Chapter 280 The upcoming martial arts conference

After punching, Wang Yu and other lay disciples wanted to go to the temple to listen to the preaching. For these things, he would run away if he could, and he would generally not go.

So at noon, when most of the disciples of the Zhen generation went to the Dharma Hall, he secretly went to a corner of the mountain gate and climbed over the wall and went down the mountain.

In the southern part of Xiangnan, there are a lot of food and drinks, and many scholars have also emerged. Relatively speaking, fewer martial arts practitioners are practiced than in other places.

A monk like Wang Yu must be watched when he goes to the town, so after following other disciples a few trips, he gave a tooth sacrifice in a village not far from Vajra Temple.

The village is not big, with only a few dozen families. Because it is close to several mountains, many hunters go up the mountain to hunt and plant some crops in the fields, but not many of them, they all eat them themselves.

Usually, the people who go to the town sell wild game from the mountains are all cooked.

When Wang Yu arrived at the village, almost everyone here knew him. After saying hello, he went directly to a thatched hut in the corner of the village.

"Spoon, open the door!"

As he finished speaking, the door of the hut was opened and a thin child walked out with dark skin and big eyes.

"Monster, you are here again. What are you going to eat today?"

The two met on the mountain. At that time, the spoon was roasting the hare. After Wang Yu bought some copper coins, they established a trading relationship.

When he didn't want to eat, Wang Yu would give the child money and let him do it. He became familiar with it after a while.

"What are you going to eat? Have you got some good things recently?"

Wang Yu went into the hut without hesitation. It was very small inside, with only a table and a bed. He cooked everything like a spoon, and made a stove outside to cook.

"Yesterday, Uncle Huang from the village caught a wild boar and gave me some. If you want to eat it, I'll get it."

The spoon grinned and stretched out his hand.

Wang Yu took out seven or eight copper coins from his arms and put them on.

"That's all today. Go and do it quickly. Remember to smell a little more."

The spoon took the money and his eyes were gone. He went directly under the bed to take out a piggy bank and put the copper in it.

He didn't mind at all that Wang Yu was watching from the side.

After doing everything, I picked the meat I sent yesterday from the wall and cut it into slices with a knife.

"I heard from the villagers that many disciples in your temple will walk to the town to eat meat and drink. Didn't you say that Buddhist disciples should quit these things? And you, you run to my house every few days, and you are not afraid of being punished when you go back?"

The spoon said while cutting, these problems had been in his mind for a long time.

Wang Yu sat on a small stool and smiled: "The reason why lay disciples are lay disciples is because they have to return to secular life after learning art. I always hear the monks say that the Buddha is there, it is not that he wants you to learn from him, but that you believe in him and are willing to listen to what he says."

"Then why do I always see monks wearing monk robes coming to persuade people in our village to believe in Buddhism and learn Buddhism, or go to hell?"

The spoon said in confusion: "It's very fierce to drink one by one."

Wang Yu shook his head and said, "The Buddha can't control the appearance of sentient beings. Just like there are good people and bad people in this world, then there are naturally good monks and crooked monks."

"It turns out that monks also have their hearts in the secular world."

Shaozi smiled and said, "Many people in our village believe in Buddhism. They know that you are coming to me to eat meat, so they will secretly stuff them."

"Then you fellow villagers are really good people."

Wang Yu also smiled and urged Scoop to cook quickly.

He usually comes out to eat something every ten days or half a month, but it is not because of his desire to eat.

Except for the first time, the rest was because Shaozi said that he wanted to study and learn to read, but there was no school in the village. If he wanted to study with his teacher, he had to go to a town dozens of miles away from the village.

It is not convenient to travel far, so you have to live in the school. In this way, in addition to tuition fees, you also have to pay another meal fee.

Spoon is an orphan who can grow up so big, thanks to the help of the villagers, who have money to study there.

So when Wang Yu found out, he decided to buy some food from him.

The spoon cut the meat and walked out of the hut with a wooden plate. There was a shed made of straw outside, and a stove made of mud inside, where he cooked food.

Not long after, a roast pork spread outside and asked. Wang Yu in the room smelled it, and his smile became even more joyful.

However, before he could eat, a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside.

"Little donor, is my disciple in your house?"

Then Scoop said in confusion: "Master, your disciple? What does he look like? There is no one in my room."

Wang Yu had already guessed who the person was, so before the man could expose the spoon's lie, he got up and walked out.

"I didn't admit that you are my master, don't mess around with your relationship."

He said without hesitation that the person who came was Jiekong. The head of the precept hall did not look angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "It's not bad for these few days. After those fellow Taoists in the world came, I will officially teach you something."

"Then why are you looking for me?"

Wang Yu said curiously: "Even if you really want to catch it, you shouldn't be there."

"The abbot is anxious about all the monks in the temple and is preparing to hold a small competition in the temple before the martial arts conference begins, and use the level of martial arts to decide the people sent at that time."

Jiekong had no intention of being polite. After the spoon was ready to make the meat, he reached out and grabbed a piece of it in it, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"Haha, the meat is old, but the taste is OK."

He said while eating.

Shaozi was stunned: "Master, you are breaking the precepts!"

"Break the precept? No, no, this is not flesh, it is a piece of goodwill of my disciple."

Jie Kong smiled and ate another piece of meat, put his hand into the monk's robes, took out a piece of silver, and placed it on the spoon's hand.

"You want to read and read, this is a good thing. If you really do help you, then I can help you too."

He smiled and said, "Don't refuse, otherwise he will be severely punished when he turns back to the temple."

Shaozi looked at Wang Yu in embarrassment, and saw him nodding, then he took the silver, fell to his knees and kowtowed, "Thank you, the master."

Jie Kong avoided his salute and took the meat up and put it in front of Wang Yu, "Do you still eat it?"

"I won't eat anymore. Can I not participate in the competition in the temple?"

Wang Yu whispered: "But I want the Tathagata's magic palm, can you teach me?"

Jiekong put down the plate and turned around and was about to leave. "Of course I can teach you that the Tathagata's magic palm is not only a palm technique, but also a more tempering of the human heart. Your mind and nature have passed, so there will be no future troubles."

After a pause, he continued, "Let's go and compete. You haven't been to the Dharma Hall once in half a year. The abbot has already complained, just think it's blocking his mouth."

Wang Yu sighed, "It's no point in fighting with them. They are all a bunch of flirting and flirting, which is boring."

"Hahaha, it's okay. When you get the first name, I will give you the character to make sure it's interesting."

After saying that, Jie Kong left directly. Wang Yu followed behind and disappeared after a few people flashed.

The spoon looked at the silver and meat and kowtowed a few more times.
