The forty-sixth returned to the empty room and sat down

On both sides of the door of the hall hangs a pair of woodcut couplets, which look like they are some years old.

"The incense accumulates into the samadhi, and the bowl and rice turn into a woman. [Note 1] Qin Ying stood in front of the door of the dining hall, raised his head and whispered.

"There are only ten words left and right, but you are wrong for three sounds." Such as seven look at the couplet.

She sighed with pretended regret: "Xiaodao has a pitiful lack of literacy, no wonder. ”

Ruqi Fangcai was just teasing her, and when he saw this, he hurriedly said: "The little monk doesn't mean to look down on you. He read the couplet according to the correct pronunciation and told her the allusions.

In the "Vimala Sutra: Incense Accumulation Products": "It is the transformation of the Bodhisattva to fill the fragrant rice with Vimala, and the rice incense is Puxun Viya and the three thousand worlds." ”

"So the rice was also called fragrant rice." He concluded by saying.

Qin Ying smashed her mouth: "What are the samadhi and the sava?" ”

- Actually, she really wanted to ask Ruqi, can you eat this?

Ru Qiyi replied solemnly: "Probably to say, eating fragrant rice can reach some kind of incredible realm." ”

She felt strange, lowered her head and muttered, "Isn't it just a meal, what other tricks can you eat?" ”

Raising his legs and stepping into the threshold of the hall, the monks inside had already sat in front of Xiao Changji, waiting for the last two to come.

Qin Ying knew that he had missed the hour, and walked to the back of the case in full view of everyone.

took the hem of her robe and sat down, and Ruqi, who was sitting next to her, handed her a silk book. There are still a few lines of small handwriting written on it.

- Do you still have to read this when you eat?

Her eyes widened, and she tried to ask Ruqi silently.

However, Ruqi sat with his eyes and nose and nose attentively, and he didn't see the eyes Qin Ying gave him at all.

The hall was quiet for a while, and the first monk knocked on the wooden fish in front of him a few times, and the monks immediately folded their hands when they heard this.

"Porridge has ten benefits. Benefit pedestrians. The rewards are boundless. In the end, Changle. ”

Vena led the monks to recite the offering before the meal.

She read it intermittently to the tune that didn't know how to rise and fall, and the cold sweat soaked her middle clothes.

A few small novices carried trays and placed porridge for everyone present in turn.

No one spoke, and no one moved chopsticks. for the first seat has not yet commanded a meal.

When the little novices arrived at her side, Qin Ying's eyes lit up, thinking that what kind of delicacies would come up.

When I saw that the bowl was only yellow rice porridge, there were a few green plantain leaves floating in it.

Qin Ying didn't know how to describe her current mood.

The novices served their last porridge and held their knees back to their seats.

"Iftar." The familiar sound of a wooden fish accompanied the human voice.

Ruqi pressed the other sleeve with one hand and took the porridge bowl to eat.

As soon as Qin Ying wanted to say something to Ruqi, he said with his lips: "Shh, stop talking." She turned her head whimsically.

The porridge water was very bland, and after drinking it, Qin Ying suddenly felt that she had returned to Zhong Lu Pavilion.

No, she works as a servant in Zhong Luge, so she has a small plate of peanuts with porridge.

The first monk squinted and saw that the monks had finished breakfast, so he called for a fast.

Ruqi put down the dishes and chopsticks after hearing this, and followed the others to recite the "Quasi-Ti Mantra":

"Sadonam. The three bodhisattvas. Ku Hao Nan. Beat him. Hmmm. Fold the subordination of the lord to the quasi-Tisa Bha. ”

Qin Ying was dizzy by these incomprehensible singing, she was stunned for a while, and finally caught the simple sentence.

"The so-called giver. will reap its benefits. If it's for the sake of giving. and then they will be happy. The meal is gone. May all beings. Do whatever you do. With all the Dharma. ”

With an unlucky look on his face, Qin Ying complained in a low voice: "What kind of day are you living now, chanting mantras in morning classes, and reciting mantras during meals." There is no time when you don't chant mantras. ”

Ruqi glanced at her expression of wanting to cry without tears, and laughed lowly: "You'll have to suffer later." ”

"What's that?" Qin Ying asked in surprise.

At this time, the cloud board hanging between the wooden frames was knocked by the monk again, and she was startled suddenly.

A certain tiger-headed and tiger-brained little novice came up and answered: "I am going to the main hall to meditate for an hour." ”

After hearing this, Qin Ying stuffed the dishes and chopsticks in his hand into Ruqi's arms, and was about to sneak away.

Clinker's age-spotted hand slowly but surely grabbed the collar of her robe behind her.

The old man said solemnly: "Since Daoist Qin is a respected guest of Longtian Temple, he should observe the Sangha system of my temple when he comes."

Qin Ying turned back with an embarrassed face, and said dryly: "Xiaodao is disrespectful." ”

A few words were squeezed out of her clenched teeth.

The old man was wearing a light golden monk's robe, and he must have a very outstanding position in the temple.

No matter how willful Qin Ying is, he can't slap the old man's face in public and ignore his request.

Isn't there an old saying that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake?

The strong dragon stays on the territory of the head snake, and it is still necessary to try to keep a low profile.

The old man looked at Qin Ying and Ru for a long time before walking away without a word.

Qin Ying stood on the first step in front of the hall in a daze, his eyes full of unhappiness.

- Hmph. Honorable guests. They kept calling these two words, but they used them to coerce me.

Ruqi comforted him on the side: "You Taoists also practice meditation." Don't be nervous, the form is pretty much the same. ”

"I'm very poor at meditation." Qin Ying said with a sad face.

In her previous life, Qin Xi taught her the essentials of meditation, and she taught her for many days with no effect.

Qin Xi, who prides himself on having a good temper, was stiffened by this unsuccessful little girl.

Qin Ying was innocent about this, she just couldn't hold it for a long time with her legs crossed, and she didn't deliberately go against her sister.

Later, "meditation" became a taboo word that could not be mentioned during the long lives of the sisters.

Qin Ying in this life has learned some tricks under Ning Fengzi's teaching.

Ning Fengzi had a loose temperament, and after he knew that Qin Ying had learned the trick, he rarely urged her to meditate.

So Qin Ying still has no bottom about meditation.

Instead of making jokes in front of the monks of Longtian Temple, she still didn't get involved in this matter. But she still didn't escape.

The time was near, and when the monks had entered the hall, the first monk asked a few people to close all the doors of the hall, leaving only a high window.

The first monk crossed his head on the left, knocked on the chime and said, "The posture used for meditation is to sit on seven branches. I have burned incense, and when the incense is gone, you will be able to sit down. With that, he closed his eyes slightly.

Qin Ying sat down on a single plate on a three-foot-high cushion, praying that she would be able to move faster in the next hour.

At this time, Venus took the ruler and walked in the hall, reciting the seven rules while checking the situation of the audience.

"The spine is straight. Place the back of your right hand flat on your left palm, and gently touch your two thumbs. The left and right shoulders are slightly spread. ”

When he walked in front of Qin Ying, he patted Qin Ying's left shoulder with a ring ruler, intending to make her relax.

"The head is straight. The back of the head is slightly retracted. The anterior jaw is adducted. The eyes are slightly open. Gently touch the tongue against the palate. [Note 2]"

Only a quarter of an hour later, Qin Ying's back trembled. The leg that is pressed down is hurting, and the leg that is pressed on the top is also hurting.

In the previous life and this life combined, she has studied for hundreds of years, and there is still no obvious progress
