There are towering and distant mountains, many mountains and mountains, and a bright yellow courtyard stands between the green peaks. There are three courtyards in front and back, and monks in twos and threes line up and bow their heads and walk through the long corridor.A bell sounded from far away, Huang Zhong Da Lu's voice was long and distant, it swayed leisurely into the deep mountains, circled twice and then turned into the clouds in the sky.

The eaves are like wings, pointing to the sky.A white pigeon squatted in the corner of the room, combing its feathers calmly with its beak.

There is a big banyan tree in the yard, its branches are stretched out lushly and cast a lot of shade.In the early autumn weather, the corners of the leaves are a little yellow, and when the wind blows, many leaves float down leisurely.It fell to the ground, and there were several piles in twos and threes on the bluestone bricks.

The little monk was wearing a dusty cassock, holding a big broom that was one person tall, and casually fiddled with the fallen leaves on the ground that he couldn't finish sweeping.

It was still early, and there was morning mist covering the mountains, watching faintly from the horizon, the little monk was leaning on a big broom sleepily, wanting to sleep but daring not to sleep.

"Aye, the master asked you to go to the front yard for morning class. Hurry up, the leaves in the yard haven't been swept yet." An older monk bared his head and shouted at the corner of the yard, and then He turned a corner and hurried away.

"Oh, just come." The little monk shook his head, woke up and dozed off, and agreed.Sweeping the big broom across the ground, with a bit of inner strength, I saw the broom blowing a gust of wind and neatly piled the fallen leaves on the ground to the roots of the trees.

The little monk pressed the leaves with a broom, and hurriedly ran to the front yard. Unconsciously, with a little wind, he tiptoed, and flew across the courtyard and flew up the steps.

"Brother Ye, slow down! The master is going to tell you again!" A little novice monk held the wooden fish like an old man, and was startled by Ji Ye who suddenly jumped out, and jumped up anxiously to pretend to be a tiger.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The little monk jumped out, like a sudden thunderstorm in the entire silent temple, causing a lot of injustice.

A few times into the courtyard of the temple, the teenagers who flew by with a gust of wind suddenly became lively, jumping up and down for a while, jumping up and down all the way.Ji Ye finally knelt down on the soft cushion in a well-behaved manner, facing the majestic and tall Buddha statue above, lowered his head, and repeated the Heart Sutra in his mouth.

"Namo Amitabha, Namo Amitabha, what should I do if I'm hungry? Then what should I do if I'm hungry?" After talking about this, the feeling changed. Ji Ye's legs felt numb while kneeling, and his stomach could not help but growl several times.He rubbed his hungry stomach, there was no steamed bun in the kitchen last night, and a bowl of porridge made him dizzy from hunger.

Looking at the old monk kneeling upright, wearing a gray cassock, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his right hand and a wooden fish mallet in his left.The wooden fish in his hand knocked, and he muttered a sentence, and fiddled with the Buddhist beads in his hand, the rhythm was exactly the same.

As soon as Ji Ye raised his head, he happened to see the sharp eyes of the old monk, screamed in his heart, and thought to himself, it's over.It is estimated that he will be punished by the elders of the Precepts Academy again.It’s okay to beat him with a few boards, and it’s okay to punish him for cleaning the more than 1000 steps up the mountain. Don’t, don’t punish him for not eating!

"Ji Ye!" The old monk sitting at the top was so annoyed when he heard a nonsense word suddenly mixed into the Buddhist scriptures. After a closer look, it turned out to be the black sheep. All stopped.

As expected, Ji Ye thought, and he didn't care, anyway, he was already an old fritter.

Among the young monks around him, Ji Ye's thin and tall figure was particularly conspicuous. Even if he shrank himself as much as possible, he suddenly became the most conspicuous one in the crowd.

The other young novice monks all sat upright, watching their mouths with their eyes and their hearts with their mouths.With a accustomed expression, he didn't care about this farce at all.

"Ji Ye, tell me about you. People of the same generation as you have already had ring scars and entered various halls and courtyards. You are the only one who is still a sweeping monk!" The old monk was heartbroken. "If you don't take classes seriously and disrespect the Buddha, you can accept the punishment!"

"Disciple admits punishment!" Ji Ye's attitude of admitting mistakes has always been very good, nodding his head and lowering his eyebrows.

"You go down the mountain!" The old monk sighed, finally opened his mouth and waved his hands as if he had no other choice.

