Chapter 119: Monk [4000 Words]
Fang Zheng smiled bitterly, if he could, he didn't want to settle here, but he still replied: "Quiet is quiet, but after a long time, it will be a little boring." ”
Xiao Liu said: "You will be bored, I see your last hot search every once in a while." By the way, what about your monkeys and dogs? Show me? They're on fire now, and there are videos of them all over the place. ”
Fang Zheng was stunned: "Are they on fire?" ”
"yes, don't you know?" Xiao Liu asked.
Fang Zheng really didn't know, but he knew a little, this crazy woman would sit here for a while, and just listen to the chatter of the little mouth, so he hurriedly shouted: "Pure truth, pure law, you take this donor to go around, and see the scenery of our temple!" ”
After a while, a monkey dressed in monk's robes and a white white wolf the size of a snow-white calf came over.
Xiao Liu exclaimed, "Wow, are there really monkeys and dogs like wolves?" What breed is that dog? Is a white bull and a wolf a crossbreed? Why is it so big? ”
Fang Zheng rubbed his eyebrows, and took the opportunity to secretly give the lone wolf a look, signaling him not to deal with fools.
Fang Zheng said: "Donor, wolves and cows can't be hybridized with dogs." This is a wolf, but he was enlightened by the poor monk with Buddhism and followed the poor monk to practice. Let's go out for a walk......"
Xiao Liu was already curious about wolves and monkeys, and when he heard this, he became even more curious.
Fang Zheng had to sigh that people who don't have many brains are generally bold.
Although the lone wolf sometimes looks like a second wolf, it is forgotten that this is a lone wolf!
The wolf king of the year was only driven out of the wolf pack when he was old. Before coming out, there was a fight, and the fierceness on his face was unquestionable.
And not to mention a wolf, it's such a big dog, and ordinary people don't dare to approach.
But Xiao Liu didn't care about it, and followed the wolf and monkey out.
Li Xueying looked at her back with some worry, and said squarely: "Don't worry, the apprentice of the leather monk is still very measured." ”
Only then did Li Xueying settle down.
The red boy looked at Fang Zheng and Li Xueying, and immediately said, "Master, I'll go...... Well, cooking. ”
Then the red boy also left, and stabbed the little fat ass of the squirrel.
He suddenly turned around and bared his teeth fiercely, looking like what are you doing.
The red boy looked, he was still not interested, so the red boy directly grabbed his little tail and carried him out.
Seeing this scene, Li Xueying couldn't help laughing: "Don't tell me that little fat man is also your apprentice." ”
Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Not only that, but it's also their second senior brother." ”
"Poof, you can really spoof ......" Li Xueying laughed again, she thought Fang was joking with her.
Fang Zheng said with a straight face: "I'm not joking, what I said is true." ”
Li Xueying was speechless for a while: "What did you think at the time?" It's a little squirrel, can it understand Buddhist scriptures? ”
Fang Zheng smiled: "It is said that a squirrel, even if it is a salted fish for a long time, it can understand." ”
Li Xueying rolled her eyes, he suddenly felt that this guy who looked quiet, handsome, and full of a sense of justice was so unreliable and interesting, and then she asked, "Is this why you threw a salted fish in the wishing fountain?" ”
Fang Zheng shook his head: "That's a stubborn old salted fish, and the poor monk can't influence him." Moreover, he listened to more Dharma than the poor monks, and could not teach him anything. ”
Li Xueying said: "Abbot Fangzheng, I know a talk show, do you want me to recommend you to try it?" I think your serious nonsense should be popular. ”
Fang Zheng was speechless for a while, why didn't anyone believe him every time he told the truth?
At this time, the mud monkey outside shouted: "Li Daxing, when are we leaving?" It will soon be dark, and my dog is a patchwork from the village, and I am afraid that when it gets dark, they will not be able to find their way back. ”
Li Xueying thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go back first, I'm here to burn incense." I didn't want to go back so early, you can pick me up tomorrow during the day. ”
Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his voice and said: "Donor, the poor monk has a small temple, and I am afraid that there is no place for you to stay overnight at night." Moreover, we don't leave guests here, that's the rule. ”
Li Xueying's beautiful eyes were bright, and she asked rhetorically: "New Year's Eve, don't you stay up late?" In my hometown, I stayed up Chinese New Year's Eve and didn't sleep all night. If you don't sleep, you don't count as a nightstay, right? It's a break in your rules, right? ”
Fang Zheng was speechless for a while......
Then Li Xueying said with a bit of pleading: "Please, I really don't want to go back." You're going to let me hide here, please, please......"
Seeing Li Xueying's big watery eyes, raising her little hand, and her cute appearance, Fang Zheng sighed.
