MTL - All Heavens and Myriad Realms System-Chapter 621
Thinking about the TV series, listening to Xiaoqing say that Bai Suzhen has been engaged, this child is pitiful.
"Hanwen, let's go, today I'm going to take you out to collect medicines, and let you have a deeper understanding of the properties of medicines through physical objects." Chen Muyang said.
Xu Xian was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
The two left Chen's house, went out of Qiantang County, and then went to the mountains in the suburbs. Chen Muyang began to teach Xu Xian how to collect herbs. Some herbs can only use leaves, some can only use fruits, and some use roots. Anyway, there are various kinds of herbs. There are medicines.
When it was about noon, Chen Muyang took out his revised Compendium of Materia Medica and handed it to him: "In Chinese, this is the chart of various drugs that I have been looking for and summarizing over the years, you can take it back and read it, and write it down when you are. , come to me again, this is your test."
Xu Xian naturally didn't know Chen Muyang's insidious plan, and after reading it for a while, he was pleasantly surprised and thanked.
Back in Qiantang County, Xu Xian and Chen Muyang said goodbye and went home. Chen Muyang breathed a sigh of relief and took some top ingredients from the storage space and carried them home.
Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen are drinking tea.
"Qing'er, Miss Bai." Chen Muyang came over to say hello.
"Xiang Gong, why did you go?" Xiao Qingjiao asked angrily.
"Oh, it's the Chinese language. The so-called paper-based learning is shallow, and if you know nothing about it, you must do it, so I took him to collect herbs, and through on-site digging, let him have a deeper understanding of the various properties of the herbs. "
This sentence was written by Lu You, a great poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, but at this moment, Lu Younian is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and he is not old enough to say this sentence, so Chen Muyang has absolutely no pressure to be exposed.
Bai Suzhen's eyes lit up when she heard this. Knowing that Qing'er's younger sister's husband is brilliant in his writing, he never thought that the two words he said casually were so thought-provoking, and they were indeed extraordinary.
"Xiang Gong, it's almost noon, I'm hungry." Xiaoqing said naively.
Chen Muyang laughed and said, "I'm going to cook, but I'll have a simple meal at noon. I've prepared a big meal in the evening, absolutely a big meal."
Xiaoqing's eyes lit up immediately, and she asked, "What kind of meal is it?"
Chen Muyang said mysteriously: "Secret, you will know when the time comes."
Looking at his back, Bai Suzhen said with a trace of envy that she hadn't even noticed herself: "Xiaoqing, Young Master Chen really spoils you."
Xiaoqing said with a smile: "Of course, who asked him to be my husband, but what is he going to do mysteriously?" After speaking, she swallowed.
Bai Suzhen was amused, the new sister she recognized was really a foodie. It seemed that she was a good match for marrying Chen Gongzi.
"Sister, how are you going to repay your kindness?" Xiaoqing asked Bai Suzhen.
Bai Suzhen shook her head and said, "I haven't thought of it yet, but the grace of dripping water will be reciprocated by springs, and the grace of saving lives cannot be repaid simply by giving some gold and silver."
Xiaoqing nodded in agreement, and then teased: "I can't promise each other with my body."
Bai Suzhen blushed and said angrily, "It has been 1,700 years since that year, and he has probably been reincarnated for more than 20 lives. I still don't know whether my savior is a man or a woman in this life."
After lunch, Xiaoqing accompanied Bai Suzhen out to continue looking for a savior.
In the evening, when they came back, Chen Muyang had prepared juice, snacks and snacks for them, and the three chatted in the gazebo in the backyard.
At this time, the voices of two servants came from a distance.
Just heard one person say: "Have you heard, Master Kong Xiang of Fahua Temple went to a bandit village alone a few days ago, and used Buddhism to save the whole bandit village. The leader of the bandit put down his slaughtering knife under the inspiration of Zen Master Kong Xiang. , lose his hair and become a monk."
"I heard that Master Kong Xiang is an eminent monk of Fahua Temple. He has saved the entire bandit village, so that the surrounding area will never be attacked by bandits again. It's a great merit."
Chen Muyang sneered and said: "What is being called, I think it is to survive, and I have to become a monk."
Bai Suzhen frowned slightly and said, "Young Master Chen doesn't seem to agree with this?"
Chen Muyang shrugged and said, "Buddhism's teachings of persuading people to be kind are good, but I have found that those monks talk a lot and do little, and there are very few who can really be called eminent monks. Miss Bai, you practice cultivation. For more than a thousand years, have you ever noticed that during the prosperous times, monks were mostly seeking alms in the bustling city, and there were few traces of Taoist priests; but if the troubled times came, this scene would be just the opposite."
