Chapter 301 Names are the Beginning of Bonds
She climbed up each floor, sincerely making a wish.
I hope that Ali will live a peaceful life.
We also hope that this beautiful city will not be ravaged by disasters.
Given Xuan Li's current physical condition, Feng Siyue was actually a little worried that she wouldn't be able to climb all 100 steps, but her condition was surprisingly good.
Not only did he skip and jump around the whole way, but he also excitedly pulled her along, wanting to go to the main hall to offer incense.
As Xuan Li stepped into the gate of Puling Temple, she encountered a sweeping monk. She quickly stepped forward and said, "Little monk, wait a moment!"
The monk turned around, clasped his hands together, and said with a kind face, "Benefactor, is there anything I can do to help you?"
Xuan Li lifted the small beast in his arms and spoke directly.
Is it from here?
The monk glanced at the small beast in Xuan Li's arms and nodded slightly. "Amitabha. Benefactor, it has indeed been fed by our temple recently."
Upon hearing the definite answer, Xuan Li smiled and said, "That's wonderful! I saw it wandering outside today and heard about Puling Temple, so I brought it back to your temple."
Buddhists often say that they wish to save all sentient beings.
She thought that as long as she didn't run into that woman again, the little one should have a good life from now on.
Xuan Li put it down and patted its head.
"Little one, we're home!"
Upon seeing the monk, the little fellow ran towards the sweeping monk as if it were a rocket, circled around him, and wagged its tail happily.
The monk smiled, but froze when he saw the whip marks on its back. "This..."
Xuan Li explained, "It was injured by evil people. When I met it, it was already like this."
The sweeping monk sighed and carefully picked up the little creature. "Despite all its hardships, it is fate that it met a kind-hearted benefactor."
"I will take it to get the medicine applied. Do you two have anything else to attend to?"
Xuan Li shook his head.
The sweeping monk nodded slightly to them, then turned and left.
Xuan Li turned around, and sunlight shone on her slightly pale profile, making her look so vibrant. She smiled.
"Feng Siyue, come on, let's go offer incense!"
The little guy was happy to see the familiar person feeding him. He wanted to tell that person how happy he was, but when he turned around, he found that Xuan Li had not followed him. Instead, he turned around and left.
It instinctively panicked.
Don't you want it anymore?
The little guy struggled in the sweeping monk's arms and jumped down over his hands.
The moment it landed, it staggered from side to side, and before it could even stand up, it hurriedly chased after Xuan Li!
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Wait for me!
A familiar voice came from behind her. Xuan Li looked up and saw the little guy running about a meter behind her, so anxious that he could barely run.
Xuan Li stopped. "Why did you come here?"
The little animal anxiously clung to her hem with its paws, its eyes wet and it whimpered pitifully.
"Woo~"
It's heartbreaking.
The monk, named An Yuan, looked at the small beast and understood. He smiled peacefully, "Benefactor, meeting is fate. Since it has met you, it means you were destined to meet. Why not take it with you?"
Xuan Li was initially delighted: Could he take him away?
Then her expression turned troubled. "But wasn't it adopted by you?"
An Yuan shook his head slightly and denied it, saying, "Female benefactor, we provide food and lodging for the spirit beasts that come to Puling Temple, but we will not take them for ourselves."
Xuan Li then happily picked up the little beast again.
"Thank you, young master!"
"Young master, has it been given a name?"
An Yuan said, "No."
"As the Buddha said, a name is the beginning of a bond. With a name, many attachments will arise. If they were not adopted by their fellow disciples, their names would not be surprising if they came from the mouth of the person who took them away."
"The young master is kind and benevolent."
Xuan Li meant these words sincerely.
Buddhism values predestined relationships.
They have a connection with Puling Temple, which is why they are able to live here. Puling Temple will not take possession of them just because of a bowl of porridge or a meal, thus severing its connection with all living beings.
Just as Xuanli realized this, other monks from the temple walked by carrying huge food boxes.
Behind him, many thin little creatures wagged their tails and ran happily. Under the golden sunlight, the aroma of food filled the air, creating a peaceful and warm scene.
Xuan Li smiled and tapped the forehead of the little beast in her arms. "Little guy, Master has fed you for so many days, aren't you going to say thank you?"
It seemed to understand what Xuan Li said, and addressed An Yuan,
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
It's as if they're saying thank you.
An Yuan smiled, put his hands together, and said, "Young benefactor, may your future be bright and filled with happiness and joy."
Then he left.
Xuan Li carried the little one towards the main hall.
The other person was excitedly licking her hand, and Xuan Li giggled, "So happy to be traveling with me?"
"Woo!"
"Haha, if you come with me, then from now on you'll be called Agate. Your eyes are very beautiful~"
"Woo!"
agate?
it is good!
After offering incense, the two went to Feng Siyue's newly rented courtyard.
It is located on Xuanhe Street.
This area consists of elegant courtyards, spaced several dozen meters apart, and is quite quiet.
The courtyard that Feng Siyue rented is named Qiusi Courtyard.
In the courtyard house, which is neither too big nor too small, there is a small persimmon tree, about the height of a person. The tree is full of fruit, and it is the perfect time to eat them.
The courtyard is fairly spacious.
In addition to the main house, there are three guest rooms.
Xuan Li walked around for a while and finally stopped next to the persimmon tree in the courtyard.
There is a stone table and three stone stools here.
