Chapter 416: Buddhism Comes West
"What then? You can't really eat it, can you? Why don't you take a bite? Liu Zhang has also heard many rumors of ethnic minorities, what boy urine boiled eggs, what placenta feast, Xiao Furong's Youxi Miao people, there is a habit, bake cakes with cow dung, the cakes are buried under the cow dung, the guests go, the Miao people will be very enthusiastic to eat the cakes.
If the guest does not eat...... If you meet a Miao person with a bad temper, I will kill you in the middle of the night.
"I don't eat it...... Alas, I'll go and see. Huang Yueying thought about it for a while, Yinyue Cave was the first tribe to take the initiative to surrender, and she didn't want to cause any discord.
"You're not going to really eat it, are you? Yueying, I'm kidding. ”
Huang Yueying walked to the woman's side, talked to the woman in the wingman's language, and when she came back after a while, Liu Zhang saw that the wingman woman had collected her tears, and her body continued to cook "food" with her body twitching, as if she was still sad, but it was much better than just now.
Huang Yueying looked at the worms in the dustpan and said to Liu Zhang: "I asked, they have been eating this thing here for hundreds of years, and it is their main meat.
The girl said that this kind of insect is very difficult to catch, and there are very few, because seven days later it is the Black Dragon Festival of the wingman, which is specially used to worship the black dragon, which is very precious, and she saw that we are honored guests, so she took it out for us to eat, but she didn't expect it to be like this, and the little girl's self-esteem was hurt. ”
Xiao Furong said: "Our poor people of different races are so pitiful, they can only eat these things. ”
"Not really." Huang Yueying said: "That little girl doesn't think so, they think that these insects are a gift from God, which is not a spiritual comfort. Even if you hunt and catch a rich prey. They are also more willing to eat these bugs.
Ginwol-dong is a famous longevity cave. The people rarely get sick, and all of them live a long life, the old people live more than 70 years old, and there have been several centenarians, according to the little girl, these are all due to the fact that they eat insects, and every household in the Silver Moon Cave raises insects and catches wild insects. I never felt anything wrong with it. ”
"It's foolish." Xiao Furong said.
Liu Zhang glanced at the insects in the dustpan again, in addition to the dustpan, Liu Zhang found that there was a bamboo cage hanging on each side of the cave, and there were some things flying in it, it should be flying insects, and he pondered: "What they said may really be true, these insects should be very nutritious." ”
Liu Zhang remembers that it has been studied in modern times that insects and wriggling insects have the highest protein and are the most nutritious. An insect is worth a few catties of meat or something, and he said that he wanted to promote the consumption of insects.
"I don't believe it." Xiao Furong didn't believe that those disgusting things could be nutritious.
Huang Yueying said: "I believe it." Otherwise, how can so many long-lived people in the Silver Moon Cave explain? There are some things that we just can't accept emotionally...... En ......" Huang Yueying's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said to Liu Zhang: "Lord, I thought of a good idea." ”
"Are you sure?" Liu Zhang looked at Huang Yueying's appearance, as if he had some bad idea.
Huang Yueying said: "People don't eat meat and have no strength, but meat is much more expensive than vegetarian food, we Jingyi Erzhou, now many farmers also raise some grass-fed animals, but a sheep grows up for more than half a year, and a cow is longer."
Raising pigs for a year, cutting a big basket of pigweed every day is too tiring, I think this insect is like a good look, nutritious, and long-lived, we might as well promote it in the Han District. ”
"It's easy to say." Liu Zhang glanced at Huang Yueying with contempt, and it was really a bad idea: "You and I don't want to eat, and let the people eat it." ”
"Oh, that's just as well." Huang Yueying groaned: "Maybe someone will eat it." ”
"Do you eat?"
"Do you eat?"
Liu Zhang asked a few pro-soldiers, and several pro-soldiers shook their heads in fear.
"Ugh." Huang Yueying sighed: "If we can raise these insects, we will definitely supplement our lack of meat, so that the people will live a better life, but how to accept it, I really ...... Can't think of a way. ”
"Don't think about it." Insects can be eaten, but few people have eaten them for thousands of years, which can already explain the problem, except for the people in Yinyue Cave, no one can eat it at all, and even they don't want to eat it, to popularize it to the common people, is it too lacking in virtue? Even if you are moral, and you don't get too quickly scolded by the people, you must think that your brain is in water.
Liu Zhang didn't want to waste his efforts.
The army was stationed properly, and the matter with Yinyue Cave was also discussed, and they only waited for seven days to complete the correction and leave, Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying did not have so much military affairs, and sat in the courtyard of the wingman and the woman to talk.
The moon rises, the green mountains are silvery, Liu Zhang and Xiao Furong Huang Yueying are sitting in a circle, chatting happily, a noise comes from the mountain road, as if someone is being chased, and the person being chased is shouting Chinese.
"Help, help."
"Buddha is merciful, how can you beat people."
"Buddha help."
Two tattered monks emerged from the mountain path and fled in confusion, followed by a large group of wingmen with wooden sticks in pursuit, babbling endlessly.
