72. Master Huineng

This oolong matter will not make Lou Yuzhu angry, and it is uncomfortable to abandon it. He sincerely regarded Li Shangsun Jinyi and others as friends, and he went to Li Yue for his friends, but the reality slapped him, forgetting that this world does not pay attention to wealth or trenches, but to be noble. Li Shang was born in a powerful family, even if he Lou Yuzhu made more money, in the eyes of others, he was a villain who climbed high and flattered. Thinking of this, Lou Yuzhu probably thought about his relationship with Pei Guanying in the eyes of others, didn't he think that he wanted to climb on Pei Guanying's bed and fly on the branches? But with his background, it is estimated that he can't even enter the gate of the Marquis of Jingyang, does he think he wants to be small? Thinking of this, Lou Yuzhu shuddered fiercely, choking on her own disgust.

Lou Yuzhu, who was disgusted by herself, was even more embarrassed now, and she didn't even have the heart to worship the Buddha and worship the Buddha, so she wanted to come out and hide from Qingjing. It's just that the famous temple of Xixia Temple is full of tourists, and there is no place to even want to be quiet, and finally can only sit on a stone pier in the corner, watch an old monk in cloth sweep the dead leaves, sweep it again, and the result is that the wind blows and has to sweep it again.

"The old monk can't finish sweeping like this for a few days, so it's not too late to wait for the wind to stop and wait for the leaves to be renewed."

The old monk raised his head: "The wind doesn't stop withering leaves, so don't sweep it?" That person dies and doesn't live? ”

Lou Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "The old monk is so interesting, obviously talking about withered leaves, how can it be related to life and death?" ”

"The donor is also very interesting, the old monk's duty is to give a clean environment to the pilgrims, but the donor persuades the old monk not to sweep, so what is the point of the old monk here?"

"I didn't say that I wouldn't let the old monk sweep, I just wanted the old monk to wait for the wind to stop and wait for the leaves to change, and not to spend that amount of work."

"Then the donor knows when the wind stops and when the leaves change?" Seeing Lou Yuzhu stunned, he smiled and said: "Since the donor doesn't know, he advises the old monk to wait, if this wind never stops and the leaves never change, then the old monk will never sweep it?" ”

The old monk had something to say that made Lou Yuzhu stunned, and looked carefully at the old monk in front of him, only to find that this old monk was sluggish, obviously hidden if he was deep and wise, if he was stupid. Seeing this, Lou Yuzhu didn't understand, so she pretended to be angry and said: "I kindly persuaded the old monk not to do useless work, and the old monk didn't say a word of thanks, but the old monk still played tricks on me, what is the reason?" ”

"The old monk told the truth, how can he say that he is playing?"

"And say it's not a joke? I just persuaded him, but the old monk had a deep fear in his words, this is to make me devote myself to the Buddha and become a monk? ”

The old monk smiled: "Will the donor become a monk to the Buddha wholeheartedly?" ”

Lou Yuzhu was categorical: "No." ”

"Then why did the old monk bother to persuade the benefactor in vain?"

Lou Yuzhu, who was choked by his own words and had nothing to say, was angry, stretched out three fingers and said: "If you want me to devote myself to the Buddha, it is okay, and the old monk can answer my three questions." Seeing the old monk raise his eyes, the corners of his mouth hooked up and smiled: "Who am I?" Where am I from? Where are they going? As long as the old monk can answer, I will consider becoming a monk. ”

The old monk didn't know who the donor was, where the donor came from, and where the donor was going. The old monk only knew that the donor was kind, and at this time there was a trace of melancholy, and there was also the sorrow of ordinary people. ”

"The old monk's words are somewhat interesting, what does it mean that I also have ordinary people's sorrows? Am I not an ordinary person? After finishing speaking, Lou Yuzhu's heart jumped, and she looked at the old monk with a numb scalp, quite a little drumming. It happened that the yellow shadow came out to look for someone, and Lou Yuzhu hurriedly got up and followed.

It's just that within a few quarters of an hour, the monks in the temple looked in reverence, and the legend was that Master Huineng, who had traveled here, lectured on the scriptures, Lou Yuzhu's heart moved, and he stayed in the main hall to see if it was true. Isn't the monk wearing a precious red robe with kind eyebrows and kind eyes the old monk who swept the fallen leaves in a cloth robe? Thinking of all kinds of legends about the first person in the Buddhist family, Lou Yuzhu listened to the scriptures according to Fu Linshu restlessly, but he didn't remember half a word after a lecture for most of the hour.

