If you are obsessed with seeking blessings and blessings, it is better to be a Buddha before.

The meditation hall of Jietai Temple is a little lively today, not only because the presiding abbot is out of the customs today, but also because the county order of the county is visiting today.

Jiangdu County ordered Cao Youdao to make decisions for Ziyun in front of many people, and dissolved the marriage contract between Ziyun and Qian Taishao. Although Qian Taishao is a local tyrant, he still chose to bow his head and give in in front of his parents, and accepted the punishment of the county magistrate, of course, the one thousand taels of dowry he gave to 'Qinchun Lou' Wu Erniang will naturally go to ask for it back, this is his nature as a businessman.

Cao Youdao came to the gate of the mountain today, and it was indispensable to enter the temple to worship the Buddha, and he sent his servants back to the county office, leaving only two small servants to follow him, taking the opportunity to handle the case, and visiting the scenery of Poria Mountain in this spring.

Master Guangkong went out of the customs last night, and when he got up this morning, he only asked his little apprentice Hui Jue to prepare some porridge and side dishes for himself, and learned from Hui Jue's mouth that Ziyun was taken in by the temple, and knew that she was Qian Laohu's new wife, so he knew that this matter was very important, and the non-official government could not solve it, so he wrote a letter and sent Hui Jue to Jiangdu County to deliver the letter.

Zhiqing learned that the old abbot had been out of the customs, so he went to the Dongyuan Meditation Hall with his uncles to meet the abbot. Because Ziyun was free, he was full of gratitude to Elder Guangkong and the monks in the temple, and when he heard that the elder was out of the customs, he also wanted to follow Zhiqing to meet him. When everyone entered the East Garden, they saw Monk Huijue standing at the door with his hands folded waiting for everyone. This Hui Jue is the youngest disciple of Elder Guangkong, only four years older than Zhiqing, born with bright eyebrows, but also a smart and capable person, because he has served Elder Guangkong all the year round in his daily life, and Elder Guangkong is like father and son.

"Uncle Huijue, the old abbot has already been out of the customs, why don't you tell us?" Zhiqing hadn't seen Hui Jue since he returned to the mountain, and when he saw him today, he stepped forward to behave coquettishly.

"Little ghost, who made you can't remember the day when the elder came out? Blame me. Then he asked Zhiqing, "What about your master, why don't you see him coming?" ”

"My master accompanied the county master to the back mountain, and the county master came to our temple today, saying that he wanted to do office work and go out for fun, no, he took my master to the back mountain to play!"

"Oh, this county master, Yaxing is not small!" He also said: "Let's ignore him for now, the old abbot is meditating in the meditation hall, everyone come in!" With that, everyone walked to the meditation hall one after another.

Zhiqing was just about to enter the door, but suddenly remembered that Ziyun was also coming with her, because she was a guest in the temple, she didn't dare to walk in front of everyone, and only followed closely behind. Zhiqing turned around to look at Ziyun, only to see her carefully hiding under a loquat tree in the courtyard, poking her head out to check the scenery in the garden. This small courtyard where the elders of Guangkong live, is also a well-designed garden garden, the center of the garden is three meditation halls, there are Luohan Hall and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion on the left and right, close to the east side of the mountain stone next to the local conditions, but also built an antique hexagonal pavilion, next to it also planted some loquat, camphor and other trees, the garden as a whole looks, but also looks elegant and chic.

"Sister Ziyun, come here, don't you want to see our abbot, he's inside!" Zhiqing turned around and beckoned to Ziyun.

Ziyun tiptoed to Zhiqing, but Master Huijue asked Zhiqing with interest, "This is the female benefactor you rescued from the mountain, right?" ”

"Yes, her name is Ziyun, she is one year younger than me, and her family is from Luoyang." Zhiqing introduced Ziyun again: "This is my Uncle Huijue, who is only four years older than me. ”

"Hello Master!" Ziyun politely bowed down and saluted.

"The female benefactor doesn't have to be polite, we don't have so many rules here, you, me and Zhiqing, we are all the same age, don't talk about these false courtesies, come in!" After saying that, Hui Jue led Zhiqing and Ziyun to the inner room of the meditation hall.

