Chapter Seventy-Four: The Meat-Eating Monk

"What is this? Yang Ming smelled the fragrance in the air, his index finger moved, and he smelled the fragrance and walked forward.

Cuckoo......

The sound of agitation sounded, and the scene in front of him made Yang Ming's eyes shine, and at the same time, he spoke with relish.

He finally knew what the smell was, the smell of meat, the smell of delicious meat boiling in a pot.

A copper tripod rests on the fire, and inside it is a large piece of meat stewed, in which the rich gravy is agitated, and the enticing aroma emanates from it, which is extremely rich.

Yang Ming stared at the piece of meat in the copper tripod, and the longing in his eyes almost turned into substance. He hadn't tasted any meat in a long time, so even the smell was familiar and unfamiliar, and it was hard to distinguish.

The food here is delicious, but it's vegetarian, not meat. Lacking the unique taste and unique fragrance of meat, now smelling the aroma of meat, Yang Ming feels that the whole person is attracted.

Knort, silky ......

A fork pierced out from the side, tied up the meat in the copper tripod, and then put it in the mouth and took a big bite, and the rich meat juice flowed down from it, giving people a feeling of appetite.

Yang Ming was attracted by this scene, not only because the sight was too tempting, but also because the person biting the piece of meat was a monk.

The monk was in sturdy shape, his tall body was twice the size of an ordinary person, and his body was full of large muscles, and he was now hanging his robe diagonally, biting on the stewed soft and glutinous pieces of meat.

The scene in front of him made Yang obviously surprised, the monk who wanted to be disciplined by the Qing rules was hiding in the Thousand Buddha Cave and eating meat, which was very surprising, and somewhat subverted Yang Ming's view of Putuo Mountain.

Yang Ming swallowed his saliva, walked up to the sturdy monk and said, "Master, is this meat?"

The sturdy monk didn't look up, but just tied up another piece of flesh: "Nonsense, are you looking bad or what?"

The sturdy monk continued to bite into the piece of meat in his hand, making the aroma even stronger.

"No, don't monks abide by the rules and precepts and can't eat meat?" Yang Ming scratched his head and said.

"Who told you that?" the sturdy monk squinted at Yang Ming as he continued to chew the meat in his mouth.

"Isn't it?" Yang Ming said in surprise.

"The Buddha has eaten meat, when the Buddha was still a mortal, when he walked and practiced in the world, he received alms from people, and he also ate meat. And after the cultivation is successful, after the establishment of the religion, it is not that he does not eat meat, but he does not eat non-three pure meat, and the meat is mainly spicy spices.

As long as these three things are satisfied: first, I do not see the one who kills, and I do not see what I kill, and I do not hear about the one who kills me, and I do not hear about the one who kills me, and third, the one who does not suspect that he is killing for me, and he who is not killed because of me, can eat it. Monks in the world can eat meat, and the same is true of Putuo Mountain, but the mountain is full of spiritual energy, and there are too few beasts that die naturally, so there is a lack of meat, and there is no meat on the table.

There are also some monks who can't practice at home, so they abstain from eating meat, so that they can practice the concept of equality of all beings in their hearts, so that their practice can be faster. But this is only a minority, I don't know where you hear that not eating meat means not eating meat. The sturdy monk chewed the meat in his mouth and said indifferently.

Yang Ming looked suddenly enlightened: "Oh, I see. ”

"What about eating meat and fish, and what about drinking? If you are at home, why should you care about that small section. The sturdy monk leaned against the mountain and said disdainfully.

Yang Ming looked directly at the meat in the copper tripod: "That master, can you divide this meat with me?"

"If you want to eat, say it early, go around such a big circle, just sit down and eat. The sturdy monk tied up a piece of flesh again, and did not lift his head.

Yang Ming hurriedly sat down, tied the meat with the steel fork next to him, and bit it heavily.

The aroma of the meat is overflowing, the heat is accompanied by the aroma of the meat between the lips and teeth, the rich temperature extends from the tip of the tongue to the throat, and finally the whole stomach is warm and very comfortable.

Yang Ming's eyes lit up, and he ate the fist-sized piece of meat in three or two bites, picked up the steel fork next to him and continued to tie the meat piece, biting it with a big mouthful.

The two of you are one for you and one for me. I'm big, you're small, hey, I'm faster than you...... it gone!

It was in this kind of scramble that the entire piece of meat of the copper tripod was divided between the two.

The sturdy monk leaned against the mountain wall, took out a small wooden skewer and shaved his teeth, a bit like the old man in the countryside who was enjoying the shade under the tree.

Yang Ming felt that his whole body was burning, and a warm current spread from his abdomen to his limbs, and his body was hot.

In order to alleviate the burning sensation, Yang Ming could only sit down cross-legged and run exercises to digest the sensation.

After about three incense sticks, Yang Ming exhaled a thick turbid breath and slowly opened his eyes.

"Boy, if you can come here, it means that the Dharma Faces you have fought are all good, let's talk about those ones. The sturdy monk asked casually as he drank his tea.

"The main ones are the dragon descending Arhats, the Thousand Skill Arhats, and the Qingyuan Bodhisattva. Yang Ming replied casually.

The sturdy monk's hand holding the tea was in the air for a moment, and then he calmed down again: "Oh, since it is these three, if I am not mistaken, you are only in the Heart Lotus Realm now, and you can actually defeat the Dragon Descending Arhat and a Bodhisattva, and your ability is good." ”

"The main thing is that the Dragon Descending Arhat and Qingyuan Bodhisattva are also suppressed to the Heart Lotus Realm, and they are also restricted by the Thousand Buddha Cave. Because the time is still short, and he is a halfway monk, if he sneers at the practice, then the current realm will be a little higher. Yang Ming scratched his head, then looked at the teapot on the side: "Master, can you give me a cup of tea?"

