[2333,] Jiang Yanxiao called the system name directly for the first time, [Why didn't you say it earlier?Do you have to wait until I finish copying a piece of paper before reminding me? 】

The system is a little wronged: [Smile, you are on a mission, the host didn't ask, we can't remind you at will. 】

【All right. 】Jiang Yan put down the pen with a smack, and was about to knead it into a ball. After thinking about it, he put it down again.

System: [Are you going to endorse? 】

[How is it possible,] Jiang Yan said with a smile, [Do I look like someone who gives up easily? 】

[The big deal is to write slowly and write bigger, practice makes perfect, and one day I will finish copying. 】

Anyway, endorsement is impossible.Jiang Yanxiao picked up the pen again, stroked the tip of the pen, tidied up the messy hair, dipped it in ink, and began to copy the Sanskrit on the Buddhist scriptures.

This time, Erjiang Yanxiao learned smarter, and the characters written were three times larger than before, and they were square and neatly arranged, trying to enlarge the original characters in the same proportion.

Every time he writes a word, he has to ask the system: [Can you recognize it? 】

System: [... yes. 】

This back and forth question and answer, toss a whole afternoon.Jiang Yanxiao finally completed eight "copybooks".

[All recognition is successful, a total of 240 characters. 】The system reports the final statistics.

Jiang Yanxiao put down the pen, and the tip of the pen was completely bald: [A piece of three crosses, haha, I did it! 】

Although the number of words on each piece of rice paper was pitifully small, Jiang Yanxiao managed to complete a small part of the task, and the effort was not in vain.He happily folded eight sheets of rice paper and pressed them down with an inkstone.Just as he was thinking about what to do with this waste pen, a familiar voice came from outside the window.

"Zi Chu."

"Pa-ta", Jiang Yan shook his hand with a smile, and the pen fell to the ground.

Ci Xin's voice is very close, it must be outside the house, her tone is sure, obviously knowing that he is in the house.It was too late for Jiang Yanxiao to hide the rice paper, so he simply bent down to pick up the pen, and ran over to open the door for Ci Xin: "Master!"

Jiang Yanxiao's room faces south, and it's almost dusk at this time, the golden sunset slanted in from the window lattice, falling on the table, a mottled golden shadow.

When Jiang Yanxiao opened the wooden door, the setting sun suddenly leaked in and sprinkled on Ci Xin's face.His face also seemed to be dyed with a faint golden light, and his eyelashes and the bridge of his nose cast a small shadow. At first glance, he looked like a statue bathed in Buddha's light.

Jiang Yan laughed and choked for breath, then listened to Ci Xin and said, "Can I come in?"

Jiang Yan smiled: "Of course!"

Ci Xin stepped in, Jiang Yanxiao closed the door, only to find that Ci Xin was still carrying a box.

Seems like a food box.

He went straight to the table, put down the food box, and naturally saw the three Buddhist scriptures, an inkstone, and a stack of rice paper under it.

"What is this?" Ci Xin paused and said, "Zi Chu... are you copying Buddhist scriptures?"

Jiang Yan smiled: "Yes, yes."

Since it is inevitable to be discovered, it is better to admit it generously.Jiang Yanxiao raised the inkstone, took out the rice paper and handed it to Ci Xin, and looked at him with bright eyes: "Master, I don't have enough comprehension to understand the scriptures, so I thought copying might help to understand."

"This is the result of my copying all afternoon." Jiang Yan said with a smile, "What do you think of my copying?"

Ci Xin took the rice paper, flipped through it one by one, was silent for a moment, and said, "...Zi Chu can understand Sanskrit?"

"I don't understand." Jiang Yan smiled confidently, "I heard that Buddhism originated from the Western Regions, and the original text on the Buddhist scriptures is Sanskrit. Since you want to copy, you must copy the original version, so as to be closer to the Buddha."

Compassion: "Then... you may understand the profound meaning?"

Jiang Yanxiao froze for a moment, then shook his head in distress.

"...you." Ci Xin looked at the dumbfounded Jiang Yan and smiled, pursed her lips, and laughed silently.

The next moment, he stretched out his hand and patted Jiang Yanxiao's head lightly.

