Liu Xiuxiu was embarrassed by the hot eyes of Master Fakong, pinched the hem of her skirt with both hands, and looked up at Zhang Ning.
Zhang Ning looked at Li Yuanba, who folded his hands and said to Master Fakong: "Master, we Taolin Temple never accept female disciples. ”
"Hey. Hearing this, the heat in Master Fakong's eyes dissipated, sighed, and then folded his hands and whispered the Buddha's name.
"Amitabha, the poor monk is in a good position. It also needs to face the wall for a year. Immediately, Master Fakong honestly did not act like a demon again, and did not know where to take out the pen and paper, write a letter, and put a seal. Folded it, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Zhang Ningdao: "The donor can give this letter to the senior sister of Baiyun Nunnery." ”
"Thank you, Master. Zhang Ning took the envelope and saluted with his hands together.
Master Fakong no longer paid attention to Zhang Ning and Liu Xiuxiu, and without any movement, the whole person turned to the back wall one hundred and eighty degrees, fiddling with Buddhist beads, and reciting Buddhist scriptures in his mouth.
Liu Xiuxiu tilted her little head and didn't quite understand.
"Do you start to face the wall?" Zhang Ning thought. Li Yuanba nodded at Zhang Ning, took the two out of the monk's room together, and closed the door.
"Since the master has begun to face the wall, it is not good for me to be leisurely. Zhang Ning, I'll go get the map, and I'll send you and Xiuxiu, the third sister out of the Shadow Temple, and you can go to Baiyun Nunnery by yourself. ”
Li Yuanba said to Zhang Ning.
"Good. Zhang Ning nodded and said. The little sister of the Li family opened her mouth, her little face collapsed, she and her eldest brother haven't seen each other for 20 years, do you want to separate when you first see each other?
Li Yuanba went back to his monk's room, took out a rough landscape map and handed it to Zhang Ning, and sent Zhang Ning out of the Taoshan Shadow Temple together, and stopped after sending it out for three miles.
The little sister of the Li family hugged Li Yuanba and cried into tears, but after all, she still followed Zhang Ning, turning back three times in one step, until Li Yuanba's figure disappeared from sight.
Zhang Ning picked up the little sister of the Li family and sat on Niu Er's back, and the group went to Baiyun Nunnery.
When people build temples, the names must have a history. For example, Taolin Temple is located in countless peach forests. And Baiyun Temple, listening to the name, seems to stand on the top of the mountain, surrounded by white clouds.
But in fact, Baiyun Nunnery is located on the flat land, sitting in the north and facing south, the north is a large forest, the trees are luxuriant, covering the sky and the sun, the land does not see the sun all year round, the dead branches and moist soil, the smell is not good.
However, Baiyunan is open on three sides, and there are many fertile fields outside the hermitage. It is dotted with many villages, and the villagers basically believe in Buddhism and know some superficial Buddhist martial arts.
Baiyun Nunnery is not big, only one enter. However, the main hall in the north is particularly majestic, with rooms on both sides, a monk's house on one side and a guest house on the other.
The nunnery itself is full of the mottled atmosphere of time, and there are peeling paint and murals everywhere.
This Baiyun Nunnery is not only a Buddhist cultivation sect, but also a secular nunnery. The nuns in the nunnery were both practitioners and received earthly incense for the Buddha.
There are not many nuns in the nunnery, and there are more than ten people who preside over the master Zhishang and his disciples.
There are not many good men and women who come to incense every day, and there are no less.
All in all, it's an ordinary-looking nunnery.
Zhang Ning and his entourage followed the map drawn by Li Yuanba, found the vicinity of Baiyun Nunnery all the way, and landed in a remote place, and then Zhang Ning asked Liu Xiuxiu to sit on Niu Er's back, Zhang Zishan, and the little sister of the Li family walked with him.
The group included the little girl next door, Miss Hao, the boy in white, and a cold and terrible girl in purple shirt, a particularly stout cow.
It really attracted the attention of the names of the nearby villages, but no one came up to interrogate them.
The road was facing the sky, and soon after the group came to the door of Baiyun Nunnery, Zhang Ning looked at it, and there was no one. So he asked Niu Er to stay by the door and lie down, Niu Er glanced at Zhang Ning, flicked his tail and obediently lay down.
Zhang Ning led the group into the Baiyun Nunnery, and the nunnery was also very deserted, only a nun sat on the threshold of the main hall, leaning against the pillar and dozing.
The female nun is only eighteen years old, pink and delicate.
Zhang Ning stepped forward and folded his hands, bent down and saluted, "Little master." ”
"Ahh!!!h
"Poof, what an incompetent nun. The little sister of the Li family snorted and laughed. This made the nun even more red, and even the roots of her ears were red.
