Chapter 54: The Truth of the River
Sixty miles, in the previous life, it might take half an hour by car...... However, in ancient times, this extremely underdeveloped transportation boundary, coupled with the poor road, walked for more than two hours, and only then could it be reached at night.
Along the way, Su Jing did not show any eagerness, and did not urge Zhang Cuishan and the others to give him the cheats after he arrived at the inn, but still behaved in the same way as before, and this mentality naturally impressed Yu Lianzhou and others.
Arrived at the inn.
It is a rather large inn, with a second and third floor for guests to stay and a dining room on the first floor...... According to Yu Lianzhou, this inn is the largest inn within a radius of hundreds of miles!
It's just that when I was eating, I made a joke.
Considering that Jiang Liu is a monk, Yu Lianzhou ordered two vegetarian dishes very intimately, and specially instructed the kitchen not to be a little oily, and then wrapped a separate table for him to prevent the oil from splashing into his bowl...... The care is extremely considerate.
As for his words, as a martial arts person, practicing is the most physically exhausting, even if he is a Wudang disciple, he is not happy with meat every day, plus Zhang Wuji has never eaten Central Plains food since he was a child, so Yu Lianzhou hugged Zhang Wuji and called a table full of meat banquets with Su Jing, Zhang Cuishan and others...... Such as crystal elbows, sauce fried pig's trotters, sweet and sour fish and other big meat things, not only taste and aroma, but also good looks, but also worthy of this inn full of friends.
And the many exquisite meals, Zhang Wuji's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he sat in Yu Lianzhou's arms and kept shouting that Uncle Shi I want to eat this, Uncle Shi I want to eat that...... For a while, they couldn't even take care of their parents' arms, and the two of them ate happily.
Even Su Jing also ate with relish, just eating and eating......
He had a vague sense that something was wrong.
Something wrong...... From the river.
A month ago, the two had just met, Su Jing had observed, Jiangliu's deviation value was about 34 points, and he originally suspected that his deviation value was so high, could it be that he was actually an insincere villain, and his honesty and loyalty on the surface were actually disguised......
But after more than a month of getting along.
He had already determined that Jiang Liu was indeed a human being, so honest and loyal, as for why the deviation value was too high, he could only blame the possible deviation value and many secrets that he didn't know!
But right now.
Su Jing watched Jiang Liu eat somen noodles and steamed eggplants while watching himself and others feast on big fish and meat here......
His deviation value has increased from 34 points to 35 points!
Su Jing: ".........................................."
The deviation value depends on one's own mind, and only if it is strongly contrary to one's own will, will the deviation value be increased.
Su Jing never thought that he would witness the increase in the deviation value so quickly, just while eating...... Could it be ......
Su Jing suddenly felt that he seemed to have found the reason for the high deviation of the river current.
Present......
There was a piece of crystal clear elbow skin in the bowl, and he sat down on Jiang Liu's table.
But all the elbows that are made well, the essence is on the skin, and it can be said that it is fat but not greasy in the mouth, and the taste is extremely refreshing, and the big elbow skin is piled on Su Jing's bowl, which instantly attracts all the eyes of Jiang Liu, and he can't even pay attention to Su Jing.
The little monk didn't have any scheming, and he didn't know how to hide, and the desire under his eyes was completely exposed...... That is, Yu Lianzhou and others put the rules of the sect above everything, otherwise, they would not let Jiang Liu sit on the side and eat vegetarian food.
Su Jing poked his elbow with chopsticks and asked, "Little Master Jiangliu, do you want to eat?" ”
Jiang Liu hurriedly clasped his palms together and said, "Amitabha...... Master Su Shi should not laugh, poor monks can only eat fasting, not meat. ”
"But I think you want to eat it......"
Su Jing almost pointed to his nose and said that your deviation value has risen, like you can increase the deviation value a little bit if you look at a piece of meat, it rises so fast, if you don't curb it, it is estimated that you can really only be a villain in the future, how strong is your desire to eat meat?
But doesn't saying this reveal the peculiarity of being able to see the deviations of others?
Thinking about it, Su Jing sighed and glanced back, Yu Lianzhou and the others were still eating, and they didn't pay attention to this, or they might be avoiding suspicion, thinking that they and the others had something important to do!
At that moment, he put his elbow into Jiang Liu's bowl, and before he screamed in shock, he said, "Little Master Jiang Liu, answer me frankly, do you want to eat meat?" The monks don't say anything, they answer honestly......"
Jiang Liu lowered his head, was silent for a long time, and then nodded.
"Then according to your Buddhist theory, if you have desires, you have actually broken your vows and eaten meat! Although the body did not eat, the heart did...... Is there a difference? You are so obsessed with skin appearance, it is too inferior! ”
Jiang Liu suddenly raised his head in shock, looked at Su Jing and said, "Master Su Shi...... How do you know ......?"
"I also know that wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart! As long as you have the Buddha in your heart and chant the Buddha in your heart, then even if you eat meat and drink wine, you are still the little master of the river who is dedicated to the Buddha! ”
Su Jing sighed, pointed to the elbow with chopsticks, and said: "Eat, don't go against your will, as the so-called how to be born without entering the world, how to quit meat without eating meat, only after you have eaten all the delicacies in the world, can you truly be unhindered and calm as water, but it is not the calm that is disguised now, but after experiencing prosperity, you will return to the bland silence alone, and you will be at ease!" ”
"Amitabha, I can't imagine that Master Su Shi's Buddha is so profound? It makes too much sense, the little monk was too superficial and obsessed with the appearance before. ”
Jiang Liu was overjoyed, or rather...... Entering this reincarnation plane that is a crisis, the reason why the previous rules can still bind him is just because he can't find a suitable reason to break the vows, and now that Su Jing has found such a lofty reason for him, he is naturally overjoyed!
At the moment, he took the bowl and bit it directly on the elbow!
And then......
For the first time, Su Jing saw that someone showed that tearful smile because he had eaten a bite of meat.
"Original...... That's what meat tastes like...... Did the little monk miss out on so many delicacies? ”
He cried as he snatched the meat from the bowl into his stomach.
And Su Jing ......
muttered: "I'm sorry, it's really my fault for treating you as a scheming guy before, you're just a brainless little monk with gluttony...... I'm stupid to treat you like a potential enemy. ”
It's just that even though Jiang Liu ate the meat, the little deviation value that had been raised before still didn't come down.
Seemingly......
Is it only going up and not down?
Su Jingxin said that he wanted to reduce the deviation value, so he could only wait for the kind of task that could reduce the deviation value, just like he was in the peerless Shuangjiao before!
Finish a meal.
The oily river naturally attracted the attention of Yu Lianzhou and others.
Jiang Liu clasped his palms together and said: "Amitabha, several donors don't know, the wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart!" ”
Yu Lianzhou: "...................................."
Zhang Cuishan smiled dryly: "It turns out that the master is not taboo about meat, it seems that I have misunderstood." ”
Su Jing next to him was speechless, and said in his heart, can you really say that sentence as a matter of course...... It's just gluttony!
