Chapter 1: Palpitations
A flash of spiritual light flashed like lightning, and Ji Xiao came to consciousness again, surrounded by a long-lost and familiar darkness, and he couldn't see it again. It took him a while before he realized that this time he was not blind, but staying in his mother's womb.
He was still a mass of unformed flesh.
Ji Xiao moved his brain a little, and he felt very sleepy, and fell asleep again.
The next time in the mother's body, he fell asleep most of the time, waiting peacefully for the time to hit the ground.
............
In the early morning, surrounded by mountains, there is an ancient temple called Lanruo, and there is a basket at the door of the ancient temple, and there is a swaddling baby in the basket. In the swaddling clothes was a newborn baby, and the baby was Ji Xiao.
He opened his little eyes, in a daze, he didn't expect that he was so unpopular, he didn't even see what the mother who gave birth to him looked like, and he was sent to the door of this ancient temple in the early morning of this autumn season.
At this time, should he cry so as to attract the attention of the monks in the ancient temple. It's just that he doesn't like to be a monk very much, if he is adopted by the monks of the ancient temple, will he have to start from a small novice.
Ji Xiao was a little entangled.
Before he could dwell on it for long, the gate of the ancient temple opened.
He was still discovered.
............
"Senior Brother Yixin, what should we name this child?"
After he came in, he didn't cry or make trouble, his demeanor was calm, his heart was not throbbing, and the next generation was a word generation, so he called him palpitations. ”
"Hmm. ”
Ji Xiao, who was lying in the basket, thought to himself, my name was Ji Xiao before, but this time I named it Ting, but it was a coincidence.
The baby's body was still very weak, and he listened to the monks who had adopted him for a while, and then fell asleep.
............
In the slanting sun, twilight is thick.
"Brother Ting, why is our temple called 'Lanruo Temple'. ”
At the edge of the well, a young novice of about seven or eight years old asked a young monk about twenty years old.
The young monk was handsome in appearance, but he was wearing just an ordinary gray cloth monk's robe, and there was no ordination scar on his head, which showed that he was an unordained monk and should be just a handyman in the monastery.
But the young novice obviously admired him.
The young monk named "Palpitation" replied unhurriedly: "'Lan Ruo' is the abbreviation of 'Alan Ruo', which originally meant forest, and the Buddhist scriptures extended it to be a place of silence and freedom from distress and trouble. In fact, from the name of our temple Lanruo Temple, we know that our temple was originally a wild temple. Because a thousand years ago, the Great Liang Dynasty issued a decree, 'The official quota is the temple, and the private maker is Zhaoti and Lanruo'. It can be seen from this that our Lanruo Temple was originally privately built, and the founding patriarch at that time used the more popular name of Lanruo by the way. However, two hundred years ago, our Lanruo Temple has been recognized by the government and officially given the amount, and the government has also used the temple name of Lanruo Temple. Therefore, although there are many temples called Lanruo Temple in the world, our Jiangzhou Lanruo Temple is the only one that has been officially recognized, and the official monks in the temple will have monk membership and degree. ”
Xiao Shami clapped his little hand and said, "Senior Brother Throbbing is so good, I went to ask Senior Brother Chen, but he couldn't answer, he is an official monk." ”
The young monk smiled and said, "Actually, this allusion is recorded in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, but Lichen just happened to have not read this record." ”
Xiao Shami said: "But why is Senior Brother Yu not an official monk?" ”
The young monk smiled and said, "Why do you want to be a full-fledged monk, I think it's good now." ”
The courtyard door opened, bringing up dust, and a monk ran in.
"Senior Brother Lichen. When the little novice saw the monk, he immediately shouted.
Lichen is much rougher than the young monk, and he looks a few years older than the young monk, and he said, "Palpitation, the host is looking for you." ”
He said with a throbbing eleventh salute: "Senior Brother Lichen, what is the host looking for me to do." ”
Lichen returned a salute and said: "Amitabha, today the Zen Master Zhishan and Zen Master Zhiyuan of Baoguang Temple brought a group of monks to the temple to debate the Dharma with the presiding officer and the elders. ”
Xiao Shami said: "Is the host going to let Senior Brother Zhu go to relieve the siege, yes, Senior Brother Zhu is proficient in Buddhism, and his argument is unhindered, and he will definitely be able to help them preside over them!"
Lichen shook his head and said: "The host said that the technique of making tea is very good, they have been debating the Dharma for a long time, and their mouths are dry, so let him quickly boil some tea to entertain Zen Master Zhishan and them." ”
He was not disappointed, and said with a smile: "I just hit a bucket of well water, which is just enough to use." ”
............
In the Daxiong Treasure Hall, four monks sit opposite each other.
They are the presiding officer of Lanruo Temple, Yixin and the elder, and they are sitting opposite Zhishan and Zhiyuan of Baoguang Temple.
The elder was wiping the sweat from his forehead, apparently stumped by Jiseon's question.
The host closed his eyes as if he was about to fall asleep.
The other monks in the main hall were very anxious.
"Presiding, Elder, Master Zhishan, Master Zhiyuan, you must all be thirsty, please drink tea to quench your thirst. A clear voice spread throughout the hall, and the monks heard it.
I saw a young monk walking in from outside the hall with tea.
The monks in the temple gave way to him, and many people were secretly relieved to see him appear.
And the monks of Baoguang Temple, who came with Zhishan, saw that he was just dressed as a handyman, and they didn't take this young monk to heart.
Yixin presided over, suddenly opened his eyes, and said, "Tea is here." ”
He was the first to take the tea from the young monk, and as if he was thirsty, he hurriedly poured it into his mouth.
Some of the monks below commented: "The host looks thirsty, he talks a lot." ”
"It was as if from the beginning, it was just the elders arguing with them. ”
"yes, I remember that, too. ”
"Well, the host must be waiting for Elder Yiyi to support it before making a move. ”
"That's not right, Elder Yiyi doesn't seem to have spoken for a quarter of an hour, the question asked by Master Zhishan just now is too difficult, why hasn't Yixin presided over it yet. ”
When they were muttering, the host looked very calm and indifferent, as if he had a bamboo in his chest, but in fact, the host moved his lips slightly at the moment, and quietly passed into the secret saying: "Send them away, you can skip morning classes for a day." ”
The young monk smiled slightly, and also said, "Three days." ”
Yixin presided over the transmission and replied: "If you don't take action, a day will be gone." ”
The young monk was quite helpless, so he had no choice but to nod.
He offered tea to Elder Yiyi again, and Elder Yiyi bowed his head slightly, took the tea, and said, "It's up to you this time." ”
The young monk bowed slightly.
Zhiyuan was opposite Elder Yiyi, so the young monk brought tea to him first.
Zhi Yuan took the tea casually and said, "Elder Yiyi, my senior brother asked you and Yixin to preside over it with three passes, but you haven't answered yet." “