"Hey." Ji Ye replied that he was used to it, and this time he swept a thousand steps without any new ideas.He can remember how many cracks there are on the steps of each floor.

But obviously, Ji Ye miscalculated the degree of anger of the master, this time the matter is not so easy to solve.

"Pack up your things and go down the mountain, Shaolin Temple can't accommodate you anymore." The old monk knocked on the wooden fish twice, as if sighing and feeling helpless.

"Ah?" Ji Ye was baffled by this move. "You don't need to pack your luggage for sweeping the steps, just let me have breakfast."

"You have an elm head! My teacher said, let you go down the mountain to practice, don't stay in Shaolin Temple to disturb the purity of my Buddhism." The old monk was so angry by Ji Ye that he shouted outside, "Ji Li! I'll throw Ji Ye out!"

The old monk shouted, and a big monk with a round waist and thick arms came in outside, grabbed Ji Ye's collar and walked out. Ji Ye kicked his legs and shouted, "Hey! Master, you can't be so heartless. , I have been with you for 16 years, if I leave, who will sweep the leaves in the yard, can you drink the porridge in the dining room?..."

The old monk was so angry that he coughed twice and almost couldn't catch his breath.It's okay if Ji Ye doesn't say anything, but when he thinks of him, he gets angry. This kid has been raised in the Buddhist Temple for more than ten years. He has such an escaped temperament, and he has never lived in peace. penalty.Always brave enough to admit his mistakes, but also determined not to change, he was so angry that he smashed the wooden fish that he had treasured for many years. Not only did he just replace it with a new one, it probably won't be long.

The old monk thought about it.It's better to send this kid down the mountain and let him harm other people.If you can harm a devil, it is equivalent to changing a sinner, and maybe you will have immeasurable merit.

In the end, Ji Ye was thrown out of the mountain gate. The stupid Ji Li gave him a bag, which contained only a change of cassock and a string of Buddhist beads. He didn't even give him two of the steamed buns he steamed in the morning!It's really tolerable or unbearable, but Ji Ye has no choice but to pack up his bags and wave his hands at the mountain gate to see off his brothers.

Alas, these senior brothers usually looked at him with all kinds of dislikes, but when he really left, they still couldn't bear it, so they actually came to see him off in groups at the mountain gate.

But soon, Ji Ye woke up from the illusion of such a beautiful brother and friend.

"Oh, this troublemaker is finally gone, if it wasn't for him, every morning class would be over sooner!" Junior Brother A felt relieved, and accidentally spoke a little louder.

"Yeah, yeah. Just wandering around in the yard every day, doing nothing. It's been more than ten years and I don't even have any ring scars. It's really shameful!" Brother B next to him echoed.

"Isn't that right? Which of the senior brothers of Ji's generation is already a master who can be his own. He is the only one who is still staying in Songshan to eat and wait to die. Last time he wrote the Heart Sutra silently and wanted him to borrow me to copy it. He didn't have mine yet. A lot!" Junior brother C, who was deeply persecuted, complained and despised him.

There are more than one people in Shaolin Temple who have such a mood. Before Ji Ye had gone far, they held a farewell party and held a complaint meeting at the same time, and lamented loudly to Ji Ye's back that this broken pot of soup The rat droppings are finally cleared out of the pure soup team.

Hearing so many accusations, Ji Ye held back his stagger, looked back at Ji Li, and complained, "Do you think I'm really so unpopular?"

"Really!" Ji Li thought for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth in accordance with the principle of monks not to tell lies.

Ji Ye rolled his eyes and threw the burden on his back, and he knew that he shouldn't ask this wood any more.Forget it, just go down the mountain.He didn't believe that with his good looks, he couldn't find a job as a cook? !

In the meditation room at the innermost part of the bright yellow courtyard, Master Xudu sat on the cattail grass and sighed at the big yellow Zen disciple on the wall.The old monk who was inserting incense beside him had white beard and hair, heard him sigh, and asked, "Why? Do you regret it?"

"Brother Abbot, you said I did this, right?" Master Xu Du thought of Ji Ye, feeling a little regretful in his heart.After all, that is the child I have raised for 16 years. Although he is a bit naughty on weekdays, his nature is not bad, and the porridge he cooks is also delicious.

