The playwright school grass is also pestering me today

He Du and Second Master looked at each other.

Shen Yu petrified on the spot, carefully looking at the expression of the second master.

The second master didn't have obvious emotions on his face, but he was very calm, with surprise in his calm.

He was silent for about ten seconds before he said, "You two are going down the mountain?"

"Ah... yes." He Du was also taken aback for a moment before replying, "I'll send him back to rest."

"Okay." The second master said, his eyes turned to Shen Yu, and then he was taken aback, "Scholar Shen?"

Shen Yu was also taken aback, and asked in disbelief, "Do you recognize me?"

"Of course I recognize you." The second master finally recovered the expression that belonged to the eminent monk, showing a kind smile, "Ten years ago, you came to the temple every day, and the young people in the temple have a very good relationship with you. "

Shen Yu's heart warmed for a while, but she also felt guilty.

There is a feeling that others treat you well, but you abduct other people's "sons".

"In the past two days, the temple is preparing for the blessing ceremony. According to the rules, pilgrims are not accepted. Why did you bring people into the temple?" The second master seemed to feel Shen Yu's embarrassment, so he didn't say anything to him, and asked He Du instead .

The tone was very gentle, but Shen Yu was guilty, and it always sounded like there was a knife hidden in a smile.

"He came to help prepare for the ceremony. Today, we built the incense stand together." He Du answered fluently, but he was too nervous.

"That's it." Second Master nodded, noncommittal, "Layman Shen will come back tomorrow?"

"If Master has no objection, I would like to bring him here." He Du summoned up his courage and said, "Shen Yu is bored here alone, and there is a shortage of manpower for the preparation of the prayer meeting. He can help a lot."

The second master was silent for a while and said, "That's fine. But in Baishui Temple, you must abide by the law."

This was undoubtedly because the behavior just now was a wake-up call to them, He Du immediately nodded and said, "Of course, Master, don't worry."

Then the second master smiled again: "It's getting late, you can send Layman Shen down the mountain to rest first. Come back and find me for evening class."

"Yes." He Du bowed his head.

The second master didn't say anything more, and went up the mountain with the things in his hands, but it was not until his back disappeared at a bend that He Du and Shen Yu finally recovered from the petrified state, and they both let out a sigh of relief.

"My God." He Du sighed weakly, stretched out his hand to support Shen Yu's shoulder, and shrank back like an electric shock.

"Will it be serious?" Shen Yu looked at him worriedly.

Shen Yu was not very worried about being broken by the second master. After all, he didn't know the second master, but He Du's side... the second master's "evening class" made Shen Yu very worried.

A bunch of messy images of dungeons, lynchings, etc. have already appeared in my mind...

"I don't know either." He Du sighed, "This is the first time I have encountered such a thing."

"Then you still want to meet someone else?" Shen Yu glared at him.

He Du was amused by this sentence, and wanted to reach out to touch his head, but retracted halfway.

The psychological shadow is okay.

Until they returned to the hotel, the two of them didn't say anything. Although the second master didn't show anything just now, He Du was obviously still worried, and his expression continued to be dignified.

In any case, it was embarrassing to be caught kissing by the teacher, and it was still with the same sex... or a child who knew the teacher.

Just thinking about it, Shen Yu felt embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground, not to mention He Du who had to go to "evening class" soon.

Originally, the two of them were talking about having a meal together, but He Du didn't have much appetite now, so he bought two roujiamo from the stall downstairs of the hotel and just finished eating.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." He Du said to Shen Yu, his tone was still very gentle, "Don't oversleep."

"Don't worry." Shen Yu looked at him worriedly, "You... If you have anything to do later, remember to contact me."

"Okay." He Du curled his lips, "If I am driven out of Baishui Temple, I will come here to join you."

"This joke is not funny at all." Shen Yu forced herself to twitch her lips.

"This kind of thing won't really happen." He Du smiled, and patted Shen Yu's head comfortingly, "Trust me, the masters are very nice."

Shen Yu didn't understand why it was He Du who comforted him in the end, but he was really comforted by He Du.After thinking about it, he said, "If you have anything to do, you must report to me."

"Okay." He Du said.

He Du left the hotel at 200:[-] pm. During the three hours from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm, Shen Yu was fidgeting and ordered a takeaway for about [-] yuan, but after a few mouthfuls, he threw it aside tastelessly, leaving all the TV on the table. I went through all the stations, watched the whole news broadcast by the way, and then ate chicken to give away points.

At [-]:[-], He Du finally sent a message.

- Good, I'm fine.

Shen Yu let out a long breath, and before he even had time to entangle with He Du, "Why do you use such an intimate title of 'good'", he replied immediately.

- told you something

- Just asked me how I was doing in college this year, telling me not to mess around and be responsible to others.

Then He Du followed with a heart-throwing expression.

Shen Yu: ...

Second Master, although you are surprisingly good at speaking, you are not thinking too much!

Then He Du sent another message.

-Okay, don't think too much, I'll pick you up early tomorrow.good night~

-Um.Good night.

