[Comprehensive martial arts] Holy Monk

Early in the morning, the weather was very sunny.

Fang Tianzhi went to the ground to water the vegetables, and picked up the hoe to dig out two acres of land. Then he drank three bowls of vegetable porridge, counted out half a dime to put in his sleeve, put on his bag and went down the mountain.

Wushang was the same as him, with a bundle of steamed buns on his back, a cowhide water bag and a pickle tube around his waist, and a pair of brand new straw sandals hanging around his neck, ready to wear them after the pair on his feet were worn out.The two walked unhurriedly on the road, and neither of them spoke for a while. Wushang was a child who slept too much and was a little sleepy, while Fang Tianzhi was thinking about big problems with his sleeves folded——

Since he came back from the lotus treasure, he lived in the mountains for several months, and he hasn't done good deeds for a long time.

But with such a passive sabotage, why has his reputation been soaring?

In the first one or two months, the rise was not outrageous, and it can only be said that there was a slight profit, but in the past month or so, the rise has become more and more severe, almost like a tide on the Qiantang River.After Fang Tianzhi thought about it, he could only guess that the story of the treasure of the lotus had spread, but Chu Liuxiang's personality made it impossible for him to spread it everywhere. Could it be that Bai Yujing's people spread it by themselves?

What kind of magical operation is this?

After thinking like this for a while, Fang Tian couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

He had already discovered a fact when he relied on the sky to slay the dragon.If you want to be famous all over the world, it is more cost-effective to help people in the world than to help ordinary people.People in the rivers and lakes are running around. If you help them in Huguang today, maybe next year his friends in Shaanxi and Gansu will know about it; Doing them a small favor, what is it worth promoting?

Maybe it's different in different worlds. Compared with relying on the sky and slaying dragons, legendary experiences in this place are more likely to make people famous everywhere, but Fang Tianzhi still has no intention of doing anything deliberately, but he just goes to give a helping hand to anyone who needs him in front of him.

He wants to be reincarnated to be a man, but he also wants to atone for his sins.

If doing good deeds is to atone for his sins, how can he be harsh and pick and divide them into different grades?

After walking for half a day, the two entered a tea shop in Taiping Town, ordered two bowls of crushed tea foam, and ate corn-bread pickles to fill their stomachs.After dinner, Fang Tianzhi saw that Wushang's little face was flushed from the sun, and he seemed a little dizzy, so he said: "You rest here, and I will come to you later in the afternoon before leaving."

Wushang tied the stakes, sat and sipped tea, heard the words: "...Compared to practicing stakes, I would rather walk outside."

Fang Tianzhi didn't understand, and just said: "You really don't want to hide from the sun in the house? Although the spring is not strong, you have rarely suffered such hardships. After passing this town, if you don't see the villages and towns in the next few days, you can There is nowhere to hide.”

Wushang said: "If I am here, where are you going?"

Fang Tianzhi said: "If you don't want to go anywhere, just walk around the street. If you see someone in trouble, go and help him. If you don't see anything, let's continue on our way."

Wushang hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "This town is not too small. If you really want to help people here, you won't be able to leave for a year or so."

Fang Tianzhi didn't blame him for asking too much, but said happily: "You are quite right. That's why my master and apprentice traveled down the mountain, and wherever we went, we talked about randomness. If you see it, you can help it. If you don't see it, you don't need to look for it." Looking for it. It’s difficult for others, but you don’t have to find a way to buy it for others even if they lack meat for lunch. The Central Plains are thousands of miles away. I wait for the time to come and go. If one day If you are tired from walking, then go home."

Wushang looked at him and asked, "Then where are we going?"

Fang Tianzhi smiled when he heard this.

His back was facing the shop door of the restaurant, the wind rolled the curtains, and a ray of sunlight lightly fell on his shoulders.While smiling slightly, he fastened the new shoe soles hanging on his shoulders into a pair, pinned them to the belt of his trousers, and said, "I don't know where I'm going either. Where do you want to go?"

Wushang said: "I don't know." He was silent for a long time, then said slowly, "I have never been anywhere on our mountain other than the mansion."

