40. Rush to accept apprentices

At noon the next day, the monk Xiuguang came over with a smile, and said excitedly as soon as they met: "You really have a way, the landlord went to the temple to ask for a sign, and while asking for a sign to worship the Buddha, he inquired about the whereabouts of those tenants everywhere." My junior disciples didn't know why, but seeing that the landlord was very pious, they had to let me go. ”

Yao Guangqi likes Xiuguang more and more, this monk is happy or worried all on his face, Yao Guangqi feels that he is surrounded by Buddha light, that compassionate mind is from the inside out, not just on the lips, this monk is really Pudu sentient beings, is really a Taoist monk. Yao Guangqi leaned in and joked to Xiuguang: "Presumably you must have played tricks on this rich man, and it is estimated that he broke a lot of money." ”

"Those who know me, the little monk also" Xiuguang nodded, folded his hands, and had a wicked smile on his face: "I gave him another divination, telling him that the tenants will naturally go to him in three days, and he will fast and worship the Buddha in these three days, and I asked him to set up a note on the spot, from now on, he will only receive fifty percent of the current tenants' rents, and he agreed without any hesitation, you see, I have taken back the notes." ”

Yao Guangqi looked at the note handed over by Xiuguang: "Buddha blesses, the tenants of his family will have no hunger from now on." ”

When the monk Xiuguang saw Yao Guangqi talking like this, he clapped his hands and applauded: "You have also recited the Buddha, how about it, how about entering my Buddha's door?" Worship under my door and be the abbot of my Jorinji Temple in the future. ”

Yuan Hui smiled and patted Xiuguang's shoulder: "Don't beat my brother's idea, I've found a good master for him, you are still a little bit behind." ”

Xiuguang said without modesty: "I, Xiuguang, am now a famous monk in the world, and I am the abbot of this ancient temple Dinglin Temple, is it bad to enter my door?" How many little monks who have just entered Buddhism dream of entering my door, but I can't look down on them, where do you go to find wild monks and rob people with me? ”

Yuan Heng raised a smile and said proudly: "My master." ”

Xiuguang couldn't close his mouth in surprise: "Your master?" Are you a Buddhist master or a Taoist master? Didn't they take in apprentices? Aren't you just a registered disciple? ”

Yuan Hui restrained his smile and said very seriously: "I will take him to see both masters." As for saying that my master doesn't accept apprentices, you only know one and don't know the other, my Taoist master has accepted two before, one is me, who is a named apprentice, and the other, hey, I won't talk about it. My Buddhist master, except for me, a named disciple, has confiscated apprentices, but he and my Taoist master do not accept apprentices for the same reason, and those with mediocre qualifications will never accept them. The master said that my qualifications were acceptable, so he handed me some furs, and as for those skills of slaying dragons against the sky, he didn't give them to me. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Jue looked at Yao Guangqi: "Seriously, I'm not sure that my two masters can accept you, if you can get the true inheritance of my two masters, it is your creation, the great creation, my master said, I would rather take away my ability than give it to someone who is not fated." I don't know if you are a person of fate, I just want to take you to a chance of luck, I hope you have this creation. ”

Yao Guangqi was stunned by what Yuan Heng said, he only knew that Yuan Hui was a dual cultivator of Buddhism and Taoism, but today he learned that Yuan Hui not only worshiped under the two masters of Buddhism and Taoism, but also the two masters were obviously peerless strange people who practiced together, and even a monk like Xiuguang was not in his eyes. And Yuan Hui has only learned some fur, he has such a ability, if it is his two masters themselves, who have the ability to slay dragons and defy the sky, isn't it a god?

"I don't dare to rob the apprentice that your master wants to take," Xiuguang sighed after listening to Yuan Hui's words, but he was not depressed, and suddenly remembered something else, and changed the topic: "This landlord is a well-known iron rooster, famous only in but not out, and has never given the tenant long-term worker a benefit other than wages, I am very curious, how did you make him obedient?" ”

Yao Guangqi joked with a smile: "The Buddha said, you can't say it, you can't say it, and you can't leak it." Although he said this, he still recounted the experience to Xiuguang, and finally said: "Actually, this is all the credit of Daoist Yuan, without his mana, we can't go so smoothly." ”

Xiuguang clapped his hands and applauded: "Good, good, wonderful, use evil tricks to deal with evil, and fight evil with evil." ”

Yao Guangqi thought it was difficult for Xiuguang: "Doesn't your Buddhists talk about compassion? Isn't it to cut meat and feed it to the eagles? Why do you still say that we are good at using this trick? ”

Xiuguang put away his smile and said, "The compassion that the Buddha said is not pedantic doing good to everyone. Blindly doing good to the wicked in a pedantic way, the wicked will still only do evil, and will also harm the good people, so the real great mercy is to persuade the people of the world and lead them to good, so that the wicked people have a heart of awe and fear, more than a heart of compassion and a heart of goodness. In this way, the wicked can be saved for good, and the wicked can also do good deeds, and as long as he does good, he is a Buddha. That's why the Buddha said that if you put down the butcher's knife, you can become a Buddha on the spot. This Wu De used to be an out-and-out wicked person, although what you did was not righteous, but you were able to finally make him do good deeds, this is my Buddha's compassion, and this is the true Buddha's understanding. After Xiuguang finished speaking, he took a deep look at Yao Guangqi and the three of them.

Yao Guangqi finally understood at this moment, why a monk who was originally a monk who was a Jiangyang thief halfway to become a monk was able to debate the scriptures in front of the world's high monks and win the championship, why he could take over as the abbot of this ancient temple and famous temple, Xiuguang's understanding of Buddhism is eclectic but insightful, and he is not confined to secular prejudices but conforms to Buddhism everywhere. Although Yao Guangqi and Xiuguang have been together for a short time, they have learned a lot of things and realized a lot of things in Xiuguang, but what they have learned, what they have understood, what they have understood, Yao Guangqi can't understand and say clearly before, and now, Yao Guangqi finally understands that the so-called Buddhism is only single-minded here in Xiuguang, he is not confined to the Buddhist scriptures, nor is he entangled in the ordinary rules and precepts, he can secretly eat meat, and he can also applaud for deviance, because he really has great compassion in his heart, great virtue, and what he does. It is really a great merit in the Purdue world.

After living in Dinglin Temple for a few days, Yao Guangqi really liked this place, and preferred Xiuguang, the great monk, the more he came into contact with him, the more he felt that he was respectable and lovely.

A few days later, the three of them said goodbye to Dinglin Temple and Xiuguang and set off for the north. They didn't go straight to Beiping, because Yuan Heng once revealed that before arriving in Beiping, there was an important place to go. The route was planned by Yuan Hui, and no matter how Zhang Yu and Yao Guangqi asked, Yuan Hui didn't say a word about where they were going. But Yao Guangqi had a hunch that Yuan Heng missed the day when King Yan went out of Beijing for the first time because of an important matter, and after coming back, he said to Zhu Di that there was a person who agreed with Zhu Di, and Yao Guangqi still remembers that he was going to join Zhu Di with Yuan Hui? To meet the person Zhu Di has always dreamed of? Or does Yuan Heng want to take himself to meet his master? Try to see if you are worshipping under Master Yuan Hui's door?
