Volume 2: Chapter 40 of the Hundred Generations of Practice
The clouds were thick and it was going to rain.
Liufeng and the red fox walked slowly, and the raindrops fell down.
Red Fox said: "It's raining! ”
Liufeng said, "Hmm. ”
Raindrops fell from the sky, white mist rose from the ground, and everything in the world became hazy.
Listen carefully, in addition to the rustling of rain, there is also the sound of the wind, and the footsteps of pedestrians.
"When a person's face is dirty, wash it with water. When it's raining, do you want to wash away something? Red Fox asked.
Misty raindrops fell on the red fox's hair, and the red fox turned into a shiny white fox!
"You'll find out in a moment."
The rain continued to fall, and people hurried in the rain.
There are fewer and fewer people on the streets.
In the end, only Liufeng and Red Fox remained on the entire street.
"It's to wash away people who are afraid of rain." "Let those who stay in the rain enjoy the rain alone." ”
"Is it a scenery when it rains?"
The white mist filled, and the things that were a little further away were only a rough outline.
The red fox looked up at the sky, and the raindrops looked like thin lines, some of which fell on the tip of the red fox's nose, and some fell into the eyes of the red fox......
Not long after leaving, a voice shouted behind him: "Little monk! Little monk! ”
Liufeng looked back and saw a chubby woman with a warm smile on her face.
"What's the matter with the donor?" Stay in the wind and salute.
"Why are you in a hurry when it's raining?"
"Because it's a long way to go." Leave the wind back.
"Come to my house to take shelter from the rain, and wait for the rain to stop before leaving." The woman pointed into the house.
"No need." Liufeng saluted, "The little monk still has to hurry." ”
"Well," thought the woman, "...... something." ”
Liufeng stood and waited in the rain, and saw the woman turn and go into the house.
Soon, the woman took out a slightly worn hat and walked up to Liufeng in the rain.
"This is what my brother used, and now there is a new one, and I have been idle for a long time. It's also a waste to put it at home, so you can take it to cover the rain first......"
The woman put the hat into Liufeng's bosom and ran back into the house.
"Thank you." Stay in the wind and salute.
Liufeng put the hat on his head, and the red fox lay on his shoulder, which happened to be enjoyable.
A man and a fox walked into a mountain forest. The mountains and forests are a little cold, it is raining, the mountain wind passes through the forests, and the temperature is much lower than outside.
Red Fox said: "Monk, are you cold?" ”
Liufeng said: "Cold." ”
"Hahahaha!" The red fox actually laughed, "I'm not cold! ”
Liufeng smiled: "If you are not cold, you are not cold, what is so funny." ”
"Any idea why I'm not cold?"
"Why?" Liufeng asked with a smile.
"Because I'm hairy!" The red fox laughed again.
"Not long ago you said that my hair is useless, and you want to shave me! How's that, now you know, my hair is very useful! ”
“……”
The red fox was proud for a long time.
After a while, the red fox asked again, "Monk, are you cold?" ”
"Cold."
"I'm not cold! Hahahaha! ”
"Do you know why?"
“……”
"I've got hair! If you have hair, it's not cold! Hahahaha! ”
Liufeng touched his bare head and said, "What's the big deal about this!" I've had that too. ”
There must have been, right?
Liufeng is actually not sure, he has been a bald monk for as long as he can remember...... But who knows if he had hair before he could remember?
After a long time, this endless mountain has not been walked.
The red fox was a little sleepy, so she yawned on Liufeng's shoulder.
"Is it cold?" The wind opened its mouth, raising a puff of white mist.
"It's not ......cold," the red fox shook his head, "I have hair!" Hahaha! ”
Then the red fox said again: "Are you cold?" You're wearing a thin dress......"
"Cold." Monk Dao.
The red fox said, "I can get hot!" ”
The red fox cast a demon spell, and the hair on his body became even redder, and white smoke came out of Liufeng's shoulder.
"Is it still cold?"
"Hot."
"......" Red Fox collected his mana, "I learned this from my father!" My dad can have a fire on his body! ”
"Huh?" Liufeng thought for a moment, "Won't it burn its own hair like that?" ”
"I don't know, I'll ask him ...... next time we meet," and then Red Fox said again, "When will we meet again?" ”
The rain stopped, and the wind finally walked out of the mountain.
He took off his hat and hung it on the last tree.
"Someone else gave you a hat, and you lost it like this?"
"No, it's just going to the next person who needs it."
