Chapter 305: The Sword Unsheathed (2)

Hu Dagang listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words and felt that he was deliberately selling them off! So he urged Zhao Zhongyao to tell the story quickly!

Zhao Zhongyao listened to Hu Dagang's words, then laughed and said: "Hehe! The story I want to tell is guaranteed to be very attractive, because the story I tell is about the story between a beautiful woman and a monk, I don't know if you have heard this story!"

As soon as Zhao Zhongnian's words came out, several company commanders looked at me, I looked at you, one by one, they looked at each other, I don't know how Zhao Zhongyao could tell such a story, such a story, on this occasion, is it a little inappropriate!

Hu Dagang didn't expect that Zhao Zhongyao, a person who didn't seem to be very cheerful, would tell them such a story that might be 'meaty'!

"Camp Commander Zhao, I don't know what the content of this story is, but I feel that on this occasion, isn't it a little inappropriate for you to tell the story of a beautiful woman and a monk!" Hu Dagang also pretended to be serious and looked at Zhao Zhongyao!

"Hey, I knew you guys were going to be cranky! Why, as long as it's a story with a beautiful woman, it must be a vulgar story! Don't you know that "Beauty and the Beast" is such an animated movie! Isn't this still a classic film! When you see the title of this movie, you think it's a low-grade cyan story!"

As soon as Zhao Zhongyao heard Hu Dagang's words, he directly reprimanded him.

"Okay, Camp Commander Zhao, let's talk about it quickly! I want to hear what sincere love story you can tell between a beautiful woman and a monk!"

Hu Dagang didn't want to listen to Zhao Zhongyao's rambling anymore, so he immediately asked Zhao Zhongyao to start telling stories!

"Okay, listen up, this is a life story with deep philosophical implications. If you understand this story, you will benefit from it for the rest of your life!"

Although Zhao Zhongyao said that he was going to start telling the story, he was so verbose that Hu Dagang was about to get angry again!

"Once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a temple on the mountain, and there were two monks in the temple, one was an old monk and the other was a young monk.

One day, the master and apprentice went outside together to make a fortune, and when they came to a small stream. I saw a beautiful woman who wanted to cross the river!

But there is no bridge on the river, and the river is still a little deep, so this beauty wanders by the river and hesitates, not knowing what to do!

At this time, I happened to see two monks who were also going to cross the river, one was an old monk and the other was a young monk.

The beautiful woman walked up to the little monk and said, "Little master, can you carry me across the river!"

When the little monk saw that the beauty looked like a flower and jade, he naturally wanted to cross the river with the beauty on his back.

But when I thought of myself as a monk. How can you have a skin-to-skin relationship with a beautiful woman? Isn't this a violation of the monk's precepts?

And the old monk often taught him that he must abide by the precepts, don't think crankily, and resist his own **. You must know the truth that the four are empty.

I've always performed well! Now it would be a pity if I buried all the merits of my previous practice because of carrying a beautiful woman!

Thinking of this, the little monk looked at the beauty and said very regretfully: "Female donor." I'm sorry, but I'm a monk, and men and women don't kiss each other. How can I carry you across the river! Otherwise, you should wait a while and see if anyone else passes through here, and then you can let them carry you across the river!"

After the little monk finished speaking, he walked towards the river without looking back, and then quickly waded across the river.

He originally thought that after he crossed the river, the old monk would definitely follow him across the river soon. I won't care about this beautiful woman in front of me at all.

But what he didn't expect was that when he waded to the other side of the river, and then turned around to see if the old monk was wading across the river alone, he saw a scene that shocked him very much!

He saw that the old monk was carrying the beautiful woman on his back, and walked towards the other side of the river with great difficulty.

The little monk was dumbfounded all of a sudden, he looked at the old monk, he didn't know what to say for a while, just watched the old monk slowly carry the beautiful woman to his side.

After the old monk carried the beautiful woman across the river, he carefully put her down.

The beauty looked at the old monk, bowed deeply to the old monk and said, "Thank you, master, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know when I would be able to cross the river!"

The old monk looked at the beautiful woman with his eyes and palms folded and said with a smile: "Amitabha! Kindness is like water, and virtue is loaded! The female benefactor does not need to say thank you, it is my duty to help others!"

The beauty looked at the old monk and smiled again, then turned around and left with light steps.

The little monk looked at the beautiful and graceful figure of the beautiful woman, thinking that the old monk had crossed the river with this beautiful woman on his back just now, and his heart was itching!

"Little monk, what do you want! Hurry up and go to the master!" The old monk was still staring at the beautiful scenery of the female benefactor in a daze, so he reminded him.

"Yes, master!"

Only then did the little monk react, and hurriedly followed behind the master to turn his fate.

The old monk didn't say a word along the way. He just looked very happy.

The little monk couldn't hold back a little, and he thought, "How can the master be like this?" Isn't he violating the monastery's precepts? Obviously, he said it himself, that the monks should resist women! But how could he still carry the female benefactor across the river? Isn't this a reversal!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask the old monk in a questioning tone: "Master, you seem to have violated the monk's precepts just now! How can you carry that female benefactor across the river!"

When the old monk heard this, he looked back at the little monk, then touched his bald head, and then laughed twice and said: "Little monk, what's the matter with you, I put her down a long time ago, why are you still carrying her!"

When the little monk heard the master's words, he felt a little inexplicable, and thought, he didn't carry the female donor just now! Why did the master say that he was still carrying the female donor!

"Master, I—I didn't carry her on my back! you just carried her!" the little monk quibbled again.

