Buddhism

There was a cool breeze in the morning, and the dead leaves on the ground were rustling.Qing Mo supported Mu Youfang to walk back and forth in the yard, and after a few laps, beads of sweat oozed from Mu Youfang's forehead.He is still relatively weak now, and he has been lying down for a long time, and he is slowly recovering at this time.

Qing Mo supported Mu Youfang and sat down on the stone table: "Okay, let's stop here today and continue tomorrow"

Mu Youfang wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and nodded.

Qing Mo fetched a basin of well water and said to Mu Youfang who was panting slightly: "Come and wash your face, it's time for breakfast later."

With a smile on his face, Mu Youfang washed his face with the basin.He has long been accustomed to Qing Mo's meticulous care of serving tea and pouring water, and he is calm and content.It's because Qing Mo has taken care of him so considerately since the moment he woke up.

Because of Mu Youfang's support, Qing Mo is also willing to take care of him.

Qing Mo has a boisterous temper and is a chatterbox, and Kong Qing and Chi Tong feel noisy when they hear him say a few irrelevant words, so how can they listen to and agree with his talkative nature.But Mu Youfang is different, he is ignorant and Qing Mo has always been taking care of him personally, so he listens to Qing Mo's words with relish and believes deeply.

Chi Tong heard Qing Mo's outrageous words and refused to comment.But Kong Qing felt that Qing Mo was misleading his disciples. In order to stop Qing Mo from continuing to harm, Kong Qing pulled Mu Youfang over to study and practice calligraphy with him without thinking.

Mu Youfang likes to read and practice calligraphy. He has already obtained the title of scholar before. Because he has a cultural background, he can understand it after teaching it once, which is very worry-free.

After breakfast, Mu Youfang will practice Chinese and calligraphy with Kong Qing.When Chitong is interested, he will teach them according to the content in the book, but most of the time, he sits aside and reads miscellaneous books or closes his eyes and takes a nap.

When Qing Kong and Mu Youfang have doubts, they have to ask him for advice. Although his words and smiles are serious, he is not ruthless.And he is happy to teach them to read and write, so their questions can be answered patiently and meticulously every time.

After getting along for a while, Mu Youfang has adapted to the current life.He rests every day to recuperate from illness, reads and writes, and he lives a fulfilling and satisfying life.As for the things that he can't remember, he is also indifferent, it is best if he can remember, if he can't remember, then that's fine, Chi Tong said, he can't force it.

Whenever the three of them gathered around a table, Qing Mo, who didn't like to read and practice calligraphy, would keep a respectful distance.He either hides and sleeps, or goes to the mountains to pick wild fruits and delicacies, or goes down the mountains to buy some rice or something.In short, I just don't know how to read books and practice calligraphy with them honestly.

During Shen Shi, Kong Qing sat in meditation under the tree in the courtyard, and Mu Youfang went back to his room to rest.Chitong and Qingmo went to the mountains to pick wild fruits and treasures.

They didn't come back until evening.Chi Tong came back first, and went to the kitchen for a while to make dinner. The three of them sat around the table. Mu Youfang looked at the empty seat opposite and asked, "Where is Qing Mo? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

Chitong filled a bowl of soup and replied: "He was cleaning his prey by the river, and he should be back soon. He likes meat, so he won't eat dinner. Let's eat by ourselves."

"Prey? Meat?" Kong Qing asked in surprise, holding a bowl.

"Well, we picked it up." Chitong took a sip of the soup in the bowl, with the same expression and a flat tone.

"Then we're going to eat meat tonight?" Qing Mo had eaten meat for Mu Youfang two days ago, and he was overjoyed when he heard that there was meat, it was delicious.

"Yeah!" Chi Tong replied.

Mu Youfang, who was about to serve rice, heard the affirmative answer, turned the rice bowl and filled a bowl of soup.He wants to save his stomach to eat meat, so he doesn't eat, just drink some soup as a base.

After finishing the soup, Mu Youfang put down the bowl, and said to Chi Tong impatiently, "I'll go see if Qing Mo needs help." After saying that, he ran towards the river.

