Chapter 479: Temple [1]
"Yanhua Temple! It looks like it's still an ancient temple, and this plaque is enough for history. "Xiaoyao is the first time to come here, so naturally I will knock on everything, and I want to visit it carefully.
The area of this Yanhua Temple is also very large, larger than the village just now, but half of it belongs to no man's land, all of which have been dilapidated, and only maintain some necessary repairs.
When Yanhua Temple used to be at the peak of incense, it was often overcrowded, but in the past few hundred years, Yanhua Temple has not had the original grandeur, although the incense is still good, but it is much worse than the heyday.
Of course, this is actually nothing, there are still monks and pilgrims here!
Xiaoyao doesn't care if there are still people in it, he is interested in visiting the whole temple, and no one stops him, because he doesn't care where he goes, although it is said that it is a no-man's land, but it is not a forbidden place.
"Hey, here'......"
Xiaoyao found something in a hall, this is a hall where there are no pilgrims to come, but the temple where the monks in the temple continue to light incense, which is dedicated to a Buddha, not that this Buddha has attracted Xiaoyao's attention, but in this hall, there seem to be some secrets.
"Donor, why are you here alone, no one has been here for a long time, if you come to worship, then please put incense on the pillar." At this time, a monk appeared and said to Xiaoyao, and at the same time, Xiaoyao was unable to continue to explore what he had discovered.
"Well, when you come, you will put incense on the pillar. Xiaoyao took the incense, lit it, bowed, inserted it into the incense burner, and then withdrew.
This secret doesn't seem to want outsiders to know, so there is no need to investigate it, everyone will have their own secrets. And temples will have the same will.
Xiaoyao walked around again, but at this time, he felt as if he was being targeted, and there were people staring at him everywhere, but this stare didn't seem to have appeared, and he had been in the dark, if it wasn't for his keen senses, he wouldn't even know that he was being targeted.
At this time, Xiaoyao also pretended not to know, and at the same time did not stop sightseeing because of this. He still looked everywhere, as long as it was not locked, he had seen it, and even the tower inside had climbed over, looking down on the entire Yanhua Temple.
Such a natural expression of carefree. Let the person who is marking people feel that they have been discovered, in fact, the people who are staring also feel that it is impossible to be discovered, Xiaoyao is just a king-level little person, and he is too far away, he can kill Xiaoyao with one finger, and it is almost impossible to be discovered.
Xiaoyao also knows that this staring is not simple, and this Yanhua Temple does not seem to be a simple temple. But I didn't care too much, Yanhua Temple has been inherited for so many years, and it has experienced glory, so it is normal to have a little heritage.
At last. Xiaoyao began to go to the area where the incense continued, and at this time, the staring disappeared, and there was no need to care about it when it got there.
At first, Xiaoyao did not go to the area where the incense continued. It's because those young masters and young ladies were worshipping the gods and Buddhas before, and he didn't know how long it would take his turn. So it's staggered.
Now there are a lot fewer people, almost no one can be seen, and the leisurely visit everywhere smoothly, without obstacles, no need to crowd people.
"Le Xiaoyao, I finally found you. Luo Baochai appeared in front of Xiaoyao's eyes again.
"What's the matter?" Xiaoyao was a little puzzled, why do you keep coming to me for something, I don't know you well.
"Of course I'm looking for you to have dinner together, I didn't finish it at noon, and we're going to be together in the evening!" Luo Baochai said, looking very serious, as if she had said that what she wanted to do must be completed.
"You're still thinking about it, it's nothing. Xiaoyao didn't expect Luo Baochai to care about this matter, a little surprised.
"No, you have to! I'll follow you now, it doesn't matter if you're not with everyone, as long as you're with me. Luo Baochai said, still so serious.
"I ate with everyone, but I just didn't catch it at noon, if I am here, I will definitely eat the food here, I will not miss it. Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"Well, the food here is delicious, and we've asked them to prepare a dozen tables for us, so there shouldn't be a problem. Luo Baochai said.
"Before eating, I'll go shopping, you and your little sister go and have fun, people don't seem to like being around me very much. Xiaoyao looked at the little sisters who were a little far away, and smiled, how could he not see what people meant, he was a family member, and he was good at observing words and feelings, and sometimes he just pretended not to know.
"No, I'm afraid you'll be gone again, and although they don't like you very much, they won't hate you too much. To be honest, you're also a little angry, this time it's a blind date party, and it's for you to find your other half, so now you're doing this...... Hey......" Luo Baochai said with a little regret, she regarded Xiaoyao as her own person, and they were all members of the Luo family.
