Self-cultivation of male support

When Shi Yan woke up again, it was already noon. After sleeping, he felt that his body was completely relaxed, and his soul stretched comfortably.

When he got up, the quilt on his body slipped down the corner of the bed, and Shi Yan walked out of the yard helplessly with his short legs, and as expected, he saw his uncle Cheng Lixue, his aunt and the second princess's family in the yard, and there was also a formal man sitting next to him. The abbot who cooks tea for the family of three.

Looking at this suffocating family, Shi Yan couldn't help but sigh how strong the second princess's heart is. According to the current timeline, the hero and heroine should still be simple childhood sweethearts, they didn't break the window paper, and lived in peace.

And the abbot himself didn't know that Cheng Changqing was actually the child of the second princess and him.

However, the second princess who knows everything is still so calm and composed. I don't know whether to say that she is naturally bold or not good at thinking.

Seeing Shi Yan standing at the door, Uncle Cheng Lixue opened his arms towards Shi Yan very happily: "A Yan, come quickly and let Uncle take a look!"

Cheng Lixue is a general, and he has a lifelong friendship with Shi Yan's father, Feng Ziran. The relationship between Cheng and Feng's two families is irreversible, and the relationship between the two is very good.

How good is it?

It was so good that Cheng Lixue could marry her younger sister Cheng Liyu to Feng Ziran without hesitation, and believed that Feng Ziran would treat her well for the rest of her life.

After her sister and brother-in-law died on the battlefield, Cheng Lixue took great care of her only nephew, so she would often visit her little nephew by going up the mountain to burn incense and light the ever-burning lamps for her brother-in-law's family. And the abbot provides ample opportunities for rekindling old relationships.

Shi Yan walked up to his uncle slowly, Cheng Lixue's tight arms passed under Shi Yan's armpits, lifted him up and down in mid-air a few times, and then said with a distressed face: "You've lost weight, you've lost weight again!"

He hugged him distressedly: "Ayan, do you feel uncomfortable living here? If you are not used to it, just tell uncle, and uncle will go to intercede with His Majesty and let you live with uncle."

Shi Yan shook his head calmly.

There is no need for this. To be honest, the emperor’s choice is very clear. It is not uncommon to have an extra child in the temple. After all, Wanfo Temple goes down the mountain every day to help poor people. One day, there are not a dozen homeless people. Orphan?

But when a child appeared in the Cheng family who had a close relationship with the Feng family, didn't he tell others that there was a ghost in it, and lead them to investigate?

For the sake of my life, let's continue to hang out in the temple!

Cheng Lixue hugged Shi Yan on his lap, and asked Shi Yan in a gentle voice how he had been in the temple during this time, nagging, talking about everything, better than Cheng Changqing in the morning, and the overlap between the two questions was very high , Shi Yan rolled his eyes in his heart.

In the end, it was unbearable, and she directly told Cheng Lixue with her small face up: "Uncle, it's only been three days since we met last time."

Shi Yan's taciturn persona finally collapsed.

Cheng Lixue and the others were very happy. Cheng Lixue held Shi Yan face to face with her, and said excitedly: "A Yan, are you finally willing to talk to uncle? Say a few more words to uncle! Uncle will know Our Ah Yan is the bravest child!"

Shi Yan said with a cold face, expressionless: "Annoying!"

In the monk's temple, he was already impatient, and everyone he met could talk more than the monk. Shi Yan felt that he could still obediently be manipulated by others in the monk's place.

Seeing that Shi Yan's small brows were tightly frowned, the uncle quickly said: "Okay, it's my uncle's fault, it disturbed us, Ah Yan, so it's just that uncle doesn't bother Ah Yan."

Maybe Cheng Lixue and Shi Yan's consciousness is biased, they have different understandings of "annoying", Shi Yan thinks that the best choice is for the other party to shut up.

Cheng Lixue felt that using a gentler voice to ask Shi Yan about his daily life and finding a way to take good care of him was the most important thing.

