Chapter 1 Ten Parties

Heaven and earth have been around for thousands of years, and people have begun to have traced. Since ancient times, all kinds of strange things in the world have been attributed to gods and ghosts. In the vast world, there is a deep blessing, or smart and wise people have obtained the truth and secret method and pursued the way of eternal life. But more people are drunk and dreaming of death. After a hundred years of talk, bitterness and sorrow and joy turn into dust.

Huayu City is crowded and bustling every day. There are many shops, and there is an endless stream of small vendors, art sellers and tourists. The carriages passing and playing are also one after another.

In the peaceful and prosperous times, everyone's face was full of joy, but only a small monk came and went with a purple sand bowl with a sad face, and saluted everyone. The little monk was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the monk's clothes were already worn out, but he was handsome. Some kind-hearted people gave a few cents, and some were unlucky and hurriedly drove them away.

In the shops on this street, there were many people who recognized the little monk. A teahouse owner laughed and scolded, "Is the little bald donkey coming to beg for food again?" Why didn't the old bald donkey come out today?

The little monk answered honestly, "The master will go to the west to see the Buddha in the west, so the little monk wants to get some delicious food for the master to send him on the road."

The owner of the teahouse was drinking a sip of oolong tea. Before he swallowed it, he spit it out and smiled, "Is the old monk going to hang up? Well, let's give him some money and let your master don't forget to say good words to us in the west.

The little monk took the five penny and thanked him, "The little monk must mention your benefits to the master."

After walking forward, I saw a gorgeous wooden building in front of me, with the name written on the plaque: Yichunyuan.

When the lady standing at the door and dressed in a gorgeous dress saw the little monk, she waved the silk handkerchief and said with a greasy smile, "Shifang, come on, I'll give it back to you for free today. Miss Dongxiang misses you so much."

Shifang bowed his head and hurried by, and couldn't help saying, "Sin."

The people next to me laughed when they saw it.

Shifang enjoyed the prosperous scene of the city and walked for another half a day. Seeing that the money and dry food were enough for the master to eat, he bypassed the main street and walked from the remote path to the west of the city.

Turning around the streets and alleys, out of the city gate, and all the way to a small mountain with green grass and flowers, this mountain is called Wancui Mountain, which is a branch of Huayun Mountain, the largest mountain in the State of Song. Whether it is winter or summer, the mountain is green, and there are colorful flowers, which is very beautiful.

At the foot of Wancui Mountain, there is a jade Buddha temple. There are only two monks in the temple, one is ten squares and the other is a master of ten squares.

When the sunset appeared in the western sky, Shifang finally returned to the Jade Buddha Temple, opened the dilapidated temple door and entered. After bypassing the small Daxiong Treasure Hall, he came to the Zen room of the master Tiancong Zen master, but the master's body was troubled in his heart. Pushing the door and entering, Zen Master Tiancong was tilting his body and leaning against the east wall to close his eyes to refresh himself. When he saw Shifang came back, he opened his old eyes and said happily, "Would you like something delicious?"

Seeing that the master was in good spirits, Shifang said happily, "The disciple asked for two cabbages and five radishes. After a while, the disciple went to stir-fry and cook, and the master rested here first."

Zen master Tiancong listened, the white beard kept shaking, and the old face full of wrinkles was also tense. He sat up and scolded, "Take a break. Master, I'm about to go to the west to see the Buddha. Can't you ask for some tofu, vermicelli or something for the master to eat?"

Shifang was first frightened, and then cried, "When will the master go to the west?"

Zen Master Tiancong's eyes turned green and said angrily, "You son of a bitch, expect me to kick my legs quickly, don't you?" Seeing Shifang crying again, he couldn't bear it. He sighed, gasped and sat up and said, "Shifang, come on, sit here, the master will tell you something."

Shifang wiped his tears and sat next to Zen Master Tiancong. Seeing that the 80-year-old master was already as thin as firewood, his skin was dry, and he lost his former glory. The more he thought about it, the more sad he was.

Zen Master Tiancong calmed down and sighed, "Shifang, do you still remember what happened when you were a child?"

Shifang said, "I remember that at that time, the master picked me up from the river and accepted him as a disciple. He fed his disciples with a handful of shit and urine, and taught me to read and fight and martial arts."

Zen Master Tiancong nodded and smiled. Looking back on the past, he couldn't help but be a little distracted. He said for a long time and said, "Ok, I didn't raise you for nothing as a teacher. Originally, the master still had some days to live, but you fucking cursed me to go to the west to see the Buddha in the west every day. I don't think I can live today." With that, Tiancong took a breath and continued, "I know you are worried about being a teacher and don't want the master to go like this, but people can't escape this day. Shifang, the master will give you something. In the future, you will be the host of the Jade Buddha Temple. One day, you will also accept a disciple. Don't let our incense be broken in your generation.

After saying that, he untied a pendant from his neck. It was a palm-sized, crystal clear jade pendant. Zen Master Tiancong looked at the jade pendant and reluctantly handed it to Shifang and said, "This jade pendant was given to me by my master, and then my master gave it to me again. Today, I will pass it to you and listen to your master, this jade Falling is a mysterious treasure, but we haven't figured out what it is for three generations, but it should be very valuable.

