Chapter 1383: Monks and laymen are left to their choice

Inexplicably, he silently lowered his head and played with his fingers, pretending not to see it.

The third master frowned slightly, and Zhizhen replied, "Please forgive the prince, Yuantong has forgotten all about the past." ”

The third master nodded, "Is there a wound on the head?" ”

Yuantong shook his head, "It's not an injury, it's my current Dao Master who sealed my memory." ”

"Why?" The third master asked.

Yuantong looked inexplicable, and saw that the senior brother pretended to be dead and refused to speak, so he continued, "After my Taoist master rescued me in Dengzhou, he learned about my life experience, so he decided to let me pretend to be a little Taoist priest and leave Dengzhou with him. But because Yuantong became a monk of the Ten, every move, word and deed carried the shadow of a Buddhist disciple, which was incompatible with the Daomen, so the Daomen master discussed with me and sealed my previous memory. ”

The inexplicable fingers played more happily, and it was obvious that the reason for what Yuantong said was not the whole truth.

The third master has dealt with the toothless dao chief, and knows that it is a person with a lot of personality, and sealing Yuantong's memory may be to help him hide his identity, but there must be something else.

The third master asked again, "Can your memory be recovered in the future?" ”

Yuantong nodded obediently, "Yes, the Daomen master said that the memory of sealing me will be unlocked after ten years." ”

"Why ten years?"

"The master of the Taoist Gate said that Yuantong has been studying Buddhism for ten years, and since he has followed him, he will enter the Taoist Gate for ten years." YTO has all questions to answer.

Zhizhen's face was calm when he heard this, and Du Tong was full of displeasure, but that old man was the life-saving benefactor of his junior brother, and he was not easy to pick on.

The third master and Yuantong analyzed the truth, "At what age did you start to practice Buddhism and recite Buddhist scriptures?" ”

Yuantong looked at the senior brother and the master. Du Tong's eyes lit up, "My junior brother only started learning when he was four years old!" ”

The round head nodded, and looked at the third master again.

The third master continued, "Since you have studied the Buddha for six years, you will enter the Taoist sect to practice for six years. You've been in the Dao Gate for three years now, right? ”

When he said this, the third master's gaze fell on inexplicable. Inexplicably replied, "It's been almost three years." ”

Dutong, who must be compared, began to count, "My junior brother was rescued by the Taoist chief of your sect on April 3 of the sixth year of Puhe, and today is May 14 of the first year of Chunde. Not almost three years, but three years, one month and eleven days. ”

Nodding inexplicably, "Senior Brother Dutong is reasonable, it's been three years." ”

The third master continued, "Let Yuantong be a Taoist priest for another two years, ten months and nineteen days, and let him recover his memory, and the inexplicable Taoist may be in charge?" ”

King Sheng doesn't want Yuantong to be a Taoist priest, but isn't he his ninth uncle? What's going on? Inexplicably, he still smiled, "Xiaodao can't be the master, I have to go back to Uncle Ming and ask his hometown to decide." ”

His uncle should be the head of the Toothless Dao, and the third master said again, "Master Zhizhen once told Yuantong that when he reaches the age of eighteen, he can be allowed to return to the world." Three years later, Yuantong was sixteen years old, and he walked for two more years after recovering his memory, as for the choice of monks, Taoists, and laymen after the age of eighteen, it should be up to him to decide, presumably Uncle Zun also thinks the same. ”

Zhizhen clasped his palms together, "Amitabha." "The implication: the prince is reasonable!

Du Tong grinned and showed his squirrel teeth, extremely happy, "In April of the third year of Chunde, the little monk and the master waited for the inexplicable senior brother and Yuantong's Taoist master to come in the Qing Temple of Nanshan Pass Town, and my master and apprentice will thank your party for saving Yuantong's life in person." ”

The third master also said, "The Guiyang View given by the first emperor in Nanshan Pass is also waiting for Uncle Ling and the inexplicable Taoist to come at any time, if the Taoist does not dislike it, you can settle down in the Guiyang Temple at that time." ”

Zhizhen recited the Buddha's name, "Amitabha." ”

smiled inexplicably, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, thank you for your kindness." ”

Three years later, Xiaocao was thirteen years old, and it was time for him to make his own decisions for life. The third master was very satisfied with today's arrangement, and got up to say goodbye.

