The two seats at the entrance of the Bailan Temple are tall, and the white marble lion is lifelike. As soon as you enter the temple gate, there is a Maitreya Buddha statue in the leading hall, Maitreya is fat and smiling to welcome all directions, the big belly can accommodate the world, and it gives people a sense of intimacy when you look at it.

Next to Maitreya Buddha is Veda with a black mouth and a black face, with a serious appearance. Wei Tuo took a Wei Tuo pestle, and looked at the position and direction of Wei Tuo's pestle, you can know the specifications of the world.

If the Vedic pestle is carried on the shoulder, it means that the temple is a large temple, and the monks who travel here can be entertained for free to eat and stay for three days; if the Vedic pestle is flat in the hand, it means that the temple is a medium-sized temple, and the monks who have traveled here can be entertained for free to eat and stay for one day.

If the Vedic pestle is on the ground, it means that the temple is a small temple, and it is not possible to entertain monks who travel here for free food and lodging. The Vedic pestle of Bailan Temple is placed on the shoulder, a Buddhist holy place, a big temple!

The first time she went to Bailan Temple, Zhao Xiangyi shuttled between the Buddha statues in a novel way, looking east and west. Yang Jiong changed into an ordinary robe, tied a silver-white belt around his waist, and his hair was more than an inch long, barely covering the ring scar.

There were several young monks in the temple, and when they saw Yang Jiong, they felt familiar, very much like the former master of the law. But seeing Yang Jiong and Zhao Xiangyi walking, they didn't dare to come forward to inquire.

Walk through the Kannon Hall, the Jizo Hall, and the Arhat Hall. Most of the people who came in and out of the temple were young novices, and Yang Jiong had never met a familiar brother or a close person. He pulled Xiangyi and walked directly to the back of the temple.

Daoji and other Taoist monks are the highest generation in Bailan Temple. Most of them live next to the Luohan Hall.

Visitors to the Guanyin Hall and the Jizo Hall can enter and exit at will. When you arrive at the Luohan Hall, it is basically a place where monks live, and women are not allowed to enter here.

There are two couplets hanging at the door of the Luohan Hall, which are not couplets, and the upper couplets are: "Heaven and earth are enlightened, and Taoism is natural." The next link is: "Wisdom and wisdom, quiet and bright light." This is the origin of the sixteen characters of the monk Dharma name of Bailan Temple.

Yang Jiong pulled Zhao Xiangyi across the door. A young monk stopped Yang Jiong and bowed: "Donor, please stay, this is the place where monks live, please go to other places to play." ”

He looked at Yang Jiong carefully, and suddenly said nervously: "The donor is, but ...... Be...... Uncle Fayuan?"

Yang Jiong chuckled and said: "There is no law in this world anymore, and now standing in front of you is the layman Yang Jiong." I'm going to see my master Dao Ji, who is now available in the Luohan Hall?"

The little monk exclaimed: "Sure enough, it's Uncle Fayuan, the little monk has taken a self-precept and seen Uncle Shi." Uncle Dao Jishi is not in Luohan Hall. The generations of Bailan Temple are: "...... Heaven and earth are enlightened, Taoism is natural, wisdom is round, and Jinghong is bright...... "This little monk is a self-word generation."

Yang Jiongqi said: "He is not in the Luohan Hall, where will he be? After the Shengjing Buddha fight, didn't the master and the others come back? You tell me about the situation in the temple." ”

The little monk Zijing led Yang Jiong and the others to a side hall, made them tea, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Yu, after Uncle Shengjing Buddha won a big victory, and the ancestor and his party came back. The temple elders' house is ready to give your uncle your old man the title of great Zen master. ”

He looked at Yang Jiong, the person in front of him was twenty-two years old, so young that his skin could pinch out water. The little monk said in his heart: "He is about the same age as himself, is it too much to call him an old man?"

"And then?" Yang Jiong said urgently.

