Chapter 465 Tang Monk: Mineral water can also release animals? [Requesting monthly tickets]
Before Tang Monk appeared, Li Yusheng was afraid that he would be a pedantic monk who was obsessed with enlightenment, did not distinguish between men and monsters, refused to change despite repeated teachings, and was full of Buddhist teachings.
But judging from his attitude in greeting, this guy is also quite tactful.
Think about it, how could it be possible that Li Shimin was appointed as the person in charge of the Land and Water Conference?
It all seems to be the blame of the TV series, which portrays Tang Seng as a pedantic image.
In fact, Tang Monk in the novel is more flesh and blood. He will complain about Guanyin Tathagata when he is tired, curse when he is angry, and he also knows how to win over his disciples in different ways, and occasionally he will play clever tricks.
When faced with danger, he gets scared faster than anyone else, but when there is no danger, he is brave enough to recite poems to goblins and talk and laugh happily.
In short, he is an ordinary person who is dedicated to Buddha, and has the joys and sorrows of normal people.
On this basis, he rejected the temptations of fame, wealth, beauty, etc., and went to Daleiyin Temple with determination, and finally obtained the true scripture, and his merits were complete.
When a new administrator comes over, normally they should have a meal, talk about the B&B, and call the other administrators over to let everyone get to know each other.
But when it comes to eating... When Li Yugang was thinking about making a vegetarian meal, Tang Seng took out a pancake from his arms:
"Senior brother said that everyone's eating habits cannot be changed because of my arrival. From now on, little monk Just eat the pancakes, that’s how we’ve been here all these years.”
This made Li Yu feel a little embarrassed:
“This is not the way to treat guests.”
Tang Monk said politely:
"It's wrong to influence everyone just because of me. The Buddha said to sacrifice the individual to fulfill the greater self. What's more, the young monk has been eating pancakes and reciting scriptures since he was a child. It's not a sacrifice at all."
Damn, this enlightenment. , I even want to introduce you to the Bolsheviks.
Mu Guiying waved her hand like a hostess:
“Don’t eat this cake, leave it for little Taizong later... Xiao Feifei went and cut a watermelon for your nephew. , I’ll get some sweet cookies stuffed with jujube paste for Xiao Sanzang to try.”
Humph, since Xiao Taizong is Tang Monk’s sworn brother, let’s try Yudi’s dry food!
There were still tourists at the B&B at this time, so Li Yu led Tang Seng to the study.
Soon, Yue Fei brought some cut watermelons and washed a basket of fruits, while Mu Guiying brought snacks of various flavors, all of which were vegetarian and could be eaten with confidence.
But Tang Seng only tasted it briefly, and there was no scene of feasting like other administrators.
Mu Guiying took a bite of a shortbread stuffed with lotus paste:
"Isn’t it delicious? I think it’s so delicious. I couldn’t stop watching videos after eating. I can eat two kilograms...Why don’t you eat it, Xiao Sanzang?”
Tang Monk bowed:
"This is the most delicious food that the young monk has eaten when he has grown up. But once the appetite is opened, it is like a thousand-mile dike bursting, so the young monk must restrain his desire and ask the Holy Son Don’t blame His Highness and the Holy Princess.”
Good guy, you can gain so much experience just by eating a snack.
Li Yu said:
“When I have the opportunity, I will take you to try high-end vegetarian meals that cost thousands per person. You will definitely like it.”
Tang Monk asked with great interest:
"Is there anyone still doing vegetarian food business in the real world?"
"Yes, like Gongde Lindu, which has a history of more than a hundred years."
Li Yu turned on his mobile phone and showed some imitation meat dishes and dishes from high-end vegetarian restaurants. Tang Monk shook his head repeatedly when he saw it:
"Buddhism advocates abstaining from five kinds of meat and avoid fishy food. Essentially, it is because of these Food will stimulate the taste buds and amplify the appetite, but desires are endless, so we must fundamentally restrain them... This kind of vegetarian meal, although it does not use meat and fish, pursues delicious food, puts the cart before the horse, and completely deviates from the Buddhist scriptures. "< br>
Li Yu:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Good guy, so this is how Buddhism understands the prohibition against meat and fish?
He is worthy of being an eminent monk who has practiced Zen for ten generations, and his research on Buddhism is indeed thorough.
Yue Fei looked at Tang Monk and asked:
"How does Tripitaka view the release of animals?"
"Buddhism rejects killing and advocates releasing animals to gain merit. However, if the released animals cause greater evil, we should rein in the situation instead of going our own way."
Hearing this, Li Yu said with a smile:< br>
“I really should sign you up for a Buddhist spiritual class and teach those people who can’t even understand Buddhist scriptures a lesson.”
