Female Buddha

Chapter 12 Harvest
It was early summer when Qingli came to Fahua Temple, and it was autumn in the blink of an eye.Autumn is a season of harvest for both the secular world and the spiritual world.At least this is the case in Fahua Temple.The [-]-year-old pine trees in Fahua Temple have already bear fruit.

Speaking of the pine trees and apricot trees in Fahua Temple for tens of thousands of years, listening to morning bells and evening drums, Buddhist scriptures and Sanskrit singing, bathed in the light of Buddha and the power of faith transformed by the formation.From an ordinary tree to a heaven-defying spiritual plant whose fruit can enhance the aptitude of a practitioner.But this does not change the fact that they will bear fruit every year after they mature.The hundreds of acres of fruit trees in Fahua Temple are not given for nothing.If it is outside, whoever has so many fruit trees will definitely ask someone to help pick them.But in Fahua Temple, hundreds of monks do everything by themselves.When Qingli first arrived, the apricot fruit had already been harvested.She caught up with picking pine cones this time.

On this day, after everyone in the temple finished their morning classes, they all came to the edge of the pine forest.Pine cone picking is for everyone.Even a dwarf like Qingli.Although it is a job that everyone has to do, the amount of harvest you set for everyone is not equal.When it comes to the Buddhist sect's standards for dividing responsibilities and obligations, Qingli can't help but want to complain.Either the stronger the ability, the greater the responsibility; or they are divided according to age.When it comes to Buddhism, everyone is divided according to seniority.The higher the seniority, the heavier the responsibility.The same goes for this daily labor.

Qingli looked down at her little arms and legs, and couldn't help but mourn for herself for a few minutes.Yes, she has practiced the body, and now her cultivation base has also entered the third level of asking Buddha.But I can't stand her being small and short.She is of a high seniority, and she was assigned the same harvest goals as Qingtan and Qingzhi.Each person is responsible for [-] trees.Think about it, this is a [-]-year-old pine tree, more than ten meters high.She had to jump up and down like a monkey to get the pine cones on the tree.And the [-]-year-old pine tree is also highly productive.There are at least hundreds of pine cones on a tree.Qingli had already anticipated the scene where she was jumping up and down busy picking pine cones, while her brothers and nephews were watching the jokes.Don't tell her about the friendship between teachers and students.This group of hangers-on came here as well.From a psychological point of view, they are [-] percent likely to see a joke.

As Qingli expected, the senior elders smiled and patted her on the shoulder, and happily walked into the woods.Seeing Qingli's tendency to explode, the brothers of the Qing generation suppressed the desire to reach out and pat Qingli on the head.They glanced at Qingli with half-smiles, and then walked into the woods calmly.Qingli took a deep breath, as if she wanted to exhale all the depression in her heart.The only thing she was lucky about at the moment was that the pine forest was too big, and the area in charge of the group of juniors was far away, so they couldn't see her jokes.

Qingli walked into the woods with her short legs.When she arrived at the area she was responsible for, she looked up and saw plump pine cones hidden among the lush branches and leaves of a huge pine tree.Qingli was so angry that she jumped onto a branch more than two meters above the ground.Qingli reached out to pick off a pine cone, but found that her hands were not big enough to hold it with one hand.You must know that many plants in this world of cultivation seem to have mutated.Such a pine cone is actually as big as her little face.Qingli swallowed and reminded herself that this is not the earth, but the world of cultivation, so don't make a fuss.Then she could only hold the pine cone with both hands and forcefully take it off.

Because she used too much force, Qingli almost fell off the tree.Qingli reached out her hand in time to support the branch beside her so that she didn't fall off.But the pine cone in her hand was naturally transferred to the ground.Qingli looked at her little hand, and then at the big pine cone that fell on the ground.She rolled her eyes at the sky.Although she was the only one in this woods, Qingli was extremely sure that those monks of the first generation and the Qing generation must be secretly watching her.Maybe there are also monks of the Hengzi generation with high cultivation.Don't think she didn't feel the inspection of the Buddha's consciousness thrown over from time to time.Humph, her senses are sharp.

Qingli's guess was right, the group of dark-hearted monks were indeed snickering.However, Qingli thought in a rather Ah Q spirit that she couldn't hear or see anyway, so she didn't care about it.More important now is how to gather these pine cones.Don't think you'll be all set just by picking all the pine cones off your allotted pine trees.The [-]-year-old pine tree is willful. If the pine cones are not picked within two days after they mature, the fruits will automatically fall to the ground and become fertilizer.Even if you pick it up, the fruit inside will lose its potency.This is also the reason why all the top and bottom of Fahua Temple were dispatched to pick pine cones.

Qingli tried to pick another pine cone, but the result was the same as the first one.Qingli looked at her little arms and legs, and wiped away bitter tears in her heart.At this time, Qingli heard a creaking sound.Although this voice is not a human voice, the mockery contained in the voice is quite obvious.Qingli became angry, and turned her head to stare at the source of the voice, but the other party didn't restrain herself, but she became a little dumbfounded.I saw a golden-eyed giant ape who was about the same height as her, holding her stomach with one hand, and pointing at her with the other, smiling exaggeratedly.

