Wolf boy

Among the strands of tobacco in the Hall of Eternal Life, Zong Shuo, who Liansheng was watching, was about to burn out the incense candle in his hand, and Zong Shuo hadn't picked it up yet.

At this moment, I only heard someone shouting angrily outside, "Zong Shuo, Zong Shuo! Where are you? Have you shaved or not!"

Shout out, because there was no one to be found, Ah Tong stomped his feet angrily again, stretched out his paws and scratched the base of the wall "hissing", as if his hairy ears were about to pop out.

Incense candles are burning everywhere here, Ah Tong chased the smell here, but his sense of smell was not very sensitive, so he couldn't distinguish it, so he could only yell to try.

Zong Shuo turned his head abruptly when he heard the sound, and saw the bright sunlight shining into the mottled palace door, together with the young man's voice, brightening up the heavy room, his expression softened instantly.

Seeing this, Liansheng realized, and finally smiled at this moment. Their child met a nice person, full of vigor, and pleasing to the eye.

Immediately, Liansheng sent the remaining one-inch incense candle to Zong Shuo.

"Back to your heart, you have to be free for yourself."

Zong Shuo finally took the incense, worshiped the spirits of the four directions, and then put the incense candles in front of his parents' desks. He knelt down and kowtowed to Liansheng, and Liansheng also accepted it.

"Dianjun, do you..." Needless to say, Liansheng also knew what Zong Shuo meant, so he turned around and waved his hands.

"My world of mortals is dead, and it is my wish to be able to have the present, but you have just begun."

Then, listening to the intensified sound of scratching the wall outside, Lian Sheng smiled and waved his hand, "Go, if it's later, your mortal world will scratch through the wall of the temple!"

Zong Shuo looked at Liansheng's back. The loose monk's robe covered this body that looked like a tree in the wind when he was young.There was a wind blowing outside, and the door was slowly blown open.This ray of wind bypassed the flickering candle on Dinggong Prince Helian Chonghua's case, sneaked down again, and blew the corner of Liansheng's robe.

Zong Shuo finally turned around, begging for benevolence and gaining benevolence. After seeing the scene of this palace, he deeply understood this father's side king who had never passed away again.

He has always been by his father's side, either right away, or in court, but now that the dust is gone, he will be the last gravekeeper.

Zong Shuo originally wanted to bring Ah Tong together to pay respects to his parents and Liansheng, but Liansheng turned his back, and Qingfeng slowly closed the palace door again, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, the old things are over, there is no need to repeat care.

What are you praying for?Such a room full of old yin and yang friends, don’t scare people, and the breeze blows back to the Hall of Eternal Life, the candles in front of all the tablets in the hall are flickering, the candle flames in front of a pair of golden silk wooden tablets dance, and then calm down.

They have already seen people, not bad!

Ah Tong crouched under the wall, a gust of cool wind brushed his cheeks, his nose itched and he sneezed.Feeling a little cold, he jumped onto the big banyan tree by the wall, hung on it, and looked for people down there.

Just when he was deciding whether to howl or not in this quiet temple, he saw Zong Shuo coming out of nowhere and walking towards him.

Ah Tong stared at the man's still thick and black hair, heaved a sigh of relief, let out a "hum", and collapsed on the branch of the tree, unable to get off.

Zong Shuo walked under the tree, raised his head, looked at the dappled sunlight shining on Ah Tong's body through the dense green branches and leaves, he exhaled slowly, feeling his body was getting lighter.

Zong Shuo opened his arms under the tree, but Ah Tong turned his face and pouted, "I don't want to kiss me with the Great Monk!"

Zong Shuo laughed, "What monk?"

Ah Tong bared his teeth, glanced at his eyes to find fault, "I heard that you are going to become a monk to inherit some kind of mantle, and monks can't get married." Now he, Anahe, told many stories, such as "The Merry Monk's Sinful Debt", " The eminent monk asked the world of mortals" and so on, but there is no good end!

