Chapter 23: Monks are hard to do

Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Xuyuan, you have violated the precepts, although there is a reason for the incident, it was to save people, but this kind of flamboyant tongue is not the style of our monks." Seeing that Yao Zhutou was indeed far away, Cixiang's face turned pale, and he said in a tone of lesson.

In addition to the precepts of the mouth, which is the fourth of the five precepts of Buddhism, there are also killing, stealing, fornication, and drinking.

"Yes, and you swore a poisonous oath just now, it is really disrespectful to deceive the Buddha so blatantly." Xuyuan also blamed on the side.

"Hehe, it was the little monk who swore just now, I am Xuyuan, are these two people? Senior Brother Xuyuan, am I called the little monk? Since it was not my oath, how could I deceive the Buddha? Moreover, the Buddha is like a sea-minded, how can he talk about this mistake of mine? Besides, saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, and this is also a good thing for me, and the Buddha and his old man will definitely understand Xuyuan's painstaking efforts."

At a young age, no matter how thick his face is or his superb acting skills, he is first-class.

"Alas, you really, let me say hello ......" Although Ci Xiangyan felt reasonable, but he felt that the cunning of the void circle was even better, he didn't listen to his admonition at all, and looked anxious.

At this time, Tianchen on the wooden board let out a few coughs, and his eyelids slowly opened, full of misty color.

"Alas, Uncle Shi, this kid is awake, come and take a look." Xuyuan said happily.

Hearing this, Ci Xiang glared at Xuyuan, walked quickly to the bed, checked his pulse, and asked for warmth.

The little monk shrugged his shoulders, stuck out his tongue, made a playful appearance, and came to the wooden board in three or two steps, and asked where Tianchen came from, where he was going, and so on.

Tianchen is not a stupid and mediocre person, his limbs are weak at the moment, his body is weak, and he needs to recuperate, so he naturally does not want to offend the other party, and he will say everything he can say clearly.

Although Tianchen has gone through a lot of hardships, his mind is no longer comparable to children of the same age, but he is only thirteen years old after all, and he is frightened by these two or three sentences, and his heart is a little loose.

That's the point!

On the way to escape, Tianchen and his party ran out of food many times, and they were already hungry and afraid.

The people take food as the sky!

Under the instigation and intimidation of Xuyuan, coercion and temptation, Tianchen took the initiative to succumb, and when he didn't know what a monk was, he rashly joined Foguang Temple and became a trainee monk with honor!

Tianchen's physical recovery ability is amazing, after eating a fast, that afternoon, Tianchen was able to get out of bed and walk, although it is not a good walk, but it is still easy to help Cixiang take it and pick it up.

Ci Xiang was worried, said a few words, Tianchen did not listen to persuasion, Ci Xiang saw that he was indeed ruddy, the complexion was quite good, so he did not insist.

In the evening, after seeing off the last patient, Ci Xiang was ready to rest.

The next day, before dawn, the little monk Xuyuan came to the house, woke Tianchen up, and dragged the half-asleep Tianchen to the Foguang Temple on the top of the mountain.

The field outside the main hall was full of monks of all sizes, and at a glance, there were about 300 people.

or white eyebrows, or long hair and chest-length, these old monks are almost all over the age of sixties, but Tianchen feels that they look tough, and their manners are natural and free, which shows that they are not shallow, and they have a good martial arts.

"Knock, knock, knock." The bell rang suddenly, three times in a row, the bell was pleasant, loud and melodious, and slowly spread to all directions with the sunrise in the east.

Tianchen was dragged to the front of the team by the void circle, Tianchen didn't dare to hold it up, bowed his head and bowed his hand, and met the five old monks.

"Meet the seniors."

"Well, I heard Xuyuan say, you want to join our Foguang Temple? Now the old man asks you again, are you really willing to join our Foguang Temple?" An old monk in the middle of the process, with a kind and kind face, asked.

Tianchen's mind hadn't woken up yet, and after hearing the words, he automatically asked the question he was most concerned about: "Do monks have anything to eat?"

The old monk was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Of course, as long as you join our Foguang Temple, you can open up a barren field under the mountain, and you can grow whatever you want to eat."

"That's okay, as long as you have something to eat, you can do anything." Tianchen looked excited.

"Amitabha, then you come in with a few of us."

The old monk chanted a Buddha name, turned around and walked towards the main hall.The other four people also glanced at Tianchen, saw that his eyes were full of simplicity, they all smiled, and also followed into the hall.Xuyuan pulled the corner of Tianchen's clothes, signaling him to go in quickly.Tianchen was ignorant, and also followed the old monk and entered the main hall.

The old monk took Tianchen to a large Buddha statue in the center of the main hall, pointed to a futon, and motioned for him to sit cross-legged.

"Come, sit down, I will personally shave for you, eliminate disasters and cut off dust, but all the past, from now on you will jump out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements, take refuge in my Buddha, promote the Dharma, induce the world to follow the path of goodness, cut off all suffering."