Mu Guiying finished eating the lotus paste cake. , and picked up a piece of bean paste cake:
“The spiritual practice class has to go a little later, I think we should let Xiao Sanzang teach the people of the Life Release Association, let those who release mineral water, release sour yoghurt Those who release nutriment express, release air, release scavengers, and release crocodiles and eels should learn from it and stop embarrassing themselves here.”
Tang Seng felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge about the real world and could chat with everyone, but after listening to Mu Guiying's words, he suddenly felt confused about who I was and where I was.
What is the operation of releasing mineral water?
Sour yogurt sounds like some kind of drink, can it be released?
Seeing that his nephew obviously couldn't keep up with the rhythm of chatting, Yue Fei turned on his mobile phone, pulled out some short videos of confusing people and played them, which made Tang Monk's eyes go straight:
"Little Monk... The young monk became more and more confused about the real world.”
I thought that with Brother Ksitigarbha making up for the lessons, and since there was Buddhism in the real world, Tang Seng felt that he could control it easily. Unexpectedly, he was stunned by a release of mineral water.
Regarding these confusing behaviors, Li Yu said with emotion:
“Stop talking about you, even I can’t understand this world.”
“You can tell me If you don’t understand this world, His Royal Highness is already far ahead of many people.”
Listening to Tang Seng’s praise, Li Yu changed the subject with some embarrassment:
"What stage is the plot of Journey to the West at now? Have you arrived at Hongfu Temple in Chang'an?"
"Your Majesty the Holy Son, the young monk reunited with his parents half a month ago. After his mother passed away, his father entered the court as a bachelor. With His Majesty's permission, the young monk temporarily stayed in Hongfu Temple to recite scriptures. "
Different versions of "Journey to the West" handle this plot differently.
The hundred chapters Li Yu read originally stated that Tang Monk stayed at Hongfu Temple in Chang'an, which was also the reason why he was able to preside over the Water and Land Conference later. Some versions wrote that he returned to Jinshan Temple in Jiangzhou.
With this distance, less than half a year has passed, and there is no time for subsequent plots such as the Land and Water Conference, the Bodhisattva's Enlightenment, and the westward departure from Chang'an.
As for the death of Tang Seng's mother Yin Wenjiao, she actually committed suicide. This is a characteristic of Ming and Qing novels - observance of women's ethics.
In the original work, Yin Wenjiao had no choice but to succumb to the bandit Liu Hong in order to save Chen Guangrui's flesh and blood.
Eighteen years later, Xuanzang rushed to Canggan alone with his mother's letters, and found his grandfather Yin Kaishan, who was then prime minister, to recognize him. Yin Kaishan personally led an army of 60,000 to avenge his daughter and son-in-law. It happened that the Dragon King sent the resurrected Chen Guangrui. After the family was reunited, Yin Wenjiao could not forgive herself for committing herself to the bandits, so she said goodbye to her husband and son and committed suicide calmly.
This kind of treatment is in line with the ethical requirements of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but this kind of thing would not happen in the real Tang Dynasty. Women's remarriage was very popular in the Tang Dynasty, and there was no such thing as three obediences and four virtues.
Tang Seng said to Li Yu:
"According to senior brother's guess, the Dragon King of Jinghe will find trouble with Yuan Shoucheng in the next few days, and then make a bet, and then violate the will of heaven and be executed by Wei Zheng... May I ask His Highness the Holy Son, does the young monk need to intervene?"< br>
Aren’t you afraid that you won’t learn from the experience after the intervention... Li Yu said:
“No need, the Jinghe Dragon King is addicted to food. He didn’t admit his loss when he lost the bet, but went to see him instead. Li Shimin's trouble... We can't let good people be pointed at guns. You should read the scriptures and ignore this matter."
From the plot of the story, it is simply that the Dragon King of Jinghe is looking for trouble. It was enough to admit defeat afterwards, but he didn't want to die, so he ran to Li Shimin to plead for mercy.
Li Shimin agreed because he agreed, but helping you is a matter of affection and not helping you is a duty. After being beheaded, the Dragon King of Jinghe always believed that Li Shimin did not help, which led to his own death.
In the whole story, the only person who tried to help was Li Shimin, but a human emperor who was not Ah Ma, how could he know that he could kill people in his dreams?
As a result, the Jinghe Dragon King did not dare to cause trouble with Wei Zheng, Yuan Shoucheng, let alone Heavenly Court. Instead, he pestered Li Shimin day and night.
The person who helped you became a victim. It would be a shame for such a Dragon King to die.
So now even if he had to do it all over again, Li Yu was not going to interfere and was ready to let things develop according to the normal process. He took a piece of jujube paste cake and took a bite:
"Xuan Zang, can you now Go into the palace to meet the emperor?”
"Grandpa, the young monk, is the prime minister of the dynasty. It is okay to enter the palace to pray for His Majesty. Does His Highness the Son have something to convey?"