Zhang Ning was still calm, and he saluted again: "I'm here to visit Master Zhishang, this is a letter from Master Fakong of Taolin Temple." ”
Zhang Ning took out the letter from his arms and handed it to the nun. The nun was very shy, looking at the letter taken out of Zhang Ning's arms, she was a little embarrassed to take it, but she still took it tremblingly.
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the master. After the nun took the letter, she ran away.
Soon after, the nun came back with another nun, and unlike the shy and timid little nun, this nun who came with her, with a Chinese face, eyebrows, tall and strong, although she wore monk's robes and shaved her head, but she did not have any compassionate appearance of a Buddhist nun.
After coming to Zhang Ning and the others, her eyes swept over me and asked, "Who is the person with the relics?"
Liu Xiuxiu was a little scared, she glanced at Zhang Ningcai and walked out slowly, and said, "It's me." ”
"What's your name?" asked the majestic nun again.
"Liu Xiuxiu. Liu Xiuxiu lowered her head slightly, very nervous.
"I'm the presiding officer of Baiyun Nunnery, the Dharma name is Zhishang, are you willing to enter my door?" asked the majestic nun solemnly.
"I am willing to worship under the master's door and be a lay disciple. Liu Xiuxiu glanced at Zhang Ning again, and then plucked up the courage to say.
But Liu Xiuxiu's personality is soft, and this wise master has a great aura, if it weren't for Zhang Ning's presence, Liu Xiuxiu would have trembled a long time ago.
"Lay disciple?" Master Zhishang's strong sword eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he glanced at Zhang Ning thoughtfully.
"This benefactor, we don't have lay disciples in Baiyun Nunnery. The cowardly nun next to her didn't hold back and spoke.
"But I only want to be a lay disciple, and if I am allowed to escape into the void, I don't want to learn any Dharma. Liu Xiuxiu raised her head bravely and shook her little head like a rattle.
Escaping into the empty door means severing love and vulgarity.
She can't bear her brother Zhang, if she really wants to escape into the empty door, then she doesn't learn any Buddhism.
Master Zhishang's pair of sword eyebrows were even more frowned, and with the face of the Chinese characters, it became more and more serious, Liu Xiuxiu was nervous, but she still looked at Master Zhishang bravely.
"Master Zhishang, we are here to seek the Dharma, if your nunnery does not open a convenient door, we will find another place. Zhang Ning frowned slightly, stepped forward and said.
Not a threat, but a fact.
There are many Buddhist methods, there are temples and nunnery with serious inheritance, and there are also Buddhist methods that are spread in the world.
It's a big deal that Zhang Ning himself is practicing Buddhism while teaching Liu Xiuxiu.
Anyway, he cultivates both Buddhism and Demons.
Master Zhishang's brows loosened, nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Baiyun Nunnery accepts apprentices, and it is not so cumbersome. In addition, Liu Xiuxiu is not a homemaker, so it is even simpler.
Of course, the main thing is that the relics in Liu Xiuxiu's body are not simple, and generally Baiyun'an still has to look at the fate of the apprentices, which is not so simple.
There were no lay disciples in Baiyun Nunnery, but Master Zhishang still made an exception and agreed to accept Liu Xiuxiu, which is why.
Immediately, Master Zhishang summoned all the female nuns in Baiyun Nunnery to prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony in the main hall, while Zhang Ning and others watched the ceremony as guests.
This hall is very grand, magnificent, the main hall is not enshrined in the Buddha, but a female Bodhisattva, this female Bodhisattva has a kind face, the earlobes are drooping, there are eight arms, and the hands are holding the eight treasures of Buddhism, **, conch, treasure umbrella, white cover, lotus, treasure pot, goldfish, plate length.
On both sides are enshrined a row of arhats, Vajra.
The bodhisattva has a kind face and a compassionate face for all sentient beings. Arhat Vajra is either vicious or majestic, and is the protector of Buddhism.
Liu Xiuxiu folded her hands and knelt in front of the female bodhisattva. Master Zhishang stood beside Liu Xiuxiu, a female nun held a monk's robe, a treasure book, and Buddhist beads, and more than a dozen female nuns were chanting sutras or knocking on wooden fish.
Although the ceremony is simple, it is also full of solemnity.
Immediately, Liu Xiuxiu kowtowed to Master Zhishang and called out to Master. Master Zhishang took the monk's robe, treasure book, and Buddhist beads and handed them to Liu Xiuxiu, Liu Xiuxiu stretched out his hand to take it, and Master Zhishang gave Liu Xiuxiu the name "Xuanjing", and the ceremony was completed.
Then, Master Zhishang ordered the nuns to disperse and let the shy nun take Liu Xiuxiu down. Then Master Zhishang looked at Zhang Ning, folded his hands and said, "Master Zhang, can you take a step to speak." ”
Zhang Ning actually knew what the host master wanted to say, nodded, and let the little sister of the Li family, Zhang Zishan, stay, and then followed Master Zhishang out of the main hall and sat down in the side hall.
