Li Jidao: "The donor's insight is not unreasonable, it can be seen that he has rich life experience, and he is also thinking about life. ”

The groom said: "If you talk a lot, you will naturally know how to speak and say good things, and if you have traveled a lot, you will naturally know how to walk and take shortcuts." Life experience, life perception can't be talked about, it's just a little experience. ”

Li Ji said frankly: "It's rare, but it's not easy. Even if it is experience, it also needs to be accumulated over many years. How can you talk about experience without going through experience. ”

Xu Mafu smiled: "In this way, Master's analysis is not unreasonable. ”

After a pause, he said, "If you can meet Master on the road today, and listen to Master answer questions and solve doubts, is it worthy of fate? I don't understand, can I answer the so-called word 'fate' of Buddhism?"

Li Ji glanced at the groom, with a somewhat puzzled expression, and said solemnly: "It can be called, it can be answered, it is all fate, there is no need to question it." ”

Xu Mafu followed the conversation and hurriedly asked, "I think Master Meng is a monk, and he is also related to the Buddha?"

Li Ji said simply: "Yes, entering the temple to take refuge in Buddhism is also the fate of Buddha." ”

The groom said, "How can I see it?"

Li Jidao: "Don't hide it from the donor, I got married in a dream, and I met the guidance of believers. Later, he entered the temple with the believers, and saw the golden body of the Buddha and the Buddha in his heart, so he stayed and did not want to leave. ”

After hearing this, Xu Mafu's eyes widened and he was surprised: "What is a dream marriage?"

Li Ji explained: "This is a heavenly opportunity, and it is inconvenient to talk to the donor. Amitabha, sin, sin. ”

The groom was slightly embarrassed, and suddenly changed his words, and said: "Listening to Master's words, it shows that the cultivation is unfathomable, not like the scene of five years of cultivation. Dare to ask Master Meng, has he really been in the temple for five years?"

Li Jidao: "It's all true, the monks don't speak. ”

The groom said, "Why do you have to come down today?"

Li Ji sighed: "It's a long story, it's time to go down the mountain." ”

Ma Fu also seemed to have some regret about this, and said: "With the wisdom of the master, if you practice for many years, you will definitely become a high-ranking monk with high morality and wisdom, and it is not good to start a sect." It's a pity ......"

Li Ji didn't say much, and said: "Everything has a certainty. The cycle of cause and effect is a law of nature. Don't worry about it. ”

Xu Mafu also said: "Don't hide it from the master, I am a reckless man, driving the carriage on this road for many years, and making a living by hauling stones all day long. But he loves to be convenient with others, and he will never shirk if he can take a ride, whether big or small, and he also contributes. I met all kinds of people back and forth, and there were countless people, and many of them went to the mountains to become monks. There are also various reasons. It's the first time I've heard of Master's 'marriage in a dream'. When you attain the Tao of cultivation, you are the first one who comes down the mountain. Strange to say, for some reason, there are many people who go up the mountain, but there are very few people who go down the mountain, can Master Dream know about it?"

Li Ji hurriedly said: "Listening to Lord Xu, it turns out that he is also a person who is kind and helpful, and does more good deeds, which is really a great blessing. As for the number of people going up the mountain and the number of people coming down the mountain, the little monk can't know it well, maybe the time is not right. ”

After hearing this, the groom was also skeptical, but he also said: "I see!

Xu Mafu continued to catch the car, Li Ji also looked into the distance, and the two talked about some other topics. The white horse was in a hurry, and the two of them were also talking about stopping.

In the afternoon, I returned to Beishan City.

When I entered the city, the city was still overcrowded and lively. Li Ji said goodbye to Xu Mafu and rushed in the direction of home.

Along the way, it was a familiar appearance, and nothing seemed to have changed. Familiar streets, familiar shops, familiar stalls, familiar shouts. The men, women and children who come and go, the lively atmosphere adds to the fun.

Along the way, Old Man Wu is still selling words and compositions, Cao Jushi is still selling calligraphy and paintings, familiar faces, just a little more vicissitudes.

When I walked to the stall I once set up, I saw a stinky tofu seller doing business. The shoemaker next to him was still there, and he only cared about going back and forth, and he didn't seem to recognize Li Jilai. Because what is looking at him at the moment is not Li Ji, who used to sell words next to him, but the foot monk who was wearing monk's clothes at the time.

Li Ji looked at the stall selling stinky tofu, but his mind was himself a few years ago, his own stall, his own signboard, his own appearance, and his figure back and forth but not busy. I can't help but sigh: This is not what it used to be, things are not people.

I thought to myself: People don't like to read the handwriting, maybe it is better to eat a piece of stinky tofu. Stinky tofu smells stinky, but it doesn't smell when it tastes.

Look at yourself now, wrapped in monk's robes. If it weren't for the brocade box in his arms, he might not dare to come down the mountain.

After seeing enough, after thinking about it, Li Ji was no longer interested in staying. Fang got up and hurried in the direction of home.

When I arrived at the entrance of the street, I was greeted by a new door. It is said that it is a new door, but because it is a different door from the previous one.

Li Ji couldn't help but be taken aback, thinking: What happened? Or did something change? Why did you change the door. ”

was also due to panic, Li Ji didn't think about it, stepped forward quickly, and knocked on the door. The more anxious you are, the harder you work, the frequency is high, and the louder it is.

After a while, I heard someone inside shouting, "Who? knock so hard." ”

When Li Ji heard about it, he didn't care, and while knocking on the door, he said, "It's me!"

There was a 'crunch' and the door opened.

The man who opened the door saw that it was a monk, and Li Ji saw that the man who opened the door was a man, with a face full of meat, a scruffy beard, and a sloppy appearance.

Everyone was taken aback, staring at each other, it was you who looked at me, I looked at you, and looked at each other up and down.

After being stunned for a moment, the cross-meat man spoke first and said, "Do you want to break the fast? Where did the monk come from, why did he come to my house?" ”

As soon as he heard about Huazhai, Li Ji couldn't help but glance at his monk's robe, suddenly realized his current identity, and hurriedly said: "The donor has misunderstood, I am looking for someone." ”

When the meaty-faced man heard that he was looking for someone, he said unhappily, "You are a monk, who are you looking for at my house? ”

Li Ji explained: "It's not a secret, but it's looking for someone. ”

The cross-meat man said: "There is no fasting, let alone looking for someone." Go, go, go, hurry up. "After that, I want to close the door.

Li Ji stayed at the door, did not dodge, and said: "It's true that I'm looking for someone." Dare to ask the donor, where is the original owner?"

Seeing that Li Ji had no intention of leaving, the cross-meat man raised his voice and asked, "What are you looking for in his house?"

Li Ji choked up a little and said: It's my father's generation. ”

Only then did the meat man calm down and say, "Oh... It turned out to be his son. They moved away, why did you become a monk?"

Li Ji didn't say anything else, and asked again, "When did you move out?"

The meat man said: "Moved away early!"

Li Ji asked, "Do you know where my father and they have moved?"

The cross-meat man was a little impatient, and said, "How do I know, I don't follow in front of my eyes and behind my eyes." With that, he closed the door and muttered to himself.
