Chapter 2 The Virtue of Good Life

I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old monk standing quietly in the sun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info His eyes are as clear as water, his skin is white and delicate and flawless, and his facial features are handsome. Wearing a royal blue monk's robe, it gives a particularly clean feeling.

How could such a good-looking little monk appear here? It can't be a monster, right? She doesn't know much about this world, who knows if this will be a fantasy world.

Thinking of this, I looked at him cautiously, and saw that his eyes were clear, and there was a faint restraint on his face. Thinking that maybe he was thinking too much, he smiled and asked, "Little master, why did you come to this mountain? ”

"I, I'm not a fate, I want to ask the next road, does the donor know where Lan Youfu's home is?"

Looking for her family? As far as she knows, there should be no monk in her family.

After thinking for a while, Lan Jing stood up, walked up to the little monk and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the little master looking for the Lan Youfu family? How did you find here?"

The little monk was stunned for a moment, took two steps back uncomfortably, looked down at the ground and said, "My mother asked me to come and find it, and she drew the direction for me, but I walked here and found that it was different from what she painted." ”

His mother? He still has a family? Shouldn't the monks be empty or something? After thinking about it, he asked, "Who is your mother?" Why did you ask you to go to his house?"

"My mother's name is Yang Xiaoxi, she said, she said that I was married to Uncle Lan's daughter. The little monk said with some embarrassment.

Lan Jing was stunned for a moment, there was such a thing, and he asked quietly, "Aren't you a monk?"

"I'm just a lay disciple, not a monk. ”

"Then why don't you leave home and shave your head?" Lan Jing asked.

"It's so convenient. The little monk said seriously.

"Even if it's convenient, you can't shave your head anymore, you know?" Seeing the little monk nodding, she smiled, remembering that she still didn't seem to know who he was, and hurriedly asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Lin Chu"

Lan Jing nodded after hearing this, it should be Uncle Lin's son, it seems that he has heard of it, it turns out that his family is in-law with her, no wonder Uncle Lin is very good to their family.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take a closer look at this person named Lin Chu, only to see that his face began to blush slightly again under her scrutiny, and the whole person looked vivid and exquisite. I nodded involuntarily, well, I really deserve Xiu'er.

"My name is Lan Jing, come with me," he said, walking ahead.

The two were speechless all the way, and when they passed through Wangfeng Ridge, a sudden "gurgling" sound sounded, and Lan Jing quickly looked around for the source of the sound.

Ten or twenty meters in front of the right, a pheasant fanned its wings and crowed happily.

Lan Jing was not afraid of the pheasant, he was busy with the bow and arrow, and the arrow came out of the string with a "boom", but unfortunately it was off, and the pheasant passed by, so frightened that it hurriedly fled the string, leaving only a piece of chicken feathers.

Lan Jing was busy catching up, but was stopped by Lin Chu beside him, "The master said that God has the virtue of a good life, and if you kill in vain, you will go to hell." ”

The corners of Lan Jing's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say righteously that if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell, but after thinking about it, he still asked, "Lin Chu, did your master tell you about the six realms of reincarnation?"

Seeing that he nodded, Lan Jing continued: "The reincarnated beast in the animal path can only be an animal after death, but if it dedicates its body, just like Shakyamuni Buddha cut meat to feed the eagle, with the spirit of sacrifice and dedication, it is also possible to become a Buddha." And how could I, as the one who helped it become a Buddha, go to hell? If you block it like this, you are not helping it, but you are causing it to lose the opportunity to get out of the reincarnation of the animal realm. You know what?"

Look at Lin Chu's thoughtful expression. Lan Jing wanted to laugh a little in her heart, but in fact, she was just serious nonsense.

Taking advantage of Lin Chu's deep thought, Lan Jing chased after him, but unfortunately the pheasant had already run away.

Seeing a bamboo forest in front of me, occupying half of the mountain, I remembered that it was spring, and spring bamboo shoots were a good thing, whether they were sold or eaten by themselves, they were worth having, so I hurriedly ran over to check the groundbreaking situation of spring bamboo shoots.

It rained last night, so the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest grew a lot, and there were more than five steps.

Lan Jing didn't bring any tools, so she had to dig with her bare hands, she first used a wooden stick to loosen the soil around the bamboo shoots, and then pouted her ass and shook it vigorously, without thinking about whether it looked unsightly.

Before one was dug up, Lin Chu walked over and asked with a serious face, "Can the pheasant really become a Buddha?"

Lan Jing paused, let go of the bamboo shoot in his hand, looked up at him, saw that his eyes were sincere, and there was an inexplicable light shining in his eyes, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, but after thinking about it, he replied: "Shakyamuni Buddha said that all living beings can become Buddhas." Don't you even believe in the Buddha?"

