Buddhism

Kong Qing and Chi Tong lived in the capital like this, and Qing Mo would take them out every day to go shopping, eat and drink, in short, they had enough fun.These days they also played everywhere in the capital, Qing Mo decided to take them to have a look outside the city.

He vaguely remembered that there was a high mountain towering above the clouds outside the city, which had an unusual feeling. He had planned to check it out before, but he didn’t have time to go when they came. It would be best to go with them at this time Yes, there are people talking on the road, so why not do it.

Today, Mu Youfang Moxiu calculated that there would be nothing to do in the near future, so he asked for two days off, in order to show his kindness as a landlord.The four of them did not bring a servant, nor did they ride in a carriage or ride a horse.It was rare to meet the good weather, the blue sky was very clear, the sun was covered by white clouds, and the breeze was blowing. Several people decided to go on foot.

It is best to be able to go up the mountain, but it doesn't matter if you can't, anyway, they have plenty of time, and it's the same if they go up the mountain the next day.The four of them were leisurely and in a good mood, chatting and laughing on the road with great interest.Qing Mo likes to ignore strangers, but he has no place to talk too much about familiar people, and he chatters non-stop along the way.

The three of them all raised their lips to listen to his eloquence. Although he was not as smooth and humorous as Liu Zhouyun, he had sincere enthusiasm and humor.

Stopping and walking along the way, I suddenly saw a teahouse at the foot of the mountain and stopped, stopping to drink tea and take a break for lunch.The teahouse is simple, with only four small square tables in a small room.The four of them looked at it and found that there were not many dishes, so they simply ordered a bowl of beef noodles for each of them.

The shopkeeper glanced at the monk's attire, Kong Qing, and thought, "Isn't it strange that all the monks are vegetarians? Why do they still eat meat?"

Kong Qing met the puzzled eyes of the shopkeeper, smiled slightly, and did not explain.

Although the store owner didn't understand, he also knew that everyone has his own temperament. He is just a small business, and he is not familiar with other people. It is really inappropriate to ask too many questions.Seeing that Kong Qing and his group are dressed in simple clothes and elegant demeanor, they must not be ordinary people.He swallowed his doubts and walked towards the back kitchen.

Qing Mo sat on Kong Qing's left, he intentionally poked Kong Qing's shoulder, and teased: "Whether you are in the capital or traveling outside, your habit of eating meat like a monk will always make people puzzled!"

Kong Qing took a sip of tea, smiled lightly and said, "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha will keep it in his heart. Why should you care too much about other people's gossip and incomprehensible strange eyes."

Chitong nodded calmly, Ruzi can be taught, he taught it right.

Mu Youfang lowered his brows and smiled slightly, he remembered these words, it was Chi Tong who painstakingly taught Kong Qing.A smart person like Kong Qing probably had already noticed Chi Tong's intentions and just accepted it readily.

Qing Mo laughed loudly: "You didn't enter a formal Buddhist temple, so you don't have to abide by their conventions." Qing Mo looked at Kong Qing's bald head and continued: "Otherwise, you might as well grow your hair long, isn't that the case? Save a lot of trouble."

Kong Qing shook his head: "It's fine to grow your hair, I don't like it!"

Qing Mo suddenly remembered the scene where Chi Tong had to shave Kong Qing's head every month, and a smile filled the corner of his mouth.He looked at Kongqing and then at Chitong maliciously.Kong Qing lowered his eyes and sipped the tea, unable to see what was going on, while Chi Tong drank the tea with the corners of his mouth slightly raised with a very happy expression.

Qing Mo smiled and said with a clear heart: "If you don't like it, it's fine."

Mu Youfang smiled and shook his head, seemingly helpless.He knows Qing Mo's little thoughts clearly, just because he pays too much attention to understanding Qing Mo.

The four of them drank tea and chatted while waiting for the top.

At this time, a handsome young man in white clothes Shengxue, with a white half-moon auspicious cloud tied on his smooth forehead, entered the door.Seeing the figures of the four people, he was a little surprised, then he took a deep look at the direction of Chi Tong and the others, and sat down at the table near the door.

Chitong glanced at the door calmly, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he recognized that this was the Taoist priest in white who looked strangely at him in the restaurant and teahouse, named Mu Liang.

The shopkeeper went up to him and asked, "What would you like to eat objectively?"

Mu Liang said coldly, "A bowl of plain noodles."

"Okay, just wait a moment." The shopkeeper poured Mu Liang a glass of water, then turned and went into the back kitchen.

Here is at the foot of the mountain and there are no guests, there are only five of them and two tables of guests in the small teahouse.

The topic came to an end, Qing Mo turned the teacup and looked around boredly, his eyes shot at this dazzling white figure.He was dressed in clean and bright white clothes, and sat with his back straight. Although Qing Mo could only see his side face, he could feel that this man was extraordinary.

He stared straight ahead, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, expressionless.With a thin and indifferent aura, coupled with a white dress, he has a bit of a fairy bone style that does not eat fireworks.

White clothes, white forehead, hair bands are all white, Qing Mo raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips, thinking: How much does this person love white, his expression is cold and solemn, and his clothes are different from ordinary people, what a strange person.

When he was in the restaurant and teahouse, his attention was all on Chi Tong and Kong Qing, and he didn't notice that he and Mu Liang had already met once.He looked at Mu Liang without hesitation like this, Mu Liang naturally noticed it, and turned his head to meet his gaze.

The eyes of the two collided, Qing Mo's eyes were full of curiosity and doubt, while Mu Liang's eyes were calm and indifferent.