Looking at Mu Youfang's impatient back, Kong Qing squinted his mouth, and stuffed a big mouthful of rice into his mouth in anger, and the rice balls bulged his cheeks.Seeing this, Chitong thought it was funny, but didn't say anything.

At night, the fire outside the courtyard was bright and crackling.Qing Mo kept chattering about something, Mu Youfang happily agreed, and even Chitong who was outside the courtyard chatted from time to time, making it very lively.

Kong Qing sat alone in the courtyard, a little annoyed.

"Little monk, the barbecue that Chi Tong taught me is delicious, do you want to come out and try it?" Qing Mo shouted at Kong Qing outside the courtyard.

Kong Qing squeezed the book in his hand a little more, and said nothing, but he had scolded Qing Mo hundreds of times in his heart.Clearly knowing that he can't eat meat, this fellow Qing Mo has to barbecue outside the courtyard with great fanfare, and at this time he is even too direct to scream, it's simply irritating.

Kong Qing took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down and continue reading.And the smell of barbecued meat wafting from outside the courtyard rushed into his nostrils, and Kong Qing swallowed unconsciously.

The aroma outside the courtyard is overflowing, so lively.And he bit his lip and endured, really aggrieved.Kong Qing put down his book, stared at the courtyard door, closed his eyes and meditated on the floor, silently reciting the Qingxin Sutra.But it didn't work, the smell of meat couldn't stop coming into his nose, and the laughter outside the courtyard couldn't stop coming into his ears.Kong Qing disturbed his mind, unable to continue chanting sutras, opened his eyes, very irritable.

Chi Tong took a plate of roasted meat and walked over.Kong Qing looked at Chi Tong with resentment and turned his face away, the smell of meat became even worse.

Chi Tong put the meat on the stone table and sat down opposite Kong Qing: "I practice Taoism, but I also eat meat, it's no big deal. You don't have to be so patient."

Kong Qing lowered his eyes, seeming to have doubts, although he didn't immediately refute, but he didn't seem to agree.

"Wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha will keep it in his heart. Do you still remember this?" Chi Tong glanced at the barbecue in the plate, and asked Kong Qing.

This sentence was taught by Chi Tong in a miscellany two days ago.He also specifically told Kong Qing the deep meaning of it.Although this is very different from what Kong Qing has always observed, but after getting along these days, Kong Qing's mind is not as rigid as before.Kong Qing nodded to the deep pupils of Chi Tong.Although he didn't try his best to resist, but he couldn't accept it right now.

Chi Tong saw the dazed wavering in Kong Qing's eyes, and he continued without hesitation: "Buddhism pays attention to fate, and the mind is indifferent. We should treat things calmly, neither sad nor happy, neither harsh nor extravagant. At this time You have this desire, but you criticize yourself for patience, which disturbs your mind. If you don’t eat at this time, you may think about it in the future. If you think about it when you are about to die, you will regret that you have never tasted it. It goes against the grain, understand?"

Kong Qing looked at Chi Tong in bewilderment, he taught himself this way two days ago, and now he persuaded himself to eat meat, this is a bit too coincidental no matter how you think about it.

Chitong didn't change his face when he was looked at, and he continued to preach in such a serious manner: "You became a monk in the temple because the old abbot saved you. Now that he has gone, I believe that you have eaten a few mouthfuls of meat. , even if you return to vulgarity, he will not stop you."

Kong Qing remembered the amiability of the old abbot, and knew that he would do what Chi Tong said.Qing'an Temple has such a practice. The monks who grew up in Qing'an Temple since they were young, as long as they grow up to a certain age and can support themselves.

The old abbot would ask them if they would like to stay in the Qingming Temple to practice, if not, they would like to return to vulgarity.The old abbot would not persuade them to stay, but directly gave them some money and sent them down the mountain.Since then, they have entered the world of mortals, and their relationship with Buddha has come to an end.

