The flying flowers in spring are intoxicating.
In the afternoon, the small courtyard was enveloped in the fragrance of rice. Li Ye kept stirring the steamed rice in the pot, Xiaohua added firewood to the stove from time to time, and Nangong Ruyu moved a small stool to the side to amuse herself. Black rabbit.
Black Rabbit looked at Li Ye and Xiaohua in shock, rubbing Nangong Ruyu's body from time to time, but staring at the basin of washed green vegetable leaves on the table.
"Let the vegetable leaves dry. Don't rush to feed them. You'll get diarrhea. What's the weather like? It's only spring and it's so hot. Xiaohua went to the house and brought me a big bowl of herbal tea."
Li Ye was covered in sweat while bathing in the two big stoves. Nangong Ruyu looked at him and said with a smile, "Master, you have no image. Sister Wutong will definitely laugh at you if she sees it."
Listening to Nangong Ruyu's ridicule, Li Ye felt a little annoyed. He also thought that his senior brother was too tolerant. He actually bought ten large tanks this time. Was this to compete with Xuantian Temple?
I walked to the well to get a bucket of cold water, took a towel and carefully wiped the sweat stains on my body.
"Yu'er, how can anyone laugh at the master like you?" Li Ye looked at her pretending to be angry.
Nangong Ruyu threw down the melon seeds, picked up the black rabbit and ran to the living room.
"Xiaohua, hurry up and pour the tea, the master is angry and wants to beat Yu'er."
Nangong Ruyu, who is as big as a brat, has never been afraid of Li Ye since he started practicing with him, but from time to time he would make both Xiaohua and Li Ye laugh.
Xiaohua came out with a bowl of herbal tea, ignored Nangong Ruyu's shouting, walked to the tree and handed it to Li Ye.
"Sir, you have brewed a lot of wine. Xiaohua wants to bring two jars to Yu'er's grandfather when he goes back another day." Xiaohua looked at Li Ye and asked softly.
Nangong Ruyu hid at the door of the living room and shouted loudly: "Yes, yes, master must not forget Yu'er's grandfather and aunt!"
Li Ye took the herbal tea, looked at Nangong Ruyu's head peeking out from the living room door, and said with a smile, "Okay, come here and let me pet your rabbit."
"Master is talking nonsense again! Master wants to abuse Yu'er's rabbit, don't even think about it!"
Before she finished speaking, the door to the living room was slammed shut by her.
Li Ye looked at Xiaohua and smiled: "Master Nangong? I will bring it to him. Xiaohua, do you have any relatives? Do you want to give you an urn to take back?"
Xiaohua shook her head and replied: "Xiaohua doesn't know, I have to ask the head of the family about this."
Li Ye shook his head, drank all the herbal tea in the bowl, and replied, "I'll ask him for you next time I go back."
Xiaohua said: "It doesn't matter, it's been so many years, Xiaohua has gotten used to it."
Placing the bowl in his hand on the stone platform, Li Ye shook his head and sighed in a low voice: "What a poor girl."
At nightfall, Li Ye completed half of the task and filled five large tanks.
Xiaohua started cooking, and Nangong Ruyu returned to the yard, holding a book in her hand and reading.
The clouds are against the rain, the snow is against the wind, and the evening light is against the clear sky.
The approaching geese are opposite to the departing geese, and the local birds are opposite to the singing insects.
Three-foot sword, six-jun bow, Lingbei faces Jiangdong.
...
Childish voices floated around the small courtyard. Starting at Xuantian Temple, Li Ye taught her and Xiaohua how to read and write.
Whenever she doesn't have to practice swordsmanship, the little girl will hold a book and read a paragraph, just like Li Ye in Chunfeng Academy back then, as naturally and ordinary as Li Ye.
She has just started reading thousands of books.
Just after dinner, Wuxin came to the small courtyard alone.
Looking at Li Ye who was busy, he asked, "Uncle, are you free? I just want to ask for advice."
Li Ye looked at Xiao Hua and said, "While it's still early, take Yu'er to the square in front of the main hall. You can go to the lotus pond. Don't stay bored in the house all day."
