Master Jingqing didn’t know the truth, but he nodded very straightforwardly and said, “Okay, Master Kongyin, I’ll help you out.”
Master Kongyin’s legs and feet were not very flexible, but he kept muttering excitedly: “Hurry, hurry…”
Jing Qing felt his body trembling and was even more shocked.
Kong Yin, who was over 120 years old, was, in the eyes of his junior, a truly enlightened monk. Even when talking about death just now, Kong Yin was able to remain calm andposed, without a trace of hypocrisy at all. Therefore, Jing Qing was even more puzzled as to what happened outside that could make Kong Yin so excited.
The two men pushed the door open and walked out. The novice monk outside was still struggling with his senior brother.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
When the elder brother saw Master Kongyining out with the support of Master Jingqing, he became even more furious and said to the novice monk, “Asshole! Instead of guarding the door properly, youe here and disturb Master’s meditation. Get out of here right now!”
Upon seeing this, Master Kongyin scolded in a low voice: “Yuancheng, shut up!”
Master Yuancheng said with a look of grievance, “Master, I… I’m afraid he will affect your debate with Master Jingqing…”
Master Kongyin waved his hand at him and ignored him. Instead, he immediately asked the novice monk, “Huaiyi, is there a girl outside the door?”<fn3450> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? F?ndNovel</fn3450>
“Yes, Master Abbot!” the novice monk said quickly, “She said she is Miss Zhengping and wants to see you.”
After receiving the confirmation, Master Kongyin’s face lit up with a childlike joy, and he quickly said to him, “Huaiyi, help me go to the main gate to greet him. Yuancheng, you take Master Jingqing back.”
Kong Yin knew most of Lin Wan’er (ni)’s affairs, and also knew that she had been avoiding being hunted by her enemies, so he didn’t dare to leave Jing Qing here. If he met Lin Wan’er (ni) and discovered her identity, it might be bad for her.
Master Andre had never expected that his master would actually go to meet a young girl. He was astonished, but immediately realized that he had wronged his junior brother Huai Yi, so he responded, “Okay, Master.”
Then he immediately bowed to Huaiyi and said, “Amitabha, Junior Brother Huaiyi, I apologize for my rudeness just now.”
For so many years, Kongyin has been devoted to Buddhism without any utilitarianism. This is also a very long and extremely effective screening process for the people around him.
Those disciples who were eager for quick sess or wanted to gain fame and fortune from him could not stand it and gave up halfway.
These people who have settled down may not have much talent in Buddhism, but basically, like Kongyin, they can achieve true unity of knowledge and action.
So when I realize that I am wrong, I will admit it immediately and not make any excuses for myself.
The novice monk Huaiyi also returned the greeting: “Amitabha, it was just a misunderstanding, it’s over. Brother Yuancheng was doing this for the abbot.”
After that, he turned to Master Kongyin and said, “Master Abbot, Miss Zhengping said that you are old and you must not go to pick her up in person. She can juste in and see you.”
Kong Yin hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, “Then Huaiyi, you go and invite that youngdy in. You must be respectful and not neglectful. Yuancheng, you go and see off Master Jingqing!”
Andre nodded and turned to Master Jingqing and spoke in Chinese: “Master Jingqing, our master has something urgent to do. Let me take you back.”
Jing Qing didn’t understand Japanese and had no idea what was going on. But since the other party wanted to send him away, he certainly didn’t say much. So he handed Master Kongyin to the novice monk Huaiyi and said respectfully, “Master Kongyin, I will take my leave first.”
After Jing Qing took his leave, the young monk Huaiyi also turned to leave. Master Kongyin stopped him and warned him, “Huaiyi, when you see that youngdy, don’t be too respectful. Just treat her as an ordinary pilgrim and wee her in. Do you understand?”
Kong Yin knew Lin Wan’er (ni)’s secret and also knew that Lin Wan’er (ni)’s identity was sensitive. Although the temple was not open to the public for the time being, there were still tourists visiting Kyoto who woulde up to take pictures. If he was too polite to Lin Wan’er (ni), he was worried that it would reveal unusual information.
During the years he spent with Lin Wan’er (ni), he had already developed a cautious and careful attitude towards every detail.
Although Huaiyi didn’t understand, he nodded respectfully and said, “Master Abbot, I’ll go over and invite Miss Zhengping in!”
Kong Yin nodded and waved his hand: “Go.”