"...!" This time, Jiang Yanxiao was really stunned.

[A man's head, a woman's waist, you can only look at it, not touch it! ] Jiang Yan laughed and slandered, [In the eyes of the master, I am just a child? 】

Seeing his astonished expression, his compassionate smile grew wider: "Zi Chu, let's eat first. I'll talk to you while you eat."

After finishing speaking, Cixin opened the food box, took out the bowls and chopsticks, filled them for Jiang Yanxiao herself, and handed them to him.

Jiang Yan thanked him repeatedly with a smile, and when his eyes fell on the food box, his pupils shrank.

【system!what do i see ! 】Jiang Yan laughed incredulously, 【...Braised pork? ! 】

The aroma of meat and rice came from the steaming heat.Jiang Yanxiao took a deep breath, lowered his head to eat, and covered his face.

Just now when Cixin opened the food box, he realized that something was wrong. Now that he looked at it, it was indeed the case—this food box has four layers. The first layer is the delicious braised pork!

Although it was just an ordinary home-cooked dish, Jiang Yanxiao was stunned. As we all know, Cixin is a monk. As the abbot of Jokhang Enci Temple, he must be strict with himself and never go beyond the rules.It was fine on the road before, but now when he returns to the Jokhang Enci Temple, he can still bring him meat to eat...

【Master, is this giving me a little trouble? 】Jiang Yanxiao was overwhelmed by flattery, 【This is... too flattering. 】

[With all due respect, if I am a straight girl and the master is not a monk, I will definitely not marry him! 】

system:【……】

Soon, Jiang Yanxiao discovered that Compassionate's "opening a small fire" was more than that.

Jiang Yan smiled and ate while he was beside him explaining scriptures for Jiang Yan.

The slender fingers flipped through the scriptures, and a gentle voice sounded in his ears:

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, practice the deep prajna paramita for a long time. The meaning of the first sentence is that one should leave the realm and observe the mind, break away from the three worlds and six dusts, and only observe the original mind."

"Consider the mind and there is no mind, the mind is empty and the environment is silent, all dharmas are like illusions, and all dharmas are at ease..."

Coincidentally, what Jiang Yanxiao got was a Sanskrit "Heart Sutra".He once listened to Ci Xin's recitation in Fengcheng. At that time, he could not understand it and fell asleep. Now listening to Ci Xin deliberately slowing down and explaining it carefully, he felt gradually enlightened.

"Master, what is 'Prajna'?" Jiang Yan said with a smile, "Does it mean 'wisdom'?"

Compassionately nodded: "It is the wisdom of all living beings."

Jiang Yan smiled: "Then what is 'paramita'?"

Compassionate heart: "Overcoming the sea of ​​life and death, to the other side of Nirvana, is the 'paramita'."

……

With a thin copy of the "Heart Sutra", Compassion explained it for half an hour, and Jiang Yanxiao also listened to it for half an hour.This was the first time he "listened" so seriously, not only did he understand, but he was also fascinated and understood.

This feeling is very mysterious, as if the heart has completely calmed down, wandering in the boundless sea of ​​Buddha... Jiang Yanxiao completely forgot himself, not only did not notice the passage of time, but also did not notice that the compassionate heart was talking and stopped.

"...Zi Chu."

A gentle call pulled Jiang Yanxiao out of that world, Jiang Yanxiao blinked, and looked at Cixin in confusion: "...Master, am I asleep?"

But it doesn't feel like it.

Looking at him with a compassionate smile: "No, you are in meditation."

"In samadhi?" Jiang Yan smiled and opened his eyes wide, "...I just entered samadhi?!"

"Well," Ci Xin said, "Not only have you understood the scriptures, but you have also realized something else, and that's how you enter meditation unconsciously."

Jiang Yan was pleasantly surprised in his heart, straightened up quickly, and saluted Ci Xin: "Thank you, Master!"

"You're welcome, it seems that Zi Chu is not as savvy as you said." Compassionately looked at Jiang Yan and smiled, his eyes were full of smiles and admiration, "On the contrary, you are very smart, and you are as wise as a fool. As long as you teach properly, you will be successful in the future." become."

