Chapter Thirteen: Theory of God and Buddha
The wild rooster crowed and the kingfisher roared. One sound after another awakened Li Wei from his selfless reading.
"I'll go, I've read the book all night."
Li Wei glanced at it just dawn, and at the same time he heard the low roar of tigers at the door.
The white tiger was already waiting at the door early, squatting at the door like a cute little cat.
Next to it is Ah Hei...
This tiger and dog are actually alone and restless!
"Good guy, you are not a dog, but you are really a tiger." Li Wei was shocked when he looked at Ah Hei. Was he not afraid of this white tiger?
This is an elderly dog who is not afraid of tigers.
"Wang~"
Ah Hei stretched lazily and walked into the gate of the Taoist temple.
The white tiger also entered the Taoist temple, with a tiger and a dog entrenched beside him and said to listen to the scriptures.
"Today I won't talk about the "Tao Te Ching", let's talk about the "Book of Changes".
"Wang~ao."
"Aowu..."
Li Wei’s lecture on the scriptures is not just about preaching to them.
In my current state, I have benefited a lot from speaking scriptures.
From the perspective of "human" and from the perspective of "immortals", it is a completely different and novel world.
The weather today is not very good, and it is drizzling.
The light gauze drizzle, the sound of falling down.
Then it drips and goes, like falling into a jade plate.
Li Wei was talking about the scriptures under the eaves. Before he finished speaking, the white tiger ran away.
He still ran away like running, which made Li Wei feel that although the top student loves to study, he can't stand it if he doesn't get off the get out of class.
The White Tiger needs to digest the content of this preaching.
At this time, the white tiger disappeared into the rain curtain.
Li Wei also returned to the hall to clean and remove dust. With such a big Taoist temple, cleaning every day is not easy, let alone Ah Hei's dog hair...
It was raining this day, and Li Wei didn't want to go out to tell fortunes and set up a stall - the main reason was that Zhang Dawei and Zhang Mengmeng contributed a total of 500 yuan in banknotes yesterday...
All of a sudden, Li Wei, who was in a state of extreme poverty, made him a small fortune.
How wonderful it is.
"Based on my daily income, my daily salary is comparable to that of a programmer in a large factory."
Of course, Li Wei didn’t know how much the income of programmers in major factories was, and he was just yy.
Under the rain curtain, Taoists preached the scriptures and black dogs followed.
The little days are a little beautiful.
Li Wei raised a fire under the eaves in front of the hall to keep warm. Adan was very happy and stretched out his two claws on the fire, making it very happy.
Li Wei threw a few sweet potatoes down and buried them in the fire.
After a while, the fragrant roasted sweet potatoes were out of the pot, and the roast was browned and browned.
The rain and mist are floating, like smoke rising in cooking cooking.
The light rain turned into heavy rain.
It was a squeak, and a cool breeze blew.
"Dad, there is a Taoist temple here, why don't we go to shelter from the rain."
Suddenly, a sound rang outside the door.
Li Wei, who was still roasting sweet potatoes, was he suddenly curious. Is there any pilgrims coming to the door during this painful weather?
Li Wei looked closely and saw that two pilgrims, one old and one young, were indeed coming to the door.
A girl who looks weird and beautiful, and a middle-aged man wearing blue cloth clothes, with smile patterns on his face and white cloth shoes on his feet, he looks quite kind and honest.
Li Wei felt a little strange when he looked at it. He was so heart-wrenching with cloth shoes.
"This, it suddenly rained heavily when we climbed the mountain. Can the Taoist Master let us come in and shelter from the rain?"
"Of course it's okay, sir, please come in."
"Thank you, Taoist priest."
"No need, it's just a matter of raising hands." Li Wei smiled slightly and welcomed the two into the house.
"In addition to sir, there is something else!" The cute girl in a red and green gown said with her waist and pouting.
"That little girl, please come in."
Li Wei doesn't hate the little girl's eccentricity.
The little girl came to the fire to cook the fire. I don’t know if it was because the fire was too strong or because they didn’t move forward in the rain for too long, and their clothes were dry.
"It's so warm..." The little girl was burning the fire, and the reflected fire flashed in her eyes.
The weird and cute ones.
Li Wei picked up one of the sweet potatoes with an iron clip, blew it, and handed it to the little girl and said, "Come on, I'll give you fresh roasted sweet potatoes."
The little girl had already drooled and wanted to pick up the roasted sweet potatoes, but she despised him for being hot. She just felt the heat from a distance and then took her back.
"Let me give it to my dad first." The little girl bit her hand greedily.
"The little girl is quite filial." Li Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are all."
Li Wei put two more sweet potatoes down.
The firewood smoke rose, the sweet potatoes smelled strong, and the little girl's saliva was flowing down.
"Thank you, Taoist priest." The middle-aged man said with some gratitude.
"My mountain city Taoist temple is not very popular on weekdays. You are very active and popular.
Li Wei thought silently in his heart, it would be even better if he could put some money in it.
After some chat, the girl introduced herself. Her name was Lin Chuhong and the man was Lin Gongwei. She was a father-daughter relationship.
At this time, the girl who was looking forward to roasting sweet potatoes looked sly and said, "When it comes to uncle, is it really useful to worship gods?"
"Then do you think it is useful or useless?" Li Wei smiled.
Lin Chuhong thought for a while, hugged her chest and said as if she was right: "It should be useless."
"Oh, why?"
"If worshiping gods is useful, then everyone doesn't have to do anything else. Just study how to worship gods well, it's so convenient." Lin Chuhong shrugged and said, without any intention of giving Li Wei face.
Lin Gongwei, who was standing beside him, apologized: "Sorry, the little girl is ignorant."
After listening to it, Li Wei pondered for a moment and said with a smile.
"How can this be considered ignorant? On the contrary, this is very sensible."
"It is true, so it is useless to appeal to gods and Buddhas."
"Then why are there still people burning incense and worshiping God?" Lin Chuhong said innocently.
"Of course it's because... it's useful to burn incense and worship Buddha." Li Wei said with a smile.
"Uncle, why do you say it's useful and it's useless?" Lin Chuhong was confused by Li Wei's repeated jumps.
Li Wei continued: "Add to Gods and Buddhas is not necessarily to solve the problem itself, but also to find comfort in your heart. Indeed, you are right. Applicating to Gods and Buddhas cannot give you a solution to the problem. If you can, then the world is in chaos and gods and immortals are not allowed to die, right?"
"So, the greatest meaning of the host gods and Buddhas is that layer of belief, which brings you the courage to solve problems and the comfort in your heart. This is the meaning of the existence of gods and Buddhas' beliefs, and this is the meaning of worship."
Li Wei told the story.
Lin Chuhong was stunned when she heard this, thinking that it made sense.
"Then I don't believe in Gods and Buddhas. I believe in other things, so I can't."
"Parents, family affection, partners, love, friends, and affection are all faiths. Some people need gods and Buddhas as mediums to support their beliefs, and some people, the people around them can support their beliefs." Li Wei smiled softly.
"So, I have a dad, so I don't need to worship me? Wouldn't it be enough for me to worship my dad?"
Li Wei said strangely.
"Your dad is not dead again, so he always feels strange when he bows."
Listening to Li Wei and Lin Chuhong talking and debating scriptures in a good manner, Lin Gongwei smiled and watched his daughter joke.
Rain, forest, charcoal and sweet potatoes.
The smoke and incense are everywhere.
