But, I was a little curious, so I told Shen Xing that I have experienced a lot over the years and met many so-called practitioners, but only three of them impressed me deeply, or were relatively special.
The first person was Uncle Ma. He always wanted to go to the second floor of the sauna and KTV to kill demons and monsters. A few days ago, he even had sex with people all over the world...
Sometimes his head is full of money and he is calculating to the core. Sometimes he treats money like dung. He talks about building temples without blinking an eye... Ah, I take back that last sentence. He treats other people's money like dung. , all the money spent on building the temple is my money!
In short, Uncle Ma is a vegetarian, he seems to be a philistine, but he is also very wise. He said that wine and meat passed through the intestines and stayed in the heart of the Buddha, so he never cared about these details.
Don't tell me that he is a vegetarian on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. Every time I serve roast chicken and pig's trotters on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, he won't be happy if he eats less!
The second person is Taoist Liang, whom I have met once in Zhongnan Mountain. This Taoist’s theories are unconventional, and he has his own opinions on life, practice, and Buddhism. The last brief chat was an eye-opener for me.
The third person is Shen Xing. Shen Xing also went to nightclubs before to slay demons, but he really slayed demons and slayed demons. He caught demons and succumbed ghosts. He was not like Uncle Ma...
And Shen Xing is a very strange person. He can stick to his heart in any situation. No matter how bad the environment is, it will not interfere with him. He is obviously a person with great ability, but he is not arrogant or looks down on nightclubs. The bartender will not look down on the small vendors walking in the streets. He is even a small vendor himself - with a mobile phone film.
He also has no prejudices against sects. He will not look down on Cuma Immortal like some Taoist priests, nor will he look down on those animal spirits who work hard to practice.
Apart from anything else, a group of us ate butchered vegetables, and he stuck to his original intention of being a vegetarian. He could eat sauerkraut and potatoes alone, and he could eat them leisurely and happily. In the end, he could influence us to eat with him.
Although there are many practitioners in this world, those like him are really rare.
So I am very curious. Uncle Ma said that wine and meat passed through the intestines and remained in the heart of the Buddha, but Shen Xing said that practitioners should stick to their true intentions and not be confused by this colorful world.
So, which of the two of them is the right way to practice?
Regarding my question, Shen Xing was very serious. He said, Xiaofan, you must not be troubled by these superficial things. Uncle Ma said that wine and meat passed through the intestines, and the Buddha stayed in his heart. However, there are two sentences behind this sentence: If people in the world imitate me, it will be like entering the path of the devil.
This sentence comes from the mouth of Jigong. Jigong has supernatural powers, and what he does is to save all sentient beings. Therefore, what he means by this sentence is: My way of practice is a case study, and everyone cannot learn from me. Because you, a mere mortal, do not have magical powers. If you imitate me and do this, you will fall into hell.
Nowadays, many people only know the first two sentences and use them to find excuses for their laissez-faire. In fact, they also ate the meat and wine, and the Buddha did not keep it.
As an ordinary person, if he does not have a solid belief in his heart, does not have deep Taoist skills, and cannot keep the bottom line of his faith, then he will indulge himself and go down the wrong path.
Therefore, even if Uncle Ma can say the sentence "The meat and wine have passed through the intestines, the Buddha will remain in the heart", it is because he has reached that realm and level and can do whatever he wants without being disturbed by any demonic obstacles. Bayi Chinese website
For example, a world-class piano master can read the music score or not. He is completely free and unrestrained. Even if he plays blindly with his eyes closed, he can play a very beautiful melody.
But if ordinary people play blindly, they will never learn the piano. They must practice according to the score conscientiously. When they reach a certain level, they can do whatever they want.
Hearing what Shen Xing said, I couldn't help but ask him again, since he sticks to his heart so much now, does that mean his realm is not as good as Uncle Ma?
In fact, my question is a bit redundant. In my opinion, Shen Xing's level should not be lower than Uncle Ma's. It's just that the two people's personalities and cultivation methods are different.
Shen Xing smiled and said: "I am definitely not as good as Uncle Ma. He has experienced too much and has taken everything lightly. But I am still young and my concentration may not be that deep. If I can't stick to my heart, I will say You may be easily confused on certain days, so going vegetarian on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year is a small persistence I give myself, and it is also a way to remind myself all the time.”
I was amazed and said to him: "I think you are almost hard-hearted, how can you still be deceived? You are not tempted even if the rich woman holds 500,000 yuan."
Shen Xing said: "Don't mention it, I was a little tempted at the time. If she had given her one million, maybe I would have accepted it..."
I laughed loudly: "Then you are much better than Uncle Ma. He has to run away with someone if he has 100,000 yuan. Hahahahaha...that's not right. I may have said too much...ah sneeze!"
As I was talking, I sneezed hard, and I don’t know if Uncle Ma knew it and was scolding me.
All in all, Shen Xing is really amazing. Even though he is always penniless, he brought back two thousand for me on the first day and three thousand on the second day.
It took two days and five thousand yuan to get it done.
I'm just curious, where did he get the money?
At the same time, Lao Li Tou was also surprisingly quick, and all the villages agreed to build the temple, because on the night we said we were going to build the temple, many villagers had a strange dream, dreaming that the Earth God sent people Told them they needed to repair the house...
So when Lao Li first talked about building the temple, several villages had no objection at all, especially after they heard that someone wanted to donate 10,000 yuan to build the temple, they agreed even more.
So, I took out 5,000 yuan and put it together with Shen Xing's, which was exactly 10,000 yuan, and donated it as the start-up capital for the temple construction.
Then Lao Litou told us that the village calculated that the total cost of building this earth temple was more than 10,000 yuan, which is enough. After all, such a small temple does not need to be too luxurious, and it only covers an area of more than ten meters. .
As for Li Daguo's appointment as a temple priest, everyone agreed on it because everyone knew about his bizarre experience.
Of course, I don’t care about building houses for the temple. It probably won’t cost much, so I’ll just let a few villages do it.
On the day when the temple site was surveyed, Shen Xing and I both went there. It was quite a grand ceremony. The village chiefs and respected old people from several villages were there. After careful planning, we had another meal of butchered vegetables...
Even if this matter comes to an end here, we don’t need to worry about the subsequent temple construction project. We just need to wait and come to check it out when the construction is completed.
My heart finally calmed down. I just had nothing to do today, so Shen Xing and I had barbecue at Cao Jun's restaurant.
July 15th has passed, and Shen Xing can also eat meat. While the two of us were making skewers, I asked Shen Xing, what was going on when he said he was helping an old man find a coffin lid in the mountains?
Shen Xing said that it was all trivial and not worth mentioning. There is nothing to do today anyway. I might as well take you to meet the person who helped me earn five thousand yuan.
My curiosity arose again, and I said okay, okay, who is this person?
Shen Xing looked around and saw that there was no one around. He stood up and lay next to my ear, whispering a few words.
"This person is...the Third Prince Nezha!"