After Master Huineng blessed the believers, Xu Se and Fu Linshu pulled Zhang Ling and Lou Yuzhu up. It's just that there are a lot of people, and they sit back again, and when it is their turn, they are already the last ones.

Lou Yuzhu's scalp was numb, and he couldn't tell what Hui Neng meant, but unfortunately Fu Linshu and Xu Se didn't understand his mind at all, so they urged him forward and patted him on the head to appease him and let him not be nervous. Lou Yuzhu wanted to cry without tears, and was forcefully pushed in front of Huineng, and then her hand was held by the other party.

Lou Yuzhu shook his body, he was afraid that the other party would hold him and shout at the demons, and it would not be a problem for the other party to torture him to death in minutes for his status in the hearts of the world!

It's just that Huineng didn't raise his voice to shout demons or anything, he held Lou Yuzhu's hand with a smile as usual and wrote the word 'good' in his palm, and then pulled the Buddhist beads he used to chant the scriptures around his wrist a few times, and said: "I hope you have mercy on all sentient beings and spread blessings." ”

Not to mention how surprised others were that Hui Neng gave away the Buddha beads with him, Lou Yuzhu was completely blind. was dragged out of the hall by Fu Linshu, and he was still blind, and he got on the horse and rode far away before returning to his senses. After that, the spirit was shocked, and he dropped a sentence and left something to do, ignoring the shouting of Chengyi in the back building, and threw the horsewhip to Xixia Temple.

As soon as he arrived at Xixia Temple, he turned over and dismounted, and he didn't even care about the horse, grabbed a little monk and asked, "Where is Master Huineng?!" ”

The little monk hesitated and touched his head, Lou Yuzhu was anxious and gave up, and ran directly inside to find the big monk who spoke. The great monk knew about it, and made a Buddhist salute and said: "As soon as the lecture is finished, Master Huineng has already left, saying that he will continue to travel and practice." ”

Nervousness, panic, and fear were all poured with a bucket of ice water at this time, and my heart was immediately cold. "Did you say where to go? Is there any way to reach him? ”

"Master Huineng has always loved to travel all over the world, and he has used all kinds of things as his cultivation method on the way to travel, and he is used to going wherever he goes."

The implication is that the purpose is unclear and the return date is uncertain? Lou Yuzhu was depressed and vomited blood, and said in her heart that these god stick attributes really love to pretend! After thanking Xixia Temple, Lou Yuzhu turned over and got on the horse in despair, looked back at Xixia Temple and remembered the eight words of Huineng's "mercy on all sentient beings and spreading blessings", and a trace of strangeness flashed between his eyebrows.

With this strange Lou Yuzhu and Lou Chengyi, he found a reason to fool around, returned to Yanjia Village and thought about it for a night, found upstairs Chengyi, and said first: "Dad, our family now has nearly 200 acres of fertile land, only planting one season of rice, and the rest of the time is wasteful, it's a pity, why don't you pack up and plant two crops of rice?" ”

Lou Chengyi shook his head: "You can't plant it in two seasons, and if the good seed doesn't sprout, even if it is planted, it will freeze to death." ”

Of course, if you throw the seeds that have not sprouted well, you will freeze to death, Lou Yuzhu vomited in her heart, but said in her mouth: "Then why don't you try to use out-of-season vegetables?" Raise the buds and then sprinkle them in the field, pay attention to keep the temperature so that they will not be frozen? ”

Lou Chengyi's eyes widened, and he had the feeling of waking up a person in a dream, thinking of the growth of vegetables that raised sprouts to maintain temperature, and he was immediately excited and incoherent. "Is it really possible? What if it doesn't work out? ”

"Then let's do the test first, if it becomes natural, it is good, and if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter." Seeing Lou Chengyi's hesitation, he said with a smile: "Our family is not short of the harvest of those few acres of land, but if it is done, it will be a great merit for the country and the people." ”

Under Lou Yuzhu's persuasion, how could Chengyi disagree, and immediately began to experiment with two crops of rice wholeheartedly.