Qing Mo didn't feel embarrassed when he was caught peeking at others, so he blinked his eyes and turned his face away very naturally.He thought to himself, this person looks up to Zhou Zheng, but his face is cold and expressionless, which shows that he is quite boring in life.

In Qing Mo's eyes, Zhou Zheng looks like Pan'an in the eyes of the world.He thinks that someone who can't be compared with Chitong's appearance is a good evaluation, but there are very few people in the world who can be compared with Chitong's appearance.

Mu Liang saw that he looked away as if nothing had happened, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, like a sneer, but also seemed to have some other meaning.

The shopkeeper held a large tray with four bowls of beef noodles on it, and placed the noodles in front of them one by one. "Objectively, the four bowls of beef noodles are all ready, please use it slowly." After finishing the noodles, he turned and went into the back kitchen.

He could vaguely hear a female voice talking to him. The female voice was deep and aged, and it seemed that his wife was in charge of the kitchen.This kind of small teahouse on the way is usually a private small teahouse, which is managed by the family.

The four bowed their heads and ate the noodles. Mu Youfang picked out all the beef in his bowl and gave it to Qing Mo. Qing Mo buried his head in eating. Seeing that there was more beef in his bowl, he raised his head and smiled at Mu Youfang, and continued eating up.

Kong Qing and Chi Tong didn't change their expressions, they were used to it, quietly eating the noodles in their bowls.Mu Youfang already had this habit when he lived in Yunshan.As long as it was meat, he would probably give it to Qing Mo. Qing Mo was heartless and never refused. After a long time, everyone got used to it and it was no surprise.

Mu Liang looked at it calmly. It is rare for four big men to get along so harmoniously at a table. The youngest monk among them is a bit interesting. He wears a string of Buddhist beads on his chest. Eat meat.

Mu Liang picked up the water glass and hid his chuckle under the water glass. Although there are precedents for Buddhist disciples to eat wine and meat, but this is not common. Most Buddhist disciples still follow the strict convention and follow the five aggregates. All four are empty.Get rid of emotions and desires.

Except for the little monk who was a little bit Zen, the other three people in their group had no accidents. It can be seen that the little monk is probably a casual monk.Therefore, there are no rules and regulations in Buddhism, so you can be free and easy.

He does not follow and is not controlled by Buddhist rules, but he voluntarily maintains the characteristics of a monk. He is also an interesting person.

Although Mu Liang concealed it well, Chi Tong still saw the upward curve of his mouth, and Chi Tong saw it clearly through his secret observation.This time they are out to play, so it's not good to lose interest casually, Chitong thought: as long as this person doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, it's better to be honest, then they can live in peace.But if he insists on causing trouble, I don't mind teaching him what it means not to meddle in other people's affairs.

Some mortals who practice are mostly pretentious. Chitong knows that Mu Liang has some Taoism, but he takes it calmly, because Mu Liang's current Taoism can't threaten him.

The four ate noodles, and after paying the money, they continued to follow Qing Mo to the destination.

As soon as they left, Mu Liang ate the noodles and then left too.He found that Chitong and the others were going in the same direction as he was going, and because he was always suspicious of Chitong, and he had another purpose for this trip, he quietly followed.

Chitong noticed something, but still kept his expression on.

Qing Mo was walking in front, but he turned his head and stepped back.Mu Youfang wanted to stop him from walking unsafely, but he didn't stop him as the road ahead was flat.Instead, she walked quickly to his side, paying attention to his actions, in case he accidentally bumped into something, she could remedy it in time.

While walking backwards, Qing Mo asked Chi Tong and Kong Qing: "I came to ask you a few days ago, but I forgot it for a while, and I just remembered it. Are you going back this time?"

He knew that Chitong and Kongqing had held the Cloud Academy, and he was able to come here this time because of the two-month long vacation in the summer heat.So Qing Mo wasn't quite sure whether they were going back just for fun, or they were staying in the capital.Although Chitong has no interest in the capital city, after playing in Kongqing these days, he is very interested.

Chi Tong said: "The Yun Academy is entrusted to a scholar with good character to take care of it, and we will not go back for the time being."

Before Qing Mo was happy, he thought they were staying in the capital.Kong Qing said: "We plan to stay in the capital for a while, and then go to other places to see if we can meet Nan Ming on the way."

Speaking of Nanming, Mu Youfang sighed: "He has been away for so many years, and he hasn't been back once?"

Qing Mo let go of his disappointment and echoed: "That's right, that heartless kid, even if his wings are hardened, he doesn't know how to come back and have a look."

Kong Qing smiled and said: "Although I have never been back, I have written back."

Qing Mo felt that Nan Ming favored one and discriminated against the other, and said very unfairly: "Why don't you see him writing to me?"

Chi Tong glanced at Qing Mo, as if looking at an idiot: "He never knew your address, how could he know where to send your letter."

Qing Mo's words were really out of his head, and Mu Youfang immediately helped him out: "Then next time we get his address, we'll tell him our address."

Kong Qing shook his head: "It's always been him who occasionally sends a letter back, and we have never sent it to him. He has been traveling and has no fixed residence. If he sends it back to the address he sent it, he will probably not receive it. .”

Qing Mo pursed his mouth, turned around and walked, obviously not very happy.

Mu Youfang also knew this reason, so he didn't say anything now.He looked at Qing Mo's sluggish expression and frowned slightly. Qing Mo probably wanted to go with Kong Qing and the others.Mu Youfang sighed softly, not knowing what to say.