Fang Tianzhi looked at him gently and said, "It's okay if you haven't been there before. Now we can go wherever you want. You can go wherever you want."

Wushang looked at him for a long while, looking at him, and looking forward to it, as if he was trying to prove something.After a long while, he seemed to be sure that he was right, and slowly laughed.

There was an unnatural shyness in his smile, but it was more natural than ever before.

Fang Tianzhi didn't laugh at him, nor did he tease him, as if his smile was the same as usual, and asked naturally: "Then, have you decided where to go?"

Wushang said: "I want to see the sea. I was born by the sea, so I shouldn't know what the sea looks like."

So a few days later, the two were already floating in the sea.

Fang Tianzhi didn't have much money on him, so the passenger ship the two of them took was not a good one.But even on this fishy shattered ship, Wushang was standing in front of the bow pole, and he could still see the place where the sky fell, a piece of azure blue sea dipped in red sun, surrounded by red clouds rolling in, and turned into oars The next torrent of froth and white waves surged away gently.

He looked at it for a long time before turning around and looking up at Fang Tianzhi.

Fang Tianzhi stood in the wind a short distance behind him, holding a long string of Buddhist beads fluttering slightly in his hand, looking at the sea.As soon as Wushang's bald gourd moved, he immediately felt something, looked down at him, and smiled slightly: "Looking at this kind of scenery from a distance, is it not in vain?"

Wushang said: "Forget it!"

Fang Tianzhi patted him on the shoulder, and said, "When looking at the scenery, you don't have to stride."

Hearing the words, Wushang let out an "oh", then calmly withdrew his skills and asked, "Stay on the boat today, can you still punch?"

Fang Tianzhi said: "The boat is crowded, don't disturb others. It won't be too late to fight when you get on the shore, just meditate at night."

This ship is not big, and it also carries poor guests.

The ship is divided into two layers. The upper layer only has a separate cabin for the owner, while the lower layer is used to accommodate guests and sailors. Naturally, there are no exquisite passenger cabins. Everyone is squeezed into the bunk cabin, and each person sleeps on only one bed.

It's not time to go to bed, so no one wants to count bedbugs in a dark, stuffy cabin.Therefore, except for the working sailors, all the guests were sitting on the deck watching the scenery.

Fang Tianzhi, master and apprentice, talked as if no one else was there, while the other three guests were extremely bored, so they couldn't help but peek a few times, but they didn't dare to speak to them.One of the thin old women was sitting alone by the cabin door with a bundle in her hands, when the curtain of the door suddenly moved, a shirtless sailor poked his head out and said with a smile: "The master ordered the crew to start, and the guests are invited to dinner."

The cheap food on a cheap passenger ship will naturally not be very delicious.

The sailor put a bucket of bean rice, a pot of crystal clear shrimp and rice soup, a few grilled salted mackerel, a bowl of steamed shrimp paste, and a jar of pickled vegetables on a long board table.Although these are not very good dishes, they at least have a fishy smell, which can barely be considered meaty.Meals are not included in the ticket, and those who want to eat have to pay in advance. A group of five guests stretched their heads to look at the table, and three of them retracted their heads immediately, only two of them were willing to pay for the meal.

Fang Tianzhi lifted the lid of the pickle bucket, and was considering whether to ask the captain to warm up the steamed buns, when he caught a glimpse of Wushang from the corner of his eye.

Wushang's face was as usual, with only the tip of his nose slightly raised, and his two round eyes fixed on the salted mackerel on the table, as if he was smelling it.

He was originally a son of a family, even if he pretended to be crazy and was always neglected, he would not miss a bite of food in Lin Wangsun's mansion.

Lin Wangsun Ruoquan knew it well, but he probably never imagined that the son of his majestic Marquis would be greedy like this by two stinky mackerel.

Wushang suddenly noticed Fang Tianzhi's gaze, glanced back at him warily, and immediately lowered his head to look for cornbread in the bag.

Fang Tianzhi looked at him, and suddenly said: "Do you want to eat?"

Wushang said: "I don't want to."

