Because there were a lot of people on the ox cart, they all went to the Big Buddha Temple to worship the Buddha and ask for a signature, so Zhu and Ai did not talk.

For Ehr, she really didn't know what to say. In fact, she also wanted to persuade the Zhu couple to be mentally prepared, and if not, they should not be so disappointed.

And in Ai's view, this is almost a certainty.

She suddenly regretted a little, she shouldn't have been in a hurry to tell the Zhu couple about it yesterday. Although both of them have been disappointed for more than ten years, and their hearts have long been full of holes, this time they obviously went with great hope.

If you are disappointed again, it will be no less than another stab in the wound.

Therefore, Ai Shi is actually a little apprehensive in his heart. She was afraid to see the disappointed faces of the Zhu couple, and even more afraid that they would fall ill because they couldn't stand the blow. In their current situation, it's really hard to say to what extent they can withstand it.

The people of this ox cart, without exception, all went to the Great Buddha Temple. Some are going to pray for the blessing of sick family members, and some are going to pray for the blessing of the bodhisattva for the health of their children.

There is nothing like Zhu to find someone.

But whether it was Zhu or others, they all went with hope. Just like the rising sun in the sky, although it is far away, out of reach, and the light is not prominent, it will eventually illuminate the world.

By the time the four of them arrived at the Big Buddha Temple, it was already half the afternoon. Although it was not early, there were not many people, and a few people easily entered the mountain gate and walked to the main hall under the leadership of the little monk.

They were going to talk to the abbot Hui Yuan.

According to Zhu's statement, there is no one in the entire Big Buddha Temple who knows more about the situation than the abbot. Ai Shi naturally agreed, after all, the little monk or something, they had already asked, but they said they didn't know.

However, this abbot is not saying that they can see it if they want to. She'd heard that many people might not be able to see it after coming several times.

The little monk who led the way for a few people happened to have just arrived, and he had just been shaved not long ago, and his home was in the nearby Zhuangzi.

Just because the family is too poor to support a few children, and they don't want everyone to starve to death together, my father and mother want to sell my sister. He was reluctant, but he had no way to help his family, so he offered to come to the Big Buddha Temple to be a monk.

Originally, his father and mother had no intention of selling their children, and life was not so difficult, to the point where they had to sell their children. It's just that his father can't stand the temptation of his cousin, who is a man in the city, and thinks that selling a girl can improve the life of the family.

It's just that he heard that those people who live a good life in the city that are boasted of by others are actually sold by him to that kind of unsightly place, so the price is so high.

His sister was so small, and he didn't want her to be sold to that kind of dirty place. On the contrary, here in the Big Buddha Temple, he has long heard that he has three meals a day, and if he does well, he will have a chance to be promoted. Anyway, he is a man, and there is no shortage of sons in the family, as long as the eldest brother is here.

It is better for him to be a monk than for his sister to be sold.

So, just like that, he came to the Big Buddha Temple.

Because he is sincere, down-to-earth and hard-working, and does not take the initiative to stand, and does not like to tell right and wrong, although he has been here for a short time, he quickly won the favor of several senior brothers, and even the monk Huiyuan praised him once.

Without him, because when he first arrived, he was responsible for the lowest job in the temple, which was to clean the stables. However, he did not complain and cleaned the stables.

Not to mention that the stable had no smell, and the circle was so clean that it could be inhabited. This couldn't help but make the pilgrims who came and went greatly appreciated, and slowly the monk Huiyuan knew about it, so he directly took him out from the bottom and changed it to be responsible for receiving pilgrims from all walks of life, which was a lot easier.

When the people saw that he had the abbot's blue eyes, they no longer bullied him, and it was only then that his life gradually got better.

In the opinion of Monk Huiyuan, although this child is not very talented, but he is diligent and honest, the Big Buddha Temple does not need so many successors, strictly speaking, there are a few competitors, but the Big Buddha Temple needs a large number of people like him.

