Sword narration is painful in the world

Along the way, Leng Fengye suffered from hunger. Fortunately, the journey was not too far, and he arrived at the foot of Mount Wutai that day.

What I saw before me were towering mountains, stretching thousands of miles across, and numerous temples, which was so spectacular that it was like a world-famous Foshan holy land.

Leng Fengye thought that this must be a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. If he could learn from his master here, he would definitely achieve something.

In fact, there are three or sixty-nine people everywhere, and Wutai Mountain is no exception. There are murderers and robbers. Only because they were arrested by the officials and had nowhere to live did they go to Mount Wutai to be ordained and become monks.

There was a rule in the Ming Dynasty that as long as you became a monk, even if you jumped out of the Three Realms and were no longer in the Five Elements, you were a disciple of Buddhism, and the officials would no longer pursue your past.

He was a new arrival here and was not familiar with the place. Leng Fengye didn't know where Wenshu Monastery was, so he wanted to find a monk to ask for directions so as not to make unnecessary trips. Besides, he hadn't eaten for two days and was tired and tired. Hungry and exhausted, I could only sit on the roadside and rest.

At this time, he heard footsteps in the distance. He followed the sound and saw a monk walking on the narrow path. Leng Fengye stood up with difficulty. After taking a few steps, he was stunned when he saw that this was not the monk who was looking for him. A poor monk asking for alms?

Why did this dirty monk get ahead of me again? Maybe he was a monk from Mount Wutai.

Without any further thought, Leng Fengye hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"Teacher, please give me some directions as to where to go to Wenshu Monastery."

The old monk heard someone calling him, looked back, and said with a smile:

"Little donor, we are really destined, but I have already spent all the money you gave me, so please give more to the poor monk."

After hearing this, Leng Fengye frowned and said:

"To be honest, I lost my money and sold all my clothes. Now I have nothing. I came to see Elder Daoyue, a monk who is a monk. Master, do you know?"

When the dirty monk heard this, he immediately squinted his eyes, looked Leng Fengye up and down, as if they had never met before, and asked again:

"Who are you looking for?"

Leng Fengye replied patiently:

"The person I'm looking for is Elder Daoyue of Wenshu Monastery."

The dirty monk heard this and said:

"Little donor, you have found the right one, Elder Daoyong. He is my junior brother. What do you have to do with him?"

So Leng Fengye told the dirty monk the truth, saying that he was looking for Elder Daoyue to learn martial arts from his master.

When the monk heard this, he immediately laughed and said:

"Bah, that Yuemu is blind, and he is even crazier than me. If you want to become a monk, you can find him."

Naturally, Leng Fengye couldn't believe what the dirty monk said. The elder recommended by Master Xie Tianji would not be like this.

At this time the monk said:

"I have traveled all over Mount Wutai and still don't know about him. If you don't believe me, I will take you to see him."

So, the great monk staggered forward, and Leng Fengye followed closely behind. They turned around an oak forest and saw a house in front of the hill. The monk said again:

"Did you see it? That's where old man Daoyue lives. As for whether I see him or not, I don't care. However, the donor will give us some more money. After walking such a long way, my stomach is empty again. .”

Leng Fengye was so hungry that he was sweating. There was no money left for him, so he had to say:

"I'm really sorry. I really don't have any money at the moment, Xiaosheng. I will give you twice as much in the future. Thank you Master for showing me the way."

"Okay, a gentleman's words are hard to follow. You can keep your word. I'll be waiting for you." After the great monk finished speaking, he turned and headed towards the mountain.

Leng Fengye endured his hunger and thirst and arduously climbed up a hillside and came to the old temple gate. He saw a small corner door on the right, three stone steps, and a five-foot-high blue brick wall around it.

I walked in carefully and saw five rooms in the courtyard, several tall pine trees, the door was closed, and there was no horizontal plaque on it.

Where is this?

Why is there no sound at all?

So Leng Fengye stepped forward and knocked gently on the door.

