Chapter 226: The World is full of poor people

When Su Wen and his party were trekking in the mountains and forests, Ma Tian's words with a child's voice sounded: "Master, there is fog there." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "After speaking, he shrank behind Xiang Suwen. It's a long-standing habit that he can't see what others can't see, so he always thinks he's lying, and sometimes even gives him two blows.

Xingzang and Xinghui followed Ma Tian's gaze, but they didn't see anything. In the direction that Ma Tian pointed was only a grove of trees and weeds in it, and there was no sign of a little fog.

Su Wen saw that there was a faint yin qi in that direction, but it was very scattered, and it was difficult for Su Wen to detect it if he didn't pay attention to it.

"Master, can you see it?" asked Ma Tian with a small face up, his eyes full of anticipation. He wanted someone to see as much as he did, so that he could prove that he wasn't lying.

"Yes, I saw it. Su Wen stroked his hair and said.

"Wow, great, they all said I lied. Now a master has testified to me. And if they scare me again, the master can help me scare me back. ”

Listening to his children's words, Su Wen thought it was very interesting. The "they" in his mouth are probably the souls of the dead wandering in the mountains and forests. Squatting down and saying to Martin, "You can see things that ordinary people can't see, but don't pay too much attention to it. A lot of people have that ability, like me.

But you have to know that what the human eye sees is not real, so no matter what strange things you see, don't care, if you see it, you don't see it, and your heart is always clean. Seeing without seeing, hearing without hearing, the heart is like a wall, this is one of our Zen minds, can you understand it?"

"Master, are you real?" said Ma Tian with a blank expression.

"Whether it's true or not, you'll understand later. Su Wen smiled and patted his head.

Ma Tian couldn't figure it out, how could it be true and fake? The person in front of him could see, touch, hear him, and feel the heat, how could it be fake.

"In this way, I will teach you to recite a sentence of Amitabha Buddha first, you can recite it while walking, make a small noise, just be able to hear it, one step at a time, don't let the time pass by in vain. The essence of chanting the Buddha is to recite and listen to yourself, to take your ears with your mouth, to take your heart with your ears, and to ask you to put your mind on this Buddha name, listen carefully to your own voice of chanting Buddha, and ignore other thoughts in your head, understand?"

This time, Ma Tian heard it clearly, and recited Amitabha Buddha quietly when he walked, although he forgot from time to time because of distractions, but Su Wen was still relatively satisfied.

When it was time to rest, Su Wen taught him how to sit on his knees and the sixteen special victories. This is a way to regulate his body, which can nourish his mind and qi, and regulate his body and mind. After returning to the temple, he will systematically teach Buddhism and arrange for school at the same time.

When Su Wen and his party were still walking out of the mountains, Yanling, an old man was sitting in a rocking chair resting with his eyes closed, and a middle-aged man walked in from outside and whispered to him: "Teacher, those people have news." ”

Hearing this, the old man opened his eyes violently, and a sharp gaze shot directly at the middle-aged man, making him tremble a little in his heart.

"Go on, I'm listening. The old man said in a deep voice

"They didn't contact our people, but followed the two monks to the East China Sea. According to the people below, there should have been no one to watch over them at that time. The middle-aged man's voice became smaller and quieter, and in the end it was the size of a mosquito.

"Bang" The old man slapped the armrest hard, and his tone was angry: "What are they going to do?

The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but seeing that the old man was in a rage, he didn't dare to say a word.

The old man calmed down and said, "Those monks are really good at demagoguery, even these carefully cultivated disciples can bewitch, and they really can't stay." ”

"Those people, look for an opportunity to bring them back and see what the hell is going on. Also pay attention to their families. ”

"Yes, teacher, I'll arrange it. The middle-aged man said to the old man. "Do you still have to send someone?"

The old man tapped his fingers on the armrest, and only after half a sound did he say, "Don't send someone first, the three of them will miss their hands, and the other party will not be easy to deal with." And this time, the other party is also on guard, I'm afraid they even know who I am. Look for the right time later. ”

The old man didn't know that he just thought that the three of them would definitely confess the people behind the scenes. But he didn't expect Su Wen to ask who the person behind it was. Since it is guessed that there is a radical faction of Confucianism behind it, it doesn't matter who it is, sooner or later it will be opposed, because the enemy is not a person, but a group.

……

Su Wen and the others walked in the mountains for more than a day, eating some dry food and water brought from the village, and then picking some wild fruits. Many small animals are not afraid of Su Wen, and often lean to Su Wen's side when the group is resting, so that Ma Tian forgets about being away from his parents in his hometown for a short time.

Following the direction pointed by the villagers, I finally climbed a mountain the next afternoon and saw a plain not far below, and a city full of high-rise buildings in the distance.

"Wow!" Ma Tian saw the outside world for the first time, there was no TV in the village, and he only knew about the outside world from a few books that were about to be turned over. When he saw the city in the distance for the first time, he stepped out of the mountain village and began to see this more wonderful world.

It didn't take a few hours to come down from the mountain, and it was dusk, and Ma Tian was very interested in what he saw along the way. Children are by nature, and the matter of chanting Buddha has long been put aside by him.

The surrounding area is no longer the dirt, weeds, fields, flowers, and trees near the village, but instead of asphalt pavement, neat greenery, which looks beautiful but lacks the vigor of the fields.

Ma Tian followed behind Su Wen, walking all the way and looking at it, even the trash can leaned over to touch it and take a look.

As everyone walked into the city, they were surrounded by tall buildings, pedestrians dressed in clean and fashionable clothes, a few dusty monks and a dirty child who looked out of place.

"Hey, walk and look at it, don't bump into it. A woman was almost hit by Ma Tian, whose eyes were on the buildings on both sides along the way, and scolded her with some displeasure. Seeing that he was dirty, with patches on his clothes, like a little beggar, there was a touch of disgust in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, but walked up from the side by the distance from Ma Tian.

Martin was small, but he could tell that the woman didn't like him. He had been growing up in the countryside and didn't know why this was happening, so he looked at Su Wen a little helplessly.

"Most people in this world are like that, they don't see things like you do. All they have pursued for decades of life are those phantom bubbles, which burst at the slightest poke. They are pitiful, because they cannot see farther, nor more, but only the vanity that is blinded before their eyes.

You are different from them, you can see farther and more in the future, and your heart must be clean, and everything outside is unreal. Got it?"

Ma Tian looked back at the woman, then turned to look at Su Wen, and nodded emphatically. Although he still didn't understand it, he kept Su Wen's words firmly in his heart.

"Master, are they all pitiful?" asked Ma Tian again, pointing to the various passers-by around him.

"It's all poor people. Su Wen nodded.

"Can I help them, then?" asked Martin again

"When you understand yourself, you can help them. Su Wen heard his words and laughed gently. "But they don't necessarily want your help. Therefore, we only save those who are destined. (To be continued.) )
