Chapter 198: Solicitation

"Daoist Jin An. ”

"Daochang Chen. ”

"Sword sharpening donor. ”

"The poor monk came to the temple at night this time to chatter, and he didn't disturb the rest and sleep of the Jin'an Daoist, right?"

Master Shanneng clasped his palms together, and with a kind smile on his kind face, he saluted one by one.

Jin An was stunned for a few breaths.

That's when I reacted.

"Venerable Shanneng is so polite, you are a respected Shakya monk, so naturally you are extremely welcome. ”

Jin An was on the side of his body, making way for Master Shanneng to make a way.

"Master Shanneng, have you had dinner?"

"It just so happens that the little brother and the old man have just come back from outside, and they haven't had time to eat dinner yet, so Master Shanneng will have dinner tonight in the Guanli. ”

"I'll go to the back kitchen to cook on the fire. ”

The old Taoist priest who has always been the Buddha of the enemy family has changed his normal behavior this time, and he is enthusiastic about Master Shanneng and said politely.

Master Shanneng clasped his hands together and sang a Buddha name: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, Chen Daochang is too polite, the poor monk's stomach is not hungry, how can he bother Chen Daochang to run before and after running for a worthless old monk like me......"

The old Taoist priest said enthusiastically: "You're welcome, you're not welcome at all." ”

"Master Shanneng, you talk to the little brother first, I will soon make dinner and call Master Shanneng. Master Shanneng, you can be regarded as oral tonight, I can taste the old way, I personally show my skills, the old way I am best at is spicy tofu and three fresh, all vegetarian fast. ”

After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he had already turned around and walked towards the kitchen, and shouted enthusiastically to Master Shanneng as he walked, dinner will be good soon, and you must stay in the temple for dinner.

Half a month ago in Lingqian Township.

Jin An, the old Taoist, and the Shanneng mage practiced together, and spent a few days and nights for those who died in vain.

The relationship between the few people is not unfamiliar.

The old Taoist priest has long been familiar with the Shanneng mage.

"Sharpen the sword, you go to help Lao Dao, so many people's dinner, he is washing rice, washing vegetables, and cooking on the fire, it is estimated that he will be too busy. Jin An shouted at the sharpening sword.

"Yes, Master. Sharpening the sword nodded.

Seeing the sword sharpening and turning away, Jin An saw that Master Shanneng was about to speak, he laughed and said: "Master Shanneng, you don't need to be too polite to us, everyone in Lingqian Township is also suffering life and death together, for peers to do Dharma to surpass the soul, your compassion is open-minded, you have already convinced a few of us, and it is natural to leave you for dinner." ”

"Master Shanneng don't be polite anymore. ”

Jin An said while inviting Master Shanneng into the Taoist temple: "Master Shanneng don't stand outside, the night wind is strong at night, go to the Taoist temple to drink warm tea to warm up." ”

"Then tonight, I'll talk about the Jin'an Taoist and the Five Organs Taoist Temple. Master Shanneng said kindly, and then stepped forward and entered the Taoist temple after dark.

Jin An stayed behind and closed the door.

At this time, outside the Taoist temple, the whole world has already fallen into the night, the sky is completely dark, the road surface is dim in the moonlight, and when Master Shanneng came to the Taoist temple of the five internal organs, there were no torches or lanterns in his hands.

The darkness didn't affect the mage's travels at all.

Venerable Shanneng is an enlightened monk of the White Dragon Temple.

Come to think of it, this bit of darkness doesn't have much effect on the good mage.

Just like Jin'an's current strength, he can barely achieve night vision.

Bang.

The courtyard of the Taoist temple was closed, and Jin An led the way in front of him with a lantern in his hand, leading the way to the private backyard with Master Shanneng all the way.

Passing by the hall that had not yet been repaired, Master Shanneng did not hesitate to admire.

