Leaves fall without flowers [Legend of Chu Liuxiang]

Nirvana means passing away, passing away, and receiving convenience!

But why does Wuhua take the bento? ! !

Ye Chen even thought about the misfortune of senior brother Wuxiang or Nangong Ling, but he did not expect that the news that Wuhua had died was transmitted. I didn't come back to my senses for a long time.

Although he was dazed, he reflexively recited the scriptures that he was too familiar with. After a long time, a junior brother next to him pushed him, and Ye Chen woke up. Seeing the worry in the junior brother's eyes, I hurriedly turned my head away.

He felt his face was a little cold and slippery, but when he touched it, a few tears fell.

After reading the scriptures, there were all kinds of expressions on the faces present, most of which were shock and regret.How many people have heard of the name of the wonderful monk Wuhua, when he was not destined to be the head of Shaolin, many people felt sorry for him, but now he passed away suddenly, making everyone feel sympathetic, and they are also curious, Wuhua, what is it like passed away.

In South Shaolin, everyone knows that Ye Chen and Wuhua are close friends, but not everyone in North Shaolin knows.At this time, another monk came to ask Ye Chen, "Senior brother has stayed in Southern Shaolin, do you know Monk Miao? What a pity..."

Ye Chen reluctantly responded to his expression, and rushed towards Tianliu.

Tianliu's expression was also a bit wrong, and he was even more worried when he saw Ye Chen. He stopped Ye Chen from speaking, "It's inconvenient now."

At this time there were too many people around, Tianliu didn't want to talk with him here, for fear that he could not control his emotions.

Following Tianliu and Tianhu to the abbot's monastery, Ye Chen was in no mood to speak at this moment.Fortunately, he still boasted at that time, saying that those who don't deserve to die should not even think about dying. At this time, his face was really burning with pain, and the bottom of his heart was like a knife piercing.

Tianliu saw that he was so depressed, so he could only comfort him: "The reincarnation of life and death is caused by causes and conditions. What can mortals do, don't let the three eyes get stuck in your heart because of this, for fear of hurting your practice." Tianliu also regretted it, but not as young People are so obvious.

"Master..." Ye Chen said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that he has no intention of cultivating."

Tianliu's complexion changed drastically, he didn't expect his mood to change so quickly, and his tone was not like the usual joke of "returning to vulgarity".So what Tianliu was thinking at this time was not that his apprentice didn't want to practice anymore, but because he was afraid that Ye Chen would be hit too hard by it. After all, this apprentice was brought up by him alone.

Tianhu sighed. As soon as he saw the real person, he could see that although the apprentice, the apprentice, had a good root and understanding, he obviously didn't have the karma of Buddha. It's inevitable that he will pass away when he gets old, so Ye Chen will be hit hard and can't read the scriptures.

Compared to many ascetic monks, Ye Chen came from the future and thought too much.

It's a pity that Tianliu was blinded by a leaf. Seeing Ye Chen's excellent understanding, although he also considered that he might not have Buddha heart, he didn't take it seriously. He didn't expect that if he was born with great virtue, why would he need to cultivate bodhicitta.

Besides, Ye Chen regretted seeing Tianliu's bad face.He was impulsive just now, and in a bad mood, he felt that he was still cultivating Buddha in such a state of mind, so he blurted out, seeing that Tianliu seemed very sad, and said reluctantly: "Just now I have evil thoughts in my heart, lest I break the precepts in the future, and it will break." Practice."

He hasn't asked about the cause of Wuhua's death yet, but just now he turned it over in his mind and thought it was Shi Guanyin who did it.There are only a few who can fight Wuhua, Chu Liuxiang never kills, Wuxiang is a monk and he can't kill people, Nangongling is a brother-controller, and the rest can be anyone but Shi Guanyin.

Thinking about it this way, how could Ye Chen not have evil thoughts.

He had long felt that Shi Guanyin used his own son to be very inhuman, if he still killed his son, this person...

Seeing Ye Chen's uncertain face, Tianliu also guessed something, closed his eyes slightly, "Amitabha."

"...Amitabha." Ye Chen was startled awake by the sound of the Buddha's name, and he also recited a sentence in a low voice, and asked, "Second Martial Uncle, I don't know how Brother Wu Hua died?"

Tianhu handed the letter to Ye Chen, motioning him to read it for himself.

Ye Chen took the letter and looked at it, the content was exactly as he thought.The letter was written by Wu Xiang. After he and Wu Hua went down the mountain, they rushed to Jinan City.At that time, Nangongling escaped from Chu Liuxiang's guard without knowing what happened. Chu Liuxiang also met Wuhua and Wuxiang during the chase, and the three agreed to look for Nangongling separately.