Although he ate a little more, he was able to resist the work he did.

Since the monks of Huiyuan have done this, the people below naturally follow the trend and gradually get better to him. He is still hard-working, no matter what work he is assigned, he can do it well. No, a few days ago, he found a bag with hundreds of taels of silver tickets, but he handed it to the abbot without even looking at it.

It was because of this that the abbot granted him a huge privilege that no one else had. The people he guided could meet the abbot directly.

Led a few people up the stairs, and he didn't speak.

He was the most silent child at home, so the people in the village didn't call him by his real name, but called him a nerd.

And here, he is called silence.

The silence along the way made Zhu a little uneasy, thought about it, organized the language, and then said to Jingmo: "Little Master, can I ask you about something?" When she said this, Zhu was a little cautious, in her opinion, people in Buddhism cannot be offended, after all, they are the people in front of the Buddha.

In fact, Zhu Shi doesn't have to be like this at all, because first, Silence is more cautious than her, after all, he has just come here not long ago, and Silence is famous for not liking to tell right and wrong and spread rumors, which is also the basis for him to settle down in the Big Buddha Temple.

He knew very well in his heart that it was for this reason that the abbot promoted him.

Hearing this, he said silently: "Maybe I'm going to disappoint the donor!" The little monk has only been in the temple for less than a month, and he knows very little, so he is afraid that he will not be able to help the donor. If the donor has anything to say, let's keep it for now, and ask the abbot in person for a while. ”

When Zhu heard this, he couldn't have said this more sincerely and clearly. It's not that he doesn't help, it's that he comes late and can't help. However, after thinking about it, maybe the monk Ai asked last time was also in this situation!

It seems that there is still hope.

In contrast, Ai Shi was a little disappointed, after all, if this little monk could say something, it would be good for the two Zhu to be mentally prepared. But he is like this, which obviously gives Zhu hope.

But the two men, Xue Laohan and eldest brother Xue Xueyi, didn't say a word, and followed humbly, not knowing what they were thinking.

In this way, several people walked towards the main hall of the Great Buddha Temple step by step with different thoughts.

What they don't know is that this is also the blessing of Tole's silence. If you meet someone else, you may wait until sometime.

Monk Huiyuan is also worried these days, because since Xue Dan came to the Big Buddha Temple, he has regarded him as a successor. Especially after several exams, I am very satisfied. In terms of knowledge alone, Xue Dan's knowledge is very solid, not to mention the first in the whole temple, but it is indeed very wise.

However, although Xue Dan is talented, he is too quiet, or to put it bluntly, too pedantic and old-fashioned, which makes Monk Huiyuan a little embarrassed.

Originally, as a temple and a monk, there is nothing wrong with being pedantic and old-fashioned, after all, such a person will not make any big mistakes at all. However, the Big Buddha Temple is now in the limelight, and if you want to stay far ahead of other temples and stand tall, you must rely on knowledge alone.

Speaking of which, his eldest disciple is undoubtedly the most suitable.

However, his shortcomings are that he is shallow and explicit, which is simply excessive, and he is really not suitable to be an abbot.

It would be nice if there could be one person who had the advantages of both at the same time, the wise monk thought greedily. As everyone knows, this is already a violation of greed.

The sandalwood in the house was swirling, and Monk Huiyuan thought about this problem. He doesn't care about these so-called rules and precepts, to say that he didn't steal, rob or break the law, and he also supported many little monks who came to take refuge because of their poor families.

If he was like those temples in the world, he only knew how to teach Buddhism and did not know how to create wealth, and the people up and down the Great Buddha Temple would have starved to death.

How to cultivate these two children, Monk Huiyuan thought in his heart.

At this moment, a silent voice suddenly sounded outside the meditation room: "Master, there is a guest from afar who wants to see Master." ”

Hearing this, Monk Huiyuan said, "Take them to the guest room, and I'll be there right away." ”

As he spoke, he sighed, to say that silence is really a god, he gave him this privilege, but did not say the standard, that is, who should be brought to meet him.

