Chapter 93 Get a new skill (4K chapter)

Tang Seng followed Boqin. Along the way, wolves ran away when they met, and poisonous insects and snakes fled, which made Tang Seng sigh repeatedly.

Even comparing Bo Chin to a mountain god.

In Tang Seng's eyes, this kind of power is comparable to that of the mountain god.

So he sighed: "Boqin is the real mountain god!"

On the way, Boqin beat a lot of roe deer, hares and the like.

Hearing Tang Seng's exclamation, he couldn't help laughing and said: "I'm just a hunter. As the saying goes, relying on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water. These are just the ability to eat. How can the power of mountain gods be compared with me and other mortals. Thanks to the elders, I got a little harvest, when I go back, I quickly peeled the skin, cooked the meat, made some meals, and entertained the elders."

Tang Seng didn't think much about it, he just gave a long trombone and called out the Buddha's call:
"Amitabha. The poor monk will thank you in advance."

Tang Seng followed behind leading the horse, and Boqin walked ahead with the deer on his shoulders and the prey in his hands.

After passing a small hillside, a family appeared in sight.

There is a saying: towering ancient trees, long roads and barren vines.Thousands of valleys are windy and dusty, and thousands of cliffs have strange weather.A diameter of wild flowers is fragrant, and several poles of bamboo are green.The grass gate tower and the fenced yard are worthy of description and painting; the stone bridge and the white clay wall are really happy and rare.Qiu Rong is desolate, refreshing and lonely.Yellow leaves fall beside the road, and white clouds float on the mountains.The mountain birds in the sparse forest are chattering, and the dogs outside the village gate are loud.What a scene of paradise.

When Boqin arrived at the door, he dropped the bound prey and shouted loudly: "Da Zhuang, Brother Mao, Zhu Zhu, Xiaoya..."

Sparsely and draggingly, from the corners of the circle gate, firewood room, side house and other corners, three ten-year-old brothers and a little girl came out.Although the three younger brothers are not very old, they look as fierce as Boqin. A trace of muscle can be seen on their arms, which shows that they have been exercising a lot.The little girl's face is as smudged as a cat's, and her eyes are piercing, which makes people feel happy when they see her.

I only heard Boqin ordering: "Take and skin these prey quickly, and treat me to entertain my fellow countrymen from the Tang Dynasty."

With that said, he unloaded a heavy load from the horse and put it in the open space in front of the house to graze.

He greeted Tang Seng to enter the room and poured tea.

Tang Seng was naturally thankful for a while but didn't mention it.

At this time, an old woman came out of the inner bedroom with a woman and saluted Tang Seng.

Listen to Na Boqin saying: "This is my mother, and beside me is my married wife."

Hearing this, Tang Seng got up and bowed to Boqin's mother, saying, "Please order me to sit in the hall, and the poor monk will pay my respects."

Boqin's mother shook her head and said, "I'm a guest from afar, so you don't need to be polite."

Seeing the look in the eyes of the old mother, Boqin quickly introduced: "Mother, he is a person sent by the king of Tang Dynasty to the west to see the Buddha and ask for scriptures. I met the child in the forest. The child saw that it was getting late, so I invite you He went home to rest for a while, and sent him on his way tomorrow morning."

The old woman was overjoyed when she heard the words, put her palms together and smiled and said, "Tomorrow is the anniversary of your father's death. It must be fate that this elder came to the humble house. I also hope that the elder will do good deeds and read scriptures for my old man. I will not leave until the day after tomorrow." Let's go, I don't know what the elder wants?"

Boqin is the Taibao of Zhenshan. He usually makes a living by hunting. Although his hands are covered with blood, he is also a filial person.Hearing what his mother said, he couldn't help but look at Tang Seng.

But Tang Seng said with great joy with a smile on his face: "The poor monk is worried and doesn't know how to repay the grace of his benefactor's life. What the old lady said, the poor monk has accepted, and I wish to follow you."

