Chapter 14 The World of Flowers and Meat

The Yin and Yang Realm of Mount Tai began to have a child named Ling Fengyun who was jumping around. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are also two old men, one old man he called grandpa, and took him to the opposite cliff every day to find another old man, and that old man he called Master. Grandpa carried him on his back at first, then led him, and then followed him every day.

Master, since he was two years old, he has been given Dan, some of which are sweet and some of which are bitter, and he has to eat them whether he wants them or not. Then give him a bath, and there are always some leaves and bark in the tub, which is quite fun, but the water is sometimes cold and sometimes hot, whether you want to soak it or not. Then, it is to give him a massage, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, sometimes comfortable and sometimes uncomfortable, whether he wants to or not. I also have to teach him to sleep, teach him to breathe, teach him to meditate, concentrate on pranayama, pranayama and concentration, breathe long and short, and breathe long and short, which is very troublesome, but after a long time, I will get used to it. You should also close your eyes and practice whole-body observation, look with your mind, look at your body, even look into your own body, look at your brain, look at your eyes, look at your nose, look at your ears, look at your mouth, look at your internal organs, and look at your bones.

Anyway, this master urges Xiao Fengyun to practice this and that every day, and grandpa also listens to the master and supervises him together.

However, Xiao Fengyun doesn't hate this master either, because as long as Xiao Fengyun practices well, Xiao Fengyun will be rewarded, either a delicious snack or a story, which Xiao Fengyun is very satisfied with. Xiao Fengyun likes to listen to stories the most, and there seem to be a lot of stories in the master's stomach, but there are none in the grandfather's stomach.

But suddenly one day, the master stopped telling stories, saying that he had finished the stories in his stomach. Then, he took out a book and said that it was called Zizhi Tongjian, and in the future, the master could only teach him to read and write according to this book, and he was really stingy when he knew where he could speak.

Xiao Fengyun is free except for this time, do whatever you want. However, there is not much to do outside except chasing, catching, and fishing for some small animals.

There is also an uncle on the south cliff, he doesn't seem to be very happy every day, but he is also very good to Fengyun, sometimes Fengyun destroys the vegetables he grows, the crops he planted, he is not angry, but he doesn't like to talk very much, and he always likes to hold a medical book to read.

Mom doesn't read medical books, in addition to cooking for Fengyun and them every day, Mom likes to read scriptures and play the piano.

There is no way, idle and boring, Fengyun can only play the piano with his mother. Master and that uncle can also play the piano, Fengyun can play with them, but Grandpa can't play. Mom, Master, and Uncle play the piano very well, but at first Fengyun played it was very difficult, and he could only play one note at a time, but now Fengyun also plays well. Especially holding the piano, blowing the wind, and playing next to the Black Dragon Pond Waterfall, Fengyun feels very comfortable.

However, grandpa and they all play chess, whether it is chess or Go. They can all play with Fengyun, sometimes they play with each other, and sometimes they play with a book and chess games by themselves.

Grandpa is still a little stupid, grandpa can't draw, mother, master, uncle can, and the three of them can also play and paint with Fengyun.

In addition, there is also a person called Senior Brother, but he is older than his uncle, his name is Void Son, he is said to be the host of Lingying Palace, and he will come every once in a while, either with noodles on his back, or rice on his back, and there is nothing to eat anyway.

Fengyun still looks forward to the three uncles coming, but they don't come often, sometimes they come alone, sometimes they come together, Fengyun still hopes that they will be separated. In this way, there are often all kinds of delicious food, as well as toys, but later after there are some toys, the master will not let them bring any more toys, they can only bring delicious food, and they can only be handed over to the master as a reward to eat slowly, the master is too domineering, Fengyun has protested many times.

