Aunt Jiang is here!
Living in a temple is actually a bit inconvenient, because we need to get up together with the Taoist priests, do morning prayers together, eat together, and practice together.
This was actually a bit difficult. In fact, Uncle Ma and I were fine with getting up. However, Ma Yunfeng had difficulty getting up. The alarm clock rang several times and he would not move. In the end, I had to force him to get up because he was in bed. In temple life, one cannot stay in bed.
Everyone wakes up around five o'clock and goes about their own business. Isn't it embarrassing for you to still be sleeping under the covers? Are you embarrassed to say that you came from cultivation?
After we got up, we first washed up and then followed the Taoist priests to practice Baduanjin and exercise. At this time, the Taoist priests in the temple would have someone sweep the courtyard and offer tea and incense. Then it was time for morning classes.
In Taoist morning classes, the first step is to sing the rhymes of the sutras. The rhymes of the Quanzhen sutras are very nice, but I can’t quite understand them.
Then I have to recite the Eight Great Divine Mantras. I can do this. Although I can’t memorize it, I can just read it according to it.
Next, I had to recite the Taishang Laojun's Chang Qingjing Sutra and other scriptures, as well as various precious edicts. I followed the gourd and painted the ladle. Although I was confused and couldn't keep up, I felt this. This kind of atmosphere makes me feel very calm and peaceful inside, and I feel a little bit overjoyed.
However, during the morning class break, Ma Yunfeng suddenly called me and said he had something fun to do. I followed him out in confusion, and then came to the side of the hall.
This Taoist temple is built in the mountains. There is a mountain forest on one side of the main hall, and there is a large stone platform outside the wall.
But at this moment, there were more than a dozen foxes on the stone, with various fur colors, standing or sitting, and they were all very quiet, as if they were listening to the scriptures!
I couldn't help but be shocked. I had only seen this kind of scene on TV or in novels before. I didn't expect it to actually happen in reality!
Looking at these foxes, I felt an indescribable joy in my heart, because at this moment I could also feel that the immortals following me were listening to the scriptures and listening to the Dharma just like them.
It's just that the immortals have experienced hundreds of years before they attained the Tao and developed their skills. At this time, the foxes in front of them, although they don't know their age, all have a heart for the Tao.
Let me tell you from my heart, if you also see such a scene, and see a dozen foxes gathered outside the Taoist temple to listen to the scriptures devoutly, you will spontaneously have a mentality of the natural harmony of heaven and earth, and you will simply not be able to put it into perspective. Treat them as aliens, let alone "demon".
Everything in heaven and earth has spirits, and everyone has the right to practice. Why can human beings be so superior and call others monsters?
As everyone knows, some people are unscrupulous and not as affectionate and righteous as "demon".
Uncle Ma once said that many people in the world are against Chuma Immortals, but don’t you know that those who should really be opposed should be those unscrupulous Chuma Immortals and some evil immortals who do not follow the right path.
But people like these who get up early in the morning and listen to the sutras outside the temple are really endearing and distressing. I can't help but want to go over and hug them and touch them.
Of course, I wouldn't disturb them, so I just looked at them from a distance for a moment, sighed in my heart, and then returned to the main hall.
After the morning class was over, I told the temple leader about foxes listening to scriptures. The temple leader had long been accustomed to it and told us with a smile. In fact, these foxes come almost every day, and sometimes they are not only foxes, but also other animals. .
However, he would never drive them away or stop them, because all things in the world are the same. As long as there is a heart towards the Tao, animals can also practice cultivation.
At this point, everyone must think that the mysterious thing I am talking about is the fox listening to the scriptures, right?
No, actually this is just the beginning.
What I want to say next is the main text.
By the way, after we had our morning classes, the foxes dispersed one after another, and then it was breakfast time.
The breakfast was actually very rich. The white flour buns were freshly steamed and fragrant. Ma Yunfeng ate six of them in one go.
Even Uncle Ma couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Can you be a little more profound? Why are you just taking advantage of me?"
Ma Yunfeng stuffed the buns in his mouth and said unconvinced: "What's wrong with me eating a few buns? Don't we have to pay for food?"
Uncle Ma glared: "You have to be careful when paying for food. Don't embarrass me. Eat six buns in one meal and make people laugh if you tell me."
I added: "It's not good. When people talk about it in the future, the apprentice named Ma led by Taoist Master Ma is like a slut, eating to death. How embarrassing."
Ma Yunfeng retorted: "Bah, you still have the nerve to accuse me, you've already eaten your fifth one, don't think I didn't see it!"
We made a fuss here for a while, and the visitor saw it and brought us another plate of big buns with a smile.
"Don't be polite. Eat to your heart's content. Young people, eat more and grow strong. You are all the reserve army for promoting Taoist culture in the future."
In this way, each of us ate two more steamed buns, and then the ditch was full. We burped comfortably and started the day's activities.
In fact, I didn't do much. I just ran around with the Taoist priests, helped with some work, took a walk, read scriptures, and when I was free, I just looked at the pilgrims who came to offer incense. They were all kinds of people, and they were all things in the world.
But among these pilgrims, I noticed two obviously different people.
These two people were a man and a woman. The man was about thirty, with a handsome appearance and a dog-like appearance. He looked about 1.78 meters tall, if not 1.8 meters tall.
When I say he's a bitch, I don't mean to dismiss him, but because he looks gentle and looks like a good person, but his face and eyes all reveal that he is a cunning person.
Looking at the woman next to him, she was probably in her thirties, holding the man's arm, almost touching her face, following the man's steps, as if she didn't want to separate for a second.
This kind of girl is love-savvy at first glance, and she is so controlled by men that even if she is sold, she has to count the money for them.
In fact, another reason why I paid attention to these two people is that the woman wore heavy makeup, a foxy face, and a low-cut suspender skirt, exposing a piece of white flesh. She was cool and good-looking, but this is a Taoist temple. , it is very bad to dress up like this.
I poked Ma Yunfeng, then pointed at the man and woman, and quietly expressed my opinion.
Ma Yunfeng looked up, gave me a toothy smile, and said that your eyes are good, you can spot any beautiful woman.
I said, can you change your focus? Do I want you to look at beautiful women? I am telling you about the characteristics of these two people, and this woman is dressed like this, plastered like that, with her shoulders and head exposed, and her head twisted. Hip crotch axis, I'm afraid this is disrespectful to the gods!
