Xiao Han [Shooting Condor]

Under the persecution of Tianshu, Xie Yao had to practice on time every day, and he never slacked off.Sometimes when he was really tired, he would argue with Tianshu: "Why do I practice so diligently? I don't want to be the best in martial arts, but I just want to protect myself. When I learn Yiyang Finger, don't force me to do it." gone."

Tianshu knew that Xie Yaosheng was loose, and at first he argued with him that one mountain is higher than another, but after listening to this kind of talk for a long time, he no longer paid attention to it.

Time passed by, and unknowingly, Xie Yao had been there for nearly two years. Xie Yao was working hard on the mountain, chopping firewood, carrying water and cooking, and never missed anything.But Master Yideng didn't show the slightest intention to teach him Yiyang Finger. As time passed, Xie Yao's patience gradually faded.

Today, he was chopping firewood bored, counting with a knife in his hand: "180 one, 180 two, 180 three..."

"Brother Yao, brother Yao!" A girl ran up not far away, wearing a pink skirt, holding two lively fish in her hands.

Xie Yao looked up and saw her, looked around hurriedly, stood up and pulled her to the corner, and said in a low voice: "A Yuan, why did you sneak up the mountain? Does your father know?"

This little girl is He Yuanjun. Ever since she knew that Xie Yao lived on this mountain, she often came to play with Xie Yao. After all, He Yuanjun is still a lively little girl, and Xie Yao often teased her. Keep it all for her, and He Yuanjun likes this brother more and more after coming and going.But what Wu Santong hates the most is that a strange man came into contact with He Yuanjun and was discovered several times.After all, Xie Yao was here to study, and he didn't dare to make Wu Santong really anxious, so when He Yuanjun came to the door again, he avoided seeing him.

He Yuanjun stomped his feet and muttered: "Brother Yao, don't mention my adoptive father, he always won't let me go out." Before Xie Yao could answer, He Yuanjun taught Xie Yao the two fish, and said with a smile: "I When you went up the mountain, Uncle Jiang asked me to bring you two fish!"

Xie Yao smiled slightly, but didn't say anything else, and immediately led He Yuanjun to the back mountain, gathered firewood to make a fire, roasted two fish, and sat under a tree to enjoy the shade.

He Yuanjun took a bite of the fish, only to feel that it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and he couldn't help laughing: "Brother Yao, your grilled fish is the best."

Xie Yao picked a weed in his mouth, picked his teeth and said, "You ghost girl, I'll tell you Uncle Jiang when I go down the mountain later, if you steal two fish from him, I'll catch them and return them to him tomorrow."

Seeing that Xie Yao saw through it, He Yuanjun stuck out his tongue: "Nothing can be hidden from you. I also saw that vegetables and tofu are eaten every day on the mountain, so I brought it for you."

Although the words were childish, Xie Yao couldn't help feeling warm, and his voice softened a bit: "If you need my help in the future, just come to me."

He Yuanjun blinked and said: "I live a good life every day, I have food and clothing, what else do I need your help with, Brother Yao?"

Xie Yao couldn't help but feel a little more emotional when he heard this. He thought so too before, but with the impermanence of the world, there are some things that he has to resist.Xie Yao sighed: "When you are young, you don't know how to feel sad. When you grow up, if you encounter trouble, I will help you if I can."

He Yuanjun was wondering why Xie Yao changed his tone, and suddenly he heard a shout from a distance: "Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor!"

Xie Yao patted He Yuanjun, stood up and said, "Go back quickly, Wu Yuan is here."

He Yuanjun nodded and bid farewell to Xie Yao in a hurry.As soon as she left on her front foot, Wu Yuan came over on her back foot. This Wu Yuan was the little novice who led Xie Yao into the temple. He had the best relationship with Xie Yao.

Xie Yao clapped his hands, stepped forward and asked, "I've finished chopping the firewood, and I've also carried the water."

"No, no, it's not this." Wu Yuan quickly waved his hands and said, "Master invited you to the meditation room, he said he has something to tell you... Hey, you're running too fast too!"

Xie Yao couldn't help but be overjoyed before he finished speaking. Master Yideng must have observed secretly during the past six months and felt that he could practice Yiyang Finger!

His feet were like the wind, and within a short while he came to the meditation room. He settled down and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, but the door suddenly opened with a "squeak" and Master Yideng sat cross-legged in the middle, with a pair of eyes behind him. Huge "Zen" character.

Xie Yao bowed and bowed: "Junior Xie Yao, come to see me." After saying that, he stepped into the room, and the scent of sandalwood immediately filled his nose.

"You came."

"Yes."

Master Yideng opened his eyes and stared at Xie Yao's eyes motionlessly, as if he wanted to see something.Xie Yao started to feel uncomfortable being stared at by him, but after a while, he thought to himself that firstly, he hadn't done anything wrong, and secondly, he hadn't taken money from his bad conscience, so what's there to be afraid of?Immediately, he stared openly at Master Yideng, as if he wanted to see something from his vicissitudes of eyes.

The two of them looked at each other for nearly half an hour before Master Yideng rolled his eyes and smiled and said, "You have listened to the Buddha Dharma countless times in the past two years, but do you still remember what I said last time?"

