"A few years ago, I visited friends from Yixing to Wanling, passing through Jingting Mountain, because I have heard the good name of this mountain for a long time, so I climbed the mountain to find the secluded and explore the victory. Halfway up the mountain, he met a monk dressed in red, who was bitten by a poisonous snake and was in danger. Our Xu clan immediately went to war, and the most in the house was all kinds of wound medicine, and it was also fate, that time I happened to bring snake medicine with me, and pulled the monk out of poison and applied it externally, and pulled him back from the ghost gate. ”

Xu You is well versed in several elements of storytelling, and sets up a crisis at the beginning, arousing everyone's curiosity, and then urgently applying medicine to save people's lives, laying suspense, and attracting them to continue listening. But what does all this have to do with what Fang just said about "it is time to eat"? With this expectation, everyone can't stop and can't wait to know the follow-up development.

This is called layer by layer, there is a ring within the ring, resting in the future generations, the structure of the novel has been analyzed to the point of subtlety, Xu You's careful thinking is not worth mentioning, but at the moment, it can make people involuntarily fascinated.

I heard that when the Buddha preached, his tongue was full of lotus flowers, and he could hear the stubborn nod, Xu You did not have such boundless mana, so he had to use some small skills, and the avenues were the same, which was nothing more than brainwashing people, the Buddha had the Buddha's method, and mortals also had mortals' methods.

"I asked the monk the Dharma number, and he claimed to have found it, and he traveled here alone, but he almost died in the mouth of a little snake. I saw that this monk spoke interestingly, and he didn't like to say some obscure truths covered by clouds and mountains, so he had nothing to do, and chatted with him. During the period, when we talked about cultivation, I asked Shide, have you been cultivating for decades, are you still working hard? Pick it up and say, work hard! I'll ask him again how hard he ......."

Xu You picked up the teacup and moistened his throat, and the strong monk behind Zhu Fayan who had never spoken hurriedly asked, "How do you work hard?" ”

This person is eight feet three inches tall, his arms are thick, and his fists are clenched like iron bowls, compared to the Deng Tao under Yuan Qingqi. When he spoke, the sound was like a bell, reverberating back and forth in the hall, deafening. Even if Xu You loses all his martial arts, he can see that this monk is practicing kung fu horizontally, invulnerable, and has practiced to the point of reaching the peak.

He put down the tea bowl slowly and methodically, and said: "I have to say, eat when you are hungry, and sleep when you are sleepy, this is his hard work!" ”

Monk Zhuang laughed and said, "Where did I come from, it turned out to be a bluff!" Hunger comes to eat, sleepiness comes to sleep, isn't this the case with everyone in the world? This is called hard work, then everyone in the world can become a Buddha! ”

Xu You slapped his hands fiercely, and he had the meaning of hating the monk when he saw each other, and said: "I asked him the same way, guess what you say?" ”

Monk Zhuang was stunned for a moment, thinking that the hero saw the same thing, and then looked at Xu You very pleasing to the eye, and said, "I can't guess, what he said...... But a fool who talks nonsense, it doesn't matter if you don't listen to it! ”

"I thought the same way, but after listening to the words I found, I realized that I had no beads in my eyes, and I almost missed the true Buddha!"

"Huh? It's so powerful, I'll listen to it! ”

The Zhuang monk has a simple heart, and he was seduced by Xu You to sing and harmonize, which is very funny. There are teases, the cross talk platform is set up, a group of people are waiting, their appetite is hanging high, Xu You said with a smile: "I am different from the world!" ”

"How is it different?"

This time it was Zhu Fayan who asked the question, Monk Zhuang opened his mouth, his lines were snatched away by Shizun, he was suddenly a little aggrieved, and he didn't dare to protest, and cast an apologetic look at Xu You, as if to say I can't play with you, and then retreated silently.

Xu You didn't dare to hold it up, bowed down, and said: "I have to say, the world should ask for everything when eating, and care about everything when sleeping, their hard work is too much, and my hard work is just a full meal and a night's sleep, so it's different!" ”

"A full meal, a night's sleep...... A full meal, a night's sleep...... Yes! ”

Zhu Fayan's eyes widened, the rosary in his hand was broken, and he stood up, without the decay of the old dragon bell, and said: "Where is the monk practicing in the temple?" I should go at once, and meet the great master! ”

Being able to be called a great virtue by Zhu Fayan, it can be seen how much the Buddha revealed in these words touched him, Xu You shook his head and said: "I asked him, but he only said that he was a monk in Yunshui, and the four seas were his home, and there was no temple in Andan. ”

The monks of the traveling side go to the temple to borrow the hanging order, all live in the Yunshui Hall, so they are also called the Yunshui monks, and wait until they live for a long time, through the investigation of the layers, they can be used as the pure people of the temple, and they will live and practice since then, which is the so-called Andan.

"It's a pity, it's a pity!"

Zhu Fayan did not hide the look of chagrin on his face, the old monk named Zhu Wujue had served for twelve years before the throne, and he had never seen him so out of shape, so he approached and said in a low voice: "Master, wear red clothes, this should be a monk from the north......"

