Chapter 216 Apprenticeship
Liu Rumei looked at Master Wuyou, not knowing how to explain.
Liu Rumei then stretched out her hand and said to the master, "Look, is there something in my palm?"
Master Wuyou looked at it carefully and then shook his head.
Liu Rumei smiled, then opened her hand again, revealing a jade pendant.
"Master, I only know some tricks that people say are just trifles. Don't take them seriously."
Although Liu Rumei said so, Master Wuyou still didn't want to believe it.
"That's a dragon!"
"Master, you are practicing Buddhism, so you should know that everything in the world is empty. Why should you cling to this illusion in front of you?"
When Master Wuyou heard this, he suddenly realized that he was indeed thinking about it. He couldn't help but sigh, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Amitabha! What the donor said is very true!"
Liu Rumei breathed a sigh of relief. She knew nothing about Buddhism. She just wanted to persuade the old man not to be so stubborn.
"Master, do you have any plans for the future? As long as I can arrange it, I will definitely do it for you."
Liu Rumei still felt a little guilty. After all, this master could practice meditation peacefully in the temple, but now, for the sake of the people of the world, his path of meditation has been cut short.
"I have not experienced any ups and downs in my life. When I was young, I was fortunate to travel around the world with my master, seeing all kinds of people and experiencing the ups and downs of life.
Later, he devoted himself to studying Buddhism in Xiangguo Temple, but he forgot his original intention and was almost disturbed by fame, wealth and power.
Now I am finally free, and I can put aside the title of master and no longer bear the honor and disgrace of Xiangguo Temple. I can finally walk the path of youth again and see the world again. "
Liu Rumei was not surprised by his choice. Life is always like this, going back and forth over and over again.
The roads you walked and the people you met when you were young, when you walk them again when you are old, you will have a completely different mindset.
Isn’t this also a kind of experience?
"Since this is what you want, I will definitely support you. But I don't want you to travel alone. I want you to take two people with you, okay?"
Liu Rumei said this naturally for Master Wuyou's own good, but she didn't expect the other party to shake his head and refuse.
“No need, I’m going there to practice, why would I involve others?
I will follow my heart along the way, and the path I take may not be taken by others."
Liu Rumei nodded and said, "Master, you must be spreading Buddhism along the way, so will you accept disciples?"
"If the fate is right, I will accept you as a disciple. In a nutshell, only those who are destined to be with me can enter Buddhism."
Liu Rumei smiled, and then called two people in.
“Master, they have been fighting for the imperial court for more than ten years, and their families are all gone.
They have dedicated everything to the people of the world in this life, but they are often haunted by nightmares and fear that they will not have a moment's peace.
They all admire you and want to join the Buddhist community to seek a place to stay. Master, are you willing to help them?"
The two looked at Master Wuyou with pious faces; their condition was actually a sequelae.
After ten years of fighting, they no longer wanted to wield swords against others.
Because they are troubled by inner demons day and night, their lives are difficult. Although they have a place to stay now, it is still difficult for them to calm down.
Now, after hearing what Master Wuyou has done, they admire him even more.
They only hope to be accepted as a disciple and learn Buddhism.
"Amitabha, are you two willing to be my disciples?"
"Master please help me!"
As they said this, they kowtowed.
They are truly willing, and even grateful, to have such an opportunity.
"Okay, then I will accept you as my disciples. You will follow me and travel around the world tomorrow. Are you willing?"
The two of them looked up suddenly, with surprise on their faces. Of course they were willing.
They also don't want to stay in one place for too long. If they can protect the master and eradicate evil, then their lives will not be lived in vain.
"Good! Good! Today I will personally shave your heads and give you Buddhist names!"
Liu Rumei and Tang Mingchen watched as Master Wuyou shaved their heads and gave them the Buddhist names Qingfeng and Qingxin.
He only hoped that the two of them could be like the breeze and never carry the grudges of the past again.
Liu Rumei was completely relieved after seeing this, and Tang Mingchen gave Master Wuyou a token.
“This is my token. If you encounter any difficulties, please send this token to the local government.
No matter what, I am a prince after all, and the local officials will not give me such face."
Tang Mingchen's power is not yet strong enough to spread throughout the government and the country.
But what he said was right. Who would offend a prince for no reason, especially when this prince had a bad reputation?
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wuyou didn't ask for anything, and he didn't do this for power, so naturally he didn't care to what extent Tang Mingchen could do for him.
He now felt as if he had been freed from all the burdens and was completely relaxed. He could finally concentrate on practicing Buddhism.
After Liu Rumei returned, she began to prepare. The next day, when the city gates opened, she took her maids to buy things.
Master Wuyou is alone, and I can't just not prepare anything for him.
So Liu Rumei bought a lot of things, including thick and simple cotton monk's robes and warm cotton shoes.
Although they are not needed now, the weather will be cold in a month, and they will not know whether they are in the north or the south by then.
In addition, there are raincoats, rain gear, pots and pans, so that we can survive if we have to sleep outdoors.
When everything was ready, Liu Rumei went to the carriage shop and bought a carriage.
Even if the master wants to practice hard, he still needs a carriage and horses to help carry his luggage.
When they came back, Xia Zhu packed up the prepared snacks.
“This is a lot of preparation.”
Master Wuyou frowned slightly, and Liu Rumei smiled.
“You are old when you are away from home. If you want to see more of this land, you should take good care of yourself.
The purpose of the carriage is to give you a good rest, so that you can have a place to take a nap even if you are camping in the wilderness."
After Liu Rumei said this, Master Wuyou couldn't refuse.
"Besides that, I have some pills here. You must take them. These are life-saving pills, and they are the most important!"
Liu Rumei said this, and Master Wuyou did not intend to refuse this time.
This is true. After all, when you are outside, you are not afraid of being hungry or cold, but you are afraid of getting sick.
"Amitabha, I will respectfully obey your command."
"Master, you're welcome. If you run out of it, send someone to send a message back and I'll have the escort agency deliver it to you!"
Liu Rumei said this, and Master Wuyou nodded again, showing his true gratitude.
Tang Mingchen looked at the three people. He didn't expect that they had to set out so early in the morning.
But this practitioner is really extraordinary. This master is really ready to set off with just a string of Buddhist beads.
To be honest, Tang Mingchen was a little impressed.
He was afraid that he would never be able to reach the state of not caring about material things in his lifetime.
He has too much on his shoulders: hatred, responsibility, and loved ones; he can't let go of any of this.
Perhaps one day he will be able to be as free and easy as Wuyou, when his great revenge is achieved.
Master Dong quietly called Qingfeng and Qingxin over and handed them a bag of silver.
