Chapter 187: The temple is a world of worldly places, and it is rare to have true nature.
The world is so big that the little monk only erected a merciful monument for Li Zi in front of the Northern Liang City.
The two religions of Buddhism and Taoism have been red in their faces and have been arguing for thousands of years, as if they have formed a big quagmire. The masters of both religions in the past cannot avoid the common people, either argue in the temple or write books to slander each other. They all have to struggle in this mud for a few times. There is a rare kind of person who is recognized by later generations to be able to get out of the mud without being stained. In the past century, a white-clothed monk appeared in Buddhism who went to Journey to the West to obtain scriptures, which alleviated the embarrassment of the three religions of this dynasty taking Confucianism as the first, followed by the second, and then followed by the Buddha as the bottom. Unfortunately, after the sudden enlightenment, it was a huge impact on the white-clothed monk and the two Zen temples. This tall monk once laughed at the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, just like two old farmers in the village robbed water and irrigated the fields. The water source was the same, but the amount of water was so high after all. Whoever steals more and robs more and cheats more water into his own farmland will have better harvests. As for water, you will naturally have to bump into it. You can’t convince the other party first, and then you can’t fight. If you have a good relationship with the pavilion leader, you will let the official who holds the weapons kill people.
This is naturally because the monk in white was ridiculed by himself, and also implicitly mocked Taoism Longhu Mountain to be close to the court and gain favor from the king. From the imperial palace to the city and the city, as many as six Buddhist destruction movements have occurred in history. The monks in white have fought against dozens of Taoist masters on the golden top of the Taoist ancestral temple twice, and they have won by means of killing one thousand enemies and losing themselves to eight hundred. Strangely, even if one side wins a great victory in the past, it will suffer countless criticisms afterwards. However, this monk in white who never talks all over the word won the staggering moment. Even the arrogant old gods of Longhu Mountain just smiled bitterly, without much grudge.
In recent years, some real people outside Longhu Mountain often quoted Buddhist teachings and wrote various classics to criticize and confront Buddhism. They carried a bookcase and went to the two Zen temples to find monks in white clothes to argue. As a result, they did not say anything after going down the mountain without exception. They kept silent when they asked questions.
Outside the hut on the back mountain of the Liangzen Temple, two bald monks, one big and one small, were bald monks basking in the sun. It is too close to the Forbidden Land Monument Forest, and there are few visitors, so there is no strong smell of incense in the temple that cannot be covered by the nose. There is a vegetable garden and chicken coop behind the thatched hut, and there are two peach trees in front, which are not old. One of the red peaches was planted when the daughter of a middle-aged monk was born. Later, he kidnapped a little fool Wu Nanbei from somewhere and planted another weeping peach. On the back mountain, the peach trees grow slowly and the branches are sparse. At this moment, the branches are green and the small bones are far from being plump.
Every year on the birthday of two children, the stupid master’s wife would carry a kitchen knife and pull the two children born on the same day of the same year and month to the peach tree, and put traces according to her height. Earlier, as a girl, Li Dong-Tiao developed early and grew fast. Every time she had a birthday, she was as happy as a yellow bird, chatting non-stop, and constantly touching the stupid little bald head, making fun of him as a short winter melon. Unfortunately, Feng Shui turns to change. When she becomes a girl and becomes a teenager, Li Dongdong is not happy.Now Wu Nanbei is taller than her, which makes Miss Li a little sad. If she is stupid and as tall as her father in the future, wouldn’t she have to tiptoe to touch his head?
The little monk does not need to explain the scriptures today, and he will take over the master to the lotus golden summit of Longhu Mountain tomorrow. The little monk is finally a young monk who can convince people with reason in both Zen temples. He can’t see any stage fright, but just asked depressedly: “Master, I will go to Longhu Mountain to quarrel with them tomorrow. Why are there any Taoist priests coming up the mountain to talk to you?”
The monk in white was lying on a rattan chair, stroking his bald head, and glimpsing his wife out of the hut to wash clothes. He said firmly: “Everyone knows that your master’s wife is good at cooking and is here to eat.”
The little monk was so stupid. He said honestly, “Ah, Master, why did you say that the plate of green leek salt that you bite spring yesterday was put in too much. I asked me for water to drink. But these Taoists are too greedy. Although the visitors are guests, the master’s wife has cooked a table of food, and they have eaten food, and they have to quarrel with you. If you can’t argue, you will be tantrums. Okay, Master, you think you are noisy in your ears. After leading them to the back of the house, you asked them to use your fists to explain the truth, you scolded the master and beat the master. In the end, the master’s wife would still smile and say that we are not. Alas, this world.”