Chitong continued: "Taoism cultivates immortals to slay demons, but also eats meat. But you practice Buddhism to save all living beings, and you are merciful. As long as you don't kill and don't cause karmic obstacles, why bother about it. People have The internal organs and appetite have their own reasons, you really don’t have to be so harsh on yourself. Isn’t there a precedent in your Buddhism for an arhat subduing the dragon?”

Kong Qing pursed his lips and said nothing, unable to refute.After all, he is a child who is not deep in the world, and his way of thinking has been subtly influenced a lot. At this time, he has been persuaded by Chi Tong in every possible way, and the last line of defense in his heart collapsed. He couldn't stop the glutton in his stomach, so he simply ate Had a barbecue.

The skin is crispy, the meat is fresh and tender, and the mouthfeel is fragrant. Kong Qing couldn't help asking: "What kind of meat is this? It's so delicious."

"The meat of the robe is still underage. Its mother was eaten by wild wolves, and it was also injured and could not survive, so it was dragged back and roasted." This is the truth. Chitong doesn't like killing. It was dragged back, and most of them were picked up halfway.

"Oh." Kong Qing lowered his head and ate, as long as he didn't take the initiative to kill him.He was about to die, and being eaten by wild wolves was also eaten, and being eaten by them was considered to be the best use of everything.

After eating a plate of barbecue, it was still not enough, so Kong Qing followed Chi Tong to the outside of the courtyard.

Qing Mo held up one leg and ate with great enjoyment. Seeing Kong Qing follow him out, he did not forget to lure Kong Qing in his busy schedule: "Kong Qing's meat is delicious, it would be a pity if you don't eat it." Qing Mo has been busy eating meat, so he doesn't know that Kong Qing has already eaten a plate.

Kong Qing ignored Qing Mo, sat down by himself, picked up the scimitar on the plate, cut a piece of roe deer meat, put it in his mouth and ate it.

Qing Mo was dumbfounded, he forgot to chew the meat in his mouth.Looking sideways at Chi Tong, why did he go in for a while, and Kong Qing agreed to return to vulgarity?

Chi Tong nodded calmly.Qing Mo gave him a thumbs up, and said silently, amazing!There was admiration in his eyes, and there really was nothing Chitong couldn't do.

Qing Mo poured a bowl of wine and pushed it to Kong Qing: "How can you eat meat without wine, come and drink!"

After eating all the meat, Kong Qing didn't mind the wine anymore, so he immediately took the bowl and drank it up.The fruit wine entered the throat, sweet and mellow, Kong Qing liked it very much and then drank another bowl.

Fruit wine is not easy to intoxicate, so Chi Tong didn't stop Kong Qing and let him drink to his heart's content.

Kong Qing was persuaded to eat meat and drink wine, which made Chitong feel very relieved.After spending so much time, it was not in vain.Kong Qing eats meat and drinks wine, which not only means that he has eaten, but also represents a change in his attitude and character.

At this age, he is so delicate and intelligent, but this is too abrupt and mature for a child who is under ten years old and should be ignorant and happy.Chi Tong hopes that Kong Qing can be as simple and happy as Qing Mo, and don't need to be overly cautious in everything, it's really okay to make a little mistake, just live happily.

Kong Qing always wraps himself up too tightly, not showing any signs.This made Chi Tong inexplicably unhappy, it was too deep, without the innocence and cuteness of a child.He and Qing Mo are two extremes. He is getting more rigid at a young age, and he is considerate in everything.And Qing Mo has lived for more than 1000 years, and he is still ignorant and ignorant, causing trouble everywhere.For these two extremes, Chitong didn't take too much thought.Chitong sighed: If the two of them could complement each other, it would be much easier.

Qing Mo drank the wine in the bowl and said: "Little monk, then you don't need to chant sutras and Buddhas in the future?"

"Yes, why not?" Kong Qing asked.In fact, he has no desires or desires, he doesn't want to be an official in the court, and he doesn't want to be rich, he just wants to live a mediocre life.Cultivating Buddhism is pretty good. When he grows older, he will go out to travel and do his best to help those in need.

