104 Journey to the West (4)
Sun Wukong angrily snatched the bag and said, "Go, stay and go." Then he smiled at Tang Seng and said, "Master, you eat fruit." ”
Tang Seng stretched out his hand to take it. Sun Wukong and Sha Seng also picked up the fruit and ate it.
Lin Tingyu watched from the side, if her own body had eaten so much, it was estimated that she would have vomited a long time ago. However, when she saw that the master and the three brothers were eating so with relish, her amazing little belly became restless again.
"Senior Brother Sha, what kind of fruit are you eating? Is it delicious? Lin Tingyu deliberately ran to the side of the sand monk and asked a little shyly. Even if this girl is not divided into one or two, she must respond to the sand monk.
Sha Seng said: "Apple." Senior brother is looking for apples this time, you have eaten so much, don't you know that this bag is full of apples? As he spoke, he honestly spread out the apple in his hand.
Lin Tingyu wanted to reach out and get it, but he felt his ears tight, but he was grabbed by Sun Wukong.
"Bajie, you want to rob Senior Brother Sha's fasting again." Sun Wukong snorted.
Lin Tingyu really realized the strength of this Monkey King, and her ears hurt so much that her tears were about to flow down, and she exclaimed: "Oh, Brother Monkey, let go, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts......"
"Wukong......" Tang Seng frowned and shouted.
Sun Wukong then remembered that this little junior brother was a woman, so he quickly let go of his hand, coughed embarrassedly, rolled his eyes, and threw one of his apples to Lin Tingyu a little speechlessly, and snorted angrily and turned his Luo lap legs. Ran and nibbled on apples.
A trace of undetected anger flashed in Sha Seng's eyes, and Tang Seng and Sun Wukong were unaware.
However, Lin Tingyu has been working hard to cultivate the spiritual power cultivation method called "Divine Revelation" these days. Her mental strength has greatly improved compared to the past, and she actually caught this trace of hatred that flashed in the eyes of the sand monk.
She looks honest, but in fact, she has a small belly and chicken intestines, isn't it just to see that the senior brother gave the little white pig an apple? Lin listened to Yu's heart, opened his big mouth and took a bite of the apple fiercely, and ate it with relish.
Since Sha Seng wants to attack Tang Seng, he is bound to get rid of the little white pig, a rival in love. Therefore, there will definitely be another shot.
Lin Tingyu decided to wait and see what happened for the time being.
What Lin Tingyu didn't expect was that it was less than three days. This sand monk is a little reluctant to make a move!
Early in the morning of this day, Lin Tingyu sat next to Master Tang Seng with the amazing little belly of the little white pig. The master and apprentice watched the salute together. And Sun Wukong went out to look for food as usual. The sand monk is responsible for guarding the surroundings.
In order to draw in the relationship with Tang Seng, Lin Tingyu has been studying Tang Seng's favorite scriptures in the past few days.
These scriptures are not the same as the "Heart Sutra" or "Diamond Sutra" that Lin Tingyu often saw in this world. However, for the "Bodhisattva Precept Book" given to her by her master Tang Seng, she has also heard its name in this life.
This scripture is very tongue-twisting, and it is very difficult to read it smoothly all the way, let alone memorize it. However, Lin Tingyu has the ability to memorize Feng Yutong because of Feng Yutong's shorthand ability. If you read this scripture carefully, you will already have it in your mind.
It's just this verse. Lin Tingyu didn't understand too much, and it just so happened that this gave her the opportunity to get close to Tang Seng and get closer to the relationship between master and apprentice.
"Master, in the past, I have also seen some scriptures handed down by my Buddha, why do I feel so different from the one that Master taught me?" Lin Tingyu put on an open face to ask for advice and asked Tang Seng Dao.
Tang Seng patiently explained: "Most of the scriptures you read before belong to the category of "Sutra", but this "Bodhisattva Precepts" belongs to the "Vinaya" department. Because you are a pig's fetus, you like to eat and sleep, and you have many greed, hatred, and obsession, and the reason why the teacher asked you to study this "Vinaya" is that I hope you can be familiar with the precepts of my Buddha and be more vigilant to yourself, so as not to violate them in the future. ”
Lin Tingyu nodded, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that the master is so well-intentioned. Master, the text of this "Bodhisattva Vows" is so difficult, I ...... I can't read most of it. ”
Later, she looked ashamed, scratched the back of her head, and buried her head in a red face.
Tang Seng said: "You have not been exposed to this kind of classic book in the past, and you feel that its meaning is remote and difficult, which is really ordinary. It doesn't matter, if you don't understand something, come and ask as a teacher. ”
The sand monk in charge of the vigilance couldn't stand it anymore.
The two masters and apprentices, a man and a woman, leaned their heads together, talking with great interest, it is easy to make people think about it, although one of the two of them is a handsome face, and the other is a pig's head and pig body, the scene of the two getting together is obviously not matched, but it still can't stand the brain supplement of a certain person with three views of the world.
