Chapter XIV

Kong Ming walked out of the Buddha hall and was surrounded by a group of young disciples within a few steps.

"Senior Brother Kong Ming, what are we going to do today?"

"Yes, Senior Brother Kong Ming."

"Uncle Shi, where are you taking us to play today?"

A group of young disciples surrounded Kong Ming, gossiping, some calling him senior brother, and some calling him uncle.

Kong Ming lowered his head slightly and thought for a while: "Let's go, now Senior Brother will take you down the mountain to turn your fate." ”

"Yes, yes."

"Senior brother, do we need anything else to prepare?"

"Yes, yes,"

"What to prepare, bring some money, in case the fate doesn't go well, you can't go hungry." Kong Ming thought about it and said seriously.

A group of young disciples nodded again and again, and they said everything Kong Ming said.

Jiuhua Temple has strict rules and many precepts, and they don't dare to break the precepts easily, and they can go out to relax and play with Kong Ming for several days a month, for this group of seven or eight-year-old children, Kong Ming has become their head.

Kong Ming looked at the children and said, "It's still the old place to meet, don't be late, if anyone is late, I won't wait!" ”

"Okay, okay."

Kong Ming touched Xingzheng's head at hand, the little head was smooth and smooth, and it felt very good.

"Uncle Xiaoshi, you touched my head again, what should I do if I don't grow tall." Xingzheng's fleshy little face was full of unhappiness.

"Uncle Shi is wrong, don't be angry with Xingzheng, Uncle Shi promises that he will never touch Xingzheng's head next time, after going down the mountain, Uncle Shi invites Xingzheng to eat tofu skin buns and sugar gourds, okay."

Kong Ming coaxed the unhappy Xingzheng and made one promise after another.

Xingzheng's fleshy little face smiled at this time.

Kong Ming pinched his little face and said, "I'm happy,"

Kong Ming sent them away, came to the back mountain alone, found the big bluestone he was sitting on and lay down, looking at the blue sky, white clouds, basking in the warm sun, inexplicably a touch of sleep.

"Little uncle, little uncle."

Kong Ming was woken up by Xingzheng, and he opened his eyes to be surrounded by a group of children in the middle, who watched him sleep.

Kong Ming stood up with a carp, said to the children around him, "Let me let go" and jumped down lightly.

"Uncle, let's go."

Xingzheng first runway Kong Ming said.

"Let's go." Kong Ming didn't procrastinate, he just left, and went down the mountain with a group of children.

The road down the mountain is rugged, and when you get used to it, it's the same as an ordinary road, Kong Ming is a person who often habitually runs down the mountain, so it's the same as ordinary people walking on flat ground, and some of the little disciples in the back are going down the mountain for the first time, so they stumble and stumble, and the line is very long.

Kong Ming was wearing a cyan monk's robe like the child behind, with a pair of black cloth shoes on his feet, and a large string of Buddhist beads around his neck, but the difference was that he had thick black hair.

Before Kong Ming and his party reached the bottom of the mountain, they met a pilgrim, and someone who was familiar with Kong Ming asked, "Master Kong Ming is going down the mountain." ”

Kong Ming became very monk at this time, and folded his hands and said, "Yes, donor." ”

The pilgrim replied with a salute and said, "Master Kong Ming had a smooth journey, and so did the little masters in the back." ”

"Thank you, donor."

The little monk in the back said in unison.

The pilgrims smiled and took out the fruit from the basket and divided them one by one.

"Thank you," the little monks said excitedly, this was the first time they had turned into a relationship.

Kong Ming led the little monks, all the way to the fate, while walking down the mountain, their bowls from empty to full, and from full to empty.

When they meet a child, they give away a copy of the bowl, and when they meet a poor family, they give another share, and they give another share......

Therefore their bowls are empty and empty.

………

Along the way, Xingzheng, the youngest child, also became obedient.

didn't make trouble all the way, and didn't argue for Kong Ming to hug him, but did things very seriously.

Walking to the market at the bottom of the mountain, Kong Ming bought eight sugar gourds, one for each person, and they ate sweet sugar gourds in a row, ready to eat tofu skin buns and somen noodles.

Kong Ming took them to the noodle stall he often went to, asked for eight bowls of green vegetable noodles, paid the money and told the boss to come over to eat in a while, and led them to turn a street to buy tofu skin buns.

The steamed buns were bought, the noodles were ready, eight people made two tables, and the boss gave them dried radishes, which were mixed with chili peppers and vinegar, and the sour and spicy were very appetizing.

