If there is one thing that is the biggest activity of a Zen temple in winter, it must be the "Zen Seven".

Tianchan Temple generally beats seven in a row, that is, the temple is concentrated in the meditation hall up and down, and continues to practice penance for 49 days.

However, because of the extension of the penalty period at that time, he missed out, including the good results of surveillance.

When he passed the "sentence" smoothly, he caught up with another major event in the temple.

Approaching the New Year, the senior brother officially took over the position of abbot, and the second senior brother Yuanchen took over the responsibility of the master supervising the temple. As early as many years ago, a group of elders didn't care about things, and they have always managed big and small things, and now it is justified to go through the process.

In this way, only Yuan Xing is left without a title among the second generation of disciples.

If you refer to the template of the previous generation, Yuan Xing should take over the work of the third uncle's inspection of the hospital, but he still walks back and forth every day with a ring knife, rain or shine, and it seems that he has no intention of retiring early.

In the end, the elder brother made a decision and gave him the name of the owner.

Yuan Xingle took it, anyway, it's really just a nice name.

The main function of the Tibetan master in the jungle of Buddhism is to manage the work of the scripture building. There are few villains in the Tianchan Temple, and the collective work must be participated, and the rest of the chores are done by everyone in turns.

But he really thought it was simple, since he "took office", the rest of the monks perfectly bypassed the scripture building when they assigned chores.

So the scriptures are up and down the floor, and he is really the only one who is in charge. Organize your collection, repair doors and windows, wipe down bookshelves, and sweep the floor......

After working for a few days, he finally came back to his senses, this, isn't this just a sweeping monk?

-------------

After the New Year, the weather began to gradually warm, and Yuan Xing planned to take out the books in the library to dry.

However, he looked at the dazzling array of books, and it was a lot of work.

So, as soon as the morning class ended on the second day, Yuanxing directly found Shanguo, who was in charge of the assigned work, and asked him directly.

Uncle Shi's face must be given, and he didn't dare not give it, so he arranged for two junior brothers to help without saying a word.

Who knew that the fate was not satisfied, and when he saw that Shanguo seemed to be very idle, he dragged him on.

Sufficient manpower is faster than a person working with a stuffy head, and it didn't take long for the courtyard in front of the scripture building to be covered with books. Yuan Xing squatted on the ground with a few teachers and nephews, checking the books one by one for insects, and this work was a whole day.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Yuan Xing gave another order, and everyone began to gather and collect the books and put them back into the building.

When passing by Shanguo's side, Yuan Xing glanced at the other party's face, and frowned unhappily: "Isn't it just to do some work?" Why is it still sad.

The work of drying Buddhist scriptures is a bit of a toss, so it won't be so bitter and hateful, right?

"Alas. Uncle Shi misunderstood. Shanguo first sighed, glanced around, and said depressedly: "Master beat me yesterday. ”

Yuan Xing suddenly realized, he said that Shanguo is not a lazy person, so he will not sulk because he forced him to work, and then he said indifferently: "Just beat, you must have made a mistake." ”

"Master is too unreasonable, the disciples are so old, and it is really embarrassing to be beaten in front of people......" Shanguo stated in a sullen tone, but before he finished speaking, he was immediately slapped in the back.

"Who do you say is disgraced?" Yuan Xing raised his eyebrows and scolded.

"I ......" Shanguo was stunned, and it took him half a day to react, if you want to say shame, the person in front of him has been punished for a long time a long time, and one day he was beaten by his ancestor and his nose was swollen, isn't it worse than him?

He wanted to open his mouth to explain, but Yuan Xing just looked at him lightly and admonished: "Have you forgotten the rules and precepts of the temple? I don't know how to reflect on my own mistakes, but talk about the teacher behind my back, and it's light to beat you. Then he ignored him and went about his own work.

The next day, the sky was still very good, and the nephew who helped yesterday came again, but there were fewer good fruits and more good Ming Xiao Shami.

"The senior brother confessed to the abbot and uncle, and asked to think about it behind closed doors." Shanming explained in a whisper.

"So you're here for him?" Yuan Xing looked at the teenage novice in front of him playfully, although the other party had made him hungry for three days, he did not have the slightest resentment in his heart. When I think of the appearance of Xiao Shami's blushing face and pretending to have diarrhea, I feel funny.

