Originally, Bi Xiao had a lot of complaints about Buddhism, although Zhou Zhou had done a good job of ideological work, but Bi Xiao definitely didn't have a good face. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Female Bodhisattva," Tang Seng made a Buddhist salute.

Zhou Zhou smiled: "This is the mountain wife...... This is the monk I met in the mountains, who came from Chang'an, and went to the west to learn scriptures on the order of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Bi Xiao was wearing a coarse cloth dress at this time, and her face was slightly modified, and she was not such an eye-catching type.

She said in a weird way: "Yo, this monk is still from Chang'an, and he is not very good-looking." ”

Tang Seng was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "The little monk practices the Buddha, if the appearance makes the female Bodhisattva frightened, it is also a great sin." ”

"Hey," Zhou Zhou secretly arched his hand to Bixiao, as if asking for something; Bi Xiao smiled and snorted, turned around and said, "Come in, I'll make you tea." ”

"Elder, please come in," Zhou Zhou made a gesture of please, and a strong man on the side ran over and took away Tang Seng's white horse.

Looking at the several hunters who were playing the white tiger in the distance, Tang Seng was faintly worried about his white horse; But it was only faintly, and it was not really spoken.

Entering the small courtyard, Zhou Zhou untied the animal skin on himself and replaced it with a Bukan shoulder; A maid came over with a basin of water and asked Zhou Zhou to wash his hands and wipe his face.

Zhou Zhou shook off his long hair, "Elder, don't be restrained, just sit casually, just sit casually." ”

"Amitabha," Tang Seng sighed and sat on the stone bench with some restraint.

Bi Xiao came over with tea from the side, put it on the stone table with a pout, and said, "Drink tea." He turned his head away with a cold face.

Under the grape trellis, Zhou Zhou changed into light clothes and sat opposite Tang Seng, and said with a smile: "The mountain wife doesn't understand the rules, so don't be surprised by the elders." ”

"If there is anything to disturb, the little monk might as well leave......

"Hey, how can it be," Zhou Zhou said with a smile, "She just showed me some face, it wasn't too good in the room last night, and the elders don't have to care." My mountain wife, in fact, is still very soft-hearted. ”

What does it mean to be unhappy in the room?

Bi Xiao didn't understand at first, and Tang Seng was already a little shy and sneered.

This Lord Xuanzang is also an old driver in the Central Plains.

"Lord Zhou is kind and giving, and his wife must also be a bodhisattva who worships the Buddha and worships the Buddha," Tang Seng held a prayer bead in his hand and sat straight.

The sun shone on the grape trellis, and the colorful shadows fell on Xuanzang, and he was like a jade man, who was already red and white; No wonder the female benefactors on the road behind refused to let go of this monk.

"I'm the only one in this mountain, and it's useless to be kind and charitable," Zhou Zhou laughed, and accidentally almost talked to death.

However, Tang Seng's ability to answer the call was still quite strong, and he asked: "Does the donor's family live by hunting here on weekdays?" ”

"There is a market for half a day to the east, and I usually take some skins to sell in exchange for some daily things," Zhou Zhou got up and entered the house, came out with his fists clenched, and sat back in place with a smile.

Zhou Zhou: "Elder, guess what's in my hand?" ”

"The little monk has seen it, and there are salt grains falling between the donor's fingers......"

"I thought you didn't know whole grains, you only knew how to eat fasting and chanting scriptures!" Zhou Zhou laughed and spread out his hand, with a pinch of coarse salt in his hand.

Zhou Zhou said: "This salt is actually more important than food. Do the elders know why? ”

Tang Seng suddenly understood in his heart that this benefactor was going to test his eyesight and insight; You don't need to talk about the Dharma, but you need to think about it.

Salt......

"Without him, meat is tasteless?" Tang Seng asked tentatively. In the field of eating meat, he really hasn't set foot in it, and he doesn't understand it.

Zhou Zhou smiled: "That's not the case, if it's hungry, it doesn't matter whether it's tasteful or not, just be able to eat it." He poured his promise on the table and said, "If we don't eat salt for a day, we mortals will have weak hands and feet, and we will have no strength." ”

"Oh?" Tang Seng was a little strange, carefully thinking about his diet in the past few days, but he had not eaten this salt, "Why doesn't the little monk think?" ”

"The elder only eats melons and fruits for a month," Zhou Zhou said with a smile, "This thing is the most precious thing for our hunters in the mountains, but there are many of them in the market, and I am not afraid of running out of salt to eat." ”

Tang Seng looked at the salt carefully, smiled and nodded.

