Chapter Twenty-Three: Confrontation

Li Ze walked lightly into his mother's small Buddha hall, sat cross-legged on a futon behind Mrs. Wang, stared at Gongsun Changming opposite, holding a few rat whiskers and making a look of a virtuous person, talking eloquently.

The heart is unattainable in the past, the heart is unattainable now, and the heart is unattainable in the future.

There is no Dharma called Bodhisattva, which is why the Buddha said that all Dharma has no self, no one, no sentient beings, and no longevity.

If you come, you have nothing to come from and nowhere to go, hence the name.

If the world exists, it is a conjunction. For example, if we say that a conjunction, that is, a non-conjunction, it is called a conjunction.

Li Ze could understand every word that came out of the mouth on the other side, but when they were put together, he was ignorant, but Mrs. Wang in front of him had a treasured and solemn face, and occasionally made a voice of praise and inquiry, obviously deeply immersed in it and unable to extricate himself.

Li Ze really wanted to get a piece of dog skin plaster and stick it on the mouth opposite.

But in front of his mother, he didn't dare to make a mistake.

Li Ze believes that my fate is up to me, it is up to me to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, and what I hate the most is to go with the flow, everyone is the same, and honestly I don't want to change my attitude towards life, so he never likes Buddhism. In his view, Buddhism is to teach people to learn to accept their fate, and he, whether in the previous life or in this life, is by no means a person who accepts fate. There is no wind and there are still three feet of waves, not to mention that in this life, it looks like the wind and clouds are surging, in case this wind and clouds hit his head, will he also obediently shrink his neck, watch the wind and waves coming, and then blow him away like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves?

Of course not!

Of course, there is a fight.

Li Ze believes that the current Gongsun Changming must be anxious, but the light breeze on the surface is also admirable, at least he will definitely not be able to do it now, but he looks like he doesn't care about something, it seems that his city still needs more practice.

Gongsun Changming's cheekiness is definitely not something that can be cultivated overnight. Thinking of what Liang Han said about Gongsun Changming, the corners of Li Ze's mouth couldn't help but show some smiles, and when he looked at the other party's eyes, he couldn't help but show a look of sarcasm.

Or maybe it was because Li Ze's expression finally made Gongsun Changming no longer feel at ease, he coughed lightly, "Madam, that's all for today, right?" ”

"Is that all for today?" Mrs. Wang was a little dazed at first, and then suddenly she said, "Xiyin is wonderful, you really can't think of listening to it all at once, thank you Mr. Gongsun." ”

"Mrs. Buddhism's spirit, discussing Buddhism with Mrs., Changming is also quite rewarding." Gongsun Changming owes his body.

"Mr. Gongsun praised it falsely." Mrs. Wang showed a rare smile on her face, turned her head to look at Li Zedao, "Ze'er, I heard Mr. Gongsun say that you haven't been in class properly in the past few months?" ”

Li Ze was angry for a while, isn't it that he doesn't want to go to class? In fact, he also wanted to hear Gongsun Changming, who his father valued very much, analyze the general trend of the world for himself, but this old boy was fooling himself and treating himself as a little doll.

But in front of the mother, after all, she still has to pretend to be a baby, and she is silent at the moment.

"Those who taught you in the past are all unpopular, and I don't bother to care about you, but Mr. Gongsun is famous all over the world, and he is a good teacher who can't ask for it, you must not be so slack, Mr. Gongsun told me today, I really see that you are smart, I can't bear you to abandon your studies at a young age, and play all day long, so I am going to live in Zhuangzi for a few months, first, to lead you on the road, and second, to study more Buddhist scriptures with me." Mrs. Wang said.

Seeing the rare look of love on Mrs. Wang's face, Li Ze couldn't bear to break his mother's thoughts, over the years, his mother had spent most of her time with the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha as her companion, since this Gongsun Changming could make his mother happy, even if he wanted to leave, he had to leave him behind, even if it was to break the other party's dog's legs!

Of course, that's just a thought.