Who knows, Silent has not made a mistake, and almost every time the people brought up can be seen, or have to be seen. In this way, this kid is actually not simple, not as ordinary as he looks on the outside.

It would be nice if Xue Dan had such a sense of observation.

However, there is still a long time, and there is time to teach, as long as the other party is willing to listen. I'm not afraid that I can't teach, but I'm afraid that the other party is not willing to learn.

It's just that what he doesn't know is that he is about to lose Xue Dan.

When they arrived at the guest room, the Zhu family did not drink tea, although they were indeed very thirsty. They didn't come here for tea, but to find people.

As soon as Monk Huiyuan entered the meditation room, he saw a few people who were so restrained.

To be honest, he could see the reason almost at a glance with the people he brought in silently the first few times, but this time, he was a little confused. I thought about it for a while, but I had to ask Silence, what is the standard of these people this time.

This kid is magical, and it's like going to Zen.

It's just that he will immediately know that silence is powerful, because this matter is so special that he doesn't need to ask anything at all.

When the Zhu family saw that the Huiyuan monk had come in, they all stood up and hurriedly saluted the wise monk, chanting "Lord Abbot." "Just kidding, this is the ***** of the Big Buddha Temple, but you can't offend.

For this title, Monk Huiyuan doesn't mind, anyway, the four of them are empty, what is it called. So, he folded his hands and saluted: "A few donors, please sit down and talk." ”

After saying that, he sat on the futon himself, looking like he didn't provoke the world. But in fact, just because he likes to make money, he has caused countless dust.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zhu said: "That's the case, there is something I want to ask the abbot about you, and the old man wants to ask, is there a helpless little monk in this temple a few months ago?" Well, he's about eleven or twelve years old, and he's skinny, and he doesn't like to talk quietly. By the way, when he came, his hair was not long, but short. ”

Zhu said them one by one according to the clues provided by Ai, for fear of missing something. She knew in her heart that Ai Shi and the others were reluctant to take the initiative to speak, so she spoke directly.

After speaking, he nervously waited for Monk Huiyuan's reply.

As soon as Zhu said this, Monk Huiyuan immediately thought of one person, and that was Xue Dan. To say that over the years, there are really a lot of people who come to the temple because they can't survive, which is why the Big Buddha Temple doesn't need to recruit people at all, and there is no shortage of people.

However, for so many years, as Zhu said, Xue Dan was the only one who came with long hair and wearing monk's clothes.

Seeing the anxious appearance of the Zhu family, could it be Xue Dan's relatives?

Thinking of this, the wise monk was secretly shocked in his heart, and admired the silence even more. I don't know if he was a blind cat who bumped into a dead mouse, or if he really had his own unique perspective and standards.

It doesn't matter if you can't be an abbot for such a person, but you can definitely use it as a master of prediction. When he is free, he must teach him some Dharma.

It's just that he doesn't plan to talk to him all at once, but is ready to explore the truth first. In case these people are not relatives, but bad people, it will not be good. With Xue Dan's appearance, he couldn't handle it at all.

After thinking about it, the wise monk said, "The monks don't speak, so I naturally want to answer your questions." It's just that, let me ask you first, what are you here for? Does it have any connection to this man? ”

Hearing the wisdom monk say this, the Zhu family was a little excited, obviously, the highly suspicious child in Ai's mouth came to this big Buddha temple, otherwise, the wisdom monk directly said that there was no, and there was no need to probe the wind at all.

So, Zhu stood up and said excitedly: "It's a long story, abbot. That little monk, we suspect is my family's lost son eleven years ago. A few months ago, he accidentally came to my house and rescued my sister-in-law, who was helping him sew and mend his clothes when he saw a bag in his arms with the word "Xue" embroidered on it. To say that although this bag is similar, but that kind of stitching, only my mother-in-law knows. So we wanted to make sure. ”

Maybe it was excitement, Zhu's words didn't match the preface and the afterword, and it was messy. However, even so, a clear message is being conveyed that Xue Dan is her son.

