Chapter 136: Monks Are Human Too!
PS: Entering the middle of the month, the monthly pass is very weak and bleak, but the author's update is still strong, please give a few monthly passes to support.
"Amitabha, why should Taoist friends care about the authenticity of this matter?"
Before Gu Yue's voice fell, a kind voice came from the side: "Whether this is true or not, it is an indisputable fact that Master Yuan Ying repaired Kaiyuan Temple and contributed to the maintenance of Tang Temple, Song Pagoda, Ming Banyan and other historical relics. ”
"I didn't say I didn't believe it, what are you anxious about." Gu Yue Jushi chuckled and said: "Whether it is the mulberry white lotus, the peach blossom red lotus, or the stone peony, they are all old things, and everyone listens to them as anecdotes, and there is no other meaning." You're in such a hurry, but it makes people feel empty-hearted......"
"Amitabha." Cihe's voice was also a little helpless: "Daoyou still loves to laugh like this." ”
At the same time, Fang Yuan and the others also took advantage of the situation, and saw an old monk standing in front of them, an old monk who was not tall, not short, not fat or thin, and his appearance was very ordinary. But this old monk stood in front, his demeanor was very relaxed and freehand, but it gave people a feeling of being in the depths of the mountains and the mountains looking up.
"Master Lianshan."
At this moment, Xiong Mao hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and also let Fang Yuan and the others confirm their guesses, knowing that this person was really a friend of Guyue Jushi, and he was also the target of their visit to Monk Lianshan.
“…… Bear donor! Monk Lianshan groaned and actually called out Xiong Mao's surname.
"I didn't expect the master to remember me, what an honor." Xiong Mao was naturally very happy and happy.
"What's so strange about that?" Gu Yue Jushi brushed his beard and said, "Your figure is so obvious. It's hard to forget. ”
"Uh......" Xiong Mao's smile froze, and then he showed a wry smile. Although Gu Yue's words were suspicious of a poisonous tongue, think about it carefully. There doesn't seem wrong with that.
"Amitabha, what you said is not right." Monk Lianshan shook his head lightly and said: "I have had several encounters with Master Xiong, and he once asked me for the Dharma Heart Sutra, I naturally remember." ”
"Yes, yes, yes......" Xiong Mao smiled and said: "The year before last, I studied the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, and I didn't understand the meaning of a few scriptures, but Master Lianshan explained it to me......
"Exactly." The monk smiled and had a warm atmosphere of spring breeze. Immediately, his gaze turned, and his gaze actually fell on Fang Yuan, and a look of joy appeared on his face: "I have heard the name of Master Fang for a long time." I finally saw a real person today, and he was really heroic and extraordinary, and he had his own bearing. ”
"How can you be sure that he is Fang Yuan, not us. Could it be that the layman has shown you the photo? ”
Not waiting for Fang Yuan to respond. The picture of Bao Long next to him compared himself and Luo Shui. After all, he is extraordinary, quite generous, and it seems more appropriate to describe Luo Shui.
"Amitabha." Lianshan monk Cihe said with a smile: "The monks don't speak, I have never met Master Fang before, but after seeing him, there is no reason, my intuition is sure that he is Master Fang." ”
"Uh......" Bao Longtu and Luo Shuitian looked at each other. There was also a bit of surprise in his eyes.
"Don't think about it, this monk doesn't have any magical powers." Gu Yue Jushi said casually: "It is probably because the two of you don't have the same kind of breath. So as long as you are excluded, the rest will definitely be Master Fang. ”
"The same kind of breath?" Bao Longtu was stunned and said, "What do you mean?" ”
"A temperament, a feng shui master's temperament." Xiong Mao smiled: "This kind of temperament can only be understood, not spoken, if you understand, you understand, you can't explain it clearly." ”
Between speaking, Xiong Mao also sighed a little in his heart, thinking that when he first saw Fang Yuan, he thought that he was not a feng shui master, but now that he looks at it, this kind of feng shui master's temperament is becoming more and more obvious. It fully shows that he is constantly improving, and his progress is rapid.
"Master Lianshan is also a feng shui master?" Bao Longtu looked surprised, and couldn't help but say to himself: "Do monks also understand feng shui?" ”
"Why can't a monk understand Feng Shui?" Gu Yue said with a smile: "There are many famous feng shui monks in ancient times, such as the monk in the Tang Dynasty, Sima Toutuo, Futu Hong, the monk Hongshi, the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the Wuqian Zen master, the eye monk, and the old monk Xuyun in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, plus him, are all monks who are proficient in feng shui geography. ”
"Daoyou has won the award, I don't dare to be tied with the sages." Monk Lianshan shook his head slightly, and then smiled and said, "The person who comes is a guest, please go to the meditation room to talk." ”
Everyone must have no opinion, all the way to follow the Lianshan monk to the meditation room, this should be the place where the Lianshan monk practiced, the furnishings are very simple and simple, there are no tables and chairs, just a bamboo bed and a long case.
And, of course, a couple of futons, which count as seating. Not to mention, when they came to this Zen-like place, everyone also felt a cool and comfortable breath coming to their faces. This is mainly due to the fact that the doors and windows are open and the wind blows outside the courtyard. Moreover, the high-walled compound separates the hustle and bustle of the city, and it is inevitable that people will have the illusion of returning to nature.
