(Add a more chapter.) Thank you for the book friends who rewarded before.,But I'm relatively slow to code.,I haven't been able to add more thanks.。 I've finally added a chapter today. )
On the same day, the two refused Huisheng's retention, and returned to Chaisang without even eating dinner, and only found a place to eat after buying a ticket to western Fujian.
After eating, the two sat in the noodle shop and watched TV to rest, and Xingjing remembered that the actions of the Big Buddha Temple were still a little indignant.
Xingjing was originally more arrogant, but after entering the temple, the arrogance was worn off a lot. There is no way, there are too many masters in the temple, no matter which one of Lu Zhishen and the others is, he is far from being an opponent. The original Xingzang was not under him.
Now the arrogance is almost grinded, but the rectum character is also exposed.
And the hard work is steady, and the people can be tolerant, and the two of them can play a complementary role in doing things together, and Su Wen also considered it at that time to let the two go down the mountain together.
The two arrived in western Fujian at noon the next day, and arrived at Lianshan Temple in the afternoon.
Not to mention this Lianshan Temple, it must be much less than the Iron Buddha Temple.
A total of more than 100 square meters of the main hall, two side halls, seven or eight bungalows, and a courtyard is all of the Lianshan Temple.
There are only five monks in the temple.
The people in Lianshan Temple were a little surprised to see the two, but they warmly invited the two to enter.
Poured the Buddha on the pillar incense, saluted the Buddha, and the two of them followed to a room next to them to talk.
"Dare to ask the Master, what happened a few days ago about Huiding in the Iron Buddha Temple and the people in the Big Buddha Temple. ”
After asking the question, the monk's face changed.
After all, this is also an extremely embarrassing thing for the people in Lianshan Temple, and being reprimanded by other temple masters in front of many ordinary people is an experience that even the monks can't see, let alone want to mention it.
"Hui Ding suffered a seizure of injuries after leaving, and now his liver is almost necrotic, and he almost lost his life. "Doing bitterness and saying.
The monk exclaimed, "How can this be?"
"My brother and I are here to explore this matter, and I hope that my brother can tell me the truth. ”
"Are you from that Pure Heart Temple in the East China Sea?" the monk asked, looking at the two of them. Even if he is closed to the news, he has heard a little bit about the name of the Pure Heart Temple.
"Exactly. Xing nodded bitterly, and then said what he had said to Huisheng at that time.
When the monk heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Let the two of you laugh." ”
Then the matter was told from beginning to end, and Xing Ku and Xing Jing compared what Huisheng said and found that there was not much difference.
In other words, this incident was indeed an incident in the Big Buddha Temple, and then Huiding was injured.
Although he didn't see the mage slapping Hui Ding with the tip of his elbow, he heard Hui Ding complain about it later, so it can be confirmed.
After listening to the monk's words, Xingjing and Xingjing no longer had any doubts.
"Do you know anything about the Big Buddha Temple?" asked Xing Ku again. He now wondered what the Great Buddha Temple's style was like.
The monk recalled and guessed: "The Big Buddha Temple originally had some fame in southern Fujian, but compared with now, it is far inferior. It should have been since the current abbot of the Big Buddha Temple took over, and the reputation of the Big Buddha Temple has become more and more famous, and there are more and more believers. As for the rest, I don't know much about it. ”
Hearing this, Xing Ku was slightly disappointed. But no matter what, he has to walk around southern Fujian and inquire about the situation of the Big Buddha Temple.
"By the way, I remembered something. The monk suddenly raised his head again: "It is said that several lay people in the Big Buddha Temple sold all their family property and donated it to the Big Buddha Temple to grab the position of the sponsor. ”
The sponsor is the benefactor who makes offerings to the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha, Tan Yue. In Buddhism, those who give away pure wealth are the sponsors, and those who are dedicated to doing business or enthusiastically attracting others to Buddhism so that Buddhism can flourish can also be called sponsors.
In most monasteries, there are sponsors, and they are the most worshiped people when the festival is held, but it is a bit too much to go bankrupt in order to become a sponsor.
Furthermore, ordinary monasteries will not agree to lay people doing this, and it is ugly to say, it is like killing chickens to extract eggs.
"How are the sponsors?" Xing Ku asked.
"I don't know, it seems that I left my family and lived in the Big Buddha Temple, and I don't know anything else. ”
Seeing that there was no more information here, Xingjing and Xingjing took their leave and left.
After leaving the temple, Xingjing said: "Senior brother who works hard, he bankrupts his family and donates merits, these people are simply too ......."
He didn't finish his words, he wanted to say that he was like a demon, but he felt that something was wrong, so he swallowed it raw.
He also frowned, feeling that it was indeed too much to donate money to the benefactor. However, this may be a personal will, and it does not mean anything, and it is impossible for others to blame the Great Buddha Temple with this. It can be seen from the fact that the monk finally remembered such a question.
Next, the two of them wandered around southern Fujian and inquired about the Big Buddha Temple.
There is one thing that makes the two a little strange, outside of southern Fujian, the Big Buddha Temple is not very famous, but in southern Fujian, many of the laymen of the Big Buddha Temple are extremely fanatical.
Not only did some people go bankrupt and donate their benefactors, but they also often had conflicts with lay people from other monasteries, and even clashed with believers from other religions. They are a little more aggressive than Catholics.
Moreover, in two years, the number of monks in the Great Buddha Temple has increased from less than 100 to more than 400, and most of the increase is ordained by ordinary laymen, and there are very few monks from other monasteries.
There is also the Great Buddha Temple, which has always been the dojo of the Tiantai sect, but last year, after the rise of the Pure Heart Temple, it was directly revealed to be a Zen lineage, and many lay people have quite a calm opinion on this matter.
These things add up to make the two of them feel that this big Buddha temple is a little weird.
To put it simply, now the Pure Heart Temple is so prosperous, there are all kinds of miraculous things, and the reputation in the outside world is greater than that of the Big Buddha Temple, but the people who go to the Pure Heart Temple to become monks are not as many as the Great Buddha Temple, and the laymen are not so fanatical.
You must know that in this day and age, it is already difficult to make ordinary people fanatical about believing in anything. Unless it is like the Pure Heart Temple, which has considerable strength itself, and it is possible after a long time.
But it took two years for the Big Buddha Temple to do all this.
Continuing to inquire, the two were even more frightened.
Although there are only a few people who donate money and donations, since they have been to the Great Buddha Temple, they do not work, but only practice at home every day, or gather and practice with other lay people, and do not bear the responsibilities of the family at all. Among them are the elderly, office workers, school teachers, and small traders.
Moreover, as far as the two of them have heard these days, there are many city-level officials who often go to the Big Buddha Temple, and they don't care about other people's opinions at all.
The more things they found, the more frightened the two became.
There is definitely something wrong with this Big Buddha Temple.
At night, Xing Ku and Xing Jing were looking for a place to settle somewhere in southern Fujian.
"It's time for us to go back. Xing Ku said, today he has a bad feeling, as if someone is staring at him. The things that the two of them had heard these days were enough to go back and report to the abbot, so he also had the intention of going.
Originally, he had planned to leave again tomorrow, but he could feel a feeling of depression from time to time, so he also changed his mind and prepared to leave immediately.
Xingjing listened to Xingku's words and did not speak, but stepped forward to block Xingku's behind.
At the intersection in front of him, a monk wearing a big red robe: "The two of you have been in southern Fujian for so long, why don't you let me do my best to be a landlord?"
"It's ...... The monks of the Great Buddha Temple?" "But how did they know about the two of them?"
You must know that the two of them have not even approached the Big Buddha Temple in the past few days.
