It is better to call the clouds to cover the moon, and not to let the fire dye the heart lake.

Where did this sentence come from? Since the night of the battle in Hengshui City, Yuanxing's mind has always had all kinds of thoughts about himself, about his cultivation, and about the precepts.

Among the Buddhist precepts, do not kill, do not steal, do not commit adultery, do not lie, and do not drink alcohol.

He doesn't drink, he doesn't like to lie and talk about right and wrong, he hasn't touched a woman until now, and he doesn't like to buy and sell and steal things. The only most important killing ring was almost broken that night. Thinking about it in hindsight, the other party is a villain and a villain, and killing it at that time is considered to be a harm to the people, and it is not a selfish desire to harm life, why not? But the reason is clear, he is just distressed, his thoughts are complicated but he can't grasp the point, and the turning point will soon come.

The location is Bianjing, Fang Qiwu seems to be in a bad mood after coming back from a day out, and he is boating alone on the lake at night.

Yuan Xing saw that he wanted to comfort a few words, so he stepped into the water. But when I got on the boat, I got stuck, because I didn't know why the other party was bothered.

Seeing him like this, Fang Daochang, who was pouring himself a drink, explained first: "I just saw an apprentice who I haven't been in touch with for many years today, and I just thought of some old things and sighed alone. ”

The fate can only scratch his head.

"You've been sullen lately, do you have something on your mind? Is you really thinking about the girl as Zhou Mo said? In the end, it is still the old fritter in the rivers and lakes, Fang Daochang opened the topic and resolved the embarrassment.

"I grew up abiding by the law, and I never killed a chicken. Later, when I became a monk and practiced, my master taught me compassion, and my brother asked me to always be in awe, but that night in Hengshui, I couldn't help the murderous intent in my heart, and I ......" Yuan Xing stumbled and said about his recent troubles.

"Do you really care about the precepts as much as you say you do?" Daoist Fang suddenly interrupted him and asked, staring into his eyes.

Yuan Xing was stunned, he is not a rigid person, if he is really forced to do so, he will break the vows, but: "I always feel that I am a good person, but that night, I was afraid." ”

"This is normal, the so-called murderous intention with a sharp weapon, and the premise of all this is that you have this desire to destroy in your heart. But you are human, and if you are human, you have desires. What you're afraid of is not breaking your vows, you're afraid of yourself. "Fang Dao Chang is the old god.

Yuan Xing only nodded, yes, he suddenly found that he didn't know himself, he thought he had always been rational, but it seemed that at that moment his mind was conquered by desire, is it a magic barrier? Is there really a devil living in his heart?

"I just killed someone, and I was crazy for a while." Fang Dao Chang smiled: "You have such troubles, doesn't it mean that you have awe in your heart?" Although you Buddhists also have vajra's angry words, you can talk about salvation. It's not impossible to kill people, it's okay to protect the family and the country, help the needy, protect the road and sacrifice your life, but you have to have a degree. Who is a normal person who has nothing to do with killing people? As you said, to have reverence for life at all times and in all places is compassion. ”

"Actually, you're asking me the wrong thing about this murderous layman." She drank the wine in the cup and seemed to be interested: "But since I asked, I will briefly say, I don't understand much about your Buddhism, although I am in Taoism, I almost don't read the Taoist scriptures, so I can only talk about my own understanding." She suddenly pointed to the bright moon hanging high in the sky: "I think it is the Tao, hanging high in the sky, it seems to be out of reach, but ......"

He pointed to the reflection shaking in the water: "This is also the way." ”

"But it's fake in the water."

"Who defines what is true and what is false? Don't you Buddhists repeatedly emphasize that everything in this world is illusory? Fang Dao Chang opened his arms: "Isn't the reflection bright?" The bright moon in the sky also reflects the light of the sun, giving people the illusion of brightness? As she spoke, she poured all the wine in the pot into the lake: "At least, this lake water belongs to her, but the lake water is limited, today I pour a pot of wine, no waves, tomorrow pour a little ink, not stained half a point." What if I did this every day? ”

"At that time, it will be very colorful and beautiful, but the lake will also be amazing. Integrity, honesty, diligence, dedication, loyalty, etc., etc., why do all kinds of good religions have a lot of precepts? Most of the rules that can be recognized by the world are set up from the perspective of human nature. Throughout the ages, there have been no holy monks who have killed people, and there have been no real people who have done bad things. ”

"As for fame and fortune, slander, suspicion, and desire, the clouds in the sky will obscure some light, but the moon is still there, dark clouds and white clouds, what do you do if it doesn't rain? At least at this moment, your lake is still clear, and when the sky is clear and the moon is bright, what kind of scenery should it be? ”

"I see." Yuan Xing suddenly clapped his hands: "I'd rather call the clouds to cover the moon, and not allow the fire to dye the heart lake." ”

"Huh?" Fang Daochang was stunned for a long time before coughing and muffled: "Cough, these are also things I don't think about, just listen to it, as for how to understand, it depends on yourself." ”

"Amitabha, the Taoist has a unique wisdom, if you enter my Buddhism, you will be a generation of monks." Yuan Xing was amazed, but his shoulder was slapped heavily.