The man squinted at Ah Tong, "Since no one wants me, it's okay to be a monk."

As soon as Ah Tong heard it, how could he be willing? It was just a joke, so he immediately turned his head, "I want it, I want it!"

So, the young man let go of his hands, and hung down from the tree softly, and threw himself into the strong arms of the man with a smile.

When Ah Tong saw Zong Shuo, his heart felt at ease, and the two of them lived together tenderly for a long time before he remembered the half bucket of rice he had thrown in the dining room.

"Hey, my leftovers are still in the dining room!"

Zong Shuo felt that the time was almost up, and the master was about to wake up, "It's okay, the Buddhist temple will not waste food, and will save it for the next meal."

After finishing speaking, Zong Shuo put Ah Tong down, tidied up his clothes, and left holding hands.Finally, Zong Shuo looked back at the gate of the ancient palace outside the world of mortals, and said silently in his heart, "The child is gone, parents should not read it."

And A Tong also subconsciously turned his head back, his pupils were golden, and he didn't know what direction he was looking in. He paused occasionally, tilted his head to look for a while, then subconsciously waved his hands, sneezed again, and was released by Zong Shuo. Wrapped in the warm robe.

Ah Tong shrugged his nose, "Zong Shuo, the robe smells like fire."

"It's not fire, it's the smell of incense, don't you like it?"

"It's okay, I don't despise you." It's more like a monk, and Ah Tong gets upset when he thinks of this!So along the way, he babbled and told Zong Shuo the monk stories he had heard from Ana, and finally made a summary.

"If you are shaved off by the great monk and go to become a monk, I will join our whole family to beat up the monk and take you back! Anyway, I, Ana, have developed a unique skill." Speaking of this, the young man was quite proud, Now that I am not afraid of this, I feel that my idea is good.

Zong Shuo relaxed all over, his brows gradually became brighter, and he laughed straight at Ah Tong's words, "Do you think I'm willing? Doesn't that mean you have to break the precept every day."

"What kind of precepts must be broken every day."

The man narrowed his eyes, and hummed in the boy's ear, "Lust, Caution."

After hearing this, Ah Tong blushed a little, his eyes flickered, and then he smiled, "Ah! I have to relapse every day, so tired."

As he spoke, he drifted away from that ancient palace.

As soon as the two of them walked to the road paved with blue bricks, the little novice who led Ah Tong to eat hurriedly found him. When he saw the two people who were walking, he raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat off his face. Said to Ah Tong, "You are here!"

The monk in the dining room found him in the meditation room where he was doing his homework, and said that the boy he led had jumped off a cliff!This frightened the little monk, so he didn't do his homework, and looked for Ah Tong everywhere, but before he could look around, the holy monk woke up and told him not to panic, but to look around the lotus pond.

So he just walked through the lotus pond, no!Did you just see it?

"Follow me, Master Yunzhi is awake!"

Zong Shuo's expression changed when he heard the words, and he immediately took Ah Tong to the meditation room where the holy monk was retreating.

Yunzhong Temple is extremely spacious, and there are different meditation rooms and dormitories built on the entire mountain, but as a holy monk, it only occupies a small and inconspicuous room, with blue tiles and white walls, square and square.There are nests built by birds under the eaves, and there is an entrance for cats to enter between the cracks in the door. It doesn't look like an eminent monk's meditation room, but more like an ordinary farmer's house.

Zong Shuo is all too familiar with everything here, this is the last place where he was safe in his youth.

Pushing open the door, an old monk sat kindly on an old futon, beckoning to the two who came in, "Come here, ask the poor monk to have a look, I heard that your poison has been cured."

Zong Shuo hurriedly stepped forward to hold Yunzhi's pulse. After a while, the master pulled his hand away and nodded, feeling a little relieved. Then he looked at the young man who kept looking at him.

"Master, this is Ah Tong, my wife."

Afterwards, Zong Shuo lightly tugged Ah Tong's hand again, "This is the master I told you about, call someone."

