Chapter 43 The temple on the top of the mountain is broken, and the road is blue

Baoshan asked us to come over to help persuade Master Huanghe and Master Huikong Zen and others, but the old ghost's words led to the final separation of the Hanging Temple. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoww.ige

I knew he did it on purpose.

Why?

I was a little unpredictable, but I also knew that this old brother of mine sometimes thought far away, and it was not something I could ponder, and after Master Huang He's decision, a large group of people moved, and they all followed him.

Most of these people have experienced battles in the Great Hall of the Thousand Cave Walls, and have fought to the death with those Rakshasa demons.

They had seen the elders and monks of the Hanging Temple who were full of love for the temple. With his own blood and life, he composed the most moving chapter.

Those people guarded the Hanging Temple with their lives, and Master Huang He almost died at that time.

He didn't die because he carried the hopes of those eighteen people, or even more monks, each of whom had a fanatical love for the Hanging Temple, but because of this, the depth of love and the urgency of responsibility, they would be even more disappointed.

These people saw me and the old ghost behaving on the wall of a thousand caves, and if it weren't for us, they might have been swallowed up by the vast number of Rakshasa demons.

They are grateful to me and the old ghost, but Abbot Huineng, who didn't know where to run before, wants to drive us away.

This matter is not just excessive, as Master Huang He said, it is completely against the spirit of the Hanging Temple and the will of the Buddha, but so what?

Compared with the previous abbot Huijing Zen master's inaction, this abbot will be able to belong to the absolute strongman. Whether it is the wrist or the cultivation, it is not comparable to the Huijing Zen Master, the previous Presbyterian Council was able to impeach it and decide in a word, but now, after so many years, the influence of the Presbyterian Council has become smaller and smaller, insignificant, and there are many people around the Huineng Zen Master.

If the elders forcibly impeach, it will not only be fruitless, but will also lead to greater conflict and contradictions.

And maybe cannibalism.

So. Under such circumstances, it may be the best choice to leave this sad place and start another life, right?

I looked at these vivid faces, some people I knew, some people I didn't know, but looking familiar, seeing them walking out with tears in their eyes, I must have felt infinite sadness in my heart.

They had an insatiable love for the Hanging Temple, but they had to leave it.

It's not that you don't love, but that you lose hope.

As an outsider, I really can't understand that feeling.

Someone goes, someone stays, the abbot is not without roots in the Hanging Temple, in line with the principle of suppressing a group and supporting a group, there are still many vested interests to follow him, this is a part, and the other part of the neutral people feel that the Hanging Temple is the Hanging Temple, there is no need to stand out for a few outsiders, so they go to live a turbulent wandering life.

There are also people who think this way, so most people still choose to stay.

Among these people, I pay more attention to two people.

One is Mandu Latu, and the other is Baoshan.

The former is because I owe him a favor with the old ghost, and the latter is because he is the only one I admire among the descendants of the entire Hanging Temple.

Mandu Ratu was a proud disciple of the previous abbot, and he had been ostracized in the Hanging Temple. Don't look at the power to manage the kitchen, but it's all mundane, for him, it's the same as pouring the toilet, it's humiliating, so at this moment. Without any hesitation, he left together with the support of a familiar monk.

Bosun surprisingly stayed.

This was a real surprise to me.

Yesterday, I saw him standing beside Master Huanghe, holding on until the moment of the final seal, I thought his heart was inclined to Master Huanghe's side, but I didn't expect him to choose to stay in the Hanging Temple in the end.

Why?

Don't you want to see the Hanging Temple split and lose the great inheritance left by your ancestors?

Or is there something wrong?

I was full of doubts, but in the end, I didn't get a chance to ask him.

The next thing is to leave.

The Hanging Temple was burned down in many places, although it was briefly rested later, and a few boards were laid on some plank roads. Barely able to walk, but the way down the mountain has actually been cut off, which makes the people who leave have to choose another more rugged and dangerous road, in some places even only a few tens of centimeters wide, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.

And these who left, did not leave empty-handed.

I saw that they were carrying a Buddha statue more than a foot high.

This Buddha statue is carved in stone, full of a sense of history, I don't know how many years have passed, the surface is blackened by incense, and it is extremely heavy, it is carried by several leading monks, and even has to be carried by one person when it reaches a dangerous place.

The scene was difficult, and people burst into tears, and the old ghost, and the blind old man couldn't stand it anymore, so they all stepped forward to help.

