Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Guarding the Village

But She Shiyun showed an obsessed look at this time, and said: "Master Jing Yuan, is your heart really so strong? So strong that even external things can't interfere with you?" The old monk Jingyuan said: "It's not that my heart is strong, it's that I can advance and retreat freely in the two worlds of the outside and the inside. This has nothing to do with the strength you mentioned. The strength of the heart you mentioned is in the consciousness. Even if it is in conflict with the external world, I still haven't found a harmonious point of balance, haha... And the kind of inner freedom and freedom I mentioned is harmonious and unified with the external world, and there is no barrier. Therefore, What you said is already very different from the world I practiced in."

She Shiyun's brows were tightly frowned, and she seemed a little impatient and said to the old monk Jingyuan: "I know what you are talking about is actually a state of inner peace. In fact, I have always wanted to achieve this state, so I I voluntarily live this kind of lonely life in the mountains. However, I often experience loneliness, loneliness and sadness, and rarely experience the kind of transcendent happiness. So sometimes I am really confused. In fact, I grew up in a bustling big city, but now I am very repulsed by the outside world. I know that I have a heart disease in my heart, and it is difficult to heal, so I really want to get your advice .”

The old monk in Jingyuan glanced at She Shiyun, stood up, and said, "It's hard to say, there is a predestined relationship between you and Buddhism. It depends on whether you have a real predestined relationship with Buddhism. Just like this Zhang Weichang, who followed his Lao Tzu since he was a child." Rolling around in my monastery, it turns out that at such an advanced age, I don’t have any Buddha’s disposition. Hehe... This is the lack of predestined relationship." Master Zhang Yao heard that the old monk Jingyuan started talking about him again, and said very unconvinced: "Old monk Jingyuan, don't keep using me as a dragon. I liked playing in your dilapidated temple a while ago because of your There are a group of mischievous monkeys in the ruined temple, and I get along with them better. Otherwise, I wouldn’t care to go to your ruined temple. Just two bald monks, what’s the fun? Do you know , I also carried a piece of the door panel of your meditation room and made it the door panel of Seventh Aunt’s house. Speaking of which, I am one of the people who demolished your ruined temple! Hehe..."

The old monk Jingyuan didn't care about Zhang Yaoye's words at all, maybe he was too familiar with Zhang Yaoye's temperament, and said: "Zhang Weichang! Do you really regard you as a great person? Take it apart. Even if the door panel of the Zen room is torn down my temple? You think the temple where my monk lives is too unreasonable? Tell you, you have never seen anyone who can tear down the temple where I live .That's a man of the sky. Who are you?" Zhang Yaoye said: "You've put up some Longmen formations that I don't understand to numb me. I don't know the rebels who demolished your temple? In fact, I'm waiting for them to smash what they should have done, and to tear it down. After the demolition was finished, I went to carry the door panel. To be honest, those rebels were really willing to waste things. Many things could be taken home and used as furniture. In the end, there were still a few The hammer, a few axes and a fire were dealt with. Only the door panel that was knocked down became a fish that slipped through the net, and the Seventh Aunt's house happened to be missing a door panel, so I carried it back and took the Seventh Aunt's house. The rotten door made of bamboo strips has been replaced. You don’t blame me, do you?”

The old monk Jingyuan laughed and said: "How could I blame you Zhang Weichang! I have to thank you Zhang Weichang!" "Thank me? Thank you for what?" "At least one door panel of Jingwu Temple is protected by you!" Master Zhang Yao suddenly realized "Oh", and said with a smile: "You old monk, you are not mocking me again by saying this? I am an honest kidnapper, don't beat around the bush and burn me!" The old monk Jingyuan smiled and said: "Zhang Weichang, you see my Jingyuan too badly!" Master Zhang Yao laughed again. At this moment, Duo Gun, who had been lying on the grass all this time, opened his eyes and didn't move. He was still lying upright, staring straight at the sky as if his eyes were fixed.The sky is high and empty, and a kite is circling above it.

A gunman saw that Duo Roll's eyes had opened, but there was no sign of the eyeballs turning in the slightest. He was very surprised, so he walked over, stretched out his hand, and shook it tentatively in front of Duo Roll's eyes. The gunman's hand was open. The gunman let out a long breath and said, "Wake up." An extra carp stood up straight, looked at the people around, and said, "Are you all right?" The gunmen shook their heads at him and said, "It's been fine for a long time, just wait for you to wake up." "Where's the mountain god?"

"gone." Duo Gun looked into the forest in disbelief.The forest was calm and quiet, without any movement. Riwobuji said at this time: "It seems that there is nothing going on here, let's hurry up, and it is best to get to Woniu Village before dark today." Duogun said to Riwobuji: "We really can't go with you. If we go with you, the stockade will be empty. We have to go back to guard the stockade." Riwobuji said, "We have made an agreement. Grandma Thorpe also agreed." "But Grandma Thorpe didn't know that a group of unidentified people who shot poisonous arrows at us came to the village." Duo Gun said.

Riwobuji still wanted to speak, but the old monk Jingyuan said at this time: "Duo Gou is right to say this. They really can't follow you out of their stockade. The people in the stockade need their protection. Their duty is to Protect their stronghold." Riwobuji said, "However, if only we, the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled go back to Woniu Village, I'm afraid it won't be of much use at that time." The old monk Jingyuan said: "Don't worry so much. My old monk has already returned to Woniu Village with you. What else do you have to worry about? You can't trust me as an old monk? Besides, you take them to Woniu Village with you. , maybe it will make things more troublesome."

Riwobuji was a little helpless, and said, "Then how many of us will go on the road?" The old monk Jingyuan said: "Enough is enough. It is useless to have too many people. It is not to go back to fight." Then he turned to Duogun and said, "Duogun, let's break up here. You take your people and go back to the village. But you Remember, you just need to hold on to the village and nothing will happen. Those who shoot poisonous arrows at you are very strange. It is best to wait for me to come back from Woniu Village, and then we can discuss how to deal with them Way, okay?"

Duo Gun said: "I listen to the teacher." The old monk Jingyuan clasped his hands together and said, "A-Mi-Tuo-Buddha-you go back." Duo Roll took his men with him, and the gunman who was shot dead by a poisoned arrow on his back disappeared behind a bush not far away.
