Chapter 650 Let’s Start with This Bowl of Noodles
"Let me ask you, do you think this bowl of noodles is delicious?" Qin Moyu asked!
"This is fragrant..." Fa Hai nodded!
"So, since it smells good, do you want to eat it?" Qin Moyu asked again!
"I don't want to!" Fahai shook his head with a firm expression!
"Since it smells good, why don't you want to eat it?"
"Wine is sour and meat is smelly!"
"How do you know that meat smells bad if you haven't eaten it before?"
"What the Buddhist scriptures say!"
"Then the Buddha has eaten meat? Otherwise, how would the Buddha know that meat is smelly?"
"This..." At this point, Fahai opened his mouth, but his words were stagnant for a moment, and he couldn't answer!
"alright……"
Qin Moyu didn't mean to dwell on this issue, and changed the topic and said, "Let me ask you, if you put aside the so-called rules and regulations, from the bottom of your heart, do you want to eat this bowl of noodles?"
"I don't want to! A bowl of plain noodles is enough for the young monk!" Fahai still shook his head!
"That's your problem. You clearly want to eat it in your heart, but you say you don't want it!" Qin Moyu naturally didn't believe what Fahai said and shook his head!
Having said this, she ignored him and picked up a piece of beef from the noodle bowl and threw it into her mouth!
"These monks, the so-called rules and precepts, are just making themselves uncomfortable..."
The green snake next to him also glanced at Fa Hai, then shook his head secretly and complained!
Fahai clasped his palms together, silently reciting the Buddha's name in his heart, lowered his head, and said not a word!
However, what he saw and heard today had a great impact on him!
You can smell the fragrance on the tip of your nose! At the same time, the scene of the naked pregnant woman kept flashing in my mind, and sweat rolled down her forehead bit by bit!
Coupled with the little story Qin Moyu told about the beautiful woman on both sides of the master and apprentice, Fa Hai felt at a loss in his heart!
In the past, I had a firm belief that black was black and white was white! Just be decisive!
But now, Fahai feels that he is at a loss, and he seems to have no clear concept of right and wrong!
Today I also saw two monsters helping humans! I also saw with my own eyes that gods and monsters coexist peacefully!
If someone had told Fahai about this situation before, he would never believe it!
They all finished eating the noodles, but Fahai still lowered his head, closed his eyes and chanted sutras, without moving his chopsticks at all. Qin Moyu shook his head secretly in his heart!
After all, he is an accomplished monk who has been practicing for many years, and the rules and precepts are engraved in his bones. It seems that it is not that easy for him to change his mind so easily!
Of course, the more difficult it is, the higher your evaluation of this task will be!
This doesn’t seem to be a bad thing!
Just like that, after everyone had eaten, the rain outside had almost stopped, and the two green and white snakes were ready to say goodbye and leave!
"You two, if you have anything to do, please do it. If you have nothing to do, you might as well stay here for one night. It's already dark now!"
After hearing the farewell words of the two green and white snakes, Qin Moyu calmly replied!
"Okay, okay! We'll live here!" After hearing what Qin Moyu said, the green snake next to him nodded immediately and happily agreed!
"Okay, thank you, sir..." Seeing his sister nodding so simply, the white snake next to him shook his head helplessly and said!
Having said this, White Snake followed up and said: "Thank you for your hospitality, sir. I see that the dishes and chopsticks haven't been washed yet. Leave this matter to us!"
"In that case, I won't be polite anymore. I'm sorry for bothering you two!" Qin Moyu didn't mean to be polite. Since they asked to wash the dishes, let them do it!
"Sister, come with me. I know they have a faucet. You can turn it on and get water. It's very convenient!"
"Moreover, there is both cold and hot water, you can adjust it yourself!"
"It's just, sister, the faucet? Is this really Mr. Yu who chopped off a dragon's head and spit water for him?"
Having already touched everything in the house, Green Snake introduced it to White Snake, and also demonstrated how to use the faucet!
"The faucet cut off a dragon's head? Can you spit water for me?"
Listening to the conversation between Xiao Qing and Bai She in the kitchen, the corners of Qin Moyu's mouth twitched slightly.
This idea is quite good!
"Fahai..."
Ignoring the busyness of the two banshees in the kitchen, Qin Moyu sat in front of Fa Hai and said, "Have you broken many precepts in these years? For example, the lust precept?"
"Of course not! The young monk has grown up in Jinshan Temple since he was a child. He puts his mind on Buddhism, is strict with himself, and abides by the rules and precepts. How can he break it?" Hearing this, Fahai opened his eyes and replied seriously!
"Oh, no wonder! So, do you think you have let go of the so-called lust and caution?" Nodding slightly, Qin Moyu nodded again and said!
"Of course I let it go!" Fahai replied immediately without even thinking about it!
"But, you've never picked it up, how can you put it down?" Qin Moyu asked again!
"This..." Qin Moyu's words made Fahai speechless again. He didn't know how to continue speaking!
"Please give Mr. Yu some advice!" After being silent for a long time, Fahai continued, with a serious expression on his face!
"An eminent monk once said that if you don't practice good deeds in your life and love killing people and arson, once you achieve enlightenment, you will know who you are today..."
"There was also a dragon-subdued Arhat who descended to the lower realm and turned into a Taoist monk. He was crazy and slovenly all day long. He drank alcohol and ate meat. It is also said that the meat and wine passed through the intestines and left in the heart of the Buddha..."
"If you want to be born into the world, of course you must join the world. How can you talk about being born into the world if you have never experienced everything in the world?"
Qin Moyu's eyes fell on Fahai and said!
Hearing these remarks, Fahai felt even more shocked!
Wine and meat passed through the intestines? Did the Buddha keep it in his heart?
If you have never entered the world, how can you talk about being born in it?
Have you never practiced good deeds in your life, but love killing people and setting fires? How can such a person achieve Bodhi?
For many years, Fa Hai has always felt that his practice is correct and there is nothing wrong with it!
But today, after just spending a day with Qin Moyu, what he saw, heard, and talked about made Fahai feel that the values he had adhered to for many years were about to collapse!
Emotionally speaking, Fahai wanted to leave and escape from Qin Moyu!
If he stays with him for a little longer, Fahai feels that his values will completely collapse and his Dharma will be destroyed!
However, rationally speaking, Fahai wanted to stay because he felt that what Qin Moyu said was indeed reasonable!
More importantly, his identity is that of a god! Naturally, Fahai will not take his words lightly!
"If you really want to realize Bodhi, even if you memorize the sutras backwards and sit on the futon, it will be useless!"
“It’s about experiencing the world of mortals, sinking into the sea of desire, and then maintaining your original intention to transcend, and then you can truly let go!”
"If you are willing, let's start with this bowl of noodles..."
