Chapter 124: Eighty-four thousand

Time is relatively urgent, in order to complete the two tasks related to Shaolin Temple, Wu Ming reluctantly said goodbye to Wang Yuyan after breakfast, and then flew out of Xiaoyao Valley in Jinjin.

The eagle eagle spreads its wings and flies in the clouds.

This time Jin Jin flew very high, and on its back, Wu Mingyue felt the vastness of heaven and earth, and his mind became extraordinarily open-minded, which invisibly increased his understanding of the way of martial arts.

Wu Ming only said to Jin Jin at first to go to Shaolin Temple, and Jin Jin nodded and flew straight all the way, as if he knew the way, and he didn't even ask Wu Ming if he was going very correctly.

Wu Ming was secretly surprised in his heart, could it be that Jin Jin had been to Shaolin Temple before?

If it really went to the Shaolin Temple, then it should be Xiaoyaozi sitting on it.

In the past, when Wu Ming read the book Tianlong, the sweeping monk was very familiar with the kung fu of the free school, and many readers in the Jin Yong martial arts forum at that time were doubting the identity of the sweeping monk.

There are two rough guesses.

The first is that the sweeping monk and Xiaoyaozi are friends.

The second is that the sweeping monk and Xiaoyaozi are brothers in the same school.

But no matter what, it undoubtedly shows that there is a close connection between Xiaoyaozi and the sweeping monk.

Wu Ming used to think that it was the first type, but now that he is familiar with the table of Jin Jin, the more he believes that Xiaoyaozi and the sweeping monk must have had a relationship before, maybe they are really good friends.

Since Jin Jin knows the way, then the matter is simple, saving a lot of trouble, after all, Wu Mingnai is a modern person, without a satellite positioning system and navigation map, it is not reliable to ask him to guide the way in the air.

Jin Jin's degree is extremely fast, all the way is like the wind galloping, Wu Ming even feels that it is faster than the high-speed rail in modern society, the wind power brought by that degree, if you don't have a superb kung fu in your body, maybe you will be scared half to death, and it is impossible to sit on Jin Jin's back steadily.

This degree, coupled with the fact that there is no space barrier, is almost a pure straight line, and according to Wu Ming's estimate, it will only take an hour and a half at most to get to Shaolin Temple. On the other hand, if you ride a horse, it will take about two to three days.

Wu Ming's prediction was indeed very accurate, and after a long-distance flight of more than an hour, Jin Jin took him to the vicinity of Shaosi Mountain.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of the Shaolin monks, Wu Ming asked Jin Jin to stop on a certain mountain, and then went down the mountain alone and went to the Shaolin Temple.

When passing a stream on the way, Wu Ming met a group of Shaolin Temple disciples who were carrying water.

There are monks in this group of Shaolin, and there are also lay disciples who have not been shaved.

With Wu Ming's current vision, he casually swept away and realized that they were martial artists who were beginners, and they should be carrying water in TongguΓ² to practice basic skills.

Although he became a monk in Shaolin Temple, he practiced very late, and only when he was about twenty-two years old did he learn Shaolin Kung Fu "Luohan Boxing" and "Wei Tuozhang" with the Shaolin monk Huilun.

Wu Ming thought that he had come to see Xuzhu a lot of time in advance, and the Xuzhu at this time should be almost the same as this group of Shaolin disciples, all of them were in the stage of laying the foundation.

Wu Ming was even wondering in his heart, could Xuzhu be among these people who carried water?

So Wu Ming deliberately hid on the top of a big tree by the stream and condescendingly investigated these Shaolin disciples.

There are about twenty or thirty Shaolin disciples in this group, most of whom are fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers, and only four or five of them are over 20 years old and have been ordained monks.

Among these four or five people, Wu Ming appeared as a monk with a particularly ugly appearance.

In the book of Tianlong, Xuzhu's appearance was introduced, saying that he was ugly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, upturned nostrils, ears and thick lips.

Wu Ming compared the two, and it was really true, which also made him feel very surprised.

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

In the excitement, Wu Ming was about to come forward to talk, but at this time, there seemed to be a dispute on the side of the stream. And one of the two people in dispute has a goal he wants to talk to.

The person who quarreled with the monk who was suspected of being Xuzhu was a lay disciple who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he laughed and said, "The water in this stream is very clean, where are there any insects, Senior Brother Xuzhu, you are really good at laughing." ”

Hearing this, Wu Ming had already confirmed in his heart that the identity of the other party was Xuzhu, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and he didn't rush forward, but wanted to hear how Xuzhu would answer.

I only listened to the Xuzhu Dao: "The Buddha views a bowl of water, 84,000 insects." If you don't hold this mantra, it's like eating the flesh of living beings. Senior Brother Lin, if you haven't read the Buddhist scriptures, you may not know the mystery of it. In the eyes of ordinary people, there are naturally no insects in the water, but when I look at the water with the eyes of heaven, I see thousands of insects in the water. As he spoke, he pointed with his right hand and held in his left hand a bowl for karma, which contained most of the water.

Wu Ming was secretly surprised after hearing this, although this Buddhist theory is far-fetched, but in fact there are many microorganisms in the water, from the perspective of microscopic science, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are thousands of small insects in a bowl of water.

