Chapter 505 Seeing the mountain is the mountain
When Li Ye carried Nan Ruyu, Mu Mu, Xiaoqing, and Xiaohua, who was taking care of Nangong Ruyu, to the small courtyard at the back of Prajna Temple, he found that little monk Wuyou and Wuxin were sitting in the courtyard making tea and chatting.
As soon as Nangong Ruyu, who was like a porcelain doll, saw Wu Xin, she immediately jumped off Li Ye's back, ran over and threw herself into his arms, crying: "Daddy doesn't love Ruyu, don't
It’s like jade.”
Wuxin, who was holding a teacup, was shocked when he saw that Li Ye actually carried his daughter to Prajna Temple. The cup in his hand almost fell on the stone table.
Holding Nangong Yu'er in his arms, Wuxin nodded to Li Ye and asked softly: "Didn't the young master return to the Imperial City in the Central Region? Why did he come to the Buddha's Capital again?"
Li Ye looked at him without saying anything. He looked at Wuyou and asked, "Has my room been tidied up?"
Wuyou looked at him excitedly, nodded vigorously, and said with a smile: "It has been cleaned up a long time ago. Uncle Minghui said you will be back in a few days. I have to come here to clean it up every day."
Li Ye turned to look at Mu Mu and Xiao Hua, who was taking care of Nangong Ruyu, and said, "You go and tidy up the room first, and rest for a while before cooking."
Xiaohua looked at Li Ye and said, "Then I will live in the same room as Yu'er!"
Li Ye nodded, looked at her and smiled: "That's natural."
Mu Mu took Xiaoqing's hand and walked inside, saying as she walked: "Xiaoqing, I'll take you to see where I live." She hadn't been back for several years, and Mu Mu felt a little excited. After all, she had lived here.
Quite a few days.
Li Ye didn't ask Wu Xin why he wanted to go back to Prajna Temple. He wanted to wait until he saw Ming Hui tomorrow before making a decision.
Now he has to settle the issue of food and accommodation for Nangong Ruyu and Xiaohua. Firewood, rice, oil and salt are not a problem in the mountains, but Nan Ruyu is still young and always has to eat some meat to replenish his strength. It seems that this matter will have to trouble Mu Mu and Xiaoqing.
Already.
If he had been in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion in the Central Region at this moment, he would never have imagined that he would bring Wuxin's female work from the Buddhist capital to the Prajna Temple to practice.
Fortunately, there are Mu Mu, Xiao Qing, and Xiao Hua sent by Nangong Xuanyuan to take care of his grandson.
Li Ye still remembered that when he saw Nangong Ruyu for the first time, he suddenly felt like he saw Song Yu'er in his previous life.
Nangong Ruyu and Li Ye had no intention of admitting their lives. When Nanning Xuanyuan told her that the young man in front of her could take her to Prajna Temple to find Wu Xin, she nodded and agreed without thinking.
In her little heart, her mother is no longer here, and the closest thing to her is naturally her father who left home and went to the mountains.
And if she wanted to see her father, she had to follow the young man in front of her who even wanted to call her father Junior Uncle.
"Do you want Yu'er to call you Master?" Nangong Xuanyuan looked at Li Ye and said with a smile.
Li Ye was stunned, thinking that I am only a teenager, and I am already a master.
Thinking about it, I felt it was inappropriate, so she looked at him and smiled and said, "We each have our own business. If Yu'er goes to the mountains and wants to practice, just call me master, and my sister and I will teach him."
Only the title of master was acceptable to Li Ye, he thought to himself.
Nangong Xuanyuan was overjoyed, looked at Nangong Yu'er and said with a smile: "If you don't hurry up and call Master, such an opportunity will never come again."
Without waiting for the two of them to reply, he immediately asked the housekeeper to arrange an apprenticeship ceremony for Nangong Ruyu to formally accept Li Ye as his apprentice...
In this way, Li Ye stayed in the Nangong family for a few days, accepted Nangong Ruyu as his first disciple, and then the group left the Buddhist capital and came to the Prajna Temple in Fangcun Mountain.
I wonder if my husband would scold me for being ridiculous if he knew about this.
One is his nephew and the other is his apprentice.
When he thought of this, Li Ye looked at Wu Xin walking over with a wry smile.