Looking at the Taoist temple that has not yet been expanded, suddenly, Master Shanneng sighed: "The poor monk was sent to the monastery by his parents to practice since he was a child, and the poor monk at that time did not understand what the Buddha was, what was the vast sea of the world, and only knew that he could eat enough food when he entered the temple, so he visited the Buddha since he was a child, wiped the lamp oil in front of the Buddha's seat, and guarded the incense for the Buddha... Every day is conscientious, from a small novice to a small monk, a small benefactor, from small to large. ”

"At that time, the poor monks were stupid by nature, and a scripture could be understood by others in three provinces in one day, and the poor monks could not understand the truth in ten days and a half months. Therefore, the poor monk has been slow to open his mind since he was a child, he does not understand what Buddhism is, what is Buddhism, what is Buddha nature, and he does not understand why people in the world like to kneel down and worship the Buddha. ”

"Therefore, I have to work harder and sweat more than other small novices and little monks, and I can only diligently chant and worship the Buddha day and night; others copy the scriptures once a day, I repeatedly copy the scriptures three times, five times, and copy the scriptures for more than 30 years, I even memorize the scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the White Dragon Temple, and re-sort out the scriptures and meanings of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the White Dragon Temple, so that future generations can better find the Buddhist scriptures; every day I try my best to wipe the front of the Buddha's seat spotlessly; The incense has never been broken for a moment, and the incense candles are changed for the Buddha every other hour, keeping the quiet and tranquil ...... for the Buddha."

"Thanks to a good master who pleaded for me several times in front of the abbot, even if I reached the year of the weak crown and the year of establishment, I have never had a relationship with the Buddha, and I was still left in the temple by the abbot, so that I could copy the scriptures and books for more than 30 years. Whenever he thinks of his teacher and abbot, the poor monk will be grateful. ”

"Finally, diligence can make up for clumsiness, to the year of not confused, the poor monk suddenly opened up overnight, the essence of the scriptures in the Tibetan scripture pavilion began to be self-taught, ten Buddhist scriptures, ten Prajna Sutras, four Ahan Sutras, poor monks in front of the Buddha's seat lamp oil to understand my Buddha's compassion, blessing and wisdom two-legged respect, if you see me with color, ask me with a voice, it is a person who walks in an evil way, can not see such as ......"

Jin An led the way in front, quietly listening to the memories of Master Shanneng, people are old, and it is easiest to recall the past years.

At this time, the two happened to pass by the Yeyin Pavilion.

At the beginning, Jin An's intention to build this Yeyin Pavilion was like the two plaques hanging on the pavilion -

The small is hidden in the mountains, and the big is hidden in the city.

With the help of the quiet retreat of the mountains and forests, immersed in the paradise of independence from the world, and vainly claiming that he has seen through the red dust, at best he can only be regarded as a small hermit who escapes reality.

On the contrary, those who can still forget about themselves in the noisy interference of the world, do not forget the beginning, and do not get the dust in their state of mind are the ones who really get the way.

It's like Taoism.

Five visceral Taoist temples.

Jin An gave a very high opinion to the Five Organs Taoism.

"The small hidden in the mountains, the big hidden city is ......" Master Shanneng looked at the plaque in the wild hidden pavilion and chewed on the artistic conception repeatedly.

"Amitabha. ”

"The poor monk has always thought that as long as he concentrates on practicing and comprehending the Dharma, he will be able to find a way to save the world from the sea of suffering, and one day he will be able to find the other side of my Buddha. But the poor monk is not deceiving himself, hiding in the White Dragon Temple for a lifetime, but forgetting that the Buddha became a Buddha through the three major monks. ”

It was only at this time that the poor monk had an epiphany, and the poor monk really had no wisdom since he was a child. I'm still the same me, and I've never had any Buddha nature, Buddha mind. I'm still the little novice who was afraid of starving to death and secretly hid in the White Dragon Temple, a little monk. ”

"The poor monk copied the scriptures all his life, but he was still complacent in that self-righteousness, thinking that he was close to the Buddha. In fact, even the people's hearts have not yet been understood, the mind is shallow, short-sighted, how can we understand the allusion of 'the Buddha Sutra of the three great monks to become a Buddha', and how can we understand the Buddha's eleven sufferings: birth, old age, death, sorrow, sorrow, suffering, worry, annoyance, resentment, love and parting, and what you want. ”

"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south. ”

"Master Shanneng is too humble, you have always been a high-ranking monk in my heart. Jin An didn't know how to persuade this senior monk of the White Dragon Temple at this time.

