After half a year of studying abroad, the fire-burning monk felt that his craftsmanship was not only high in the country, but at least it was ranked among the top ten in the temples within Tianping City.
But when he saw Fang Xiaoyue's sword skills today, he knew that he was too far away from him.
His own knife skills could not cut potatoes into thin needles or cut tofu into pieces like thin paper.
As for cooking in a pot, let alone cooking.
The skill of being able to trap the aroma in the dish after it comes out of the pot and not burst out until the spoon touches it is simply beyond his imagination.
That lunch made all the monks in Shishan Temple smile and praise it endlessly.
However, Fang Xiaoyue only had one chance to help cook.
After that, he was persuaded by the host not to go to the kitchen again.
Well, this is not that the host said that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, but that it is not good and can easily deviate from the true nature of cultivation.
Fang Xiaoyue sincerely accepted the host's explanation.
Thinking about it, if being a monk makes you feel comfortable eating every day, it seems a bit excessive.
After a week, the host finally agreed to ordain Fang Xiaoyue.
The news didn't spread far because the reporters outside the temple couldn't stand it anymore and left long ago.
After all, for them, this hotspot seems to be disappearing. Besides, even if they didn't take any photos, the photos from the previous departure are enough.
However, after receiving the news, Master Lei, Lei Daxun's family, and even Professor Wang and others rushed to Shishan Temple. Fang Xiaoyue's secular relatives came to watch the ceremony.
In fact, the ordination ceremony at Shishan Temple was not as grand and grand as they imagined.
It was the monks of Shishan Temple. All the outsiders gathered in the small square outside the main hall, set up an altar, and lit incense for the Buddha. Fang Xiaoyue sat on the stone floor, and the host came over with a razor. When the monks saw this, they immediately
Recite scriptures in your mouth.
For a time, this simple tonsure ceremony became inexplicably solemn and solemn in everyone's hearts.
Swish, swish, swish, ten strokes later, all the hair on Fang Xiaoyue's head was shaved off.
These ten strokes have a meaning.
Because Fang Xiaoyue's ordination this time was a novice monk's ordination.
There are ten precepts for novices, which are: (1) not to kill, (2) not to steal, (3) not to commit adultery, (4) not to lie, (5) not to drink alcohol, (6) not to wear incense garlands, (7)
No singing and dancing, (8) no sitting on a high and wide bed, (9) no eating out of season, (10) no hoarding of gold and silver treasures.
After receiving this precept, Fang Xiaoyue becomes a novice monk.
Well, to be precise, the little novices at Shishan Temple who are not yet 7 years old are not monks. They are not even as good as Fang Xiaoyue.
They need to wait until they are 7 years old to take the ordination according to their own wishes. At that time, they will be the real novice monks.
Now, it can only be said that he is a child entrusted to Shishan Temple.
The host lit three incense sticks and dropped them towards Fang Xiaoyue's head.
After a slight sting, three ring scars appeared on his shaved head.
It should be said that in this plane, it is no longer allowed to forcibly brand the ordination scars when taking the ordination, because it is harmful to the health of the body.
But Fang Xiaoyue insisted on asking for this, and the host did not refuse, so he did it.
After getting three more ordination scars on her head, Fang Xiaoyue felt that she was truly ordained.
But when the ordination ceremony was over, the host told him that this kind of novice monk would not be considered a real monk after taking the ordination.
Only those who receive the bhikkhu ordination after the age of 20 can be considered a true monk, and only at that time will the ordination be granted.
Fang Xiaoyue was a little dumbfounded by what the host said.
Although during this period, he had read a lot of Buddhist books with a learning attitude, he had not really read any books on this subject, so he did not know about it until this time.
Of course, even so, it's not a big problem.
After all, he is now 19 years old and will be ordained in another year.
In fact, just taking the ordination this time made him feel that he had benefited a lot.
However, the host still gave Fang Xiaoyue a legal name.
Set your mind!
In Fang Xiaoyue's original world, Buddhist disciples should also take a Dharma name.
The Dharma name is the name given by the master or an elder in Buddhism, and is chosen according to seniority.
The Dharma name is given by outsiders. It can be chosen by the master or by oneself.
However, it seems to be simpler in this plane, with only the Dharma title and no Dharma name.
After being ordained, Fang Xiaoyue officially joined Shishan Temple.
Lei Daxun originally wanted to take Fang Xiaoyue to a celebration banquet in the city, but he refused.
There is no way, I have become a monk, at least at this time, I have to pay attention to calmness.
How about you, take me to a big dinner?
Master Lei and others left with some regrets, but Professor Wang and others rented a house in a nearby village and lived there.
Shishan Temple does not allow foreigners. That’s okay. Then I can come to Master Xinding to study every day during the day?
You can’t refuse this, right?
Fang Xiaoyue felt that Professor Wang and others were in conflict with her.
In fact, after taking the novice ordination, his time undoubtedly became tight.
The host, who is his master, has to teach him some scriptures, Buddhist knowledge, etc. every day. Morning classes and evening classes are indispensable.
In addition, I have to help carry water in the kitchen, clean, etc.
In addition, Fang Xiaoyue also needs to insist on practicing martial arts, and her clothes must be changed and washed every day.
The addition of Professor Wang and others undoubtedly made his time tighter.
In desperation, Fang Xiaoyue could only discuss it with Professor Wang and others, and agreed to take three classes a week on weekends.
In this way, he felt more relaxed.
However, on the weekend, the students sitting below were not just Professor Wang, but also a group of novice novices, the first senior brother and the host.
The little novice monk really wants to learn martial arts from him. After all, everyone is not a fool. They can all see that Fang Xiaoyue's achievements in martial arts are definitely higher than those of the first senior brother.
The first senior brother said that he needed to learn with humility.
As for the host, he is already this old. Although he used to practice martial arts constantly, he is not in good health now. He came here to sit down and just watch the excitement. After all, Shishan Temple does not have a TV, a computer, and no Internet.
When the host had nothing to do before, he liked to drink tea and play chess by himself. Now that he saw that Fang Xiaoyue had opened a free martial arts class, he came to see the situation and regarded it as a kind of leisure and entertainment.
Teaching one person is teaching, and teaching a group of people is also teaching.
Fang Xiaoyue simply asked Professor Wang to take the luck chart and make some copies, and everyone was given a copy.
If you want to learn martial arts from yourself, you have to cultivate your inner strength first, right?
It should be said that the First Senior Brother did not believe in the inner strength at first.
After all, he had been practicing martial arts at Shishan Temple since he was a child. After he became an adult, he also went to other temples to register.
