Chapter 31 Offended the abbot and still want to leave?
After resting for two days in Mrs. Liu's village, Sun Lei said goodbye to Lu Zhishen and left, and before leaving, he wanted to buy a carriage from Mrs. Liu and let the old woman make the carriage, so that the speed of the journey could be faster.
As a result, Liu Taigong made a difficulty, he had no horses on the village, and there would be no carriages, only ox carts and sedan chairs.
Sun Lei didn't think about the ox cart at all, although the ox cart was stable, it was very cumbersome and the speed of pulling up was too slow, it was better to go with a donkey, of course, provided that the donkey was not stubborn.
The sedan chair is even more nonsense, Lu Zhishen is willing to carry it, Sun Lei is still unwilling, and it is impossible to hire a sedan chair driver to go all the way to Yan'an Mansion, such a long way, no one wants to go, it takes half a month to go to Yan'an Mansion quickly, and the sedan chair can't be carried for more than half a month.
In the end, I could only tell Mrs. Liu a few words, if the officials of the government asked, they would say that they went to the mountains to suppress bandits, and then they never returned, not knowing life and death, presumably the government would not embarrass Mrs. Liu, after all, Zhou Tong's body is real, and Li Zhong will definitely be honest for a long time.
Mrs. Liu knew that Lu Zhishen and Sun Lei had won a bounty and were not short of money, and they had to rush to Yan'an Mansion, so they prepared a large amount of beef jerky and baked cakes, as well as fine wine, for them to eat on the way.
Lu Zhishen naturally liked these things very much, thanked Mrs. Liu repeatedly, took out a piece of jerky, took a wine bag and ate and drank.
There are so many things that Lu Zhishen can't carry, Sun Lei is even more reluctant to carry, the horse is taller, the old woman is not safe to ride, so she still rides a donkey, and the things are placed on the back of the white horse, Lu Zhishen led the horse, Sun Lei led the donkey, and went to Taiyuan Mansion and Yan'an Mansion, and the old woman sat on the back of the donkey and still muttered that sentence back and forth.
"Brother, you can't really be the eldest grandson of this old lady, the Sprinkle family listens to her call you Dalang and shouts kindly, it doesn't seem to be a fake! Have you forgotten? ”
Lu Zhishen led the horse, put his Zen staff, ring knife and baggage on the saddle, and asked Sun Lei while nibbling on a beef jerky with a whistle stick in his hand.
"The old woman is not lightly sane, and she obviously recognizes the wrong person, it must be like this. You look like I'm someone who would forget such an important thing! ”
Sun Lei pointed to his head, meaning that he was clear, had no amnesia, and would never forget the appearance of his relatives!
"That's weird, there are so many people in Zhending Mansion, why did the old lady misunderstand you?"
Lu Zhishen still looked at Sun Lei suspiciously, this is too strange.
"What do you care about so much? You are a monk, you have to be compassionate, why do you look reluctant? ”
Sun Lei was annoyed by Lu Zhishen's gossip, ignored Lu Zhishen, took the kettle from the horse, handed it to the old woman, and asked her to take a sip.
Lu Zhishen looked at Sun Lei in amazement, Sun Lei on weekdays didn't have such a good heart, and he knew that he took the initiative to send water to the old man to drink.
"Brother, you are much kinder than the Sprinkle family, you are really compassionate, if you don't leave home, it is really a waste of this kind heart, the rivers and lakes are sinister, or the temple is clean!"
Lu Zhishen talked about the old saying again, and he wanted to pull Sun Lei to be a monk.
"The temple is clean, I see that the Wenshu Monastery is in chaos, if it weren't for Elder Zhizhen sitting in charge, I don't know what the chaos would be."
After living in Wenshu Monastery for a few days, Sun Lei also knows some things, Wenshu Monastery looks good, but in fact, except for Elder Zhizhen, there are few people who have compassion, they all look at money, the treatment of rich Tanyue and rich pilgrims is very different, and the monks are also fighting openly and secretly for the rights of the temple.