After all, he had never experienced the life of Master Shanneng, and he didn't know the change in Master Shanneng's mood after looking at the two plaques in the Wild Hidden Pavilion at the moment.

He didn't even know the allusions of the Buddha's three eons and the Buddha's eleven kinds of suffering.

He is only in his early twenties, whether it is his state of mind cultivation or life experience, he is definitely not as good as the old monk in front of him.

The senior monk of the White Dragon Temple in front of him shook his head: "This is not the arrogance and excessive self-humility of the poor monks. ”

"In the past, the poor monks always thought that I entered the White Dragon Temple since I was a child, kowtowed and chanted the scriptures day and night, and never forgot my original intention to stay in front of the Buddha's seat for a lifetime, and never let the Buddha's seat have a piece of dust, which is my greatest dedication to the Buddha. There was even some complacency, thinking that no one in the whole temple could match my respect for the Buddha. ”

"But today looking at the expansion of the five visceral Taoist temple, the five visceral Taoist temple has a new look, thriving, from the original one hall to the current three halls, everywhere is changing with each passing day, since the Jin'an Taoist lived in the five visceral Taoist temple, the former decline of the five visceral Taoist temple, in the hands of the Jin'an Taoist chief, carried forward, thriving... The poor monk couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the chief of Jin'an Dao faced the great darkness, in the dark, broke the tengu to eat the sun, and then was reborn in the light, keeping the clouds open and seeing the sun, which is the most difficult, difficult and valuable quality. ”

The poor monk's complacent little deeds, in front of the Jin'an Daoist, were ashamed of themselves, and he sighed that he couldn't do better than the Jin'an Daoist. ”

"Jin'an Taoist is the real master hidden in the city, the poor monk copied a lifetime of Buddhist scriptures, "Maha Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra", "Jizo Bodhisattva Wish Sutra", "Huayan Sutra", "Lengyan Sutra", "Diamond Sutra"... But I haven't copied a Buddha's heart, the poor monk has lived for so long, and it still hasn't changed, and he is still the little novice who was hungry and scared when he was a child, and he just wanted to eat a full meal in Bailong Temple all his life. ”

The kind and kind face of the Venerable Shan Neng shook his head and sighed as he spoke.

After the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, his first words were: "Wonderful, wonderful, all sentient beings have the wisdom and virtue of the Buddha, but they cannot attain it with delusional attachment." ”

He sighed because he saw through the falsehood too late.

Sigh, why didn't he come to the Five Organs Dao earlier to see a Jin'an Daoist.

The Bodhi tree that sighed at him is this wild hidden pavilion in the Taoist temple of the five internal organs.

......

......

The private backyard of the Five Organs Taoist Temple.

Only Jin'an, old Taoist priests, and sword-sharpening swords can enter and exit here, and they are not open to incense believers on weekdays.

In the Jin'an house.

The lamp oil is bright.

"Master Shanneng, it's been almost a month since the last time I said goodbye to Lingqian Township, I don't know about the flesh Buddha, how is Master Shanneng's investigation?"

Jin An asked Master Shanneng to sit down at a square wooden table and took the initiative to pour him and Master Shanneng a cup of cold boiled water.

After Master Shanneng thanked Jin An, the peaceful old monk nodded: "It's quite smooth." ”

"Thank you Jin'an Daoist for your concern. ”

Jin An asked curiously: "I don't know why so many flesh Buddhas were abandoned by the Buddha this time?"

