Chapter 79 Past and Future

"What exactly did you see? Is it the past, the present or the future? Is it emptiness or form?"

Bao'er shook her head.

"I saw blood, fire, carnage and death, and the entity of the ghost, and me and the ghost in my hand!"

In an instant, the monks in the small carpentry workshop felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.These monks had all touched the demon sword before Bao'er, but what they saw from the demon sword either made them happy, or made them ashamed, or made them suddenly enlightened.Regardless of whether what they see from the illusion of the demon knife is emptiness or color, they all benefit greatly from the illusion created by the demon knife.

Only Bao'er, the demon knife actually created a doomsday scene for its master.Bao'er also understood that what he saw was very different from what other people saw. In order not to worry these kind-hearted bald men, he had no choice but to pretend to be hilarious.

"Hahahaha! I fooled you, I finally fooled you! Hahahaha!"

When the monks saw Bao'er's appearance, they realized that they had been tricked by Bao'er, but they were not angry because they really didn't want Bao'er to see the scene he just mentioned.So all the monks laughed along with the "happy" Bao'er.

The abstinence monk also understood Bao'er's intention in an instant, so he followed Bao'er's words and asked him: "Benefactor, what did you see? Is it the past, the present, or the future?"

"Me!" Bao'er said to the monks with a proud look, "I see now, because I see that I have mountains of gold and silver that I can't spend!"

"Is this considered 'now'?" The monks thought that Bao'er was joking with them.

But Bao'er said: "I really have money that I can't spend, so what I see is the present! If what I see is the future, it must be that I am richer than the present, or I was killed by the emperor or The general beheaded!"

"Cut..." The monks confirmed that Bao'er was joking with them.

"You don't believe me? Hey, I have a bad temper!" As he spoke, he walked up to the rebooting monk, patted him on the shoulder, and said to him, "Look, none of your disciples believe me!" I am very rich, so I am very angry, so I decided to give you a few thousand taels of sesame oil money first!"

Jie Lu pretended to be calm, slapped Bao'er's hand off his shoulder, then stood up and walked out of the house while saying: "Hehe, benefactor, you just need to be happy! "

"Hey! Monk, don't you believe me?" Saying that, Bao'er picked up the demon knife and chased him out.But not long after, Bao'er came back again. He patted his chest and said to the monks: "I see you haven't eaten baked rice cakes today, so I'll treat everyone to noodles in the afternoon, how about noodles with fried sauce!"

Because Dongying does not produce wheat, flour has always been a rare item in Dongying, but it is not the case for Baoer.Since last year, whenever Dongbao’s fleet arrives at Sakai Port, they will bring a few stones of flour to Bao’er, so Bao’er is not only the person who eats the most noodles in Dongying’s era, but also the person who has the most flour at home .

(Author popular science: Stone is a unit of volume. A stone of rice in the Ming Dynasty was about 153.5 jin, equivalent to about 184 jin in the current market. The unit weight ratio of rice and white flour is about 8:5, so the weight of a stone of flour in Ming Dynasty is about 115 About a catty. Did the strange knowledge increase again?)

Because the flour is precious, the little monk who knew the way and didn't know the way took Bao'er's handwriting, took a dozen senior brothers, and rushed to Bao'er's mansion pushing a small cart.The other monks in the temple also paid great attention to the noodles that they seldom ate once in several years. They began to search outside the temple according to the list of ingredients provided by Bao'er.

Compared with the laughter and laughter of the whole temple, the abbot's meditation room was eerily quiet.Bao'er and Jie Se looked at each other solemnly, and the two had been going on for a while.

Rebooting has already put aside the respectful words of monks, he asked immediately: "What you see is true!"

Bao'er nodded and said, "Not only can I see and hear, but I can also feel the scorching flames and the biting cold wind!"

"Is it in Japan?"

Bao'er shook his head and said, "It's not like Dongying doesn't have such a vast plain."

"What else did you watch?"

"Myself!" Bao'er pointed to herself and said, "A me who is at least 20 years older than me now!"

"Your knife..." Jie Se looked solemn, and said thoughtfully: "He is very strange. Some monks saw from the knife that he did not become a monk, but lived peacefully with his deceased mother. Some monks But from the knife, I saw the scene of him being beheaded by the warrior. The monk also saw the scene of the death of the peasant who gave him food when he was begging to escape. There are also monks who just saw themselves in the eyes of others. But I saw it from the knife When I arrived, there was a girl wearing a Central Plains palace dress and holding a little doll in her arms, and that little girl scolded me for having winky eyes."

