Chapter 1836 Misunderstanding
However, what made Wang Lin miscalculate was that in Taoist temples, men and women could not mix together. Male guests had rooms for male guests, and female guests had courtyards for female guests. The distance between the two was quite far!

The dinner they used in the Taoist temple.

The vegetarian meals in Taoist temples are not all vegetarian dishes, but they are mainly vegetarian dishes. There are usually several side dishes and various medicinal wines. Devotees and believers can drink alcohol freely. Taoist priests generally do not drink alcohol, but during festivals, or if everyone wants to drink, You can drink.

Although vegetarian food is vegetarian, it is surprisingly delicious.

Or you are used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas at the foot of the mountain, and you suddenly taste these unique vegetarian dishes, which have a special taste.

That's right, people on the mountain eat vegetarian dishes all day long, so why don't they turn vegetarian vegetables into flowers?

After dinner, Zhou Porridge and Lin Xiaoxiao were assigned to the ladies' guest house, while Wang Lin and Uncle Zhong were assigned to the men's department on the other side of the Taoist temple.

This is a quiet small courtyard with two floors of small buildings, hidden under the mountains and forests. There are trees, pools, and winding paths leading to secluded areas in the courtyard. There are several lovely stone statues of Daotong scattered among the weeds.

A cave door leads to a winding path, surrounded by overgrown grass and wild flowers, and the fragrance is floating and refreshing. The words "quiet and secluded" are enough to describe the characteristics of the scenery in Taoist temples at night.

Without the noise of tourists and the audience gathered together, visitors can quietly enjoy the hazy moonlight alone and feel the fragrance of flowers and plants leisurely.

Wang Lin felt more at ease, and felt that the trip was worthwhile.

From the direction of the main hall came the sound of recitation by the Taoist priests during the evening class. The sound was surprisingly good, even better than the song.

Standing beside Wang Lin, Uncle Zhong saw that he was listening seriously, and said, "They are singing the Jingjing Sutra."

Wang Lin snorted: "Uncle Zhong, do you understand?"

Uncle Zhong said: "I lived with my master on the mountain for a period of time and studied the Jingjing Sutra. The Qingjing Sutra, which is what we often call "Taishang Laojun Says Chang Qingjing Sutra", the full text is only 401 characters. It is Taoism. One of the most important materials for alchemy."

Wang Lindao: "I just think it sounds good, but I really don't understand what words they are singing. Come and listen to it."

Uncle Zhong said: "Madame's mind is so clear, but her heart disturbs her; her heart is so quiet, so she wants to hold her back. You can often release your desires, but your mind will be quiet; you can clear your mind, and your spirit will be clear. Naturally, the six desires do not arise, and the three Eliminate the poison. Therefore, those who can't do it because their hearts have not been cleared up, and their desires have not been sent away..."

"The reason why all living beings do not get the true way is because they have delusional minds; when they have delusional minds, they frighten their gods; when they frighten their gods, they are attached to all things; when they are attached to all things, they are greedy; when they are greedy, they are afflicted; afflicted and delusional, Worrying physically and mentally; being turbid and humiliated, wandering life and death; always sinking into the sea of ​​suffering, never losing the true way. The true and constant way, the enlightened one will find it; the enlightened one will always be peaceful!"

……

While listening to Uncle Zhong's explanation, Wang Lin couldn't help but feel greatly enlightened as he listened to the singing-like chanting.

And his impetuous heart also became calm following this scripture.

"Uncle Zhong, do you understand the reason?" Wang Lin asked slowly.

"I just know how to recite it, but I don't understand the reason." Uncle Zhong replied honestly.

Wang Lindao: "In the classics before the Six Dynasties, there was no word for the sea of ​​bitterness. Later, this word often appeared in many Chinese translations of Buddhist scriptures. Our local teachings, on the contrary, look down on life and death. Lao Zhuang believed that the change of life and death is like the change of cold and summer. Just like the four seasons in the past, if you cry bitterly, you don't understand the principle of the natural changes of the heaven and the earth, and there is no such thing as a sea of ​​suffering or sinking."

Uncle Zhong said: "In this way, the local teachings are far superior to foreign sects."

Wang Lindao: "It should be said that it is more open-minded and detached. However, this true way is not something that everyone can practice, like me, I absolutely can't."

