Volume 1 Mountains and Orchids Chapter 21 Morning Bell and Dusk Drum One Temple

The old man boiled water, poured tea for the four of them, picked up the teacup and said, "With this cup of tea, I wish him to practice under the Bodhi tree and attain enlightenment as soon as possible." ”

Shangguan Wushuang and Dongfang Yu'er opened their mouths, and they didn't understand for a long time. It wasn't until the old monk called for tea that he came back to his senses.

looked at Lao He and said: "This is also amazing, I will have an epiphany after a punch? I will go in a while and let him teach me." ”

"I want to learn too, Sister Wushuang, let's learn together. Dongfang Yu'er held the teacup in her small hand, looked at the old monk and said.

Hearing what the two of them said, the old monk said with a smile: "This kind of boxing method is extremely strong and fierce, and it is not suitable for women to practice. Princess Wushuang, I heard Ye'er say that he asked Mr. Mo to find you a set of exercises suitable for women's cultivation, didn't he give it to you?"

The young lady's head shook like a rattle, and said, "He didn't give it to me, and Mr. Mo didn't give it either?"

Dongfang Yu'er answered her mouth and said, "Sister Wushuang, yesterday I went to Mr.'s house with my aunt, and I didn't see Li Ye, Mr. gave me a book of exercises, saying that it was for you and me, and it is estimated that yours is still with Mr." ”

The young lady was frightened just now, felt thirsty, picked up the cup and drank the tea, and then said, "This guy won't give it to me." He'll come in a moment and ask him for a split!"

Dongfang Yu'er smiled, and Agui also covered her mouth and smiled, only the old monk didn't understand what was going on.

"What kind of money, who owes you?" As soon as I heard the voice, it was Li Ye coming.

The two young ladies looked up, opened their mouths, and didn't speak for a long time.

"Do you two have a regular distance, and you are also shouting loudly here in my master's place, which is not like words. Li Ye spoke like an adult, and frowned.

The two young ladies looked at Li Ye like curious babies, Shangguan Wushuang stood up, touched Li Yeli's face with his little hand, and said, "Senior brother, how did you get out of the cocoon? So fast? Teach me and your second sister, okay?"

Dongfang Yu'er also looked at Li Ye and nodded, meaning that I also want to learn.

Li Ye pulled away the young lady's hand and said inexplicably: "What cocoon, where did it come from? I was just tired from practicing, so I meditated under the tree and rested for a while." ”

The old monk looked at Li Ye with a smile, and said in his heart: Epiphany without knowing it, this is seeking the Tao without doing anything, and giving without dwelling. Good, good, the old monk was silent, but quickly recited the scriptures several times in his mouth.

Li Ye saluted the master, sat down to take the teacup, and poured the tea.

Ah Gui saw Li Ye coming, and hurriedly said, "Young master, this is Master Zheng from the Splendid Garment Village in the city, who came to measure the clothes of the master." ”

Li Ye got up to greet the old tailor, sat down again, and said, "Master, have you measured my master? ”

Master Zheng looked at him and smiled: "It's not troublesome, it is also our blessing to be able to make monk's clothes for the great monk." ”

Li Ye nodded and respectfully saluted him: "Please bother the master like this." ”

The old monk was full of joy, looked at Li Ye and said, "The right talent has already been measured, and I don't go out often, what do I want to do with a new monk's robe?" ”

"It is appropriate for a disciple to make clothes for the master, although wearing new clothes and old clothes is a practice, but the master does not need to deliberately avoid it, so as not to fall into the picture. Li Ye added a piece of charcoal and boiled water.

The old monk was stunned, thinking that he was almost obsessed with a thought. With Nan Wu Amitabha Buddha in his mouth, the Buddha nature of this disciple is really nothing to say.

Li Ye glanced at Agui again and said, "Did you bring the money?"

Ah Gui came over and handed Li Ye the cloth bag containing the gold coins, and said, "According to the young master's orders, I took a hundred pieces, and the rest are in Mr. ”

Li Ye nodded. He turned to the old tailor and said, "Master, do you think it costs me to make three sets of spring, summer, autumn and winter?"

When the old tailor heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Our shopkeeper said that there is no salary for making monk's clothes for the master, and the specific number of shopkeepers will be known after calculation." ”

Li Ye shook his head and said, "It's my business to make clothes for my master, and I can't miss your craftsman's salary." In this way, I will give you ten gold coins first, and you can do it first when you go back to the village, and then we will return more and make up for less when we go to pick up the clothes, do you think it will be okay?"

After saying that, he opened the bag on the table, counted out ten gold coins from it, and handed it to the old tailor with both hands.

When the old tailor saw that Li Ye was like this, he had no choice but to accept it. He said, "Young Master Li, do you want me to write a list for you?"

"No, I trust you. In addition, please use good cloth to be warm in winter and cool in summer, and if you don't have enough money, I'll give it again. Li Ye swayed.

After speaking, he put the bag containing the gold coins on the side of the old monk's wooden fish, and said softly: "Master, there are dozens of gold coins here, and you can handle all the expenses yourself." ”

The old tailor was also moved when he heard this, thinking that this young master of the Li family really looked at money and wealth, and he was really filial to the old monk.