……

While speaking, it was getting late unconsciously.

A few little guys had already skinned and cooked the prey, and placed tables and stools in the hall.

Seeing this, Boqin asked Tang Monk to move to eat.

Tang Seng saw that the table was full of wolves' food, the meat was fragrant, and there was no vegetarian food.So I couldn't help calling the Buddha's name and said: "Good, I don't want to hide it from the Taibao. I have been a monk since I was born, and I have never touched meat. These dishes are not edible, so as not to break the fast and mess up the way."

When Boqin heard this, he pondered for a while and said helplessly: "Elder, I was born as a hunter. I have been hunting for generations for a living. My meals are all meat, and I have never eaten vegetarian food. Even if there are bamboo shoots, fungus, mountain mushrooms, Dried vegetables, etc., the frying pan is also boiled with various kinds of oil, it is too greasy, but it can’t make vegetarian dishes. What can I do? It’s my fault to invite the elders.”

Tang Seng said: "Boqin don't need to be overwhelmed, you can eat this kind of food. In the past, I used to practice meditation in Jinshan Temple, sitting quietly for three to five days and enduring hunger, but nothing else happened."

Hearing Tang Seng's words, Boqin frowned and said: "If you are invited to be a guest, it is natural to entertain you. I have never heard of people who invite guests and do not entertain guests. Although there is nothing to do if you starve for three to five days, if you starve to death, Isn't that my fault?"

The corner of Tang Seng's mouth twitched when he heard Boqin open and close his mouth.

"No, the poor monk's survival is all thanks to the Taibao's grace. It is better to starve to death than to be eaten by tigers, leopards, wolves, snakes, insects, birds and beasts."

But the old woman glared at Boqin and said: "Don't talk nonsense, and arrange for the elder to sit down, and wait for the old man to cook some vegetarian food for the elder."

Then he took his daughter-in-law and went to the stove.

Ask the daughter-in-law to take down the small pot, burn it with oil, brush it and brush it, wash it and wash it, and then put it on the stove.First boil half a pot of boiling water, and then fry some elm leaves to make tea soup, then cook some yellow rice and corn, and cook some dried vegetables, fill two bowls, take them out and spread them on the on the table.Soak bamboo shoots with fungus, boil them in water, pick them up and put them in cold water to cool down.After finishing the work, chop the bamboo shoots and put them together with the fungus in a bowl, pour some green onion and garlic, put some salt, stir like this, and a cold dish is ready.

Put it on the table, and the old woman asked Tang Seng to try it.

Seeing that the corn, rice and cold dishes were not greasy, Tang Seng sat down and thanked the old woman, "Thank you for your hard work."

Tang Seng sat down, but did not rush to move the bowl and chopsticks.

Instead, he clasped his hands together and chanted sutras, so that Bo Qin didn't dare to pick up vegetables while watching.

Ask Tang Seng why this method is.Tang Seng said lightly: "This is to invite Zhaier."

Hearing this, Boqin couldn't help curling his lips and said, "I have to recite sutras for every meal, and I'm going to starve to death."

Tang Seng shook his head and said with a smile: "This is not a scripture, but a volume of the mantra of Jiezhai."

"You monks, you don't know much about your skills, but there are quite a lot of rules, even if you have a meal, you have to recite it..."

Tang Seng heard this, but did not explain.

After eating the vegetarian meal, the host's family put away the dishes. Seeing that Tang Monk was bored, Boqin led Sanzang out of the middle house and walked around behind.

Across the narrow road, there is a grass pavilion.

Pushing open the door, I saw several bows and crossbows, several pots of arrows hanging on the walls around, two pieces of tiger skins on the beam in the middle of the room, many guns, knives, forks and sticks stuck in the pots at the bottom of the wall, and two in the middle. Taishi chair.

Boqin originally wanted to invite Tang Seng to sit down.