Zhou Zhou's words suddenly changed, "What does the elder think the Buddhist scriptures are like?" What is it like? Why do so many people in the world need it? ”

"Amitabha," Tang Seng made a Buddha salute, and when he heard Zhou Zhou's words, he knew that Zhou Zhou was not an ordinary hunter farmer, and he was deliberately teaching himself.

Tang Seng said: "If it is just decided today, the resentful soul cannot be exceeded everywhere, and the soldiers and bandits are eyeing it; The people are suffering, and the king of Tang is worried......"

Tang Seng began to talk eloquently, Zhou Zhou listened carefully, and nodded or shook his head with a smile from time to time to indicate that he did not agree with this point of view; Gradually, the two chatted under the grape trellises.

Just like that discourse, it was like a small lake on Sky Island, and they sat facing each other.

Originally, they talked freely about their understanding and perception of the Tao; Now they are talking about Buddha and nature, Dharma and the way of life of the people.

Zhou Zhou didn't criticize anything, but every time his words made Tang Seng think, the Buddha beads in his hand would slowly stop.

So repeatedly, it was already sunset, and dinner was thrown on the table by Bixiao, which was picked wild vegetables and fried pastries, so that Zhou Zhou also followed Tang Seng to eat vegetarian.

Zhou Zhou likes to chat with Tang Seng.

Today's Xuanzang is not at all as good as the golden cicada of the year, although the golden cicada is humble and respectful, but in fact, he is very proud in his heart. Xuanzang is really humble, and always puts him in a very low position, so that people can talk to him like a spring breeze, which is very comfortable.

If Buddhism is not mixed with many struggles, I am afraid that the real Buddhist scriptures can also teach good disciples.

It's a pity that Buddhism has too much calculation, too much painstaking management, and too much deterioration in the flood and famine.

Late at night, Zhou Zhou asked his wife Bixiao to prepare a guest room for Xuanzang to rest, Zhou Zhou felt a little emotion inexplicably, and sat under the grape trellis to drink himself.

"Brother, why don't you kill him with a sword?" Bixiao was purely complaining, because before Tang Seng was coming, Zhou Zhou had persuaded her dozens of times.

Zhou Zhou shook his head: "The matter of Journey to the West is not something that can be solved by killing a Tang monk. ”

"Then you still shot at that monkey back then!" Bi Xiao pursed his mouth and touched his face, wanting to change back to his original beautiful appearance, but Zhou Zhou shook his head and refused.

It's better to be safe, there are still many immortals and Buddhas in the sky looking at this side.

Zhou Zhou asked: "Sister, this is only seven or eight miles away from Wuzhi Mountain, and it is only more than ten miles away from where Sun Wukong is, I will send him over tomorrow." ”

"Why do you do that?" Bi Xiao snorted, "Didn't you say before that the monkey's sharp eyes can see through your disguise, at this time, if that monkey jumps out and looks for you for revenge, what should you do?" ”

Zhou Zhou thought about it for the same reason, and he was not happy to talk to Tang Seng today, but he wanted to talk more all the way.

"Then send him to the outside of Wuzhi Mountain," Zhou Zhou shook his head with a smile and drank a glass of wine, "This monk has a good personality, but he seems to be a little pedantic." ”

Bi Xiao snorted, took a wine glass and drank it beside him.

After staying for a short time, the two went back to their rooms to rest.

Although they shared the same bed, the pair of sisters and brothers slept in harmony, and nothing indescribable happened.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhou Zhou continued to receive Tang Seng, but Tang Seng had the intention of leaving.

Zhou Zhou said: "Let's wait for me to change my clothes, put on a bow and arrows, and give the elders a ride." ”

Tang Seng hurriedly excused himself, but Zhou Zhou said that there were many tigers, leopards and wolves in the mountains, and Tang Seng instantly confessed......

Along the way, Tang Seng was still talking about some powerful Buddhist classics and the past, and Zhou Zhou listened to it as a fairy tale - fairy tales are all lies.

Tang Seng led the white horse, Zhou Zhou carried a bow and arrow, and the two walked on the hillside.

In the distance, the outline of Wuzhi Mountain is faintly visible, and it is already lush and overgrown with all kinds of plants, but there are very few animals.