Unexpectedly, Shi Guanyin also seemed to have spotted this opportunity. He wanted to kill Nangong Ling, but Wuhua met him... When Chu Liuxiang and the others came to find him, Wuhua had already died at the hands of Shi Guanyin, but luckily he managed to save her. Nangong Ling's life.

Nangong Ling was distraught, he had been tortured for so long without revealing the news, and when Wu Hua died, he immediately regarded Shi Guanyin as an enemy.And after discussing with Chu Liuxiang and Wuxiang, thinking that Wuhua used to like boating and doing elegant things, he put his body on a raft and floated away, letting him be buried in the water naturally.

After reading the letter, Ye Chen was stunned for a long time, feeling very tormented.

Tianhu couldn't bear it and said: "What's on my nephew's mind?" If he was grieving for Wuhua, his expression would be inappropriate.

Ye Chen said to his master: "...I want to go down the mountain immediately."

Tianliu was also suffering. Although Ye Chen had finished receiving the precepts, there was still one altar of the three great precepts to be completed, and the monks were not completely finished. "You can only mourn by the water, it is better to mourn for nothing Please recite more scriptures."

"I can't read on." Ye Chen's face was gloomy, "This matter..."

He was suffering in his heart, but it was a little different from what Tianliu thought. He thought that going down the mountain was not all about mourning, and he was a little suspicious that Wuhua was not dead.

Although Chu Liuxiang, Nangong Ling, and Wuxiang's vision is beyond doubt, but he has been with Wuhua for a long time, and after reading Wuxiang's description, he always feels that something is wrong.He also felt that he hoped that this was Wuhua's design, and he was afraid that Wuhua would do something bad by cheating his death, and he was even more worried that if he guessed wrong, it would be a waste of nothing. .

Tianliu was also very tired, and looked at Tianhu, "Senior brother..."

He also understands the friendship between Ye Chen and Wuhua, and is afraid that Ye Chen will be further away from the way of practice because of this. He also thinks that he has also seen Shi Guanyin's kung fu, and he is afraid that his apprentice will suffer losses when he goes down the mountain. The two difficulties are no less tormented than Ye Chen.

Tianhu looked at his junior brother and shook his head, "Let him go down the mountain. If he can come back, he can receive the bodhisattva precepts in three years."

Tianliu was stunned, he didn't think as deeply as Tianhu, what Tianhu meant was that there were only two ways for Ye Chen to go out, either don't come back, or don't bring anything with him, including all distracting thoughts.

Tianliu gritted his teeth, and added another bet, "That's right, Sanmu, if you want to go, not only that, you must immediately give up the current precepts." Not only are there only two choices, but because he has to give up the original precepts before the three great precepts are fully completed, then after returning, Ye Chen will be re-accepted, and the precepts will be counted again.

Ye Chen was about to speak, but Tianhu pressed his shoulder and said, "Three questions at the beginning, it means that my Buddhist school does not accept people who are reluctant, and your master will not control any decisions you make."

Tianliu also sighed, "That's right, Sanmu, you don't have to worry about being a teacher."

The three of them all understood that this was a test for Ye Chen. Part of this trip was because he had no flowers, and part of it was because Ye Chen had never had a Buddha in his heart. He really needed to clarify his mind, which would determine his future life.

Faced with Tianliu's attitude, Ye Chen's eyes turned hot, "I have no voice, I wish... to give up my own precepts."

Tianliu pressed heavily on Ye Chen's shoulder, and looked at him encouragingly, "Okay, you go down the mountain. Sanmu, no matter what the result is, Xuedou Temple is still there." He also figured it out just now, apprentice It doesn't matter whether he becomes an eminent monk or not. Even if he returns to lay life, he is still his apprentice. He will be a teacher for a day, and he will spend his whole life doing so.

Ye Chen almost burst into tears.

In addition to tears, I was even more disappointed.

He only listens to other people's lightning marriage and divorce. He is a lightning ring.Accepting the precepts on the front foot and giving up the precepts on the back foot, I don’t know if it is considered unprecedented...

Ye Chen has been a monk for almost ten years, practiced for ten years, and kept precepts for ten years.

Not to mention his past ten years, even a monk like Tianliu who has been abstinent for decades, if he wants to give up his precepts, he only needs a simple sentence.

When taking the precepts, I asked and asked solemnly. The ceremony before the Buddha was long and solemn, with three masters and seven certifications, and a hundred and eighty precepts. However, no matter how long you have observed the precepts, how strict you are, giving up is just a word, even regardless of witnesses. How many.

Is this the looseness of Buddhism, or is it strict?

After ten years of practice and one funeral, Tianhu said that his Buddha affinity was not enough, so whether his Buddha affinity is only for these ten years, or there will be more, it is temporarily unknown.
