The object control skill is a general control technique that can be applied to any controllable object, whether it is a stone table or a variety of weapons. The advantage is that it outlines the outline and is not picky about the object; the disadvantage is that there is no special knife control technique.
, Lou Xiaoyi needs to be familiar with it and explore it step by step.
He didn't know if Madman Liang had any special skills in controlling swords, but he didn't find any in his relics.
Don’t waste time practicing. Controlling an object, especially an irregular lancet whose center of gravity is difficult to balance, is not an easy task. Not only does it have to be controlled to fly far, but it must also have a certain degree of lethality.
In the induction foundation building stage, monks have spiritual control, which is called the power of catching dragons and controlling cranes. Objects can be sent out and taken back; but in the breath-eating stage, it is easy to send out but extremely difficult to take back. The reason why Madman Liang used willow leaves
Knife, it is because the aerodynamic shape of this shape has the ability to boomerang.
Sending it out relies on spiritual power, and retracting it relies on spinning skills, which is a test of fine operation. Lou Xiaoyi is far from being able to spin, and he won't think about it now. The first thing he has to solve is how to use this thing accurately.
Shoot it out with force, far enough, accurately and with penetrating power. After all these are achieved, then consider other issues.
Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and greenery has returned to Pucheng. For such a remote town located on the border of the Gobi Desert, green is particularly precious to them. There are various celebrations in an endless stream, including the one that caused a bit of trouble last year.
Stormy Little Night Lake Spring Party.
Of course, Lou Xiaoyi did not attend the Lake Tour Spring Party, which made the organizers breathe a sigh of relief. As an annual event for the upper class young people in Pucheng, they had no right to reject any qualified participant, especially someone like Lou Xiaoyi.
Such a young man with a rather special status.
Lou Xiaoyi is busy with his own happy practice, how can he have time to participate in their innocent moaning? Isn't it just that spring is here and he wants to match? Pure physiological requirements, but he has to be so elegant, not for the sake of that after turning off the lights at night.
Something?
But he still did not escape the excitement of spring. This time it was the monk who came to his door!
The monks at the Jokhang Temple in Xicheng are the temple that my mother and Aunt Cai often go to. It is also the most famous temple in Pucheng, the most popular, and the most popular among the upper class.
The winter in Pucheng is very difficult, it is very cold and windy, and few people would choose to go out at this time, let alone the pampered official wives and wealthy ladies. Therefore, the Jokhang Temple, which has been resting for a long time, will take the initiative when spring comes.
Sending good luck and Buddhist letters to the wives of famous officials and wealthy families in Pucheng is actually telling everyone that the weather has warmed up and you can come and send money for sesame oil!
In Pucheng, those who believe in Buddhism and have certain financial strength are of course the wives and daughters-in-law of upper-class celebrities. Men rarely engage in these. The common thinking is that if you have this kind of money, it is better to marry a concubine.
Coming back.
It is said that if you shoot a man first, shoot a horse, and to capture a thief first, capture the king. Since we want to encourage women to worship Buddha, we must of course deal with the most prestigious people in the women's circle of Pucheng. In this regard, the Lou Yao family is well-deserved.
First choice!
Not only because of her piety in worshiping Buddha, but also because of her own background. Mrs. Sima of the previous dynasty really did not have a more distinguished name in Pucheng. Although her name was empty, it was enough in the women's world.
So she was the first one to look for her. Monk Kongfang, the acquaintance of the Jokhang Temple, personally came to the Lou Mansion with two young monks, empty hands and white sleeves, to extend his most sincere greetings and the most sincere blessings from the abbot.
According to the rules of Pucheng, the amount of money donated for sesame oil this year is determined by the first donor. The amount can be increased or decreased as appropriate. Generally, it will not exceed the amount donated by the first donor in the first ritual ceremony in the spring. In this way
One advantage of the rules is that it prevents malicious comparisons. Because the population flow in Pucheng is extremely limited, and they are all old acquaintances, they all abide by such rules. As wealthy as the Li family, they dare not outdo Lou every year.
The wife of the palace, or the wife of the palace master and other noble ladies, is an offense and will be punished.
Therefore, it is very important to be the first distinguished guest to donate money for sesame oil during Buddhist services. You must always take the lead. It should not be too exaggerated, and it should not be worse than in previous years. Monks also understand the principle of inflation.