The Dongyuan Meditation Hall has always been the living place of the presiding elders, and the meditation hall as a whole is a hall-like structure supported by several thick pillars. Ziyun followed Zhiqing into the hall, but saw that the hall was also spacious and tidy, and there were some yellow wind horse flags and prayer flags hanging on several thick pillars, and these prayer flags had some Sanskrit scriptures written on them, and they couldn't read it. On the surrounding walls, there are some Vajra Bodhisattvas with fluttering clothes, and their expressions are solemn and lifelike. Near the east wall, there is a Buddha shrine, in front of the Buddha statue is placed incense case, wooden fish, and there is a beige futon on the ground, obviously this is the place where the elders of Guangkong worship the Buddha and chant the scriptures.

Elder Guangkong's bedroom is located in the west of the meditation hall, Ziyun followed everyone into the house, and saw an old monk with gray hair sitting on the kang in the house, the old monk was wearing a purple robe, wearing a dark gray hat, and a large string of Buddhist beads hanging on his chest.

……

"Amitabha, the disciples have come to greet the presiding elder!" Master Huifa led all the monks to fold their hands and chant "Amitabha Buddha" in unison, and they all gave Buddha gifts to Master Guangkong and prayed for him.

Elder Guangkong opened his eyes lightly and smiled at everyone. He called to his apprentices: "Huifa, Huizhai, what happened outside the mountain gate!" ”

Huifa leaned forward and whispered, "Back to Master, the matter outside the mountain gate is over!" ”

"It's good, it's good, it's good, it's good! Ok ok! ”

When everyone heard this, they knew that the elder's words were sharp, and they hurriedly nodded yes. Elder Guangkong asked again, "Is Zhiqing here?" ”

Seeing that the elder called his name, Zhiqing hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Here, the disciple visits the ancestor, what does the ancestor command?" ”

Perhaps it was because Elder Guangkong was old and his eyes were not very good, he looked Zhiqing up and down, and confirmed that the little monk in front of him was the baby he picked up at the bottom of the mountain back then, so he nodded slightly and said, "Well, Zhiqing, have you ever gone to Daming Temple to meet Elder Guangyuan?" ”

"Yes, the disciple went down the mountain to Daming Temple a month ago, and only returned to the temple yesterday."

"Well, my senior brother Guangyuan, how is your health?"

"Elder Guangyuan is still in good health, and often sets up an altar in Daming Temple to preach, and many monks from famous mountains and ancient temples come to listen to the lectures."

"Hmm-" Master Guangkong nodded secretly and didn't ask any more.

It turned out that this Elder Guangkong and Elder Guangyuan, the presiding officer of Daming Temple, were brothers in the same sect, and they were both personal disciples of Master Jianzhen. In the twenty-first year of Kaiyuan, Master Guangkong, who had learned the Tao, left Daming Temple to be the abbot of Jietai Temple, and never returned to Daming Temple.

The presiding officer of Daming Temple was originally Master Jianzhen, but in the twelfth year of Tianbao, Master Jianzhen followed the Japanese Tang Mission to preach abroad, and six disciples also followed to Japan, so the presiding position of Daming Temple was held by Elder Guangyuan. Guangyuan was originally Guangkong's junior brother, and after Master Jianzhen went east, Guangyuan sent someone to ask Guangkong to go to the abbot of Daming Temple, but Master Guangkong politely refused.

Afterwards, Elder Guangyuan invited the monks in the temple to visit and exchange with the monks of the temple many times, Elder Guangkong focused on the development of the temple, and also sent several disciples to further study, Huiming, Huifa and other disciples have been to the Daming Temple to place orders, and Zhiqing is the first monk to get this opportunity among the monks of the "Zhi" generation, so it can be regarded as a fortunate thing.

After receiving everyone's worship, Elder Guangkong said to everyone: "Okay, you all go away, but Zhiqing wants to stay, I have something to ask you!" ”

"Huh? … Oh! Zhiqing listened to the elder's instructions, but he didn't know what the elder meant, and he didn't know what he was going to ask, so everyone withdrew from the meditation hall one after another, only Master Huifa pulled Zhiqing's sleeve and whispered in Zhiqing's ear: "Talk to the elder well, don't make him angry!" Then she patted him on the shoulder and slipped away.

Zhiqing looked confused, he didn't know what the elder was going to ask, he wanted to know what was going on, and he would wait for the following!
