Jiang Yan smiled:? ? ?

Before, he only knew that the target of this mission was Compassionate Heart, and the system didn't inform him of the detailed requirements, but now that he hears it, it's not very good.

It doesn't matter if you shave your head. After all, baldness is the only criterion for testing a beauty. He is still very confident in his appearance.

What the hell is reciting Buddhist scriptures?

After wearing a book, he doesn't need to go to school, and plays holographic games every day. Jiang Yanxiao originally enjoyed it, but now the system tells him that the content of the game is actually a dictation? !

"..." Jiang Yan covered his chest with a smile, squatted down as if he couldn't bear it, and buried his head in his knees.

The crowd didn't know the twists and turns in his mind, they thought it was some kind of signal, squatted down in succession, and buried their heads in the bend of their knees.

The little novice looked at the three or forty people squatting with knees in front of him: "..."

Compassionate looks as usual, with a light wave of the golden ring and tin stick, the enchantment of Enci Temple was opened.Just now when Jiang Yanxiao chose the position to be closest to Cixin on purpose, Cixin was the first to notice him, walked up to Jiang Yanxiao, bent slightly and said, "Little benefactor, are you okay?"

"Not good, very bad," Jiang Yan laughed hard, stretched out his claws to grab the corner of the compassionate monk's robe, leaving five gray fingerprints on it, "Master, I'm dizzy..."

Compassionately said: "Dizziness?"

Jiang Yan said with a smile: [I'm dizzy! 】

Of course, Jiang Yan wouldn't say that with a smile, he just lowered his eyes and said pitifully: "We haven't eaten for a long time, and we're about to faint from hunger."

After he finished speaking, the group of Liuyang Village villagers cooperated: "Yes! Master, please help us! We have traveled for several days to get here. We didn't eat anything along the way, and we are about to starve to death!"

Speaking of this, several gray-clothed monks came out from behind the shadow of the tree. They were the abbots and elders of this Enci Temple.

They caught a glimpse of the refugees squatting around the barrier, walked quickly to the little novice, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Didn't I tell them to come back tomorrow?"

The little novice faltered, but before he could answer, the abbot came to Cixin again, and saw a man in ragged clothes and disheveled hair squatting at the feet of the eminent monk, holding on to the corner of Cixin's clothes with one hand, and holding a bamboo pole in the other. Poking ant holes in the ground.

"..." the abbot twitched his brows, clasped his hands together, "I'm bothering the master. These people are beggars in the city, if they affect your way of teaching scriptures..."

"It's nothing," Compassionate interrupted, "Enci Temple has always given porridge to do charity at noon. This action should not be delayed by ritual rituals, and it should not be interrupted by me."

"They are not from Fengcheng, but more like victims of disasters who came to ask for help." Compassionately said, "The situation is special, so please ask Master Yuanguang to give alms earlier."

Compassion has always been gentle with others, and she said the above words in a calm and polite manner.After hearing this, the abbot and the elders felt hot and ashamed.

He immediately ordered several disciples to go to the dining room to cook porridge. After a while, several young monks really brought three large buckets.

One bucket contained wooden bowls, and the other two buckets were filled with gruel made from white rice.The rice fragrance came out with the hot air and got into the noses of the villagers. They stood up one by one, probed their brains, and restrained themselves so as not to pounce.

Jiang Yanxiao knew that he couldn't stay by Cixin's side anymore, so he stood up, patted the ashes off his body, and smiled at Cixin: "Thank you, master!"

"Dinner is ready!" Jiang Yanxiao ran over to help the little monk serve porridge, and handed bowls of porridge to the hungry victims.

The villagers of Liuyang Village took the wooden bowl, almost crying with joy, and couldn't help but thank the master and Jiang Yan with a smile.

Seeing them like this with a smile, Jiang Yan was also very happy, so he simply put the bamboo pole on the ground to serve porridge for everyone.

The two barrels of white porridge soon bottomed out, but Jiang Yanxiao didn't take a sip.

First of all, he is not hungry and does not need to eat, and more importantly, he is not interested in such bland food.

After Ci Xin finished talking with the abbot and the others, she found that Jiang Yanxiao was still serving porridge, so she walked up to him and asked, "Little benefactor, are you not hungry?"

Jiang Yan smiled righteously: "The Buddha once gave up his life to feed tigers, and cut meat to feed eagles. What if I don't eat?"

In fact, he doesn't know much about Buddhism, he has only heard a few allusions.In order to get close to loving kindness, he almost used all his life's knowledge.

Hearing this, a smile flashed in Ci Xin's eyes.

"The little benefactor is very kind," said Ci Xin, "but there are no tigers or eagles here, and there is enough porridge, so you don't have to starve yourself."

After finishing speaking, he took the wooden spoon from Jiang Yanxiao's hand and scooped up a bowl of porridge for him.

Jiang Yan smiled: "..."

Silently saying "I'm a beggar now", Jiang Yanxiao took it with both hands, stared at the clear soup in the bowl, gritted his teeth, and poured it into his throat.

