Chapter 511: Female Disciple (Third Watch)
I don't know what Ji Wushuang thinks, since he traveled with these people, he was not in such a hurry, let the camel move slowly and go all the way to the west.
In order to take care of the two women behind him who don't know martial arts, the speed of those people is not fast.
The one who talked the most on the way was the little girl named Kitten, who chattered all the way, asking this and that from time to time.
After a while, he asked Ji Wushuang if he had such a long beard and whether he was holding his grandson, and for a while, he asked Huo Yuanzhen if his bald head was so bright, and he suddenly went into the darkness if he would be bright for a while by the light of the sun.
Ji Wushuang can often talk to this girl for a while, but Huo Yuanzhen is not in such a good mood, whether it is to meet the old man of Tianji or to find Dongfang Qing, it is not a thing that can make people feel happy.
The kitten's question can still be vague, but if that beautiful woman says, Huo Yuanzhen can't help but answer.
"I wonder where the master came from?"
"Coming from the Tang Dynasty in the East. ”
Now that Hexi is already Great Xia, Huo Yuanzhen is not too much to say, but obviously this woman is not satisfied with Huo Yuanzhen's answer, and continued: "Although the little woman has lived in the northwest for a long time, the Tang Dynasty in the northwest is originally a family, and she used to go to the Central Plains often, and she saw that the master's appearance and conversation were all good, presumably it was not a small temple without a door, I don't know which Buddhist temple it was?
"The female benefactor praised, the poor monk is really a monk of a small temple, and he has only a little fame in the last two years, if he says it in the first two years, he must have never heard of the female benefactor, and the poor monk is the abbot in that small temple, and the abbot at such an age can also imagine the situation of our temple. ”
Huo Yuanzhen said a few words vaguely, but still did not say the name of the temple, in this northwest region, the Falling Flower God Sect is in charge, and the dead wood monk also escaped back, presumably he will not say anything good about Shaolin. It's better to hide the ugliness than to hide it, or not to say it.
He didn't say anything, and the woman didn't ask in detail, but bowed down again: "It turned out to be the abbot master, the little woman is really disrespectful." ”
Regardless of the big temple or small temple, the name of the abbot is still very bluffing, and the woman's reaction is normal.
The woman continued: "Since she is the abbot master, then the little woman really can't see through something. Please let the master give me advice. ”
"But it's okay for the female donor to speak. I don't dare to teach. ”
"Since the Buddha said that all beings are equal, why don't you accept female disciples?"
Huo Yuanzhen was stunned for a moment when he heard this woman's words.
It can be said that this woman's question is quite acute. The Buddha is right to say that all beings are equal, but in fact, many Buddhist monasteries do not have female disciples at all. It's even common to not even stay overnight with women.
Many people are used to it, but few people ask why.
Because women are monks, they can choose nunnery, and basically do not go to the monk's temple to become monks.
But in the eyes of many people, Buddhism does not accept female disciples.
However, Huo Yuanzhen has not studied this question, and now he is not embarrassed to answer, and said: "The female benefactor is wrong, the Buddha treats men and women equally. In the eyes of the Buddha, all beings are equal, and even if you are a human being or a god, in the eyes of the Buddha, your status is not higher than that of beings born in the animal realm. ”
After saying a word, Huo Yuanzhen continued: "And the Buddha accepts female disciples like him, and they are called "Youpoyi", which means female believers. ”
The master said this, but the little woman did not see any woman ordained in the monastery. Rather, there is a special nunnery, is this a form of discrimination?"
"This thing does exist, but it is not the fault of the Buddha, this is the Pure Land that manifested in response to the expediency of sentient beings, in the time of Tianzhu. Women are of low status, and they hope to be born as men in the future. Therefore, Amitabha Buddha made a vow to recruit these women to this realm. In the Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha, there is a "appearance", that is, a realm where you can see the image of a man and a woman, but there is a transcendent realm called "Eternal Light Land", where there is no male or female appearance, and there is no language to describe. In Buddhism, there are also women who have cultivated to the Buddha's fruition, and their status is no different from that of the Buddha, such as the Buddha Mother of Zhun Ti, the Buddha Mother of Prajna, the Mother of the Buddha of the Great Suisui Buddha, the Mother of the Buddha of the Gurgling and so on. ”...,
Speaking of this, Huo Yuanzhen pondered for a moment: "Because when Buddhism began to spread, it was affected by the identity of men and women at that time, so it could only be done like this, but it is absolutely unreasonable to say that Buddhism does not accept women." ”
"Oh, that's a stopgap measure. ”
The same can be said. ”
When the woman heard this, she smiled and said to Huo Yuanzhen: "In this case, if one day the little woman breaks through the red dust and doesn't want to roll in this red dust, and wants to go to the master's temple to become a monk, I wonder if the master can agree and accept me as an apprentice?"
