Chapter 236 Paying off debts for his father's generation
Staying in the national temple all day, in addition to wanting to get along with his own disciple Sun Duoduo, a monk also has another purpose, just because he sent a letter to Kyoto and has not received a reply yet, he is unwilling, and wants to continue and wait.
Presumably, after the little apprentice got the box of treasures, his expression must have been very good-looking, but she was a little regretful, she couldn't see the little apprentice being struck by lightning with her own eyes, and she could only barely fantasize in her heart.
Although the little apprentice may not be very happy, he will definitely send him a treasure that makes him even happier, so he waits for pleasure, even if he has to suffer from the white eyes of the dust and the pretended disdain of the rest of the little monks every day, he is still disrespectful to the old man.
Even though he was a monk who had returned to the world, his shaved head still shone in the sunlight, so that many pilgrims passing by would respectfully call him a master.
Looking at their sincere expression of calling him from the heart, a monk couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that the senior brother has been very successful as a monk over the years, most people are willing to believe in the existence of the Buddha, to change it to him, he must fish for three days and dry the net for two days, not to mention making the national temple famous, and not letting the national temple be notorious is already something he rarely does.
I thought so in my heart, but a monk didn't show half a point on his face, but accepted their title calmly, and then said lightly: "Donors are polite, although I was originally a monk in the national temple, but now I am still a layman." ”
The pilgrims were very curious: "Isn't it good to be a monk?" Why does the master want to be an ordinary person? ”
A monk with an unfathomable look on his face, bowed deeply towards the main hall dedicated to the statue, and said solemnly: "I am getting older and older, devoting myself to Buddhism for decades, consciously realizing that the suffering of the world is not deep, and the cultivation is not enough, I want to use the rest of the time to consciously experience the true meaning of birth, the true meaning of the Buddha, in order to accompany the Buddha as soon as possible." ”
The pilgrims immediately admired each other, and when they saw that a monk seemed to be understanding, they couldn't bear to disturb it anymore, and left quietly one after another, giving him a quiet place.
Out of the corner of his eye, a monk saw that they had raised their feet and left, and his heart was happy, and he didn't dare to show half a point on his face, but he still maintained a rigorous and solemn expression, and did not turn around for a long time towards the main hall dedicated to the gods.
When all the footsteps disappeared from his ears, he turned around, and immediately revealed his true form, and put on that careless expression like an old urchin on his face, so that everyone who saw him couldn't help but feel malicious towards him.
It's a pity that the monk calculated everything, but he forgot that there was a little radish head not far from him who happened to come to ask him to eat.
After hearing what his master said, An Zeqing opened his mouth, wanting to say something, and felt that he should remain silent now, so he obediently did not speak.
After everyone left, he ran madly in the direction of a monk with his short legs, and when he got closer, he saw that the master who was full of deep expression just now had become a look at this time.
If two people are judged.
Even he was muttering to himself.
"Fortunately, Lao Tzu reacted quickly, otherwise those little cubs would have seen that I was returning to the vulgar because of my attachment to mundane things, and my senior brother would not have killed me!"
An Zeqing: "......"
He suspected he had misheard.
No, this is not his master, how could his master be rude because of a trivial matter, and even say such vulgar words in the Buddhist gate.
An Zeqing didn't know how to react, should he go up to the public meal calmly, or should he leave quietly? Like the previous group of people, so that Shi Gong would think that his image had not been exposed.
It's a tough choice.
Before he could choose a result, a monk had already discovered his existence first, just because his long black and bright hair was too eye-catching, and a monk had to pay attention even if he didn't want to.
In the entire temple, except for those pilgrims, those who can wear this robe and have long hair are not chosen by anyone other than An Zeqing.
Seeing that he had been discovered, An Zeqing no longer hesitated, and ran out with small steps, anyway, A-Niang said that if someone was found to be eavesdropping, he must behave more calmly than that person, only then can he strike first.
A monk's rampant laughter stopped abruptly, his long beard shook and shook, and one of his hands didn't pay attention to tearing off a small handful of beards, and his expression was distorted in pain: "Little apprentice, when did you come?" ”
An Zeqing is a good boy who can't lie, so he replied truthfully: "Just now, when the master was talking to the pilgrims, I happened to come and wanted to ask the master to eat, and seeing that the master was busy, it was inconvenient to come forward and disturb. If the master is disturbed, the apprentice grandson apologizes to the master here. ”
After speaking, he bowed to a monk decently, and even if the monk was a little embarrassed, he didn't know how to express it.
The heart is both heartwarming and fire.
However, over the years, a monk has already practiced copper skin and iron bones, even if someone discovers his double-sidedness, he is not only not ashamed, but even proud.
