Chapter 171 sister
Li Ye and the old monk stopped talking about Xu Shi. The old monk looked at him and said, "Just sleep here, the weather is just right, there is no need for a quilt."
Li Ye thought about it and said, "I originally wanted to copy a volume of scriptures for my master, but later I gave it to Mr. Tang on Phoenix Mountain. It seems that I can only copy it to you later."
After thinking about it, it was getting late. I spent some time talking about the Poxu Monk and then talked to the old monk.
"The future is long, don't worry." After the old monk said that, he got up and walked towards the inner room.
Li Ye, who had been running around for a whole day, tilted his body and fell in front of the Buddha altar, and fell asleep with his head resting on the cushion.
......
In the early morning, Shi Jing woke up the bells in the temple, washed her face and brushed her teeth, and followed the old monk, and the two went to the hall together. Li Ye found a corner to meditate. The sounds of wooden fish and the chanting of scriptures intersected, and the morning class began.
After finishing the homework, the cloud board sounded and they lined up to the dining hall. With Master Vinaya offering to the pure Dharma body, the sutras that were chanting began. After reciting the sutras, you can eat.
Following the old monk on the way back to the Buddhist temple, the old monk whispered softly, Li Ye followed behind, putting his hands together, and chanting the scriptures.
The two returned to the Buddhist temple together. The old monk burned a fragrant branch with the oil lamp, and Li Ye made a fire and boiled water.
The old monk sat down against the Buddha altar, looked at Li Ye and said, "I will tell you an allusion to you when I say yesterday, and you will have a deeper understanding of Buddhism."
Li Ye nodded, stopped the work in his hand, and sat upright in front of Monk Li.
Manjushri Bodhisattva once asked Samantabhadra Bodhisattva in the mountains: How can people in the world deal with slandering me, bullying me, insulting me, laughing at me, despising me, despising me, and lying to me?
"How does the Bodhisattva answer?" Li Ye looked at the old monk and said seriously.
The old monk did not answer him, but continued:
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva said: Just to endure him, let him, let him avoid him, be patient, respect him, ignore him, and ignore him. Please wait for him for a few more years.
Li Ye put his hands together and said, "Great kindness."
Bodhisattva Wente asked very well, while Bodhisattva Samantabhadra answered very well. This way of dealing with the world is neither openly fighting nor secretly, but not fighting or getting angry. He is walking his own way at a glance and believes that he can laugh to the end.
"If you have time to read this allusion in the future, you can read it in the Sutra Pavilion in the temple. I will tell you now. I just hope that when you encounter many unsatisfactory things in the process of practicing the path of suffering, you will think of what Samantabhadra Bodhisattva said, and you will be able to resolve many unsatisfactory things in your heart."
The old monk looked up at the Bodhisattva on the Buddha altar and said softly.
Li Ye kowtowed to the old monk and said, "I know this principle. Isn't the master taught me two years ago: Troubles are Bodhi, where does Bodhi come from without afflictions?"
When the old monk heard this, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Amitabha, this is the truth. I didn't expect that you can still remember the teachings you taught to you two years ago. It's very rare! Very good. I really want to see your practice in ten years."
"Master, don't worry, if you really need to practice for ten years to achieve success, then I will definitely come back to see you after you have achieved success." Li Ye put his hands together and made a wish in front of the Buddha for ten years.
The old monk nodded, turned the Buddhist beads in his hand, and smiled and said, "In the future, no matter whether you practice in a temple or walk in the world, you will never make a wish to others easily. Because once you make a wish, you will have cause and effect."
When Li Ye heard this, he stared at the old monk in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.
The old monk ignored him and continued.
"With cause and effect, you must understand this cause and effect no matter what. There will often be a small cause and effect in the world that will lead to countless cause and effect. In the end, there will be nothing to repay, nothing to bear, and in the end it will entangle you for the rest of your life..."
Li Ye, who was pouring tea for the old monk, was shocked, put down the teapot, held the teacup in both hands and handed it to the old monk.
He murmured: "There are always times when it is inevitable to make a wish."
The old monk took the teacup and looked at Li Ye with a loving look on his face. After a while, he sighed.
"Idiot, the many troubles in the world have made people suffer. If you don't want to make a wish, try not to make a promise, and try not to make a cause and effect if you don't want to make a cause and effect."
"I am worried that good causes and good results, and bad causes and bad results will bloom and bear fruit. In any case, it is not something worthy of praise." The old monk frowned gently.
After three teas, the old monk waved his hand and said, "You will go back today. Remember what I will tell you. Come here in five days to practice. I will make arrangements. Don't bring your luggage when you come."
After saying that, the old monk closed his eyes and began to recite scriptures.
Li Ye put down the teapot, kowtowed to the old monk, and stood up and left.
......
After coming out of the mountain gate, he took out his hat and put it on his head, called a carriage and jumped up, and said to the driver: "Please go into the city and go to Zizhuyuan."
Pull down the curtain and stop making any more noise.
"Mr. I'm sitting firmly, let's go now." The coachman raised his whip and ran towards the city.
Li Ye, who was sitting in the carriage, was happy and a little worried. He thought that he would soon meet his parents who had been separated for two years and his sister who had never met before, and Mu Mu, who had not seen him for a long time, and he could not help but be happy.
I also thought that I had no current state at the moment, and from the outside, my cultivation seemed to be just like a state of gathering energy. I don’t know how to explain it clearly to a bunch of people. I thought that this world’s practice is indeed much more troublesome than on the Tianshan Mountains.
