Chapter 237: Immortals and Mortals

When Murong Feng and his party came to the Lingyin Courtyard, they just happened to be in time for dinner, there were no big fish and meat here, and the table was full of vegetables. In the understanding of ordinary people, they often confuse vegetarian food with vegetarian food, thinking that vegetarian cuisine is a vegetarian dish without meat, but this is actually wrong.

Because vegetarian dishes must be vegetarian dishes, but vegetarian dishes are not necessarily all vegetarian dishes. For example, vegetarian dishes with a spicy flavor do not belong to the category of vegetarian dishes, such as sauerkraut, kimchi and spicy vegetables. Seasonings such as green onions, ginger, garlic, chili, leeks, coriander, mustard, and other pungent spices should never appear in vegetarian dishes.

Therefore, you can make vegetarian dishes with taste, but vegetarian dishes must be light.

When the girls entered the restaurant, they found several grandmothers sitting on the table. is smiling and chatting around her grandmother, and her grandmother is holding a small cat with a black and white cirrus pattern in her arms. Who else could it be if it wasn't Brother Tai?

If there are outsiders, it is natural to have a recommendation. Murong Feng greeted each other with a smile as usual, behaved elegantly and decently, and greeted them one by one. Then take a seat and eat.

"At noon, I just had a big meal of fish and meat outside the building, and I came to a table of vegetarian dishes in the evening to relieve the oiliness." Mu Xue chuckled in Murong Feng's ear. Xiao Xiang'er, who was sitting on the other side, was still in a daze, sleepy-eyed and went to clip a piece of mushroom, but she didn't clip it for a long time. Murong Feng picked up a piece of pineapple for her and put it in the bowl, then turned around and whispered, "These vegetarian dishes are all real vegetarian dishes." When making it, it is seldom salted or even not salted. You can't swallow it in your mouth, so don't blame me for not warning you beforehand. ”

"How is that possible?! Have you never eaten fasting before? Mu Xue didn't believe in evil, so she took a piece of shiitake mushrooms and put it directly in her mouth to chew, and her face suddenly turned green. Look at the surrounding group of old ladies eating with relish. There are also those who talk and laugh. The girl's whole face was about to be twisted together for a while.

"Don't spit it out in public!" Murong Feng didn't open his mouth. Directly to the girl next to her. And she herself picked up a piece of cold cucumber strips, put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully, and swallowed it slowly. Cucumbers are vegetables that can be eaten as fruits, and they can be eaten raw when the skin is removed, so you can eat them without any seasonings. As for the shiitake mushroom, try eating a mushroom that has only been blanched in boiling water to know what it tastes like

(Friendly reminder: Eat mushrooms must be cooked, remember not to eat raw!) )

Mu Xue had shiitake mushrooms in her mouth, but she couldn't spit it out, and she didn't swallow it. In a hurry, her little face turned red. Stared at Murong Feng with an aggrieved expression. Murong Feng shook his head and chuckled, "If you can't swallow it, can't you just take a sip of soup before eating?" ”

Mu Xue's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hurriedly picked up the spoon and scooped a mouthful of soup and ate it. Then I breathed a sigh of relief. Next, she can learn to be obedient, and when she sees Murong Feng, she will follow what she wants. And the dishes that Murong Feng has the most chopsticks on are nothing more than tofu, bean sprouts, cucumbers, tomatoes and fruits. It's also light, but at least you can chew it.

When the banquet was over, Mu Xue was only half full, but fortunately, she ate a little bit at noon. It's okay to eat less at night. After taking a bath, a few people fell asleep early.

Until the middle of the moon, a shadow floated out of the courtyard and went straight to the top of Feilai Peak.

