The first four introduced their family backgrounds in detail, one was a soldier who narrowly escaped death because of a battle. One man is a doctor, because he has died a man, and he feels guilty. One person was hunted down by the government and chased by the enemy, and there was nowhere to escape. One is because he likes to be a monk and thinks it is a promising career.

The four of them have answered one by one, and it's my turn.

I came to the stool in front of the examiner and sat down nervously, unable to speak for a long time.

"This benefactor, please briefly describe what you do in your job, what is the situation at home, and why you want to go to the mountains to become a monk. ”

"This ..... That one....... This ......."

"What this and that, what did you do. ”

"I turned out to be a ...... I'll think again. "I wanted to say that I was originally a rich second generation, but how could a rich second generation become a monk?

"How you speak, what you are, what you think. ”

Should I tell the truth or not? Master Huijing once said to me that everything must be fate, and since I am here, let me tell the truth.

"Actually, I don't know the Warring States, I came to the future, do you know the future? It's tomorrow, I'm tomorrow's person, it's that I'm back in ancient times, the era you live in now is ancient times, I was called modern at that time, understand?" I said with anticipation.

The monk who was interviewing looked at me for a long time with his eyes pierced, then suddenly turned around and said to the disciple on duty behind him, "It's another madman, reward him with a bowl of rice, and then take him down the mountain." ”

"I'm not crazy, I have a letter from the abbot of Huijing in Wuchen Temple, and I was instructed by Master Huijing to come to Fahua Temple to be the abbot of Guanzhi. ”

"Where is the faith?"

I hurriedly took out the crumpled silk paper from my bosom.

The interview monk watched it for a long time, lifted his head from the silk scroll, and said lightly: "I don't understand." ”

"Huh? You can't read the words, or you can't read the meaning. "I was puzzled.

"I can't read words. ”

My mother, what kind of monk is this?

"Then how did you pass the written exam and enter the Fahua Temple? I was dumbfounded.

"I scribbled a few strokes, and then I came in. ”

Hearing this, I was surprised and delighted, it is estimated that this monk knows what unspoken rules, I can set them out, and Wang Hong may be able to use them.

I quietly leaned my head closer to the interviewer and whispered, "Master, do you know the monk who took the exam, or did you stuff something?" I said, gesturing the meaning of the banknote in my hand.

"No, because the monks don't know how to read in the written test. ”

“........”

Eventually, Wang Hong and I met Abbot Guanzhi, who looked a few years older than Huijing, just slightly fatter.

"Since I was introduced by my junior brother, you two can stay. ”

"Thank you, master. Wang Hong and I bowed to the ground in unison.

"But Wushi, since you have come to Fahua Temple, your original Dharma name can no longer be used, this is the rule of our temple, do you know?"

"The disciple doesn't know, since this is the case, I ask the master to give the disciple the Dharma name again. ”

The master thought for a while, and then said: "There is no use for the empty characters left in this temple, since you are here together, use the 'empty' characters." ”

I thought, if my two characters can add up, I will be Wukong, wouldn't I become the Monkey King?

"Master, what should I call it? I asked expectantly, hoping that Master Guanzhi would give him a domineering Dharma name.

"You just use Ming, it's called Kongming. ”

It's not bad, I like it.

"What is my name, master? Wang Hong also couldn't wait to ask.

"You call it emptiness. ”

As soon as the master's words came out, I was surprised and Wang Hong was sluggish.

"Master, what are you talking about?" Wang Hong didn't seem to understand.

"Emptiness, emptiness is the emptiness and loneliness of emptiness. The deacon disciple on the side explained.

Fortunately, he didn't say that the deficiency was the deficiency of the kidney deficiency, otherwise there would be a good show to watch.

"Master, I'm not empty and lonely at all, can I change my name?"

"No, this is the rule of the monastery, do you think you can change it if you want to? The whole monk in the monastery wants to change it, and I agree with it, so wouldn't it be a mess. If you have more mouths, you will call it air. ”

"That's still emptiness. Wang Hong said stupidly.

I smiled and crooked.

"Guanzhu, the two new disciples of Kongming and Kongxu, I will leave it to you to teach in the future. Guan Zhi turned his head to another eminent monk on the side and said, "Emptiness, emptiness, Master Guanzhu will be your master in the future, and he will teach you the rules of the monastery and the Buddhist scriptures on my behalf, and if you don't understand anything, just find the master." ”

"Oh Buddha Mita, the disciple received the order. "Guanzhu Road.

"Abbot, we know. Wang Hong and I said in unison.

After receiving the Dharma name, Master Guanzhu began to arrange work for us, and after listening to the master's introduction to the affairs of the monastery with Kongxu, I understood that the beggars were not scaring me, and that there was indeed a hierarchy system in Fahua Temple, and all the work received by the disciples was arranged according to the rank.

"Kongming, your job is chopping wood, emptiness, your job is emptying the toilet. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

"Master, why is Kong Ming chopping wood, I do pour the toilet, it's not fair. Wang Hong said unhappily in his heart.

"Don't talk nonsense, this is arranged by the abbot, who dares to ask him, if you dare, you will go, if you pick and choose again, be careful that the abbot will drive you out of the mountain gate. ”

Wang Hong was stunned and bowed his head and said nothing.

I comforted: "Senior Brother of Emptiness, this is the master testing you, if you want to think that the more difficult and difficult, the more you can test a person's courage and perseverance." ”

"Then I'll give you this opportunity, I'll chop wood, you come and empty the toilet. Wang Hongyin said with a smile.

"Don't, take away the opportunity to hone you, I can't bear it, you better stay up slowly, there will always be a day before you die. ”

"I don't know if it's the first day, but the day of the stinky death is just around the corner. Wang Hong shook his head.

But then Wang Hong still found a way, he bribed all the money on his body to a new disciple, the disciple's position is diving, but unfortunately the body is too fat, every day up and down is too tired, jumping up and down the water, more than half of the water was drunk by himself first. Although the work of pouring the toilet is arduous, it is only poured once in three days, and it is all down the mountain, because the fat disciple weighed the pros and cons and got the benefits, and chose to exchange with Wang Hong.

"Hey, you kid still has a way to do this. I teased.

"Where, the main thing is to see that the fat disciple is really tired and panicked when he climbs up and down every day, and it is easy to pour the toilet, so I gave it to him, as a senior brother, of course I have to take care of my junior brother. Wang Hong said with a smile.

"Look at what you say, those who don't know think that you opened the monastery. ”

"What kind of place is the monastery?" Wang Hong wondered.

"The monastery is inhabited by nuns. ”

"Nun, is it a woman who has been repaired by her husband?"

"What kind of logic do you think, let's put it this way, nuns are about the same as our nuns. ”

"I see, I heard that there is a nunnery on the mountain behind the Fahua Temple, called Jingxin Nunnery, let's take a look when we have time. ”

"As soon as I look at your face, I know that you are not over, what do you want to do, recite scriptures to nuns?"

"No, we both belong to the same Buddhist sect, and it's normal for us to visit each other. Wang Hong glanced at no one around, and then said, "I heard that there is a nun in the nunnery who is a princess who was demoted to a monk because of her crimes, and I also heard that this meditation nunnery was built for this princess." ”

As soon as I heard this, I was very puzzled, and asked, "Who did you listen to, and how do you know so clearly?"
