Section Forty: Text Thirty-Nine
[69 Book Bar - www.] The master and the apprentice climbed up the tower as a morning exercise. The master was a little out of breath, but Gu Xiaoshui was used to it. She studied painting here, and she had long been accustomed to going up and down.
"How are you doing recently?" Master Dehong asked Neng Ren and said to another mage.
"It's still the same, I'm not crazy." Neng Ren said:
"It's good that you're not crazy. It means your mind is clean and enlightened!" Master Dehong continued:
"What Master Zhike said is..." Another mage said with a troubled expression.
"Just what... Huiping said." Master Dehong asked:
"Recently, there have been a sudden increase in tourists going up the mountain. They are always circling around with their cameras to take pictures of the pagoda. One time, they asked to enter the pagoda to have a look. However, we clearly said that it is an important place for Buddhist practice and tourists should not stop, but they just pretended not to see it." Hui Hui
Master Ping told what he saw.
"If you can bear it, can't you see it?" Master Dehong looked at Nengren and said:
"Whether they can see it or not, they still have to take pictures. Please give me some good advice and stop it." He can tolerate his casual personality and it is difficult to stay in the tower to take care of things. Originally, he came to the tower to achieve enlightenment. When he realized it,
After I put it down, I went back to the temple to chant sutras.
"Xing Jing" Dehong called Gu Xiaoshui, Xiaoshui made a face to Neng Ren and entered the tower gate with his master.
"Master Zhike, I'm afraid this won't work, she is..." Huiping stopped outside the tower door with some embarrassment and said.
"What happened to her? She is my disciple!" Master Dehong said:
"But she is a female streamer. According to the ancestral teachings left by the ancestors, female streamers cannot enter this tower." Huiping said, Master Dehong probably forgot the ancestral teachings of the ancestors.
"A female prostitute?" Master Dehong listened and glanced at Gu Xiaoshui.
I couldn't bear to chuckle and thought: "Vulgar is too vulgar:"
Master Dehong looked at Neng Ren who was snickering and raised his voice and said: "Go and get the painting on the seventh floor, the old cinnabar red ink and the box of copper needles:"
"What are you going to do...?" Neng Ren suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart. He glanced at Gu Xiaoshui and asked.
"Don't ask when you need to ask, but you can ask quickly when you don't need to ask. Go ahead." Master Dehong said. Nengren and Huiping entered the pagoda together. Gu Xiaoshui looked at the master who was looking up at the layers of pagodas.
She didn't know that her grandfather had been recuperating here, and that Master Dehong was practicing here in seclusion. Only the master clearly remembered what happened in this tower. No one except him could know it.
Gu Chunlei, who attends the best key high school in Haizhou City, has been studying silently by herself. The ten years of hard work are just for today. She remembers her grandma’s words, and she wants the ancestral hall to be opened for their family again. The key high school is for the famous universities.
She is the only child who has been admitted to this school in the entire Shaqiao Town. She was originally recommended directly, but she didn't want to. She wanted to get in based on her true ability. The recommended quota was given to
She and Ye Chao have been classmates from elementary school to high school. Gu Haifeng suddenly changed his gender after his sister left. Although he couldn't catch up with Ye Chao and Gu Chunlei's grades, he successfully passed the police examination.
College, he is getting closer and closer to Ye Chao's prediction of becoming a policeman.
"Do you want to go see your sister?" Ye Chao asked Gu Chunlei who was reading a book.
"Don't look!" Gu Chunlei said without raising her head.
"Why, your grandma is not with you now. You can take the car to see Xiaoshui." Ye Chao took the book in her hand and said.
"Give it to me, it's up to you to see it for yourself. Anyway, the three of you have been playing crazy together since childhood." Gu Chunlei stood up and left, leaving Ye Chao sitting alone on the grass of the campus and looking at the sky. He still really missed this Gu Xiaoshui.
, I don’t know how she has been living in the past few years. Thinking about how she used to call him brother, I smiled slightly.
"Master, shall we go down the mountain?" Gu Xiaoshui asked Master Dehong a little impatiently. He could bear it, took the things and handed them to Dehong and said, "You have to think about it!"