What Jiang Yan said was full of joy.He had never received such a high evaluation in his previous life.What his teachers often say is "this kid is a little smart, but it's a pity that he doesn't work hard." When he was admitted to a good university with his "smartness", the former teacher said that he was lucky...

There is only compassion, which affirmed him at the beginning, praised him when he doubted himself, and explained Buddhist scriptures to him tirelessly.

"Master." Jiang Yanxiao shouted again, "If you are a teacher, you must be the best teacher in the world."

Although I don't know why you are so kind to a person you met by chance... But Jiang Yanxiao doesn't care about all kinds of behind-the-scenes things. He only knows that this is his blessing and a shortcut for him to complete the task.

Then, the master favors him so much... can he be proud of his favor?

The moon hung high outside the window, and a little bird appeared out of nowhere, chirping a few times, and flew up to the treetops against the moonlight and evening wind.Jiang Yanxiao no longer hesitated, fixed his eyes on the compassionate eyes, and asked that sentence with the most sincere and serious attitude:

"Master, do you need an apprentice?"

Compassionately froze.

The two looked at each other quietly for a moment, and Ci Xin took the lead to look away.

"...Zi Chu, I have no plans to accept disciples." Ci Xin looked at him again, with a slight apology in her eyes, "But, if you want, I can..."

His lips moved, but he didn't say the second half of the words after all.

Jiang Yanxiao waited for a long time, but the compassion still didn't finish.He only said "not planning to accept disciples", which Jiang Yanxiao never expected.

He thought that it would be easy for the two of them to establish a master-student relationship because Compassionate was so kind to him and so close.Didn't expect Ci Xin to have other plans, to listen to him, not to accept disciples, but to give him another identity?

[Master wouldn't think of me as a godson, would he? 】Jiang Yan smiled and said to the system, 【You see, he stopped talking halfway through, he must feel that he is too young, and it is a bit of a disadvantage for him to recognize his son. 】

The system said: [Do you want to recognize you as a godbrother? 】

Jiang Yan smiled: [...It's possible! 】

One person, one system made random guesses, Jiang Yan said with a smile: [It doesn't matter if his son, brother or nephew is young, anyway, we will definitely become a master-student relationship in the end. 】

Although everything went very smoothly before, Jiang Yanxiao always remained vigilant - this task of apprenticeship may not go on smoothly forever.Therefore, even if Compassionately rejected him tactfully, Jiang Yanxiao was not discouraged and just kept going.

After finishing the half of the sentence, Ci Xin lowered her eyes, making Jiang Yanxiao unable to see his expression clearly.The two were silent for a while, and a faint embarrassment spread in the air.Jiang Yanxiao was about to say something to ease, Ci Xin stood up, with a normal face and said: "It's getting late, I'll stop here today."

"Zi Chu, you should rest earlier."

The two tacitly did not mention what happened just now, Jiang Yan said with a smile: "Will Master come tomorrow?"

"...Well," Ci Xin said, "If you have any questions, Zi Chu can come to me at any time."

"Master is busy with affairs during the day, so I have the nerve to bother you." Jiang Yan said with a smile, "I think, why don't I go find you tomorrow morning."

Ci Xin was stunned for a moment, the corners of her lips raised: "...Okay."

After Ci Xin left, Jiang Yanxiao went to the warehouse to change a pen, and returned to continue copying.

[I have memorized everything the master said today.Sure enough, you can recite it only after you understand it," Jiang Yan said with a smile, "In this way, recitation doesn't seem to be completely unfeasible. 】

The system heard the rustling sound of paper and pen rubbing against each other: 【Then you still copy? 】

Jiang Yan smiled: [I have already copied eight copies, and it would be a pity to stop, it is better to be prepared with both hands, whichever is faster will be the one. 】

He copied ten more sheets, folded the rice paper and pressed it under the inkstone, then washed and went to sleep.

A good night's dream.

On the second day, at dawn, Jiang Yanxiao woke up.

Since he completed the foundation building in Yunfu Mountain and cultivated the golden elixir, his physical fitness has improved a lot compared to his previous life. Not only can he fast, but his need for sleep has also decreased a lot.

