Mo Wunian looked at the past about the past with the disgraced monk, and it was a bit like a little water, and there was really nothing worth noting.

The unfortunate monk seemed to see his impatience, and Shanshan smiled gently: "Please also ask the donor to listen to me continue, the matter about the master of the crossing is precisely the past few years." ”。

Mo Wunian then settled down his thoughts again, and continued to listen to the unfortunate monk's eloquent words.

The unfortunate monk continued, and as his words came out of his mouth, a scene was constructed.

......

The little monk Dusheng didn't understand why the people in front of him wanted to apologize to him, let alone what they said, but they didn't seem to know that they were stealing fish, but thinking that they had ruined their "good deeds", he couldn't help but feel a little more angry in his heart.

Seeing this, Mo Wunian felt funny, who would have thought that today's generation of masters would also break the precepts back then.

He retracted his mind and continued to look at the past of the Crossing Master.

......

"Oooh...... A few donors want to go to Wojiao Temple, just in front, and invite a few donors to come with me. However, after hearing that a few people were visiting the presiding master, although the little monk was unhappy in his heart, he still took them to the direction of Wojiao Temple.

Along the way, he remembered the solemn appearance of the usual presiding master, thinking of the unfathomable appearance, and he pretended to be that posture, but he was only a twelve-year-old naughty boy after all, and the appearance he made seemed to be no matter whether it was the same or not, and even more along the way, the little bald head always glanced at the girl from time to time, and the appearance of the monk suddenly went to seventy-seven eighty-eight, which made people laugh!

"Little bald head, am I good-looking?" was secretly looked at by the little monk more than a dozen times, but the girl was not angry, but just looked at him with some amusement! She felt that the little monk in front of her was very interesting.

The place where Wojiao Temple is located is not a dangerous mountain, and after turning over a small hill, several people came to the temple. Along the way, the girls saw pilgrims coming and going to the temple from time to time. I can't help but sigh at the heyday of the incense of Wojiao Temple!

The temple in front of you is simple and atmospheric, aside from the magnificent building, before entering it, the bursts of Sanskrit sound coming from it have calmed down the irritability in people's hearts. People can't help but sigh, worthy of being a thousand-year-old temple. And into it, the first thing that catches the eye is the six murals that stand in front of everyone more than one zhang high, and the thing painted on them is the "high monk Zhenjiao".

At this time, in front of the mural, there was a young monk, with his hands folded as if waiting for something. But what is more eye-catching is the appearance of this monk - the face is like a carving, the facial features are distinct, the angular face is handsome and abnormal, and a pair of eyes are full of wisdom, as if he has some posture of a monk.

It just so happened that the little monk also led the girl and a few people back. The young monk's gaze touched Wu Nian's body, his expression was serious at first, and then he smiled helplessly, serious because he finally found it after looking for Dusheng for a long time, but a helpless smile was such a thing, and he was not surprised.

"Watara, where did you go again? Do you know that you are going to eat the board of the lawyer brother again!" But when he saw Wu Nian, he still had to take the posture of the senior brother after all, even if he knew that he was so stubborn, he would still be annoyed next time!

The little monk opened his mouth to explain something, but he was still a little scared when he looked at the senior brother in front of him who was practicing under the same master and whose Dharma name was "Wuyuan". This senior brother is good at everything, but when he makes mistakes, he is like a different person, and he can talk to him for days about this matter!

"The master can't be angry, but the little master released a fish outside the mountain, and it happened to be seen by the old man. Seeing that Wunian was scolded, the middle-aged man who came with the girl relieved him.

"Amitabha, the 'master' is the benefactor who promotes the little monk, and the little monk does not dare to be. I just noticed a few donors, but it was the little monk Wuyuan who was rude!" Wuyuan also noticed that there were a few people who came with Wu Nian, and after a few people gave a Buddhist salute, he then said: "But the little monk's junior brother has done a good deed, and there are several donors to testify, but the junior brother doesn't need to eat the board, and the little monk has thanked a few donors for the junior brother!"

After speaking, he gave another salute to several people.

"Haha, Master Wuyuan is so polite! But I don't know if the old man can meet the host master? In the early years, he was guided by the master, and the students have not reciprocated for many years, but they are panicked!" The middle-aged man still called himself "old man" in the first half of the sentence, but changed the second half of the sentence to "student", and it can be seen that he has great respect for the host master.

Wuyuan didn't think too much about it, clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "The host of Watari has always been there." He said that Senior Brother Wunian would bring a donor surnamed Zhou to come today, and it seems that the donor is it. May I also ask if the donor is Zhou Jiuling?"

He was already handsome, and this smile was even better than some women, making people feel like a spring breeze, and if the girl in the spring saw it, he was only afraid to believe what it meant to be love at first sight! Moreover, he directly said the name of the middle-aged man in black, and gave people a sense of secrecy!

