The pond in front of the abbot's room is not big, and it is not deep, and this morning a disciple blocked the water inlet, and the water inside was now cleaned, revealing the black silt at the bottom of the pond.

The dredging of monasteries is different from other places because there are always fish and shrimp trapped in the mud and they have to be fished out and released.

Therefore, Li Compassion insisted on having one person first, even if he couldn't start digging, it was good to do the preliminary work first.

It's just that he looked behind him with some worry, the strange monk looked extremely thin, and he didn't know if he could withstand the cold at the bottom of the pool, in case he got sick again. After all, the other party is not a disciple in the temple, let alone a miscellaneous disciple, if there is an accident because of work, it is not good to say.

But before he could ask, the monk actually pulled up his trouser legs, took off his shoes, and jumped into the mud.

He was slightly stunned, the tools hadn't been picked up yet, and he was inevitably too anxious. He hurriedly trotted to fetch a wooden basin that contained half of the water.

He looked left and right again, and there were no other junior disciples passing by, so he could only do it himself, but after glancing at the dark mud and the new shoes on his feet, he didn't have the courage to jump to the bottom of the pool, so he could only place the basin as far as possible to the edge.

The thin monk didn't mind, stepped on the mud with both feet, and put the small fish and shrimp in his hand. He didn't move slowly, his eyes seemed to be good, and before long, the water in the tub was already muddy, and there were many small creatures swimming in it.

"What do you call Senior Brother?" Li Kai threw them upstream and drew water again. glanced at the monk who was still busy at the bottom of the pool, and asked.

It's winter, although it is not frozen, but the weather in the north is extremely cold, and it is definitely not comfortable to stand barefoot in the wet mud. But the monk didn't seem to care at all, and although he looked thin and his face was red from the cold wind, he didn't complain.

At this time, when he heard his inquiry, he didn't look up, his eyes were still patrolling under his feet, and he only replied: "The poor monk's Dharma number is lined." ”

"The poor monk is compassionate." Li Compassion continued to look at him, and then asked, "Why did Master Yuanxing come from?" How could he be unconscious outside the temple? ”

"Forget." The monk named Yuanxing straightened up and looked at him, and said with a smile: "Maybe it's fate." The poor monk has been in your temple since he regained consciousness, but as for how he came, he can't remember at all. With that, he went back to work.

The water is still flowing downstream, and if any creature dies, it is a sin, and it must not be sloppy.

Li Kai raised his eyebrows and looked at him, he didn't expect to get such an answer.

As the largest temple in the north, Chaotian Temple is divided into inside and outside, and the inner courtyard is strictly guarded, and outsiders are generally not accepted. This is not the case in the outer courtyard, which is mixed and relatively lax.

So, suddenly, there were a few more strangers, and few people noticed. Of course, there is still supervision, and if it is a dangerous person, you can't live in it. may be because the other party has no martial arts and is physically weak, so it is logical to stay in the outer courtyard after being rescued. It's just that......

Li Compassion secretly slandered himself in his heart. It's no wonder that as a senior brother, he is used to drilling camps, but he can only be powerful in the miscellaneous courtyard. This person is high and low, and his vision is really problematic. The monk in front of him, just looking at his conversation and indifferent temperament, is obviously not comparable to a "wild monk", but in the mouth of the concept, he is called a waste person, isn't he a monk if he doesn't know martial arts?

It's just that how could such a person suddenly faint outside the temple without illness or injury?

"I think Master Yuanxing has an extraordinary bearing, he shouldn't be a bad person, the poor monk is willing to make a guarantee, and you will leave the order here, and you don't have to go to the miscellaneous house to help in the future." Li said tentatively, then glanced at the other party's short, which was obviously shorter, and said, "I can also get your robe back." ”

"Then thank you Master Li, it's really inconvenient to stay in the outer courtyard." Yuan Xing hurriedly opened his mouth to thank him, but he paused again, lowered his eyes and smiled lightly: "As for that robe, it should be a reward for the kindness of the first seat of the idea." No need to mention it again. ”

Li looked at each other appreciatively, it was really kind, but then he sighed slightly in his heart, in his eyes, the monk should be calm and peaceful, if in the eyes of some vulgar people, I am afraid that he will only think that this person is easy to bully......

In the evening, after a tiring day, the miscellaneous servants returned one after another, and Yuanxing also returned to the room with his companions, but before he could rest for a while, the first disciple Zhi arbitrarily kicked open the door and skimmed him disdainfully: "Yuanxing, now is not the time to rest, the ground of our miscellaneous courtyard has not been swept yet, and the water in the water tank is not full......"

