Chapter 165: Silent (Part 2)
The eldest brother grew up in a temple, but in his early years, his master traveled around for many years. The eldest brother learned martial arts from his third uncle. In terms of Buddhism and his behavior, he was more inclined to the abbot, so their master-apprentice relationship was not very close.
The second and third brothers entered the mountain without much guidance from the master.
Only fate is there to be fate, and I will be with my master at the age of five, and I will not be separated until after taking the great precepts. It lasts for sixteen years. The master treated him as a disciple who taught him.
It can be said that Yuanxing is the most favored among the several brothers and brothers, and he is also the one who knows the master's character best.
I couldn't help but think that when I was a child, my master kept him by my side all day long, and he was rarely separated and taught me carefully.
As long as he is a human being, how can he not make mistakes? So he has been punished by kneeling incense, standing in a row, cleaning the room, etc., but he is rarely beaten.
Until he was fifteen years old, his master suddenly asked him if he was used to being a monk and if he still had the intention to return to secular worldly affairs.
Yuan Xing had already accepted his fate at that time and was more accustomed to the hard life of the temple. He answered directly without hesitation: "I don't want to return to secular life."
The master seemed very happy at that time. Yuanxing saw that he was happy and became happy, but it turned out to be a tragedy.
After this day, the master always held a stick in his hand. Once there was a mistake in reciting the scriptures, he would not even look at them, and beat them up with his backhand.
When worshiping Buddha, he felt a little negligent, and he beat him up again.
I was lazy and sleepy when doing Buddhist rituals, but I still beat them up.
Yuan Xing was dissatisfied and made a few words of defense. His third senior brother who had just returned to secular life was too shameless before, and he had never seen his master treat him like this.
The master scolded: "Can you be the same as him?" After that, he continued to beat him up.
However, the master doesn't care about everything and doesn't care about ordinary minorities. Even if he violates the precepts, he will not be as angry as he treats Buddhist affairs.
For example, when he was a child, Yuanxing and the third senior brother were teasing each other, so he rarely cared about it. After the third senior brother returned to secular life, Yuanxing and the young novice monk often chatted with jokes. As long as it was not dirty jokes, he ignored it. He secretly hid and played the pipa because he was tired of his homework, and the master pretended not to see it.
The thought of fate is mature? Not a young man in the rebellious period? After discovering this rule, he will naturally be cautious in doing things. Maybe he was beaten and scolded too much? He understood the true intention in his heart. Later, the master scolded him again? His face was completely gone, and he smiled.
The master looked at him deeply for a long time before nodding with satisfaction. Since then, Yuanxing has never been beaten again.
But? I went back to the mountain again after ten years and actually had to live a life of punishment again. Is it because my Buddhist practice is slow?
It was lunch time again, Shanguo left early, Yuan Xing touched his stomach with his hands? He sighed in a low voice, he was ready to be hungry for another day.
Isn't he stupid? Lunch is right in front of him, and he can get it with just one step. No, with his hidden weapon skills, two stones can hit the tiled bowl in front of him? Just use some strength in your hand? There will be loopholes to drill.
He guessed the master’s intention. But after all, he had been away from the mountain for ten years, and the master did not understand him.
"Aren't you afraid that your master will not give you food? Or are you sure he won't let you starve to death?" Jin Chan suddenly appeared.
"This is not a meal. The rope can be regarded as a barrier to practice. My realm has not reached, and it seems too deliberate to go out. The old man may be happy, and I don't have to go hungry. But what is fake is fake. What is the benefit?"
He knew that this would not help his realm at all, and would even hinder it because it was a lie. Therefore, if the situation was different, it might be very different, but I can only blame the old monk for not understanding his disciples, and his methods were a little anxious, which made Yuan Xing notice his intention.
"You are not a rigid person? Otherwise, you wouldn't have been rude to give up your precepts and break them. Why are you so stubborn this time? You must fight against your master?" Jin Chan asked again.
"At that time, although I broke the precepts, the rules in my heart were not broken, and I would be able to bear the consequences. But after seeing Huaizhen, I realized that sooner or later, I would reach his level. If I am not cautious, I will harm others and myself. At least for now, I only feel that the rope is very safe. I am afraid that I will do something against my will to fill my stomach today, and to achieve my goal tomorrow, it will be easy to cross the rope, but it will be difficult to break the barriers of practice; it is easy to eat lunch, but it is difficult to calm my mind. Master did this wrong."
"You can try to force yourself, maybe it will be another scene when you step out."
"I tried it, but after three days, I still couldn't get out. This time I was punished, and since it was a practice, why not face my original heart?"
"What if your master is really anxious, why don't you give you food?"
"That monk would rather starve to death." Yuan Xing suddenly lowered his eyes and closed his eyes, and replied in his heart.
While talking in his heart, Shanming Xiaoshami still came far away with the tiled bowl. Unlike the previous few days, this time he stepped over the rope and handed the tiled bowl to the smiling Yuanxing. He smiled apologetically again, and then ran away alone.
Yuan Xing looked down at the food in the bowl that had a lot more than before, shook his head and laughed, knowing that the test was over.
I glanced at the rope not far away and suddenly realized in my heart that if I wanted to step out of the rope, no one's forced force was actually useless, and I could only rely on himself...
What Yuan Xing didn't know was that just as he was eating voraciously, a topic about him once unfolded in the pavilion next to the vegetarian room.
This time, there were only two abbots and Fu Guang in the pavilion.
"What do you think? There is no one else now, so it's time to tell me, right?" The abbot still looked smiling and suddenly asked.
Fuguang faced the unfavorable chess game, frowned and pondered for a long time before letting go of his son, and said lightly: "What's my purpose? Didn't you say it yesterday?"
"I'm afraid that Yuanxing has seen it long ago, even if he takes that step, what's the use?" The abbot snorted: "I have some guesses, do you like to say it or not. Apart from Yuan Chen's stubbornness, I'm afraid that even the good fruit can be seen." He laughed, and the blackzi fell down, and then raised Bai Zi who was besieged.
"Ouch." Fuguang slapped his forehead in annoyance, picked up the teacup beside the table, took a big sip, and then whispered: "If he takes that step, he will be an obedient and willing disciple, who is enough to take over the position of the supervisory institute and assist Yuanfa in managing the temple."
"What about now?" the abbot raised his eyebrows and stared at the other party tightly.
But Fu Guang put down the teacup and just smiled but didn't answer.
