After lunch, Xia Huanxiang called Yinyi and prepared to leave Hanshan Temple.
Due to emotions and reasons, Futan, the person who brought them here, should come to see them off, and earlier Futan had indeed promised Xia Huanxiang that he would see them off, but now he couldn't wait for Futan to come.
"Is the monk reluctant to leave us, so he's not going to say goodbye?" Xia Huanxiang said to Yin Yi.
Yin Yi said without even thinking: "No."
Although they had not been together for a short time, Yin Yi knew very well that Futan was not such a pretentious person.
Xia Huanxiang thought the same. She just said casually, "Okay, let's go find him and say goodbye."
The two of them went to the main hall in front to find Futan.
As soon as I walked halfway, I saw a young novice monk walking in a hurry, shouting as he ran: "It's not good, it's not good, Brother Futan is going to return to secular life!"
Xia Huanxiang paused for a moment, his eyes lit up, and the next second he ran out to catch the little novice monk who was obviously going to report the news.
"Senior Brother Futan, are you going to return to secular life?" She grabbed the young novice by the collar.
The little novice monk was grabbed by the back and couldn't run out anymore. He could only stand still and turned to look at Xia Huanxiang who was asking questions.
He was extremely anxious, but due to the rules and etiquette, he could only salute Xia Huanxiang first, "Yes, senior brother Futan suddenly told the abbot that he wanted to return to secular life. The young monk must quickly notify other senior uncles and senior brothers." Then he twisted. Body, I hope Xia Huanxiang lets go of him quickly and doesn't waste the time to persuade Senior Brother Futan.
Xia Huanxiang raised his eyebrows, but without letting go of the little novice monk, he continued to ask: "Where is your senior brother Futan?"
"Vajra Palace."
The little novice monk was in a hurry to call someone, and Xia Huan answered whatever he wanted to ask without hiding anything. So, he got Xia Huanxiang's hand and let go.
After Xia Huan wanted to let go of him, he shook his head at Yin Yi and said, "Let's go."
She is familiar with the Diamond Palace. I wandered around Hanshan Temple every day for the past ten days. I passed by the Vajra Hall countless times and I had already memorized the route.
Yin Yi followed her silently.
The two quickly arrived at the Diamond Palace.
At this time, the Vajra Hall was closed, but Xia Huanxiang could sense that Fu Tan was indeed in the hall.
Just as she was about to go up and knock on the door, the door of the Vajra Palace suddenly opened, and Futan walked out.
Seeing Xia Huanxiang and Yin Yi, Fu Tan smiled at them, but quickly suppressed his smile, turned around and bowed upright and respectfully to the abbot who was walking behind.
The abbot half-closed his eyes. He also saw that Xia was thinking about them, but he didn't say anything. He only looked at Futan with a compassionate face, and said in a helpless and indulgent tone: "Go."
"Thank you, abbot."
The abbot said "hmm" and added, "Everything in the world has its own destiny."
Fu Tan said with a look of acceptance, "Disciple, please remember this."
After saluting again, Futan turned around and walked towards Xia Huanxiang and the others.
"Donor Xia, you can go on your way."
Xia Huanxiang raised an eyebrow at him, "I heard that you want to return to secular life?"
Fu Tan smiled: "Yes." He answered calmly.
Xia Huanxiang glanced at his smile, then turned to look at the abbot standing in front of the King Kong Hall. After thinking about it, he said to the abbot with a smile: "Abbott, please don't worry, I will treat Fu Tan well."
The abbot recited "Amitabha", and his expression could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
There were footsteps coming from a distance, and after a while, all the brothers and sisters who came after the little novice monk arrived after learning that Fu Tan was going to return to secular life.
"Senior Brother Futan."
"Senior Brother Futan..."
"Junior Brother Futan..."
They came one by one, but after meeting the abbot and Fu Tan, none of them could open their mouths.
No, does Senior Brother Futan really want to return to secular life? He grew up in Hanshan Temple and was praised as a son of Buddha!
Futan understood it well and bowed to all the brothers, "When you enter the temple gate, you will be taken care of by all the brothers."
The brothers looked at Futan with concern.
Futan looked at Xia Huanxiang.
Xia Wan wanted to understand what he meant instantly.
"It's getting late." Xia Huan said.
-
After leaving Hanshan Temple, Xia Huanxiang became more and more satisfied as he thought about it. This trip to Hanshan Temple was really fruitful.
Not only did he get a bunch of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but he also successfully pried away his Buddhist son.
Ai Guo also thinks that the god of his family is really awesome.
Its previous hosts had not been so successful in allowing Buddhist disciples to return to secular life.
Thinking of this, Xia Huanxiang had to bring up the old matter again: "Two guardians, have you thought about the name of our sect?"
Yin Yi: "...No."
Futan laughed sarcastically.
Xia Huanxiang could see that neither of them was reliable. It could be seen that the burden of the sect would still be on her shoulders in the future.
"Alas -" After sighing, Xia Huanxiang thought of another question to ask Futan, "You have returned to secular life, what should I call you in the future? Is it inappropriate to still call you Futan?"
"Just call me the poor monk Fu Tan." As he said that, he acted like a monk and put his hands together naturally.
"Still a 'poor monk'?" Xia Wanwan wanted to ask him.
Fu Tan quoted what the abbot said before, "Everything in the world has its own destiny," and then added two more sentences, "If you have a Buddha in your heart, you can practice anywhere, and you don't have to sit in a temple to practice."
After Xia Wanxiang listened, he was silent for a while, and then asked: "Can you tell me what exactly you told the abbot of your temple?"
Futan didn't hide anything, and recited the conversation between him and the abbot to her honestly and truthfully.
Earlier, after Xia Huan wanted to ask him if he wanted to leave with her, Futan thought about it. Thinking of Yin Yi's promise, he also decided to fulfill his promise, so he went to tell the abbot that he decided to return to secular life. He followed Xia Huan and wanted to establish a sect.
The abbot was naturally surprised when he first heard that he wanted to return to secular life. However, after hearing his explanation, the abbot put aside his surprise and asked him a few questions.
After listening to the abbot's question, Futan suddenly became enlightened and had a complete idea about his future life path.
Seeing him like this, the abbot agreed to his request to return to secular life without any further obstruction.
Xia Wanwan wanted to hear Futan's retelling. He could only say he was a little envious. This teacher was really good.
After satisfying Xia's delusional curiosity, Futan asked her: "What are the two arrangements for next?"
"Oh. Yinyi and I decided to go to Xiaochuan Town to stay for one night first, and then set off to Biliang Ferry during the day tomorrow." Biliang Ferry is the only official ferry connecting the human world and the heaven. Every once in a while, there are flying boats to the heaven.
It is said that the rail tickets are difficult to obtain, and Xia Huanxiang has not yet figured out how to get the rail tickets.
Yin Yi has been active in the heaven world. This is his first time in the human world. He doesn't know how to get back.
But now that there is Futan, a person who has been to heaven, the situation suddenly becomes optimistic.
"What do you want to do when you go to heaven?" Futan asked Xia Huanxiang.
Xia Huan wanted to say: "Go beat up Hua'erqing."
"That's it." Futan nodded thoughtfully, "It's exactly what the poor monk meant."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
