Chapter 533 Happy Engagement! [Requesting monthly tickets]
“Hey, why are there monks in the B&B?”
Zhang Ping was a little surprised when she saw Xuanzang in cassocks. These Hanfu enthusiasts are getting more and more wild now. Ah, it's not enough to wear a long robe or a bundt, but he even wore a monk's cassock.
Will there be a Yellow Turban Army uniform tomorrow that says "A year old, the world will be prosperous"?
Xuan Zang thought that Li Yu was about to get engaged. He guessed that these people should be relatives and friends, so he took the initiative to make a call:
"I have met all the donors. The young monk is a monk and is a good friend of donor Li. I heard that he was about to get engaged, so I came here to chant sutras and pray for blessings."
After hearing this, Zhang Ping became excited:
"Hey, it turned out to be a blessing for my son. Thank you so much for this mage... Are you a monk? Do you understand marriage? My son and my daughter-in-law are a perfect match, right?"
My son's social circle is really complicated. , and there was actually a monk. This brat even ate five or six sheep's hooves for lunch, and he didn't even talk about following the monks' example of eating vegetarian food and keeping in good health.
It seems to be the mother of His Royal Highness the Holy Son...Xuan Zang saluted again:
"Donor Li is blessed with great blessings, and Ms. Zhou is beyond words. When the two of them are combined, their careers will be further advanced and their lives will be happier."
All mothers like to hear other people praise their children. Now Xuanzang not only praised Li Yu, but also brought his daughter-in-law with him. Zhang Ping was very happy.
The surrounding relatives also wished Zhang Ping one after another, and kept saying that Xiaoyu was an unusual child since he was a child, and he will indeed be promising when he grows up.
Li Yu’s second aunt likes Buddhism and always talks about being vegetarian. Seeing that Xuanzang’s words were strange and pleasant, she quickly asked:
Master, I have been a bit greedy these past two days. After eating a lot of meat, the people in the group asked me to let him go to atone for my sins. Is that possible? ”
Xuanzang became excited when he heard this talk:
"Meat is nutritious, so eat it when you should. Almost all the troubles in a person's life are related to desires. Being vegetarian can reduce desires, and you can experience the happiness in life. ...If you become unhappy because of being a vegetarian, it goes against the concept of life advocated by Buddhism and should be abandoned...As for freeing animals, it is a big sin, so don't participate."
"True. "Why do you say that?"
This time, not only the second aunt was interested, but also all the relatives around her.
This monk looks young, and what he says is contrary to mainstream Buddhist thought, but for some reason, I always feel that what he says is correct.
Xuanzang said:
“From an ecological point of view, regardless of water bodies or mountains and forests, the ecology is developing normally. Releasing some creatures rashly and breaking the ecological cycle will inevitably cause the death of many creatures, which is equivalent to causing The person who killed someone must bear the consequences."
At this time, Zhou Ruotong's mother, Zhao Peimin, also came around and heard Xuanzang's words and asked:
"This is the first time. I heard the monk talk about ecology, what about from a Buddhist perspective? ”
“From a Buddhist perspective, every time you release an animal, it will reduce your own luck. The more times you release an animal, the greater the impact on your family and family. It has a great impact on career and health...Buddha said that letting go of obsessions is also a kind of obsession."
This refreshing theory surprised all the relatives. Soon, everyone gathered around, asking about such topics as luck, career, and health.
Xuan Zang vaguely remembered that he came to the real world to find His Royal Highness the Holy Son, but His Royal Highness the Holy Son was nowhere to be found, but he was surrounded by elders.
The second aunt asked:
"Master, where do you hold classes? I want to go to the class. Come on, come on, let's add a friend first. You are better than the monk who gave the Dharma class before. It's a lot better. Those people started selling products without finishing three sentences. You're not bad. You haven't sold merit rice, karma-eliminating noodles and indulgence coupons so far. It's quite good."
Xuan Zang. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, what kind of nonsense is this?
While everyone was asking, Li Yu came over with a basket of sticky bean buns for his relatives to taste. Seeing Xuanzang there, he was a little surprised:
“When did you come?”
“It’s been more than half an hour. "The elders have been asking me about Buddhism."
Li Yu handed the basket to Zhang Ping:
"This is my friend. He came to see me for something. Let's talk first." , I’ll go to the living room to teach you a Buddhist lesson later... Isn’t it too much to sell you fifty yuan for each of these Great Compassionate Sticky Bean Buns?”
