ps: Thank you Chen Tianxin, Lord Immortal Bird for your rewards, and other Taoist friends for their monthly ticket encouragement.

The night breeze is blowing, the moon is bright, the four fields are lonely, and there is no one in the air.

After a whole day of fighting and fighting, adding up to three fights, both of them did their best. Zhao Ran didn't suffer any external injuries, but he was exhausted, and he only felt exhausted at the moment, just wanting to lie on this lawn softly and never get up. The monk was covered with wounds, blood scabs and dirt, his head and face were all over, and the original good skin was not what it looked like now, but he didn't have the strength to clean it at all, and he felt tearing pain when he even moved his fingers.

"Monk, can we fight yet?"

"Don't fight, rest for a while, I'm tired to death, and my body hurts tightly. ”

"Haven't I served the Taoist master?"

"Don't brag about the bull's nose, I have never lost to you, Buddha, at most it is a tie. And when the Buddha goes back to cultivate for another half a year, you will have to lose a lot!"

"Bald donkey, you're really hard-mouthed, if you don't accept it, you'll fight again!"

"If you can stand up now, I will kowtow to you, Buddha!"

After fighting for a while, each side had nothing to do with the other, and they no longer had a battle of will.

Zhao Ran took a heart-nourishing pill, lay quietly for half an hour, meditated on the inner breath meditation, and felt a little more recovered, so he picked a conversation and said: "Monk, speaking of which, you are really cunning, digging a pit and waiting for me, and putting a broken book as bait, which was almost planted in your hands yesterday." ”

The monk said: "What is a broken book? That is a treasure book handed down in my temple, I am afraid that you will not be fooled so I put it in it, who knows that you didn't even look at it, and you jumped into it without knowing what was in the pit." It's been a waste of my efforts. By the way, the scriptures are useless to you, so return them to me quickly. ”

When Zhao Ran thought about it, he couldn't help laughing, and said angrily: "Let's rest for a while." I'm too tired to move now. Monk, do you think I should call you Senior Brother Jueyuan, or do I call you a bald donkey?"

The monk smiled: "Fame is nothing, seeing sex is true, whether it is a bald donkey or a senior brother." To say that a monk is a monk. ”

Zhao Ran sarcastically said: "You can play a sharp edge, but you don't have the appearance of a great monk at all, sneak attacks, deceit, treachery, you are not bad, is this the practice method of Buddhist disciples?"

The monk said leisurely: "Although there are thousands of Dharmas. But all laws are the same, and there is no divergence, and the so-called divergent path is only the human heart. If you want to kill me, I will attack, and if you want to coax me, I will deceive, and you will not be sincere to me. I'll deal with it with treachery, even if it's a great monk, you can't stick out your neck and let others slaughter you, right?"

Zhao Ran was very interested: "It turns out that you are still a realist." Well, it means acknowledging the status quo, accepting the status quo, achieving the goals under the existing conditions, and not doing ambitious things. ”

The monk said slightly: "You mean that I see the wind and make the rudder, right? There is not such a heavy burden on your shoulders, and it is useless to talk to you. ”

Zhao Ran was surprised: "Oh, I said monk." Can't you see that you are actually the abbot of a temple? What is the name of your temple? It seems to be the Great Lei Guang Temple, is it? How many monks are there? How many houses are there? Where are they located?"

The monk replied, "Why are you asking so clearly? These have nothing to do with you." You can't shave your degree and follow me to the Buddha's Gate. ”

Zhao Ran urged: "Okay monk, don't interrupt, hurry up and listen, I'm very curious about your Buddhism." By the way, what is the level of your Great Thunderlight Temple in the Xia Kingdom Buddhism? What is the level of your abbot? What kind of treatment do you enjoy?"

The monk was dumbfounded: "Brother Dao, our Buddhism is different from your Daomen, you don't even know this, right?"

Zhao Ran's face turned red, and he defended: "I focus on cultivation and have never gone down the mountain, this is the first time, and I didn't have the heart and energy to pay attention to foreign affairs before, I don't know what is so strange about the affairs of your Xia Kingdom?"

