Li Ye and the old monk stopped talking about Xu. The old monk looked at him and said, "You can sleep here. The weather is fine and you don't need a quilt."

Li Ye thought for a while and then said: "I originally wanted to copy a volume of scriptures for Master, but later I gave it to Mr. Tang on Phoenix Mountain. It seems that I will only copy it to you, Master, one day."

After thinking about it, it was already getting late, so I would tell the old monk about Poxu Monk in a few days.

"The days are long, don't be in a hurry." After saying this, the old monk got up and walked to the back room.

Li Ye, who had been running around all day, tilted his body and fell down in front of the Buddhist altar, with his head on the futon and fell into a deep sleep.

...

In the early morning, Chi Jing woke up to the sound of the temple bell, washed his face and brushed his teeth, followed the old monk, and the two of them went to the main hall together. Li Ye found a corner to meditate, and the sound of wooden fish intertwined with the chanting of sutras, and the morning class began.

After finishing their homework, they heard the sound of the cloud board, and all lined up to the dining hall. With the Veena Master saying an offering to purify the Dharma body, the meal and chanting began. After the chanting, it was time to eat.

Following the old monk on the way back to the Buddhist hall, the old monk murmured softly in front of him, and Li Ye followed behind, with his hands clasped together and chanting scriptures in his mouth.

The two returned to the Buddhist hall together. The old monk lit an oil lamp and lit a stick of incense, while Li Ye made a fire to boil water.

The old monk sat down against the Buddhist altar, looked at Li Ye and said, "I will tell you another allusion based on what I said yesterday. You will have a deeper understanding of Buddhism."

Li Ye nodded, stopped what he was doing, and sat in front of Monk Li.

Manjushri Bodhisattva once asked Samantabhadra Bodhisattva in the mountains: There are people in the world who slander me, bully me, humiliate me, laugh at me, belittle me, belittle me, and lie to me. How should I deal with them?

"How does the Bodhisattva answer?" Li Ye looked at the old monk and said seriously.

The old monk did not answer him, but continued:

Puxian Bodhisattva said: Just tolerate him, let him, let him go, avoid him, be patient with him, respect him, ignore him, wait for a few years and you can see him.

Li Ye clasped his hands together and said, "Great kindness."

Bodhisattva Wente asked a very good question, and Bodhisattva Samantabhadra answered wonderfully. This way of living is neither overt nor secret fighting, but neither vindictive nor angry. Keep your eyes open and go your own way. I believe you can laugh.

at last.

"You can read this allusion in the Sutra Pavilion in the temple when you have time in the future. I will tell you now. I just hope that when you encounter many unsatisfactory experiences in the practice of the path of suffering, you will think of Samantabhadra's words.

If you do, it will resolve the many dissatisfactions in your heart."

The old monk looked up at the Bodhisattva on the Buddhist altar and said softly.

Li Ye kowtowed to the old monk and said, "Disciples know this truth. Didn't Master teach me in the past two years: troubles are Bodhi. Without troubles, where would Bodhi come from?"

When the old monk heard this, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Amitabha, this is the truth. I didn't expect you to remember the teachings I taught you two years ago. It's very rare! Very good. I'd like to see your practice ten years later."

"Don't worry, Master. If you really need to practice for ten years to achieve perfection, then I will definitely come back to see you after you complete it." Li Ye clasped his hands together and made a wish in front of the Buddha for ten years.

The old monk nodded, turned the beads in his hand, and said to Li Ye with a smile: "In the future, whether you are practicing in a temple or walking in the world, you should never make wishes to others easily. Because once you make a wish, there will be cause and effect."

When Li Ye heard this, he looked at the old monk blankly and was speechless for a long time.

The old monk ignored him and continued.

"Having cause and effect means that you must understand this cause and effect no matter what. In the world, a small cause and effect often leads to countless causes and effects. In the end, there is nothing to pay back, and there is no knot to tie up. In the end, it will entangle you for the rest of your life...

..."

Li Ye, who was pouring tea for the old monk, was startled. He put down the teapot, held the teacup in both hands and handed it to the old monk.

He murmured: "There will always be times when it is inevitable to make a wish."

The old monk took the teacup, looked at Li Ye lovingly, and sighed after a long while.

"Idiot, the many worries in the world have made people miserable. Try not to make promises if you can, and try not to make karma if you can."

"Knowing that good causes are good and fruits are good, evil causes are bad and fruits bear fruit. No matter what, it is not something worthy of praise." The old monk frowned slightly.

After three courses of tea, the old monk waved his hand and said, "You should go back today. Remember what I told you. Come to practice in five days. I will make arrangements for you. Don't bring any luggage when you come."

After saying this, the old monk closed his eyes and began to chant sutras.

Li Ye put down the teapot, kowtowed to the old monk, stood up and left.

...

After coming out of the mountain gate, he took out a bamboo hat and put it on his head. He called a carriage and jumped on it. He said to the driver: "Please go into the city and go to Zizhuyuan."

Pull down the curtain and stop making any noise.

"Sit tight, little sir, let's set off now." The coachman whipped his horse, and the carriage ran towards the city.

Li Ye, who was sitting in the carriage, was happy and a little worried at the same time. Thinking that he would soon see his father and mother after two years apart, his sister whom he had never seen before, and Mu Mu, whom he had not seen for a long time, he was inevitably happy.

