As he spoke, he didn't realize that it was getting late. Liu Boqin's servants lined up the table and stools, took a few plates of cooked tiger meat, and put it hot on it, although there were no condiments, don't say it, it smelled quite fragrant.

Liu Boqin politely told me to eat some tiger meat pads first, and there will be other dishes later.

Tell me to pretend to be here, right, knowing that I am a monk, knowing that I can recite sutras, do you know that I am a vegetarian?

I can't figure out who you are now, if I can be sure that you are really an ordinary hunter, let alone eat meat, if you have wine, I will accompany you to drink half a pot.

I clasped my hands together and said, "Good! The poor monk did not hide from the Taibao that since I entered the empty door, I have never eaten meat again." ”

Although I am pretending, I have really never touched any meat since I became a monk in Jinshan Temple, and I don't know why Chinese monks should be vegetarian, and long-term vegetarianism will cause malnutrition!

After listening to what I said, Liu Boqin pondered for a while, and said: "Elder, our family lives on hunting, and we don't eat vegetarian, even some bamboo shoots, pick some fungus, find some dried vegetables, and make some tofu, all of which are fried in meat oil, and even the pot and stove used for cooking in my house are also covered with greasy, what can I do?"

Your sister, this is to force me to open meat, I still don't believe it, I don't eat meat, you really don't give me food?

"Taibao don't have to worry too much, please use it yourself. Poor monks don't eat for three or five days, but they can endure hunger, but they don't dare to break their fasts. ”

Liu Boqin said: "If you starve to death, what will you do?"

I know I'm going to starve to death, so don't prepare a vegetarian meal in advance!

I said righteously: "I feel the grace of Taibao, rescue me from the tiger and wolf bush, it is better to starve to death than to be eaten by that beast." ”

Mother Liu said: "Children, don't talk to the elders, I have some vegetarian food here that can be used to entertain the elders." ”

Liu Boqin said: "You don't leave home, where do you get the vegetarian things?"

Liu's mother said: "Then you don't care about me, I said yes, daughter-in-law, you go and burn the greasy in the pot stove, brush it a few more times, and boil half a pot of boiling water first." ”

Liu Boqin's wife brushed the small pot several times according to Liu's mother's instructions, boiled half a pot of boiling water, put some elm money to cook the soup, and Liu's mother cooked a pot of millet and dried vegetable porridge.

Mother Liu put two bowls of porridge in front of me and said, "Elder, please use fasting, this is some extremely clean tea and rice that the old man and his daughter-in-law have personally sorted out." ”

I got up and sat down again, Liu Boqin sat opposite me, and in front of him there were tiger meat, fragrant roe meat, python meat, fox meat, rabbit meat, and chopped venison dried meat, full of plates and bowls.

According to my Buddhist precepts, monks are not allowed to fast at the same table with meat, you are doing it on purpose!

Liu Boqin just sat down and picked up the chopsticks, I said in my heart that your bowls are all delicacies, I will drink two bowls of millet porridge, you look at your big table, I don't know how many lives you have killed!

I habitually put my palms together and recited a mantra, and Liu Boqin saw that I was reciting, and quickly put down his chopsticks and stood aside.

I finished reciting the mantra and beckoned Liu Boqin to sit down and eat.

Bo Qin said, "What kind of scripture did the elder just read?"

I smiled and said, "This is not a scripture, but a mantra of fasting." ”

Bo Qin said: "You monks, you pay attention to a lot, and you have to recite and recite when you eat." ”

Don't you know, before the meal, there is a fasting mantra, after the meal there is a fast, and in foreign countries, you have to thank God hand in hand before every meal, which is similar to me.

After eating the fast, putting away the dishes, it was getting late, Liu Boqin took me out of the middle house and went for a walk in his backyard.

Liu Boqin happily invited me to sit in the grass pavilion where he put weapons and hung tiger skins, you really have no eyes, don't you see that my face is full of boring, what is there to look at, I went in and said a few good words perfunctorily and then came out of the grass pavilion.

Further back is a large garden, the garden is planted with maple poplars, planted with chrysanthemums, at a glance the red and yellow contrast, it is indeed pleasing to the eye.

Seeing a snort again, more than a dozen fat deer and a group of yellow roe deer ran out, and they were not afraid of seeing people.

Liu Boqin said that like the people in Chang'an City, those who have money to collect wealth and fields to gather grain, they have to gather some wild beasts to hunt in the mountains.

Early the next morning, Liu Boqin's family got up, fasted, treated the elders, and started chanting. The elder cleaned his hands, poured incense in front of the Taibao family hall, and worshiped the family hall.

