Let's follow the king, little master

The water is rippling, and the light reflected by the sun seems to be more dazzling. More and more fishing boats are encountered, which proves that the shore will be getting closer and closer.Slowly opening their eyelids, children playing on the shore appeared, their laughter was full of innocence, and the corners of the mouths of those who heard it could not help but curl up.

When the boat docked, Zhang Xia tied the stakes, and then took Li Mu's hand to the shore. There were only the two of them on the boat, and the others had already landed and returned home one after another.

Standing on the shore, Zhang Xia was in a very good mood. Although he had been on the boat for a whole day, he was full of excitement to see his sweetheart. It was the exact opposite of Li Mu's mood. Zhang Xia saw Li Mu's tired face and took a picture He patted him on the shoulder and went to find the carriage.

Along the way, Zhang Xia told him many stories in the camp.Zhang Xia was a child who grew up by the sea. Although the flesh on his body makes him look inflexible, he is also good at sports.

Zhang Xia has been telling Li Mu all the way how he played a role between recruiting soldiers and the soldiers in the capital, how he taught the landlubbers in the capital to swim, how he was supported by others and became the head of the capital. He was in a daze, but Zhang Xia was used to seeing him listless now.

Sitting in the carriage, Li Mu turned his head sideways to look at the scenery outside the carriage which was occasionally caught by the wind when the curtain was blown up.This was the first time that Li Mu had left Cong County for such a long time, but now that he came back, he felt more at ease compared to being on the boat, but he didn't feel too much joy in his heart.

It's just because the emperor passed away, there was no music playing on the street, not even the hawking, and everyone was dressed plainly, and now it seems that it suits Li Mu's mood.

"Zhang Xia, send me to Wude Temple." Li Mu said suddenly.

"What? You're not going back to Muyuan?"

"I'll do the math. Tomorrow is exactly the sixteenth. I want to go back after receiving the precepts so that I can see Master and my parents." Li Mu said.

"Why do you still want to be ordained after you've come out?" Zhang Xia never understood Li Mu's determination to be ordained since he met Li Mu, and now that Li Mu is out.It must be because he has seen so many interesting things in the world in the past, but he still wants to become a monk, which makes him even more puzzled.

"I remember you asked me to become a monk because I didn't find anything to do, but now I don't have to do what I want to do, so becoming a monk is what I want to do." Li Mu smiled and said to Zhang Xia.

"Then let's go together. Now that I have finally made a difference, the queen's party has been eradicated, and my crime will be ignored. Besides, the new emperor's enthronement will definitely pardon the world. I can be regarded as justified." Zhang Xia smiled. He said that he did not expect to experience this Southern Expedition. Not only did he no longer have to hide his identity, but he was so happy to get the news that the queen was eradicated on the ship.

So the two came to Wude Temple together, but when they arrived at the temple, they saw that the gate of the temple was closed. Li Mu was puzzled, this Wude Temple had never been closed during the day since he came here.Both felt strange and looked at each other, then Zhang Xia knocked on the door, but the door was not opened immediately,

"Excuse me, who is it?" Although the door was not opened, the voice of the monk asking was heard from inside.

"Senior brother, I'm Li Mu, a pure man here, and I want to be ordained tomorrow in this temple." Li Mu replied respectfully.

At this time the door was opened gently, the monk opened the door and invited Li Mu and Zhang Xia to come in.As soon as I entered the door, I saw people in the temple constantly busy, running around.

"Brother, what happened in the temple?" Li Mu asked curiously.

"Master Du Chi has passed away, he will be cremated today." The monk replied with a sigh.

Li Mu stopped when he heard this, grabbed the monk's hand, stared into the monk's eyes, and said in a trembling voice:

"You say master, you say master..." Li Mu couldn't say those two words no matter what.

"Yes." The monk said, "the almsgiver and Master Du Chi are very destined, and it is even more evident when we come to the temple at this time. Please, I will take the almsman, and the time will come soon." The monk said Then he took Li Mu and Zhang Xia to the cremation place.

