The Days of Opening a Restaurant on an Abnormal Earth

Huang Zeying felt that his Guanzhu Xu was definitely mentally ill. Why do monks give alms as a family monk? Even if you want to give alms, but you tell others: Buddha is the way?

Is this a shot in the head? ! Can such words be said to monks? Aren't you afraid that other Buddhas also have fire to give you a Tathagata palm? ! Do you know how powerful they are? What if someone punches out all your poop with one palm?

This is really...

"I really didn't expect..."

When Master Tzu Chi appeared in front of Huang Zeying with the ascetic monks, Huang Zeying really did not expect it.

"Wuliang Tianzun, it's been a long time since Headmaster Xu." Master Tzu Chi shook his head.

"Amitabha, Master Tzu Chi, long time no see." Xu Canghai said Namaste in return.

Huang Zeying looked at this strangely, he couldn't help but asked Xu Canghai in a low voice: "My Lord, are you playing cross-dressing?"

"Hey, let's be serious. This is our mutual respect for each other's sects and teachings. Over the years, Buddhists and Taoists have met, so they always salute like this. I do the Buddha salute, and he salutes the Tao, which means mutual respect. .In the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, there is me in you, and you in me.”

"We have had the myth of Buddhism and Taoism in myths and legends since ancient times. You see, when I rode an ox to the west and turned into Hoover, then there was Buddha. So Buddha is Tao."

Huang Zeying OS: Daoist, are you sure you won't be beaten if you say that?

Sure enough, next, Huang Zeying heard the benevolent and kind-hearted Master Tzu Chi say: "Amitabha, Guanzhu Xu is joking. Lao Tzu's transformation of Buddha is far-fetched. It is a folk storyteller's story, so it can't be true. Buddha is the way to listen to." It’s good to just listen and laugh, you are the teacher of Quanzhen, so it’s better not to give young people strange knowledge about popular science.”

Xu Canghai: "What's so strange, folk tales, there may be some groundless rumors for no reason."

Master Tzu Chi: "Oh, so it is true. Back then, Sun Wukong frightened the Jade Emperor into jumping into the table by making troubles in the Heavenly Palace, and finally shouted [Quickly go to the Western Paradise to invite the Tathagata Buddha]?"

Xu Canghai: "One size fits all! This plot was modified by the 86 version of Journey to the West itself. It is not like this at all in the original work. It is time to take care of the censorship of Chinese TV dramas. Changes cannot be made up randomly, and jokes cannot be nonsense!"

Good guy, Huang Zeying thought about it on the spot.

However, although Xu Canghai and Master Tzu Chi were negotiating about the origin of Buddhism and Taoism, there was no sense of gunpowder in their words, and they even seemed to be teasing each other.

This kind of religious harmony can probably only be seen in the local sects in China. Because Chinese mythology has already merged Buddhism and Taoism.

Just as Fengshenyanyi merged the three religions after the prehistoric mythology, Journey to the West merged Buddhism and Taoism.

Huang Zeying knows that there are some very unique folk customs in today's Guangdong Province and southern Fujian, such as [English singing and dancing] and [Official Generals' Head], which are the product of the combination of Buddhism and Taoism.

Especially the [officials and generals], almost all of them have no distinction between Buddhism and Taoism.

Obviously it is a ritual used by the Dizang Nunnery to worship the Bodhisattva and exorcise evil spirits, but under the influence of the wise Bamin people, the [official generals] has become more and more free.

For example, when jumping [Official General Head], Gain and Loss II will step on the Tiangang Beidou step, and even carry a Tai Chi diagram.

What's more, among the traditions circulating in the Bamin area, there is a very Taoist custom of Ksitigarbha asking the gods. And it is different from the gods in the Northeast, who are all snakes, rats, weasels and other Baojiaxians such as Huang Daxian. Dizang invited God to ask the most powerful Dharma protector beside Dizang Bodhisattva - the two generals of gain and loss.

In China, the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism have long been that there is a me in you, and you in me, and it is difficult to distinguish each other.

Looking at the scene of Xu Canghai and Master Tzu Chi chatting harmoniously, Huang Zeying couldn't help but think: The good thing is that it is in China, if it is put in other countries, let those monotheists get together, they can type out their brains.

