65 grievances and hatreds

Hearing the noise outside, Xingjue slowly walked out.

Zhu Wen, who was shouting, saw Xingjue come out, and his momentum suddenly became half shorter.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said very respectfully: "Master, disciple Zhu Wen, all your heart is to the Buddha." Today, I am willing to give up my life to serve the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. I hope that Master will be fulfilled. ”

Xingjue glanced at the beams on the ground and said lightly: "Medicine and medicine do not die and disease, and the Buddha is destined to be a person---。 You and I don't have a chance, how can we fulfill it?"

Zhu Wen said excitedly: "There is fate, there is fate, Master, the fate of the two of us is not shallow."

Seeing that Xingjue does not believe,

Zhu Wen told the story of how Xingjue gave him a horse to pay off the debt.

Everyone was amazed when they heard this.

Xingjue also exclaimed: "I really didn't expect that the poor little shepherd boy who dragged two buckets of snot back then has now become a big man?"

Zhu Wen hit the railway while it was hot: "Our deep fate is also cultivated in the previous life. Please take me, a dull disciple, Master. ”

Xingjue lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "You can stay and do some rough work first." When the opportunity is ripe, I am thinking about apprenticeship. ”

In this way, Zhu Wen stayed in the monastery for three years, and during this period, Zhang Hui also came here to burn incense and worship the Buddha. But they are all hugging from the front and back, and they can't get close to the front and back protection by the soldiers.

With a name like Zhu Wen, let alone getting close, he can't even enter the courtyard. So, even though the blood boils every time, it still ends up being cold.

At this point, it was impossible to think about it, so Zhu Wen had to stay in the temple and slowly look for opportunities.

It's time to purchase grain and vegetables in the temple again, and this kind of rough work is usually done by Zhu Wen.

He is active by nature, but he can't bear loneliness, so he can go to the market.

At noon, Zhu Wen was biting on the sugar gourd with relish, while driving two donkey carts with three laymen. Pull the grain, fruits and vegetables back to the temple.

As soon as I turned around the eagle's beak ditch, I heard a scream on the opposite mountain.

I saw that on the top of the cliff, a person rolled down the hillside like a stone. The three lay people were so frightened that they folded their hands and chanted Amitabha Buddha in unison.

Zhu Wen was as bold as a fight, and extremely curious, so he said to the three laymen: "Saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter." You should drive the grain cart back to the temple first, and I will go over and see, maybe I can save a life?"

Zhu Wen overcame thorns and thorns, and pulled out his feet. I finally came to the bottom of the olecranon ditch. I saw a man lying next to the sour jujube tree. There was blood all over his body.

Zhu Wen stepped forward and kicked him, but when he saw that he didn't move, he opened the man's bag again. I couldn't help but say disappointedly: "Lao Tzu ran so far away, but there was only one dead body." Not even a copper coin. ”

He took a sip and was just about to leave, when he suddenly remembered that when he was killed, Master Xingjue gave him a horse to help. Later, I often taught myself that there is compassion everywhere in life. Since this happened to me, I have compassion and bury him.

Zhu Wen turned the man over, and just wanted to lift it to a big pit next to him, only to hear a shout, the man let out a long breath, and Zhu Wen was startled. When I reached out and touched his nostrils, there was still a faint breath. I couldn't help but be overjoyed: "This is the opportunity given by the Emperor Bodhisattva to save me? If I rescue him, the abbot will definitely praise me, and I don't even know if I can get some rewards." ”

Thinking of this, Zhu Wen did not avoid filth, and carried the man back to the Puyuan Temple, and after settling him into his bed, he went to Master Xingjue to see what to do.

Xingjue was originally a general and was proficient in all kinds of red injury surgery. They often carry holy medicines such as Jinchuang Medicine and Hemostatic Powder with them.

So after Xingjue was busy, he said to Zhu Wen, "It's okay." This man has no worries about his life. You can save people despite the fatigue and compassion, it can be seen that the Buddha is very deep, from tomorrow, you will be in charge of the logistics of the temple. ”

Zhu Wen rubbed his hands happily and kept saying, "Abbot Xie trusts, Abbot Xie promotes." ”

Since the abbot knew that the man who was saved by Zhu Wen was named Zhao Xin, he rarely showed up. Occasionally, he is also in a hurry, and recently there have been rumors that the abbot is going to retreat and cultivate

Zhao Xin's injury is getting better day by day, not only can he move freely, but sometimes he can also help the temple do some fine work. He was very grateful to Zhu Wen for saving his life, and Zhu Wen also liked him for being smart and wise. The two soon became close friends who talked about everything.

