Yan Yue and Wang Shijie confronted this group of monks, if there was a fight against the enemy, Wang Shijie would definitely rush straight up. But in this situation, he didn't pay attention to it, and he was caught by the other party, so Wang Shijie could only be speechless for a while. Yan Yue glanced at Wang Shijie a few times, and saw that he bowed his head and was silent. It seems that you can only go out on your own.

Yan Yue coughed twice, raised her voice and said loudly: "This is the pure land of Buddhism, the masters are all people who respect the Buddha, the so-called monks don't speak, may I ask the masters, who has seen this girl eat pheasant with his own eyes?" ”

Yan Yue's face was serious, and her tone was serious and stern. Although he did not deny that he ate pheasants, the meaning of this statement is obviously not to admit that he ate pheasants. All the monks looked at the leading monk together, and the leading elder monk was stunned by this question, but then continued: "Although we haven't seen you break the precepts with our own eyes, now Senior Brother Yuntian has gone to look for evidence, and he will take the chicken feathers and chicken bones to confront you, and then see what else you have to say." ”

Yan Yue had a suddenly realized expression, obviously she and this Wang Shijie were followed as soon as they left the temple gate. It's a pity that I only care about eating and forget about anything else. Are you just waiting for someone else to come with evidence? Yan Yue suddenly snorted coldly, and immediately reprimanded angrily: "This girl is a bodhisattva, I didn't want to pursue you, a monk, for abstaining from eating meat, but you planted a false accusation against this girl, and now this girl has to find you to preside over and administer justice for this girl." Wang Guard, let's go! ”

The leader was already angry, the stick was pounded, and he even stammered a little when he spoke: "You spew blood!" You are talking nonsense! When have I ever eaten meat secretly? ”

Yan Yue smiled coldly: "What if you eat meat?" If this girl says it, you will definitely beat this girl up and drive her out of this cloud-piercing temple. Presumably, this is the purpose for you to frame this girl for stealing meat. ”

For a while, all the monks were silent, and in the speechlessness of everyone, the leading monk fell to the ground with a thud, threw the stick to the side, and said loudly and angrily with the Buddha beads in his hand: "Yunkong dares to swear to the sky, he has never committed that meat precept, if he violates it, he will ask the presiding master to punish him." Now please tell the girl, when did Yunkong break the meat precept? ”

With such loud and generous words, Wang Shijie only heard his face red. And looking at his own mother, her face was still light, and Wang Shijie couldn't raise her head a little. And the monks looked at Yan Yue with a look of hatred, obviously if Yan Yue couldn't tell the evidence, these monks would really be angry. Yan Yue slowly asked in the silence of the monks, "Monk Yunkong, have you eaten the eggs laid by the pheasant at noon today?" ”

"No?" Yunkong replied loudly.

"That Yunkong monk, you didn't eat today, did you eat yesterday? Did you eat it the day before yesterday? Have you eaten it before? Yan Yue followed and asked.

"Eaten. But the host of this mountain egg said that it can be eaten. Yunkong discerned loudly. Yan Yue couldn't help laughing, when she roasted the pheasant just now, Yan Yue saw some pheasants laying eggs on the water, and Yan Yue was quite regretful at that time. Thinking that there are so many wild pheasants in the cloud mountain, if all the eggs are laid into the water, it would be a pity, but if it goes down to the cliff, these monks must have picked it up. What to pick up, of course, is to eat! I believe that it is impossible for the monk to pick up the eggs and hatch them in a small **.

"Then do you know that this egg is a meat dish?" Yan Yue asked loudly again with a face.

"This, how is this possible? The host master never said ......? The Yunkong monk looked dazed.