The sun was shining brightly. Monk Du Chi was sitting on the lotus seat filled with wooden sticks with his eyes closed. All around him were monks sitting upright reciting scriptures. The monks with Li Mu folded their hands and sat down. Zhang Xia looked around. Then he saluted and sat down.Only Li Mu stood there in a daze, looking at the figure of Monk Du Chi, the upright seat seemed to have passed away, he couldn't believe it.

Although he didn't admit it in his heart, Li Mu sat down slowly, and then tears fell.Li Mu clasped his hands together and closed his eyes, his mind was full of Master Du Chi, who appeared in the hall as a punishment, smiled kindly at him, joked with him, taught him medicine, and taught his Master Du Chi earnestly.

The last words that Master Du Chi said to him sounded in his ears: The world is so big, everything is everything, if you experience it, the pain in your heart is not pain.These words kept circulating in Li Mu's head.

Not only the sunlight, but Li Mu felt a beam of light shining through his eyelids. Li Mu opened his eyes, and saw that the wooden sticks piled up under the seat of Monk Du Chi had been ignited, and the raging fire could no longer be seen clearly on the seat. The appearance of Du Chi monk.But Li Mu felt that he saw Master Du Chi smiling, so he naturally left his flesh god with a kind smile to seek higher attainments.

It was night, Li Mu couldn't sleep, put on his clothes and stood up.Zhang Xia had already left, and when he left, Li Mu asked him to tell his parents that he was going to Yunyou or not.

He wants to see everything in this world by himself, go to various temples, and also meet Master Due, the younger brother of Master Du Chi who lives in Peihua Temple, and of course, to leave this sad place.

Li Mu couldn't fall asleep thinking about it alone, walked under the bright moonlight, and came to the room of Monk Du Chi.Pushing open the door and walking in, I have walked in here countless times, thinking about how time flies, but now Master Du Chi is gone.

During the day, Li Mu asked about the situation of Monk Du Chi's passing away. He only heard that the previous day's work and rest were as usual, but he didn't come out to chant scriptures the next morning, so someone knocked on the door to find out that Monk Du Chi had passed away and was sitting on the bed. , which is the posture during cremation.

Li Mu looked at everything in the room as before, but he saw that someone had just put down a pen on the desk, the four treasures of the study were neatly arranged, and there was a piece of paper on the desk.Li Mu stepped forward and saw a mountain, a tree, and a lake painted on the paper. The peaks of the mountain stood tall, and the tree went straight down without tilting. But the lake was supposed to be calm, but the water was rippling and full of waves. .I saw a few words written on the paper: the world goes by

life and death

flashy passerby

ask about inscriber

but listen to people

idiot idiot

The next day, July [-]th, Li Mu stayed up all night, went to the sutra hall early to recite sutras, and then ate a fast meal, waiting for the time to receive precepts. This time, Li Mu was the first.

Sitting there on his knees, Li Mu listened to the novice explain the novice precepts to him:

"Don't kill, don't steal, don't commit adultery, don't lie, don't drink alcohol. Can you abide by these and enter Buddhism?"

"Yes." Li Mu clasped his hands together and replied.

The ordain took out a spatula to make gradients for Li Mu. Li Mu put his hands together and lowered his head to watch his hair being put into the box one by one, feeling extremely calm.Li Mu raised his head until the sound of a wooden fish sounded beside him, and then the ordain put his hands together and said:

"From today onwards, you are a novice, and your Dharma name is Huide."

Li Mu and the preceptee each saluted, then Li Mu stood elsewhere, and another preceptee stepped forward.Li Mu turned his head to look at the blue sky outside the house, and turned his head after a while.

After receiving the precepts, Li Mu walked out of the hall, looked at the shadow of the east wall, smiled bitterly, and left the hall.

The whole process of Li Mu's ordeal was under the eyes of the shadow guards sent by Yu Che in the shadows. It's just that he got the news from above and looked good on him, but he didn't need to stop him from doing anything.So just like that, Li Mu successfully received the novice precepts that had been delayed for a long time.