Master Shanneng folded his hands and sang a Buddha name, and said with kind eyebrows: "In the Fucheng, there is such a rare tranquility here as the Jin'an Daoist, and the poor monks will not let the Buddha Gate talk about the tranquility of the Taoist Temple, and the Buddha Gate will clean up the door." ”

Seeing that Master Shanneng didn't want to say more, Jin An groaned, but didn't insist on asking more.

Maybe it's because the ugliness of the family can't be publicized.

Master Shanneng had concerns.

lest they drag Jin An and the innocent people of the Five Organs Taoist Temple into the water.

"Okay, let's not talk about it. ”

Jin An let go of his frowning brows, and then asked the Shanneng mage in front of him about another matter: "Shanneng mage, I don't know the ghost fetus I encountered when I walked in Lingqian Township last time, and after the Shanneng mage returned to the White Dragon Temple, did you investigate any clues?"

When he heard Jin An's question, Master Shanneng clasped his hands together again, lowered his eyebrows and sang a Buddha name: "Amitabha, the poor monk knows that the Taoist of Jin An has been waiting for the news of the poor monk, so the poor monk does not dare to be lazy, and has already investigated some eyebrows." ”

"Oh?" Jin An frowned.

Then he couldn't wait to ask: "What is the origin of that ghost fetus?"

Master Shanneng: "It's not a ghost, it's a small drought. ”

Dryfish?

Little drought?

Jin An was stunned, this news was too surprising.

"Wait. ”

"The Yinyi River has been cut off several times recently, could it be related to the birth of this little drought?"

Jin An boldly guessed.

However, Master Shanneng shook his head: "When the Yinyi River broke off a few months ago, this little drought fish has not yet become a climate, it should not be the drought brought by this little drought fish, and the red land is thousands of miles. ”

"And the drought has a characteristic, that is, when the drought comes out, it will not rain, and the fertile field will be drought. ”

"The Yinyi River has been cut off several times recently, but the rainy season is normal, and the crops in the ridges are growing well. ”

Jin An thought about it carefully, and also thought that it should have nothing to do with the little drought, but he couldn't figure it out next, since the Yinyi River was cut off several times in succession, and it had nothing to do with the little drought, then what was the purpose of that group of antique dealers cultivating the little drought?

There is a saying that no profit is not early.

Jin An didn't believe that all this was just a coincidence.

Next, according to what Master Shanneng said, the group of antique dealers, probably unintentionally or intentionally, got a small drought.

Then he used the obscene Wutong God, and originally wanted to let the eldest lady of He Fu, who had the life of a nobleman, conceive a ghost fetus, and then plant a small drought in the form of a fetus into the belly of the eldest lady.

borrowed the noble personality of the eldest lady to raise the corpse.

Let the little droughts be reborn.

Become something more vicious.

The corpse first became a drought, and then it became a revil.

That gang of antique dealers is supposed to be cultivating "Qiang".

But there was an accident halfway, the eldest lady is a noble life, and what is the overall protection of the feng shui layout of the master in the house, the obscene Wutong God did not harm the eldest lady, and turned to the Zhang family, singing every night, and the ghost made the god send the Zhang family to conceive the ghost fetus.

Then it couldn't be helped.

The group of antique dealers could only borrow Zhang's belly and continue to cultivate the little drought.

Maybe they also have no choice but to plant the little drought fish into Zhang's stomach as soon as possible, so that the yin ghost fetus in Zhang's stomach can be sacrificed to the little drought fish, and help the little drought fish to grow the corpse qi, yin qi, and evil qi on the little drought fish, otherwise the little drought fish is too fragile and will not live long?

The little drought is a zombie beast, and after planting a small dartle into the stomach of a living person, Zhang's mind began to be controlled by the cruel and murderous little drought.

In the beginning, live chickens and ducks were eaten first.

As the little drought fish grew bigger and bigger, its appetite increased, and it began to eat the fetal gas and three souls of the fetus in the womb of other pregnant women.

Later, the Zhang family, which was controlled by Xiao Hanyu, made too much noise in Lingqian Township, or during this period, the Zhang family discovered something that was too secret, so it attracted the murder of the antique dealers and destroyed the corpses.

