Chapter 61: The Tao and Buddha Walk Together
Due to the distance, Nanfeng subconsciously looked at the clothes first, then the reflective bald head, and the last thing to look at was the appearance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, before looking at the monk's appearance, Nanfeng had already guessed who the monk was based on his voice, and his appearance was just to confirm it. As he expected, the monk was one of the few sworn brothers he had lost since Chang'an, and he became a monk after the incident.
The fat man's appearance has not changed much, but the big change is his posture, which not only jumps taller, but also thick, and is tall and strong at this time. He was draped in a shabby gray cloth robe, carrying a large burden behind him, a pot-bellied bowl grasped in his left hand, and waved his right hand at him again and again.
When he met the old man from another country, Nanfeng was overjoyed and waved in response, "Fatty." ”
The fat man didn't seem to like his old name, and tilted his head and pouted when he heard the sound, but the smile on his face was still there, and his waving right hand was never put down.
Not long after, the ferry docked, and the fat man jumped onto the shore from the bow of the boat and punched the south wind, "Hahahaha, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." ”
The fat man was more than seven feet tall at this time, and he was afraid that he would not have two hundred or more than one hundred and eighty pounds, this punch was very powerful, and the south wind staggered back, but the south wind was not angry, took two steps forward, and slapped the fat man's big belly, "Fat guy, good fat guy." ”
There are slight differences in the language of the three countries of the Central Plains, Liang retained the accent and pronunciation of the Han people in the Qin and Han dynasties, and the fat guy was slightly laughing and disdainful, but the fat man didn't understand, only listened to it as "fat", he was half a head taller than Nanfeng at this time, and reached out to grab the bun on Nanfeng's head, "Oh, you really became a bull-nosed Taoist." ”
Nanfeng has never been the master of loss, and raised his hand to touch the fat man's bald head, "What a bald donkey." ”
"Okay, you have a bull's nose, dare to scold the Buddha?" the fat man grabbed Nanfeng's bun and lifted it up.
"Dead bald donkey, let go of your Dao Master!" Nanfeng slapped the fat man's bald head repeatedly.
At this time, the ferry boat has docked, the people who cross the river have come ashore, passing by the two people are all curious side eyes, Taoist priests and monks belong to different sects, on the surface there is nothing to do, secretly there are many disagreements, like the two of them are so close to play is extremely rare.
Although the fat man carried Nanfeng's bun but didn't use any force, but Nanfeng patted his head really slapped, and the fat man couldn't stand it after two slaps, so he let go first, "It's not light or heavy, my head must be red." ”
"I can still make it purple. Nanfeng smiled and slapped again.
The fat man couldn't stand the south wind, and was afraid that he would fight again, so he took two steps back, "Amitabha, Amitabha, I have long heard that there are many people who are ruthless and vulgar, and the rumors are true." ”
"Immeasurable Tianzun, immeasurable Tianzun, I have long heard that monks are lazy to eat, and the rumors are true. The south wind chased after him and patted the fat man's belly.
"Go, go, don't mess with you. "The fat man is not as 'brave' as the south wind, nor is he good at arguing, so he has to admit defeat and quit the battle.
At this time, the people waiting from the south bank had already begun to board the boat, and the south wind couldn't help but catch up with the fat man, and asked eagerly, "Fat man, what are you doing in the south country?"
"Wander around, observe the world, and hone the heart of the Buddha. The fat man said.
Nanfeng laughed when he heard this, "Where did you learn these two sentences of Yawen, and you are still walking, you were kicked out." Let's go, the monk is not welcomed in the south, so follow me back to the north. ”
"Huh?" the fat man grinned, "how unwelcome?"
"It's very unpopular, don't go, follow me back to the north. The south wind stretched out his hand and dragged the fat man.
"I just arrived. "The fat man didn't want to go.
The fat man was very heavy, he didn't want to go, and the south wind couldn't drag it, so when he saw the captain urging, he boarded the boat first, "Can you go or not?"
"If I go with you, what will I do when you go back to the mountain?" the fat man hesitated.
"I'm also going down the mountain, I'm not going back to the mountain, come on. The south wind beckoned again.
When the fat man heard this, his face was happy, and he strode onto the bow of the boat, "You were also kicked out?"
The fat man didn't have much scheming, and one word confirmed Nanfeng's guess, Nanfeng laughed, "You were really kicked out?"
"Nonsense. The fat man tilted his head.
There are many taboos on ferrying, and loud noise is one of them, and after the captain stopped it, the two lowered their voices, sat on the bow of the boat and whispered, talking nothing more than their respective experiences after being separated.
The fat man first said, he worshiped the Buddha door of the matter of the south wind has long known, when he went to the cemetery in the west of the city with Tian Yuanzi also saw him, afterwards the fat man followed the people to a temple called Longkong Temple, Longkong Temple is located in the southwest of Wei, more than a thousand miles away from Chang'an, because of the hard work and many rules and precepts, the people did not wait to go to the ground and ran most of the way, including the fat man, a total of more than a dozen people rushed to the Longkong Temple.
