Evil Dao Ghost Confucian Demon Monk

Chapter 27

After the old monk finished reading the scriptures, he asked the monks to disperse.

"Wenze, you are here." The old monk looked at Chen Wenze kindly and said.

"Hello Abbot, I brought two friends to visit the temple." Chen Wenze stepped forward to ask the old monk Heshi for a letter.

"Oh, let's sit in the Zen room." Although the old monk is not deep in Buddhism, he is quite kind.

"No, just take a walk around the temple." Chen Wenze said.

Wang Jitu asked suddenly: "Master, what sutra did you recite just now?"

The old monk said: "It is the Mahayana classic of Buddhism, the Diamond Sutra."

Wang Jitu said embarrassedly: "Can I borrow some?"

The old monk said: "All right, these scriptures of Buddhism are intended to be widely circulated and to form good karma. Since the layman is willing to read it, this is also the method of karma with my Buddha. Wen Ze, help me go to the Zen room Bring it."

Chen Wenze responded and went straight to the backyard.

The old monk was kind-hearted, not like a monk but more like a neighbor's grandfather. Seeing Chen Wenze walk away, he started nagging at Wang Jitu: "Wenze doesn't have many friends. I have only met one in these years. That person Like a skinny monkey, his temper is also impatient. I didn’t expect to see two more today.” Before Shangguan Chouchou could speak, the old monk continued to babble: “Wen Ze grew up in a temple. Buried in the ground by cruel parents, or by cruel gangsters, it was Lao Chen who was walking on the side of the road and just heard crying under the soil, so he dug him out and saved his life. This child's life is hard, but since childhood He is smart, and those who usually help Lao Chen do this and that can learn it as soon as possible. There used to be a scholar who was rushing for an exam in the next room, and Wen Ze learned some articles from him. Enrolled in school and was admitted as a scholar.

It's a pity that I don't have the life to be an official. I heard from Xiangke that if you can't get a ranking in the imperial examination, you will never be able to make a living no matter how many books you read. This year is like this again. , do not say. "

Seeing that Chen Wenze had run back, the old monk was merciful and didn't want to hit him face to face, so he immediately shut up.

Chen Wenze handed the Diamond Sutra to the old monk.

The old monk picked up the scripture with great care and sighed: "This scripture says whether it is deep or not, and people with understanding can understand it as soon as they hear it. But it is not superficial. I have read it for so many years, but I still don't understand it. Understand the true meaning of it. Since you are interested in it, and you are also a person who has the karma of Buddha, this book is given to you."

When the three of them returned to the wing room, Wang Jitu held the scriptures and read them at night by candlelight.

In the early morning of the next day, Shangguan Chouchou rode out on a yellow horse for a round, and ran to Wang Jitu's door smilingly with a basket in his hand, calling for the door.

As soon as the door opened, only a shining bald head was seen in the room.

Shangguan Chouchou also said that some master came here, and hurriedly hid the basket behind his back, but upon closer inspection, it turned out that this person was Wang Jitu.

I saw that Wang Jitu shaved off all his hair and beard, and his majestic and majestic face turned into a solid and honest face, with a silly smile on his face, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't connect with the bearded face before.

"Oh!" Shangguan Chouchou suddenly realized: "You want to leave here in disguise, let alone, if you don't look closely, you really won't be recognized."

Wang Jitu shook his head and said, "I chanted sutras until midnight last night, and suddenly realized that only the Dharma can liberate me. I know where I came from and where I'm going. I really want to be a monk. Don't ask about cause and effect in the world. , I just want to be free. I don’t have to worry about my ancestors anymore, and I don’t want to worry about my fate anymore.”

Shangguan Chouchou's face was tense, so he could only sigh: "I bought too many buns. It's a pity that Shilipo's delicious meat buns, the skin is thin and the stuffing is rich, and the juice is dripping in one mouthful, and the mouth is full of fragrance." Picking up one from the basket Just bite it, and the fragrance is tangy for a while.

While Shangguan Chouchou was chewing, he heard the sound of swallowing saliva next to him. Turning his head, Wang Jitu stared blankly at him while stroking his bald head.

