Chapter 232: Greed and Blindness

While a few people were talking, a man in the grass was looking here, and he didn't know what the crowd was saying, ?21?? The old monk's whole body was on fire and burned to ashes, but he saw it clearly. 81. Seeing the situation here, his face was full of sweat, and he retreated cautiously a little bit, for fear that if he made any noise, he would be destroyed by these people.

The dumb monk was burned to ashes, although he didn't see how it was burned, but a person suddenly burst into flames all over his body out of thin air, and he didn't believe that it was born naturally. The only thing that puzzled him was that the old monk neither struggled nor screamed, just let the flames consume him.

"Abbot, there's someone snooping over there, do you want me to arrest him?" asked Hui Jue on the side.

"Let him go. Su Wen shook his head. In fact, his ears and eyes were not worse than Hui Jue, and he had already seen that person peeking into the grass to the side, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

"If you let him go, I'm afraid there will be trouble. Hui Jue said with some concern.

"Trouble always comes, don't worry too much. Su Wen smiled calmly.

As soon as he came to this Dharma transmission temple, Su Wen was snooped on from behind. took the opportunity to glance at it, although I didn't see it clearly, but the bald head was clear. When you meet a monk in this kind of place, you must be a monk from Lingshan Temple outside, but you don't know what the other party is spying on.

When he was looking for his way, the man said that he didn't know about the Dharma Temple, but he and the others entered the back mountain and followed behind, so there must be a reason for it. When I wait for others to go out of the mountain, I'm afraid everything will be revealed.

The peeping middle-aged monk withdrew some distance, and then quickly ran in a circle towards Lingshan Temple.

"Senior brother, senior brother, those people burned the old monk to death. When the monk ran back to the temple, his whole body was drenched in sweat, and he pulled the abbot aside and whispered to him, his face still pale, and it seemed that he had been frightened a lot. "Those people are so poor and vicious, not to mention robbing the robe, and burning the dumb monk to ashes, if we stop them, I'm afraid there will be big trouble, why don't you call the police?"

Although it had been agreed to block the group of people on the way out of the mountain, it was better to go and observe the situation alone for the sake of safety. As a result, this look made him see something unacceptable, and he was also frightened, and began to retreat.

"Don't be so flustered, what is going on, you tell me carefully. The abbot asked with a sinking face. What do people who are dozens of years old still so flustered when they encounter trouble? Even those in the temple who are only half his age are calmer than him.

"Yes, Abbot. The middle-aged monk let out two breaths, calmed down a little, and told what he had seen and heard on this trip. The Dharma Temple is not far from this Lingshan Temple, but it is just a dumb monk who does not go out of the mountain all the year round, and the location is too remote, so few people know.

He came out of the temple just after dawn in the morning, and he didn't catch up until Su Wen and the others arrived at the Dharma Temple, but he just happened to come out of the old monk after bathing in the stream, and led Su Wen and the others to the empty earthen house to worship the Buddha. Then the group came to the back of the house, and he couldn't see it from that angle, so he had to run around in a circle to look in the other direction. In the process of going around in circles, he delayed a lot of things.

When he came to the other side, he saw the old monk sitting cross-legged on the ground, and then white flames erupted all over his body, and finally burned to ashes.

"You say the dumb monk sat cross-legged on the ground motionless and burned to ashes, and there was no pile of timber and straw around?" asked the abbot with a frown. He grasped this problem from the other party's words, the other party traveled lightly when he went up the mountain, and he would not always come with gasoline, right? If there is no firewood, how can a person sit cross-legged on the ground and burn it directly to ashes?

"Yes, that's right, not even a sound. The middle-aged monk hurriedly replied.

"Was he dead or alive?" asked the abbot again.

"It seems to be alive, I watched him move a little, and he folded his salute. The middle-aged monk thought for a while and said.

"It's alive, it's not struggling, there's no sound, it's as if it's voluntarily burned to ashes, and there's no firewood or anything around it. The abbot singled out a few key points in the words of the middle-aged monk.

"When you say that, it seems like that. The middle-aged monk thought for a while and said. Only then did he realize that the scene was a little weird. The dumb monk could have been able to rush and then be burned to ashes by a fire, but strangely there was nothing around to catch fire.

At that time, I was frightened by that scene, for fear that I would be caught and burned by someone, so I didn't think much about it. But now that I think about it, something is wrong.

"Abbot, do you call the police?" the middle-aged monk asked cautiously.

"What do you call the police, what do you call the police, where has your brain grown after so many years of chanting Buddhism?" the abbot reprimanded. He himself said that the old monk was sitting there and burned to ashes by the flames out of thin air, so what else did he call the police?

However, this thing was a bit strange, and the abbot thought about it and called another monk. Although this person's cultivation is not high, and he is relatively wooden, his only advantage is that he loves to read, and he can be regarded as well-read.

"Warning, do you know that someone started a fire out of thin air and burned it to ashes?"

"Senior brother, I have seen this, there are records of people spontaneously combusting, and then burning themselves into coke, both at home and abroad. A middle-aged monk with glasses said.

"Then I'm a Buddhist, but this is the case. The abbot asked again.

"I am a ...... in Buddhism," the precept thought for a while, and said: "Some of the eminent monks of Tantric Buddhism are like nature when they are rainbow, and their whole bodies are wrapped in firelight, and then only Buddha treasures such as relics remain. When the Buddha attained nirvana, didn't he also burn himself out from the true fire?"

The abbot blushed when he heard this, and his mind was focused on the economy all these years, but he forgot a lot of this lesson, even when the Buddha was nirvana, everyone used ordinary fire but did not burn, and finally spewed out samadhi true fire from his chest to burn the Buddha's body.

Looking back, the old monk spontaneously combusted, and flames also rose from his body out of thin air, which is somewhat similar to this.

"Is that dumb monk a great monk?" the abbot thought about it, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was unlikely. It's not that there are no great monks, but if it is said that a dumb monk who lives in the mountains and often can't eat food is a great monk who can spontaneously combust his true fire, he really doesn't want to believe it, and he can't believe it.

Letting the precept retreat, the abbot thought for a while, and his heart was a little retreating. But as soon as he thought of the rumored robe treasure, his heart became hot again, and he was completely blinded by greed. As long as you get the robe, show it to people a few times every three or five days, and then say in the future that you have this treasure in this Lingshan Temple, I am afraid that you will immediately become famous. At that time, why did you still use your own painstaking management? Tourists and pilgrims gathered, and even senior brothers from other monasteries had to come to watch. A smile came to his face at the thought of this.

But I don't want to think about it, since the dumb monk **** nirvana after handing over things to that group of people, he must have something to do with those people. What is the difference between him wanting to rob the old monk now, and directly robbing the old monk? The little heart that the abbots of Lingshan Temple have been guarding for two hundred years is still on that road when he arrives here.

Whatever happened to the dumb monk, he was dead now. Those men are about to come out of the mountains, and whatever they say, they must leave the robe behind.

Thinking of this, the abbot said to the middle-aged monk who was waiting: "Precepts, you go and see if the other party can return when the time comes, and inform me." ”

The precepts were embarrassed, and after hesitating, they bowed their heads and retreated.

The abbot shook his head at his appearance, knowing that he was afraid. But this junior brother is really too irresponsible, but fortunately, he is still obedient. I don't want to think about it, are the dozens of people in my temple still afraid of those five or six people? Not to mention that there are old and young people inside. (To be continued.) )