"Junior Brother, this should be Ah Ye's situation, so don't worry about it. He has nothing to do with the world, and it's useless to stay in the temple." The abbot of Shaolin Temple, who was respected by outsiders as Master Xu Ling, bowed to the Buddha statue. "Besides, he's not young anymore, and he's talented. Although he doesn't know much about Buddhism, he's still good at martial arts. Even if he goes down the mountain, he won't be in any danger."

"Having said that, after Aye left, I always felt empty in my heart, as if something was missing." Master Xu Du twirled the beads around.

"If you want to say less, I'm afraid that you have to quit the greedy word of appetite." The abbot glanced at Xu Du, and then stepped out of the meditation room.

It was only then that Xu Du realized that the senior brother envied him for having an apprentice who could cook, and sent him down the mountain if he couldn't take it away!be cheated……

Master Xudu is still stuck in the dilemma of whether to eat tofu or cabbage for lunch, and Ji Ye has already walked down the mountain.A thousand steps may be a bit far for Buddhists who go up the mountain to seek faith, but for a person like him who sweeps the steps all the year round, it is just the effort of two cups of tea.

With a bag on his back, he was a little dazed looking at this small town at the foot of the mountain.Although he lived on the mountain for 16 years and did a lot of relapses, he has never been down the mountain once. This is a bit strange to him, but also a bit exciting.

"Hey, ma'am, which one is the best restaurant in the town?" Ji Ye, who hadn't had breakfast, first thought of restaurants. He heard that there were many delicious foods that he couldn't eat in the restaurants down the mountain. I want to come and try it, but I can't miss it this time.

The 'auntie' who was stopped by Ji Ye casually turned around and found a girl who looked a little anxious. Hearing what Ji Ye said, she was immediately unhappy, and before turning around, she replied, "Who are you? Why do you look like you ate pig food?"

Ji Ye was choked for a moment and didn't know how to reply.But seeing the girl saw Ji Ye, she was astonished, and immediately changed her words, "Oh, my little master, you just came down from the mountain and don't understand the customs of this world. Come, my slave will show you the way."

While talking, this bold and unrestrained girl grabbed Ji Ye's hand and 'guided' him.

Ji Ye made a clever move, nodded with a smirk, "Thank you, thank you." He said and ran away in a hurry.

The girl still didn't give up, and chased after two steps, shouting: "Hey, little master, little master!"

Ji Ye wiped off a cold sweat, the folk customs at the foot of the mountain are also tough.I meditated two sentences in my heart, 'color.is.emptiness, emptiness.is.color', and sure enough, what the master said was right, this woman is not close.

Ji Ye, who saw the female benefactor for the first time, was terrified, and then chose to stay away from all the women.But he still broke the lust ring later, and it was only then that he realized that the lust ring is not only for women.

Ji Ye ran all the way, but he also found a restaurant.

The restaurant was built in a grand style, with big red wine streamers fluttering in the wind.A large "Lanye Building" was engraved on the plaque. Ji Ye felt that this hotel was very suitable for him, so he walked in without hesitation.

"Hey, guest officer, are you a top student or staying in a hotel?" As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by a waiter.

"Give me the best food and drink here." Ji Ye laughed, touched the back of his smooth head that reflected the light, and said immediately.

"Young master came out to beg for alms. Please come here. There is another place in our shop specially for Buddhist disciples to rest." Xiaoer understood when he saw Ji Ye was dressed in cassock with a bare head on his head. It came down from the mountain.

"No need, I came out to experience the sufferings of the mortal world. You just bring up the best wine and meat in your store." Ji Ye had an expression that if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell.It seems that he is not eating meat and drinking but has received the greatest punishment in the world, with a dignified appearance.

"This..." It was the first time Xiaoer heard the monk say that, he hesitated for a moment, and winked at his companion, asking him to invite the shopkeeper to take a look.While dealing with Ji Ye who doesn't follow the routine.

"I'm the eldest disciple of Master Xudu in Shaolin Temple. My Dharma name is Ji Ye. If you don't believe me, you can go up the mountain to inquire, and I'm sure there is no one in the whole temple who doesn't know me!" Ji Ye patted his chest and made a sign with a tiger skin. Anyway, that old man Ruthlessly kicked himself out, it's okay to use his name to cheat some food and drink.You can't starve to death.

Besides, he didn't tell a lie. In the whole temple, there might be some people who didn't know the abbot, but they definitely knew him!