The girl and the scribe were a little surprised, and they thought to themselves—how could he know about this Wuyuan? When they came, they had not revealed their whereabouts to anyone! But Zhou Jiuling's demeanor was very different from theirs.

"Down there is Zhou Jiuling. It seems that the host master already knew that the students were coming. Zhou Jiuling smiled gently and replied to Wuyuan. He had been with Master Watari for some time, and he knew about the miracle of the master's unpredictable prophet.

"Then please ask Lord Zhou to come with the little monk. ”

"Master Wuyuan!"

After a few words, Wuyuan took Zhou Jiuling to see the host master, and when he left, he told Wunian a few words, which was nothing more than asking him not to run around, and then take a few girls to visit the temple and something like that.

However, the little monk listened to a few words, so it was difficult to say.

Because he was still angry about the fish that the girl scared away from him, he naturally didn't like her from the bottom of his heart, even if her "tiger" was really good-looking. He felt that if he had this time to take people on a tour, he might as well listen to Ma Xiucai talk about all the beauty of the outside world, and the method of baking was heard from him.

The little monk was reluctant here, but the girl opposite narrowed her big good-looking eyes into a crescent moon and said to him: "Little bald head, your name is Wunian, right? Get to know this girl, Zhou Qing! Quick, take me to see if there is anything interesting in your temple? Afterwards, my sister can give you candy to eat!"

"Little Master, in Xia Luyuan, I also heard about the thousand-year-old temple of Wojiao Temple

The great name, can you take my young lady and me on a tour?" The young scribe who came with Zhou Qing also echoed her.

"I ...... I still have scriptures that I haven't copied, so the two donors should go to find someone else!" The little monk thought about it again and again, and felt that it was still immoral to reject the two directly, so he thought of such an excuse.

"Really?" Zhou Qing seemed to be smiling, his eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and he whispered to him in a voice that only two people could hear: "Little bald head, my sister saw you eating fish outside the temple, my father defended you, I won't! You said I was going to tell you Senior Brother Wuyuan......

Speaking of this, Wu Nian's little face turned white, wanting to defend something, but he didn't open his mouth after all.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing paused, like a proud little fox, and said to the little monk with a smile on his face: "Otherwise, if you take my sister and me on a tour, after the matter is completed, my sister will give you fish to eat." ”

"Okay, but I want to eat ten ............" Hearing that there was fish to eat, the little monk suddenly had a spirit, and he forgot the previous unpleasantness, but thinking of the girl in front of him threatening himself with eating fish, he was afraid of some kind of trap, and half of the words were blocked in his throat and swallowed.

"Hehe, little bald, don't worry! Sister Tong Su is not deceived and will not lie to you. As if seeing what the little monk thought, Zhou Qing patted the little bald head without a thought and swore an oath.

So, under the girl's flickering, how could the little monk be more childlike than a little fox-like girl?

Since Wojiao Temple is a thousand-year-old temple, it not only has the title of "High Monk Zhenjiao", but also has places that cannot be compared with other places. For example, there is a Bodhi tree in the temple, it is said that it was planted by the monk thousands of years ago, and listen to the old monk in the temple, every full moon night, you can see a shadow under the tree, some people say, that is the afterimage left by the monk when he visited the Buddha thousands of years ago, if ordinary people can listen to it talk about a scripture, it is not difficult to have an epiphany!

It is rumored that many good men and women come here to seek marriage or children, and there are also scholars who have repeatedly failed the imperial examination to seek careers...... In short, all living beings come to the tree with various purposes to make wishes, so that this Bodhi tree has a veil of mystery.

The little monk absentmindedly took Zhou Qing and the others to the Bodhi tree, put them aside, and went busily by himself......

The Bodhi tree in front of him is about ten zhang high, and this height is very eye-catching! But what surprised Zhou Qing in his heart was that under this tree, there was an inexplicable kind of tranquility in his heart. Lu Yuan also deeply sympathizes, he has lived in officialdom for a long time, and he has seen too much intrigues, but he has not been quiet for a long time.

But there is someone who doesn't feel it, and that is the little monk. There is a way that is commonplace, and after seeing too many things, he will become numb and insensitive! So at this moment, what he is thinking about in his heart is his ten fish, and even he is thinking about how to take the branches from this Bodhi tree and boil water!

In the past, when he and Ma Xiucai secretly ate fish, he stole the pot from the dining hall and took the branches from the Bodhi tree to make firewood! For this reason, he also ate the board of the lawyer brother!

So, there is this shocking picture in front of me. A thin figure in a monk's robe held up to his Cheng Liang's bald head, and with the strength of breastfeeding, he wanted to climb a tree and break a few branches to make firewood! Because, in the past, there were monks who visited under the tree, but on the tree, thoughtlessness was the first time......

