"Don't understand the master?!" When the old nun in the old clothes who shook the dragon bell step by step appeared outside the door of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the faces of the nuns and the others couldn't help but show surprise, and at the same time, it was difficult to hide the disappointment in their hearts.
In many cases, "master" is just a polite title, even for monks.
It is said that she has been practicing in the nunnery for eighty or ninety years, and her rank is higher than that of the current abbot of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, Yuding Monk, but that's about it.
Eighty or ninety years have passed like water, the abbot of the Temple of Mercy and Grace and the host of the Kongse Nunnery have changed one stubble after another, but the old nun in the silk clothes has always swept her floor, wiped her table, guarded her scripture pavilion, and done the rough work that only new disciples who have just started to do for a hundred years.
This matter is not that the hosts of the Kongse Nunnery in the past generations were deliberately mean, but the qualifications of the old nun in the clothes were too mediocre, and there was no possibility of cultivation at all, and I don't know how she was accepted into the gate wall of the Temple of Mercy and Grace back then.
Even ordinary nuns can break through the realm of entering the house at worst before the age of eighteen, and there are even geniuses like the Absolute Gold Master, who have been successfully promoted to the realm of Tongyun at the age of sixteen.
In contrast, the cultivation of the old nun in the cloth was simply outrageously slow, and it was not until she was fifty years old that she barely entered the realm of ascending to the hall, so that even her senior sister who was the head of the Kongse Nunnery at that time was completely dead.
For such a legendary figure in the nunnery, Huizhi Nun and others are naturally like thunder, but they have no contact with the old nun in silk clothes on weekdays, and they don't know when she accepted a little monk as an apprentice.
Previously, when the nuns of Kongse Nunnery heard Diao Xiaosi talk about his master, they were full of energy, as if as long as this great and virtuous monk appeared, even the Yuding monk had to kneel down to greet him.
How do you know that it is better to be famous than to meet, looking at the trembling old nun in the clothes, I couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
"Master, are you tired of walking?" Diao Xiaosi stepped on one step, took out the handkerchief that had been prepared from his arms, respectfully handed it to the old nun in the silk clothes, and then rubbed her shoulders and knocked her back diligently, showing all the housekeeping skills when he was pleasing the old godmother.
The old nun in the silk clothes wiped the sweat that did not exist on her forehead, looked at the group of empty nuns standing not far away, and said suspiciously: "Amitabha, are you waiting for someone?"
According to common sense, she is already a human scattered immortal who has mastered the secrets of the cave, and what happens in the empty color nunnery is difficult to escape the wisdom of the heart, such as the "Tianyantong" or "Tianertong" as the Buddhists say.
However, the old nun in the cloth is an exception, she seems to live only in her dreams forever, and the only thing left behind in the red dust of the world that worries her is the black cat with a fat head and big ears.
"Master, they're here to complain to you!" Diao Xiaosi replied before Hui Zhi Nun did.
"Sue?" the old nun in the silk clothes was stunned and said, "Xiao Ding, are you causing any trouble again?"
"It's not me, it's the senior brother who is in trouble. ”
The fat cat was lying on the door of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion basking in the sun, and when he heard Diao Xiaosi mention his name, he immediately pricked up his ears and opened his eyes.
I only heard the little junior brother say: "It scratched Senior Sister Hui'an, and it was pitiful that flower-like face, and in the blink of an eye, the landslide was full of devastation, and the flies were so scared that they didn't dare to bite." It just so happened that there were two senior brothers from the Discipline Academy, and if they didn't like it, they wanted to step forward to hug Senior Sister Hui'an, but they were beaten by the senior brother three times and five divided by two. ”
"Meow-" The fat cat's fur rushed to the crown, and the sharp cat's claws poked out from the soles of its feet, rubbing back and forth on the bluestone steps with a sonorous sound, causing a string of sparks to "crackle" and splash around.
The old nun in the silk clothes was taken aback and said, "How can Xiao Sleepy hurt people?"
Diao Xiaosi hid behind the old nun in the silk clothes and said loudly: "The monks don't speak. If the master does not believe what the disciple says, he can ask the senior sisters and sisters. ”
Hui Zhi hurriedly said: "I don't understand the master, this little junior brother is telling the truth, but ......"
She was just about to explain the ins and outs of the matter to the old nun in the clothes, but Diao Xiaosi cut off the conversation, looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's miserable, it's miserable!"
Hui Zhi was not angry when Diao Xiaosi interrupted his speech, and said in astonishment: "Little junior brother, what are you talking about?"
In fact, there is nothing worse than Hui'an's face, but Diao Xiaosi knows that the old nun in the clothes is indifferent by nature and has no quarrel with the world. To put it mildly, three sticks can't make a stuffy fart. If you want to provoke her to make a move, the usual routine will not work at all.
"Isn't this the flea on the bald man's head—an obvious matter? Those two monks suffered a great loss, and they certainly couldn't swallow the evil breath in their chests, so they told the old monk of the precept institute about it. Then the old monk will take a group of big monks, middle monks, and small monks to surround the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and arrest the senior brother everywhere. ”
He said with a bitter face: "Although the senior brother is clever and capable, after all, he can't stop the many people in the Discipline Academy, and he can only be generous and benevolent in the end, and the monks of the Discipline Academy strip off the cat skin, air dry the cat meat, pull out the cat tendons, and break the cat bones...... By the way, there are also two crystal clear, turquoise round cat's eyes, cut them out and wash them, and take them out to sell them for a lot of silver. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the senior brother got under the hem of the old nun's clothes and refused to show his face again, and his eyes became greener.
