Chapter 53: The Little Monk

Everything was settled.

The villagers began to prepare for the upcoming opportunity to "make a lot of money".

The workforce began to fill the mountains in search of a plant.

This plant doesn't grow much in the mountains, and no one usually takes it seriously when you see it.

However, at this time, Xu Baiyu asked Ji Ruyan to tell everyone to pick it.

And Xu Baiyu's explanation to Ji Ruyan was: "Since meat sells such expensive things, it must provide good enjoyment, right?"

Most of the plants in the mountains have been picked.

Xu Baiyu remembered that this season was not the season when this plant was ripe, but in this mountain, it was just ripe.

These were all decided by Xu Baiyu after his field trip.

Therefore, when those plants were picked back, Xu Baiyu did it himself, and after some processing, it became a bottle of powder.

"You said the day before yesterday that they all have storage bags and will bring a lot of dry food, which is true, but with this, I think most people will still be unable to bear it. Xu Baiyu pointed to the bottles and said to Ji Ruyan.

"Are these the same as croton?"

Xu Baiyu shook his head. "You'll know then!" After saying that, he took a small bottle and walked away with a smile.

I went to get a fox leg again, and then I walked home.

Ji Qianhua was sitting at the door, Xu Baiyu waved at her and said, "Let's go, daughter-in-law, take you to the mountains!"

Ji Qianhua jumped up, this was the first time Xu Baiyu took the initiative to take her out alone.

The two of them walked to the back mountain and sat down in a sunny open space.

Then, I saw Xu Baiyu start to build a shelf and raise the fire.

Ji Qianhua was originally going to help, but Xu Baiyu asked her to sit there and wait.

......

Ji Qianhua felt that his stomach was round. But she still wanted to eat another piece.

She swore she had grown so big that she had never eaten this delicious thing.

However, Xu Baiyu stopped her. As the name suggests, you can't be greedy for deliciousness!

Ji Qianhua thought that the appearance he had just eaten would definitely not be good-looking, and he lowered his head a little embarrassed.

"Do you think those people will be willing to pay for our meat?"

Ji Qianhua had no concept of money, but he knew the taste of this food best, so he nodded immediately.

"Actually, my craft is not yet at home, if I change to the master I knew before, I will keep you until you can't walk. There is a saying that nothing can be solved by a barbecue. If there is, then two. ”

Ji Qianhua looked at Xu Baiyu who was talking eloquently with a smile, and wanted to tell him that if he hadn't stopped him, he wouldn't be able to walk.

The two of them were sitting on the hillside, and it was a little hot to gnaw on their legs just now, but the slight cool breeze felt good.

At this moment, suddenly Ji Qianhua stood up. "Someone's coming!"

Xu Baiyu looked at her, looked around, and didn't find anyone. However, he did not doubt the feeling of Ji Qian's painting.

After all, she is now at the level of an empress, and her perception will not be wrong.

Sure enough, soon, a thick fallen leaf next to it moved, and a shiny bald head was revealed.

He is a delicate little monk.

As soon as the little monk showed his head, he looked at Xu Baiyu and the two and said, "Two donors, do you have anything to eat? The little monk is dying of hunger!"

Xu Baiyu pointed to the uneaten fox bear meat in front of him and said, "There are still some more, it depends on whether you dare to eat them!"

The bald head was stunned for a moment, and he put his hands together and said, "Sins, sins, sins!"

Xu Baiyu laughed.

"Look, there is food, but you dare not eat it. What can I do if I'm starving!?"

The monk said, "Although the little monk is hungry, he must not break the precepts! Otherwise, the Buddha will blame him." ”

"Then, if you starve to death, will the Buddha save you?" Xu Baiyu took the fox leg and put it in front of him and said.

"Goodong" the monk swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Buddha, Buddha, the little monk doesn't know." He must be busy!"

"Yes, he's very busy, so he doesn't have time to care if you break the vow or not. Let's eat, it's delicious. ”

"No, no, no, if the little monk eats meat, the master knows that he will be beaten to death. ”

"All appearances are illusory, and all things are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, and they are regarded as such. This should be the words of your Buddhists. Dare to ask the little monk, how do you explain this?" Xu Baiyu asked.

"The donor also understands the Dharma?" the monk did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

"The Dharma is vast and profound, and if I understood it, wouldn't I be a Buddha anymore? However, I think that this sentence can be interpreted in this way, everything is false! I don't know the little master, is it feasible?" Xu Baiyu asked.

Master also said this. That's what he told me. The little monk said.

"If everything is false, why should you care what the food is in front of you?"

"But......" the little monk was moved.

"Actually, you practice Buddhism and pay attention to meditation and extinguishing desires. To put it bluntly, I'm afraid that if you eat this meat, you will never forget it in your mind. But if you've eaten it and don't want it in your head, then everything doesn't matter. Everywhere there is no heart is pure; When you are pure, you must not think purely, and your name is not pure; When there is no purity, it is not allowed to think of impurity, it is nothing and impurity. In the end, Xu Baiyu also said a Zen saying.

"The donor's speech is a bit like my master!" the monk was a little moved.

"Little Master, the Buddha said that the most important thing is to let go. You're just in the picture. The reason why you are dying of hunger and still think about not breaking your vows is because you haven't let go yet. If you eat this bite of meat, your mind can let go, and you won't break your vows. Xu Baiyu said.

"What's the point?"

"Wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart! The Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it!"

"I've been taught! The little monk has been taught!" After the little monk finished speaking, he snatched the fox bear leg in Xu Baiyu's hand and bit it down. It looks like I wish I had a bigger mouth!

Seeing that the leg was almost eaten by him, Ji Qianhua showed a frightened expression.

That's enough for three people to eat for a day!

He almost finished eating it in one go!

"Xianggong also understands Buddhism?" Ji Qianhua asked in a low voice.

Xu Baiyu shook his head. "I don't understand. If I had understood, would I have married you? Isn't that a broken vow? Compared to Buddhism, I think it's better to be a daughter-in-law!"

"Poof" Ji Qian was amused.

"Actually, I didn't understand what I just said, but I can't let him starve to death!" Xu Baiyu said.

Ji Qian's painting is even more enjoyable. She felt that Xu Baiyu was deliberately teasing her.

"Ahem, two donors, do you have any water?" Suddenly, the little monk wiped his mouth and asked.

"Nope. But there's one down the hill!"

"Then donor, can I go back with you and ask for a glass of water?"

"Yes!"

"Thank you, donor! The donor is right, the wine and meat have passed through the intestines of the Buddha's heart! I have passed through the intestines now!"

Xu Baiyu shook his head. "Little Master. You're lying! Monks don't speak!"

"No, the little monk didn't lie. The little monk really let it go!" The little monk's face was a little panicked.

"Lie and the Buddha will punish you. Come home with me and get some water!"