"Yu'er, go find Sister Xiaohua and see where you sleep at night. You can sleep for a while first, and we'll cook for you when you wake up." Li Ye asked Nangong Yu'er to have a rest. She got up too early today, so I guess she I have long been out of spirit.
"Yu'er is sleepy. Master, you can also take a nap." Nangong Ruyu slipped off Wuxin and ran into the house to find Xiaohua.
Wu Xin was stunned, looked at Li Ye and asked: "Little Master Uncle, Yu'er calls you Master?"
"Yes, is there anything wrong with your father asking her to become my master in your home?" Li Ye looked at him and smiled.
The little monk Wuyou touched the back of his head and laughed while looking at the two of them.
When Li Ye got angry, he lightly knocked on his head and said with a smile: "We are on separate terms, and Yu'er is not a monk, so there is no need to abide by the rules in the temple."
Wuyou said "Oh!", looked at Wuxin and said, "Senior brother, you are so awesome. Not only did you make your junior uncle come all the way back, but you also accepted your daughter as an apprentice. I don't know how many people will envy you."
When Wu Xin heard this, he couldn't find the words to respond, so he had to smile bitterly at Li Ye and said, "This will cause trouble for my junior uncle."
Li Ye shook his head and replied: "With Xiaohua taking care of her, it's not a trouble."
Li Ye thought that having Xiao Hua accompany Nangong Yu'er would allow him to rest assured that she would stay in the small bluestone courtyard where his husband once lived when he went to practice in the back mountain of Xuantian Temple.
Li Ye simply chatted with the two about the current situation in the temple, and saw that the time was approaching.
"Everything is ready in the kitchen. If my uncle is hungry, he can cook rice and stir-fry at any time." Wuyou said looking at Li Ye.
Li Ye nodded, looked at him and asked, "I'm going to cook some mushroom porridge. Can we eat it together tonight?"
Wuxin looked at him and shook his head, replying: "I have to go back to the Buddhist hall, and I will have evening classes with the master later." After saying that, he glanced at Wuyou, who knew what he meant, and wanted Li Ye to take a rest. Then he smiled and said, "Uncle, please rest today. We'll come back tomorrow."
Li Ye lowered his head and thought for a while, then replied: "That's fine, you can go on your own. I'll also go and pack up and cook some porridge for Yu'er and the others."
You don't have to eat, but Mu Mu Nangong Yu'er and the others can't go hungry.
Li Ye seemed to have found the feeling of living on Tianshan Mountain again.
Besides practicing, I just cook.
As the old monk from the Great Buddha Temple said, chopping firewood and cooking rice is not practice.
After returning to the house, he changed into a coarse cloth monk's robe. Li touched his black hair and thought that he would have to ask his senior brother to cut it for him tomorrow.
When you return to the temple, you can't be too different.
...
Minghui knew that she didn't have to worry about unintentional things since Li Ye went up the mountain. Seeing that Li Ye didn't come to find her, she didn't worry.
It wasn't until after lunch the next day that I returned to the Buddhist hall and found that Li Ye had been sitting quietly in front of the Buddha making tea.
Minghui couldn't help but smile when she looked at the young man who had grown up in front of her.
"I'm still thinking about going to Xiao Ayuan later to see that guy Wuxin's little daughter." Minghui sat down at the table and said with a smile.
"Senior brother, good luck!" Li Ye stood up and bent down to greet him, his eyes bright and friendly.
"You're not so polite. You're very fast. Not even a month after I sent the letter, you returned to the mountain." Minghui pointed to the teacup on the table, and Li Ye poured him some tea with a smile.
Li Ye picked up the tea cup, looked at him and replied calmly: "The original plan was to leave after the summer. Now that I have received the letter from senior brother, it is okay to come back earlier."
Ming Hui looked at Li Ye with a complicated expression. He didn't know what he should do when Wu Xin returned to the temple. After all, he had no experience in the world and didn't know how to deal with Wu Xin.
Seeing that this little junior brother who came from the secular world is also the national master of the five regions, it is estimated that no matter how troublesome the problem is, he can find a solution in his hands.
Looking at Li Ye's face, he smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Li Ye smiled and said: "Senior brother passed by southern Xinjiang and didn't enter. Are you unwilling to see me or are you afraid that I will capture you and fight?"