The old monk didn't reply immediately, but just touched Li Ye's head with his hand, and was half silent.

Li Ye looked at the master's appearance, wondered if the master was sad, and hurriedly said: "Master, this is the master of the Red Sleeve Building in the city, Li Lou, who asked the disciple to write a poem and give a reward, which Wushuang and Yu'er know." ”

"I have quite a few more, don't be upset. Li Ye thought to himself that the master was compassionate and compassionate, and he was a great bodhisattva in the world.

The young lady and Dongfang Yu'er nodded together, like a chicken pecking rice, and replied: "Yes, master, don't feel distressed, Li Ye still has a lot, and he still scores points for the two of us." ”

When the old monk heard the explanation of the two young ladies, he couldn't help but laugh.

The solemn Buddha hall also needs flawless beings to bring happy times occasionally.

The old monk at this moment is the Bodhisattva who smiles and protects the world.

"In this way, the teacher will put lamp oil on the bodhisattvas for you, and then give some white porridge to sentient beings to accumulate blessings. "The old monk thinks that the disciple has Bodhi in his heart and is like Bodhi.

I only heard the sound of cloud boards outside the hall, and it was time for lunch.

The old monk looked at the old master and the two young ladies, then looked at Li Ye, and said, "Just leave a few people to eat vegetarian food in the temple hall, which can be regarded as the merit of releasing life, and there is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!"

After reading it, he got up and went out the door.

When Li Ye heard this, he looked at a few people and said, "Since it is fate, I will eat in the temple and then go back." Come in and follow me. ”

Agui and the old tailor nodded yes. It's good to eat fasting.

The two young ladies haven't eaten fast in the temple yet, and when they heard that they went to eat, it was a joy, and they followed behind Li Ye, not like the two senior sisters, but like a fart.

When a few people walked to the dining hall, the monks inside had already sat down, and some senior brothers began to distribute food.

Li Ye led a few people into the back door of the dining hall, sat quietly in the last row, took the bowl, and waited for the senior brother to send the food.

With the Venerable Master's offering to the pure Dharma body, the sutra of eating and reciting began. After chanting, you can eat.

The two young ladies followed Li Ye to eat quietly and without speaking.

The first time they fasted, both of them ate a bowl of rice, a bowl of vegetarian dishes, and a bowl of vegetable soup.

After the meal, Vena Master said again that Sadoran began to return, and after all the masters and brothers left, Li Ye led a few people to wash their dishes, and then walked out of the door of the dining hall.

The two young ladies turned their heads, glanced at the dining hall, and said in their hearts: This fasting meal is not so unpalatable, and it will come again in the future.

The old monk went back to the Buddha hall by himself. Li Ye sent a few people out of the temple gate, and said to Agui as he walked: "You don't have to come over tomorrow, I will go back in a few days." ”

looked at the young lady and Dongfang Yu'er and said: "The exercises that Mr. chose for you are useless in these five domains, spend some effort to practice, senior sister can copy Yu'er's share first, if you don't want to copy, go to Mr." ”

The four of them got into two carriages, waved their hands, and turned around and walked into the temple gate.

Dongfang Yu'er and the young lady got into the carriage, waited for the end, and stretched their heads out of the curtain again, looking at the thin figure of Li Shen walking into the mountain gate, and a trace of affection rose in their little hearts......

The young lady looked at Dongfang Yu'er in a daze, pulled her little hand, and said, "Sister Yu'er, do you like this guy? You are only seven years old." ”

Fang Fang Yu'er's little face turned red all of a sudden, she looked at the little sister, and said in her heart: My sister seems to be only one year older than me.

The young lady saw Dongfang Yu'er blushing, and quickly changed the topic: "In the future, I want to go to Li Ye's house to study with my master, and I will go to the Red Sleeve Building with you to play first, okay?"

Dongfang Yu'er nodded and said, "Senior sister, you like Brother Li Ye, right?"

The young lady giggled when she heard this, and said with a serious face: "Well, I said last year that I want him to marry me when he grows up." You can also like him, though. Let's take care of him together, don't let him run away. ”

When Dongfang Yu'er heard this, she couldn't help laughing, her little hand took the little sister's hand, and the two hugged each other and smirked.

A carriage full of laughter, following the carriage of the old tailor of Agui, galloped towards the city.

......

When Li Ye went back to the Buddhist hall, the old monk had already gone back to his room to take a nap.

Burning an incense stick in the furnace, Li Ye kowtowed to the Bodhisattva on the Buddha platform three times, and softly recited the scriptures taught by the master in his mouth.

After sitting for a while, he became tired, so he put his head on the futon, leaned on his side, and fell asleep after a while.

This is the first time that Li Ye has gotten up when he smells the chicken, and he follows the old monk to practice the rituals of the monastery, and it is inevitable that he will make mistakes.

Li Ye, who fell asleep, was still reciting scriptures in his mouth.

The incense in the furnace burns quietly,

There was a faint fragrance around Li Ye's small body.

The Bodhisattva on the Buddha platform is at ease,

Her lowered eyes looked at the disciple she was still cultivating in her dream.

Time is forever, and it is eternal in an instant......