When he was sleeping at night, Zhao Xin probed and asked, "Brother Zhu, I often see you staring into the distance." Do you have something on your mind, say it and listen to it, I have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time and have seen a lot of knowledge, maybe I can help you come up with some ideas?"

Zhu Wen sighed: "No way, it's not easy for me to do this?"

Zhao Xin smiled: "What makes the eldest brother worry like this? I think that things are man-made, as long as you are willing to work hard, there is nothing you can't do." ”

Zhu Wenleng paused for a moment, got up from the bed and said, "What you said is right, but this matter is too difficult, and I can't even take the first step,"

Then he herded his sheep, lost his sheep, gave horses to Xingjue, and met Zhang Hui while hunting, and recounted the experience of being unable to extricate himself.

Zhao Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Big brother, the matter between you and Zhang Hui is not hopeless. ”

"But if you wait like this, there will never be any hope. ”

"Don't say that you can't get close to Zhang Hui now, even if you stay by her side every day, what strength do you have to make him promise him?"

Zhu Wen was stunned and said, "I haven't considered this, what tricks does my brother have?"

Zhao Xin frowned and said: "Between heaven and earth, the eldest husband is either powerful or rich. Or money and power. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to get the woman you love, but you won't even be able to keep your ugly mother-in-law. ”

Zhu Wen scratched his head and said helplessly: "We are poor, where can we have money and power?"

Zhao Xin said with a smile: "Heroes are born in troubled times, and now it is in troubled times, and the Tang Dynasty Emperor can no longer hold back." Bandits are swarming from all over the country, and I have heard that the rebels of the Yellow Nest are coming here. The eldest brother has good skills, if he can get some money, put up a big banner to recruit troops, and when the time is ripe, he will support the army and respect himself, or join the imperial court, or join the righteous army of Huangchao. At this time, you are strong and strong, and you are proud of the world, who dares to provoke you? Then directly capture Songzhou, seize Zhang Rui, and force him to marry Zhang Hui to you, wouldn't everyone be happy?"

As soon as he said this, Zhu Wen's blood swelled. He walked around the room a few times, red-eyed and said, "Good idea, good idea." But recruiting soldiers requires money, where can I find this first gold and silver?"

Zhao Xin looked left and right and whispered: "You just said that when the abbot rescued you, he carried millions of silver tickets on his body, which is a lot of property, if you can get this money unknowingly, there will be no difficulty in the world." ”

Zhu Wen said worriedly: "The abbot once helped me, and now he treats me very well." Poisoning Engong is a villain's act, and I won't do it. You have to have some bottom line to be a human being, right?"

Zhao Xin sneered, "Ci does not lead soldiers, and righteousness does not raise wealth." If you are bound by pedantic morals today. You can't be ruthless. Not only will you miss the opportunity, but even future generations will complain that you are stupid. ”

Zhu Wen shook his head and said, "Don't force me, let me think about it." ”

Zhao Xin said anxiously: "What else is there to think about? With this idle time, it is better to think more about Zhang Hui." ”

Hearing Zhang Hui's name, Zhu Wen didn't hesitate anymore, he clasped his palms together and said loudly: "No matter, in order to get Zhang Hui, don't talk about Master, even kill my own mother, Lao Tzu will also ----。 Alas, Lao Tzu won't blink. ”

Zhao Xin hurriedly covered Zhu Wen's mouth and whispered, "Silence, don't let outsiders hear it." Venerable Xingjue is going into retreat next month, and this is the best time to plan and see how we can do it all. ”

In the blink of an eye, the day of Venerable Xingjue's retreat was approaching.

He called Xingyuan to hand over the affairs of the temple one by one, and Xingyuan asked suspiciously: "Abbot, you have only been in retreat for three months." Why did you hand over the entire temple to me?"

Xingjue raised his eyebrows and smiled: "This time I am not just a simple retreat, but looking for Master Xinghai after my soul is out of my body. After finding the Master, he may not come back."

Xingyuan cried: "Master went through a lot of hardships to create the Puyuan Temple, and you easily made the Fuyuan Temple prosperous. It can be seen that your blessings are greater than Master's. Now that the temple is so prosperous, how can you bear to abandon it?"

Xingjue sighed: "The cycle of karma is unpleasant, this is the injustice of my previous life. It has nothing to do with the temple, you have to fight it yourself. After you took charge of the temple, you ordered the disciples of the three thousand temples to patrol and protect the temple day and night. No one is allowed to take anything from the monastery without my own decree. ”

The third day after the retreat.

