Yu Bai's Extra Story - No Stain, No Desire, No Desire, No Base
After the sweeper entered, Yu Shaoting stood at the door for a while and led Yu Jingxi to the Main Hall.
The little guy's eyelids were drooped. He was too frightened at night and didn't sleep well. He yawned, but he still followed Yu Shaoting closely.
Just as Yu Shaoting donated money for sesame oil to the merit box, a middle-aged monk wearing cassocks came in at the door of the main hall and clasped his hands to him: "Amitabha."
Normally, Yu Shaoting might have felt cold in his heart, secretly thinking that these monks were pretending, but now, he pursed his thin lips, nodded, at least there was no disrespect on his face, called Yu Jingxi over, and said to the host: "I was here before
When I visited your temple, an old monk told me a Buddhist verse, and I came here specifically to seek advice from the master."
The host had never met Yu Shaoting, but he recognized Yu Jingxi. Mrs. Yu was an old pilgrim in the temple, and she probably guessed Yu Shaoting's identity.
When he came in just now, he took a rough look at Yu Shaoting's face. Although he was rich and noble, unfortunately, there was a hint of violence in his eyebrows. Such a person, even if he is in a high position, will not be complete in this life, and may affect the people around him.
.
Knowing that Yu Shaoting wanted to see the master, the host smiled and said, "Master is practicing boxing in the back. I will ask the young monk to lead you over."
…
When the old monk saw the father and son of the Yu family who had come with him, he was not surprised at all. He smiled kindly and said, "It's a few days later than I expected."
Yu Shaoting never believed in this stuff, but now that he is here, he will not say anything disrespectful to the Bodhisattva.
Following the old monk into the house, Yu Shaoting sat opposite the old monk. As for Yu Jingxi, he came in a hurry and hadn't eaten breakfast yet. He couldn't take his eyes away when he saw a few vegetable buns on the table in the monk's room. The old monk laughed: "Old monk, you're not hungry."
, Xiao Shi’s main thing is that he doesn’t dislike it and just makes do with it.”
Yu Jingxi looked at Yu Shaoting who was sitting there. Seeing that Yu Shaoting didn't stop him, he walked to the table, took a vegetable bag and said to the old monk, "I'll just eat one."
The old monk nodded and smiled even more, as if he was amused by the child's words and deeds.
Yu Shaoting asked Yu Jingxi, who had taken the buns, to wait at the door, and told him not to run around. The little guy didn't make a fuss, and he didn't forget to close the door when he went out.
"I know what you want to ask." The old monk struck preemptively, causing Yu Shaoting to raise his deep eyes and look at him.
"No stains, no attachments, no thoughts, no support. The nature of the body is immeasurable, and those who see it are praised and admired."
The old monk's eyes were like those of an ancient well, and he looked calmly at the imposing young man opposite: "I see from your face that your good fortune will inevitably weaken the luck of the people around you, but since you can come this far,
This step is beyond the old monk’s expectation.”
"Donor, if you don't mind the old monk's verbosity, then the old monk will give you one more sentence: Accumulate good causes and produce good results, and you will not go wrong in the end."
Yu Shaoting remained expressionless, but because of the old monk's last words, he suddenly laughed.
He turned his head and glanced at the plate of steamed buns on the table and the furniture in the monk's room. They were not as shabby as they were on TV. There was even a vertical air conditioner behind the old monk. Yu Shaoting's eyes finally fell on
On the old monk: "I think that the practice now still adheres to the saying 'the mind will naturally cool down when it is calm'."
Hearing the joking in Yu Shaoting's tone, the old monk was not unhappy and habitually stroked his beard: "As long as you have Buddha in your heart, why bother paying too much attention to these external things."
"In the past, a monk persuaded me to become a monk. What did you think?"
Yu Shaoting picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, but after thinking about it, he still placed the teacup in front of the old monk.
The old monk lowered his head and looked at the full cup of tea. After hearing what Yu Shaoting said, after a while, he slowly said: "In the past, you had some wisdom, but now, the most suitable person to stay in this temple is not
is you."
…
Yu Shaoting came out of the Zen room and saw Yu Jingxi standing under a peach tree in the yard with his head raised, holding a thin bamboo pole that he found somewhere in his hand.
There is a 'V' shaped hook on the top of the bamboo pole, which looks like a clothes drying fork made by monks in the temple.
The little guy spotted an unripe peach on the tree and poked it with a bamboo pole. He didn't prick the peach, but a few leaves fell on his head.
Yu Jingxi said 'poo' twice, turned around, saw her father at the door of the meditation room, immediately threw away the bamboo pole and ran over: "Dad, are you ready to go home?"
Yu Shaoting touched his son's head and took the fallen leaves from his hair.
The old monk stood behind Yu Shaoting, stroking his beard and watching this scene with a profound smile. When the father and son left, he said: "We are waiting for good news from the donor."

Bai Xiao was too frightened last night and couldn't sleep. When she woke up, it was almost noon.
She stretched out her hand and touched the side, only to touch the cool mat.