Uncle Zhong said: "Wang Dong, your comprehension is so high, what can't you practice?"

Wang Lin waved his hand and said: "A person who has become a Taoist wants to eliminate the six desires and eliminate the three poisons. I can't do this alone. The six desires refer to the six sense organs, and the six sense organs refer to the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, heart, and mind. , a dyed appearance, a metaphor for love. The three poisons are the three corpses, the upper corpse Pengju, the middle corpse Peng Zan, and the lower corpse Pengjiao. The upper corpse likes decorations, the middle corpse likes taste, and the lower corpse likes lust. If a person can Cut off its decorations, stay away from taste, and cut off its lust, get rid of these three things, and the poison will be eliminated, and after the three poisons are eliminated, the spirit will be as smooth as qi, and it will be naturally peaceful."

Uncle Zhong said: "Wang Dongyingming, you know a lot."

Wang Lindao: "I can't eliminate the six desires, and I can never get rid of the three poisons. Therefore, I can't achieve the Tao. If this is the case, then I will be a vulgar and vulgar layman in the world of mortals!"

Although he couldn't get rid of the three poisons, he didn't have any thoughts about the relationship between men and women at this moment.

The conditions in the Taoist temple are harsh, they sleep on hard wooden beds, and there are no recreational activities at night, even making a phone call is a luxury.

Wang Lin went to bed early.

Listening to the sound of the wind blowing into the pines and the beating of leaves in the bamboo forest, he slept extraordinarily comfortably.

Early in the morning, Wang Lin woke up.

Today is a sunny day, a ray of morning sun shines through the thick fog, shining in the haze, awakening the creatures in the mountains and arousing infinite vitality.For a time, the mountains were filled with the sound of birds coming out of their nests, the sound of swimming fish hitting the water, and the cheerful singing of insects.

In the early morning, the temperature in Luofu Mountain is very low, and a gust of mountain wind blows, which is really cool.

Surrounded by clouds and mist, it is like a fairyland in Penglai, magnificent mountains and rivers, green green hills, climbing high and breathing in the fresh mountain air, the so-called pleasure is nothing more than that.

It's no wonder that some people are willing to give up the bustling and worldly world, willing to give up their beautiful wives and beautiful concubines, and come to this deep mountain to retreat.

What is lost is the three poisons, but what is gained is the essence of heaven and earth, and the righteousness of the person.

Wang Lin left the Taoist temple alone, walked up the mountain, and watched the wonders of thousands of ravines.

There is a beautiful woman in front, it is Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Smile! Good morning!" Wang Lin shouted.

Lin Xiaoxiao turned around and glanced at him: "Morning Wang Dong."

Wang Lin said, "Is Zhou Porridge still sleeping?"

Lin Xiaoxiao stopped and waited for him: "Well, I didn't wake her up."

Wang Lin looked at the peaks and asked, "How high is this mountain?"

Lin smiled and said, "It's about 1300 meters."

Wang Lindao: "That's considered a high mountain. Nanyue Hengshan is only 1300 meters high."

Lin Xiaoxiao asked, "Have you been to Nanyue?"

Wang Lindao: "I went to climb once, I'm so tired!"

Lin Xiaoxiao said: "Climbing the mountain is tiring, but after reaching the top, I feel relaxed and extremely comfortable. I am the peak after climbing the mountain, and the view of the city and countryside is beautiful. The pleasure of the strong wind washing my mind is worth the exhaustion."

Wang Lin laughed loudly: "Let's climb the mountain together someday!"

Lin smiled and said, "Can't you do it today?"

Wang Lindao: "Aren't you going to attend the blessing meeting?"

Lin smiled and said, "Oh, yes! If you have time in the afternoon, would you like to climb to the top of the mountain together?"

Wang Lindao: "It will take at least four hours to climb, right? It will take two to three hours to get down, I'm afraid it will be too late."

The two talked and laughed as they walked forward, and returned to the Taoist temple to have breakfast after being exhausted.

When I came down, I passed a small stream.

Lin Xiaoxiao felt naughty, ran over and squatted by the stream, holding the stream water with both hands to drink.

Wang Lin suddenly shouted: "Smile, don't move!"

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly and said, "This is mountain stream water, you can drink it."