"I'm acting normally......" said casually.
"You also call it normal, ...... wearing such clothes," Luo Baochai said angrily.
"Isn't this coming to spring, and now it's mountaineering, so this kind of clothing is suitable. "Xiaoyao is still like that, which makes Luo Baochai very powerless.
"This is not just a spring trip, do you know that the Buddha has to rely on gold!" Luo Baochai said in this environment.
"Then do you know that the Bodhisattva in front of you said that you have to let go of the appearance, even if you change your appearance, you can still benefit sentient beings. Xiaoyao said nonchalantly.
"The Buddha said to follow the local customs. Luo Baochai said.
Although this sentence should have originally come from Taoism, but the allusion came from Buddhism, many times, Buddhism and Taoism are not clear, but no one cares too much about this matter, the meaning is almost on the line.
“...... Do you know what the original allusion is to follow the local customs?"
"I don't know, what is it?" Luo Baochai asked, shaking his head.
"If you know and can do as the locals do, I can only say that I admire you. Xiaoyao said.
"What is it, you say!"
"In the past, there was a place called Naked Country, and people here didn't wear clothes, that is, and then a pair of brothers came here to do business, and the younger brother said that he wanted to follow the customs of the locals, and took off his clothes to communicate with them, but the elder brother said that it was not in line with etiquette, and he would not change his etiquette because of their habits. ”
Then the younger brother was loved by the naked people and came to buy his goods, but the elder brother did not take off his clothes and blamed the locals, but the locals were disgusted by the locals, and robbed him of his goods and wanted to drive him out of the country. Then the younger brother interceded to save him from a greater disaster. After the two brothers left the naked country, the younger brother was sent off, but the elder brother was scolded. ”
When Xiaoyao said this, he suddenly asked, "Do you want to be an elder brother or a younger brother?"
"To be a younger brother, of course...... Ah, no, you're kidding me!!" Luo Baochai replied naturally at first, but then found out that something was wrong, if she was a younger brother, it would not be stripped naked, which she couldn't accept.
"Then do you still follow the local customs?" asked Xiaoyao with a smile.
"This, I ......" Luo Baochai had no way to answer, no matter how she answered, it was not good.
"It's good to follow the local customs, but it should also be within the scope of acceptance, not everything is acceptable. The above story is actually not focused on following the local customs, and there is a story later. Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"What's the story?" Luo Baochai asked, and the little sisters on the side were also a little interested at this time, and unconsciously approached Xiaoyao.
The story is that the elder brother hates the younger brother and wants to be inseparable from the younger brother, but the younger brother has been helping the elder brother in order to teach people to learn the gentleness and forbearance of the younger brother. Xiaoyao continued.
"I see, you know a lot. Luo Baochai said.
"This is nature, I know a lot, and the Dharma is also very profound. Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"I just praised you, and you started blowing again, which is also a big problem for you!" Luo Baochai said angrily.
Xiaoyao shook his head with a smile and said: "There is no such thing, it is blowing, there is real material, it is just talking about a fact." ”
"Okay, I'll test you, and I'll say that this Buddhist family ......" Luo Baochai began to look for questions, all of them were looking for some questions on the spot, or asking the origin of the Buddha in the hall, or the origin of some Buddhist words, etc., as long as she saw something, she asked anything.
As a result, she and her little sisters were all stunned, because they found that Xiaoyao knew everything, and he could tell him whatever he asked, and he could also tell what books and allusions came from.
Could it be that he used to be a monk? Otherwise, how could he know so much about Buddhism?
And if he didn't blow it in this matter, then what about the previous things, didn't he blow it either? This can't be, those things seem to be blowing, perhaps, he just happened to be bumped into by this matter that he is good at.
At the same time, when Xiaoyao talked about Buddhism, they suddenly felt that Xiaoyao seemed to be a monk who was proficient in Buddhism, and even felt that the Buddha's light appeared behind Xiaoyao, and they actually felt that their state of mind seemed to have improved a lot.
This, this seems a little too incredible!
At this time, they seemed to have become much more pleasing to the eye, no longer like before, and when they were talking about these Buddhist things just now, they also asked this and that, and they were no longer in a state where they didn't say anything to Xiaoyao.
And the more they asked, the more they sighed at the profundity of the Dharma, this kid can simply be the presiding abbot here, and he can open a dojo.
Of course, the premise is that others know his Dharma level, but I guess very few people will know about it.