Shi Yan put on a small face, in order to prevent the other party from continuing to make a lot of miscellaneous remarks, he seized the opportunity to make his own requests one by one, which stunned everyone present, including the abbot.

"I want to practice Taoism!"

"I want to be quiet!"

"I want to eat meat to grow my body!"

"I don't want to hear monks chanting scriptures!"

"I want my uncle to visit me every three days!"

The air in the yard was silent, no one spoke, everyone had different thoughts, but one thing was very common: who was provoking the child in front of him?What is the purpose?Was it an acquaintance who committed the crime?Why didn't I notice it at all?

In short, it is impossible for such a young child to think of such outrageous ideas by himself.

After a long time, the abbot spoke first, and said in a coaxing tone, "Ayan, why do you think so, did you hear someone say something?"

Shi Yan shook his head confidently: "No! Anyway, you have to become a monk, which one is not a monk?

Whenever I hear the great monk chanting scriptures, I get a headache, and every time I see the shiny bald head, my eyes hurt!Why can't you choose the way that makes you happy?At least Taoist priests have hair! "

The abbot warmly coaxed Shi Yan: "The lay disciples of the Buddhist temple can also have hair. Anyway, you haven't officially shaved. If you like hair, you can grow it slowly. If you want to eat meat, you can eat with monks. It's very convenient. .”

Shi Yan shook his head calmly, and told the people present: "I have made up my mind on this matter. I just inform you, not discuss with you. From now on, I will be an ordinary person who borrows the treasure land of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to practice Taoism here. Well, all things in Buddhism have nothing to do with me! I hope that nothing that happens in the temple will disturb my purity!"

The rest of the people thought that they were children throwing a tantrum at the time, and in private they had people step up their defenses, trying to find out who was behind Shi Yan's back, and for what purpose.

Who knew that nothing was found, but Shi Yan found out that Shi Yan had found a few Taoist classics from nowhere, and was actually seriously practicing in the courtyard by reciting scriptures and meditating.

No one is allowed to enter on weekdays, and it really looks like that.

There was a reason why Shi Yan was so serious all of a sudden, because he discovered that although the aura in this world was meager, it could be cultivated.

Shi Yan was full of fighting spirit: "Master once said before that our teacher's Taoist scriptures, if cultivated to a certain level, can be life and death, human flesh and bones, and it is easy to ascend in the daytime.

Back then, as the most outstanding disciple of my master's school, I was able to walk like flying, make great strides in every day, keep my face forever, and lived for more than 200 years.

Back then, I thought Master was fooling people, but when I came to this world, I suddenly understood that it was not fooling, it was just that there was no innate condition in that world to ascend in daylight! "

Shi Yandao said to Xiaojia: "The responsibility of carrying forward the great responsibility of being a teacher in another world falls on my shoulders!"

Xiaojia said quietly: "Leader, you can be content. As a human being, you can live two hundred years, be free from disease and disaster, walk like flying, and have an eternal face, isn't it enough? Or was it drawn to another world and started from scratch?"

Xiao Jia said: "Team leader, as an employee of the fast-traveling game, to a certain extent, he is immortal, no different from a god. How can you be so smart that you can't think about this issue?"

Shi Yan said with a smile that was not a smile: "Xiao Jia, haven't you noticed?"

Xiao Jia was puzzled: "What did you find?"

"In the past, we experienced several worlds, and even absorbed a heroine aura for you, but how many memories do you have unsealed? Less than one percent?

Since coming into this world, you've said too many things you shouldn't know. "Shi Yan said quietly.

Xiao Jia was startled, and did a quick self-examination. It took only 30 seconds, and she said excitedly: "Team leader, team leader! You are indeed the smartest scumbag in the world! Not only have I unsealed the memories of several worlds, Also opened the system mall! From now on, I will no longer be a worthless Tonger!

We have a system mall that is ready to use!Are you happy?It’s great to cultivate, it’s great to have spiritual energy!Team leader, stop talking, hurry up and practice!Your cultivation is equal to my cultivation. Maybe you ascended during the day, and all the functions of Tong'er will be unlocked! "

Shi Yan had to remind Xiaojia a terrifying fact: "Stop daydreaming, the system mall is open, but you are unaware, which only means that we can't use the things in it."