And what's even more outrageous is yet to come.

Today, the residents of Zhongnanshan City witnessed a very miraculous scene on the street. Two Taoist priests took a wretched middle-aged man to a restaurant to buy vegetarian dishes. On the roadside outside the restaurant were 18 monks meditating. .

"Shopkeeper, make 18 servings of vegetarian fast food. Let me see. Here is fried tofu and fried vegetables. This stewed beancurd stick has no meat, right? I'm serving it to the monks outside."

Xu Canghai asked the shopkeeper. The owner of the shop seemed to be half a believer in Buddhism, because Huang Zeying looked at him wearing a big gold chain with a jade-carved Guanyin on it.

I just don't know if this big gold chain will float up after being launched into the water? Is the jade tablet stained marble?

The shop owner looked at the ascetic Master Tzu Chi and others outside, and he almost blurted out: "This seaweed stew has no meat, and it has a fragrance, but I stew it with bone broth powder. It's not a meat dish, right?"

"Okay! I've always thought your house was stewed seaweed in bone soup for so many years! Boss, you are deceiving my feelings!" Some diners in the store were dissatisfied on the spot.

The owner of the shop with a sultry face said nonchalantly: "Four yuan is a big bowl of stewed seaweed, and you still expect me to use bones to make soup for you? I am your father?"

"Ah, this..." The diner was speechless for a while.

However, Xu Canghai didn't buy this stewed kelp, because it had a meaty taste, and he was afraid of causing trouble. In the end, I bought fried tofu, fried vegetables, and fried cauliflower, and then I bought staple foods such as steamed buns, pancakes, and white rice.

Originally, the shop owner didn't want to take money, and even wanted to give it to the monks outside for free.

But Xu Canghai said that he must give money. There is no money ring in Quanzhen, Taoist priests in Quanzhen Taoism are subsidized, and they can also use money to shop. It's just that Quanzhen advocates frugality, and does not buy other unnecessary enjoyment items except for the necessary daily necessities.

So under the curious eyes of the citizens, Xu Canghai took Huang Zeying, and the two Taoist priests began to give alms to the monk.

"Wuliang Tianzun, the mages eat." Xu Canghai could make some harmless jokes to Master Tzu Chi and the monks of Dabei Temple, but Huang Zeying didn't dare, he still respectfully brought food to every monk.

The monk who got the food would also reply: "May you have good luck." This feels very strange, and Huang Zeying thinks it seems a bit awkward to do this in Taoist robes.

On the street, it's normal for them to do such a thing in such attire, causing passers-by to watch. Many citizens took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and even prepared to upload videos to short video platforms.

The Chinese love to watch the excitement. There are also many Buddhist believers who wanted to give money to Master Tzu Chi and others, but they were blocked without exception.

For these believers, Master Tzu Chi asked the monks to take out their own printed scriptures from their bags and distribute them to the believers.

Later, there were too many onlookers, and many people who got the news rushed over. There were at least several hundred people on the inner and outer third floors, and it was already affecting the traffic.

Master Tzu Chi had no choice but to move to a small square nearby and directly lecture on the meaning of Buddhism.

"Hey~ Our Taoist sect is still too free. Our believers are not so enthusiastic." Xu Canghai couldn't help sighing as he watched hundreds of people gather around the eighteen ascetics to listen to the Dharma.

Huang Zeying also nodded: "Yes, but Taoism is natural."

"It's not wrong." Xu Canghai praised Huang Zeying: "But I am a natural Taoist Zodiac, don't you think there is something missing?"

"Missing?" Huang Zeying touched herself: "The phone is still there, the money is also there, and the underwear is also on. The sword is still on the back, what is missing... Oh, I'll go! Where is Huang Liqun?! A man who was so big just now It’s here, why is it missing?!”

"Monastery Master, let's look for it quickly, there must be a big problem with this person, let's get him back quickly! Otherwise, there will be a fork!"

There were too many onlookers just now, and Huang Zeying found that she had forgotten about Huang Liqun when she was busy just now.

Xu Canghai was not in a hurry: "Don't worry, let the thief run for a while."
