After almost a stick of incense, Shi Yuan hugged Yuan Ruo and rushed out of the ruins of the side hall. His whole body had been smoked black and he was coughing desperately as soon as he came out.
The elders of the precepts hall and the elders of the Wenjing hall said with tears in their eyes: "There is a successor to Shaolin."
Speaking of which, the fire didn't start for no reason. The two elders originally found a young monk to pretend to be a thief and went to the side hall to steal things. Who knew that this young monk was clumsy and even though he stole the things, he didn't steal anything.
Carefully, he knocked over the green lantern next to the Buddha statue. The lamp oil was poured on a cloth, and the flames instantly jumped up. He quickly took off his shoes to fight, but the wind brought out by waving made the fire even bigger.
.
The fire was much more important than the assessment. The young monk didn't care about stealing anything and ran out barefoot to inform the monks in the temple about the fire. Fortunately, the fire was a false alarm and only burned down the side hall.
Hurt people.
Fortunately, thanks to the fire, people saw Shi Yuan's integrity, courage and kindness.
This is probably the saying that people should not be judged by their appearance.
After discussions with the elders of the Discipline Academy and the Context Hall, and after soliciting the opinions of the disciples in the temple, most people recommended Shi Yuan to be the next abbot. Shi Yuan will become the first literary monk to become the abbot in the history of Shaolin.
Although Bai Qinghan and Ruyi have little say, they also feel that Shi Yuan deserves the title. They believe that even if he is just a literary monk, he can lead Shaolin well.
Ruyi was successful in putting out the fire. Although he acted extremely low-key, the moment he summoned the Snow Girl, he still did not escape the eyes of the elders of the Precepts Hall and the Elders of the Context Hall.
The second elder thanked Ruyi privately and invited her to attend Shi Yuan's abbot's enthronement ceremony.
Ruyi refused, saying that no matter what, she was still a woman, and it was inconvenient for women to stay in the monastery, so it was better to go down the mountain as soon as possible.
The elder and Shi Yuan couldn't resist, so they had no choice but to agree to her.
Before Bai Qinghan and Ruyi left Shaolin, there was still something important to do. Bai Qinghan, who transformed into an abbot, called Shi Yuan into the room and told him everything from beginning to end.
Shi Yuan felt even more sad when he thought of his master's good intentions. He threw himself on Master Yiku's body and began to cry.
Ruyi admired the mouse spirit for its kindheartedness, and once asked it if it would like to follow her.
The mouse spirit thought for a moment, but then shook his head. He said that Shaolin was his home. He was already used to eating fast and chanting Buddha's name. I'm afraid he wouldn't be used to it if he went anywhere else. From now on, he would stay in Shaolin and accompany the new abbot.
For good.
When saying goodbye to Shaolin, Ruyi turned around and stared at the monks again. She looked at the sky and silently recited in her heart: Master Shi Xin, this trip was really not in vain. I don’t know if you are satisfied with the result, but I am satisfied with one thing.
I am sure that Shi Yuan is a good monk and a good abbot. You and Master Yiku can rest assured!
All the way down, the same bluestone path and the same green pine forest give people a completely different feeling.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief. There have been too many hardships and too many things along the way, which once made "going to Shaolin" extremely difficult. Now that it has ended suddenly, it makes people feel a little overwhelmed.
Ruyi's little face was flushed, and her expression was slightly excited.
Bai Qinghan looked at her sideways and said, "What's next? Where to go? Back to Jimo?"
Ruyi raised her head and smiled, but what she said surprised Bai Qinghan: "Don't you want to see Chang Yi? What do you think about us going to Xijiang?"
