Maduo Baoling Temple is built on the mountain, the whole building complex is rising step by step, the bottom is a row of white prayer towers, there are several believers slowly turning in circles below, still shaking the prayer cylinder in their hands, a pious look.

Lou Jingzhong leaned over to Fang Shi and said: "There is a convenient door in Buddhism, this scripture cylinder is one of the masterpieces, a typical example of stealing and playing tricks, I don't know how those monks explain it?" ”

How does this need to be explained? Can't you let the poor herdsmen who can't read and write recite the scriptures? ”

"Uh, too, it turns out that the door of convenience means this, which belongs to filling the gap!"

"Taoism also had such behaviors back then, such as the Five Bucket Rice Sect."

Lou Jingzhong smiled secretly, the world god stick is a family, everyone plays the same tricks, Taoism was in the scenery back then, it was also the same as wishing, many Taoism have studied the use of wishing power, such as relying on the magic of sending the gods, inviting the gods, séance, etc., are all wishing spells.

Later, Taoism gradually declined, and the cultivators tended to be born, began to be alone, and slowly broke away from the system of willingness, and returned to the natural system.

Similar changes are taking place in Buddhism today, and the idea of crossing others before oneself has become a powerful force. It is parting ways with secularized Buddhism. Gradually integrated into the Xuanmen system.

Fang Shi casually looked at the prayer tower. I walked up the stone steps that had been worn out very badly, and came to the mountain gate, but found that the mountain gate was wide open, and several neatly dressed monks were sitting or standing by the door.

"Wise monk, I haven't seen you for a long time, why did you guard the mountain gate? Did you make a mistake? ”

The wise monk's eyes lit up. Then he greeted him with a sense of understanding, and gestured to his companion.

"It turned out to be Master Fang, it's really rare, it's rare! It's not that the poor monk made a mistake, but the master asked me to wait here to greet the distinguished guest, this distinguished guest should not be talking about Master Fang, right? ”

Fang Shi shook his head with a smile: "I don't know about this, I have to ask your master." ”

The wise monk folded his hands and saluted Fang Shi, and Fang Shi also returned the salute, and by the way, he introduced Lou Jing and others, and then under the sandwich of a group of monks. With the wise monk entered the mountain gate.

Turn left and right along the trail and go up a few more steps. Everyone finally came to a small courtyard, in the middle of the courtyard is a meditation room, at this time the door is open, an old monk with gray eyebrows is sitting cross-legged on the couch, one hand on the small table on the side, the other hand is naturally counting a string of prayer beads, looking at the group of people who came in from the gate of the courtyard with a smile in their eyes.

Seeing Fang Shi, the old monk's eyes flashed, and he stretched out his legs to sit on the couch and greeted him outside the door.

The wise monk said in his heart that he guessed correctly, the master asked him to greet Fang Shi is indeed Fang Shi, on the other hand, as soon as the master saw Fang Shi actually greeted the door in person, this situation seems to be a few times in the memory of wisdom, could it be that this Fang Shi is really a great man?

The wise monk was about to step forward to tell the master, but Fang Shi preemptively bowed his hand: "Fang Shi, the elder of Qingcheng Mountain in Shuzhong, has seen the abbot master. ”

"Elder Fang is polite, the poor monk knows the good, the distinguished guest is here, it is a great honor, don't bow with you, please come in to talk."

"Master Zhishan is polite, please."

The wise monk couldn't help but be a little surprised, it turned out that this master who met on the side of Pengcheng Street really had a background, Qingcheng Mountain's reputation is known all over the world, and he was named the Heavenly Master Dao Ancestral Hall, he was born in Qingcheng Mountain is already very noble, not to mention that he is already an elder at such a young age, this square stone is definitely powerful, fortunately he didn't do anything wrong at that time, otherwise he would definitely be scolded to death by the master.

Master Zhishan invited Fang Shi to sit on the couch, and the wise monk brought a few small benches over, and Lou Jingzhong had to sit on the small bench, which was much shorter, and they needed to look up at the two of them.

Lou Jingzhong was originally Fang Shi's subordinate, and he was naturally calm, Xu Liquan was a capable person who could bend and stretch, so he naturally didn't care, but he was also noble, Zhang Kexin, who was the senior brother of Longhu Mountain, was a little unconvinced, but in front of Fang Shi, he was more and more afraid to be presumptuous, so he had to sit sullenly.

The two exchanged a few words, and Fang Shi talked about the last time he passed by Maduo Baolin Temple.

"Not long ago, I also passed by at the foot of Baoshan, but because of important matters in my body, my heart was disturbed, so I never went up the mountain to pay respects."

"Sure enough, was it Elder Fang that time? The poor monk saw that the heavens and the earth were shocked, and he knew that there was a noble person coming, but it was just a side of fate. After yesterday's evening class, I suddenly had a whim, and I knew that there was a distinguished guest today, but I didn't expect it to be a master who I couldn't see that day. ”

Master Zhishan speaks Chinese very well, and his voice is also very slow, giving people a sense of cordiality and stability.

