Master Hongyi expected that this village girl must be from a wealthy family and had a bad love history. Now she is very devoted and has a profound enlightenment.
When he saw that the village girl spoke sincerely and had been taught by reading, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
The master then said: "Buddhism and Taoism are interlinked. Since the female donor has sincerely taken refuge, how about the poor monk give you a lay name, called Ciyi layman?"
The village girl was overjoyed and immediately knelt down and worshiped, thanking the Master for giving her the title.
The Master received several chrysanthemum seedlings as a gift from the village girl and planted them in front of the courtyard of the nunnery. He took care of them every day in his spare time and served them carefully, hoping that he would come early in the flowering season to enjoy the chrysanthemums.
As spring passed and summer passed, Master Hongyi stayed at Jingfeng Temple for five months and accepted the invitation of Chengtian Temple in Quanzhou to teach the precepts.
When the Master was leaving, it was already late autumn. His disciple Guang Yi brought a woman in green clothes to see him. The Master took a closer look and saw that it was a Hui'an girl he met in front of the entrance of Li Xian Temple in the spring. Because of the chrysanthemum, he had become acquainted with each other and was given the name Ciyi layman by him.
, and now she is dressed like a monk and a Taoist nun.
Ciyi bowed deeply and said: "This disciple wants to go to a distant place to find a way. I heard that Master will be leaving Jingfeng Temple in the next two days. I am afraid that we will not be able to see each other again in the future. So I came here to say goodbye and thank you for giving me the name. In the future
On that day, I will repay you with my devotion to cultivating the Tao!"
It turned out that Ciyi had planned to get married in the autumn of this year, but bad news came a month ago that her fiancé unfortunately fell ill and died.
She originally left her parents and lived alone to reflect. Now that she had no worries, she said goodbye to her relatives and said she wanted to go to Laozi's hometown in Woyang, and then transferred to Bagong Mountain in Huainan. Then she planned to go to the Taoist Temple of Queen Mother Pond in the Snow Mountain.
Official entry.
"No kindness will be rewarded!" Master Hongyi shook his head and said to Ciyi, "Foolish Monk and you became attached to each other because of Ju. How about a few words of farewell? How about Quan Zuo's heartfelt words to your pursuit of the Tao?"
"What Master said should be engraved in your heart!" Ciyi bowed and said.
"Listen now." Seeing Master Hongyi's detached expression, he meditated for a moment, then he caressed the chrysanthemums that have not yet budded and chanted: "I came to plant the flowers, but the flowers have not bloomed yet. Isn't there no beauty left for later?"
People."
Ciyi suddenly had an enlightenment and bowed to Master Hongyi one after another, thanking him repeatedly for his enlightenment. When she was about to come down the mountain, Master Hongyi took a pen from the hermitage and personally wrote "Farewell" to each other.
Give it as a gift to remember you forever.
…
Xiong Jiandong had actually already guessed that the white-haired girl in front of him, who was like a female Taoist priest who was born out of nowhere, must be the real person Ciyi mentioned by Old Aman before dinner last night. He just didn't expect that she had been enlightened by Master Hongyi, and the two of them had a karmic connection.
It is quite profound, and everyone has achieved great success on the path of Buddhism and Taoism.
"Generally speaking, there are only two levels of glitzy life in the world. The first level of material life refers to fine clothing and food, honor and wealth; the second level of ideological life refers to spiritual desires and emotional enjoyment. Master Ran Hongyi said in this way
In addition to worldly glory and love, there is also an extra layer of soul life, which is to take refuge in the Dharma and achieve pure enlightenment."
Taoist Ciyi finally used this brief concluding remarks to express her sincere respect for Master Hongyi.
Xiong Jiandong looked at the "Farewell" inscribed in the nave on the wall again, and sighed again in his heart.
He thought that Master Hongyi came from a wealthy family. He not only participated in the revolution against the feudal monarchy, but also engaged in social education. He was also proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting, and later became a generation of eminent monks. He really had something of his own in the dark.
