That monk has a dragon [Rebirth]

Before dawn, Lingjun got up, took a bath, put on a clean monk's clothes, took Si Huai to bid farewell to the master abbot, and went to the kitchen to reveal the first class while the disciples were doing morning classes in the Daxiong Hall. With a drawer of steamed buns, he walked down the mountain road under the sunlight.

Lingjun mentioned that there was a flood in the upper reaches of the Huai River, so he wanted to take a look at the situation in the middle reaches of the waterway on this trip to the capital. Fortunately, the journey went smoothly and he arrived in the capital a few days earlier than expected.

For this reason, Si Huai felt that he was a divine dragon with aura, and he was responsible for the people's livelihood, so he walked a little more sassyly.

There were still a few days before leaving the altar to give lectures. Lingjun did not hand over a letter of worship to let people know that Master Shengchan came to Beijing, but took Si Huai on a steep mountain road for more than ten miles to find a reclusive monk. Talk about Zen.

Si Huai studied Buddhism with him for a year, but it didn't mean he could calm down and listen to the two monks say "Buddha" and "Bodhisattva", so he started walking around by himself.

Among the mountains, the clouds and mist surround the green forest, which is beautiful, but it is backed by a cliff. There seems to be an eagle's nest on the cliff, and from time to time you can see goshawks hovering above their heads with their wings spread.

When he was a little snake, he was most afraid of birds flying in the sky. Even if he has become a dragon and turned into a human, he would still instinctively shrink back when facing such birds with sharp beaks and sharp claws.

This time, he retreated into the small forest and slept until dark.

In a daze, he felt his nose was itchy, and he reached out to scratch it but caught a handful of hairs. He opened his eyes in a fright, and saw a pair of black eagle eyes staring straight at him. The long eagle beak is only a finger distance from his nose.

The lower body seemed to be pierced into the flesh by something, and there was a pain like gouging out flesh. Si Huai condensed his true energy and slapped the eagle's palm away, and sat up in a panic, only to realize that he was in a deep sleep. Melted out the tail.

It is said that the eagle has excellent eyesight and can find prey coiled in the dense forest at high altitudes. The eagle probably regarded him as a big snake and grabbed his tail tightly with its eagle claws, but failed to catch him. catch him.

The dragon's tail turned back into its legs, and a few bloody holes were left on the thigh where the eagle had grabbed it. Si Huai's eyes had a light blue circle, and a scene of chilling swept across, and the surroundings instantly cooled down. The dizzy eagle stood up staggeringly, and before he could flap his wings to fly, Si Huai, who teleported over, grabbed his neck.

"You want to eat me? Why don't you let me eat meat first." A strange smile that he had never seen before appeared on Si Huai's face, as if he had been greatly satisfied, his tongue touched his upper teeth and touched the corner of his mouth , a white light flashed in his hand, and he beheaded the eagle.

Perhaps it died too quickly, the eagle's head fell to the ground before it could react, it opened its mouth and let out a hoarse cry before it fell silent.

The firewood was burning vigorously, and Si Huai sat on the big rock where he had just slept, turning the wooden stick in his hand, and staring closely at the food that was already a little bit burnt.

Although this hawk is courageous enough, it is not big enough. It is half the height of a man standing, and it is not as big as a sheep after its hair has been plucked. Eagle Leg, took a deep sniff, and just bit down.

He just bit it down, but before Si Huai could swallow it, a figure stood opposite the fire, looking at him seriously.

"Lingjun, I..." Si Huai licked the grease stains on his lips, and suddenly remembered the rules and regulations in the temple, but the color of the roasted meat was so attractive that he couldn't bear to let it go.

The roasted eagle, which was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, had blood-stained feathers all over the ground, and rolled to the side of the eagle's head with its beak open, and one could tell what it was at a glance.

"Just now a burst of murderous intent came from the woods. I thought you were in some danger. How could you... actually kill and eat meat!" Lingjuan raised his anger at him for the first time, but he was also faintly glad that the one he killed was only the eagle. rather than people.

The first of the five Buddhist precepts is the precept of not killing.Life is a sentient life, and killing is to cut off a sentient life with various instruments. The precept of killing is the most important thing, and the killing of other creatures is the least important.Knowing that it is alive and killing it is killing; knowing that it is alive and killing it, or teaching others how to kill and causing death is also killing.

Monks do not kill. In order not to kill living things to satisfy their appetites, meat is usually forbidden in temples, and the occasional oily and meaty gas is a small stove opened by the residents who live in the temple.

Si Huai was originally a carnivorous animal, but he still obeyed the Buddhist precepts after listening to Lingjun's words. Occasionally, when there were no people around, he would go to the pilgrims' room to eat meat, and he had to rinse his mouth three times after eating to avoid letting him down. Lingjun found out.

But now he not only broke the precepts and killed an eagle, but also roasted it until it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, eating the meat in front of Monk Lingjun.

"I didn't kill innocently, it hurt me first..." Si Huai lifted up the hem of his clothes to show him the scratches on his legs, and took a cautious look at Lingjun.

The eagle's claws were sharp, and although the bloody holes were not big, they were gouged into the flesh, and blood was still oozing out, Lingjun's brows furrowed deeper, most of his anger had gone, and he chanted "Amitabha Buddha" several times in succession. Only then did he ignore the feathers all over the floor, and sat beside Si Huai to check his wounds.

"Master Puyi said that the eagles on the mountain wall are very fierce. They often go to the villages below the mountain to catch the villagers' poultry, and even take away the fish meat hanging in the yard. If you kill it, it will be regarded as eliminating harm. But violating the precepts is violating the precepts. Animals have minor crimes, and you cannot be punished for copying scriptures to repent as if you have not made any mistakes. This time I went to Huguo Temple to give lectures, and you can copy as many scriptures as you want to get rid of the filth on your body."