After a while, I heard the voice calling Buddha from inside:

"Amitabha, who is so good?"

After hearing this, Leng Fengye hurriedly shouted:

"Master, it's me."

Immediately, the door opened, and what came out was a young monk. He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a bald head and a round head. He was wearing a green cloth monk's robe, and his eyes were black and bright, and they looked messy. Turn, he looked at Leng Fengye for a long time before asking:

"Donor, what are you doing here?"

"Excuse me, little master, is this Wenshu Monastery?" Leng Fengye asked with a salute.

The young monk heard this and immediately replied:

"Oh, Wenshu Monastery is the big temple in front. Although this place is also under the jurisdiction of Wenshu Monastery, it is not

Welcome outsiders. "

After the young monk finished speaking, he turned around and went into the house. Ma Qingfeng quickly asked:

"Little Master, please excuse me. Is Elder Daoyue here? Please let me know. I want to see him."

When the young monk heard this, he looked for Elder Daoyue and said with an ah:

"You don't want to think about it. How can our abbot receive strangers casually? Go to the main hall in front. There is a deacon and monk there. Talk to him in advance."

As the little monk said, he was about to close the door and go back into the room. Leng Fengye hurriedly begged:

"I came here to see Elder Daoyue because of someone's recommendation. I went through all kinds of hardships and endured hunger before I got to Mount Wutai. Little Master, please be merciful and merciful. Give me a report and tell me that there is a man named Xie Tianji. , introduced me."

After hearing this, the young monk looked at Leng Fengye's clothes and then said:

"Okay, then just wait here."

With that said, as soon as the door slammed shut, the young monk entered the room again.

This time, Leng Fengye was waiting outside the door happily, but an hour passed and the door was still not open.

At this time, Leng Fengye was so hungry that he could hardly stand. There were golden flowers in front of his eyes and his throat was so dry that he had to sit down against a pillar in front of the door.

After another half an hour, the door finally opened again, and the same young monk came out. Leng Fengye thought he was going to let him in, so he quickly stood up and asked:

"How about master meeting me?"

When the young monk heard this, he said disapprovingly:

"I went into the house to do other important things, and I have long forgotten about you. In fact, it doesn't matter if you tell him. Elder Dao Yue, it is impossible for him to receive you. I see where you are coming from. Come back quickly. Where to go."

Leng Fengye could only plead again:

"Little master, little master, please do a good deed and report to Elder Daoyue for me. I will definitely repay you in the future."

The young monk said helplessly:

"If I disturb the abbot now, I will be punished. Wait until I go in and take a look. If I have a chance, I will let you know."

After watching the young monk enter the house, Leng Fengye sat down again and waited patiently. Seeing that the sun was about to set, the young monk came out and said:

"Donor, please go quickly. The abbot is doing Buddhist services today and has no time to see you. Please come back tomorrow."

"Then, when will tomorrow come?" Leng Fengye asked urgently.

The little monk said impatiently:

"After midnight, it counts as tomorrow. It's up to you. You can come anytime."

After the young monk finished speaking, he closed the door again and went in.

Leng Fengye didn't lose heart even after he hit a wall. He thought to himself, it's not that easy to become a disciple. He would be lucky if he could see the elder tomorrow.

Leng Fengye stood up and thought about finding some wild fruits in the woods to satisfy his hunger, but after walking a few steps, his body became limp and about to fall. He also thought that he didn't know what edible wild fruits were, and it would be even more troublesome if he ate poisonous ones. .

So he found a flat ground outside the courtyard wall and lay down. It was a very difficult night. Not only was he unable to sleep because of his hunger, but he was also covered in mosquito bites, so he had to sit up and swat the mosquitoes.

After finally staying up until dawn, Leng Fengye wanted to get up and knock on the door, but he was afraid that the elder would get up late and affect others' rest.

After waiting for breakfast, he stood up and prepared to go in, but he felt dizzy again and was suddenly disturbed.