After Jiang Yanxiao put on his monk's robe, put on his monk's shoes, and took care of his long hair that was sleeping like a chicken coop, the sun just came up.

He gently opened the door, took a deep breath of fresh air, and prepared to find compassion.

There is a monk's room on the left and right, with gray walls and yellow tiles, square and square, and there is no difference between them.Jiang Yanxiao first walked to the right, looked with his head, and confirmed that it was not, then walked to the left and stopped in front of Cixin's room.

The door of this monk's room was not closed, nor was the window closed.The skylight poured in, illuminating the room much brighter. Jiang Yan smiled and saw Compassionate sitting on the wooden bed. Eyes, a very faint smile on his lips.

The morning sun was like a veil, gently penetrated through the window lattice and the door, and fell on Ci Xin, as if covering him with a cassock.

Jiang Yan smiled and held his breath.

He knew it was inappropriate to disturb the master at this moment, but for some reason, Jiang Yanxiao didn't control his feet, and walked in quietly step by step.

He stopped in front of Cixin, looked at Cixin's handsome and compassionate face, and thought in a trance, the master is really like a statue enshrined at home.

Suddenly, he stretched out his hand, went around behind Ci Xin, and touched the back of his head very lightly and quickly.

[Wow, the bald head feels good! 】

Less than half a second after this idea came up, the Buddha statue in front of him moved suddenly.

Ci Xin grasped Jiang Yanxiao's troubled hand, and looked at him amusedly: "...Zi Chu."

His eyes were full of smiles, without any trace of blame.Jiang Yan smiled back to his senses, not afraid, and said boldly: "Good morning, Master! I'm here to find you."

"I've always liked a bald head. I think it's convenient and cool. I just don't know what it feels like," Jiang Yan said with a smile, "I just saw you in samadhi, and I couldn't help it, so I touched it...just one touch."

Compassionately said: "Naughty."

Jiang Yan smiled: "It's not what you're used to."

Such as Li Xuanqing, Compassionate Heart and other great powers in the world, there is no need to deliberately rest at night, just sit and forget or meditate.Meditate with compassion for one night, and it's time to wake up.It just so happened that Jiang Yan arrived with a smile as promised, got off the bed with compassion, and smiled at Jiang Yan: "Zi Chu, come with me."

Jiang Yanxiao followed him out.

"Master, are we not going to lecture on scriptures today?"

"Tell me," said Ci Xin, "but I want to take you to a place first."

The two came to the back mountain of Jokhang Enci Temple.The morning sun penetrated the mist in the forest, like beams of light descending from the sky. There was no one in the dense forest, only the slight sound of wind and crisp birdsong.

Jiang Yan said with a smile: "The master wants to bring me to the back mountain?"

Compassionately said: "No, it's entering the pagoda."

He took out the exquisite and small pagoda from his sleeve, placed it on the palm of his hand, and silently recited a series of incantations in a low and slow voice.

"Zi Chu, did you hear me clearly?"

Jiang Yan smiled: "Yes!"

Although he can't memorize books and doesn't have a golden finger that can't forget, but as long as it involves spells and incantations, he can usually learn them easily, and he can draw inferences from one instance and integrate them.

Compassionately said: "Give me your hand."

Jiang Yanxiao stretched out his hand obediently, and was held by compassion.Ci Xin stretched out her index finger and drew a "卍" on the palm of his hand.

Jiang Yan smiled and felt itchy.

"Master... what is this?"

"Golden Light Seal."

As soon as the words fell, the Dharma Seal was radiant, and the overlapping palms of the two aimed at the top of the Stupa, and recited the spell at the same time.

With the golden light blinding his eyes, Jiang Yanxiao's body was lifted up by a sudden gust of wind.By the time he reacted, he had disappeared in the same place and entered the pagoda.

"This is...the Stupa?!"

Jiang Yanxiao couldn't believe his eyes—according to his original idea, the Buddha Pagoda was similar to the Demon Locking Pagoda, in which hundreds of demons and ghosts were imprisoned, and there must be layers of restraints. It was a claustrophobic and dark prison.

Looking at it now, he almost thought he had entered the Western Paradise!

I saw a round of golden sun hanging high on the top of the tower, under the universal light of Buddha, the [-]-story tower surrounded by a white jade ladder.