"Come down the mountain to my meditation room in the evening." After Master Dehong said to Neng Ren, he took his things and took Gu Xiaoshui down the mountain. Halfway through, a group of foreign tourists came up and happened to pass them by. Gu Xiaoshui suddenly found a person who seemed to be
She had seen it somewhere but couldn't remember it. She looked back.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and follow him." The master shouted, and Gu Xiaoshui took three steps at a time and then two steps to catch up with him.
"Xing Ming, let Xing Ren, Xing Guang, Xing Yuan come over." Master Dehong said to Xing Ming. Xing Ming went out and called all the brothers to the living room. Neng Ren arrived, and he must have known what to do next.
, he glanced at the large and small monks entering Master Dehong's Zen room.
"Xing Ren, prepare some clean water for your junior sister to bathe in." Dehong said to Xing Ren, who was closest to Gu Xiaoshui.
"Quiet water?" Xingren said doubtfully as it was the first time he heard the term water since he became a monk.
"Idiot, it's just agarwood powder sprinkled on the bathing water." Xingguang interjected.
"Master wants to ordain Xiao Shui?" Xing Ming asked confused, because he remembered that his senior brother said that the disciples of Shokaishan and Guanmen must bathe in pure water before Master ordains them.
"Xing Nin, go ahead." Xing Guang pretended to be a senior and said to Xing Nin.
"Let me give her a bath?" Xing Ren said a little uncomfortable.
"Xiang Yun's grandmother, layman Wang, lives in my temple all year round. Let her go and give Xingjing a bath." Master Dehong said to Gu Xiaoshui: "Go and take a clean bath with senior brother to Grandma Wang."
"Oh, okay!" Gu Xiaoshui didn't know what was going to happen next, so she happily followed her senior brother to Grandma Xiang Yun's room.
Seeing the master entering the Zen room and muttering something to Neng Ren, Xing Guang outside was now happy! Xiao Shui was ordained and was going to be sent to the Women's Buddhist Academy outside. No one would bully him anymore.
She has been given all the delicious food and fun in the year, and she has had enough!
"Master, Xiao Shui has washed it!" Gu Xiaoshui followed Xing Ren in with wet hair. Xing Guang snickered when he saw her. Gu Xiaoshui gave him a roll of his eyes and looked at Diao Diao, who had been lazy recently. Xing Guang was honest.
After being sent to the Zen room, the brothers did not dare to leave without Master's order.
"Come on, kid." Dehong took a piece of white paper and put it on the desk. Then he took out the jade box that Grandpa Gu asked Xiaoshui to hand over to him. He said that this jade box is really exquisite and you can tell it is of the highest quality at a glance.
It was made of fine jade. When Xiaoshui took a closer look, it was really beautiful and exquisite. There were lotus flowers carved on the outside, and there were two boys.
She touched the beads on the top of the box and asked, "Old man, what is this?"
"This is a relic, from the body of Master's great master." Master Dehong looked at this relic shaped like a rosary and said. The great master is so far away that I can't tell which dynasty it is. It seems that he was added later.
Yes. But Master Taigong should be the previous abbot of Pumen Temple.
"What is engraved on the outside of this box is the two immortals of harmony, which are the incarnations of Manjushri and Samantabhadra." Master Dehong pointed to the two jade-carved children and said to Gu Xiaoshui. Then he opened a painting: the woman in the painting is very delicate and beautiful.
, although somewhat similar to Gu Xiaoshui, but more like a silly girl. The woman’s smile was vivid, and her eyes were smiling as if she were looking at Gu Xiaoshui.
Xiaoshui liked it very much and asked, "Is this a fairy?"
"This is Miss Xilan!" Master Dehong said. Gu Xiaoshui was shocked and looked again. It turned out that there really was Fairy Xilan. The place where she once fell into the water in Xilan Lake was where she was looking for the monk who saved her life.
Grandpa tricked me into coming to this temple.
"Is there really a fairy?" Gu Xiaoshui looked at his master and asked in surprise. Neng Ren began to mix the cinnabar red ink, while watching the master and apprentice.
"Master will tell you this story when you grow up." Master Dehong put away the picture and opened the jade box. A small golden seal appeared in front of his eyes. He touched the seal tightly to adjust his breathing.