Hearing this, the wise monk was about to die of depression, but he trained Xue Dan as his successor. Originally, I thought that he came to the Big Buddha Temple to become a monk because he lost his family in the earthquake, but now it is good, and his family has come to the door.

No matter how unwilling he is, it is impossible for him to lie, let alone break up other families. And if Xue Dan knew about this matter in the future, he would not stay in the Big Buddha Temple with peace of mind.

That's it, it's just nothing.

Thinking of this, the wise monk said, "There is such a little monk who came to the temple a few months ago. As for whether it is the person you are looking for, it is unknown. Well, then, I'll have him brought here, and you'll see for yourselves. ”

Hearing this, Zhu and Xue Laohan nodded their heads, as if they were afraid that Monk Huiyuan would regret it. Xue Aishi was even more excited. It seems that 90% of this is true.

As long as the child in the mouth of Monk Huiyuan is the one she saw that day, then he must be Xue Dan, can't be wrong!

Thinking of this, he also stood up and squeezed Zhu's hand tightly.

Seeing this, Monk Huiyuan was even more depressed, it seemed that Xue Dan would definitely be returned.

Thinking of this, Monk Huiyuan ordered the silence who had been waiting outside the door and asked him to bring Xue Dan over.

Silently took the order.

The Zhu family was excited for a while, and took a few sips of tea, as if this could calm their excited hearts.

Soon, they will learn that they will never be able to calm down again.

Xue Dan had just finished his work and was meditating in the meditation room. Now, after a few months of adaptation, he likes to live in the Big Buddha Temple more and more, and feels that it is much better than the Nameless Temple, which can be in the red dust without getting into the red dust.

As a monk, is there anything better than this?

As soon as he read a few words, he was interrupted by silence: "Senior brother, Master asked me to pass on the message, so that you can go to the guest room next to the main hall at this moment, there is something wrong." ”

When Xue Dan heard this, he had no choice but to stand up, tidy up his clothes, and follow Jing Mo towards the main hall.

Gradually, there were footsteps outside the house, and the Zhu family began to get nervous again. They wondered in their hearts what this little monk would look like.

Who knows, when Xue Dan showed his face, they were all a little disappointed, because it was not as they expected, the person who came would be carved out of the same mold as Xue Laohan or Zhu's, or rather, like one of them.

Obviously, Xue Dan was not like any of them.

Seeing the obvious disappointed expressions on the faces of several people, Monk Huiyuan suddenly felt a little cool in his heart, but this feeling disappeared in a flash, and he could no longer find it.

If not, it would be great.

"Master, your name is disciple?"

When Zhu Shi heard this, his heart was even more uncomfortable. Her son, how could he be a monk. He is the only seedling of the Xue family, and he has to continue the incense.

After Xue Dan sat down, Monk Huiyuan said: "That's the case, these donors are here to look for relatives, and they think that you are their child who has been lost since childhood." So ......"

Hearing this, Xue Dan was stunned for a while, and he didn't know what Monk Huiyuan's idea was. Such a big thing, he said it lightly.

If he is replaced, he will never be able to say it.

Seeing that he was surprised, Zhu said kindly: "Child, what memories do you have about your hometown and your parents?" Or, what tokens are there? It's the kind that has been worn since childhood. ”

Forget it, a monk is a monk, and if it's vulgar, it's not. It's just that he is her own son, no matter what it is, she recognizes it.

Zhu began to guide him step by step, hoping that Xue Dan would be able to think of some things on his own, and it would be much easier to do so. After all, they don't want to find someone or find the wrong person.

Seeing that the Zhu family was so kind and looking forward to it, Xue Dan was a little unbearable.

