Chapter 56: Go and Stay
Master Mingjue shook the little guy in his hand again, and emphasized it again: "This is a lone wolf, without a mother, and is about to starve to death." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Hmm." Xue Ying nodded, indicating that she already understood it very well-she had said it a second time, could she still not understand?
"And then?" Master Mingjue asked.
And then?
Xue Ying looked back with a confused look.
Master Mingjue finally couldn't help it: "Don't you think it's pitiful?" ”
Xue Ying nodded in agreement: "It's pitiful." ”
"And then?"
What's wrong with Master Mingjue today? Xue Ying felt that Master Mingjue was very strange, and at the same time secretly reflected on whether she was too stupid, Master Mingjue had emphasized that she had not grasped the main point for several rounds.
She looked at Master Mingjue's face full of hope, and then at the little wolf who had been struggling and gradually becoming weaker and weaker, and said with some hesitation: "You want me to cut the meat and feed it?" ”
This time it was Master Mingjue's turn to be dumbfounded: "It didn't get to that point......
"And you're hoping I adopt it?"
"That's right!" Master Mingjue nodded vigorously - if Xue Ying couldn't guess her intentions again, she would really jump to her feet.
"I'm not going to adopt it." Xue Ying said resolutely.
Master Mingjue paused and asked, "Because Ganxiao Temple is a place of Buddhism, there is no meat to feed?" ”
Xue Ying shook her head: "If you want to raise it, even if there is no meat in Ganxiao Temple, Master Mingtu always has it, and no matter how bad it is, you can send it back to Jiuquan Beizhuang." ”
"Then why?"
"Because I don't want to." Xue Ying lowered her head, her tone still firm.
"It's always ...... Is there any reason? Master Mingjue slowly lowered the hand holding the little wolf, "If you don't raise it, it will die soon." ”
"It's a wolf, not a dog. What is the difference between turning a beast into a human animal and killing it? ”
"Didn't you just say that it was pathetic?"
"In this mountain forest, there are birds and beasts that die every day, and they are also pitiful. Birth, old age, sickness and death, everything is suffering. When the wolf eats a hare to fill its belly, I can't stop it; In the same way, when nature wants to weed out the weak one, I can't stop it. ”
"Which is more pitiful, a rabbit that has been eaten, or a wolf that is about to starve to death?"
Xue Ying thought about it seriously and replied, "It's all pitiful." Rabbits that are eaten, rabbits that are not eaten; The wolf that is about to starve to death and the wolf who is well fed, each is pitiful. ”
There was a moment of silence between the two.
Master Mingjue threw the little wolf out, and the little wolf let out a low cry, turned around and fled in embarrassment. "Uncle Mingli said that if you adopt this wolf today, you can go home and never use it again. As for your mother, there is no longer a need for peace charms. If you don't adopt this wolf, then you will continue to come to Ganxiao Temple next year to practice and ask for a peace charm for your mother. ”
Xue Ying looked up at her in some surprise. It was indeed a lone wolf just now, and its appearance was purely accidental, not deliberately arranged. She originally thought that Master Mingjue had just done it casually and assessed her a little, but now it seemed that the omniscient Master Mingli had already predicted what would happen today.
Master Mingjue asked, "Do you know why?" ”
Xue Ying shook her head: "I don't know." ”
"I don't understand it either." Master Mingjue shook his head with a puzzled expression, "What do you mean by this?" What can you prove if you don't adopt that wolf? ”
Xue Ying didn't answer, but she remembered something.
She read the villain book before and read a story about the "Queen of Yunmeng Kingdom". Legend has it that the queen of Yunmengguo was originally the daughter of a mountain woodcutter, named Su Lan, one day she saved a lone wolf who lost her parents and raised it, the lone wolf was grateful, and after becoming the wolf king, she has been left and right, and later the wolf king and Su Lan together saved the prince who was chased by the rebels, the prince fell in love with Su Lan at first sight and married him, and later Su Lan and the prince led the wolves to defeat the rebels, the prince ascended the throne and became the emperor, Su Lan became the queen, the wolf king was named the national beast, and the queen of Su Lan also specially established the wolf palace for the wolf king to live.
Not to mention the logical loopholes such as a wolf who was raised and raised became a wolf king, and two powerless people with a pack of wolves can defeat an army, that ending alone made Xue Ying complain powerlessly-building a gorgeous palace for a wolf to live in, even if it is a reward?
This is obviously more like revenge, right?
But what does Master Mingli's test mean? It seemed that if she adopted the wolf, she would be able to solve her mother's illness at once, and she would not need to suffer from Qing Xiu in the future.
But why did she feel that it was not a good thing?
At the same time, Mingtu, who was sitting on the wall of Ganxiao Temple, was a little irritable, his heels knocked against the wall, and Changxiao in his hand kept shaking it around, and there was no time to settle down.
Master Mingyuan walked to a place not far from her and stopped, and asked, "What choice do you think Mingche will make?" ”
Mingtu didn't answer, and after thinking about it, he scratched his scalp irritably: "My head is itchy, you shave my head!" ”
"I just shaved it the day before yesterday." Mingyuan glanced at her coldly, "It seems that you're not sure, right?" ”
Mingtu looked in the direction where Mingjue and Xue Ying were, and was silent for a while before saying, "Little junior sister, it's been thirty-two years since I came to Ganxiao Temple, but until now, I'm not sure if I've been worth all these years. ”
Mingyuan frowned slightly, and after a long time, sighed.
"To put it nicely, I am protecting the fortunes of the country and protecting the peace of the world, but in fact?" Mingtu looked at the sky, and the corners of his mouth flashed with mockery, "Actually, I'm just a pawn of some people who go against the sky." ”
"There are also willing and unwilling, understanding and confused." Mingyuan comforted.
"Who knows what kind of person I am?" Mingtu jumped down, "In short, this Ganxiao Temple is not the pure place outside the world that the kid imagined at all. If she doesn't stay, I'll be disappointed; I stayed, and I was afraid that she would be disappointed. ”
"Do you like her?" Mingyuan asked.
Mingtu thought for a long time and asked, "Do you think I like myself?" ”
"She's not you." Mingyuan is very sure.
Mingtu raised his eyebrows slightly to express doubt.
"You may have seen a shadow of yourself in her, but whether it was then or now, your heart is full of anger, but from the beginning, she came with piety. You hate the temple of filial piety, but she doesn't. ”
"That's why I said I'm afraid she'll be disappointed."
"Ganxiao Temple saved her mother's life and didn't break her promise, why should she be disappointed?"
"She's not asking for ......"
"All she wants is her mother's safety." Mingyuan interrupted her, "Other than that, she didn't make any other requests to the Buddha. Even if she had some other purpose in mind, as long as it was not a request, there would be no disappointment. ”
Mingtu was dizzy and stayed there for a while.
Mingyuan patted her on the shoulder: "This Ganxiao Temple may indeed not be a pure place far away from the red dust, but in fact, only you mind this." ”
"Why?" Mingtu asked a little dryly.
"Because you are the only one who really has feelings for Ganxiao Temple."
Mingtu was stunned for a long time before he smiled self-deprecatingly: "I am not a qualified monk after all, and I can not see it as well as you. ”
