In the early summer of 302 AD, Pingcheng, Qingliang Mountain, Wenshu Monastery.

Before Fuyuan presided over the morning class, he called Zi Niu Zhi to a quiet place and said, "You don't have to bear today's water, and go to Ye Doufeng's thousand-year-old sycamore, at the time of Mao Chen's communication, when the sun is flickering, I can hear the movement on the tree, so I went up and brought a young student back to the temple to me." ”

"Yes, Master. Zi Niu rushed down the mountain in response to the master.

When he returned to the main hall, he instructed Zhiren to go down the mountain and bring back some things for the baby to eat and wear, especially millet to get some too.

Jiren answered and went down the mountain.

At this time, Ziniu's brain was spinning rapidly, and he didn't know what he was thinking, one thing was certain, this time he didn't follow the rules......

Ziniu was originally taken in by the host after fleeing so far, and he is not a monk, and there is no need to pay attention to those.

It is said that Ziniu has been coming to the Zen Monastery for three years, and in addition to providing water for the mountain in the three years, the rest of the time is a miscellaneous servant. The host is kind to himself, so he calls the host Master. He was born in a peasant family, but he didn't have anything, but he practiced a good pair of legs and feet and a sleek image.

There are five peaks in Qingliang Mountain, and what Ziniu has to do at this time is to climb from Cuiyan Peak to Ye Dou Peak.

The walking ox shows a nature similar to its own age, chasing this and chasing that......

Unconsciously, the cow came to this thousand-year-old sycamore, how many years this sycamore tree is, no one can say clearly, it is rumored that there are at least more than a thousand years.

Ziniu is also very familiar with Qingliang Mountain, and whenever he is depressed, he shuttles between the peaks to relax. But I don't know what young there are on the thousand-year-old sycamore, but there are some bird nests, and the eggs have also been eaten by it.

"What is a young child?" Zi Niu thought as he sat under the tree...... Actually, it's a catch-up sleep.

At the time of the meeting, the colorful light in the sky suddenly appeared, followed by a piercing chirp from the trees...... Zi Niu jumped up from the ground with a wit, thinking that he seemed to have been hit by this tree. Could it be that the legend is true, this tree has become an immortal, and now it is time to punish itself.

Thinking of this, Zi Niu turned around and ran down the mountain, probably because he was afraid, he didn't run a few steps and fell into a tree, but when he bumped into it, he remembered that he hadn't done what the master had told him. He hesitated to go to the tree and look down, because he was more afraid of the punishment after returning than the fear of the unknown.

I saw him scurry up the tree a few times, but he didn't find anything. Just as he was about to go down, the water dripping from above fell on his head. When he looked up, he saw something white flashing between the branches above, and it turned out that the young were on the top as the master had said.

When I got closer, I saw a naked doll among the branches at the top of the tree, waving her little hands and scratching around. Ziniu saw that he was a child, and his simplicity was obvious, and he took off his coat and gently wrapped it around the doll.

But how do you go down? It's a few feet up from under the tree. Ziniu was not stupid, so he wrapped the child and tied it on his back and went down the tree.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, he took the child in his arms and ran towards the Zen monastery with a smile......

Here Fuyuan finished the morning class and returned to his room. While waiting for Ziniu to return, he pondered yesterday's dream.

"In a trance, I felt like I had come to the Holy Land of Bliss, a fairyland. But he hasn't reached the realm of becoming an immortal yet? Just when he was confused, a boy came to him and said that he was here to guide him. He followed the boy, and the aura around him was rich and visible, and the source of surprise was staggering.

When I arrived in the main hall, I was even more surprised, full of golden light, and the spirit lingered. What was even more surprising was the person who saw it, the Bodhisattva to be exact. Manjushri Bodhisattva sat on a lying lion with a wishful lotus in his hand, and Fuyuan hurriedly bowed down, "Amitabha, disciples worship the Bodhisattva." ”

Manjushri raised his hand to signal for exemption, and then said to him, "Today, in the troubled times of the world, there are many demons, ghosts and ghosts are everywhere, and the creatures of the ages have also gone to it. Tomorrow, when the day is communicative, when the sky is in the sky, a baby will be born on the thousand-year-old sycamore. You also sent an uninitiated person to bring back to the temple, this baby has three years of fate with me, and you must be careful to raise it. Recite my Prajna Sutra with him every day, and when the three years are over, you will send him to a childless house at the foot of the mountain. You yourself should also practice well, don't have delusions, and remember that the child and I have only been related for three years, don't think about letting him escape into Buddhism. Go ahead. ”

Fuyuan bowed again, "Obey the Bodhisattva's teachings!" After saying that, he stepped back and walked out, and suddenly a golden lion roared out of the hall......

Then a clever man got up from his bed, thinking back to the dream he had just had, when the lion appeared to the Bodhisattva, wondering if it was the Bodhisattva's mount, but how could he roar at himself?

Squeak... Thump...

It turned out that Ziniu broke into his room without knocking on the door, and was torn down by his clothes.

"Master, Master, I picked up a child in that plane tree. Zi Niu said to Fu Yuan while carefully checking the baby in his arms.

