Feeding tiger trade pigeons is worth it (Chapter 178)
Monk Zhiqian was speechless when he saw that Tang Yue was already laughing, so he had to receive: "The corpse king is a Buddha, and he once made a wish to save all living beings, and this eagle is also a living being, this is the difficulty." ”
Xingyun also wanted to know the outcome of this story, so he asked: "This corpse king wants to save the pigeon, but can't the eagle die, so isn't it?" At the same time, he secretly said in his heart: "This allusion is said by Master Guangxiang, it should refer to the sacrifice of his body, I am afraid that the corpse king will also give up his life." ”
Monk Zhiqian replied: "Senior Brother Yun guessed well, the corpse king thought about it at this time, so he cut off his own meat and fed it to the eagle, but the eagle said again: I don't want much, as long as there is as much meat as the pigeon, so the corpse king took a scale, put the pigeon on one side, and put the cut meat on the other side."
But the flesh of the king of Ren was cut off, and it was not as heavy as the pigeon, so he had to endure the pain, and with all his strength, he put himself on the weighing pan. ”
When the little girl heard this, she covered her mouth in shock.
Monk Zhiqian continued: "At this time, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the gods of heaven were moved by the good deeds of the corpse king and greatly appreciated. The eagle and the dove were also transformed by Shakti and his ministers, in order to test the sincerity and confidence of the corpse king, and finally the emperor used his divine power to restore the corpse king's body. ”
After listening to the allusion, Chang Qinshi breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that the eagle and the pigeon are fake." But he was puzzled: "The corpse king cut the meat and fed it to the eagle, as if he had saved two lives, but he himself had to lose one life because of this, and there were three lives, even if the corpse king did not save the pigeon, wouldn't he have two lives left?" This comes and goes, is it redundant? ”
Monk Zhiqian heard that it was a lot, the original intention of this story was just to persuade people to be kind, and it was just a metaphor, but the little girl was so serious that it was difficult for Monk Zhiqian to answer for a while.
I had to think about it: "From the poor monk's point of view, the life in this allusion is not the most important, the important thing is a heart word, and this is everyone's belief, some things, maybe in the eyes of others are ridiculous and worthless, but in the eyes of others, it is not necessarily the same." Just like Zhu Ge of the King Kong Gate, he defeated Chen Mo for the first time, in fact, he was already successful, but why did he go to Songshan Mountain to challenge again? That's faith. Although the reputation of his master is related to him, ordinary people will not think that it can be important enough to exchange his life, but Zhu Ge thinks so, this is also a belief.
There are many people who admire Zhu Ge, but naturally some people think that he is not worth it, and even ridicule him, but for Zhu Ge, the thoughts of others are others, as long as he sticks to his beliefs, and the same is true for the King of Corpse. ”
Listening to Monk Zhiqian's explanation, Xingyun thought of the night talk with Zhu Ge when he was in Nanyang, but he had a deeper understanding of his mood.
"You're serious." Suddenly, a voice came from the wall.
Everyone looked over and saw a little monk jumping onto the courtyard wall and squatting, not very old, carrying a broom, and said: "It's just a story, although it is to persuade people to be kind, but the content is very inappropriate." "Listening to the little monk, that voice is naturally his.
Everyone thought in their hearts: "This little monk does not look like a Buddhist family at all, but he wore a monk's robe and had a bald head, and then looked at Monk Zhiqian, and saw that he was also puzzled, so he knew that this must be a monk from Shaolin Temple." ”
"Amitabha." Monk Zhiqian whispered at this time: "This junior brother, why is the story of the corpse king inappropriate?" I hope to give me some advice. ”
Zhiqian monk sincere to the Buddha, at this time I heard that this little monk was saying that the allusion of the corpse king cutting meat and pigeons was inappropriate, and his heart was naturally quite dissatisfied, but I don't know if this little monk really has his own opinions, or is still nonsense, so he opened his mouth to ask.
The little monk was still squatting on the wall, patted his clothes and feet and asked, "The corpse king is a good king, and the people are rich under his rule, right?" ”
Monk Zhiqian didn't know what the little monk meant by asking, but it was indeed written in the story, so he nodded: "Yes, the corpse king is wise and peaceful, and governs his country in an orderly manner." ”
The little monk laughed: "Then let me ask you again, the pigeon is a life, the eagle is a life, and the corpse king is also a life?" ”
Monk Zhiqian was suspicious: "What do you mean by this? All beings are equal, and this is naturally three lives. “
The little monk smiled and waved his hand: "I'm not saying whether their lives are equal, but I'm asking you, the corpse king is also a life?" ”
Monk Zhiqian frowned and said nothing, if this little monk was not messing around, then what did he mean by asking?
