Chapter 370: Zen
Mu Wanqing asked in surprise: "Could it be true, could it be that the crab's belly really hides the evil monk of the Fahai?"
Abi Fang nodded, but a middle-aged monk in his forties passed by, and when he heard Mu Wanqing speak like this, he frowned, recited the Buddha's name, and folded his hands and said: "Amitabha, sins and sins, why did this female benefactor slander the sages and saints of our temple?"
Mu Wanqing's face turned red, and she opened her mouth and said, "Could it be that there is really a monk named Fahai in your temple?"
The monk's face was not angry, but he was still respectful and polite, and said: "Master Fahai is the patriarch of the abbot of my Jinshan Temple, and he should have it. ”
When Mu Wanqing and Abi heard him say this, they both opened their mouths wide, and looked at Li Daming with suspicion, could it be that the story is true? Li Daming wanted to laugh in his heart, this Fahai monk naturally has it, he is a generation of high-ranking monks, but he was scandalized by later generations with the story of "The Legend of the White Snake".
At that moment, he also saluted the monk and said: "Master don't be angry, we just heard a wild legend, but we can't take it true? ”
When the monk heard him say this, he calmed his anger, bowed to him and said, "I don't know what kind of wild news in the countryside, but the little monk is fortunate enough to hear it?"
Li Daming was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't see his face with a hat, so he said: "This legend is quite disrespectful to the Fahai monks, but I'm afraid it's not easy to tell." ”
The monk shook his head and smiled, and said, "The illusory world and the dust, everything is empty, how can you say that you like and dislike." ”
I didn't understand his words, but I could still hear the general meaning, so I said, "Okay, I hope the master won't be surprised!"
The monk said: "Although the scenery here is beautiful, but the river wind is quite strong, why don't you go to the tea house in the temple and take your time?"
Hurriedly thanked him and said, "That is the case, then bother, I don't know the master's name?"
The monk said: "The poor monk is called the dream relic, Tian is the presiding officer of this Jinshan Temple. ”
Li Daming almost fell to the ground, uh, there is really something called this, coughed embarrassedly at the moment, and said: "It turned out to be the abbot of the dream relic, disrespectful and disrespectful, under Li, Lang Jun,. These two are cheap. ”
The abbot of the dream relic nodded lightly to the two women, and then led the three of them to the mountain temple.
When they arrived at the guest house, the guest and the host sat down, served fragrant tea, and the abbot of the dream relict smiled: "The small temple is simple, I hope the owner is not strange!"
Hurriedly said: "Where is it, I see that the abbot is not an extraordinary person, Jinshan Temple will definitely be able to carry forward under the auspices of the abbot, and surpass the Shaolin Temple within a few years." ”
Talking to people, talking nonsense to ghosts, and the kung fu of slapping sycophants has not stopped.
Sure enough, the monk who had lost his dreams listened to his words, his face was happy, and he was even more attentive.
Li Daming smiled secretly, this dream monk is not like the monk who has attained the Tao, but like a businessman.
The fact is not bad, this dream monk was assigned to this Jinshan Temple as the host, but the Jinshan Temple is quite small, and lonely in the river, there is no income from the field, the pilgrims are incense, and they are quite troublesome here, so the situation of the Jinshan Temple is getting worse.
This time, the three of them visited Jinshan Temple, and the little novice on the mountain informed the abbot of the dream. Although the three of them were weird, they were gorgeously dressed, and they thought that they were people with a lot of gold, so they had the heart to paste some incense money.
Although he didn't know what he was thinking, he was also quite uneasy when he saw this Jinshan Temple like this, so he said: "I came rashly this time, and I didn't bring more incense and silver money, there are only three hundred taels here, so I should worship Master Fahai!"
The monk of the dream relics was a little surprised to take the three hundred taels of silver, and he muttered in his throat, and said in his heart, fortunately, I greeted it in person, and such a generous pilgrim must be closely contacted.
So the monk stood up, bowed down and said, "Then I thank the donor." ”
Hurriedly pulled him to sit down, and his heart was only three hundred taels of silver, and those rich families, if they went once, it was more than enough to mold a golden body for the old monk Fahai. Three hundred taels to leave a good reputation in Jinshan Temple, it's worth it! It's really worth it! His eyes flickered (note: wearing a hat, others can't see it, hum, hum), and he didn't know how to say that he opened a monument for himself.
Seeing that he didn't speak, he had an epiphany in his heart, and immediately said: "The donor is really a person who is destined for my Buddha, why don't you hang a name plate in this temple and erect a monument to praise the donor's Buddha's good deeds?"
Shameless push, the abbot of the dream just insisted, Zhang Hao said "helplessly": "In this case, the three hundred taels are also shabby, why don't you wait for him to come and make a golden body for Fahai Zen Master, senior brother, do you think it's okay?"
"If this is the case, it is really a blessing for my temple!" said with a smile on his long beard.
After a cup of tea, Mengyi asked, "I don't know the story of Senior Brother Fangcai, can you tell it for Senior Brother?"
Li Daming was in a good mood, so he told the story of "White Snake", but his eyes secretly glanced at the dream from time to time, but he saw that he was just listening quietly, and there was no displeasure, and he was secretly surprised. But I didn't know that the story of the white snake has been spread among the people since then, and Jinshan Temple has been famous since then, and the incense is flourishing, but all of this is deliberately leaked out by the dream relict brother in front of him.
After finishing speaking, Mengyi said: "I look at the classics, and there is indeed an allusion to the Fahai Patriarch driving the white python into the river, but it has nothing to do with the story in the white snake. ”
The three of them were all interested, and wanted to listen to Mengyi talk about Fahai, and Mengyi laughed lightly, and talked about Fahai's life. It turned out that this Fahai was a native of the Tang Dynasty, commonly known as Pei Toutuo, born in a family of eunuchs, and was sent into Buddhism by his father when he was a teenager, and was named Fahai. When Fahai was 46 years old, he knelt in front of the remnants of the Buddha in Zhenjiang Zexin Temple and vowed to repair the mountain temple.
Since then, Fahai has lived in a cave, opened mountains and farmed, and studied Buddhism. Once, when Fahai was digging for a temple, he accidentally dug up a batch of gold and Yi, but he was not moved by the money, but handed it over to Li Qi, the then Zhenjiang Taishou. Li Qi played the emperor, Tang Xuanzong was deeply moved, and issued a pardon to Fahai to repair the temple, and pardoned the name of Jinshan Temple, and since then Zexin Temple has been renamed Jinshan Temple.
Dream Relic Su said: "Zen Master Fahai has practiced the Dharma all his life, is extraordinary, walks in the right way, and destroys right and wrong, which has nothing to do with the enmity, hatred, love and resentment in the red dust. Sitting in front of the Buddha with idle eyes, scolding from the play, sins and sins!"
hurriedly apologized, but the dream was not very good, and said with a smile: "The prosperous floating world, everything is in the past, I want to come to Fahai Zen Master to know, but also laughed, the junior brother is not wrong." I have a great relationship with Fahai Zen Master, there is a 'scripture reading cave' here, which is the place where Fahai Zen Master practiced back then, why don't you go to pay homage to the holy master?"
