Chapter 1: Hunger
In the early morning, the sky gradually brightened, and the sun dyed the peaks with a layer of glow. The bell of Tianchan Temple rang again.
"Master." A middle-aged monk dressed in a hundred robes held a child in his arms, hurriedly rushed into the hospital, and shouted urgently: "Look, this little benefactor is lying outside the temple gate, and he can't wake up, is he sick?" ”
"Don't panic." With a deep sigh, an old monk with white eyebrows and thin eyebrows paced out of the meditation room, and when he saw the situation in the monk's arms, he sighed bitterly: "Alas, now the court of the Tartars is so chaotic, and I don't know which family can't survive and gave up the child. He reached out and picked up the child.
"It's okay to just be asleep." Placing the child on the bed, the old monk first checked his pulse and looked at him carefully, but saw that the child looked four or five years old, his skin was as clear as jade, and even the top of his head was white, and he was born bald without even hair follicles. Raising his arm again, a lotus flower pattern on his wrist shone golden in the morning light through the screen window of the meditation room. couldn't help laughing: "The Buddha descended from the sky, and he should have a relationship with my temple." ”
--------
Qin Kong's father is a Chinese professor, his mother is a business executive, he is also a small rich second generation, he does not smoke or drink, he is handsome and kind, he thinks he is not very smart but is easier to satisfy, and he has no complaints about his life.
Who knew that the world would change when he realized it
Unlike him, who graduated from Earth and could only stay at home and work as a freelancer, Qin Kong in this world continued his studies in materials science and was a hard-working future scientific researcher, who began to lose his hair at the age of 26.
This makes a certain scumbag miserable after accepting this body, how difficult it is to continue to pick up after throwing away so many years of study, you say that you will cross, you will cross it, you will leave some IQ, but it didn't. Now he is a scumbag with the title of the god of learning, no, in just half a month, he has been scolded almost every day, and the boss has trained him every time to the point that there is no scum.
It is in this case, in order to relax and make some plans for the future by the way, Qin Kong took advantage of the long holiday to sign up for a tour group and go out with his bag, the scenic spot he picked was the Rouge Lake in the province, it is said that the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the scenery is pleasant, and he chose here for the following three points, close to home and not remote; Many tourists are popular; The traffic is convenient, the signal is good, and the result is --
Is there anything more painful than a sudden crossing? Yes, it's two crossings. Qin Kong tried hard to recall, but he couldn't figure out how he came to this temple.
Raising his arm, the golden lotus tattoo on the inside of his left wrist is particularly eye-catching. The reason why there is this tattoo is to cover up the scar left by an accident in an experimental class in the junior year, and it is precisely because of this accident that Qin Kong from the two worlds chose different paths. Speaking of which, this pattern is still my own choice, how can I not be familiar with it? Well, I'm sure it was the body that came with me this time, and it turned into a five-year-old kid.
As a traverser, Qin Kong thought that he might be the worst one, and the second crossing became a child born bald, and he also became a little novice who ate fasting and recited Buddha in Tianchan Temple.
It is now the third year of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yellow River in the Central Plains is flooded with plagues, and natural and man-made disasters have led to starvation everywhere. In contrast, this little-known Tianchan Temple, hidden in Wutou Mountain, is undoubtedly a pure land outside the world.
Qin Kong was full of despair after being told all this by the old monk, he didn't think about going down the mountain, but ancient times are not as good as modern times, not to mention the poisonous snakes and beasts on the way down the mountain, just his small body of a few years old is afraid that he can't even walk to the small village at the foot of the mountain, even if he goes down the mountain, where can he go without relatives and no reason? Beggars in troubled times? It's better to stay here. So in the eyes of several monks with high hopes, he could only reluctantly accept the fate of being a monk. Anyway, it's bald, but it's also trouble-free.
Tianchan Temple is an ascetic temple, covering a small area, including only 7 people, few people, and the relationship is harmonious. According to "Hongzi Youke, Fuyuan Shanqing, Dinghui Yuanming, Yongzong Jue", Qin Kong and other disciples are Yuanzi generations, and his law name: "Yuanxing".
The abbot of the master Bo Fushan is a casual person, and he is not very in charge, and he usually retreats and rarely comes forward. He has profound Buddhism, and it is said that his martial arts are unfathomable, and Qin Kong has never seen him make a move, but he is convinced. Because the abbot is the oldest in the temple, he is over 70 years old, but his face looks like a middle-aged man, it is said that it is because of the cultivation of the exercises, which makes Qin Kong envious. The abbot is the idol of the elder brother, and every time he talks about him, his face is full of envy.