Only then did I ring the wooden fish, first recited the mantra of purifying the mouth karma, and then recited the mantra of purifying the body and mind, and then opened a volume of the "Sutra of Death". After reciting, Bo Qin asked me to write a recommendation for the dead, and then recited the "Diamond Sutra" and "Guanyin Sutra", and recited them one by one.

After reciting so many sutras in the morning, don't you say, it's really exhausting, I'm hungry.

After eating lunch, I read a few volumes of the Lotus Sutra, the Mida Sutra, and a volume of the Peacock Sutra, while I was interested, I told Liu Boqin's family the story of the washing industry, and talked until dark, the family offered all kinds of incense, turned the gods into paper horses, and burned the death of Wenshu, and worked all day, and finally passed the anniversary of the old Liu Tou'er's death.

A few days ago, I was shocked and scared, and today I was tired for another day, and I slept very well this night.

Early the next morning, Liu Boqin's family came to thank me with a happy face, and Liu Boqin told me that yesterday their family dreamed of his dead ghost father, and the old Liu Touer gave all of them a dream, and the content of the dream was exactly the same.

In the dream, Lao Liu Tou told them that he suffered every day in the underworld, but he had no chance to be reincarnated and free from the sea of suffering, but fortunately I read so many scriptures to him yesterday to eliminate his sins, and the king of Hades had sent someone to send him to be reincarnated in a rich and noble family. Old Liu Touer told his family in a dream that he wanted to send me off.

I just laughed, dream, it's all exactly the same dream, this old Liu Tou'er sent you a message in a group.

I don't know how this scripture read out according to the book is so godly, even the king of Hades has to give face, I read it with a dry mouth for a day, and the Liu family didn't treat me badly, took me in and didn't say anything, and beckoned me to eat and live for so two days, although I took advantage of more, and it was barely enough to do this ritual It is not worth it.

I packed up the dry food for the horses, and Liu Boqin's mother thanked me again and again and insisted on giving me a tael of silver.

Not to mention that the monks don't hold gold and silver rings, you just give me silver, where can I spend on this barren mountain and wild mountains!

I know, if you go over two more mountains, you will be out of the Tang Dynasty, you give me the currency of the Tang Dynasty, where can I go abroad to find a bank to exchange!

Liu Boqin told me that although this is already the border of the Tang Dynasty, the people of the neighboring countries still accept the Datang money, and repeatedly persuaded me to accept it.

"Okay, I don't want the money, if you really have this heart, just send me away for a while. ”

Yes, sending one more paragraph is a paragraph, although I know that I can subdue my first apprentice at the next stop after leaving Liu Boqin, I still don't want to have any accidents before I meet Wukong.

Seeing that I insisted on not taking cashier, Mother Liu hurriedly made some coarse noodles and baked cakes, and Mrs. Liu also made a straw mushroom vegetable cake, not to mention, I thought it was pizza at first glance.

Yes, yes, I'll take the dry food, thank you.

Liu Boqin took three servants to accompany me on the road, walked for most of the mountain road and finally reached the top of the mountain, from this west, there is a towering mountain in front of me, I can't say the excitement in my heart, although there is no task prompt, but I know that the one in front must be the Five Elements Mountain!

Wukong! I'm coming!

The Marble Mountain I have been waiting for for a long time has finally arrived, here I will meet the most important man in my life, this man is a hero of the world, he will step on the colorful auspicious clouds all the way to protect me, I know the beginning, and I also know the end, so, I want to be with this man for the rest of my life, hahaha!

Monkey King is the most important person on the road to learning scriptures, it can be said that, including me, any person in the scripture learning team can be replaced, except for Sun Wukong.

In the past, when I watched film and television works related to Journey to the West, I even thought that this trip to learn scriptures was planned for Sun Wukong, Bajie Sha Seng was a supporting role, and as for Tang Seng who was always arrested, he was just a prop at best.

It is precisely because I know the importance of Monkey King, I don't want my relationship with Monkey King to become as stiff as in novels or TV series, I hope to be friends with Monkey King.

Because if you want me to be his master, I really don't have anything to teach him, you teach a monkey to chant sutras and chant Buddha all day long, it feels the same as a circus training a puppy to jump into a fire ring, why don't we just worship a brother and be a brother.

Let's not be restrained, don't call me Master, call me Xiao Chen, call me Xuanxuan, call me Sanzang, you can call me Xiao San'er, let's call me brothers and sisters on an equal footing.

How did Luo Jiaying sing that sentence, I'll come with the black pot, send you to death, anyway, you're not afraid of death, just treat it as a tour, happily take the scriptures, and happily be a god and Buddha in the sky, oops, who can not envy and say that we are the real winners in life, hahahaha!
