Chapter 55: The Abnormal Sound of the Conch (This Book Has Been Signed)
When the fire monkey and the others returned to the guest room, Monk Qingning's face had returned to normal, and it seemed that the healing effect of Lu Shu blood was really worthy of its reputation.
As soon as the monk Qingning saw them returning, he immediately saluted them, solemnly thanked the fire monkey and others for saving their lives, and asked them about going to the banquet.
Xiu Gu told him about the words of the people during the banquet, and she told him how the fourth senior brother fought with the evil man, and how the evil man was injured and vomited blood in the face of the sudden brave wind, so that he couldn't find the north in the wind, but he just laughed behind her, but Xiu Gu inadvertently brought the news of the meditation trick.
Monk Qingning clasped his hands together when he heard this, and said "Amitabha", as if his heart was touched, and he sighed: "You brothers have worked hard. Actually, what the scholar said at the banquet was very true. It was a good thing that the scale of Buddhism is getting bigger and bigger, but now it is so obsessed with collecting incense, buying acres of land, leasing and collecting taxes, threatening the survival of the people, it is really getting farther and farther away from the main purpose of Buddhism to be pure and good. ”
Shuli looked at him, his eyes flashed, and said, "According to what Senior Brother has seen, how is the right path?"
Monk Qingning closed his eyes and pondered: "The most important thing at present is, of course, to return the cultivation to the people, and return the acres of land received by the monastery to the people, so as to restore their self-sufficiency and self-support, and to be able to have good thoughts, where the good goes, and where the Buddha goes."
"Secondly, you can't compete with the imperial court for food. The reason why the imperial court can worship the Buddha is that the Buddhist family is pure, the people are good, and in the places that the imperial court cannot take care of, the Buddha nature guides the people to be kind and charitable, and to settle down and work. If you compete with the imperial court for military power and land power, not to mention the destruction of the original purpose of Buddhism, it will inevitably cause hostility and suppression of the imperial court, let alone promote Buddhism.
"In the end, when entering my Buddhism, we should have six pure roots, cultivate and eat by ourselves, and strictly abide by the rules, do not do it for a day, do not eat for a day, and clarify the original meaning of my Buddhism, so that we can attain enlightenment. ”
At this time, not only Shuli nodded frequently when he listened, but Fire Monkey, Yifeng and Xiugu listened carefully, and they couldn't help but clap their palms in admiration.
Especially Yifeng, he has always been in the chaos of Buddhism, and he only saw the suffering of the people.
For example, the family of the uncle and aunt of the peasant household he met when he went down the mountain, he only saw that the survival of the peasant family was difficult, and he was oppressed, and the oppressed person actually represented the Buddhist temple, which made him always puzzled and troubled.
Now that he was touched by Senior Brother Qingning, he suddenly realized that he understood the key.
However, what he didn't know was that this was the beginning of his path to enlightenment, the beginning of enlightenment.
Even if what the monk Qingning said is right, it is easier said than done, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, such a status quo, I am afraid that it is a disease accumulated over hundreds of years or even thousands of years, even if it is to be eliminated, it is not a day's work, and the future of Buddhism is really difficult.
Shuli also seemed to think of this, and frowned slightly and said, "Senior brother's big talk is really convincing. However, you see that now this Leiming Temple, the accumulation of time to form such a grand trend, so many Buddhist monks are comfortable and happy, if they want to implement the pure and inactive rules, I am afraid it is difficult to ascend to the sky.
"This is just a branch of the small Leixing Town in Mangnan County, just imagine how many temples there are in Mangnan County? How many temples are there in Yunzhou? How many temples are there in the entire Dawu Kingdom? The concept is feasible, but it is really difficult to implement!"
After that, Shuli couldn't help but be heartbroken and didn't want to say more.
Monk Qingning listened quietly, there seemed to be tears in his eyes, and he formed a magnificent territory of the Great Martial Kingdom in his mind, and the territory was dotted with countless temples like stars.