Since following Yin Ping down the mountain, he has learned a lot of emotions and experienced corresponding feelings. In front of him, Zhu's state made him feel that this was the love of parents for their children.

Thinking of this, Xue Dan said: "According to my previous master, Ye Feng and Yin Ping were abducted by Huazi, and he said that my surname is Xue, and my single name is a Dan character. By the way, I have a bag with the word "Xue" embroidered on it, and Master said that I have been wearing it since I was a child. Later, I don't know why, Master let all three of us go down the mountain, saying that we were going to find our biological parents. ”

Xue Dan truthfully repeated the words that the wise monk told him one by one, but the tone was a little strange, as if he was talking about other people's affairs.

Hearing this, Xue Laohan and the others were so excited that they wanted to jump up, so they just ran over and hugged Xue Dan and called their son. All this information shows that the little monk in front of them is the son they have lost for eleven years.

The name is the same, the token is the same. As for whether it looks like or not, what does it matter!

Finally stabilized his mind, Xue Laohan said in a trembling voice: "Then can you lend us that bag to see?" In order to facilitate the comparison, he had already taken Xue Dacheng's bag.

His mother's craftsmanship is not something that everyone can imitate, and no one wants to imitate it.

Xue Dan obediently turned his back and took out the bag embroidered with the word "Xue" from his chest, then turned around and handed it to Xue Laohan.

Taking the bag that Xue Dan handed over, Xue Laohan also took out the bag that Xue Dacheng gave him from his purse. In this comparison, the monks of Huiyuan were stunned, this is exactly the same.

In particular, the crooked font is definitely from the same person. In other words, Xue Dan is indeed the son of the couple in front of them who have been lost for eleven years. For a moment, he froze, and he really didn't know what to say.

This search for relatives has been found in the temple, and it is really a strange fate. Thinking of this, the monk Huiyuan recited "Amitabha".

Seeing those two identical tips, Xue Dan was even more dumbfounded, what he didn't believe the most had happened. To be honest, he has always been resistant to going down the mountain.

Otherwise, he would not have resolutely separated from Yin Ping and came to the temple again.

However, what should he do about this matter in front of him?

However, there was no need for him to make any decisions at all, and no matter what he thought, Zhu Shi had already pounced, hugged Xue Dan and began to cry: "You are my son, you are!" My Dan'er, my mother finally found you, it's been eleven years, and my mother thought she couldn't find you in this life......"

Although Xue Laohan didn't speak, he also held Xue Dan's hand tightly, his excited lips trembled, and tears flowed.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Monk Huiyuan knew in his heart that this matter was irreparable. Perhaps, Xue Dan is really unfinished, which will be different from mundane affairs. Anyway, return the customs, go to the red dust for a walk, maybe you will understand.

He knew Xue Dan no matter how well he knew, this person was indecisive and the most easily influenced by others. Zhu and Xue Laohan are so excited and enthusiastic, he is afraid that he will not be able to resist. Rao is reluctant or doesn't know what to do, but he will eventually leave with them.

Thinking of this, Monk Huiyuan said: "This is really a strange fate, congratulations to a few people." It's just that it seems that the fate of you and me as a master and apprentice can only go so far. ”

Xue Dan heard Monk Huiyuan say this, and he understood that he was "driving" himself down the mountain. However, do you really want to go down the mountain with the two old men in front of you?

Although he thought so in his heart, he let Zhu and Xue Laohan hug him and cry bitterly. Again, he felt the emotion called motherly love and fatherly love. This emotional blow hit his inner hesitation, and he retreated one after another, and he was unable to form an army.

Therefore, he can't go back with you, he can't say it.

He walked out of the Nameless Temple with Yinping with great difficulty, and later took refuge in the Big Buddha Temple. It's just that he can't escape the big net of red dust, so that he can be found by his relatives.

Perhaps, this is the will of heaven and the fate of the legend.
