Master Hongyi expected that this village aunt must be a big family with a thousand catties, and she had an unbearable love history, and now she is very attentive and enlightened.

He couldn't help but feel sorry for the village girl's earnest words and the education of reading at the moment.

The Venerable Master then said: "The Buddha and the Tao are connected, and since the female benefactor is a sincere refuge, the poor monk will give you a lay Dharma name, called Ciyi Layman?" ”

The village aunt was overjoyed, knelt down at the moment, and even claimed that Master Xie gave the number.

The master got a few chrysanthemum seedlings from the village girl, planted them in front of the hermitage, took care of them every day, and served them carefully, hoping that the flowers would come early to enjoy the chrysanthemums.

From spring to summer, Master Hongyi stayed in Jingfeng Temple for five months, and at the invitation of Chengtian Temple in Quanzhou, he wanted to teach the precepts.

When the master was leaving, it was late autumn, and the disciple Guangyi introduced a woman in green clothes to meet him. The mage took a closer look, it was the Hui'an girl who met in front of the entrance of the Li Xian Temple in the spring, because of the chrysanthemum acquaintance, he was given the name Ciyi layman, and now he has made the costume of a monk.

Ciyi bowed deeply and said: "The disciple wants to seek the way from afar, and I heard that the master will leave Jingfeng Temple in the next two days, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to see each other in the future. ”

It turned out that Ciyi had already scheduled a big wedding in the autumn of this year, but bad news came a month ago, and her fiancé unfortunately fell ill and died.

She was originally separated from her parents, and her family lived alone to reflect, but now she has no worries, so she said goodbye to her relatives, saying that she wanted to go to the hometown of Lao Tzu in Wuyang, and turned to Huainan Bagong Mountain, and then intended to go to the Taoist Temple of the Queen Mother of Snow Mountain and officially entered the Tao.

"Kindness is not rewarded!" Master Hongyi shook his head and said to Ciyi, "The foolish monk and you are attached to the chrysanthemum, and there are a few words of parting, how about Quan Zuo's heartfelt words to your heart of seeking the Tao?" ”

"What the Master says, be engraved in your heart!" Ciyi bent down.

"You listen," but seeing Master Hongyi's detached demeanor, he pondered for a moment, and then stroked his beard to the chrysanthemum that had not yet budded: "I am here to plant, and I am not blooming." Is there no good color, leave it for future generations to come? ”

Ciyi suddenly came to her senses, bowed to Master Hongyi one after another, and thanked him repeatedly for this enlightenment. When she was about to go down the mountain, Master Hongyi took a pen from the hermitage and gave it to her in the middle of the book "Farewell" as an eternal memory.

……

Xiong Jiandong had already guessed that the crane-haired and childish face in front of him, like a female Taoist who was born out of nowhere, must be the Ciyi real person mentioned by Old Aman before dinner last night, but he didn't expect that she had been crossed the line by Master Hongyi, and the relationship between the two was quite deep, and they both had great achievements on the road of Buddhist cultivation.

"Generally speaking, there are only two layers of flashy life in the world. A layer of material life is about fine clothes and food, honor and wealth; The second-level ideological life is about spiritual desires and emotional enjoyment. In addition to such worldly glory and love, Master Hongyi also has an extra layer of soul life, which is to take refuge in the Dharma and purify the Buddha. ”

At the end, Daoist Ciyi used this short epilogue to express her sincere and sincere respect for Master Hongyi.

Xiong Jiandong looked at the inscription "Farewell" in the middle hall on the wall again, and sighed again in his heart.

He thought that Master Hongyi was born in a wealthy family, not only participated in the revolution against the feudal imperial system, but also engaged in social education, and poetry, calligraphy and painting were all refined, and later became a generation of monks.

——In terms of Hua Nianping's previous state of mind, thinking of the country's society and the people, he respected Sun Yat-sen's idea of "the world is for the public"; At the expense of changing the old world, he respected the sacrificial spirit of Lin Juemin, Fang Zhimin, and Yang Jingyu; In terms of beliefs and aspirations, he revered the theoretical ideals of the organization.