The many cross-borders of life.
——In terms of Hua Nianping’s past state of mind, he cared about the country, the country, and the people. He respected Sun Yat-sen’s thought of “the world is for the common good.” He respected the sacrificial spirit of the martyrs Lin Juemin, Fang Zhimin, and Yang Jingyu in terms of changing the old world without hesitation.
; As for beliefs and ambitions, what he respects is organizational theoretical career ideals.
As for personal life and academic cultivation, Hua Nianping, despite his originally cowardly nature, had two people who he set as role models for his life. One was Qu Qiubai, the early leader of the organization, who was a shining example of calm life and death for his beliefs.
The other one is Master Hongyi, who despite being suave and wealthy, still sees through the world of mortals——
When he thought of this, Xiong Jiandong was actually in the Fairy Trail Taoist Temple in the Snow Mountain Queen Mother Pond. He felt that the world in his heart suddenly opened up, and he had a feeling that he had crossed a boundary in life, accepted his fate according to fate, and suddenly came to life.
At this time, Miao Xin came to the Yi'an Hall early in the morning to pay homage to the Master and knelt down in front of the Ciyi Seat.
"Miao Xin paid homage to her master!"
"Wu Liang Guan!" Ci Yi was surprised, "Why do you perform such a grand ceremony so early in the morning?"
"Miaoxin welcomed a benefactor yesterday evening. Because the Queen Mother's birthday was coming, there were many pilgrims from all directions, and the guest rooms originally prepared in the Taoist temple were full. Miaoxin had no choice but to attract the guests in the temple without Master's permission.
The dormitory arranges check-in. So it happened!”
Miao Xin reports clearly based on the facts.
"Who is the benefactor?" Ciyi glanced at Xiong Jiandong and did not blame Miaoxin. Instead, she asked with a smile, "Could it be the distinguished guest in front of Kun Dao!"
"Exactly!" Miao Xin then stood up and greeted Xiong Jiandong, "No wonder I can't see Brother Xiong in the room. It turns out that Master invited him to the nunnery early in the morning."
"I snuck in on my own," Xiong Jiandong said. "Fortunately, the Master not only didn't blame me, but also gave me some advice!"
"Brother Xiong doesn't know something. This Yi'an Hall is a forbidden place where Master retreats to cultivate himself and learn Taoism. Even the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple are not allowed to enter at will." Miao Xin said happily, "Master is so gracious and allows you to stay with her.
Sit together."
"Kun Dao saw that Mr. Xiong has a good appearance and extensive knowledge, and he is worthy of being treated as an honored guest." Ciyi said to Miaoxin, "But, I see that his face is haggard and his energy is low. You asked me late last night
I asked for a gold bandage to heal his wounds."
"Master's wise eyes!" Miao Xin couldn't help but be convinced in her heart.
"Thank you Master for the good medicine!" Xiong Jiandong also hurriedly thanked Ciyi.
"However, Kun Dao saw that Mr. Xiong seemed exhausted physically and mentally for many days. This secret gold bandage ointment can only temporarily heal your pain. If you want to restore your vitality as soon as possible, it will take a period of careful nursing." Ciyi said to Xiong Jian
The host said, "There is a thousand-year-old snow lotus stored in the Taoist temple. You might as well let Miaoxin get it and stew it for you to nourish."
When Miao Xin heard this, she immediately beamed with joy and promised Ci Yi that she would leave to get the Millennium Snow Lotus. Xiong Jiandong was even more grateful and thanked Master Ci Yi repeatedly.
But Ciyi told Miaoxin to stop.
"I wonder if Master has anything else to say?" Miao Xin asked.
"You have been away from the Taoist temple for several days, and you said you were going down the mountain to explore the local customs and customs of southern Xinjiang. Kun Dao remembered that he had noticed you, and paid careful attention to the news about your Huichang assistant nephew and his group to see if he
As you said before, there are indeed many unethical things. I wonder how you are exploring?"