Therefore, when the local government quickly invited the senior monks of Bailong Temple, and the eldest lady took Jin'an to Lingqian Township, there would be no clues.

As for why the group of antique dealers had to leave Uncle He's birthday before leaving, it is estimated that nine times out of ten it is a thief's heart.

is still thinking about the eldest lady's noble life and belly.

I want to sacrifice the eldest lady and the He family to the little drought fish, and cultivate the little drought fish into a more powerful "wolf".

Listening to Master Perfect's words, Jin An's eyes were dewed.

He originally thought that the gang of antique dealers planted ghosts, just to harm people's lives, take people's money, and sweep away competitors in the business field for others.

It turned out that things were not so simple.

The real purpose of that group of antique dealers was actually to target the eldest lady and the He family, and wanted to change their lives in Headless Village.

But now he heard from Master Shanneng that he had received another, more unexpected news.

The little dartfish was born.

The real purpose of that gang of antique dealers is to cultivate the legendary "Qiang"?

Jin An frowned, and the more he wrinkled, the tighter he became.

Then, he told Gen Shanneng what he had seen last night and expressed his own conjectures.

"Master Shanneng, I suspect that last night's explosion, prison robbery, dragon chanting, and dragon king's landing were all caused by someone who was borrowing the dragon king of the Yinyi River to pretend to be a god and play ghosts, and the disaster moved eastward. ”

"Perhaps, this matter is related to the recent plan of the government to issue a heroic post, widely recruit the major avenues in the city, the Buddhist temples under the Yinyi River, the thousand caves, eradicate the Dragon King, and investigate why abnormal celestial phenomena have appeared in the Yinyi River recently. ”

"This was originally just my personal conjecture, and I wasn't too sure, but guess what rumors I heard in the city today? There is a big hand in the dark, taking advantage of the fact that the Dragon King went ashore, and began to spread rumors to slander Fu Yin. ”

Jin An's eyes sneered: "They are forcing the palace to Yin Na." ”

"Forced Fu Yin to make a decision as soon as possible, go down to the Yinyi River to find a thousand caves and find the Dragon King. ”

"I'm afraid that Fu Yin has already seen through the conspiracy of the big hand behind him, and has the heart to jump out of this predicament, but now the city is full of wind and rain, just like the atmosphere of slaughter before 'the mountain rain is about to come, the wind is full of buildings, and the black clouds are pressing down on the city and the city is about to destroy', and now the people are in turmoil, and this matter is no longer willing to be refused. ”

"If Fu Yin wants to stabilize the hearts of the people, he must go down the Yin Yi River as soon as possible and pacify the Dragon King. ”

"Master Shanneng, you said, could it be that the gang of antique dealers behind the Dragon King's landing this time is also fueling the trouble?" Jin An took a deep breath.

"It's just that I have one thing, and I haven't been able to figure it out, what are these people going to such great lengths to go to the Yinyi River to find the Dragon King?"

"Are they really so kind-hearted, slay demons and demons, cut off the dragon king's dragon head, and return the people on both sides of the Yinyi River to safety?"

The reason why Jin An guessed that it was done by an antique dealer was that he actually had a sentence in his heart that he hadn't said.

The slashing knife in Mr. Yinyang's village was taken away.

This side of the city is the Dragon King Terrace, the Dragon King Temple, and the Dragon King.

It's all too much of a coincidence.

That's why he thought that this time the Dragon King's landing case was related to the group of antique dealers who had always been mysterious.

Do you slay the dragon king with a sword?

Perhaps, the poor monks already knew what their purpose was. After listening to Jin An's story about last night, Master Shanneng was surprised.

said.

The Zen Neng mage took out an object from his robe.

That!

It is a broken jade that Jin An is all too familiar with!

"The Chang County White Tiger Bureau in the four-phase bureau has been broken. ”

"This White Tiger Bureau is a coffin temple in Chang County, a woman who has been sealed for thousands of years. ”

Jin An was stunned when he heard this.