It's just that Tang Seng saw the ferocity of the land, and there seemed to be evil souls screaming on the swords, guns, swords and halberds, and there was a burst of gloom, so he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he left the grass pavilion.

At some point, a few deer came to Tang Seng's side, they didn't feel scared at all, they blinked their eyes and looked at him curiously.

Seeing this, Tang Seng couldn't help but feel delighted, and looked at Boqin who was beside him and said, "I'm afraid this deer was raised by the Taibao."

Boqin glanced at it, and explained to Tang Seng carefully.

This deer is indeed too well maintained, but it is not raised in captivity, it is free range.Now these three are playmates of Da Zhuang, Brother Mao, Zhu Zi, and Xiao Ya.

Hearing Boqin's tone, he felt that if it wasn't for the inaccuracy of his own children, these deer would have already become a meal on the plate, a dish on the table.

"Besides, these deer run around like this every day, and they don't have much meat. They can't be carried or plowed. They are not as good as pigs (pigs) in the pen. If they are raised for a year or so, they can be boiled for a year. oil and water..."

The two of you talked to each other, talking and talking, it was getting late.

So while the sky was still dark, I went back to the hall in the front yard to rest.

In the mountains at night, there are insects singing everywhere, and the sound of wolves howling and tigers howling in the distance can be heard from time to time.

Tang Seng tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, thinking that the Bodhisattva said that the journey to learn scriptures of one hundred and eight thousand miles had gone through so many days, and even less than one thousand miles away, he couldn't help but feel depressed.

Exactly: I can't sleep at night without a light in a humble house, and my troubled heart turns desolate.Hakka tonight thinks about thousands of miles, and it is difficult for people who go west to Lingshan to return.

Tang Seng was physically and mentally exhausted after a day full of fright.Thinking about it, Tang Seng fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Boqin's family got up early.

When Tang Seng got up, Su Zhai's tea and rice were all ready.

Even the sacrificial utensils should be ready.

After dinner, Tang Seng washed his hands with water, and went outside the house with Boqin's old mother.

Tang Monk burned incense and burned incense to worship.

After entering the middle room, he knocked on the wooden fish, uttered mantras to purify his mouth karma, and recited a mantra to purify his body and mind.

Later, he recited a volume of "The Book of the Dead".

Seeing the change in Boqin's mother's expression, Tang Seng seemed to have found the feeling, and finally felt that he was no longer such a useless person.

The chanting of the scriptures has become a chanting, and the whole Buddha's voice is curling up.

An illusory light wheel rose from the back of Tang Seng's head, illuminating all directions.

After the recitation, Tang Seng was still full of ideas, so I asked Naboqin to write a recommendation.

He began to sing and recite the "Diamond Sutra", "Avalokitesvara Sutra", "Lotus Sutra", "Amitabha Sutra" and other scriptures.

After reciting a few volumes each, they recited another volume of "The King of Peacock King Sutra".

From morning to night, there is almost no rest.

After offering all kinds of incense, and burning a large pile of ghost coins, as well as various hand-made paper figures, paper horses, and books of recommended death, the Buddhist affairs are considered to have come to an end.

It was getting late, after dinner, Tang Seng, who had been busy all day, fell into bed and fell asleep.

But it is said that the soul of Na Boqin's father, after such a transcendence by Tang Seng, was relieved of his sins, escaped from hell, and was able to be reborn.

That night, I entrusted Boqin with a dream: "The butcher Orion, with his hands stained with karma, will go to the Knife Mountain Hell once he enters the underworld. Old man, I have experienced all kinds of hardships in that Knife Mountain Hell. Survival. Fortunately, the holy monk has surpassed me. With the great merit and magic power, my sins have been eliminated, and I have just escaped from the mountain of swords. The king of hell sent me to the rich land of Shenzhou to reincarnate. The old man has no way to repay the holy monk. De, you have to thank the elder and don't be negligent. This matter is over, the old man will go!"

One dream one night, one night one dream.