Yuan Xing had no choice but to regain his spirits and carry a broom out of the room.

"First seat, this monk is not from our miscellaneous academy after all, isn't this bad?"

"What's wrong? However, the fallen wild monk who doesn't know the origin, look at his clear appearance, and look at it, he will be angry......"

The faint sound of conversation behind him made Yuan Xing pause, then shook his head with a smile, and continued to work......

Chaotian Temple is very famous in the north, so there is never a shortage of miscellaneous servants in the Miscellaneous Servant Temple. There are many people, and they are a mixture of dragons and snakes, and although they have shaved their heads like monks, only a few people in charge are real monks. Ordinary miscellaneous servants, either because they are poor and want to find a way to live, or they are determined to practice martial arts but cannot get started.

Because although you have to work here, you will also be taught martial arts, and if you perform well, you will be included in the door wall and become an official disciple of Chaotian Temple.

Therefore, the status of the first disciple here is very high, and it can be said that he has the power of life and death of the miscellaneous servants, and he naturally speaks in a word.

Although the miscellaneous courtyard of Chaotenji Temple is located in a remote area, it also has a variety of facilities. If you really want to talk about it, the work of carrying water and cleaning is not tiring, but it is just going back and forth, which takes a long time.

Therefore, the handymen who have worked all day want to rest early, and no one wants to do it, so they all take turns to do it in the past. And after the fate traveled here, he was somehow very unpopular with the concept of the first seat, and he has undertaken this kind of work for two consecutive days.

His body is naturally not as good as when he was in his prime, and it takes him longer than others. By the time he had laboriously poured the last two buckets of water into the water tank, he had already made a plank.

After cleaning up, I went back to my residence in the dark, and the snoring in the room was like thunder, and the smell of sweat and foot odor rushed to my nose. Yuan Xing didn't care, touched his bed, sat cross-legged, and began to settle down, feeling the slightest change in his body.

To say sadly, his soul had left his body before, who knew that the golden light flashed in front of him, and when he woke up again, he was already lying on this couch.

The royal robe that he wore when he was dying also came to the body of the first idea. Fortunately, the other party still had some bottom line and didn't touch his robe.

When asked about the details, he was also confused, and he picked what he could say, but the other party was naturally dissatisfied. But he asked to leave, but people didn't allow it. insisted that he had ill intentions and could only leave after being confirmed to be harmless.

In order to avoid trouble, he could only live temporarily, and then became a supernumerary miscellaneous servant in the miscellaneous office.

His current physical condition was very strange, his vitality was weak but long, and he did not have obvious signs of weakness at all like when he was in Tianchan Temple. But what if you're done, okay? The muscles and veins are broken, and once you are lucky, your whole body will sting.

However, as he said before, martial arts supernatural powers are very convenient, but they may be an obstacle to cultivation, and it doesn't matter if they are gone. Maybe it's more conducive to cultivation.

But how did you come here, and why did you come?

Yuan Xing has been reminiscing, trying to find his memory, whether he made any great vows when he worshiped the Buddha before. Well, others may be able to practice it after taking a vow and entering reincarnation, but his situation may be more complicated?

Or, before the opportunity comes, you can't die, and there is still cause and effect to end in this life?

Moreover, this time he actually returned to the Dali Dynasty where Huaizhen was located, and he had a hunch that his fate was likely to fall on Huaizhen. It's a pity that he doesn't know how long it has been since he left this world last time, but he doesn't know if Huaizhen has grown up and whether he has become a monk.

Of course, since this is the case, these thoughts only turn around when you first wake up, and then you don't think about it anymore, because it is useless to think too much, but it will annoy you, and you can only deal with it in peace! You can practice anywhere, and there is no point in forcing liberation.

It's not meaningless to come back on your own, just do it and see, and let it be!

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

The next day, Li Compassion arrived at the miscellaneous courtyard early as agreed, and left directly with Yuanxing, and from beginning to end, he didn't look at the smiling concept behind him.

It's easy to have acquaintances, and Zhike obviously has a good relationship with Li Compassion, so he didn't inquire much, so he put up an order for Yuanxing.

Later, Li Compassion enthusiastically took him to the dormitory, and even sent him a full set of bedding in the evening, and even an old robe of his own.

"Somehow, as soon as I saw Master Yuanxing, I felt cordial." In the face of Yuanxing's thanks, Li Yi just smiled and waved his hand.

Monks who have placed orders and do not have positions in the monastery are naturally not likely to be arranged in separate rooms. Instead, he lived with a dozen people.