Not to mention the results and speed of the test, it was soon approaching the end of the year, and Yuzhu and Zhou Cheng were busy with the chain inn in Haikou in Linnan Bay, and it was the New Year after they were busy. As usual, Mu Lao and Pei Guanying were invited to Sanfang to spend a lively New Year, and the smell of the Lantern Festival faded away, and then it was the opening of chain inns and tea shops.

The invitation is written to invite a family, Lou Yuzhu thought about it and still didn't let Lou Chengyi and his wife go, as for Lou Hua and Lou Ming are busy with their studies and preparing for the October scientific examination, they can't get away, Pei Guanying is also among the invitees, but unfortunately he was detained by Mu Lao to concentrate on studying, after all, he is also a member of this year's scientific examination, as for Mu Lao, Li Yue wants to invite it, but unfortunately Mu Lao is too cold, and the other party is embarrassed to invite. In the end, Zhou Cheng was free and went with Lou Yuzhu.

The weather was excellent on this day, the temperature was pleasant, Lou Yuzhu and Zhou Cheng came to the Li Mansion where there were endless guests, the time problem Li Yue had not returned to greet his relatives, Li Shang's brother naturally went with him, the two glanced around and saw that there was no acquaintance, so they handed the invitation to the steward, and then they were invited to the banquet set up in the side courtyard.

The so-called side courtyard banquet is not valued by the guests who take the initiative to find the door, and the groom can not come here to toast. Lou Yuzhu and Zhou Cheng looked at each other, and their faces sank. The two of them were not conceited enough to be invited into the main hall to be treated, but in terms of friendship, they should not be invited to the side courtyard, at least the tailgate of the main hall was still fished, but the two of them didn't even get a tailblock, and after that, no one paid attention to it and completely ignored it from beginning to end!

Xiao is calm as Lou Yuzhu couldn't help but feel angry, a table of good wine and good food was stunned and only moved two chopsticks, and then left the table without waiting for the dishes to be served. When the two of them left the Li Mansion, Lou Yuzhu lifted the carriage curtain and looked back at the imposing mansion behind her, and then put down the curtain indifferently. He wanted to have a sincere relationship, but unfortunately the other party couldn't look down on him, and there was no need for deep friendship in the future.

Li Yue, who had been busy for several days, sent most of the guests away, hid in his study and hid for a while, picked up the gift book and flipped through it, and saw that his eyes changed halfway and beckoned to the manager: "Didn't I arrange Zhou Cheng and Lou Yuzhu in advance to be in the tailgate of the main courtyard?" What about people? ”

The heartbeat steward who was frightened by the expression on Li Yue's face wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said in amazement: "It was taken away by the imperial husband, and the little one also said that this was the seat arranged by the prince himself, but the gentleman's husband said that he would tell you, so"

"So you're good at arranging my seat?!" Li Yue threw down the etiquette, and the steward's frightened legs fell to the ground. Li Yue's face sank, the royal monarch husband is his own father, he is the husband of the entire backyard of the Li Mansion, and he is also a serious five-grade edict monarch husband, it is reasonable to move the position of the two guests, but the problem lies in the special nature of these two people. Although Zhou Cheng was born in Pei Guanying's small house, the two have a deep relationship, which is obvious to all, Pei Guanying has something to do, Zhou Cheng is one of the representatives, that is to say, treating Zhou Cheng lightly is to slap Pei Guanying in the face; Although Lou Yuzhu was born in a Zhuang family, how many connections did the mahjong rest house give his Li family, and he couldn't wait for it to be idle. But now these two special guests have been offended by his own father! "You will be fined three months' silver and demoted to the rank of second-class steward. Let's go down. ”

After dealing with the stewardship, Li Yue went to his father Li Zhifu.

After listening to Li Yue's relay, Li Zhifu immediately sank his face: "This is not enough to succeed and more than to lose!" ”

Anyone who is scolded in front of his father will feel uncomfortable, but Li Yue has to say that his father has indeed done this. "My son will go tomorrow, no matter what, I can't leave it alone."

Li Zhifu groaned, thought about it, and said: "You are newly married, don't worry about it, I'll let Lao Lin go." Li Yue is his heir, and it may not be a loss of face for him to apologize for everything.

Li Yue thought about it for a while, but still agreed. It's just that they don't know that it was this negligence that made their Li family miss out on the Lou family in the future, so that they couldn't regret it.