At dawn, everyone got up early, only to hear Mrs. Boqin say: "Taibao, I dreamed of my father-in-law last night, saying that he escaped from the knife mountain hell and joined a wealthy family. No answer, I can't keep it. I just woke up and found that it was nothing but Huangliang Yimenger."

Boqin was startled when he heard this, and said, "I also had a dream last night, just like you..."

The old mother of Boqin who was at the side couldn't help but excitedly said: "The old man has escaped from his sins, and it is all due to the merits of a holy monk. Amitabha, Buddha bless you."

Tang Seng got up and found that the Boqin family was having a family meeting, and nodded when he saw Boqin's old mother looking over.

He took out the washing utensils and was about to wash up, but saw Naboqin's old mother walking over tremblingly.

"The old lady has something to say."

No matter how low his EQ was, Tang Seng felt the excitement that he hesitated to speak.

'Could it be that the ritual was not done well, and the master came to settle accounts with me? '

Immediately, he put away the toiletries with a serious face, and looked at Bo Qin's mother.

But I heard that Boqin's mother laughed and said: "Holy monk, I dreamed last night that the old man got rid of his sins and was reincarnated, so I came here to thank the holy monk. My son and daughter-in-law can do this." It’s a dream, I think it’s true and there will be no fakes. There is no one in my family who can repay the kindness of re-creation. It’s better to set up a monument of longevity for the holy monk as a thank you. It must be worshiped by future generations. There must be no mistakes .”

Hearing this, Tang Seng was startled, and hurriedly shouted: "If you don't want it, if you don't want it, isn't this a bad monk? Brother Boqin saved my life, and I will repay it to the old man. This is cause and effect. There is no reason to save me. Why? It is the fruit of detachment. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to erect any longevity monument."

After finishing speaking, I still don’t forget to say a few words in a low voice, “Amitabha, sin, sin!”

This stele of longevity is not something anyone can stand, even Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty does not have a stele of longevity. Tang Seng does not think that his achievements are higher than that of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, if the old man is really detached, then Bochin's life-saving grace is gone.Another longevity monument, wouldn't it be another karma.

Buddhism puts the most emphasis on cause and effect, and so does Tang Seng.

Seeing Tang Seng's rejection in every possible way, the old woman couldn't help shaking her head regretfully.

But another idea popped up in my heart...

She smiled and said, "It's old Meng Lang..."

But in his heart, he thought that when Tang Seng left, he would instruct Boqin to make a tablet without words, engrave only Tang Seng's kindness and nothing else, and use it as a monument of longevity for future generations to enshrine.

Tang Seng didn't know what the old woman was thinking, and thought he had given up, so he chanted 'Amitabha'.Seeing the old lady leave, he continued to wash.

But Tang Seng was thinking about his merits of saving the dead.

In my heart, I am more looking forward to the legendary Mahayana teaching method of crossing people and self, and I am more motivated.

After getting a new skill, Tang Seng wished that there were all undead in front of him. If it was transformed, how much merit would it have.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but murmured: "Don't forget your homework, you eater."

After washing up and having a fast meal, Tang Seng was about to bid farewell to Boqin's family.

Boqin's persuasion was fruitless, so he had to send a tael of silver.

This tael of silver can only be exchanged for Bo Qin with a jungle lord, the king of beasts, enough to buy about [-] catties of rice grain.

There are six members of Boqin's family, enough food for more than half a year.

Tang Seng directly evaded the two taels of silver and said: "If the Taibao can give the poor monk a ride, it will make the poor monk more happy than this silver."

Boqin and his old mother had no choice but to keep Tang Seng temporarily, and hurriedly made some big cakes and coarse grains.

Tang Seng accepted it happily, at least he would not have to starve for the rest of the journey.

The old woman asked Boqin to send Tang Seng off, and Boqin accepted the order gladly. He called a child, brought equipment, and went on the road with Tang Seng.
