has followed Shizun to walk the rivers and lakes for several years, what kind of wit Huang Dalang has never seen, and because of this, he unconsciously learned some of Zhu Taozhi's temperament.

The old monk in this pavilion, Huang Dalang still respects him very much when he sees him, but this guy's style is unpleasant, and the two have not agreed to fight poetry. Huang Dalang politely begged for a cup of tea, and he came up with a poem on his own, in case Huang Dalang couldn't answer, would he be embarrassed in front of Wan Chunnu?

Moreover, today I met Huang Dalang, what if I met Zhang Dalang and Li Dalang?

From this, it can be judged that this old monk must be arrogant at ordinary times, not to mention his arrogance, and maybe he is still abducted and deceived by the identity of Buddhism, for such a monk, Huang Dalang's master has always seen one to clean up one by one, and now although this one is bumped into Huang Dalang's hands, I am afraid that it will not be able to please it.

So Huang Dalang simply took an inch, and fought with him for two lines of poetry according to the method taught by Shizun, which really choked him.

"Ask for a cup in the evening!" Huang Dalang crossed his hands and saluted, his face was respectful, and he smiled in his heart. The method taught by his master is also simple, but all monks like to use mundane things and common principles as an introduction, and then lead back to the Dharma, so it is easy to break his wit, and it is enough to directly crush it with a larger Dharma.

For example, the old monk's "Thousand Sails on the River" just now, it is estimated that it will lead to the argument that the river is bustling with fame and fortune, and then it must be that fame and fortune are empty, and it is better to believe in Buddhism and seek liberation. So Huang Dalang directly broke it, and the sentence "Ten Thousand Buddhas sit in Anguo" suppressed him. As for "Sail Connecting Hundreds of Thousand Rivers" and "Buddhism Degrees Ten Thousand States", it is like robbing one robbery and one eliminating robbery when playing chess, but the one who eliminated the robbery was eliminated before the robbery was done, so that the roles of the old monk and Huang Dalang seemed to be reversed.

The old monk's throat was pounding, and then he spread his hands and said: "The old monk only has two cups, and they are all asked for you!" ”

Indeed, there is no other cup on the side of the old monk's teapot, and I think he is here to make tea in order to meet someone who can play with him, and then a cup of tea for one person will be a good pastime.

Huang Dalang smiled and said: "It's okay, the master is willing to give up!" ”

The old monk has no hair on his head and a beard under his chin, but he finally looked at Huang Dalang with a straight face, stretched out his hand to stroke his beard and said: "The old monk went to Zhenjiang Jinshan Temple in the past, and occasionally got one, and the little donor can be interested in listening to it." ”

Huang Dalang said in his heart that the meat was coming, but he said with a forked hand: "I want to hear it in detail!" ”

The old monk said: "As a Bodhi tree, the roots are deep and the heart is seen." The branches are prosperous, and the leaves are looking for relief. ”

When Huang Dalang heard this, he felt strange, and he couldn't figure out what this meant, so he was not ashamed to ask: "Please also ask the master to solve your doubts!" ”

The old monk's eyes were blazing, staring at Huang Dalang and said: "This person, just like a tree, if you want to live, you have to take root first, and only when the roots are deep can you thrive, and you can see whether the tree is flowering or fruiting." However, once the tree grows too leafy, it is not a good thing for the tree itself, there are too many horizontal branches to grow taller, and the leaves are too lush and easy to be frustrated by wind and rain, after all, they are all troubles. ”

After Huang Dalang listened, he replied without thinking: "What's so difficult about this, life is not satisfactory in the world, it is better to hang on the southeast branch." And before hanging the southeast branch, master, do you think I still want to follow you out of the house to shave a degree, and then donate some money to the monastery, do some water and land rituals, and wait for me to hang the southeast branch can go directly to the Western Elysium, and be a celestial Buddha in the next life, so I don't have to worry? ”

"Ahem! Little donor, you ......" The old monk was choked by Huang Dalang's words and almost jumped up, if it was an accident to the poem just now, then this time his routine had just begun, but he was directly interrupted by Huang Dalang and broke it with a word, which could never be an accident.

According to the established routine, after the old monk explained that the troubles of trees were similar to the troubles of life, Huang Dalang's reaction should be "Yes!" Oh, yes! What a trouble! What should I do? And then the old monk has to further guide what to say that the father and mother will die of old age, the wife and concubine will be discolored, the official will be unlucky, and the business will encounter bandits...... In short, life is full of birth, old age, sickness and death, and these troubles are caused by not learning the Dharma, so as long as you learn the Dharma with him and become his disciple, all your troubles can be relieved.

Belch! As for donating things like family property to the temple after selling them, it seems that it is also a matter of course, and of course it is not required.

Huang Dalang didn't care about the old monk's surprise, and motioned to Wan Chunnu and Wan Jinbao to put down the teacup, and then he casually took out a copper coin and put it on the coffee table, and said with a smile: "Master, if you want to find a satisfactory successor to the mantle, you need to pay more attention, this civil right is used as tea money, thank you!" ”

Like this old monk-like monk, Huang Dalang used to see a lot, and even several times when he went out on the street to do things for his master, he met the wild monk who wanted to force him to be an apprentice.

Seeing Huang Dalang leading Wan Chunnu sisters and brothers to turn around and leave, it took the old monk a while to suppress the tremor in his heart, looked at a copper coin on the coffee table, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and took it and held it in the palm of his hand and said: "This son, there is really a great wisdom root!" ”

With the old monk this matter to kill time, after turning around, I saw that there were a lot more carriages and horses in front of Anguo Temple, so Huang Dalang and Wan Chunnu sisters and brothers directly entered the temple, and after sending the incense money, they were led to the main hall in the temple by the monk to sit down.

Although the main hall is not big, but at this time the pilgrims who sat down were afraid that there were nearly a hundred, and then waited for about half an hour, and then heard a burst of Buddhist music sounded, a young monk wearing a robe and a Buddha crown came to the hall surrounded by many monks, and did not need to ask to know that this young monk was the legendary Zhikong Zen master.

Speaking of which, this Zhikong looks good, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose, thin lips and square jaws, plus his northern voice, as well as the colloquial way of Buddhist music, which also makes Huang Dalang listen to it with relish. This day's popular story roughly tells the story of three Buddhists, the routines are that someone does not believe in Buddhism and lives a sad life, and then wakes up and believes in Buddhism after living a happy life without shame, which also tells a lover because he does not believe in Buddhism and was beaten by the stick Mandarin Duck Lao Yan flew apart, and later believed in Buddhism and then various coincidences, and finally tied the knot under the guidance of the Buddha, which can be regarded as the scene of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15.
