I really don't want to be a teacher

At this time, the middle-aged man carefully walked out of the kitchen with two bowls of porridge.

"Zen Master Jiekong, here, and brother, yours..."

Walking to the dining table, the middle-aged man carefully put the porridge in the old monk's bowl in front of the old monk, and put another bowl of porridge on the table in front of Lian Ge,

After putting down the two bowls of porridge, the middle-aged man turned around and was about to enter the kitchen again.

"Decheng, I'll serve the rest of the porridge, and you can help Yanhui with some."

In the bedroom on the side, a middle-aged woman came out with her belly outstretched, and the old lady quickly stopped the middle-aged man.

"it is good,"

Hearing the sound, the middle-aged man turned around and looked at his wife with a smile on his face. He walked over quickly and helped the middle-aged woman to sit down at the dining table.

The old lady looked at her son and daughter-in-law with a smile in her cloudy eyes.

Chapter 348 Chanting

"...Come on, Yanhui, eat some of this, and see if Mom's craftsmanship has deteriorated."

"Thank you mom."

At the dining table, the old lady was holding dishes for her daughter-in-law from time to time, and talking, the middle-aged woman also smiled and responded,

"Zen Master Jiekong, young man, you can eat too, don't be too polite, just take it easy."

The old lady turned her head and greeted the old monk and Lian Ge,

Lian Ge smiled, took the bowl, took a bite of the food with chopsticks,

The little white mice on the ground were also fighting around the bowl of porridge.

The old monk looked at the family at the dining table, and after a pause, he picked up the bowl, took a pair of faded chopsticks, and poured a mouthful of porridge into his mouth.

……

"Decheng, don't go out to sea this morning, turn over the roof of this house, tidy it up, and look at the time of day, there may be strong winds and heavy rain in the next two days. There were two noble people there last night, otherwise today You have to eat in the water in the morning."

"Yes, after dinner, I'll take a ladder up to have a look, and pick up the tiles that should be picked up."

"Wait a little longer, wait until the roof is a little dry before going up."

"It also becomes..."

At the dining table, the old lady's family was talking about trivial matters, and the small voices were accompanied by the sea breeze blowing into the main room from time to time, which added a bit of calm.

Lian Ge drank porridge, picked up chopsticks from time to time, smiled slightly, and listened quietly,

The old monk was holding the porridge bowl and chopsticks, poking the porridge in the bowl and watching.

……

"...Zen Master Jiekong, young man, I am asking Decheng to serve you a bowl."

The old lady's family finished their meal one after another. The old lady turned her head and said to Lian Ge and the old monk,

"Thank you for this bowl of porridge, old man, one bowl is enough." Lian Ge smiled.Put down the porridge bowl,

"You are welcome, young man. There is nothing to entertain at home, young man, just don't blame us for being negligent. There is still some porridge in the pot, if it is not enough, just add more."

The old lady smiled and said,

Hearing this, Lian Ge shook his head,

Seeing this, the old lady didn't persuade her anymore, she turned her head to look at the old monk,

And the old monk had already put down his bowl,

"Thank you for the porridge, the poor monk is already full."

As he spoke, the old monk took his own bowl and stood up,

"That's OK... Zen Master Jiekong, if you want to wash the dishes, it's still there yesterday."

The old lady also stood up and began to clean up the dishes on the table.

"Thank you, benefactor." Bending slightly towards the old lady again, the old monk walked into the kitchen.

"...Mom, let me help you."

"Mom can come by herself, just sit down."

"Yanhui, Mom and I will clean up, just a few bowls, you can just sit here and rest for a while."

The middle-aged woman puffed out her stomach and wanted to stand up to help clean up. The old lady quickly persuaded her, and the middle-aged man beside her also quickly stood up and persuaded her.

……

After clearing away the dishes, the old lady and the middle-aged man walked into the kitchen,

The old monk who washed the dishes and chopsticks also walked back to the main room, stamped his feet, the old monk moved his feet, and walked towards the room where he lived before.

He took out his bag and walked out again.

After draining the washed bowls and chopsticks, the old monk put the bowls and chopsticks back into the bag, and took out the yellowed scriptures.

At this time, the old lady and the middle-aged man who cleaned up the dishes also came out of the kitchen again,

"donor,"

The old monk bowed slightly towards the old lady's family,

"Thanks to the benefactor for giving the poor monk a place to shelter from the wind and rain for one night, and gave the poor monk two bowls of porridge. The poor monk has no property and can't repay him. I hope the benefactor will allow the poor monk to recite a sutra for the benefactor. Express your heart."

"What did Zen Master Jiekong say? My wife, I am also a Buddhist. The Buddhists teach the accumulation of good virtues. Just a few bowls of porridge. It's convenient, so I don't need any rewards." The old lady said quickly,

"However, Zen Master Jiekong is willing to explain scriptures and Dharma to my old lady, so I am naturally willing to listen."

The old lady smiled and replied, "Zhan Master Jiekong, look, do you need to find a quiet place? I set up a shrine in that room. I want to chant scriptures on weekdays. I want to read the scriptures. time, in that room."

