Chapter 32 Section 1 Comes with one thought and leaves with one thought, like a white cloud without a heel

The self-cultivation method taught by the old monk to Wu Song is called "good care" in Buddhism. If you do a good job of "good protection of thoughts", you will be able to stay undisturbed.If you stay undisturbed, you can gain great wisdom to understand the world.Buddhism also says that there are 84,000 afflictions in one thought. It can be seen that "good protection of thoughts" is easy to say, but very difficult to do. In this cold and summer, Wu Song endured his temper and spent nearly a year in the mountains and forests.On weekdays, he fetches water, chops firewood, cleans the monastery, grows vegetables in the nursery behind the monastery, and sometimes goes out to seek alms.He was originally a tiger-fighting hero, how could he live the life of an ascetic monk?Seeing that the plum blossoms bloomed and withered, and the wheat turned green and yellow, Wu Song finally decided to bid farewell to the old monk.

The old monk said: "You come here with one thought, and then go away with another thought, passing by like a white cloud, but you don't see your heels. Go! Go!" Wu Song seemed to understand what the old monk said, but he didn't seem to understand it.He left the monastery and roamed around like a white cloud.That day when he was walking on the streets of Mengzhou, someone rushed up to him, looked him up and down, and exclaimed, "It really is Brother Wu Song! Strange, how did you become like this?" Wu Song also looked at him. When the visitor arrived, it turned out to be the "vegetable garden" Zhang Qing.

The friends were very happy to meet each other, so they invited them to the tavern, asked for a clean private room, and talked about their farewell together. The air was filled with an intoxicating aroma of wine.Wu Song quit drinking for a long time, and suddenly became greedy.Zhang Qing picked up the wine jar and filled two large bowls with vehemence, ready to share it with him.Wu Song said with some embarrassment: "Brother is already a monk, and the Dharma name is the Five Precepts. The five precepts are one against killing, two against stealing, three against adultery, four against lying, and five against drinking alcohol. Although the smell of wine is charming now, how do you drink it?" "

Zhang Qing picked up the bowl and replied solemnly: "I don't care if you are a monk or a Taoist priest, I only recognize you as my brother. If you still think of me as a brother, you can drink with me This bowl of wine!" Wu Song laughed at himself and said: "I'm afraid that if this bowl of wine goes down, brother, I will become a monk of wine and meat!" Zhang Qing persuaded: "As long as the true feelings are there, what's the problem with wine and meat?" So drink first as a respect.Wu Song hesitated for a moment, and drank too.The two brothers just sat down and began to talk about their experiences.

This is Wu Song's escape, and it is the first time he talks about the sinful relationship between his sister-in-law and Ximen Qing, and his mood is very tangled.He once forced his sister-in-law to death and Ximen Qing with a sense of justice, but now it seems that he may have done a wrong thing subjectively.He often even had nightmares, dreaming that his sister-in-law and Ximen Qing came to take revenge and claim their lives.Thinking about it carefully, although my sister-in-law is coquettish, she is still a lovely woman; although Ximen Qing is hateful, she also has many merits that are worthy of recognition-in fact, if he was not so impulsive at the beginning, he might have found a better choice.

Zhang Qing listened to it, but felt it, and made a couplet.The first couplet said: "Puppy love, passionate love, extramarital love, lingering hard to let go." The second couplet said: "Boys, girls, little beasts, live forever." The horizontal comment is: "That's it!" Always entangled in a lot of right and wrong that are constantly being cut and reasoned. If you look at it from the outside, isn’t it the same thing?” Wu Song smiled bitterly and said: "It's a pity that I couldn't stay out of the matter like my brother. In a fit of anger, I committed the murder of blood splashing on the Lion Tower. I don't know when I will be free from the guilt?"

Zhang Qing said: "If you do it, you do it. How did brother become so gentle, like a woman?" Wu Song said: "You haven't seen my master, you really look like a kind old lady!" The two brothers laughed loudly and called out: "Drink! Drink!" After a few bowls of wine, Wu Song regained the blood of a tiger-fighting hero. Turning around again, I asked about Zhang Qing's story.It turned out that after Zhang Qing closed the "Mengzhou Noodle Soup Restaurant" in Tokyo, he made plans to go home, but before leaving, he met a strange woman in Goulan, and the two became very close.Speaking of which, the woman and Zhang Qing were also from the same hometown, and the two invited them back to Mengzhou together to start a business.

The so-called Goulan in the Song Dynasty is equivalent to today's theaters. There are many prostitutes who perform arts and prostitutes, and it is a place where eroticism is born.Wu Song asked strangely: "Are there also strange women in the Goulan?" Zhang Qing replied: "Heroes don't ask where they come from, so why not women? Don't underestimate your sister-in-law. She has a hot temper and a pungent style. When it comes to arrogance, she doesn't let a man down." Wu Song asked again: "My brother and his sister-in-law did a business, but why did they come to Mengzhou?"

Zhang Qing said: "The hometown of your sister-in-law and I are both in Mengzhou. I followed your sister-in-law's order and came to this street to buy some rouge powder. Brothers can travel to the south from here. The famous Shizipo. When you arrive at Shizipo, you can see a black and red courtyard. My business with your sister-in-law is there. When you go, you can see your sister-in-law's demeanor." Wu Song laughed and said, "Brother, I am now placing an order at the Guanyin Temple outside Mengzhou City. You go and do your shopping, and I will go to Shizipo to visit my brother and sister-in-law in a few days."

The two brothers met each other by high-fiving, and parted ways with a little drunkenness.There are different teachings, Wu Song has a thought, and a new chapter in life.
