When Luda heard that he didn't accept himself, he was anxious, and said: "Then how can I do it, the old minister recommended me here, which shows that I am indeed a suitable monk." ”

The abbot smiled: "Yes, you were indeed suitable to be a monk, but now you can't, your life has changed, and you are destined to be a general who fights in all directions, and it is not suitable to become a monk." ”

"Then I don't care, I'll live here." Ruda is a liar.

The abbot said: "I will accept you as a registered disciple, the Dharma name is Zhishen, but I don't shave my hair, I will arrange a deacon for you, and study the Dharma in the morning and evening when you have time." ”

As soon as Luda heard that there was a door, he immediately said: "Disciple Lu Zhishen pays a visit to the master." ”

After the ceremony, the abbot called the steward to arrange a position for Ruda, and left after speaking. The great monk in charge of the affairs made a difficulty, a radish and a pit in the temple, and there were people to do their errands, and the big monk in charge said: "I think of a good errand, there is a large vegetable garden under the mountain, hundreds of acres, and there are three or five farmers to do the work and grow vegetables, and I will send you there to take care of the vegetable garden." This position is called the head of the cabbage, and the size is also a steward. ”

Ruda said: "What's so nice about a vegetable garden. ”

"You don't understand, our vegetable garden is fertile, the vegetables are very good, there are always a few broken households who often come to fight the autumn wind, and many vegetables are damaged, and now the old monk who looks at the vegetable garden is old and frail and can't be the head of this vegetable." The great monk said.

Luda said: "Okay, the Sprinkle family will go to manage the vegetable garden and be a Lu vegetable head." ”

Although he is a registered disciple, he has to have a Dharma saucer, and he went through the formalities for Luda, so Luda became a great monk with a hair and practice, of course, the general's dress had to be changed, and then he led the horse and took the salute to the vegetable garden.

When I arrived at the vegetable garden, Luda found that the Wutai Mountain Monastery was really rich, and this vegetable garden alone was probably as many as 100 acres, all of which were good fields, with waterwheels and canals, and all kinds of vegetables in the ground. There are five farmers who grow vegetables by profession, but they are all hired and do not take care of the garden. After taking over the position, Ruda went to the town and called the little monkey, and the guards in the vegetable garden were quite large anyway. This job is good, there is nothing to do, rice, noodles, and vegetables are available, and in addition to eating and sleeping every day, it is to practice boxing and swords.

Ruda also bought sandbags and stone locks, and practiced every morning and evening. The little monkey is the only soldier in Luda, and now the little monkey is unlucky, carrying a big wooden stick on his back every day, running ten laps around the vegetable garden.

Luda practiced boxing and swords every day, majestic, murderous, a few nearby people who often came to steal vegetables were scared of their courage, which dared to make a time, not to mention anything else, just say that the skills of this little monkey are amazing.

The abbot also asked Ruda to listen to some Buddhist scriptures every once in a while, but Luda has a bad memory of this thing, except for learning Oh Mituo Buddha, nothing else. Ruda thought that the old minister said that the abbot would teach him martial arts, but it was always difficult to ask.

In the afternoon of this day, Ruda finished punching the sandbag, kicked his legs and feet, picked up the wind knife, brushed and brushed, and practiced a knife technique. While practicing, Ruda found that the old abbot was coming, smiling beside him.

Ruda said: "The abbot is here, Zhishen has given you a salute." ”

The abbot said: "Don't be formal, Zhishen, my wind knife is a good knife, not made by an ordinary blacksmith, who gave it to you." ”

Ruda said: "The abbot has good eyesight, this is made by the sword master Tang Long, and it is made of good steel, which is extremely sharp. ”

The abbot nodded and said: "It is indeed a good knife, but your strength is too great, this knife can only be used as an auxiliary weapon, not as a main battle weapon. ”

Ruda said, "Then what weapon should I choose?" ”

"Zen staff, Zen staff is a magic weapon for Buddhism to subdue demons, as a weapon at the same time, it can also suppress your murderous energy, so as not to go mad and escape into the devil's way." The abbot said.

Ruda said, "Isn't there a blacksmith shop in the town, I'll go and build one." ”

Luda didn't go to the blacksmith shop a few days to build a magic wand, this guy is more than sixty pounds of good iron, one side is a shovel, the other side is a crescent, it is really cool to use, but the price is also distressing, and Luda received fifteen yuan.

The days were also quiet, and months passed in a flash, and it was originally spring to take refuge, but now it is autumn in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Luda called the little monkey over and said: "The Sprinkle family has been a monk for several months, and during this time, it has been a vegetable meal every day, and there is no wine and meat, so you can go up the mountain to hunt a few pheasants, and then buy a few jars of good wine, let's drink him." ”

The little monkey hesitated a little and said, "You are a monk now, and eating wine and meat is a violation of the precepts." ”

"Why are you like this, this is a vegetable garden, not a temple, who knows if we eat meat and drink wine."

Seeing that Luda said this, the little monkey was not easy to refute, so he immediately went up the mountain and hunted four pheasants, which were fat and big, and stewed them in a pot first, and then went to the street to buy wine.

