[Journey to the West] So I am Monk Tang

Modern articles (16)

The name Gautama is very interesting. It is not related to the famous Patriarch Bodhidharma. In fact, this name involves a more terrible person.

Gautama Siddhartha.

Shakyamuni was called this name before he became a monk.

According to folk customs, if the child is not in good health since childhood, then one should be cautious when choosing a name.If you don’t have any conditions, you can just choose a cheap name. The lower the name, the more disgusting it is. It’s said that you won’t invite the King of Hades to see him, and the King of Hades won’t let the little devil go to seduce his soul; Please ask someone to calculate the horoscope of your birthday, choose the characters according to the yin and yang and five elements, and make up for what is lacking. If the five elements lack water, choose a character next to the character of water, if the five elements lack water, choose the character next to the character of fire, and so on.And that's not all, the number of strokes of the name is also very particular, the sum of the strokes of the first name and the surname must match a certain number corresponding to the birth date to be the best.

And the reason why I know this is because I heard my grandma nagging.Ever since my brother had an accident, she always said that it was because of his bad name that he didn’t escape the disaster. She said that he was in poor health when he was a child and spent a lot of money to ask someone to help him come up with a particularly good name. As a result, there were too many strokes and he was dismissed. My brother disliked it so much, he just didn't need it, that's why my brother died young.

Grandma even showed the name to me, patted her conscience and said, if it were me, I would not use it.If there are too many strokes, it can be tolerated. The problem is that when the name is taken out, two of the three characters cannot be recognized by normal people. The name is called by others. It can be tolerated without a good meaning, but let others What's the point if you can't even read it?

But my grandma is getting old, and she is very stubborn in admitting death. As long as my brother is mentioned, I will talk about it once. If there are no children in the family, it’s fine. Here is the lesson from the negative textbook.Let’s not talk about how disrespectful these words are, as far as my brother’s accident is concerned, it’s not under the control of Hades, where people believe in God!

This example is a bit extreme, and it sounds subconsciously that the importance of the name is overly exaggerated, giving people a very unreliable feeling.But in fact, the name cannot determine a person's fate, but it is a bit biased to say that it has no influence.At least, a seemingly harmonious name will make people subconsciously feel good. I once participated in a civil election when I was in college. In fact, I didn’t know any of the nominees on the ballot. Is the final candidate to be submitted depends on which one? Is the name pleasing to the eye?

Cough, it's a bit of a stretch, let's talk about Gotama.

If this name is heard by ordinary people, it is a bit strange at most, but for Buddhists, it is impossible for them not to know the meaning of this name. This kind of taboo does not only happen in ancient times, just like few heartless parents would give it to their children. Just like taking the name of the founder of the country, no sincere believer would give his child this name.

Normal people can't resist this name, let alone a child who has been in poor health since childhood. This name doesn't sound like a talisman but rather a reminder.

However, Gotama was fine, and his body was so shiny that it made me feel dazzling.

There are other secrets behind everything that does not conform to common sense. If Gautama was just a suitor that Bai Jingjing didn't like to me before, now I want to know his details even more.It's not that I think too much, but that I have never seen a person with so many merits.This has surpassed the existence of mortals, and it looks more like...

Seeing Gautama's back gradually disappearing, I only hope that I am thinking too much. After all, there is no trace of cultivation on him, but many merits and beliefs are gathered on him.

Why do I feel that this conclusion is even more terrifying.

If it weren't for my restlessness, I would really like to go home and do a divination, and figure out who the hell this is.Gautama's name is too scary, even if it is only half of the founder, the deducible result makes me subconsciously avoid it.

I was so absorbed in my thoughts that it was already lunch time when I came back to my senses.Bai Jingjing's assistant was distributing the ordered takeaways, and while sending them back, she said that this is a little heartfelt from me, and I specially thanked the staff for taking care of Bai Jingjing on weekdays.

The little assistant's true feelings made me a little stunned. Why don't I remember that I did this?

Bai Jingjing was still wearing a costume, she walked towards me with heavy make-up, and she blinked narrowly.Obviously, she did it under my banner, and she has long been a master in terms of worldly sophistication.Noon is the hottest time, and Bai Jingjing's scene has come to an end, and the next scene will be filmed in a few hours. Zhao Bo winked at me when he said this, and hinted that as long as Bai Jingjing can come back on time in the afternoon, she doesn't have to. Stay with the crew.

"My eldest niece was exhausted from hanging Wia. Let's take a good rest and recharge our spirits. Let's fight again in the afternoon." It was a normal sentence, but when Zhao Bo said it with a wink, it brought out a little Obscenity.

"Master and apprentice are **, hold on to it, gold." Zhao Bo said meanly.

