After watching it for a long time, the old monk shook his head and said in disgust: "This son claims to be a scholar, and he doesn't look very good!" ”

Where did Mu Fengzhi dare to say anything, licking and laughing, like a pug with bones.

The old monk rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand, and miraculously, took out a pig's trotter from the small pocket on his waist!

This pig's trotters are scorched and yellow, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, steaming, fragrant, and you can see that it is so delicious that it can no longer be delicious, and it is the best pig's trotters in the world!

Mu Feng's eyes straightened, looking straight at the old monk, that look was very easy to misunderstand, just like a man saw a stunning woman without clothes, and his eyes were about to fly out of his sockets!

The old monk couldn't help but tremble in fright, and said in disgust: "What are you doing? I'm an old monk, and you look at me like this, which is very ill-intentioned! Are you craving pig's trotters? If you want to eat it, you can say it? How do you know if you want to eat it if you don't say it? Want to eat? Say what you want to eat? ”

Mu Fengzhi's chick nodded wildly like eating rice: "I want to eat!" The master is merciful, give it to me, right? I really want to eat it! I really want to eat! ”

The old monk pursed his lips and said, "Wasn't it bullish just now? Is there no boundale to be crazy? Huh~~ Vulnerable! ”

Wave your hand and throw the pig's trotters at will.

Mu Fengzhi hurriedly threw away the pig bone in his hand and reached out to pick up the pig's trotters that were thrown, but the force was broken, and the pig's trotters rolled down into the gravel on the ground.

Mu Fengzhi frantically crawled to the ground, snatched the pig's trotters, and didn't care whether it was dirty or not, he opened his mouth and gnawed, biting several pieces of gravel, and almost knocking out his teeth.

The wind swept away, gobbling up, and a very large pig's trotter was quickly eaten clean.

He was still a little reluctant to lick the pig bone.

The old monk rolled his eyes speechlessly, and said: "It's not good to lick pig bones, it's a bit like a dog, and a scholar, licking pig bones like this is insulting!" ”

Mu Fengzhi nodded with a smile, still reluctant to throw it away, and licked the pork bone again.

"Not full? It's okay, I still have it! As if playing a trick, the old monk suddenly took out three pig's trotters from his waist pocket!

Mu Fengzhi couldn't care about being polite at this time, and pounced on the old monk like a vicious dog!

The old monk handed the three pig's trotters to Mu Fengzhi, and Mu Fengzhi gnawed this time, and the world changed color, and the sun and moon were dark.

Finally, after eating the three pig's trotters, Mu Fengzhi was finally full, he looked down at the pig bones, thought about it, and finally couldn't help but lick them again, and reluctantly put the pig bones into his arms.

The arms were full, and the last one really couldn't let go, so he was reluctant to throw it away, so he pinched it in his hand, which meant that he could lick it again when he was hungry.

The old monk sighed and said leisurely: "If you don't bring it in life, you don't bring it in death, you are not afraid of death, are you reluctant to give up a few pig bones?" ”

Mu Fengzhi's eyes widened: "You...... What did you say? ”

"Didn't you just say that you hanged yourself after eating pork knuckle? Now that the pork knuckle has been eaten, and you haven't hanged yourself, what are you waiting for? ”

Mu Fengzhi just sprouted the will to live and die, because he was hungry and unbearable, and he remembered his life of extreme failure, and he was impulsive, so he committed suicide impulsively.

Now that his stomach is full, his spirit is rising, and he doesn't want to die when he just hanged himself and was about to die.

In fact, people are often like this, and the decisions made impulsively are often very regretful, but many people have no chance to regret them.

And people who have the opportunity to regret often cherish life more than ordinary people.

Seeing that Mu Fengzhi was silent, the old monk sneered: "What? Hungry and don't want to die? You're full this meal, what's next? What's next? Do you want to ask the old monk me to beg for a moment? I don't have a place to eat, where can I always give it to you? ”

Mu Fengzhi lowered his head in shame.

A dignified seven-foot man, still a talented man in the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be shameful to find an old monk who usually looks down on him to ask for food?

But he really didn't want to commit suicide now, so he shirked: "Didn't I have a broken belt?" When I find a good belt, it's not too late to hang myself. ”

"What's the point? Isn't that hanging there nicely? ”

Mu Fengzhi looked up when he heard this, and the dirty belt was really hanging on the branches of the white tree, and it was not broken at all.

He remembered the discomfort of hanging, and reached out to untie the belt and tie it back to his waist.

"Oh? Don't want to hang yourself? You can jump off a cliff too! ”

Mu Fengzhi was a little annoyed, and said angrily: "I don't want to die, okay?" ”

"Oh, aren't you dead? It is said that it is a hundred times to die, but in fact, it is even more troublesome to die! ”

Mu Fengzhi heard the words of this monk, and remembered the strangeness of this monk's behavior, and couldn't help asking: "What does it mean to be troubled when you die?" ”

"Death is not the end, but a new beginning, and if you die well, it is the beginning of a perfect story, and if you die by suicide, you will be punished and you will suffer countless sufferings in the future."

"Are you talking about the Yama Temple?"

