Fang Zheng smiled and said: "My teacher has told you a long time ago that what we cultivate is the Buddha in the heart. The Buddha in the heart should be yourself, not others. If you have kindness in your heart, why bother to stick to external manifestations? Now in your heart
There is a Buddha but no self, so if you practice over and over again, wouldn't it mean that you have become a master? If you lose yourself in practicing Buddha, that is not practicing Buddha, that is cultivating demons."
The monkey listened very carefully and memorized every word, but he was still a little confused. He didn't understand what Fang Zheng meant. Can he cultivate himself? Can he become a Buddha by cultivating himself? Then wasn't he already a Buddha before? But... he couldn't figure it out.
I don't know, I don't understand.
Fang Zheng said: "Slowly realize it. When you understand it, you will be a real monk."
The monkey stood up, clasped his hands and said, "Amitabha, I am stupid, but I will work hard."
"Go on, when there is not much work in the temple, go for a walk in the mountains, see other monkeys, see everything in the world, and then think about your own path." Fang Zheng waved his hand.
The monkey took the order and went down. His mind was full of Fang Zheng's words, but he just didn't understand...
Looking at the monkey like this, Fang Zheng didn't know how to teach him. Teaching a monkey to become a qualified monk was probably the only one in the world.
Putting aside the monkey thing, Fang Zheng continued to read the scriptures.
The days are passing by, July is about to pass, and August is about to enter the hottest time of the year.
The sun is getting bigger and bigger, and the heating sun bakes the earth with a sizzling sound, as if you can eat an omelette by throwing an egg in...
"Master, it's getting hotter and hotter." The lone wolf lay on the ground listlessly, sticking out his tongue and snorting in an effort to cool down.
Fang Zheng nodded. As the temperature rises, there are fewer and fewer pilgrims. After all, pilgrims are generally ordinary people who have not yet reached the level of piety to the point of self-abuse. At this time, there are almost no people going up the mountain. At most, some are older.
Get up early in the morning, and the rest of the time, there will be no one at all...
Looking at the empty temple, Fang Zheng felt a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, Squirrel Xing ran back. As soon as he came back, he hid in the shade of the tree, spread out his limbs, lay there, imitated a lone wolf, stuck out his tongue, and complained: "Oh, it's too hot in the temple."
Yes, it’s still comfortable in the mountains.”
Fang Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, "Is it cool in the mountains?"
Seeing that the master who always knew everything actually asked him for advice, Squirrel immediately became energetic, got up, sat there, hugging his arms, looking like an old scholar, and said calmly: "Cool, very cool! Little one
The wind is very cool, especially in the cave, it is very cool."
Fang Zheng's eyes became brighter and brighter, then he patted his bald head, stood up suddenly and said: "Jing Kuan, close the door and pack your things!"
The monkey was stunned and said: "Master, what are you doing? Are you moving?"
"What house are you moving to? Let's go to Tongtian Mountain to escape the summer heat." Fang Zheng said with a smile. No one is coming anyway, so we might as well go out together to escape the summer heat.
When the monkey heard this, he was overjoyed and ran to pack his things.
Red Boy, who was lying there with his butt stuck out, enjoying the cool air, and occasionally clamoring for magic power to artificially cool down, but failed, also became energetic, followed him in a hurry, and shouted: "Senior Brother,
Bring more rootless purified water. If you are used to drinking this, you will not feel comfortable drinking the water outside."
"It's too heavy to carry too much, so it's hard to climb the mountain," said the monkey.
"I'll carry it!" Lone Wolf became more energetic and ran over immediately.
The squirrel shouted: "I'm coming too!"
Everyone looked at him subconsciously. How could such a small body carry water?
Old Squirrel blushed and said quickly: "I mean, I'm here to cheer you up!"
Everyone rolled their eyes and were too lazy to pay attention to him...
So, the squirrel opened the way, Fangzheng walked in the middle, the lone wolf carried two buckets of water, the monkeys ran around in the trees, the red boy... The devil knows where he went. A group of people entered the mountain like this...
On the way, Fang Zheng hummed a song and muttered in his heart: "System, by punishing the tomb robbers, I have done meritorious service, right? Don't you express your gratitude?"
"Ding! I thought you had forgotten about this, and I didn't ask you until after so long." The system said lazily.
"Didn't I trust you? I thought you would remind me. It would be better for you to just keep silent. Also, could your voice not be so lazy?" Fang Zheng said.
"You think you're the only one who's hot? I'm hot too! It's weird to be energetic..." The system naturally found reasons for him.
Only Fang Zheng believes that he is a ghost. Can a system with great magical powers be afraid of heat? Only ghosts believe it!
The system continued: "Punishing the tomb robbers is indeed a great achievement, and there is no problem in drawing a lottery. How about all the previous merits are taken into account, and a big one is drawn?"
When Fang Zheng heard this, he was really excited, but he still held it back: "No for now, I'll just draw the reward from the tomb robber's time. Don't touch those merits. When I want to save 10,000 merits, I'll do it."
It’s big!”
"Oh, you are very ambitious. Why don't you stop drawing the lottery this time and just save it." The system teased.
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "My hands are itchy...I don't feel well if I don't squirt now."
"Shall we smoke now?" the system asked.
"Pump!" Fang Zheng gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay, let's start the lottery!" The system finished: "Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the skill: "Zen Carpentry"."
"Zen Carpentry Art? What is this?" Fang Zheng was stunned. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
"Zen carpentry is not a thing, it is a skill. It is one of the compulsory skills before entering the art of weapon refining, and it is also the peak carpentry skill that ordinary people can achieve. To put it simply, learn this, and from now on you will be a handyman in our Lingshan Mountain.
You are now one of the long-term workers, how are you? Are you excited? Are you excited? Are you happy?" The system chuckled.
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes and just wanted to curse: "Get out!" But he suppressed it with his self-cultivation. It was useless to curse anyway, so it was better not to curse.
"Don't get excited. This is a technical ability. The requirements for this ability may not be too high, but the probability of obtaining it is very low. Think about it, you have drawn so many prizes for so long, and you have only drawn Dragon Buddha's Document once.
That’s all.” The system said.
"However, it's of no use..." Fang Zheng said with a bitter smile.
"It's useless? Humph... That's because you don't know how to use it! None of these skills are useless, and they can even help you get infinite merit. Unfortunately... you are still short-sighted and blind.
Your understanding of accumulating virtue and doing good is too narrow. I won’t tell you anymore, just understand it well..." After the system finished speaking, it disappeared.
When Fang Zheng heard the first part, he really wanted to scold his mother. He asked himself that he had done well enough, but he was still despised by the system. But when the system said the second part, narrow? Is his vision really narrow? Fang Zheng couldn't help but