The little monk took Zhou Qing to visit the temple for a few days, but he didn't know what Zhou Jiuling talked about with the host master. In the past, there were also people who came to thank the master for his kindness, but at most they stopped in the temple for a day before leaving. Therefore, it is not difficult for a discerning person to guess that Zhou Jiuling is by no means as simple as coming to thank the master for his kindness!

As for what his purpose is, not many people really delve into it, after all, this is the land of Buddhism, and it is also the residence of the highly respected master of Dusheng, how can anyone do something unseemly?

However, it is also rare, Dusheng has lived a few comfortable days, and he does not have to get up early to recite the scriptures and meditate, nor does he have to worry about the daily homework of copying the scriptures, as long as he takes Zhou Qing and the others to convey it blindly! The only fly in the ointment is that he did not get any of the ten fish that the girl promised him! Therefore, he has come with a sad face these days!

This is not to say that Zhou Qing is a person who does not believe in her word, but although the place where Wojiao Temple is located is not a high mountain and steep, it is also a remote place, how can there be a market to buy fish? There is a stream outside the temple, first, she has no time, and second, she does not have that skill! Simply, she asked Lu Yuan to take out a gold ingot and throw it to Wu Nian!

But Dusheng grew up in the temple since he was a child, and he had seen a few copper plates, but he had never seen gold, thinking that Zhou Qing was fooling him with some gold and stone, and he didn't say anything on his face, but he often muttered when no one was around: "It's still the master in the temple who is right, the woman is really a tiger! No, it's a fox, even my child is lied!"

Every time he finished speaking, he wanted to smash the "stone" hard once or twice, and Ma Xiu, who saw it on the side, showed a painful look on his face, and then said helplessly: "You bald little ancestor! Destroy the heavens! This is gold! It's enough to buy a hundred fish! You loser! I'll keep it for you first!"

After five days before and after, Ma Xiucai collected five such "stones" for Dusheng!

As far as Zhou Qing is concerned, this little monk named Du Sheng looks ignorant of the world on the surface, but he is also a greedy man! After receiving five ingots of gold, he will be embarrassed to pull on his face, as if you haven't given enough money! In fact, she didn't know that for Du Sheng, he only wanted those ten fish......

On this day, the presiding master, who had not been out of the door of the meditation room for many years, walked out with Zhou Jiuling. But it shocked everyone's jaws, in everyone's impression, this master is a legend, but he rarely comes out of his meditation room, and when someone comes to visit him, he only waits in his meditation room.

Everyone remembers that more than 10 years ago, there were demons and evil spirits hundreds of miles away from Wojiao Temple, and ghosts often traveled around, but they harmed many strong young men! Later, the master went out of the Zen gate to temper the demons and evil spirits in that area. It was also on that occasion that he brought back two people, one was Wuyuan, and the other was Dusheng. That time can be regarded as a major event, so everyone knows that this time the master walked out of the meditation room, there must be something big or something important to tell him!

At this moment, whether it is a monk or a pilgrim in the Wojiao Temple, many people have rushed to the meditation room where the master is, and everyone always hears that the master is a legendary figure, and when they hear the news that he walked out of the meditation room, they naturally want to see his true face, including Zhou Qing.

Wu Nian is extremely reluctant, and he can see him almost every three days!

He was very entangled, and after throwing him two tattered "golden stones", he pulled his little face and reluctantly led Zhou Qing and the others towards Master Dusheng's meditation room.

When they came to the master's door, most of the monks folded their hands and looked sad, only a few of the older monks had normal faces, and after that, there were some pilgrims who prayed in the temple, but their expressions were not much better, as if they had just heard something sentimental!

Watsui came to the master's door as usual, but the difference was that he came with two people with a face. The host in front of him is still the appearance of the old dragon bell in his impression, a simple gray monk's robe is not luxurious, but it inexplicably makes people respect, although a pair of eyes have been clouded, but full of wisdom. In the same way, the master's gaze at him was still kind.

The master seemed to be waiting for Dusheng, his eyes looked at him, and he smiled gently: "Wu Nian, you are here?"

"Uh-huh, host Master. I'm coming. Just like he usually came to greet the master, Wataru didn't think too much about it and replied to him.

The master's smile was still gentle, and he beckoned to Wataru and motioned for him to come to him, but then, his words made Ran Watsu a little confused, and everyone didn't know what he meant.

"Watara, you're twelve years old, aren't you?"

"Well, Master Presiding, Wu Nian is exactly twelve years old this year. ”

"Oh. So, your senior brother is eighteen years old, right? Time flies a little fast! And the memory of the old monk is getting worse and worse. Haha......"

"Uh-huh, Senior Brother Wuyuan should be eighteen!"

