At this moment, there were several loud bangs, but the large truck crashed into a ball! Steel parts were flying around, glass was splashing, and messy sounds were all heard.

When Monkey saw this scene, he and Lu Xiaoya looked at each other, and they both saw the shock and fear in each other's eyes! What shocked me was not the car accident, but what Fang Zheng said at the beginning! At that time, the other party told them to keep a distance when they encountered four large trucks. Apparently, the other party had foreseen everything! Otherwise, I would never say this to them alone!

Thinking of the consequences if they don't listen to Fang Zheng...

Lu Xiaoya said cautiously: "Monkey, what would happen if you just continued to accelerate?"

The monkey swallowed and said: "Stop talking, if it weren't for the master, I would definitely speed up and overtake, and get rid of Fatty and the others. But, in that case, I would definitely be caught in the big car, and then... we two would be like meat pie." "

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoya also turned pale.

The monkey suddenly came to his senses at this time and shouted: "Get off the car quickly, don't stay in the car. Parking on the highway is also dangerous, go to the side outside the seat belt. Call the police quickly! I will put up warning signs. , to prevent the car behind from hitting you..."

Lu Xiaoya obeyed and went to call the police, and the monkey began to get busy.

At this moment, Fatty, Ruan Ying, and Jiang Ting were also dumbfounded. They saw four large trucks pulling coal. Thinking of the monkey's previous speed, they all looked at each other as if they had seen a ghost, and said in unison: "Master, this is amazing!"

The fat man gave himself a slap on the spot; "I'm so stupid, the master is so amazing, the temple must be more powerful! I should make a wish, at least burn a stick of incense and throw in some incense money, eh..."

"Sneeze!" Fang Zheng sneezed and muttered, "Who is talking about me?"

"Ding! Congratulations, you saved two more lives. Now, you have two chances to draw. Do you want to start drawing?"

"Pump! If you don't smoke, you won't smoke. If you keep it, you won't be able to have children." Fang Zheng said immediately.

"Ding! Congratulations on getting a moon-white monk's robe." The system said.

"Monk's robe? My dear Buddha, do you also think that my monk's robe is too worn out and you want to undress me?" Fang Zheng said with a smile. He couldn't go down the mountain, so changing clothes would definitely be a problem. Even if he had money, he couldn't buy other clothes, and there were only shabby clothes in the temple, clothes that had been mended for three years and three years. To be honest, he really didn't like them.

After all, we are young people and we also want to look beautiful.

However, compared to clothes, Fang Zheng hopes to obtain some awesome abilities, such as the clairvoyance and the magical ability to communicate with animals. This ability transcends the mortal world and appears more awesome. Therefore, I still feel a little disappointed.

As soon as he finished speaking, a monk's robe fell on his hand.

This is a white monk's robe. I don't know what material it is made of. It is neither thin nor thick, but it feels very tactile. It also exudes a light fragrance, which is not strong. If you don't even pay attention, you will ignore this smell. But if you experience it carefully, you will have a different feeling. It smells a bit like lamp oil, a bit like books, and a bit like sunshine. All in all, it's very comfortable.

However, Fangzheng was still very curious. He heard a monk say that monks' robes have colors and seams, so they are not meant to be worn casually! He has heard of brown, red, black-red, yellow, and gray monk robes, but he has never seen this white monk robe! And shouldn’t monks’ robes be made of solid colors

Fangzheng was puzzled and asked: "System, are you sure you got the right clothes? Look at this monk's robe. It's obviously wrong! As far as I know, there are three types of monk's robes. One is a small robe made of five strips of cloth. , commonly known as Wuyi, is worn when cleaning;

One is the middle coat made of seven strips of cloth, commonly known as Qiyi, which is worn daily;

One is a coat made of nine or even twenty-five strips of cloth, commonly known as ancestral clothes. It is a formal dress and is worn when going out or meeting elders.

The three clothes are collectively called cassock. Of course, the red one worn outside is also called cassock. But your monk's robe is weird. It's not a small robe, a qi robe, or an overcoat. It seems to be somewhere between the qi robe and the overcoat.

And the color is wrong too!

If I remember correctly, cassock should be the name of a color, because Buddhist monks must wear dyed clothes, avoiding the five main colors of green, yellow, red, white and black, and using a mixed color, that is, cassock color. The old translation of the cassock color in my country is red, while southern Buddhist scriptures say it is an orange-yellow color, possibly a mixture of red and yellow.

According to records, after Buddhism was divided into sects in India, the colors of the clothes of each sect became different. Some were red, some were yellow, and some were blue and black magnolia. However, our old man said that this is all nonsense. In the true sixth century period in India, the color of clothes of all tribes was actually red, and the so-called blue and black magnolias were only minor differences.

The robes of monks in Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, India, and Nepal are all yellow, with only different shades.

The cassocks of Chinese Han monks, the ancestral robe is red, and the five robes and seven robes are generally yellow.

The outer cassocks of Mongolian and Tibetan monks are yellow, and the middle robes they usually wear are almost red.

The climate in the north is cold and three robes are not enough for the monks, so the monks here wear another kind of ordinary clothes under the cassocks. This kind of ordinary clothes is slightly modified from the clothes of ancient lay people. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty had stipulated the color of the uniforms. The uniforms of Zen monks should be brown, those of preaching monks should be blue, and those of Vinaya monks should be black. After the Qing Dynasty, there were no official regulations, but in the Luzong Temple, since the revival of Lawyer Jianyue in the early Qing Dynasty, the uniforms of ordinary monks have been yellow.

Burmese Buddhists are particularly taboo on wearing black clothes because in ancient Myanmar there was a cult of monks who wore black clothes and did many illegal things, which was later strictly prohibited.

Mongolian and Tibetan believers also avoid wearing black clothes.

In addition, it is not good to give me any color, but you gave me a white one, which is still a solid color!

My old man once said that Buddhism has regulations on monks' robes. First, the color is not allowed to be colored or pure. Second, all new clothes must be dotted with another color at one point to destroy the neatness of the clothes and avoid being greedy for wearing them. This is called "bad color" or "dotted cleanness".

I searched through all the related things in my mind, but I didn’t see anyone using white to make monk’s robes! "

If Fang Zheng is not good at studying, he admits it. But he knows a lot about the cynical rules of some Buddhist parents. Because Yizhi Zen Master is a stickler for rules. Since childhood, Fang Zheng has been told all kinds of rules by Yizhi Zen Master. Even a pig can recite them by heart.

Although Fang Zheng was curious as to why Yizhi Zen Master, the abbot of a small temple, knew so much, Yizhi Zen Master always avoided talking about it. Fang Zheng gave up. Thinking about it now, the more he thought about it, the more puzzled he became. Not all this knowledge could be known by an old monk in a remote mountain village. Because Fang Zheng discovered that many small and medium-sized temples are not particularly particular about rules and are more indulgent.
