MTL - As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills-Chapter 11 what is buddha
Chapter 11 What is Buddha
The dirt road in the distance is flying with smoke and dust, slowly approaching the Hongyun River.
There was a sudden commotion by the river.
"It's finally here. According to legend, Miss Wang is as beautiful as a fairy, and I can finally see it today..."
"It seems that there are quite a few people here. Could it be that they are all here to release them? How are they going to be released?" An old man stared at the billowing smoke and dust in the distance, wondering.
The person next to him suddenly laughed and said, "Old man Zhang, you have lived for most of your life, and you haven't even seen life released?"
"As long as you can, have you seen it?" Old man Zhang blushed and said in disbelief.
Others also looked over quickly, and listened with their ears open. Who can see the world better than anyone who can come to watch the fun?
Some old men and peasant women didn’t even know about releasing animals. They only heard that there were big fish in the river today, and they came to catch them with sticks.
"Hey, I really know!" The man enjoyed the feeling of all the attention, and said proudly: "Last year I was building a house for a rich family in Fucheng, and I happened to see it by the Zuijin River in the city. "
"Speak quickly!" The crowd urged.
"For the release of life, first set up a wooden table and cover it with a red cloth, prepare water and branches, and then make a statue of a Bodhisattva on the table..."
"What kind of wooden table and red cloth, you think it's an incense table!" Someone on the side couldn't help but said.
"Are you still listening?" The person who was speaking showed displeasure on his face, and when the surroundings quieted down, he continued:
"When everything is ready, please ask the big bald man to sing scriptures, burn incense and worship Buddha, sprinkle water on the fish with branches, and then circle the fish a few times to ring the bell... Anyway, the last thing is to throw the fish into the river."
"Aren't the fish kept in the water? Sprinkle water? This is not taking off your pants and farting..." Old man Zhang was puzzled.
"What do you know about rich and noble people, don't inquire about it..."
Amidst the noise of a group of unkempt guys, the carriage in the distance was already clearly visible.
There are three carriages in total, followed by several bullock carts pulling large wooden barrels, which should be filled with released fish.
"Hey, there must be hundreds of these, it's not in vain!" Several peasant women grinned, their sleeves rolled up.
Others also had green eyes. They haven't eaten a few taels of meat on weekdays. Today they must catch a few more.
Standing beside Jiang Ming, Ah Fei was also very excited.
"This royal family is quite rich!" Jiang Ming said with emotion, and ordinary families might not be able to afford such a situation.
A Fei stared at the ox carts, and said enviously: "No, besides the official family, this Dayun Mansion probably belongs to the Wang family. The ancestors were officials from the capital."
"No wonder..." Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows.
The following process is the same as that person said just now, setting up incense tables, singing incense praises, offering incense to Buddha...
It's just that many people got on and off the carriage, including servants and a slick monk, but they never saw the so-called Miss Wang.
It was not until the last step of releasing the fish that a slim figure got out of the carriage, took a fish lightly, threw it into the river, and then turned around and got on the carriage again.
Appeared briefly, but it also aroused cheers from the small people watching the fun.
"Tsk tsk, this figure, this beauty... I don't know how taller she is than that girl Xue'er!" A Fei's eyes lit up.
"Have you ever seen Miss Xueer, she is just talking nonsense here with her eyes open." Jiang Ming looked at A Fei speechlessly.
"I don't care, the one who gives me fish is the best..."
"Stop talking, go down the river!" A Fei held up the fishing net, and plunged into the river.
After Miss Wang released the fish, the servants also started to push buckets of big fish to the river, and then dumped them down.
Big fish more than two feet long leaped into the river, turning up large waves.
"There are really fish, catch them quickly!"
Plop~
Plop~
The poor people in Ping'an Town were already envious, and immediately ran wildly, jumped into the river like dumplings, and were in a shallow water beach downstream, ready to intercept these big fish.
Jiang Ming also jumped into the river beach early, but he took nothing but a long rope.
"Amin, you can't prepare this well, the big fish is not slippery, you have to bring a stick..."
Jiang Ming turned his head and saw that it was Old Jiangtou from the tavern, holding a harpoon in his hand, ready to strike.
Jiang Ming heard the words, hehe smiled: "Jiang Ye, we two will compete who catches more, and the loser will give the other a fish."
"Hmph, little guy, I'm afraid you have nothing to lose... Hey, here comes the fish!" Old Jiang lost his temper, and rushed forward with a harpoon in his hand.
"I'll pierce it!" Old Jiangtou waved the harpoon, tied one within a few strokes, and tied it with a rope.
"My prestige is still the same as before..." Lao Jiang proudly said, turning his head to make a wave at Jiang Mingming.
But when he turned his head, he froze on the spot.
"Fuck... Are you collecting herbs or fishing?"
Not far away, Jiang Ming had a rope wrapped around his arm, and the other end of the rope was thrown into the water. He had already **** three fat fish, and they were still struggling to swim.
One who was stabbed to death... and three alive and kicking, which one is stronger and which one is weaker is already a judgment call.
"Does Jiang Ye want to admit defeat in advance?" Jiang Ming said with a smile: "Huh? Another one!"
Under the stunned gaze of Old Jiangtou, Jiang Ming leaned forward suddenly, and then grabbed it into the water, so fast that Old Jiangtou couldn't see clearly.
Boom~
Water splashes everywhere!
The next moment, Jiang Ming stood up, grasping a big fish in his hands, he untied the rope from his arm, passed it through the gills and mouth of the fish, and tied it again.
"As long as you move fast, no fish can escape." Jiang Ming winked at Old Jiangtou.
With his physical fitness, what equipment is needed to catch a fish, and he is done.
"You..." Old Jiangtou said angrily, "You are too untechnical and rude."
"Master Jiang said a few more words, and all the fish would have slipped away!" Jiang Ming said with a smile, "Don't forget to give me another one."
Old Jiang’s angry beard trembled wildly, he turned around quickly and continued to look for fish...
"Donors, stop catching, stop catching!"
Suddenly, shouts came from the shore.
The people in the river turned a deaf ear and continued to catch fish.
Jiang Ming glanced at it. It was the monks who performed the life-releasing ceremony for Miss Wang just now. They were standing by the river, yelling anxiously.
"Fat bald donkey, why is it bothering you by us catching fish?"
"That is, I can't catch the fish you don't want?"
"Keep catching, leave him alone..." There was a burst of echo from all around.
The headed monk stood out with a chubby belly, and said sadly:
"Fish are also living beings. Miss Wang is merciful, and she does good deeds and releases lives to pray for the common people, but you kill them like this... Don't you have any kindness in your heart?"
"I'm happy, I'm willing, it's none of your business!" A man shouted immediately.
The fat on the monk's face trembled with anger: "You are happy and happy, but what about these fish, do they deserve it?"
"Damn... jiji waiwai!" Ah Fei said angrily, "The monk who came to beg for alms last time also said that it is the Buddha who can make people feel happy."
"I'm so happy now, you just want to stop me, you say... Are you a family with the Buddha? You can't be a fake monk."
"I, I, I... you!" The fat monk's seven orifices were smoking, and no matter how advanced the Dharma, he could not say anything when he met this group of unscrupulous people.
"Hey, I'm speechless, it really is a fake!" Ah Fei was beaming, suddenly feeling that his Buddha nature was soaring at this time, and he couldn't care less about catching fish, and shouted:
"Mother, what is a Buddha? I think these fat fish are Buddhas. They can make Miss Wang happy, and they can make us happy. We can still eat fish, and we will be happier than her!"