There are no restrictions, no prison cells, only the lingering Sanskrit sounds, the spring-like scenery and the never-setting sun.

There are grotesque monsters in twos and threes, some are walking in the garden, some are rolling on the grass, and some are sunbathing on a stone with their belly open.

They were loose, wandering around, yelling at each other from time to time, as if they were communicating.Seeing a newcomer coming to the tower, I didn't care, I still enjoyed myself, shaking my head, feeling very comfortable.

Jiang Yan smiled: "..."

These ferocious beasts had a better life than him!

Seeing Jiang Yan laughing, Ci Xin was dumbfounded, her jaw almost fell off, and her eyes rolled.

A smiling voice sounded from the side: "Want to hear what they are saying?"

Jiang Yan smiled and nodded.

Ci Xin recited another series of mantras, saying: "Zi Chu, come here."

When Jiang Yanxiao repeated the incantation, a burst of noisy voice hit his ears.

"The weather here is really nice. It doesn't blow or rain, and it's like spring all the year round," a golden cat lay on a huge rain flower stone to bask in its back, and said to its companion, "I don't want to go out anymore, I'm just here to eat and die." Pretty good too."

On another stone, a nine-headed bird is shaking its neck, using one of its beaks to clean the hair on the other head: "That's right! I said this place is very suitable for retirement! Ever since the demon king got mad, Many monsters escaped from the Demon Realm and caused trouble outside. The unlucky ones died in the hands of the monks, and the lucky ones, like us, were collected into the Buddha Tower by Master Compassionate, so we no longer have to live in fear."

"Yes, yes, when I was caught by the master, I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect a turnaround! Not only did I meet old friends here, but I also lived such a fairy life!"

Jiang Yan smiled: "..."

After listening for a while, it was mainly a few chatterboxes who praised Compassion Heart and Futu Pagoda in different ways, while most of the beasts kept silent with dignity and played their own games.

Jiang Yan said with a smile: "Master, how long will the Buddha Tower keep them locked up? Can these monsters go out in the future?"

Jiang Yanxiao didn't notice, but the big monsters who were close to him quietly pricked up their ears.

Ci Xin didn't seem to notice the small movements of the monsters, and smiled at Jiang Yan: "The crime is judged by the crime. The more serious the crime, the longer the time you stay in the tower."

Jiang Yan smiled: "How long is the shortest."

Compassion: "300 years."

Jiang Yan smiled: "..."

All the monsters and beasts: "..."

The praise stopped abruptly, and the golden beast let out a weeping sound.

"Roar---!!!" An ugly big head suddenly protruded from the side of the [-]th floor tower at the top, and the little boy who was on patrol bared his teeth and roared, and the whole pagoda shook three times.

Jin Yan trembled all over, stopped crying immediately, and continued to sing with the nine-headed bird: "Ah, it's really nice here..."

The nine-headed bird nodded madly: "Hmm!"

Jiang Yan smiled: "Hahahahahaha!"

He laughed mercilessly, and all the beasts around him looked at him and narrowed their eyes.

Ci Xin also looked at him: "Zi Chu, I brought you here today so that you can meet that devil dragon."

Magic dragon?

Without compassion, Jiang Yanxiao almost forgot about it.

"It not only harmed Liuyang Village, but also hurt you." Compassionately said, "How to deal with it is up to you."

After finishing speaking, Ci Xin took Jiang Yanxiao to a rose garden.Although there is no real sunshine, the roses in the altar are blooming very well.Blossoming pink roses are fluttering in the wind, looking from a distance, they look like a piece of pink clouds.

The magic dragon lay on the garden path.I don't know if it's a serious injury that hasn't healed, and I shrank into a ball, motionless, and didn't even respond to Jiang Yanxiao and the arrival of compassion.

This is just right.Jiang Yan glanced at it with a smile, but he didn't see the wound he had stabbed with the bamboo pole at the "seven inches" of the magic dragon, so he was a little determined.

"I heard that the master has infinite compassion and never kills," Jiang Yan said with a smile, "I was only slightly frightened, so I don't need to mention it."