Chang Tianci on the side suddenly smiled slightly, as if he knew the answer, and turned his head to look at Monk Zhiqian to see how he replied.
The monk Zhiqian was thinking hard, and when he saw that Chang Tianci seemed to be a bamboo in his chest, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he darkened: "He asked me if the corpse king is also a life?" That naturally means that the king of the corpse does not know about one life, or that his own life is implicated in other people, and he emphasizes that the people under the rule of the king of the corpse are rich ......, so it is. ”
At the moment, he was solemn: "Senior brother, but did you say that the life and death of the corpse king is related to the people under his rule?" Since the little monk was not joking, and he seemed to be proficient in Buddhism, he naturally became serious.
The little monk laughed, "Your mind is not bad, the king of the corpse is a good king, if he feeds himself to the eagle in order to save the pigeon, what will happen to the people under his rule?" If the king who succeeds to the throne is a faint king, the life of the people under his rule will naturally be miserable, if the king who succeeds to the throne is a tyrant, I am afraid that the lives of the people under his rule will not be guaranteed, which is more important, a pigeon or a country? ”
Monk Zhiqian couldn't help but open his mouth and receive: "A pigeon and a country, naturally the people of that country are more important. ”
The little monk played with the boss's broom in his hand, and laughed: "I didn't see the disciple of the Vajra Gate with my own eyes, otherwise I would have knocked on his head, if he didn't fight so hard, with his qualifications, he would definitely be able to bring greater benefits to his master, not just restore the reputation, now that he is gone, although the reputation of the Vajra Gate has also been restored, but if there are no masters in that sect, I'm afraid it will still be a joke in a few years." Therefore, his method of sacrificing himself seems tragic, but it is stupid and tight, you must know that you can stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of running out of firewood. ”
The words of the little monk are another truth, everyone can't help but look at him with admiration, who would have thought that the little monk at such an age could say such a thing, what is even more rare is that his understanding of the classics is not to copy the predecessors, but to have his own opinions.
It's just that although what he said is reasonable, words like "stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood" came from the mouth of a little monk, but it always showed a little nondescript, and everyone secretly thought: "In Shaolin, what kind of master should be taught such a disciple?" ”
At this moment, the little monk arrived again: "I'm late, I didn't see the competition just now, do you know where Chen Mo went?" ”
The young men were sitting, and a little monk was squatting against the wall with a broom, and the scene was quite strange.
Wen Renqing was a little unhappy, because the monk was condescending, which made him very uncomfortable, so he came: "How do you know that Chen Mo is not among us?" ”
The little monk looked disdainful: "Are you stupid? In addition to the old Taoist priests and bald monks in Taoist robes, there are women and children here. As he spoke, he pointed at Yuan Qing: "In the end, there is this person left, you see that he looks calm and relaxed, will it be Chen Mo?" He said that what the bald monk said was smooth.
Xingyun was stunned, and his heart was like: "Could it be that he classified me among children?" ”
Xiao Kang and Wen Renqing were said to be old Taoist priests by the little monk, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly, one of them is twenty-seven, and the other is twenty-six, where is the old man? However, compared with the little monk, he is indeed old, and Wen Renqing can't help but scold himself for talking too much at this time.
Xingyun was curious: "You always said that you were going to find Chen Mo, what do you want to do?" ”
The little monk looked at Xia Xingyun and smiled: "I'm going to use this broom to knock on his head, he will be embarrassed to the point of disgrace, and he will disgrace me, it's really unbelievable!" If you don't knock on his head, you won't get rid of your hatred! ”
Wen Renqing didn't control his mouth after all, and he was strange: "What face did Chen Mo lose to you?" ”
The little monk's mouth pouted: "The people outside put him on a par with me, if he loses face, do you think I will also lose face?" ”
As soon as everyone heard it, they understood that this little monk must also be one of the three wisdoms of Shaolin, and looking at him at his age, he thought that he was the youngest of the three wisdoms.
Monk Zhiqian said at this time: "This must be Senior Brother Huishu, right?" We didn't know the whereabouts of Senior Brother Chen, but we saw him pick up his sword and go to the temple. Then he said, "Can Senior Brother Huishu come down and talk about it?" Zhiqian still has some Buddhist ideals to consult. ”
The little monk Huishu shook his head, "I don't have time to grind with you, you are as boring as Senior Brother Jian, you are boring to death when you talk, I have to go find that Chen Mo." With that, he flashed and disappeared behind the wall.
