Chapter 453: Monks and Laymen Discuss the Tao

It's actually good to chat with the monk, and the words that are too wordy should be a test of one's patience, a test of how long it will take for oneself to be wordy before punching up to vent the long-suppressed mood.

So Li Su found Xuanzang and decided to let him explain himself.

Xuanzang slept alone in a small camp tent, this is Li Su's special care for him, even the food on weekdays is prepared for him alone, every day when the camp is set off, Xuanzang just packs up the burden and rides on a camel, the camp tent and some sundries have their own soldiers to help him clean up, this kind of treatment is really good for Xuanzang.

After paying so much for the monk, Li Su felt that he should charge some interest.

So Li Su chose an auspicious day of the zodiac when the sun was shining, entered Xuanzang's camp, and prepared to ask the old monk to relieve his mood.

Xuanzang was sitting cross-legged on a Persian carpet in the middle of the tent, muttering scriptures in his mouth, the curtain was opened, bringing a dazzling light, Xuanzang was unconscious, still reciting the scriptures with his eyes closed, and his expression was extremely pious.

Li Su's heart is like a mirror, he knows that the posture of this kind of outsider is generally very high, no matter how high the status of the powerful is, they have to ignore it, so that it seems unfathomable, and then ...... You will receive an additional tip when you approve the eight characters.

According to the normal development of the plot, at this time, Li Su should be like Liu Bei outside the thatched cottage waiting for Zhuge Liang to wake up, waiting for the great monk to finish reciting the scriptures, and then he can come forward to talk. A well-educated, learned and well-educated nobleman, patience and quality are the best skills they can use to please outsiders.

It's just that Li Su has never liked the normal development of the plot, and strictly speaking, although he is a nobleman, he is by no means a nobleman with quality. Especially after killing more people in Xizhou, Li Su's personality has faintly changed a little now. Whether it's chic and uninhibited, or whether it's a big complexity or simplification, in short, I don't care so much about the subsections.

After entering the camp, he waited patiently for a while, thinking that Master Xuanzang should get up and greet the guests when he saw him. As a result, after a while, Xuanzang was still chanting the scriptures with his eyes closed, looking like a master outside the world, Li Su couldn't help but be a little impatient, not to mention that Li Xianzi's mood today was not too good.

So Li Su coughed vigorously twice, but Xuanzang was still unmoved, and he didn't even raise his eyebrows.

"Is the master's chanting for the purpose of purifying sentient beings?"

Xuanzang's chanting voice finally stopped, and he opened his eyes to look at Li Su, his eyes were pure and clear.

"Monks chanting sutras are not necessarily for the sake of purifying sentient beings, sometimes monks can't even cross themselves. Being in the mortal world, so many worldly customs and rituals, even if you live alone in the mountains and forests, you can't avoid it, and chanting the scriptures just reminds the monk not to fall into it. ”

"Doesn't the monks pay attention to entering the WTO and being born? The bustling city and the love of the world are a good place to cultivate the Buddha's heart. ”

Xuanzang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "There are so many monks in the world, and some monks don't even know why they become monks. Where can we talk about 'entering the WTO', 'being born' and 'cultivating the Buddha's mind'? Poor monks worked hard from Datang to Tianzhu, and then from Tianzhu to Datang. It took several years on the road, Tianzhu practiced Buddhism for more than ten years, spent half of his life seeking the true scriptures of Buddhism back to Chang'an, in order to first of all unlock the demons in the hearts of monks, monks have Tianzhu scriptures, they know that Buddhism is boundless. After the transformation of the world, it will depend on them. ”

Li Su nodded, probably understanding what Xuanzang meant.

The topic of "Pudu sentient beings" is too big, if it is said that Xuanzang alone can purify all sentient beings in the Tang Dynasty, it is a bit ridiculous, and Pudu monks are the right ones.

The big reason is too lazy to talk about. Moreover, with Li Su's half-bucket of water, most of them can't argue with the monk, and there is no other purpose for entering the camp today, mainly to chat with the monk, and strive to reach the realm of the powerful monk's family is the realm of harmony and beauty.

"Why don't you knock on the wooden fish when you chant the scriptures?" Li Su suddenly asked. When I entered the camp just now, I felt that Xuanzang's chanting was very good, and there was a kind of magic that made people think and calm down, but it seemed that there was something missing in rhythm, and after thinking about it for a long time, I found that the sound of the wooden fish was missing.

"Wooden fish?" Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, and then his brows gradually furrowed.

"That's right, Muyu, knock knock on the same kind." Li Su was very puzzled, the person in front of him was also a Tang monk, why was he not professional at all?

Xuanzang frowned and thought for a long time, then said with a smile: "The 'wooden fish' mentioned by the county should be called 'wooden fish', which is indeed used when chanting scriptures, but ...... It is a utensil used by Taoists. ”

Li Su was taken aback, this sentence completely subverted his cognition: "How can the wooden fish be a Taoist?" Aren't they all knocked by monks? ”

Xuanzang said with a smile: "The monks do not speak, it is indeed used by the Taoists, it was originally a square made of wood, and later because the so-called 'fish' does not close his eyes day and night, he carved a fish on the wooden pounce to warn the monks to not forget the meaning of practice day and night, until the Jin Dynasty, it was gradually used by the monks of the temple, but it was not used to chant the scriptures, but the temple called the monks to eat, the Jin Dynasty had a monk named 'Fa Xian', wrote a book "Buddha's Record", which has a sentence ' Three thousand monks eat with a gand, which means that the monks began to eat after hearing the sound of the gandham, and the word 'gandmal' means wooden fish......"

Li Su's eyes widened, Muyu, what a tall thing, it turned out to be the bell of the monks' meals, and he instantly felt weak......

"Li Xianzi is looking for a poor monk today, is there something on his mind?" Xuanzang glanced at him lightly.

When this sentence came out, Li Su's indifferent and quiet mood suddenly became very bad.

"Master, I lost my money......" Li Su looked at him aggrievedly.

Xuanzang whispered the Buddha's name, and said slowly: "Money, hehe, pickled things, also known as Ah Duwu, the world is different from monks, it is because of the desire for power and profit, this desire for profit, probably inseparable from money, in fact, a person's life, grass and trees, money in hand, enough, why bother......"

Xuanzang really started to bara bala bala......

Li Su's eyelids twitched a few times, and he suddenly understood why Sun Wukong had to sacrifice his master to the Bull Demon King......

"Master, I understand the truth, but ...... I've lost my money! ”

Xuanzang froze for a moment, and then ...... I don't know how to persuade him, this person just can't get oil and salt at all.

"After all, it is a mortal person, who can't see through power and profit, Li Xianzi might as well read a few more Buddhist scriptures, "Lengyan Sutra" has clouds: ......"

"Master, I'm very busy, and besides, I don't have time to read Buddhist scriptures, so I can't understand them."

Xuanzang sighed, it is certain that this young magnate is afraid that he will not be able to cross, so he is good, he said it in vain just now......

"Why did Li Xianzi come to find the poor monk today?" Xuanzang said helplessly.

Finally getting to the point, Li Su perked up, stretched out his white left hand to Xuanzang, and said with a smile: "Please help me calculate the flow of the year, and see if I will break the fortune this year......"
