At ten o'clock in the evening, Xiang Que entered a restaurant, thinking that he was ordering some wine and food, although as a god he didn't need to eat and drink at all, but he couldn't change the habit of eating, and he would inevitably be a little itchy if he didn't eat or drink for a long time.It's just that he was a little disappointed in the restaurant in Xitian, it was all fasting rice, without any wine and meat, and then he noticed that the diners next to him were eating vegetarian food, and he had no choice but to order a few side dishes and porridge and rice at will, and he couldn't throw his sleeves and leave after all of them sat in.While Xiang Que was waiting, he saw a few monks sitting at a nearby table, and if they looked at their costumes, they should belong to His Holiness.In the continent of the West Heaven, the highest status is the Buddha and the Bodhisattva, followed by the Arhat, and the status of the Venerable is much worse, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is also a big man on the Lingshan, after these Venerables came in, they saw that those who were eating had lowered their dishes and chopsticks, and bowed to them, but these Venerables were expressionless, and they didn't even have the least response, but those people didn't seem to feel anything.What made Xiang Que feel a little incomprehensible and strange was that the tray held by Xiao Er in the running hall was obviously the meal he ordered first, but when he passed by the monks, a venerable man suddenly beckoned, and the person who ran the hall put the tray in his hand on the table, took down the fasting meal inside, and after putting it down, he turned around and left, and he didn't even say hello to Xiang Que.Xiang Que originally wanted to stand up and greet the theory of running the hall, he didn't miss this stutter, but there will definitely be emotions, if this kind of thing is placed in the restaurant in the previous life, then it is estimated that the people who eat will have to break with the people in the hotel, and the current service industry is very particular about first come, first served, and no one will do this.After waiting for nearly half an hour, Xiang Yuan's fasting meal was served, and after the runner put the tray on the table, he asked softly: "I ordered the fasting meal first, but why did you give it to those masters first?"
”The runner looked at him with very surprised eyes, as if he felt that Xiang Que's question was a bit stupid, but later he may have reacted, so he asked: "The guest officer is from outside, not from the West Heaven, right?"
”Xiang Que nodded, and Xiao Er explained with an "oh": "You may not know much about it when you first arrive, but in the West Heaven, the masters of Lingshan Mountain have priority no matter what they do" "Is it the rule?"
”Xiang Que frowned and asked.Erxiao shook his head and said: "It's not a rule, it's a way for us to respect Master Lingshan......"
Xiang Que took the chopsticks and pondered a little, and at this time, those Venerables had just finished eating, and when they saw that they got up and didn't even say hello, they walked out of the restaurant.The leftovers meant that there was still a lot of fasting leftovers, and they didn't eat them too cleanly, and even some of the dishes were only a few chopsticks.Xiang Que came out of the restaurant after eating fast, and he suddenly felt that Xitian was very different from the Xitian he imagined.Especially when he was walking on the street, the many people and things he saw subverted his previous cognition.For example, Xiang Que saw a plainly dressed mother holding a child in her arms, holding one in her hand and then setting up a stall on a street, accidentally knocked over the fruit basket in front of her, and several fresh fruits rolled to the ground, and the mother was busy cleaning up because she had to take care of the two children, and at this time several monks passed by, but they didn't look down, let alone reach out to help.Xiang Que also saw that there was a person who was obviously terminally ill, and it was very difficult to walk between his steps, and he saw that this patient was caused by the passage of life breath on his body, but it was obvious that there was a Venerable of the True Human Realm who passed by and could deal with it, but he passed by the other party without paying attention.What about my Buddha's compassion and compassion for all sentient beings?
Xiang Que was a little confused at first, but he saw a lot, except for confusion, there was no doubt, it seems that the compassion of these monks is just freewheeling, if you want to be merciful, you will be merciful, and if you don't want to, it's the same as not being invisible, and those ordinary people who obviously want to be pulled by the monk have not complained about anything.In the next few days, Xiang Que left this town, and then continued to wander down, anyway, he didn't have an exact destination, just take a look at the customs of the West Heaven, but after looking down all the way, he found that the problems he had seen before were found almost everywhere in the West Heaven.Almost half of these Buddhist cultivators from the Western Heaven have always maintained that lofty posture, and those ordinary people are like ants in their eyes.Of course, there are a lot of such cases, and there are also many situations of compassion and compassion for the heavens and the heavens, and some masters can also reach the level of purifying sentient beings, my Buddha's compassion, or who will go to hell if I don't go to hell.Originally, Xiang Que was quite surprised, but later he thought of the section in Journey to the West where the four Tang monks and apprentices arrived at Lingshan and wanted to take away the scriptures.In the Buddhist family, there are monks who can achieve the perfection of merit through practice, and there are also some monks whose minds are impure and spoiled by the world.Half a month after arriving in the West Heaven, Xiang Que had already been tens of thousands of miles away from Lingshan, and the place he was in at this time could be regarded as the boundary of the West Heaven, and if it was a little farther away, it would be the open sea area of the West Heaven.On this day, Xiang Que traveled to a remote mountain forest, originally thinking that he would rest here for a while and then go back, find a place to settle at the foot of the mountain near Lingshan, and even if he doesn't show up, he can see the grand occasion of the Buddha's birthday.However, in this mountain forest, Xiang Que suddenly heard the sound of chanting scriptures, and there was always a temple built here, so he walked over.Xiang Que was very curious about how there were temples in the mountains and forests, because in the western sky, all the temples were built in the city, and they looked particularly tall.The temple must be the brightest building in the city, and it is unique.
