Chapter 193: Guiding the Maze
The foolish monk staggered away with a wooden cane in his hand, and Li Qianmo watched his figure disappear into the street, shook his head, sat down and continued to drink.
After a while, Li Qianmo got up to pay the bill, walked out of the wine shop, and wandered on the street, at this time it was getting dark, he found a small inn to live in, although the conditions were simple, but he was not picky about these, after entering the guest room, he went to bed to meditate and practice, and when he finished the exercises, it was noon the next day.
He jumped out of bed and pushed open the window to ventilate, and found that there was a large group of people not far from the street, as if they were fighting, he carried out a divine investigation, and found that it was actually the foolish monk who was being beaten, and from the words of those people, it could be heard that the foolish monk had stolen again.
Seeing this, Li Qianmo smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't plan to help him, even if the master of the fourfold path of the Convergence Dao sealed the cultivation, it was impossible for him to be injured by these mortals.
After a long time, those people got tired of fighting, and they spat at the foolish monk one after another, scolding: "Phew, the old immortal, as resistant to beating as a stone, let me see you stealing things and break your two legs!"
After those people finished scolding, they hurriedly left, and the foolish monk picked up two steamed buns and gnawed them vigorously under the eyes of everyone, where was there a little bit of the demeanor of a great monk.
Li Qianmo was very confused, jumped from the window to the street, and strode in front of the foolish monk, who just stuffed the last piece of steamed bread into his mouth, looked up and saw Li Qianmo, chewing the steamed bun and muttering: "Why are you again." ”
"It's me again. Li Qianmo nodded and smiled lightly, and finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked, "Master, since you want to find the Buddha's way, why do you still steal, doesn't Buddhism have precepts, stealing should be regarded as a big precept." ”
The foolish monk swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth, slowly got up and said: "What is the precept, if there is nothing to eat, a certain family will starve to death, if it is dead, what is the way to seek." He paused, and then said, "Besides, a certain family did not steal in vain, and every time they stole it, let them beat them up, and they made money." ”
Li Qianmo was speechless when he heard this, and looked at the foolish monk with tears and laughter, feeling that although this old monk acted and spoke strangely, it seemed to contain supreme philosophy.
"Don't laugh. The foolish monk glared at him and continued, "Although the Buddha's words are cloudy, all laws are empty, and the body is like a skin, but that is just the Buddha's idea, but a certain family thinks that since you want to help the world with Buddhism, you must first ensure that you are alive, because there is hope when you are alive, and when you die, everything is really empty, so do you hand over the burden of helping the world to others." ”
Li Qianmo nodded when he heard this, and praised convincingly: "The master is really high-minded, and his ideas are very different from those of ordinary monks, and the younger generation admires them." ”
"Here you go again. The foolish monk rolled his eyes angrily and said, "Don't wear a high hat for a certain family, a certain family knows that he has a few catties and a few taels, and he has not participated in enlightenment for thousands of years. He shook his head and sighed to himself.
Li Qianmo heard that he had been practicing asceticism for a thousand years, and suddenly remembered a saying, so he asked: "Master Yu, I heard that there were originally two great monks in Jialan Temple, one is the current abbot of Guankong, and the other is his senior brother Master Guanming, but he suddenly left Jialan Temple a thousand years ago, and there is no news, many people think that he has been seated, and I don't know if Lu Dao is you." ”
Hearing this, the foolish monk looked up at the sky, his expression was a little lonely, and after a long time, he sighed: "For a thousand years, a certain family has gained nothing, sigh, sigh." He shook his head again and sighed.
His appearance was already a tacit acquiescence, Li Qianmo was extremely surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that he could meet the famous monks of the five continents when he wandered around, it was really lucky.
Guan Ming was famous in the five continents a thousand years ago, wisdom is incomparable, has given many people a high finger to point the maze, to resolve their demons, Li Qianmo at this time in his heart just confused, immediately arched his hand and said: "Master Guan Ming, I am really lucky to meet you here, there is a lot of confusion in my heart, I want to ask the master to guide the maze." ”
"Pointing out a fart, a certain family still needs someone to point out. The foolish monk rolled his eyes angrily, picked up his crutches and turned to leave.
Li Qianmo hurried to catch up, chased after him and said, "Master, I am really confused in my heart, and I need your advice." ”
The foolish monk continued to move forward, without looking back, and said: "I know my heart best, why do I need a certain family to give advice, just think about it yourself." ”
Li Qianmo was unwilling to give up, and kept following him, the foolish monk walked for a while, suddenly froze, turned his head and said, "What are you doing with a certain family?"
Li Qianmo arched his hand and said: "Ask the master for guidance." ”
The foolish monk was helpless and said, "If you like to follow, follow it." With that, he continued to walk forward with his cane in hand.
Li Qianmo drove up again.
The foolish monk walked out of the town and walked west, Li Qianmo followed him and asked, "Where is the master going?"
"Desert. The foolish monk said lightly, stopped speaking, and walked straight forward.
The two of them had good foot strength, and they went into the desert that night, and as far as the eye could see, it was golden.
The desert was extremely cold at night, and the foolish monk was tired of walking, so he came to sit down and rest next to a few camel thorns, and Li Qianmo sat down beside him.
"How long will Tan Yue follow a certain family?" the foolish monk turned his head to look at Li Qianmo.
Li Qianmo smiled and said, "When I solve the confusion in my heart, when will I leave." ”
Guan Ming shook his head and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.
