Tang's dining table

As usual, Master Xuanzang still only had Naha and Yu Xiurong in his eyes. He even nodded and smiled when Mrs. Cui saluted him.

He was even more happy to see the two children who had to walk too steadily.

As for Yunchu and Old Monkey, Master Xuanzang seemed not to have seen them.

Yun Chu had already adapted to this reaction, and at the same time, the old monkey was also very adaptable.

In his view, a monk giving birth to a son was not a glorious and good thing after all.

The old monkey understood Xuanzang's mood very well, but Yunchu couldn't understand it. He had always looked forward to having a heart-to-heart talk with Master Xuanzang, but to this day, the old monk still did not give him this chance.

Yunchu felt that the fact that he suddenly came to the Tang Dynasty from that world could not be explained clearly using Buddhist teachings.

Using Einstein's theory may explain it more thoroughly.

Yun Chu took a look at the place where the old monk stopped. There was an alms bowl and a brush on the ground. There were green aphids squirming in the alms bowl. There were a lot of them. It looked like the old monk was hiding in the cotton field just now. It is the activity of brushing aphids off cotton with a brush.

Yunchu felt that what the old monk did was really stupid.

The cotton fields stretch as far as the eye can see, and there are countless aphids. How many cotton seedlings can one person save in one day?

The old monkey will usually become younger when he sees Xuanzang. In any case, Xuanzang is his master, and he has no reason to think of himself as an old man in front of his master.

There were other monks in the cotton fields, and they were doing the same thing as Xuanzang was doing.

However, because they always have to practice the silent chant that can never be accomplished, when Yun Chu greeted them, they just smiled and nodded, and their smiles were full of compassionate fake smiles.

Yun Chu always likes to pick out the evil in a beautiful thing. He doubts everything because his education tells him that he must do this.

Yunchu is a descendant of a team that has emerged from hardships, climbed out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, experienced the cruelest betrayal, the most painful mistakes, and finally moved towards the light.

Doubting everything and insisting on walking his own path is the most unwavering belief in his heart.

This belief cannot be bought by Li Zhi's imperial power, nor can it be influenced by Xuanzang's Buddhist teachings, nor can it be redeemed by the Taoism of the old gods.

He has his own beliefs.

Naturally, the aphids that Xuanzang brushed off with a brush could not be killed, because the monks did not kill animals.

Naturally, the aphids cannot be placed elsewhere, so the monks' efforts will be in vain.

The other monks poured all the aphids in their alms bowls into the alms bowl in Yunchu's hand.

As a result, Yunchu got a bowl full of aphids.

After returning to Qiyun Temple with the alms bowl in hand, Xuanzang was sitting on the edge of the pool, soaking his feet in the water, talking to Naha. He didn't know what Naha was talking about, but Xuanzang was very happy to hear it.

The old monkey looked at Xuanzang and said to Yunchu, "Have you figured out how to deal with this bowl full of aphids?"

Yun Chu said: "I haven't thought about it. I'm going to wait and see what happens. After all, these aphids were caught by the monks. If they die, the blame should be on the monks. It's none of my business."

The old monkey whispered: "When I traveled with Master Xuanzang in the Gobi Desert, Master Xuanzang never killed anyone."

After speaking, he smiled mysteriously at Yun Chu.

Yunchu found a piece of wet cloth, covered the alms bowl, and placed the alms bowl on the window sill to see whether the aphids would survive.

That's right, this is Yun Chu's way of coping, because monks and Taoist priests have some similarities in some principles, such as-resign yourself to fate.

Changing one's destiny against nature is something that Confucianism only pays attention to. All religions in the world have the idea of ​​resigning oneself to fate. Therefore, many religious figures behave extremely calmly when facing death.

Yunchu hoped that the aphids in this alms bowl that had been baptized by Buddhism could do the same.

There was a cool breeze blowing in Qiyun Temple, and the persimmon trees blocked most of the sunlight. Yun Chu lay on his back on a bamboo bed and discovered that the persimmon trees were in bloom.

The persimmon flower is very simple and unpretentious, with no stunning appearance. It is just a string of small light yellow flowers. It is hidden among the leaves. From a distance, you can see the leaves and branches, but you can't see clearly what it looks like, let alone I want to smell the real fragrance of flowers.

Therefore, the persimmon flowers are very boring, not fragrant, and the flowers are not beautiful. Even so, they still hide their bodies behind the thick leaves.

Yu Xiurong took the whole family to Qiyun Temple. The old monkey was wrapped in a pile of furs and fell asleep again. Naturally, Yun Chu was also ready to have a deep sleep.

"Master Mingshan, can you speak?"

"Ah, the mouth is on the face just for talking. Why do you have to practice silent meditation?"

"Would you like some wine? I even went to Guangfufang to bring you some dog meat. I heard it's braised in soy sauce. This is your favorite thing."

Even though there was a thick and high wall, Naha's voice of tricking the monks into breaking the precepts still came through tenaciously.