Xiaojia shrank instantly: "Team leader, you are right. To buy things in the system mall, you need blackening points, arrogance points, white lotus points, green tea points, resentment points... you need everything, but you don't need merit points.

But now we only have merit points, countless merit points..."

There was no fluctuation in Shi Yan's heart: "I knew it, it wasn't like this before! Being targeted by others requires the consciousness of being targeted. It's better to rely on yourself than anything else. Be good, go back to sleep, and don't disturb my cultivation!"

Shi Yan, who fell into the cultivation mode, lived even more reclusively. Except for brother Wu Wu who delivered food to his yard three times a day, he could see him, and he seldom appeared in front of outsiders.

The people who had followed the abbot every step of the way suddenly had no sense of existence at all. While many people in the temple were relieved, they couldn't help but make malicious speculations.

"Could it be that the abbot master finally found out that he is a dumb gourd who knows nothing, and he can't inherit his old man's mantle at all, so he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to teach himself!"

"Amitabha, in my opinion, the abbot master is too kind. Seeing him pitiful, he even reserved a small courtyard for him to live in. Who would have imagined that the child is very ignorant of good and bad. Due to his young age, even the courtyard Not one step.

Not to mention listening to the masters chanting, doing homework, cleaning the courtyard, completing daily tasks, obeying the orders of the masters in the discipline hall, doing nothing, occupying a courtyard by one person, and having to be delivered by brothers every day. He is more airy than the abbot who is in retreat. I want to see what kind of tricks he can make while staying in the yard! "

"Amitabha, fellow seniors, I feel that you are all making too much fuss. My senior heard that Master Mingguang came from a famous family. When the former abbot brought him back to the temple, he made it clear in front of everyone that Master Mingguang would be ordained as soon as he reached his age. .

Train him early as a successor.

What was there at that time?Apart from being randomly shaved, is there a ceremony?Did the abbot master say that he would pass on his mantle?Now there is only one layman's name, doesn't that explain the problem?

Why compare him with the abbot, isn't it an insult to the abbot? "

In the "Yuanjue Sutra", there is: "All Tathagatas, the abbot of Guangyan." Later, the meaning of the abbot appeared gradually.

Abbot Mingguang, Uncle Shi Yan, is the most typical example.

In the "Vimalakirti Sutra", it is said: "Vimalakirti layman, his bedroom is one foot square, but it can accommodate the public." The word abbot first appeared.

The abbot in the temple doesn't care about common things, he needs to have a profound Buddhist law and a scroll that can prove his inheritance.

And generally, temples with abbots must have a sound system, with more than [-] monks, and three main halls as the foundation.To a certain extent, the abbot is an upgraded version of the abbot, with a higher degree of professionalism than the abbot.

Therefore, the monk's ridicule of Shi Yan was instantly recognized by everyone.

It wasn't just one or two people who gossiped about Shi Yan in private in the temple, but these people were so chatty that General Cheng Lixue, who came to visit his nephew, overheard them.

Outsiders didn't know the relationship between the two of them, and when they saw him leaving with a dark face, their face was inexplicable. Apart from the embarrassment of being caught behind the scenes, the rest was more dissatisfaction with Shi Yan.

Cheng Lixue walked with the wind, and his heart was full of anger. The Feng family was a loyal family, and all died in the battle. Except for Feng Zixu who was a monk, Shi Yan was the only one left.

Putting it behind the temple and being so bullied by a group of bald donkeys who don't understand anything but can only knock on wooden fish and chant sutras, how can he be calmed down?

Along the way, Cheng Lixue thought of countless ways to change Shi Yan's situation, and even vented his anger on Feng Zixu, who was Shi Yan's uncle.

But when he stood outside Shi Yan's courtyard and quietly looked at the child meditating under the tree, his previous thoughts disappeared in an instant.