"Huh? Who are you scolding? Who wants to be a bald donkey. Fang Daochang glanced at him and saw that he was stunned, so he laughed out loud.

At this time, the obstacle was gone, and when he saw her like this, he also laughed.

"What's the ghost number in the middle of the night? Is there a lack of morality in disturbing dreams? Then there was a sudden roar from the shore.

The two of them laughed, looked at each other awkwardly, and then went back to their rooms in a gloomy manner......

----------

Thinking of these in his heart, Yuan Xing followed Xia Xiaonan to the car, and at this time, he saw Lao He waving at him, he shook the mobile phone in his hand, and got into the car.

"Brother, I was too domineering just now, are you handsome, smiling jpg"

"Anyway, you jumped from the fifth floor, this is a light work, right? Your sister-in-law is scared silly. ”

"This is the result of your two years of ordination? It turns out that you really didn't fool me, what do you think of me, brother? Can you learn it too? ”

As soon as the car started, Yuanxing's WeChat received messages one after another, all of which belonged to Lao He. He smiled slightly, and returned: "Welcome to my team, unify the hairstyle and clothing, and stay away from the trouble of choice." Organize further study from time to time, eat enough at noon, get up early to chant sutras and be in good health, not bored in zazen at night, cut off all bad habits, and let you say goodbye to your troubles completely. A bald head will always shine, and he will not complain about being single for 10,000 years, and he will beg for food and break his robe, and he will never exist again. Funny jpg"

I posted this, and it took a long time for a picture of a fist to be sent on the other side.

"Your sister-in-law will slice me, but don't be complacent, it wouldn't be good if she knew it was you."

The two joked slightly, and agreed to meet again next time, and ended the small talk.

------------

It was already evening when he returned home from the Governor's Mansion, and Yuan Xing packed up his things and was about to return, taking Xiaodouzi with him before leaving.

Xiaodouzi is the name given by the cat, Qin's mother. Because he is obedient and well-behaved, he likes her very much, and Yuan Xing saw that he was going to leave it for his parents to be a companion, but the kitten hooked the hem of his clothes with his paws, and seemed to know that he wanted to leave himself.

"Forget it, you take it away, this is also a blessing." Qin Mu said with a sigh.

Yuan Xing laughed dryly, hugged Xiaodouzi and went out.

When I got downstairs and was about to open the car door, I looked up as if I was aware of it, and saw my mother standing at the window looking at me stupidly.

His heart was hot, and he forced himself to hold back his emotions, waved his hand and drove away. He knew that there was a lot of commotion on the streets at noon, and he knew a lot about him in these two streets, and his parents must have known about it, and they were worried about themselves.

On the way back, I received a call from Xia Xiaonan: "Master Yuanxing, our captain asked me to ask you, are you interested in joining the Governor's Mansion, the salary is good, you are respected, the benefits are good, the salary is high, and you have a vacation every year." ”

"The poor monk just wants to practice with peace of mind and is used to being lazy, your Governor's Mansion is so busy, it may not be suitable." Yuan Xing didn't feel the corners of his mouth twitch when he heard this, which was similar to the ridicule between himself and Lao He at noon.

He resisted the urge to complain, and said: "But as long as you are in this city, if you need help, just come to the poor monks, and there is absolutely no ambiguity in helping you." ”

"Oh!" The other side responded, but there was not much regret in her tone, perhaps she had already expected that she would make this answer: "You have the greatest credit for this operation, how can I give you a bonus, 200,000." ”

"You donate some for me to the two victims, and the rest to charity, be reliable, anonymous." Recently, he has solved his urgent need, and he is not short of spending, so this money is dispensable, but it is better to give it to those who need it more.

There is nothing to talk about here, Yuan Xing was just about to hang up the phone, but he said eagerly: "You participate in our operation, and you must have an internal code name out of the principle of confidentiality." We discussed for a long time, what kind of living Buddha, master, vajra arhat and the like are not suitable for you, and finally our captain made a decision and set a code name of 'Sanzang', which is not only the honorific title of Buddhist monks, but also the general name of Buddhist scriptures. Ordinary people don't know much about it, how about it that sounds good and doesn't seem impetuous? Hey, talk. Not satisfied with the one you want to think of yourself. ”

As early as the other party said the word "Sanzang", Yuan Xing almost braked suddenly, but fortunately, he was in a strong mood and forced to pull over the car.

"Sanzang?" He confirmed.

"Sanzang, that's good, right?" Xia Xiaonan's tone was a little proud: "This is still something I remembered on a whim." ”

"So be it." Yuan Xing frowned tightly, Buddhism walking, golden cicada, Sanzang, these words flashed quickly in his mind, over and over again, vaguely seemed to touch something in his heart, he was a little confused now, and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Calling the golden cicada in his heart, there was no response as always. After sitting in the car for a long time, he let out a long breath and restarted the car.

"Sanzang." As if feeling a little hot, he opened the window and let the cold autumn breeze blow on his face outside the window, and a song was playing on the car radio, and in the slow and sad song, the car he drove merged into the shuttle traffic......
