Poor monks do not break the precepts

Sitting by the couch for half a day, from wiping sweat with a silk handkerchief to feeding soup with a small spoon, even such small things as tucking in the quilt were all done by Xu Sheng himself.Xin Lizhong came to inquire about his condition several times, and found that Xu Sheng took care of him in every possible way. Thinking about his past tone and behavior, he felt more and more rude and shameless.

In the afternoon when Xin Li entered the house, he saw that Xu Sheng was still motionless, it had been half a day without water or rice.Maybe it's because of guilt, the more Xu Sheng takes care of him, the more unhappy Xin Li feels, and thinking about what he said in the Daxiong Palace in the morning, he clearly blamed Xu Sheng's master and apprentice, and felt that he was not a thing.

"Master Xusheng, let me replace you." Xinli blushed, politely and respectfully said: "There are some pasta prepared in the dining room, master go eat some and I will take care of it here."

Xin Li's attitude changed suddenly, which made Xu Sheng very surprised, "No need, it's okay for me to go again after the benefactor Huai wakes up."

The hand that was holding Xu Sheng suddenly loosened gradually, Huai Mingmo slowly opened his eyes, and weakly shook the wrist under his palm, "You go and eat, it will be fine with Xin Li taking care of it." Huai Mingmo was fascinated I was confused for a long time, but most of the time my mind was clear, but my eyelids were so heavy that I still couldn't open them.

Xu Sheng glanced at the leaking clock in the corner of the room, stood up but his feet were weak, thanks to his quick reaction to support the edge of the couch, he did not fall on Huai Mingmo, "It's okay, my feet are numb after sitting for a long time. It's about time, I'm going to boil your last night's medicine."

Seeing Xu Sheng's figure disappearing behind the screen, Xinli somehow felt so guilty that his eyes almost turned red, and said: "Pavilion Master...I..."

Huai Mingmo sat up slowly with the strength of Xinli's support, patted the back of Xinli's hand, and said with a light smile: "The bearing of a monk will not argue with you." Zheng Fengnian and Ji Deen did not appear, so he asked more, "He What about the two?"

"Master Biao said that many people are here to bother you, and you are causing trouble for Master Xu Sheng, so you went to the temple to wait for news. Brother Zheng received a letter about the leather of the fake sword manual, so he went to Liu County to find Jia. Sir, I've been away for a while, and I think I'll be back soon." Xinli looked back for a long time, then said in a low voice, "The pavilion master hasn't been ill for many years, what happened yesterday?"

"Monk Xusheng was attacked by someone, and I happened to meet him. I fought against him in the rain for a long time, and I didn't pay attention to the cold air entering my body."

Xinli was surprised and said: "Master Xusheng was plotted again?" After a pause, he asked out of concern: "Do you want to find a secret guard for protection?"

Huai Mingmo hesitated for a long time, shook his head and said: "No, you are not allowed to find someone to monitor Monk Xu Sheng."

Xin Li was too clear about what Huai Mingmo was thinking, and frowned slightly, "Has the pavilion master confirmed the identity of the incense thief?"

"No." Huai Mingmo replied decisively. His complexion was as pale as a silver millet in serious illness, but he couldn't hide the majesty of the pavilion master. He slowly expressed his decision after thinking about it all night, "You tell Xuanji Pavilion to stop investigating the incense robbers. , All the things that have been found in the past are sealed up. Since Mr. Jia knows the source of the news of framing the Fragrant Pirates and the Hidden World Villa at that time, and started to investigate from that clue, I just want to know who really wanted to harm the Ji family. "

"Yes, this subordinate knows." Xinli poured a glass of water for Huai Mingmo to moisten his throat, covered his mouth and snickered as Huai Mingmo hesitated to speak, and said in a low voice: "I will send my cronies to secretly investigate Xu Sheng As for the incense thief, as for the results of the investigation, apart from him and the pavilion master, I guarantee that no third person will know."

Huai Mingmo rinsed the bitter taste in his mouth with clear water. Hearing Xin Li's narrow tone, he wished he could kick him twice, but he couldn't use his strength, "You are not human anymore?"

"It depends on the intention of the pavilion master." Xinli wrapped Huai Mingmo with a quilt, and whispered: "Why is the pavilion master so convinced that Monk Xusheng is an incense thief?"

"I don't know, so I want to know." Huai Mingmo raised his hand to stop Xin Li from continuing, his eyes swept across the screen.

