Thinking of this, he looked at Fang Zheng with awe in his eyes, but said nothing and went down the mountain with the bucket without any urging from Fang Zheng.
The monkey scratched his head, stood at the door, looked at Zhou Wu who ran all the way down the mountain, and asked Fang Zheng curiously: "Master, is this guy too active? Isn't he just sneaking around and running away with our bucket?
?That’s the only big barrel we have.”
Fang Zheng was stunned. Thinking about it, this bucket was really valuable. However, thinking of Zhou Wu, he smiled and shook his head and said, "He won't. He will get more energetic the harder he works."
"Really or not..." Monkey didn't believe it, so he squatted at the door and waited. He wanted to see how many buckets this man could insist on picking.
This time, General Zhou filled up both buckets of water, gritted his teeth, carried it up the mountain, and poured it into the Buddha vat. Then he immediately looked at the Buddha vat. Sure enough, another black mole on his face was missing, just as big as his little fingernail.
, two full buckets of water can eliminate a mole the size of a small fingernail! Half a bucket can eliminate a mole the size of half a fingernail.
After figuring everything out, Zhou Wu, who was originally tired and felt like he couldn't use his legs and feet, immediately regained his energy and rushed out without saying a word, carrying the bucket. That speed could bring a gust of wind.
The monkey scratched his head and muttered: "Is carrying water really addictive? No?"
As time went by, villagers began to go up the mountain, some came to dig bamboo shoots, and some came to worship Buddha. However, when they saw Zhou Wu, everyone’s eyes suddenly became strange. Zhou Wu, no one
It has long been spread that he is a stranger, digs bamboo randomly, and develops black moles on his face.
Suddenly they saw Zhou Wu carrying water up and down the mountain. Everyone looked at each other and discussed quietly.
"You see, it's this guy. He was very aggressive yesterday, but today he came to fetch water obediently. Tsk tsk... Look at that black hair on his face, it's retribution."
"What people do, God is watching. Doing less immoral things is the right thing to do."
"There is a god in your head, and you have to be responsible for everything you do..."
When Zhou Wu heard this, his old face turned blue and red. Fortunately, the black moles and hair on his face made it invisible to others. Zhou Wu had the intention to go back, but when he thought about the consequences of his previous cruelty, he gave up completely.
The thought came to mind. Carry water honestly and pretend that you didn’t hear anything others said.
Ge Yan at the foot of the mountain waited with her children for a long time but did not see Zhou Wu coming down the mountain. Finally she couldn't bear it anymore and took her children to the mountain to look for someone. On the way, she saw Zhou Wu diving. Ge Yan suddenly became anxious and shouted: "
Lao Zhou, what are you doing? Why are you still stirring up water?"
Zhou Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I think so? Look at my face, is there any change?"
Ge Yan came up to take a look and said in surprise: "There are fewer moles!"
Zhou Wudao: "Yes, if I pick a bucket of water to go up the mountain, the moles will be less. Do you think I can pick this water?"
"But... isn't this too tiring?" Ge Yan looked at the big bucket and said distressedly.
"Tired? Just be tired. I've been going up and down the mountain many times. I've thought about it for a long time. I've figured out everything I hadn't thought of before or couldn't figure out. What do you think I did yesterday? Dig it out.
It's just a bamboo shoot, why bother with such a thing? Yesterday, I met such a monk with just a black mole. What if I meet someone I can't afford to offend now? What if the person with this magical power is not a monk but a black mole?
A murderer, most of us will die now without knowing how. Brother has said before that I have to change my temper. If I continue to fool around like this, even if I have some wealth in the past, I won't be able to survive for long. Ge Yan, what do you think?
I think so, am I a bit cowardly, a bit like a grandson? Not a man anymore?" After saying that, Zhou Wu hurried down the mountain.
Ge Yan looked at Zhou Wu's back and suddenly realized that this man was a bit strange, but...she found that she liked him even more!
So Ge Yan hugged Zhou Wenwu and chased after him, saying: "Old Zhou, I found that you are acting more manly today! I am also at fault for this matter. If I hadn't been a bit aggressive, I wouldn't have gotten you into trouble. My mother said before
However, a good daughter-in-law can stop the war with her own mouth instead of sending her husband to the battlefield. I didn't understand it before, but now I understand... From now on, we will all be fine. Wenwu, you are not allowed to talk to your father in the future.
It’s like before, you’re just playing around and being ruthless, you know?”
When the little fat man heard this, he nodded repeatedly. His father was already taken care of, so how could he dare to escape?
Ge Yan accompanied Zhou Wu to carry water along the way. This carried out for a whole day. At the end of the day, less than half of the black mole on Zhou Wu's face was gone. The three of them stayed at the foot of the mountain for one night. At dawn the next day, Zhou Wu
He came up the mountain again, and without Fang Zheng's words, he took the initiative and started diving.
It took three days in a row for the black mole on Zhou Wu's face to completely disappear.
Three days later, under the Bodhi tree.
Zhou Wu put down the bucket, came to Fang Zheng, bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for your teaching."
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "Everything gained is understood by the donor himself, and the poor monk is just a spectator."
Zhou Wu shook his head and said: "If it hadn't been for the master's guidance, Zhou Wu would still be confused about the eldest son, the second eldest son, and me, the third eldest son. If in the future, because of his bad temper, he brings unreasonable disaster to the family, it will be too late to regret it. Yes.
The master made Zhou Wu understand a truth. There are gods at the top of your head. There are always people and things in the world that you cannot afford to offend. If you are polite in everything, the sea and the sky will be brighter."
Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng stood up slowly, clasped his hands together, and bowed to Zhou Wu: "Amitabha!"
Zhou Wu took Ge Yan and Zhou Wenwu to burn three sticks of incense in the Buddhist hall, pray for peace, thank Bodhisattva, etc., and then left the temple. Zhou Wu looked back at Yizhi Temple, looked at the white monk under the Bodhi tree, and endured
He kept asking: "Master, I have always had a question."
"Give way!" However, Fang Zheng didn't speak, and a ferocious voice came from behind. Zhou Wu looked back and saw Hong Hai'er walking over with two large buckets full of water. He subconsciously gave way and stood at Hong Hai'er's feet.
With one kick, he soared into the air, crossed the threshold, and walked into the backyard with extremely light steps, without even looking at Zhou Wu the whole time.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Wu smiled bitterly and said: "Master, I have no doubts."
That's right, what Zhou Wu has always wondered is whether Red Boy can stir up those two buckets of water, and whether Fang Zheng knew he would come and deliberately made two big buckets to trick him. Now it seems that he really thought too much.
I am even more sure that this temple is filled with strange people! The abbot who can make a mole grow on his face, the six- or seven-year-old child who can carry hundreds of kilograms on his shoulders without anything, the monkey monk who has a Zen mind even though he is a monkey...
All these things become more and more miraculous the more I think about them.
As a result, when Zhou Wu went down the mountain and stood at the foot of the mountain, when he looked back, he still had the feeling that he was in a fog or a dream, and couldn't tell the difference.
"Honey, tell me, have I been dreaming these three days?" Zhou Wu asked on the way.
"I don't know, I'm a little confused too..." Ge Yan said.
"Dad, Mom, eat bamboo shoots!" Zhou Wenwu brought the bamboo shoots over and ate them deliciously.
The two looked at the bamboo shoots, then at each other, and were happy at the same time. It seemed that it was not a dream... 8)