When Nangong Ruyu heard this, she took Wu Xin's hand and said, "Yu'er goes out to play, daddy, don't run away!"
Wuxin looked at her and nodded, smiling: "Daddy isn't going anywhere, he's waiting for you here."
After sitting down, Li Ye started making tea and asked with a smile: "Have you figured it out? This time I plan to accompany you down the mountain, just in time to let Yu'er see her grandfather..."
"I've been thinking about it all winter, but I still haven't figured it out." Wu Xin glanced at him and replied quietly: "Should I return to the human world to practice?"
"If there is a perfect Dharma in the world, it will not fail the Tathagata and I will not fail you."
After saying this, Li Ye stopped talking and began to boil water, warm the pot, wash the tea, and wash the cups.
"Why?" Wu Xin muttered, with a confused look on his face.
What answered him was a cup of steaming tea, and a faint scent of tea spread in the yard.
"Good tea. Junior Master's tea ceremony is indeed the best in the temple." Wu Xin took a sip and praised sincerely.
"Good tea? Is there any difference between teas?" Li Ye looked at him quietly and said, "I can make this tea in Prajna Temple, I can make it in the Nangong Family, and the same is true in the Five Domains Imperial City. "
Wuxin realized at this moment that Li Ye frowned and looked at him seriously, giving him a sense of oppression.
This has never happened before.
"I can't stay in Prajna Temple all the time. I also have my own responsibilities. And I will always take Yu'er with me to practice. I will fulfill my responsibility as a master. Where are you?"
Li Ye stared into his eyes and asked seriously.
Wu Xin was stunned and stared at Li Ye, speechless for a long time. Even now, he had never thought about whether to go down the mountain with Li Ye.
However, Li Ye just said one sentence and it penetrated his fragile heart.
Even someone as profound in Buddhism as my uncle would leave the Prajna Temple. His daughter would practice with him, and he would not have to bear the responsibility of being a father. But where are the parents at home?
His heart was in chaos and was no longer a pool of stagnant water.
The seed that Li Ye had buried in his heart for several years finally quietly bloomed its first buds in this spring...
"I don't have much time. I will visit the Nangong family in a few days, and I will take Yu'er into the mountains to collect medicine." Li Ye sighed softly.
"Fortunately, there are still some days left. If you think about it seriously, after this time, I will no longer care about your affairs. I have done my duty, and the rest is yours."
Li Ye looked at the tea leaves in the cup that were unwilling to sink to the bottom of the cup, and murmured softly.
"If I don't want to be taught, I will think about it carefully and won't let my little uncle worry about it anymore."
Wu Xin looked at Li Ye's sad look and felt mixed emotions in his heart, not knowing what to do. Even after listening to Li Ye's words, he still couldn't make up his mind for a while.
He wanted to go back to discuss with his master and ask Wuyou for his opinion.
"Why do you need to practice if you are so indecisive? Just go home and become the eldest son of the Nangong family."
Li Ye looked at it, shook his head, and said nothing.
The drums in the temple beat, hitting their hearts hard.
The drums in the evening and the bells in the morning cannot wash away all the troubles in the world, let alone an idiot like Wuxin who has experienced three lives and three lives of love.
Xiaohua took Nangong Ruyu, who had been shopping around, back to the small courtyard. Li Ye looked at the little girl running in and said softly: "Yu'er, chat with your father for a while while the master goes to copy scriptures."
Without waiting for Wu Xin to reply, he stood up and left.
There is no sun or moon in the mountains, and there are many worries in the mountains. He was upset at Xuantian Temple because of the upcoming departure of his two masters and Jiang Ruoyu. When he returned to Prajna Temple, he started to worry about Wu Xin again.
There is a way to have both peace and security in the world,
I will live up to Tathagata and live up to you!
Secretly laughing bitterly, Brother Minghui spent a lot of effort to get him to enter Buddhism and practice, but he actually spent more time trying to persuade Wu Xin to return to the human world.
Wherever the Dharma is, there is the Bodhisattva. Wu Xin, can you understand this? Infatuated by love, hurt by love, that woman of three lives has paid off your love debt, and she has let it go.
Why do you still carry it behind your back and refuse to let it go?
