Talk about the world of mortals in detail

Chapter 171 Exegesis and Preaching

As soon as we entered the mountain, the old horse started running wildly in the mountain.

Although the dense mountain forest is not suitable for horses to run, it is obviously not a big obstacle to this old horse, and it can run with flying hooves.

If the owner of the old horse saw this situation, he would definitely not dare to recognize it as his own horse.

Hui Mian ran with the old horse for a long time, then suddenly thought of something and said something to the old horse.

"You go find them first, I'll go somewhere, and I'll come find you when I come back."

After saying that, Hui Mian rushed out. As the teacher said, although Yanshan is not a famous mountain, it is not small either. It needs to speed up.

Hui Mian can still roughly feel where he was with his husband in the mountains. It was a mountainous area close to the Grand Canal, but now it is on the other side, not too close.

After traveling a long way up the mountain road, Hui Mian finally found the cliff and the broken house.

"Hehe, it is indeed here!"

Hui Mian smiled and ran to the front of the house. A mountain ghost who was sitting there was slightly startled by its voice. He opened his eyes and looked outside the house and found a small marten parked there.

With just one glance, the mountain ghost recognized the mink, and his strange face immediately showed joy. He quickly got down from the stone and kept saluting the little mink outside.

"Ooooh, ooh!"

The mountain ghost cannot speak human language yet, and only makes various strange noises from its mouth.

Hui Mian was very satisfied with the respect shown by the mountain ghost.

"Well, I guess you are right, sir, but don't say that I am eating so much for nothing and not taking care of you. I will have the opportunity to listen to my husband's sermon on the Bible in the deserted house on the other side of the mountain tomorrow night. Don't miss it!"

"Do you know where that is? Where there is a small temple and a clay Buddha!"

The mountain ghost hesitated for a moment and seemed a little scared, but still nodded.

"Well, it's good to know. It saves me the trouble. Then I'll leave first. Remember to come tomorrow. No later than midnight at the latest. I'm leaving!"

After saying this, Hui Mian left in a rage.

——

When Hui Mian and Lao Ma returned to the yard, it was already before dawn. Ma returned to the broken house. Hui Mian also slipped into another room through the crack in the door and returned to Yi Shuyuan.

In the early morning, several people who had been resting in the house also woke up one after another.

Of course, the first person to get up was the coachman. After he had already gone out to clean up, Chu Hang went out to relieve himself. He walked to the shabby house and peed outside the fence. He looked inside the shabby house and shouted to the coachman.

"Brother, you haven't tied the reins to your horse yet. Are you afraid it will run away?"

The coachman was checking the axle and other things over there. He didn't go over after hearing this, so he answered Chu Hang.

"The hitch must be tight. Maybe it accidentally broke free at night. Don't worry, my horse has been following me for so many years. It won't run away. Even if it gets lost, I can find it home."

Chu Hang looked at the old horse who was chewing something unknown.

"so smart?"

Yang Bencai and Yi Shuyuan also came out of the house one after another. The former stretched after yawning and asked the coachman about his schedule today.

"Brother, where can we go today? We should be able to get to a place with a normal bed, right?"

The coachman grinned, revealing yellowed teeth.

"We can definitely reach the inn, but we came out late yesterday and walked halfway. If we work hard all day today, we can still walk a lot after the inn, but we will most likely have to sleep in the wilderness again."

When he heard that he had to sleep in the wilderness again, Yang Bencai didn't care. Just as he had told Yi Shuyuan on the boat, he often slept in the wilderness and carried a kitchen knife with him.

But Chu Hang was a little unhappy.

"No, no, then I have to stay at the inn for one night today, so that tomorrow's schedule will be suitable."

What Chu Hang said makes sense. Otherwise, it would be too early to arrive at the inn every day, and he would not be able to reach the next stop if he hurried on. Then he would simply walk less today and feel better in the next few days.

"Anyway, you have the final say. Let us go on our way as we please!"

The driver is also easy to talk to. As long as he pays a lot for the taxi, he is comfortable without having to hurry.

Yi Shuyuan didn't say much. He carried the wooden bucket hanging on the carriage and went to the foot of the mountain to collect spring water for everyone to wash and drink.

Then the carriage and horses were set up, and everyone got on the carriage. The coachman drove the old horse and led everyone away from this place to rest for the night.

When they arrived at the inn, it was just afternoon. Since they had already decided to walk so much today, the group stayed directly at the inn.

This inn is not small, but because the busy season for this official road is often the season after the grain harvest, it is somewhat free in spring and has many houses.

Everyone went to bed earlier today, and the inn was quiet after nightfall.

At this moment, Yi Shuyuan got up from the bed, opened the window and looked outside, then turned into a breeze and left the inn, flying to the old house at the foot of the mountain where he had stayed before.

Also taken away by Yi Shuyuan was the old horse.

This was also the first time for the old horse to fly, or maybe it had never thought that it could fly. It was so excited and scared in the sky that it made Hui Mian laugh non-stop.

When we arrived at the broken house, it was still quiet here. After all, it was still very early before the appointed time.

Obviously, no one is staying here tonight.

Yi Shuyuan walked to the small temple that was completely ordinary at this moment, bowed his hands towards the Clay Bodhisattva that no longer had anything special, and then naturally sat cross-legged on the edge of the small temple and began to practice with his eyes closed.

The spiritual energy in the mountains is gathering here faintly. Yi Shuyuan's face is calm, causing the energy of heaven and earth to gather and not be collected. It can be regarded as a final gift to the non-human sentient beings who come here to listen to the scriptures on behalf of the Clay Bodhisattva.

Lao Ma lay quietly in front of the temple and did not dare to disturb him.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky. Perhaps because of the bright moonlight, there are still people on the official road using the moonlight to travel.