"On the same day, I met with the master in Pengcheng, and the master said that the master is a master, and he had a thought in his heart for a while, and his wish was fulfilled today, and I should be happy, the master was inspired by the sky, and admired under it."

The two praised each other, and the topic gradually turned to the essence of cultivation, Tibetan Buddhism practice pays attention to the heart, and the cultivation pays attention to the nature of Taoism, both of them are studious people, the master of Zhishan talks about cultivating the mind and hearing and thinking, and Fang Shi discusses the unity of life, one is to specialize in the original heart of people, not to be refined and not deep, and the other is to focus on the world, not to be broad and not broad. When I said it, it was all talking, and I felt like I hated to see each other late.

Several people who were listening had their own expressions, Xu Liquan was a duck listening to thunder, and he could understand it at the beginning, but later the communication between the two began to be abstracted, all of which were things that could only be understood and difficult to say, a large number of nouns and allusions not to mention Xu Liquan, even Zhang Kexin and Zhizhi were not clear, so Xu Liquan was a real onlooker.

Lou Jingzhong is a family heirloom, proficient in art and neglected Taoism, and he is not good at these theoretical things, not to mention that the two of them are not discussing ordinary theories, but high-end theories, so he finally became a bystander.

On the contrary, it is the wise monk and Zhang Kexin, although the two have different qualifications and experiences, but they have one thing in common, that is, they have been practicing since childhood, and they have studied under famous teachers, and the foundation is quite solid, for these theoretical things, they still have a deep understanding, but later the two of them said a little too obscure and mysterious, but the literal meaning, the two still understand, they both know that this is a rare opportunity, even if they don't understand, they will write it down first, and then slowly understand, there will be gains.

As soon as the two of them talked about it, they forgot the time, during which they were hungry, so the wise monk took some cakes and butter tea, and the two chatted while eating, until the bell rang, it turned out that it was time for dinner, according to the rules, at this time there would be no more hospitality, and the mountain gate would be closed.

"Oh, time flies so fast, I can't imagine it's already this time."

"Tonight, Elder Fang and your family will stay in the temple for one night, your entourage has a lot of cause and effect, and it would be good to wait for the poor monk to chant and pray for him tomorrow."

"Hehe, then thank you Master, we're going to bother Master here today."

"Why bother? Today, I talked with Elder Fang, the poor monk benefited a lot, but there will be progress in the future, all thanks to Elder Fang, such an opportunity, I can't ask for it, but the mountain temple is ugly, and I neglect the guests. ”

"The master is polite, they are all cultivators, if there is anything simple, then don't disturb the master's evening class, let's leave first, and come back tomorrow to ask the master for advice."

"Please! Be wise, you will entertain your guests for your teacher, and do not neglect them. ”

"Yes, Master."

Wise and happy to take everyone to the guest house at the foot of the mountain, enthusiastically prepared to eat and entertain Fang Shi and others, and when the food was put on the table, there was a melodious chanting sound on the mountain, and the wise monk confessed a sin, and went to the next door to recite the scriptures, and then came back to eat with everyone.

Everyone was very relaxed when talking with Wise, even Fang Shi gossiped about Wise's life in the temple, and even talked about some sensitive topics, and Wise Monk did not shy away from telling the truth.

In the words of a wise monk, those who engage in foreign affairs are just doing things for their own selfish interests, and as monks, regardless of their cultivation but concerned about politics, what can they say except that they have ulterior motives? Moreover, the wise monk unabashedly said that Maduo Baoling Monastery is against the integration of politics and religion, and it is a rather pure temple, and the monks here are all here to practice, not because of the high status of the monks.

Of course, Xu Liquan will not fully believe it, people like him will not completely believe anyone, but this time Fang Shi came to visit Master Zhishan so solemnly, which made Xu Liquan more wary of Maduo Baolin Temple, and from today's situation, Fang Shi's evaluation of Master Zhishan is also very high, Xu Liquan feels that it is necessary to report this matter, and the attention to Master Zhishan must be further improved in the future.

After eating, everyone had nowhere to go, so they went back to their rooms to rest, and they didn't say anything all night.

The next day, when the bell rang, Fang Shi was already standing in the small courtyard to practice the tiger and crane double shape, the yin and yang breath here is very active, the proper use of these active yin and yang breath is very beneficial to cultivation, Fang Shi found that the environment has a great impact on cultivation, different environments, should also cooperate with different cultivation methods to achieve the best, it seems that a lot of exercises are out of shape in fact, it is not necessarily a problem of exercises, maybe because the region has changed, the people who practice have changed.

After a while, Lou Jingzhong and Zhang Kexin also came out to practice, and when their morning luck was over, the wise monk sent breakfast over, and then made an appointment with Fang Shi to go to the Buddha Hall at ten o'clock to hold a blessing ceremony, because there is also an empowerment ceremony for believers today, so Master Zhishan plans to do it together, and with the wishes of believers, the effect may be better.

Fang Shi naturally agreed, and then asked Lou Jingzhong and Xu Liquan to prepare, as for what to prepare, it is naturally a gift or something, this is not for Master Zhishan, nominally, this is dedicated to the gods and Buddhas. (To be continued......)
