Chapter 24: Causes
The monk laughed: "The poor monk has heard about this by chance. It is rumored that there are many sentient beings, or some of them have wisdom and life, and after long-term cultivation, they can become immortals. Among them, the shape is different, but most of them are the fastest to cultivate in the human body, according to what they say, the human body and soul are complete, which is conducive to cultivation, and my Buddhism also has six paths. Therefore, many living beings often cultivate their human bodies first, and then become immortals, but such actions against the heavens will be punished by heaven, and it will be difficult to overcome. Some creatures who have been in the world for a long time are waiting to be refined to remove the horizontal bones in their mouths, and they will find someone to ask for a proverb to seal their mouths, if they are sealed, they can block some disasters for them, and if they are degraded, the heavier the punishment will be, and the consequences will be unspeakable. However, the poor monk has never experienced it himself, and he does not dare to say the truth or falsehood. It was only then that the inspiration flashed, so that the donor replied that if it could help it, it would also be a good fate. ”
It turned out that his words almost ruined other people's cultivation, Yun Qian hurriedly asked: "Master, then why are you looking for me, if it is so important, wouldn't it be safer to ask you for a seal, I almost damaged my morality." ”
The monk shook his head and chuckled: "What Fang just said is just hearsay from the poor monks. Presumably, that Huang Xianlang was already living here to cultivate, and when he saw that the donor was gentle and modest, he wanted to take advantage of the trick and ask for the seal. The poor monk has just arrived, and his heart is unpredictable, how dare he ask for a seal at will. Suddenly, the monk's stomach gurgled, and the monk smiled bitterly: "Can the donor help the poor monk get some fasting, the poor monk's cultivation is still shallow, and some of them are not strong enough." ”
"Master, please come with me to the house and fast, I still have a lot left." Yun Qian picked up the wind lantern and invited the monk into the wooden house. On weekdays, he mainly eats vegetarian food, but at the moment he has no scruples, so he made some rice for the monks, and took a few plates of pickles and vegetables and put them on the table. Since there was no tea, a bowl of water was filled from the jar: "Don't blame the master, there are few people here, and there is no guest tea." ”
The monks combined: "The donor doesn't have to worry, the poor monks have been ascetic so far, and it is normal to sleep in the open air, but it is rare to fast like this today, how dare you covet others." So saying, he poured the rice and pickles into the bowl, soaked the water in it, got up and sat down outside the house, and began to eat it with his hands.
Yun Qian saw that he had left all the vegetables behind, so he took an insect repellent incense from the cabinet, lit it and inserted it in the soil and stone next to the monk, and sat down with him.
After the monk thanked him, Yun Qian asked, "Master, what is your Dharma name?" ”
The monk replied: "The poor monk's name is Yuan Chun, and he is a disciple of Yudian Temple. ”
"Where is Yudian Temple, I don't think I've ever heard of it." Yun Qian recalled.
The monk smiled bitterly: "The little donor does not know that it is normal, Yudian Temple is more than 10,000 miles away in the northeast of this place, it is a famous temple in the early years, the world has changed, now there are only a few Zen rooms and a stone bell left, the poor monk has been ascetic for many years, only hope that one day he can achieve positive results, rekindle the incense of this temple. ”
"Thousands of miles... Aren't you going to walk a long way every day? Yun Qian said in surprise.
The monk briefly explained: "No, although the poor monks are traveling, they still mainly go to various temples to study, ranging from a few days to a year, and it is not common to travel like this." ”
"Have you ever been to the Temple? People in our neighborhood go there to burn incense and worship the Buddha. Yun Qian asked with interest.
"I have been there, and the poor monks have been in the temple for three days and have benefited a lot."
"Master, are there any immortals in this Liankong Temple? It's the kind of master who can fly around and lift fire and ice. Yun Qian learned that Yuan Chun had been to Liankong Temple, and said the doubts that had existed in his heart for a long time.
The monk was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "If the donor is said to be a flying immortal who is in the world, there must be no one in the Liankong Temple." However, when the poor monk traveled, he heard such rumors, and even had the honor to see a magical power, but this person was amazing, and the poor monk chased it for three days, and finally failed. ”
Yun Qian's heart beat a little faster, and he asked, "Can the master tell me where such rumors originate, and where is the place where the master appeared?" ”
The monk replied, "It's the fate, why not." In the northwest of this place, there is a Zhu City (sound craftsman), there are many rumors, this person also stayed in the city. It's just that this kind of anecdote is too ethereal, and the poor monk can't be sure that he is the immortal mentioned by the donor. ”
Yun Qian nodded with a smile, and then turned away from the conversation and asked about the scriptures that the monk had recited before, and the monk knew everything. One listened to the question, the other told the heart, and before he knew it, the morning light was faint, and it had been a night.
Outside the house, the birds reunited, and the monk came to his senses and got up and folded his feet: "The poor monk is obsessed with Buddhism, and he talks about himself, but he doesn't know that he has delayed the donor's sleep, and he is guilty of sin. This time I met the donor, the poor monk was grateful, and when he met in the future, he would talk freely with the donor. ”
Yun Qian was still unsatisfied, but the monk insisted on leaving, so he had to obey and wanted to get some more fasting, but was politely refused: "Ascetic people, dare not be greedy, it is a blessing to be able to appeal to their wishes, the donor takes care, and the poor monk leaves." ”
Yun Qian returned the salute, and after watching the monk leave, he sat on the steps and held his cheeks in a daze. After the tea, he got up and said, "Let's make up for sleep first." ”
Three days later, Uncle Lu Shishu arrived. After questioning Yun Qian's studies as he did last time, he pointed out the errors in appreciating things. When inquiring about the current situation, Yun Qian hastily dealt with a few words, and Uncle Lu Shishu was relieved to see that he was safe and sound. Before leaving, he said that Uncle Chang Shi's inflammation was not light, and it also caused an old disease, and he needed to recuperate for a long time, so he never came. Yun Qian said that he was going to visit, but was pressed by Uncle Lu Shi, so that he could rest assured that he would do his homework.