Shangguan Chouchou said: "This master, as an eminent monk, the first thing to quit is meat."

The fake monk didn't have a foolish smile on his face, he quickly picked up the buns from the basket and chewed them wantonly, and said vaguely: "I haven't worshiped Buddhism yet, I just shaved my head, that doesn't count."

Shangguan Chouchou squinted and said with a smile, "Do you like meat?"

Wang Jitu is also an honest person, he picked up another one and stuffed it into his mouth, nodded and said, "Love!"

Shangguan Chouchou said disdainfully, "Then why should I be a monk?"

It happened that Chen Wenze passed by here and said with a smile: "Don't you hear that wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Lord Buddha sits in his heart."

When Wang Jitu heard this, he held up his thumb and praised: "Brother Chen said it well!"

Of course, I don’t avoid meat and fish, but when I eat, I can’t help asking myself whether this heart towards Buddha is sincere or dishonest.

Time flies, time is like a song.

Although it has only been a few days, Wang Jitu has fully recovered.

At this moment, the spring breeze was blowing, and the air was fresh and pleasant. The bald young general picked up a thick wooden stick and danced a part of his family martial arts.

Wang Jitu's family martial art follows the masculine lineage, and he has always worked hard to make his body strong, as hard as a mountain.

Seeing that Wang Jitu was in good health, Shangguan Chouchou decided to leave for Nanzhao in the near future.

As a key criminal of the imperial court, Wang Jitu couldn't live in Shu for a long time.Hearing Shangguan Chouchou's proposal to go to Nanzhao, he immediately stationed a stick to collect his merits.Wang Jitu had heard for a long time that Nanzhao was a country with prosperous Buddhism, and he could learn how to travel around without becoming a monk, so he nodded his head and was willing to go together.

For a few days, the two of them got along with Chen Wenze day and night, chatted and amusing, and got along happily. They also knew that Chen Wenze had a bookish spirit and was unwilling to join forces with the troubled times.Since they were about to leave at this time, they naturally hoped that Chen Wenze would go with them.

"Brother Chen, wouldn't it be nice for the three of us to travel together, talk about the world, and go to Nanzhao together."

Shangguan Chou Chou said sincerely.

Chen Wenze thought to himself that there is no way out anyway, and going out to play can relieve his worries, not to mention that now that the chaos in Shu Kingdom is approaching, going out to escape is also very good, so he readily agreed.

The three of them had nothing to pack, so they packed their luggage indiscriminately.Chen Wenze hurried into the temple to say goodbye to the old monk, and took a monk's robe when he came back.Wang Jitu had already changed into a monk's attire in the temple, and now he is wearing a moon-white monk's robe with patches, and he really looks like a monk.

The three of Shangguan Chouchou packed up their luggage and walked to the gate of the temple. Under the morning sun, smelling the fresh air, listening to the crowing of cocks and dogs barking in the distance, and feeling the tranquility and comfort of the field, the three of them couldn't help but take a deep breath. Take a breath.Looking back at the mottled temple gate, and smiling at each other, this trip is really a journey into the world.

The three of them didn't hesitate at all, instead they all laughed three times and walked out the door cheerfully.

In the middle, Shangguan Chouchou's eyes are clear, with the aura of letting birds fly high in the sky and leaping fish in the sea.

On the left, the bald-headed man Wang Jitu walks boldly. Even though he is dressed in a simple monk robe, he can't hide the temperament of a martial artist. It's just that there is a simple smile on his honest face, which makes his fierceness a little less .

On the right, Chen Wenze put on the navy blue gown, and this step carried a strong bookish look, with his head held high and his chest upright, showing more chivalry in the blue shirt.

The three people's aura blended together, and their arrogance shook the world.

Don't bully young people and be poor, the world is unpredictable, who knows what kind of world the three of them will walk out of, or a different kind of fairy world.

But at this moment, a little black cat followed, meowing and meowing, destroying the momentum that the three of them had just formed.

"Ouch, I almost forgot about you." Shangguan Chouchou slapped his forehead and slipped the cat onto his shoulder.

Wang Jitu threw the luggage on the little yellow horse, and the three immediately walked towards Splendid City with their heads held high.