The little monks recited the Buddha horn before moving their chopsticks.

Xingzheng's little chubby hand, eating somen with chopsticks in one hand, and holding a bun with the other, lowered his head from time to time to take a bite, and his big eyes narrowed happily.

The fleshy little face exudes a happy breath.

After eating the noodles and drinking the last bite of the noodle soup, Xingzheng touched his round little belly with satisfaction.

Xingzheng looked at the clean noodle bowl and said happily to Kong Ming: "Uncle Shi, I've finished eating." ”

Kong Ming: "Okay. ”

As the group left the stall, the guests at the surrounding tables began to speak.

They lowered their heads to eat noodles, and their faces could not be seen clearly, but the quiet aura that emanated from them.

Let the people around you can't help but follow them to keep quiet.

Jiuhua County, because Jiuhua County is named, this place is close to Jiuhua Temple, deeply influenced by Buddhism, the local people are contaminated with Buddhist temple incense, influenced by the culture of Buddhism, the local people are honest and loyal, treat people sincerely and kindly, and because they belong to Jiuhua Temple, under its protection, the local area is free from disputes, and everyone is happy and self-sufficient.

After playing around at the bottom of the mountain, Kong Ming saw that it was not early, so he urged everyone to go back to the mountain, the mountain road was already difficult to walk, and it was even darker, and it was even more difficult to walk.

Everyone reluctantly left the bazaar and walked towards Jiuhua Temple.

Halfway up the mountain, Kong Ming looked at the clean bowl, and suddenly, he felt something, he immediately no longer hesitated to sit down cross-legged and said to Xingzheng: "Xingzheng, you follow your senior brother and them back to the mountain, find my master, and say that I feel something, and I can't walk in the middle of the mountain." ”

"Yes, Uncle Shi."

Xingzheng nodded hurriedly, knowing that this matter was not trivial, and the epiphany was the most taboo to be disturbed.

Xingzheng and his senior brothers did not dare to delay, and everyone rushed forward for fear of affecting Kong Ming.

Kong Ming looked at the steep mountain road and couldn't find a flat place, so he had no choice but to sit on the ground, take out a defensive array plate from his sleeve, and lay out the formation.

Kong Ming let go of the feeling of being pressurized, and the scenes in his mind were all scenes seen when he went down the mountain, and the man in the brocade robe did not hesitate to put gold ingots in his bowl, pestering the little girl whose mother bought sugar gourds, and the beggars begging along the street.

The Buddhist scriptures he used to recite gradually became clearer, and even the "Book of Rites" that he had memorized under the coaxing of his grandfather gradually came to mind.

"Color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and it is the same when you want to know it."

"Full is empty, empty is full."

"The road is also a trip to the world, the world is for the public, the selection of talents and abilities, and the belief and harmony. Therefore, people do not have only their relatives, nor only their sons, so that the old will have an end, the strong will be useful, and the young will grow,... It is said to be the same. ”

Kong Ming's mind was completely immersed in it, and he felt that he had grasped something, but it was not so firm, indescribable, and unclear.

He felt like he saw the Word.

By the time he awoke, the moon had risen, and the bright moonlight shone on the ground, and there was silence around him.

Kong Ming got up from the ground, patted the dust on his clothes, and said to the monk Mingjing standing on the tree, "Master is gone." ”

Monk Mingjing didn't ask Kong Ming what he realized, and the master and apprentice walked forward on foot, just like Kong Ming went down the mountain to play, and was caught by Monk Mingjing and pressed back to the mountain.

The moonlight illuminates the road, and the wind stirs the treetops.

Kong Ming didn't care whether the monk Mingjing listened or not, and said to himself: "I see my future Tao, the road is also, the world is for the public, the avenue is hidden, the world is home, master, do you say I can do it?" ”

Monk Mingjing didn't answer Kong Ming, he just said: "One law, ten thousand laws." ”

Monk Mingjing knew what Kong Ming was afraid of, and he cowered and didn't dare to move forward, because he was cultivating Buddha, but he saw his future path.

He is his master and should give him a push.

Kong Ming didn't say anything, and his expression didn't change much, but the hem of the cyan monk's robe was on the top of his feet, rolling like waves, clearly showing the demeanor of a young man.

Walking to Jiuhua Temple, the temple gate had been closed, and the monk Mingjing slipped into the temple with Kong Mingfei.

For the first time, Kong Ming took the initiative to go to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to kneel on the scriptures.

Monk Mingjing agreed, he knew that Kong Ming's heart was in turmoil and he needed to calm down.