The white-clothed monk was frowned fiercely by the woman. What’s the point of being invincible? The bald uncle frowned and his face was pitiful. When his wife holding the basin was snorting and walking away, he gently patted his stupid apprentice’s head, glared, and did not speak out to scold the young monk without any eyesight.
The stupid and north-south scratched their heads, as the east and west have said all year round, it was quite slippery and like a wooden fish. The young monk sighed and said, “Master, can I do it? If the quarrel is lost, if the old abbot doesn’t even send us copper coins, the master’s wife will definitely blame me.”
The lazy middle-aged monk said irresponsible: “The old abbot said you can, do you say you can?”
The young monk hesitated a little, “This is not good, it’s not good. The old abbot said that he was okay. Half a year ago, the foreign monk from Tianzhu said he wanted to build a temple and preach the Dharma. The old abbot agreed without saying a word, which made Abbot Huixian and the others who had been jealous of the land for many years. Also, a month ago, Master Falin said that he would return to secular life and not become a monk. He wanted to be a butcher at the foot of the mountain to be a butcher drinking and eating meat. For such a big thing, the old abbot just smiled and said that he was okay. Also, two days ago, Junior Yongfa, who was only eight years old, ran to the old abbot’s meditation room and said that he would pee there if he didn’t give it to food. The old abbot agreed differently.”
The white-clothed monk Yun Danfeng said lightly and asked back, “You can say you can, then can you do it?”
The stupid and northern black suddenly lit up his eyes and grinned and said, “I think you can.”
The monk in white said angrily: “What are you talking about? Go and see what you have done to help you pack your luggage. My daughter has never treated me like this. I feel upset when I see you. GoGo away. “
The little monk muttered, “Master, you won’t go down the mountain and travel far away. “
Seeing the master glaring, Ben Nanbei hurriedly raised his butt from the small stool, spread his feet and ran to the simple thatched hut. When he was jogging, the monk’s robe that was cleaned very clean by his master’s wife, and his two wide cuffs slowly floated without causing dust.
The monk in white closed his eyes and said lazily: “Master has traveled tens of thousands of miles and has completed his entire life’s journey. ”
There are three thatched huts, and the room of Bennanbei is next to Li Dongxi. In the hut, there are no extra items except for a bed, a table, a stool and a green lamp, plus a few Buddhist scriptures on the table. This is in sharp contrast to the messy pots and pans in the house of Master and the scattered beloved things in Li Dongxi’s boudoir. Li Dongxi sat on the narrow wooden bed of Bennanbei and was tossing and turning a simple numbness. In fact, she only had a few pieces of clothes to change clothes, but she stuffed some copper coins and silver she asked for from her mother, half of which were bought Buddhist scriptures for Ben Nanbei, and some asked him to go to the foot of the mountain to buy some cheap rouge powder, novels of talented men and beautiful women, small makeup boxes, etc. She was worried if the money was enough, and she frowned, and her expression was exactly the same as her father. Wu Nanbei didn’t say anything when he saw it, but just laughed secretly.
“Hey, stupid, this string of rosewood beads was given to me by Xu Fengnian, you can take it. He said that when walking in the world, one must pay attention to style, otherwise many guys will look down on others. I agreed to lend it to you, not to give it to you. “
“Master will be unhappy when you see it. You don’t even touch him. For this reason, the master had already recorded hundreds of knives for His Royal Highness in the account book. “
“Die North and South, then do you want it? ”
“Yes! “
“When you go out, you have to save some money. You know if you don’t have the money in the package. Well, if you don’t have enough money to buy books, then buy less rouge and water. Anyway, you are stupid and don’t know how to bargain, so you will definitely be slaughtered. Anyway, the rouge at the foot of the mountain is also OK. ”
“Oh. “
“Stupid, don’t talk to me, each person has half of the money, I agreed. Don’t buy me all the money, do you remember it? ”
“Oh. “
“Oh, you big-headed ghost! Also, I asked my dad to pick and stir-fry some tea for you. When I arrived at Longhu Mountain, I would give you more gifts and smiles when I saw people. The monks who went out in our family must be as tall as my dad. But if you are beaten, don’t be stubborn and run home quickly. I will tell my dad and ask him to vent your anger! “
“Okay, I know the importance. “
“There is one more thing, don’t forget. If you meet Xu Fengnian, remember to tell him to come to our house to play. ”
“Sure. ”
“When the time comes Xu Fengnian goes up the mountain, will you help my father or Xu Fengnian”
“Let’s help you.”
“Say it again!”
“Help Xu Fengnian.”
