Chapter Eighty-Seven: Becoming a Monk
There is a bamboo forest behind the lecture hall, except for monks who come here every spring to dig bamboo shoots and tidy up the bamboo fields, almost no one usually comes. Today, it is rare to come to two Taoist priests, a man and a woman.
"Sister Lu, what are you bringing me here for, I'm going to go to the spiritual field with Anxin to hoe grass in a while. Shi Fei rubbed the strangled place on his neck dissatisfied.
Fahua Temple has a large spiritual field, which is divided into spiritual rice, vegetables and medicinal materials according to the advantages and disadvantages of the spiritual soil. These fields are tended by miscellaneous disciples and new monks. Lu Mi also went to work in the rice field for two days, and felt that it was even more boring than listening to the class, so he simply made an excuse to slip away.
"What kind of grass are you hoeing, are you really a monk yourself?" Lu Mi slapped Shi Fei's brain, "Let me ask you, do you want to leave here?"
"Leave, why?" Shi Fei obviously didn't expect Lu Mi to come up with such a thing.
"Guy with no conscience. Lu Mi said: "Of course I'm looking for your Caocao sister, we've been here for a month, have you heard any news about Caocao?"
"Nope. Shi Fei shook his head.
"So, they're not reliable, so we'll have to find them ourselves. The "they" here naturally refer to the monks in the Fahua Temple, who said that they would go to Tianquan Pavilion to ask for people, but a month has passed, not to mention the figures, not even a word, and the ability to do things is really low.
"But ......"
Shi Fei was about to speak, when suddenly Lu Mi's ears moved, and he quickly hid behind a stone in the bamboo forest: "Someone is coming." ”
When someone else came, it didn't matter to them, and they didn't do anything bad. Shi Fei hid behind the stone and silently swallowed what he wanted to say.
"Childe, the Qiu family is the only one left, how can you make such a decision, how can you let the old slave explain to the master in the future. ”
It was Qiu Bo's voice, Lu Mi and Shi Fei could hear it, and this voice full of pleading meaning came from their acquaintance, Qiu Bo. Of course, the son in his mouth will not be someone else, but Qiu Zifu, who can refine the Heart Nourishing Pill.
It is said that Qiu Zifu's treatment in Fahua Temple is much better than that of Lu Qiyi, not only the monks and monks treat him with courtesy, but he also allows him to come and go at will.
"Uncle Qiu, I have made up my mind, you don't have to persuade me anymore. In the face of Qiu Bo's almost tearful persuasion, Qiu Zifu was unmoved.
"Childe, think about your master, think about your master, if they know how heartbreaking it should be for you to become a monk, you want to cultivate immortals and old slaves without hindrance, but you can completely worship lame Taoists as teachers, or go to other sects where you can marry wives, if you enter the Fahua Temple, the Qiu family will be gone." ”
Qiu Zifu wants to be a monk!
This news shocked Lu Qiqi and Shi Fei almost fell out from behind the stone, Qiu Bo didn't say that Qiu's father didn't even agree to his son to be a Taoist priest in order to be able to shine on the lintel, and now his son actually agreed to be a monk. If Qiu's father had known under the spring, would he have been angry with this unfilial son.
Qiu Zifu said patiently: "Uncle Qiu, don't worry, if I am successful in cultivation and have a long life, won't the Qiu family always be there? Moreover, these days, I have learned that Fahua Temple is not only profound in Buddhism, but also dedicated to the mortal people around it. The Qiu family has been passed down from generation to generation, isn't it just to help the world and save people, and now that there is such an opportunity to magnify the ancestral teachings, why give up?"
"......"
"Besides, I'm not interested in what you said, marrying a girl back just to reproduce an heir is too unfair to other girls. ”
"There are also lay disciples in Fahua Temple, you can go to Master Yixin and be a registered lay disciple under his name. ”
"Uncle Qiu, you know, lay disciples are not people from the Huahua Temple after all, can it be that the masters in the temple will teach the lay disciples as if they were their own disciples? You have been in the temple for so long, have you ever seen a few lay disciples who are more than 100 years old. ”
As soon as lay disciples are over 100 years old, the monastery will send them back to their homes, either to help them earn a share of the family business, or to help them marry and have children.
