Chapter 49: Zen Master Huitong II
Tens of minutes later, Zen Master Huitong’s bald head was covered with thumb-sized bumps, which looked very funny! The two novice monks couldn’t help but purse their lips and snicker.
"Why are you laughing? Haven't you seen that my master sacrificed his life to save you two and ended up like this?" the old monk reprimanded angrily.
The two young monks shrank their necks and stepped aside. Long Wu walked up to the old monk and said with a smile: "Old Zen Master, I think it's better to ask the disciples to take you back to the temple?"
"No need, God is going to give this man a great responsibility, and he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, and deplete his body..." The old monk began to chatter endlessly again.
Long Wu felt that his head was swelling several times in an instant, and stars were popping up in front of his eyes!
After finally getting through an afternoon of preaching, Long Wu was thinking about what method to use to deal with the old monk in the evening. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and the spirit beast ring on his wrist flashed, and five magic rats appeared.
Appearing in front of Long Wu, he gave these five little guys a mission, and saw the five magic rats disappear in a few jumps.
Not long after, the five demon rats appeared in front of Long Wu again, carrying Zen Master Huitong and two young novice monks carrying food ration bags. He gave each of these little guys a pill of Qi Condensation Powder, and the corners of Long Wu's mouth showed.
A sly smile.
Early the next morning, Longwu heard Zen Master Huitong and the two young monks discussing the issue of the missing ration bag. He remained silent, lying on the branch of a tree and snickering alone.
I listened to Zen Master Huitong teach two little monks who were complaining: "We are real practitioners, disciples who truly pursue "Buddha". The rules for walking and practicing are: don't look left and right when passing through the busy city, only accept food for alms, and don't
We only need to receive property and food left by the owner, live in a bridge hole, or pitch a simple tent, etc. We only need a place that can shelter from the wind and rain, not stay in other people's homes, and have two meals a day."
"There is a fixed time for eating. If the food has not melted after the time, don't eat. Don't slander or curse those who don't give alms, and be grateful! Meditate before and after meals, practice self-cultivation, and educate others..."
Long Wu felt dizzy while sitting on the branch of a tree. He stumbled and almost fell off the tree. Finally, after the old monk completed his teachings, the four of them continued on their way.
At three o'clock in the morning, the old monk was so hungry that he finally stopped teaching people. Long Wu and the two young novices were extremely happy. It was almost noon, and Long Wu didn't feel hungry at all. The old monk and the two young novices were so hungry.
It's dizziness.
For Long Wu, food must be eaten, but it is not three meals a day. For him, sometimes in retreat, just taking some elixirs can maintain body functions. Walking like this, Long Wu is not eating
Some wild fruits, that is, secretly hunting some game at night for a full meal.
But Zen Master Huitong and his two disciples were not so lucky. A young novice monk finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Master, let's go and prepare some vegetarian food."
Zen Master Huitong smiled bitterly and said: "As a teacher, I am also hungry and thirsty. Zhiqing, you might as well go and prepare some vegetarian food."
The young novice named Zhiqing heard this, said yes, and hurriedly ran down the official road.
Seeing that Zen Master Huitong was so stubborn, Longwu was also exhausted mentally and physically by his preaching. But the master's fate was difficult! He had no choice but to use convenience as an excuse to catch up with Zhiqing who went to beg for alms.
Long Wu made a secret in his hand, and a light golden beam shot into Zhiqing's back, and then he returned to Zen Master Huitong who was resting.
An hour later, Zhiqing came back angrily, sat down under the shade of a tree on the side of the road, and said angrily: "Master, tell me, I went to beg for alms, and they didn't give me anything. These villagers still don't give me anything." He called me a wild monk and looked like a thief. He was not a monk at all. I was so angry."
When the old monk heard this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and said: "Monks are everywhere, so they will inevitably encounter some troubles. It depends on how we face them..."
When Long Wu heard that the old monk started again, Long Wu almost cried. He gave Zhi Qing a simple prohibition, that is, when others saw Zhi Qing, they would have the illusion that this little novice monk had a sharp mouth, monkey cheeks, and two swollen eyes. The inch-long ears and the bald head are covered with white rings that are disgusting! If Zhiqing can still turn into a vegetarian, that would be a living hell.
For three days, no matter whether it was Zhiqing or another young novice, whoever went to beg for alms had the same excuse. Not only did the other party refuse to give him food, but he also made bad remarks and even chased the two people with sticks.
Zen Master Huitong has superb martial arts and is considered a top figure even in the world of martial arts, but he is a mortal after all, and he does not have the ability of Long Wu to survive without eating for a year and a half.
Now Zen Master Huitong is really depressed. He has been traveling around for many years. It is normal to encounter this kind of thing once or twice, but it cannot be like this for three days in a row! On the fourth day, the hungry old monk finally fell asleep. Unable to hold back his anger, he said to Long Wu and the two young novice monks: "Today you are going to beg for alms as my master."
Along the way, there was no sermon from the old monk. Long Wu hummed a song and prayed to the Buddha, looking content and content.
Zen Master Huitong finally spoke, "Fellow Taoist Xuanyi! We have walked ten miles, why can't you change a song and hum it! Keep singing to pray to the Buddha, look at me, I am crying!"
Looking at the old monk's red eyes, Long Wu smiled and stopped singing.
Not long after, the four of them came to a village. Zen Master Huitong tidied his monk's robes and came to the door of a house and said: "Donor, the poor monk is a monk who travels all over the world. Please lend me a meal here... Huh?" Donor? Donor, please open the door. Donor? Damn it!… Haha, Amitabha, that’s so good, so good. Master, I’m a little out of sorts.” The old monk finally got so angry that he cursed.