The light in Lin Chu's eyes became brighter, like the stars in the dark night, and he looked at Lan Jing and said, "Are you familiar with the Buddhist scriptures, can you give me everything you have read?"

In Lan Jing's heart, there were 10,000 horses galloping across the grass in an instant. Who would memorize Buddhist scriptures if they have nothing to do? I haven't read them, but she's enough to memorize every day as a medical student. Then you will be in the mood to memorize Buddhist scriptures...

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little strange, a monk asked a layman for a scripture, isn't it just like a layman asking a monk to borrow a comb? After thinking about it, he asked, "Do you have no scriptures in your temple?" Or do you not allow disciples like you to enter places like the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion?"

Lin Chu listened and hurriedly said: "There are no scriptures in the temple, and there is no scripture pavilion. ”

Listening to Lin Chu's words, Lan Jing felt a little surprised, how could a temple have no scriptures and no scriptures in the past?

Thinking that the temple where Lin Chu was located might be a small temple, he said: "What is the largest temple in our country? They must have scriptures, and your temple can send people to study and copy them back." ”

It turns out that it is not only unexpected, but also unexpected.

Lin Chu said gloomily: "The first emperor ordered the destruction of all the scriptures in the country. Therefore there are no scriptures left in the whole country. The master and the younger brother went out to explore several times but did not gain anything. ”

Lan Jing thought about it in his heart. Thinking of the emperors who suppressed Buddhism in ancient times, there seem to be a few. I don't know if this is that. Then he asked, "What is the surname of the emperor of our country?"

"Li," Lin Chu said.

"Li?" Lan Jing had a bottom in his heart. It should be the Tang Dynasty now. Tang Xuanzong Li Chen period. I couldn't help but secretly rejoice in my heart: The Tang Dynasty is good, the country is stable, the economy is prosperous, and the social atmosphere is open, and I suddenly remembered that the Tang Dynasty was beautiful with fat, and I was depressed again.

Lin Chu heard Lan Jing's uncertain words, nodded and said, "It's Li, don't you know?"

Lan Jing said in a sneering voice: "How could I not know, the current emperor's name is Li Chen! I just thought that you might not know, so I asked you." After saying that, he childishly raised his chin and looked at him.

Lin Chu was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said, "The emperor's name is not Li Chen, it is Li Ping." ”

"Li Ping? How could it be Li Ping? There seems to be no emperor named Li Ping in history. Lan Jing muttered in a low voice. Thinking that history may have been discrepant, my heart is a little panicked, and I desperately want to know what dynasty is now.

glanced at Lin Chu and said, "Because I have always lived in the mountains, I don't know much about the outside, you can tell me about it." ”

Lin Chu nodded, then shook his head again, "I also don't know a lot of things, and the things I know are all told to me by my master and disciples." ”

Lan Jing sat on the ground and said, "You don't need to know too much, just know some." By the way, you only have a master and a junior brother in your mouth, don't you have a master, an uncle, a senior brother or anything like that?"

Lin Chu also sat down, and said with a little pride in his tone: "The highest rank in the temple is the master, and I am the first disciple accepted by the master, so they all call me senior brother." ”

"How big is the eldest of your brothers, and how small is the youngest?" Lan Jing began to gossip, intending to inquire slowly.

Lin Chu tilted his head and thought for a moment, "The eldest is the fourth junior brother, he is about the same age as the master, and the youngest is one and a half years old. It was sent by the benefactor who was born a lot under the mountain and then couldn't afford to raise it, and the master said that they were not considered monks, but just fostered, if they grew up with Huigen and wanted to continue to participate in Zen, they would officially become monks, and if they didn't want to become monks, they would return to the vulgar, and usually teach them to be good and learn some martial arts to strengthen their bodies. ”

Lan Jing nodded when he heard this, and couldn't help but want to praise, this abbot behaved very much like the kind of person who was very compassionate. After thinking about it, he asked, "What do you live in the temple?"

"We have land in our temple, and the first emperor confiscated all the fields in our temple, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, he returned the fields to our temple. Lin Chu replied.

"So you're usually farming?" Lan Jing suddenly remembered a picture he had seen on TV a long time ago, and a group of monks each carried two buckets in their hands, holding them flat on both sides, walking quickly on the edge of the field, so he couldn't help but ask.

Lin Chu shook his head, "The fields are all rented to the villagers under the mountain to plant. ”

"Well, do you know why the Emperor destroyed the scriptures?" Lan Jing asked.
