The mountains are high and the wind is cold. As soon as autumn enters, cleaning work becomes frequent, mainly dealing with the dead leaves falling from the sky to visit the temple.

"Master was scolded by Master again today?"

"I heard that it was because Master Yuanxing did something wrong at the foot of the mountain, and his master was implicated..."

Two young monks passed outside the courtyard, and their conversation was extremely low, but by chance they came into Yuan Xing's ears who were sweeping the floor. He was slightly stunned. What was wrong? At the foot of the mountain? He thought about it over and over again. After he went down the mountain, he had not been in this world for a long time, and he realized that he had not done anything wrong, probably a rumor.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and decided to ignore it and continue his cleaning work.

"The master is angry again, it seems to be because of the sake of Uncle Yuanxing."

"This, isn't Uncle Master being punished? Why is he so angry?"

"I don't know this. Oh, judging from the depressed look of the master, it seems that things are not small."

Yuanxing, who was fetching water, heard it and was a little worried. Could it be that the enemy had released rumors to deal with him? But after thinking about it, there were no enemies?

"It's been three days, and the master's aura hasn't subsided yet?"

"Who said no? It is said that Master Yuanxing offended the big man at the foot of the mountain. Now the other party has gained power and is ready to take revenge on this temple."

"Even if the master goes to plead with love, he will be punished to copy the scriptures for three days."

"Why……"

As the voice of the conversation gradually faded away, Yuan Xing's movement of washing the cushion became slower and slower, and finally stopped moving. The big man? A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. Could it be Jin Yuanzheng? But why did I offend him? He was exhausted by himself. It was the one who suffered a loss. How could he offend?

Oh! I slapped my forehead suddenly, was it to shave my head for the little girl, or was it because I almost broke his plan? But it has been nearly five years since this, and this old man is too revenge.

No, he stood up and wiped his hands on his clothes? He was about to go to the master to explain it clearly.

"Yuanxing? What are you going to do?" Shanguo beat up all kinds of sticks, saying something scolded in his mouth. But his face showed anxiety? He winked at him.

Yuan Xing suddenly calmed down and was punished.

"Good fruit..." He said the first sentence in two months: "Can you be able to make it more comfortable? Let me go and meet the old monk?"

Shanguo looked left and right, then said loudly, "Yuanxing spoke without authorization? One more day of punishment." After saying that, he took two steps closer? He whispered: "I'll go and ask tonight."

The next day, Yuan Xing left the woodshed early and stayed there quietly.

Shanguo came later than usual. Yuan Xing saw his ugly face from afar? He couldn't help but feel a slump in his heart. He stood up suddenly.

"The master said he didn't want to see Uncle Master recently." Shanguo said this with a blue face, hesitated for a moment, and handed the bag in his hand to Yuanxing.

The latter frowned and weighed the weight of the burden in his hand, and felt even more unfair? He quickly opened it.

Shan Guo coughed and turned his head away? He whispered: "The old man said that his uncle's behavior was bad, so he could only see him after the penalty period? You must either wear this thing yourself or be fined one month."

With a "slam" sound? Yuan Xing just felt cold hands and feet? The burden fell off his hands? A pair of steel shackles hit the ground...

----------------

Today's job is to continue to clean the fallen leaves. In the rustling sound, the broken dead leaves were blown by the wind, chasing each other on the ground in front of Yuanxing, accompanied by the coolness, showing a sense of sadness and bleakness. His mood, like this fallen leaves, was controlled by a certain emotion, and it was so desolate between ups and downs.

At this time, Yuan Xing's thoughts were filled with regret, humiliation, and resentment.

The master would rather believe those false rumors than listen to his disciples' explanations.

He believed that he had done nothing wrong in this period of time, and he could not satisfy his master. He had clearly restricted his freedom and had to be shackled. This was not just a punishment, but a humiliation.

Originally, according to his intentions, he would rather be fined one month than wear this thing, but he still chose to lock himself because he wanted to ask his master as soon as possible to understand what happened and that he would treat him like this.

Shanguo followed Yuanxing with a stick in his arms and sighed secretly. He could clearly feel the emotions of the person in front of him. He was confused and kept silently reciting: "Master, what is your old man doing this?"

At the same time, in the abbot's Zen room, the old monk Fuguang leisurely picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "The heat is almost done, the next step must be as early as possible, otherwise he would have reacted."

"I'm afraid that you'll be too ruthless and the situation will be reversed." The abbot shook his head: "You came up with such a bad idea."

Fu Guang did not answer this question, but faced the fate method standing aside and asked, "Why didn't you see Shanshou and Shanran today's morning class?"

"Although they received your instructions, they broke the precepts and lie, and they punished them to think for three days behind closed doors and fast for one day." Yuan Fa drooped his eyelids and replied lightly.

Fuguang looked at him thoughtfully for a long time before laughing: "You are dissatisfied with what you do as a teacher. Do you also think I have done it?"

"Disciple doesn't dare." Yuanfa clasped and bowed, thought for a while, and then said the truth: "But, Master, you are really anxious."

Fu Guang sighed long and said, "I know you feel sorry for your junior brother, but Yuanxing did a good job. If you don't take advantage of the situation, how can you get his mistake? How can you break the cage without using some small means? Let me do this evil man."

"Master, Yuan Xing..." Yuan Fa was thinking about persuading him for a few words, but suddenly stopped. The three people in the room turned their eyes towards the door.

The next moment, a knock on the door sounded, and the voice of Xiao Shami Shanming came from outside: "Abbot, someone is worshiping the mountain outside."

"Didn't you say that after the autumn of this temple, we won't accept foreign guests?" Yuanfa frowned and blamed him.

"I said..." Shanming's voice seemed hesitant: "But there are many people coming, and it seems to be the official one. He said his surname is Bai."

"Bai?" The abbot also frowned and looked at the other two: "Is it him?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yuan Xing, who was cleaning the fallen leaves, ran past Shanming quickly and looked in the direction of the temple. Because he was far away, he could only vaguely see many people standing outside the door.

But he was too lazy to care about it, and he was not in the mood to look at it with his wise eyes. He slowly walked towards the side courtyard and continued to clean up.

It is natural that someone will do it when receiving guests, so don’t be upset as a “sinner”.

Shanguo was very curious. You should know that there were almost no outsiders coming to Tianchan Temple. There were so many people coming to the door today, and I don’t know what happened.

Just as hesitating whether to go and take a look, he saw the abbot and a group of monks walking out of the backyard, apparently going to welcome guests.

He glanced at the depressed Yuan Xing, thought for a while, and stood the stick in his hand in the corner, ran to Master Yuan Fa's side for a few steps, and followed closely.

Soon, the abbot took them to the temple gate, but did not meet them, but stood still.
