The things on the rivers and lakes can be summed up in two sentences.

And all the things in the world, when they come to the monk's mouth, can be summed up in just four words.

Whether it is birth, old age, sickness and death, love and hatred, joy, anger and sorrow, or all the worldly fetters, when it comes to the monks' mouths, they all turn into a sentence of Amitabha.

Amitabha is still the same Amitabha.

As for the mystery of it, it is up to the people in the middle of it to understand it themselves.

When Ergou had never been out of the temple, Ergou felt that the temple was his whole world, and the little Ergou felt that the temple was really big, and he had two small short legs, and it would take a long time to turn the temple around.

Later, Ergou went to Mud Village, and Ergou felt that the original world could be bigger, and Mud Village became Ergou's whole world.

Ergou's worldview is only limited to here, the mud village, the stone mountain, and the three monks in the nameless temple.

Ergou even thought for a long time later that there were only three monks in this world, the abbot, the master, and his own, and the other monks were fakes.

Later, the two dogs went down the mountain, walked the rivers and lakes, for a long time as long as they met the monks, the two dogs would be angry and copy the guys, come forward to theorize, always think that the other party is a fake monk, among which there are many disciples in the temples with a good reputation, the most famous is the Shaolin Temple, as well as the White Horse Temple, Lingyin Temple, Hanshan Temple, Daming Temple. There are countless other temples that are not well known. Without exception, in front of Ergou's eyes, there was only a beating, and all of them were beaten until the other party admitted that he was a fake.

For this reason, I don't know how many monks from Youfang suffered a tragic disaster, walking and walking, a bald head appeared out of thin air, and he didn't say anything, he came up and beat him, and asked while beating him.

Say, are you a fake monk? Who made you a fake monk? What a boldness, you dare to fake a monk?

Do you dare to talk back? I still say that I am a monk, I am a monk, why haven't I seen you, tell me quickly, is it fake? If you don't tell the truth, I will kick you to death as a fake monk today!

Who has copper skin and iron bones, rough skin and thick flesh that can resist beating, after a few strokes, he has to compromise and beg for mercy.

Don't fight, don't fight, can't I admit that I'm a fake? Don't fight, I'm a fake monk, I'm a fake monk...

The bald head that came out of thin air stopped and asked, are you sure? I didn't force you, you admitted it.

Your martial arts are higher than mine, and you are right in everything you say.

The bald head asked again, then if you don't refute it for a while, it can be regarded as having some integrity.

I don't refute, integrity is not important, the important thing is that I am afraid of being beaten, what you say is right, listen to you, listen to you...

Then it's done, if you dare to pretend to be a monk in the future, let me see you again, I will kill you directly. Let's go.

The day after the monk was beaten, an interesting story came from the rivers and lakes.

In a certain temple with a decent reputation in the rivers and lakes, a disciple with good qualifications and qualifications suddenly became vulgar.

The first thing the disciple said after returning to the world was to say to all the monks in the monastery, "Tomorrow I will get married, and then all the people will come to my house to eat and drink."

Ergou told Master about his knowledge of the world. But the master knocked on the head of the second dog with his hand in the shape of a button door, what is in your head?

The master said to Ergou, the mud village, the stone mountain, and this nameless temple are just a grain of sand and gravel in this vast world, just like a drop of water in the water tank in front of you. For the world, it's not even a drop in the bucket. The world is as big as you can imagine. Do you understand?

Ergou nodded as if he didn't understand, oh for a moment.

The master was very proud, looked at Ergou and continued, You are still young, there are many things that you don't know, I will teach you slowly. Is there anything else you want to ask now?

Master felt that this was a good opportunity to demonstrate his profound knowledge. I was very glad in my heart.

Master, what does it mean to have a dime? As soon as Ergou's voice fell, Master's hand trembled.

The water scoop that I had just picked up in my hand was crushed in half at once. The second dog sees it really.

The master didn't speak, he shivered and took water from the water tank with a half-broken scoop, poured a few sips, looked at Ergou with disappointed eyes, sighed, threw down the scoop, and sighed alone, the son can't be taught...

After saying that, he shook his head, went to the backyard, passed through the back door, and went to the field to weed.

Many years later, Ergou finally confirmed Master's words, the world is really big beyond his imagination, and the rivers and lakes are also rivers and lakes that he can never finish.

People's cognition of things needs to be gradual, from macro to micro, from the surface to the inside, little by little accumulation, little by little analysis, constantly asking questions, and then looking for answers, in the process of asking and answering again and again to understand the world.

The same is true for two dogs, there are different problems at different ages. If you have a question, you need to find an answer.

What are rivers and lakes?

This is another headache for Ergou.

The first time I heard the word Jianghu came out of Master's mouth.

In the master's mouth, the rivers and lakes are a dream-like place, fresh clothes and angry horses, sword galloping, swords like dreams, happy enmity, although Ergou still can't understand, but Ergou thinks that the thing called Jianghu is really excellent. It seems to be much more interesting than this nameless temple. It's even more interesting than the huge stone mountain, no, plus the mud village is not as interesting as the rivers and lakes. Ergou felt that he wanted to see what this river and lake was like.

Master, I want to go to the rivers and lakes?

Master said that the rivers and lakes are very good, but the rivers and lakes are also very dangerous. If you don't do it, you'll lose your life.

Master, I'm just going to take a look, take a look and come back, and I'll be fine.

Master said to Ergou that once you enter the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that many things will not be for you to decide. It's not like you just say go, and when you say come back, you'll come back.

Ergou also naively said that I ran fast. I guess no one can catch up if I want to come back, and a few days ago I went to the back mountain to pick wild fruits, and Ah Huang was not as fast as me.

Master said that there are many people who can run faster than you on the rivers and lakes, and you can't outrun others. The masters of the rivers and lakes are like clouds, and your temper is not good, you are so stupid, if you enter the rivers and lakes, you will definitely suffer. Now that you are still young, don't think about these things related to the rivers and lakes for the time being. Chanting the Buddha well is better than anything else.

Master, how can you become a master?

Master said, I don't know the specifics, anyway, there are a lot of rumors, some people say you have to jump off the cliff, some people say you have to jump into the river, in short, it's very difficult to do, you don't die, if the opportunity comes, you will get a magic weapon, peerless martial arts, a panacea or something, and then you can become a master. This is a quick process, short time, and quick results.

Jumping off a cliff and jumping into a river, the technical content is very high, and the danger factor is still very large, I'm afraid I can't do it. Ergou thought to himself. Master, is there a way to be slower and safer?

Master thought about it, and there were.

Ergou asked excitedly, Master, what is it?

The master said lightly, carrying water, sweeping the floor, and chopping wood.