The monk sighed: "It is only the monks who come out of the land of your Taoist pavilion that they will ignore secular affairs, and the monks of our Buddhist sect are all taken care of." Your Taoist door has the difference between the palace and the pavilion, the palace is dedicated to secular affairs, and the pavilion is dedicated to cultivation, but our Buddhism is not so particular, all the monks are crowded in a temple, everyone has understanding, everyone can practice, and the world contains Buddhism, and everywhere is a convenient door. Speaking of which, when we practice Buddhism, we are aiming to enter the world, to observe the sufferings of all sentient beings, to experience the sorrow and glory of the red dust, to know the past and present lives, to know the cause and effect of the future, and to practice by ourselves, and we will not be able to prove the Buddha's position. However, your cultivation is different, what you pay attention to is to be born, to stay away from the hustle and bustle, and to travel in the mountains and forests, but what you cultivate is self, so what does it matter about the various states in this world? It is better not to eat the fireworks of the world, then it can be regarded as the emptiness of the Tao. ”

"Monk, you know a lot. But according to what you say, how can the Taoist temples and temples be in charge of secular affairs? Everyone goes to be at ease, and what do you want these Taoist temples, Taoist palaces, and Taoist temples to do and support when they are full?"

"Brother Dao, you are really not deeply involved in the world. What do you cultivate? Dao Dharma and wealth! Practicing exercises, responding to the enemy's supernatural powers, receiving masters, and learning from Taoist friends, these are the reasons why you monks gather in such secret places as pavilions! As for wealth, if you can't reach a certain level, you have to dress, eat, alchemy, and draw talismans, not to mention those heavenly and earthly treasures. If you have to do everything yourself, and you have to find a way to get everything by yourself, then don't cultivate the Tao, there won't be so many longevity yuan for you to toss around!"

After a pause, the monk said: "Actually, Buddhism and Taoism are the same, there is no difference in Ming Xia, but the means are different." In our Buddhist temples, those who have cultivated and those who have not cultivated are all together, because there is no need to divide them, and there is no way to talk about who cares about whom; ”

"So, although your abbot skills are low, you have the same status as the abbots of other big temples?"

"Logically, this is the case, we Buddhism pay attention to the equality of all beings, everyone is on an equal footing, and no one is inferior to the other...... However, there is a Tianlong Temple in Xingqing Mansion, and the high monks and great virtues of the temples are selected as the elders, and the elders of the important affairs are discussed and decided, and those big temples take advantage of it, and when they speak, the small temples have to listen. ”

Zhao Ran said: "I can think of it with my toes, you can't enter the Tianlong Academy with this ability, so you don't have any status as the abbot, right?"

The monk was silent.

Zhao Ran suddenly didn't know what to talk about, after all, he fought and killed twice during the day, although there was a sympathy born from joining forces to meet the enemy and hating the enemy, but Buddhism and Taoism are different after all, and the environment is really bad, like the story of the demon sect elder and the decent elder described in the novel playing the piano and flute ensemble and talking and laughing freely in the midst of the great enemy, although it is very chic, but the feelings of being willing to be destroyed for the sake of pursuing art are not normal people can have anyway.

Lying on the lawn to rest, both of them fell asleep involuntarily, and slept until the third pole of the sun before waking up leisurely, and their spirits were much more restored.

Zhao Ran took out the cooked meat in the small bamboo box, tore off a chicken leg, threw it to the monk, and said, "Monk, I don't think you are a pedantic person, can you still get fishy meat?"

The monk took the chicken leg, took a big bite, and said while eating: "Cultivation must not be too stubborn, and the precepts must be divided into time, the so-called time shift is easy, otherwise it is a skin and a violation of the original heart...... Do you have any wine?"

Zhao Ran laughed and said: "I know an old man, who carries a gourd around the world every day, and there is an unknown amount of wine in the gourd, and I have time to steal some for you to taste." ”

Filled their stomachs, and it was time to separate, this time the two of them didn't keep each other's hands back, and they did that trick of going up and patting me when you turned around.

At the time of parting, Zhao Ran took out an empty bottle and threw it to the monk: "Aren't you looking for this worm, and you don't know what's good, take it, I'll give it to you, no thanks." ”

The monk took the bottle and looked at it, and immediately said happily: "I was going to go again to see if this worm is still there, but since you have caught it, it will save me my hard work." You are not a home, you don't know how to be in charge, this worm is useless to you, but it is of great use to me. ”

Zhao Ran asked: "What's the point?" Monk let's hear it, the insects have been sent to you, and it is impossible for me to come back, so it doesn't hurt if you talk about it." (To be continued)
