140. As long as you have a good time, there is nothing wrong with being a beggar (seeking a monthly
The mage didn't say anything to Bai Haonan, but just instructed the middle-aged monk to arrange a place for him and went back to the villa by himself.
That's right, Bai Haonan was shocked when he first saw it. There was a row of villas with exclusive courtyards built in the temple. The old monks and masters of higher levels all lived in such a beautiful building with a clean and elegant appearance. There were also one or two cars parked in the small courtyards, including many famous cars.
This is a world of difference from the life of a monk who imagined the a little hard life in the temple before Bai Haonan came.
Of course, since I came to the temple, there would definitely be no sumptuous banquets, and there would not even be a meal, because the middle-aged monks who brought Bai Haonan said that first of all, the monks of the country would not eat dinner, and secondly, there would be no portion for begging for alms today, so I could only solve this meal by myself. It would be best to bear it before getting used to it, because the temple only eats brunch every day.
If you stay like this for a long time, in addition to working together to exchange for accommodation, you also have to beg for alms.
Begging for alms?
Isn’t it just begging for food?!
Bai Haonan was shocked by this incredible lifestyle. After repeatedly confirming that it was true, he still wandered out of the temple and found a roadside stall to eat fried rice, etc., and he didn't even have the interest to go shopping in the entire city. He should have been physically and mentally exhausted by the long-distance alternating driving day and night. He didn't need to report his safety to anyone. He just lay on the floor on the wooden building that was airtight on all sides and fell asleep. Ada finally enjoyed the treatment of sleeping with him.
The next morning, just dawn, Ada pulled Bai Haonan and woke him up. When he opened his eyes, several monks felt barefoot with a bit of a sneer, holding a knife in their hands!
Anyone would have been in a cold sweat under this situation. Not only did these monks smile and folded their hands together as soon as they met, and even Ada had no fear and fierce reaction. They also smiled and lay down beside to watch the fun. It turned out that even if they were not able to speak, Bai Haonan also understood that the other party was here to shave his head. Since he wanted to beg for alms, he had to go out as a monk. This was also ordered by Master Tianlong. The middle-aged monk who walked up slowly later explained that almost all men in the country would come to be monks before and after adulthood. At least for three months, they would not distinguish between rich and poor and humble. They would have to endure the rules and regulations. It was a basic requirement that they could only beg for alms and eat. There was no fire in the temple to cook. Originally, ordinary people had a complicated process to become monks. Since it was someone designated by Master Tianlong, they would shave their heads and go to the street to beg for alms.
For a moment, Bai Haonan still thought about whether it was Lao Yu who dug for himself, so that he could only work hard for the Yu family in the future, but it seemed that it would not be enough. With the Yu family's financial and material resources and real estate certificates, what kind of son-in-law who can't find a dragon, he still had to work hard to mess with him? I knew that this monk could return to secular life at any time in three months, Bai Haonan still gritted his teeth and agreed. In addition to being curious about this new life, he still wanted to learn something, even if he didn't know what he could learn.
It was said that everything was simple. Bai Haonan was shaved with hair and beard. He introduced himself as the middle-aged monk who was called Master Aida still sat next to him and recited the scriptures throughout the process. Ada stared blankly as Bai Haonan's head turned from beard to a big egg!
It was really a big egg, and finally Bai Haonan realized that even his eyebrows were shaved off!
Then I took off everything I had worn before, handed over all my cash bank cards and even my mobile phone, and even my underwear was replaced with the style specified in the temple. It was actually pretty good. The silk was quite comfortable to wear, but the yellow monk robe wrapped around it, and I felt the crotch was chilly. Finally, I knew what women had experienced in wearing skirts. Anyway, Bai Haonan has become empty now!
Until he walked out of the temple, Bai Haonan was still facing his monk's career with the expectation he had before the players went on the court. However, as the temple bell rang around seven o'clock, a yellow cloth bag was hung around his neck, and there was a round steel pot in the cloth bag. Finally, he was wrapped in yellow-robed monks of different ages from all over the temple and stepped onto the street... By the way, it may be only Bai Haonan who was wearing toe slippers, as a former football player,
Some foreign stars even have their own special pedicure maintenance staff. It can be seen that they pay attention to their feet. It is indeed a bit difficult to walk naked on the street with his feet bare feet for almost 30 years. Fortunately, Ada is not tough in this detail, but he repeatedly emphasized several major precepts to Bai Haonan. The first thing is that he must not be close to women while being a monk. If he cannot do this, he will be kicked out of the temple immediately or even sent to the court.
