Chapter 232: Buddhist Life

In this way, the three of Mo Keke also began to officially live in Shuiyue Nunnery.

In fact, to be honest, life in Suigetsu-an is good.

Not to mention food and accommodation, three meals a day, and little nuns are sent to the courtyard of the three. Of course, this food must also be vegetarian.

Occasionally, Mrs. Zhu'an will come to play with them during their turns, or take them around around the Suigetsu Nunnery, and tell them some about the history of the Suigetsu Nunnery, or the past of Mrs. Jingci.

That's right, Mrs. Jingci is Zhu'an's master.

According to Zhu'an's own words, she was picked up by her master from a nearby creek. It is estimated that there are still many children from poor families, and they can't support them. So when she saw that it was a girl, she simply put it in a bamboo basket and let her go down the river and resign herself to fate.

It just so happened that Mrs. Jing Ci passed by the river and heard the baby girl crying, so she picked her up and raised her carefully.

And when he said this, Zhu'an's tone was very calm, as if he was telling them that he had eaten a few vegetarian buns in the morning.

It was Mo Keke and the three of them, who felt a little uncomfortable when they heard it, and no one would have thought that the enthusiastic and cheerful Zhu'an would have such a tragic life experience.

However, Zhu An laughed and quipped them: "What are you uncomfortable with? Poor families have a preference for sons over daughters since ancient times. Wouldn't I be countless times better than the baby girls who were strangled to death in swaddling clothes and drowned in the river in the first place.

My master said that this is the virtue of a good life in God, and I, ah, must have done a lot of good things in my previous life to be able to pick up a life in such a thrilling way. Therefore, for the sake of safety and smoothness in the next life, I must continue to accumulate virtue and do good deeds. ”

After listening to others' words, Mo Keke also had to sigh: Mrs. Jingci is really not an ordinary teacher, even if she doesn't say the compassion of her family, she has to talk about the good education that people bring to her children.

Looking at Zhu'an's lively and cheerful appearance now, who would have thought that she was an abandoned baby with a tragic background?

It's just that Mo Keke couldn't hold back his curiosity in the end, so he deliberately found a free time, and asked carefully and seriously: "Then are you willing to be a nun for the next generation?" Don't want to see the outside world? ”

Speaking of which, in fact, Mo Keke is not the only one who is curious, even Bai Qingwan and Sheng Jiaojiao are also very curious.

After all, there seem to be a lot of little nuns like Zhu'an in this Shuiyue Nunnery. They are also really curious, are these little nuns forced to become nuns because they have grown up in the nunnery since they were children, or are they really dedicated to the Buddha and voluntarily become monks?

In this regard, Zhu'an generously explained their doubts and said, "I also asked Master about the matter of becoming a monk, and Master said that I am still young and cannot become a monk yet.

If I want, I can grow my hair at any time and return it to the vulgar at any time. And the master will also come forward to find familiar pilgrims and treat me as a righteous daughter, so that I can marry a good family in the future.

But I think it's good to be a monk, and now I don't really want to grow my hair, and I think it's really troublesome to have to groom and take care of it from time to time.

But in order to officially become a monk, you must be at least forty years old. ”

"Forty?"

Mo Keke couldn't help but exclaim, and said secretly in his heart: Forty years old, most of his life has passed? When that time comes, will anyone really be obsessed with whether or not to become a monk?

And Zhu'an, as if he had seen through what Mo Keke was thinking, said lightly: "My master said that if you become a monk, you have to give up your worldly concerns, but the troubles of Hongchen and your dedication to cultivation are the real monks."

At my age, I should go to the world for a walk, to see the love of the red dust, the troubles of the world, and to experience the love and hatred of the world.

Only when you can afford it can you talk about putting it down. ”

In this way, under the influence of Zhu'an, the three of Mo Keke also admired Mrs. Jingci more and more.

But admiration is admiration, understanding is understanding, this task of concentrating on worshipping the Buddha, but there is no progress at all.

You must know that Mo Keke and their lives are also a month younger, and they either eat fasting and chant Buddha every day, or copy scriptures.

Even occasionally, Mo Keke and the others will take the initiative to help some little nuns who do rough work. After all, most of these little nuns were also picked up by the masters, or sent in directly by their families.

But no matter what it is, their treatment is the same, the younger ones are kept in the deepest courtyard of the Suigetsu Nunnery, which is the closest to the back mountain and the quietest.

Most of the children are here, and the nuns who are in charge of teaching will teach the class. Of course, in these small elementary schools, there will also be some girls from poor families occasionally.

They don't live here, they haven't been abandoned by their families, they just don't have a place to go to school. It just so happens that the school here in Suigetsu Nunnery does not charge money, and even provides a free lunch for children who come to school.

Therefore, even if the distance is a little longer and the journey up the mountain is a little harder, many children are very willing to follow and learn something.

Older children, in addition to basic schoolwork, can be assigned to some basic work. For example, guide the pilgrims who come and go, and pour tea and water for the pilgrims in the backyard. In short, it is some trivial, errand work, which can be regarded as exercising the children's ability to do things.

As for the tedious and tiring errands such as chopping wood, carrying water, and cooking, they are generally done by nuns who have officially become monks.

After all, it's also a practice.

But even if Mo Coco tosses again, there is still no change on the task panel.

For this reason, Mo Keke also specially asked Zhu'an to consult Mrs. Jingci. But in this regard, Mrs. Jingci just said that sincerity is spirituality.

Helpless, Mo Keke can only continue to live. After all, she now has a total of two hidden missions, all of which are stuck on one NPC, Master Jingci.

By the way, about the news of the temple, Mrs. Jingci still refuses to let go. Even recently, the frequency of receiving pilgrims has been reduced. This also shows that the spies of Cheng Sheng's two families have a lot less opportunities to contact Master Jingci.

To be honest, Mo Keke is afraid that one day he will suddenly hear the news that Master Jing Ci is going to retreat. After all, in Mo Keke's cognition, the duration of retreat is not short, at least three or five months, and at most three or five years.

Also, retreat is especially suitable for outdoor masters like Master Jingci.

Therefore, if this is really the case, it is estimated that her whole mentality will completely collapse.

Fortunately, Zhu'an is a caring person, and he often comes over to accompany one or two, and by the way, he will talk about the recent situation of Mrs. Jingci.

Only this time, Zhu'an brought some news that surprised Mo Keke.

"By the way, my master said that the weather has not been normal recently, and it is obviously the time for the cat to be winter, but it has not cooled down, and it has not snowed again. I'm afraid it's not normal, you should be more careful, and prepare more items for the winter, if there is anything not enough, remember to tell me in time. ”