"Disciple Sun, today Shigong wants to teach you a truth, life in the world, don't be limited by the rules and regulations of the world, in front of outsiders, you can wrap yourself with layers of perfect masks, only in front of the people you trust can you show your true face."
A monk shamelessly classified his disciples and grandsons into the ranks of trust, because only in this way could he save his crumbling and tall image in the minds of his disciples.
Sure enough, the young An Zeqing fell for him and asked ignorantly: "Is it like what Shigong did just now, because the relationship between the pilgrims and Shigong is not close, so Shigong will face them with another face?" ”
And the reason why he was able to find out was because Shigong didn't intend to hide it from him from the beginning, because the two were in a relationship that could trust each other.
I have to say that An Zeqing was successfully led crooked by a monk.
Seeing that the child had even found an excuse for himself, how could a monk not climb up the pole, nodded without jumping his eyelids, looked admiring, and stroked his head as if he was a reward: "The child can be taught, that's what you understand." ”
However, it's really just that An Zeqing thinks too much, and the reason why a monk broke the jar and broke it so calmly was only because her secret was accidentally discovered.
An Zeqing seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and after a while, his attention was attracted by another thing, and the two walked together in the direction of Shantang.
After lunch, the sweeping monk asked the little monk guarding the mountain gate to come and find a monk: "Master, the people from the Kyoto General's Mansion have sent something." ”
The things sent by Li Li had stopped at the foot of the mountain.
The monk who was originally drowsy immediately woke up, his beard moved, and the expression on his face was very excited: "Let's go, let's go and see what good things the General's Mansion has sent to the National Temple!" ”
The little monk responded calmly, and was about to raise his heels, when he saw a monk walking in front of him without looking back, he said: "You go and bring Zeqing over, the things sent by the mother, no matter what, you have to let him pass by." ”
Maybe some of those things were specially given to the junior apprentices, and when the time came, they might as well give them directly to the junior apprentices, so that the apprentices would not become depressed because they missed their families too much.
The little monk who reported the news had to stop, obediently turned a corner, and walked in another direction, this master has been unreliable for many years, he has long been accustomed to this kind of behavior, and there is no surprise in his heart at this time.
Ming Mingzeqing's little brother was at the back of Shigong's meditation room, and the two rooms were only separated by a door.
A monk rushed down the mountain, walking like flying, thousands of steps in his eyes as if they were playing, not even breathing, so that the pilgrims who were struggling to climb up on the side were all stunned.
So they were even more determined to go to the temple to ask for a peace charm.
A monk's mind flashed with piles of gold, or boxes of silver tickets, or just a small box containing Li Li's private seal.
However, when he walked to the place where he put his things at the bottom of the mountain, his eyes couldn't help but widen in surprise at the hundreds of boxes in front of him.
For a moment, he thought that the box was full of worthless stones, but when he thought about it carefully, with the way a young apprentice did things, she would never disgust herself in that way.
When General Helian saw a bald old monk coming towards him, his attitude couldn't help but become respectful in an instant, and he took the initiative to take two steps forward and arched his hand at him and said, "Master Monk, this is something that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of my family sent to you." ”
As early as many years ago, the emperor of Dongguo abdicated and gave way to Xian, and was succeeded by the eldest prince, and Li Li was also promoted from Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.
A monk hesitated for a moment and asked suspiciously, "General Helian, what did your princess give me?" Why are there so many boxes? ”
Even if there is a lot of silver, there should not be so much, but a few silver tickets can solve it, or a seal can do everything.
General Helian smiled with a deep meaning: "Since the beginning of the road in Kyoto, the last general has never opened the box without authorization, and Her Royal Highness the princess has already said that as long as you open the box yourself, the master, everything will be understood." ”
As a qualified subordinate, he couldn't directly tell a monk master what was inside, and as long as he thought of the malicious smile on the face of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess when he left, he knew that he shouldn't dismantle the master's platform.
As for whether the contents of the box will scare a monk to the point that it is never within the consideration of General Helian, the emperor has an order, and in this life, he only needs to obey the orders of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and anyone else can directly disobey it.
Even the current king of Dongguo is the same.
The monk did not hesitate, guessing in his heart that it was impossible for the little rabbit to scare him with a beast and a poisonous snake, so he opened the box with peace of mind.
For a moment, his eyes shook with boxes of silver light.
General Helian immediately ordered his subordinates to put down the wooden box in their hands, and generously bowed their hands to a monk: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has an order, and the things only need to be sent to the bottom of the mountain to complete the task, as for how to transport them up the mountain, everything depends on the arrangement of the master monk." ”