Gudong Gudong, he drank quickly and anxiously, drinking the porridge as water.

Ci Xin thought he was starving, and reminded him in a gentle voice: "Drink slowly, be careful of choking."

Jiang Yan smiled: "Puff...cough cough cough!"

It's okay not to say it, but he wanted to laugh when he said it, but he really choked!

After a quarter of an hour, the alms was over.

According to common sense, Enci Temple does not provide a shelter for beggars who return to their own residences after receiving alms every day.

The villagers of Liuyang Village also planned in the same way.According to their plan, after they entered Fengcheng, they first came to Enci Temple to beg for some food, and then diverted to the Yamen to ask the officials for disaster relief.

Everyone packed up and prepared to leave.But their spiritual leader came to the master and said pitifully, "Master, can I stay here tonight?"

"I can sleep on the floor, in the woodshed, anywhere, just leave me a piece of land." Jiang Yanxiao didn't notice the more than 30 bright eyes behind him, "I have no home, nowhere to go, wandering So far, it’s really a dead end!”

"Master, please take me in!"

Just as Jiang Yanxiao squeezed out a drop of crocodile tears, he heard the plopping sound of kneeling behind him.

The villagers of Liuyang Village were educated and well behaved, they knelt together, and their voices were more powerful, and their pleadings were more sincere.

"Master, please take us in!" They kowtowed in unison, "We are really homeless!"

Jiang Yan smiled: "..."

In the end, they stayed.Compassion learned about the demands and experiences of the villagers, and after discussing with the abbot, they arranged for everyone to go to an empty temple that was temporarily closed for repairs to make do for a day.

The empty temple at the foot of the mountain.

Throwing the bamboo pole aside, Jiang Yanxiao lay on the haystack, crossing his legs and chatting with the system.

[I begged to be taken in because of my apprenticeship, but I didn't expect them to follow!It seems that my role as the leader of the beggar gang is quite popular. 】Jiang Yan couldn't laugh or cry,【Originally planned to be closer to the master, no matter where he slept, as long as he had the opportunity to contact him.Now it's self-defeating, and I'm arranged to sleep in the Datong bunk with everyone in the farthest empty hall. 】

Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows with a smile: 【How can I get close to this master? 】

The system said: 【You can go to him anytime. 】

Jiang Yan smiled and snapped his fingers: [It makes sense! 】

As a teacher, you have to take the initiative.Jiang Yanxiao's series of actions after coming to Fengcheng are all laying the foundation for getting acquainted with compassion and preparing for the follow-up apprenticeship.

After leaving Yunfu Mountain, Jiang Yanxiao deliberately summed up the experience of the first mission.Finally, the reasons for the success of apprenticeship are as follows:

One, take the initiative (shameless)

Second, persevere (stalker)

Third, make good use of skills (pretend to be good and poor)

Fourth, good cooking skills

Except for the fourth point, the benevolent sees benevolence and the wise sees wisdom, the first three points should be universal.Jiang Yanxiao wanted to see Compassionate, but appearing alone was too abrupt, and it was easy to be suspected of ulterior motives, so he simply mixed in with this group of victims, making the deliberate meeting look like a coincidence.

The villagers of Liuyang Village traveled around for days, and finally had a full meal, so they all lay in the empty temple to rest.

Jiang Yanxiao stood on tiptoe, jumping out of the temple like a dexterous cat jumping over the crowd.There were too many people in the temple, and no other voices could be heard. As soon as he left the temple, the Sanskrit sound from the top of the mountain was like the ripples produced by a stone thrown into the lake, swaying into Jiang Yanxiao's ears.

Jiang Yanxiao followed the Sanskrit sound through the mountains and forests, skipped the vermilion wall and the inner courtyard of the Golden Temple, and quickly found the place of compassion——

The ancient trees are towering, and the sandalwood is lingering.Like the current Buddhist temple, the main hall of Enci Temple enshrines a golden statue of Sakyamuni.There is a lotus platform outside the main temple. Cixin is wearing a red cassock, sitting on the high platform, clasping his hands together, reciting sutras with his eyes closed:

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, if you practice the deep prajna paramita for a long time, you will see that all five aggregates are empty, and you will overcome all hardships."

"Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form, form is emptiness, emptiness is form, and the same is true for thinking and knowing..."

His voice was warm and smooth, like a clear brook, gurgling water, with a strange power, which made the monks present have no distracting thoughts, and the mind produced the Dharma.

Jiang Yanxiao hid behind the rich family, and after listening for a long time, he only understood the sentence "Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form".Seeing the monks falling into meditation one after another amidst the sound of chanting sutras, Jiang Yan smiled and walked to the outermost floor, chose a tall monk, and sat down in the shadow behind him.

In this way, others can't find him, but compassion can definitely notice him.

Sure enough, although Ci Xin closed her eyes and chanted sutras, the moment Jiang Yanxiao appeared, his voice also paused for a moment.

