According to reason, the monastery is a quiet place, especially the backyard, where no one with no sense should come to provoke others.
However, nothing is absolute; even Buddha can have a wrathful Vajra aspect. This serene place is not absolutely quiet either.
"Swish, swish, swish."
A young monk sweeping the floor, waving his broom impatiently as if just going through the motions.
Everyone acts like this when they're alone, just quietly sulking, but with others around, there's always a desire to let that grumpiness out.
The young monk saw Lu Xiaobu and said, "Please make way, patron."
Although he addressed him as patron, the tone was quite impolite.
The tone implied that Lu was blocking his work, and if he couldn't sweep clean, it's all Lu's fault.
Lu Xiaobu glanced at him blandly and said, "I am in the monastery, you are sweeping the monastery, where should I make way and how?"
The young monk was hot-tempered, seemingly not yet refined.
