Chapter Seventy-Eight: Bao'en Temple
Bao'en Temple is the largest temple here, there are 200 monks, incense is prosperous, and the status of the abbot here is also very high.
There are only more than 40 monks in Huangjue Temple, by the way, a few monks have been added recently, the specific number is unknown, in this case, Zhu Chongba came to Bao'en Temple to do something, this is simply a toad wanting to eat swan meat, wishful thinking! Let's see how Zhu Chongba does it.
"What a good tea! But Abbot, I would like to ask, do you usually drink such tea? In fact, it was very impolite for Zhu Chongba to ask like this, but Zhu Chongba didn't seem to think of this at all.
"Master Rujing! Isn't it rude for you to say that? The abbot looked very displeased.
Zhu Chongba ignored the abbot of Bao'en Temple, and then said, "I have this kind of tea here, it is tea from Huangjue Temple, please taste it." ”
Originally, the abbot of Bao'en Temple was very displeased, but when he heard Zhu Chongba's words and saw the bag of tea that Zhu Chongba put in front of him, the abbot of Bao'en Temple couldn't help it, after all, Zhu Chongba came to give him a gift, and he was embarrassed to be angry, "I will taste this opportunity, Master Rujing, congratulations on winning the championship in one fell swoop in the last lecture ceremony, you are really talented!" ”
"Where, where! It's just a lot of money! Let the abbot smile. Zhu Chongba returned the abbot's words to the abbot of Bao'en Temple.
In the same way, the old abbot said that he was satirizing Zhu Chongba, but Zhu Chongba is now back, and the meaning has completely changed.
"Master Rujing, you are amazing! But don't be foolish with your tongue, I'm going to call all the monks who participated in the Dharma lecture that day, and let you compete again, do you dare to fight? The abbot of Bao'en Temple looked at Zhu Chongba angrily.
"A bunch of defeated men! Why don't you dare? "Zhu Chongba is absolutely sure at this point, originally Zhu Chongba has not yet figured out a way to convince the abbot of Bao'en Temple, now it's okay, such an arrangement, Zhu Chongba is simply too happy.
The ten monks who participated in the lecture and puja of Bao'en Temple soon came to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, which is the largest hall in Bao'en Temple, and the abbot of Bao'en Temple called all the monks of the temple in order to show that Zhu Chongba was a person who was indiscriminate.
The ten monks didn't know what was going on, but when they heard that they were talking to Zhu Chongba about the scriptures and the Dharma, their hearts were a little hairy, because their understanding of the Buddhist scriptures was not at the same level as Zhu Chongba, but since the abbot had spoken, they had to bite the bullet.
Because the temper of the abbot of Bao'en Temple is not very good, often because the monks have made a little mistake, they are heavily punished, all the monks dare not speak out, there is no way, send people under the fence, what dignity can there be!
This time, the monks who are going to take the entrance examination of Huangjue Temple, there are seven of them, and the meal of Huangjue Temple left a very unforgettable impression on them, but they categorically did not dare to let the abbot of Bao'en Temple know about this matter, and Zhu Chongba did not pay attention to this matter, because Zhu Chongba In Zhu Chongba's opinion, this is not what he relied on.
So under the auspices of the abbot of Bao'en Temple, a small lecture began, this time the abbot of Bao'en Temple in order to let Zhu Chongba know the difficulty and retreat, directly out of a super difficult Buddhist question, of course, he will not let the monks of Bao'en Temple start to answer.
The abbot of Bao'en Temple thought very cleverly, that is, when Zhu Chongba couldn't answer, he immediately announced that Zhu Chongba had failed, and then the competition could be over.
How difficult is this Buddhist question? Let's put it this way, among the many monks of Bao'en Temple present, one is counted as one, and none of them knows the answer to this Buddhist question, of course, including the abbot of Bao'en Temple himself.
