Chapter 482: Monk Deqing blushed

Remember [Pen โ™‚ Fun รท Pavilion in one second.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

Deqing lowered his head a little in amazement, and whispered: "Miss Xiao is really smart, and she can guess it, and the little monk is not exempt from vulgarity." โ€

"Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, I'll write it to you in a while, but in exchange, how about you also copy a copy of the "Dafang Guangfo Huayan Sutra" for me?" Besides, I can't care so much, so I still seize the opportunity to leave Deqing's pen and ink.

"Ah...... How many days will it take to copy this? Deqing felt that he had been fooled, but he couldn't take it back.

"I'm not in a hurry, but the "Dafang Guang Buddha Huayan Sutra" is indeed longer, why don't you give me a "Diamond Sutra", how about it?" Besides, he took a step back and found himself under the stairs.

Xiao Nier pursed her lips and smiled, and arranged for Su Xi to go, she knew that this was deliberate, first climb a high slope, and then find a step to come down by herself, which is easy to accept.

"Okay, but I'll have to go back and copy it carefully, and I'll send it to the donor when I'm done." Deqing thought about it, and had no choice but to do so.

Besides, he was very happy in his heart, Deqing was too simple, he would not bargain at all, if he talked about it again, he would be satisfied even if he wrote him a "Heart Sutra".

In fact, copying Buddhist scriptures is also considered a monk's daily homework, and they often copy Buddhist scriptures to give to acquaintances or other friends. Some monks even made a great vow, replacing ink with blood, and stabbing blood to copy Buddhist scriptures, which is a bit terrifying, but it is also more peaceful and acceptable than those who cut off their fingers to make offerings to the Buddha.

Legend has it that the two ancestors of Zen Buddhism cut off one arm to show their sincerity in order to let Bodhidharma pass on the scriptures. This kind of self-mutilation is also often criticized by Confucians, who have a sacred precept that states that the body should not be harmed by its parents.

Deqing's quest for words reminds me of one thing, when Su Shi was degraded all the way, he was kicked to Danzhou, Hainan like a ball, far away at the ends of the earth, and cut off from his friends in the Central Plains.

His friend outside the party, Master Foyin, the abbot of Jinshan Temple, came to the hall one day, worried that no one would go to Hainan and could not bring him a letter. At that time, unless the letter was sent by post road, it was to be forwarded by the way, which of course had to be done by the way. There are also people who send someone to deliver the letter, but Hainan is too far away, and even the Buddha seal is embarrassed to send people to travel thousands of miles, just to send a letter.

At that time, there was a monk in the hall who said angrily: "Danzhou is not in the sky, and the line is to the ear." He received the letter in attendance, turned around and left.

The monk walked all the way, and half a year later came to Danzhou and handed the letter to the destitute Su Shi. Dongpo was greatly moved, so he asked the other party what he wanted. At this moment, Su Shi could hardly take out anything decent, and he asked the other party that he actually couldn't remember what he could give.

The monk made only a small request and asked Dongpo to write him a letter.

Dongpo took up the pen with emotion, wrote down a brilliant text, calligraphy value is very high, the monk got the word, turned around and left, and returned to Jinshan Temple, handed over the reply letter of Dongpo to the Buddha seal, and it took more than a year to go back and forth.

Needless to say, this painting is a rare treasure, and this monk is therefore famous all over the world by an unknown wandering monk.

Besides, knowing that Deqing came to ask for words is also citing this example, but he is ashamed to be, if it is reversed, it is appropriate, after all, Deqing is a rare monk in a hundred years, how can he dare to compare with Dongpo?

Deqing brought a message from his father and asked him to propose marriage half a year later, he didn't care about this, anyway, it would take at least a year to get married, but he secretly laughed in his heart, it is estimated that his father thought he was poor and white.

At the beginning, his father didn't leave him much silver, so he could only maintain a poor life, and he definitely couldn't afford to pay a dowry. It's just that he would know that he is now a little rich. The three pieces of jewelry given to the pomegranate alone were worth at least 100,000 taels of silver, and even in the wealthy Suzhou, they had entered the rich class.

Not long after, Xiao Nier and Liu's mother brought a table of vegetarian seats and a jar of good wine.

Liu's mother is also a person who believes in Buddhism, and when she saw Deqing wearing a moon-white monk's robe and spotless, she liked it very much, and kept saluting and chanting Buddha, and ran back to hold the Buddha statue she usually worshiped to ask Deqing to consecrate.

Deqing couldn't cry or laugh, the matter of opening the light was all those vulgar monks who cheated money, where was he willing to do this, but he couldn't stand Liu's mother's tearful pleading, so he had to reluctantly pretend, with words in his mouth, and he danced with his hands for a while and said that the light was opened. The tears of the happy mother Liu flowed out, thinking that this time there would really be a bodhisattva to bless herself all the time.

Deqing didn't want to stay for dinner, but he was eager to get the manuscript of the poem, so he couldn't turn around and leave, so he was pulled into the table. At this time, Zhou Dingcheng also came back, nodded and nodded, indicating that the news was indeed correct.

Deqing saw the communication between the two of them, but pretended not to know, he was not disgusted in his heart, he knew that this message was very important to the situation, and it was understandable for people to verify it.

