Chapter 509 Treatment of Aphids

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

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

As for Yunchu and Lao Houzi, Master Xuanzang seemed to have not seen them.

For this kind of reaction, Yunchu has adapted to it a long time ago, and at the same time, the old monkey is also very adaptable.

In his opinion, a monk gave birth to a son, after all, it is not a glorious thing.

The old monkey understood Xuanzang's mood very well, but Yunchu couldn't understand it. He had been looking forward to having a heart-to-heart conversation with Master Xuanzang, but until today, the old monk still refused to give him this chance.

Yunchu felt that the fact that he came to Datang suddenly from that world could not be explained clearly with Buddhism.

Einstein's theory may explain it more thoroughly.

Yunchu 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 wriggling in the alms bowl. There were a lot of them. It seemed that the old monk was hiding in the cotton field just now. The most important thing is to use a brush to brush the aphids off the cotton.

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

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?

An old monkey would usually become younger when he saw Xuanzang. Anyway, Xuanzang was his master, and he had 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 did the same thing as Xuanzang did.

However, because they always have to practice closed-mouthed meditations that will never be completed, when Yun Chu greeted them, they just smiled and laughed, and their smiles were full of compassionate smirks.

Yun Chu always likes to pick out the viciousness from a beautiful thing, doubting everything is what his education told him to do.

Yunchu, as a descendant of a team that has come out of hardships and hardships, climbed out of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, has experienced the most brutal betrayal, the most painful mistakes, and finally walked towards the light.

Doubting everything and insisting on going his own way is the most unwavering belief in his heart.

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

He has his own beliefs.

The aphids that Xuanzang brushed off with a brush naturally couldn't be killed, because monks don't kill animals.

Naturally, the aphids cannot be placed in other places. In this way, the efforts of the monks will be in vain.

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

Thus, Yunchu got a bowl full of aphids.

Returning to Qiyun Temple with the alms bowl in hand, Xuanzang was sitting by the pool, soaking his feet in the water, talking to Naha, not knowing what Naha was talking about, Xuanzang was very happy to hear it.

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

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

The old monkey said in a low voice: "When I traveled with Master Xuanzang in the Gobi Desert, Master Xuanzang did not kill people."

After speaking, he smiled mysteriously at Yun Chu.

Yunchu found a wet cloth, covered it with the bowl, and put the bowl on the window sill. Whether the aphids survived depends on fate.

That's right, this is Yunchu's way of dealing with it, because monks and Taoist priests share some principles, such as - resigning to fate.

Changing fate against the sky is something that Confucianism only pays attention to. All religions in the world have the saying of resignation to fate. Therefore, many religious figures are extremely calm when facing death.

Yunchu hoped that this aphid who had been baptized in Buddhism could do the same.

There was a cool breeze in Qiyun Temple, and the persimmon trees blocked most of the sunlight. Yunchu lay on his back on a bamboo bed, only to find that the persimmon trees were in bloom.

Persimmon flowers are very simple and unpretentious, without stunning appearance, just a bunch of light yellow flowers, which are hidden among the leaves. From a distance, you can see the leaves and branches, but you can’t see its appearance clearly, let alone its appearance. Want to smell the real floral fragrance.

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

Yu Xiurong took the whole family to Qiyun Temple, and the old monkey fell asleep again wrapped in a pile of fur, and Yunchu naturally planned to have a sound sleep.

"Master Mingshan, can you speak?"

"Ah, the mouth grows on the face to speak, why do you want to practice closed mantra?"

"Would you like some wine? I also specially went to Guangfufang to bring you some dog meat. I heard it's braised in soy sauce. You like it the most."

Even through a thick and high wall, Naha's voice of coaxing monks to break the precepts still came over tenaciously.

This time the monks seemed to be very determined, even across a wall, Yunchu could still imagine that Master Mingshan was facing Naha with a kind smile.

The monks in Shaolin Temple live a very hard life. Because they are deep in the mountains, they rarely give alms. It is said that only more than 1000 mu of land at the foot of the mountain maintain their livelihoods.

Because it is a poor temple, there are no tenants, so many monks have to cultivate land while worshiping Buddha.

I heard that Naha spent a lot of money for Shaolin Temple, so that Wei Tuo at the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple changed his Wei Tuo pestle from the ground to the crook of his arm.

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

Thinking of this, Yunchu couldn't help but think of the great monk of Shaolin Temple in his time. Speaking of it, it was really good, turning Shaolin Temple into a big company, except that there were no Buddhist practitioners.

The next day, Yunchu took a look at the dried sackcloth on the bowl, and found that most of the aphids inside were alive, and of course many died.

Yun Chu sprayed some water on the sackcloth and continued to cover the bowl, waiting with great anticipation for all the aphids inside to die.

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

Naha said that Master Xuanzang just smiled silently.

After perfunctorily completing the task assigned by her brother, Naha took Li Si and Yunjin brothers and sisters with a basket and continued to confuse those Shaolin monks to relapse.

The monks in Shaolin Temple can eat meat and drink alcohol, Naha also knows this, but she just likes to bring wine and meat to lure those monks to break the precept.

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

Ever since she was pregnant with the child, Yu Xiurong refused to sleep in the cool air in the yard. According to her, the child in her stomach was a serious child, and she didn't dare to sleep outside and be bumped by some strange things.

She had a basis for saying this. The concubine named Chunyu who was pulled out of the prison by Li Yifu who claimed to be able to read oracle bone inscriptions gave birth to a child for him when Li Yifu went to Hebei Province to serve as the ambassador to dethrone him.

This kid has a tail!

Although it has been a year since Li Yifu went to Hebei Province, Chunyu's family only gave birth to a child belonging to Li Yifu three days ago, which is very exaggerated.

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

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

The evening time is Yu Xiurong's favorite time. At this time, she can lean in her husband's arms, and the two of them chatting about some inhumane gossip.

"Did your husband miss me when you were in Liaodong?" Yu Xiurong raised one leg and put it on Yunchu's waist and asked in a low voice.

"I want to, especially when I'm sleeping in the mud, I want to sleep with your warm body in my arms."

"Didn't do anything else?"

"It's not easy to do other things. In Liaodong, many times when I sleep, I am surrounded by my comrades."

"No wonder the concubine is not pregnant, it turns out that's the case."

"When I'm not around, if you get pregnant, believe it or not, I can set the house on fire?"

"Hehehe... Li Yifu can... hahaha."

Seeing Yu Xiu rolling all over the bed with a smile on his face, Yun Chu didn't want to continue to say these rascal things in Qiyun Temple.

Seeing the bright moon outside the window illuminating the earth like day, he got up and went to the yard, and lifted the wet cloth covering the alms bowl under the moonlight.

As soon as the wet cloth was lifted, a group of flying insects with wings rose into the sky from the bowl. The color of these insects could not be seen clearly. They were all white by the moonlight, and the wings were transparent and very cute.

Seeing these insects soaring into the sky, hovering around the window for a moment, they all flew towards the bright moon in the sky.

A small cluster formed in the night sky, and they continued to climb higher and higher, and finally flew over the high wall to the Qiyun Temple next door.

Yun Chu looked at the remaining half bowl of dead aphids in the alms bowl, jumped up, grabbed the top of the wall, and climbed onto the high wall with both 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 was lit.

Those little flying insects that just flew over from Yunchu's side are now gathering around the candle lamp, desperately wanting to break through the lampshade and have an intimate contact with the flame.

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

Yunchu looked at Master Xuanzang, sighed and said, "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 wants to know, I know everything, and I can say everything."

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

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I dare not."

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