The old man boiled water, poured tea for the four of them, picked up the teacup and said, "With this cup of tea, I wish them to practice under the bodhi tree and achieve enlightenment soon."
Shangguan Wushuang and Dongfang Yu'er opened their mouths and didn't understand for a long time. It wasn't until the old monk called for tea that he came back to his senses.
Looking at Lao He, he said: "This is so amazing. After one punch, you will have an epiphany? I will go there soon and let him teach me."
"I want to learn too, Sister Wushuang, let's learn together." Dongfang Yu'er held the tea cup in her little hand and looked at the old monk and said.
Hearing what the two Taoists said, the old monk smiled and said: "This kind of boxing technique is extremely hard and powerful and is not suitable for women's practice. Princess Wushuang, I heard Ye'er say that he asked Mr. Mo to find you a set of boxing techniques suitable for women's practice. Didn’t I give you the technique?”
The young lady shook her head like a rattle and said, "He didn't give it to me, and neither did Mr. Mo?"
Dongfang Yu'er took over and said: "Sister Wushuang, my aunt and I went to the husband's house yesterday, but we didn't see Li Ye. The husband gave me a book of exercises, saying it was for you and me. I guess your Still at sir’s place.”
The young lady was frightened just now and felt thirsty. She picked up the cup and drank all the tea before saying: "This guy didn't even give it to me. He will come later and ask for his money!"
Dongfang Yu'er smiled, and Agui also covered his mouth and laughed. Only the old monk didn't understand what was going on.
"What's the share? Who owes you?" Hearing the voice, it was Li Ye who came.
The two young ladies looked up and opened their mouths, but said nothing for a long time.
"Have you two behaved differently? It's outrageous to shout loudly even in front of my master." Li Ye spoke like an adult and frowned.
The two young ladies looked at Li Ye like curious babies. Shangguan Wushuang stood up, touched Li Ye's face with his little hands, and said: "Junior brother, how did you get out of the cocoon? So fast? Teach me how to follow you Second sister, can you?"
Dongfang Yu'er also looked at Li Ye and nodded, meaning that I also want to learn.
Li Ye pulled away the young lady's hand and said inexplicably: "What cocoon? Where did it come from? I'm just tired from practicing, so I meditated under the tree to rest for a while."
The old monk looked at Li Ye with a smile and thought to himself: Enlightenment without knowing it is a non-action seeking for the Tao and a non-absent form of giving. Very good, very good. The old monk said nothing, but quickly recited the sutra several times.
Li Ye saluted the master, sat down, took the tea cup, and poured tea.
Agui saw Li Ye coming and said quickly: "Master, this is Master Zheng from the Jinxiu Garment Store in the city, here to measure the clothes for the master."
Li Ye stood up and bowed to the old tailor, then sat down and said, "Master, have you measured my master? I'm causing you trouble by asking you to come all the way here."
Master Zheng looked at him and smiled and said, "It's no trouble. It's also our blessing to be able to make monk's robes for the great monk."
Li Ye nodded and saluted him respectfully: "Thank you for your trouble, master."
The old monk was full of joy. He looked at Li Ye and said, "I've already measured it just now. I don't go out often. Why do I need to make new monk clothes? It's a waste of money."
"It is the right thing for a disciple to make clothes for the Master. Although wearing new and old clothes is part of spiritual practice, there is no need to deliberately avoid the Master to avoid getting confused." Li Ye added a piece of charcoal and boiled water.
The old monk was stunned, thinking that he almost fell into a trap due to his persistence in a single thought. The Buddha-nature of this disciple who is chanting Namo Amitabha in his mouth is really beyond words.
Li Ye glanced at Agui again and said, "Did you bring the money?"
Agui came over and handed Li Ye the bag containing the gold coins and said, "As the young master ordered, I took a hundred coins, and the rest are with sir."
Li Ye nodded. He turned to the old tailor and said, "Master, please tell me how much money it will cost to make three sets of spring, summer, autumn and winter for my master."
When the old tailor heard this, he quickly replied: "Our shopkeeper said that there is no charge for making monk's robes for the master. The shopkeeper will know exactly how many workers it takes."
Li Ye shook his head and said: "It's my job to make clothes for Master, and I can't miss out on your craftsmen's wages. In this way, I will give you ten gold coins first. You go back to the village to make the clothes first, and we will pick up the clothes later." Do you think it’s okay to give back more and make up less when the time comes?”
After speaking, he opened the bag on the table, counted ten gold coins from it, and handed them to the old tailor with both hands.
When the old tailor saw Li Ye like this, he had no choice but to accept it. Then he said: "Master Li, do you want me to write you a list?"
"No, I believe you. Also, please use good fabrics to keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. If you don't have enough money, I will give you more." Li Ye waved.
After saying that, he placed the bag containing the gold coins next to the old monk's wooden fish and said softly: "Master, there are dozens of gold coins here. You can handle all the expenses yourself."
The old tailor was also moved when he heard this, thinking that the young master of the Li family was really indifferent to money, and he was really filial to the old monk.
The old monk didn't reply immediately. He just touched Li Ye's head with his hand and remained silent for a while.
