Chapter 268, the identity of the old monk
I heard the explosion, so this old monk, came in this direction, this monk is very classic, he has a bun on the top of his head, many people say it is a symbol of wisdom, there are dragon heads around the head, 7 or 9 are indefinite.
Wearing a robe, a pair of cloth shoes on the soles of his feet, his hands are knotted with the seal of the law that everyone can't understand, his eyebrows are all white, and his eyes are not like those of Chinese children, they look sharp and dazzling, with a high nose and a relatively small mouth.
However, when these characteristics are concentrated on one person, I feel a sense of compassion and compassion, looking kind and kind, and his hands are a bit like chicken feet and are full of bones.
may be the same as the common people of Dahan, lack of nutrition for a long time, and his face is a little pale, but these can't hide the extraordinaryness of this old man.
If you let ordinary people see it, they will definitely shout immortals, but there are few people here, only some bandits are entrenched, and now they have been served by Zhang Yi's men, so these places are safe now.
Soon the old monk came to the square under the Longmen Cave, and looking at the current situation here, he understood that for these bandits who robbed houses, although he could not eliminate them, he could use what he had learned to save them.
Originally, he also wanted to accept a few apprentices, but because of his shallow foundation, he was not recognized at all, so he did not receive a single apprentice, and finally he had no place for himself.
Think about the scene where you can call the wind and rain in your hometown, and then look at yourself now, the downcast has reached the point of exhaustion, and it is really a thought to become a Buddha and a thought to become a demon, if it is not for their firm beliefs, I am afraid that their Buddha heart has already been shaken!
The bright moon hangs high on the Bodhi tree,
Pure lotus is deeply planted in turbidity,
Take a step back and everything will stop,
Endure for a while, there is no wind and no waves.
Chen Shirong was watching everyone clean up the battlefield, when he heard a poem, which sounded a bit alarming, he shook his head and muttered in his heart, although there are a few of the big-headed soldiers under his command, but they will not be so literary!
I wanted to see if it was the idle man who had nothing to do, and he learned to be a great poet, but when he turned around, he saw an old monk, standing behind him and others, just a monk, so everyone didn't care.
Of course, they still don't understand, in this era of the Han Dynasty, monks can be said to be very rare, is there 1 temple in the country, the answer is yes, there is absolutely not 1.
The monk has become a dispensable existence, the common people can't even eat, who cares about the fact that you chant the scriptures excessively, these are too far away from the common people of the Han Dynasty, and they will definitely not consider it before they have a full stomach.
Battalion commander Chen Shirong also did not react, for them now, no monk or monk has no military merits, not to mention that they are all people's soldiers born in New China and grew up under the red flag.
It can be said that there is very little knowledge about the concepts of the sect, but in this barren mountain and wild place, Chen Shirong still felt the novelty of being able to see a monk, so he greeted him and gave a Buddhist salute to the old monk.
He opened his mouth and asked, "Where is the master going, and if you need anything, just say it, I will do my best to do it for you." ”
Perhaps influenced by later generations, Chen Shirong was still very polite to this old monk, but he didn't expect it to be a politeness of his, but it attracted the surprise of the old monk, and he didn't expect that there were still people who knew that he was a monk.
Even Shi Li is a Buddhist ritual that he is familiar with, it seems that this trip, he still has gains, isn't this person his ideal apprentice? Nagarjuna was overjoyed when he thought of this.
said to Chen Shirong: "Okay! You are still the first to know about our Eastern Buddhism, yes, it seems that you really have a relationship with my Buddha, for the sake of your Huigen, I will accept you as a disciple, you see how it is! ”
Now Nagarjuna has no requirements for qualifications, age or anything, and when he saw Chen Shirong, he was bent on accepting apprentices, and he didn't take into account whether people would agree or not, and when he heard the old monk's words, Chen Shirong couldn't cry or laugh.
Knowing that you are dressed as a monk, it has something to do with your Buddhism, is it too decisive, so Chen Shirong looked at the old monk and shouted to the orderly: "Xiao Wang, come here!" ”
When the orderly Xiao Wang heard the battalion commander calling himself, he immediately ran to the battalion commander, saluted the battalion commander and said, "Report to the battalion commander, what are your instructions?" ”
As soon as the battalion commander Chen Shirong returned the salute to his orderly, he opened his mouth and ordered: "Take out all the food on your body and bring me another bottle of water." ”
Hearing the battalion commander's instructions, although Xiao Wang couldn't stop muttering in his heart, he didn't understand what the battalion commander wanted to eat, but he remembered that they had just eaten the godmother's, and the godmother they ate was a kind of food like marshmallows.
It's just that the sugar is a little less, not so sweet, but it still tastes good, this is all after Zhang Yi's reminder, Xiao Jing began to specialize in the production of some living materials, of course, including water, each of them has at least 2 bottles in their backpacks, which is enough for a person to need for a day.
Seeing what Xiao Wang took out, if these foods were eaten alone, they would definitely be able to survive in the wild for more than 6 days, and after taking these things to eat and drink, Chen Shirong took them to the old monk.
In the end, he said to the old monk: "Master, you take these food and water to eat on the road, as for whether we are fated, this question is too profound, I don't want to think about it now, please master himself." ”
When the old monk Nagarjuna heard this guy's words, he almost turned his back on it, he didn't expect that he had worked hard to come to Middle-earth, and he originally thought that it would be easy for him to develop his own downline, attract talents, and form a new sect.
But when I arrived in Middle-earth, there was a tense atmosphere everywhere, as if the fear and anxiety of war were coming, and the life of the common people was the most simple, and even the most basic food and clothing could not be solved, and there were still people there to help themselves.
But he found that those dignitaries and dignitaries lived extremely luxuriously, and he really responded to that sentence, Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there were frozen bones on the road! Now it's hard to meet a destined person, and it's really frustrating to just send yourself away.
However, Nagarjuna looked at the food in his hand, as the saying goes, people are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry, not to mention that he has not eaten anything for several days, so he did not refuse the kindness of others.