Bai Xiao's eyelids were a little heavy, maybe because Yu Shaoting had told Aunt Li not to wake her up, and even Jing Xi didn't come in to disturb her.
After lying down for a while, she got up and went to the small bedroom first. She didn't see the little devil holding the Transformers model and making trouble.
Going downstairs, Bai Xiao was surprised to see Yu Shaoting sitting in the living room.
"We have a rest today." Yu Shaoting put down the cup in his hand and said, "Mom called and asked us to come over for lunch at noon."
Bai Xiao nodded and looked around, but couldn't find Yu Jingxi again. He began to worry that he would be kidnapped and trafficked like last night.
Yu Shaoting said, "Jing Xi is outside, choosing beans with Aunt Li."
Bai Xiao opened the door of the villa, and sure enough, the little guy was sitting on the bench with a small basket at his feet, choosing beans in an elegant manner, his tender fingers dyed green.
She couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
…
At home in the courtyard, Yu Zhanming was rarely there at noon. The old lady secretly told Bai Xiao that the old man rushed back early in the morning.
Hearing that Xiao Jinsun was almost kidnapped last night, Chief of Staff Yu was so anxious that he took a leave of absence and hurriedly took the earliest flight back to Fengcheng.
As soon as Yu Zhanming saw his youngest son, his face turned dark immediately.
The old chief of staff may have thought that Yu Shaoting had not taken good care of his grandson. At the dinner table, he did not even give Yu Shaoting a look. Instead, he asked Bai Xiao with concern about his recent studies. Bai Xiao glanced at the man next to him and answered truthfully:
"I plan to take the entrance examination for Fengcheng University after the Spring Festival next year."
This answer fits Yu Zhanming's plan exactly.
He nodded in agreement: "When the time comes, the child will be born and cannot live without his mother, so it will be nice to have someone to take care of him in Fengcheng."
As he spoke, he glanced at Yu Shaoting, who was silent.
After the meal, Chief of Staff Yu hugged his sweet grandson and talked amiably for a while, and then, with a straight face, he called Yu Shaoting into the study.
…
Bai Xiao sat with Mrs. Yu in the living room and chatted.
The old lady asked Yu Jingxi to sit on her lap and touched her grandson's fair and tender face. She still felt frightened when she thought of the kidnapping last night.
In the study, I don’t know what the father and son said. There was a sound of slamming the table, which was also vaguely accompanied by Yu Zhanming’s angry rebuke: “Nonsense, when you used to wear crotchless pants and pee on the Buddha statues, why didn’t you bow to those Bodhisattvas?
?”
That night, Yu Zhanming directly left Yu Jingxi behind with a tough attitude. As for Yu Shaoting, he kept out of sight.
————————————
Back in Qinyuan, when the couple lay together to sleep at night, Bai Xiao was curious about why Yu Shaoting and Yu Zhanming broke up on bad terms.
However, before she asked, Yu Shaoting told her a decision: "I am going to send Jing Xi to live in Baoguang Temple for a few months."
Baoguang Temple, Bai Xiao remembers, is the temple on the mountain in the suburbs.
Yu Shaoting never believed in these things, so he was off guard. When he heard what he said, Bai Xiao thought she was hallucinating, but he hugged her and whispered softly: "Nowadays, many temples have very young lay disciples. Jing Xi went there
, and it can also restrain his bad temper."
Bai Xiao didn't want to, especially since Yu Jingxi had been having frequent accidents recently, and she couldn't dare to let him go to the top of the mountain.
"It's not like he sold him. When you give birth to the child in your belly, Jing Xi will come back." Yu Shaoting stroked her belly and continued his work of enlightenment.
"..." Bai Xiao turned her back and stopped talking to him, her eyes were red because of her reluctance.
The next day, early in the morning, a call came from Yu Zhanming, saying that Yu Jingxi had been chopped with a kitchen knife.
Bai Xiao and Yu Shaoting rushed to the courtyard. Yu Jingxi's thumb had been wrapped very tightly in gauze, and the little guy even grinned.
Mrs. Yu clasped her hands together and thought of what the old monk said, chanting "Amitabha" in her mouth. She was also frightened. She told Bai Xiao: "Fortunately Aunt Zhang turned around and saw her, otherwise the knife might have been pointed at the child's foot."
Cut it off!"
Yu Zhanming was no longer as nervous as he was on the phone. When he saw the couple rushing over, he coughed dryly, put his hands behind his back, and went upstairs.
This old hero who had lived for decades and had seen every battle was panicked because Yu Jingxi accidentally cut his finger while helping the old lady cut cucumbers.
When Bai Xiao comforted the frightened child, Yu Shaoting followed Yu Zhanming upstairs. This time, the father and son did not argue.
At noon, after eating in the courtyard, the couple took Yu Jingxi away.
Back in Qinyuan, Yu Shaoting took Bai Xiao into the master bedroom, pondered for a moment, and then said to her: "Dad has agreed to send Jing Xi to Baoguang Temple to stay for a while."