He also thought that his current state was completely lacking. From the outside, his cultivation only looked like a state of gathering energy. He didn't know how to explain it to a bunch of people. The cultivation of the inner world is indeed much more troublesome than on Tianshan Mountain.

Fortunately, I will come to the Great Buddha Temple to practice in five days, so I think I can avoid a lot of social activities and worries.

The carriage flew all the way, and before long, it had stopped in front of the gate of Zizhuyuan.

He jumped off the carriage, paid the driver, put his hands behind his back, and walked toward the gate.

"Who are you looking for, young sir? No one is allowed in here." Agui, who was carrying a food box from outside and returning home, looked at Li Ye's back and called out.

"This is my home, will you let me in?" Li Ye said with a smile without looking back.

"Master, you're back! I miss Agui so much." Agui heard Li Ye's voice and hurried forward, stretching out a hand to pull Li Ye's sleeve.

"Don't pull me, what are you talking about? What did you buy back this early in the morning? Didn't you cook at home?" Li Ye frowned.

"Your wife and Mu Mu want to eat steamed buns. I went to buy some. Master, do you want to eat two?" Agui let go of his hand and followed Li Ye inside.

"I've had breakfast in the temple. Are my parents up?" Li Ye asked softly.

"We're all up. We're sitting in front of the hall drinking tea! Master, it's not raining. Why are you wearing a bamboo hat? Do you want to take it off and let me hold it for you?"

Agui looked at Li Ye's strange look and asked in confusion.

Li Ye waved his hand and said, "You don't need to pay attention to my matters."

While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived in front of the hall.

I saw Ye Zhiqiu feeding porridge with Li Xiaoxue in his arms, Li Hongxiu sitting next to Mr. Yi and drinking tea, Xiaoqing and Mumu were nowhere to be seen, and Xiaobai was nowhere to be seen.

Li Ye looked at Ye Zhiqiu, his eyes turned red, and he ran forward and knelt down in front of Ye Zhiqiu, calling softly: "Mother."

Ye Zhiqiu watched a man wearing a bamboo hat follow Agui from a distance, but he didn't expect it to be his son. He was shocked and almost dropped the bowl in his hand to the ground, and quickly put the bowl on the table.

He stepped forward to help Li Ye up, and his tears fell down in a flash. After not seeing her son for two years, the mother felt as sad as a knife cutting through her heart.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back! Oh, why are you wearing a hat on this hot day? Take it off quickly." Ye Zhiqiu was as curious as Agui.

Li Ye was startled, thought for a while, and slowly took off the purple bamboo hat on his head, raised his head, and looked at Ye Zhiqiu quietly.

Ye Zhiqiu was stunned, stuffed Li Xiaoxue into Li Hongxiu, hugged Li Ye tightly, and cried: "What evil did you do? How did you end up like this? How will you go out to meet people in the future!"

"

Li Hongxiu turned her head to look at Li Ye, and with a "pop" sound, a mouthful of tea almost sprayed on her husband's body.

He smiled and said: "Little guy, what are you doing? Do you want to sing?"

Yao Xiaoxue in her arms looked at Li Ye and opened her mouth and called, "Brother...brother."

Li Hongxiu looked at Li Xiaoxue in her arms in surprise and patted her butt gently.

He said: "Mom, I hold you, feed you, and wipe your butt every day. You haven't learned to call me, but you should learn to call this brother you have never met before. I'm so angry."

The gentleman pointed to the stool in front of him and said, "Sit down and talk, and drink tea first."

Agui put down his food box and stood aside, staring blankly at a few people.

The master came out when he heard the commotion outside, looked at Li Ye who was sitting, and smiled with satisfaction.

He nodded and said, "Yes, as you grow taller, you become more energetic." In his eyes, he didn't care about the light gray on Li Ye's face. To him, as long as his son was well, that would be enough.

.

Ye Zhiqiu wiped away tears and sat next to Li Ye, holding his hand tightly and not letting go. Li Xiaoxue looked at Li Ye with her dark eyes open.

In desperation, Li Ye sighed and said softly: "Father and mother, my son was struck by lightning on the mountain, so he became like this. It's not a big deal, I have already got used to it."

The husband nodded and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that Ye'er is like this. It won't make people miss you. It will naturally change back later, so don't worry."

Li Ye took out a handkerchief and wiped Ye Zhiqiu's tears.

He held her hand and said with a smile: "Mom and Dad, where are the younger brother and sister I picked up for you on the mountain?"

Ye Zhiqiu pointed to the back mountain and said: "Xiao Bai is very good. He went to get water from the spring to make tea for Mr. Mu. Mu Mu took Xiao Qing and was still snoozing on the bed."

"It's still lively down the mountain, but Xiaobai and I are bored up the mountain." Li Ye looked around and sighed.

Li Ye took his sister from Li Hongxiu's arms, kissed her little face, and said with a smile: "Sister, call me brother again."

Li Xuemei made him giggle so much that she called out again in a sweet voice: "Brother."

The master patted the table, looked at the husband, pointed at Li Ye and said: "Sir, look at it, my daughter hasn't learned to call her dad yet, she has to learn to call her brother first."

Ye Zhiqiu, who was wiping away tears, looked at his master and said angrily: "She knows that Ye'er is good to her, and there are good things in the mountains that are kept for her. Naturally, she learned to call her brother first."

"I came to see you, but why do I feel that I can't resist it? You have such a fair and handsome little guy, but after being separated from me for a year, you have turned into a gray and gray face. It's really heart-wrenching."
