I "escaped" from the small courtyard of the soup kitchen and walked along the 130-year-old corridor, and I found myself lost. The main reason is that this corridor is too long, bypassing several halls, plus I am a road idiot, I can't distinguish between east and west, north and south, and I can't find the way back to the meditation room for a while.

I don't know if Daofan is looking for me now, and if he brought the longevity Zen master with him, hey, if that's the case, I'll be too rude.

I leaned against a towering tree outside the cloister and wanted to rest, but I was also tired from the tossing and turning of the boat for days.

Closing his eyes, he couldn't help but be confused, but before he could take a good nap, he heard the bell ringing in front of the gate of Yongming Temple on Nanping Mountain.

At this time, the sunset in the western summer, the twilight is vast, the bell reverberates in the blue sky of the mountains, resounding through the sky, and there are more empty caves and strange stones on Nanping Mountain, the bell reverberates through the stone cave and excites each other, stretching for more than ten miles and endlessly.

I was so frightened by the sound of the bell that rang in the mountains that I got to my feet. It seems that you have to catch a little novice and ask for directions, otherwise you will miss dinner.

I looked around, but there was no one in sight, and the monks must have gone to dinner. I wandered aimlessly around the cloister in disappointment, perhaps finding my way out.

As I walked, I met the old monk who was drawing water in the Aroma Kitchen. The old monk was walking in my direction without squinting.

"Donor, we meet again. The old monk squinted his eyes and smiled at me.

Looking at the old monk with a smile on his face, it always makes people feel like a spring breeze. I smiled awkwardly and snorted, "What, the master is busy, I'm one step ahead." ”

"Donors are slow. The old monk stepped forward and stopped in front of me, "This is the time to fast, if the donor does not dislike it, and fasts with the poor monks." ”

I wanted to refuse, but my stomach was not angry, and I kept getting into trouble, so I could only nod to the old monk Shili, "So Master Lao." ”

The old monk took me along the corridor towards the temple, bypassing the Zongjing Hall, Pilu Pavilion, and almost to the place where the Scripture Pavilion was located, before turning to a small courtyard. This small courtyard is not big, only two into the house, in the yard, there is a stone table, there are several peach trees planted next to the stone table, the peach blossoms have withered, and the peach fruit is green.

The old monk pushed open the door, ushered me in, and then politely invited me to sit down, and poured me another cup of tea. But I didn't see anything to eat.

I looked at the old monk suspiciously, wanting to ask, but I couldn't speak. The old monk saw through my thoughts and said with a smile: "The food will be delivered soon, don't worry." ”

Am I in a hurry, where can you tell that I'm in a hurry? Actually......... I'm just a little hungry.

"Shicai listened to the donor's introduction to the shadow in the water in the incense kitchen, the poor monk had never heard of it, and he couldn't help but admire the donor's talent and learning, and I don't know if the donor would like to teach and solve the confusion for the poor monk?"

"The master is serious, where does the kid have any talent, it's just from the book, it's just a matter of swallowing dates, if you really want me to say, I can't say why. "I see that the old monk still wants to delve into the physics common sense that I carried out from my book bag, and I can't help but feel a headache.

"I don't know which book it is?" the old monk looked incredulous, determined to break the casserole and ask to the end.

"Physics. "Presumably, the physics textbook for junior high school students is also a classic among the classics in this era.,Anyway, there's no book on this shijie.,You haven't heard of it and you can't find it.,Our topic about "light reflection" is almost over.

"Physics?" the old monk muttered a few times before shaking his head. "The poor monk has never heard of this classic, I don't know what is recorded in it, and who wrote it?"

"Oh, the author of this book is called the People's Education Publishing House, and it records some trivial things. "I swear to God, I didn't lie. Who dares to say that junior high school physics textbooks were not published by the People's Education Publishing House? As for those editors-in-chief, I can't remember. And about the records in the book, aren't they some trivial things about the apple hitting Newton's head, Galileo chandelier swinging, and so on?

"Don't lie to your benefactor. "The old monk didn't believe my words at all," as far as the donor's explanation was already difficult and obscure, so that the poor monk could not find out how to do it, but he faintly felt that it made a lot of sense, and it seemed to open a door to the unknown for my generation. It can be seen that this book must be a strange book written by everyone in the world. ”

Strange books, indeed strange books, I don't know how many teenagers' beautiful youth have been pitted. I looked dumbly at the old monk's extremely serious and admiring expression, and couldn't help but laugh in my heart, it seems that this time the joke is too big.

"Master," I said, pretending to be worried, "why haven't you seen Saisai yet?" ”

In order to completely divert this topic that I really don't interest in, I had to beg the old monk for food.

At this moment, a little novice walked in with a food box, brought a few simple dishes to the table, and said respectfully to the old monk, "Master, the food is ready." ”

The old monk smiled at the little novice and said kindly, "Go ahead, remember that you can't fall behind in your homework tonight." ”

The little novice nodded happily, and then respectfully exited the room with the food box in his hand. As soon as he got out of the room, he jumped out of the courtyard again.