"Haha, little monk, I mean, I forgot about her in my heart, and you still keep thinking about her!

The old monk still looked at the little monk. Explained to him with a smile.

After the little monk listened to the old monk's words, he suddenly realized that he understood the truth of what the master said.

"Master, it seems that my cultivation is still far from enough! In the future, I will practice more with you!" the little monk looked at the old monk embarrassedly and said.

In the eyes of our Buddhist disciples, everything is an illusory existence, and everything is just a subjective illusion of human beings.

The Buddha said that the four are empty. That's exactly what happened. Just now, in your eyes, the female benefactor may think that she is a charming beauty, but in the eyes of my old monk, she is no different from ordinary people, not even different from the stones on the side of the road. I'll forget about her soon!

But you won't be like me, when you carry her, you will think about some things between men and women, after she is gone. I still think about her beautiful voice and smile, which is why your cultivation is still shallow!

In fact, it is not only the matter of carrying a female benefactor across the river, we need to treat it correctly. The same is true of many things in life. We all have to learn to let go.

The Buddha said, 'Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha', which is actually telling us the importance of letting go of attachments.

In our lives, ordinary people often suffer from gains and losses because of some small things in life. I just can't let go of what I experienced before, so it's just a self-annoyance!

To be a man and to do things is to learn to let go! We often say that 'a manly man can afford to take it and put it down.'" This sentence is to tell us the importance of learning to let go!

I hope that in the future, you will learn a lesson from this little thing, practice well, and become a good monk with no distractions as soon as possible. ā€

Through this incident, the old monk educated the little monk well. When the little monk heard this, he completely understood the master's intentions, and he also understood the true meaning of life from this story.

Later, this little monk practiced hard, adhered to the rules of Buddhism, and studied the Dharma seriously, and he later became a famous monk.

I don't know if you have heard of this high monk, he is the famous Huineng Patriarch.

Speaking of Patriarch Huineng, we have to say that he wrote a poem that contains a profound philosophy of life.

'Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There was nothing in the first place, where to stir up dust. This is a very famous Buddhist verse. Being able to deeply understand the connotation of this poem is of great help to us in life and work.

Although we did not get good results in the appraisal of position fortifications today, as long as every officer and soldier of our battalion is like a real man and can afford to put it down, then we will certainly be able to achieve good results in tomorrow's live-ammunition firing. ā€

Zhao Zhongyao used a story to tell the big truth he wanted to say, and these company commanders also felt that they had benefited a lot after listening to it!

"Okay, Battalion Commander Zhao, you have told this story so well, and it can really be said to have profound meaning! Such a philosophical story will benefit people immensely when they listen to it! Don't worry! Our company commanders will certainly devote themselves wholeheartedly to the task of firing live ammunition tomorrow, and we must let the rocket battalion achieve good results in the assessment of live firing this time. ā€

Hu Dagang listened to the story told by Zhao Zhongyao, and he was also deeply touched!

In fact, several company commanders listened to the story told by Zhao Zhongyao, and they also felt that their new battalion commander still had two strikes, unlike the previous Wang battalion commander, who would only reprimand them, and couldn't tell any big reason at all.

The next day, the live-fire mission began.

Zhao Zhongyao took a few wired soldiers and calculation soldiers from the command company to the observation post he had chosen.

Although the position is in a mountain col, the observation post must not be in the middle of a mountain col. Because the observation post is used to observe the position of the target, and then use the laser rangefinder to measure the distance and azimuth of the target, and some calculations are also required, so as to obtain some parameters required for rocket firing. These parameters are the operational passwords issued by the commander.

When the rocket gunners on the position receive the password from the observation post, and then enter the firing parameters of the rocket, they can carry out live rocket firing!

This time, all the officers and men of the rocket battalion have worked hard to get the first place in this live-fire shooting!

Zhao Zhongyao naturally devoted himself to this live-fire mission. Although it is only a single shot, the password used for a single shot is similar to that for a full shot, and all the steps that need to be taken are the same.

Originally, rockets were used to hit area targets, which means that the firing accuracy of rockets has always been a weakness. In the shooting assessment of rockets, as long as the accuracy of a single shot is more than 70 percent, it is considered an excellent result.

In other words, in a single shot, as long as ten shots of a rocket can hit seven shots, it is considered a good result.

However, when Zhao Zhongyao demanded that the accuracy of the rockets be fired at more than 90 percent this time.

In other words, if you want the whole battalion to shoot rockets, you have to hit nine out of ten shots! This difficulty can be said to be unprecedented!

But in order to create good results, Zhao Zhongyao could only impose excessively strict requirements on his troops.

Fortunately, everything went well. Thanks to Zhao Zhongyao's efforts, the officers and men of the whole battalion made concerted efforts and finally won the first place in the single-shot shooting of the rocket.

Although the accuracy of the single shot of the final rocket did not meet Zhao Zhongyao's previous requirements for everyone, it should reach more than 90 percent.

But this time, the ten rocket launchers of their rocket battalion fired ten rockets, and eight of them hit. That is, in terms of shooting accuracy, it reached the standard of eighty percent.

This standard is already very high, although it did not meet Zhao Zhongyao's expected goal, but it still got the best results in the whole division. It's a little higher than the hit rate of ordinary guns!

Due to the outstanding performance of the rocket battalion in this live firing, Yan Mingcheng was naturally very happy, and he did not hesitate to give the honor of first place to the rocket battalion led by Zhao Zhongyao.

Now Yan Mingcheng patted Zhao Zhongyao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Zhongyao! It seems that you are indeed a very capable grassroots commander!" )