So the abbot of Bao'en Temple announced the question, and when the monks of Bao'en Temple heard the question, everyone looked at each other, because no one knew the answer, "Please Master Rujing first talk about the scriptures and explain the doubts!" ”
Zhu Chongba stood on the podium unhurriedly, and began his challenge to preach alone again, in fact, the abbot of Bao'en Temple asked this Buddhist problem, Zhu Chongba also just understood, if Zhu Chongba was asked a few days ago, Zhu Chongba would definitely not be able to answer, but today Zhu Chongba has been all thoroughly studied, it can be seen that Zhu Chongba has not relaxed his study of Buddhism at all, this is really a line of work, a line of love, a line of dedication.
Zhu Chongba's speech this time is very slow, the point of view is clear, the arguments are sufficient, there is irrefutable logical power, don't say others, even the abbot of Bao'en Temple himself is also deeply attracted, Zhu Chongba's words, for the abbot of Bao'en Temple, it is simply Daigo empowerment, so that the abbot of Bao'en Temple suddenly opened, he had to admit that Zhu Chongba's explanation was very correct, although he didn't know what the answer was, but after Zhu Chongba's lecture, he understood.
In fact, the abbot of Bao'en Temple at this time, there is no anger towards Zhu Chongba, but Zhu Chongba is like this, so he has no face, so the abbot of Bao'en Temple has an idea, announcing that the lecture continues, he gave the monks of Bao'en Temple to participate in the competition The questions are very easy topics, the following monks will understand when they hear it, and they feel that Zhu Chongba has suffered, but Zhu Chongba himself does not think so, in Zhu Chongba's view, all Buddhism is the same, there is no difficult difference.
Before anyone else could speak, the abbot of Bao'en Temple announced the end of the preaching, and the result was that the two sides were evenly matched, regardless of victory or defeat, so that everyone else left, and the abbot also took Zhu Chongba to the guest room, "Master Rujing, you see that your level is also average!" This time it was a tie, and if the last lecture was held at this temple, you would definitely not get the first place. "Until now, this abbot of Bao'en Temple is still not convinced at all, and still says such things.
Zhu Chongba said modestly, "Rujing's understanding of Buddhism is still too shallow, and he will work hard to study it in the future. ”
"If you have any questions, just tell me! I'll give you guidance! The abbot of Bao'en Temple said confidently.
This time, Zhu Chongba sincerely asked for advice, he was not embarrassed to repay the abbot of the temple, "This is the problem." Zhu Chongba handed the abbot of Bao'en Temple a note, this is Zhu Chongba's habit, if there is a problem, he will write it down on a small note.
"Do you have this question? That's right, it's not difficult at all! What he said was..."The abbot of Bao'en Temple actually said that there was no sound as he spoke.
Zhu Chongba doesn't know what's going on! He was still listening seriously, "Abbot, your voice is too small for me to hear, please make your voice louder!" ”
"Master Rujing is like this! My eyes are not very good, they have been hurting lately, I will go back to rest first, and when my eyes don't hurt anymore, I will explain to you, you can live here first. After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhu Chongba to speak, the abbot of Bao'en Temple left as soon as he slipped away.
"Abbot go slowly!" Zhu Chongba's voice did not fall, and the abbot could no longer be seen. But Zhu Chongba will be thinking about this Buddhist question, he carried a Buddhist scripture with him, and then he began to specialize in it, I don't know how long it took, Zhu Chongba felt hungry, so he stood up, and saw that someone had prepared a meal for him on the table outside, and Zhu Chongba was still very satisfied with such a hospitality.
Because he was really hungry, so, he quickly finished eating, to be honest, this Bao'en Temple's fast rice is really hard to swallow, this is not Zhu Chongba saying bad things about them, in Zhu Chongba's opinion, it is that no material changes, and the cooking method is improved, which is a big difference.
In fact, when he was in Huangjue, Zhu Chongba just changed some ingredients, and he didn't use the advanced cooking methods in later generations, because that's it, the monks of Huangjue Temple were already moved, and Zhu Chongba's plan was to take his time.
"That's right! I figured it out! Zhu Chongba shouted, because he finally deduced the Buddha's theory, Zhu Chongba was really happy, and asked him to thank the abbot of Bao'en Temple very much, if it wasn't in Bao'en Temple, if Zhu Chongba deduced this Buddha's theory, maybe it would take more time.