"The affairs of the Yama Palace, the king of Yama is in charge, the old man wants to know, since you don't want to die, what will you do in the future?"

Mu Fengzhi is also secretly worried in his heart, if he dies, he will die, it is simple, if he doesn't want to die, things will be a little complicated, he will have to eat, he will have to dress, he will have something to do, so he is now penniless and has no place to stay, where should he go, what should he do?

Do you want to be a beggar who makes your home from all over the world?

Mu Feng was a little dazed.

The old monk sat on the big bluestone with a smile, shook his loose sleeves, and said: "Lao Qu has another question, just now you said that if you eat meat, you can't participate in Zen, and you can't become a Buddha, so if you become a Buddha, can you eat pig's trotters casually?" ”

Mu Feng's heart secretly thought: "The Buddhist scriptures say that after the Buddha became a Buddha, there is no self, no one, no sentient beings, no longevity, and all appearances, for all the Buddhas, since they have been formless and formless, eat pig's trotters, do not eat pig's trotters, it is the same, so this old monk said that after becoming a Buddha, you can eat pig's trotters at will, there is nothing wrong, because in the Buddha's heart, eating pig's trotters and not eating pig's trotters is no difference.

"That's nature, after becoming a Buddha, it can break the world, the Buddha said that all the things in the world are false, like dream bubbles, like dew and electricity, everything in the world is just manifested by fate, and it doesn't really exist, even the hardest rock will eventually collapse, so it doesn't matter if the Buddha eats pig's trotters."

"Then do you think I can eat pig's trotters?"

Mu Fengzhi turned his head and looked at it, taken aback.

I saw that the old monk's head put a thousand colors of light, like a round wheel rotation, shining in the world of the four directions, sitting down Qinghua into a seven-colored golden lotus, pieces of blooming, exuding bursts of pure fragrance, countless lotus petals flying around the old monk's body, countless Sanskrit singing sounded, making people feel a burst of clarity in their hearts when they heard it.

Mu Fengzhi was dumbfounded, thinking he was dreaming? Or is he dead so he can see this?

He slapped himself in the face a few times and realized that it was all real, not unreal.

He couldn't help but bow down, kowtow to the old monk, and said, "Please also ask the Buddha to save me from the sea of suffering!" ”

The old monk accepted the statue of the law, but still changed into the original old monk, and said, "You are full of pig's trotters, why do you suffer?" ”

"The disciple has been reading the Four Books and the Five Classics since he was a child, and he has repeatedly failed to do so, his wife and children have died early, and he has been scolded by people behind his back every day, and he has been blinded by people all the time, and he has no power to restrain the chicken, and he has no business talent, which is really the biggest waste in the world."

"Haha, you are exaggerating, people live in the world, idealism, everything is vain, everything changes, only the human heart is from the beginning to the end, it is something that you can grasp, you think you are a waste, you are a waste, you think you are a genius of the sky, how can you not help the world?"

"Everything is idealistic, everything is manifested for the heart, since you have decided that you are a waste, and you don't have the mind to work hard and strive for the top, then you are really a waste! The heart is dead, and you have no hope in this life! It's better to go back to the furnace and rebuild it! You jumped off this cliff and fell into a meat sauce, I will detain your soul, find you a good person to reincarnate, and start over, are you satisfied? ”

Mu Fengzhi slowly paced to the edge of the cliff, looked down, the cliff made people feel cold, dizzy in front of him, and the cold mountain wind blew in his face, cold into the bone marrow.

Shall I jump down and end this life?

He was a little hesitant, a little hesitant.

"If I reincarnate and reincarnate in a good family, I will be able to live a very good life, and it will definitely be better than now?"

Mu Fengzhi asked himself, and his heart was terrified: "Not necessarily! In fact, I was reincarnated in this life from a good family, my family was wealthy, my parents loved me very much, and my husband and wife were also very loving, but in the end I still ended up in such a situation, if I reincarnated again, maybe I would still become like this in the end? ”

He suddenly turned around, and wanted to say something more, but before he could open his mouth, he heard the old monk behind him say, "Go down, you!" ”

With a 'poof' kick, the old monk kicked Mu Fengzhi's ass heavily and kicked Mu Fengzhi off the cliff.

Mu Fengzhi screamed, only to feel the strong wind in his face, the wind in his ears, and the whole person quickly fell to the ground.

He was frightened and frightened in his heart, closed his eyes vigorously, and sighed secretly in his heart: "Am I going to die now?" It's still a pity, it's actually good to be alive, why die? It's better to die than to live, it's a little harder to live, it's a little harder to live, and there's nothing, and if you live another life, isn't it also such a life? The Buddha said that all living beings are suffering, in fact, he is right, instead of always looking forward to the next life, it is better to live this life well! ”

Mu Feng's heart was spinning, thinking about this for a while, thinking about that for a while, thinking about it for a long time, and finding that he was not dead, he was a little surprised, and opened his eyes a little strangely.

When I opened my eyes, I couldn't help but be startled.

The world in front of me has changed.

Is this the afterlife?

The whole world turned black and white, the cliffs in front of him were black, the empty space around him was white, and the ground below was also black, and he himself was black, floating in the air.
