Chapter VII: Concealment

The haze that had lingered in my heart for a year dissipated, and I slept peacefully and sweetly this night. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When I woke up, I was refreshed, listening to the gentle and crisp birdsong outside, and suddenly I wanted to go outside. Look at the abbot next to me, it should be that I am very tired from working hard for the past few days, and I am sleeping very sweetly at this time. I tiptoed down the couch, gently opened the door, stepped over the threshold, closed the door softly, and ran out like a gust of wind.

Ah, the air outside is so fresh! I closed my eyes, opened my arms, sniffed the air that had been inhaled into my nose, and a picture came to my mind: a stream rushing through the woods, unknown birds jumping and chirping in the branches of the trees; The dew condensed on the bamboo leaves in the backyard of the temple bent the leaves little by little, rolled towards the tips of the leaves, fell to the ground, shattered, and rippled the soil on the ground; In the distance, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and there are already early bees shuttling among the stamens......

It's so beautiful! I jumped high with joy, and then, and then not so well, my head hit the branch overhead. I panicked all of a sudden, grabbed a branch with my hands and feet, and struggled to climb up with both arms, trying to ride on it. Who knew that one didn't stop, the branch broke, and one fell to the ground, and my ass hurt. Look up, oh my God, that broken branch is a foot high above the ground, did I jump just now? If I hadn't had that branch, wouldn't I have gone to heaven?

I got up and decided to try again with the clearing. After trying it a few times, I realized one thing: it's true, I'm as light as a swallow now! I try to control my force so that the height of each bounce is within my control. After a few times, I was soon able to move freely from tree to tree.

I was so surprised that I wanted to scream. An urge to run drove me like an arrow off a string, and the whole mountain forest whistled past my ears...... It felt like flying, and it was so exciting.

I'm excited, I want to cheer, I feel like I'm the king of this forest. The appearance of the young man in white kept flashing in my mind, and I had a feeling that it was me!

I ran to a stream in the mountains and forests of the Grand Canyon at the bottom of the mountain, my heart was cheering like a bird, and a voice was saying, this is me, this is the life I want!

I picked up a handful of clear stream water and washed my face, and suddenly I caught a glimpse of my own reflection in the stream out of the corner of my eye, and my mind suddenly cleared up - how did I find here? I've never been here before, huh?

I froze by the stream, my mind tumbled over the river and Haiti one by one, and finally froze at the way I went out with my eyes closed, my arms stretched out, my head up and smelling the air.

- I see, I followed the smell of the stream in my nose! I was taken aback by this realization, is this still me? How is this possible?

I looked at myself, and the skin was still the same skin, but the content seemed to be a little different.

I was stunned when I suddenly heard the bell in the temple. It's time to start eating, and the abbot won't find me, I'll be in a hurry! I didn't even think about spreading my legs and running in the direction of the temple.

As I ran, I figured out a truth, that is, no matter who I was and who I will be in the future, I am now the abbot's most beloved disciple. There has already been a regret and there can be no second time! This time, I will never fail anyone who has been nice to me.

The canyon is more than 20 miles away from the temple on the top of the mountain, the mountain road is steep, the forest is dense and dense, and it takes one or two hours to walk on weekdays, but now I have returned to the temple without the effort of half a pillar of incense, and I feel that the blood is smooth all over the body, and it is very comfortable.

As soon as I entered the mountain gate, I saw the abbot in the courtyard reprimanding the miscellaneous novices, "How to do things, not a child can stand it!" Shami lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

I hurriedly shouted, "Master! ”

The abbot raised his eyes and saw me, and his eyes immediately narrowed into a slit, "Pure heart, where have you been early in the morning?" ”

"Master, I woke up early today and went out to get some fresh air, and it's none of the business of others."

"Then go and eat, I'll have someone leave you with food." After eating, let's go to morning class with everyone. As he spoke, he took my hand and led me to the kitchen with a warm greeting. I glanced back at the little novice, and felt really sad for him, the same novice, not a few years older than me, but why is the difference in treatment so big? Hey, what a poor man, it seems that in private I want to be nice to him.
