Chapter 35: The Haunting Sheep
Lu Feng hadn't eaten for a night and a morning.
But he also had to go a day, a night without eating.
Because he is going to fast.
Cleansing the mind of impurity is called fasting.
The prohibition of physical transgressions is called "vows".
Fasting is the observance of vows to abstain from all cravings.
Fortunately, the water can still be drunk, Lu Feng left here while holding the mantra, in the past, he was the one who saluted others, but now, he put on the red monk's robe, cowhide boots, and a high hat, although the hat is different from the elder's hat.
But this was the first change, he became a monk in the eyes of the monks who studied the scriptures, and became a "great monk".
On the way, I met monks who were also dressed in red, but these monks saw Lu Feng from a distance, some quickly moved away, some were very disgusted with him, deliberately spit at his feet, or cursed, and some stepped forward to talk to Lu Feng.
Lu Feng's heart still did not move, and he walked on the road, which is "fasting".
There were yellow-clothed monks waiting for him in front of him, people who had come to "move" for him, and they brought Lu Feng's luggage to a new place to stay according to Lu Feng's request, where they could wash, bathe, meditate, and have their own kitchenette.
In the kitchen of the Endless White Pagoda Temple, the monks and some monks of the sixth order could not get food after the meal, because eating at the place on time and on time, and how much time a meal takes, these are all precepts, and this is all part of the precepts.
As for the monks at the level of monks and elders, they are not subject to this constraint.
Because the Endless White Pagoda Temple believes that the precepts are a way to help people restrain their minds and comprehend the Dharma, these great monks no longer need to use this precept to restrain themselves, because they no longer need to restrain themselves with such external objects, they already understand what they want.
It's just that if this is really the case, Lu Feng doesn't know.
He was only a sixth-order monk, and he also knew that there were some things that could not be explored carefully, for example, those great monks might really be able to ignore the precepts, but what about those monks who were like him in the sixth order and had attained "good knowledge"?
If they go to the kitchen to look for food, they will be driven out by the monks, but if they become monks, especially the direct monks of these kitchen monks, even if they can't practice at home, they can still eat fragrant beef and mutton and oily tsamba at non-meal points.
It has nothing to do with their practice, it's because they're monks, that's all.
When he came to a new place, naturally there were yellow-clothed monks who boiled water and bathed for Lu Feng, and even Lu Feng saw a red-clothed monk.
He stood in the distance, directing the movements of the yellow-clothed monks, and when he saw Lu Feng passing, he folded his hands, and Lu Feng also folded his hands.
"Senior Brother Yongzhen."
He is the Dharma Protector sent by Lu Feng's Buddha-figure Guru Elder Mingli to help Lu Feng, and he is called Yongqing Monk.
"Senior brother can rest assured to practice, everything here has me."
Lu Feng thanked the other party, and Yongqing Seng continued to preside over the overall situation, he was not jealous of Yongzhen at all, because he knew very well that not everyone could be the apprentice of Elder Mingli, and over the years, Elder Mingli's apprentices had died a lot, although there were many benefits to being a disciple of Elder Mingli.
But you also have to have a life to enjoy.
Bathing, dressing, meditating.
Lu Feng returned to the clean room, put down all the magic weapons with tricks in his hand, and took out the gifts that the black sheep "gave" to him from the abandoned mandala.
Originally, the place where he lived was a monk's room, but now Yongqing monk has prepared a new place for him, a single room, if he has a servant monk, he can ask the servant monk to sleep on the ground or at the door.
Like Zhiyun monks, who have their own courtyards and their own Buddha statues, there must be an identity of a monk official, and Zhiyun monk himself was born as a nobleman in Zongben, and there is no shortage of offerings, they are all red-clothed monks, and Lu Feng is still far from these monks.
Still opened the thangka, Lu Feng quietly stared at this thangka, the mandala, Lu Feng's mind was full of the appearance of the sheep.
The seed word is "hum".
Lu Feng's mind was full of the shadow of this black sheep.
Just like this, I don't know how long it has passed, Lu Feng's mind is still the same sheep, but the strange thing is that Lu Feng feels that the shadow of that sheep is becoming more and more familiar and clear.
Even the hairs on its body, even the smell of sheep's flesh on its body, even the hooves that are unique to sheep and can walk on cliffs, and the smell of breath from the sheep's nose.
On the chest, the place where the scroll was placed close to the body suddenly became violently hot!
Lu Feng suddenly woke up.
The ghee lantern beside Lu Feng suddenly lit up.
Lu Feng held Zamaru in his left hand and the prayer wheel in his right hand, and when he shook Zamaru, he began to recite the six-character Da Ming mantra, and visualized the slowly blooming lotus flower in the chakra under his umbilical cord, and the great compassion rhyme slowly appeared from his body, rippling throughout the room.
I don't know when, it's already dark, Lu Feng doesn't know how much time he has been contemplating this time, and more importantly, a black sheep has really appeared here, and it is constantly patrolling here with its square-shaped eyes.
Lu Feng closed his eyes, everything was nothing, and he began to silently hold the spell.
"Om Ma Ma Horn Mi Mi Woo".
The six-character mantra echoed in the "empty" room, and Lu Feng's figure seemed to be here, but it didn't seem to be here.
The six-character Great Ming Mantra prayer wheel in his hand seemed to have a hoarse voice in every turn.
It's like there's some extra friction between the wheels.
It's like someone is crying hoarsely.
The rhyme also came from the prayer wheel, with the hoarse sound of the turning.
Zamaru also heard a strange empty voice, soothing all the tricks, and the pale green ghee ever-bright lamp illuminated Lu Feng's shadow.
It emitted a foul smell.
But in this room, Lu Feng is here, not here, he seems to be in the abandoned mandala, not only learned to be "not moved", he seems to have learned more things, at the last moment, he even gave himself out in the way of "confession".
The black sheep looked restlessly at the "empty" place, the burning butter lamp did not satisfy it, and the yellow-clothed monk outside the room was lying in his clothes, but at this time, his whole body began to rot, and the charm emanated from his body.
When the sun came out in the morning, the black sheep, who had searched for nothing in vain, left the house.
And the yellow-clothed monks who were rotting outside had opened their eyes at this moment, and the rot on their bodies had already healed.
But for a moment, their eyes turned into the shape of a square, like the eyes of a sheep.
