"Little monk, it's not easy to be a monk. Why don't you return to secular life? I'll introduce you to someone! She's so beautiful..."
When Fang Zheng over there heard this, he was completely depressed!
Is he going to commit suicide? Nonsence! Life is so beautiful, even though he was hacked by the system, Fang Zheng always believed that he would one day return to secular life, and the future was bright. Even now, you can't say that he is unhappy!
In such a beautiful world, why would he commit suicide? Also, who committed suicide by jumping into a river and still holding a reed? Although there is only one...
That's right, Fang Zheng wants to imitate Bodhidharma back then and cross the river with a reed! In fact, with the ability of Pudu shoes, Fang Zheng can walk across the river as if he were walking on flat ground. He is so cool and unrestrained that he will definitely shock the whole audience. Cool and crazy!
However, Fang Zheng knew very well that Patriarch Bodhidharma could only cross the river with a reed. If he walked on foot, wouldn't it mean that he was more powerful than Patriarch Bodhidharma? Patriarch Bodhidharma may not mind, but these believers and monks are not happy. After all, Patriarch Bodhidharma is everyone’s spiritual sustenance. If someone surpasses him, the sense of loss will be too great.
The most important thing is that this is also a kind of respect that Fang Zheng has for Patriarch Bodhidharma.
Another point is that Patriarch Bodhidharma crossed the river with a reed. Although it has more mythological elements, it does exist after all and is not too elusive. If Fang Zheng learns it, he can also make excuses. If you were to walk there, it would be a lot of trouble, and I couldn’t even explain it...
Therefore, when Fang Zheng did this, he did so carefully.
Seeing those kind-hearted and enthusiastic people shouting in confusion, especially the one who asked him to return to the secular world and introduce the person to him, Fang Zheng really wanted to go over and add a WeChat friend, and then go to him after returning to the secular world...
However, this matter is difficult to handle in public, so I can only endure the pain.
Anyway, he waved to everyone, then clasped his hands and said loudly: "Donors have misunderstood. The poor monk does not want to commit suicide. The world is like mud, and all living beings are trapped in it. The poor monk has to help people out of the mud, so how can he commit suicide?"
"Uh, then... little monk, what are you going to do?" Everyone was confused and shouted.
Fang Zheng pointed forward and said: "The poor monk is Fang Zheng, the abbot of Yizhi Temple on Yizhi Mountain. He received an invitation from Zen Master Baiyun of Baiyun Temple to attend the Spring Festival Prayer Ceremony. However, he encountered some hardships and was unable to cross the river. Poor Monk There is no other choice but to follow the example of Patriarch Bodhidharma and cross the river with a reed."
"Pfft!" Someone squirted out a mouthful of water.
"Crossing the river with a reed? Haha... This little monk is so funny. I am so embarrassed to look up to the sky with such awesome bragging."
"The world is really big, and there are all kinds of birds."
"Look at him, he's fair and clean, he's pretty good-looking, but it's a pity that he's a lunatic..."
The boss of the boat also sneered and said: "Is this a joke invited by the monkey? Just a reed to cross the river... I will give you a pile of reeds, and you can also cross... Oh my god... "
Before the boat boss finished speaking, Fang Zheng had already thrown the reed in his hand into the water, then jumped up and stepped on it!
At that moment, everyone, whether they believed that Fang Zheng could succeed or not, looked at Fang Zheng with wide eyes, maybe because they wanted to see a joke, maybe because they wanted to see a miracle, but no one turned their eyes. As a result, I really can’t move it!
Fang Zheng stepped on the reed. No matter how many times others cried out in their hearts to sink, Fang Zheng still stood firmly on the river, with the reed under his feet! Then he waved his big hand, slapped the palm wind, and with a bang, the whole person rushed forward! A white water mark was drawn on the water!
"Oh my God! What a miracle!"
"The dog seller! I'm so confused!"
"Magic? Isn't this amazing? Who is the monk?"
The ship's boss, Brother Hei, froze on the spot, rubbing his eyes constantly, and muttered: "My eyes must be dazzled. How is this possible?"
On the surface of the river, the waves were rugged and the wind was blowing, bringing with it a few flakes of snow blowing from afar. The winter sun seems a bit cold, but the light shining on the water is so dazzling.
And on the water, a monk in white, with a bright smile, waved his hands from time to time, floating across the water! The white monk's robes danced with the wind, floating like a fairy, as if the real Buddha was alive!
This scene was seen by Mr. Du and the monks on Wangxiang Cliff. At that moment, everyone froze on the spot with a look of confusion on their faces.
I don’t know who shouted first: “One reed crosses the river! It really means one reed crosses the river!”
"If this is not magic, if this is real, then it is really a miracle! Back then, when Patriarch Bodhidharma came to the west and crossed the river with a reed, the world regarded it as a legend. Now, someone actually crossed the river with a reed, Amitabha! From now on, we can stop the mouths of many people in the world." Zen Master Hongyan sighed.
Zen Master Baiyun asked, "Who is this person? He has such magical powers?"
As a result, everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. Only then did everyone realize that no one knew the man who was crossing the river! It was quite embarrassing for a while...
At this moment, someone said, "Could it be a monk from outside? I have never seen this monk locally."
"It's possible, maybe he's a disciple of some big temple."
"Maybe it's an eminent monk..."
"Crossing the river with a reed is a matter of ability, but ability does not represent his understanding of Buddhism. What the eminent monk values is Buddhism, not kung fu. I am afraid that he is still deficient in Buddhism at such a young age."
"Indeed, Buddhism is profound and mysterious. Even if he started practicing meditation from his mother's womb, it would only take twenty years. Twenty years is too short..."
When it comes to the back part, I feel a little sour no matter how I listen to it.
Zen Master Baiyun suddenly said: "Buddhism emphasizes understanding. Once you have achieved enlightenment, you are an eminent monk. Everyone, are you willing to go down with the poor monk to have a look? Let's welcome this master who is crossing the river."
After saying that, Zen Master Baiyun had already gone down the mountain. When everyone saw this, Zen Master Baiyun had already left, so what reason did they have not to go? So they followed him one after another.
There was only one person who didn't move, and that was Wu Ming!
Wu Ming stood on the edge of Wangxiang Cliff uncertainly, looking at Fang Zheng on the water below, his face changing. He was even more shocked and more terrified: "One reed crosses the river, one reed crosses the river... This... how is this possible? He is just a little monk. How can he be able to cross the river with a reed? It's over, it's over. When everyone confirms his identity, if you ask him why he crossed the river with a reed, Mr. Du will definitely not hide it. At that time. I...I..."
Wu Ming felt like his brain was going to explode. He tried countless ways, but nothing could help him survive this disaster. In the end, Wu Ming chose to retreat and stayed on the mountain, not going down anymore. No matter what happens in the future, he doesn't care, he accepts it, no matter what the future holds, he accepts it...
Wu Ming didn't move. Everyone was in a hurry to go down the mountain to see the mage coming across the river. Naturally, no one cared about his reaction.