It is also a coincidence, there is a monk named Laili head in the monastery, originally ten splashes before becoming a monk, this day he went down the mountain to buy some wine and ate secretly, just when he walked through the vegetable garden, he smelled the smell of meat, the pheasant growing on the mountain is not a broiler raised in a chicken farm, the smell is called a strong aroma, spread far away. Reilly smelled the meat and found the garden. This guy wants to tell Luda, I want to eat meat and drink wine, Luda will definitely invite him, but he doesn't, he intimidated Luda, and as soon as he came over, he said: "You great monk, you are so bold, Buddhism dares to steal meat, this is a violation of the precepts." ”

Originally, Reilly thought that with such a threat, Luda would succumb, and then Reilly would stay and eat meat, but where did Luda understand this, he didn't care about your intimidation when his temper came up, and immediately Luda said: "What do you have to do with the Sprinkle family eating wine and meat, don't come here to scare the Sprinkler family." ”

Reilly said: "Hey, it's against you, you know who I am, I and the monastery are good brothers, you know each other obediently, divide half of the wine and meat, I won't report you, if not, don't blame me for accusing you." ”

Ruda slapped it and scolded: "It turned out to be an autumn wind fighter, get out." ”

Reilly slapped Ruda on the head, his face was hot, and he left immediately.

It didn't take long for the little monkey to buy wine and come back, two good jars of wine, the two of them drank while eating chicken, and Luda had no score as soon as he drank, anyway, there was nothing to do, and he drank a jar and a half alone. The little monkey also drank some, and just then the door of the vegetable garden was kicked open, and twenty or thirty monks rushed in with sticks.

The little monkey secretly said that it was not good, he must have been known by the temple about Lu Zhishen's drinking, and he was not an outsider to interfere in this matter, so he immediately hid and watched.

Reilly pointed at Ruda with a wooden stick on his head and said, "You are so uninteresting, now let you know how good I am." ”

Immediately commanded the monks to rush up and beat Ruda, Luda drank high and was on the head of the wine, and when he saw someone coming to beat him, he immediately shook a pair of big iron fists and fought. With one pair of twenty, it did not fall behind. This group of monks didn't know the rules, they all relied on brute force to fight, where was Luda's opponent, but in a moment, they were beaten by Luda crookedly, and their noses were blue and their faces were swollen. Reilly was slapped on the head by Ruda again, and his whole face was swollen. Helpless, Reilly returned to the monastery with the remnants of the defeated army, and if he couldn't make a plan, Reilly took the monk with a blue nose and swollen face to the abbot to complain, saying that Luda, who was watching the vegetable garden at the bottom of the mountain, made trouble for no reason after drinking and injured everyone.

The abbot investigated and found that it was indeed Ruda who ate meat and drank wine first, and beat everyone later, so he had to be severely punished, and Luda was punished to write a letter of guarantee, and he would not drink and make trouble again in the future, and this matter would be over. But the feud between Ruda and Reilly is over, Ruda doesn't care about such a trivial matter, but Reilly can remember it.

Within a few days, Reilly brought six miscellaneous monks from the house and took away six Chinese cabbages from the vegetable garden. On the way back from selling firewood, the little monkey saw Reilly, and he sold three of the cabbages to a nearby vegetable seller. The little monkey went back to Luda and said, "Brother Lu, that Reilly head is a guy who eats inside and out, and he actually secretly took the vegetables in the vegetable garden and sold them. ”

Ruda was hot-tempered and said, "Look for him, arrest him and go to the abbot." ”

The little monkey said: "As the saying goes, catch the thief and catch the stolen goods, take the traitor and take the double, they have already finished the transaction, how to catch it, it must be a non-confession, it is better to wait for the next time when we have all the stolen goods, so that he has nothing to say." ”

Luda said: "Yes, let's wait for the next time to arrest him." ”

After another three or five days, Reilly brought the miscellaneous monks in the house to carry the turnips, and made five loads of turnips. Reilly led the people away, not noticing that Ruda was following far behind. Reilly's gang of people don't shy away from selling vegetables, and they are still the same vendors last time, and they trade when they find a remote place.

"Two loads of radishes are more than 200 catties, and I will charge you 200 yuan." Reilly said.

The peddler said, "Good talk, good talk, give you money." ”

At this time, I suddenly heard a loud noise: "Okay, you are a Laili head, you dare to sell the vegetables of the temple privately, go, follow me to see the abbot." ”

When Reilly saw that something had happened, he immediately pulled out his legs and was about to slip away, but where could Ruda allow him to escape, blocked the way and shouted, "Where to go." Reilly was a broken household before he became a monk, and when he saw that there was no way out, he said: "Luda, don't think that you are afraid of you because you have been a general, watch the fight." ”

After that, he picked up the flat pole and hit Ruda's head, Luda caught the flat pole with his hand, threw it on the ground, and the big fist went up, where was Ruda's opponent on Reilly's head, only one fist hit his mouth, and the two front teeth fell out.

Ruda saw that Reilly's head was bleeding and his teeth were gone, and it was not easy to fight again, so he immediately pulled Reilly's head to see the abbot.

The abbot saw that Luda was hurting, but there was a reason for the incident, and he originally wanted to mention Ruda to speak, but the other elders said that Luda was too fierce and that it would inevitably have an accident in the future, so he would have to deal with Ruda instead.