-

He Du put away the phone and handed it back to the Second Master.

There was only He Du and the second master in the huge Buddhist hall. He Du was kneeling on the futon, and the second master was sitting cross-legged on the side, looking at him.

"You are a layman. As a teacher, you shouldn't control these things, let alone impose punishment on you." The second master said, "But you live in Baishui Temple all year round, and you are considered a half-practice. As a teacher, you must deal with it according to the rules. .”

"Disciple understands." He Du looked at the wall.

The second master had a soybean oil lamp by his hand, and the flames reflected on the dark wall, distorting and distorting the shadows of him and the second master, looking a little strange.

"As a teacher, I didn't punish you because of Shen Yu's gender." The second master said, "It's just that practitioners pay attention to ethics. Even between a man and a woman, if there is no marriage certificate, you can't do indecent things. The two of you All of them are men, according to the current law it is impossible to have a marriage certificate, so I can only punish you as a teacher."

"Disciple understands." He Du said again, "Disciple is willing."

The second master was silent for a while, and then said: "Six years ago, you asked me what to do if I thought about someone every day. At that time, I told you, if after a while, you still have the same thought, go back to study." .”

"Yes." He Du said.

"Was it him then?" Second Master asked.

He Du suddenly turned his head, the second master's face flickered under the flames of the oil lamp, He Du hesitated and did not answer.

The second master smiled: "Don't be so nervous, my question is just my selfishness as an elder, if you don't want to answer it, then you don't have to answer it."

The second master used "I" instead of "being a teacher". Although the atmosphere in this Buddhist hall made He Du a little nervous, facing the second master who had watched him grow up since he was a child, He Du was both a teacher and an elder. Not to hide.

"It's him." He Du said.

Second Master sighed lightly.

He Du stared at the wall in front of him, not daring to look at Second Master's expression.

I don't know how long it took before the second master said: "It's easy to be brave, but it's rare to have a long-term mind. It's a good thing that you have such a long-term nature."

He Du froze, he turned his head to look at Second Master in surprise.

He knows this sentence... Doesn't it seem to be criticizing him?

"About the views on homosexuality, Buddhism is generally divided into two schools." The second master continued, "One school believes that homosexuality violates the original intention of 'procreation/communication' and is evil/sexuality, even for lay people. One of the five precepts is karma. The other school believes that all beings have feelings, and the core of emotion is never the object, but the desire/desire itself. Whether it is for the same sex or the opposite sex, emotion cannot be avoided. There is no difference between the sacred and the sinful. .”

Having said that, Second Master stopped to look at He Du, He Du held his breath and looked at Second Master nervously.

"I am the latter type." Second Master said.

He Du's whole body went limp, his tense strings suddenly relaxed, and he felt like crying a little bit.

Even though he has always faced his emotions with a calm attitude, he has always thought that he is alone on this road, until the moment the second master said these words.

"But you should also know that in the eyes of most people, whether they are monks or lay people, homosexuality is a sin." Second Master said, "If you choose this path, you will encounter many difficulties."

"I know that it has been like this for the past seven years, and it will be like this in the future." He Du met the second master's gaze and said firmly, "I have no regrets."

The second master smiled slightly and proclaimed the Buddha's name.

"Subjecting distracted minds and focusing on one place is 'concentration'. Once your mind is settled, you won't talk too much as a teacher. It's just that as I said just now, punishment is inevitable. As a practitioner, you have passion/desire in your heart. You have a firm mind and a clear understanding of yourself, as a teacher, you must be severely punished."

"Yes." He Du said calmly.

"You will be fined to recite the "Heart Sutra" five thousand times, and you will not be allowed to leave the confinement room until you finish the recitation," said the second master.

He Du was taken aback for a moment, of course he could memorize the Heart Sutra, but five thousand times?Although the Heart Sutra only has more than 200 words, it will take a day and a night to recite it five thousand times. He also promised to pick up Shen Yu tomorrow morning. This...

"As your master, I just watched you step into the sea of ​​suffering and refused to reach out to help. I also violated the precepts and should be punished together with you." The second master said, "The five thousand times of the "Heart Sutra" will be recited by you and me together. Recite, divide the sins equally."

He Du's throat was sore, [-] times, exactly a whole night.

The second master pulled his futon to the wall, and sat facing the wall devoutly. He Du also sat down in the same way. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his childhood.

At that time, he didn't know what a colorful world was, and he didn't know what liking was. He sat in the treasure hall with his master, second master and the monks in the temple, and chanted scriptures with palms together.

The candle is flickering, and it has been more than ten years in the blink of an eye.

The second master clasped his palms together and began to chant, He Du immediately closed his eyes to get rid of distracting thoughts.

In the dimly lit Buddhist hall, only the low voice of chanting sutras can be heard for a while, together with the scent of sandalwood that lingers in the room, lingering in the night.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, when practicing the deep Prajna Paramita for a long time, sees that the five aggregates are all empty, and overcomes 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... "
