Xiao Feng stood guard outside the Main Hall, holding his breath and concentrating.
Soon after the chanting stopped in the temple, the monks inside filed out. Xiao Feng's eyes widened, searching for his father.
However, until the last monk came out, he still did not see Xiao Yuanshan, and Murong Bo did not appear either.
Xiao Feng felt anxious and couldn't help but step forward and pick up the door frame and poke his head inward.
There were still people inside, but there were no Xiao or Murong, only a few novice monks sweeping around.
He saw the little novice, and the little novice also saw him.
A young novice monk came over with a big broom and shouted: "Donor, don't be indecisive in front of the Buddha."
Am I being obscene? Xiao Feng was stunned and asked: "Little Master, is there no one inside?"
The young monk lowered his face and said displeasedly: "Young monk is not a human being? What do you do?"
Xiao Feng apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Young master, I mean, where are the two people who were ordained just now?"
"Left through the back door. Who are you?" the young novice asked warily.
Xiao Feng was stunned again and asked: "Little master, you don't know me?"
"Why does the young monk want to know you?" the young novice asked curiously.
Xiao Feng pointed to the square behind him and said, "Don't you know what happened there this morning?"
The young novice said: "I am reciting sutras in the wing, so I don't know."
"What are you chanting? You are obviously asleep..."
"That's right, monks don't tell lies, be careful not to go to tongue-pulling hell after death!"
The other novice novices inside were cheering.
The little novice monk's face turned red, and he turned around and shouted: "Nonsense, I, Xu Gu, have always been honest and reliable. You are just jealous that I do my homework better than you."
"I'm not ashamed. I can't even memorize the entire Diamond Sutra, yet I dare to say that my homework is good."
"Have you forgotten who got twenty palms slapped last time?"
The little novice monk snorted, turned his head and said solemnly: "Donor, don't listen to their chatter. They are jealous, they are poisoned by anger. Oh, how pitiful God, everyone is drunk and I am alone, the road is so ruthless
!”
Xiao Feng was stunned after hearing this, and the image of his second brother Murong Fu suddenly appeared in his mind. Isn't this little novice monk just a miniature version of him?
The young novice monk probably didn't want to talk about the embarrassing things of the past anymore, so he spoke quickly: "Do you want to ask to see the two new senior brothers?"
"Senior brother?" Xiao Feng looked at the eleven or twelve-year-old bald boy and paused before replying: "Yes, yes, I wonder if young master knows where they went?"
Xu Gu rolled his eyes and said, "Wait, I'll call you."
"Poof!"
"Ha ha……"
"Xiao Na, Xu Gu, you are really ignorant and incompetent."
Xiao Feng also burst into laughter.
After a stick of incense, "Xiao Na" Xu Gu came back picking his teeth and lazily said to Xiao Feng: "Are you the donor Xiao?"
Seeing Xiao Feng nod, he then said: "Your Majesty asked me to tell the benefactor that he is done with the mortal world, and from now on he will devote himself to studying Buddhism and practicing Zen. I hope the benefactor will not think of it. Since the benefactor Xiao has retired from officialdom, there is no need to go back. Well, although he will not be involved in state affairs,
In the rivers and lakes, there must always be thousands of living beings from the two countries. If the two countries have another dispute, it is not a pity to stand up and do compassionate things."
Xiao Feng said solemnly: "Yes!"
At this moment, he felt sad in his heart, thinking that his father was old and did not want to see me today, and he was afraid that we would never see him again in the future. But father and son had only known each other for a day, and they had not yet enjoyed the happiness of family affection.
At once……
I don't know how long it took, but a clear child's voice woke him up from his nostalgia, "Donor Xiao, Donor Xiao!"
Xiao Feng came back to his senses, looked down at this articulate little monk, the sadness in his heart was inexplicably diluted, and asked: "Little Master Xu Gu, is there anything else?"
Xu Gu's face was dark, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Donor Xiao, why are you so absent-minded? I haven't finished what I said yet."
