Chapter 4141 Cleaning the Buddhist Temple (Part 2)

Even Wan Qingya, who was holding a plastic broom, specially exchanged it with her mother for a branch broom, and started cleaning more happily.

Li Yun said with a smile: "After all, rural children, this kind of thing is still not difficult for me."

"Your country?" Concubine Wan Qing teased as she went up the stairs to clean the pagoda with the branch broom he made, "Why do I remember that you are a country boy?"

"County towns in rural areas are also rural areas, almost."

In fact, branch brooms are very common, but most of them are made of tough bamboo leaves. Now many urban sanitation workers use this kind of broom. It is light and easy to use. It is big enough and can clean a lot at once large range.

Everyone went up the stairs to clean the pagoda. Surprisingly, there was only half a Buddha statue left on the first floor. Wan Qingya obediently went up to pay respects. No matter what the etiquette is, just worship.

Wan Nishang felt sorry for her two daughters, and took the initiative to pull the dense vines in the tower. However, Concubine Wanqing also felt sorry for her master and sister, so she insisted on grabbing them. In the end, Li Yun came to tear off the vines and asked the two girls to help her. .

As for Wan Qingya, she obediently opened the way ahead and cleared a path first.

"Let me tell you about the legend of the Buddha's realization of Bodhi."

To pass the boring working time, Li Yun continued to talk about the previous myths and legends, also called historical stories.

"Okay!" Wan Qingya was the first to respond, but she didn't stop working. She kept cleaning the pagoda, and her whole body became dirty, but Li Yun didn't tell her to stop, nor did she let her take a rest. So she keeps cleaning.

Li Yun said: "It was said that Sakyamuni left the palace and decided to become a monk after seeing the sufferings of life, old age, sickness and death. After six years of hard work, he finally found that hard work could not solve the confusion in his heart, so he came here. .”

"here?!"

The three women asked at the same time.

"Yes, it is here, the place called Bodh Gaya in ancient times."

Li Yun looked out of the window on the first floor of the ancient pagoda, "Maybe it is around the stupa, maybe it is not far away. In short, the Buddha sat under the bodhi tree and swore: 'If you don't achieve enlightenment, you will not leave this seat. ’, it is said that the Buddha’s cultivation was already very high at that time. Bo Xun, the Four Heavenly Demon King, was afraid that Sakyamuni would gain enlightenment, so he led the demon army to interfere, but he couldn’t get close to the Buddha’s body. With a golden body, one can realize the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, the Twelve Dependent Originations, and the Thirty-seven Paths.”

Wan Qingya was thoughtful, but Wan Nishang didn't take it seriously, and objected: "Didn't you say before that the Four Heavenly Demon Kings are invisible and qualityless, and have no ability to think?" Come to interfere? Typical inconsistency!"

Li Yun shrugged: "That's why I said it is a myth and legend. The Four Heavens Demon King should be what Xiao Su said. It is invisible and intangible...or maybe," Li Yun looked at Wan Qingya, "The demon king who tried to interfere with the Buddha's enlightenment Bo Xun is also a person influenced by Heavenly Demon."

Just like Wan Qingya.

"Just like me?!"

Wan Qingya looked over curiously, but she wasn't too scared. After all... There were many reasons. First, she didn't know if she was a demon, and second, Li Yun was by her side.

"perhaps."

Li Yun didn't dwell on this topic, and continued: "Actually, there is a legend that is more ordinary. Shakyamuni practiced hard for many years, and he meditated under the bodhi tree for a day, and was dizzy from hunger."
