I don't talk about the thoughts of Princess Yicheng's mother and daughter, but I say that the eldest grandson, the little lady and others walked into the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and saw the abbot Jiexian sitting on the podium, with his eyebrows hanging lightly, smiling, and concentrating on lecturing for everyone.

The abbot's hand Buddha beads have been somewhat damaged due to years of rubbing, the color of the monk's robe on his body is dull, he is full of wrinkles after washing and beating many times, his beard is gray, and the wrinkles on his face are stacked.

The podium was already full of admiring listeners, the eldest grandson and the little lady and a few others saw that everyone was concentrating and did not dare to disturb, so they quietly walked in, gestured to the little novice to move the futon, and looked around for an open space to sit down.

This sutra is full of an hour and a half, starting from the moment of the hour, to the end of noon, because it is the Buddha Festival, there are many pilgrims, the temple has prepared a meal early, the pilgrims who enter the temple today, if they want, can stay in the temple to eat. There is still a more than hour's drive from the White Horse Temple to Luoyang City, and the eldest grandson and the little lady and the Zheng family came out early in the morning, even if they used breakfast, they were hungry at this hour, and they had to go back after the fast.

Yang Qiniang's mother and son entered the temple to listen to the scriptures with the eldest grandson and Zheng's family, and naturally sat together when they had a meal, Yang Qiniang was familiar with the eldest grandson and the little lady at first sight, and was next to her when eating, after the meal, the Yang and Li families were ready to go back to the city together, and they didn't want the eldest grandson and the little lady to just leave the temple gate, and they were stopped by a little novice with clear eyebrows, and the novice stood in front of them, and clasped his hands together: "Amitabha." ”

The little novice looked at the age of only eleven or twelve years old, but there was a sense of Zen between his eyebrows, and his handsome face was as bright as the moon, and he was spotless, like the reincarnated Zen child, the eldest grandson, the little lady and the Zheng family suddenly saw such a little novice stopped in front of them, and they couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately clasped their palms and saluted: "Amitabha, I don't know what the little master has to say." ”

"The tutor invited this female donor to go to the story." The little novice's gaze fell on the eldest grandson, the little lady.

"But you don't know who the commander is?" The eldest grandson asked with a surprised face.

"The family teacher is a virtuous man." The little novice replied.

The eldest grandson, the little lady, Zheng and Yang Zheng, Yang Zheng's mother, were all taken aback when they heard the sound. Master Jiexian is over 60 years old, 20 years ago is the world-famous Buddhist master, 10 years ago came to the White Horse Temple to hang Zen, eight years ago as the host of the White Horse Temple, he took charge of the White Horse Temple, a force to be thrifty, strict requirements in the temple should be monks to hold the heart, not a little arrogant and extravagant.

And three days a month free medical treatment for the poor people, (Master Jiexian has good medical skills. The incense money and silver obtained in the temple are mostly used to give clothes and medicine, and the reputation of the White Horse Temple is getting better and better in his hands day by day, and the incense is becoming more and more prosperous day by day. Not to mention that he has superb Buddhism and brilliant wisdom, so he has a very high reputation among ordinary people and nobles.

The eldest grandson and the little lady and others are frequent visitors in the temple, and they will not fail to recognize the master of the precepts, but although this master is approachable, he has rarely heard of him taking the initiative to make friends with the powerful, and has never heard that he has a formal disciple, it is reported that Emperor Yang has invited him to the palace several times to discuss Buddhism, and he has tried his best to shirk it, only when the Son of Heaven goes to the temple to pray for blessings, when everything can not be pushed, he will take the monks in the temple with the emperor to discuss the Tao and preach the scriptures, pray for blessings.

As for the disciples, the famous temples from all over the world came to listen to him preach the Dharma and said that the monks were like carp crossing the river, but none of them could really enter his seat, and now they suddenly heard that someone claimed to be the disciple of the master of the precepts, they were all stunned, but when everyone's eyes fell on this little novice again, and felt that this matter was really reasonable, this little novice was pure and beautiful, and was born with the wisdom of Buddha nature, if such a person could not become a disciple of the master of the precepts, who else was qualified.

Don't talk about other people's thoughts, but say that the eldest grandson and little lady were stunned for a moment and quickly came back to their senses, and after a little consideration, they spoke: "Since it is invited by the mage, the believer does not dare to postpone it, but she doesn't know where the mage is, so please ask the little master to lead the way." ”

"The family teacher is in the hall, if it is convenient for a few donors, you may wish to go with me, and you can wait outside the hall for a while after you arrive." The little novice saluted. Jiexian is a Taoist monk, plus over sixty years old, it is not abrupt to summon the eldest grandson and little lady alone, but this old Zen master has insight into the world, and does not want to leave a hidden danger of giving a little lady of a family a handle for no reason because he says a few words to others.

Yang Zheng was surprised to see Master Jiexian talking to the eldest grandson and little lady alone, but with the affection that they had met for less than two hours, they would not come over so facelessly, and after saying a few polite words, they left with their daughter first.

Zheng and a group of mothers-in-law Yahuan want to wait for the eldest grandson and little lady, so they walked towards the hall with the little novice, their location is not far from the hall of the introduction, but a cup of tea will arrive, come to the front of the hall, standing outside the door at a glance can see the master of the precepts sitting in front of the Buddha statue in the hall chanting, the little novice to the eldest grandson and the little lady made a gesture of please, the eldest grandson and the little lady nodded to Zheng, signaled her to wait for a while, and then stepped into the inner hall with the little novice.

As soon as the eldest grandson and the little lady walked in front of the Buddha, the Venerable Jiexian who was sitting on the futon stopped chanting, he opened his eyes, turned his eyes and folded his palms to the eldest grandson and the little lady: "The female donor is here, please take a seat." ”

There were four futons on each side of him, and the eldest grandson and little lady saluted him first: "I have seen the mage." Then he chose a futon that was one seat away from him and sat down.

"I take the liberty to invite, and I hope the female donor will forgive me, this is the little apprentice Xuanzang." The mage returned the salute and pointed to the little novice who had brought her in. (Note, Xuanzang became a monk at the age of thirteen and lived with his brother in Luoyang Pure Land Temple, this is a novel after all, not a calendar, these things have been slightly changed.) ）

"The mage is serious, with your prestige, the eldest grandson can be invited, I really feel flattered." The eldest grandson and the little lady were busy.

"The female benefactor has a dragon neck and phoenix eyes, is sensitive, wise and respectful, and has a character that combines rigidity and softness, and her future life is unspeakably precious. Lao Na can see the female donor's side, it is really Lao Na's luck, the reason why today to call the main donor to see, is to have a word of gift. Master Jiexian said solemnly.

"Mage, please." The eldest grandson and the little lady were stunned when she heard this, she really didn't expect to hear such a comment from Master Jiexian, and she was really shocked in her heart, but she had always been calm, although her heart was shocked, her face did not change much, and she only followed the words of the master and asked.

"Love is not long, wisdom will be hurt, I hope that no matter what happens to the female benefactor in the future, she can think less and cherish herself more! This year's Yulan Chongwu Festival, no guests are invited, no guests are allowed to go out. Master Jiexian said slowly.