Xiao Feng was overjoyed and said, "It's my father. What else do you have to say?"
Xu Gu blinked his big eyes, a sly look flashed across his face, and said: "This senior brother has nothing to say. But another senior brother has something to say, will you listen?"
Xiao Feng guessed that he was talking about Murong Bo, so he nodded and said: "Please tell me, young master."
"Ahem!" Xu Gu cleared his throat, lowered his face gloomily, and imitated Murong Bo's voice: "Tell my son: No matter whether he returns to the country or not, I, a monk who has nothing to do with everything, can't control him. But, the Murong family
The bloodline cannot be broken, and the daughter of the Wang family is a good match."
"Haha." Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh, stretched out his hand to rub Xu Gu's shiny bald head, and said, "Young master has learned so well."
"Don't move if it's inappropriate. Donor Xiao, please let go." Xu Gu shook his head and struggled hard.
Xiao Feng smiled and let go of his hand, and said: "Little master, do you want to return to secular life? My second brother must like you very much. Can I let him accept you as his disciple?"
Xu Gu was stunned for a moment, then became angry and shouted: "Hey, donor Xiao, please leave. Xiao Na's heart is pious and sincere, and he only has a heart towards the Buddha. No external demon can shake him!"
…
As the sun sets, Xiaolin's wonderful day is about to come to an end.
Xiao Feng waited for Li Jiang and his party outside the mountain gate.
Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry came first to pay their respects, and then the three brothers met.
Xiao Feng saw a coffin being carried in Lingjiu Palace and asked why.
Xu Zhu remembered that his parents met each other in one day, but both of them died. He was so sad that he couldn't help but shed tears, choked with sobs and could not speak.
Li Jiang explained on his behalf: "Eldest brother, the third brother's father, Xiao Lin, wanted to stay and be buried in Tallin, so he only handed over Ye Erniang's body."
Xiao Feng pondered: "It seems that Xiao Lin still has some humanity and still regards Abbot Xuanci as one of his own."
Li Jiang curled his lips, thinking that Xiao Lin might have more on his mind. However, death is a big deal, so there were some things that were not suitable to be said, so he gave up his thoughts on telling Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng understood the reason and turned to comfort Xu Zhu: "Third brother, eight out of ten things in this world are not what you want. When I was expelled from the Beggar Clan, there were heroes all over the world. Everyone wanted to kill me and then do it quickly. At that time, I also felt the same in my heart.
It’s very sad, but as long as some time passes, things will get better.”
Xu Zhu put away his tears and suddenly said: "Yes. The Tathagata preached at Lingjiu Mountain in Wangshe City. The word "Lingjiu" was originally related to Buddhism. One day, I will change Lingjiu Palace into Lingjiu Temple and teach those who
Mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and girls all become nuns."
Everyone present looked up to the sky and laughed at the same time. The Eighteen Khitan Horsemen didn't understand why everyone was laughing, but when they saw their master laughing, they started laughing too.
Xiao Feng laughed and said: "The monks in the temple are all nuns. That's really a strange thing in the world."
"Haha..." Another burst of laughter rang out.
There was a childish voice mixed in the laughter, and Li Jiang asked curiously: "Brother, is this little monk here to see you off?"
Xiao Feng looked back at the young monk and said to Li Jiang: "No, this is Xu Gu, your disciple."
Li Jiang was confused for a moment and asked: "My apprentice? Why didn't I know?"
Xiao Feng smiled and said: "I collected it for you just now and cheated it out of a meal of meat."
"You got it by cheating? Brother, you also know that I am very busy, why don't you let the third brother..." Li Jiang declined.
"Master!" Xu Gu howled and flew over, reaching out to hug Li Jiang's thigh.
Li Jiang retreated slightly, and Xu Gu was thrown into the air. However, he reacted very quickly, without any embarrassment at all. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed with a "bang bang bang" and said: "Master, please be polite."
."
"Okay, you have a shameless spirit, I'll think about it." Li Jiang said while stroking his beard and narrowing his eyes.