"Don't mention what you said about Lingtou to other sects, Master Yixin and Master Yuanxuan treated me so well, but I switched to other sects, wouldn't it disappoint them. ”
Qiu Zifu said his thoughts word by word, and every word he said was like a knife in Qiu Bo's heart, and the old man's tears came out of his eyes.
Facing the tears of the old man who has taken care of him for 20 years, Qiu Zifu's heart softened, but his mind will not change: "Uncle Qiu, I know that it is difficult for you to accept it all at once, and I also understand the sadness in your heart, but I have longed to cultivate immortals since I was a child, and I hope to fly away like in myths and legends, and now that I have this opportunity, I will definitely not give up." ”
But no matter what he said, Uncle Qiu could not listen to it, and the old man even sat on the ground and wept loudly. Qiu Zifu helplessly tied his hands and waited for his crying to fade away, and then helped him to leave here.
And Lu Qiyi, who was hiding behind the stone, seemed to have suddenly opened his mind, holding on to the stone, thoughtful.
"Sister Lu, what are you thinking?" Shi Fei asked in a low voice, "Are you worried about Brother Qiu? You don't have to worry about this, I heard Anxin that Brother Qiu can practice the Heart Nourishing Pill with the power of mortals, and he is really a genius on the way to alchemy, and when he enters the Fahua Temple, the elders in the temple will definitely focus on cultivation, and the future is limitless." ”
Hearing this, Lu Qi didn't answer, but stared at Shi Fei with dark eyes, and Shi Fei felt furious in his heart, and involuntarily touched his face.
"Sister Lu, you ......"
"You tell me the truth, Master Yixin asked you to live with Anxin, do you also plan to let you go in and become a monk?"
Although this idea had also swirled in Lu Qi's shallow head, it had never been so vivid. The first thing she thought of was that she couldn't resist Li Yanshi's entrustment no matter what, and she couldn't lose his little apprentice.
"This, it shouldn't be possible, right?" Shi Fei couldn't believe it, he didn't know how to do alchemy, and the spiritual root was also good, why did Master Yixin want to fight his idea.
"What if it's true?"
They hadn't thought before that Master Yixin and Master Yuanxuan actually wanted to bring Qiu Zifu into Fahua Temple.
"I ......" Shi Fei was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this question. For him, the temple was a fun and interesting place, with his esteemed master of Isshin and his best friend peace of mind. But if he is also allowed to become a monk, it will not work. If you don't say I'm sorry to the master, even he doesn't want to.
But what Sister Lu said is right, what if they also want to become a monk here? Can I say no? Anxin is so good to himself, Master Yixin is the same to him, whatever Anxin learns, Master Yixin also asks him the same. Where can such a good master be found, but on the other hand, he is not a monk of Fahua Temple, why does Master Yixin want to teach him, there is only one possibility that in the eyes of Master Yixin, he Shifei will become a monk in Fahua Temple sooner or later.
"Ah, what should I do? Sister Lu, I don't want to be a monk, I can't eat meat when I am a monk, I'm still young, and I still have a lot of time to ......" Thinking of this, Shi Fei panicked and grabbed Lu Qi's clothes.
He didn't think that after he became a monk, he would have the courage to continue drinking and eating meat like Master Yuanxuan.
What can she do, now the two of them are weak, the other party is powerful, if you want not to be persecuted, there is only one way to leave. And leaving, Lu Qiqi glanced at the diamond ring around his neck, and now seemed to be a good time.
"Okay, let's go now. Lu Qiqi gritted his teeth.
"Now?" Shi Fei was surprised, "Okay, I'll go pack my things." "Although Fahua Temple is good, compared to being a monk, it is better to wait until later.
"No, I can't. Lu Qiqi grabbed him, "I don't want those things, let's leave now." "Those little radish heads will definitely go to move the rescuers, and if they don't hurry up and run away for a minute and a second, they may not be able to run away.
"I still have a lot of things in my room......"
"Whatever, your sister Lu is an immortal, she has money, and she is afraid that she won't be able to buy anything. What if you go back and pack your things, show your feet, and they press you here to force you to leave the house?"
That's different, can the things he bought back be compared to the things he personally groped back? But if he was forced to shave his head as Sister Lu said, then things would be bad. Alas, I can only pray that Anxin can help him put away all his things, and he will have the opportunity to come back to get them again in the future.