Bai Suzhen has practiced for so many years, so naturally it is impossible for him to cultivate every day.
Chen Muyang didn't say that she didn't feel it yet. As soon as Chen Muyang said what she said based on what she saw, she couldn't help being horrified for a while, it was exactly what Chen Muyang said!
Chen Muyang said: "Daoists in troubled times go down the mountain to save the world, and monks close their doors to avoid disasters; Taoist monks in prosperous times return to the mountains, and monks go out to seek alms. As the so-called Daoism in troubled times, Buddhism in prosperous times. There are also Taoist sects that do not lack scum and demons, and Buddhism does not lack eminent monks and great virtues, but they are all individual. , the general direction is still correct.”
Xiaoqing said from the side: "I think about what I have seen and heard over the years, what you said is really true."
"There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many towers are in the misty rain. How brilliant Buddhism was in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Emperor Liang Wu respected the Buddha and rushed to the Buddha, but how did those monks do it? They even let Emperor Liang Wu starve to death, can starve an emperor to death, those How cold and thin a monk's heart is, and how courageous he must be."
The two women were both from the past, so naturally they had heard about Emperor Wu of Liang, and couldn't help being horrified.
Chapter 668 Xu Xian Sends Chen Muyang a Good Person Card
Chen Muyang took a sip of tea and continued: "Look at the famous doctors throughout the ages, Hua Tuo, Taoist! Zhang Zhongjing, Taoist! Ge Hong, Taoist! Dong Feng, Taoist! Bao Gu, Taoist! Tao Hongjing, Taoist Yang Shangshan, Daoist! There are many more, look at Buddhism, what famous doctors have been passed down? These monks talk about crossing people all day long, but just listening to them, they hide when it’s time to cross people, and when it’s time to cross people They won't. If you ask why, they will say, it's all the sins of those people in the past life, the retribution of this life. To sum it up in two words: deserve it"
puff! Xiaoqing was immediately amused by Chen Muyang.
Bai Suzhen, however, remembered her master Li Shan's mother, who had mentioned Buddhism when she was instructing her at the beginning, and seemed to have no good impression of Buddhism.
When I was cultivating, I would occasionally enter the world to experience the world, and I was also taught and influenced by my master.
It was only after I came into contact with Buddhism myself that I quite agreed with the teachings of Buddhism to transcend people to be kind, so I turned to Buddhism.
Chen Muyang's slander was not over yet, he said, "Continue to talk about crossing people, there is a saying in Buddhism: put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the ground, have you heard of it?"
"What's wrong with this?" Bai Suzhen asked.
Wouldn't it be great to let the wicked abandon evil and turn to good?
Chen Muyang sneered and said: "Then can I understand that, I can be a bad guy who kills and let go, and does all kinds of evil, and when I enjoy enough, I can become a Buddha by throwing away the butcher's knife?"
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were speechless, how could they still do this?
In fact, this is Chen Muyang's secret change of concept, put down the butcher's knife, and become a Buddha on the spot. But what Chen Muyang said was not true repentance, nor sincere devotion to kindness.
But Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing didn't realize that they were surrounded by Chen Muyang.
"If you really follow what Buddhism says, then don't those who died in vain die in vain?"
"Look now, the biggest landowner in the Song Dynasty is the emperor, and the second largest is the Buddhist sect. The people rent the land of the Buddhist sect to farm, in addition to paying a rent no lower than those of the landlords, they also have to take a year's harvest from their own suffering. To offer some offerings, I would rather endure hardship and starve and ask the Buddha and Bodhisattva to bless them. Bless them to continue to endure hardship and starvation? Bless them to get sick and have no money to cure them and die?”
Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen felt that their three views had been washed by Chen Muyang.
Chen Muyang knew that it was almost the heat of the day, and he couldn't say any more, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about these things, these have nothing to do with us."
It doesn't matter what you said! The two women gave him a roll of eyes at the same time, but Chen Muyang accepted it happily.
"Xianggong, you said there was delicious food in the evening, why didn't I smell it? Could it be that you haven't made it yet?" Xiaoqing asked suspiciously.
Chen Muyang shook his head and said, "It's not that I didn't do it, it's that I used the formation method to isolate the smell, otherwise the fragrance would drift for ten miles, and the entire Suzhou City would be a sensation."
"What kind of delicious food can smell ten miles away!" Xiaoqing, a foodie, was about to drool, and Bai Suzhen was also beside her, full of anticipation.
Chen Muyang smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go to the restaurant."
