It was nearly ten o'clock when the copying of the scriptures was over, and a few disciples in the inner temple who did not do their homework well during the day were still reciting the scriptures in the meditation room.

The night on the mountain is quiet and deep.

Today was a fine day, the sky was low in winter, and the stars hung in the night sky with the moon.

A few of them had slept when they came back from the mountain, and now they all sat in the courtyard with small benches and watched the stars.

Such a night sky cannot be said to be absent in a big city, but it is also rare.

Several people did not speak, enjoying the rare silence.

"The bright moon sends the winter wind." Wang Ke groaned softly.

Bing Xiaotian rarely did not say anything sarcastic, but shook his head and nodded.

"If only there was wine." Big Dream sighed.

"Are you crazy? This is the Shaolin Temple, it's already very face-saving if you didn't take away our meat, you still want to drink? Li Ziren said.

"Didn't the ancients like to drink when they admired the moon? What a toast invites Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio. Big Dream scratched his head.

"There are five, six, seven, eighty, nine of them, and they are still in the shadows?" Bing Xiaotian sneered, "The wine is gone, but there is still some meat, do you want it?" ”

"Meat?" Su Lin turned over directly, "Yes!" ”

"I want you to be big!" Big Dream slapped Su Lin on the head, and the refreshing voice echoed in the night sky.

"This is in the Shaolin Temple, and I don't want to eat meat outside!" Big Dream reprimanded Su Lin.

Su Lin was a little aggrieved, why can't he eat it last time this time?

"It's okay, it's okay." Bing Xiaotian waved his hand, "Chen Jie already knew that we brought the meat in. ”

"Huh?" Da Meng and Wang Ke looked up at Bing Xiaotian in unison.

"Ah what? Do you think Chen Jie is stupid or the temple is harmonious, and the masters are stupid? Bingxiao was about to talk about the monk, but when he thought that he was now in the monk's nest, he was so frightened that he quickly changed his words.

"Alas!" The two of them sighed in unison, and Bing Xiaotian heard Chen Jie say that he already knew that they brought meat in.

Bing Xiaotian was comfortable.

"There's not much meat, just one serving per person, is there more. Hurry up after eating, quickly pack the bag in a convenient bag and tie it tightly, don't lose the taste. Last time, it was exposed because the smell was smelled by the monk master. ”

Bing Xiaotian opened the backpack under his feet, and took out the few remaining snacks from it.

"Has Xiaomeng been fasting too?" Wang Ke tore open a bag of duck necks and was about to put it in his mouth, when he suddenly remembered this sister who had been forgotten by him for two days.

"She's in the outer temple, and there are people who sell things, so she must be more comfortable than us. Eat yours in peace. ”

"That's right." Wang Ke nodded, and gnawed on the duck's neck with peace of mind.

"Wang Meng has already taken the bus back to school this morning." Chen Jie came from a distance and obviously heard their conversation.

"Brother Jie." The four people except Bing Xiaotian all stood up and subconsciously put the things in their hands behind them.

"It's okay, you can eat." Chen Jie waved his hand, put the cushion in his hand on the ground next to Bing Xiaotian and sat cross-legged.

"Hey, hey."

Embarrassed laughter rang out from the mouths of several people

Come.

"Brother Jie, did Xiaomeng really go back to school?" Wang Ke asked.

"Hmm." Chen Jie nodded, "The guy who picked us up this morning put her on the bus back to school. I guess it's too boring to be alone. ”

"Okay." Wang Ke said helplessly. It's false to say that I don't feel sorry, I haven't thought of her since I hung her in the outer temple for so long, and I haven't gone to see her. Even if she has gone to college, she is just a little girl in her eyes.

"The day after tomorrow is the registration time for the national competition, and the competition will start on the 20th of next month." Chen Jie looked at the stars in the sky and said.

Everyone didn't speak, and they also learned from Chen Jie to look up at the starry sky.

Chen Jie leaned his head on Bing Xiaotian's lap and rubbed twice to find a more comfortable position.

Bing Xiaotian didn't speak, just ate the last chicken leg in his hand by himself.