Xiao Er really believed it. Looking at Ji Ye's expression, he said that the monks do not lie, and this master is still a big brother of Ji's generation from the top of Songshan Mountain. How could he lie.For a moment, he led Ji Ye to the inner hall in awe.

"Hahaha, this is the first time I've seen a monk drinking and eating meat. It's really strange. Why, little monk, you are not afraid that your Buddha will not recognize you after eating meat and drinking?" A voice suddenly sounded from the second floor, Ji Ye looked up and saw a man in a Taoist suit laughing at him, causing everyone in the store to gather their eyes, "The little monk dared to pretend to be a Shaolin Jizi generation, huh, this is not even a ring scar. There is no point, the counterfeit one is too unreal.”

"Heh, where are you from? A Taoist priest from Wudang?" Ji Ye retorted mercilessly.

"That's right, this Daoist is the No. 30 fourth-generation disciple of Wudang Master Zhang Xian. You have some knowledge." Speaking of history, the Daoist showed off, and he was actually a little more attractive than Ji Ye. point.

Ji Ye rolled his eyes, monks and Taoist priests have always been hostile, especially Shaolin and Wudang.I heard from the juniors who went down the mountain to buy things that the group of stinky Taoist priests in Wudang provoked things whenever they had nothing to do.

Ji Ye has always been a person who is not afraid of causing trouble, so he chopped off his foot, flew to the second floor, flipped over the barrier, and straightened the burden on his back, "So, you have to call me Shishuzu, I am several generations older. Come and call Master Uncle!"

"You!" The Taoist priest was startled by Ji Ye's nimble skill, and was trembling with anger when he directly recognized his relatives with his unreasonable words. He just wanted to refute a few words.He heard a man next to him come in, and made a long bow to Ji Ye, "Master Ji Ye, why are you here, and you couldn't greet him far away, what an offense!"

The waiter on the side was also stunned, and said to the man in a daze, "The shopkeeper..."

The person who came was unexpectedly young. Lanyelou is a big industry all over the country, and the mysterious shopkeeper behind this restaurant is actually such a young man, which is surprising.The important thing is that this young and promising shopkeeper also has a very good appearance.Fluttering in white clothes, long hair in a high bundle, face like a jade crown with pink lips, you can't take your eyes off of her.

All of a sudden, everyone in the restaurant gathered around the second floor.Not to mention a handsome and lovely little monk, there is also such a handsome son, many people want to come and join in the fun.

Ji Ye carefully looked up and down several times, he must have never seen this very good-looking man, so how did he recognize himself?Although he had some reservations in his heart, he still didn't show it on his face at all. He looked like a secluded eminent monk with an old god in his presence. The restaurant disturbed me."

"Master Ji Ye has crossed countless people, and I'm afraid he has forgotten someone Xiao." The young man smiled and cupped his hands at Ji Ye, but his voice was mixed with a little sadness and joy, and the inexplicable meaning made Ji Ye a little bit Dazed. "We have seen it before. You saved my life when you were in Shaolin Temple."

Ji Ye tried hard to recall, in his 16 years of life, besides sweeping the floor and cooking, has he ever done such a big thing? !Saving lives and helping the wounded... For such a great merit, the old man didn't reward himself with a steamed bun!impossible!

It's a pity that Ji Ye racked his brains and couldn't remember that he had saved this handsome young man who called himself Xiao.But who is Ji Ye!If you want to say thick-skinned, he calls it second, and no one dares to say first.He clasped his hands together and said, "Donor, you are too polite. Saving people from the world is my duty in Buddhism, so it's not worth mentioning."

"Master Ji Ye is right, it was someone Xiao who was rude." The handsome young man also learned the eleven rituals. "Master, please, don't bother with other irrelevant people."

"Who do you say is an irrelevant person!" The little Taoist priest on the side was not happy, and shouted at the young man surnamed Xiao.

"Ah Zuo, invite irrelevant people out and don't disturb Master Qingxiu." The handsome young man surnamed Xiao didn't even give the little Taoist a face, and directly ordered a word to the little second, and took Ji Ye's hand Just go inside.

Before Ji Ye could react, he was already grabbed by a pair of warm hands. The handsome young man surnamed Xiao smiled and pulled him inside.He also just felt as if the spring breeze was blowing in front of his eyes, and the flowers on the mountain were all blooming.He murmured inwardly that he was guilty, but he didn't let go of the hands that were holding each other.