"Don't dare to trouble the benefactor again."

The old monk shook his head,

"Then... Zen Master Jiekong, do you think it suits you?"

"Just in this main room." The old monk said, holding the yellowed scriptures, carrying the bag, and sat down cross-legged on the ground of the main room.

Seeing this, the old lady quickly sat down cross-legged on the ground,

The middle-aged woman with a puffed stomach looked at the old lady, propped herself up on the seat, and was about to get up,

"... If you benefactors are willing to listen to the poor monk's chanting, you can sit or stand, you don't need to be deliberate."

Seeing this, the old monk said aloud,

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman hesitated for a while, and sat down on the seat again, and the middle-aged man also found a stool beside him and sat down.

On the side, Lian Ge glanced at the crouched old monk sitting cross-legged on the ground, stood up from his seat,

The little white mouse on the ground beside him jumped onto Lian Ge's shoulder again, turned his head, and looked around.

……

The old monk spread out the book, looked at the handwriting on the book, paused for a moment, followed closely, and began to recite,

"...Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, practice the deep Prajna Paramita for a long time..."

The old monk recited the Heart Sutra, and when the recitation sounded, the room seemed to be quiet, only the recitation of the scriptures echoed.

The old lady sitting cross-legged not far from the old monk was immersed in it not long after the chanting sounded,

The middle-aged man and middle-aged woman sitting further back also followed closely, closing their eyes slowly, listening,

On the side, Lian Ge glanced at the old monk who was reciting scriptures. Hearing the sound of scriptures reverberating in the main room, he turned his gaze and looked at the distance outside the main room.

The old monk's chanting sound is ups and downs, with a special and regular rhythm, not like chanting, but chanting,

The sound of the scriptures reverberates, although there is no magic, but it is like a stream under the moon, with a cool breeze blowing on the face.

"...Parasana reveals the truth, Bodhisattva..."

After reciting the Heart Sutra, the old monk stopped talking, but the main room was still quiet.

The old lady was still immersed in it, while the middle-aged man and the middle-aged woman opened their eyes again, but did not make a sound to disturb,

Lian Ge glanced at the old lady's family and the old monk, smiled slightly, and didn't say much.

……

"...Amitabha, Zen Master Jiekong's Dharma is profound. Listening to Master Jiekong chanting the sutra once, it feels like he has been washed from the inside to the outside, and he feels much cleaner and more comfortable."

After a long time, the old lady opened her eyes again, smiled happily, and said,

Hearing this, the old monk shook his head, closed the yellowed scripture again, put it in the bag, stood up again,

"The poor monk has a shallow knowledge of Buddhism, and he has only a half-knowledge of the scriptures. If he gains something, it is only the root of the wisdom of the donor."

"Zen Master Jiekong is humble." The old lady also stood up.

Hearing this, the old monk shook his head again.

……

"Old man, I have eaten porridge and listened to a passage by Zen Master Jiekong. It is time for me to go."

Lian Ge glanced at the old monk, looked away, stepped forward, and said with a smile,

"The road outside is still wet, wait a little longer before leaving." The old lady turned her head when she heard this, and said aloud,

Hearing this, Lian Ge shook his head slightly.

"...Thank you benefactor for the porridge for staying overnight, the poor monk should go too."

On the side, the old monk followed closely and said aloud,

"This...why don't you stay any longer? When the road is dry at noon, it will be easier to walk." The old lady asked to stay again.

Smiling and shaking his head again, Lian Ge turned around and walked out of the house.

Behind him, the old monk followed closely,

"Then... Zen master Jiekong, young man, take your time, and remember to come and have a seat when you pass by the old woman's house again."

The old lady took two quick steps, walked to the door, and said to Lian Ge and the old monk.

Chapter 349

"……donor,"

After stepping out of the yard and walking a few steps along the still wet village road, the voice of the old monk Lian Ge sounded behind him,

Slightly stamped his feet and didn't look back,

Immediately afterwards, the old monk, carrying his luggage and supporting the branch again, stepped on the muddy water still accumulated on the road, walked a few steps, and walked to Lian Ge's side,

"I haven't asked the name of the benefactor before." The old monk supported the branch, turned around, paused, and then asked.

"Lian song."

"Benefactor Lian," the old monk looked at Lian Ge, clasped his hands together slightly, "...is Benefactor Lian going on a trip?"

Glancing at the old monk, Lian Ge smiled slightly and nodded,

"...I don't know, can the poor monk go with the benefactor Lian?" The old monk leaned on his body and said,

"The benefactor is a man of great wisdom, and the poor monk is confused and difficult to solve... I hope I can walk with the benefactor Lian for a while, and use the great wisdom of the benefactor to solve the confusion of the poor monk."

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the hunched old monk, smiled slightly, turned his gaze back,

Moved away again, walked along the wet village road,

"I'm not the only one to walk this road. Zen Master Jiekong wants to follow, so just follow."

"Thank you, Benefactor Lian." The old monk bowed and said a long word, then quickly followed.

……

Along the wet village road, Lian Ge moved forward, the old monk beside him supported the branch, followed closely,