"I said, little master, you don't look like you walked back from Lingnan, and you don't have any dust on your body." Zhou Dingcheng sat down and drank a glass of wine, and looked Deqing up and down.

Xiao Nier kicked him under the table: "Look at what you said, people are not allowed to take a shower and change clothes." You have to come out of the ash heap to be satisfied? โ€

Zhou Dingcheng hurriedly drank with his head bored, not daring to tease the little monk anymore.

Besides, after drinking and chatting with Deqing, I learned that after the two broke up in Fengyang, Deqing began to travel the world, and really went all the way to Danzhou, Hainan, which can be said to have reached the ends of the earth, and then walked all the way back, not by car, without riding a horse, all measured step by step.

"Little master, why are you so yourself, can't you just practice and read the scriptures?" Xiao Nier couldn't help but feel distressed, this way of cultivation is too cruel.

Besides, I didn't expect that Deqing would practice in the way of an ascetic, although he would not suffer much along the way, because there are temples everywhere, and there are places to eat, even if there is no temple, there will be people who are willing to stay and eat with him, and his demeanor is too charming.

"Master, you have traveled all the way, I don't know how many girls will break your heart." Besides, he suddenly said something inexplicable.

Deqing was almost choked by a sip of wine in his mouth, and hurriedly waved his hand to deny: "How is this possible, don't say anything." โ€

Zhou Dingcheng and Xiao Nier looked at Deqing, who was red-faced, and knew that they must have guessed correctly. Deqing is similar in age and has an excellent demeanor, he is simply the reincarnation of Tang Xuanzang, he is definitely a girl killer, it is conceivable that he went all the way and returned, I don't know how many broken girl's hearts were left behind him.

It is not uncommon for girls to love handsome and beautiful monks, the princesses of the Tang Dynasty like to find monks as lovers, from the daughter of Tang Taizong to Wu Zetian, there are no less handsome and strong monks around, and they love to death.

Perhaps it is precisely because monks are not allowed to marry wives that it has become a taboo, and people in the world are full of curiosity about taboos, and the more they can't be tempted, the greater the temptation, which is also one of human nature.

The female Taoist priests in the Tang Dynasty also had many stories, the most famous of which was the beauty of the fish, and her demeanor once attracted many young children to linger. If you take Yu Xuanji to the world, it may not be stunning, but because of her forbidden status, she has added a lot of brilliance. There were many princesses in the Tang Dynasty who liked to become Taoist monks, one was that the Tang Dynasty took Taoism as the state religion, and the other was that Taoist priests were more likely to be merry and happy, and were not bound by secular marriage.

Besides, this speculation made Deqing uncomfortable, as if there was some flaw that was seen through by the situation, of course he didn't have a secular love mind for men and women, but after all, it was also this age, and the impulse of love and desire was inevitable, although he had superb legal principles and could always resolve it in time, but he also left a shadow in his heart. These distracting thoughts can only be completely eliminated when others are middle-aged and the Buddha's teachings have gone further.

"Didn't I say you, little master, why did you become a monk, wasting the excellent talent and good looks that God had given you. Let's just be vulgar. Zhou Dingcheng was even more speechless.

"Sin, sin, good, good." Deqing was so frightened that he hurriedly recited the Buddha's name, as if he was drenched with unclean things.

Xiao Nier rarely did not refute Zhou Dingcheng, looked at Deqing, and said with pity: "Little master, do you have no home anymore, and you don't have any relatives, so you became a monk." You'd better be vulgar, we'll take care of you. โ€

"That is, when you are still vulgar, I will help you find a daughter-in-law, and I will help you find a rich family. You can do a good job of writing. "Besides, hurry up and make up for it.

Deqing was dumbfounded, what kind of people are these, suffering in the fire house every day, and they don't realize it at all, who is pitiful?

He didn't care what Zhou Dingcheng said, it was almost the instinct of the Taoist family to squeeze into Buddhism, and it was not worth mentioning; He also knew that it was purely to tease him, and he could also ignore it, but Xiao Nier was mellow by nature and told the truth, so she couldn't waste a piece of her kindness.

Deqing couldn't answer for a while.

According to Buddhism, the world is nothing more than a house on fire, and the Buddha once said that I have seven treasures, but in fact, he is persuading these people who are suffering in the fire house but do not know it to escape from the fire house and find coolness.

In fact, in the eyes of the monks, the world is a victim of drunken dreams and death, and no matter how rich and rich you are, you can't escape the level of birth, old age, sickness and death, and in the end you just continue to be reincarnated.

During the Song Dynasty, the master of the Rinzai sect advised his disciples to practice wholeheartedly, telling them that if they did not attain detachment in this life, they would go to the belly of a donkey and a horse to beg for a living in the next life, which meant that if they did not attain detachment, they would be born as animals such as donkeys, horses, and cattle in the next life. The practice of monks in the Song Dynasty of the Five Dynasties was simply desperate, much more desperate than the people of the world who had studied hard for ten years and gained fame and fortune. Think about it, one is to not fall into reincarnation, and the other is just for fame and fortune, which is not on the same level at all.

Deqing thought about it, but still waved his hand, and did not reason with them. But Xiao Nier is still waiting for his answer, and in the face of these three people, how awkward is this topic.