Soon after Uncle Lu Shi left, Yun Qian heard a knock on the door, and didn't understand why it was so lively recently.
Yun Qian looked at its small and arrogant appearance, wanted to laugh but didn't dare, pursed his lips and asked, "Why are you here, don't you have to cultivate every day?" ”
Huang Weasel reprimanded in a sharp voice: "It's rude, don't you all have to meet and salute, why don't you follow me." ”
"Poofha..."Yun Qian couldn't help laughing as long as he heard the voice of the weasel for some reason, and laughed heartily. The weasel grinned and stomped violently. But in Yun Qian's eyes, he felt that it was ridiculous, and his voice was higher than the wave. Huang Weasel was extremely annoyed, jumped to Yun Qian's head, raised his tail, and released the housekeeper's fart skill. Then he didn't care about his head, and dragged the cloth bag into the mountain forest in a smoky manner.
Yun Qian couldn't stop laughing, and a pungent stench made him dizzy, and he almost vomited. Hurriedly crawled elsewhere and breathed heavily. After the tea, he shouted angrily: "You have no conscience." ”
The animals lying around him jumped, and one of the roe deer seemed to glare at him, as if disturbing their innocence.
Yun Qian pursed his lips and looked at each other: "The wind of the world is going down, the wind of the world is going down." He walked back to the hut weakly, smelled it and still smelled it, and lit three incense sticks from the cabinet to cover them. For the dinner in the evening, Yun Qian looked at it and was hungry all night.
The next day, the weasel arrived again, still dragging a cloth bag. The lesson he had eaten yesterday was vividly in his nose, Yun Qian almost spit out his breakfast, and forced his appetite to salute: "I've seen Mr. Huang, I don't know what you're doing here?" ”
Huang Weasel was also much more honest, and he also clenched his fists: "Erpi has seen Engong." After waiting for a long time and not hearing a response, he looked up and found that Yun Qian was squatting on the ground, trying his best to cover his mouth and hold back a smile.
Uncharacteristically, the weasel did not get angry, but dragged the cloth bag into the wooden house. Yun Qian secretly watched its movements, exhaled a few long breaths, and entered the house after it eased up.
Huang Weasel squatted on the ground very politely, and waited for Yun Qian to come in before he spoke: "I came here yesterday to repay my kindness, but I didn't hold back my irritability, so I wanted to teach Engong a lesson." After I went back, my ancestor scolded me, so I came again today. ”
Yun Qian sat down on his knees with him: "If you say kindness, you should thank Master Yuan Chun, if there is no kind guidance from him, I will probably ruin your cultivation without covering my mouth." Actually, I'm still a little ashamed. ”
Huang Weasel didn't think about it: "The ancestor of the great monk has been there, and the kindness I said is not only the things of the day, but also other things." ”
"Others? But we've only seen it a few days ago. Yun Qian wondered.
The weasel coughed a few times, and said, "Engong, you will naturally know when you open the burden under the bed." ”
Yun Qian's heart sank, but he still pretended to be calm: "There is no baggage under my bed, you can say whatever you want." ”
The weasel waved his claws: "Don't be afraid, I have no malice." I was originally a weasel who has lived here for a long time, and since Engong came, I have been secretly observing, and I have stolen in many times, so the people who come and go on weekdays, the things in your package, the drugs on your waist and the sleeve crossbow on your left arm, and even the things you paid for the funeral that day. ”
At the end of the last sentence, Yun Qian stood up, opened his sleeve and pointed at the weasel's chest: "You dare to disturb my peace first." ”
Huang Weasel was so frightened that he lay on the ground and said urgently: "Don't worry, we have very strict rules, and we will only practice by the grace of our ancestors on weekdays, and we will not dare to make mistakes." Engong has lived here for more than three months, and he has seen the damage to the tomb of us? The gopher eagles in this mountain are also controlled by their ancestors, so they will not come here to disturb them. ”
Yun Qian thought back to the past situation and asked again: "In this way, you have been helping me, but there is no intersection between us, why are you like this?" ”
"Hui Engong, the feng shui spirit and turbidity in this place are born together, and they are hidden and hidden, so we can protect ourselves from being killed by cyclamen and practice with peace of mind, but it is difficult to fast-forward. The two ornaments buried by Engong are originally gathered by the essence of heaven and earth, and have been exercised by people, and the aura is rich and restrained, and the aura is gradually made sense within a radius of a few zhang by the traction of the earth, which is of great benefit to the practice. We should not have shown up in the world, but our ancestors saw that they were kind and good, so they made an exception to allow it. ”
Yun Qian's anger gradually subsided, and he slowly lowered his sleeves: "I used to wonder why the grass grew so fast. I'm wrong about you, get up. ”
Huang Weasel breathed a long sigh of relief: "Thank you Engong, this time I came to repay your kindness, please take a look." As he spoke, the weasel unwrapped the knot of the cloth bag and took out the things one by one.
Yun Qian watched curiously, but after a moment he was dumbfounded. The cloth bag looked small, less than half the height of the weasel, but the weasel took out one piece after another, and it took half a cup of tea.
Yun Qian saw that it was still going to be taken out, and hurriedly interrupted: "No need to take it, I want this cloth bag." ”