Fortunately, I will come to the Great Buddha Temple in five days to practice, and I think I can avoid many social engagements and troubles.
The carriage ran all the way, but by the time of Si, the carriage had already stopped in front of the gate of Zizhuyuan.
He jumped out of the carriage, paid the driver, walked into the gate with his hands behind his back.
"Who are you looking for, sir? I don't let you in here." Agui, who was carrying a food box from outside, looked at Li Ye's back and shouted.
"This is my home. Do you want me to go in?" Li Ye said with a smile without looking back.
"Young Master, you are back! I miss Agui to death." Agui heard Li Ye's voice and hurried forward, stretched out a hand to pull Li Ye's sleeve.
"Don't pull me, it's like something. What did you buy early this morning? Didn't you cook at home?" Li Ye frowned.
"Your master's wife and Mu Mu want to eat buns. I went to buy some and come back. Master, do you want to eat two?" Agui let go of his hand and followed Li Ye in.
"I've had breakfast in the temple. Have my parents all got up?" Li Ye asked softly.
"Everyone is up, I'm sitting in front of the hall to have tea! Master, it's not raining, why are you wearing a hat? Should I take it down and take it for you?"
Agui looked at Li Ye’s strange appearance and asked in confusion.
Li Ye waved his hand and said, "You don't have to pay attention to my business."
While they were talking, the two had already arrived in front of the hall.
Ye Zhiqiu was holding Li Xiaoxue and feeding porridge. Li Hongxiu sat next to Mr. Yi to drink tea. Xiaoqing and Mu Mu were not seen, and Xiaobai was not seen.
Li Ye looked at Ye Zhiqiu, his eyes turned red, he ran forward and knelt in front of Ye Zhiqiu, and called out softly: "Mother."
Ye Zhiqiu watched a man wearing a hat follow Agui from afar, but he didn't expect it was his own son. He was shocked and almost threw the bowl in his hand to the ground, and quickly placed it on the table.
He stepped forward and helped Li Ye up, and his tears fell down. After not seeing him for two years, his mother felt as sad as a knife.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back! Oh, why are you wearing a hat on this hot day? Take it off quickly." Ye Zhiqiu was as curious as Agui.
Li Ye was stunned, thought for a while, slowly took off the purple bamboo hat that he wore on his head, raised his head, and looked at Ye Zhiqiu quietly.
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned and stuffed Li Xiaoxue into Li Hongxiu, hugged Li Ye tightly, and cried, "What kind of evil did you do? How did you become like this? How can you go out to meet people in the future!"
Li Hongxiu turned his head and looked at Li Ye's appearance. With a "pop", a mouthful of tea almost sprayed on the husband.
He smiled and said, "Little guy, what are you playing? Do you want to sing an opera?"
She wanted Xiaoxue in her arms, looked at Li Ye, and opened her mouth and shouted, "Brother...Brother."
Li Hongxiu looked at Li Xiaoxue in her arms in surprise and patted her butt gently.
He said, "My mother, I will hold you every day, feed you, and wipe your butt. You haven't learned to call me, but you will first learn to call this brother who I have never met before, and I will be so angry."
The gentleman pointed to the stool in front of him and said, "Sit down and talk, and drink tea first."
Agui put down his food box and stood aside and stared at the few people blankly.
The Master walked out when he heard the movement outside, looked at Li Ye sitting, and smiled with satisfaction.
He nodded and said, "No, people have grown taller and have become more energetic." In his eyes, he didn't care about the light gray on Li Ye's face. For him, as long as his son is safe.
Ye Zhiqiu sat next to Li Ye with tears in his eyes, holding his hand tightly, and Li Xiaoxue looked at Li Ye with her black eyes open.
In desperation, Li Ye sighed and said softly: "Dad, my son was struck by lightning on the mountain, so it turned out like this. It's not a big deal, I'm already used to it."
The gentleman nodded and said with a smile: "Yer'er's appearance is a good thing and will not make people worry about it. After that, it will naturally change back. Don't worry."
Li Ye took out his hand towel and wiped Ye Zhiqiu's tears.
He held her hand and said with a smile: "Dad, where are the younger brothers and sisters I picked up for you on the mountain?"
Ye Zhiqiu pointed to the back mountain and said, "Xiaobai is very well-behaved. Go and get spring water to make tea for the husband. Mu Mu pulled Xiaoqing and was still sleeping in the bed."
"It's still lively at the foot of the mountain. I'm so bored with Xiaobai on the mountain." Li Ye looked around and sighed.
Li Ye hugged his sister from Li Hongxiu's arms, kissed her little face, and said with a smile: "Sister, call me brother again."
Li Xuemei made him giggle and laughed, and then she screamed again with a silly voice: "Brother."
The master slapped the table, looked at the gentleman, pointed at Li Ye and said, "Sir, look, my daughter hasn't learned to call her father yet, but she has learned to call her brother first."
Ye Zhiqiu, who was wiped with tears, looked at the Master and said angrily: "She knew Ye'er was kind to her and had good things on the mountain, so she kept them all for her. Naturally, she learned to call her brother first."
"I'll see you, why don't you think you're not going to be stubborn? A handsome little guy who was separated from me for a year and turned into a dusty face. It's really heartbreaking."
Li Hongxiu looked at him and started to mutter.