It's really not a bad rule to stay up all night without sleeping.
So Fang Zheng said to the mud monkey: "Master Hou, you go back." Tomorrow the poor monk will send them out. ”
"Well, it's much easier for you to send than for me. My dogs are really unprofessional, if it's okay, I'll go first. "The mud monkeys are also rushing back for the New Year.
Fang Zheng turned around and shouted, "Pure heart, don't cook yet, send Master Hou back." I'm afraid he won't find his way. ”
Red Boy said, "Master, I don't cook, so who does?" ”
Fang Zheng was just about to say that I would do it, but he heard Li Xueying say: "I'll do it!" ”
"You?" Fang Zheng, Red Boy, and Mud Monkey looked at Li Xueying in surprise at the same time.
Fang Zheng said: "Donor, are you sure?" Poor monks, there is no gas stove to use. ”
Li Xueying raised her head slightly: "Who do you look down on?" When I wasn't a star, I lived in the village. I've been cooking for more than ten years, I won't understand? ”
The mud monkey muttered, "I'm a good girl, an international star cooking...... Abbot Fangzheng, why don't I leave either? ”
"Woo Woo ......"
There was a dog barking outside, and Fang Zheng said: "You better go, otherwise those dogs will be gone." ”
The mud monkey scratched his head helplessly and turned to say goodbye.
Seeing the mud monkeys, red children and others leave, the sun also fell at this moment.
Zizizi......
"What sound?" Li Xueying asked subconsciously.
Fang Zheng pointed ahead and said, "It's them." ”
The next moment, the snow was arched open one by one, and the snow bags broke, and blood-red flowers broke through the snow, swaying and blooming with the wind......
In an instant, a sea of flowers appeared in front of Li Xueying.
At the end of the sea of flowers on the other side was a snow-white desert, but from this angle, you could not see it, only a sea of red flowers swaying in the wind. At this time, a large, round moon slowly rises from the horizon, and at first glance, it seems to rise from the end of a sea of flowers.
Although the moon on the fifteenth is not the roundest, it is still very bright, very big, and beautiful!
The silver moonlight fell on the sea of flowers, and the silver and blood red blended together, and the red faded a lot, turning crimson, just like this New Year, a fiery red.
"It's so beautiful......" Li Xueying sighed.
Fangzheng didn't feel much, after all, he watched it every day.
"Wow, beautiful!"
The squirrel poked its head out of the sea of flowers, and just saw a pair of beautiful people standing in front of the temple, by the sea of flowers.
One is dressed in white and the other is dressed in red down jackets.
One is handsome, the other is beautiful.
Coupled with the temple and Bodhi tree in the back, it is like a picture scroll, beautiful.
The squirrel couldn't help muttering: "It's more worthy of our temple to be changed to Lanruo Temple......"
Fang Zheng didn't hear this, otherwise he would have to give him two brains.
……
In the kitchen, of course, Founder can't let guests cook, so he is ready to do it himself.
As a result, he hadn't done it yet, Li Xueying had already come over with Chai He, and then pushed away the square, skillfully used pine seeds as an introduction, lit some small branches, and then gradually added some larger wood while blowing wind in the stove pit.
Fang Zheng was speechless for a while looking at Li Xueying's skillful skills from the side, but he didn't plan to fight with Li Xueying.
People are voluntary, and they are not forced by him, so what is there to be embarrassed about.
Pour water and brush the pot to start cooking......
"What kind of rice is this? It's big, it's so bright?! Li Xueying looked at Jingmi and asked Fang Zheng in surprise.
Fang Zheng said: "Jingmi, a temple specialty of the poor monk, is the only one, and there is no other semicolon." ”
"Really?" Li Xueying's impression of Fang Zheng now has changed to a tease with a mouth full of running trains, so she clearly expressed doubts about his words.
Fang Zheng didn't bother to explain, but replied affirmatively: "Of course it's true." ”
The rice is in the pot, steaming here, and Li Xueying has already opened the noodle pocket and started to mix the noodles.
Fang Zheng looked at Li Xueying in surprise, and Li Xueying said, "What are you looking at?" Don't you eat dumplings during the New Year? ”
Of course Fangzheng wants to eat dumplings, otherwise he wouldn't have bought flour and came back, but he didn't expect Li Xueying to be so active.
But he still didn't stop it, Li Xueying and noodles, he pulled a large piece of white jade cabbage leaves, and then used a finger of the Zen master to teach him as if to start mixing dumpling filling.
It didn't take long for the dumpling filling to be done, and the noodles over there were also reconciled, and the two began to cooperate in making dumplings.
At this time, Xiao Liu finished wandering around the temple and looked for it all the way.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw Li Xueying rolling up her sleeves and sitting on a stool with Fang Zheng, making dumplings on the stove.
