The eastern area of Yangcheng is a temple facing south from the north, with a heavy Buddhist family and dignified majesty.

Ah Umbrella stood in front of a red and yellow atmosphere temple, did not move for a long time, she knew what it was like inside without going in, I don't know how many temples she had been to in her last life, and she paid for incense and took pictures.

Ah Umbrella doesn't like Buddhism, obviously thinks that everything in the world is a boundless sea of suffering, and advocates that people in the world cultivate and endure hardships, endure hardships, and give up**. However, its Buddhist architecture is large in scale and majestic. Yangcheng is also like this, except for the temple, it is all poor and poor.

The ascetics are poor, and the rich endure the endless 'mental suffering' in the main hall.

In times of calamity, the world is advised not to do anything but to endure in silence, as it should be atonement. Then he spent a lot of money to build all kinds of magnificent temples and Buddha statues.

What atonement, what endurance!

It's all fart!

Ah Umbrella doesn't understand, why is it that Chinese Taoism has not spread widely as Buddhism for thousands of years, "obedient to adults, reverse to immortals", what is wrong with pursuing the present world? Is it true that after suffering in this life or in the next life, you can really become a Buddha?

Like most Chinese people, Ah Umbrella has no faith, no Buddha or god in his heart, no one to trust, only on his own.

You are your own beliefs.

When people live for a lifetime, they must taste the joy of life and enjoy the beauty of the world. Otherwise, what's the use of cultivating this immortal? Isn't cultivating immortals just to get rid of the suffering of birth, old age, sickness and death in the world, and enjoy the wanton pleasure of eternal life?

The upper and lower hearts in the body beat in unison.

A big honest face suddenly appeared in front of Ah Umbrella, and he subconsciously took a step back: "Zhao Erleng, what are you doing?" ”

Zhao Erleng scratched his head in embarrassment. Han smiled: "Little Brother Rong, you have been standing here for six days, and if you don't wake up, you will be thrown out tomorrow" No one will play with him to turn over the flower rope.

"Six?" Ah Umbrella was startled, looked around, and the people who came and went looked at her a little strangely.

"Little Brother Rong was also touched by the Buddha's light, alas, the master always said that I am Leng, it seems to be true, I have never been inspired" Zhao Erleng pointed to the inside of the temple again, and said: "The people inside stand and sit for several months." ”

Ah Umbrella looked up at the temple and thought for a moment. Still decided not to go in. In addition, the sect task has not been completed, so he said to Zhao Erleng: "I want to cultivate in Yangcheng for half a year, where should I go to handle it?" ”

Zhao Erleng only heard that Ah Umbrella was going to stay in Yangcheng, and he was suddenly happy. "Let's go." I'll take you to Zhaotang to find Senior Brother. Then he pulled up the sleeve of Ah Umbrella. Drag her into the temple.

"Don't step on the threshold."

Ah Umbrella looked at his sleeves that were pulled up, smiled helplessly, pulled back his sleeves and bent down to pick up the white cat. Follow behind Erleng. Eventually, she entered the temple.

Zhaotang is the place where Buddhism deals with affairs, and symbolically handed over a piece of lower grade spirit stone, and Ah Umbrella got a monk's robe.

After registering for Qing Xiu, Ah Umbrella will start daily practice listening to Zen and meditation practice tomorrow, first bid farewell to Zhao Erleng, Ah Umbrella recorded a small place in the eastern area, and returned to the south corner of the wall in the evening to ask Zhao Erleng.

“… This independent high-rise building is the scripture building of Yangcheng... This is the Mingde Hall presided over by Master Chengde... You haven't been to the Tibetan Floor yet? There are all disciples of the Tibetan Building... Of course, there are little secrets... My master is out, you can live in a shanty with me... Why not? I can't snore..."

In this way, the two chatted while turning over the flower rope.

"How do you know how to play with the rope?"

“…… I learned it with my wife. ”

"Oh, even though she ran away with someone, there's still a flower rope. The flower rope is my Erleng's wife, who can't run and play casually. ”

“……”

Time flies.

The next day, Zhao Erleng came out of his small shanty, saw Ah Umbrella wearing a monk's robe, and grinned: "Little Brother Rong looks so thin, it turns out that he is quite strong." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward to pinch the exposed arm of Ah Umbrella, and the monk's robe was half-shouldered.