Bai Haonan laughed a little at the fact that he should have used his ID card with Li Lin before leaving the country, pretending to be a big-tailed wolf. Now, he hasn't even started a meat dish when he came back from the pyramid scheme. He just hooked up with a woman in that nightclub and was stabbed in the butt. Now he asked not to touch a woman. It's just a longest record since Bai Haonan has experience!
However, this kind of requirement might have been a little crazier when talking about Bai Haonan ten years ago. Now, it’s not that scary. He even wanted to try whether he could survive these three months.
That's right, Bai Haonan planned to be a monk for only three months. He didn't believe that he couldn't find a way to survive in this place. Three months was enough for him to learn something about some entry-level things from this Tianlong Master. At that time, I would like to continue learning. Didn't it mean that monks here can return to secular life at any time? Then let's endure it for three months.
But as soon as they lined up, Bai Haonan still couldn't control his head and banged a little!
It was the kind of gate valve that suddenly became congested in the brain, and it seemed that all blood vessels could be heard...
Because beyond his expectations, I thought it was just a quiet act of begging in various households. As soon as I saw it, the entire street was full of tourists, and all the camera lenses with long guns and short cannons were facing the magnificent gate here!
He subconsciously wanted to raise his head to cover it, and Bai Haonan remembered that his eyebrows had been shaved off. Just now, he couldn't believe that the big egg-like head was his own in the mirror. Now he was mixed in front and behind... Well, there were hundreds of monks, and he could not be recognized. He just needed to lower his head.
But when he lowered his head, his ears couldn't help but get hot. This was different from Li Lin's red ears that night. Bai Haonan knew that he was still a little embarrassed.
He is almost thirty years old, and after all, he is still an adult. He actually carries a steel pot to the street to beg for food. Even if he escapes for half a year, he has never begged like this. He said he was eating Yu Jiali or Qiao Yingna's soft rice. In fact, when did he not pursue exchanges?
But now I am waiting for others to give alms like this?
Of course, this kind of thinking is only a few seconds, because with the outside, the queue of tall adult monks on the inside, turning right at the door together, Bai Haonan understood why the tourists were all across the street. It turned out that on the side of the road where the monks were walking, they were covered with mats one by one, and there were barefoot people kneeling, both men, women, and young, and devoutly carrying various bowls filled with various foods, from green leaves like rice and rice dumplings to various dishes, to chicken, duck, fish and meat!
So Brother Haonan's shame that he had a moment ago immediately turned into: "Damn it! Is this so good, right?"
At this time, he was a little lucky to tie Ada to the pillar when he went out, otherwise the guy would have rushed over and started to grab food. Now even he was scolded by Ada: "Hold your bowl with both hands! Don't reach out to touch the food!"
OK, this is not difficult, it’s better not to touch it. Bai Haonan has to try every means to control his idea of choosing good meat and good dishes. Then just follow it. I remember I don’t know when he seemed to have played that game, holding a pot of gold coins, and now it looks almost the same!
At this moment, Bai Haonan felt that it seemed that apart from not being able to pick up girls, this monk was not a chore for several months, right?
In fact, when Bai Haonan's steel bowl was almost ready when he walked to the end of the street, Ada, who had been covering the lid without food, asked him to continue moving forward.
After leaving the street, the monks began to disperse their formation. Except for the young novice monks who were still young under the leadership of several senior brothers, who were still grateful to the roadside believers for starting to return to the temple, even though the adult monks had already been filled with alms, they still wandered around in groups. Bai Haonan's feeling was that after drinking the wine at the bar, they came out to find out if there were any corpses.
As a result, Ada was looking for the scattered believers in the streets, not paying attention to what the food they offered. The key point was that after taking the other party’s food, he began to focus on touching the other party’s head and praying and chanting scriptures, sending his blessings to the other party.
Even if you are begging for alms, this is a corresponding exchange.
He didn't know a single scripture. Bai Haonan, who was standing next to him as a foil, thought so. Of course, he still showed the expression of a monk he had just learned, and he lowered his head and squinted his eyes in a steady manner. He seemed to be following his master to recite scriptures, but in fact he was paying attention to Ada and got up, so hurry up and follow.
