Chapter 60 (5) Plan to travel south

At that moment, Zhen Jia Eryu looked at the picture scroll of listening to the flute at the top of the red-sleeved building.Jia Baoyu couldn't help being very surprised again, and asked him how he got it?Yin sighed again: "My dear brother, do you know that this painting was painted by my cousin Shi Da in my dream. It is exactly what I saw in my dream. It seems that what happened today is very strange. Maybe it will be painted in the future." Some fulfillment is unknown. Now that I have met my dear brother and got information about my cousin, I am determined to go to the south of the Yangtze River and find out her whereabouts."

The two discussed again.Zhen Yu then said: "Brother Jia, you are a monk now, and you have no financial means, and there is no powerful family in the south of the Yangtze River to help you. If you want to save cousin Ling, you can't do it with empty words, you need a real plan." Jia Yu made sense, because he said that tomorrow I will go to the city to find my friend to arrange. Zhen Yu wrote down her address in Jinling, and said: "When you arrive in Nanjing, come to me at this address, and I will try my best to help you." After that, he smiled and said: "The painting is really beautiful, but it is only signed with the word "Love Monk." , I can’t understand it—I’ve heard that Buddhism has to cut off emotion, just because emotion is the source of troubles. How can a person who leaves home and practice be called a love monk? Doesn’t it just go against the purpose of the Buddhism? Please break through the ignorance, brother. "

Jia Yu also laughed when he heard the words: "My brother is so stupid! When the Tathagata World Honored One was ruthless back then, how could he suffer for the sake of all living beings? The Buddha talks about great mercy, and I think he is the most affectionate saint in the world since ancient times. I This monk was originally not for the purpose of eating fast and chanting scriptures, but for the purpose of cultivating this compassionate emotional realm. My brother thinks that the name is a monk of love, and Fang Qi is the true heart of the Buddha. What does my brother mean?" Zhen Yu nodded and said nothing, and heard him say again: "In my opinion, women are the only ones who suffer the most in the world. If you want to be merciful, you must save women first, and only then will you gain the Buddha's heart."

Hearing this sentence, Zhen Yu couldn't help sighing: "So, Brother Fang Wu Jia, you decided to go south to save your cousin Ling because of your great compassion and compassion, and it's not for your own sake. It's a pity—" Jia Yu hurriedly asked: "What a pity?" Zhen Yu answered blindly: "It's a pity!——It's a pity how the common people in the world know that you have such a high spirit, I'm afraid they will call you crazy and foolish, wouldn't it be a pity pity!" Jia Yuyin laughed again and said, "To tell you the truth, I have become a monk here under the guise of a name, but I am hiding from others. In fact, I have not shaved my hair, and I do not participate in rituals and sit in meditation. There are no eminent monks and great virtues here to worship as teachers. I often think, where in the world is there an eminent person who created a religion called "Emotional Teaching" to save sentient beings with true feelings, righteousness, and compassion. I must go for conversion. !"

After hearing this, Zhen Yu was silent for a long time, stood up and bowed deeply, with words of prayer in her mouth, and then said: "The ancients said that "Spring and Autumn" was completed and Linfeng arrived. There is no need to talk about "Spring and Autumn", Linfeng It's not far away!" But Jia Yu repeatedly thanked him and said, "My dear brother, why did you forget that there are two lines in Tang poetry: 'Sighing at the phoenix's body, and sighing at the poorness of the wounded scales'." According to my little brother's humble opinion, the Master said, 'Only women and villains are difficult to raise', but he has never realized that women's talents, virtues, wisdom and courage are better than men's. Maybe those words came out of a sudden impulse, right?" Zhen Yu stroked her hands. He laughed loudly and said, "Brother Jia, seeing once is as good as hearing a hundred times. No wonder it is said that brother is a crazy and grotesque person. I think Du Shaoling said that Li Taibai is 'everyone in the world wants to kill, but I only feel sorry for him'." Weeping bitterly! ——If there is a founder of Qingjiao in the world, he will be slandered as heresy by the lay people, and he will be destroyed soon. Most of them are wronged."

Jia Yu sighed, "That's exactly what he said. Like my sister-in-law Wang Xifeng, why not? Mr. Yucun, the teacher of the Lingye, used to say that people who have both good and evil endowments are the most rare talents. They are all covered up by slight flaws." Dayu, being infamously slandered by common people for thousands of years, is really sad and indescribable. I don’t dare to say more about Yucun’s personality, but his great opinion is rare, and it’s very precious!” Zhen Yu then said that the meaning of "Loving Monk" has been explained, but I don't know what the meaning of the two sentences "green coir" and "red sleeve" inscribed on the painting is?

Jia Yu replied: "If you mention this poem, it will be too much to say. Today, I just tell my brother that it was written by a woman of my relatives. She is also surnamed Zhen in Jinling. It is very unfortunate that she was kidnapped and sold by bad people and made a maid. Her poem fits my dream, so I wrote it here. It’s a pity that talents are born in heaven and earth, but they treat them so poorly. Please take this painting with you Going back to Jiangnan will be useful in the future." The two of them had already decided on a plan, so they had to split up and make their own arrangements, and then they would meet again in Jinling soon.