The latter nodded again and again, and when he agreed, he joined the ranks of moving books, but when doing things, because of his young age, he seemed to jump out of the way, and even screamed at the sight of a bug.

Yuan Xing looked funny on the side, but he didn't expect that someone like the second senior brother would accept such a lively mantle disciple.

Yes, among the juniors, Shanming's identity is different, because he is the only disciple under the second senior brother of Yuanxing, Yuanchen, don't look at the youngest, but it has been six or seven years since he started.

It's just that I didn't expect that for so many years, this child has not been affected by the quiet and serious and old-fashioned fate, which can be regarded as an outlier.

It took four busy days in a row to finish sorting out and drying the books in the library. This work doesn't seem heavy, but not only do you have to spread out each book, but you also have to sort out and summarize it in different categories after that, and you are really busy with people.

After evening class, he deliberately picked two scriptures and went back to his room, and finally was in the mood to make himself a pot of tea, and then enjoy the bad time of reading.

It was also a coincidence that no sooner had the flame of the small stove risen than someone came to his room.

He walked into the meditation room with a smile, sat down by the stove, and said, "Shanguo told me that your words made him repent." "When he took over as the abbot and presided over the morning and evening classes and Buddhist affairs, the senior brother was as serious as he was, but in private, he was still the kind one who smiled.

Yuan Xing also smiled when he heard this: "What is the sudden repentance? It's just a living example in front of you. With my uncle as an example, doesn't he know what to do? ”

"You." Yuanfa raised his finger and pointed at Yuanxing, shook his head helplessly, paused, but suddenly sighed worriedly, and then said again: "Prepare, you will go to Beijing with the master tomorrow." After all, the old man is old, and I feel more relieved to have you by my side to take care of me. ”

"So early? What is it that has to be brought forward by the master? The latter frowned, he heard some news when he was punished last year, but because he was not good at asking, he forgot about his busy work after that, thinking that he would have to wait until after spring ploughing, but he didn't expect it to be so early, and he didn't expect that the master would also go, you must know that the old monk has not stepped out of the monastery for 20 years, and he is nearly 90 years old, how can he endure the pain of running around at such an old age?

"You don't wonder why the master is called the abbot, and I can only be the abbot when I take over" Yuan Fa looked at him with strange eyes, although he knew that the little junior brother had always not paid much attention to the world, but with such an obvious difference, he was not curious at all?

"Of course it's strange, but when I asked the second senior brother, he only said that it was inconvenient and didn't tell me at all." At this time, the water was already ready, Yuan Xing's hand kept moving, and after a while, the tea was ready, and he poured it for the senior brother first, and then said something as if complaining.

The older generation didn't dare to look for it, and the juniors didn't seem to know, the second senior brother didn't say it, the senior brother was too busy, and he could only keep the doubts in his heart.

"The old man traveled the world and made a wide range of friends, and his reputation in the north was outstanding. When the Tartar Emperor heard about it, he issued a decree to give the prime minister the title of abbot of the twenty-eight monasteries in the north. Yuanfa took a sip of tea before slowly explaining: "I really didn't want to do things for the imperial court, but I couldn't refuse, so my uncle could only take it, but he never officially took office." Later, when I returned to the mountains to meditate, I didn't have any thoughts about it. But in the first few years, there were many people who visited the mountain, and the name of the 'abbot' was confirmed. Seeing that the old man did not mean to go down the mountain to meddle in other people's temples, he gradually came less, and when you entered the mountain, the situation in the north was chaotic, and no one came. ”

"I see." Yuan Xing suddenly realized.

"The governor of the Governor's Mansion is a man of great opportunity, even if he is to see his son, he does not come to visit in person, and he stays for three days." Yuan Fa continued: "Isn't it because the prestige of the master is too great, and there is no one in the northern Buddhism sect who is unsurpassed? ”

"So, what's going on? Is it worth doing this? Yuan Xing asked again.

"I told you five years ago that some people in the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism are very concerned about the decline of spiritual energy. Over the years, quite a few people have lobbied in the DPRK and China to make some moves. "Yuanfa drank the tea in one gulp.

"If you are in your heart, you will be in your heart? The change of aura is providential, and no one can control it. Yuan Xing picked up the teapot and refilled it, and said indifferently. He's been six hundred years later,

"What if I say someone has found a way to revive the aura?" Yuanfa suddenly narrowed his eyes and said word by word.