Zhu Fayan frowned slightly, sat back slowly, returned to his original withered appearance, and said, "I actually forgot, it turned out to be a monk from the Northern Sect!" ”

According to the Buddhist system, the monks have three clothes, five clothes sewn from five strips of cloth, seven clothes sewn from seven strips of cloth, and ancestral clothes sewn from nine strips of cloth, which are collectively called robes. And there are strict restrictions on the color, one is not to use blue, yellow, red, white, black five positive colors and solid colors, and the other is to point a different color on the new clothes, also known as bad colors and dots. However, what culture will be changed and assimilated to China, Buddhism is no exception, in the Han Dynasty monks often wear one of the five positive colors of the red monk's robe, that is, "wear red clothes", later there are also many black, white, yellow and other positive color monk's clothes, not surprising!

The Buddhist gate of the Chu State is only black and white, and the rank is above the six governors of the eastern order and the six heads of the western order, and the six heads above the western order are dressed in black, and the lower ones are dressed in white. The custom of wearing red clothes is unique to Buddhism in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Northern Sect is known as orthodox and inherits the Han and Wei dynasties, so the monks under the door are all red. In fact, to put it bluntly, this is just the assimilated Han and Wei customs, which are very different from the so-called orthodoxy of the origin of Buddhism.

Monk Zhuang leaned over and picked up the scattered prayer beads, but in his heart he was thinking about the words that Xu You relayed, a full meal, a night's sleep, it sounds ordinary, why is the master shocked? Could it be that there is something in these six words?

He was so distracted that he hit the buttocks of a person next to him, and the man covered his ass and screamed exaggeratedly, saying, "Good novice, the old hemorrhoids have been broken for you!" ”

Everyone laughed, and Monk Zhuang's face was flushed, and he didn't forget to explain, "I have reached the age of twenty, I have received bhikshu ordination, and I am no longer a novice!" ”

Looking at his stupid appearance, someone couldn't help but shout: "Xiuyong, you have always been good at mocking, but today you are playing tricks on the little novice!" ”

Monk Zhuang hurriedly said, "Bhikkhus, bhikshus, not novices!" ”

The novice initiates the bhikshu between the ages of seven and twenty, and then is conferred 250 bhikshu ordination by ten great monks, that is, he becomes a bhikshu. After five years of conferring a bhikshu, he can leave his master and cultivate the Tao alone.

There was another burst of laughter, many people staggered, and tears of laughter came out. Zhu Wujue was very angry, feeling that he had lost the face of Buddhism, so he pulled Monk Zhuang back to Zhu Fayan's side and said, "Wuchen, don't speak!" ”

The Zhuang monk called Zhu Wuchen, blinked his eyes pitifully, and said, "Why? ”

"There is no why! If you don't obey again, you will fast for three days after returning to the temple! ”

"Okay, okay, I'm obedient, don't ban my food!"

The hall was full of shameful laughter, the dispute between the two disciples, Zhu Fayan didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't take it to heart, he turned his head to look at Zhang Zihua, but his dim eyes were like two night lights that would not be extinguished, and said: "What Xu Langjun said is that hunger comes to eat, this is the real way." Although it is a big matter to talk about balance, but it can't fill the belly, how can there be anything to fight for, what to talk about? ”

"Congratulations, your cultivation has improved again!"

Zhang Zihua is an expert, just looking at Zhu Fayan's demeanor, he knows that his Dharma cultivation has jumped to a higher level again, and said enviously: "No wonder Sect Master Zhu often says that the understanding of the Theravada is the head of the Great Chu Shamen, just listening to a small story relayed by others, you can enlighten the true meaning of Buddhism, and I admire it very much!" ”

Zhu Fayan smiled and said: "If Xu Langjun doesn't remember it clearly, speak clearly, and vividly, it will be the same as what he has heard with his own ears, and the old monk is a great supernatural power, and it is impossible to enlighten the truth from it." ”

Zhang Zihua glanced at Xu You, and then showed a cunning naughty look, and said, "In this way, doesn't the seat owe Xu You a favor to this kid?" ”

The hall fell silent for a moment, and everyone's hearts were thinking about the same question: how much benefit does Zhu Fayan's favor represent? If you want to figure it out, it is estimated that it will not work for ten days and a half months.

Zhu Daorong's big disciple, the seat of Dade Temple, the leader of Yangzhou Buddhism, rich and powerful, his favor, not to say priceless, is at least valuable, but few people have the opportunity to let him owe himself a favor.

A lot of envy, jealousy and hatred are swimming on Xu You, but Xu You is not lost because of this, this favor is hotter than a hot potato! Just kidding, if it has something to do with Buddhism, what should I do with the Heavenly Master's Dao? The two tigers compete, the wisest choice is to hide in the dark to make the wind and rain, remain neutral on the surface, the two do not mix, he is an ant-sized character, don't jump out, no one cares, if it's a jumping Huan, any party can easily pinch him to death!