If it is personal life and academic cultivation, in Hua Nianping's original cowardly nature, there are two people who have been set by him as an example for the end, one is Qu Qiubai, the early leader of the organization, who is a glorious example of calmly living and dying for the sake of faith. The other is Master Hongyi, who is suave and wealthy, but still sees through the world of red dust-

When he thought of this, Xiong Jiandong was actually in the fairy trail Taoist temple of the Queen Mother Pool of the Snow Mountain, and he felt that the world in his heart suddenly opened, and he had a feeling of crossing the border in life, accepting orders according to fate, and suddenly living alive.

At this moment, Miao Xin came to the Yi'an Hall early in the morning to make a pilgrimage to the master and knelt in front of the Ciyi seat.

"Miaoxin has visited Shitai!"

"Immeasurable!" Ciyi was surprised, "Why did you make such a big gift early in the morning?" ”

"The disciple has had, please punish the master?" Miao Xin said.

"What's the only way? Get up and speak. Ciyi said.

"Miao Xin welcomed a donor yesterday evening, because the queen mother's birthday is approaching, there are many guests from all over the world, and the original guest rooms in the Taoist temple are full. Miaoxin had no choice but to invite the ** squatter room in Guanli to arrange for her to move in without the permission of the master. So there were! ”

Miao Xin is based on facts.

"Who's the benefactor?" Ciyi glanced at Xiong Jiandong, and did not show any blame for Miaoxin, but asked with a smile, "Could it be this honored guest in front of Kun Dao!" ”

"Exactly!" Miaoxin got up and beckoned to Xiong Jiandong, "No wonder I can't see Brother Xiong in the room, I was invited to the Yi'an Hall by the master early in the morning." ”

"I sneaked in myself," Xiong Jiandong said, "Fortunately, Mrs. Shi not only didn't blame, but also gave a lot of advice!" ”

"Brother Xiong doesn't know that this Yi'an Hall is a forbidden place for the master to retreat and cultivate himself and realize the Tao, even the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple are not allowed to enter at will." Miao Xin said happily, "Master is actually very kind and allows you to sit next to her old man." ”

"Kun Dao saw that this Mr. Xiong was good-looking and knowledgeable, so he should be treated as a distinguished guest." Ciyi said to Miaoxin, "It's just that I see that his face is haggard and his blood is insufficient, and you asked me for a gold band-plaster late last night, which is also to heal him." ”

"Master's discernment!" Miao Xin couldn't help but be impressed.

"Thank you for the good medicine!" Xiong Jiandong also hurriedly thanked Ciyi,

"However, Kun Dao saw that Mr. Xiong seemed to be exhausted physically and mentally for many days, this secret gold band-aid ointment is only a temporary treatment for your pain, if you want to recover as soon as possible, it will take a period of time to carefully recuperate" Ciyi said to Xiong Jiandong, "There are thousand-year-old snow lotus treasures in the Taoist temple, you might as well let Miao Xin take it and stew it for you." ”

When Miao Xin heard this, she was immediately overjoyed, and promised to Ciyi that she was going to quit and go to get the thousand-year-old snow lotus. Xiong Jiandong was even more grateful, and thanked Master Ciyi repeatedly.

But Ciyi stopped Miaoxin again.

"I wonder what else the master commands?" Miao Xin asked.

"You have left the Taoist temple for several days, saying that you will go down the mountain to find the customs and customs of southern Xinjiang. Kun Dao remembered that he had paid attention to you, and paid close attention to the news of your Huichang Aid Teacher and nephew's group to see if he really did a lot of unethical things as you said earlier. I wonder what you're looking for? ”

Ciyi asked Miaoxin.

Miao Xin glanced at Xiong Jiandong and stopped talking.