Fang Tianzhi said: "Since you want to eat, just tell me the truth. Why are you duplicity?"

Wushang glanced at him again, as if very puzzled: "I told you to become a monk with you. I want to be a vegetarian."

Fang Tianzhi smiled and said: "Who said that monks must be vegetarians? Good monks are vegetarians, but bad monks still eat meat and drink alcohol. If you want to eat meat, go ahead and eat it. I won't blame you. "

Wushang was stunned, and after a while he said: "You...you...you won't blame me for not being a good monk?"

Fang Tianzhi broke half of the cornbread, poured pickles on it, and said, "I personally like to be a well-behaved monk, but I don't necessarily force my apprentices to be like me. It's just that I don't abide by the rules and precepts. Not being a good monk has its own dangers." What's the matter? Why should I blame you if it doesn't matter?"

Wushang stared at him silently for a long while, then suddenly asked: "Then what is important? What happened to me, you will blame me?"

Fang Tianzhi bit his cornbread, glanced at the sparkling red waves on the sea from a distance, thought of what to say after chewing, and said in a harmonious voice: "There is nothing that people have to do when they live in this world. Do you like it?" Work diligently, be diligent, be lazy if you like to be lazy, be an official if you are willing to be an official, farm land if you are willing to farm, no matter whether you do it well or badly, no one cares. But there is only one thing that must be done , that is to be a good person.”

He focused on Wushang seriously, and said: "Being a monk is also a principle. You don't have to be a monk, and you don't have to be a monk to do well. A good person is not necessarily a good person, and a bad monk is not necessarily a bad person. You As long as he is a good person, what does it matter if he is a good monk or not?"

Wushang listened in silence with no expression on his face, and asked again: "Then how can you be considered a good person? Do you do good deeds as much as you do?"

Fang Tianzhi said: "No. Those who do good deeds are not necessarily good people." He was in a trance for a moment, as if recalling the past.After a while, I slowly opened my mouth again, "If you want me to say, if you don't hurt others to benefit yourself, if you don't help the tyrant, you are abusive, if you are a firm and unwavering person, then you are a good person... If she can always be compassionate and tolerant to others in her heart... , that's a great man."

Hearing his gentle tone, Wushang couldn't help but startled for a moment, but still puzzled and said solemnly: "Is it because someone treats me badly, and I have to pity him and tolerate him?"

Fang Tianzhi smiled and said: "How many people can do such a remarkable thing? I just hope you don't hate that person too much, that's enough."

Wushang asked: "Why?"

Fang Tianzhi said: "Because if a person resents too much, he must have a hard time in his heart. People who have a hard time in their hearts often have a hard life. No matter who you resent too much, the saddest person is always yourself. Why not treat yourself How about better?"

Wushang said coldly: "If I'm having a hard time, as long as I get revenge ten times and a hundred times, and get rid of the hatred, naturally I won't have a hard time."

Fang Tianzhi smiled slightly, and sighed softly: "Then you are always creating new resentment. How can the person who caused the resentment not be surrounded by many resentments? How can he really feel better?" He looked over again Sprinkling the afterglow of the sea, "How short a person's life is! Looking back after decades, it's like snapping your fingers... Why don't you let the happiness in your heart be more and the resentment less?"

Wushang was still as usual, neither saying yes nor bad.

Fang Tianzhi took another bite of the steamed bread and asked, "Then do you want to eat mackerel now?"

Wushang was silent for a while, and said: "Think!"

Fang Tianzhi nodded, looked up at the pockmarked sailor who was serving beans and rice by the table, and said, "Thank you, benefactor, let this child eat with me."

The pockmarked sailor took a look and saw that the two were monks, he grinned and said, "There are only pickles on this table that are vegetarian, and the monk spends money to eat, so don't you think it's too much?"

Fang Tianzhi smiled and said, "So what if you lose? So what if you don't lose?"

The pock-marked sailor didn't care too much, and said: "Okay, as long as you pay the money, no matter who you are, you can eat!"

Fang Tianzhi was about to count out some big money, but he heard a friendly voice not far from him saying: "Wait a minute. Master, I have invited you to this meal."
