Chapter 103: Shaving
Li suddenly laughed, "It can be so small, is it that we go in and let you carry it with you in the future?"
I was a little proud, and said word by word: "That's right!"
I raised my hand, and the scroll hung back on the wall and unfolded. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I put my arm around them and said, "However, let's all go in and rest today, and I'll take you out to relax when you're well."
As he spoke, he was already inside the scroll. Li was really sleepy, so he threw himself directly on the bed, closed his eyes and covered the quilt and said, "Don't call me anyone, I want to sleep well."
"Don't worry, sleep as long as you want, no one will bother you."
I lay in my bed, feeling at peace.
It's so good, I'm awake, the clear space has also improved, and I don't know where Yaochen has gone.
With her current ability, I'm afraid that only she can bully others, and no one can bully her, right?
Thinking about it this way, I am very immoral and relieved, although the person who was bullied by her probably didn't recruit anyone to provoke anyone, but people in the mortal dust, it really seems that it is not easy to achieve a bowl of water, it seems that it is not easy, it seems that my cultivation is not enough, I still need to practice.
Thinking like this, I fell asleep in a daze, and when I woke up, it was already dawn.
Thinking of Zhang Ling'er's shaved degree, I got up busily, cleaned up and went out.
After breakfast with the monks, I went to the Dharma hall early.
Looking at everything I was familiar with, it was like yesterday when I shaved my face. And today, I am going to shave Zhang Ling'er with my own hands, all of which makes me feel unreal, like illusion.
The bell in the temple shattered my memories, and I gathered my mind, cheered up, and greeted the arrival of the monks in all directions.
Soon, the monks rushed in and lined up on both sides. Zhang Ling'er was ushered in.
As if my soul had been detached, I listened to Vena leading the monks to chant sutras, make incense, worship the Buddha, and everything was like a dream.
It wasn't until the waiter came to me with a tray with a razor that I woke up suddenly and asked Zhang Ling'er with a knife: "I'm going to shave your hair now, are you willing?" ”
Zhang Ling'er replied crisply: "Yes." ”
There was a hint of expectation in the child's eyes, which made me stunned, and the knife in my hand froze and stopped in mid-air.
Zhang Ling'er noticed my abnormality and secretly pulled down my robe, and I suddenly woke up and returned to reality.
I hurriedly took a clean bottle of water and sprinkled it on the top of his head, took up a razor, and while shaving his hair, I said in my mouth: First sword, cut off all evil; the second sword, willing to cultivate all good; The third sword swears to all sentient beings. ”
It's not so much that I'm shaving, it's better to say that I'm torturing myself, is it really okay to decide a child's life like this?
Shaved to the top of his head and with a handful of hair, I asked him, "If you regret it now, it's too late."
Zhang Ling'er looked up at me with a resolute attitude, "I will never regret it." ”
I sighed and shaved the last strand of green silk.
Or, shave off the three thousand troubles, and from then on he will be an outsider.
I took the robe from the hand of the attendant and gave it to him.
"Zhang Ling'er, this seat gives you the legal name Huixian. You need to remember that from now on, there will be no Zhang Ling'er in the world, only Huixian. I hope that in the future, you will be able to practice the Dharma diligently, have all sentient beings in mind, and benefit all living beings. ”
Hui Xian gave a big bow and thanked, "Follow the teachings." ”
I accepted his thanks and hurried away.
I came to the back mountain, the place where I used to look at the sky. Sitting on the cliff with your feet hanging over, you feel like you've traveled through life.
In life, in the dark, I really don't know whose hands are in charge of the wheel of fate, making the joys and sorrows of ant-like beings and composing their fate.
And fate, in the face of this so-called certainty, I suddenly felt so small, so powerless.
In the past, when I was cultivating, I would often have the feeling of looking down on sentient beings. And after all this, I realized that I was just one of these beings, and there was nothing remarkable about it.
I'm a little bit more capable than they are, and I can do things that they can't. However, in the face of fate, I am also powerless.
I can't stop myself from coming here, I can't stop Yaochen's mutation, I can't stop the void from turning into a soulless empty shell.
I can't stop anything.
I felt powerless than ever.
I was alone on the edge of the cliff blowing the cold wind, in a daze, and I don't know how long it took, the small broken steps behind me woke me up.
I don't have to look back, I also know that it's Hye-hyun's kid.
The footsteps stopped behind me.
I waved my hand, "Come and sit." The boy sat down next to me with joy.
"Master Abbot, aren't you happy?"
I put my arm around his thin shoulders and said softly, "No, I just remembered something and felt a little bit of it."
Hyehyun breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll rest assured, I thought you regretted taking me in!"
I pinched his little face and said lovingly, "You are so cute, how can Master regret it?"
"But why are you ......?"
"I'm afraid you'll regret it. After all, you are still so young, leaving home means that you can only be accompanied by the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha in this life, and there are so many tempting things in the world that people in the world are pursuing, I don't know if you will regret today's decision when you grow up. ”
Huixian listened to me, patted his chest, looked at me and said, "Master Abbot, don't worry, I am also a person who has been mixed in the world, not a little kid who doesn't know anything." The things of the world are worthless in my eyes, you are the god in my eyes, and I worship you. So, I don't regret it. ”
I shook his shoulder and smiled dumbly: "Worship me? What do you do with worship me? I'm not omnipotent!"
"You are not omnipotent, but you are merciful!" Hye-hyun stared at a pair of big eyes and said solemnly.
"I've heard the story of when you sacrificed your life to the mountains to kill the harm. You, a foreigner, do these things for the sake of us irrelevant people without asking for anything in return, how can an uncompassionate person do it?"
Come to think of it, this kid was right in a way. I was able to walk away, and I really wanted to save the villagers from the pain of being homeless.
"Okay, since you recognize me, then you also have to be a person who cares about all beings, can you do it?"
"Yes!"
Hearing Huixian's resounding answer, I was very relieved. I think it's also a kind of inheritance of life.
Hye-hyun and I sat for a while, and there was a faint sound of tapping the board in the temple.
"Let's go, let's eat."
I stood up and pulled Hye-hyun up.
"Huixian, do you know why Master gave you the word 'Xian'?"
Hyehyun looked confused and shook her head at me.
I tightened my little hand and said, "Master hopes that you can become a virtuous and talented person."
The kid nodded thoughtfully.
I took his hand in one hand and rubbed his head with the other, "Huixian, you have to remember that cultivation is a kind of tempering of people. If you want to become a great monk, you must first understand the suffering of sentient beings. ”
"Then how can we understand the suffering of all beings?"
"Practice it and experience it with more heart. To put it simply, in the temple, you have to start with the most basic chores. You can't be ambitious, you have to do everything that others tell you, you know?"
Hye-hyun's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh, I see." Don't worry, Master, I am not afraid of hardship, and I will do everything in a down-to-earth manner. ”
Well, sure enough, Confucianism is teachable.
I squeezed his little hand and said with relief, "Okay, I trust you." ”
