In the Longyou Military Camp, Li Kuo was sitting in front of the desk and looking at a newspaper.
Since the battle of Great Wall Castle, the soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Regiment under his command have been severely damaged, and only half of the 300 people remain. Fortunately, General Geshuhan has drawn more than 400 strong men from the Longyou Guard Army.
He just made up an integer of six hundred people.
Although the court's official reward has not yet been received, General Geshuhan has actually granted him the actual position of Zuo Guoyi, the Duke of Tongwu Camp. Although it has not been officially recognized by the court, it has been able to command more than 600 people and has also allowed him to
The boy was overjoyed.
Uncle Gao said that Geshuhan would come forward to recommend his rank as a lieutenant, so that his position as Zuo Guoyi was fulfilled. Li Kuo is not a sage, so how could he have no desire.
?Standing from a higher position, you can have more possibilities to dominate your own destiny. Only by dominating your own destiny can you have the opportunity to avenge your dead robe! Li Kuo clenched his fists and hammered the case.
"Brother Kuoer, let me send you a letter." Zhang Yanji ran to Shuai's case and handed Li Kuo a letter.
"She?" The young man was slightly stunned, subconsciously took out the letter paper and took out the letter paper.
"A hundred days of gathering together, there will be a farewell. That night, I was caught in the medicine and fell into a coma. I remember the kindness of saving my life... That slap is what I owe you. There must be an inner demon in the army.
, I hope you take care of it!" I don’t know how many times I have applied it under the slightest handwriting.
For some reason, Li Kuo's heart was slightly shocked. After leaving, she left like this? Since the boy knew that Ni Xin's daughter, he deliberately kept a distance from her. Even when he was holding on to the Great Wall, the two of them were just
A few sentences of routine. Maybe it was because of the slap on a rainy night? Or it was a remedy for the excessive intimacy of the relationship before? As for the specific reason, even the boy himself couldn't explain it clearly. In short, the boy was afraid of her eyes.
Meeting. Every time I look at it, the image reflected back from the bright eyes is A Tian’s face with dimples.
"Brother Kuo'er, what's wrong?" Zhang Yanji saw Li Kuo's absent-minded look and shook his hand in front of him: "You can't fall in love with that big pie face, right?"
"Ah? What are you talking about, you guy, how could I fall in love with her?" Li Kuo casually pressed the letter under the desk and grabbed Zhang Yanji.
"I'll just say, you're upset and you're so angry. You really don't want to tell me. I'm actually pretty good. It's just that I'm so hard to ice. Someone wants to make a stove to cook her.
!” Zhang Xiaolangjun shrugged, his face full of indifferentness.
"You damn boy!" Li Kuo stepped forward and hugged Zhang Yanji, which was considered blocking Zhang Xiaolangjun's big mouth.
"What's so happy?" Gui Delang general Zhang Shouyu entered the camp at some point, and sat on Hu's bench with a smile and looked at the two of them.
"General Lang!"
"Brother Zhang!"
The two teenagers hugged Zhang Shouyu and saluted a military salute.
"Sometimes I really envy you. Those who fight and make fun of each other are deep brotherly love. Unlike me, if I play with my brothers, I wouldn't be called an old madman."
"No, Brother Zhang, you joke with us again!"
"Okay, okay, I'm not kidding. Actually, there's nothing big about me. I heard that a master recently talked about Buddhism in Tulou Mountain on the outskirts of the city. Do you want to join me in the fun? Maybe we can get rid of it.
What about the anger on his body?" Zhang Shouyu waved his hand and made a suggestion.
"Brother has a life, how dare you not obey me?" Both boys smiled heartily.
......
On the outskirts of Shanzhou, outside a dilapidated temple in the Tulou Mountains, two men dressed in hunters moved slowly.
The two of them were tall and short. The shorter ones on the side were obviously seriously injured. Although the wound had been bandaged with white cloth, blood still fainted from the chest. The wide and tall ones on the side supported their companions and walked slowly to the dilapidated temple.
, push open the dilapidated wooden door, and a stream of dust rose with the wind.
From the mottled wooden door, you can see that the temple has been dilapidated for a while, and the red color faded for a while, which makes people sigh that time has passed and the past is gone.