Fengyun likes the uncle named Ren Piaopiao the most, but that uncle is too thin and small, it must be because he can't eat well. That uncle is the most fun, not only will he bring all kinds of delicious food to Fengyun, but he will also play tricks. However, Mom and Master seemed to be particularly wary of him, saying that they were afraid of being taught bad by him. Once, he taught Fengyun a trick to turn things in other people's pockets into his own, but Fengyun and he were scolded by his mother and master, saying that this kind of trick could only be handed over to him by Uncle Ren when he grew up. So what does it matter? Adults are always so weird. However, since then, Uncle Ren can no longer be alone with Fengyun, either accompanied by an uncle named Xubin, or accompanied by his grandfather, and often teaches him not to talk nonsense, Uncle Ren always giggles, and he is not angry, he still often comes to see Fengyun, his heart is really wide.

That uncle Xu doesn't like to talk very much, and his temper is similar to that of his grandfather, but Uncle Ren said that he only laughs when he sees Fengyun, and he usually doesn't laugh, and Fengyun feels a little strange.

Fengyun's least favorite among the three uncles is the uncle named Zhang Meng, because he likes to hug Fengyun the most, and he also Fengyun's face with his beard, Fengyun annoys his beard, just count his beard as the hardest, and he is still a little stinky and sour. But looking at the food he brings, Fengyun sometimes misses him.

Oh, and there is also an aunt named Tang Sai'er, who Fengyun almost forgot about because she only came once a year before Fengyun's birthday. Of course, she will bring birthday gifts to Fengyun, as well as the clothes she sews for Fengyun herself, it can be seen that she is very fond of Fengyun. But every time she came, she would take everyone to the grave, and Fengyun would kowtow to the two graves several times, saying that the one who slept there was her father and the other was Uncle Lin. And as soon as she came, her mother and her would always cry and cry, and her mother would always be sad for many days. Therefore, sometimes Fengyun thinks that it is better for this aunt not to come, and Fengyun is willing not to have gifts and clothes, although it seems that her mother and everyone like her very much.

Now, Fengyun is five years old, and he has already learned a lot of words, and he can read some stories of Zizhi Tongjian alone. On this day, the master said to his grandfather: "There is a temple fair in Mount Tai these days, you can take Fengyun to see the temple fair, and you will have a long insight." ”

So the grandfather came to see the temple fair with his back to the wind and clouds. The temple fair is so lively, Fengyun has never seen so many people, men, women and children, dressed in colorful clothes, some playing, some singing, and all kinds of fragrant things, some Fengyun has eaten, and some have not eaten. Fengyun was so busy that he didn't know where to look.

On the first day, Fengyun feasted his eyes. In addition, he also ate something he had never eaten before, roast chicken, which he bought from his grandfather for a long time. It's really fragrant, Fengyun feels like his mouth is full of oil, and grandpa also said that it is fragrant. Grandpa saw Fengyun eating like a gluttonous cat, touched his head lovingly, gritted his teeth, yes, whatever you want to eat, grandpa will buy it for you, grandpa is really generous. But Grandpa has a condition, he must keep it secret, and he can't tell his mother, master, and uncle when he goes back, especially Master, otherwise he won't buy it for him. Hee-hee, these two old men played hide and seek for the first time, and Fengyun also had a secret for the first time.

In this way, Fengyun went to play every day, played for three days in a row, ate all the delicious food, and played all the fun things.

When he went back, Fengyun knew that the fish in the Black Dragon Pond could not only be played, but also eaten, so he caught it and asked his mother to make it. I heard my grandfather say to the master, "I'm sorry, Dao Chief, this kid has started killing and eating meat, do you think it's okay?" "Fengyun knew that the master was a Taoist priest and could not kill or eat meat.

The Master replied, "Let it be, he is a lay disciple. Besides, there are also sects in Taoism where you can eat meat and get married. It's just that Ben Tao is used to vegetarianism and doesn't want to eat meat, but in fact, if you want to eat it, it's okay. After all, the wind and clouds must enter the WTO, and the desire can be led but not suppressed, otherwise the desire will be stronger in the future. In troubled times, there is a degree of rigidity and softness, and we should not be too merciful and weak. ”

Grandpa nodded yes and said, "Thank you, thank you for the long way", and let out a long breath.