Zhang Ping was amused by her silly son:
"Ganggungun, you will be thinking about the little money in our pockets all day long, and we are about to catch up with the low-price tour group... In-laws, try me I mixed the filling of the bean buns made by my son. I deliberately added less sugar to make them healthier.”
“Let’s eat together. There are so many relatives in our family, so don’t just entertain me.”
Li Yu led Xuanzang into the courtyard of the B&B. He wanted to go to the study room, but thinking that his grandfather was playing chess with the old man of the Zhou family, and that his father, father-in-law, and second uncles of both parties were all working as military advisors, he had no choice but to He led Xuanzang to the small pavilion in the courtyard:
“Come here suddenly, what’s the matter?”
"It's like this. Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun heard from the Fengshen World that His Highness the Holy Son was going to the book world. Both he and Wukong felt unsafe, so they asked the poor monk to ask."
Li Yu said:
"Tongtong wants to travel to the world in the book, but I won't go...the two saints don't transform into Taoism, and my mother forbids me from stepping into the world in the book."
After confirming this, Xuanzang clasped his hands and said:
"So that's it. Then why didn't Empress Qiongxiao stop the rumors?"
Yes, Qiong Xiao has an active mind and a big mouth. Everyone must have known about her yelling, but the old mother didn't stop and intervene, which was a bit abnormal.
Did she deliberately spread the word like this to attract Zhun Ti to take action?
Zhunti just snatched away Yu Ruyi from Chanjiao. Once he shows up, Yuanshi Tianzun will definitely come running over.
Hey...if the old mother takes action, wouldn't it be like two saints beating one up?
In the original work of "The Romance of the Gods", the Taoist sect has deceived the Western religion so much that the two sides are now fighting to the death. If Zhunti can be allowed to passively transform into Taoism, I think Yuanshi Tianzun will not refuse.
Li Yu brainstormed and felt that he had guessed the old mother's intention.
Xuan Zang became embarrassed:
“So, we should pretend not to know and continue to publicize that His Royal Highness the Son of God is about to arrive in the book world to inspect all parties, in order to paralyze the saint? ”
After going to the world in the book, no matter what they say or talk about, they can be noticed by the saints, unless they go to the Wa Palace, which is outside the Three Realms and can even block the perception of the saints.
Li Yu said:
"Wukong and Erlangshen are both extremely smart people. If you give a little hint, they will understand... Of course, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not. The more ambiguous it is, the easier it is for the saint to be fooled."
Let's get down to business. , Xuanzang tactfully expressed to His Highness the Holy Son that a certain monkey wanted to eat mangosteen.
Without saying anything, Li Yu called Wu Song and asked him to go to the city to wholesale some mangosteen and deliver it to the B&B warehouse.
Hearing that Monkey King wanted it, Wu Song immediately drove the X5 to the fruit market, intending to wholesale a small car to satisfy the Monkey King.
Seeing that it was still early, Xuanzang felt that some of what he had just said was unfinished, so he came up with the idea of opening a Buddhist class.
Li Yu informed the circle, but he didn't expect that his relatives really wanted to hear it.
Soon, everyone was sitting in the living room, and Xuanzang took the microphone, correcting many Buddhist views in the real world, and promoting Buddhist ideas.
He kept talking until the evening before he stood up to say goodbye and wished all the best for the engagement ceremony tomorrow.
After dinner, Li Yu and Zhou Ruotong carried two glasses of grape juice with ice cubes to the scenic spot. As soon as they arrived at the statue, they heard their old mother chanting:
"Xuan Zang What did this guy do at the B&B in the afternoon? He actually had some weak belief in merit. Although it was not much, it was very pure and much higher than the world in the book.”
"He opened a Buddhist class and taught some Buddhist concepts to my relatives...Mom, can you gain merit and belief by spreading some common sense?"
The Queen said:
"It seems so. Yes, since it is useful, let Xuanzang give lectures in the real world regularly when he is not busy. The more merit and belief he has, the more advantages Duobao will have in doing things."
For Taoist Duobao. To put it simply, the current Buddhist sect basically only has two disciples, Ksitigarbha and Xuanzang, and the Nezha family can be used. The remaining Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are almost all enemies.
Now that I have found a way to increase my belief in merit, I naturally cannot let it go.
Maybe after the difficulties of 1981, Xuanzang can still drive the golden body and preach Buddhism to demons and monsters in a physical way.