If every temple is like this Thundering Temple, then how many people of Dawn are suffering from it, and how long will it take for his ideal concept to be implemented in every temple?
After a while, the monk Qingning said in a deep voice: "The little monk is incompetent. However, although I have been seriously injured in the past few days, my consciousness is sometimes clear, but I have never opened my eyes. Along the way, your behavior and cultivation are all of the highest quality.
"Especially this Yifeng Senior Disciple, even though he is only in the Buddha Power realm now, which can be called an introduction to cultivation, but when carrying me all the way, I feel that he contains a very strange power in his body, and there is a feeling that people can't see through it all the time.
"You must not be in the pool, just wait for the storm, and there will be a great opportunity to change all this in the future. The little monk is beyond his power and can only live in a corner, but even if the little monk exhausts this life, he must try his best to push my Qingping Temple to the right path. ”
Shuli and the fire monkey sighed, holding Monk Qingning's shoulders, speechless, Yifeng and Xiugu's eyes were also slightly red, they were all moved by Monk Qingning's small and grand wish.
At this moment, everyone only felt that no matter how hard it was to rescue Qingning along the way, no matter how many forces they offended, it was worth it.
At this time, it was late at night, and the lights outside the room were brilliant, shining on the entire mountain peak like a torch on the earth, fluttering in the dark night, but shining, but this brilliant brilliance condensed the blood on the shoulders of many people!
The next day, everyone went down the mountain, when they said goodbye to the abbot of Xingyin, Elder Xingyin came out to solve the problem for the Leiming Temple in order to thank the Shuli yesterday, and specially brought out several plates of Dawu gold and silver to show gratitude, so that everyone was scared to see the devil, and refused to do so, and finally almost ran away, making the Xingyin elders inexplicable.
At the foot of the Leiming Temple, the monks of Qingning and the fire monkeys and others are going to part ways here.
During this period of time, although the relationship was particularly short, they ran all the way to escape, encountered strong enemies, and were rescued and recovered, which was particularly nostalgic in addition to thrilling.
Especially last night's heart-to-heart push, let each other get closer to each other in terms of aspirations and missions, seek Buddha, and have more passers-by.
Monk Qingning reluctantly said to everyone: "Senior brothers and sisters, the little monk is here to say goodbye, and I am grateful to you again for saving your life." But for you, this is only the beginning of saving the common people, and there will be more far-reaching and important missions on your shoulders in the future, and you will cherish it.
"The road ahead is vast, there is a long way to go, it is difficult to seek, the Buddha saves all sentient beings, Amitabha!"
Qing Ning clasped his palms together and bowed.
The fire monkey and the others hurriedly returned the salute, and Qing Ning turned around and walked south. This is his Buddha path.
The fire monkey and others traveled north, also continuing their path of seeking Buddha.
Along the way, they slept in the open air, almost rarely in ordinary people's homes, and rarely in the temple to place an order, seeing the splendid temple is eager to run away, after nearly a month of trekking, they are finally about to arrive at Nanzong Temple.
During this period, I am afraid that the most uncomfortable thing is Yifeng.
After the separation of Lei Ming Temple and Qing Ning, the conch on his chest began to become abnormal.
In the dead of night, the conch begins to hum. At first, he thought that the fire monkey and others were playing tricks on him, but at the beginning of the night, Yifeng always woke up the fire monkey and others, and asked the senior brothers why they were bullying him, which made the fire monkey and Shuli inexplicable.
But at this time, Fa Luo was as quiet as a sleeping cat in his arms, and finally Shuli had to explain to him seriously, they didn't play tricks on him, and Shuli also checked his pulse for him to see if he was sick.
Even if Yifeng doesn't believe in the fire monkey, he will believe in the book ceremony. The little senior sister is most afraid of him, and Yifeng is also afraid of him. In his eyes, there is nothing more serious than the fourth senior brother, even if they both know that the fourth senior brother is a senior brother they can rely on and love, but there is always a lot more "respect" than love.