Those little nuns only know how to eat fasting and chant Buddha meditation and practice, and they don't know anything about human affairs.
Hui Zhi shook his head desperately and said, "No, monks have the virtue of a good life." I believe that the elders of the Precept House will never do such a cruel thing with high morality and compassion. ”
Diao Xiaosi sighed and said: "Little nun, are you still naïve? How did Master Jue Jin die? She was also the host of the dignified Kongse Nunnery during her lifetime, and the senior brother was just a cat who only saw righteousness and bravery! I guess Jian Yu and Jian Cong fled back to the Discipline Academy, and they would definitely not say how they were flying and domineering, stupid, stupid, and incapable of bullying people, but would only say that the senior brother was a thousand-year-old cat demon who had cultivated into a ferocious and bloodthirsty cat. Then the old monks of the Discipline Academy will rush into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and want to join forces to eliminate demons and kill the senior brother to clarify the universe. ”
The oldest nun hurriedly said, "We can all be ...... Well, this senior brother of the cat testified and reported the cause and effect of the matter to the elders of the Discipline Academy. ”
"What are you kidding? Those two monks were sent by the Discipline Academy. If they can distinguish between right and wrong, and be impartial, how can they not ask the truth and go to the precept court to ask for guilt?"
Hui Zhi said gloomily: "It's all poor and nun, and it has affected everyone and Senior Brother Cat." I then went to the precept house to confess my sins, and I was left to the disposal of the elders. ”
All the girls shouted in unison: "No, Senior Sister Huizhi, you just said two fair words for your master, what is the crime?"
Diao Xiaosi glanced at the old nun in the clothes, thinking that the fire should be almost over, and said with a righteous and awe-inspiring chest: "Okay, who will go to hell if I don't go to hell?" Master, you take all the senior sisters and senior brothers to leave the empty nunnery quickly and find a place to avoid the limelight. Although the disciples did not have the ability to be hard-headed, they went to the Discipline Academy to reason with them. It's a big deal that all the blame is borne by the disciples, and my heart is still cut by a thousand knives!"
As soon as these words came out, all the female nuns were immediately moved, Diao Xiaosi turned around again, bowed to the old nun in the silk clothes, and choked up slightly: "Master, the apprentice is unpredictable, take care of your old man, don't think of me." These days, I have followed you to read the scriptures and recite the Buddha, and I have learned a lot of the principles of being a monk, but unfortunately I can no longer listen to your teachings day and night in the future. It's a pity to hear that Dao died at the end of the day—farewell, master, farewell, senior brother, farewell, all young and beautiful little masters are too ......"
"Good, good—" The old nun nodded and said, "Xiaoding, you can have this chivalrous courage, and the poor nun is very happy." Since it is a small hardship that hurts people, it should be borne by the poor nuns. You don't have to worry, all the teachers and nephews in the Vinaya are all Buddhist monks and can be reasonable. ”
Hui Zhi said, "Master, we will go to the Discipline Academy with you. ”
"Yes, let's go together!
Diao Xiaosi secretly moved behind the people with a face full of righteous indignation, preparing to retire upstairs to sleep after his success, when he suddenly heard Hui Zhi say earnestly: "Little junior brother, we are clumsy and stupid and can't speak, for fear that we will mess things up." Why don't you go with us, explain the cause of this matter to the elders of the Precept Academy, and ask them to judge impartially. ”
Diao Xiaosi was startled, thinking that he had dealt with the thieves of Ci'en Temple a lot, although he had shaved his hair, it was difficult to ensure that the monks in the precept courtyard would not recognize him, and when the time came, he was afraid that he would die without a problem, and one person could shoot himself into a pulp if he came out with one hand.
The old nun in the silk clothes couldn't understand Diao Xiaosi's hardship, and said with a smile: "Yes, Xiaoding, we are all monks, and we only want to eat and pray for Buddha every day with a clear conscience." If you go to the precept institute or have a dispute, you can use it wisely. ”
"Master, the disciple is also a monk now—"
Suddenly, the senior brother poked his head out from under the old nun's monk's robe and yawned, and the cold light shimmered on the cat's paws came out and pulled desperately on the ground, and the hard bluestone slab was disemboweled like tender tofu, and the stone chips were splashed.
Diao Xiaosi's scalp was swollen, and he thought he was unlucky: "But since the master has a life, how dare the disciple disobey?
The old nun rejoiced, "That's very good." ”
"Just in case, the more people we go there the better. As the saying goes, all mouths are united, but the law is not responsible, and everyone is overcrowded...... In short, the old monk of the Discipline Academy will not dare to mess around when he sees that there are many of us. Just give it to the old ...... Everyone has a fair, open and just opportunity to make things clear, then sit back and relax and everything will be fine. ”
A nun agreed: "The little junior brother is reasonable, the poor nun will immediately go and summon the other junior sisters in the nunnery!"
"Well, while you're here, the poor monk should also dress up a little. ”
Hui Zhiqi said: "Little junior brother, I'm going to petition for grievances, why do I have to dress up?"
"Little nun, you don't understand," Diao Xiaosi clasped his hands together and said respectfully: "Amitabha, my appearance is the appearance of right and wrong, the appearance of people, the appearance of sentient beings, and the appearance of the long-lived......
