Chapter 509: Three Refuges!
After being kicked out of the wing room by Lin Huayin, Xiao Zheng strolled through the moonlit temple with a cigarette in his mouth, and his mood was extremely ethereal, as if he really had a sense of epiphany baptized by Buddhism.
The temple is not big, and it only takes a few minutes to go around. Xiao Zheng, who suffers from mild ADHD, went to the front door of the temple after reading it, went back to the back mountain after reading the front door, and then paused at the mountain gate, smoking a cigarette to see Li Jing who was standing on the hillside and fighting martial arts.
Li Jing is indeed a hidden master. With one punch and one kick, it seems to be as soft as a palace maid dancing, but Xiao Zheng can see that if Li Jing strikes with all his strength, even if it is himself, he may not dare to fight head-on, and he needs to avoid his edge.
And she has been willing to follow Ye Yuhua for many years. It can be seen that the two have a deep relationship.
Li Jing's face is not outstanding, and judging from a man whose eyesight is not outstanding, she is also an ordinary monk who eats fasting and recites Buddha. Unlike his mother-in-law, even if she is wearing green clothes, she also has an outstanding temperament and a beautiful face that makes her eyes shine.
Perhaps sensing Xiao Zheng's existence, Li Jing quickly put away his movements, turned around slowly, and nodded lightly to Xiao Zheng: "You haven't slept so late?" ”
"Is it late?" Xiao Zheng took a puff of his cigarette and glanced at the lights under the mountain. Dense as beans, out of reach. "In normal times, your young lady hasn't even gotten off work. I'm still eating and drinking with a bunch of friends. ”
Li Jing smiled lightly, but there was obviously a trace of trance in her eyes.
Oh, yes.
It's only eight o'clock in the evening. In the bustling and noisy city, it is the time when the lights are on. Especially tonight, I'm afraid no one will go to sleep before 12 o'clock, right? Even if you sleep, you will be woken up by the dense sound of firecrackers.
Li Jing has lived here for more than 20 years, and has long forgotten the life under the mountain, falling asleep at nine o'clock every night and getting up at four o'clock in the morning. Twenty years is like a day, more accurate than a machine. How do you know that at this moment, it is really too early for Xiao Zheng?
"I forgot you only went up the mountain today." Li Jing smiled slightly and said.
Xiao Zheng didn't mind, nodded and said, "Aunt Jing, with your own means, you must have been a famous figure in Yanjing back then, right?" ”
Li Jing's strength may not be as good as that of the White Emperor Bai Wufang, but it is really difficult for Xiao Zheng to judge the strength of Li Jing and Tina.
It can be seen that although Li Jing has lived in seclusion here for more than 20 years, she has never slackened, and her strength will only go to a higher level than 20 years ago.
"I'm just a maid of the Ye family, so where can I say that there are any big people." Li Jing smiled. "It's you, on the other hand, who are great people right now. Even my sister frequently praises you. ”
Xiao Zheng scratched his head and smiled: "This is called the mother-in-law to look at her son-in-law, the more she looks at it, the more pleasing it is." It's not like I'm really capable of anything. ”
Li Jing shook her head with a smile: "Even if the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, she must be a son-in-law who can see it." Otherwise, it will only become more and more unpleasant to the eye. ”
Compared with Ye Yuhua's Buddha nature, Li Jing is obviously closer to the character of ordinary people. Whether it is words and deeds, it is not as good as Ye Yuhua's quiet wisdom. But she has always followed Ye Yuhua for more than 20 years of self-cultivation, and the edges and corners on her body must have been worn off a lot. Left and right were bored, Xiao Zheng couldn't help asking: "Aunt Jing, although I don't believe in Buddhism, I have always been interested in Buddhism. Can you tell me a few stories about Buddhism? ”
Li Jing also understood in her heart that Xiao Zheng was bored at the moment, and she didn't refuse, and smiled: "Yes." As long as you don't think I'm shallow, there's no Zen. ”
"The shallower the better. It's so esoteric that I don't understand. Xiao Zheng sat cross-legged, under a crooked-necked tree on the side of the hill.
Li Jing has been following Ye Yuhua to learn Buddhism and sitting meditation for decades, even if her heart has already been calm, but her nature is her nature, and if she wants to learn Ye Yuhua's great perseverance and wisdom, it will definitely not be possible. Now there is a fresh and interesting young man to chat with her, and she naturally likes it.
Slowly sitting under the crooked neck tree, facing the bright moonlight, Li Jing's face was flushed with a warm smile, and she said with a peaceful face: "Ah Zheng, even if you don't know much about Buddhism, you must have heard the phrase "taking refuge in the Three Jewels, right?" ”
"Definitely." Xiao Zheng smiled and nodded. "The old monk in the TV movie came to say take refuge in the Three Jewels. But I don't really understand the three treasures. ”
Li Jing smiled slightly and said slowly: "I'll tell you a little story, and you'll understand." ”
Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Aunt Jing, say it quickly." ”
Li Jing paused, and said softly: "Once upon a time, there was an old monk who was always taken care of by thieves, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore. One day, the thief came again. Then he said to the thief, "Put your hand through the crack in the door." Whatever you want, I'll give you. The thief was overjoyed to hear this. He put his hand through the crack in the door. Unexpectedly, the old monk grabbed his hand and tied him to the pillar. Then beat him with a stick, shouting and shouting as he went: Strange Buddha, take refuge in the law, take refuge in the Sangha. The thief was in great pain, and helplessly shouted: Take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the law, take refuge in the Sangha. This is the famous story of the three refuges in the Buddhist scriptures. This is what people often call the Three Jewels of Refuge. ”
Xiao Zheng quietly listened to the story of the three refuges told by Li Jing, and a trace of subtle emotion arose in his heart, and he asked softly, "Is the Buddha you cultivate the same as the Buddha cultivated by monks?" This story is about the Buddha of the monks. ”
This is also Xiao Zheng's doubts all along.
"The Dharma of the world is universal to all sentient beings. Nature is the same. Li Jing smiled slightly, and said softly. It's just that this story is not what I have seen in Buddhist scriptures. ”
"Where did you know that?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
"No." Li Jing raised his hand and pointed to a cliff at the bottom of the mountain.
On top of the cliff, there is a small wooden house. In the wooden house, an old monk lived in seclusion for many years. This monk, whose name is flawless, is called the White Emperor. There's a dragon on it.
"The story was told by Uncle Bai?" Xiao Zheng's brows stretched slightly, and he asked slowly.
"Hmm." Li Jing chuckled and nodded. This is what he said when he and his sister first discussed the scriptures. It's under this crooked-necked locust tree. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but slowly retract his gaze, then raised his head and glanced at the old locust tree that was almost withered, and a meaningful bitter smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Back then, the supreme King of Baicheng insisted on going his own way, climbed the nameless Fengming Mountain, entrenched on the mountainside, and became a Buddha on the ground. Just to be accompanied by the phoenix on the top of the mountain.
That year, that day, he told the story of the three refuges. But those are the three refuges in the Buddhist scriptures, but they are not his.
"Take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the law, take refuge - Ye Yuhua." Xiao Zheng muttered to himself, his voice low. "This is the three refuges in his heart, right?"