The sturdy monk's expression was calm, and with a wave of his hand, a cup of tea flew in front of Yang Ming.

Yang Ming picked up this tea and tasted it in small sips.

To be honest, Yang Ming had an inexplicable sense of closeness to this sturdy monk. may be because he is not like the ordinary monks of this Putuo Mountain, they are all the kind of clouds and breezy and indifferent appearance. is a relatively bold personality, with the fireworks that Yang Ming has not been exposed to for a long time, which makes people trust.

At that time, these prerequisites were because Yang Ming was still in Putuo Mountain, a famous Buddhist mountain, and all of them were Buddhist monks, and there was no so-called dissent. And the statement of the sturdy monk who just had three pure flesh also proved his identity, so he could do so.

"In that case, what did you get from the Thousand Buddha Caves?" asked the sturdy monk with a cup of tea.

"A good boxing technique, Ming Photovoltaic Magic Fist. Yang Ming looked up and replied.

"This punch is acceptable, if you use him more to punish evil spirits and suppress demons, you can increase its power. The sturdy monk stood up and patted the dirt on his body.

"Alright, the meat is finished, let's disperse. ”

"Thank you, Master, uh, for the meat. Yang Ming thanked him.

The sturdy monk glanced back at Yang Ming, didn't say much, and then left from the Thousand Buddha Cave.

Yang Ming rested for a while, and then left from the Thousand Buddha Cave. The sun was shining in the hole, and the midday sun was floating in the air.

Although the current Yang Ming has just finished fighting against Qingyuan Bodhisattva, he is in good condition in his body, and there is no loss of qi and blood.

Yang Ming insisted on his state, and he was good in all aspects, and he gained a lot in the Thousand Buddha Cave.

"It's time to exercise the physical body, and this Buddha Dao golden body is still very helpful. Yang Ming touched his chin and thought. If he didn't have this Buddha Dao Golden Body, he wouldn't have been able to go so far, and now he said that Vajra One Perfection should try his best to raise the level of this Buddha Dao Golden Body.

Asking Master Perfecting Xin, Yang Ming knew that there was a waterfall behind Putuo Mountain, the water flow and the spiritual energy torrent were mixed, the impact was huge, far beyond the ordinary waterfall, and many Buddhist cultivators had cultivated the flesh here.

Unexpectedly, after getting this news, Yang Ming went to this waterfall to practice.

After crossing a distance, Yang Ming felt the water vapor tumbling, and a surging white waterfall fell from the sky, the impact force was huge, several times heavier than the ordinary water flow, very heavy. Rich water vapor spreads from it, and it looks like a mighty sound.

"It should be more common to exercise the body with a waterfall, which is a good method, but I don't know how effective it is. However, it can only be tried when the cultivation is still shallow. Yang Ming pondered, when his cultivation reached a high level, even if the power of his physical body alone would have no effect at all.

Yang Ming sat under this waterfall, running the golden body of the Buddha, his body emitted a pale golden light, although he felt a slight tingling sensation all over his body when he was hit by the current, but it was because of this that he felt that it was effective.

The pale red light was released, and the Chiyuan forging body was also urged at this moment, and the two methods worked together, so that the effect followed the foot.

At night, Yang Ming slowly opened his eyes and walked out of this waterfall. Although the impact of this waterfall is acceptable, the actual effect is not good, and the effect of this waterfall is still too ordinary.

"Once the Vajra body is attained, the effect of this waterfall on the forging of the physical body is negligible. And at your current capacity, exercising in this way is naturally very ineffective. The sturdy monk Yang Ming met during the day was standing on the shore with dissatisfaction on his face.

"There were once talented people who practiced the golden body of the Buddha's path, breaking through the fivefold realm at one time, and directly reaching the tenth level of the diamond from the fifth level of the vajra. As long as the conditions are right, you will not be considered to have broken through the fivefold realm, and the third or fourth realm will still be fine. ”

Yang Ming was very moved when he heard the light in his eyes.

"What, heartbeat?" asked the sturdy monk rhetorically.

Yang Ming arched his hand and said sincerely: "Please also ask the master to help me." ”

"Why should I help you?" asked the sturdy monk rhetorically.

Yang Ming scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

"It's not impossible to help you, but you have to promise me one condition. The sturdy monk touched his chin and said.

"Please also ask the master to say, I will help if I can. Yang Ming smiled bitterly.

"Don't worry, it's not that you want to complete it now, but you have the ability to do it in the future. The sturdy monk said: "There is a treasure called the Frost Snow Clam, which sheds part of its skin and flesh like a snake every seven hundred years, so that its strength increases, and its whole body becomes more crystalline. And the molting of the frost clams is used to stew soup, which is a peerless delicacy. What I want you to do is bring back the molting of this frosty snow clam in the future. ”

Yang Ming arched his hand and said, "Only I have the ability, and I will definitely bring the molting of this frost snow clam." ”

The claim that monks and monks can eat the three pure meats is not made up by Yun Tian, but is true. At first, Shakyamuni thought that it was okay to eat the three pure meats, but Devadatta advocated not eating any meat, and in the end they were divided because of different theories. Later Buddhism was divided into Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism, and Theravada Buddhism allowed you to eat the three pure meats. The setting here is still based on the views of Shakyamuni Buddha.