Zhu Wen and Zhao Xin took advantage of the night to touch the door of the chamber, and looked left and right and saw that there was no trace. Zhao Xin took out a wire from his arms and stabbed it into the lock hole, snapped, with a soft sound, the delicate chain lock jumped open automatically, and Zhu Wen gave Zhao Xin a thumbs up appreciatively.

The two bent down and walked into the chamber to observe by night. The furnishings of the chamber are very simple, except for the table and chairs, there are no utensils.

Zhu Wen asked uneasily: "There is no cabinet, where will the silver ticket be placed?" Also, we clearly saw the abbot enter the abbot's room for retreat, and Xingyuan personally locked the doors and windows outside. Why is there no one now?

Zhao Xin's nervous palms were sweating, and he trembled and said, "Isn't this clear? There must be a secret room in the chamber."

He reached out and groped on the ground, and when he reached the table, he found a bulge on the leg of the table, he pressed it hard, and with a squeak, the floor slowly parted to both sides, and a hole in the ground was completely presented in front of him.

The two of them glanced at each other, and entered the cave along the wooden ladder, the entrance of the cave was very small, and the cave was very wide. Although the decoration inside is simple, it has its own graceful and luxurious atmosphere, especially the fist-sized night pearl on the top of the head, which illuminates the entire cave as if it were day.

There is a lotus-shaped futon in the left corner of the basement, and on the top of the futon sits an old man with kind eyebrows, his hands folded and not angry. It is the abbot of the temple - the great monk of Xingjue.

Zhao Xin reached out and touched the porcelain jar at the door, then lifted the lid and looked inside. Xingjue moved slightly, and suddenly said aloud: "Don't look, how can I put the silver ticket in the jar?"

The two were startled, Zhu Wen took a step back in shock, and asked in a loud voice: "Abbot, aren't you settled? Why did you get out of the customs so quickly?"

Xingjue said with a smile: "I used to be a border general, and I killed people like numbness and bloody hands. Now although he has put down the butcher's knife, he has not yet become a Buddha. I knew that Zhao Xin wanted to calculate my silver ticket, but I didn't expect that you, Zhu Wen, would take revenge and act for the tiger. So my heart is like a mess, I'm so entangled, how can I settle down?"

Zhu Wen said embarrassedly: "Abbot, you have saved me, and you usually treat me very well." I have come to steal your silver ticket today, and it is indeed too lacking in virtue. But I Zhu Wen is ambitious and needs money to do a great job. Compared with this great cause and the small section, I can't care so much, please ask the abbot to obediently hand over the silver ticket, and when I take the world in the next day, I will return it to you twice."

Xingjue laughed and said: "Money is the root cause of trouble, when I built the temple, if I gave the rest of the money to the poor, how could I have today's troubles"?

"Since you want to use my money to rebel, I'm afraid you can't do it without paying a price, right?"

Zhu Wen pulled out the steel knife from behind his back and said slowly: "I really can't bear to attack you." But there's really no other way, Master, you just take it. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Wen suddenly made a move, and the knife slashed towards Xingjue with the sound of the wind. Xingjue's body flashed slightly, and his middle finger flicked to the knife surface like lightning, and with a clang, the steel knife became two.

Xingjue took advantage of the situation and threw himself into Zhu Wen's arms and slammed his palm into Zhu Wen's chest.

Zhu Wen is not as good as Xingjue in martial arts, but his body is like a cow with infinite strength, he fought hard to palm, grabbed Xingjue's shirt and shook it hard, with a muffled snort, Zhu Wen spit blood in his chest and sat on the ground, Xingjue was also thrown almost on the wall of the cave by a force, and all his teeth were knocked out.

Xingjue struggled to get up, and gave Zhu Wen a thumbs up and praised: Good, good, "Sure enough, born with divine power",

Zhu Wen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, hugged his fists and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect Master to be so old and have such martial arts, if you are ten years younger, the three Zhu Wen will not be your opponents."

Xingjue took out a stack of silver tickets from his bosom and said to Zhu Wen: "Take it, although you are rude and barbaric, it seems that only you have the courage to extinguish the source of chaos in today's world." Alas, as long as the people can stabilize. What's all that money for?"

Zhu Wen said gratefully, "Thank you, Master, for your mercy, and then motioned to Zhao Xin to go and get the silver ticket,"

Zhao Xin knelt on one leg and saluted Xingjue,

Xingjue handed the silver ticket to Zhao Xinhou and said with a smile: "Let's write off the debts of our past and present lives."

Zhao Xin took the silver ticket, and his left hand suddenly popped. A stream of yellow poison powder sprinkled Xingjue's face.

He didn't take a break, and when Xingjue couldn't open his eyes, he used a sharp dagger to slam into Xingjue's abdomen.