The lay disciple surnamed Lin was not Wu Ming, of course he wouldn't believe that there could be insects in the water of such a clear stream, so he couldn't help but laugh and mock: "Senior Brother Xuzhu, if you recite the drinking mantra when you drink water, won't the 84,000 little insects in these drinking water not die?" ”

Xuzhu was stunned for a moment, as if he had never thought about this problem, so he said, "This...... Master hasn't taught it, so most of them probably won't die after reading it. ”

The lay disciple surnamed Lin shook his head and said, "How can there be any immortal worm in the stomach, but after the senior brother recites the mantra, 84,000 worms lead to the Birth West Heaven Elysium. When the senior brother drank a bowl of water, he saved 84,000 sentient beings. It's really immeasurable, immeasurable! ”

Wu Ming naturally heard the mockery in the words of the surname Lin, but Xu Zhu was immediately stunned, as if he didn't know whether what he said was true or false, and finally muttered: "Eighty-four thousand sentient beings in one fell swoop? The little monk never has such a great mana. ”

Xuzhu's words made the other Shaolin Temple disciples couldn't help but laugh.

Because of Xuzhu's ugly appearance and honest personality, he has always been the object of ridicule and teasing by the disciples.

Fortunately, Xuzhu is loyal and kind, honest and honest, and never cares about everyone's teasing, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to stay in Shaolin Temple.

When everyone was laughing, a young man of about the same age next to the disciple surnamed Lin suddenly pointed to the bowl in Xuzhu's hand and said, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...... Hundred...... 1,000, 2,000, 10,000, 20,000...... Senior Brother Xuzhu, wrong, wrong, there are only 83,999 insects in this bowl, and you have most of them. ”

Wu Ming immediately laughed dumbly after hearing this, this kid is too bad, and he obviously deliberately took the opportunity to tease Xuzhu.

"That's not right." Wu Ming smiled faintly, flew down from the top of the tree, and gently landed in the middle of the crowd and said: "I, Wu Ming, I just counted it from afar, and there are obviously exactly 84,000 insects in this bowl of water, look, you must have missed one here." Finally, he pointed to the edge of the bowl in a serious manner.

Everyone was very surprised, they never thought that someone would come down from the sky to help Xuzhu break the siege.

But Xuzhu was very suspicious at this time, only when the Buddha appeared, and kept reciting Buddhist scriptures in his mouth

The lay disciple surnamed Zhang was a little worried when he saw Wu Ming's light skills, but when he thought that there were many people on his side, he immediately became bold and annoyed: "Nonsense, you are just an ordinary man, and you haven't opened your eyes to see the insects in the water." ”

Wu Ming smiled: "I'm an ordinary man, are you the Buddha who opened the eyes of the sky?" ”

"You ......" The lay disciple surnamed Zhang was speechless for a moment, and said nonsense: "You don't care if I open my eyes or not, anyway, I can see it." ”

Wu Ming really wants to say, your eyes are as powerful as a microscope, does your mother know?

However, this is ancient times, and it is better to use less modern words, so Wu Ming suddenly snatched the bowl in Xuzhu's hand, poured out the water, and filled half a bowl in the stream again, the number was obviously less than before.

Wu Ming smiled and asked, "Since you are so powerful, it is possible to count how many small insects are in the water this time?" ”

Due to Wu Ming's extraordinary light body just now, everyone was shocked, and Wu Ming's appearance was magnificent, and his momentum was extraordinary, so everyone didn't dare to be rude, and they all watched blankly.

The lay disciple surnamed Zhang pretended to count again, because the water in the bowl was about half less than before, and he said: "There are a total of forty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine small insects, one is not much, and one is not many." ”

Wu Ming smiled faintly, noncommittal, but turned his head to Xuzhu, who was stunned on the side, and asked, "This senior brother, what do you think?" ”

Xuzhu scratched his head and said, "The little monk doesn't know, but according to the Buddhist scriptures, there should still be 84,000 insects in this water." ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, just now the bowl was almost full of 84,000 bugs, and now most of them are missing 84,000 bugs, how is it possible?

After hearing this, Wu Ming smiled and said, "That's right, it's 84,000, but do you know the reason?" ”

Xuzhu shook his head and said: "The little monk doesn't know, I would like to listen to the donor's opinion." ”

Wu Ming said with a smile: "The number 84,000 is not a real number, but a virtual word used to refer to a very large number, as long as the number is too large to count, in the Buddhist language, it can be replaced by 84,000." There are 84,000 threads of troubles in the world, not that there are really 84,000 kinds of troubles, but that there are so many troubles in the world that they are too many to count. Just like the invisible little insects in the water, there are so many that we ordinary people can't count them at all, so we can use eighty-four thousand instead, which is used to refer to a large number. ”

Although Wu Ming doesn't know much about Buddhism, he certainly understands whether it is a virtual word or a real word.

Eighty-four thousand is a virtual word in Buddhism to indicate that there are many numbers.

Xuzhu suddenly realized: "Amitabha, I really listen to your words, it is better to read ten years of books, the little monk understands, thank you, thank you!" ”