Tianchen acted according to the instructions of the old monk.

A person walked out of the inner hall with a wooden plate in his hand.

Ci Xiang walked to the old monk's side, quietly watched all this, and did not say a word.The old monk picked up the razor in the wooden plate and began to perform the entrance ceremony for Tianchen, while picking his hair, while saying some forbidden rules in the door.

What are the five precepts and eight precepts, the three pure precepts, etc., Tianchen is not very literate, he is dizzy when he listens, confused, and his heart is full of doubts.

After the shaving ceremony, Tianchen wore a big bald head and officially became a member of Foguang Temple.

"Cixiang, since this son is still injured, let's follow you, you have to teach well, don't let him move his heart again." The old monk spoke.

"Yes, in accordance with the abbot's decree." The Cixiang on the side did not have a different color, and then looked at Tianchen, who was still in the meditation, and said: "Tianchen, since you have entered the empty door, then cut off all mortal dust, and don't mention the word Tianchen again.

"Thank you, Master, for remembering." Tianchen learned from them, folded his hands, opened his eyes, and bowed to the Buddha statue in front of him.

In order to avoid the tragic fate of the army, most of the boys in some nearby villages and towns entered Foguang Temple, which caused the number of monks to swell to more than 300 people.

The life of a monk is not as idle as Zhong and the elders in the village said.Tianchen just arrived at Foguang Temple, he is a newcomer, although everyone abides by their duties, but after all, the forest is big, what kind of strange birds have it.

Originally, each person needed to pick up two jars of water a day, one was for daily needs, and the other was to clean the Buddha statues, but within two days, the number of tanks that Tianchen needed to carry water became six tanks, and after two days, it became twelve cylinders!

Tianchen is a newcomer, in addition to carrying water, there are other things to do, how can there be so much time to be a good person, such as reclaiming wasteland and using it for farming, otherwise a year will pass, he will have to beg for food in the temple.

In addition, Tianchen also has to help Master Cixiang from time to time, because Tianchen is illiterate, Cixiang is afraid that he will make the wrong medicinal materials, and he also has a fixed amount of time every day to teach him to read and write.

For the oppression of his peers, Tianchen thought about resisting, but this time, he found that his original invincible tricks among the refugees were useless.

Up and down the Foguang Temple, everyone practices martial arts, this is common sense!

This is the answer that Tianchen and the little monk Xuyuan got after complaining about their grievances.

In order to convince Tianchen, Xuyuan also made two punches with Tianchen, which ended with Tianchen falling to the ground.

Tianchen's eyes lit up, and as soon as he said two words, he wanted to betray his teacher! The little monk categorically refused, because privately passing on kung fu is a serious crime, and if it is serious, the elders will have their martial arts abolished, their hands and feet will be broken, and they will be expelled from the school.

This is no joke!

Xu Yuan suggested that Tianchen ask Ci Xiang for advice, after all, Ci Xiang himself is a martial arts master, otherwise how to find medicinal herbs in some strange peaks and dangerous places.

In addition, the monks in the temple have to pick up six jars of water every day, and Tianchen is a newcomer, so only two jars are allocated, and they will be added slowly in the future.

Tianchen was startled, and went back to complain to Master Cixiang, but Cixiang directly threw him a book of martial arts secrets and told him to go back and practice by himself.

This is called the eight-step chasing star method, which is just right for the situation in front of Tianchen.Martial arts moves are not something that can be practiced overnight, and Cixiang doesn't want Tianchen to have too deep a relationship with his peers, so he chooses this body method to be handed over to Tianchen to practice.

Can't you run if you can't beat it?

Eight steps chasing stars only simple eight footwork, easy to learn but difficult to master.If Tianchen can comprehend the subtlety,Then you can play the opponent between applause.But Tianchen is just an ordinary mountain village boy.Where to know what words,Some of the tricks described in words,He can't understand most.

Eight steps Tianchen has already learned, but there are too many words in it to explain the mystery, Tianchen touched the round bald head, stunned and couldn't find a place to start.

Three months have passed, and Tianchen has finally endured the most uncomfortable time.

The hard days were chosen by Tianchen himself, he got up early every day and was greedy for darkness, and he had a sore back, and finally used his free time to build a small wooden house, and reclaimed half an acre of barren land nearby, sprinkled seeds, cultivated intensively, and waited for the harvest.

Slowly, Tianchen began to get used to these working lives.

Tianchen is illiterate, so he naturally can't use the mental understanding of his predecessors to comprehend the essence of chasing stars in eight steps, but he is determined by nature and is bound to learn this stunt.

Tianchen used the method that this fool came up with, and he survived for three months.

Now he is light and agile, walking like the wind, even the "seniors" who bullied him at the beginning began to lose touch his side, and no longer dare to despise him.

It's night, and after a busy day, I go to bed and fall asleep.

In the dead of night, Tianchen lay on the bed and snored loudly, echoing with the insects around the wooden house.

Suddenly, a faint blue light flashed in the wooden house, and at some point, one more person came out.