"The day after tomorrow, my senior brother and I will go down the mountain to sign up, you can rest for a day, and then let's end this journey of mind cultivation as soon as possible, and then return to the arena." Chen Jie said.

"Uh-huh." Several others responded.

"Our team has a short time, a thin foundation, and doesn't have much time to train, so we have to be serious from the play-in tournament, and we can't be like when we played the city competition."

"Uh-huh."

"So, from now on, you have to think of yourself as a player who has been certified by the eSports Department. I'm not going to let you develop on your own as you used to, or to deliberately train yourself in competitions. ”

"Uh-huh."

"From now on, you have to seize every opportunity and time to improve yourself. If we can't break through the play-in round, then our road this year will come to an end. ”

"Uh-huh."

"You're not going to say anything other than uh-huh, are you?" Chen Jie sat up and looked at the other three people.

"Uh-huh." All four of them were eating what they were doing, without raising their heads, not even looking at the stars.

“……”

It turns out that no coquettish person can match food and sleep. After appreciating the stars and the moon and eating the meat in their hands, everyone went back to sleep, leaving Chen Jie alone to lie on the small bench left by everyone and watch the stars.

"Hasn't Yongchen rested yet?" Master Yongyan passed by the small courtyard and saw Chen Jie lying down.

Chen Jie hurriedly got up and gave a Buddha salute to Senior Brother, "Senior Brother." ”

"Your heart is a little messy." Yongyan sat on the small bench, pointed to the small bench next to him and said, "Sit." ”

Chen Jie sat up, "Senior brother, I'm just a little confused and flustered. ”

"Because of your friends?" Yongyan asked.

"Yes and no." Chen Jie said.

"What's the reason for that?" Yongyan asked.

"We started from a new beginning, and I always felt a little unsteady to achieve the goal of many pioneers in the same amount of time." Chen Jie said.

"Haha." Yongyan smiled.

"Do you remember what is recorded in the scriptures, incarnated as a bridge, trampled by others, and experienced five hundred years of wind

Blowing 500 years of sun and 500 years of wind just to wait for a person to walk across the bridge? Yongyan asked Chen Jie.

"It is the patriarch of our monastery, Patriarch Bodhidharma." Chen Jie nodded, "Remember." ”

"Bodhidharma Buddha met a woman before the correction fruit, and he was in love...... "Monk Yongyan retold Chen Jie the story recorded in this Buddhist scripture, although Chen Jie was already familiar with this, but he still listened very carefully.

"Later, Bodhidharma cultivated the Bodhisattva path and became a Buddha, and later established the Shaolin Temple here." Yongyan said.

"Yongchen is stupid, I don't know what Buddha rituals are in the story told by the senior brother." Chen Jie said.

He is very familiar with this story, but he has never thought deeply about the Buddha in the story.

"Bodhidharma wants to become a Buddha, but he wants to see a woman even more, but what he doesn't know is that this is also a cause and effect on his path to Buddhahood."

"You come together for the cause, and for the purpose to be the effect. But there is still some way to go between cause and effect. ”

"Now that you think about it, you have a cause, but is the effect you want really the effect you want?"

"Your confusion and worry is not a path between cause and effect, but you have not thought clearly about whether the effect you want is the effect you think."

"There are three thousand troubles in the world, and only by shaving them can we think more clearly and understand."

Yongyan patted Chen Jie's head with his hand, as if looking at his own child, "You have grown up now, there are more things that you need to understand by yourself, and Senior Brother can't tell you directly like before." It's not early, so let's rest early. ”

"Yes, senior brother." Chen Jie got up and gave a Buddhist salute to Yongyan, "Thank you for your advice." ”

"Haha, I just told you a story." Yongyan got up, laughed twice, and stroked Chen Jie's hair with his hand.

"Since you were a child, your master said that you have Huigen, so he personally accepted you as a disciple. You are now just blinded by troubles, and you can use it on yourself in the same way you taught them. You can't teach others to wipe the mirror, and end up with a layer of dust on your mirror, right? ”

"Yongchen knows." Chen Jie gave the Buddha salute again, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were no longer confused and helpless just now, but as translucent as a mirror, which could be filled with stars.