As soon as Tang Monk finished speaking, the young Taizong Li Shimin appeared at the door of the study:< br>
"Hello, sir, hello, Third Master... Ha, Brother Fei, you are finally here. I just finished the bridge-building game. The last few levels were simply terrifying. I thought about it for a long time before I came up with a way to build it... "
The little guy was saying proudly, and Tang Monk saluted him:
"Little Monk Xuanzang, pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin: "..."
Why didn't anyone tell me that my younger brother was here? Is my image of being a wise and powerful person ruined like this?
He quickly calmed down his expression and stuffed his cell phone into the pocket of his overalls. Then he looked Tang Seng up and down like a grown-up:
"When did you come?"
“The young monk has just reached the time to burn incense.”
Li Shimin clasped his hands behind his back and tried to pretend to be an adult:
"Don't be so restrained. When you get to your husband's place, relax a little... We are sworn sworn brothers in the book, right? Although I am young now, since we are brothers, you You have to call me brother, is that okay?”
Tang Monk quickly bowed:
“Xuan Zang pays homage to brother!”
“Haha, easy to say, no. Sorry, Brother Fei, I suddenly have a brother. I have to think carefully about what a brother needs to pay attention to.”
Yue Fei expressionlessly picked up a banana and handed it to Tang Seng: "Here, take it and eat it."
"Thank you, uncle, for the reward!"
Li Shimin: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
What?
The brother I just recognized calls Brother Fei his uncle?
Didn’t my seniority decrease?
Damn it, I would have known that I had just told Sanzang that there is a difference between king and minister. Although they are brothers in name, there should be no lack of etiquette between king and minister!
What a miscalculation!
Li Yuchong asked Li Shimin:
"Aren't you going to send a message to yourself in Journey to the West? Are you ready?"
As soon as Li Shimin heard this, he took out a USB flash drive from his pocket:
"Ready, It’s all in this plate... Brother Yu, can you play computer?”
“The little monk hasn’t learned yet”
“I’ll teach you, take it over there and let me. I'll take a good look over there, it's all my heartfelt words... By the way, I'll teach you how to use the phone. If he has anything to say later, you can help record it."
That Li Shimin is definitely not as smart as me, so don’t force him to type.
Tang Monk said:
"Young monk obeys the order!"
Li Shimin pinched the black sesame shortbread on the table and took a bite:
"Come here Just stay casual at the B&B, no need to be so polite, Mr. hates red tape. ”
"Yes!"
Since Li Shimin was going to teach Tang Monk how to use a computer, Li Yu didn't bother him. He planned to go to the kitchen to cook some dinner and asked about Yue Fei's Zhending Mansion. When Mu Guiying heard about the cooking, he also Went along.
Without the elders, Li Shimin became more casual. The little guy took off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the computer chair, and said to Tang Seng who was eating a banana:
"Why are you so low-ranking?" Huh? Originally, Brother Fei and I were equal, but you immediately made me two generations shorter."
Tang Seng smiled bitterly:
"I am Uncle Buddha, and his status in Lingshan is transcendent. If you want to blame me, I must blame my master for not living up to expectations. He wants to cultivate into a Hunyuan Wuji saint early, and Uncle Buddha's status will definitely drop a lot, but no matter what..."
Xiao Shimin finished eating the shortbread and waved his hand generously:
"Forget it, let's discuss our own affairs from now on. You and I will continue to treat each other as brothers. If you don't understand anything, just ask me. , after all, we are sworn brothers, so we should take care of each other."
"Thank you for taking care of me, brother."
"You're welcome, I'm the older brother, so I should take care of my younger brother."
< br>
Li Shimin patted the cake crumbs on his hands and began to teach Tang Monk how to use computers. By the way, he also talked about the difference between laptop computers and desktop computers.
In the kitchen, Li Yu cooked porridge in a casserole and fried some vegetables.
In order to take care of Tang Monk's taste, all dishes were made into vegetarian dishes, and all the kitchen utensils were specially cleaned.
If Tang Monk was too pedantic, Li Yu would not mind using the three-layered fat pork to make a few "vegetarian dishes" to educate the young monk, but now that he is so sensible, there is no need to tease him anymore .
When you come to a B&B, you are a family. There is no need to be dissatisfied and excluded because of some of your family’s habits.
At dinner, Tang Seng looked at the specially prepared side dishes on the table, saluted Li Yu, washed his hands, and took the initiative to serve everyone porridge.
Today’s dishes are relatively simple. Not only are they vegetarian, but there are no onions, ginger, garlic, or chilies. But when you eat them like this, you can taste the freshness of the ingredients themselves.
Especially loofah, after stir-frying over high heat, the umami flavor is so rich.
Tang Monk ate a small bowl of porridge and praised Li Yu's craftsmanship repeatedly.