The weather outside the house is not very good, the light is not enough, I can't see the person's appearance clearly, I can only vaguely see the general outline, it should be a man.

As soon as this person stretched out his hand, he made a magic decision at Tianchen on the bed, and then waved the sleeves of his robe, and a small flag flew out of it, and inserted it in the open space outside the house, and suddenly the air shook invisibly, and then as if nothing had happened, it returned to normal.

The man walked to the side of the wooden bed, looked at Tianchen who was sleeping soundly, and chuckled: "It's really easy for me to find, I didn't expect that after that big battle, your kid is still alive, and his life is big enough."

After speaking, this person pointed towards the void of Tianchen with one hand, and a Qingxia rolled out, submerged into Tianchen's body, and disappeared.

"How could it be? No! How could it be! I obviously put that thing on this kid at that time, how could it be gone? Could it have been found by them? Impossible, if they found something, they didn't need to stay alive, just killing this kid is not clean, what's the matter?"

The man paced back and forth in the small wooden house, muttering to himself.

Suddenly, the man's body froze, and he thought of something that he couldn't believe, something he couldn't believe.

A wisp of cool air invaded Tianchen's body along the sword finger, running along Tianchen's body repeatedly.

"Alas, after a thousand calculations, I still haven't counted the business that this thief has worked so hard to run, heh, all of them have been cheapened by this kid."

There was a hint of anger in the man's words, and then with a flick of his fingers, a green sword qi shot out, directly piercing Tianchen's chest, and suddenly a blood hole appeared out of thin air, and a large stream of blood came out.

Tianchen didn't hum, he was killed like this!

But that's when something strange happened.

Just as the sword qi pierced through his chest, another blue light flashed at the blood hole, and the flesh buds in it squirmed and grew rapidly, but in a moment, Tianchen's chest was back to its original state.

"Huh?"

The man was shocked, and then snorted, and with a wave of his hand, seven small swords swam out of his cuffs, and in the man's thoughts, they shattered and opened, turning into hundreds of small swords like thin needles, floating in the sky above the sky, dense, flashing blue, and looking a little infiltrating.

The man's fingers pointed down a little, "brush, brush", hundreds of green mangs shrouded the entire wooden bed, all of them plunged down, piercing it with thousands of holes, terrifying.

Tianchen on the wooden board is naturally no exception, but just for a moment, the cyan light on Tianchen's body flashed, and Tianchen was as good as ever, but the clothes on his body were tattered, as if he was not wearing clothes.

The man's face was delighted, and he looked Tianchen up and down several times, as if he was looking at a peerless treasure.

"Strange, strange! Could this be...... Okay, well, it seems that this kid is still of some use, and it is not in vain that I have worked hard to get this treasure.

The man's voice was absent, and his figure slowly faded away, disappearing at some point, as if it had never appeared.

From beginning to end, Tianchen was all motionless, even if he was pierced through his heart, it was still full of holes, Tianchen didn't snort, like a dead man.

It's okay not to move, but under the chaos, the wooden bed that was already trembling suddenly shattered with a "click", and Tianchen fell straight to the ground with the bed board, raising a cloud of dust.

Tianchen was awakened by a shock, and glanced at the tattered wooden planks and quilts, a little inexplicable. Even if he scratched his bald head, he didn't think that he had just died twice.

Tianchen was so tired that he hugged a quilt again, put it on a wooden bench, and slept for a night.

The next day, Tianchen went up the mountain, borrowed a machete from his uncle, and went down the mountain to cut down trees, intending to make a stronger plank bed again.

Cutting down a tree is an extremely boring and physically demanding job, this time I went down the mountain to find a big tree, cut it for an hour, Tianchen's stomach croaked, and my whole body was also weak for a while, and I couldn't make it hard.

Just when Tianchen was about to go home and fill his stomach first, a long-lost fragrance came from a distance, Tianchen's nose trembled twice, and he immediately knew that someone was roasting.

I haven't eaten meat for a long time, and every day is porridge and greens, and I don't even put a single salt! Tianchen's mouth fades out of the bird.

Tianchen looked around, like a thief, lightly, looking for the fragrance, and ran to the jungle on the side.

After a while, Tianchen found his goal.

A middle-aged Taoist priest sat on the edge of the fire, on which was a little fat pig, which had been skinned and washed, and was golden from the flames, dripping oil and water constantly.

The Taoist priest took out a lot of bottles and cans from his arms, shook them on the roast pig little by little, and suddenly a delicious smell emanated from the roast pig.

Tianchen just sniffed it, and immediately his whole body was soft, and he got carried away, he couldn't even remember his last name, and his saliva kept sliding down his chin, how ugly it was, how ugly it was, like a starving ghost who hadn't eaten for hundreds of years.

"Little brother, you've been watching over there for so long, do you want to come over and try the craftsmanship of the poor road?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest didn't even look at Tianchen in his hand, and said casually, but that tone obviously had already discovered Tianchen's arrival.
