The girl's name is Chi Zhu. His father's surname is Chi, and Chi Zhu was born in the bamboo forest of Shaomu Mountain, so he was named Zhu.

At that time, the girl's father accompanied her mother who was about to give birth to Shaolin to pay homage to incense, begging the Buddha to bless the mother and the child in her womb with safety.

As soon as she finished putting on the incense and took a walk in the bamboo forest, her mother felt a pain in her abdomen, and then she couldn't walk anymore and sat down on the ground. Fortunately, Master Zhitong passed by at that time, and carried the girl's mother to a stable mother-in-law's house in the city, so that Chi Zhu was born smoothly and the mother and daughter were safe.

The little monk Jueyuan grew up in the Shaolin Temple on Shaomu Mountain, and when he was a little older, he often went down the mountain to buy at the market. Because I often buy vegetables at a vegetable stall, I met this girl in Songyang City. Later, Jueyuan learned that his master Zhitong was Chi Zhu's life-saving benefactor.

Originally, Zhitong told the late family not to tell the little girl, after all, the children of Buddhism do not ask for anything in return. But this matter was finally known to Chi Zhu. Therefore, Chi Zhu went up the mountain at two ends in three days to help in the Shaolin Temple. There is a girl dangling around in the Shaolin Temple all day long, which is not convenient after all. So the abbot asked Chi Zhu not to stay in the Shaolin Temple all the time, but Chi Zhu didn't pay attention to it at all and still went his own way.

Later, the first Master Zhizhi of the Discipline Academy came forward and threatened him, but it was still useless.

In the end, Master Zhitong came out of the horse, persuaded him, and finally reached a consensus with Chi Zhu that it was okay to go up the mountain to worship incense, but try not to go to the apse where the monks lived.

Chi Zhu agreed.

Later, every time Jueyuan went down the mountain, he carefully followed the teacher's orders to see Chi Zhu, and after coming and going, the two men and women of the same age became more and more familiar.

Every time Master Zhitong took Jueyuan to travel, Chi Zhu would tell them to bring local specialties to himself. Before going to the capital last time, Chi Zhu asked them to buy him some rouge from Qiulanfang.

After Master Zhitong and Jueyuan arrived in the capital, they found Qiulanfang, and under the surprised eyes of everyone, they walked around Qiulanfang, and when they asked the price, the old and young ran away.

A box of rouge that is only the size of a palm is sold for five taels of silver, and the money in the pockets of the two of them is not a tael.

Master Zhitong thought at the time, when he went to Qingtian Pavilion to ask for Zhao Yuanzuo, he took some silver with him. I didn't expect to forget about it later.

Now, Chi Zhulai is asking for rouge, and of course Master Zhitong can't tell the truth and tell himself that he has forgotten.

Chi Zhu puffed up and said: "Master Zhitong, you have forgotten three times, I didn't pursue you the first two times, and you forgot again this time!"

Zhitong moved a chair to Chi Zhu: "Xiaozhu will sit down first, and I will tell you carefully." ”

Chi Zhu glanced at Ling Yun, and said in his heart that this Ling Yun is so serious, there is no smile at all, which makes people feel scared.

Zhitong told Chi Zhu that in Qingtian Pavilion, he and the two great masters of An Liu fought for 300 rounds, and the fight was dark, and then everyone was tired of fighting, so they agreed that each would teach each other's disciples for a year, and the disciples would fight a year later to decide the winner. In this way, losing is actually winning, and winning, that is, losing. Whatever the outcome, it's a good outcome. And the rouge I bought in Qiulanfang has been put on Jueyuan's body, and I was in a hurry when I left, so I forgot about it. As he spoke, Zhitong looked at Ling Yun.

Ling Yun was silent for a moment and nodded towards Chi Zhu.

Chi Zhu was angry at this time, and said: "Master Zhitong, your memory is really poor, Monk Jueyuan has to come back in a year, so don't I have to wait a year to get the rouge? Why don't you write a letter to Jueyuan, and ask Jueyuan to pay attention to whether there are any people in the academy who have come to Songyang City recently, and if so, bring Rouge to people by the way. ”

Zhitong gave a thumbs up: "This plan is very wonderful, very wonderful! Xiaozhu is really smart and clever, okay, just do what you say, I will go back and write to Jueyuan immediately, and strive to bring you the rouge before the year." ”

Chi Zhu finally showed a smile and filled Zhitong's wine glass: "Master Zhitong is the best for Xiaozhu." ”

Zhitong breathed a long sigh of relief, quietly pinched his sweat, and said: "Xiaozhu and the old monk are related to me, the old monk is not good to you, but to whom." Come, this is Ling Yun, the disciple of the master, Xiaozhu don't lose her manners. ”

Chi Zhu hurriedly stood up, saluted sideways, and said, "Little girl Chi Zhu, I have seen Ling Gongzi, I have offended a lot, please bear with me." ”

Ling Yun nodded: "It's okay." ”

Ling Yun only now could see that the clothes worn by this girl named Chi Zhu were not exposed to her calves, and the color of her pants was similar to the color of her skin, so from a distance, it was easy to mistake her pants for calves.