Yi Shuyuan's location was close to the foot of the mountain, but in fact it was only a few dozen feet away from the official road.

Among the passing teams of horses and carriages, some people were looking from horseback, and could vaguely see someone sitting in an abandoned house at the foot of the mountain, but no one bothered to check.

As the time approached midnight, there was a "whispering sound", and some mountain animals appeared one after another. Some of them had been here the night before, and some were not here last night.

These mountain animals cautiously arrived outside the fence, looking at the temple in the courtyard and the man sitting cross-legged beside the temple, and seemed to hesitate.

But at this moment, the old horse stood up and snorted and neighed, and a deer jumped into the fence first and came over carefully with its hoofs.

Seeing that the deer was fine, some animals soon entered the fenced yard one after another, crawling or jumping.

The mountain ghost arrived relatively late. It was carrying a piece of dead wood. Most of the woody layer inside the wood had been hollowed out, but it was now filled with things, including roots of wild fruits in the mountains and some herbs or vegetation.

Seeing the mountain ghost coming, many animals showed obvious fear, and even some animals that had been lying near the small temple moved out of the way.

It's not that the mountain ghosts will harm them, but that these animals, like people, are also afraid of weird and scary things.

The mountain ghost did not dare to make a sound and carefully put down the dead wood in front of Yi Shuyuan. This arrangement was like a large offering table in front of the temple, and it was also filled with tributes.

Then Shan Gui took out another porcelain bowl, lowered his body and carefully approached Yi Shuyuan. After placing the bowl in front of him, he immediately took a few steps back and knelt down at a suitable distance.

After this, the commotion of other animals quickly calmed down.

Yi Shuyuan opened his eyes and looked down at the bowl next to him. He couldn't help but feel a little funny. It looked like he was a beggar. He put the bowl in his sleeve and looked around.

"The Bodhisattva has left. Today, Yi will explain the scriptures to you on behalf of the Bodhisattva!"

Yi Shuyuan's expression was calm with a hint of a smile, and his aura affected the surroundings, making the animals who were originally somewhat uneasy naturally calm down.

"What you couldn't hear clearly in the past can be heard clearly today. What you couldn't understand in the past, I will try my best to explain to you today. If you heard half of it in the past and had a headache, I will also help you today. From tonight After that, you don’t have to come here to listen to the scriptures anymore.”

The relic appeared in Yi Shuyuan's hand. He held it in his hand and combined it with yesterday's memory to understand the essence of the Buddhist scriptures.

Scanning the surroundings again, there are a total of sixteen large and small animals that have activated their intelligence, as well as one mountain ghost.

In the future, perhaps some of them will die from thunder on the way, or some will directly die from Orion's bows and arrows or traps, or be involved in some other disasters and die on the way.

But Yi Shuyuan also hopes that some of them can achieve some success, and maybe we can meet again one day.

But with this thought, Yi Shuyuan's face became a little serious.

"Although this predestined relationship originated from the Bodhisattva here, after tonight, Yi will be considered to be predestined with you. If I let me know who among you has become an evil spirit in the future, I will not spare him, but I will write it down. ?”

All the animals and mountain ghosts kowtowed to Yi Shuyuan. Although there was no sound, it was considered a response.

Yi Shuyuan nodded, brewing in his heart for a moment, trying his best to integrate his thoughts and emotions into the feeling of last night. The moment he opened his mouth again, the scriptures had reappeared from his mouth.

This time, the sound of the scriptures was calm and clear, reaching the ears of all the animals and mountain ghosts present.

This time, the scriptures were also deafening and enlightening, as if they could go straight into the heart, but the listener could hear them completely. Even though the head was still a little swollen, there was not much pain, as if a clear spring had been pouring on the top of the head.

Yi Shuyuan finished reading the scripture once and then began to explain.

Although Yi Shuyuan has little research on Buddhist scriptures, he does not need to explain it completely according to Buddhist principles. The principles of immortality and the principles of life and work can also be used to solve doubts.

The fundamental purpose is to establish a correct concept of practice for these immature practitioners in front of us, and to establish a suitable goal for them so that they will not fly around like headless flies.

"Those who practice virtue will be close to others. Even if they are monsters and monsters, if they practice with a righteous mind, virtue will arise on their own and will not be inferior to others! If the mind is righteous, the spirit will be bright, and if the spirit is bright, the spirit will appear."

"This god is not a god of heaven and earth, but the foundation of enlightenment for us practitioners. It can replace wisdom. It also means self-clarification, which means observing the body at ease. Since the heart is clear, there is naturally no fear. If you practice in this way, you will naturally As the Tao progresses day by day, there will naturally be no evil, neither evil in the body nor evil outside the body."

Yi Shuyuan's narration is based on both Buddhist principles and his own understanding of the immortal way. Even so, the animals and mountain ghosts present cannot fully understand it. However, they all know that this opportunity is extremely rare. Even if they cannot understand everything, they try to understand it as much as possible. remember.

Compared to usual, today's listening to scriptures and sermons continued for a long time. It was not until almost two hours later that Yi Shuyuan stopped. The listeners around him had also reached the limit of what they could bear.

Yi Shuyuan took out the gourd and uncorked the bottle, and all the fruits, roots and herbs among the dead wood flew into the gourd.

"Okay, the fate is over, you can go away and practice well from now on so that you can take care of yourself!"

After saying this, Yi Shuyuan had already stood up. Seeing this, the surrounding animals and the mountain ghost suddenly understood that he was leaving, and they all knelt down and worshiped together.

Yi Shuyuan took another look, then the wind blew under his feet, and he flew towards the inn with Hui Mian and the old horse.