These people don't take much with them. In addition to his carry-on luggage, it is only this Buddha statue.

I saw that everyone was very tired, but their faces were always full of energy.

This kind of energy is something I haven't seen before.

Don't admit defeat.

From the Hanging Temple down to the White Wolf Valley, the sky is already dark, the Hanging Temple has a separate courtyard at the entrance of the White Wolf Valley, more than a dozen courtyards, but the monks did not stop here, but continued to walk, I found the Yellow River Master, asked where this is going to go.

Master Huang He told me that thirty miles away from the White Wolf Valley, there was a small hill called Mount Eile, where there was a small abandoned and dilapidated temple.

He consulted with Zen Master Huikong and prepared to take root there.

The abbot of the dilapidated little temple was an old friend of his, and he suffered a disaster when he broke the four olds. Later, with the death of the last monk in the temple, the entire temple was abandoned.

The monk's funeral and rituals were still handled with the help of Master Kong, and now they are desperate and now they live there.

I said that since it was an abandoned temple, there must be nothing, so why not go to the market first and stay for the time being, why should I go to the mountain beams in the wilderness?

Master Huang He was silent for a while, and then said: "Carefree is a kind of practice, to bear poverty and suffering, but it is another kind of practice, before the Hanging Temple was high and isolated from the world, it became so narrow, and now I want to lead these people into the world, truly integrate into this world, and promote Buddhism." Let the suffering cleanse your soul so that you can finally reach the other side......"

He was a little complicated, and I didn't understand it very well, but in the end I decided with the old ghost to send them over together.

I walked all the way like this, and it was only in the second half of the night that I arrived at the ruined temple.

The temple is not small. There are several temples, but they are really broken, most of the walls are rotten, the roof tiles on the top of the head are also half empty, it is not good to shelter from the wind and rain, there is dust and garbage everywhere, the mud Buddha statue has collapsed, and several places are crumbling, I am afraid that it will not be able to support one of them, and it will collapse directly.

However, when they saw this, the monks were very happy, and they placed the Buddha statues they had invited all the way in the middle of the main hall, and then went to the well in the courtyard to fetch water, and cleaned up a few slightly clean places.

This drove all the way, and many people were exhausted, and the Yellow River Master made bonfires and arranged for them to sleep on the ground. Then take care of the rest with the energy survivors.

Cleaning up this dilapidated temple, the old ghost and I couldn't intervene, just watched from the sidelines.

Later, we were sleepy, so we found a place to squat and slept cross-legged.

At this time, it was already winter, and the weather was extremely cold, and the monks were next to the campfire, and the cultivation was a little shallow, shivering from the cold, but no one complained.

They firmly believe that their choice is the right one, and that respecting one's heart is the truth of practice compared to the harsh environment.

The next morning I slept in a daze, and when I woke up, I found that the surroundings were busy, and the monks began to repair the temple, apparently really wanting to make this place their home, and preparing to continue the inheritance of the Hanging Temple here.

I saw the old ghost talking to the blind old man, rubbed his eyes and stepped forward, and heard the blind old man say that there was a lot of waste to be done here, and the most important thing was money.

He wanted to sell his gas station and guest house. And then donate all the money here.

Although it is not much, it can be given a little, a little.

After all, so many people came here, and in the winter, there was nothing to eat, there was nothing to wear, and even a sleeping place was leaking from all sides, which was really hard.

Hearing this, I remembered that I had shared the spoils with the glasses man Kao Yubiao before, and I had a sum of money, and I also said that I would find a way to go back and send it here.

Since things started because of us, then we can help a little, a little.

After a few people had discussed it, we went to Master Huang He to discuss, and he expressed his gratitude, and then told us that the most scarce thing now was only food, and as for money, they didn't need it for the time being.

Last night, he discussed with the Huikong Zen Master and several leading elders, and decided that the Hanging Temple of this vein had to find another way.

Eating fast and reciting Buddha every day, peace and stability, this situation is definitely no longer their life, they have to be like before, the road is blue, travel all over the world, promote the Dharma, purify all sentient beings, and re-establish the monastery in their minds by themselves.

Only by suffering and building in the ruins with one's own hands can one love one's homeland even more.

After chatting, we decided to go to Utu Meiren to buy some food and come back.

In any case, getting through this winter is the most fundamental thing.