Arrived in front of the statue, Zhou Ruotong sat down and said silently in his heart:
"I like the ring made by Empress Yunxiao very much. When I go to the book world, I have to give her a gift. "
The empress also took great pains to bring the relationship between her daughters-in-law closer:
"Don't call me empress, we are separated. How old is Yunxiao? Tong doesn’t mind, just call her sister.”
"Okay, then I'll call you Sister Yunxiao."
Journey to the West, Wukong opened a box of mangosteen and pinched it open with great experience. Monkey anxiously took out the pieces of pulp inside and asked Xuan Xuan while eating. Zang:
“Master, have you asked clearly?”
Xuan Zang nodded, sat on a stone with an apple and nibbled on it:
“I have asked clearly. , in a while, distinguished guests will indeed come to visit us, Wukong must be prepared, and we must show our kindness as landlords.”
Distinguished guest?
Wukong raised his head unexpectedly. If he is the Son of God, then he is the Son of God, and if he is not the Son of God, then he is someone else. What does this ambiguous guest mean?
As a non-staff member of the scripture-gathering team, Erlangshen vaguely felt that there was another mystery, but he didn't say anything more and just ate the hot and sour noodles he had just cooked.
Wukong doesn't like spicy food, and Xuanzang doesn't eat spicy food, so this pot of hot and sour noodles belongs to Erlang Shen alone.
He looked at the map and found that it was quite safe five hundred miles to the west, and there were no traces of monsters or monsters. He said to Wukong and Xuanzang:
"After eating these powders, I will go back first and deal with the temple." If there are man-eating monsters, we will lead an army to conquer them."
Wukong asked:
"You are leaving, His Highness the Holy Son bought it. What should I do when the equipment arrives? You can’t let me carry it alone, right?”
Er Langshen said:
"I'll bring my brothers here to carry it together, so that everyone can earn some merit."
Hearing the word merit, Wukong quickly changed the subject:
"You are the true king of Xian Sheng, Erlang. Just be busy when you have to. I can do this little thing by myself, so you don’t have to run back and forth.”
It’s so exciting that the participating gods can print their names on the salt bags.
If I, Old Sun, were to move alone, I would just print a pattern of the Monkey King. Even the advertising slogans are ready-made:
The Monkey King's salt is delicious, fragrant and sweet...
But sweet doesn't seem to be suitable to describe salt. No matter, that's it. If anyone has any objections, let Xiaodi Ting and Xiao Xiaotian scare them. If they dare to disobey, the cycle will be repeated. One hundred and eight ways to play dog meat!
Erlang Shen didn’t argue with him, he ate and drank enough, took ten boxes of mangosteens and twenty boxes of bananas and flew away quickly, completely ignoring the monkey yelling behind him.
"Why is the Great Sage so rude?"
While Wukong was shouting, Nezha flew from the west and took the initiative to say hello.
Seeing this guy coming, Wukong quickly tied the bag around his waist tightly:
“What are you doing here?”
Nezha cupped his fists and saluted:
“Convey My master’s Buddhist decree... Brother Xuanzang, the master wants to know what you have done in the real world to have some merit and faith in you.”
Pure merit and pure faith are important to Lingshan. , but there is no shortage.
But the two were combined into one, and the purity was high enough that even Tathagata could not sit still. As soon as he sensed the change, he hurriedly sent Nezha to inquire.
Xuan Zang said truthfully:
“I taught some Buddhist principles to His Royal Highness the Son’s relatives and elders, and corrected some wrong Buddhist views in the real world. I don’t want to gain anything like this.”
Nezha bowed:
"Senior brother, if you have time, you can talk more. This method is quite beneficial to Lingshan."
"Okay, I'll go over there and talk about it when I'm not busy."
Nezha came and left quickly. Before leaving, he came to Wukong, rubbed his hands and said sheepishly:
"Can the Great Sage reward me with some fruit? Those oranges were really delicious last time."
Wukong didn't want to give them to him at first, but thinking that he might need Little Nezha to come and help fight in the future, he gave him five Boxes of mangosteen and ten boxes of bananas:
“That’s all. If I need help in the future...”
"Don't worry, great sage. I will be here at your call. I will fight against mountains of swords and seas of fire. I will never refuse!"
"Okay, I feel relieved with your words."
After Nezha left. , Wukong and Xuanzang ate something randomly and continued on their way. There was a black bear spirit waiting to be subdued at the Guanyin Temple, but they couldn't be intercepted.