Fuyuan also hurriedly came to him, squatted down to help take the child and looked at it, only to see that the child was born... It's nothing special, it's about the same as an ordinary baby, but it's a little stronger than the ordinary, and the eyes are Danfeng eyes.

"Don't be in a hurry in the future, be careful, and know the etiquette and follow the rules. Fuyuan said as he hugged the child and returned to the chair.

"What about this child?" By the way, Master, how do you know that there will be a child there?" Zi Niu said, getting up.

"Less words and more action, less words and more action......" Fuyuan didn't continue to teach after saying this, because he knew that Ziniu belonged to the stubborn type, so he asked him to see if Zhiren came back, if not, you went to the bottom of the mountain to meet him.

Zi Niu bowed his head and exited the door, and as soon as he closed the door, he turned around and ran towards Jiren's residence.

After a while, I saw Ziniu running towards the mountain gate, and as soon as I got out of the mountain gate, I saw Zhiren walking halfway up the mountain with a lot of things on his shoulder. When he saw this, he sat down on the steps in front of the door and waited for Jiren to come up. I still muttered in my heart, "The masters are too partial, all of you have practiced martial arts, but you don't teach me." Saying that it is not easy to enter the Buddha gate according to my heart, hmph, I am not rare! If it is not for your acceptance, I have nowhere to go, and I will not be here to serve you a long time ago. ”

Zhiren didn't call him when he saw that Ziniu didn't come to pick him up, but sped up and ran to the mountain gate, put down something and kicked Ziniu, pulling him back from his imagination to reality. Zi Niu got up and just patted the place where he was beaten, then leaned over and picked up the cloth bag that Zhiren had put down and walked to the host's room, and did not forget to turn around and explain, "Master asked me to come out and pick you up." As for the beatings, he was used to it, but he was alone or sent under the fence and had only forbearance.

Zhiren responded and knew, so he took a few steps to push Ziniu away and go to the host room first.

When he came to the door of the presiding officer's room, he knocked on the door and shouted, "Master, I have brought back all the things you wanted." ”

"Come in and talk. Fuyuan got up with the child in his arms.

"Ah, Master, whose child is this?, why did you run to the mountain?" Zhiren said, then turned around and shouted, "Stupid cow, hurry up." "Because the children are dressed in the baggage carried by Zi Niu.

"Master, these things are all sent by the Zen temple pilgrim Wang Yuanwai's family, and I don't know what the specific ones need, so I told Wang Yuanwai the truth about you and me, and the things were all obtained by Wang Yuanwai's nurse who ordered his family. Wait a minute to see what is still missing, Wang Yuanwai said, if there is anything missing, send someone to send a message and he will send it up, don't let me run away. Besides, what I can do alone is too limited. Jiren reported and leaned over to look at the child.

After Ziniu entered the door, Fuyuan asked him to find some clothes to see if he could put them on for the child. The clothes were too big, and in the end, I found a large piece of soft cloth and wrapped the child. When changing clothes, Fuyuan found that there was a faint dansha mark on the baby's chest, and it was unclear what it was.

After finishing it, he instructed, "Ziniu, you take good care of this child, and you don't have to do any chores in the future." "It's a bad thing. Instead, he instructed Zhiren, "You help Ziniu bring the child's things to his room, and then bring millet to the firewood room, let them boil some millet porridge, and then go and call your master and uncle to my room." ”

After a while, Hui Neng, Hui Zhen, and Hui Pu came to preside over the place, and after the three of them worshiped the master, they stood quietly and waited for instructions. Fuyuan told him about yesterday's dream, then got up and walked out of the door to look west. "I know that my cultivation is still shallow, and I don't dare to guess the Bodhisattva's will, but I still have to do what the Bodhisattva asks. Fu Yuan said and went back to his room and sat down.

"On the contrary, the three of you should practice diligently, and strive to take on the great responsibility as soon as possible, so that I can return with peace of mind. I have been wandering for some time in the late stage of becoming an immortal, and this time I have listened to the teachings of the Bodhisattva, and I plan to start my retreat today, and the affairs of the temple will be temporarily in the hands of Huineng. ”

"The disciple knows. Hui Neng came out to respond. "Master, don't blame yourself too much, there are few people in this world who have achieved such an achievement. We just practice diligently. Hui Zhen and Hui Pu also echoed together.

"Well, you can do it yourself. Fuyuan said and went out to prepare to go to Shipen Cave. Huineng, of course, the three of them followed.

After Manjushri lived in the stone basin cave, it has been inherited and has become a retreat place for the monks of the Zen monastery.

When he arrived in front of the stone basin cave, Fuyuan turned around and ordered, "You all go back." Huineng stepped forward and said, "Master, when are you going to leave the customs?" By the way, the child doesn't have a name yet, why don't you take one? Although the Bodhisattva said that his Buddha fate is limited, after all, it was your old man who asked someone to bring him back. ”

Fuyuan frowned and thought for a while, "Since he is not a person in the Buddhist sect, he is still taking care of the Bodhisattva, this is the land of the Purple Mansion, and he was born on the plane tree, and there is a slight dansha mark on his chest. He turned to Huineng and said, "Then the child's name is Danqing." As for exiting the customs, don't bother me if you don't have anything serious, wait for me to come out on my own. ”

"Oh, got it. Hui Neng muttered as he responded, Danqing, Danqing......