"What do you want to do when the elder travels west this time? How many miles to travel? ”

"Go to the Great Leiyin Temple in the West Heaven Buddha Realm, I don't know how many miles," Tang Seng's eyes were full of peace, as if walking on this road could make him find his belonging, "Even if it is difficult and dangerous, the little monk must obtain the true scriptures and complete his long-cherished wish." ”

Zhou Zhou smiled and nodded, "Everyone has a dream in their hearts, and those who can persist in doing it are the real walkers." Elder, the true meaning of this makes Zhou have a feeling. ”

"Lord Zhou is also a person with Buddha nature and Buddha heart," Tang Seng saw the picture of a few strong men slaughtering tigers in front of his eyes, and he was also a little frightened, "I just hope that Lord Zhou will do less killing in the future, and he will be blessed and prolonged." ”

"Hahaha, the elder laughed," Zhou Zhou sighed, "That's what I do." ”

Tang Seng asked: "If you cultivate at home, can't you be hungry?" ”

Zhou Zhou calmly counterattacked: "Do the elders know what the seven emotions and six desires are? ”

"Naturally, I know that the little monk seeks Buddhism in order to transcend the seven emotions and six desires."

"The elder's words are wrong, but the seven emotions and six desires can't be shaken off," Zhou Zhou shook his head and asked rhetorically, "The happy land in the elder's heart, the great cause of learning from the scriptures, but a blissful place for everyone to believe in Buddhism and cultivate Buddhism?" ”

Tang Seng thought for a while and nodded: "Not bad." ”

"Then the elder thinks that is the most appropriate and straightforward way to practice as a monk?"

Tang Seng continued to think about it, and nodded again: "It's not bad." ”

Zhou Zhou said with a smile: "Then everyone just go to be a monk, and don't do any emotions and six desires." At that time, if a state capital is full of monks, a state capital will be out of population in just a hundred years, and if a country is full of monks, eighty percent will also be out of people. ”

"This ......" Tang Seng didn't know how to argue for a while.

Zhou Zhou continued: "The elder wants to say that the cultivation of monks can wait for bliss, and the whole country soars to the top, isn't it a beautiful talk? ”

Tang Seng nodded and said with a smile: "Although it's not all, it's not far away." ”

"But the elder has seen so many people, and he should know at this time that even if some people cultivate Buddhahood, the six roots are impure and their minds are restless, and I am afraid it will be difficult to become a Buddha." Zhou Zhou said solemnly, "Who can guarantee that those who believe in Buddhism will become Buddhas after death?" If this is the case, wouldn't the Buddha realm be a miasma because there are too many human beings? ”

"This ......"

"Since not everyone can become a Buddha, what is said in the Buddhist scriptures that no one can be saved, isn't it just a joke?"

Tang Seng said: "Regardless of anything else, it is also good for Buddhism to persuade people to be good. ”

"It is true that Buddhism persuades people to be good, but the way to persuade people to be good is only to forbear and not resist," Zhou Zhou sighed, "This journey to the west, you will definitely be able to appreciate many countries." Look with your eyes, listen to the voices of the nations with your heart, and think again about what the scriptures you ask for. ”

Xuanzang's body was slightly for a while, as if his expression was a little trance.

He turned his head to look again, but he forgot what he had just heard, and only felt that a word was sealed in his heart, but he couldn't catch it.

Zhou Zhou's words just now didn't use supernatural powers, he was just speaking, and even the content of the heavenly immortals and Buddhas could be heard clearly.

Everyone thinks that this simple statement cannot shake the reincarnation of the golden cicada, after all, this is the unleaked scripture of the ninth Yuanyang; And Zhou Zhou said that these are also reasonable, and it reveals a sense of helplessness that cannot stop the journey to the west.

"There's your chance in the mountain ahead, go Elder."

Zhou Zhou stopped and said to Tang Seng with a smile.

Tang Seng knew that this was a strange person, and made a Buddha salute to Zhou Zhou, calling him Amitabha, and then rode forward and went towards Wuzhi Mountain.

After looking at Tang Seng's background for a while, Zhou Zhou hummed some tunes and turned back to the mountain.

Suddenly, a breath in the mountain rose to the sky, Zhou Zhou was shocked, and immediately looked at it with his immortal sense, and suddenly felt like a great enemy.

Bi Xiao was standing in the middle of the room, drawing her sword at a beautiful woman......
