Chapter 61: The Imperial Decree Restrains the Gods

Sending off the two monks, who were especially a little unsatisfied, and closing the door, Fahai sat back on the futon with a slightly pale face, feeling that his body was hollowed out.

It is not difficult to lose to the other party when it comes to the teachings of the Dharma, but the difficult thing is to forcibly lower yourself to the same level as them, and then pretend to be defeated by the other party with rich experience.

It's like if you're playing math with a schoolboy and exhausting the Leibniz formula, the Lopida rule, and the Taylor formula...... I wasted three or five pencils and dozens of pages of manuscript paper, and finally pretended to get 7 + 8 = 16, but it could not be seen that it was obviously releasing water.

Of course, Fahai was very suspicious that even if he put a fingertip cosmic water on his face, it was not certain whether the other party could see it.

A particularly effective Buddhist temple, and a group of monks who do not understand the scriptures...... No matter how you look at this white rock temple, it has a strong weird smell.

As soon as Jue Ming Jue Yuanfu walked out of the guest room, Jue Si greeted him from the corner on the side.

"What's the matter, is there anything wrong with that little monk?"

Jueming touched the big shiny bald head and smiled a little smugly.

"That little monk still has a wisdom root, although he can't be compared with us, but he can also see that he has studied the Buddhist scriptures seriously, and he should be an ordinary wandering monk, big ...... Abbot, he should have thought too much. ”

"No problem, I've lived in the temple for a long time, and I really think of myself as a monk......? Let's go to the room to eat, see that you two are also diligent today, and the Bodhisattva's almsgiving in the evening is barely counted as your share. ”

An impatient wave of his hand interrupted Jueming's boasting, and Jue Si dismissed the two monks in a few words.

"Thank you for ...... Sandang"

As soon as they heard the promise made by Juesi, the two of them couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked them and ran to the room.

"Remember to call each other Dharma names in the temple, if one day because you two said that you leaked your mouth, and ruined the abbot's good deeds, see if I don't pick your skin carefully!"

Roughly interrupting the unfinished words of the two, Jue Si seemed to feel a little unsafe, and emphasized one sentence emphatically.

Caught off guard and saw Juesi's cold tone, the two hurriedly responded for a while.

When the two of them walked away, Jue Si glanced at the guest room where Fahai was located a few more times, and then paced away quietly.

And Fahai in the guest room just sat on the futon with his eyes closed, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

A short time later, there was a creak of the door opening and closing.

Fahai slowly opened his eyes, only to see a little novice walking in with a small lunch box.

"Senior Brother Juesi asked the little monk to bring some food to Senior Brother Fahai, today there are distinguished guests coming to the door, the room is not open to the public, and now the price of rice is not low, the temple has to raise so many monks, a little coarse tea and light rice, and I hope the senior brother will forgive me. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Shami took out a bowl of gruel and two plates of pickles from the lunch box and handed them to Fahai.

"It's okay, the monks don't take pleasure in the desire of the tongue, just a little food to satisfy the stomach. ”

With his hands folded and chanting, Fahai picked up the chopsticks with his right hand, picked out a chopsticks and put them in his mouth, and was slightly stunned, but he pretended to chew it as if nothing happened.

"Then please use it slowly, the senior brother will retire first, and someone else will collect the dishes and chopsticks for the senior brother after a while. ”

Seeing that Fahai didn't have any disgust, the little novice suddenly settled down with a heart, and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute. ”

Fahai suddenly stopped him, raised his head and asked slowly.

"Dare to ask the junior brothers, do all the senior brothers in the temple use fasting together?"

"This one...... It seems that because there are many monks in the temple, we can't finish the meals for the whole temple at one time, so the senior brothers in the inner courtyard eat separately from us. ”

Touching his head, although he didn't know what he meant, Xiao Shami still informed Fahai of the matter in 1510.

"Is that so? The poor monk knows, thank you, junior brother. ”

After the little novice left, Fahai put down his chopsticks, picked up the porridge bowl and took another sip.

smashed his lips, sure enough, it was not an illusion before, and the pickles and gruel clearly had some oily smell of beef and sheep.

Cultivating to the realm of Fahai, the five senses are clear, you can see all directions, and you can taste all kinds of flavors.

Although you haven't tasted it once and you can explain the cooking process thoroughly, it is not difficult to just tell the taste.

If Fahai is not wrong, the pot kettle for stir-frying gruel and pickles should have been steamed and boiled before, and the greasy iron pot is difficult to thoroughly scrub clean, and over time it will inevitably bring a trace of the fishy smell of cattle and sheep.

Drinking wine and eating meat is obviously not something that a serious monk can do.

Primitive Buddhism abstained from meat, which is vegetables with a foul smell or peculiar smell, and fishy refers to all meat.

It's just that the ancient monks were along the door, and the main family would inevitably have meat or greasy alms, and the Buddha was merciful and undisciplined, so he allowed the monks to eat the three pure meats.

That is, not to kill without seeing the eyes, not to kill without hearing the ears, and not to kill for oneself.

Later, Liang Wu of the Southern Dynasty issued an edict prohibiting monks from eating meat, with the idea of killing life, and from then on, ordinary secular monasteries no longer eat meat.

What the monks of Baiyan Temple did, not to mention that they had already violated the common precepts and rules, was contrary to what the Buddha had allowed.

There are hundreds of monks in Baiyan Temple, and the monks in the inner courtyard are not less than forty or fifty people, and the monks in the inner courtyard alone all eat cattle and sheep, and the consumption of one day is no less than two.

And once the monks have a demand, the butcher at the foot of the mountain slaughters two or three more cattle and sheep every day, and this slaughter will inevitably be linked to the monks on the mountain anyway.

If you don't kill yourself, you will naturally break it without attacking.

You must know that eating meat or not is never the goal, but to nourish the loving heart of monks and laymen.

If you can't even understand this, how can you call the word monk, it's just a butcher in monk's clothes.

If Fahai still cares about the safety of the pilgrims during the day, he did not act rashly.

But now, on the moontop treetops, the temple is closed, and there is obviously no scruples.

With a cuff, the crystal clear Leifeng Pagoda flew out, turning into a streamer that enveloped the entire Baiyan Mountain.

The light curtain that Leifeng Pagoda turned into was only slightly flickering, and it quickly dissipated into the thick night, looking no different from the past.

However, if a cultivator passes by, he will naturally find that there is a large array blocking the entire hill, and he is not allowed to enter or leave.

At the same time, Fahai pointed to the ground with his right foot, pinched a Buddha seal in his hand, and still recited words in his mouth:

"I am honored by the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo, and the land is decreed, come quickly. ”

A golden light Buddha mantra was smashed into the ground, and a faint divine light went straight to the netherworld of heaven and earth, resonating with a certain will between heaven and earth.

The next moment, a middle-aged man with a lupine scarf and a beautiful robe appeared in a daze, with a little bewilderment, until he saw Fahai, he was busy holding his hands and said:

"The little god Baiyan Mountain Land Fang Yuan, I have seen the elders. I don't know what the elders are doing when they call the little gods to come?"
