The weather is getting warmer and warmer. The old apricot tree in the Zen Temple is sprouting buds, and the new buds are spreading out, creating a vibrant scene.
The old monk, who was meditating in the Zen room, heard the door creak open and his eyes turned away from the apricot tree.
He told Mingji who stepped into the house: "The Buddha's Nirvana Day will be in two days. There are many pilgrims coming to the temple to offer incense, so be careful in everything. Beitian Yuan will not take in patients for the time being. We will wait until the Nirvana Day." "
"Disciple, be careful of Master's decree. Early this morning, I ordered Beitian Courtyard to temporarily stop taking in sick people and beggars."
"Best wishes to Zhang E, I want to meet the master!"
Akashi paused, looked at the people waiting under the apricot tree outside the house, and added: "He has been coming to Zending Temple for two days and sincerely wants to see the master."
"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, there is no fear, stay away from upside-down dreams, and reach ultimate nirvana."
Zen Master Dahui read a scripture and said, "Donor Zhang is very obsessed with this. Please bring him here!"
Mingsi went out and nodded to the man walking under the tree. Zhang E followed Mingsi into the meditation room. When Mingsi exited and closed the door of the meditation room, he heard Zhang E's anxious voice from inside the room. .
"When I was presiding over the sacrifice a few days ago, I made a divination and felt deeply frightened."
Zhang E said anxiously: "I am about to face a great disaster, please ask the national master to clarify my doubts."
"Looking at the donor's face, there is no sign of great disaster. Why not follow God's will..."
Ming Si stood at the door of the Zen room and saw Zhang E being comforted by Zen Master Dahui. His eyes flashed and he slowly retreated down the steps outside the Zen room.
Passing through the verandah and heading towards the front hall of the temple, I vaguely heard the sound of an argument coming from the door of the temple.
When Mingji walked out of the temple, he saw a ragged woman kneeling on the verandah, holding on to the robe of the visiting monk and refusing to let go.
"I also asked the holy monk to do a good deed and save my sister. My sister was very ill and was really desperate, so I came to the Zen Temple."
She cried until her eyes blurred with tears: "When my sister recovers from her illness and finds her relatives in Chang'an City, she will definitely repay Zending Temple well."
"Girl, let go!"
There were many pilgrims coming and going at the entrance of the temple, and he couldn't push her away, nor let her pull her to cry. He was anxious when he was pulled, and the welcoming monk looked at the young man holding the child beside him.
He said to the young man: "This benefactor, please persuade her to let go. To be honest, in two days it will be the Nirvana Day of Buddha. There are so many pilgrims in the temple that we really can't accommodate you."
"Your sister is seriously ill. It would be best to seek medical treatment elsewhere as soon as possible."
The young man holding his young sister was angry: "Sister, Chanding Temple refuses to save you, so there is no need to ask him anymore."
"Buddhism values compassion. The Buddha even cut his flesh and fed it to eagles, but they refused to take us in with the excuse of the Buddha's Nirvana Day."
The young man held the dying little sister in his arms and said, "If you don't save her, what kind of Buddhism are you practicing? You are a bald donkey who is hypocritical and hypocritical. You are bringing shame on yourself by begging them."
The woman who was kneeling and dragging the welcoming monk still refused to let go, crying heartbrokenly: "But if we delay any longer, my little sister will die of illness..."
I saw many pilgrims gathering at the entrance of the main hall. If they continue to pester them, they will eventually ruin the reputation of Zending Temple.
Mingji's eyes fell on the white neck on the side of the woman's dirty face, and he squeezed past the pilgrims: "Mingwu, what happened?"
"Senior brother is here!"
The welcoming monk took a long breath and then explained: "Amitabha, these donors came to Chang'an City to find relatives. They encountered robbers on the way, so they had to beg all the way to Chang'an. It rained all night, and the little donor became seriously ill. Therefore, I want to stay at the Beitian Court in the temple for treatment."
The reason for enlightenment is: "The day of Buddha's Nirvana is approaching. There are many pilgrims these days, and there is no extra Zen room to accommodate them..."
When the woman kneeling on the ground looked up with tears in her eyes, Akira took a closer look at her appearance, then withdrew his gaze from her and placed his hand on the little girl's pulse.
After confirming that the child in the young man's arms had a weak pulse and was seriously ill, he said with compassion: "The little benefactor is really seriously ill. If the benefactors don't give up, the poor monk will free up his Zen room and wrong the benefactors." Give it a squeeze.”
"Don't give up, don't give up!"
After learning that Zending Temple was willing to take them in, the kneeling woman cried with joy and kowtowed to Mingji: "Thank you to the holy monk for taking them in. This little girl will never forget the great kindness of the holy monk."
"Amitabha, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Donor, get up quickly."
Amidst the compliments from the surrounding pilgrims, Akira clasped his hands together and led the female donor who got up from the ground and the young man holding the child to the inner courtyard.
After entering the back hall and walking to a remote Zen room, Mingsi introduced people inside.
"This is the Zen house for the poor monk. I'm sorry for the donors to squeeze in. After the poor monk goes to Beitian Yuan to find a junior fellow who knows pharmacology, he can treat the little donor..."
As soon as Ming Si left, Liu Yunying wiped the tears on her face with her sleeves and said excitedly: "Young master, please tell me, is Yunying's acting relatable? Didn't she reveal her secrets?"
"Hey, Yun Ying should act better."
Liu Yunying was full of regrets: "Just now when that bald donkey left with a change of clothes and said he was going to squeeze in with his junior brother, Yunying should have pulled his sleeves and cried so hard that if he hadn't been kind enough to take him in, she would have The little girl's brother and sister are going to live on the streets, and they will have to do everything they can to repay him."
Li Sixu, who was dying in Wang Zhongsi's arms just a moment ago, slipped off his body.
Knowing that Liu Yunying was addicted to acting because of her lines, she reminded her: "Stop it, stop it, the drama is too much and you will get involved. You are playing an official lady who comes to the capital to find her relatives. You have to act like Xuanxuan, a brothel girl, who is about to cry. That's nonsense." It would be frivolous to wear a monk's sleeves and say that you want to make cows and horses for him."
"That's right. When Yunying was so happy, she almost forgot that the young master asked Yunying to play the role of an official lady."
Liu Yunying asked excitedly: "Little master, did the bald donkey of Chanding Temple take the bait? What should we do next?"
When they were at the entrance of the palace, Ming Si, who brought them in, glanced at Liu Yunying's fair neck several times.
They all vacated their Zen rooms and allowed them to live in them.
I also want to ask if you took the bait?
The maid next to the princess seemed a little stupid. Although he successfully entered the Zen Temple, Wang Zhongsi began to worry about whether the maid chosen by the little princess would spoil the big event.
The silly palace maid who was in high spirits simply ignored her and let her pester Li Sixu to ask questions. Wang Zhongsi's eyes passed over the apricot tree in the courtyard and his pupils shrank sharply when he saw the person coming out of the Zen room opposite.
"Princess, look over there!"
Li Sixu followed Wang Zhongsi's gaze and saw the middle-aged man walking out of the meditation room.
She asked Wang Zhongsi: "What's wrong with that man?"