"Help." When the monks saw Liu Zhang, they immediately rushed over like a savior, hid behind Liu Zhang, and dozens of wingmen followed, some old and young, some men and some women, with angry faces on their faces.
Seeing the monk hiding behind Liu Zhang, they knew what Liu Zhang's identity was, and there were a large number of pro-soldiers, so they no longer chased after him, but only looked at the two monks angrily.
"What's going on?" Huang Yueying shouted to the bureaucrats in the language of the bureaucrats.
Yi Yiyi, the leader of the wingmen, replied, and Huang Yueying frowned and said to Liu Zhang: "These two monks can't stay, so they will be handed over to the wingmen?" ”
"Huh?" Liu Zhang glanced back at the two monks in surprise, he didn't believe that these two could do anything bad: "What did they do?" ”
Huang Yueying said: "They ran to the black dragon pagoda worshiped by the bureaucrats to worship their Buddha, and when they saw a big black python wrapped around the statue, they only felt disrespectful, and told the bureaucrats about their Buddhism, which angered the bureaucrats who worshiped the black dragon." ”
Liu Zhang glanced at the two monks, this is really damned, the beliefs of ethnic minorities are the most unprofane, you go to point fingers at things that people have worshiped for hundreds of thousands of years, and also preach your wordy scriptures, isn't this looking for a draw? People don't beat you or anyone.
"What are you doing in a daze, go out?" Liu Zhang said to the big and small monks.
"Donor." The great monk looked at Liu Zhang with a bitter face: "You won't be so ruthless, right?" We can't die. ”
"Why can't you die? I told you I don't like compassion a long time ago, didn't Shakyamuni say that good people go to the Western Elysium when they die? The two masters are so kind, they will definitely be able to go up, maybe they can get a Buddha to be, the worst, with the practice of the two masters, good has good and evil is rewarded, and the cycle of cause and effect can also reincarnate a good person in your next life. ”
"The donor's study of the Buddha is really broad and profound." The great monk was surprised.
"Why don't you hurry over?"
"But we still have to keep a useful body to preach the Dharma."
"There is no shortage of you two."
The big monk's face was even more bitter, and the wingmen on the other side were already impatient, and they all clamored and told the two monks to hurry over and die.
"Donor, save us." The great monk finally stopped preaching Buddhism, and begged: "It's really not easy for us to come all the way, there were more than 20 people from the same sect together, the sick died, the hungry died of starvation, and some were killed by the bandits and natives, and now there are only two of us left."
We brought seventy-four volumes of scriptures this time, which are extremely precious, you know the family, we are poor in poison, the temple is also poor, so many sheepskin rolls are not easy to come by, and they can't be lost, look at the Buddha's sake, no, for the sake of the Jade Emperor, the donor will help us. ”
This monk knows how to be flexible, Liu Zhang smiled and said: "I can't help you, you go and tell those people that the black dragon is one of the seventeen supreme gods of your Buddhism, and it is at the head of the seventeen supreme gods, but it is never seen, and ordinary laymen are not qualified to worship the black dragon at all. ”
"The head of the seventeen supreme gods?" The great monk was stunned.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it, you can keep running."
"Say, say, speak."
The great monk agreed, with a bitter face, it is not easy to be a monk, and it is not easy for them to spread the Dharma wholeheartedly, how can they be careful about these little things, in order to preach, they can only compromise and seek perfection, in fact, the monks before the Three Kingdoms often do it, and the monks after the Three Kingdoms still often do it.
The great monk Huang Yueying relayed Liu Zhang's words, and those people heard that the black dragon was the supreme god of Buddhism, or the most mysterious, greatest and most powerful one, and the ordinary people did not dare to worship it, so they smiled happily, gave the two monks a warning look, and walked away with a flat pole and bamboo poles.
Huang Yueying looked at the two monks, and suddenly said to Liu Zhang: "Lord, these two monks are of great use. ”
"Monk? What is it for? Liu Zhang was puzzled.
At this time, the monks and monks came over, expressed their gratitude to Liu Zhang, and were about to leave, but after walking two steps and turning back, they said to Liu Zhang: "I don't know the name of this distinguished benefactor, what is his identity?" ”
"Does a Buddha also pay attention to identity?"
The great monk smiled awkwardly, since he had already had what happened just now, he didn't play the Buddha anymore, and smiled at Liu Zhang: "It's just a personal curiosity, I haven't attained the Buddha yet, and I can't get rid of the distracting thoughts in my head." ”
"The Great Han Yizhou Pastor and the leader of Jingzhou Jiaozhou Thorn History, Shu Hou Liu Zhang."
"Uncle Liu?" The great monk was surprised.
"You know?"
"No, no, it was told by a few of the same people who came back from China and Earth, saying that now there are three strongest forces in the Han Dynasty, one is Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, the second is Sun Quan of Jiangdong, and the third is Uncle Liu Huang of Shu, there are already a certain number of temples in the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty, and Sun Quan of Jiangdong advocates Taoism, and the reason why we came from the southwest road is to want to extend Buddhism to Jingyi Hanmin, and please wait for Shu to be fulfilled."
"If you go on a mission by yourself, as long as you don't break the law and discipline and deceive people, I won't stop you." (To be continued.) )
