Chapter 523: Dao Yan Accepts Disciples
Miaozang and Gu Zikai went out with Daoyan, but they didn't see Tanzong and Hui Ling, and they didn't know where they went.
The two of them didn't ask where they were going or what they were sitting, anyway, the experience during this time made several people realize that no matter what Dao Yan did, he had a purpose. And many times you don't know what his purpose is, and you will doubt Daoyan's goal after the fact.
Otherwise, a lot of things are just too coincidental.
Just like when I wanted to go through the formalities of establishing a monastery before, several people went out every day at the behest of Daoyan, and then they encountered all kinds of things on the way. It doesn't seem to be related, it's all accidental, and then everyone reacts according to their habits.
But in the end, I found that the people and things that everyone met seemed to be related to the formalities, and they were all developing in a good way.
At this time, several people were suspicious.
For Dao Yan, he gradually developed a sense of fear from the bottom of his heart.
After all, this ability is too terrifying for ordinary people, even if they are a few martial artists.
A few people transferred to two buses, and walked for more than ten minutes to an overpass, just on the overpass, they saw a lot of old people sitting on both sides, some were still wearing robes, holding a book to read.
When I looked at the four corners pressed with stones in front of me, and there were various patterns of cloth on them, I immediately knew what kind of place this was, and it turned out to be a place where all stalls were set up for fortune telling.
Dao Yan took the two of them forward, and the two of them looked left and right, eight-character fortune-telling, Zhou Yi fortune-telling, feng shui physiognomy, Ziwei Doushu, it can be said that there is everything.
And the three of them also attracted crowds of onlookers here.
After all, it is relatively rare for a monk to appear in such a place.
Originally, Miao Zang and Wei Buxian thought that Dao Yan was passing by here, but they didn't expect Dao Yan to stop in front of a stall.
The stall owner is a middle-aged man in his forties, who is relatively young on this flyover, wearing an old horse coat and a Tang costume that has been changed and is there with his eyes closed. Feeling that someone stopped in front of the stall, he opened his eyes and saw that the person in front of him was slightly stunned, but he still reacted quickly: "How many people want to tell the hexagram?" ”
The stall owners of several stalls around also pricked up their ears.
"Come and make a fortune." Dao Yan sat directly on the pony in front of the stall.
"You're here to turn into a fate for me?" The stall owner looked at Dao Yan with a smile after being surprised.
"Poof" Several stall owners around laughed, not to mention the monk looking for fortune telling, this monk also found the wrong person, who here doesn't know that this middle-aged man is the one who picks the door, and he is usually reluctant to even eat and drink.
Don't look at him, he is the youngest among them, and he doesn't look remarkable, but a few people know that he has a ability, and he is not a little bit better than others. As for how powerful it is, these people here can't figure out his details anyway.
It's just that he has a weird personality, he doesn't solicit customers very much, and he often pushes out when he comes to the door, and over time there are fewer people looking for him. However, there are always a few people who come to invite him every time, sometimes he is in a good mood and goes with him, sometimes he ignores it, and someone will come again in a few days.
Miao Zang and Wei Buxian had gone through so many things before, and they knew that Dao Yan was really unfathomable, but at this time, they still felt that his behavior was really strange.
"I'll tell you about the law, the donor will give me some money and make a good relationship, donor, do you think it's good?" Dao Yan nodded and smiled at the few stall owners around him, and then looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.
"There are so many people here, why are you looking for me?" The middle-aged man said.
"Naturally, you are destined for me!" Dao Yan said: "There are thousands of living beings in the world, each with its own cause and effect. You and I have a cause, and I will come to help you, to produce a good cause, and to get a good result. ”
"I'm not interested in Buddhism, I don't have any money, you're looking for the wrong person." The middle-aged man glanced at Dao Yan a few times, closed his eyes, and didn't want to say any more.
"It doesn't matter if you're interested in Buddhism or not, what matters is whether you can realize something, otherwise your life will be like fishing for the moon in water." Dao Yan said unhurriedly.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately opened his eyes, his eyes flashed, and he carefully looked at the triangular eyes in front of him, like a monk like a sick tiger. Who is the total in the heart, and how do you find yourself?
The middle-aged man's face was cloudy and uncertain a few times, and finally sat up a little straighter, and said to Dao Yan, "Please advise." ”
"Then Ananda, and all the people, heard the Buddha's teachings, and their bodies and minds were calm! Thinking has no beginning, loses the original heart, vainly recognizes the fate of the dust, and separates the shadows. Today's enlightenment, like a lost child, suddenly met a loving mother, and bowed to the Buddha with his palms. May it be as it comes, revealing the body and mind, the truth and delusion, the virtual and the real, the present and the past life and death, and the non-birth and destruction, the two inventive ......"
Dao Yan first read the second volume of the Lengyan Sutra, and then asked, "Have you gained anything?" ”
The middle-aged man listened attentively from the time Dao Yan recited the first word, and then his face was contemplative. It took a long time to come back to his senses: "It's still a lot worse." ”
Dao Yan didn't say a word, and read the second volume of the "Lengyan Sutra" again.
The middle-aged man's face became even more solemn, "This scripture is already clear, and it is still a little short." ”
"World-honored! If the bodhisattvas enter samadhi, study without leakage, win the enlightenment, and I appear as a Buddha, and for the sake of teaching, to liberate them; If you have learned, the silence is wonderful, and the victory is wonderful. I am in front of him, and I am alone in my body, and I am the Dharma, so that it can be liberated......"
Dao Yan recited a passage of scripture again, this time in the sixth volume of the Lengyan Sutra.
This time, Dao Yan's thoughts were even slower, especially when he paused from time to time, leaving the same time for middle-aged people to think.
In fact, the middle-aged man was also shocked in his heart, and whenever he felt that he couldn't keep up, Dao Yan would stop, giving him time to think and memorize the scriptures that Dao Yan preached. It seems that Dao Yan is like a roundworm in his heart.
At the end, after Daoyan finished reading this scripture, the middle-aged man said for a long time: "I have gained a little." ”
Dao Yan laughed at this time: "Do you want to be like that monkey?" ”
Miao Zang and Gu Zikai didn't quite understand what Dao Yan and the middle-aged man were doing from the beginning.
Judging from what Dao Yan said, this middle-aged man seemed to have something to understand, and Dao Yan specially came to solve his doubts.
However, most of what the two said was incomprehensible, and they could only guess a little. Now that I heard Dao Yan say such a sentence, I feel even more inexplicable.
The middle-aged man listened to Dao Yan's words, his face showed a look of struggle, and then he gritted his teeth and turned over and fell to the ground: "Ask the master to accept me as an apprentice." ”
This sudden change made the people around them look inexplicable, what the hell is going on with these two people? Said a bunch of unclear words, said a bunch of Buddhist scriptures, and then this apprenticeship?
"You're also shrewd and know where the opportunity lies." Dao Yan laughed. "In that case, you can go with me."
Miaozang and the others looked at Dao Yan with a blank face and accepted a disciple.