Fang is rolling the dough, she is in charge of the bag, and the two cooperate with each other is called a tacit understanding.
"I'll take it, my princess will make dumplings with you......" Before he could finish speaking, a monkey passed by and dragged her away with her mouth covered.
The squirrel and the salted fish hid in the corner, and the squirrel said, "Do you think Master can get off the order this time?" ”
Salted fish said: "In my opinion, it's no show." ”
"Why?" The squirrel was puzzled.
Salted fish said: "Why? Because I didn't have a crush on her! As an old man in the family, I didn't like it, and they still think about it? Haven't you heard of your parents' orders and matchmakers' words? Oops? Where are you going? I'm not allowed to tell Master what I just said......"
……
"What's hanging on your door?" Li Xueying suddenly pointed to the hanging money at the gate and asked.
Fang Zheng looked at Li Xueying: "You don't know? ”
Li Xueying shook her head: "We don't stick this." ”
Fang Zheng said: "This is hanging money." ”
"Hanging money?" Li Xueying still didn't understand.
When it comes to these folk customs, Founder comes to the spirit. He may not have gone to school much, but the Zen master taught him all about this kind of things.
"Hanging money, it is said that it is the same as firecrackers, it is to drive away the monster year, hugging is to scare "Nian" with sound, and "hanging money" is to stimulate Nian's eyes with color.
Of course, this is just a legend, and it's hard to say whether that's the case or not.
However, as far as I know, hanging money first originated in the Tang and Song dynasties. During the Tang and Song dynasties, people used silver foil and Luo Cai to cut ornaments or small flags, wear them on their heads or tie them under flowers, to celebrate the arrival of spring, and give them to each other...... Later, people enlarged the bata and used it on the lintel to ward off evil spirits on the day of the beginning of spring. ”
Li Xueying said: "Really? You don't have any, do you? ”
Fang Zheng said with a smile: "When did the poor monk talk nonsense? There is evidence for this.
Wu Zimu of the Southern Song Dynasty recorded in "Dream Lianglu": "The New Year's Day is in you...... The market buys tin to beat the spring flags, and Pepsi auspicious Huer, in order to hang at the door on New Year's Day, which is an auspicious omen for the New Year. ”
Isn't this similar to the money we put on the line?
In the Qing Dynasty, the money was officially formed, and the Qing Dynasty Tianjin poet Zhou Baoshan wrote a popular poem for it: "First paste the door note and hang the money, and remove the gold and red paper to write the Spring Festival couplets; The bamboo pole is tightly tied to the front broom, and the house is swept and the window is counted as the New Year. ”
The Qing Dynasty's Fucha Dunchong's "Yanjing Chronicles" also made a detailed annotation for it: "Hanging a thousand, engraved on the red paper with auspicious words, the long ruler has a hurricane, pasted in front of the door, and the peach charm shines together." There are eight immortal figures on it, which are hung in front of the Buddha. It is used by many households. Its yellow paper is three inches long, and the red paper is more than an inch long, and it is a small day to hang thousands, which is also used in the market. ”
Don't look unconvinced, you can go back and check and find out, the poor monk doesn't lie about this. ”
"So you mean, you lied about something else?" Li Xueying seized the loophole in Fang Zheng's words, and looked at Fang Zheng with a pair of eyes as if a child had found something interesting.
Fang Zheng immediately diverted the topic and said: "There is another reason for people's love for hanging money, that is, the word "money" in its name, hanging them under the eaves in front of the door, indicating that in the new year, the wealth will roll in."
Eldest sister, don't look at the poor monk like this, okay?
Poor monks are also human beings, and occasionally lie, but poor monks are all white lies! ”
Li Xueying retracted her gaze with satisfaction: "I believe this sentence." ”
Fang Zheng was depressed for a while, and he said his feelings for a long time, but Li Xueying didn't believe it at all.
Li Xueying saw Fang Zheng's depressed appearance, and said with a smile: "I also believe in the matter of hanging money." ”
Fang Zheng felt a lot more comfortable at this time.
The two chatted happily, but Xiao Liu is very unhappy now.
In the backyard, on the edge of the bamboo forest, she was trapped on the bamboo by a monkey: "Monkey, you are too much!" You're kidnapping, you know? Kidnapping is a crime, you know!? ”
The monkey sat on the side, squinting at her, as if to say, "It's kidnapping, but that law says that monkey kidnapping is also a crime?" ”
When he was having dinner, Fang Zheng found that Xiao Liu looked at him as if he was looking at the enemy who killed his father, so he almost rushed over and strangled him.
He was inexplicable at this, he felt that he hadn't offended Xiao Liu much.
