Chapter 45: The Deserted Temple
After Fahai and Yang Jian finished eating, the monkey and the old cow walked down from the upstairs lazily one after the other.
came to the table and sat down, and the two didn't ask for white porridge.
"Little Er, let's have a leg of mutton. ”
The monkey crossed Erlang's legs with a big grin, and the old cow sat next to him, and said with a smile: "Add another pot of good wine." ”
"Eating these early in the morning is not good for the stomach. ”
Fahai thought about it, but he still didn't say it, they can drink it as wine because of the poison, and it seems a little unrealistic to hurt the stomach.
Eat and drink enough and continue on your way.
There were no twists and turns along the way, the twilight was dusk, and when he saw an ancient temple in the depths of the mountains, the monkey scratched his head, "Master, why don't we go and spend the night?"
Walking at night, of course, there is no problem, anyway, for them, sleeping, is just a kind of icing on the cake, if they really want to hurry, there is no problem if they don't sleep for ten and a half years.
However, during this time, Monkey and others have found that Fahai does not seem to regard himself as an immortal Buddha, but prefers to do some actions that are more in line with the identity of mortals, or rather, to do some more "human" actions.
That's why the monkey proposes this.
"Good. Fahai readily agreed.
Learning from the scriptures is not bad these days.
"How did you know I was going to rob you?"
"Born from the heart, you show your thief. ”
As soon as the master and apprentice stepped into the temple gate, they heard the conversation between the people in the room.
There were three people in the room, a scholar, a scholar, and one who didn't look like a good person sitting on the other side.
Fahai first bowed to the Buddha statue in the hall.
After all, the Buddha of this world is his master, and he is very good to him, calling people first when entering the house, and worshipping God before entering the temple, which should be the etiquette at this time.
The scholar-like man was eating steamed buns, and when he turned around, he glanced at the four masters and apprentices, looked at the old cow and the monkey a few times, couldn't help frowning, raised a little vigilance in his heart, and scolded secretly: "How unlucky it is, I finally dealt with the bandits, and met this group of strange people." ”
The old cow is tall and big, and the monkey is thin and weak, although there are two Yang Jian left with an elegant temperament and a merciful face, but I have to say that this strange combination is still very attention-grabbing.
The monkey patted his clothes, and a large amount of dust fell, and the scholar was even more unhappy, so he moved two steps to the side, and said dissatisfiedly: "I didn't see people eating, you patted it, and let people not eat!"
"What is your opinion?" the monkey raised his eyebrows, glanced at the scholar, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Fahai.
Fahai had a gentle smile on his face, and said gently: "I'm sorry, the inferior is more reckless, so I'll accompany you." Meeting is fate, I came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, went to the West Heaven to seek the true scriptures, these are my apprentices, I don't know what to call Mr.?"
Fahai has no mercy on wicked people and demons, but for ordinary people, he generally has a very gentle attitude, even if he has the strength to become a Buddha and an ancestor, he has never felt superior.
All beings are equal.
Of course, wicked people, demons, and evil ghosts, although they are also living beings, do not belong to the beings in his eyes.
Kill and you're done.
If you do less evil, you will start again in the next life, and if you do too much evil, you will not even think about being reincarnated.
Send all the restless to the west, and the rest is not world peace?
The scholar's face was a little better, and after a closer look, he felt that although Fahai's face was full of dust, his facial features were sharp and angular, not like a sinister person, although he didn't understand why this monk called himself 'I' instead of an ordinary poor monk, but he still replied: "Zhu Xiaolian." ”
After speaking, he stretched out his finger and pointed to another person: "This is my scholar, Hou Xia, I don't know what the name of the one on the other side is, it's just a bandit, it's not a good thing, you two are optimistic that your package won't be stolen." ”
The bandit leaned against the desk opposite, and without retorting, the lobby fell silent.
After a while, the bandit suddenly reacted and said in surprise: "Eh, monk, how many of you masters and apprentices are preparing to go to the Western Heavens? That's not easy, hit your head against the wall, isn't it?"
The monkey doesn't look down on this kind of thief who seeks money and kills, although he really wants to count it himself, and he is not a good person, but in the end, what he does is a big thing, right?
"If you want to go to the West...... I can give you a ride. ”
"That's why bandits just don't have brains. The clerk taunted.
He didn't know what the monkeys meant by the Western Heavens, but that didn't prevent him from mocking the bandits who were eyeing their belongings.
If it weren't for Childe's wisdom to see through this person's face, he would have to rely on begging for food to make a living along the way.
Childe is a person who wants to be a big official, and this kind of thing naturally can't be let by Childe, so he hates the thief who almost hurt him as a part-time beggar, and scolds a few words when he can scold him when he has the opportunity.
He didn't care about a boring bandit, just shrugged his shoulders and continued to rest peacefully by the desk.
I'm just tired.
What kind of fucking bullshit scholar, definitely not a good person, and you still say that I am a thief? Lao Tzu hasn't stolen anything from you, but you tied Lao Tzu up?
The clerk took the red candles that were burning from the desk, ran to the wall and lit two candlesticks in row after row.
"This bless the son to achieve a good reputation, this bless me not to worry about eating or drinking in the future. ”
Hou Xia bowed respectfully three times, raised his head and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the mural on the wall.
The lines of the mural are as smooth as flowing water, a few brushstrokes are like clouds and brocade, and the women on the wall are vivid and lifelike.
"Childe, Childe, come and see, the girls in this painting are so beautiful, they are all fairies in the sky. ”
Zhu Xiaolian sighed, stepped forward and cut the scholar's scalp, "It's not a shame, a manly man, his mind is full of girls, how can I tell you." ”
"Manhood, self-cultivation, Qi family, national governance, and peace in the world. ”
Hearing the scholar's words, the corners of Yang Jian's mouth twitched, if he didn't read much, he wouldn't be able to develop this elegant temperament.
Either self-cultivation and family governance.
Either the body cultivates the family and the country is governed.
What's going on with such a nondescript thing?
Zhu Xiaolian, who felt that he had lost face, was about to open his mouth, when he suddenly saw a pretty woman jumping out next to him, "Ah", and hurriedly ran towards the inner hall.
Stunned, Zhu Xiaolian followed.
Fahai, who had been silently observing the scholar, smiled, glanced at the other apprentices, and followed.
"Eh, master, where are we going?"
Although the monkey was stunned, he still followed.
"There is something wrong with this temple, don't you have a fiery eye to see something unusual?"
After hearing Fahai's words, the monkey's face froze, at first he didn't pay attention at all, and thought it was just an ordinary temple, but when he got serious, he suddenly found that the light of the Buddha shining in the entire temple almost blinded his eyes.
"Where is this? Could it be that we arrived at the Great Lei Yin Temple?"
Before the words fell, through a door, the space rippled slightly, ordinary people may not notice this fluctuation, but the master and apprentice are very human, especially after Fahai's reminder, "Small world?" Lao Niu frowned.
A few people inexplicably came to a cave, and there were countless glowing fireflies flying in the cave, like stars shining.
"It's kind of interesting. Fahai smiled, although the Buddhists have a saying that there is a flower and a world, but it still takes some skill to really refine a small world into an ordinary temple.