Yan Yue's face was disdainful, and she said eloquently: "How can eggs be vegetarian dishes, first, this egg can develop into a chicken, the chicken is meat, and of course the egg is also meat; Second, eggs belong to poultry eggs in the recipe, poultry is a meat dish, so of course eggs are also meat; The third is the distinction between meat and vegetables, which is to classify plant foods as vegetarian dishes, animal foods as meat dishes, and eggs are of course animal foods, so they are meat dishes. All in all, can you say that this mountain egg is vegetarian? ”

When the monks heard this, their faces changed greatly, if the eggs in this mountain were meat, then all the monks had violated the meat precepts. Now what reason is there to rebuke others for eating pheasants and breaking the meat precepts!

"So I can go!" Yan Yue said with a smile.

The monks involuntarily moved out of the way, and even the Yunkong monk couldn't speak. Wang Shijie only felt extremely funny, he couldn't imagine that his mother had any crooked reasoning, and he broke the precepts, and as a result, everyone else committed the precepts. This kind of ability to reverse black and white, Wang Shijie is really the first time to see it.

Yan Yue was proud in her heart, but she heard a thunderous roar from behind: "Senior Brother Yunkong, don't let them go." I've found proof. And with this shout, another monk ran over, obviously it should be the Yuntian junior disciple who went to look for evidence as the Yunkong monk in front of him said. At this moment when Yan Yue was thinking, the monk had already come to the front and said loudly: "Senior Brother Yunkong, you see, this is chicken feathers, this is chicken bones, and there are chicken internal organs here, they have indeed violated the meat precepts, and they are not allowed to enter the temple hall again." ”

"Senior brother, I, I ......" Yunkong stammered for a long time, but couldn't say a word. A monk behind him pulled Yun Tian and muttered a few words in his ear, obviously repeating what Yan Yue had just said.

"No, they must not be allowed to enter the temple. We can't hold them accountable for violating the precepts because we have violated the precepts, not to mention that we are allowed to eat eggs by the presiding master. If you are worried that we are not qualified to pursue them, then go to the host master to reason. "Monk Yuntian is obviously not as easy to fool as the monk Yunkong, even after listening to what happened just now, he still speaks eloquently.

Obviously, Monk Yuntian's words were unanimously agreed by all the monks, and the stick that had been lifted was smashed on the ground again, making a bang. Wang Shijie lamented in his heart, not every monk is so easy to fool, this time it is better to make trouble directly in front of the host. Yan Yue obviously didn't expect this Yuntian monk to say this, so she could only frown and helplessly follow the monks towards the presiding hall.

Goodbye host, Wang Shijie only blushed, although the host kept his eyes closed, but Wang Shijie still didn't dare to look up at the host. Still wearing the gray monk's robe in the morning, he still has a paralyzed expression on his face, and the Buddhist beads in his hand keep turning. And all the monks stood silently, only the Yuntian monk told the story of what had just happened.

Wang Shijie waited with a weak heart, believing that the host would ridicule his mother, but who told his mother to break the precepts first. At this time, Wang Shijie began to regret why he didn't stop Niangniang at that time, but became Niangniang's accomplice! In Wang Shijie's confession, the host had slowly spoken: "It is true that the female benefactor said that this egg is a meat dish, and the reason why the teacher did not tell you is because the teachings put forward that we can eat three pure meats, that is, we have three conditions, one is to kill without seeing the eyes, one is not killing by the ears, and the third is not to be killed by ourselves." This egg fully meets these three conditions, so it is completely edible. ”

In this way, the monks already understood, and the Yunkong monk got the words of the host at this time, and immediately had the confidence, and immediately said loudly: "The eggs we eat are completely in line with the teachings, and the pheasants eaten by the female donor are completely inconsistent, not only saw the ferocity of killing the pheasants, but also heard the wails of the pheasants dying, and also thought about killing the pheasants to satisfy their personal appetite. Such a violation of the precepts, I must not stay in the Cloud Temple. ”