This time the monks seemed to be very determined. Even though they were separated by a wall, Yunchu could imagine that Master Mingshan was facing Naha with a kind smile.

The life of the monks in Shaolin Temple is very difficult. Since they are deep in the mountains, there is very little alms. It is said that they only have more than 1,000 acres of land under the mountains to maintain their livelihood.

Because it is a poor temple with no tenants, many monks have to farm while worshiping Buddha and practicing Buddhism.

I heard that Naha spent a lot of money to the Shaolin Temple, so that Wei Tuo at the gate of the Shaolin Temple would change his Wei Tuo pestle from being on the ground to hanging it on his arm.

It is for this reason that the monks of Shaolin Temple are willing to continue to be stationed in Qiyun Temple.

Thinking of this, Yun Chu couldn't help but think of the great monk of the Shaolin Temple in his time. Speaking of it, he was really good. He turned the Shaolin Temple into a big company, but there were no Buddhist practitioners.

The next day, Yunchu opened the dry linen cloth on the alms bowl and took a look. Most of the aphids inside were alive, but of course there were also many dead ones.

Yun Chu sprayed some water on the linen cloth and continued to cover it on the alms bowl. He waited expectantly for all the aphids inside to die.

Through Naha Yunchu told Master Xuanzang that many of the aphids he caught were dead, but Naha did not bring back Master Xuanzang's answer.

Naha said that Master Xuanzang just laughed silently.

After completing the task given by her brother perfunctorily, Naha took Li Si, Yun Jin and brother and sister carrying a basket to continue to seduce the monks in the Shaolin Temple to break the precepts.

The monks in the Shaolin Temple are allowed to eat meat and drink alcohol. Naha also knows this, but she just likes to bring wine and meat to lure those monks into violating the precepts.

Sometimes, Yunchu really didn't know if Naha was feeding the monks or if she really had some strange thoughts.

Ever since she was pregnant with the child, Yu Xiurong refused to sleep in the shade in the yard. According to her, the child in her belly was a serious child and would not dare to sleep outside and be hit by some strange things.

She has a basis for saying this. The concubine named Chunyu who was brought out of prison by Li Yifu and claimed to be able to read oracle bones gave birth to a child when Li Yifu went to Hebei Province to serve as the deposed ambassador.

This kid actually has a tail!

Although it has been a year since Li Yifu went to Hebei Province, Chunyu gave birth to a child belonging to Li Yifu just three days ago. This is very exaggerated.

However, Li Yifu insisted on saying that it was "caused by deep love!" Others had no choice but to say anything else.

After all, the origin of this child is so amazing. When he was born, he had a tail that was half a foot long.

Night time is Yu Xiurong's favorite time. At this time, she can lean in her husband's arms, and the two of them whisper gossip that is not common to outsiders.

"Did your husband miss me when he was in Liaodong?" Yu Xiurong raised a leg and put it on Yun Chu's waist and whispered.

"I think about it, especially when I sleep in the mud, I just want to hold your warm body and sleep."

"Didn't you do anything else?"

"It's not easy to do anything else. In Liaodong, I often sleep surrounded by my colleagues."

"No wonder I'm not pregnant. It turns out that's the case."

"If you get pregnant while I'm away, do you believe I can light a fire in the house?"

"Hehehe...Li Yifu can do it...hahaha."

Seeing Yu Xiurong rolling around on the bed with a smile, Yun Chu was unwilling to continue saying these hooligan words in Qiyun Temple.

Seeing the bright moon outside the window shining the earth like daylight, he got up and went to the yard, and opened the wet cloth covering the alms bowl in the moonlight.

As soon as the wet cloth was lifted, a group of flying insects with wings soared out of the alms bowl. The color of these insects could not be seen clearly. Each one was illuminated by the moonlight and turned white. Their wings were even more transparent and cute.

Watching these bugs soar into the sky, hovering near the window for a moment, then they all flew towards the bright moon in the sky.

A small cluster formed in the night sky, and it kept getting higher and higher, and finally flew over the high wall to the Qiyun Temple next door.

Yunchu looked at the remaining half bowl of dead aphids in the alms bowl, jumped up, grabbed the top of the wall, and climbed up the high wall with one force of his arms.

In the pavilion on the other side of the high wall, Xuanzang was copying scriptures. Above the pavilion, an extremely bright whale oil candle lamp was lit.

Those small flying insects that had just flown over from Yunchu were now gathering around the candle lamp, eager to break through the lampshade and have an intimate contact with the flame.

Xuanzang put down the brush in his hand, turned to look at Yunchu and said, "Do you understand now?"

Yunchu looked at Master Xuanzang and sighed: "Thank you Master for teaching me how to get rid of aphids next time."

Master Xuanzang laughed and said, "You know that's not what I'm talking about."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Master, whatever you want to know, I will tell you everything you know."

Master Xuanzang said: "Have you already figured out how to lie to me?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I don't dare."

Master Xuanzang waved his sleeves and said: "Evil demons and heretics, go and rest, go and rest."