Shifang took over the jade pendant tremblingly. Tiancong said a lot today. He breathed for a moment and said, "There is still some silver left for you. You can save some money. Take the box out from the bottom of the bed."

Shifang took out a large wooden box from the bottom of the bed with a copper lock on it. Tiancong took out the key from his arms and gave it to Shifang and said, "Open it."

When the wooden box was opened, Shifang was shocked. They saw that the wooden box was full of silver and said, "Master, why do you let me change fate every day with so much money?"

Tiancong scolded, "You are stupid. Who would think you have less money? Alas, you are too honest. The master's money is actually left for you. When I'm not here, you can live. Shifang, you don't practice Buddhism like this. Although the four Buddhists are empty, you should be more flexible in your heart. Don't always read it all the time. Scripture, alas, you should really walk around and see the world outside. If you haven't experienced sex, how can you understand the emptiness?

Shifang nodded and said, "The master is thoughtful. The disciple is indeed a little stupid. Master, those women came to flirt with me again today."

Zen Master Tiancong sighed and said, "Your boy's life is too deep. He provokes women everywhere. Why doesn't you have the life as a teacher? You are too honest. Will you suffer losses on women without me in the future? After saying this, I was out of breath.

Shifang smiled and said, "Master, don't worry. Disciples will take good care of themselves."

Tian Cong couldn't help his anger when he heard the words. He jumped up from **, picked up the soles of his shoes and was about to hit Shifang. Seeing this, Shifang hurriedly retreated and covered his head, but he didn't see the master come over. He secretly took a look. Tiancong's eyes widened and held his shoes in his hand, but he stayed there. Then, he fell into ** with a bang, really driving. Hexi went.

Shifang lay on the body of Zen Master Tiancong and cried loudly, crying in the dark. This night, Shifang spent the whole world in a messy dream and crying.

At dawn on the second day, Shifang went to hello to the master as usual, and then remembered that Tiancong was dead and sad again.

There is a rule in the Buddha's family that if a Buddhist disciple dies, he will put the person in the cremation tank for 21 days, and then carry out the cremation ceremony when the deceased's consciousness is gone.

Shifang prepared everything and waited for the cremation after 21 days. Eighteen days have passed in a blink of an eye. These days, Shifang has lived up and down. Every day, I have been sad to accompany my master since I was a child. Now I am alone, and I am not in the mood to go out to change fate. When I am short of food, I took a box of Chinese silver and two to Huayu City. In the middle of the purchase, there are incense guests who come from the mountain to worship Buddha, and Shifang is also lazy hospitality.

On this evening, Shifang ate by himself and was sitting in the Zen room meditating and chanting scriptures. Suddenly, he heard a squeak. Shifang said strangely, "It seems that the temple door has been pushed open. Is there also a gift to the Buddha this night?" He walked out of the Zen room and walked to the temple gate.

Before I arrived at the temple gate, I heard a sweet voice whispering, "Hey, is there anyone in this temple?"

I saw a young girl standing at the gate of the temple, with her hair casually braided, slender and very beautiful. Seeing the ten directions, she smiled sweetly and said, "Master, can you stay here?"

Shifang put his hands together and said, "Of course, is the donor lost? Please come with the monk."

The girl jumped to Shifang and said with a smile, "I heard that the monk temple generally does not accept female guests."

Shifang smiled and said, "We are different from other temples. The master often teaches me that all beings are equal, not only emperors and beggars, but also men and women. If people are in trouble and need accommodation, then let's take helping others as the first point, and the difference between men and women is not so important."

The girl nodded and said, "Your master is really a Taoist monk."

Saying that the two followed the cobblestone path to the back Zen room. There are three Zen rooms behind, one in Tiancong, one in all directions, and one empty. There are several green bamboos planted outside the three Zen rooms. The courtyard is clean and dust-free, but it also has a charm.

The girl pointed to the largest Zen room and said, "This is the Zen room of the master, right? I don't know if he has slept or not.

Shifang thought of the master and said in his heart, "Master, his old man has passed away. Now his Dharma body is placed in the Zen room, waiting for the day after tomorrow to be cremated."

The girl secretly exclaimed bad luck and hurried through the Zen room. Shifang took her to the empty Zen room and opened the door and said, "Let's rest here. There are candles and bedding in it. Has the donor ever eaten?"

The girl touched her stomach and said, "No, I've been busy on my way. I'm still hungry. Do you have anything to eat?"

Shifang smiled and said, "The little monk still has some leftover food. Please follow me."

When the two came to the kitchen, Shifang took out the leftover food and took out fresh bowls and chopsticks. The girl was screaming hungry, but she did not dare to eat randomly. When Shifang turned around, she took out a silver needle from her pocket and pricked it in the meal. Seeing that the food was not poisonous, she did not think about the leftovers, she filled a bowl of rice and ate it. Shifang looked at her eating and wolfed it up. He didn't realize that he was also hungry. He also served some rice and ate it.

The girl said while eating, "Little monk, you are a very good person. When your sister has money, I will also treat you to a good meal."

Shifang was already full at this time. He smiled and did not answer. He sat there and watched her eat. For a moment, the girl was full. Shifang said, "Go and rest, the little monk."

The girl clapped her hands and said, "My sister is not a lazy person." Pick up the dishes and chopsticks and wash them.
