Big Ash's force value is still very high, and the dogs did not reject it to join, only Xiao Wu was a little unhappy.

Big Gray seems to have taken a fancy to Xiao Wu, sticking behind Xiao Wu every day, Xiao Wu is annoying, and he can't beat Big Gray anymore, so he can only acquiesce that from now on there will be more followers behind him.

Big Ash gave full play to the principle that if the mountain doesn't come, I'll go to the mountain, and I won't leave the small five dogkens. Luo Tong also prepared a small nest for it, but unfortunately Da Ash has never been to it once, and the nest is on Xiao Wu's side all day long.

Luo Tong left the dogs to run in on their own, and she now had other things to do. Seeing Luo Tong come back, Luo's father quickly explained the matter and went back.

He has been here for more than a week and has not been back once, in fact, he misses Luo's mother a little, and the two have never been separated for so long. Luo's mother also said that she would come to Qingshui Village at night and go back to work during the day, but Luo's father refused with a black face.

It takes more than two hours a day to go back and forth, even if Luo's mother is willing to spend time on the road like this, Luo's father is not willing to let Luo's mother go back and forth like this.

Therefore, when Luo Tong came back, he saw Luo Dad's big face of a resentful woman. After hurriedly explaining, Luo's father ran to Luo's mother's arms.

When Luo Tong and the others came back, it was just in time for the peak of the ripening of the pears, and Luo Tong stayed in the orchard all day long, and he was paying the bills to the guests every day.

This is the last batch of ripe fruit in the orchard, as long as she thinks that she will be able to rest when the pears are ripe, Luo Tong is full of energy again.

Even the little snake egg she brought back didn't have time to take a few more looks, and was put under the boxwood tree on the balcony by her. There is no sunlight and the temperature is moderate, so it can be said to be a good place.

Although he was very busy during the day, every night when he went back, Luo Tong would go to see the condition of the little snake egg, and sometimes talk to it.

This snake egg is small, and the more you look at it, the cuter it becomes, and I don't know what it will look like in the future. With this expectation, Luo Tong waited for more than two weeks.

Before the little snake came out, the jar of ancient lotus seeds planted on the balcony finally bloomed. It's also a coincidence, the day after Luo's father left, this vat of ancient lotus seeds was worthy of a few buds, and within two days, all the lotus flowers in this vat bloomed.

This lotus flower is golden yellow, and it looks bland from a distance, and only a close look can see the disparity. This lotus leaf is only half the size of a normal lotus leaf, and this lotus flower is also smaller than a normal lotus flower.

But the petals of this golden lotus are stacked on top of each other, more than the number of layers of the thousand-petaled lotus that Luo Tong saw in the lotus pond. Luo Tong once tried to count how many petals this golden lotus had, but unfortunately she had already given up after only counting a few laps on the periphery, unless she plucked all the petals one by one, but it was too tyrannical.

The color of this golden lotus didn't seem strange, but when I looked closely, I found that this golden yellow was very restrained, not as flamboyant as the common golden yellow. Luo Tong was stunned to see a kind of calmness in this golden yellow, and she didn't know how she saw it.

Many people will have a misunderstanding, there is a word in Buddhist language called Bubu Shenglian, which means that where the Buddha walked, many golden lotus flowers will be born on the ground.

Luo Tong thought it was a lotus flower at first, but later when she was chatting with Sheng Qiwu, she realized that her idea all along was wrong.

I still remember that when she saw this blooming golden lotus, she subconsciously said: "Is this golden lotus what people often call a step-by-step lotus?"

Luo Tong can't forget Sheng Qiwu's expression at that time, his face was full of strangeness, and his smile couldn't be stopped. Luo Tong guessed that maybe she said the wrong thing, "What did I say wrong, are you like this?"

Sheng Qiwu cleared his throat, thinking about what he should say so as not to hurt Luo Tong's self-esteem. In fact, this is also a complaint against Luo Tong, it is estimated that only those who are interested in Buddhism will have an in-depth understanding of these.

Coincidentally, Sheng Qiwu's grandfather, Mr. Yang Yi, was interested in Buddhism, so Sheng Qiwu followed behind to watch a little.

"There is a term in this Buddhism called five trees and six flowers, which is the five kinds of trees and six kinds of flowers that must be planted in the Buddhist scriptures. ”

Sheng Qiwu didn't rush to explain Luo Tong's confusion, but talked about other things unhurriedly.

Luo Tong blinked, a little puzzled why Sheng Qiwu started to say from here, Sheng Qiwu rubbed her head, "I want to start from the very beginning, this is also a kind of knowledge sharing, isn't it?"

"These five trees are the Bodhi tree, the high banyan tree, the bay leaf palm, the betel nut and the sugar palm, and these six flowers refer to the lotus, Manjushri, turmeric, frangipani, Burmese osmanthus and Dichong nasturtium. ”

"In general, these five trees and six flowers will be planted in the temple, and many people also think that the lotus is a lotus flower step by step, but it is not, this refers to the golden lotus of the earth. ”

Sheng Qiwu seemed to be smiling, and Luo Tong suddenly realized why Sheng Qiwu had gone around in such a big circle and pulled so far.

"Why is it the Diyong Golden Lotus? Isn't this lotus a lotus?"

According to the scriptures, when the Buddha was born, every step under his feet would give birth to a golden golden lotus, and when the Buddha preached the scriptures, the sky would fall wildly, and the ground would swell with golden lotus. In addition, when the nasturtium blooms again, the flowers seem to emerge from the ground, so there is such a saying. ”

"Is the nasturtium a very important flower in Buddhism?"

"Of course, this is the sacred flower of Buddhism. Sheng Qiwu flicked Luo Tong's head with his fingers: "In fact, the status of lotus in the hearts of Buddhists is also very high. ”

When reading Buddhist scriptures, people often see that the Buddhist scriptures refer to the Buddha country as the "Lotus World", the temple as the "Lotus House", the monk's robe as the "Lotus Suit", the monk's mudra as the "Lotus Flower Gassho", and the "prayer beads" used in the monk's hands are also made of lotus seeds. ”

"The Buddhist scriptures say that it is better to use lotus seeds as prayer beads than to use locust wood beads, and if you pinch and recite it again, you will get as many as a thousand times the blessing. ”

Speaking of these, Sheng Qiwu is like a treasure. He really doesn't see through the red dust, but he usually reads more miscellaneous books, and some knowledge will be remembered after reading it.

"Then I see that many Buddhas like to sit on the lotus platform, why does the lotus flower appear so often in Buddhism?"

There was a TV series before, and when Luo Tong saw a lot of Buddhas appearing, they basically sat on the lotus platform.

Sheng Qiwu thought for a while, "There are several ways to say this, so I'll just talk about one of our local general perceptions." In fact, there are many small stories in it, and they are more interesting. ”