Hearing this, Bao'er stood up "teng", and asked rebooting: "Is that little girl still holding a chicken leg? Did her original words be 'stinky monk, don't dare to stare at me again Take a narrow look, the old lady just dug out a pair of tricks under your eyebrows'like this?"

"You..." Jie Lue pointed at Bao'er in shock, and said tremblingly: "You...is that girl?"

Bao'er nodded and said, "I did meet a perverted monk when I was ten years old, but that monk was not you, because he was a fake monk and a human trafficker."

"how do you know?"

"Because I killed him, in order to survive, he told me everything before he died."

"Is that your first murder?"

"No, but that was the first time I killed many people in a row."

"So, the scene presented by your demon knife is very likely to be true!"

"Maybe..." Bao'er frowned slightly, "I care more about what I said to me."

"What?"

"He said to me: 'You're here too, that's good! Remember all this! Hurry up, get ready, I don't have much time left!' But I didn't understand that he told me What time to hurry up, and what preparations do you want me to make?"

But the great monk could only shake his head and say, "You demon knife... The Buddha said, 'You can't get the heart in the past, you can't get the heart in the present, you can't get the heart in the future.' Which one can be obtained and which one cannot be obtained, Which one is your knife showing us? All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and like electricity, the poor monk is also very confused!" After finishing speaking, Jie Se threw up his big sleeves and walked away!

"You should observe like this, you should observe like this, it's easy to say, I'm just watching!" Jie Se sneered at himself while shaking his sleeves: "I'd better go and wait for the noodles!"

When Bao'er heard that the great monk began to humiliate the Buddha again, she also smiled slightly.He retracted the demon sword in his hand to his waist, patted the blade affectionately, then turned around and chased in the direction the great monk left.

(The author's popular science: "The past mind cannot be obtained, the present mind cannot be obtained, and the future mind cannot be obtained." From the Diamond Sutra. "All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed in this way." Also from the Diamond Sutra. Interested friends can search for what these two sentences mean.)
When Bao'er and the great monk rushed to the Zhaitang, they found that the place was already bustling with activity.It was Niu Qiaoqiao who took the lead in teaching the monks to knead the dough, and Eunuch Cao was the one who taught the monks how to knead the dough. It is said that the two are from Shandong and Shanxi, and they work together seamlessly.

Although the monks were unable to find soybean paste, for a bowl of vegetarian noodles, the local red miso in Dongying is also worth using.Bao'er didn't think about the meaning of the demon sword any more. He took off the feathered weaving that symbolized the status of a warrior, and put on the smock that monks wear when cooking.I came to the chopping board and instructed the monks to shred the white radish and cucumber for later use, and then checked the preparation of shiitake mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots.

Then Bao'er pushed away Eunuch Cao, who couldn't even use a kitchen knife, and went off to cut the noodles himself.I saw the kitchen knife in Bao'er's hand flying up and down, and instantly cut the dough rolled out by the monks into noodles as thick as chopsticks.

Then, Bao'er took advantage of the time when the big pot was boiling water to make the fried sauce by himself.Since it is for monks, of course you cannot use meat fried sauce, so this time the miso fried sauce can only use soybean oil (soybean oil is also very precious).Although there is neither egg nor meat in this sauce, but with the mushrooms, bamboo shoots and eggplants in the pan, the aroma of being fried in boiling oil still attracted everyone's index finger.

Just after noon, the wooden barrels containing the noodles were brought to the dining hall by the monks.Because today's noodles are available in unlimited quantities, monks don't have to eat and drink as they used to.Furthermore, the essence of Zha Jiang Noodles is a big mouthful of noodles with a mouthful of garlic. Although there is no garlic in Nihong, it is still possible to eat noodles with a big mouthful.Therefore, more than 100 monks from Dade Temple plus Bao'er, Eunuch Cao and Qiao Qiao, in order to express their respect for food, no longer cared about any dining etiquette, picked a large chopsticks noodles, poured a spoonful of hot fried sauce , Stir well and stuff it into your mouth.For a while, the sound of "sudden" sucking noodles in the dining hall resounded through the sky.