It's good to be able to jump and jump, I'm about the same age as him, it's a good time to be innocent, but why are I either poisoned or seriously injured all day long, it's really more human than human, and I'm angry.

Looking at the food on the table, my heart became even heavier. A bowl of clear soup radish, a plate of merit tofu, a plate of boiled vegetables, two bowls of rice, it looks white and green, the clear soup is low in water, and I have not moved my chopsticks to make me tasteless.

I can understand that there is no meat, no oil and water, but even seasoned ginger, onions and garlic are counted as forbidden meat and vegetables, what kind of life is this life of a monk.

"But the food is not to the donor's taste?" the old monk asked when he saw that I was slow to move my chopsticks.

I thought so in my heart, but I said, "No, no, didn't the master want to discuss physics with you, but I suddenly remembered what was in the book, so I lost my temper." ”

There was no way, these dishes instantly lowered my appetite to freezing point, and in order not to refuse the old monk's good intentions to entertain me, I had to sacrifice the sign of physics again to change the topic.

"Can the donor tell the poor monk about the book?" When the old monk heard this, he didn't care whether I ate fasting or not, but couldn't wait to open the door to physics.

I finally knew that Weishenme feudal superstition would have such a big market in China, and it was all caused by ignorance. Maybe I'll instill some of the natural science I know into this old monk, and maybe I can change the bad habits of the monks who don't do anything.

But where to start? I scratched my head, looked at the food on the table, and when I had an idea, I opened my mouth and said, "Master, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that it is recorded in physics, and I am afraid that the master will not like to say it." ”

"Why?" the old monk shook his head, almost patted his chest like I promised, and said with a serious face: "Donor, rest assured, there is no senseless cause, no senseless effect, just the words of a family, and besides, my Buddha is empty, not greedy, not angry, not stupid." ”

I don't know if the old monk's words were to give me a vaccination, or to give myself a reminder first. I think the old monk must have realized from the reflection of the well in front of me that this physics would have a great impact on his theories of gods and Buddhas.

I never dared to despise anyone at this time, especially a monk who could speak well. They are not engaged in production, they study the philosophy of idealism all day long, and everyone can be described as human spirits. Maybe the old monk is really very curious, but it is also possible that he has regarded the book of physics as the great enemy of Buddhism and wants to find out.

The old monk in front of him is really powerful, and from the reflection of a small amount of light, you can see the materialist concept at the core of physics. Sure enough, philosophy makes people wise.

Since we want to talk about physics, let's start with this food. I laughed in my heart, and asked you not to give me some oil and water, and treat me with such a vegetarian meal.

"Master, do you know that the food we eat is contrary to what is stated in physics. I said in a pretentious manner.

The old monk was not surprised, and said calmly: "I would like to hear about it." ”

"According to the physics, our normal diet, grain and rice must be eaten, fruits must be eaten, meat can be increased in taste, and all kinds of vegetables are foods that replenish energy, and these are eaten together, so it is suitable for the human body. In total, it is four servings of vegetarian and one serving of meat. ”

When the old monk heard the meat, he frowned, did not answer, and motioned for me to continue.

"The substances that sustain basic life in our bodies come from all kinds of vegetables and fruits, but at the same time, they also come from all kinds of birds and animals... I saw that the old monk had no opinion, so I continued: "Vegetables replenish some essential substances in our body, but they lack a basic substance to maintain life, protein. If a person is chronically deficient in protein, it will cause many diseases, such as headaches, brain fever, or long-term low appetite, and the body's ability to resist various diseases will be poor. ”

Although these are in the realm of nutrition, not physics, they are also in the realm of natural sciences. I'm not talking nonsense, it's all the results of the conscientious research of many scientific predecessors, I told myself in my heart that I have a clear conscience, and I am not afraid to accept the questioning gaze of the old monk!

The old monk's gaze wandered on my face for a moment, and then he said slowly: "What is protein?

I was stunned, saying that the monks didn't eat meat and didn't die, but they looked a little yellow and thin, and they didn't have to produce, so they didn't have to work, and the chance of getting sick was also low. After doing this for a long time, it is unconvincing to put it on the group of monks, what a mistake.

The old monk saw that I was dumbfounded, and said with a smile: "What the donor said, although the poor monk has doubts, but what he said is conclusive, it doesn't seem like he is saying it. It's just that as soon as the human body says it, it is the reincarnation of Bian Que Huatuo, and he can't tell the donor's insights today. ”

I looked at the old monk puzzled, what did he mean by this? Was he praising me or sarcastic about me?

Just as I was thinking about how to answer the old monk, a familiar figure appeared in the small courtyard. Monk Daofan followed suit and walked into the house.