"Yes, Mother!" He nodded and said, "My son is also trying to ask Mr. Gongsun for advice." ”

Mrs. Wang looked at Li Ze for a long time before she said: "I know, you are a sensible person, and you don't usually worry me much, but Mr. Gongsun is indeed a good teacher who is hard to find, you can't miss it." ”

"Yes, mother, after I go down, I will ask Mr. Gongsun for advice."

Gongsun Changming, who was on the side, saw that the fire had arrived, and stood up with a smile: "Madam, I'm disturbing today, the little boy has just returned home, and I want to come and talk to Mrs. There are still many things to say, so I will leave." ”

"Ze'er, send Mr. Gongsun for me." Mrs. Wang said.

Seeing off Gongsun Changming, Li Ze turned around and still walked to the previous futon and sat down cross-legged.

"What's going on in Liujia Village?"

"Yes, a little thing."

"It takes three or four days for a small thing? You're going to the county again, right? Mrs. Wang twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand one by one, as if she wanted to say something, but she finally held back, "It's not impossible to go and see it, just don't stay too much, and don't go to some bad places." ”

"My son remembers." Li Ze's heart moved, and he suddenly felt that it was also excellent to let Gongsun Changming enlighten his mother like this, at least today's mother showed rare warmth. It is understandable that you hate your father, but I was born in October when you were conceived, Li Ze didn't believe that Mrs. Wang didn't have a love for herself.

The two were relatively silent, and for a while, they both felt that they had nothing to say. It took a long time for Li Ze to take out the sachet that Yan Jiu gave him from his arms, "Mother, this is the sachet that my son found for you, but there is nothing else special about it, just wear it on your body, and ordinary insects and the like will retreat." There are a lot of mosquitoes at this time, so mothers may wish to give it a try. ”

Taking the sachet from Li Ze's hand, Mrs. Wang's eyes were slightly red, she nodded, and tied it on her belt casually. "You go, you don't have to eat with me tonight, let the kitchen make a few good dishes, accompany Mr. Gongsun, this is a learned person, follow him to learn, even if there is no place to use it, but it is good to make your mind clearer."

"Yes, mother, my son will definitely entertain Mr. Gongsun well, and he will definitely make him feel at home." Li Ze stood up with a smile, gave a salute, turned around and walked out of the Buddhist hall.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, the sound of a wooden fish came from behind him, which made him pause. turned around and saw that Xia Zhu was closing the door, and in the crack of the door that had not yet closed, his mother's thin, thin back was revealed, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour.

This is an unfortunate woman, who is afraid that this life will be ruined in the hands of her father. He sighed, he really didn't have any position to say anything about this account.

Thinking all the way to the Ming Book Garden, turning the corridor, I saw that in the pavilion in front of me, a person with big sleeves fluttering, twisting his beard and standing, seemed to be enjoying the beautiful scenery of the lotus pond, and the goose fish were swimming. Isn't that Gongsun Changming, who else?

"Mr. Gongsun can't wait to teach me this good and beautiful talent?" Li Ze walked over with a smile and stood beside him, but his tone became cold again: "If you take advantage of my absence at home and approach my mother, aren't you afraid that my old man will cut you with a knife?" ”

Gongsun Changming turned around with a smile, "Discussing Buddhism with Mrs. Wang and talking about the Diamond Sutra is a matter of great elegance, which can be understood by a hairy man like you." Moreover, you old man, you are very disrespectful? ”

"Really?" Li Ze sighed: "On Lu Long's side, is Mr. Gongsun also talking to people about the Diamond Sutra, and then saying that he has no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth?" ”

Gongsun Changming looked at Li Ze with wide eyes, his fair face slowly turned red, and even his ears became red, and it took a long time to grit his teeth and say, "What did Liang Han tell you?" ”

Li Ze, who suddenly grasped the initiative, said slowly: "Mr. Gongsun, my mother told me to treat you well, why don't we go and have a few drinks?" How about going to your Moxiang House? ”

"Please!" Gongsun Changming flicked the sleeves of his robe, turned around and left.