After the third master is gone, the monks who have worked hard all day will also be ready to rest. Du Tong pulled over his junior brother, "Let's go, sleep with my senior brother tonight." ”

Before Yuantong could say anything, Zhizhen spoke, "Yuantong is in the same account with the inexplicable Taoist tonight. ”

Although Dutong was dissatisfied, he still let go of Yuantong. Zhizhen said gently, "Buddhism and Taoism are the same sect and different methods, vowing to cross the immeasurable beings of the Three Realms and eliminate all kinds of suffering in the world." Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, there has been no shortage of celebrities who have cultivated Buddhism and Taoism. Yuantong, since you have entered the Dao Gate, you have devoted yourself to cultivating the Tao in the past few years, don't ask about other things. ”

Although Yuantong had forgotten all about the past, he knew that this was the master who raised him and took risks all the way to the northwest for himself. He bowed with his palms together in a proper manner, "The disciple wrote it down." ”

The night was peaceful. Early in the morning of the second day, Dutong got up early and steamed two large pots of steamed buns, and after sending a large plate to the third master, the rest was put to dry, and after it was cold, he took it to his junior brother to eat on the road.

When Yuantong was up, Dutong was making potstickers. Yuan passed to greet the senior brother, and sat down to light the fire with great skill.

Du Tongman was reluctant, but he also listened to the master's admonition and stopped doing things in advance, "It's hot, and the steamed buns can't be long." Senior brother will paste a few millet cakes for you, which can be eaten for a few more days. If you are hungry, don't grieve yourself. Princess Sheng opened hundreds of cloth villages in Dazhou, and when you arrived at a place, you went to inquire about the three shops of Ayaluo, Nishang, and Cotton Mill, and went to report your degree, and you would have food and clothing. ”

Yuantong bowed his head in shame, "Senior brother, inexplicably Senior Brother is talking nonsense, and Du Mu is also a lie." I am not a disciple of Shangqing Palace. ”

No, Dutong regretted for a while, "It's okay, the Taoist family in the world." Since you are holding the degree of a disciple of the Shangqing Palace, you are a disciple of the Shangqing Palace. If you should go, Princess Sheng won't care about this little money. "My junior brother used to go to other people's houses to eat, but now it's nothing.

Yuantong's heart was weak, "This is not appropriate, right?" ”

Du Tong glared, "We are monks, and we originally ate a hundred family meals, what's wrong?" You see, when Master and I went to the northwest, didn't we have been eating the food of the Dingbei Army? ”

"Oh." Yuantong obediently responded.

Seeing that there was no one on the left and right, Du Tong rubbed his hands on the apron, took out a heavy purse and handed it to his junior brother, "You take these silvers, if you don't have food and can't find the shop in King Sheng's Mansion, buy something to eat by yourself and put it away." ”

"Senior Brother......

Du Tong glared, "Take it!" ”

The Taoist priests he has seen are all poor ghosts, one of them can't live better than the other, and the junior brother follows inexplicably, and he is a poor bastard at a glance.

"It's not as good as before, Master and I have a very good time in Nanshan Pass, and we don't have to eat and drink." Du Tong comforted his junior brother, and remembered that he had forgotten what happened before, so he opened his mouth and said, "Even if you enter the Dao Gate, this meat ring can't be opened, can you remember?" ”

Yuantong nodded hurriedly, "The master of the Daomen also said so, I am not allowed to touch the meat." ”

This is about the same, Du Tong touched his junior brother's round head, and only said one sentence in a thousand words, "When will you leave?" ”

Yuantong returned, "The inexplicable senior brother said that he would go to Kunlun Mountain and follow King Sheng and them on the road together, so that they can take care of it." ”

To Kunlun Mountain? Du Tong's eyes also rolled, he had never been to Kunlun before, or he would go back to lobby Master to go with him?