"What if it rains again?"
"If you can hide, you can hide, if you can't, you will be drenched...... It's just a rain. ”
It was already dark, and Liufeng found an old temple that had been idle for a long time.
The shrine is dedicated to the golden body of the Buddha. There were a few incense sticks on the ground, which had not yet burned out, and had many cobwebs.
As soon as Liufeng's mind moved, flames erupted from his fingers. With a slight flick, the small flame fell on the wick of the candle, and the candle began to burn slowly.
But the red fox looked at it on his stomach on the ground for a long time, and reached out to extinguish the flames.
"Little fox, this is disrespectful to the Buddha!" Leave the air duct.
"There is a house of spiders on the candle, and the Buddha is unwilling to exchange other people's homes for this little incense." The red fox has a heartbeat.
Liufeng thought for a while: "Makes sense. ”
After staying in this temple all night, the red fox had not woken up at dawn. So Liufeng got up alone and went to the market.
There were already quite a few people at the bazaar.
Liufeng asked for some steamed buns, ready to take them back to the red fox for breakfast.
"Little monk." A voice shouted.
Look back.
It was a young woman in a long blue dress.
Liufeng smiled: "What's the matter with the donor?" ”
The woman in blue took out a string of sugar gourds from behind her and handed it to Liufeng: "This is for you." ”
Liufeng took it and said, "Thank you." ”
The woman in blue smiled again: "Does the monk still like to eat sugar gourds?" ”
"There are companions who love to eat." Leave the air duct.
"Companion?" The woman in blue had a strange expression, "Have you found a companion?" ”
"The poor monk still has to hurry, thank the donor for the sugar gourd." Liufeng grinned.
"Where are you going?"
"West Heaven."
"What are you going to do?"
"Find something."
"What's that?"
"Something that only a monk knows." Liufeng smiled.
"Not necessarily." The woman in blue had a smile in her eyes.
"That donor, have you ever heard of the West Heaven Buddha's heart."
"Nope."
"Isn't that all there is to it?" Leave the air duct.
"I have heard everything that is in the world." The woman in blue and Liufeng looked at each other.
"And that's an exception?"
"Nope." The woman in blue smiled, "There is no such thing in the world. ”
Liufeng's heart tightened, but he quickly thought again: "She's just a mortal. ”
"Not only does the Buddha have no heart, but there is also no Western Heaven in this world." The woman in blue said.
Liufeng looked at her in some surprise, and she said again, "You know what? The world is actually a giant ball floating in the air! ”
Liufeng shook his head.
"When you choose a direction and keep walking, one day, you'll be back to where you started."
"How so?" Liufeng shook his head, "How can there be no West Heaven?" ”
Senior Brother Chang Ming just wanted him to go to the West Heaven to find the Buddha's heart, how could there be no West Heaven in the world, how could there be no Buddha heart?
Liufeng thought again: "It's just a mortal's nonsense, why should I take it to heart." ”
"Chang Ming wants you to go west, but he never tells you how long it will take to go west before it is the west sky."
When she said Senior Brother Chang Ming's name, Liufeng's whole person froze in place like an electric shock.
"He asked you to find the Buddha heart, but he didn't tell you what the Buddha heart is and how to bring it back."
"If he didn't tell you, let me tell you." The woman in blue said.
"Go west, and at the end of your life, it will be the western sky."
"Practicing all the way and achieving positive results is the Buddha's heart."
Liufeng was stunned in place for a long time.
"Senior brother, do you mean that I will never go back to Kuhai Temple?" Leave the air duct.
"Not necessarily." The woman in blue said, "Didn't I say that? As long as you stay in the same direction, one day, you will return to the starting point. ”
"Kuhai Temple?"
"But do they want you to go back? Continue with this fruitless task, or go back there. The woman in blue said.
Liufeng thought for a while: "Let's go to the west sky." ”
"Why?"
"I'm back now, what can I do?" "It's better to go west, to the end of my life, and find my Buddha heart." ”
.......
"When did you buy the sugar gourd? How I don't know. The red fox turned into a girl in red and gnawed gracefully.
"Ah, it was given to me by a female benefactor. Prettier than you. ”
Liufeng gave the sugar gourd to the red fox who was sulking, but unexpectedly made her even more angry.
The red fox asked the monk, "Are you not leaving when you get to the west sky?" ”
Isn't the West Heaven the end of his life? How can you leave when you're dead?
So he left the wind and said: "I guess I can't move casually when the time comes......"