Xie Yao has never dared to take it lightly since he came here. Every time Master Yideng explained the Dharma, he took notes beside him, so this time he said without thinking: "Nine-pin lotus platform is a piece of pure land in Amitabha Buddha. Nine grades are up and up, upper middle, upper and lower, middle upper, middle middle, middle lower, lower upper, lower middle, lower lower, nine categories."

"What is nine knots?"

Xie Yao thought for a while, and backed up word by word: "Love knot, hate knot, slow knot, ignorance knot, doubt knot, perception knot, attachment knot, stinginess knot, jealousy knot. Knot means bondage. It refers to all sentient beings. Therefore, they are delusional, create all kinds of karma, and are bound by all kinds of suffering. They circulate in the three realms and cannot escape. Therefore, clouds form."

He asked himself that this answer was definitely a perfect score, but Master Yideng didn't say any words of praise, but instead asked: "You said it word for word, but have you ever really understood the meaning of these words?"

Xie Yao was at a loss for words, and took a long time to reply: "The junior is not talented, and it would take a lot of time to memorize it. The Dharma is as deep as the sea, and I can't comprehend it."

Upon hearing the words, Master Yideng sighed, and said, "It's really troublesome for you to stay and work in our temple for the past two years."

Xie Yao didn't know what was going on, so he raised his head and asked, "Why did the master say that? The junior is willing to stay, so why bother?"

Master Yideng glanced at him, raised his sleeve and waved, the door was opened again with a "squeak", and the light shone into the meditation room, Xie Yao couldn't help squinting his eyes.Looking at the empty gate, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Wu Yuan, give Lord Xie some yellow and white things as wages for the past two years." Master Yideng said, and said to Xie Yao: "Go down the mountain."

"Master... what did you say?" Xie Yao took two steps forward in disbelief, and immediately understood.He was willing to commit himself here for two years, all he wanted was to be able to defend against the White Camel Villa's tricks, but he never expected... what he got in exchange was Master Yideng's expulsion.

Xie Yao was angry, regretful, and resigned at first...Thousands of emotions turned into relief after a lot of twists and turns.Master Yideng had no relatives or reason with him, so he kindly took him in for two years, so what could he complain about?It's too late to be grateful.It is estimated that the two years of Buddhist influence may not be completely useless to him, at least he can quickly calm down and accept it, and he is no longer as reckless and irritable as a teenager.

Wu Yuan had already brought the money bag over at this time, put both hands in front of Xie Yao, and said, "Thank you benefactor, just take it."

Xie Yao acted as if he had never heard of it, he just looked at Master Yideng and said, "Thank you for the two years of teaching, Master, even if you can't learn fingering, Xie Yao will still be grateful."

Master Yideng seemed to know what he was thinking, and took off a string of rosary beads from his wrist, handed them to Xie Yao, and said, "If you encounter difficulties, bring this string of rosary beads and take refuge in my Buddha."

Xie Yao heard that he wanted to make himself a monk again, but in the end he was unwilling to obey him. He took the rosary beads with both hands, bowed to Master Yideng, said his farewell, turned around and walked out of the meditation room with his head held high.

Master Yideng looked at his back and shook his head with a sigh, clasped his hands together and said, "Nine ranks of lotus platform, nine dwellings for living beings, nine merit frames, nine come to enlighten the Dharma. The essence of heaven, the essence of earth, the essence of gold, and the essence of water." Essence, the essence of wood, the essence of fire, the essence of the sun, the essence of the moon, the essence of the stars, Zhanla harvests the essence, 36 breaths..."

When Xie Yao heard these nonsense words, he knew that Master Yideng was reciting those inexplicable scriptures again, and he would have taken notes in the usual way, but he decided to leave, so he didn't need to delve into these half-understood things.

He went back to the meditation room, packed his clothes, took the bible, and went down the mountain without saying a word.When they met Zhu Ziliu and others on the way, they just hugged their fists and said goodbye in a hurry, without further words.

Tianshu kept scolding him for being useless, but when he heard that Master Yideng gave him money and told him to pack up and leave, he stopped talking.Perhaps Master Yideng had good intentions, but in the eyes of Xie Yao and Tianshu, Xie Yao was a servant who came to do odd jobs for them in the past two years. Because of poor work, he was resigned by his employer, and no one would feel good about it.

Tianshu heard these words and didn't answer for a long time, Xie Yao went down to the mountain and looked at the mountain peak, feeling extremely melancholy.

He asked: "Tianshu, if you want to beat and scold, just do it."

Hearing his downcast tone, Tian Shu also knew that he was unhappy, so he said: "Whatever I beat you for, I don't blame you for this." He paused, then suddenly said: "Bah, Yiyang means nothing. We don't care about anything!"

Xie Yao gave him a weird look, thinking he was crazy.

Tianshu said coldly: "The Dali Duan family's most exquisite fingering is not his Yiyang finger." Tianshu said, grabbing Xie Yao's lapel, dragging him to the south, saying: "Let's go! Let's go to Dali Tianlong Temple!"