She walked over and said, "Master, the second senior sister likes to eat and sleep the most, you might as well find some simple and easy-to-understand scriptures for her to read." This "Bodhisattva Vows" is so difficult to read, I am afraid that she will fall asleep before she can read it. ”
Tang Seng immediately straightened his face and said: "Eh, where is this, you must have perseverance in cultivating Buddha, how can you know the difficulties and retreat?" Eight precepts, since you are dedicated to the Buddha, you must not do less because of your own greed and hatred. ”
Lin Tingyu hurriedly said: "This is nature. Actually, Master, although this Bodhisattva Vow is difficult to read, since Master passed on this sutra to me the day before yesterday, even when I was walking, I have been silently reciting it in my heart, and I dare not waste it in the slightest, and now I have almost memorized this scripture. ”
Tang Seng was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Oh? Then, you can memorize it and listen to it as a teacher. ”
Lin Tingyu immediately got up and stood up, put his hands behind his back, and carried it in a proper manner: "If all the bodhisattvas have received the pure vows of the bodhisattvas, they should count and think about it......."
Tang Seng saw that this second apprentice Zhu Bajie really memorized the "Bodhisattva Precept Book" that he had just taught her, and he sprinkled it with enthusiasm, the eldest one, it was really as she said, almost memorized, and Tang Seng didn't hear a mistake.
About two moments later, Lin Tingyu recited to the end of this scripture: "...... Bodhisattvas should be respected, and they should be respectful and dedicated to studying. ”
After reciting, Lin Tingyu sat back beside Tang Seng with a look of please, and asked, "Master, do you think the apprentice is good at reciting?" ”
Tang Seng was overjoyed and said: "I didn't expect you to memorize the scriptures." In the past, you are always confused, and the most greedy is to eat and sleep, which is quite contrary to the hard practice of my Buddhism.
Looking at you now, I know that although you can't get rid of the gluttony and sleepiness of the pig fetus for the time being, you are more diligent in kung fu, and you really look down on you as a teacher in the past, and you will pay more attention to your practice in the future. ”
Sha Seng listened to it so boringly, Fang Cailin listened to a lot of mess on the back of the rain, except for the word "Bodhisattva" kept hearing, the others didn't understand at all. If it weren't for the fact that Master Tang Seng listened with great interest, she had to listen carefully, I am afraid that she would have fallen asleep.
At this time, hearing Tang Seng praise Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng felt extremely uncomfortable. She didn't want to be excluded by Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie, so she immediately looked sincere and begged to learn, and said: "This scripture is really mysterious, forgive the disciple for being ignorant, although I heard the second senior sister recite it once, but it is difficult to understand, I don't know if the master can explain it to the disciple, so that the disciple can deeply understand my Buddha Dao." ”
When it comes to Buddhism, Tang Seng naturally takes the trouble to see that the two apprentices are so studious and progressive, how can there be any reason to be unhappy? At the moment, he talked like a river, and talked eloquently.
In order to establish his position in Tang Seng's mind, Lin Tingyu listened carefully, and from time to time raised some incomprehensible points for Tang Seng to answer.
In order to complete his strategy task and defeat Zhu Bajie, a rival in love, the sand monk naturally pricked up his ears.
"Wujing, you are honest and honest, and you have a calm temperament, so you can rest assured as a teacher. However, in terms of understanding in Buddhism, compared with your second senior sister, it is far behind. ”
After the two apprentices studied, they all had questions, and Tang Seng soon discovered the gap between the two on the way to Buddhism, and couldn't help but teach.
However, diligence can make up for shortcomings, and understanding can also be cultivated through hard study. In the future, if you study the classics as hard as your second senior sister and work hard, maybe one day you will surpass her in understanding. ”
In the previous paragraph, Tang Seng clearly pointed out that Sha Seng was far inferior to Zhu Bajie in terms of understanding, but in the latter paragraph, he was encouraging Sha Seng. As for whether he can really catch up and surpass him through hard work and hard work in terms of understanding, no one knows.
Lin Tingyu was secretly proud in his heart, but on the surface, he behaved innocently, and said: "Master, I just read the "Bodhisattva Precept Book" passed down by Master for the past two days, so I have more understanding. If Senior Brother Sha can also read this sutra diligently, he will surely be able to surpass me in this understanding. ”
As she spoke, she handed the "Bodhisattva Precept Book" that Tang Seng gave her to Sha Seng and said, "Here, Senior Brother Sha, I have memorized this scripture, and I will transfer it to you now." We are all apprentices of the Master, and I believe that the Master will not only want to teach it to me but not to you. So, I'll pass it on to you for the time being, and Master won't mind. ”
She turned to Tang Seng and looked at Tang Seng with a pair of big round eyes, her eyes revealing an inquiry.
Tang Seng nodded and said: "Yes, as a teacher, you have high hopes for your senior brothers, Wujing, you are honest and calm, but in terms of intelligence and activity, you are actually better than your second senior sister."
She is a pig's womb and has a stupid brain, but because she is willing to pay hard work in the past two days, even if she usually leads the horse to hurry, she has never left behind in her homework, and she has been able to memorize this scripture word for word in two days, which shows the hard work she has put into it.
You must also be like your second senior sister, and you must not waste your hard work as a teacher. ”
Sha Seng held the "Bodhisattva Precept Book" in both hands, scolded Zhu Bajie hundreds of times in his heart, and by the way, he also greeted Zhu Bajie's relatives and ancestors. (To be continued......)
