After the long conversation with Lu Dashan, Xiao Zheng wanted to make another call to Shen Manjun. But I found that my phone was turned off unexpectedly. He couldn't help but put his cell phone away and walked to the wing muttering. Just as he passed through the dining room, he met Ye Yuhua who was chanting sutras in the Buddhist hall. What he was reciting was an unknown scripture, which sounded profound and obscure and difficult to formulate into sentences. Xiao Zheng originally wanted to go around secretly so as not to disturb Ye Yuhua's retreat. Unexpectedly, as soon as he lifted his legs and stepped out of the threshold, Ye Yuhua, who was chanting sutras under the Buddha statue, opened his eyes and said softly: "Azheng, can you listen to me recite a sutra?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng hurriedly turned around and returned to the Buddha statue. He sat cross-legged on the futon and said with a smile, "Okay. Mother-in-law, please tell me."
Ye Yuhua smiled slightly and said in a clear and euphemistic tone: "In ancient times, there was a king who became a monk, named Fa Zang. He made forty-eight vows. The first vow is that if I achieve Buddhahood, the hungry ghosts and beasts in the hells in the country will not achieve enlightenment. This is the vow of the evil path. I wish that if I achieve Buddhahood, the gods and humans in the country who return to the three evil paths after their death will not achieve enlightenment. Three wishes... If the gods and humans in the country have thoughts of those who are greedy for the body, they will not achieve enlightenment... If I achieve Buddhahood, All sentient beings in the ten directions who sincerely believe in and wish to be reborn in our country, even if they have even ten thoughts, will not achieve enlightenment. Only if they eliminate the five rebellions and slander the true Dharma... If I become a Buddha, if the heavenly people in the country think of those who are greedy for the body, "
Ye Yuhua's articulation is clear and his tone is gentle, and he narrates this Buddhist classic. He looked at Xiao Zheng with soft eyes and said, "This is the famous Buddha's Infinite Life Sutra."
Xiao Zheng nodded, and then exclaimed: "Master Fazang is a great sage."
Ye Yuhua said with a smile: "There are many living beings, but there is only one person in Dharma. Some people save all living beings, and some people save themselves. Those who save their whole lives are powerful, but those who save themselves are not wise."
Xiao Zheng nodded lightly, and then asked angrily: "Then who is this Master Fazang, and how much greatness has he achieved?"
Hearing this, Ye Yuhua couldn't help but clasped his hands and said slowly: "Gautama Siddhartha is the founder of Buddhism. His incarnation in Buddhism is to teach the Chinese Saha world known as the Great Thousand Worlds, named Sakyamuni Tathagata. Bhikkhu Fazang is in charge of the Western Paradise, named Amitabha."
"Amitabha—" Xiao Zheng's expression changed slightly and he said. "Then he's too pushy. He's even more awesome than he is here."
Listening to Xiao Zheng's absurd evaluation, Ye Yuhua smiled slightly and said: "In ancient times, saints and sages embraced hundreds of rivers. Amitabha Buddha made forty-eight vows to educate and enlighten the world. His ambition is so big that no one can match it. He is the head of ten thousand Buddhas."
Xiao Zheng scratched his head and said slightly embarrassed: "Mother-in-law, you suddenly told me about such a majestic figure, do you want to hint at something?"
Ye Yuhua smiled and said: "He is a saint, a sage in the scriptures. You are a mortal, a strong man in reality. He climbed to the top and became a Buddha immediately. You will be the leader every step of the way."
Xiao Zheng grinned, with a look of pride on his face, and said, "No wonder you love me so much, you think so highly of me."
Ye Yuhua smiled gently and said: "Do you still remember the words I gave you when we first met?"
"Which sentence?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
"Everything in the world is only the distance between a Buddhist bead." Ye Yuhua said as he took off a string of crystal clear Buddhist beads from his wrist. "This string of beads has followed me into Buddhism for twenty-two years."
Xiao Zheng was shocked when he heard this: "You want to give me this string of Buddhist beads?"
