Chapter 23 Human nature is like this
Bajie said: "Don't believe it, let me tell you a story, there are three brothers who share apples, and the eldest sees that the third is yellow and thin, so he gives his own apples to the third to eat." When the third child received the apple, he was respectful and thanked the boss for bending over.
The next day, the three brothers divided the apples again, and the eldest gave his own to the third brother. On the third day, too......
After half a month like this, when I divided the apples again, this time I didn't wait for the boss to send the apples, and the third child took the initiative to reach out to the boss to ask for it.
The boss hesitated, but gave him the apple.
A month later, the third child took the eldest apple directly from the plate.
At this time, the eldest asked the third child to get back his apple and gave it to the second child.
When the third child saw it, he said angrily to the boss: "I will never be a brother with you again!" ”
The so-called "fighting rice to raise grace, bearing rice to support hatred".
Human nature is like this, if you help someone without any pay, and help him regularly, he will feel that your help is justified. ”
When the daughter king heard this, he said, "I still can't accept it, let's wait and see." ”
"You're not good yet? Look how I do it! Bajie smiled mysteriously and shouted outside the door:
"Why haven't you cooked yet? I'm hungry! ”
"Buddha, don't be impatient, it'll be fine right away! Right away! Someone outside the door responded.
"Even if there is no food, it is dark this day, hurry up and hold the lamp!" Bajie shouted again.
The daughter king was speechless: "Do you really think you are an uncle?" ”
When the Chen family heard this, they didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent a few small servants to light candles and send them to the room.
The little servants were just about to set the candles, and suddenly looked up and saw the appearance of Bajie, so panicked that they lost the candles, sat down on the ground, suddenly closed the middle door, and shouted inside: "The monster is coming!" Youkai are coming! Help me! ”
Shouting and running out.
The daughter king smiled helplessly, picked up the candle, cast a spell and lit the fire, pulled over a chair, and invited Sanzang to sit on it, and he and Bajie sat on both sides.
At this time, a big man broke in and said, "What kind of demon is coming to my house in the dark?" ”
Hearing this, Old Man Chen hurriedly got up and ran over and said, "Don't shout, it's not an evil demon, it's an Arhat who learned scriptures from the Eastern Tang Dynasty." Although the apprentice looks fierce, he is kind and wants to help us save the child. ”
Old man Chen drove away the big man, and no one was waiting for tea, so he called a few times before a few servants came in trembling.
Bajie asked, "Old man, what are they doing here?" ”
Old man Chen said: "Let them fasting to serve the Buddha." ”
Bajie said: "Just a few of them serve? ”
Old man Chen said: "The meaning of the Buddha is too little, or I am looking for a few people and getting together eight people." ”
Bajie said: "Who do these eight people serve? ”
Old man Chen said: "Serve the four Buddhas." ”
Bajie said: "Not enough, my master, it is enough to serve alone; The handsome man in white was born, and only two people were needed to serve; The fairy, for three people; Well, I'm big, and I have to be served by 20 people. ”
Old man Chen said: "It's the little old man who didn't think about it. I'm going to find someone. ”
Bajie said: "No hurry, no hurry. As long as you are not in a hurry, I am not in a hurry to sacrifice to the river god! ”
Old man Chen said: "Why don't you hurry, why don't you hurry, I'll go." ”
After saying that, he ran out, not like an old man, and after a short while, he called out thirty or forty people to come out, all of whom stood behind Bajie.
Old man Chen came in and ordered: "You, you and you, go and serve the fairy and these two, everyone else, serve this pig Buddha!" ”
Everyone nodded yes.
At this time, the Chen family arranged a large table and three small tables in the house, and invited Sanzang and others to eat.
The servants came out in a row, some with plates of fish in one stream, first lined up with vegetarian fruits and vegetables, then noodles, rice, fresh food, and noodle soup, neatly arranged. Sanzang raised the chopstick, first recited a volume of the "Qizhai Sutra", and then began to eat.