"But," Jiang Yan's joke changed, "the villagers of Liuyang Village were homeless and almost died on the road, and even ate a villager who was planning to go out to report. Forgive me."

"I suggest, lock it here and let him repent and atone for his sins every day."

Compassion: "How long?"

"It's not long, it's not long," Jiang Yan said with a smile, "It's only 3000 years."

As soon as the words fell, the entire pagoda fell silent in an instant.The nine-headed bird stopped combing its feathers, the golden beast stopped praising it, and even the half-dream, half-awake, closed-eyed Wu Wu suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at the ferocious human being.

Except for a monster beast with an ox-tail lying flat in the rose bushes that was still sleeping soundly and purring loudly, the rest of the monsters turned their heads and focused their eyes on Jiang Yanxiao.

Mo Jiao, who had been pretending to be dead, couldn't hide it even more, and smiled with his back to Ci Xin and Jiang Yan, and opened his blood red eyes.

Amidst the Sanskrit sound, Jiang Yanxiao clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, you are so good."

After finishing speaking, he smiled at Compassionate Heart: "Master, am I correct in pronouncing this Buddha's name?"

Compassion: "..."

Now that Jiang Yanxiao has made a decision, compassion naturally follows him.

Before leaving the Pagoda, Jiang Yan smiled and pointed to the man who slept from head to toe not far from Mojiao, and asked Compassionate: "Master, what kind of monster is that?"

Compassionally said: "It's a nightmare."

"Nightmare? What did it do?"

"Swallowed many people's dreams and made them forget the past."

Jiang Yan nodded with a smile, and recited a series of mantras together with Compassionate Heart.

When it landed again, it was almost time.

The sun became hot and glaring, Jiang Yanxiao raised his hand to cover it, and smiled at Ci Xin with squinted eyes: "Master, you must have something else to do. It's better to move the lecture to night, so as not to delay the ritual."

Compassion: "Okay."

Jiang Yan smiled and said again: "However, before you go to work, I have a small request."

"Today, Master brought me to the Buddha Pagoda. I am very grateful and I like this tower very much. I just have nothing to do. If the Master trusts me, you might as well entrust me with the work related to the Buddha Pagoda, such as feeding the beasts. Read Buddhist scriptures to them..."

Jiang Yan smiled and listed several jobs that he guessed might exist.Every time she said one, the smile in Ci Xin's eyes deepened.

"Okay, if Zichu is willing, I will leave the feeding to you." Compassionately promised, he took out a narrow mouth white jade bottle from his sleeve, and handed it to Jiang Yanxiao.

Jiang Yanxiao took it with both hands, and looked at the bottle curiously.

"In the bottle is Jinqiongyu dew, which is taken from the dew condensed on the Buddha lotus stamen, and the fine nectar from the bodhi fruit." Compassionately said, "At noon every day, you can feed it once, take a willow branch, dip it in and sprinkle it out."

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Thank you, Master!"

After watching Ci Xin leave, he walked towards the monk's room while making some calculations in his heart.

[There are some things that cannot be missed at all. 】Jiang Yanxiao sighed with emotion at the system, 【In this way, I can meet that magic dragon again. 】

Seeing Jiang Yanxiao grow up little by little, not only the value of force continued to increase, but also learned to foresight.Feeling relieved, the system asked Jiang Yanxiao: [What are your plans? 】

Jiang Yan smiled and laughed: [Give me a big stick, and then a sweet date. 】

Although the magic dragon looks honest and doesn't dare to make trouble anymore, Jiang Yanxiao knows that it must remember the vengeance of the stick, and maybe it will talk about this experience with the "old friend" in prison, and finally pass it on to the little boy. There, I was informed by compassion.

So far, apart from the silly string of red, Jiang Yanxiao really hasn't met any demons who are easy to get along with.

And that Demon Lord who "suffered from madness"... He also needs to inquire again.After all, the more information related to this world he obtained, the better it would be for him to complete his mission.

Jiang Yanxiao held the porcelain vase and walked back to the monk's room humming a little tune.

As soon as the door was pushed open, something was wrong—the wooden window in front of the desk was wide open, and the desk was empty.

The Buddhist scriptures he copied are gone!