Jiang Yan smiled and calmed down, pretending not to know anything on the surface, sitting cross-legged, not looking at compassion.

The Dharma field was peaceful, except for the rustling of the wind caressing the leaves and the compassionate chanting, there was no sound at all.

Jiang Yan listened for a while with a smile, but he really didn't understand. He was afraid that he would fall asleep, so he opened his eyes and looked at the back of the head of the monk in front of him.

[It’s really bright, like a light bulb. 】Jiang Yan smiled and said to the system, 【I just don't know if it feels good in the hand. 】

System: [It's okay, after you touch yourself after shaving, you'll know what it feels like. 】

Jiang Yanxiao finished observing the backs of other people's heads, and then looked at the compassion on the lotus platform.

[Master looks so good-looking,] Jiang Yan said with a smile, [To be honest, I have never seen a monk who looks like this. 】

The system almost blurted out and asked: Then, which one do you think is better-looking, Comparing Ci Xin and Li Xuanqing?Fortunately, he responded in a timely manner and didn't say anything, so as not to poke Jiang Yanxiao's sore spot, he was afraid he would explode.

It was probably because the voice of compassionate chanting was too gentle and pleasant, Jiang Yanxiao listened to it, his consciousness took time out, and he fell asleep on the spot.

He had a messy dream.

What appeared in the dream were scattered pictures and fragments—sometimes a slender hand holding a sword flashed, and sometimes a pair of cold phoenix eyes flashed.There are also the icy ribs between the eyebrows, the pale and bloodless lips...

All kinds of illusions flash and dissipate, and finally freeze on a shiny bald gourd.

"Little benefactor, wake up."

A gentle voice pulled him out of the dream.

Jiang Yan opened his eyes with a smile, and jumped three feet high!

"Master!" Jiang Yanxiao quickly raised his sleeve to wipe off the saliva on his lips, "I actually fell asleep?!"

"Well," said Ci Xin, "I saw that you were tired, so I didn't wake you up."

Jiang Yanxiao looked around in a daze—the setting sun sank into the horizon, dyeing the sky orange.Except for the compassion standing beside him, the other monks in the practice field were nowhere to be seen.

Looking at it this way, he slept for at least two full hours!

Falling asleep after listening to scriptures is not something glorious after all.Jiang Yan smiled to hide his embarrassment, and said following the words of compassion: "I'm sorry...I haven't rested for a few days..."

"Nothing." Ci Xin handed him a brand new set of monk robes, "Your clothes... go and change."

Jiang Yan smiled: "...?"

He looked down at himself and took a deep breath—for some reason, the hole in his sackcloth was getting bigger and bigger, revealing a large piece of pale skin on his waist and inner thighs, which was simply indecent!

Jiang Yanxiao hurriedly pulled down the sackcloth, and finally covered her legs, but her waist was exposed more: "Okay, okay, thank you master!"

Jiang Yanxiao thought it was nothing at first, and he got used to it if he missed it.But being stared at by compassion like this, he felt extremely awkward, his face was getting hotter and hotter, so he quickly took it and ran away.

Jiang Yanxiao found a secluded side room, quickly took off his sackcloth, changed into a monk's robe, tidied up the chicken nest head, and tied it up again with a hair tie.

He walked out of the side room and went to look for the well again.Wandering around to no avail, Jiang Yanxiao returned to the main hall of Enci Temple, intending to ask about compassion.When he ran back to the main hall, he just caught a glimpse of Ci Xin's back, glanced to the right, and found a well in the grove.

Jiang Yan called out "Master" with a smile, and ran to the well to fetch water to wash his face without waiting for Compassionate to answer.

He planned to wash himself clean, and go to see Ci Xin with this lovable baby face, to earn back some impression points.

When Ci Xin packed up the scriptures and walked towards him, Jiang Yanxiao had just finished cleaning.

He wiped off the water droplets on his face with his hands, and with a round face dripping with water, he grinned at Ci Xin: "Master!"

"—Clap!"

The scroll in Ci Xin's hand fell to the ground.

Jiang Yanxiao hurriedly knelt down to pick up the scriptures, slandering while picking them up, could it be that his appearance does not conform to the aesthetics of compassion and scares him?

Ci Xin was stunned for a moment, then bent down to pick up the scriptures.

Jiang Yan glanced away with a smile, and found that his arm was trembling slightly.

"Dare to ask the little benefactor...what's his name?"

The two bent down and looked at each other at the same time.I don't know if it's an illusion, but Jiang Yanxiao read a turbulent undercurrent from Ci Xin's usually calm eyes.

But after a while, the undercurrent was hidden in the bottom of the eyes, the two stood up straight, and everything returned to normal.

"Xiao Zichu," Jiang Yan revealed his pseudonym with a smile, "Master Compassionate, I have admired you for a long time."

The author has something to say: The scriptures are excerpted from the "Moco Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra".If there are any inaccuracies in the overhead text and religion, I hope everyone will bear with me.I am just like Xiaoxiao, and I have exhausted all my life's knowledge orz