Master Fuguang is a serious little old man, named Jian Si is the work of the abbot, the second generation of disciples are all from his old man's family, he determined that Qin Kong is what kind of Buddha descended from heaven, the temple affairs are handed over to the big disciple, and he is dedicated to teaching this youngest closed disciple, and he can't wait to grow his eyes on Qin Kong all day long. The hope of his heart is that Qin Kong will be able to achieve positive results in the future.
The third uncle Fude practiced closed-mouth meditation, with a tense face all day long, and loved the waist and crotch ring knife to patrol inside and outside the temple, and the senior brother said that he was the first knife hand in Tianchan Temple, and he was a model of not much cruel words.
The eldest elder brother in the second generation of disciples, known as Yuanfa, grew up in the temple since he was a child, and is the future abbot by default. Because he envied the master's chic, he was reprimanded by the master, and it is estimated that the master vented all his grievances against the other master. He didn't care, he still smiled.
The second senior brother Yuanchen is dedicated to the Buddha, does not practice martial arts, and in addition to working on weekdays, the rest of the time is either chanting scriptures or participating in Zen. The senior brother said with a mysterious face that he was born in a high-ranking family of the Han nationality and became a monk after seeing through the red dust. Qin Kong couldn't help but ask the reason curiously, so he was slapped in the face: "What do children do when they ask so much?" ”
The third senior brother Yuankong and the second senior brother are said to be small, and the two families are still world friends, but unfortunately they are not descendants, because of the second senior brother, he was also sent to the temple by the family in the name of praying for his grandmother. He didn't do it voluntarily, so he wanted to be vulgar the most. "He's a wonderful person." The elder brother said.
Hey? Why did the senior brother say it? Yes, the senior brother has good martial arts, treats people well and has no arrogance, the only drawback is that he loves to talk a lot. This may have something to do with his experience, as a senior disciple of this generation who learned how to manage the monastery early on, he was the busiest, and he was also the most knowledgeable of the senior brothers, he often went down to the mountains to change his fate, and he was involved in miscellaneous matters such as dealing with the government.
When Qin Kong entered the temple, the third senior brother was not yet twenty years old, and he was an outlier in the temple, not like a monk at all. Practice is diligent, chanting is foolish, his eyes are bright - is the kind of thief bright, in the temple big mistakes do not make small mistakes constantly, although the master sees him headache, but always say that he has a wisdom root, laughing and scolding heart has a great freedom, has seen him more than once carrying a pipa in the back mountain in the remote place silently played, that technique can be called a stunt, the third senior brother himself said that it was from his mother, presumably their mother-son relationship is very good, so homesick.
As for Qin Kong, who looked the youngest in the whole temple, he also wanted his parents and relatives, but unfortunately he had nowhere to go alone, and he was also small and weak, so he could only passively accept everything arranged by the master and wanted to resist? They will crush you with one hand.
After all, he is a mature adult in his bones, he can recognize traditional Chinese characters smoothly, and he learns the precepts quickly, and the senior brother arranged for him to clean the courtyard in the morning, which is very easy, and the pressure on the first year of the monk is not great, but he is hungry!
Because the monks in the temple practice martial arts, there will be a medicinal meal to nourish qi and strengthen bones every three days, but in addition to this, there is only one meal at noon, not to mention the amount of clear soup and little water. But modern people not only have to eat well, but also eat well, Qin Kong himself is a foodie, not to mention being more particular, how can he ever suffer from this kind of suffering from not eating well and not being full? He secretly complained to himself, no wonder the eminent monks and great virtues can burn relics, skip breakfast, and don't have stones. That is, usually eat less salt and less calcium, otherwise the stone will not hurt to death. He once expounded on the disadvantages of one meal a day, but unfortunately people were small, and the master only said that he couldn't practice.
In just three days, he wilted, and he had no energy to do anything. Senior Brother Yuanfa was in charge of the work of the dining hall this year, and he was still smiling when he saw this, but since then, there has been the most food in Qin Kong's bowl every time he has a main meal.
The second senior brother didn't make any big senses, and persuaded him that he was not hungry if he didn't move, and wanted to teach him meditation on the spot, but he was stopped by the senior brother: "The little junior brother has just come into contact with Buddhism, and he learned meditation too early, so I am afraid that he will miss his practice." The second senior brother sighed.
The third senior brother Yuankong and the second senior brother took care of the yam garden and farmland together, because of convenience, he could always find some pear, hawthorn, pine cones, walnuts and other kinds of food in the mountains, and secretly stuffed them, so that Qin Kong hid them and ate them slowly.
The master saw it in his eyes, and only said that the family members purified their bodies and minds to get rid of delusions, and one meal was enough, but he turned a blind eye to the small actions of a few disciples in private.
In this way, Qin Kong's body is five years old, and the feeling of the first year of monkhood: hungry!