But he had no time to express his feelings, and helped his companions to the main hall of the small temple, gathered together to gather weeds, slowly put them down, and sat on the ground.
Looking around, I felt that this temple was indeed no different from ordinary people. Just as the years had fallen into prosperity, when the mist was dispersed and the dew was washed away, what was left was an empty shell.
Forget it.
The tall hunter was impatient, so he got up and walked around. He slowly walked to the back of the hall, lifted the dusty canvas curtain, and the hunter came to a small courtyard where the debris was piled up in the back.
Although it was covered with dust, he could still see many neatly stacked scriptures through the mottled wooden rack. Even if time washes away the prosperity of the past, these precious scriptures will not be valued as time passes.
.
He was shocked. Why did the seemingly dilapidated small temple store so many scriptures? Although he was not interested in Buddhism, he still sighed when he witnessed so many scriptures with his own eyes.
"Donor, are you here to ask for a wish or fulfill your wish?" The hunter was still wandering, but he heard an old voice coming from behind.
Turning slightly, I saw an old monk with white beards in front of me. He folded his hands and bowed, and the hunter said in harmony: "Master be kind. Xiaoke is neither here to seek a wish nor to fulfill his wish."
.”
"Oh? Then why did the donor come to the small temple?" The old monk looked at the hunter with a clear look of joke. Has there ever been a solemnity that is unique to the monks?
"Master Rong Bing, Xiaoke's elder brother was unfortunately scratched by the black blind man while hunting bears, so Xiaoke wanted to take his brother to Shanzhou City to find a doctor. But how could the master know that after one day and one night, he did not see half a family?
Let my brothers rest for a while?”
The old monk folded his hands together and bowed to the hunter, "The donor is polite. There are no people in this small temple. You can stay here first. It is not too late to leave after you recover from the wounds. But you really need to do your own food and clothing.
burden."
When the hunter heard this, he was a little puzzled and frowned and said, "Master, where can I find food in this wilderness? My elder brother is injured again, how can I not serve me? I will give you the money.
, please prepare two vegetarian dishes for us.”
The old monk shook his head lightly and sighed, "Can the young donor understand Buddhism?"
The hunter was already upset, but when he saw the old monk making such a difficult situation, he couldn't help but feel furious.
"Although I don't say that I am proficient in Buddhism, I understand a little bit."
"Oh, that young donor may explain what kind of mercy is for me?"
"What's the difficulty?" After the fierce force came up, the hunter said strongly: "The Buddha taught us to do more good deeds, eliminate the benefits of all sentient beings, which is for compassion. All sentient beings suffer, so save them, cherish sentient beings, and give them.
Help the poor, support the sick, help them in urgent need, and make them reach the other side of happiness.”
After a brief pause, he continued: "The Buddha taught us to be compassionate without fate (Note 1). Not only should we love those who have relationships, but we should also care for those who have no relatives and friends. Just like my Confucian etiquette
As mentioned in the Datong Chapter (Note 2), it is not only his relatives but his sons but his sons. Instead, he should be the elders and the elderly of others, and his young and the young of others. Isn’t this behavior of the master contrary to Buddhism? How can he be called
The sutra?”
The old monk sighed and said, "Young donor is such a bad word. The young donor only teaches us to be compassionless, but he does not know that the Buddha also teaches us to be one body and great compassion? (Note 3) All things in the universe are one, so you should
We are in harmony with each other, and we are connected by flesh and blood. But I have no food to get, but how can I achieve great compassion for the same body? Since this is the case, I have to make people hungry and I am hungry, and I am hungry."
Seeing that he was so smooth, the anger in his heart was completely ignited: "After the master said this, Xiao Ke didn't understand it. Buddhism says that Buddha is nature, and nature is Buddha. People naturally become Buddhas in Buddha.
Since everyone can become a Buddha, why is there no one giving vegetarian food?"
After hearing the hunter say this, the old monk sat cross-legged on the dark red cushion, closed his eyes and said softly: "Although everyone can become a Buddha, one must be as calm as water and have no distractions. To make the mind as calm as water, one must break it.
The three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance. Only in this way will it be natural and natural to become a Buddha. Nowadays, people are busy all day long for fame and fortune, just want to use the Buddha to seek some shade and peace. In this way, how can they become a Buddha?