After knocking on several houses, Zen Master Huitong’s eyes turned blue with hunger and his mouth was dry! The result was that no one opened the door. The helpless old monk could only lead his two disciples to continue. Walking to a village.
Long Wu followed the three masters and apprentices, thinking to himself: It seems that this spell is really effective!
It was almost dusk, and a small village finally appeared in the eyes of Zen Master Huitong and the three of them. At this time, the old monk's eyes were shining, as if he had seen a rare treasure. His skills were vigorous and his steps were flying. After a while, he entered village.
Zhiqing went to call the door first, but when he saw that no one answered, the knocking on the door became a little louder. "Zhiqing! Don't be rude! Oh, old man, the poor monk is a monk who travels all over the world. He passed by here today. I wonder if the elderly can open the door to convenience?"
As soon as Huitong finished speaking, someone in the house said, "Where is this wild monk? Get out of here!" Seeing that the knock on the door was still there, the owner of the house finally couldn't help it and opened the door with a creak.
Finally seeing an old man opening the door, Huitong said hurriedly: "Old man, please stop insulting me. The poor monk apologizes for my disciple...Old man, please don't hit the poor monk with your cane...Old man, please calm down...Old...Old guy, please don't do anything again."
Shall I give it a try?... Oh my, fuck? Zhiqing! Cut him! He’s so kind!"
When the old man saw the blue light in Zhiqing's eyes due to hunger, he couldn't help but become frightened, and then shouted, "Help! The wild monk is robbing and killing people! Someone, hurry up!"
Not long after, all the young men in the village rushed out with spades and pickaxes in their hands! Zen Master Huitong led Long Wu and the other three people who were being chased and fled!
Seeing Zhiqing's feet weakened and falling to the ground, Zen Master Huitong hurriedly helped Zhiqing up and said: "Zhiqing, are you okay? Wake up! Xuanyi, Zhishan, don't run away! Come back and save me, Master."
!Ah...stop fighting, stop fighting!...The poor monk really came here to ask for alms...This is the poor monk's certificate of salvation! That's right! That one is the certificate of salvation, and those are my disciples! We really didn't come here
Robbery...ah!"
Zen Master Huitong and Zhiqing, looking like giant pandas, supported each other, limped to Long Wu and Zhishan and said: "Fellow Taoist Xuanyi, I know that you have extraordinary powers, can you go and help me?"
Find some water?"
Hearing this, Long Wu saluted and said, "Old Zen Master, wait a moment, I'll go and come back." After saying this, Long Wu's figure flashed and disappeared into the woods.
Watching Long Wu walk away, Zen Master Huitong said to Zhishan: "Zhishan, please come here. Remember! The house at the east end of the village we just ran through, right, is a village woman with a family.
The children's house, as soon as I passed there, I could smell the fragrance of my teacher. They were cooking eight-treasure porridge, and it was very fragrant! Go, it's just a mother and son anyway, if you don't give it, you'll take it! Go and come back quickly!"
Zhi Shan was shocked when he heard this! "Master, is this okay?"
"You are such a pig-brained person. We are all starving to death. Who will save all sentient beings?"
Not long after, the village was bustling with people again. Half an hour later, Zhishan ran back covered in sweat and said: "The people in the village have been on guard for a long time. I was discovered as soon as I entered the village, and I almost missed the master."
Your footsteps!"
Speechless! Zen Master Huitong was really speechless. Fortunately, an hour later, Long Wu came to Huitong and the others with a pot of water and a few raw sweet potatoes.
When he saw the food, Zen Master Huitong didn't have time to express his thanks. He grabbed the sweet potato and chewed it in big mouths. After eating, Zen Master Huitong said with emotion: "My existence has been fully demonstrated. Not eating when hungry, and vegetarianism are the only way to lose weight."
Not fat!"
Longwu, Zhiqing, and Zhishan fell to the ground after hearing this. That night, the four of them rested in the woods not far from the village.
Before dawn the next day, the voice of Zen Master Huitong came to Long Wu's ears: "Zhi Qing, Zhi Shan, come before me. Alas... I am definitely not blaming my teacher, but you have forgotten my teachings."
?You and I, masters and disciples, are all members of the Buddhist sect, and we have many taboos. Do not steal, do not lie, do not speak harshly, do not be greedy, do not hate, and do not have ignorance. You should always keep this in mind! If you are dedicated to the Buddha, if you do not practice self-cultivation
, how can you achieve Zhengguo? Okay, I’m here to ask you, master, who the hell is it! Last night, when master was sleeping, you secretly stole the raw sweet potatoes that I kept privately?”
Seeing the three masters and disciples arguing over a raw sweet potato, Long Wu hurriedly jumped down from the tree and said: "Old Zen Master, according to what the disciple has seen, Zen Master, you have stopped here for this time. Why don't you let the disciple send you home?"
Go back to the temple to cultivate for a period of time, and then come back to the world to help sentient beings after your body recovers. What do you think?"
After listening to Long Wu's words, Zen Master Huitong was silent for a long time. When this trip came to an end, something like this happened. Obviously it would be very inconvenient if he continued to move forward. The old monk sighed and said: "It doesn't matter, this
Let’s go back to the temple first!”
As soon as he heard that the old monk agreed to fly back to Biyun Temple, Long Wu felt ecstatic in his heart. He immediately released the flying magical weapon Yun Luo Zhang, and then carried Zen Master Huitong into the Yun Luo Zhang. He said to Zhiqing and Zhishan: "Two junior brothers, here
There are some scattered coins. You two go and buy some vegetarian food. I can’t seat four people in the Yunluo Tent. How about you two go back to Biyun Temple on your own?"