"Don't treat Mr. Xiong as an outsider, it's okay for you to say it!" Ciyi said.

"Dare to ask Master, how long has it been since I met my nephew named Hui Changyuan?" Miao Xin asked.

"It's going to be three years!" Ciyi replied.

"When I saw my nephew, did he wear a hood with gold trim? I heard that this hood is the beloved thing of the second senior sister Miaoyu. Miao Xin said.

"Hugh is talking nonsense!" Ciyi said sharply, "Since you know that the gold-edged hood is unique to your second senior sister, and it is hand-sewn with extremely precious green velvet for your teacher, and Miaoyu has been feathered for many years, how dare Huichang's disciple Sun add himself at will." ”

The word feather is the Taoist name for the death of the apostle, and Xiong Jiandong seems to have heard of it.

"The disciple naturally knows that the master personally sewed a green velvet hood for Senior Sister Miaoyu back then."

Miao Xin said uneasily: "But don't hide it from the master, the disciple heard at the bottom of the mountain that my nephew Hui Changyuan, who has been the sect master of the Shangling God Sect, has indeed taken this treasure left by Senior Sister Miaoyu after the feather of Miaoyu as his own, and made it a certificate for him to come out of Taoism and confuse the believers." ”

"The difference between Miao Xin and what she said." Ciyi frowned and said, "Three years ago, Huichang came to the Snow Mountain Queen Mother Chi Taoist Temple to meet him as a teacher. At that time, he was wearing a green sermon robe, pulling his hair into a hairpin, and walking in cloud shoes, which shows that his heart was very solemn. Kun Dao saw that he was dressed plainly, and he was very comfortable when he saw it. Where, as you say, that disciple will be a treasure garment made by my own hands, and he will use it to deceive the believers. ”

"Besides," Ciyi sighed again.

"Your second senior sister was fortunate to receive Huichang's aid as an apprentice, Kun Dao saw that he was talented and intelligent, and only for the sake of carrying forward Taoism, he created a faction for the Shangling Divine Sect, which was intended to purify living beings and promote Taoism. Your nephew has such great virtue and talent, as a senior aunt, he should be happy, but he didn't think that he misunderstood him a lot. ”

Miao Xin argued: "Master has lived in the Taoist Temple of the Queen Mother of Snow Mountain for a long time, and has been in retreat for many years to cultivate and enlighten himself, but the news is closed, he knows little about the outside world, and everything is unknown, so don't be deceived by Huichang's aid and lose the reputation of Taoism!" ”

"It's all nonsense!"

Hearing that Miao Xin complained that she was unclear about right and wrong because of her retreat and cultivation, and that she intended to protect her disciple and grandson, Ciyi couldn't help but be angry.

"Master Ciyi is too angry."

Xiong Jiandong had to come out to talk at this time.

"Even Shi Tai had noticed that there were many strange things in the Shangling Divine Sect before, and finally because he couldn't rest assured, he asked Miaoxin Dao Chang to secretly investigate. I think that the teacher should make careful arrangements and distinguish between right and wrong! ”

Although he only heard about the Spirit God Sect last night during Miao Xin's inquiry to Old Aman, it was always harmful to think that it was really related to Tu Han, the leader of the terrorists.

"What Mr. Xiong said is extremely true!"

Ciyi nodded in approval.

"In a few days, it will be the third Christmas day of March of the Queen Mother of the West, and my disciple Sun Huichangyuan has made an appointment to go up the mountain to worship, and Kun Dao will interrogate him in detail at that time, and he will have his own conclusion."

Seeing that the light was already shining outside the window, Xiong Jiandong realized that he had been talking with Mrs. Ciyi for more than two hours, and thought that it should be time for her to breakfast, so he got up to say goodbye.

Ciyi ordered Miaoxin to immediately take the snow lotus of Qianshan in the secret room, and she was sure to fry and stew it with her own hands, and serve Xiong Jiandong to take it.

Miao Xin was overjoyed and promised.