Minghui was stunned, looked at the expression on his face, and explained with a smile: "You are practicing there well, why should I disturb you? Southern Xinjiang is not my Buddhist temple, so where should I go?"
When it comes to being tactful, the honest Li Ye is no match for him.
Li Ye laughed, shook his head and said: "What is the difference between the Buddhist hall of the Great Buddha Temple and the Buddhist hall of Prajna Temple? Does it require senior brother to travel thousands of miles to get there?"
Minghui was stunned, pondered for a moment, looked at him and said with a smile: "Buddhist halls in the world are not the same. What is different are the people who practice in the Buddhist halls."
Li Ye was startled after hearing this, then lowered his head and began to think.
Seeing his dazed look, Minghui smiled, walked to the Buddhist altar, took a stick of incense and lit it, then returned to the table and sat down, looking at Li Ye quietly in front of her.
I don’t know how long it took, but Li Ye, who had returned to God, looked up at Ming Hui and said with a smile: "I have never thought about this problem. There are so many Buddhist temples in the world, and there are so many people who practice Buddhism in the world, but what is the true meaning of Buddhism?"
How many people can be honest?"
Ming Hui looked at him, nodded, and asked, "Junior brother, how do you think Wu Xin should be handled properly?"
When Li Ye heard Minghui mention Wu Xin, he couldn't help frowning and gently replied: "Wu Xin's thing is very special. It has never happened to us. We can't rush this matter. I will find a solution."
"If he doesn't have a daughter at home, he will just come back when he comes back. But after all, he has returned to the secular world and has earthly connections and responsibilities. I don't want him to bear grudges against me and his master in the future."
Minghui sighed softly as she thought of the first time she met Nangong Ruyu in the Nangong family.
"It was because of this that I brought his daughter to the temple. I hope that the love between father and daughter can bring back his strength for life."
Li Ye thought to himself, "I don't believe it. Your daughter is by your side every day, and you can still focus on Buddhism."
"I heard from Wuyou that you accepted Nangong Yu'er as your disciple. This is a good deed!" Minghui chanted the Buddha's name twice and looked at Li Ye kindly.
"Maybe she is destined to me. The first time I saw her, I fell in love with this little guy."
Li Ye did not say what he was thinking. In his eyes, Nangong Yu'er had the shadow of Song Yu'er in the world, and the shadow of Mu Mu on Tianshan Mountain. The two shadows overlapped, and he could not resist.
Minghui smiled and said: "You and Wu Xin have good causes and good results. The Buddha said that cause and effect never fails, and it seems to be true. You have left the Buddha's capital thousands of miles away, and you can actually meet Nangong Ruyu again after you come back.
..."
Li Ye looked at him and laughed, quickly stopped his chattering, and replied: "I just like this little guy, Wu Xin's father also sent his family to take care of her, senior brother, don't talk too much about me.
.”
Minghui ignored him and just smiled.
"The Buddha said that giving without abiding means is so great that it is inconceivable, and the merits are inconceivable. But in worldly terms, it means giving without intending to repay, and the merits are as great as those of the Buddha.
..."
...
The two chatted for a long time. As they approached Shenshi, Li Ye smiled and said, "I have to go back to cook. There are four or five mouths waiting for me to go back."
"Go ahead, as a monk and at home, you practice cultivation... Do you still want to continue sweeping the floor when junior brother comes back?" Minghui thought for a while, looked at him and asked.
When Li Ye heard this, he laughed, looked at him and said, "My heart is already covered with thick dust. What can I do if I don't sweep it away?"
Upon hearing this, Minghui burst out laughing and said, "You have only been away from the temple for more than a year, and you are already covered in thick dust. What about those people who have been wallowing in the world of mortals their entire lives..."
"I am me, and I don't compare myself with others!" Li Ye shook his head and walked out.
When he walked out of the Buddhist hall, he seemed to have thought about something, and turned back to Minghui and said: "As usual, half moon at Prajna Temple and half moon at Xuantian Temple."
"Where else are you going?" Minghui smiled.
"It should be said that I haven't been anywhere yet!" What Li Ye thought of was Qingxu.
Waving his hand, Minghui smiled and said, "Then it will be as junior brother said."