Without waiting for Zhu Fayan to speak, Xu You said without humility or arrogance: "The reason why I picked up the monk and enlightened me is because I have a relationship with the Buddha." I have the privilege of enlightening Theravada today because Theravada is associated with the Buddha. In the final analysis, it is still a Buddha word, the Buddha purifies all sentient beings, and his heart is unhindered, so how can he ever ask sentient beings to return the favor of the Buddha? ”

Zhu Fayan clasped his hands together, recited the Buddha's name, and said: "Amitabha, Xu Langjun has great wisdom!" ”

What is the rhythm of this?

Could it be that the next sentence is to save me for refuge?

Xu You hurriedly said: "I'm stupid, I don't know what Huigen is?" It's a big deal! ”

"In the view of the law, the eye is wisdom, wisdom can give birth to the Tao, and the name of the Tao is the root. The so-called Huigen is your fate with the Buddha, Xu Langjun might as well shave off the troubles and take refuge in Shamen? ”

It's bad, it's bad, I'm the roundworm in the stomach of the old bald donkey, how can I guess it accurately?

Xu You coughed dryly twice, and said: "I haven't thought about it, the six roots are not pure, and I still want to marry a few more wives and concubines, spread the branches and leaves, and pass on the ancestry, if I enter the Buddhism, it is inevitable to do the disaster that will shame the Buddha, or not go!" ”

Zhu Fayan did not force it, and said: "The dust is not over, and there will be a time in the end; The six roots are not pure, but there will be a pure day. Langjun Buddha is deep, don't worry, I'm waiting for it! ”

Xu You couldn't help but want to scold, and he was talking nonsense, it turned out that he wanted to fool him into being a monk. Reborn once, if you really become a monk, then you will be kicked in the head by a donkey, stupid can!

Zhang Zihua looked funny and said with a smile: "Xu You's young heart, how can he be willing to become a monk with you, I am too eager to get on the seat!" Okay, it's still the same sentence, when you are hungry to eat, you will sacrifice wine, what do you think? ”

Du Mingyu didn't know why, he didn't talk much, and rarely participated in the topic, unless someone asked, he reluctantly answered, and said: "It's true that you come to eat when you're hungry!" Don't hide it from Dazhongzheng, in my belly, I have been wailing for a long time! ”

The word mourning and wailing is from "The Book of Songs". Zhang Zihua took Zhu Fayan and Du Mingyu's hands left and right, and the hearty laughter spread all over the rainy building, and said: "The wild geese are flying, wailing and wailing." This philosopher is called my hard work. I became a philosopher to soothe the wails of the two of you! ”

The banquet was held in this hall, and everyone followed Zhang Zihua to the corridor outside the third floor to enjoy the scenery, and dozens of servants packed up their things with ease, carried the table for eating, and placed them in turn, and then in just a quarter of an hour, all kinds of hot delicacies were served.

When everyone re-seated, Zhu Fayan greeted: "Xu Langjun, you come to eat next to me, the old monk still has doubts, I want you to answer!" ”

Xu You understood that he was entangled by a monk today, and his shoulder lightly touched Gu Yun, and Gu Yun hurriedly said: "Sitting, I am friends with Weizhi, I haven't seen each other for many days, and I really have a lot to say." It's better to wait for the Ya to disperse, and then let him listen to the teachings of the Theravada! ”

With Gu Yun's personality, he will not refute the face of the Venerable when he is idle, but Zhu Fayan wants to make Xu You a monk, which not only scares Xu You, but also scares him, so he comes out to keep people, and he doesn't care if Zhu Fayan is happy or not.

"I don't dare to teach it, there must be my teacher in the threesome, Xu Langjun is my six-character teacher, and it is almost the same as the old monk listening to his teachings!"

The cold sweat on Xu You's back was about to come down, and Zhu Fayan continued to brag about it, I was afraid that if he couldn't get out of this rain, the building would be swallowed alive by Lu Xusheng. If nothing else, Lu Xu is the absolute center of Yaji, up to Zhang Zihua, Zhu Fayan, Du Mingyu, Gu Yun Lu Hui and other officials, down to the first floor of those ordinary scholars and children of the Han family, everyone has to revolve around him, but after Zhu Fayan such a beat, Xu You has become the focus of everyone's attention, or the only focus!

Yaji is famous one by one, it is conceivable that Xu You's reputation will spread with the importance of Zhu Fayan, Lu Xu has completely become a foil and background wall, with his high and arrogant, how can he be willing?

If you are not reconciled, you have to fight back, Lu Xu's counterattack is very simple, talking about the mysteries, they are all side dishes with wine, the real feast, it is a literary talent, a poetic talent, a full stomach of economy, and a Huazhang for export!

Xu You is good at arguing with his tongue, but he should let him see what is the true strength of the first talent of Sanwu!

"Dazhongzheng, it's too boring to sit and drink, why don't I revisit the old discussion and pick out ten people from the scholars to discuss poetry with Xu Langjun. Of course, for the sake of fairness, I also accept the challenge of these ten people at the same time. ”

The purpose of Zhang Zihua's visit to Yaji was to select talents after all, so he immediately made a decision and said: "Okay, drink with poems, hearty, and let you invite!" ”