For a moment, he saw Brother Feng's innocence, persistence, and courage to move forward from this child.Other people's views and ideas seem to have no influence on the child at all.

Unknowingly watching Shi Yan stood for half an hour, when Shi Yan opened his eyes and asked him actively, Cheng Lixue suddenly woke up.

"Uncle, you are full of depression in your heart. After a long time, I am afraid that your life expectancy will be hindered. I have a scripture here. If you like it, you can take it and study it several times." Shi Yan sincerely suggested.

His uncle looked like a Confucian general. After leaving the battlefield, he had a harmonious family and a smooth official career. Everyone envied him, but he seemed to have too many worries in his heart, and he didn't look like he could live a long life.

Cheng Lixue shook her head again and again, and told Shi Yan in a low voice: "Uncle doesn't believe in these ghosts at all, and usually just pretends."

As he spoke, he went to touch Shi Yan's hairy head, which had already grown a stubble of black hair, and teased casually: "Oh, it's a bit tricky! A Yan, didn't you keep saying that you want to practice Taoism? You are also a monk when you cultivate Taoism, so you can still recognize me as a lay uncle ?"

After speaking, I kneaded it twice again, and felt that the texture was quite special.

Shi Yan took his uncle's hand off his head without emotion, and said solemnly: "Cultivating the Tao is based on the original heart, and my mood is unstable, so what has it to do with external things?

Also, don't try to make waves on my head with those hands, or don't blame me for being rude! "

Cheng Lixue was amused by his nephew's serious appearance, opened the food box in his hand, and put it on the stone table in the courtyard: "Come on, didn't you say that you want to eat meat every day to grow your body, and see your uncle once every three days? Isn't that right?" Brought it all for you!"

Shi Yan obediently sat down to serve himself a meal and ate it. To be honest, cultivation is not about sitting still and meditating. It's the body that's holding you back.

Seeing that her nephew was delicious, Cheng Lixue served a bowl herself. The two sat opposite each other and finished the meal in silence. When they put down the bowls and chopsticks, Shi Yan contentedly touched his stomach, and Cheng Lixue had an incredible expression on his face.

"This is the amount of two adults!"

Shi Yan assumed he didn't hear it, so he changed the subject: "Uncle, why didn't you see Cousin Changqing today?"

Cheng Lixue showed his old father and smiled: "Your cousin accompanied Miss Zhou to worship Buddha in the front hall. Miss Zhou, you may not know that she is the eldest daughter of the fifth princess and Master Zhou Chengde. She is one year older than your cousin Changqing. My cousins ​​and my childhood sweethearts grew up together."

Cheng Lixue smiled happily: "A Yan, maybe you will have a cousin soon."

Shi Yan blinked, and quickly turned around the words of driving people away: "Is Auntie here too?"

"Yeah, your aunt doesn't have any extravagant hobbies, she just likes to talk about Buddhism. Uncle, I'm really not interested in these things. I usually pretend to be okay, but if I really want to talk about it, it will be revealed every minute.

Why don't you send her to Abbot Mingguang first, and then come to see you! "

Shi Yan asked casually: "Uncle, have you agreed with your aunt on the time to go down the mountain?"

Cheng Lixue raised her eyebrows and smiled, and wanted to rub her nephew's little head with her hands again. Under her nephew's condemning eyes, she withdrew her hand embarrassingly, and said slowly: "Do you want to stay with uncle for a while? How about uncle picking you up?" It's fine to play at home for a few days, there's no need to stay in this damn place every day.

It's still early today, and I went down the mountain after an appointment for two hours with your aunt, so I can tell you about the feats of your parents on the battlefield! "

Shi Yan counted the time, got up and held Cheng Lixue's big hand: "Let's go, I don't want to listen to stories today, I found a very hidden path in the back mountain two days ago, when we have had enough fun, we can go along the path Host uncle's yard and give uncle and aunt a surprise!"

Shi Yan said meaningfully: "Don't worry, only Ah Yan knows that little way, and I'm sure to surprise them!"
