Being favored by evil gods, I became sick and weak and became the Bone Bodhisattva.

"Tangtang is gone, goodbye!"

After watching the caravan leave, Fu Guixiang still stood there and stared for a long time until the little girl could no longer be seen.

................

The Sang Kingdom is known as the Buddhist Kingdom on Earth, and even the leader of the Sang Kingdom calls himself the 'Buddha King'.

In such a country, monks can be found everywhere.

"It's good, it's good. The donor has accumulated good karma, and the Bodhisattva will definitely bless him."

After arriving in Sang Country, we said goodbye to everyone in the caravan who had a good time with us along the way.

Tangtang came to a restaurant and was about to eat something to fill her stomach. Unexpectedly, she saw a "wonderful scene".

A dozen bald men lined up in a row, each holding a very special-looking bowl.

The restaurant owner kept bringing them food and meals. After thanking them, the uncles took the food and left without paying at all.

The uncles with bald heads should be monks, Tangtang knows.

But Tangtang didn't understand the term "begging for alms". After all, the three nuns from Shaohua'an had never begged for alms in front of her.

The little girl was so surprised for a moment that she stared at the door for a long time. It wasn't until all the monks finished alms that she walked in, stroking her empty belly.

"Boss, a bowl of porridge, a side dish, and a steamed bun."

"okay!"

After tasting the food from Sang Country, Tangtang felt... why is it similar to the food from Wu Country?She also thought that food from different countries must taste different.

With a subtle sense of loss, the little girl took out the money and handed it to the boss.

"Guest, this is Wu's money."

"Yeah yeah"

"This is the country of Sang. The country of Sang does not accept money from the country of Wu."

what!

Sang Guo actually didn't accept Wu Guo's money. Tangtang didn't know about this kind of thing.

The little girl didn't want to default on the bill, but she couldn't pay with the money in her hand, so she couldn't help but feel very anxious.

Seeing Tangtang's anxious look, the boss thought about it and decided to waive her meal payment.

On the one hand, the little girl didn't eat much, and on the other hand, the boss also noticed that Tangtang didn't come here intentionally to get free food.

After hearing the boss smile and say that there was no need to pay, Tangtang thanked her very gratefully.

After thanking them, the little girl couldn't help but ask: "Boss, when those uncles came to bring food just now, you didn't seem to accept the money. Why?"

That's of course because they are monks.

The boss was originally going to say this, but he wanted to tease the little girl, so he changed his words: "Because they have alms bowls, there is no charge for eating."

Chapter 082 Buyu Temple

Is the alms bowl the special, big and strong-looking bowl that monks and uncles have?

After Tangtang asked, the boss nodded.

It's amazing. It turns out that with an alms bowl in your hand, you can make food for free in Sang Kingdom!

"Are you from the Kingdom of Wu?"

Since there were not many customers, the boss casually chatted with Tangtang.

"kindness!"

"Coming to Sangguo to visit relatives?"

"No, no, Tangtang is here for a trip."

Huh?

The boss couldn't help but ask: "You are alone and can't spend any money, so how do you deal with food and accommodation?"

This is a good question. If Fu Guixiang were here, he would definitely be so upset that he would be slapped on the head.

He has rich experience in the world of martial arts, but because he has never been abroad, he actually ignored such a critical issue.

As for the caravan...if Tangtang had that intention, of course they would be happy to help exchange the money from the little girl.

The key thing was that Tangtang didn't say anything. They thought Fu Guixiang had been prepared.

"Well, there's always a way to do it later!"

The little girl didn't worry much, she replied very optimistically.

Optimistic people are more likely to gain favor from others, especially cute little guys like Tangtang.

The boss was just casually chatting with Tangtang, but now he couldn't help but want to help.

"Buyu Temple will start giving porridge as usual in three days. I'll go talk to some masters and ask you to come over and help."

The first thing to do is to pack rice, so that three days' worth of food will be provided.

Coupled with the porridge day, the little girl will not go hungry for at least four days.

Not only that, if the little girl is diligent and can take this opportunity to form a good relationship with Buyu Temple, she will have many opportunities to make a living in the future.

"You wait!"

The boss hurriedly ran out. He caught up with the masters who were begging for help in the restaurant just now. He pointed to the little girl waiting at the door and talked to her about his love.

....................

"Haha, little girl, you are lucky. The masters are bodhisattva-hearted and have already agreed to let you help."

"thank you boss!"

