Lin Ruo and Murong Chong understood, Lin Ruo instructed Zhu Xuan to pick up a weighty brocade box, and the master and servant walked out of the car one after the other.

A short and fat man in a blue-gray cotton robe, seeing Murong Chong and Lin Ruo coming in, slowly stepped forward and said slowly: "The two are extraordinarily dressed, they should be the young master and young lady of the Wang family, right?" ”

"Yes. Steward Lao Zhu is here to greet you. Lin Ruo bowed slightly, and his tone was extremely polite to the steward Zhu Yu.

"Don't dare, don't dare. It's windy outside, Young Master Wang, Miss Wang, please inside. ”

Zhu Yu squirmed his fat body lazily, and made a "please" gesture not very respectfully. Lin Ruo didn't mind, secretly pulled Murong Chong's sleeve, and entered the Zen courtyard together.

Respectfully offering three incense sticks in the main hall, Zhu Yu led Lin Ruo and Murong to the side hall, where a monk in a yellow-brown robe calmly and reverently coiled the Buddhist beads in his hand, and kept reciting the scriptures in his mouth.

"Senior Brother Shengyan, it's been a long time."

Senior Brother Shengyan in the Mingfeng Zen Monastery is a very interesting person.

Murong Chong recalled what Lin Ruo said in the carriage, looked at the monk in front of him, and couldn't detect the meaning of "interesting" no matter how he looked at it.

The hand holding the Buddha beads stopped, and there was no joy or anger in the eyes of the pure heart and few desires, and he calmly got up and returned the salute: "Farewell to Jinling, it has been a few years, is the donor okay?" ”

"The abbot of Tuo Huiwu and the senior brother of the province Yan pray for blessings and chant scriptures, and there are few diseases." After that, he beckoned to Zhu Xuan, took the brocade box in her hand, and respectfully handed it to the monk of Shengyan, "These three grains of rice and gold (1) show your mood." ”

When the lid of the box was opened, the rice grains of gold shone with a golden luster.

Murong Chong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help frowning.

Buddhism regards "greed, hatred, and ignorance" as the root of the three evils, believing that these three poisons harm the body and mind, causing people to sink into the cycle of life and death, which is actually the source of all evil. Lin Ruo's move, wouldn't it be a taboo for Buddhism?

Looking at the monk of Shengyan again, there was no sadness or joy in his eyes, no anger or anger, and no greed, he still looked pure and had few desires, and said a Buddha name, and let Zhu Yu accept the three grains of rice gold: "Life has its own stand, blessing is sought by itself, there is no way for blessing and blessing, but people recruit themselves." The donor has few delusions in his heart, and has already seen through many worldly red dusts, and even the poor monks feel it from time to time. It's just that the donor is tied to the word 'love', and the poor monk's cultivation is still shallow, so he can't solve the puzzle for the donor, and he is really ashamed. ”

"Senior Brother Provincial Yan is too modest. Three years ago, Senior Brother Shengyan, you invited yourself to this barren land to pray for the blessing of the little girl, and this kindness has been immeasurable. As for my trapped heart," Lin Ruo smiled helplessly, "I'm just an ordinary person, trapped between appearances and bounded by yin and yang qi. Thanks to the abbot of Obscurity, I was instructed to 'work hard and tirelessly', which made me feel a lot more comfortable. ”

"Amitabha, Buddhism never saves people, but only clears the clouds and sees the sun for people who are in trouble. People can only live by themselves, and they cannot reach the other side. ”

Lin Ruo smiled knowingly: "What Senior Brother said is very true, and I have been taught." ”

Provincial Yan said another Buddha name, then returned to his position and continued to chant the beads. Lin Ruo didn't bother much, and quietly withdrew from the side hall.

"Miss Wang, this is something that Master Sheng Yan prepared a few months ago, and he has been offering in front of the Buddha. Since Miss Wang came in person, it was handed over to Miss Wang to ensure her safety. Zhu Yu presented a yellow cloth bag with red silk in both hands.