The eight precepts did not wait for the completion of the Sanzang Sutra, took the red lacquered wooden bowl, threw a bowl of white rice, and threw it down.
The servant next to him said: "This Buddha didn't calculate, he didn't cage steamed buns, how could he cage the rice, but not stain the clothes?" ”
Bajie smiled: "I have never eaten a cage." ”
The servant said, "Why did you eat without raising your mouth?" ”
Bajie said: "I eat it clearly, I don't believe it, and I will eat it with you." ”
The servants brought another bowl and handed it to Bajie. Under the guise of the eight precepts, he dropped his mouth again.
The servants saw it and said, "Buddha! You are grinding the throat of bricks, really light and slippery! ”
After the completion of the three Tibetan scriptures, the eight precepts have passed five or six bowls, and then they raised the baskets together and ate fasting together.
Bajie doesn't care about rice, noodles, rice, and fruits, but he just loves to make a mess, and he shouts in his mouth: "Add rice!" Add rice! I still have to save your children's lives, and I have to eat enough. ”
The Chen family didn't dare to delay, and kept adding food to him. But the daughter king only took one bite, and no one paid any attention.
Everyone in the house went to serve Bajie.
The daughter king shouted: "Bajie, eat less, it is better to endure hunger in the mountain recess, and it will be half full." ”
Bajie said: "As the saying goes, if the fasting monk is not full, it is better to be buried alive." ”
The daughter king said embarrassedly: "This pig is good anywhere, but this big belly can't be full, and this time I have eaten a stone of noodle rice, five buckets of rice and a few tables of vegetarian ......."
Old man Chen waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, the Buddha eats a lot, eat hard, if you are not full, I will let people steam it again." ”
Bajie said: "Steamed again!" Steamed again! ”
Old man Chen hurriedly ran out: "Quickly make another stone of noodle rice, five buckets of rice and a few tables of vegetarian food!" ”
"Okay!"
In the middle of the day, the servants brought up the fast food again and waited for the eight precepts to eat.
Bajie ate it all in one go, and then said: "You go down, let's digest it, and help you sacrifice to the river god tomorrow." ”
Everyone smiled when they heard this, kowtowed to Bajie again and again, and then exited the house and gently closed the door.
The daughter king had a black line in his head: "They are so respectful to you, and no one asks me if I have eaten enough, and no one comes to kowtow to me!" ”
Bajie said: "See, you are too easy to talk to, and you take the initiative to help, so there is no need to scold you, because no matter what, you will go to worship the river god, and I am different, I must meet my requirements before I go." So they're just going to serve me with all their might. ”
"Hey, Amitabha." Sanzang has been watching from the sidelines and has not stopped it, and he will watch the whole process, and he is also very embarrassed in his heart.
Those who are really willing to help them become unimportant. shirked everywhere, but became a big man.
The daughter king held her cheeks and sighed: "Today can be regarded as a long insight. ”
Early in the morning of the second day, the four of them heard the noise of gongs and drums outside, and everyone in the village opened the front door and shouted: "Bring out the boys and girls!" ”
Old man Chen came to report that his daughter King and Bajie had changed their bodies, and the four descendants carried him out.
The people of Chenjiazhuang got the boys and girls, and the pigs, sheep and livestock together, noisy and shouting, until they were carried to the temple of inspiration and placed the boys and girls on the top.
The daughter king turned around and saw the incense flower candle on the table, and a golden tablet on the front, on which was written the god of the king of inspiration, and there was no other god. numerous
The letter was placed in a row, and they kowtowed upwards and said: "Grandpa Wang, this year, this month, today, Chen Cheng, the priest of Chenjiazhuang, and other believers, the year is uneven, and they strictly follow the annual regulations, and offer a boy and a virgin, and a number of pigs, sheep and livestock, and offer them to the king to enjoy, bless the wind and rain, and the five grains are abundant." ”
Congratulations, burned the paper horse, and went back to the house.