"You think it's shabby?" Ye Yuhua asked with a smile.
"It's too expensive." Xiao Zheng shook his head quickly. "I often hear people say that the most important thing you carry with someone is your spiritual energy. Once you leave your body, you may miss your spiritual practice, or you may mess up your Buddhist mind."
"Nonsense." Ye Yuhua chuckled. "Who are you listening to this nonsense?"
Xiao Zheng scratched his head and said, "I heard it from hearsay."
"Nonsense." Ye Yuhua shook his head and handed the Buddhist beads in his hand to Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng stopped refusing and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law." After a pause, he asked again curiously. "Didn't you say you would see me off when I come down the mountain? Why are you seeing me off now?"
"It's time for you to go down the mountain." Ye Yuhua said with a gentle smile.
"Going down the mountain?" Xiao Zheng was slightly startled, then scratched his head and said. "Did you hear everything just now?"
Ye Yuhua shook his head: "Monks don't listen to what is said across the wall, and don't pry into other people's affairs."
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng admired Ye Yuhua's cultivation even more.
In fact, Xiao Zheng's mood did change dramatically after he learned that Black Bear was captured and Mingzhu was in trouble. I am no longer as idle and heartless as I was a few days ago. He could feel the changes in himself, how could Ye Yuhua not notice it? Just by hearing his footsteps, which were very different from those in the past, Ye Yuhua guessed that he had something on his mind.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Zheng asked awkwardly: "It's only the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Doesn't it seem appropriate to leave so early?"
"Why is it inappropriate?" Ye Yuhua asked.
"I came here on my own initiative. Now I'm leaving in a hurry. I'm afraid Huayin will blame me."
"She has been in chaos since her third year of junior high school." Ye Yuhua said implicitly.
Messy
What's the mess? Feeling confused. It's not that there's any sudden change, it's just that I can't sit still and worry about what's going on at the foot of the mountain.
Hearing what Ye Yuhua said, Xiao Zheng felt much less stressed. He raised his eyes and asked, "What about you? After we leave, will you continue to practice on the mountain or walk down the mountain?"
"I have not finished my studies, so I will naturally stay." Ye Yuhua said with a smile.
Xiao Zheng nodded: "Then when you come down from the mountain, be sure to come to Mingzhu and I'll treat you to something delicious."
Ye Yuhua nodded with a smile: "Definitely."
The two chatted for a few more words, and then Ye Yuhua asked Xiao Zheng to go back to the side room to pack his luggage.
When Lin Huayin saw Xiao Zheng packing his parcel and reading a book in bed, she couldn't help but raise her eyes and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Go down the mountain." Xiao Zhengyan said concisely.
Lin Huayin's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't ask why. This is her. If she can express it through actions, she will definitely not say a word more. Just like at this moment, although she didn't know why Xiao Zheng decided to go down the mountain tomorrow morning. But now that he has decided, he has fulfilled his own wish. Naturally, I won’t ask any more questions.
After packing all the daily necessities, Xiao Zheng sat by the bed and lit a cigarette, and suddenly said proudly: "By the way, my mother-in-law just praised me."
"Yeah." Lin Huayin was still reading with a calm expression.
"You don't want to know what to praise me for?" Xiao Zheng asked with a straight face. "You disrespect me so much."
"Why are you complimenting me?" Lin Huayin raised his eyes and asked. It's like trying to catch a duck.
"Praise me for being the best in the future." Xiao Zheng said proudly. "Do you know what it means to be the leader?"
Lin Huayin put down the book and explained calmly: "In ancient times, the princes made a covenant to cut off the cow's ears to soak the blood. The representative of the main ally would hold the plate containing the cow's ears. Therefore, the main ally was called the ox'er. Later, it generally refers to industry oligarchs and hegemons of one party. .”
Xiao Zheng raised his chin proudly and said proudly: "You know how powerful I am, right?"
Lin Huayin looked at him expressionlessly, for a long time, and said calmly: "Don't hold on to the pig's ears."
"—"
