The little spirit mouse covered his face and said secretly in his heart: Why are you so disobedient little girl? I was deceived by this fragrance at the beginning! I didn't expect my family to be so unpalatable as the food cooked by the young monk.

Xiao Lingjue signaled the little fox not to worry, and then reached out and pulled down a small piece on the rice ball, chewing the rice ball in small bites, a trace of sadness between the eyebrows was also slowly melted by the rice ball, and the little monk's face was filled with a happy smile.

The little fox pointed to the nose of the little spirit mouse and said, "Tsk! "Are you lying to me just now, you see how delicious he eats!

The little spirit mouse could only say helplessly: "Squeak! "Then try it for yourself, and you'll know if I'm right!

"I don't believe you, I have to go to dinner." The little fox gave the little spirit mouse a roll of the eyes, and then ran to the little monk in a hurry, begging for rice balls.

"Tsk!" The little fox swallowed his tongue and asked the little monk for it, like a cute little kitten.

Xiao Lingjue didn't say anything, just took off a small piece of rice ball and handed it to the little fox.

The little fox seemed to be a little dissatisfied, as if to say: Why is the rice ball you gave me so small? I've got a lot of food!

Xiao Lingjue said softly: "Don't worry, you try first to see if you can't eat it, if you can finish eating, of course Xiao Lingjue will not be stingy, but I am afraid that the donor will waste it." ”

"Tsk!" The little fox said: Don't underestimate my amount of food, I can eat until you collapse.

Xiao Lingjue didn't believe it, when he was making rice balls, there were not only all kinds of elixirs here to supplement spiritual power, but also bitter wormwood, the scientific name of bitter wormwood is Junzi grass, and the common name is ghost sorrow! It is something that no demon will eat.

When it was still in Liuguang Temple, at that time, the wormwood only grew out of the soil, it was not big, it did not bloom, and the leaves were very tender, so the little monk collected some, so there are today's rice balls.

This thing is one by one for a long time, but not many people are willing to eat it. Because it's ......

The little fox smelled it, it was a little fragrant, and the rest was a strong medicinal fragrance, and she couldn't wait to try it.

Whew...... Woo woo...... "At the entrance of the rice ball, the little fox took two bites, and his eyes suddenly turned red!" The little fox actually let out a wolf-like roar.

Absinthe, that is, the leaves of the devil's sorrow, this leaf belongs to the low-grade elixir, and the entrance is very bitter, very bitter! Blanching with water is still bitter! The little fox only felt that he had eaten a lot of bitter herbs, and if it weren't for the gentle white fur on his face, his face would have turned green at this moment.

"Phew! Bah! Her eyes were also red, and she only felt a mouthful of bitterness, bitter bile was about to be spit out, and her big mouth was about to be spit out! The little fox quickly spit out the rice balls in his mouth, and then kept retching beside him.

The little monk showed a wry smile on his face, and then took out two spirit pine nuts from his body and gave them to the little spirit mouse and the little fox respectively.

Then I dealt with the bitter rice ball alone, bite after bite, and I didn't stop! As if he had no sense of taste, the cold snow water wiped out the bitter rice, and when he had finished eating, he looked at the two little ones in astonishment.

Puzzled, he said, "What's wrong with you two little guys?" You can't be stupid! ”

"Tsk!"

"Squeak!"

They were asking why the little monk was able to eat this bitter meal, and eat so much at once?

Xiao Lingjue said: "Amitabha, in fact, this is also a kind of practice of the little monk, the master once said: from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift difficult!" Xiao Lingjue's mind is still unstable! Food is enough to satisfy your stomach, don't be greedy! ”

Comet Neng once taught him harshly, and made a promise with him: "If you make your own meal, it will be enough to satisfy your stomach!" It's a different story if someone else gives alms! It is not allowed to be wasted, take as much as you want, and if you waste it, deduct one day's food.

There is still a faint bitter taste in Xiao Lingjue's mouth, although it is bitter, but bitterness is also a taste, eat too much, and get used to it!

The two little spirit creatures didn't dare to try again, they just gnawed on the pine nuts given by Xiao Lingjue, and ate them with relish!

After the torture of the rice ball just now, the little fox felt for the first time that this pine nut was actually such a delicious thing.

Xiao Lingjue looked at the two gobbling up little guys, and he also smiled.

Then he said with a smile: "The long night is a long night without intention!" Then I'll tell you a story before I go to bed! Especially you, little spirit mouse! Listen carefully! ”

The little spirit mouse climbed onto the shoulder of the little monk with your little madman in his arms, and then quietly waited for the little monk to tell the story.

Seeing this, the little fox also followed the example of the little spirit mouse and climbed to the other side of the little monk, on his shoulder.

Xiao Lingjue then said: "This story was told to me by my master, and he said: On dog days, the grass of the Zen Monastery withered and yellowed a large area.

"Scatter some grass seeds! It's ugly! The little monk said.

"Wait until it's cold." Master waved his hand, "Anytime!" ”

In the Mid-Autumn Festival, the master bought a bag of grass seeds and asked the little monk to sow seeds.

The autumn wind rises, and the grass seeds float while scattering. "Oh no! Many kinds of seeds were blown away. The little monk shouted.

"It doesn't matter, most of the blown away are empty, and they won't sprout if they are sprinkled." Master said, "Freely! ”

After sowing the seeds, a few birds flew in and pecked at them. "Damn! The seeds were eaten by the birds! The little monk was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.

"It doesn't matter, there are many seeds, you can't eat them all!" Master said, "Whatever happens! ”

In the middle of the night, there was a shower, and the little monk rushed into the meditation room in the morning: "Master! It's over! A lot of grass seeds were washed away by the rain! ”

"Wherever you rush, you can send it!" Master said, "Whatever happens! ”

A week has passed, and many green grass seedlings have grown on the originally bare ground, and some corners that have not been sown have also become green. The little monk clapped his hands with joy.

Master nodded: "Rejoice!" ”

Follow is not to follow, it is to go with the flow, not to complain, not to be aggressive, not to be excessive, not to force; It is not casual, it is to grasp the opportunity, not pessimistic, not rigid, not flustered, and not forgetful.

Don't fantasize that life is always so round and full, and don't fantasize about enjoying spring in the four seasons of life, everyone's life is destined to trek through ditches and bumps, taste bitterness and helplessness, and experience setbacks and frustrations. ”

The little monk summed up again: "When the fate comes, it will naturally come to cause and effect, do you two little guys have any feelings?" ”

Xiao Lingjue looked at the little guy on his shoulder suspiciously, only to realize that the two of them had fallen asleep, and then said helplessly: "Why don't you say this is me?" Cause and effect! But it's the hardest thing to figure out! That's it! Go to sleep! ”

The little monk rested on the branches and fell asleep peacefully.

It's still starry outside, and there's nothing to say all night!