Huo Yuanzhen looked at the woman's flower-like smile, nodded slightly, and said: "If the female donor really has this wish, then the poor monk should consider building a branch to house female disciples, which is also subordinate to my small temple, but the diet and daily life are not with the male disciples, so it is more convenient for everyone, I believe that those female donors who plan to escape into the empty door will not want to live with the male disciples." ”
The woman nodded: "The master is good at arranged, the little woman has written down this, maybe one day, the little girl will go to the master's temple to become a monk, but the little woman still doesn't know where the master's temple is?"
Looking at the vicissitudes in the woman's eyes, Huo Yuan could really feel that this woman was not completely joking.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuanzhen couldn't continue to hide it, and said: "The temple of the poor monk is in Henan, Songshan Shaolin Temple. ”
The woman's eyes lit up, and there was a flash of divine light in an instant, and Huo Yuanzhen, who was watching it, actually had some heart palpitations for a while!
But that flash of divine light was just a flash, and Huo Yuanzhen even wondered if he was wrong.
The woman continued: "It turned out to be the abbot of the Shaolin Temple, and the little woman has admired the name for a long time. ”
"The female benefactor is not a person in the rivers and lakes, she can actually know that the poor monk is called a precept, it turns out that you are the one who hides deeply, disrespectful!
Huo Yuanzhen spoke, he already had some vigilance against this woman, this person didn't seem to know martial arts, but the divine light in his eyes just now was so terrifying, it seemed that he had an irresistible feeling for a moment, if he was not mistaken, this person's martial arts were likely to have reached an incredible level.
And she just said the Shaolin Temple, and she actually called out the name of Yijie, which is also very strange.
Isn't it true that people in the rivers and lakes will know such details? I'm afraid that it may not be.
The woman also realized that she had talked too much for a while, but she didn't care, and continued: "The master is quick to think, but there is still a misunderstanding, does it have to be a person from the rivers and lakes to know the master's legal name? Even in this northwestern frontier, I believe that as long as the master reports his name, there will be many people everywhere he goes to welcome the master and worship you as a Buddha. ”
"Haha, since that's the case, the poor monk can't sign up, the poor monk is just a person, and he can't do the things of the Buddha. ”
With Huo Yuanzhen's laughter, the distance between the two seemed to be closer, and the woman said to him: "Abbot, do you believe in fate?"
Huo Yuanzhen nodded slightly: "As soon as fate is said, it has existed in ancient times, and there is a definite number of origins and extinctions, and indeed some people just have fate." ”
The woman said: "Yes, the little woman didn't believe it before, but today I believe it, and I met the master today, maybe we have a master-apprentice relationship, kitten, you go and get a zongzi, give the master a taste, the day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival." ”
The little girl named Kitten brought over two zongzi at this time, one for Huo Yuanzhen and one for Ji Wushuang.
Huo Yuanzhen turned out to be a zongzi, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart.
On the twenty-eighth of last month, the system really didn't move, it seems that it is still being upgraded, but now the upgrade should be completed, but you need to wait until the Dragon Boat Festival to view, and I don't know if the system is upgraded this time, what surprises will be waiting for you. ..., there are still two days, at this rate, maybe not to Ganzhou, to the Dragon Boat Festival first.
The group moved forward slowly, and at night, the temperature in the desert dropped, and Huo Yuanzhen and Ji Wushuang could go alone, but Ji Wushuang had already agreed to go with others, and it was not good to move forward alone at this time.
The people came down from the camels, and each sat down on his own camel, using the camel's body for warmth.
The guards were fine, but the woman and her maid kitten seemed to be cold, snuggling up to the camel and not approaching the other men.
Huo Yuanzhen secretly observed this woman, this person has never said her identity, but there are many doubts in it.
First of all, she said that she had lived in the northwest for a long time, but seeing that her skin was fair and smooth, without any traces of wind and sand, she did not look like a person who had lived in the desert for a long time.
There is also the fact that her age does not look very old, but after seeing several young women, Huo Yuanzhen does not believe in the woman's external age, and feels that she is a person who has experienced vicissitudes.
But no matter what, this has nothing to do with Huo Yuanzhen, he came to the Western Regions for two things, to find Dongfang Qing and to see the old man of Tianji.
Over there, Ji Wushuang caught up with a guard, and took the initiative to say: "This brother, I see the black qi looming between your eyebrows, and there will be a bloody disaster soon, so you should do it early." ”
The guard said, "I have a bloody plague, so what do you say you should do?"
"This matter is also simple, as long as you can take out fifty taels of silver and crack it for you, it will be fine. ”
The guard sneered: "Uncle has seen a lot of blood, but it is all other people's blood, and the uncle has now entered the congenital, what other disasters can there be, you are swaggering and deceiving the wrong person, maybe to those two delicate little ladies, maybe you can earn a hundred taels." ”
Ji Wushuang was bored with himself, walked back, and said to Huo Yuanzhen: "These people don't know how many days they have, and they don't know that the catastrophe is coming, even if they have the means, they can't save the people who will die, you look at it, in two days, they will be finished." ”