"You have broken the precepts, what are you doing as a monk! Isn't it good to return to vulgarity, let's return to vulgarity!" Qing Mo excitedly persuaded Kong Qing to return to vulgarity.After returning to vulgarity, not only can you eat a lot of delicious food, but you can also marry a new wife.

Kong Qing glanced at Qing Mo's excited and malicious face, pulled the corner of his mouth, and said two words: "No!"

He ate a piece of meat and continued: "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha will keep it in his heart! Eat or not, as long as you are devout to the Buddha, why should you care about these external things." Kong Qing raised his head and drank another bowl of wine.

Qing Mo was dumbfounded, looking at Chi Tong's silent inquiry, is there such a saying?Chi Tong looked back lightly, took a sip of wine, and responded silently.Qing Mo sighed: "Increased knowledge, increased knowledge!"

"You don't usually study, now you know your knowledge is shallow!" Kong Qing was slightly drunk, deliberately mocking Qing Mo.

"Heh! You little monk, you drank my wine and still dare to laugh at me, spit it out for me!" Qing Mo said and was about to rush towards Kong Qing, pretending to be fierce.

Chi Tong raised his hand to block him back, glanced at him indifferently and said: "I don't know how to make progress?"

"Hmph, I don't ask high officials to do it, so why do you want to be more motivated? Why don't you eat more meat when you have this time!" Qing Mo didn't think so, and continued to eat meat.

The educated youth with red pupils, Mo Zi, had a serious heart, but he was afraid that he would really pounce on him, so he just choked him, telling him not to torment Kong Qing.

After Mu Youfang drank a bowl of wine and green ink, he didn't give him another drink, but he could eat whatever he wanted.It was the first time he ate such delicious meat, and he couldn't stop talking, so he didn't talk to them.He was eating meat while watching them chatting, eating with relish and listening attentively.

They ate and drank for nearly an hour.Kong Qing leaned over on Chi Tong's shoulders, in order to prevent Kong Qing from falling to the ground, Chi Tong stretched out his hand and brought his crooked body into his arms.

No matter how sweet the fruit wine was, it was still wine. Kong Qing drank several bowls in a row for the first time, so it was reasonable to get drunk at this time.

Kong Qing's eyes are slightly closed, his fair cheeks are bright red, the corners of his mouth are still stained with meat, and his mouth is slightly pouted, showing a little cuteness of a child.Chitong smiled slightly, and wiped off the meat and oil stains from the corners of Kong Qing's mouth.

A gust of cool wind hit, and Kong Qing subconsciously burrowed into Chi Tong's arms.Chitong raised his hand and covered most of him with his sleeve, Kong Qing muttered something, Chitong listened for a long while but couldn't hear what he said clearly.

The food was almost finished, Chi Tong stood up holding Kong Qing by the waist, and walked into the courtyard.

Qing Mo ate the meat, and shouted to Chi Tong's back inarticulately: "You haven't finished eating yet, why did you run away?"

"Don't eat!" Chi Tong dropped three words, and disappeared after stepping into the courtyard gate.

Qing Mo pursed her mouth and muttered, "What a disappointment!"

Mu Youfang immediately poured Qing Mo a glass of wine, and said with a smile, "Qing Mo, drink!"

Qing Mo turned her head to look at Mu Youfang, whose fangs couldn't be seen while smiling, and she was consummated.Isn't there someone to accompany me? Although I don't know how to drink, it's the same to eat meat with me.

Since he was full last time, Mu Youfang had his own sense of proportion. He was already [-]% full after eating, and he just ate with Qing Mo and poured wine for him.Qing Mo had a huge appetite, and he insisted on eating the barbecue on the shelf until he was satisfied and followed Mu Youfang back to the room.

The cold wind swished, rustling the bare branches outside the courtyard, like night cry, very shrill.

The lights in the wooden house were turned off, and the people lying on the bed let out even breathing sounds.I only felt that there was a warm stove beside me, and I slept deeply, without dreams all night.