Feilai Peak, also known as Vulture Peak. The mountain is 168 meters high. The mountain is made of limestone. Due to the long-term dissolution of groundwater, many fantastic and changeable caves have been formed in the mountain. Such as Longhong Cave, Jade Milk Cave, Shexu Cave, Hu Ape Cave, etc., the cave has a history, very legendary. The strange stones of the hall rock that fly to the peak, such as the dragon, such as the running elephant, such as the crouching tiger, such as the startled ape, seem to be a stone zoo. The old trees and vines on the mountain are intertwined; The rock bones are exposed, and the peaks are sharpened. Ming Yuan Dao once said: "The peaks on the lake should be the first to fly." According to previous records, there were 72 holes in the past, but most of them have disappeared due to their age. The few remaining holes are mostly concentrated on the southeast side of Feilai Peak.

And there is a strange stone on the top of the mountain, and it is rumored that this strange stone flew by itself, so there is a saying that it flies to the peak. Of course, this is just one of the many legends that come from the name of the mountain.

Murong Feng climbed to the top of the mountain and came to the foot of the strange stone. Looking up at the strange stones under the moon, I didn't find anything peculiar. There was a small pavilion next to it, and Murong Feng couldn't see any way to this strange stone, so he turned around and entered the small pavilion.

Late autumn nights are cold, especially on the top of the mountain. The wind blew even more to the bone. However, Murong Feng was no different, meditating and pranayama for a while, then opened his eyes and looked at the mountain road from afar. for the Lord is coming.

I saw that on the hazy moonlit mountain road, a gray and green monk's robe loomed. It wasn't until I got closer that I realized that it was a monk. A very ordinary monk, without any of the characteristics of the fairy wind bones or strange people in the novel. is a very ordinary old monk.

Of course, Murong Feng would never regard this as an ordinary person, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Junior Murong Feng pays a visit to the monk. ”

The old monk nodded with a smile and said, "Lord Murong, the old monk's name is Fahai, just an ordinary old monk, and he can't afford to be called a monk." ”

Murong Feng looked stunned, not because of the old monk's modesty, but because his Dharma name was too thunderous.

The old monk also saw Murong Feng's surprise, so he explained with a smile, "Although Lao Gao's legal name is also called Fahai, he is not the one in the legend of the White Snake. After all, the old man is just a mortal, but he can't live that long, hahaha. ”

Murong Feng smiled awkwardly, even called it rude, and then invited the old monk into the pavilion to talk. The two entered the pavilion and sat opposite each other, and the old monk first spoke: "The old donor has a three-point Buddha nature, why does the donor say that he is a person from the outside world?" ”

Murong Feng said frankly: "The younger generation is taking the Shura Dao. ”

The old monk suddenly nodded and said, "No wonder, no wonder." ”

Talking to a master is to save effort, and Murong Feng explained it clearly in one sentence. Buddhism advocates the cultivation of the afterlife, so it has a very deep study of the six realms of reincarnation.

The six realms are: the Heavenly Dao, the Shura Dao, the Human Dao, the Animal Dao, the Hungry Ghost Dao, and the Hell Dao. Among them, the Heavenly Path, the Asura Path, and the Humanity are divided into the Three Good Paths. The Animal Dao, the Hungry Ghost Dao, and the Hell Dao are divided into the Three Evil Realms.

If Murong Feng dared to say that he was cultivating the Three Evil Dao, then the old monk would definitely turn his face immediately and then eliminate the Demon Guardian Dao.

And the path of assura belongs to one of the three good paths. It has a deep connection with Buddhism. In Buddhism, there are eight heavenly dragons. It is also known as the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon, the Eight Divisions of the Dragon God, and the Eight Divisions. These nouns are derived from Buddhist scriptures. When many Mahayana sutras narrate the Buddha's teachings to the bodhisattvas and monks, the eight divisions of the Heavenly Dragon often participate in listening to the Dharma. The Eight Heavenly Dragons include eight Shinto monsters, and because the "Celestial Beings" and "Dragon Beings" are the most important, they are called the "Tenryu Babu". The Eight Divisions, the One Day Crowd, the Two Naga Groups, the Three Yakshas, the Four Gandharvas, the Five Asuras, the Six Garudas, and the Seven Kinaras. Hamadhu Raja.

And several of them are assuras who came from the path of asura.

Therefore, in a sense, if Murong Feng is willing to convert to Buddhism in the future, he will become one of the eight heavenly dragons of Buddhism.