Zhitong also saw Chi Zhu's legs at this time, and was about to educate Chi Zhu about what calves to show in the winter. Although the people of Songyang City are open, they can't let themselves freeze. But after taking a closer look, Zhitong smiled: "Xiaozhu, you are very naughty." ”

Chi Zhu also covered his mouth and smiled, and said: "Grandpa Zhitong, this is the new style from the capital of Wei State, I have several sisters who have bought it, it is very cheap." ”

Zhitong shook his head and said: "You guys, what's the use of learning these messes, it's better to find a wishful husband to marry and give birth to a few babies as soon as possible." ”

Chi Zhu's face was red: "Grandpa Zhitong just said nonsense, what did the monk say about marrying and having a baby." As he spoke, he pushed Zhitong.

Zhitong laughed, and Lao Huai comforted. Although he is a monk, looking at Chi Zhu, he can't help but think that if he hadn't been a monk back then, if he had been with that woman, I'm afraid that his granddaughter would be about the same age as Chi Zhu now.

After sending Chi Zhu home, Zhitong and Lingyun went to Shaolin Temple.

Ling Yun asked, "The monks don't make a bunch of, but Master Zhitong makes a bunch of swords. ”

Zhitong said with a smile: "I have eaten all the wine and meat, and there is nothing that I can't fight." Let me tell you, old monk, I don't obey all the precepts except for not being close to women. Haha, what can you do with me?"

Ling Yun was speechless.

"Zhitong, follow me back to the Discipline Academy to be punished!" Suddenly, a voice fell from the sky. Then, I saw a tall monk who came from nowhere, and suddenly appeared beside Zhitong and Ling Yun. This monk is extremely tall, Ling Yun's height is considered tall among ordinary people, and this monk is two heads taller than Ling Yun, and his arms and waist are also very wide, and the whole person is like a giant tower.

The smile on Zhitong's face gradually froze, and then said with a bitter face: "Senior brother, where did you come from?"

"I just passed by the restaurant where you are and saw you. Master Zhizhi, as the head of the precept institute, has been in charge of the punishment in the temple for more than 20 years, and today he went down the mountain to have something, just in time to see Zhitong eating and drinking there, and catch it right.

Zhitong drooped his head, and the three of them returned to Shaolin Temple.

In the precept hall, Zhizhi ordered Zhitong to kneel down in front of the Buddha statue, took out a bamboo with a thick bowl, and hit Zhitong on his head. Every time he hit, there was a dull roar, and Ling Yun watched from the side, feeling the urge to touch his head.

"Lingyun, these days, you have time to write a letter back to Qingtian Pavilion and send someone... Go to Qiulanfang and buy a few boxes of rouge. Zhitong felt that Senior Brother Zhizhi's skills had grown again, and the true qi on this ring stick was even stronger, although it hurt, it was still bearable.

"Yes. Ling Yun nodded.

"The disciples of the Discipline Academy are all coming out!" Master Zhizhi shouted, and in an instant, more than a dozen monks walked out of the back of the hall, each holding the largest precept stick.

"Ling Gongzi, please go outside, the precept hall is small to prevent accidental injury. Zhizhi clasped his hands together and asked Lingyun to go out.

"Yes. "Ling Yun went out obediently. Stand outside the door and wait for Zhitong.

"Beat me until I break fifty sticks each!" Chizhi ordered.

All the monks in the hall claimed to be, and then they saw more than a dozen monks holding thick precept sticks with bowl mouths, flying up and down next to the kneeling master Zhitong.

Bang, bang, bang.

Master Zhitong gritted his teeth, his eyes were scarlet, and he could still speak in his mouth, and he said that Juefeng had been lazy recently, right?

Half an hour later, Master Zhizhi interrupted the twentieth precept stick in his hand, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, gasped out of the door, and sat down on the steps.

Raising his eyes to look at Ling Yun, who was as tall as jade next to him, Zhi Zhi said straightly: "Ling Gongzi followed Zhitong and worked hard. ”

Ling Yun bowed his head slightly and said: "Master Zhitong is wise and foolish, the disciple has followed the master for a few days, but I only feel that the master's Dharma is boundless, which is really difficult for me to match." With that, Ling Yun walked down four steps, so that even if he was sitting, the giant tower-like Zhizhi was slightly taller than Ling Yun.

Master Zhizhi noticed this detail of Ling Yun's downward movement, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and said, "I have known Ling Zun Ling Gaoyang for many years, and you are so similar to him, the same strict self-discipline, the same abundant spirit like jade. After a pause, Zhizhi continued: "If Gao Yang hadn't had that illness back then, give him another twenty years, and he would definitely be able to solve the matter of his lowly status." ”

Referring to his father, who had been deceased for many years, Ling Yun's face only briefly flashed a trace of pain, and then he quickly recovered his expression and said, "My father is dedicated to the people, and he can't compare with a child." ”

Zhizhi sighed lightly, looked back at Zhitong, who had been beaten and bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and said, "There is no difference between high and low life in this world. What Ling Zun does is what benefits the world. My Buddhism talks about the equality of all beings, but all disciples are only cultivating their own bodies, and people as transparent as Zhitong can only be so indulgent when they see it clearly. ”

Ling Yun lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said, "Master Zhitong is not wrong, and Master Zhizhi is not wrong either. The children of Buddhism should have rules and regulations, and only those who have reached the level of Master Zhitong are qualified to indulge. To benefit the world, we must first start with ourselves. I remember when I was a child, my father used to tell me to cultivate my body first, and then cultivate the world. Pragmatism is the foundation of life. ”
