Farmer's Manor Fish and Rice Fragrance

Chapter 84
The two, like ascetic monks wading through mountains and rivers, started their first journey.

Walking together under difficult conditions, Miaoyin quickly saw Qianxi's eccentric survival rules. She can eat a lot of things, and almost everything that grows on the ground can become her target. He eats very little food and only eats vegetarian food. Qianxi will leave all the vegetables she brought to him, and she will grab some wild flowers, wild fruits and even insects to eat. Not only will she fill her stomach, but she will also enjoy it. Feel envious, like and fascinated.

Over the years, he has been used to chanting scriptures and studying medicine by himself, and has gradually become indifferent to family and friendship. He has never felt lonely or experienced what happiness is. Unexpectedly, a bandit robbed the temple, which deeply traumatized his heart.He began to reflect on himself, what else could he do.Even in the Central Plains, how many suffering people can he really save.

He kept these anguish in his heart, but from time to time he revealed some sadness, which Qianxi caught unintentionally.

"Still sad for the abbot?" A string of meat and vegetables was grilled by the fire, Qianxi sniffed the smell of the food, and cared about Miaoyin's mood.Seeing Miaoyin shaking her head, she asked again: "Are you worried about Sang Qiu?"

Miaoyin still shook her head, "It's all futile, and it's useless to worry."

"Then what's wrong with you? I don't think you're happy."

Miaoyin sighed, got up and walked aside, and stood under a tree.

Qianxi hurriedly extinguished the fire and followed. She just took a bite of the skewers when she heard his deep voice: "I feel that I am useless. I don't know how meaningful this trip to the Central Plains is."

Why did the sudden sadness come?
"Why is it useless? You are a Living Buddha!"

"What can the living Buddha... do?" Miaoyin smiled wryly, "I practiced the Buddhadharma, I have learned the Dharma, I have learned about life and death, and I am free from greed. Of course, I can practice Taoism, but those thieves are still rampant and domineering, and the people are still living in hardship."

Qianxi froze, his voice was sad and confused, very sad.She took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said gently: "I know that this incident has hit you hard, but you can't doubt yourself because of it. There are unpredictable things, and the Buddha also suffered disasters in the process of cultivation. It has been completely reborn. And you are now translating the scriptures on the right path, and you will be able to save more people in the future."

Miaoyin turned her head and stared at her deeply, "What Qianxi said is very true. Greed is the root of suffering, and only Buddhism can enlighten all living beings."

Qianxi coughed a few times, "Ahem, that's what I said, but what we say now is still just talking on paper. This greed is human nature. No matter how enlightened by Buddha, it is impossible for everyone to worship Buddha. Yes, so I think you can do other practical things besides passing on the scriptures and ferrying people, so as to exert more powerful power."

Miaoyin's eyebrows straightened, "Tell me?" After being flattered, Qianxi was flattered for a while, and began to talk nonsense, "Hey, I think it's useless for you to just worry about it here. You can't solve the problem but your heart is getting more and more blocked , Right? You see, you have martial arts, and you are a living Buddha respected by people. You should use your advantages and take practical actions to achieve everything you expect! Instead of pushing all the big and small problems to the Buddha, then the Buddha It will be very busy! Think about Empress Nuwa, such a big god, she also repairs the sky herself to save the common people, so when it is time to act, this is the right way."

Miaoyin opened her clear eyes and looked at her without blinking, as if she was immersed in the "reason" she said and was shocked and unable to regain consciousness.

Qianxi suddenly returned to the cage, feeling that she was a bit out of control, shrank her neck in embarrassment, "Hee hee, I'm just a poor mouther, don't worry about it."

Miaoyin let out a long breath, and nodded slowly, "What Miss Qianxi said is very true, Miaoyin really can't just talk on paper."

"That's right, some people are useless just relying on what you say, and some people are born evil, and their nature is hard to change. You actually did a good job. You taught that bandit leader a lesson and didn't follow him like Tang Seng. Saying that people are born of human mothers, and demons are born of demon mothers, is already very good!" Qianxi couldn't help boasting again.

"What?" Miao Yin didn't understand.

"Oh, a very wordy monk."

Miaoyin smiled slightly. "In your opinion, what practical action should I take part in?"

Qianxi smiled embarrassedly, and leaned closer to his face, "Are you really willing to listen to me? I just said it casually, and it's irresponsible."

Miao Yin eagerly reached out her hand to signal, "But it's okay to say."

Qianxi is a bit of a donkey, and she is a little swayed when she is patted on by others, and she speaks boldly: "This is a practical action. In fact, I don't know much about national affairs, wars, and government affairs. I mean, you When you come to the Central Plains in the future, if you want to pass on the scriptures, it is best to be close to the royal family, so that those in power can accept Buddhism, so that it can be spread more widely. If you can participate in political discussions like a national teacher, use your strategy, your compassion, and persuade the emperor to serve the country and the people. Only by reducing wars and killings can the people be truly rescued, and this is considered as doing your best, and it is a merit!"

When Miaoyin listened to her, her eyes sometimes opened wide, sometimes half-closed, several times of deliberation, several times of agitation, if she said that she awakened the dreamer with a single word, it would be better to say that she gave him courage and confidence.He has studied Buddhism for many years, but he has great ambitions, but he suffers from not being able to expand in this small monastery, so he yearned for the Central Plains. He was confused and hesitant. He didn't want to participate in wars and government affairs, and he didn't want his hands to be stained with blood.But now, he knows that invisible does not mean non-existence, and it is better to face it than avoid it. "Qianxi, Miaoyin is so lucky to meet you among all living beings."

Qianxi's smug smiling face froze slightly, facing his shining starry eyes, unconsciously, her face became hot.

Seeing that it was getting dark, and the two of them staggered forward, exhausted, Qianxi really didn't have the strength to walk, so she wanted to find a place to spend the night.It is often seen in TV dramas that people walking in the wild will "coincidentally" encounter caves or abandoned huts, so she was lucky enough to stand on a high hill and look around. There is really no doubt at least five miles in all directions. Guang convex glanced at the head.

"What should we do? We were supposed to stay in a village just now." Qian Xi, who had no experience in wild survival, became worried, and sat on the mound of dirt with her chin resting in her hands, thinking about it.When she was with Rong Qin before, she never had to think about this issue.

Tch...why do you think of him again?

What good is a good person?It doesn't belong to her.

Miaoyin has a calm expression on her face. Although he has never slept outside, he doesn't care about this difficulty at all, but Qianxi... He looked at her, then turned his head and slowly checked the surrounding area. What kind of safe haven? In the end, he had to fix his eyes on a slightly thick cypress tree. The cypress tree has dense branches and leaves, which can block some wind and dew. Without speaking, he moved some nearby stones under the tree silently, preparing to place a stone tower.