However, when the senior brother and the junior sister went to rest, the conch was restless again, always buzzing in the chest, and Yifeng was afraid that the senior brother and sister would misunderstand him, so he didn't dare to make a noise, so he had to quietly study the abnormality of the conch by himself.
Once, when the conch sounded again, he tiptoed off the Yingluo, looked carefully in front of his eyes, and found that the golden Arhat statue on the conch was flashing with golden light in turn, and the golden light slowly slid from the tip of the snail to the mouth of the snail, and the Arhat was like a light and dark interweaving, and the light was reincarnated, and in the alternation of light and dark, the clothes of the Arhat statue were fluttering, and the facial features on the face were moving, especially the mouth, which seemed to be constantly opening and closing slightly.
Yifeng took the conch and put it to his ear, and the humming sound was instantly amplified, and a voice similar to that of the master chanting the scriptures sounded in his ears.
However, the sound inside the conch seemed to be very far away, and it was not clear to listen carefully, but when I listened to it, I became sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.
What he didn't know was that the golden liquid stored in the dantian that had been drunk in the Black Forest also flowed out of his Ziquan in response, slowly running along his meridians, infiltrating his body and nourishing the divine court in his brain.
Since Yifeng discovered this effect of the conch, now he is not only not woken up by the conch every night, but sometimes when he can't fall asleep, he can gradually fall asleep by listening to the echo in the conch, which is very magical.
Since then, Yifeng has not mentioned it to the senior brothers, and Fa Luo should not speak out in front of them, telling them that it is also a joke.
However, what they didn't know was that the gold liquid slowly turned into its own use after listening to the sound of the conch sutra every night, and Yifeng's cultivation quietly advanced by leaps and bounds unconsciously.
On this day, they passed through a remote village.
At this time, it was early autumn, the cool autumn breeze was blowing lightly, the yellowish leaves on the side of the road were falling down, the crops in the land had been harvested, and the haystacks were scattered in the fields.
Strangely enough, they did not see a single peasant as they walked all the way to the village.
At the entrance of the village, a dirt road full of dust kicked by the autumn wind passed into the village, and the fire monkeys and others covered their mouths and noses, hiding from the dusk dust, and walked into the village.
The village was quiet, dilapidated huts were piled up on both sides of the dirt road, there were no chickens and dogs, there was no trace of people, and they were so thirsty that they couldn't find a place to drink.
At first, they went door to door knocking on firewood, but there was always no response, and after searching for a dozen farmers, they simply shouted loudly one after another on the dirt road of the village.
Half an hour later, from a broken thatched hut in front of him, came an old man in tattered clothes, leaning on dead wood branches, hunched over, with a gray beard and a dusty face, and walked tremblingly towards the fire monkeys.
The fire monkey and the others hurriedly greeted him, holding the old man's skinny arm.
Xiugu asked, "Grandpa, where do you have water to drink here?"
The old man's eye sockets were deep-set, his withered yellow eyes turned with difficulty, he looked at Xiu Gu, and said hoarsely, "Girl, what do you say?"
Xiu Gu asked loudly again, and the old man sighed, and pointed to the broken grass hut where he came out with the hand of the wooden branch, and then broke free from the hands of the fire monkeys, and walked back with a trembling body.
The fire monkey and the others hurriedly helped him to the broken grass house. Except for a broken wooden bed and a dusty stove, the hut was so clean that there was not even a chair to be found.
Yifeng saw that there was a large missing water tank next to the stove, walked over and looked down, a layer of shallow water was attached to the bottom of the tank, and a layer of mosquito corpses floated on it.
Ichikaze looked helplessly at the fire monkeys.
The fire monkey frowned and asked, "Old man, is there anyone else in the village, where have all the people in the village gone?"
The old man was just about to open his chapped mouth to answer, when a rumbling sound suddenly sounded outside the village, slowly approaching from far to near.