It's just that Ah Tong was a little dazed at the moment. He looked at the old monk for a long time, and then he realized when the master reached out and tapped his eyebrows.

"Great monk, you have light!"

Zong Shuo pinched Ah Tong's nose, "Call me master, no big or small."

Ah Tong nodded, and obediently called out, "Master!"

Zong Shuo was still telling the holy monk that Ah Tong was natural by nature, so he didn't understand the etiquette of the world.The holy monk didn't care, instead he took a closer look at Ah Tong. Finally, under the boy's star-like hidden gold eyes, the old monk put his hands together and bent down to worship.

"The spirit of heaven and earth deserves the congratulations of all living beings."

Ah Tong also quickly bent down to return the salute, but still couldn't hold back, he twisted his waist and got into the palm of the holy monk's folded hands, "Master, this is the first time I've seen a person who can shine, it's so bright!"

The old monk also got up and smiled, "It's the first time that this poor monk sees a person surrounded by stars, it's so bright."

The old and the young looked at each other and smiled.

But Zong Shuo, who was next to the two of them, was a little silent. He knew the meaning of this trip very well. The seemingly normal old monk in front of him was about to be enthroned, and even the altar had been set up in the temple.

Seeing Zongshuo's situation, the holy monk said in a soft voice, "When we first met, you were punished and poisoned, and the poor monk had no way to dispel it. He could only suppress it a little bit. I saw you again. Bad karma is accumulating on my body day by day, and my anger is rampant, and I am very worried."

After finishing speaking, the monk looked at Zong Shuo again, and then said, "It seems that you have already enlightened, which is very good."

"Don't worry about me either. The self-nature is neither born nor destroyed, neither increasing nor decreasing, neither dirty nor pure. Birth is death, and death is life, Amitabha."

Ah Tong didn't quite understand, but seeing the increasingly bright light on the holy monk's body, he had indescribable feelings, like seeing falling stars in the blue sky, like seeing mountains and rivers change.

Zong Shuo immediately knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said nothing, Ah Tong also knelt down, but was gently pulled up by the old monk, and then the holy monk blinked at Ah Tong, like a naughty boy.

Zong Shuo bowed his head and bowed, "Master! I, I..." There are thousands of knots in his heart and ten thousand catties on his shoulders.There is A Tong beside him, and there is also the silent spiritual seat in the whole meditation room.

Seeing Zong Shuo's hesitation, the holy monk grabbed a sandalwood stick in his old hand, Baoxiang solemnly stretched out his hand and waved it at Zong Shuo's back, yelling at the stick.

"Go! It's all about movement and stillness. It's nothing wrong with doing things. You go with things in the dark, and you don't know where you're going. You're fine. Go, do what you want, and you'll get the orchid fruit."

As soon as the words fell, Zong Shuo bowed his head and said yes, Ah Tong was silent for a while, and then, regardless of the old monk's obstruction, he knelt down beside Zong Shuo, and they kowtowed to the holy monk together.

The holy monk nodded, took a final step back, and then sat cross-legged on the old futon that he had been with for many years. He stopped talking, just closed his eyes and looked at the Buddha statue in the house, silently holding the prayer beads in his hand.

Zong Shuo's eyes were red, and he and Ah Tong bowed together and got up.At this time, several senior monks came in from outside the house. They were all dressed in solemn cassocks, and they walked slowly to the holy monk and sat around them.

Finally, a little monk came out to ask, "Two benefactors, please talk to each other outside the house."

The two went out of the house and stood under the shaded tree, not knowing how to advance or retreat. There were waves of chanting scriptures in the house, and the nesting bird on the eaves left its nest, stumbled, and gradually flew out of this side of the sky.

At noon, the red sun was in the sky, the dense fog in the mountains had disappeared, and the sun was shining brightly.The heavy temple bell of Yunzhong Temple rang twelve times, and the sound echoed in the mountains and gorge.

The head of the world's Buddhist sects, Zen Master Yunzhi passed away in a sitting position.