"But I'm very strange, the monks are all senior, which can be seen from the Dharma name, such as Elder Zhizhen, and Zen Master Zhiqing of the Great Xiangguo Temple in Tokyo, these are all senior monks of the Zhizi generation, almost all of them are more than seventy, and they have become the abbot or abbot of a temple, and they are all high-ranking monks. How can you, a monk who has just become a monk, be called Zhishen? Isn't this messing up the generations, Elder Zhizhen is a substitute teacher and an apprentice? Are you actually his junior brother? ”
Sun Lei saw that there was nothing to do on the road, so he asked the question that he had been puzzled in his heart, the temple is a place that talks about seniority, and the law name actually represents the generation, this cannot be taken indiscriminately, but Lu Zhishen's law name Zhishen is taken by Elder Zhizhen with an empty head, and now Lu Zhishen's legal name is Zhishen.
"You also think it's strange when you say this, why do you have the name of the Sprinkle family and the elders?"
Lu Zhishen touched his bald head and was puzzled, he just thought that the Dharma name was inappropriate, no wonder the monks in the courtyard were not friendly with him, it turned out that he became a master and an ancestor as soon as he entered the door.
"Brother, you thought of it a long time ago? Why don't you ask the elders on the mountain? ”
Lu Zhishen couldn't figure it out, so he looked at Sun Lei, if he had said this matter earlier, he could ask the elders, and now he went down the mountain, how could he understand it.
"Come on, I don't know if there are any Buddhist taboos in this, what if this question offends the elders? As the saying goes, if you offend the abbot, you still want to leave? I don't want to be locked up in Wenshu Monastery for the rest of my life! Sweep the floor and carry water. ”
"Besides, this name is yours, if you like it, I wish you were an abbot, the temple has a lot of livelihood, when the time comes, you can take care of me, and we can make a fortune!"
Sun Lei said with a smile, the temple is a big business, in addition to the sesame oil money donated by pilgrims, there are other transactions, Wenshu Monastery has a street of deed at the foot of Wutai Mountain, rent is collected softly, and there are a large number of land deeds, rented to farmers for farming, rent can also collect a lot, the temple does not pay taxes so much, it is a million profits, if it is not so good Lu Zhishen will not always want to pull himself to be a monk, but when a monk has to abide by the precepts, Sun Lei can't stand this.
"What kind of wealth to make, Buddhism is a pure place, we should be compassionate and take it as our responsibility to purify all sentient beings."
Lu Zhishen said with a straight face, and then took out a Buddhist scripture from his arms.
"The elder said that the Sprinkle family has great wisdom and has a relationship with the Buddha, and only wait for a moment of enlightenment to become a Buddha, and you must read more Buddhist scriptures on weekdays!"
Lu Zhishen said and took a sip of wine and looked through the Buddhist scriptures in his hand.
"Wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart. This sentence is simply prepared for you, this wine and meat do not leave the mouth, but you can hold the Buddhist scriptures in your hand, with a solemn face, it is really a predecessor master, a model for my generation! I'm so ashamed! ”
Looking at Lu Zhishen's shameless appearance, Sun Lei mocked speechlessly, holding wine and meat in one hand and Buddhist scriptures in the other, pretending to be a monk.
After laughing, I found that Lu Zhishen didn't speak again, he really looked at the Buddhist scripture with a solemn face, it really looked like a Buddhist monk in that way, if it wasn't for the wine and meat that didn't leave his hand, he really couldn't see that he was a flower monk.
Sun Lei didn't believe it, rubbed his eyes, Lu Zhishen was still like that, except for drinking wine and eating meat from time to time, he really looked like a monk.
After leaving Taohua Village for two days, I had already entered the deep mountains, and I saw that there was another mountain road in front of me, and there was a large red pine forest.
"Brother, let's rest, the Sprinkle family is hungry."
Lu Zhishen couldn't stand it anymore, stuffed the Buddhist scriptures back into his arms, and shouted hungry at noon.
"You're going to be hungry all the way?"
Sun Lei led the donkey to a big tree, the sun was strong at noon, he got to sit in the shade of the tree, helped the old woman to sit down, and began to eat dried meat and baked cakes.
"Mrs. Liu really knows you, you have prepared so much food, otherwise you will eat it all in one meal."
