Chapter 19: Three Don't Be Little Monks

The willow forest along the Luohe River was "shaved bald" overnight, and Taoliu Lane set off a heated discussion early in the morning.

In the face of this dilapidated scene, most of the people in the city were indignant.

Occasionally, a few old men who beat their chests and feet witnessed this scene, sighing incessantly at the ruins of the riverbank, and their eyes were full of regret and emotion.

"The waterfront of the Luohe River was rebuilt in the south of Taizu's tour, and a hundred acres of weeping willows were planted on the other bank, and it has been three hundred years...... It has only been three years since the establishment of the new capital...... It's only been three years! ”

Lao Xiucai was really heartbroken when he saw it, so he could only scold a few words of "kill a thousand knives and get out".

As for whether scolding can vent anger, it is estimated that only those who are comfortable with scolding have a deep understanding.

There are several big families living in the depths of Peach Lane, and the old ladies of the families who have the right to speak are the masters who cough in the court and tremble in the imperial city.

But this time, the scenery of the house was destroyed overnight, and these powerful people who had always been upholding justice were surprisingly unanimous, not only dumb, but also deaf to the riverbank scene.

I saw that none of the heads of these wealthy families had investigated this matter, and it was probably already Chu that they did not dare to provoke the forces of resentment, and in the entire Luoyang City, there was only the Divine General's Mansion.

In a fit of rage, he destroyed the willow forests along the Luo River, this kind of anger venting method is very in line with the style of the prince of the Divine General's Mansion, although I don't have full evidence, the attitude of several big families in the depths of Peach Lane is enough to explain everything.

It had been less than two hours since I got back to Peach Willow Lane when I woke up with a noise outside the door.

I dragged my sleepy body to push the door and stretched, and as I expected, the people in the alley saw the miserable and dilapidated scene along the Luo River in the early morning, and sure enough, everyone was furious, and they hurled insults at the south bank with pity.

"Such evil deeds have lost their conscience!"

The wood of the hug is born at the end of the millennium.

Luoyang as the new capital of this dynasty, but three years, the people in the city in their leisure time to travel to the place is not much, now the Luohe willow forest is destroyed, where in the future there is a beautiful tryst, a good place for relatives and friends to enjoy?

Seeing this situation, even if I feel ashamed, I can't run to tell everyone, it was Lu Yao who took me to stir up the Luohe Poetry Society, which angered the prince of the Divine General's Mansion and the prince, so that this destruction of the riverbank willow forest vented his anger, right?

I pushed the door out, and just after stretching my waist, I saw a little monk holding a copper bowl from a distance, and he was going from house to house.

Every morning, if there is no wind or rain in the sky, the three little monks will definitely go out of the temple to turn their fate.

The little monk's name is not stupid, he is about ten years old, with a round head, a round face, a thin physique, fortunately, his eyebrows are delicate, very pleasing, every time he goes out of the temple, he will not return empty-handed.

There are three reasons why the little monk is called the "three don'ts".

Because the old monk said that the Zen monk could not explain that "the woman under the mountain is like a tiger", so the little monk Huayuan whenever he met a female benefactor, he avoided it and refused to give alms, which is a don't.

Secondly, the first generation of Buddha Buddha

It is not said that the Zen master ordered the little monk to turn into a fate, and only allowed to accept vegetarian food, and not to collect money from it, so money is not three.

When my mother was alive, I believed in Buddhism and worshiped Buddha, I didn't have any faith, and I didn't worship the gods of Buddha and Taoism, but since I came to Taoliu Lane, as long as the little monk came here, but where there are edible things in the kitchen, I am not stingy.

When the little monk came up to me, I put two pancakes into his bronze bowl.

"Thank you, Lord Xu!"

The little monk took the pancake and bowed to me with his right hand on his chest, which was very polite.

I saw that the indignant crowd outside the alley would not disperse for a short time, so I asked the little beggar, "Don't you be stupid, little master, have there been any other Buddhist monks or ascetic Buddhas in Luoyang who have been placing orders in the temple recently?" ”

I asked casually, but I didn't expect the little monk to look at me with a little surprise, and then said lightly: "Not long ago, a fat-headed and big-eared Zen monk came, he wanted to place an order in the temple, and the master agreed, but this person drank wine and ate meat and had a wild personality, and repeatedly broke the rules and precepts of the Enlightenment, and was blasted out by the master in a fit of anger the day before yesterday!" ”

Thinking of the dog's inference, I was not surprised, but I felt that the dog seemed to be drunk all day long, but in fact it was not as unbearable as imagined, at least in terms of inference.