Now that this question has been figured out, Zhu Chongba is going to take a good walk in Bao'en Temple, because in Zhu Chongba's opinion, this is already his territory, although it is not yet, it is because he has not implemented his plan, once the plan is implemented, then it will be as easy as exploring the bag and taking things.
According to the current version, Zhu Chongba was full of revolutionary optimism, despised the enemy strategically and valued others tactically.
If you want to take Bao'en Temple under your command, Zhu Chongba has a lot to do, if there is no lecture just now, few monks in Bao'en Temple know Zhu Chongba, but after the retribution ceremony just now, Zhu Chongba is already unknown to everyone, and everyone admires Zhu Chongba from the bottom of their hearts.
"Good Master Rujing!" Whenever Zhu Chongba walked to a place, there were monks who greeted him, which made Zhu Chongba very embarrassed, because people knew him, but he didn't know others.
"Dare to ask the senior brother's number, it's so clean and polite!" Everyone who greeted Zhu Chongba, Zhu Chongba asked for the law number of the person, and Zhu Chongba still remembered it very clearly, and it didn't take long for Zhu Chongba to know many people.
The so-called relying on parents at home, old friends outside, and among monks, it is also like this, because Zhu Chongba is very respectful in his heart and respects everyone very much, so that everyone is more enthusiastic about Zhu Chongba.
"Master Huichen, may I ask if the incense in your Bao'en Temple is prosperous?"
"It's okay!" Master Huichen frowned and said, Master Huichen is responsible for the logistics of Bao'en Temple, and he knows this well, the temple is also a unit, and many people eat, drink, and Lazar, which is not a small number.
"Isn't it better than it used to be?" In fact, Zhu Chongba asked knowingly, Dayuan is getting more and more chaotic now, he is very clear about this, but Zhu Chongba is not casually asking, he wants to confirm what level Bao'en Temple is in now.
This point is very important, after all, if people have a good life, you want to annex others, it is impossible, although Zhu Chongba wants to take Bao'en Temple under his command, then the conditions need to be met, otherwise, he will not do useless work.
"The difference is too big, if it goes on like this, Bao'en Temple won't last for a few months, you can also see, the fasting meal is not delicious, is it! There's no way around it. Master Huichen said worriedly.
Although Zhu Chongba wanted to accept Bao'en Temple, but when he heard that people were not doing well, he didn't feel good in his heart, after all, he is also a monk now, in fact, Zhu Chongba's heart is very simple, that is, to let the monks all over the world be fed and clothed, and Zhu Chongba thinks that the monks of the temple should be self-sufficient, they are all strong young men, how can they rely on other people's offerings?
Later, when Zhu Yuanzhang raised troops, he also implemented the military cantonment system, which was also out of the same idea.
Originally, Zhu Chongba wanted to find the abbot of Bao'en Temple to talk about the Buddhist problem just now, but he couldn't find the abbot, and the deacon monk said that the abbot was not feeling well.
As soon as he heard the news, Zhu Chongba felt that the abbot was so old, he must be not in good health, he originally felt that this medical problem was not a big problem, and now it seems that Zhu Chongba will have to think more about this aspect of the problem in the future.
So Zhu Chongba walked out of the Bao'en Temple, the location of the Bao'en Temple is much better than the location of the Huangjue Temple, and the Bao'en Temple also has a lot of temple fields, these are the resources that Zhu Chongba can use in the future, he must be very attentive.
This is Zhu Chongba, his way of thinking is really different from others, if it were someone else, he would definitely not think like this, but Zhu Chongba thinks like this.
In fact, this way of thinking is also very beneficial, for example, you can really understand what you need to look like.
"Master, can you give me something to eat?" When Zhu Chongba was walking forward, a victim stopped Zhu Chongba.
Zhu Chongba has a natural sympathy for the people who are suffering, because he was also hungry a few years ago, and it happened that Zhu Chongba was carrying a piece of bread, so he gave it to the victim.
"Where is dude from?"
"Henan!"
"How did you get here?"
"The Yellow River is flooded! Today is especially serious! ”
When Zhu Chongba heard the news, he felt really uncomfortable, his life was not easy, and there was another natural disaster, it was really a disaster!
"Where are you going?" Zhu Chongba asked again.
"I heard that Gusu City is better there, how about going there?"