In the real world, the day of engagement has finally arrived.
Since I had promised to keep a low profile in advance, not many administrators came, but many of my three direct disciples, Yue Fei, Liu Xie, and Li Shimin, came.
When Liu Xie came, he also brought a letter written by Zhuge Liang. In the letter, he wrote a lot of blessings and expressed regret and apology for not being able to come to the real world.
Although Zhuge Liang now understands the life in the original work, because he has not experienced it personally and lives a good life, he has always maintained his innocent innocence.
Li Shimin read it over and said with a smile:
“There is a piling of rhetoric between the lines, but this also shows that Junior Brother Kong Ming is in a good mood. If he were the bitter prime minister in the original work, he would not be able to write such a A beautifully written letter."
Yue Fei paid more attention to Zhuge Liang's body and said to Liu Xie:
"Please also ask Brother Xie to tell Junior Brother Kong Ming that he must exercise more. A strong body is the foundation for conquering the world."
"Don't worry, Brother Fei, I will tell him."
Now Chang'an University has meat every day, and can eat crane meat to strengthen the body every ten days. Zhuge Liang's body will never be as weak as in the original work.
When you reach adulthood, you might be able to fight in battle.
When the time comes, Liang will be so angry that the other party will be pissed off?
Engagement gifts came from every world, and they were nothing more than gold and silver items that could be easily converted into cash.
Everyone now understands that it is not easy to cash out money given to other things, and it is not an option to keep donating to museums. After all, 99% of museums in the country rely on grants to survive.
Relatively speaking, gold ingots are better. Now that the price of gold in the real world is high, it is best to use it for cash.
At noon, the engagement ceremony was held at the International Hotel in the city. Li Yu and Zhou Ruotong exchanged engagement rings and watched various blessing videos recorded in the book world.
Most of my relatives and friends regard the video content as an activity in the COS group, and think that the actors are quite similar, with more temperament and better acting skills than popular celebrities.
Especially those actresses pretending to be goddesses, they even added special effects to make them look like real gods... In terms of makeup work, you have to be a lover of Hanfu!
On the other hand, Zhou Yongnian and his son took every detail seriously.
When the video ended, Zhou Yongyuan specifically asked Zhou Ruotong to make a copy, intending to take it back for careful study.
After lunch, relatives and friends also left one after another.
Li Yu saw off his parents and elders at the high-speed rail station, drove Zhou Ruotong to the archaeological team to continue working, and then returned to the B&B.
As soon as they got off the car, Mu Guiying couldn't wait to come over:
"Hurry up, we've been waiting for a long time!"
Li Yu locked the car door, followed her to the study, and then looked When Diao Chan was sitting on the sofa, her face was both shy and full of expectation.
"Come on, second lady, I will put the engagement ring on you."
"Thank you...husband!"
That's right, I didn't imitate the leader of a certain village by calling him my late husband, which is an improvement.
Li Yu picked up the ring with the cicada wing pattern, held Diao Chan's slender hand, and gently put it on the ring finger of his left hand.
Diao Chan looked at it twice and threw herself into Li Yu's arms with joy:
"Are we considered engaged?"
"Yes, we will never be apart for the rest of our lives. .”
"Thank you, husband, and thank you sister Zhou."
After being excited, Diao Chan thought of Mu Guiying snickering at the side, so she quickly let go of Li Yu and took a picture of the ring with her mobile phone. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. I plan to go to the city to buy some gifts to thank Empress Yunxiao alone.
"Haha, it's finally my turn!"
Mu Guiying jumped into Li Yu's arms, kissed her hard, and then took out her ring.
Li Yu took it in his hand and looked at the crown pattern on it. It seemed that he must be the emperor.
He put it on Mu Guiying carefully, and then said:
"Tomorrow I will ask Zhang Daoling to go to Muke Village to propose marriage, okay?"
"Okay, okay, no problem..."
The elders all left. Mu Guiying leaned on the sofa and switched to the unformed mode again. However, Diao Chan became more attentive and started to notify Zhao Feng and others to continue class tomorrow with her mobile phone. Try to finish the course before the end of the summer vacation.
Li Yu sat next to the two of them, took out his mobile phone, took a photo of his engagement ring, and posted a happy engagement message in his circle of friends.
In the photo, the vine pattern, crown pattern, cicada wing pattern and auspicious cloud pattern complement each other, which is indescribably beautiful!