"People in the world often compare fat-headed and big-eared monks with Taoist priests with fairy wind and bones, and always feel that we monks eat fasting and chant Buddha on the surface, but we don't know how arrogant and lascivious we are behind our backs...... Master said that it was all such impure monks who had ruined the image of Buddhism. ”

I touched the bald head of the little monk, and said in a calm tone: "There are also Sven scum among scholars, and there are also villains who enter the Demon Dao to help and abuse them, and the three religions of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism are not all good people, nor are they all scum who ignore the rules and precepts. ”

The little monk nodded in agreement, and praised me like honey: "Among the donors I know, you are the most talkative and the most reasonable!" ”

I waved my hand again and again to show that I didn't dare, and said with a smile: "But if I give two pancakes, you will flatter me, and the monks can't speak!" ”

The little monk said seriously: "Master Xu Shi is the most reasonable person besides my master......"

Facing the praise of the little monk full of innocence, I was a little embarrassed for a while, and I had a little smile on my face.

Seeing that my eyes narrowed into a straight line with a smile, the little monk grinned at me and seriously proposed: "Master Xu Shi is the person who has the fate of Buddha that the master often says, why don't you go back to the temple with me to shave your degree, so that we will have three monks in Dongtuo Temple in the future!" ”

Hearing this, the smile on my face could no longer be suppressed, so I could only hurriedly refuse: "I am not clean, and I don't have the idea of falling into an empty door......

I have already experienced the life and death of people in the world, and I have not yet felt the love and hatred, and I will definitely not choose to become a monk.

The little monk looked disappointed, scratched his bald head and kept regretting: "Xu Shi's heart is cultivated, and he is most suitable for Zen meditation, maybe he can be molded into a golden body like Mani Patriarch in the future." ”

Cultivating a golden body has always been the highest pursuit of the practice of Buddhism, cultivating a golden body, ranking among the Buddhas, and preaching the Dharma to the world, and never falling into reincarnation and suffering.

The believers of Buddhism have a deep belief in this obsession, and I am not good at hitting the self-confidence of the little monk, just like the mud bodhisattva who spreads rice into mussel beads, guards the Qingping stone bridge and a jiazi, participates in meditation day and night, and has not cultivated the golden body among the Buddhas of the Great Compassion Temple.

How difficult it is to cultivate the golden body, in the Nine Heavens Floating Pagoda of the Great Compassion Temple, there are only 30 Buddhist masters who can be followed, if the golden body is as easy as chopping vegetables and cutting melons, the world's ascetic monks are not as many as two-legged toads?

In order to dispel the little monk's persistence, I also made my attitude clear: "If all the good men in the world go to Zen and enlightenment, who will farm?" Who upholds justice? And who rules the world? ”

The little monk kept scratching his head when I asked, but he couldn't answer, and muttered to himself: "This...... This ......"

The little monk who didn't know how to use the Bodhisattva's heart and thunder didn't persuade me to become a monk again, and it was very interesting to see how he squeaked and couldn't answer.

Probably because of the noise outside, Lu Yao pushed open the courtyard door with a tired face at this time, yawned, and stretched his waist and said: "Xu Changqing has been appointed as the main book in front of the account, and there is still a lack of a national teacher in my courtyard, or you will invite the Zen master to come over and be my national teacher?" ”

Lu Yao joked, then bent over, reached out and touched the little monk's round little head, and added: "I can't say that the Zen master should be a big national teacher, you should be a small national teacher...... What do you think? ”

When Lu Yao pushed open the courtyard door, the big yellow dog was lying in the courtyard lazily basking in the sun, and the little monk glanced at the rhubarb who was named "pioneer", and said with a look of disgust: "I don't want it!" ”

Lu Yao, who was rejected on the spot, turned pale and said unhappily: "If the Zen master didn't know that you flirted with the Fuji girl in Peach Lane, would he be so angry that he vomited blood and died?" ”

"Why do you go down the mountain every day and keep saying, 'The woman under the mountain is a tiger'...... The little tigress is not a tiger! ”

Saying that, Lu Yao continued to taunt and said, "I see...... You are six impure! ”

The little monk's face turned red, and he argued: "No! ”

Lu Yao saw that the little monk was in his arms, and said with a wicked smile: "Don't admit it yet!" ”

The little monk was angry and argued: "The second girl is not a tiger!" ”

Lu Yao asked rhetorically: "Isn't she a woman?" ”

The little monk was asked and huddled together, muttering in embarrassment: "This ...... Well...... This ......"

Just as the little monk was struggling with this question and was about to rack his brains to organize a counterattack, there was a burst of surprise and curiosity from the noisy verbal criticism on the riverbank.

"Look, there's a man in front of him with a sword hanging over his head, and he's kowtowing three times to the willow stump!"
