Chapter 47 Seeing the King and Grandson Seeing Bodhi
Chapter 47 Meeting the king’s grandson and meeting Bodhi
"Have you known for a long time that this brat is involved with you??"
Next to a fortune-telling stall in Khotan, there was a little old man with white hair and beard, looking very sad and deceived.
A little girl on the side took the little old man's arm and shook it gently.
"Grandpa, what did you say!! How could I know??"
"I'm so stupid for you to be a grandpa! I was surprised at the time. I didn't want to wait for the good Qingcheng Mountain. I came to this place where birds don't shit. If this kid hadn't revealed the secret, I would have been kept in the dark by you!
!”
"At such a young age, I knew that if I didn't learn well, even my grandpa would dare to scheme!!"
"Grandpa~~"
The little old man couldn't help the little girl acting coquettishly and shook his head helplessly.
"Stop shaking it, your grandpa will fall apart if you shake it again!!"
"But you have to think about this matter yourself. That boy is obviously not an ordinary person. Grandpa, I have to say something bad, we can't deal with such a person!!"
As soon as the monk left, the originally extremely pious couple changed their expressions.
"I don’t know who is cultivating Buddha. If there is Bodhi in the heart, one can see the Tathagata! If there is Bodhi in the body, since I am my Buddha, I will go! I will go!!"
"Food and wine have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha is sitting in the heart! This sentence is a bit interesting, but unfortunately I haven't reached that state yet. Monk, I just want to get drunk!! I'm afraid I will disappoint you, a young man!!"
Next to a wine shop filled with the aroma of wine, he suddenly saw a monk, a meat-and-wine monk mentioned in the original work.
The monk begging for food is young.
In the Kingdom of Khotan, Zhao Huafan walked slowly down a street.
It can be said that there are monks everywhere in the thirty-two Buddhist countries in the Western Regions. Standing on the street, looking from a distance, there is a huge difference in the number of those with no hair on their heads and those with hair.
"We are just one of the many living beings in the world. We are all mortals. To say that we can afford it and put it down is nonsense. If it were that easy, monk, I wouldn't come here to get drunk every day!"
Seeing that he is young and has no hair on his mouth, I know that the other person has not experienced much.
The next moment, Zhao Huafan felt connected, and from the depths of his eyes, an extremely brilliant light shot up into the sky.
Venerable Faye—Wang Rensun.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Huafan walked towards the other party.
On the other side, after Zhao Huafan left this small stall, he began to wander around the streets and alleys of Khotan.
"I have a bright pearl, which has been locked up by the dust for a long time. Today, when the dust disappears, the light shines through thousands of mountains and rivers!"
When the monk was in the prime of life, he lived by begging instead of producing or working. However, the elderly couple relied on their own labor to support themselves.
After standing there for a while, Zhao Huafan watched as the couple saw off three or five monks one after another, some older and some younger.
"I'm not very interested. Shouldn't the past be left to the wind?" In the world of life, it has not even been a hundred years, and time is fleeting. If you focus all your energy on the past, what's the point!
!”
Coupled with such an obsessive belief here, these people who are receiving charity do not even have the right to say no.
"."
He laughed loudly, took a step forward, his figure flickered in the crowd, and disappeared in the next moment.
Wang Rensun picked up the small wine jar next to him, raised his head and took two swigs.
Then Zhao Huafan realized something in his heart and added a few words softly.
"It's time to meet the master!!"
"I have heard a saying that after wine and meat pass through the intestines, the Buddha will sit in his heart! Along the way, only the master acted so casually, so I suddenly wanted to come and see him!"
To put it bluntly, this person just picked up a head. This is still a rumor in the world. Perhaps only those who experienced it personally know what the real situation was back then.
"It's really interesting. A group of people are worshiping Buddha all day long, but they don't know that the real Buddha is right in front of them!!"
"Alas!! There are some things that even if we forget each other, we can't help ourselves in the world!! Why are you so interested in the monk's past??"
The owners of the shop are two elderly couples, with "goodwill" smiles on their weather-beaten faces.
Zhao Huafan sighed with some emotion.
When he was almost in the prime of life, he chanted the Buddha's name, took two unknown fruits, and left happily.
Even if they only give ten or fifty alms on this day, it will be a huge burden for this couple, because they cannot only eat one meal.
Hearing Zhao Huafan's words, Wang Rensun burped and raised his head in surprise. The young man in front of him finally made him look at him squarely.
With a hint of helplessness in his grief and anger, he finally shook his head and returned to his stall.
Hearing this, Wang Rensun couldn't help but raise his head again and looked at Zhao Huafan carefully.
Seeing a little baby suddenly coming across from him, Wang Rensun looked at the baby with his drunken eyes and asked aloud.
"It seems that the master has an unforgettable past!!"
But without exception, they did not return empty-handed.
In front of a fruit shop, a monk was asking for alms.
"Hey! Who is your little doll??"
He also gave alms to the passing monks. Although it was only one or two fruits, don't forget how many monks there are in this city.
Zhao Huafan sighed inwardly when he saw this scene.
"We are all human beings, with flesh and blood and emotions. Many things cannot be forgotten just by wanting to forget them. Not to mention me, the monk, even the great lord of Xueyue City, the Jiu Master Baili Dongjun.
Drunk all day!!”
Zhao Huafan sat there calmly, with a righteous mind. Hearing Wang Rensun's words, he shook his head slightly.
This person practiced the Shattering Sky Knife and became famous in the world many years ago. He was called brother to Ye Dingzhi, but later, because of his master's orders, he killed Ye Dingzhi. Of course, this does not mean that Ye Dingzhi's combat power is inferior.
The Sky-Shattering Sword King Rensun had already been defeated by Baili Dongjun at that time.
"You know nothing, kid. At your age, I'm afraid you haven't experienced anything! Everyone can say anything, but when it comes to this, how can you let it go so easily!"
Zhao Huafan listened quietly to what the other party said, and after a moment of silence, he said again: "Master, haven't you ever thought about letting go?" There is a saying in Buddhism, which is that the sea of suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore. Many times, when it comes to one thing,
What you don’t let go of is not others, but yourself. Master, do you think this is correct??”
He took another sip of wine and snorted.
Not everyone can say this.
"Who are you??"
"Zhao Huafan, who is also one of the many living beings mentioned by the master, came to Khotan on the spur of the moment. He didn't know it was fate, but he happened to meet the master. Seeing the master's free and easy manner, he wanted to come and meet him!!"
"If someone else said this, I wouldn't believe it, monk, but it's different with you, monk. If you say this, monk, I would believe it! Are you interested in having a drink with me, a sloppy monk?"