Wang Lin pointed to her not far away.

Lin Xiaoxiao turned her head to look, her face paled with fright.

A big snake, spitting out a red letter, stood upright and smiled at Lin Xiao.

The eyes of snakes can see things, but their eyesight is not good, which is equivalent to the high myopia of human beings. It is very difficult to focus on stationary objects, but they are good at detecting moving objects.

They use their tongues to produce a sense of smell. If snakes need to detect their surroundings, they will use their tongues to quickly collect odor particles in the air.

That's why Wang Lin called Lin Xiaoxiao and told her not to move.

Of course women are afraid of snakes, and Lin Xiaoxiao is no exception.

She wanted to run, but her legs seemed to be filled with lead, and she couldn't move at all.

Wang Lin took a deep breath.

If Uncle Zhong is here, he will definitely shout for more food!
However, Wang Lin was still a little afraid of big snakes. He didn't have the skill of Uncle Zhong, who could catch snakes with just a quick grab.

Wang Lin knelt down slowly and picked up two stones in his hands.

Taking advantage of the big snake's unpreparedness, Wang Lin threw a stone, which happened to hit around the snake's body.

The snake was frightened and swished into a nearby bush.

Wang Lin threw another stone, and then rushed forward, pulling Lin Xiaoxiao up.

Lin Xiaoxiao cried anxiously: "Wang Lin, I can't run, my whole body is numb."

Wang Lin picked her up and walked towards the Taoist temple, staying away from the snake's territory first.

Lin Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she let Wang Lin hold her and ran for a while. Then she burst into tears and cried, "I was scared to death! I was so scared just now! I'm the most snake!"

Wang Lin also settled down, put down Lin Xiaoxiao, and said, "That snake doesn't seem to be poisonous."

Lin smiled and said: "Not poisonous? That's a snake, okay? It's still that big! I was really scared! My feet are soft."

Wang Lin wanted to let her go, but he had no choice but to support her again.

Lin Xiaoxiao's body was limp, and she leaned against Wang Lin's arms.

Wang Lindao: "Shall we sit down and rest?"

"No, I'm afraid that snake will follow up again. You still carry me down the mountain like you did just now?"

"..."

Lin Xiaoxiao is very soft, but walking while holding her is also tiring!

Regardless of Wang Lin's willingness or not, she directly hooked Wang Lin's neck with both hands, ready to be hugged by the princess.

At this moment, a clear voice came: "Wang Lin? What are you doing?"

When Wang Lin heard Zhou Porridge's voice, he was startled subconsciously, and instinctively threw Lin Xiaoxiao away.

Lin Xiaoxiao's center of gravity was unsteady, and with an ouch, she fell into his arms again.

The two were just standing opposite each other just now, but now they hug each other tightly!
Zhou Congee walked over with a pretty face, "Wang Lin!"

Wang Lin complained incessantly, and said repeatedly: "Xiaoxiao and I got up early, climbed the mountain for a while, and saw a big snake over there, and Xiaoxiao was so frightened that his feet went limp, and he couldn't walk."

It's okay if he doesn't explain!

After hearing what he said, Zhou Porridge snorted coldly: "Really? You have made an appointment. How about climbing the mountain early this morning?"

Wang Lin could hear that she was angry and didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhou Congee was jealous, and bit his lip, "Are you still hugging each other? Are you ashamed to be seen?"

Wang Lin couldn't control much, and quickly let go of Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao lost her support and fell to the ground. She gave Wang Lin a resentful look, her eyes were full of despair.

Wang Lin didn't care what she thought.

With Zhou Porridge by his side, of course Wang Lin took care of Zhou Porridge's feelings first.

Zhou Porridge came over, helped Lin Xiaoxiao up, and said, "Miss Lin, are you okay? Can you go?"

Lin Xiaoxiao stood up shyly, patted the dust off her body, and said, "I'm fine. Let's go!"

After speaking, she walked away step by step.

Wang Lindao: "Congee Congee, I really helped her. My sister-in-law drowned my uncle, and there was no evil intention."

Zhou Congee gave Wang Lin a hard look: "Really? Sister-in-law Ni, give me a helping hand, don't you need to hug her? You and her are very suspicious! I'll settle the score with you later! Hmph!"

Wang Lin was flustered in the wind: "..."