The little monk finally swallowed back the words "you old man". He continued, "Master Daoji suddenly announced at the elders' meeting that he had expelled you from the sect and given you a return to the world. Everyone was shocked. ”

"The elders in the temple are all against Daoji Shizu, you are always the leader of Buddhism and martial arts in our Bailan Temple, how can you say that you will be expelled." Moreover, without the consent of the Senate and the Court, he violated the rules of the temple by expelling you privately. ”

"The elders and Dharma protectors in the temple want to know what big mistakes you have always made. But no matter how he asked Ji Shizu, he didn't say why. Just tell the people that you must chase you if you break the precepts. ”

"Later, the twelve elders of the House of Elders, the eight protectors of the court, and the presiding officers and abbots of other temples reached an agreement. If you do not agree with the actions of the Dao Ji Master, retain your title and status, and hold the Dao Ji Master accountable. ”

Yang Jiong hurriedly said: "What about the final result?"

The little monk said: "Everyone argued for a long time, and it was not until two days later that there was a result. Daoji Shizu resigned as the presiding abbot of Bailan Temple, did not enter the elder group, and went to the Houshan Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to manage the scriptures, and the title was reduced from the great Zen master to the Zen master. ”

Yang Jiong's heart ached, the demotion of the title is the most severe punishment for a virtuous monk, why didn't the master explain to everyone the reason for his own vulgarity? In fact, returning the vulgar is what he wants, and it has nothing to do with the master. For his own sake, he shouldered this responsibility with all his might.

He asked, "Where is the master now?"

Monk Zijing nodded and said, "It's been more than ten days since the ancestor, and there is also Uncle Fa Ming. Uncle, are you ready to return to Bailan Temple?"

Yang Jiong shook his head with a heavy heart, which was considered to be an answer to his question. The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is in the back mountain, and it is necessary to pass through the Luohan Hall. Yang Jiong pulled Zhao Xiangyi and hurried to the Scripture Pavilion.

The little monk saw Zhao Xiangyi, who was beautiful and fragrant, and then saw that Yang Jiong had begun to grow his hair, and immediately understood that the law was in the past, and it was impossible for him to come back to be a monk. For a time, it was both envy and admiration. He looked at Zhao Xiangyi's slender back, and his heart, which had been calm for more than ten years, began to ripple.

The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is on the edge of the cliff deep in the back mountain, and it is heavily guarded on three sides, and the other side is a cliff. It is sparsely populated, except when there is a need for scriptures, and there are monks who come to get them. Normally, no one comes here. This is an important part of the temple and is not for visitors to visit.

On both sides, the ancient Baisen is walking on the stone-paved path, which makes people feel refreshed. Yang Jiong was familiar with the road, and after walking for a while, he said to the side: "Yang Jiong, a secular person, has something to ask to see Master Daoji." Please make it convenient for the monk on duty, Yang Jiong is very grateful. ”

Behind the two ancient cypresses, one person came out, both of whom were over fifty years old. They said to Yang Jionghe Shidao Weisheng Buddha: "The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is important, if you are not a disciple of the Buddhist family of my Bailan Temple, you are not allowed to trespass, the two donors, please go back." ”

Yang Jiong said: "Daoji is my master, and it is reasonable for the disciple to ask the master to meet him." I also ask the two senior brothers to raise their noble hands and make it convenient. ”

"Are you a Dharma Yuan junior brother?" one of the monks asked.

"It's my junior brother, and now my common name is Yang Jiong." ”

The two monks are both high-ranking monks of the Dharma generation, and they are quite familiar with the Dharma. They looked at Yang Jiong a few times, and after confirming that it was him, they stepped forward in surprise and asked, "Senior brother shines in Shengjing Buddha Bi, and adds a lot of glory to my Longteng and Bailan Temple." Why was you suddenly expelled by Uncle Shi? Are you going to go back to the door wall this time?"

As soon as he finished asking, he saw him holding Zhao Xiangyi's soft twing, so they closed their mouths together. He brought his daughter-in-law over, how could he return to Buddhism.

Yang Jiong said: "Thank you two senior brothers for your concern, I asked the master for returning the vulgar matter." When I come back this time, I am going to go to the Bronze Man Formation and return the master to an innocence. Everything is my sin and has nothing to do with the master. ”

The two Dharma Protector monks didn't say anything more, and pointed to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and said, "Uncle Shi is on the second floor." Although you now claim to be a layman, the temple has not really removed you. Therefore, you can also go to the Scripture Pavilion, but you can't stay for a long time. ”

Yang Jiong thanked the two senior brothers and took Zhao Xiangyi directly to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. At the door, he was blocked by a Taoist monk. In the end, Zhao Xiangyi stayed at the door, and Yang Jiong went directly to the second floor.