Tangtang was very moved, and her impression of Sang Guo suddenly became very good.

She felt that there were good people everywhere here, and she was really in the right place this time.

But one thing is quite strange...

"Boss, since those masters have food for themselves, why do they still come to your place to get food?"

They can even give out porridge, so there must be no shortage of food in the temple.

Since there is no shortage of food, why not eat your own food?

"That's a bad word."

The boss shook his head and said, "Masters don't come to my place to buy food, but come to ask for help."

"Almsgiving?"

"Yes, I just gave alms to a few masters and formed a good relationship with them. If I didn't have this good relationship, I would be too embarrassed to bother them about your affairs."

The boss said leisurely: "This is the wonder of fate! So even if there is no shortage of food in the temple, the masters still have to go down the mountain to ask for alms in order to form a bond."

It turns out that making rice with a bowl is not called making rice, but is called alms.

"Tangtang understands!"

Haha, the little girl is quite smart, it’s hard to say that she is really related to Buddhism.

......................

There is a famous temple in Sang State called [Buyu Temple].

The previous abbots of the temple were eminent monks and great virtues, and they practiced closed-mouth meditation all their lives. This is the origin of the name of the temple.

A strange little girl from Wu country wants to help make porridge. Although this is a small matter, it is still necessary to inform the host.

"..."

After listening to the reports of the monks, Master Liaojue nodded.

Then he picked up the wooden fish and signaled that it was time for everyone to do the rest of the homework for the day.

The homework of Buyu Temple is particularly arduous, which may be several times that of other temples.

And the sutra recited is also very strange, called "Enter Ding Sutra".

If you want to go back further, this is the rule set by previous generations of presiding officers.

【Happy luck, not willing to die. 】

[After leaving the customs in seven days, I will realize the path to immortality. 】

[Don’t go out for seven days and chant sutras to ensure peace. 】

After leaving these words, the previous hosts closed their doors to death.

As a result, now everyone has to recite sutras to keep themselves safe.

The reason why the homework is so heavy is known to all the monks, but there are probably not many who truly believe it.

state--

I saw a monk lost his mind while chanting sutras, and suddenly a wooden fish stick hit him on the head.

Facing the stern look from the host, the monk confessed his crime and quickly pretended to do his homework seriously.

I read it from afternoon to evening, and it was not until dinner time that the lesson came to an end.

The monks went to have a fast. They had previously strictly urged everyone to get some sleep, but now they were sitting on the futon, knocking on the wooden fish and began to silently recite the meditation sutra in their hearts.

The name of Buyu Temple comes from the fact that the abbots of all generations have practiced Shunkou Zen. But for the past two generations, or even the previous generation, in addition to the abbot, there are other people with great perseverance practicing Shukou Zen in the temple.

However, now in the entire Buyu Temple, only Liao Jue is practicing closed-mouth Zen, and he is not sure whether his legacy can be passed on.

In such an environment where "there are no other practitioners in the temple except for Sutra", it is no wonder that people do not take the admonition of chanting sutras to ensure safety seriously. Many times they are saying it but not meaning it.

......................

The starting work is not heavy, but it is many and tedious.

The little girl came early in the morning and was busy until it got dark.

It is inconvenient for female guests to stay in the temple at night, not even for little girls.

After Tangtang finished her evening fast, the monks asked her to leave.

The little girl was taken in by her boss last night and stayed overnight in a restaurant, but today she has nowhere to go.

Thinking about the woodshed she saw at the foot of the mountain when she went up the mountain, Tangtang asked if she could live there.

"Woodshed..."

It’s not that I want to embarrass the little girl, but strictly speaking, the woodshed at the foot of the mountain also belongs to the temple.

If she lives in a woodshed, is it the same as staying in Buyu Temple at night?

The monk who was questioned by Tangtang seemed very embarrassed. At this moment, Master Liaojue noticed the situation here and came over.

"Good host!"

The little girl said hello with a smile, and nodded with a smile.

"Host, the young benefactor wants to stay in the woodshed, but that place also belongs to my Buyu Temple, and the disciples think it's inappropriate."

state--

The wooden fish stick hit the monk on the head, and he shook his head repeatedly.

"Yes, I will let the little benefactor stay somewhere else."

state--

"Yes, disciple, I will send the little donor to the woodshed now."

state--

"Yes, yes, disciple, disciple, please send me another quilt."

After hearing this, Liaojue finally nodded slightly.