I will also do some work on weekdays, but I am not tired, it is much better than the miscellaneous house, and the roommates love to be clean, and they will always pay attention when snoring, and try not to disturb others.

Regardless of one's state of mind, it is always a blessing to have an improved situation. Therefore, Yuan Xing is more grateful and sympathetic in his heart.

And as Li Compassion said, he seems to really fall in love with Yuanxing, and when he is not busy, he always spends time chatting and drinking tea with Yuanxing, and in this way, the two quickly became friends.

One day after that, Yuan Xing suddenly knew why the other party fell in love with him.

Li was born as a commoner, and his family was wealthy when he was young, because his father was an excellent blacksmith, and his exquisite craftsmanship was more famous in Fucheng. It is said that when he was very young, the signboard of his family collapsed, and if it had not been for the rescue of a flower monk in the town, he would have died.

Since then, his parents began to worship the Buddha devoutly, even if the whole family was sent to the north by the imperial court, they always brought the compassion of the children at that time into the monastery, gradually, he also admired the Dharma, at the age of fifteen after his mother also died, he officially shaved the ordination in Chaotian Temple, and now six years have passed.

It's a pity that he was too young at the time to have no memory of what happened back then, and his father died early, so he didn't even know the name of his benefactor until now. And my hometown is too far away from here, and I am not in a position to inquire.

When Li Qi said this, his tone was full of regret.

Yuan Xing's expression became extremely strange, and when he asked about his hometown, it was Taichuan Town in Ningshui Prefecture, Yizhou, as he guessed.

"Plant good causes and get good results, and the law of cause and effect is really mysterious." After Li Kai left, Yuan Xing narrowed his eyes, couldn't help laughing, and sighed softly: "Did the kid who wasn't knee-high back then grow so big?" ”

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

Chaotian Temple is not a temple of Zen Buddhism, but there are countless Buddhist temples, although the rules are very different, but there is one thing that is generally common, that is, purity.

It is worthy of being a thousand-year-old temple, there are many kinds of books in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, in addition to the martial arts cheats, the rest of the scriptures and notes and other monks in the temple can be viewed at will.

Recently, there seem to be some distinguished guests in the temple, and Li Compassion has become very busy, and there are fewer comes. Yuan Xing has been relying on going to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to read to pass the free time, and live a peaceful and comfortable life.

On this day, he turned to a book that he had not read before, and sat down in a corner in a good mood, ready to read and study it carefully.

But before he could finish the opening paragraphs, Li Compassion hurriedly ran over, and when he saw Yuan Xing, he opened his mouth and asked, "What is the origin of the senior brother?" Is it really the Tianzenji Temple you are talking about? ”

Yuan Xing replied strangely: "If the monks don't speak, I didn't lie to you." ”

"Can that senior brother have any contact with people in the royal family? Where did the robe you wore when you passed out come from? Li Qi asked, saw that Yuan Xing lowered his eyes and did not answer, and sighed: "This is a disaster, the idea is wearing your robe to swagger, and he was bumped into by the guests in the temple, and the other party insisted that it was a thing in the palace." Speaking of this, he gritted his teeth: "According to the nature of the concept, I am afraid that I would have confessed my senior brother a long time ago."

Yuan Xing frowned, and was about to continue asking, when someone came in from the scripture building, but it was two law enforcement monks with sticks.

Probably because he couldn't confirm the true identity of Yuanxing, the law enforcement monk did not treat him rudely, but politely invited him to the main hall.

Yuan Xing sighed, this is really a disaster. His robe is a real imperial gift, and the workmanship of the materials is excellent, but the key thing is that it was Emperor Dayong who gave him the robe, and he can't fight with the eight poles of the Dali Dynasty.

Could it be that some unique mark has misunderstood the people here? But how do you explain this?

He glanced at the two monks beside him with big shoulders and round waists, he couldn't run away, and besides, he didn't do anything wrong, and the so-called distinguished guest might not be able to do anything to him. Forget it, let's take it one step at a time.

He slowly packed up his books and walked out of the Scripture Pavilion.

Li Compassion is full of anxiety, he is good friends with Yuanxing, and he has heard him say his origins, but he has never said that he has anything to do with the royal family. This is really to use the things used by the royal family, and if you can't get it, you will be killed.

Thinking like this, he also followed behind, he was quite respected by the elders in the temple, if it was really a disaster, he could still intercede.

But he looked at Yuan Xing's calm face, could it be that the other party still had any secrets to hide from him? He felt like his friend couldn't figure it out again.