Ah Umbrella avoided it without a trace, and she was still a little unaccustomed to being pinched by a big man's arm, and said, "Don't leave quickly, otherwise you will be late." ”

Zhao Erleng hurriedly picked up the two wooden barrels and walked, his eyes swept over Ah Umbrella's arm, and sighed, how could his own arm be so unbeautiful.

Ah Umbrella also looked at the appearance of his illusion, very good, very in line with the aesthetics of dressing thin and undressing. However, I remembered that I was holding a silver hammer and knocking on my arm...

Ah Umbrella shook his head and followed behind Zhao Erleng.

After the two finished drawing water, they walked along the avenue to the west area, and along the way, Zhao Erleng said while recording a umbrella. When the people on the road saw Ah Umbrella, their eyes became very strange again.

I heard a burst of shouting and cheering from a distance, and when I got closer, a strong 'manly smell' hit, Ah Umbrella couldn't help frowning, she didn't like sweating the most.

The western area is a large area of asceticism, and half of it is surrounded by countless monks sitting in the sand bare-chested in the sun, like countless glowing light bulbs. The positive yang qi of Yangcheng is already strong, and the western area is like a huge steamer at this time, and Ah Umbrella is faintly uncomfortable.

The other half was like a gladiatorial arena, with shirtless monks fighting hand-to-hand or masochism, covered in scars.

"This Yangcheng really didn't come from a woman." Jiufang touched his beard and said, "Umbrella girl, your expression should be disgusted." "And the white cat has already run away, and I don't know where it went.

Ah Umbrella refused Zhao Erleng's invitation to go to the hand-to-hand combat arena, and entered the group of monks who were sitting cross-legged and receiving the scorching sun.

Ah Umbrella barely lasted until the rest time, there was the scorching sun, there was the sound of shouting and cheering, and it was not easy to meditate and cultivate.

I found a shady place to sit down, and admired the monks who were still meditating on the sand, some of whom had been meditating for several years and months. Although Ah Umbrella doesn't like Buddhism, it doesn't prevent her from admiring these people's tortoise-like toughness.

This reminded her of a person, the little monk who traveled from the Western Regions to Tianzhu, in that era, going back and forth for more than ten years, trekking thousands of miles, and the hardships were indescribable. Ah Umbrella hoped that there would really be three apprentices with him.

The journey to immortality is long, and she also has to learn the tenacity of the little monk.

"Brother, drink saliva, don't think too much, there are many good women in the world." A man with a hair cultivation took the water and put it beside Ah Umbrella, looked at her sympathetically, and then walked away.

Ah Umbrella raised her eyebrows, and she was stunned for a while, why were there two more pots of water and a few fruits in front of her.

With a pat on the head, she finally reacted, no wonder she always felt that the eyes of those monks looked at her so strangely, making her 'like a spring breeze'.

But isn't it, what is it like to return to the earth in spring?

Green!

When she was crying and laughing, Zhao Erleng came, the strong smell of sweat came into her nose, Ah Umbrella's face changed greatly, and before she could speak, she saw Zhao Erleng looking at her worriedly: "What's wrong, your face is so ugly, do you think of that woman again?" My master said, don't think about it if you go, otherwise your brain will hurt. ”

Ah Umbrella was dumbfounded, and quietly moved away from Zhao Erleng, before he said, "You all know ......?" "Monks also love gossip?

Zhao Erleng nodded and said, "Senior Brother Ma ...... that day."

Here's the thing, that day, the little boy surnamed Ma who was guarding the door and his good brother said that there was a monk who devoted himself to the Buddha, and he was in love, and he rushed to Yangcheng from the East China Sea to ask the Buddha to solve his doubts.

When the good brother heard this, he rushed over from the East China Sea, but it was really far away, and he had not seen the sea yet. Thinking that that person was really pitiful, he told his other good brother about it, and asked him to help this poor man, who was practicing under Master Chengde, so he naturally agreed to help, and he must leave a place in the front row.

I didn't know that Master Chengde didn't see the poor man come that day, and when I inquired around, I knew that the poor man was inspired by the Buddha's light and was in the epiphany.

In this way, everyone knows such a man who was abandoned by Taoist couples but devoted himself to Buddha.

Everyone was a man, and seeing that man was so thin, it was no wonder that some nuns wanted to abandon him.

blames the pitiful, and no longer rejects her, but sympathizes with this man who has been greened. (To be continued......)
