(I'm stuck, I'm ready to speed up the progress)
Kuxin and Kushen followed Kuzhu out, and Li Xiu followed.
Nearing the end of the day, the monks in the dormitory went to the fasting hall to get food one after another.
Go down the stairs and exit the pagoda temple. Li Xiu followed the three of them through a huge school ground where teams of monks were practicing.
When passing by two pagodas and temples, groups of monks from the gray robes of the bitter generation and monks from the Jie generation in gray robes with blue borders came out of the two pagodas and temples.
When the monks from the Jiezi generation came out, the group of monks from the Kuzi generation all stopped there, waiting for the monks who were one generation above them to leave.
It was gray and bright, and a large group of bald lads marched towards the dining hall.
Li Xiu followed the bald troops until they reached a huge pagoda temple.
This tower is seven stories high. The tower body is huge and has eight sides and nine corners. The layers go up, and the layers get smaller as you go up.
In Li Xiu's opinion, it is no exaggeration to say that this seven-story pagoda temple is a skyscraper.
The eight gates at the bottom of the pagoda are open and smooth. There are not only tens of thousands of monks coming in and out, but thousands of them.
Following Ku Xin and Ku Shen, Li Xiu also successfully arrived at the second floor of the dining hall.
At a stall that looks like a university cafeteria, several bald chef monks serve meals to each of the warrior monks.
Rows of long wooden tables and benches were filled with monks of the bitter generation.
Li Xiu looked at this scene. He also felt very happy. He picked up the dinner plate and followed the painstakingly and painstakingly long queue. Li Xiu looked around the canteen.
The monk who had finished his meal went to look for a table, while the monk who had not prepared his meal continued to wait.
Kushen and Li Xiu talked about the taboos of entering the dining hall, and Kuxin intentionally or unintentionally told Kushen to say less. By then, Monk Zhou had noticed the two of them.
Noisy and loud noises are not allowed in the dining hall, so I have to keep silent.
Li Xiu wanted to ask something else, but suddenly his nose smelled a very faint scent of sandalwood.
Although this aura was not easy to detect, he was definitely impressed.
Li Xiu looked back at the monk who just walked over and frowned slightly.
A gray-clothed monk who was also from a bitter generation, judging from the way he walked, he didn't have any internal martial arts power at all.
Li Xiu unconsciously looked in the direction of the monk. The monk walked far away and found a secluded corner. After the monk there stood up after finishing his meal, he smiled politely and sat down.
Li Xiu also saw the man's face at this time.
The face of the forty-year-old was extremely elegant, and his face was as gray as bloodless. When he smiled, Li Xiu felt that the monk's white teeth were already reflecting light!
The monk seemed to notice Li Xiu's gaze. He turned his head and looked towards Li Xiu.
Li Xiu couldn't turn his eyes away at this time. He smiled and nodded to the monk, who also smiled and nodded.
Li Xiu turned around and continued to line up, when Kushen whispered: "That one is the same as you, this year's work-study Zen monk, Kuchen!"
"Oh? Junior Brother Kushen knows so much? Is he also an invited lay scholar and working-study monk?" Li Xiu asked curiously.
"Yes! There are only a few working-study monks at most every year, and every working-study monk will be a senior monk in the Kuchan Hall and the Mingji Hall! How could we junior fellow students of the Ku family not know this?" Kushen said.
"Kuchan Hall? Mingji Hall? Junior brother, do you have so much confidence in our working-study monks?" Li Xiu asked curiously.
"Everyone knows that you work-study monks have a single-minded understanding of Zen Buddhist scriptures! It doesn't take a year of retreat to give birth to Buddha nature. The daily growth of the relic stupa is much better than that of us warrior monks. !" Kushen said with some envy.
"Then where are these two meditation halls?"
"Senior Brother Kuju doesn't know something. Kuchan Hall and Ningji Hall only accept disciples who can calm their minds and understand their intentions! They are holy places that impact the realm of Shari Buddha. Saint monks from Baoguang Buddha Land often appear to bless them with Buddhist power! "
…
Kushen whispered a lot of things, and the more he talked, the more confused Li Xiu became.
What impact on the realm of relics, calming the mind and clearing the mind, relics and pagodas, there are a lot of words that Li Xiu had only half-understood before.
Li Xiu felt that there were many secrets in this pagoda temple, and the things Kushen said were just superficial things.
Finally reaching the entrance of the meal hall, Li Xiuhe and the three of them finished the meal and painstakingly looked for Kuzhu in the hall.
The two of them, who had worked hard and were tall and tall, glanced around and saw Kuzhu eating alone in the distance.
The three of them walked straight to Kuzhu's seat and sat down. Kuzhu was far stingier than Li Xiu imagined, and he did not talk to the three of them.
Li Xiu just smiled and didn't step forward to say anything. He looked like a man in his forties now, and he couldn't be as experienced as a stupid young man in his twenties. As long as no one bothered him, he would be alone. People practice cultivation with their heads down.
The two of them talked painstakingly to their boss, Ku Zhu, while Li Xiu quickly finished the vegetarian meal on the plate.
Looking at the working-study monk named Ku Chen again, Li Xiu fell into deep contemplation.
The sandalwood scent just now was so familiar to Li Xiu! The sandalwood coffin, a magic weapon, worn by Prince Ji Dan, his father Li Fengyuan’s best friend, smells like this!
The reason why Prince Ji Dan doesn't show any corpse energy is because of that coffin weapon! The sandalwood was extremely rare and precious, and was regarded as a treasure by Prince Ji Dan.
Looking at Kuchen's body, there is a string of more than a hundred Buddhist beads made of the same material as Prince Ji Dan's wooden coffin!
Li Xiu shook his head, thinking of his father again. I wonder if he is still alive after more than 20 years? Li Xiu left the Southern Territory in a hurry back then because he was wanted by the monks from the Yan Kingdom's royal family! I don’t know if it will affect my father?
…
After dinner, it was time for the afternoon class. Li Xiu took the wooden fish given to him by the Tanyuan laymen and followed the book and map given to him by Jie Qian to meditate in the meditation hall.
The Zen Hall is also a pagoda temple building with many levels of quiet rooms. On each floor, there is a master with the title of Jie, who organizes his disciples to beat wooden fish and chant sutras.
Before the transition, Li Xiu once again went to the Zhaitang for dinner with a large group of monks. After that, there is the evening class, and we continue to chant sutras and knock wooden fish.
When Xu time passes, the monks will rest and sleep. Get up at Yin time tomorrow morning and go to class early at Mao time.
It was like this all day long, and Li Xiu gradually adapted to life in the temple.
A few days passed, and the two of them became more and more distant from Li Xiu. Maybe it was Kuzhu's instigation, but it was better this way, no one would disturb him, and he would avoid trouble.
…
One month after Li Xiu came to Pagoda Temple, the young monk Jie Qian who first received him found Li Xiu.
"Senior nephew Kuju, the master's uncle ordered me to take you to Wuliang Hall to study the "Moko Golden Chapter". You will be in retreat at Wuliang Hall this month. "Senior nephew Kuju, please prepare well. I will take you there later. !" Mr. Jie Qian said generally.
Li Xiu packed up his things and brought his wooden fish and a few necessary items.
Carrying the package on his back, Li Xiu followed Jie Qian who was waiting outside and walked to a temple in the distance.
