The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 805 Three Clean Meats?Violate the commandment to kill?
"It doesn't seem as evil as the old man said?"

When Mo Laosan stepped into the range of the Earth Temple, he did not encounter the "ghost hitting the wall" that the townspeople said.

Not only that, Mo Laosan found that his journey was surprisingly smooth, as if all the abnormalities of the previous days did not exist at all.

However, Mo Laosan did not relax his vigilance because of this, but frowned.

Because it wasn't until he approached the Earth Temple that Mo Laosan was surprised to find that the sound of chanting scriptures that used to sound in the past seemed to have disappeared.

"Has the mage left here?"

He lowered his head uncertainly, but Mo Laosan didn't find any clues.

You know, although Mo Laosan is a person with three deficiencies and five disadvantages, and is often regarded as the lone star of the gods by the townspeople, he has never given up on himself.

In addition to being on the watch on weekdays, Mo Laosan would also take the initiative to learn some basic investigative methods from the Yamen's police.

After a long time, even the county governor of the county government knew that Mo Laosan of Yongle Town had a unique skill in investigation.

"Should I still go in?"

Standing hesitantly at the gate of the Earth Temple, Mo Laosan looked at the dark hall and couldn't help hesitating.

Although I learned from the mayor that the mage is most likely exorcising evil and will not hurt himself.

But I can't stand it, since it is an exorcism, there is a possibility that the exorcism will fail.

In case that mage fails to exorcise the evil spirits, wouldn't it mean that if I go in now, it will be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?

"That's all! After all, someone wants to go in!"

Thinking of the mayor's care for him in the past, Mo Laosan gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, then stepped into the earth temple.

"what?"

However, to Mo Laosan's surprise, when he entered the Earth Temple, he didn't see anything unusual.

Even Mo Laosan, the wandering monk who used to sit in front of the statue and chant scriptures, didn't see each other's shadow.

"Really left?"

I don't know whether it's surprise or regret, Mo Laosan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"leave?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Mo Laosan.

"Are you looking for me?"

Startled by the sudden sound, Mo Laosan, who was so startled that he jumped three feet high, turned his head and saw a monk in monk's robe standing quietly behind him.

And in the hands of this monk, there is still a bowl of vegetarian food that I don't know where it came from.

"Master, so you didn't leave here!"

Quickly suppressing the fright in his heart, Mo Laosan forced a smile and said.

"Are you here for alms?"

Hearing Mo Laosan's words, the monk...or Pei Wende nodded.

"If you don't consider the mood of the master, I am indeed here by begging."

The corner of his mouth slightly raised a faint smile, Pei Wende didn't like to beg for food with empty hands.

Therefore, his so-called "begging" along the way was actually paid to help certain wealthy families adjust their Feng Shui and drive away evil spirits.

Because of Pei Wende's usual brutal way of exorcising evil spirits, those wealthy families might have indeed benefited, but they definitely weren't in a good mood.

Among other things, no family likes to be questioned by outsiders, and to rediscover some "family affairs" that have been deliberately forgotten in the past.

However, Pei Wende's luck is so outrageous, almost every family hides some shady past.

After a long time, even Pei Wende himself got used to this "paid almsgiving" method.

......................................................................................................

A moment later, in the courtyard outside the Earth Temple.

Under Mo Laosan's surprised gaze, Pei Wende quickly set up a bonfire.

Then, in conjunction with not knowing where to take out all kinds of fruits and vegetables, they cooked a pot of mishmash in a short period of time.

Most importantly, Mo Laosan seemed to see some meat in it.

You know, before Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan, although Buddhism also banned meat, meat at that time mostly refers to the five meats of garlic, onion, scallion, leek, and xingqu.

But since Emperor Wu of Liang issued the formal ban, Buddhists all over the world have regarded "no eating meat" as a law that must be obeyed.

After the demise of Nanliang, considering various factors, the successive rulers almost followed this practice.

Since then, the land of the Central Plains has formed the saying that "Buddhist disciples cannot eat meat".

But now, I actually saw the shadow of meat in a monk's meal.

It was inevitable that Mo Laosan would be so surprised.

"Master, are you breaking the precept?"

Resisting the urge to swallow, Mo Laosan asked in a low voice.

As a townsman at the foot of Chang'an, Mo Laosan knows very well what it means for a monk to break the precept.

At the least, the ultimatum will be withdrawn, and at the worst, there will even be a prison sentence...

Mo Laosan asked himself that he and Pei Wende had just met for a short time, and this broke the fact that the other party had broken the ring, so the fate seemed to be predictable?
"It's so rare, how can you get strength if you don't eat meat?"

Disdainfully glanced at Mo Laosan, but Pei Wende didn't care about the other party's fear at all.

"Besides, you only know that Buddhism prohibits eating meat, but have you ever heard the saying of 'three clean meats'?"

"I don't see killing, I don't hear killing, I don't kill for myself..."

"Such meat can be eaten by monks all over the world."

Hearing what Pei Wende said, Mo Laosan felt relieved.

"It turns out that this is the three clean meat! It's so rare and strange for a kid!"

He glanced at Mo Laosan again, only to hear Pei Wende continue to speak with a slight smile.

"I just told you that there is a saying of 'three clean meats' in this world, who told you that what is in the pot is 'three clean meats'?"

As soon as this remark came out, Mo Laosan immediately froze in place, unable to recover for a long time.

"Master, stop teasing the kid."

It wasn't until the smell of meat in the pot spread that Mo Laosan murmured bitterly.

He is now very sure that Pei Wende's remarks just now are definitely teasing himself.

"Tsk, who teased you? What I said is the truth."

Gently stirring the food in the pot, Pei Wende spoke again with a look of contempt.

"Don't see the killing? Don't hear the killing? Don't kill yourself?"

"Meat is meat, and meat is not meat just because of different sources and sources."

"The so-called 'three clean meats' can only deceive laymen, not even yourself."

After a slight pause in tone, Pei Wende continued to speak.

"I'm not one of those hypocrites who practice Buddhism and become elm-headed..."

"If I don't eat meat, where do I have the strength to subdue demons?"

"If I don't eat meat, where do I have the strength to travel thousands of miles?"

"Don't talk about eating meat. In order to subdue demons, I even violated the precept of killing, and I haven't seen anyone say that I am not a monk?"

"On the contrary, among those arrogant demons and ghosts, which one of them can't obediently call me 'Fahai Zen Master' when they see me?"

It has to be said that Pei Wende's remarks directly broke Mo Laosan's three views.

Especially the sentence "I have even violated the commandment to kill", it made Mo Laosan tremble, and he dared not say a word of unnecessary nonsense.