Woolen cloth?"
Although the hunter was angry, he saw that what he said was reasonable, but he didn't know how to refute it. After thinking for a moment, he changed his mind and said loudly: "Since it is difficult for people in the world to become Buddhas, why do the masters still spread Buddhism? Since there is no Buddhism.
Charm guides the world to be good, but why should it occupy the title of saving all living beings?”
The old monk sighed lightly and said loudly: "Good, good, good, young donor, be careful of his words. It is not that the Dharma is not exquisite enough, but that people in the world cannot let go of their self-attachment (Note 4). Everything I do is for my own use,
If I really have self, why can my mind be controlled by life and death? And self-attachment is a common problem for all sentient beings. Only by letting go of self-attachment can you find the true self and become a Buddha immediately.”
The hunter still refused to give in and continued, "With the Master's opinion, what if my brothers and I want to get a vegetarian meal, but we have to wait until everyone let go of their ego and become a Buddha immediately?"
The old monk still closed his eyes and said in a harmonious voice: "Young donor, I see that you are still in a state of depression, so I cannot understand Buddhism well. Buddhism says that color is emptiness and color. Cause and condition are temporary aggregation and no eternal existence.
An unchanging entity. Although everyone is trapped by profit, fortune and fame today, it does not mean that they will not understand the samadhi of the world the next day and become a Buddha. Buddhism teaches us to follow nature. If the young donor is too forced, it will go against the essence of all things in the aristocratic family.
law."
Seeing that the old monk was quite reasonable and sincere, the hunter calmed down a little and said in a harmonious voice: "How can one make people be kind according to the master's opinion?"
The old monk said softly: "There is a saying in Buddhism that all things are time, sorrow is joy, and blessings are all living beings. Use the wonderful method to cut off the root of afflictions, such as ultimate happiness. Give financial means to liberate the public, and give
Only when fearlessness brings peace to the public's minds can all be filled with joy."
Hearing this, the hunter slapped his thigh and said happily: "Master, I understand. You mean that as long as we help each other in our daily lives, the goodness of Buddhism will be rooted in the hearts of every citizen, so that whenever we ask for something, we will not be able to do so.
You are in a dilemma of no one helping me. Before you tell me to get help, you should think about what you have given to others, so that you will become merciless and closer to Buddhism?”
When the old monk heard this, his eyes opened instantly and said softly: "Young donor has a lot of wisdom. It is really my Buddha's blessing. The vegetarian meal is ready. When your elder brother wakes up and serves him to eat some vegetarian food."
After saying that, he got up and walked towards the outer room.
"Thank you, Master." The hunter bowed to the old monk, his heart was relieved, and he was already relieved.
Note 1: Great Compassion without Responsibility: The Buddha saw that everything is empty and did not regard specific people as objects, so the Buddha's compassion is specifically called great Compassion without Responsibility; his compassion pervades all sentient beings, and he is the most respected person among compassion.
Note 2: Datong Chapter of Li Yun: From "The Book of Rites". The original text is as follows:
The way of the great way is to be the public. Choose wise and capable people, and be faithful and harmonious. Old friends only have relatives, not only their sons, but also their sons. Let the elderly have something to live, the strong have something to use, and the young have something to have a good life. They are lonely and useless.
All have something to support. Men have a share, women have a return. If you hate them, they will abandon them on the ground, they will not have to hide them in themselves. If you hate them, they will not come out of their body, and they will not be for themselves. Therefore, they will be closed but will not prosper and steal.
The thief is chaotic and does not act. Therefore, the outside world is not closed. This is called Datong.
Note 3: Great Compassion for the One-Body: The Buddha's compassion is a state of unity of heart and affection for the suffering of sentient beings for one's own suffering, so it is called great compassion for the One-Body. Its compassion is vast and endless, so it is called great compassion for the One-Body (nothing is wider, bigger, and more upright.
Those who are sad about this).
Note 4: Let go of the self-attachment: that is, let go of the distracting thoughts in your heart, give up the external self, think quietly, and obtain the self.
ps: This chapter is so painful to write, and it took me more than 4 hours to code. Well, let's keep it aside, guess who the hunter is?