Li Ye looked at his master's look and wondered if he was feeling sad, so he quickly said: "Master, this is Mr. Li from Hongxiu Tower in the city. He asked his disciple to write a poem and gave him a reward. Wushuang and Yu'er have nothing to do with it. all know."
"I still have a lot, so don't be sad." Li Ye thought to himself that the master is compassionate and compassionate, and is a great Bodhisattva in the world.
The young lady and Dongfang Yu'er nodded together, like chickens pecking at rice, and replied: "Yes, master, don't feel bad, Li Ye still has a lot, he still has to give it to the two of us."
The old monk couldn't help but laugh after hearing the explanations of the two young ladies.
The solemn Buddhist hall occasionally needs flawless sentient beings to bring happy moments.
The old monk at this moment is the Bodhisattva who holds flowers and smiles to protect the world.
"In this way, the teacher will provide lamp oil for the Bodhisattvas for you, and then give some white porridge to all living beings to accumulate blessings." The old monk thought that the disciple had Bodhi in his heart and his body was like Bodhi.
I heard the sound of cloud boards coming from outside the hall, and it was time to have lunch.
The old monk looked at the old master and the two young ladies, then at Li Ye, and said, "Just leave a few of them to eat vegetarian food in the temple's dining hall. It can also be considered as a meritorious deed for freeing animals. Namo Amitabha!"
After reading, he got up and walked out the door.
When Li Ye heard this, he looked at a few people and said, "Since we are destined, we will have dinner in the temple before going back. Come in later and follow me."
Agui and the old tailor nodded in agreement. Everyone says it is good to eat vegetarian food.
The two young ladies had not eaten in the temple yet, so they were happy when they heard that they were going to eat. They followed Li Ye, not like the two senior sisters, but like followers.
When a few people walked to the dining hall, the monks had already sat down, and a senior brother started serving rice.
Li Ye led a few people in through the back door of the dining hall, sat quietly in the last row, took the alms bowl, and waited for his senior brother to hand out food.
With the Veena Master making an offering to purify the Dharmakaya, the sutra chanting while eating began. After reciting the sutra, you can eat.
The two young ladies followed Li Ye's lead and ate quietly without saying a word.
During their first fast, both of them had a bowl of rice, a bowl of vegetarian vegetables, and a bowl of vegetable soup.
After the meal was over, Master Veena started the sadhana prayer again. After all the masters and brothers left, Li Ye led a few people to wash his own bowls and then walked out of the door of the dining hall.
The two young ladies turned around, glanced at the dining hall, and thought to themselves: This fasting meal is not that bad, I will have more of it in the future.
The old monk went back to the Buddhist hall by himself. Li Ye sent a few people out of the temple gate and said to Agui as they walked: "You don't have to come over tomorrow. I will go back in a few days."
Then he looked at the young lady and Dongfang Yu'er and said: "The exercises that the master has chosen for you are useless in these five areas. It takes some effort to practice. Senior sister can copy Yu'er's copy first. If you don't want to copy, go ahead and practice it." Looking for sir."
The four people were sent to two carriages respectively, waved, turned and walked into the temple gate.
Dongfang Yu'er and the young lady got into the carriage. When they were about to leave, they stuck their heads out of the curtain again and looked at Li Shen's thin figure walking into the mountain gate. A trace of emotion arose in her little heart... .
The young lady looked at Dongfang Yu'er's dazed expression, pulled her little hand and said, "Sister Yu'er, do you like this guy? You are only seven years old."
Fang Fang Yu'er's face suddenly turned red. She looked at the little sister and thought to herself: My sister seems to be only one year older than me.
Seeing Dongfang Yu'er blushing, the young lady quickly changed the subject: "Wei Shi, I'm going to Li Ye's house to learn from my master. I'll go to the Hongxiu Tower with you to play for a while first, okay?"
Dongfang Yu'er nodded and said, "Senior sister, do you like brother Li Ye?"
The young lady giggled when she heard this and said with a serious face: "Well, I said last year that I wanted him to marry me when he grows up. However, you can also like him. Let's keep an eye on him together and don't let him run away. ”
When Dongfang Yu'er heard this, she couldn't help but laugh. She held her little sister's hand with her little hand, and the two of them hugged each other and giggled.
A carriage full of laughter followed Agui's old tailor's carriage and drove towards the city.
...
When Li Ye returned to the Buddhist hall, the old monk had already gone back to his room to take a nap.
After lighting a stick of incense in the furnace, Li Ye kowtowed three times to the Bodhisattva on the Buddhist altar and softly recited the scriptures taught by his master.
After sitting for a while, I felt tired, so I put my head on the futon, leaned sideways, and fell asleep soon.
This was the first time that Li Ye got up after smelling the chicken. Following the old monk and practicing the temple rituals, he inevitably felt sleepy.
Li Ye fell asleep, still reciting scriptures.
The incense in the stove burns quietly,
There was a faint fragrance surrounding Li Ye's little body.
The Bodhisattva on the Buddhist altar is at ease,
Her lowered eyes stared at the disciple who was still practicing in her dream.
Time has no end, a moment becomes eternity...
