling enough. changed to a more serious one, but I'm afraid that I will already do it directly at this time. Fortunately, the profound Buddhism of Xuan Bitter Buddhism is profound, so it is easy to understand Mu Xiaojiu's actions.

What's more, because of all the things back then, Xuan Ku can also better understand the pain that he can't help himself.

"Master Mu, the poor monk has three options for you to choose from, would you like to hear it?"

Mu Xiaojiu nodded: "Master Xuanku, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Xuan Ku clasped his hands together, smiled slightly, first led Mu Xiaojiu and Huang Rong to the seats, and then said slowly: "The first method is that Master Mu abolish kung fu and take refuge in my Buddha." Because the negative emotions in the main body of Mu Shi are already deep-rooted, there is no way to completely get rid of these negative emotions by simply abolishing kung fu, and you can only practice the Dharma and spend it day and night. ”

Mu Xiaojiu suddenly laughed dumbly, "Master Xuanku, don't make fun of the kid, even if I am willing to abolish this kung fu, do you think I may be converted to Buddhism?" ”

Xuan Ku nodded, there was no sadness or joy on his face, and his smile was still the same, but there was a look of pity in his eyes, "Okay, then let's talk about the second method." This second method is that you live in Shaolin Temple for three months, chanting, carrying water, chopping wood, and ringing the bell every day. In this way, after three months, you will naturally be able to calm down, although you can't completely eliminate all negative emotions like the first method, but you can successfully make your heart happy and not easily disturbed by negative emotions. ”

This method is feasible, Mu Xiaojiu's heart moved slightly, this method is similar to the life he once lived on Wudang Mountain, but it is just time......

Mu Xiaojiu finally shook his head, what he lacked most now was time. Qiao Feng saw that a big quagmire was forming, it was still a very dangerous kind, although he had arranged countless back hands, but he still couldn't put his mind at ease. Therefore, it is completely impossible for him to stay in the Shaolin Temple for three months.

"Master Xuanku, although the method is good, but I'm really sorry, the kid is most lacking now is time, and when he is free in the future, the kid will inevitably come to bother him, but it's really not good now."

Xuan Ku glanced at Mu Xiaojiu, and then was silent for a while, before he said the third method, "Master Mu's first method is to remove the roots, and the second method is to set the center, but this third method is only a method to treat the symptoms, but according to what you said, this method is the most suitable method for you." ”

Mu Xiaojiu's eyes lit up, "Please also ask Master Xuanku for advice." ”

"The poor monk has a volume of the Diamond Sutra, and often reciting it can make the heart stable, and the external evil will not invade, but the Buddha is difficult and profound, and the wood donor may have to study with me for a few days."

It can only be like this, Mu Xiaojiu knows very well that in the case that he can't accept the first two methods, this is already the best choice. Therefore, he bowed to Xuan Ku again, "Thank you Master Xuan Ku, there will be Master Lao in the past few days." ”

Xuan Ku smiled slightly, people said that the Buddha held flowers and Ka Ye smiled, and it was just like that.

……

After coming out of Master Xuanku's meditation room, Xuanku first sent someone to accompany Mu Xiaojiu to send Huang Rong down the mountain.

Judging from the current situation, Mu Xiaojiu is likely to stay in Shaolin Temple for a few days, so that it is inconvenient for Huang Rong to live in the temple as a woman, and Huang Rong's temperament alone may be difficult to endure the boring life of a few days in the temple.

Therefore, Huang Rong's descent from the mountain was the unanimous result of the discussion between the two people.

After sending Huang Rong down the mountain, the boy monk arranged a guest room for Mu Xiaojiu, and then took Mu Xiaojiu on a tour of the temple.

"Master Mu, go from here, the tower over there is the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, there is a decree from Master Xuanku, you can enter the first floor and read the Buddhist scriptures in the temple, but you can't read the lone book on the second floor, and those martial arts cheats above the second floor." The boy monk said in a milky voice.

Mu Xiaojiu nodded with a smile at the little monk, "Don't worry, I know, by the way, little master, what is your legal name?" ”

Two red clouds rose on the face of the little monk, he grew up in the temple since he was a child, for a long time, in addition to the senior brothers and uncles in the temple, those guests are called him "little guy", "little monk", no one has ever called him a little master, this big brother must be a good person.

Thinking of this, the little monk replied very happily: "Big brother, my Dharma name is Qingyun, Master Xuanku is my ancestor, from tomorrow onwards, Master Zuming and I will take you to practice." ”

Monk Zuming? Mu Xiaojiu's heart moved, wasn't that the monk with extremely high kung fu who carried water when he went up the mountain? Unexpectedly, this little monk Qingyun was actually a disciple of Monk Zuming.

I just don't know if it will be another pair of "Jueyuan" and "Zhang Junbao".

