Chapter 249 Cold Bamboo
Not long after, Liu Tao came here panting. To Fangzheng's surprise, Liu Tao actually took out a wad of money, which seemed to be worth a thousand dollars, some wrinkled, some dirty , it seems that the money should be the result of temporary patchwork.
Fangzheng frowned, stood up and said, "Almsgiver, paying respects to the Buddha is based on your heart. If you are in debt because of paying respects to the Buddha, then you are not paying respect to the Buddha, and you are taking the blame on the Buddha. The Buddha is the one who deserves the blame. Bodhisattvas are worth mentioning, but they don’t recite it.”
Liu Tao was taken aback, this was the first time he met such a monk who didn't even make money? But thinking about Fangzheng's various mysteries, it's normal for such a mysterious outdoor master not to love money. So Liu Tao explained: "Master Fangzheng, don't worry, the money is not a debt, my salary is more than that. It's just that there is no way, everyone is here to build roads, and they have no money. That's all. A little thought..."
Fangzheng smiled and said: "As long as it doesn't bring confusion to the life of the benefactor, it is more or less up to the benefactor's will. Remember what the poor monk said, the Buddha wants you to live better, not make you live worse for the sake of worshiping the Buddha. Don't go the other way."
"Haha... I understand this." Liu Tao nodded, and stuffed the money into the merit box, and then he was relieved, and the uncomfortable feeling of owing others disappeared.
Fangzheng bent down to pick up Liu Tao's cell phone, and said with both hands: "Benefactor, don't leave this cell phone behind."
Liu Tao scratched his head and smiled embarrassingly, then quickly changed the subject and said, "Master, that... I'll go to work first, ha."
After finishing speaking, Liu Tao ran away. Thinking about the embarrassment just now, Liu Tao's old face was really burning, and he couldn't stand it anymore.
Liu Tao left, and Fang Zheng closed the gate of the temple. Anyway, the mountain road up the mountain is basically under construction, and outsiders can't get in. It doesn't make much sense whether the gate can be opened or not.
After closing the gate, the monastery is Fangzheng's small world. At this moment, he doesn't have to keep a straight face, he looks like an eminent monk, his smile is brighter, less restrained, more indulgent, and said with a smile: "System, Sajia What about the reward?"
"Do you want to draw a lottery now?" the system asked.
"Let's smoke it! I'm in a good mood today, let's see what good things I can get!" Fangzheng said with a smile.
"Ding! Congratulations, you got a cold bamboo seed."
"Uh, system, are you kidding me? I saved a person anyway, so you just give me a seed?" Fangzheng was completely dizzy.
"Don't be dissatisfied, this is the seed of cold bamboo. Cold bamboo, a special bamboo that grows above the snow line of Lingshan Mountain, looks similar to ordinary bamboo, but it is more verdant and green like carved from precious jade. The unique fragrance of bamboo can repel mosquitoes. The point is, it smells really good..." the system said.
Fangzheng rolled his eyes and said, "So what? No matter how awesome it is, it's just a seed, can it go to heaven?"
"A seed? Haha... ignorant guy, go and find out what kind of plant bamboo is. Also, do you want it? If not, I will throw it away." The system said.
"Don't! I want! I want it! It's hard to draw a lottery, how can I not?" Fangzheng hurriedly shouted, no matter how thin a mosquito's legs are, it's still meat, and it's better to put the drawn things there than to throw them away.
The next moment, Fangzheng saw a ball of Buddha's light in front of his eyes. He stretched out his hand to catch it, and the Buddha's light dispersed, and a green seed appeared. He picked it up and looked at the sun. It was very transparent, like jade in front of him, so beautiful !
"A friendly reminder, this is Buddhist cold bamboo, you can set its growth range," the system said.
Fangzheng was stunned, and shouted: "Can you still set the growth range? System, don't be ridiculous, where can a seed grow? I'm thinking, just plant it in the yard and forget it."
"Hehe..." The system sneered twice, his voice full of contempt for the illiterate and ignorant.
With a black line hanging on Fang Zheng's forehead, he said, "System, you can easily get beaten for laughing like that."
"Hehe..." The system continued to laugh.
Fangzheng: "23￥#x-on:..."
Fangzheng took out his mobile phone and quickly looked up Zhuzi's information, otherwise he would be ridiculed by the system all the time, and the mud bodhisattva would be angry, not to mention that he is a fake monk.
"Bamboo, also known as Bamboo. There are many varieties, including Arrow bamboo... usually grown in sheets by underground creeping rhizomes"
"Grow in pieces?" Fangzheng immediately grasped the point, and shouted, "Isn't this bead growing from one seed?"
"It's okay to read "One Hundred Thousand Whys" more, and I'm not your nanny." The system also complained a little weakly, but still replied: "Han bamboo has all the advantages and characteristics of bamboo. One bamboo grows, but the root system of bamboo can expand infinitely, and it can grow countless bamboos. In addition, the growth speed of bamboo is far faster than other trees, and you will soon know what it means that a bamboo can grow into a forest in a year. "
Fangzheng was suddenly ecstatic! I thought it was just a piece of bamboo, which was useless. Now it seems that he can also see the lush green bamboo forests in the south in the north. Thinking about the beautiful bamboo forests on the Internet, Fangzheng suddenly burst into laughter, and said happily: "Not bad..."
Fangzheng continued to read the information.
"It can also reproduce by flowering and setting seeds. The seeds are called bamboo rice. Some kinds of bamboo shoots are edible."
Fangzheng's heart trembled, and he shouted, "Can you still eat it?"
"The bamboo shoots of cold bamboo are edible, and they are rich in various vitamins, anti-oxidant, anti-aging, and have many benefits. Of course, as long as you have good teeth and appetite, you can also eat adult bamboo." The system said lazily.
Fangzheng became happier all of a sudden, eating has always been Fangzheng's most concerned issue. Perhaps eminent monks who have attained the Tao care more about scriptures and Buddhist principles. But Fangzheng, a guy who wants to return to vulgarity, is very concerned about eating. Although crystal rice is delicious, eating it every day is inevitably a bit monotonous. I just don't eat crystal rice, and eating other things tastes like chewing gum, which is really hard to swallow.
And willow wormwood buds and dandelions can only be eaten for a while, and after this period of time, they will be gone. If you want to eat vegetables again, you can only grow them yourself, but where do you get the seeds? Do you want to go down the mountain? I'm a bit thin-skinned, sorry how to break it?
Now with Hanzhu, Fangzheng sees hope, and can finally change his taste! It's still crisp and delicious bamboo shoots, I haven't eaten yet, just thinking about it, my eyes narrowed with a smile.
Fangzheng continued to check the information, and the more he looked, the more he was surprised. In addition to the functions mentioned by the system, bamboo also has a lot of nutrients, vitamins, low sugar, low fat, and high fiber. It is simply a miracle! It is also recorded in various medical techniques in China, and has more functions: "Famous Doctors" said that it "mainly quenches thirst, improves water channels, nourishes qi, and can be eaten for a long time"; Blood vessels, phlegm and salivation, digestion and swelling", especially good at clearing heat and phlegm.
After reading these, Fangzheng couldn't put it down to the cold bamboo seeds, but the question came, where should I plant them?
PS: There are still a few hours until the end of this month, but there are still more than 20 monthly tickets before the old cow chrysanthemum will be exploded. I am rolling around begging for a monthly ticket... Uh, it seems that there will be an update tomorrow, go to the code.