Li Qianmo looked at the foolish monk who described the withered monk, looked at the endless desert, and asked curiously, "Master, what are you doing in the desert?"
"Seek the pain of the flesh. The foolish monk closed his eyes and replied.
"Oh, the master is an ascetic, I almost forgot. Li Qianmo smiled and took out a pot of wine to drink.
The foolish monk smelled the aroma of wine, opened his eyes and looked at Li Qianmo, pinched Tian's chapped lips, and asked, "Did you bring water?"
"I didn't bring it. Li Qianmo shook his head and raised the wine jug in his hand, "There is only fine wine, does the master drink it?"
"Alas, drink a drink. Guan Ming sighed softly, reached out and took the flask and drank it.
Li Qianmo was stunned in place, he was just talking and playing, but he didn't expect this monk to be so unruly and actually drink.
"Master, drinking is a violation of the commandment. Li Qianmo reminded.
"A certain family knows. The foolish monk said, took a breath and poured wine again, drank two sips, and finally enough, handed the wine back to Li Qianmo, and said, "If there is wine in the heart, it is wine, if there is no wine in the heart, everything is the same." ”
"No wine in your heart?" Li Qianmo was stunned when he heard this, and muttered his words, feeling that there seemed to be a supreme mystery hidden in these words, but he couldn't understand it for a while.
Seeing him frowning and thinking hard, Guan Ming couldn't help but sigh: "That's it, you are very confused, all of them are said, a certain family will give you a detailed reference." ”
"Ah, thank you, master!" Li Qianmo was overjoyed when he heard this, straightened his thoughts a little, and said, "I had a love affair with a senior sister surnamed Kong about ten years ago. ”
"Huh?" Guan Ming didn't expect him to say such a thing as soon as he opened his mouth, and he screamed in surprise, staring at him dumbfounded.
Li Qianmo also found that he had spoken abruptly, and he suddenly felt embarrassed, scratching his head in embarrassment, and didn't know how to continue.
"It's okay, go on. The foolish monk put away his surprise and waved his hand to let him continue.
Li Qianmo nodded and continued: "Just a few months ago, I had such a relationship with a girl surnamed Fan. ”
"Ahh
Li Qianmo also felt that he was really a little ridiculous, and turned his head away in embarrassment.
The foolish monk was speechless, and said helplessly: "That's it, you continue." ”
Li Qianmo nodded: "Actually, ......"
"Wait!" Guan Ming suddenly raised his hand to stop him.
"What's the matter with the master?" asked Li Qianmo puzzled.
Guan Ming smiled faintly and said, "How many women did Tan Yue have such a relationship with, just say it all." ”
Li Qianmo hurriedly shook his hand: "No, just the two of them!"
"Oh, that's good, go ahead. Guan Ming nodded and let him continue.
Li Qianmo pondered for a moment, and said with a sad brow: "Actually, I made a three-life covenant after that incident with Senior Sister Kong, and my heart is always concerned about her, and I have never forgotten it, but it is really not what I want to do with Miss Fan, and now I don't know how to face Senior Sister Kong, nor how to face Miss Fan, and ask the master for advice." ”
After listening to this, the foolish monk stroked his white beard lightly, as if he was groaning, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Tan Yue is the first person to ask a certain family for such a bastard problem. ”
Li Qianmo was embarrassed when he heard this, and his face was flushed and he apologized: "What the master taught." ”
The foolish monk got up slowly, holding a wooden cane in his hand, walked slowly in the direction of Mingyue, and said lightly: "Actually, a certain family doesn't understand love, and I don't want to understand it, but for the heart, a certain family still knows a thing or two." ”
Li Qianmo followed him and listened, without saying a word.
The foolish monk continued: "Cultivation is originally about cultivating the mind, otherwise a certain family would not have left a good temple and ran out to seek the true heart. The same is true for the love between men and women, only by treating each other sincerely can we plant Bodhi seeds, and only by witnessing the years can we bloom like flowers. He stopped when he said this, turned around and looked at Li Qianmo with a smile, which was meaningful.
Li Qianmo lowered his head when he heard this: "If I follow my sincerity, then I will continue to abide by the agreement with Senior Sister Kong and not inform her of this matter, but if I abandon the bell, the bell will go crazy, and he is not in a good mind......"
He looked up and saw Guan Mingzheng smiling and shaking his head, he couldn't help but be stunned, and wondered, "Isn't that what the master meant?"
"That's what a certain family means, that's right. Guan Ming smiled lightly, and suddenly turned around and said, "It's just that Tan Yue has a relationship with two women, this is not something that can be solved by sincerity, no matter which side Tan Yue chooses, someone will be injured, what Tan Yue has to do is to choose one, so that the other party will suffer the least damage." ”
"Then what should I do?" Li Qianmo asked urgently.
Guan Ming shook his head and smiled lightly: "A certain family doesn't know the way, a certain family has planted a Bodhi seed, as for whether it can bloom a flower, it all depends on Tan Yue yourself." He said with a long smile, turned around and strode forward, and said in a loud voice, "Tan Yue is a person in temperament, and a certain family is the most ruthless after a warning, love is a thing, it hurts people a lot, you can drink lightly, you can't hold anger, otherwise you will harm others and yourself, remember to remember." ”
When his voice fell, the person was already ten feet away, the moonlight made his bald head shine, and a song came from afar: "Everything has a way, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, should be view......ed as such."