Thinking of this, Li Ye took down the inkstone that had not been used for a long time from the bookshelf in the room, poured some water into it, and started sharpening the inkstone carefully.
He wanted to copy this volume of scripture and give it to Wu Xin, so that he could practice the transcendental Dharma in the mortal world.
Rain Mandala, Manjushuahua,
The wind of sandalwood can please everyone's heart.
After not copying scriptures for a long time, he once again sat by the window. His heart was not as calm as in the past. It seemed that the spring breeze outside the window was causing a ripple...
Unexpectedly, the heart cannot be as still as water, and the heart cannot be as calm as a rock.
It seems that after wallowing in the secular world for the past few years, I have finally become infected with the fireworks of the world, and I am further away from the realm of separation from the world.
After thinking about it, I have practiced Buddhism diligently for more than ten years, but I still remain in the realm of "keep your fingers clean at all times to avoid being contaminated by dust."
...
He got up early in the spring, and instead of rushing to make wine, he took the broom to the stone steps at the mountain gate.
At this time, Prajna Temple had not yet woken up from the night, and the monk who replaced him to sweep the floor would not have arrived so early.
Looking at the few fallen leaves falling on the stone steps, I thought that spring has just arrived, but you have left the branches.
However, he forgot that he was hurting his spring.
Although he had practiced Buddhism for countless years, he still fell into the trap prepared for him by spring.
At this time, he no longer had the same interest as when he came to Prajna Temple with his sword dancing in the wind. He just took his time and swept away the dust on the ground.
Li Ye sighed, thinking that he was really far behind senior brother Minghui.
If the senior brother is already standing on the mountainside, he is still at the bottom of the mountain.
It seems that after sweeping the floor today, I have to go over and ask for a cup of tea and talk about the principles of Buddhism and the laws of the world.
I am not a Buddha, but I still walk in the world. Do I want to embrace the compassion of a Buddha?
Before midnight, Li Ye ended his practice in front of the main hall. He looked at the monk who came to clean with a broom and said with a smile: "I will do it these days."
With the visitor's surprised expression, he walked towards the dining hall.
He had already seen Brother Minghui queuing up at the back of the queue, waiting for the signal from the monk.
...
After dinner, Li Ye invited Minghui to the small courtyard to make tea and discuss Taoism.
Minghui looked at him with a smile and asked: "The look in your eyes seems not to be satisfactory. Could it be that you have encountered something troublesome?"
Li Ye looked up at him and chanted softly: "In this world, there is peace and prosperity, and I will live up to the Tathagata and live up to you!"
"Ah?" Minghui was stunned, looked at him and asked, "Are you doing this for Wu Xin? Or for yourself?"
"Both for Wu Xin and for myself." Li Ye looked at him and said quietly,
Minghui considered it, looked at him and said seriously: "This is an unreasonable Zen idea. Don't try to explain it, because you have decided to stay in the world in this life, so there is no such choice."
"Why are you so unintentional?" Li Ye lowered his eyelids and stared at his pair of shoes, his heart trembling.
Ming Hui stopped smiling and found that the little junior brother in front of him was like a piece of clean jade that was suddenly covered with a trace of dust, requiring him to reach up and wipe it away.
Lifting the gold necklace looking at the main hall, Minghui said calmly: "Junior brother, your heart is confused and you need to wash it off."
Instead of reasoning, he emphasized that he needed to take a shower.
"I think so." Li Ye smiled, looked back at the lotus pond in front of the hall, and asked softly: "Senior brother, can that pond of water be washed clean?"
Minghui looked at him, nodded, and replied: "As long as you are willing!"
Li Ye thought for a while, shook his head and laughed: "You have to let this matter go. I am brewing ten tanks of wine with you right now? Aren't you afraid that the wine will turn sour?"
When Minghui heard this, she laughed angrily, looked at him and said with a smile, "You try?"
He thought to himself, "How dare you destroy these ten jars of wine for me? Let's see how I deal with you."
Li Ye looked at the wall of the small courtyard and said with a smile: "Senior brother, when you arranged for me to practice here, did you just think that such a day would come?"
Ming Hui turned to look at him and smiled: "If I said yes, would you believe it?"
...