Therefore, the old monk's eyes when he looked at Murong Feng were a little more cordial. Obviously, he hoped that Murong Feng would be able to convert to Buddhism immediately, and then become the new protector of Buddhism, and also become his successor.

It's a pity that Murong Fengchen's fate is not finished, and the old monk is destined to be disappointed.

Next, the old monk wanted to exchange Buddhist scriptures, laws, and treatises with Murong Feng, so as to enlighten Murong Feng. But it's a pity that Murong Feng is obsessed with swordsmanship, and he just wants to ask his predecessors for advice on his spiritual insights. The old monk was quite helpless in his heart, but in line with the purpose of forming a good fate, he guided Murong Feng wholeheartedly, which was naturally mixed with many Buddhist scriptures. In this way, I hope to be able to plant a Buddha nature in Murong Feng's heart.

But it's a pity that no matter how miraculous the old monk Ren is, he can't count Murong Feng as a human being in two lives. It's not like a deep boudoir girl who seems to be involved in the world on the surface. Therefore, no matter how the old monk said the Buddhist scriptures, he could not shake Murong Feng's Dao heart by half a point.

On the contrary, Murong Feng gained a lot of benefits from the old monk's cultivation perception. Breaking through many previous mental obstacles, her state of mind cultivation has been further improved.

One old and one young, a long talk under the moon. It wasn't until the moonlight set in the west that the old monk said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he only left a sentence for Murong Feng: "The donor has a relationship with my Buddha." Then he walked away.

Murong Feng's obsession with the old monk could only smile bitterly. Then she stood in the pavilion and watched the moon with her hands, and a long skirt swayed in the cold wind, setting off her like a fairy in the dust.

"What is the girl thinking?" Brother Tai appeared out of thin air, landed beside Murong Feng, lowered his head and asked curiously.

Murong Feng said softly, "Brother Tai, do you say that immortals can really transcend reincarnation and enjoy heaven and earth?" ”

Brother Tai pouted and said, "Girl, you see the world of immortals too beautifully." In my opinion, being an immortal is not as comfortable as being a mortal. ”

"Oh? What does this mean? Mortals want to be immortals because they can live forever. Why is it that when it comes to your mouth, it becomes a god and not a mortal? Murong Feng said in slight surprise.

"Immortality?" Brother Tai sneered: "Girl, do you think that immortality is really a kind of happiness?" Immortality is actually the greatest curse in heaven and earth. Because without the washing of reincarnation, the immortal soul will live forever in the world, and the long years will only produce one result, the loss of desire. Hope! And the loss of desire. What is the difference between the gods and the stubborn stones? So the immortals are very realistic, they only pursue the obsession in their hearts, just to maintain endless desires. Hope. And only then will it not turn into a stone. But desire. Hope is a terrible thing! Mortals because of their own limited abilities, even if they want. No matter how big you are, you won't be desired. Hope devours itself. But the immortals are different, once the immortals are their own desires. If you are devoured, you will become a demon. Turned into a completely lustful. Look at the monsters you drive! ”

"Oh? Listen to what you say, it's safe to be a mortal! Murong Feng sighed.

"That's nature." Brother Tai jumped on Murong Feng's shoulder and shook his tail.

"What about you, Brother Tai?" Murong Feng suddenly asked again, "You are also an immortal, why can't I see desire from you. What about hope? Well, except for gluttony! ”

Brother Tai jumped onto the railing of the pavilion, looked back and said with a smile, "Because this king is the most ferocious, terrifying, and powerful holy beast in the universe. O embodiment of hope! I want to. Hope, desire. Hope is mine. Under the way of heaven, only saints can be compared with this king! ”

Brother Tai's words were extremely domineering, and Murong Feng stared at it deeply, and sighed after a long time.

"Brother Tai, you ...... It seems to have gained weight again recently! It's time to lose weight! And the next time you go out to steal fish, remember to brush your teeth afterwards, there is still shredded meat stuffed between your teeth! (To be continued......)