Fengyun also defended: "If Taoist priests can't kill, then vegetables, flowers, and crops also have life?" If you can't eat it, won't you starve to death? Will fish be everywhere? So what about when they die of old age? Master and Grandpa listened, but they couldn't answer.

On the fourth day, the Master said, "Today, the poor path will come with you." So, the three of them came to the temple fair together.

Master said to him, "Fengyun, this is money for you, you can play by yourself today, you can play as much as you want, eat whatever you want, and when the sun is about to set, we will wait for you under this big willow tree." "Okay." Fengyun was very happy and quickly answered. So, the master dragged his grandfather away.

Fengyun happily left too, and went to buy two small meat pancakes first. Without grandpa staring, Fengyun feels like a bird of freedom. Fengyun likes to eat this kind of small meat cake, the size of a chess piece, pork filling, puff pastry, and it is best eaten while it is hot.

As soon as Fengyun took two hot and crispy small meat cakes from his hands, he saw a tattered and dirty child about his age come over, stretched out his hand to him and begged, "Young master, give me something to eat." ”

Fengyun saw his pitiful appearance and felt very uncomfortable, so he gave him a small meat cake. The boy was so happy that he quickly took it, and he was not afraid of being hot, so he swallowed it in two or three bites.

Fengyun saw that he was happy to eat, so he handed him another baked cake and said, "Here, eat." ”

Suddenly, at this time, several dirty children appeared out of nowhere, all stretched out their hands, and said to Fengyun: "Young master, give me something to eat." ”

Seeing this, Fengyun had to say, "Boss, let's have some more small meat cakes." Then he bought all the money into small meat cakes, and gave the children a penny, and did not eat them himself. But Fengyun was pleased, as if he had eaten it himself.

Akamatsu Daochang, who was far behind him, smiled and sighed to Zhuo Bufan: "It is human nature to pity the poor and help the weak. Zhuo Bufan also smiled and nodded.

After Fengyun finished spending the money, he went back to the big willow tree, went to find the master and grandfather, and wanted to order more, but he didn't wait for a long time. I had no choice but to go and play first.

When it was noon, Fengyun didn't want to slip away, because he felt tired, hungry, and thirsty. I couldn't stand it anymore, so Fengyun had an idea, learned from those children, stretched out his hand to the guy who sold baked cakes that morning, and said pitifully: "Uncle, give me a baked cake." ”

"A penny." The guy said.

"I have no money.".

The acquaintance who sold the baked cakes was the generous child in the morning, and said, "Then little brother, you can ask your adults for money and come again, I really can't give you food without money." ”

Fengyun had to run to another stall selling fried ghosts, and said pitifully: "Uncle, give me a fried ghost, I'm hungry." ”

"A penny." The guy said.

"I don't have any money.".

"Get out, get out, get out, there's no money to make a scene." The guy said angrily.

In this way, Fengyun's family turned a lot of stalls, whether it was fire, or cylinder stickers, croaks, and even tea, they couldn't get a bowl of tea, either refused, or were blinded, and sometimes scolded.

Suddenly, Fengyun saw the child who had eaten his small meat cake in the morning, holding a black nest in his hand to nibble on it.

To be honest, Fengyun doesn't like to eat that thing, helplessly, Fengyun is very hungry. So he went up to the boy and said, "Give me something to eat." When the child saw that it was Fengyun, he shook his head, lowered his head, and ran away.

Fengyun was tired and hungry, thirsty and a little sleepy, so he had to go back to the big willow tree, sit on the ground, lean against the tree, endure hunger, and slowly fall asleep.

After a while, his neck was sore, and he woke up, and Fengyun saw that Master and Grandpa had not come back yet, so he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

That's it, wake up for a while and sleep for a while, Fengyun waits like this, anyway, Fengyun doesn't want to go anywhere now.

