Volume 7 The Shadow of the Beast_Chapter 425 Dining and Listening to the Scriptures
I got out of bed, took a few deep breaths, and felt refreshed, and the tiredness of yesterday was swept away.
Fat Dahai heard the movement and climbed out of bed as well.
At this time, the sound of the bell I heard continued to be heard, and it was endless.
I listened for a while and asked, "Strange, this bell sound seems to be unique to the temple, and we didn't see a temple when we came?" ”
Fat Dahai didn't think so, but held his stomach: "Boss, don't worry about that, take care of your stomach, you're hungry." ”
I gave him a blank look: "I'm hungry and have a fart, and I don't have anything to eat, so you go to your master." ”
"Don't look for it, I'm here." Before the fat man could answer, the thin bamboo pole Chu Liuyan slowly walked in from the outside.
After Chu Liuyan came in, the fat man immediately changed his appearance and said to Chu Liuyan: "Master, when will we start learning Taoism?" I'm all set. ”
I scolded: "Grass, you can behave, isn't it time to hold your stomach and shout hungry just now?" ”
The fat man glanced at me: "Learn Taoism from Master, what's wrong with being hungry twice?" Boss, are you still a little self-motivated? ”
"Oh, you dead fat man......"
Chu Liuyan waved his hand: "Don't make trouble between the two of you, don't be in a hurry to learn Taoism first, you have to fill your stomach first." I've prepared breakfast for you to taste the fresh ingredients from the mountains. ”
After speaking, Chu Liuyan turned around and left the bamboo house.
I nodded: "I'll just say that Uncle Shi can't treat us badly, don't let us bring food, here is delicious......"
While talking, we followed Chu Liuyan to the courtyard.
There is a set of stone tables and stone benches in the courtyard, which is said to be a stone table and stone bench, but in fact it is the kind of original stone that has not been carved, and the table top of the stone table is simply polished into a plane, and the stone bench is a few stones shaped like a stool. But it looks like it has a quaint and natural charm.
On the stone table, there are a few small dishes and a pot of porridge.
When the fat man saw those foods, he was a little stupid and asked Chu Liuyan: "Master, where is the staple food, I'll go get it." ”
Chu Liuyan pointed to the bowl of porridge: "This is the staple food." ”
I walked over and scooped a spoonful of porridge with a spoon, and several grains of rice were clearly visible in it.
I asked Chu Liuyan with a bitter face: "Uncle Shi, don't you have enough money to pay for food?" If I'm short of money, I'll bring it. Is this porridge? What's the difference with Qing Shui, you can see a human figure. ”
Chu Liuyan glared: "Don't talk nonsense, you are here to learn Taoism, not to recuperate." That's it, do you like to eat or not? ”
I shuddered: "Eat it, eat it, what are you yelling about?" ”
I sat down to drink porridge, but I didn't expect Chu Liuyan to stop us again: "Wait, it's not time." You two stand up. ”
Chu Liuyan asked me to stand with Fat Dahai in a regular manner, facing one direction.
Judging by the rising sun in the east, we should be facing the direction of Namsan Mountain.
We had just stood up when the sound of the bell ran out one after another, and the sound of chanting scriptures came over.
The sound of chanting and the sound of bells are intertwined, and with the nearby mountains, they create a fresh and elegant atmosphere.
Chu Liuyan said to us, "You two
Every day before breakfast, listen to a scripture passage. When listening to the scriptures, you should concentrate and calm your mind, expel the distracting thoughts in your mind, empty your body, and feel the sound of chanting with your heart......"
I secretly complained to myself, just a meal, and so many links.
According to my speculation, not far from the direction of Namsan Mountain, there should be a temple. The sound of the bell and the scriptures must have come from the temple. It seems that Chu Liuyan also has a purpose in arranging the place where we learn Taoism here.
It's just that because of the distance, the sound of chanting spreads through the air and then reaches our ears, so we can't hear what is being recited. I just felt like a group of people were muttering the scriptures.
This large section of scripture was read for more than half an hour, and Fat Dahai and I were drowsy listening to it. Chu Liuyan stood next to him and didn't interrupt us.
Finally, I heard that the scripture gradually stopped, and the sound of the bell became weak.
Chu Liuyan finally spoke: "Eat." ”
Fat Dahai and I were amnesty, and hurriedly sat down, drank porridge and ate side dishes.
I thought those side dishes were pickled vegetables, but who knew that after entering the mouth, I found that they were green vegetables boiled in white water, which not only tasted tasteless, but also had thick fibers and was even more difficult to swallow.
I was about to cry, and complained to Chu Liuyan: "Uncle Shi, are we here to remember the bittersweet thoughts?" What kind of food is this? ”
"These are all wild vegetables in the mountains, rich in nutrients, green food, no pollution and no additives. If you don't eat it, if you don't eat it, I'll pour it. ”
Chu Liuyan also sat down and ate with us, and it was really incomprehensible to see how much he ate.
This meal, the fat man and I only ate a little bit and couldn't swallow it. Chu Liuyan didn't force us, and ate all the remaining porridge and vegetables by himself.
After eating, we thought we were going to start learning Taoism, but who knew that Chu Liuyan threw us a few books for us to read for ourselves.
I thought it was a book on Taoism, but let's learn it on our own first.
But when I got my hands on it, I found that it was actually a few scriptures. The Diamond Sutra, the Lengyan Sutra, the Myoho-renge-kyo Sutra, the Jizo Sutra, and so on are thin and thick.
The third uncle threw down the book and left, and Fat Dahai and I were a little helpless with big eyes and small eyes.
I said to the fat man with a bitter face: "Your master is going to train us two to be monks." ”
The fat man asked, "Didn't Master learn the Tao?" These are all sutras, right? ”
"You ask me, who do I ask? Who knows what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd? ”
The fat man frowned and thought for a while, and said firmly: "Master let me see, then look, Master must have his reason." ”
I waved my hand: "Grass, you are obedient." ”
At this time, Chu Liuyan's voice came from outside the window: "Li Yangkou foul words, punish lunch once." ”
"Huh?" I glanced at the fat man, who shrugged his shoulders and looked helpless.
I was very unconvinced, I didn't teach Taoism well, but I changed the way to torture us. That broken meal, don't eat it.
But soon I changed my mind, and the little soup I ate in the morning was too little water, and I was hungry.
Both of our mobile phones were also taken away by Chu Liuyan, and we were both restricted from going out, so we were bored and could only be hungry
Holding the scriptures in his stomach and reading them.
I finally stayed up until noon, and Chu Liuyan came to ask the fat man to go out to eat, but he punished me for being hungry.
The fat man said to me embarrassedly, "I'm sorry boss, I'm so hungry, I'm going to eat." I guess breakfast is light, lunch will definitely be good. ”
The fat man hurriedly ran out to eat, and I continued to read the Buddhist scriptures in the house in anger.