This guy is handsome and his emotional intelligence is high enough. No matter what he talks about, he can bring everyone's emotional value to the fullest. No wonder the daughter King is reluctant to let him go. He is indeed capable.
After the meal, Li Shimin took Tang Seng to continue learning computer knowledge. Li Yu asked Yue Fei:
"When are you going to get married?"
"We will hold a collective wedding together after the Spring Festival."
This time the wedding in Qilin Village was quite big. Four newlyweds, Shan Xiong, Xin Hu Sanniang, Zhou Tong Xianglan, Zhang Fei, Zhao Fujin, and Yue Fei Li Wa, came together to get married, making everyone lively and lively.
Li Yu said:
"At that time, we will also open two tables here to celebrate together."
Yue Fei cupped his hands and thanked:
"Thank you sir!"
The little guy was still on his way and didn't stop for too long. After chatting with Li Yu for a while, he took the big white horse, which was full of food and drink and was competing with the Hunhong Beast, to leave the real world and continue on the road.
Seeing that Mu Guiying was hesitant to speak, Li Yu asked with a smile:
"Do you have anything to say?"
"It feels like things are passing so fast, Xiao Feifei is about to get married."
"How about we also have a wedding?"
"Sister Zhou will beat me to death...will you accompany me to the night market later? I didn't eat meat today, and I always feel empty in my stomach."
Yunxiao didn't. Cook less meat and vegetables, at best she won’t have dinner... Li Yu felt that this girl’s mouth had become naughty. When she first came here, the big white steamed buns felt fragrant and sweet, unlike now, where she leaves every meal. No meat.
The two of them tidied up the kitchen, and Li Yu brought some fruits to the study:
"We will go to the city to visit the night market. If Xuanzang is tired of studying, let Shimin find a movie to watch."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty the Holy Son. I'm not tired, little monk."
Li Shimin has always been a younger brother in the B&B, but now he suddenly became an older brother, and he is full of energy.
Li Yu didn’t bother much and drove Mu Guiying straight to the city.
When she came to the pedestrian street, the girl first bought a piece of raw fried chicken, and then bought a cup of sweet and cold fruit tea. While eating, she was looking for what she wanted to taste next.
The two of them wandered around until after nine o'clock. They were too lazy to go back to the B&B. They simply went to Guanlan Mingshu Community and lay in the bathtub together to take a mandarin duck bath. Mu Guiying became very enlightened and tried to experience it. After a while of Guanyin sitting in the lotus position, Li Yu's waist almost broke.
As for the B&B, Yu Wen met Tang Seng after get off work in Chengdu and exchanged a few words with each other. Xiao Shimin said arrogantly:
"Big man, he is my imperial younger brother. Don't you think about it anymore?" Bully him, or I..."
Before he finished speaking, Yuwen Chengdu lifted him up and threw him around in the air:
"What did you say? The wind was so strong just now that I didn't hear you."
Xiao Shimin was speechless:
"Can't you give me some face?"
" Okay, Your Majesty Tian Khan, you are so arrogant, aren’t you afraid that Sun Wukong will slap you?”
“No, my grandma is Nuwa!”
Hum hum, Yu Di can’t deal with Sun Houhou, and neither can my grandma if you don’t believe me!
Tang Seng studied in the middle of the night and went back with a brand new laptop, USB flash drive and other items.
Arrived at Hongfu Temple in Chang'an City, Tang Monk found that it was actually morning here, so he planned to go to the palace to report and make an appointment to pray for His Majesty.
Out of the temple, Tang Monk soon came to Chang'an Street.
While walking, he saw many people gathered in front of a Taoist priest's stall, many of whom were discussing how accurate the immortal's calculations were.
Tang Seng knew in his heart that this Taoist priest who was accurate was none other than Yuan Shoucheng, who had recently become famous in Chang'an.
Yuan Shoucheng had many rules for fortune telling, but because of his accuracy, many people came here specifically to find him.
When Tang Monk passed by the stall, he happened to face a white-clothed scholar who was walking like a dragon and a tiger. This man came to Yuan Shoucheng's stall and asked in a trouble-making tone:
"I heard that you are very accurate in fortune telling? Can you calculate when will it rain recently?"
Seeing this, Tang Monk sighed softly:
"The gears of fate have begun to turn!"
——————————
What an unforgettable birthday. I caught a cold and had a severe headache. I originally planned to go to the hospital for treatment. I did not delay the code writing, but the result was that the outpatient department did not give me the injection, and I had to go to the hospital if I wanted to get the injection. I took cold medicine at home and slept until the evening, and finally got better... After taking the two Yang shots, my physical condition has really improved to the naked eye. It can be seen that it has gotten worse. On a day of over 30 degrees, I still have to wear long sleeves, otherwise I will feel cold. Sorry, brothers, there will be another update in the next two days.