Qingli knew this giant ape, it was the son of the king of the golden-eyed giant ape in the woods next door.Among the spirit beasts in the Fahua Mountains, there are very few ferocious beasts, and even if there are, they are found in the deepest part of the forest.This caused the golden-eyed giant ape family to become the dominant force in this mountain forest.The spirit beasts in the Fahua Mountains grew up listening to the scriptures and bathed in the Buddha's light, and all of them became fine.The juniors in Fahua Temple often go to the woods to chant scriptures and sing, just to exercise their affinity with spirit beasts.This golden-eyed giant ape met Qingli when she first came to Shulin Fanchan.Although it is still in its infancy, it is already a fifth-order spirit beast (equivalent to the golden core stage of human beings).The little guy was very naughty, Qingli was the only one with hair in the temple, so the little guy went to touch Qingli's hair curiously.After pulling Qingli's hair for the first time and hurting it, the little guy knew he had done something wrong, and offered to give Qingli a spiritual fruit as an apology, and when he touched Qingli's hair in the future, it would be gentle.In this way, Qingli became familiar with it, and named it Xiaojin.Qing Li looked at Xiao Jin who kept laughing, and had an idea in her mind.She beckoned to Xiaojin, Xiaojin stopped laughing, and came to Qingli's side with a light leap.

Xiaojin stroked Qingli's hair, and Qingli patted Xiaojin's head in turn and said, "Xiaojin, do you golden-eyed giant apes know how to pick pine cones?"

Xiaojin reached into the branch, and then a pine cone was delivered to Qingli.Qingli hugged the pine cone with both hands and put it into the storage bag issued by the temple.Then Qingli said with a sly expression: "Xiao Jin, do you want to take a bath?"

Animals in the mountains cannot enter the temple unless someone takes them with them.Also known as Qingli Qiba, she once took Xiao Jin to her Zen room and took a bath with her.As a result, after taking a shower, Xiao Jin advanced.The commotion at that time was so loud that everyone in Fahua Temple was alarmed.After finally learning the reason, Qingli was laughed at by her master and the others for a long time.It was at that time that Qingli learned that the Wugou Spring was also useful to spiritual beasts.

Xiaojin has fallen in love with taking a bath since he took a bath in Wugou Spring last time.Although the Wugou Spring is not a panacea, nor does it become more useful as it is soaked.But I can't help but often soak my body to feel comfortable.Hearing what Qingli said, it immediately nodded excitedly and screamed.Seeing that it took the bait, Qingli quickly said: "Then help me find your people to help me pick pine cones. I will take you to take a bath after picking the pine cones from [-] trees for me."

Xiao Jin nodded, stretched out his paw and shook it.

"You want to soak for five days?" Qingli immediately understood what it meant.Although she doesn't care how long it takes to soak, she is asking for a lot of money and has to pay back the money.After staying with the old monks of Fahua Temple for a long time, Qingli habitually bargained, "Two days at most."

Xiao Jin shook his head and retracted two fingers.

"Only two days, at most I will do evening classes in the woods for seven days in a row, and I will also sing with you."

Xiaojin reached out to pat Qingli to signify the deal, and then fled out of the woods in an instant.After a while, hundreds of golden-eyed giant apes came to this forest.Under Xiaojin's command, these giant apes flexibly strung up the books, picked one by one pine cones and put them on a large piece of furoshiki that Qingli threw on the ground.Qingli saw that the pine cones on the furoshiki quickly piled up into a hill at a speed visible to the naked eye, and quickly put them into the storage bag.

The area Qingli was in charge of became lively, attracting those great monks to check here with their Buddha consciousness.Seeing that Qingli had hired a giant ape as a helper, the great monks just smiled in relief.Only Qingtan was a little disappointed. After all, he was in the same situation as Qingli at the beginning. Unfortunately, without the help of the giant ape, he could only seek help from his unscrupulous master.This caused him to be squeezed by his master for the next ten years.Qingtan looked at Xiaojin, then at Qingli's satin-like hair, and sighed.He doesn't have the qualifications of his junior sister, so he can only admit his failure.

It was originally stipulated that the picking would be completed within two days, but with the cheat of the golden-eyed giant ape, Qingli completed her task within half a day.In order to thank these giant apes, Qingli specially gave evening lessons in the woods, and even sang Sanskrit to them for half an hour.In the end, those giant apes left satisfied, and only Xiaojin followed Qingli back to her meditation room like a little tail.It will start taking a bath today.

In the evening of the second day, the picking of pine cones was completed.Qingli looked at the martial arts training ground covered with pine cones as high as a hill, and couldn't help but call out to the local tycoons.Qingtan smiled and patted her little head: "Junior sister, are you crazy? But it comes once a year, and you will get used to it."

Qingli sighed and said, "Good things are worthless if there are too many of them."

Qingtan smiled and said: "This thing is really worthless to us. Although there are not many things that can improve the qualifications of cultivation, there are really a few things that have no side effects. It just so happens that Fahua Temple occupies three things. But anything They are all limited. Take this pine cone as an example, the ability to really improve aptitude is also limited, so it is better for people with poor aptitude. People with good aptitude disdain to use it. And require users to be in the Juyuan period The above. This has already restricted many people. If it is not to cause unnecessary troubles and disturb the pure place of Buddhism, we will not hide these things. The most important thing in Buddhist practice is understanding. So this thing is very important For us Buddhist cultivators, it’s just a piece of cake. Either send it to the people of the branch temple to digest, or be a human relationship with other sects. If the pine forest is not also a part of the mountain protection array, we will not spend it. So much energy to take care of them."

After hearing Qingtan's words, Qingli felt that the pine cones were getting cheaper.