Lin Ruo took it carefully: "Thank you." On the first day of the first lunar month, I will order someone to send three buckets and three liters of rice gold, and there is Lao Zhu in charge of bothering. ”

The young lady was serious. Mingsha Mountain is cold, please take care of the young master and young lady, Lao Zhu will accompany Master Xingyan here to pray for the master, young master and young lady. Zhu Yu folded his hands and saluted respectfully.

"I'm tired."

After instructing the coachman to go to Huxi, Lin Ruo chatted with Murong Chong about the monk of Xingyan, and Murong Chongguo said the doubts in his heart without exception: "You said that this master of Xingyan is an interesting person, just because he accepted your gold?" ”

"Isn't that interesting?" Lin Ruo blinked and cross-examined.

Murong Chong thought about the conversation between Monk Shengyan and Lin Ruo in the side hall, and hooked the corners of his mouth: "It's very interesting." In his eyes, this box of valuable gold is really like an ordinary grain of rice, worthy of being a master disciple of the obscure abbot, and can be called a monk who truly achieves the 'emptiness of the five aggregates'. ”

"Senior Brother Shengyan's Dharma cultivation is extremely high, and it is not an exaggeration for the fourth brother to call him a high-ranking monk, but," Lin Ruo sold a pass, as if remembering something interesting, and snickered for a while before continuing, "Originally, Senior Brother Shengyan was not so open-minded, I remember the first time I followed my uncle and Master Wang to Cumulus Temple, he was still fighting with the uncle in the temple. ”

"Oh? And such things? Murong Chong suddenly became interested, he really couldn't imagine that the provincial monk who looked like an ascetic monk with a pure heart and few desires would actually have a time when he would fight with others.

Cumulus Temple is the most prosperous temple in Jinling, Jinling is a rich place, officials and gentry will go to the temple to pray for blessings, naturally there are many poor women and children in front of the Buddha to pray for the Buddha to bless them. Senior Brother Xingyan was confused because of this matter, and felt that the disciples of Buddhism were not really so universal to all sentient beings, but instead focused on incense and tribute, pro-power and wealth, and far sentient beings. ”

Lin Ruo's thoughts went back to the scene five years ago, when she followed Lin Qian to Cumulus Temple to make incense. At that time, the Wang family, that is, the Lin family, was already one of the richest families in Jinling, but the Wang family has always been low-key and introverted, and outsiders only know that the Wang family is a wealthy businessman, but they do not know the specific details.

When ten-year-old Lin Ruo came out of the wing room, after hearing the argument between the monk of Xingyan and his uncle, he couldn't help but chuckle, causing the two bald heads, one old and one young, to look at her.

"Passed down from generation to generation with white hands, future generations should starve to death!"

Retracting his thoughts, Lin Ruoyun said such a sentence lightly, and said lightly to Murong Chong's puzzled and surprised gaze: "When I finished saying this, Senior Brother Shengyan's reaction was the same as that of you, Fourth Brother. However, Master Obscure smiled approvingly at me. ”

"Why is that?"

Lin Ruoqian smiled and explained: "Fourth brother, have you ever heard a word? 'Mercy brings evil, and facilitates obscenity. ’”

Murong Chong frowned and shook his head: "I've never heard of it." What does this mean? ”

"Buddhist scriptures often mention the 'three good roots', that is, no greed, no hatred, no ignorance. And the 'three ungood roots' are just the opposite, that is, the three thoughts of greed, hatred, and ignorance. However, the so-called 'three unwholesome roots' are nothing more than people's hearts trapped by karmic obstacles. If you don't pay any price, just hug the Buddha's feet, and cry for a while with tears in your eyes, you can have smooth sailing, no illness and no disaster, what kind of consequences does the fourth brother think? ”

Note: (1) According to the ancient measurement, 1 bucket = 10 liters, 1 liter = 10 hu. According to modern calculation methods, 1 grain of rice gold weighs about 1.22 kilograms, about 24 taels.