When there was no one, Aida explained to Bai Haonan that according to the customs of the country, a country where 95% of people believe in Buddhism, meeting monks when they go out one morning is a sign of good luck, so while the monks beg for alms, they are also passing on their own blessings...
Bai Haonan was stunned by this idiot saying. It seems that religion is a lie. Is this country basically a fool?
It took more than an hour to turn, and Bai Haonan returned to the temple at half past eight. The monks who came back first had already arranged the food. The traditional rule said that all the food was poured into a pot and everyone had eaten together. But in fact, it may be that the same was true in ancient times. Nowadays, the dishes are of various flavors, and the monks in the country can't help but mix them together. Wouldn't they cheat themselves? So now a group of monks are scattered around a table, and each table is densely filled with dozens of dishes!
All Bai Haonan can think of is the emperor's meal on TV. Although the tableware is not very good, the dishes taste great. In the past, they picked up girls and invited them to eat Chinese cuisine. Now they think it is not difficult to be a monk for two years!
It's really not difficult.
I don’t know if Lao Yu has fully understood Bai Haonan’s living habits. It can be said that in addition to picking up girls and drinking, the two things seem to be not very healthy. As a young man in the 21st century, Bai Haonan’s athletes are actually very rigorous in habits. He doesn’t smoke, eats very carefully, doesn’t like to play with mobile phones, watch TV, and doesn’t like to use computers. Bai Haonan has long been accustomed to these living habits that are difficult for most modern young people to tolerate.
On the way back, I heard Aida explain that after the lunch meal at noon, there was no food except drinking water. It is said that it was to avoid eating enough and doing nothing to think about those evil things. So when you are hungry, you won’t think about it. This statement made Bai Haonan a little curious. Many fitness methods also emphasize eating less at night or even trying not to eat as much as possible, and supplementing vitamins like fruits, but there are many Tairitians in the gym.
This matter is unreliable... Bai Haonan's usual sarcasm and suspicious style does not agree with the rules and regulations of monks in the country.
After breakfast, he took a walk with a healthy mind and brought the food to Ada. Given that the dog looked a little tearful, Bai Haonan still wanted to try to bring it with him. One person and one dog leaned against the magnificent pillar outside the hall to negotiate. After Ada promised not to yell, Bai Haonan entered the Buddhist temple with a smile. The biggest gain this morning was to learn this kind of monk's face with a solemn appearance and smile lightly. Although I don't know why, the facial expression of the king of picking up girls would definitely be easily grasped.
However, his difficulties began to appear. Bai Haonan, who had never taken classes seriously since childhood, finally had to face a whole day of sitting quietly and listening to classes. It was difficult for most Chinese people to insist on sitting cross-legged on the floor. At this time, Bai Haonan felt it was a bit ironic. Did he go to the pyramid scheme team for two months and sit on the ground everywhere to listen to lectures, just to be able to adapt to the monk's habits today?
The difficulty is probably not the sitting position. The biggest thing is that he can't understand what the speech is explained at all, right?
Master Tianlong sat in front of hundreds of adult monks and talked in a verbal way. Bai Haonan was completely like an alien communication, and there were also many tourists and photographers around him. In addition, the great master's eyes would sweep over from time to time. Bai Haonan was so uncomfortable sitting there!
I can only say that he regards this as a way to exercise, learns to meditate others, and insists on meditation that he does not let himself look around. It is a bit similar to yoga meditation, which I have heard in the gym.
After all, he is a professional player for many years. He is empty-headed and focuses on meditation or shaking his body gently and regularly. He has done this state of mind. Although he will not practice any qigong, it is very useful to avoid being too excited and decayed before the game. Now it is also effective to fight the sleepy stupid sitting, but Bai Haonan also knows that this is definitely the most difficult level for him. It is really a chore to have to endure like this for three months.
Although he suppressed yawning countless times this morning, Bai Haonan finally persisted.
It seemed as if he was giving him the reward for persistence this morning, and the beautiful scenery in the afternoon almost made Bai Haonan fascinated!
Because it was his turn to be a monk in the afternoon!
That is, the monk in charge of being a tour guide in the temple.
Don’t forget that these days, the country is a very popular place for Chinese tourists, especially these northern Buddhist areas full of literary and artistic atmosphere!
It can be said that Bai Haonan once wanted to stay in the holy place of dating and stay in the city of affair for a few years in Isha's hometown, but actually realized it here.
Chapter completed!