......

"Watara, the presiding master asks you, have you ever thought about the meaning of this Dharma name I gave?"

"Presiding Master, I'm ......"

"It doesn't matter if you don't know now, the old monk hopes that you will understand it in the future. ”

Just like the grandchildren of ordinary people, Master Watari is no longer a "master" in the eyes of others, just like an ordinary old man asks his own grandson and asks many questions. And no one in the crowd stood up to say anything, so they watched the two talk like this for more than two hours.

And when Wataru heard the master's last question, he felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, could it be that the master wanted to drive him away?

In the past, when he stole fish to eat, with the master's supernatural powers, he knew what he had done just by looking at him! But after that, he reprimanded him a few words at most! But this time, he thought about the fact that he was scared away by Zhou Qing a few days ago, and although he did not kill the fish himself in the end, he could be regarded as having touched the precept of killing! And afterwards, he did not tell anyone that he had violated the precept of "not lying"! He had committed two precepts before and after, which was a bit serious......

Thinking of this, Watsu Sheng pretended to cry, and immediately made a look of repentance for doing something wrong: "Presiding Master...... Wakei ...... I know that I am wrong! I will never steal fish again!".

"Watarai, you're not wrong. After you leave the temple, although you are not bound by the rules and precepts, you will not do whatever you want, and you should strengthen the restraint on yourself. There is no meaning of reproaching people in Washi's imagination, and the master's tone is still gentle, but it also has the meaning of strict education.

But the more this happened, Wataru felt an indescribable sadness, he felt that the master was going to drive him away! If he had just squeezed a few tears just now to pretend to be down, the tears would not be able to stop like a dam draining water, and he said to the master with a crying voice: "Presiding Master! Don't drive me away! I won't dare to ...... anymore."

"Watara, the presiding master has no intention of driving you away. It's just that there is something for you to do with Wu Yuan! Once you go, you don't know when you will be able to return!" The master lowered his body, wiped his tears for Wu Nian, and then said, "The old monk thinks that although you have Buddha nature, you have not yet cultivated the Buddha mind! Instead of this, it is better for you to go to the world to play a game, maybe you will have a better chance." ”。

Hearing the master say this, Watari's crying stopped a little. It can be heard that the master did not mean to drive him, but since he grew up in the temple, his closest person is the master except for Wu Yuan, and what is the difference between the master saying this and driving him?

"Okay, Watara, the old monk asks you one last question? What is the Buddha in your heart?"

"I ...... I think it should be like Wataru presiding over Master...... I...... I don't know, what do you think, Master?"

"Hahaha......"

The host master smiled, and his long gray beard trembled, not caring for his image at all. He didn't answer Wu Nian, touched his little bald head, and then turned to Zhou Jiuling and said, "You can go." ”。

"Master of hosting. In addition to Master Wuyuan, is this little master going to the capital with his students? You said that you taught Master Wuyuan the principles of governing the country! So what did you teach this little master?" Wu Nian wanted to say something, but Zhou Jiuling, who had been standing beside the master for a long time, interrupted him.

"Buddha!" The master glanced at Zhou Jiuling with a calm face, and returned to him.

"Isn't the master aware of the student's intention to come this time?" For some reason, after hearing the master's answer, Zhou Jiuling was a little angry! Of course, the purpose of his visit this time was not just to visit the master, but also because of a promise made to him by the master in the past.

In the past, when he walked out of Wojiao Temple, the master told him that Zhao Guo's qi was only twenty years left at most, and let him think clearly about whether he wanted to embark on a career in office. After thinking about it for a long time, he expressed to the master that he wanted to go to the official path, and then the master asked him to go back to Wojiao Temple after sixteen years to take two people, saying that he could continue the fate of Zhao Guo!

Now, exactly sixteen years later, he has come back to bring people. Moreover, in the past few years, although he has become a member of the first rank of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, he naturally sees the fortune of the country in his eyes, and he is also anxious! But now one of the people given to him by the master is a little monk who only knows how to eat fast and recite Buddha, how can he not be angry?

And what the master said to this little monk, he couldn't understand it, he had been an official for many years, he thought that he had seen too much, but he couldn't understand everything in front of him!

......

Mo Wunian's thoughts returned, and he didn't want to pay attention to the switch of the scene in front of him, he asked the monk who was sorry: "What does the master think of Buddha?"

There have always been controversies about the Buddha, and what is the Buddha, some people say that the Buddha is an immortal, and some people say that the Buddha is a kind of thought, a kind of fraternity for the world, and the idea of saving the people from suffering.

Although the story was really plain, seeing this, he already had a lot of questions in his heart, but the unfortunate monk still smiled and did not answer, only saying that he asked Mo Wunian to listen patiently to him finish the story.