It didn't take long before a bald head appeared from behind the screen, and Zigui held a food plate in his hand, which contained a bowl of porridge and two plates of appetizers, which Zigui made according to the note Xu Sheng wrote early in the morning.Zigui put the food plate on the round stool, then took out the note in his sleeve and looked at it carefully.

Curious about what was written on the paper, Xin Li craned his neck to take a peek, and said with emotion: "Master Xu Sheng is really thoughtful in his work."

"Of course, my master can take care of people."

When Zigui was proud, he suddenly felt a hand reaching out from behind him, and when he turned his head to look at the person with a good eye, the note in his hand had been snatched away.Xu Sheng glanced at the note roughly, and it was true that Zigui had finished everything, without giving anyone a break, he pulled out a note full of elegant lowercase letters from his sleeve and put it in Zigui's hand.

"Master Xusheng's actions are too cruel." Xinli looked at Zigui's dejected back, and felt sympathetic.

Xu Sheng glanced at Xin Li and smiled softly. He had just sat on the side of the couch, before he could speak, Huai Mingmo seemed to understand, "It's much better, take a few doses of medicine, and cultivate for three to five days. It's fine." Xu Sheng touched the porcelain bowl of porridge with his fingertips, "Eat a few mouthfuls while it's still warm, and it will hurt your stomach if it's cold for a long time."

Huai Mingmo woke up after sleeping for a long time, and now he is very energetic. He ate some porridge to fill his stomach, and he became more energetic, so he refused to lie on the couch to rest. The bed moved around wantonly, so I chose a compromise method, lying on the soft couch and reading travel notes to pass the time.

Buddhism is a pure place, but these few days Wuwangya is not quiet at all, the distinguished guests in the temple suddenly became seriously ill, and the monks of the Xu generation almost came here several times in turn.As soon as Xu Dao was sent away, the door of the withered grass hut was not yet closed, Xu Sheng smelled a fragrance different from that of practicing in the temple.

"Senior brother, please come back to the room." Xu Sheng said with a cold smile.

"Is the benefactor better?" Xu Ji seemed to keep a distance on purpose.

"It's much better, senior brother can tell by himself." Xu Sheng led the way, occasionally turning back with cold eyes like a bird of prey staring at its prey.

Xu Ji met those dark eyes that looked like ancient wells, he ignored the line and didn't dare to look at each other, he smiled awkwardly: "That's good."

After a few words of conversation, the two walked into the bedroom one after the other.Even if the brothers of the same school are not close, they are not unfamiliar. This very strange scene was just seen by Ji Deen and Zheng Fengnian who were resting in the tea room. talk.

Xu Ji is dull by nature and has a relatively distant relationship with the monks in the temple. He didn't plan to come, but seeing that all his brothers and even Master Kujie have come to Wuwangya, it is really unreasonable for him not to visit.

Xu Sheng brought Xu Ji into the bedroom, but he himself didn't stay there for a moment, moved a round stool to the tea room, sat beside Luo Han's bed, had a drinking order with Ji Deen, guessing poetry riddles, it was very lively.Of course, the monks couldn't break the precepts, so they used tea instead of wine to accompany them. It was cheaper for Ji Deen and Zheng Fengnian to taste the good wine in the cottage, but they were so drunk that they didn't taste it.

"You monk is so stingy, you won't even let me take a sip of Zui Sheng Meng Shi." Ji Deen's cheeks were slightly flushed, slightly drunk, and he said with some openness: "To be honest, Zui Sheng Meng Shi is just a cover."

Xu Sheng smiled and helped Ji Deen fill up the wine, jokingly said: "It's fine if you spoil the wine I have next to you, you can't be drunk, let alone the time to lift the lid."

"Where is the waste?" Ji Deen swallowed a glass with his head up, and overturned the glass, but there was no drop of wine in the glass, "You have to invite me to drink like this next time."

"Master Xu Sheng, don't listen to Young Master Biao's nonsense after drinking." Zheng Fengnian seldom drinks alcohol, but when encountering such good wine, it is rare to drink two more glasses.

"The second youngest of Ji's family came to my withered thatched cottage to eat and drink less? It's not bad this time to be drunk and crazy."