At the same time, Master Lianshan was making tea, his movements were very soothing, and his eyes were very focused, as if he was not simply making tea, as if he had a different meaning.
After a while, Master Lianshan made the tea, took a few more cups, and divided the tea one by one, no more and no less, and each cup was exactly seven points full. At the right time, he smiled and said: "The four major Buddhist gates are empty, only a cup of coarse tea is for guests, please don't mind." ”
"Take it for yourself, don't be polite to him." Gu Yue Jushi took a sip of the cup in his hand, and immediately nodded: "As before, the heat is just right, and the taste is all out." ”
"Xiexie Lianshan Master!" Fang Yuan and the others were somewhat restrained, and when they saw that Gu Yue Jushi had made a move, they all picked up their cups and tasted them.
Fang Yuan raised his glass and looked at it, only to see that the tea was very light and had no aroma. But he didn't mind, he took a sip directly, and then he was stunned, because he felt that the tea didn't taste at all, as if it was as plain as boiled water.
"No, I saw the tea just now." Fang Yuan thought about it, and suddenly felt a sweet taste gushing out of the tip of his tongue. The sweet flavor is not strong, but the aftertaste is long and endless.
"This tea ......" After half a sound, Fang Yuan came back to his senses and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of tea is this?" ”
"Tieguanyin." Monk Lianshan replied with a smile.
"Tieguanyin?" Bao Longtu was stunned and said: "Tieguanyin doesn't seem to have this flavor...... Or is this the legendary top Tieguanyin? ”
"No, no matter how top-level Tieguanyin is, it's not like this." Luo Shui directly shook his head and denied it, he has the best Tieguanyin at home, and he usually tastes it, so he will definitely be able to distinguish it.
"Don't speculate." Gu Yue Jushi smiled and revealed: "This is the most ordinary Tieguanyin, but after Lianshan has been soaked through special methods, the taste is naturally completely different. I call this soaking technique a soothing technique, what do you think? ”
"Angry?"
All of a sudden, everyone nodded their heads, feeling that it was very appropriate and could not be more appropriate. The taste of this tea feels like the echo of the valley, continuous, undulating, and reverberating.
"It's just a little trick, not enough to worry about." Monk Lianshan waved his hand and said: "Besides, this skill is not created and invented by me, but the accumulation of predecessors in the temple and the crystallization of the wisdom of several generations." ”
"Don't be modest, this is also the foundation of Kaiyuan Temple, and others can't envy it." Gu Yue said with a smile: "Besides, it can't be denied that the whole temple has mastered the essence of this skill, and others still lack two points of fire." ”
"Amitabha." Monk Lianshan smiled and said nothing, which was the default meaning.
"Two things ......"
At the right time, after taking a sip of tea, Gu Yue Jushi said bluntly: "Bringing someone to you today is mainly two things. First, there is something wrong with the aura of this bead string, and I want you to help regulate it. The other is this Buddha statue, anyway, you have a morning class every day, so let's open a light by the way. ”
"Okay." Monk Lianshan nodded, not asking the reason. After all, he has been friends with Gu Yue for decades, and he doesn't need to groan about this kind of trivial matter at all, he can directly agree to it.
"Master Xiexie."
Forget about Gu Yue, Fang Yuan and Luo Shui, who are the parties concerned, will definitely have to thank you. Of course, if they know how to do it, they also understand that in addition to verbal thanks, they will definitely have to make up a share of sesame oil money for the temple when they turn back.
"No, it's this string of beads."
At this time, Gu Yue handed over the bead string, and then said with a smile: "This is a Qi Nan agarwood bracelet, how many people want to touch it and have no chance, but now it is cheap for you." ”
"This is a blessing for monks." Monk Lianshan chuckled and said, "If you are envious, you can choose to take refuge in my Buddha." ”
"The monk is not kind." Gu Yue sighed: "Encouraging others to defect from the court like this, aren't you afraid that the Buddha will blame you?" ”
"If I am a person, the Buddha should be happy, how can I blame ......"
At this time, Fang Yuan and the others had a somewhat strange expression, and at the same time they were a little enlightened, monks are also human beings, and they can also joke, the so-called sanctimonious, a serious monk, is just a one-sided impression of everyone.
While speaking, Monk Lianshan also took the string of beads, and his expression became a little more serious.
Seeing this situation, everyone also kept quiet at the right time, watching the Lianshan monk's lips move slightly, as if he was reciting scriptures, and at the same time, his fingers were slowly "counting" the string of beads.
For a moment, the meditation room was quiet, and only the sound of Lianshan monk chanting was faintly visible. At this moment, Fang Yuan also vaguely felt that there seemed to be an aura in the air of the meditation room.
At first, Fang Yuan didn't pay attention, but after a while, he suddenly noticed that this aura was getting stronger and stronger, gradually expanding and occupying the entire meditation room space. However, he also found that this powerful aura did not have an oppressive force, on the contrary, it also had a soothing effect, and the breath was peaceful and broad, which made him feel very comfortable......
"What's going on?"
Just as Fang Yuan was carefully comprehending this aura, he suddenly found that the aura was interrupted, and it directly faded and disappeared in the air.
At the same time, Monk Lianshan opened his eyes and no longer chanted the "counting" beads, but frowned, and said with some hesitation: "Fellow Daoist, there seems to be something wrong with this string of beads." (To be continued......)