Normally, I would reply a few words, but now I have something on my mind, so I can only glance at Zhao Bo, and take Bai Jingjing away.

In order to facilitate the filming of the actors and save time, the crew booked a hotel nearby, and the conditions were good or bad. Except for Bai Jingjing, who could be called traffic, all the crew were newcomers, and no one complained about this.Now is a busy time, the crew is busy on the set, and the entire floor of the hotel is very quiet.

"Master, this is my room." Bai Jingjing obediently took the key to open the door. She always winks at people, and she probably noticed something from my expression.Sure enough, when we went in and Bai Jingjing closed the door again, she looked at me worriedly, "Master, is there really something wrong with that Gotama?"

"If he was just an ordinary person, would you call me?" I looked helplessly at Bai Jingjing who was pretending to be obedient, "Sit down, I don't blame you."

"I really thought of him as an ordinary person at the beginning. Although the name is a bit taboo, it's not a big deal. It's normal for him to have an accident." Bai Jingjing sat on the sofa, "It's just that I don't see eye to eye with him. Yuan, it’s not too much trouble to send such a person away, just use a little plan. But when I use my magic power to confuse him away, I always feel palpitations. Master, you know that I don’t have a heart, and this feeling is even worse. It's like a kind of warning in the dark."

"And then?" I asked.

"I can't drive him away, so he comes to visit the class every day like a report. Although each time it's only two or three hours, I feel panicked when I'm stared at by him." Bai Jingjing patted her chest with a look of lingering fear, " I also calculated secretly in private, wanting to know his origin, but I couldn't figure it out, and my heart palpitations became worse. His seal was getting darker and darker, and I finally figured out a little sign, but it was a big culprit related to me. Master, in this world, it is unrealistic for me to follow the big murderer, but I have calculated it several times, and the result is the same every time, so I invite Master to come and have a look."

"Gautama's conditions are good, so you didn't like him?" I was curious.

Bai Jingjing shook her head, "That person makes me feel confused. Although everyone says that he is very obsessed with me, and he behaves like that, but I know it's not the same thing. The way a man looks at a woman is I know exactly what it looks like, his eyes are too clean, I am not in it at all. If he is attentive to nothing, who will rest assured?"

"Even his golden brilliance didn't move your heart?" I asked.

"Golden light of merit?" Bai Jingjing was stunned, "Where does he have golden light of merit, he is obviously a bad luck. If he had merit, I would not have tried to confuse him in the first place."

"You didn't see it?"

"Master, are you reading correctly?"

Bai Jingjing and I spoke almost at the same time, and then there was another silence.

"In my eyes, he is just an unlucky ordinary person who will bring me down." In the end, it was Bai Jingjing who spoke first.

Can the golden light of merit be hidden?Of course, but Bai Jingjing couldn't see it, but let me see it again. I suddenly had a thought in my heart, Gautama went to Bai Jingjing these days, did he really go for Bai Jingjing?

The following developments seemed to confirm my thoughts. A few days later, Bai Jingjing told me that Gotama never went to him again.Of course I know this because he came to me.

I had a good conversation with Gotama before, and we left each other's phone numbers. I didn't take it too seriously, it was just a social habit.So, when Gotama actually called, I was a little surprised and confused.

Because of Gautama, I have been drawing lotteries these days, hoping to get some hints from them, but every time I draw out only one blank lottery, there is no good or bad luck on it, which makes me wonder about his origin. More cautiously, he was hesitating whether to ask Brother Hou if there was anything else in the pagoda when they came.Before I could make up my mind, Gotama called and invited me to the tea room for tea.

Then I knew why he stared at Bai Jingjing before.

According to Gotama, he was born with the ability to seek good luck and avoid disaster. He felt that something would happen to him recently, but he had no idea. Then he met Bai Jingjing, and his intuition told him that getting close to Bai Jingjing would help him. He himself thought that he had an ambiguous affection for Bai Jingjing.But it wasn't until he saw me that he realized that Bai Jingjing wasn't the point, the point was that he could see me through Bai Jingjing.

"Me?" Although I don't have much research on tea ceremony, but now, I feel that the tea I just drank was a bit too bitter. "what can I do?"

Gotama's expression was more innocent than mine, "I don't know either, I just think I should tell you how I feel."

After staring wide-eyed for a while, I decided to pretend to be a magic stick, "Do you know your birth date?"

Gautama said it happily, and I was about to figure it out after setting up my hands, but I felt that this horoscope was a bit too familiar.

"You and I..." This is obviously my horoscope, okay?

"That's right, we were born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, and even the time is very close." Gautama said, "I believe in the past life and the present life. Maybe, we will continue the relationship in this life?"

Why do I feel it is evil?