Longkong Temple is a small temple, unlike the three Qing Dynasty sects have the subsidy of the imperial court, the incense is not very prosperous, the life in the temple is very hard, in addition to chanting the scriptures and participating in Zen on weekdays is to cultivate and work, but also often go down the mountain to turn the fate, so after three months, the dozen or so people run one is not left, no, to be exact, there is only one left. There is a work in Longmen Temple, called Prajna Divine Skill, the fat man coveted the divine skill, gritted his teeth and persevered.
After the fat man got started, he was assigned to the dining hall, but in fact, people accepted him because they wanted him to be the husband, which also fulfilled his wishes, and he was very diligent in cooking rice and porridge. Buddhism has a rule of not eating at noon, that is, only one meal a day, the fat man eats a lot, and when he is growing his body, he must not be full of a meal, and he secretly adds food if he is not full, and later he was found to have been admonished, so he did not dare to cook secretly, and only overate at that meal in the morning.
Later, he was admonished that the monk had a certain amount of food and rice for each meal, and if he ate more, others would not have enough to eat.
In order to ensure the weight, the fat man secretly ate it and then added water to the porridge, in his own words, 'the porridge rice is thinner', and seeing that the rice in the porridge is getting less and less, the other monks are not happy, and he is reprimanded by the elders.
It is very annoying to keep teaching repeatedly, the elder has the intention to transfer the fat man to another place, but he will not do anything, he can still do some work if he stays in the canteen, and he can only eat rice grain for nothing if he goes elsewhere.
Even if he often steals food, life in the temple is still very hard, seven feet of intestines are idle for five and a half feet, and starvation is a common thing, but the fat man has perseverance, gritted his teeth and persevered.
He persevered, but Longkong Temple couldn't hold on, Buddhism was compassionate and tolerant, and he couldn't expel him from the sect, so he let him "wander around, observe the world, and hone the heart of the Buddha." ”
"I followed my master to Liang and became a Taoist priest, I didn't like the life in the mountains very much, so I left my master and traveled down the mountain. Nanfeng said.
"It's over?" the fat man was dumbfounded, he kept saying during the ferry, and he kept saying it after he went ashore for five miles, and he talked for half an hour. It was the turn of the south wind to speak, and it was over in one sentence.
"It's over. Nanfeng nodded. If Taiqingzong wants to kill him, the best way is to secretly do things when he crosses the river, and if he can cross the river safely, it means that he is completely safe.
"You haven't said how you got kicked out. "That's what the fat man wants to hear the most.
"I wasn't kicked out, I left on my own initiative, and I can go back at any time. "Nanfeng didn't lie, he could go back at any time, but only if he had the courage to do so.
"Then you don't want me to go back to the mountain?" the fat man stared at Nanfeng dissatisfied.
"I can go back, but I don't want to go back, you will follow me in the future, and you will go wherever I go. Nanfeng said.
"I'm older than you, why don't you follow me?" The fat man didn't want to suffer, and the seven people bowed, he was the third, and Nanfeng was the sixth.
"I can take care of your food and clothing. The south wind smirked.
The fat man was suspicious and looked the south wind up and down.
Nanfeng opened the baggage, took a few rice crackers and handed them to the fat man, "I have a lot of money, and it is not difficult to eat for a few years." ”
The fat man didn't take the rice crackers, but tilted his head to look at the sky, "It's not too late, I can't eat fast." ”
Nanfeng didn't force it, and came back with his hand, "Don't eat and pull down." ”
"You can't eat more, and it doesn't matter if you eat less. The fat man snatched all the rice crackers.
"Here, these coins are for you. Nanfeng took out some broken silver and copper coins from his bosom, he and the fat man are brothers, not master and servant, it is okay to laugh, and the fat man must not feel that he oppresses people with silver money.
The fat man was about to eat the cake, and when he saw this, he put down the rice cake and shook his head, "Amitabha, if it doesn't work, I can't take the money vow, I can't take money." ”
"Don't pull it down. "Southwind wants to get the money back.
When the fat man saw that he really took it back, he was very reluctant, and hurriedly grabbed it, "You can't catch more, and it doesn't matter if you catch less." ”
"You can't be a monk like this, it's vulgar. Nanfeng said, the monk and the Taoist priest always make pedestrians stop and watch, he will not return the vulgar, have to pry the fat man to return the vulgar.
"That's not going to happen. The fat man shook his head.
"Why?" asked Nanfeng.
The fat man stuffed the rice crackers into the baggage along with the potbelly bowl of Huayuan, and left a big mouth to chew, "I am dedicated to the Buddha, and I can't give up halfway." ”
"Let's be honest. Nanfeng frowned.
"Master said that people are like plants and trees, and they will eventually die, and I don't want to go to hell after I die, I have to find someone to cover me. I can't be a Taoist priest, and the gods naturally won't care about me, so I can only find the Buddha to cover me. The fat man said.
"When a monk can't marry a wife, you have to think about it. The south wind continued to puff.
"It doesn't matter if you marry more, and it doesn't matter if you marry less. "Fat people are shameless.
Seeing that Nanfeng was going to make fun of him, the fat man hurriedly diverted the topic, "Where are we going now?"
Nanfeng was stunned when he heard this, yes, where are you going now......