Wang Shijie had an idea after hearing the host's explanation, it was better to admit the offense and let the host drive him out. It's good to let the mother get out of the predicament at this time. Therefore, as soon as the Yunkong monk's voice fell, Wang Shijie had already said loudly: "Please host Master Mingjian, Mrs. She is weak and weak, and it is difficult to walk this mountain road, how can she have the strength to catch the pheasant flying freely in the mountains?" What's more, Mrs. is a woman, how can she dare to kill chickens, she is greedy for food at the next moment, and when she collects medicine for her wife, she begs her to allow her to be greedy. If you commit a crime, you will leave the monastery and ask the presiding master not to punish the lady. ”

What Wang Shijie said is partly true, and the matter of catching chickens is indeed impossible for Yan Yue, and it is impossible for Yan Yue. And killing chickens is what Wang Shijie did. It's just that Wang Shijie was originally an accomplice, but after saying this, he became the main culprit. However, if he can take this matter for his mother, Wang Shijie will be willing. When the monks heard Wang Shijie say this, they looked at Yan Yue's weak appearance, and they all believed it for a while. There are also monks who said that they saw the knives and oil and salt that Wang Shijie took to the kitchen.

Yan Yue's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard Wang Shijie talk about collecting medicine.

The host pondered for a while, opened his eyes and stared at Wang Shijie for a long time, and his eyes quickly swept over Yan Yue, and then he said: "In this way, don't ......blame the donor" The host monk said half of his words, but was suddenly interrupted by Yan Yue's words: "The little woman has something she wants to ask the host, I don't know if the host is willing to hear about it?" ”

The host was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Madam, please speak." ”

Yan Yue said slowly: "Although the little woman respects the Dharma, she also knows that the little woman's understanding is not enough to become a disciple of the Buddha. However, the little girl often read the Buddhist scriptures when she had free time, and remembered that the Buddha seemed to have said that the monks who were ordained, bhikshunis, shikshamanas, novices, novices, novices, and other Buddha disciples at home were not allowed to eat meat and meat, as well as five kinds of spicy vegetables, such as green onions, shallots, garlic, xingqu, and shallots, otherwise, it would be a sin. But when you're sick, you can open the edge. Is the little girl right? ”

There seemed to be a smile on the presiding monk's lips, and he immediately replied: "What the female benefactor said is very true, the Buddha said that opening the edge is an exception, which means that when the doctor prescribes it, it can be used." ”

Yan Yue said slowly: "It is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that pheasant meat can be used as medicine. It has the effect of nourishing the qi, strengthening the spleen and stopping diarrhea. It is suitable for people with spleen and stomach qi deficiency and dysentery, weak body, loss of appetite and frequent urination. In the medical book "Food and Medicine", it is recorded that pheasant stew soup was used to treat thirst, scorched tongue, dry mouth and frequent urination. In addition, this pheasant meat also has the special effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach, increasing appetite, stopping diarrhea, expelling phlegm and replenishing the brain, and can treat phlegm and prevent Alzheimer's disease. And it is precisely because Wang Guard's diarrhea has not stopped these days that the little woman used this pheasant meat to cure Wang Guard's illness. ”

The monks were dumbfounded again, and Wang Shijie was shocked again, this chicken can be said to be a doctor, and it is said that it is so quoted, can this mother's ability really be said to be heavenly? Is it just that the host can believe it?

The monks were speechless in anticipation, and the host pondered for a moment again before slowly speaking: "Since this benefactor is a patient, of course the main thing is to cure the disease. However, if the donor still needs to take medicine, please leave the temple with the herbs on your body. If the donor does not need to take medicine, please throw away the herbs on your body and bathe in the fragrant soup before entering the temple. ”

Wang Shijie's face was flushed again, and he slowly took out the wrapped pheasant from his arms and sent it to the host. And the host then ordered: "Yunkong, Yuntian, you go and prepare fragrant soup now, and wait for the donor to bathe." If the female benefactor is fine, please go back. ”

Yan Yue watched as the presiding monk took away the pheasant that had been left for Murong Yan, and could only sigh helplessly. The pheasant is gone, but he was lucky to have escaped punishment!
