Chapter 226 Jinshan Temple

When Tutu wrote a letter to comfort Bai Susu, an island in the Yangtze River was 44 meters above sea level, and the turbulent water carried the upstream sediment and rolled a wooden basin against the shore of the island.

The crying of the baby attracted the attention of the monks living in the Jinshan Temple on the island. One of the middle-aged monks rushed forward and grabbed the wooden basin that was about to be washed away by the current.

He took the baby less than one year old out of the tub, and murmured a Buddhist saying, "Amitabha, how could you have the heart to throw such a small child into the river!"

In such a turbulent river, let alone a small wooden basin, even a big boat that often crosses the river may capsize!
"Brother Zhe Shi, this child?" A monk who looked younger looked hesitantly at the baby in the middle-aged monk's arms.

"Ye Shi, I will explain it to the abbot. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and we, as monks, are even more so." Monk Zhe Shi explained to his junior brother.Although their Jinshan temple is not very popular, everyone can save a little and squeeze a mouthful of food for this child!

"Okay! This child is also predestined with the Buddha. He is safe and sound in such a turbulent water flow. I am afraid it is the instruction of the Buddha!" ​​Monk Ye Shi nodded. Their temples have always paid attention to a fate, and this child can fall into them. Such a remote temple can be regarded as destined for them.

One of the two monks carrying water down the mountain continued to carry the water on his shoulders, while the other hugged the baby, and the two went up the mountain one after the other.

The abbot of Jinshan Temple never expected that when two apprentices went down the mountain to fetch water, a baby would come out!
He took the baby from Monk Zhe Shi's arms, checked and found that it was a boy, and he was relieved.If it is a baby girl, they are not easy to take in.Although there are monks and nuns in the temple, they are pure monk temples. If it is a baby girl, there will be gossip.

The abbot pondered for a while, and after careful consideration, he said, "Since the child was picked up by the river, his nickname will be Jiang Liu'er. Let him be handed over to Hai Shi to raise him in the future!"

"Yes."

"Yes."

Zhe Shi and Ye Shi clasped their hands together and performed a Buddha ceremony to the abbot.

A young monk standing next to the abbot clasped his hands together and performed a Buddhist ritual, "Yes."

He is monk Haishi, he is only 20 years old now, he has never been married, let alone had a child, he never thought that he would have to live a life of nursing a child, it is a very mysterious life.
But I still took the baby from the abbot. After all, there are only four monks in the whole temple. Even he is young and strong! |ω`)
Time flies, Jiang Liu'er soon grows up to be ten years old, although he is only ten years old, but he is diligent and studious, and his understanding is extremely high!However, his fame spread far and wide at the age of ten, and the abbot of Jinshan Temple also took him under his command, shaved him and converted to Buddhism, and bestowed him with the dharma name: Xuanzang.

Although he was only ten years old, Xuanzang was born with beautiful features, red lips and white teeth. His compassionate and dignified expression made people admire him. He looked like a handsome man at a young age, which attracted many people in Runzhou who had not left the court or were married to other women. Women are crazy about him~
(Female from Runzhou: Aww! Xuanzang, I love you~~We will always be your fans~~ [crazy calling] Xuanzang: [eyes are like the sea of ​​stars, face is like a bright blue] I thank all the benefactors. So good, so good .)
Xuanzang knelt on the futon, holding a pen in his hand, and devoted himself to writing the "Lotus Sutra" silently. When he was young, he followed several brothers in the temple to read the scriptures. If you don't watch, you don't learn the style of non-sages.He is gifted and intelligent, and he has far surpassed the other four in the temple whether it is in copying Buddhist scriptures or reciting karma!And his character and integrity are different from ordinary children!Although he is young, he has the demeanor of Shakyamuni when he was young!

 Big Cat: If you don’t give tickets, I’ll wait for you to send the blades!