Ciyi asked Miaoxin.
Miao Xin glanced at Xiong Jiandong and stopped talking.
"Don't treat Mr. Xiong as an outsider, you just say it's okay!" Ciyi said.
"May I ask Master, how long has it been since you last seen my nephew named Hui Changyuan?" Miao Xin asked.
"It must have been three years!" Ciyi replied.
"That time I met my nephew, was he wearing a hood with gold trim? I heard that this hood was the favorite thing of the second senior sister Miaoyu." Miao Xin said.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Ciyi said sternly, "Since we know that the golden-edged hood is unique to your second senior sister, it was sewn by your master using extremely precious green velvet, and the wonderful jade has been feathered for many years, how can Huichang's assistant disciple Sun
Dare to join in at will."
The word "Eternal Transformation" is a Taoist term for the death of a disciple, and Xiong Jiandong seems to have heard of it.
"Disciples are naturally aware of the green velvet convertible that Master personally sewed for Senior Sister Miaoyu."
Miao Xin said uneasily: "To be honest with Master, my disciples heard at the foot of the mountain that my nephew Hui Changyuan, who had become the head of the Shanngling Shen Sect, had indeed taken possession of the treasure left by Senior Sister Miaoyu after she became an immortal.
For his own sake, it serves as proof that he is a Taoist and confuses the believers."
"There is a difference between what Miao Xin said." Ciyi frowned and said, "Three years ago, Huichang's disciple traveled thousands of miles to come to the Snow Mountain Queen Mother Pond Taoist Temple to pay homage to his teacher. At that time, he was wearing a green monk's robe, with a hairpin in his hair.
He was walking in cloud shoes, which showed that his heart was very solemn. Kun Dao felt very comfortable when he saw his simple attire. As you said, the disciple would have made the treasure clothes with my own hands, and he used them to confuse him.
Believers."
"Let's talk again," Ciyi sighed again.
"Your second senior sister was lucky enough to accept Huichang Yuan as her disciple. Kun Dao saw that he was very talented, and just for the sake of promoting Taoism, he created his own sect called Shanngling Shenzong, with the purpose of saving all living beings and promoting Taoism. Your nephew has such great virtues
He is talented and talented. As a senior sister, I should be happy and excited, but I never thought that I would misunderstand him a lot."
Miao Xin argued: "Master has lived in the Taoist Temple of Queen Mother Pond in the Snow Mountain for a long time. He has been in seclusion for many years to cultivate himself and realize Taoism. He has no information and knows little about the external situation. Everything is unclear. Don't be deceived by Huichang Yuan, which will ruin the reputation of Taoism!"
"It's all nonsense!"
Ciyi couldn't help but get angry when she heard that Miaoxin complained that she was not clear about right and wrong because she was practicing Taoism in seclusion and wanted to protect her disciple.
"Master Ciyi, please calm down."
Xiong Jiandong had no choice but to come out and talk to him.
"Since the Master has noticed that there are a lot of fishy things in the Shanngling Shen Sect before, she finally felt uneasy, so she asked Taoist Master Miaoxin to investigate secretly. I think that the Master should make careful arrangements to distinguish right from wrong!"
Although he only heard about the Shanngling Shenzong last night when Miao Xin asked Lao Aman, there was always danger in thinking that he was actually related to Tuhan, the leader of the violent terrorists.
"Mr. Xiong is absolutely right!"
Ciyi nodded in praise.
"In a few days, it will be the Christmas day of the Queen Mother of the West on March 3rd. My disciple Sun Huichangyuan has made an appointment to go to the mountain to worship. Kun Dao will cross-examine her in detail and make his own conclusion."
Seeing the light outside the window, Xiong Jiandong realized that he had been talking to Sister Ciyi for more than two hours. He thought it was time for her to have breakfast, so he stood up and left.
Ciyi ordered Miaoxin to immediately fetch Qianshan Snow Lotus from the secret room, and ordered her to stew it with her own hands and serve it to Xiong Jiandong.