The gold-plated and hollowed-out silver incense balls on the curtain of the drapery jingled, and before anyone could enter behind the curtain, a soft laughter was heard first: "Fortunately, you kept it for him, and if it will reach my uncle's ears, you may be punished for it." What about him." Huai Mingmo's complexion was much better than the previous few days, and his speech was still soft and gentle, but it was different from the weakness of the previous two days.

When Zheng Fengnian saw Huai Mingmo come in, he immediately got up and gave way, "Everyone in the world knows the mastery of a wonderful monk, but no one pays attention to his medical skills. I don't know if it's because the world's eyes are stupid, or Master Xu Sheng hides his subtleties."

"That's right." Ji Deen stared straight at Huai Mingmo, and smirked, "Mingmo's appearance that day may not be able to heal so quickly if he were taken care of by the medicine king."

Xu Sheng was neither arrogant nor happy, he waved his hands flatly, and said modestly: "Nonsense praise, I dare not be a poor monk."

"You deserve it." Xinli's attitude towards Xu Sheng is getting better and better now, and regardless of whether Xu Sheng is a incense thief or not, Xu Sheng has taken care of Huai Mingmo for many days, and he will remember it from the bottom of his heart. The monk is still the person on the cusp of his own pavilion master.

"Did Master Xuji send you out of the house?" Huai Mingmo wanted to say something, so he deliberately poured wine into Ji Deen's cup until he passed out, and asked Xinli for no reason if he had closed the gate of the withered grass hut. He pondered for a while and said softly : "How will the monks in Shaolin Temple be punished if they violate the precepts?"

"It depends on the rules that are broken."

"Will you be expelled from the division?"

Xu Sheng responded indifferently: "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately. Master made a mistake ten years ago, and voluntarily trapped in the cliff of no return for the rest of his life."

Zheng Fengnian's eyes wandered between the two, not knowing what the answer was, but looking at the indifferent appearance of the two, it seemed that he knew what the other was thinking.Huai Mingmo sighed sadly, and said with a smile: "I am the one who is rude to ask more about Shaolin's internal affairs."

"Crossing one's own body to cross the Buddha, but it is difficult to cross the Buddha if the heart does not understand." Xu Sheng took out the medicine box from the small cabinet next to the low couch, melted a pill and gave it to Ji Deen, and said slowly: "Everyone has good luck in the dust, you don't need to take it." It’s such a pity. The precepts are all broken, if he can be enlightened, he will not be in vain in the world of mortals, and he will be fully enlightened, that is his karma.”

After hearing some words, Zheng Fengnian and Xinli stared at each other confusedly, winked at each other for a while, and shook their heads again.After hearing this, Wei Huai Mingmo laughed lightly, and said calmly, "It's me who got into a dead end and couldn't understand the truth. What about you? Wuwang?"

"No arrogance." Xu Sheng replied decisively.

The corners of Huai Mingmo's mouth twitched in distress, and his lips moved slightly, "I don't dare to be rash."

Those who heard this said looked at each other in blank dismay, either they were really confused, or they were confused.Xin Li sighed deeply in his heart, supported Huai Mingmo who was smiling like before, and said with a smile: "My lord is going to be tired, now go back to sleep for a while?"

Zheng Fengnian saw that Huai Mingmo's gait was unsteady, so he immediately supported the other end of him, unable to free his hand, he had to bow his head slightly and nodded, "Master Xusheng Haihan, we are being rude."

"Help your young master back to your room to rest." Xu Sheng got up on the stool, and said lightly: "It's already this time, and I don't know how the stewed medicinal food that Zigui looked at is going well. I'll go to the small kitchen to have a look, and make some small dishes by the way , you will stay and have dinner tonight before going back."

There shouldn't be meat in the temple, but at the critical moment, Huai Mingmo needs medicinal food to replenish his body, Xu Sheng secretly prescribed the food for Xin Li, and they thought of ways to get wild game.Xinli and Zheng Fengnian knew each other well, and they would go to the back mountain to clean up the dirt before returning.Zigui was brought back to the temple by Xu Sheng when he was a baby. He grew up in the temple. He has never encountered meat, smelled this tempting smell, and was greedy for many days in the small kitchen. Thanks to his determination Strong enough, did not secretly break the precept.

Early the next morning, Huai Mingmo resigned from Xu Sheng and went back to the temple to recuperate.The silence after laughter and laughter often makes people feel even more lonely. The thatched cottage never accepts people to stay overnight. After spending several days together, suddenly the building is empty, and the empty life adds a ray of reluctance, and I am not used to it after many days.