For the whole day of this day, Mu Xiaojiu stayed with the little monk Qingyun, went to have a fast meal together, swept the yard together, cleaned his guest room together, and did evening classes together.

Speaking of which, in the concept of the little monk Qingyun, the beginning of cultivation is to do chores. So all day long, except for Mu Xiaojiu who recited the Diamond Sutra with him during the evening class, Mu Xiaojiu was accompanying the little monk Qingyun to do some sprinkling and sweeping work during the rest of the time.

But Mu Xiaojiu didn't have any objections at all, but did it happily.

And this scene fell completely into the eyes of Xuan Ku and Zu Ming, who had been hiding in the dark to observe the two people.

"Zu Ming, now you can rest assured."

Monk Zu Ming nodded, "Master, I understand what you mean, although this Mu Shi Master has strong negative emotions and has a lot of blood on his hands, he is not a demon, on the contrary, he still has a youthful heart in his heart." ”

Xuan Ku smiled slightly, said a Buddha name, and turned to leave.

Zu Ming looked at Mu Xiaojiu, who had just finished his evening class with the little monk Qingyun and was accompanying Qingyun to watch the sunset outside, and was silent for a long time before leaving.

……

"Brother Mu! Brother Wood! Before Mu Xiaojiu could wake up, he was woken up from his sleep by a milky voice. When he opened his eyes, he happened to see the little monk Qingyun standing beside the bed, stretching out his hand and pushing himself hard.

"Hmm......" Mu Xiaojiu sat up from the bed, glanced at the sky outside that was not yet bright, and asked, "Qingyun, why did you call me so early......

Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's not early, Brother Mu, it's already halfway through, it's time to do morning class, master, he's waiting for us outside, get up soon." While speaking, Qingyun pushed Mu Xiaojiu twice.

"Alright, alright." Mu Xiaojiu lifted the quilt, got up from the bed and began to get dressed.

It's more than halfway through, isn't that four o'clock? Shaolin Temple started to eat at half of the hour, and only started to do morning classes at the end of the hour, why did the master and apprentice get up so early......

After Mu Xiaojiu got dressed, Qingyun directly grabbed Mu Xiaojiu's hand and dragged him to the yard.

In the courtyard, Monk Zu Ming was already waiting, and after seeing the two of them come out, he didn't talk nonsense, and directly threw the two large buckets to Mu Xiaojiu.

"From now on, every morning is this time, first pick up water with me three times, and then start sprinkling and sweeping, and then go to eat when it's time to eat, do morning classes after breakfast, and learn Buddhist scriptures with Qingyun after morning classes. In the afternoon, go to Master Xuanku, he will teach you the Diamond Sutra, and after the evening class, continue to sprinkle and sweep, and then go back to your room to rest. ”

Monk Zu Ming directly sputtered a lot, and then directly picked up the flat burden and walked towards the courtyard, Mu Xiaojiu also noticed that the little monk Qingyun actually picked up the bucket, but it was just a trumpet. But thinking about Qingyun, who is only five years old this year, these two buckets are big enough for him.

Mu Xiaojiu carried the bucket and followed behind Monk Zuming with Qingyun, and then asked softly: "Qingyun, why does Master Zuming use a flat pole to carry water, and the two of us use our hands." ”

Qingyun secretly glanced at his master's back, and then replied in a low voice: "Brother Mu, the master's flat shoulder is specially made, and it is particularly easy to break, which is the master's practice." If you were to carry the flat pole instead, I was afraid that it would break as soon as it hit the shoulder. Uncle Qiao used the flat pole once before, but after only walking a dozen steps, the flat pole broke, and the master said that Uncle Qiao's heart was not calm enough, so he couldn't use the flat pole. ”

Mu Xiaojiu smacked his tongue secretly, he knew that Qingyun didn't need to lie to him because of this kind of thing, so the power of Monk Zu Ming was once again perfectly reflected.

In fact, when he heard the word "carrying water", Mu Xiaojiu had some bad premonitions in his heart.

However, his hunch was not wrong, what Monk Zuming said about carrying water was obviously different from others. The other monks in the temple carry water to the small lake in the back mountain; The monk Zuming carried water, which was to go to a waterfall at the foot of the mountain to carry water.

And the two barrels are not ordinary, although the outside of the barrel is made of wooden boards, but the inside is actually an iron plate. And when receiving water, the monk Zuming did not let Mu Xiaojiu receive water in the pool below the waterfall like Qingyun, but asked Mu Xiaojiu to follow him to the bottom of the waterfall to receive water.

In order to catch the first bucket of water, Mu Xiaojiu fell down more than a dozen times, and this was because Monk Zuming only asked him to catch water at the edge of the waterfall, where the water potential was the smallest.

As for Monk Zuming, he went directly to the place where the water potential was the largest and the most rapid in the entire waterfall, and stood on the stone to receive the water steadily.