"Can I..." Si Huai turned his head to meet Shang Lingjun's gaze, and swallowed the words "less". He didn't know how many scriptures Lingjun used to teach, but he knew Before Beijing, a list was copied and sent to Huguo Temple, and a page of Buddhist scriptures was written on it.

But it is true that he should copy the Buddhist scriptures to clear his heart, he just felt drowsy when he was scratched by this eagle, he just felt annoyed, and he couldn't control his murderous desire.

There are many herbs in the mountains, Lingjun walked around twice, picked some herbs to stop bleeding, crushed them and applied them on his wound to stop the bleeding. I don't know if a person who has become a fairy is not afraid of pain, Si Huai looked at him without saying a word , until he stopped, and then asked cautiously: "Can I eat? It's almost burnt."

"..." Lingjun looked at him with a bit of resentment, "Eating meat is not taboo, since you have roasted it, don't waste it."

There is no non-eating meat in the Buddhist precepts. It is only because of not killing that people don't touch meat.

Si Huai got the consent, and finally started to eat. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Lingjun next to him. After a while, he still couldn't hold back, and said vaguely with something bulging in his mouth: "Master Lingjun, you are also a dignified man. People, don't rub your hands on your clothes, you can't see the original color of your monk robes."

"..."

On the second day, Si Huai moved a small chair and sat in a corner out of the way, listening to Lingjun's lecture on Buddhism while copying the scriptures.

This Dharma meeting lasted for seven full days, and Si Huai copied it for seven full days. His mind was full of "Nan Wu He Luo Dana Duo Luo Ye Ye", and his desire to kill was completely gone.

Just as Si Huai put down his shaggy pen, and before he could turn his sore wrist, a man with a flattering smile stood in front of him, saying that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to see him.

His Majesty the current emperor is a wise ruler who loves the people like a son, but he is always biased when it comes to governing the country. When encountering difficult problems, he often goes to the Huguo Temple to pray for the blessing of the Buddha.

Speaking of which, Si Huai also met him. Before the dragon transformation, he and Lingjun begged for rain for seven days. After the dragon transformation, he held an umbrella and knelt in front of the dragon in the rain and begged the gods to bless the society, but they all left. It was too early, Si Huai turned into a human form and followed Lingjun away, and the two hadn't spoken face to face.

For Lingjun's sake, Si Huai went to the palace for a while, but came back before it was dark, and it took only two hours.

Lingjun was meditating in the monk's dormitory, and was a little surprised to see him come back.The people in the palace told him that the emperor took Si Huai to have a banquet with delicacies from mountains and seas, and it is unlikely that Si Huai would think about coming back to eat vegetarian food.

"Master Lingjun." Si Huai sat down next to him, called out seriously, and asked, "Am I really a god? Most of the flowers, trees, animals and birds cultivated are spirits and monsters, but you see me?" On the first side, say that I am a fairy."

"You are naturally a fairy. Although most mortal things have cultivated into spirits and monsters, you have cultivated from a dragon to a dragon after many calamities. Your cultivation base is much higher than ordinary spirits and monsters, and your spiritual power is strong. Naturally, you are a fairy. A fairy is the right way and does righteous things; Demons are crooked and often do crooked things. In many cases, good and evil are only a matter of one thought, which is why I ask you to have kind thoughts in your heart."

"But in the world, there are many ghosts who cultivate human form, and there are also immortals and Buddhas who slay demons and eliminate demons. Naturally, there will also be people who have achieved true results. Why haven't I seen any of them?"

"...The poor monk didn't achieve a positive result. How would you know that if you hadn't transformed well in the beginning, you might have hidden in some famous mountain and river to become a free celestial being." Lingjun knocked on his head angrily. After a while, "What did the emperor say to you, and you will ask if you have any of these as soon as you come back?"

"The emperor asked me if there was any way to make people live forever. He also told me that since I am a god, my blood can definitely prolong life, and asked me if I would give him a bowl of blood, or save him some time." With cultivation base, he can adopt me as a godson and enjoy all the glory and wealth. The banquet was just for accepting me as a godson."

When Si Huai said the last sentence, his throat choked up.He always thought that Lingjun was underestimating him by saying that he was still like a child, but today when he watched a few eunuchs take out knives, he clearly knew that he was afraid.

Yes, be afraid.He couldn't kill the king of a country like he killed the eagle, so he could only back down step by step to those who wanted to bleed him. In the end, several ministers risked their lives to persuade him to come back intact.

Everyone in the world respects gods and gods, and prays to gods and Buddhas when encountering any problems.It was the first time he knew that someone wanted to drink immortal blood to make him immortal.

"Your Majesty, he really said that?" Although Lingjun asked, she still had a solid idea in her heart.

Emperor Kangyou loved the people, but did not do much. He cared so much about the country and the people's livelihood that he asked gods and Buddhas when he could not do it.A person's life is too short, maybe he will die before a peaceful and prosperous age, so he wants to live forever.

It's just that the method is too extreme.

"How did you answer him?" After entering the palace, unless the emperor let him go, even if he turned into a real body and flew out, he would be carried back by the guards.

"If you accumulate virtue and do good deeds, you will be protected by gods and Buddhas." This is a saying that every monk can casually say, after a pause, Si Huai added another sentence.

"I also said that I don't want to be his dry son, I just want to chant sutras and Buddha with you."

The author has something to say: I think I wrote Xiao Sihuai so cute. φ(￣?￣o)
