Chapter 25: Apprenticeship

"Ah Yue's little donor is here, these two must be Ah Yue's little donor's parents, right? Hello two, the little monk's Dharma number is clear, please go in with the little monk, the master has finished the morning class, and is waiting for you in the hall. The little monk said as he led the way.

"Thank you, little master of the clear space." The husband and wife hurriedly thanked him, and Tang Yuehua's father immediately took out a small bag of things from the pick and handed it to Jingkong, "Little Master Jingkong, this is a little snack from our farmer's house, I hope it will suit your appetite." ”

"No, no." Clearance waved to refuse.

Ah Yue's father immediately stepped forward and stuffed the bag of things into Jingkong's hand, "Little Master Jingkong, this is our own work, it's not worth much, you can do it, in the future, Ah Yue will worship Master Kongming as a gentleman, and it can be regarded as your junior sister, and I will ask you a lot in the future." ”

Then, the little monk accepted it, thanks to the two donors. Amitabha Buddha thanked him and recited the Buddha's name.

A few people came to the hall next to the main hall, and the clear space was still the same as last time, standing outside the courtyard wall, and did not go in, "Master is already inside, you can go in." ”

"Thank you Master Jingkong for leading the way, Haruka, let's take out the things." As he spoke, he put down the pick and lifted the bamboo basket from the sack.

The cylindrical bamboo bamboo is to split the outer layer of the bamboo, divide it into fine and uniform bamboo strips of about two millimeters, and then polish it carefully to make it smooth and shiny, and then weave it into a cylindrical shape ten centimeters high, the bottom is a round wooden plank, and the upper and lower are clamped with polished two-finger-wide wooden strips to increase its stability, generally there are three layers, the back of the cover is arched upward, like a shallow melon skin to take out the things inside, and the handle of the bamboo flute is made of wood, and some are made of bamboo.

Obviously, this bamboo stick on their forehead has been around for some years, and it is already pitch black and shiny, and there is a layer of black lacquer on the outside. The bamboo sticks contained some of the things they were going to give to the gentleman.

Tang Yuehua followed them into the low-key hall, the furnishings inside were still the same as last time, Master Kong Ming was still meditating on the couch, he opened his eyes when he heard the voice, and looked at the person in front of him indifferently, as if he was more amiable than the last time he saw him, is it because he was in a better mood today?

"Here you are, please be seated." Master Kongming's calm voice revealed a trace of joy, it sounded like he was in a good mood, but he didn't expect that the master of the cliff bank would also have a day to earth.

"Master Kongming, Amitabha." They folded their hands and recited a Dharma name to the master, which is the best greeting in the Buddhist family Amitabha Buddha, which is very common in this world where Buddhism is prevalent.

The bell outside the hall began to ring, and the clear space went to the hut and began to prepare to make tea, as soon as the application utensils were complete, the tea was sent to the hall after the tea was cleared, and he was about to withdraw, "Clear space, stay." Master Kong Ming spoke.

"Yes, Master." Clearance replied respectfully, and stood aside with the tray.

"Master, this is the apprenticeship ceremony we have prepared...... Ah Yue's father just spoke, and when he saw Master Kong Ming's brows frowning, he immediately continued, "Because the master asked Mr. Zhang last time not to prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony, the two of us prepared some home-made snacks, and some Ah Yue also made them together, which can be regarded as her filial piety to Mr. ”

"Yes, bye." Master Kong Ming turned her gaze to Tang Yuehua, she got up, knelt in front of Master Kong Ming respectfully, kowtowed three times, and Tang Yuehua, who was about to get up, heard another "Worship." She continued to kowtow three more times, "Worship the saint." Master Kong Ming corrected.

She raised her head and looked at her freshly baked teacher, and looked in the direction of her finger, it turned out that there was a portrait of Confucius hanging on the right hand side of the entrance door. Do the disciples of the monks still worship Confucian sages?

Master Kong Ming was already one step ahead of her, and walked to the portrait of Confucius with a solemn expression. Turning to look at her, there was a small low table in front of the portrait, on which there was a small incense burner, she stood up and followed the master, picked up the three small dark incense sticks on the table, looked at the master, Jingkong came over from the side, took out the fire fold in his arms and blew it, the flame jumped out from above, Tang Yuehua lit the incense in his hand on this fire fold, respectfully worshiped Confucius, and inserted the incense.

"Your law name is Hui'an, and you will also be a lay child of Shaolin in the future, and Jingkong is your senior brother." Master Kong Ming even gave her a legal name, he is so big that he still has to recognize a child as a senior brother, saying what kind of sect he is now, it is Buddhism and Confucianism, the locals still believe in God, and the others are not clear, at least their family is also going to worship the god of the stove, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are all alive, plus the identity of their own doctor, it is really a bit lively!

"Hello Senior Brother Clearance!" Multiple senior brothers and many roads, Tang Yuehua thought so in her heart.

"Okay, Hui'an's Dharma name and apprenticeship don't need to be known to outsiders, in the future, when there is an even number every month, Hui'an needs to go to class in the temple and be vegetarian in the morning." As he spoke, he walked to the couch, picked up the pastries on the low table and tasted them, and then ate all the pastries in his hand, "Not bad." "I went in the direction of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Master Kongming's praise aroused the curiosity of Jingkong, what kind of pastry can make the master praise, I don't know if it's because of the little sister, or because of the pastry, I want to taste it for a while.

Tang Yuehua's parents smiled with satisfaction when they heard the master's praise, just be satisfied, be satisfied.

Following behind her parents, she walked at the back, obviously they were all going to listen to the scriptures, and when they reached the courtyard wall, Ah Yue's father lifted the remaining half of the pick, which contained incense candles and some melons and fruits and other offerings.

After listening to the scriptures, the parents went back, and they also met several women from the village, as well as Gua Wazi, who was rescued by her last time, and they also came today.

"Chunxiang, you also come to burn incense today, I went to your house with our family, I originally wanted to call you together, but I didn't expect you to be so early, last time thanks to your family Ah Yue, if it weren't for her, we would ...... the baby, in short, I must thank her this time." The plump aunt thanked excitedly, in fact, they had already thanked them last time, but the grace of saving lives was too important to them.

"Sister-in-law, don't say that, Ah Yue is just a coincidence, this is also how it should be, no matter who it is, I will give it a try." Ah Yue's mother replied.

As he spoke, Master Kongming over there had already finished dressing, and they hurriedly stepped forward, burned incense and light wax, and then listened to the scriptures, but what was the matter with that kid's eyes?