"Amitabha, the poor nun has something to say, although it shouldn't be said, but it still has to be said. After sitting down, Master Zhishang pronounced a Buddha name, folded his hands and said to Zhang Ning.
"Master, please speak. Zhang Ning clasped his hands together and returned the salute.
"Buddhism is not rude, but Xuan Jing has a relationship with the Buddha, and it is not impossible to achieve the bodhisattva status in the future, and if she becomes a bodhisattva, she must go to the Buddha's side to serve. And by the Buddha's side, you can bathe in the Dharma and enjoy eternal bliss. The love between men and women is not a good thing for her, but a burden. "Master Zhishang has a majestic appearance, and his sword eyebrows are very strong, but his mind is delicate, and he can peek into the truth from the faint place.
first pretended to agree to Liu Xiuxiu to accept him as a lay disciple, but he had a heart to beat the mandarin ducks, and he started from Zhang Ning, with good words and very clever means.
Zhang Ning also felt that with the familiarity shown by this master, it was probably not the first time he had done such a thing.
Although Zhang Ning has a good impression of Buddhism, he also understands that Buddhism has broken off love. If it is a Buddhist monk and a bhikshu is also a man and a woman, there will be no pure place for Buddhism.
But on himself, it is categorically impossible to give up Liu Xiuxiu. Zhang Ning smiled: "Master is kind, I understand. But I am also a layman, and the layman does not understand Buddhist bliss, but only knows the love between men and women in front of him. Xiuxiu and I are destined for this life, even if the Buddha is in front of us, we can't change our hearts. ”
Master Zhishang has a delicate mind, a long life, I don't know how many things I have experienced in this life, how many crazy men and women I have seen, she saw Zhang Ning is clear and wise, her eyes are firm, and her temperament is light and dusty, and she is not a bad person.
They should not be shaken by idleness.
"If it had been back then, I would have overtaken you. Master Zhishang sighed in her heart, her temper in her early years was not as peaceful as she appears now.
When she was younger, she was good at physical transcendence.
Grumpy.
The mantra is.
"There are too many unjust people in this world, and I can't help but take action. ”
If it was according to the temper of the year, Master Zhishang would drive Zhang Ning away first.
However, Master Zhishang didn't know that if she did it, she would definitely be more than successful and more than defeated. Baiyunan will miss Liu Xiuxiu, a disciple with a very relic.
All in all, Master Zhishang is no longer the violent temper he was back then, from a brave general to a strategist, a wise man.
Know how to take a detour.
Seeing that Zhang Ning was not impressed, Master Zhishang started another stove and had another plan in his heart. Master Zhishang said to Zhang Ning: "Buddhism is boundless, but it is roughly divided into two paths, can Master Zhang know it?"
"It is the path of Buddhas, bodhisattvas, arhats, vajra. Zhang Ning nodded and said. He knew this as early as when he was in the Jingshan Sword Sect.
There is also a golden mean, which is to practice both the Dharma and the method of fighting.
But that's actually based on the Dharma, that is, Buddhas, bodhisattvas.
"With Xuan Jing's temperament, let her practice Arhat, Vajra Method, but it can't be done. You can only practice the Dharma. Master Zhishang said again.
"Agreed. Zhang Ning nodded and said.
It was extremely difficult for him to imagine that Liu Xiuxiu was holding a convenient shovel, and then shouted, "Look at the Buddha overtaking you", and then crackled up and fought for a while.
That's just a disobedience.
My family Xiuxiu still sits on the lotus seat and recites "Amitabha".
Master Zhishang looked satisfied when he heard this, and said, "Practicing Buddhism was mainly based on watching Buddhist scriptures at first, and this process took as little as three years or as long as ten years. During this time, Xuan Jing needs to be purified. And my Baiyun Nunnery is also inextricable to keep male guests for a long time, how about inviting the donor to go to a nearby village to settle down during this time?"
This is the strategy of the wise master, the second plan to beat the mandarin duck.
The first strategy is to say that it is good to be born.
The second strategy is time therapy.
In Master Zhishang's view, the love of men and women is a momentary passion, and it is not as eternal as the Dharma. Let Zhang Ning and Liu Xiuxiu live separately and do not communicate for a long time.
Forget about each other.
It's a conspiracy.
Master Zhishang felt a little ashamed in his heart, and thought to himself.
"Amitabha, the poor monk is ashamed of the Buddha. ”
Zhang Ning is naturally very clear about Master Zhishang's thoughts, and he is not stupid.
But he still happily agreed, and said, "Okay, I will never take the initiative to see Xiuxiu during this time." ”
is the so-called mutual affection, not in the morning and twilight.
He believes in himself and in Xiuxiu.
Even if we are separated for a hundred years or ten thousand years, we will still see each other.
Not to mention three or five years?
Master Zhishang, you underestimate us too much.