"Fengyun, Fengyun." Fengyun heard a voice calling him, rubbed his eyes, and saw that it was almost dark, and it was the master and grandfather who called him, and the grandfather was still carrying drinks and food in his hands.

Fengyun had never found Grandpa and Master so cute and amiable as they were today, and they grunted happily. As soon as I got up, my eyes were black, and I sat on the ground again. When Master and Grandpa saw him like this, they shook their heads and smiled bitterly at each other.

After a while, Fengyun woke up and found his grandfather sitting on the ground holding him to feed him water and drink, and then slowly feed him something.

In the evening, when Grandpa carried him back to the mountain with the Master, the Master said, "Fengyun, this sect emphasizes self-reliance, and you can't reach out to others to ask for something to eat in the future." Be a person who can give to others with his hands down, not a beggar who reaches out to others. ”

"But, Master, how can they ask for something to eat?" Fengyun asked.

"Because, they may have other calamities, they may have no one to take care of them, they may be too young to earn money to eat. However, sometimes when a person is accustomed to reaching out to others, he may not be too lazy to work to earn money, and sometimes he may never have the opportunity to reach down to others again in his life. "Master is always very patient when speaking to Fengyun.

"But, Master, am I hungry?" Fengyun continued to ask.

"That's because we give you money, and you give it to someone else. You are right to sympathize with those children, and both Master and Grandpa are very happy. But when you give to others, you should also be modest, 'if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world', and you should also keep enough for yourself to eat, take care of yourself first, and not become a burden to others, so that you can continue to help others. It's easy to give to others, but it's hard to reach out to others. Master said.

"I see, Master. The story you told me about the Buddha cutting meat and feeding it to eagles is a lie, and if this is the case, how can such a person live? Aren't all good people going to be reduced to beggars before they stop? Fengyun said inferentially.

"It is right to teach people to do good. But if this kind of behavior is deliberately exaggerated, it is against human nature, but it makes people question, makes people feel that it is difficult to do good, it is a very important and formal thing, and the people who are afraid of it dare not learn it, and it is too much. In fact, a bowl of water, a smile, and a comfort are all good, and goodness does not mean selflessness, but when you can help others, try your best to help others, and never harm others for your own selfishness. Akamatsu said long.

"Master, those people have not been educated well, they are not good people, they are too stingy, I asked them for something to eat, they didn't give me anything, and some even scolded me." Fengyun said dissatisfied, feeling that he had suffered a lot of grievances today.

"Fengyun, they scolded you for their fault. But they don't give it to you, they don't give it to you, but they can't say that others are not good people. Others are not obligated to help you, so you can't hold grudges because others don't help you. Maybe someone else has parents, children, and many people at home, and they just sell this little thing to make a living? Maybe people can't even eat their own children and are starving. As long as you don't do anything bad, you're a good person. Cang Liao knows etiquette, who is not willing to be generous? Master comforted.

"Master, I gave that kid a little meat cake to eat, but when I asked him for a black nest, he wouldn't give it to me. Hmph, I'll never give it to him again. Ling Fengyun still pouted.

"That kid wasn't good enough. However, you don't want to repay kindness, and the reason why you are angry is because you have moved your heart to repay kindness. It's hard to reach out to someone, you have already experienced it today, so it is not easy for him to come to that nest, maybe he will have to arrive all morning, maybe this is his dry food for the day, without it, he may be as hungry and faint as you. And the money you pay for the pancakes is what we easily get for you. You have to understand that his nest is more precious to him than your little meat cake is to you. Learn to look at problems from the perspective of others and understand their behavior. So, if you can help him in the future, you should still help him. The master explained again earnestly.

"Yes, Master, I understand." Fengyun said happily: "Moreover, I find that when I don't hate them, my mood is much better. Actually, when I hated them, they didn't know that I was just punishing myself. ”

"Fengyun is so smart." The grandfather who was carrying the wind and clouds also said happily.
