The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

After Founder listened, there was an urge to give himself two big mouths, wasn't it all right to find something? It feels like I dug a pit I didn't have, and then I forgot where to dig, maybe I'll drop it someday ...

Fang Zheng smiled bitterly. If it happened, then it would happen. It cannot be reversed anyway. Moreover, Founder was elusive, and he would probably not touch this pit.

Since the system doesn't care much about his thoughts on eating, Founder is naturally happy.

In the evening, the sun gradually tilted westward, from a dazzling fireball to a round of oranges. At the same time, a silver-white round moon to the east appeared in the air.

Founder was standing on the edge of a cliff, watching the sunset and watching Yuesheng, and letting the evening wind blow the monk's clothes hunting and hunting, as if flying at any time with the wind. People who don't know, really think this is a fairy.

"Master, it ’s weird. Did n’t the previous moon rise from the west? Why did it rise from the east this time?" Since the beginning of his spiritual wisdom, monkeys have become more and more accustomed to thinking and observing this. The world.

Fang Zheng looked at the moon in the distance with his hands on his back: "That's because you have never carefully observed the moon's trajectory. In fact, the moon's trajectory is not as constant as the sun's rising and falling. The phases of the moon change periodically. Generally, On the first day of the first lunar calendar, the moon appeared between the sun and the earth, and the back of the moon was darkly facing the earth, so the moon could not be seen on the earth. This day is called Shuo.

One or two days after Shuo, in the evening the crescent-shaped eyebrow moon appeared in the western sky, protruding toward the setting sun. At this time, the moon rises in the west and falls in the east.

In the future, the position of the moon will gradually move eastward relative to the sun, and the bright part will gradually expand. After five or six days, it will become a bright and dark half moon, and the western half will be a "winding moon", which is directly south of the observer at sunset.

Seven days later, around the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the full moon is reached, which is today. At this time, changes occurred due to the moon's rotation around the earth and the rotation of the earth. At sunset, the sun is in the west and the full moon is in the east, which means that the west rises and the east sets.

The east rises and the west falls, the west rises and the east falls, endlessly reciprocating. "

"Uh, there's so much to say? What about the full moon? What about the half moon after the full moon?" The monkey asked curiously.

Fang Zheng laughed: "When it's okay, look at your cell phone with your younger brother and don't know how to check it directly. After the full moon, the western part of the moon is becoming increasingly scarce. The second quarter moon rises in the middle of the night. After the second quarter moon, the moon continues to be deficient, becoming a residual moon hanging in the eastern sky before dawn. The position of the residual moon in the sky is getting closer to the sun, and the bright part is getting more Less, finally turned to the same direction as the sun, and the moon was all darkened, and Shuo came again. This is also a cycle ... "

"It's a magical feeling ..." The monkey scratched his head. He had read the theory of the earth, moon, and sun before, so he understood it.

But some people don't understand.

The squirrel pulled Fang Zheng's ears curiously and asked, "Master, what you said is weird. The moon and the sun are in the sky. Will they bump into each other when they are together?"

Founder directly placed the squirrel on the monkey's shoulder and said, "Jingzhen, you tell Jinguan well, why the sun and the moon can't hit."

In the face of this curious baby squirrel, Founder directly chose to surrender. This little thing is full every day, just go out to find food, then come back and continue to eat, sleep when you are tired, eat when you wake up ... Basically the things in the brain are not much useful, explain to him the sun and the moon, he is sure He will also ask questions about the universe ... Going down one by one, Founder estimates that it is time to stew the squirrel.

In addition, the villagers also came. The tables and chairs were set up, and the women began to put on the plates. The men put on the incense, the bragging bragging outside the temple was bullshit, and the children ran all over the place, wow wow, from time to time The sound of two artillery battles, the quiet peak of Yizhishan, was lively.

In the noise, the moon is getting higher and higher, and everyone's interest is getting better and better. Although you can't drink, but this is also the first time that everyone is on the top of the mountain, watching the moon regularly, eating moon cakes, watching the moon, bragging, and hitting bear children ... This little day is even more pleasant.

Although Founder is the landlord, as a monk, he must not be bragging with them and talk to you casually. Anyone who has a question in mind can help answer it. When everyone is OK, Founder quietly leaves the crowd. Sitting in the distance, looking at this lively scene, Fang Zheng's heart was extremely quiet.

"No wonder Master often says that quietness is the quietness in the trouble, hiding in the deep mountains is not pure. Forcibly hiding the quietness but not being able to calm down, beware that the outside world is chaotic and quiet," Fang Zheng muttered.

Just then, a burst of laughter came, and then a group of children screamed and chased the squirrel and ran around the ground. In the end, the squirrel turned into the grass, and a group of bear children began to turn the squirrel in the grass.

After a while, Founder's legs tightened, and the squirrel pulled up the Founder's trousers and climbed up. The master said, "Master, don't say I'm here. These children, they're crazy ... I can't stand it. Run again Going down, I have lost the scales, but I ca n’t reduce the Qiuyu that I managed to raise. ”

Founder also knows that many animals will stick to autumn crickets before entering the winter, that is, eat a lot of high-calorie and high-fat things, fatten themselves, and store a lot of fat energy in the body to maintain the winter. But the squirrel obviously didn't need it. He roasted on the fire this winter, eating hot rice, and still raising Qiuya?

What the Founder thinks, I think this little thing is getting lazy.

Just then Mengmeng came together, and the squirrel hid immediately.

Mengmeng squatted directly on Fangzheng's side, leaning on Fangzheng's legs, like a small **** cat, her eyes narrowed, it seemed a little sleepy. After all, Meng Meng is still young. It ’s not as energetic as those older children. The adults there are talking high in the sky, the sky is loud, the voice is loud, the little guy can't sleep, and he runs to the Founder. The little guy Meng Mengda said, "Brother Fangzheng, Meng Meng is sleepy. Can you tell Meng Meng a story?"

Founder froze and told the story to the child? He didn't even think about it. He looked up at the moon and smiled suddenly, and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you the story of a beautiful sister?"

"Okay, okay ..." Although Mengmeng slaps, her big eyes are closed more.

Founder said: "Meng Meng, do you know why everyone wants to watch the moon at the fifteenth? You know you don't know, it is said that in ancient times there was a very beautiful woman ... Hou Yi shot nine suns ... Chang'e accidentally ate Xiandan Pulling things desperately, she didn't want to fly away, but in the rush, she only caught a rabbit she raised, so she flew to the moon with the rabbit. The ancient woman believed that on the fifteenth day of the first month, the moon was the largest and brightest It is also the closest to the ground. If you pray to the moon, you will be blessed by Chang'e and become as beautiful as Chang'e. So beautiful girls have watched the moon on this day and gradually formed this custom. Mengmeng? "
