"Amitabha, good, good. ”

Tang Seng looked at the poor little girl cowering in the corner, couldn't help sighing, and said: "This benefactor, it is natural for a child to eat when he is hungry, and he should not be beaten like this. ”

Chen Qing also echoed and persuaded: "Sister-in-law, don't fight." It is not very respectful to go and find half a steamed bun for her, and to go hungry to see the Bodhisattva. ”

Co-authored not to fight because the child is pitiful, but is it still afraid of angering the Bodhisattva?

Cui Shi was greatly unimpressed, but did not interject, just frowned and watched coldly.

The two old men surnamed Chen in Chenjiazhuang, the older one is called Chen Cheng, and the younger one is called Chen Qing. Chen Cheng gave birth to a daughter, who was beaten for stealing roast chicken just now. Chen Qing's family is a son, named Chen Guanbao.

"Master Chen, give this roast chicken to the child. ”

Tang Seng hesitated, but still persuaded: "The young age is the time when you need to grow your body, and you can't be vague about food." ”

"How's that going to work!"

Chen Cheng glared and shook his head and said: "This is an offering to the Bodhisattva, no matter how poor our family is, we can't have the slightest disrespect for the Bodhisattva!"

Belch......

Tang Seng rolled his eyes rarely, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Chen's devout heart to worship the Buddha is very admired by the poor monks. But...... Don't Lord Chen know that our Buddhist disciples must hold the precepts of Buddhism, and there is a saying that there are five meats and three hats on food, this roast chicken...... Actually, we don't eat it, and we can't use it to worship the Bodhisattva. ”

Saying this, Tang Seng himself felt a little weak in his heart, and couldn't help but look back at the few unobtrusive apprentices led by Cui Shi.

Five meats and three hates? It has long ceased to exist......

"No, no, no, the holy monk doesn't know anything. ”

Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained: "The King of Inspiration has long conveyed the will of the Bodhisattva, and whether or not to worship the Buddha and respect the Buddha has little to do with what you eat. As long as there is a Buddha in the heart, then it is a Buddhist believer. Those so-called vegetarian diets are just formal rules and regulations, but they fall into inferiority. ”

Well?

Tang Seng suddenly felt that this statement was a little familiar, and blurted out: "Wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Chen Cheng and Chen Qing's eyes lit up at the same time, and they nodded again and again: "Sure enough, he is a senior monk of the Tang Dynasty, with profound insights and incisive summaries." That's what the King of Inspiration meant, but no monk said it so succinctly. ”

Tang Seng subconsciously glanced at Cui Shi, and Cui Shi knew what he meant.

At the beginning, when Cui Shi was barbecuing wild meat in front of Tang Seng, Tang Seng questioned it, he used this sentence to prevaricate, and directly said that Tang Sanzang, who had converted to Buddhism since childhood, doubted life and didn't know how to debate.

Cui Shi thought to himself, don't look for me about this, this is not my original, you go to Jigong!

Besides, as the reincarnation of the Dragon Arhat, of course there is this ideological realm, maybe it can really be left in the heart of the Buddha, although it ...... Cui Shi felt that this was just an excuse for the Dragon Descending Arhat to be uncomfortable in Lingshan and go to the mortal world to fight tooth sacrifices.

As for the so-called inspiration king, forget it. At most, he is the Buddha who has worn the intestines, and the wine and meat remain in his heart!

Although I have not yet been in contact with it, looking at these arrangements and practices, it is clear that I feel that eating boys and girls is not enough to be satisfied, and I need some side dishes and the like, so I fabricated a series of statements that there is no need to care about the form if there is a Buddha in my heart, which deceived the people of Chenjiazhuang.

"Holy monk, please sit down for a while, and the old man will come when he goes. ”

After a few words of greeting, Chen Qing said hello and left, and soon came back with a lot of chickens, ducks and fish, it seemed that he was going to hold a feast to entertain Tang monks and apprentices.

"Master Chen, I can't help it!"

Tang Seng saw that the other party insisted on going his own way, and those chickens and ducks who were still jumping around looked like they were about to be killed for their own sake, so they hurriedly dissuaded: "Buddhist disciples eat fasting and chant Buddha, and never want to eat and eat." What's more, the donor is now killing and entertaining poor monks, and the sins of poor monks are not light......"

"Haha, Master, you think too much. ”

Cui Shi laughed and said, "If we don't eat these chickens and ducks, we may not be able to live a good life." Wouldn't it be a great merit to make a dish into your belly, which you have been chanting all day long, and then you recite a mantra for the next life, so that they can have a good birth in the next life?"

"Nonsense!"

Tang Seng glared at him, but it was not strange that these words came out of Cui Shi's mouth, so he was not too surprised.

But the Chen family didn't know about this strange tacit understanding between them, and felt that this pair of masters and apprentices was really weird, and it didn't seem to be a sect?

Zhu Bajie is a foodie, and he has long been fooled by Cui Shi into becoming a pig, and at this time he stood on Cui Shi's side clearly, and echoed: "Master, if you don't eat it yourself, don't spoil this table of good dishes, we haven't seen anyone for a few days, it's easy!"

Monk Sha didn't pay much attention to eating, and chose not to stand in line silently.

So Tang Seng became the commander of the light pole very sadly, and he could only watch those chickens and ducks being taken to the kitchen, and after a few screams, there was no more sound, and a burst of meat fragrance accompanied by the crackling sound of the oil pan stir-frying, floated out of the kitchen.

"Alas!"

Tang Seng was speechless, he could only close his eyes and recite the scriptures, turning over and over a mantra of the past life I don't know how many times, it is estimated that these poultry that are about to be put on the plate can be reincarnated into a rich family in the next life.

"Holy monk, please take a seat!"

Chen Cheng and Chen Qing's mother-in-law seem to be good cooks, and it only took a quarter of an hour to take care of this table of dishes, and they have already served plates of fragrant dishes to the table, and greeted Tang Seng and others warmly.

"Amitabha, sin and sin ......"

Tang Seng sighed heavily, helplessly, his position in the scripture learning team was really embarrassing, and he was powerless to stop all this, looking at the braised chicken and steamed fish on the plate, he could only do it himself, but he couldn't control his unreliable apprentices.

"Well, the craftsmanship is good!"

Zhu Bajie's nostrils moved towards the sky, and he picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat happily, but he didn't expect someone to move faster than him.

Whoosh!

It seems that someone has used a superb grappling technique, and everyone only feels that there is a flower in front of them, and there is only red and bright juice left in two plates, and a whole chicken and a sweet and sour fish are missing.

When everyone reacted, Chen Guanbao and Yiliang Jin had already each held the fruit of their victory and desperately sent it to their mouths, and they couldn't take care of the hot dishes that had just come out of the pot, and they ate all over their mouths, and even their clothes were in a mess.

"You two are going to die!!"

Chen Cheng and Chen Qing shouted angrily at the same time, in front of the holy monks from the Tang Dynasty, these two children were repeatedly embarrassed, and they really couldn't fight them.

Seeing that at least the chicken and the fish could no longer be replated, and were gnawed all kinds of ugly, Chen Cheng looked left and right, as if he was looking for someone to take advantage of the two greedy and ignorant bear children.