.
Lou Xiaoyi had never participated in this kind of thing before. When the monks came at this time last year, two souls were fighting in his mind and he was confused. But this year, it is different.
Mother and Aunt Cai met Zhike Monk in the living room and listened to him vomiting lotus flowers. Lou Xiaoyi was practicing his Chonger Zhenyi in the courtyard. He had been practicing this method of ear recognition for several months and had made great progress.
, right in his own yard, as long as he is willing, every move of the entire Lou Mansion, including cats and dogs fighting, servants quarreling, and couples living in London, cannot escape his ears.
"The Buddha said that suffering is not suffering, happiness is not happiness, it is just a momentary obsession. If you stick to a thought, you will be trapped in a thought; if you let go of a thought, you will be free in your heart. Things turn with your heart, situations are created by your heart, and all worries are caused by your heart.
born.
... A person must be able to suffer losses. In life, if you don't bring it with you in life or take it with you in death, if you care about everything, you will sacrifice the good and the last, and you may lose more. Really smart people will not care about the superficial losses. What they value is
Substantial "welfare", because people who can suffer losses often have a safe, happy and calm life. Being able to suffer losses is a state of being a human being, and being able to suffer losses is a kind of wisdom in doing things. Buddha said: You will never suffer a loss, only cherish blessings
Blessed!
...Again, Subhuti, good men and good women, if you accept, uphold, read and recite this sutra, if you are despised by others, your previous sins will lead you to the evil path. Because people in this life are despised, your previous sins will be eliminated and you should
Obtained Anuttarasamyaksambodhi.
…”
Lou Xiaoyi does not understand Buddhist scriptures very well. He has not done any research in this area in his past life or this life, but this does not mean that he is stupid!
Monk Kongfang's words sounded lofty and mysterious, but in the final analysis, he meant to let the old lady suffer some losses, don't be afraid of losses, give up more money... and so on.
It’s not that he is reluctant to give up money. As long as his mother is happy, it doesn’t matter how much money he has for sesame oil. But what he cares about is this way of defrauding people of money. He uses the respect his mother and others have for the Buddha as a tool to make money!
One look at this monk's fat head, big ears, and belly. If you make others suffer, why don't you suffer more?
Mother and Aunt Cai live alone in the house. There are very few entertainments for them in this world. Believing in Buddhism is a very important way for them to pass the time and seek psychological sustenance.
This is also a common point among most wealthy people who stay at home. In this regard, Buddhism takes advantage of the opportunity and has huge innate advantages and a huge audience. Even the dominant Taoism cannot compare.
Monk Kongfang was still chattering, and Lou Xiaoyi was too lazy to listen. As long as it wasn't too much, he could only let him go. What else could he do? After all, he couldn't make his mother unhappy just because of a little extra money.
It won't make sense for you to reason with someone of her age. It's a waste of time and trouble!
"The Jokhang Temple has a new archway outside the mountain gate. It is missing a pair of couplets. I have asked Madam to polish it up and show off her calligraphy in the spring Dharma assembly. The whole Jokhang Temple is waiting for Madam to visit!"
Monk Kongfang is still encouraging his sharp tongue. I must admit that the monk’s entry point is very sharp. He has identified Lou Yao’s origin and has some ink. He likes this way of leaving his name. Since he can leave his name, Then the action must be generous. In the end, the noble will leave a reputation, the Jokhang Temple will benefit, and everyone will get what they want.
As expected, the mother took the bait and made a pleasant exchange, showing her strong support in both words and deeds. Of course, this kind of Buddhist worship should not be mentioned rashly in terms of quantity, as it would be too vulgar. We both knew each other well, understood each other, and everyone was happy.
If your mother is happy, then let her go. If spending money can buy happiness, why not? At Lou Yao's age, there is not much time left for her to fulfill her wishes. For people in this world, there is no life span at all. The longevity that should be expected in the world of spiritual practice is a big hurdle for the elderly when they reach sixty, which is also a very strange thing.
What Lou Xiaoyi didn’t expect was that his mother summoned him during lunch time.
"Xiao Yi, someone from the Jokhang Temple asked me to write a couplet for them. I am not thinking clearly right now and I am occasionally confused. Xiao Yi has already written a couplet, so why not write one for my mother?"
