Section 14 Epiphany
Mo Yao and Ye Lan talked and laughed casually, and there was a lot of disrespect for Buddhism in their words, but they didn't expect that a monk would jump out and reprimand. If this fat monk scolds a few stinky girls and wild boys, Mo Yao knows that he is rude first, so he will only laugh it off, and he will not bother with this fat monk, but this fat monk is a "little mongrel". These three words didn't sound anything in Ye Lan's ears, but when Mo Yao and Su Wan heard it, one of them immediately looked angry, and the other had a sad face, obviously arousing their hearts.
Mo Yao often calls herself a fatherless and motherless wild girl on weekdays, but she can say this herself, if it is said by others, it will touch her scales. But for those whose parents died early, they are most taboo for others to insult their parents, Mo Yao's father died early, her mother was nowhere to be found, and Su Wan's parents were killed tragically by the enemy, the two of them listened to the fat monk scolding a "little mongrel", thinking of the deep kindness of their parents, they both felt self-harming in their hearts, Mo Yao's face sank, and he snorted heavily, and he was already really angry.
Just looking at the body and gait of this fat monk, you can see that he is an ordinary monk who does not know the Tao at all, even if Mo Yao is annoyed that he is not inferior, but he will not embarrass a mortal who has no cultivation at all. Although she was not angry in her heart, she only clenched her fists and glared at the monk a few times.
She cast a trick on her face, this fat monk was mortal with the naked eye, unable to see through the spell, not only could she not see Mo Yao's true face, but she couldn't even detect the edge in her eyes. After he saw that he was angry, the three of them stopped talking, obviously afraid of his fat Buddha's King Kong angry eyes, and now he was even more bold, his palm leaned forward, reached out and grabbed Ye Lan's left wrist, and said loudly: "You have spoken disrespectfully in Daning Temple, but you can't just say that, let's go, follow me into the temple to find the Bodhisattvas of Daning Temple to repent of their sins!"
His grasp was originally aimed at Mo Yao, but halfway through his hand, he suddenly thought that men and women could not kiss, he was a monk, and it was even more indecent to go out to catch the arm of a young woman, and it was with this grasp that he turned halfway and landed on Ye Lan's wrist.
Ye Lan let him grab his wrist, took a breath of cool air and said: "This Buddha, can you do it lightly? ”
This monk is the abbot of a small temple in Huayang City, he only cultivates Buddhism in his life, and the magic power of Buddhism is not at all, this time he came to Daning Temple to worship the Buddha, and he has not yet entered the temple, but he met three nonsense ghosts. He was angry with the three of them and said wildly, this grip was really not light, at this time, Ye Lan screamed in pain, and secretly thought that he was born with divine power, but don't really hurt this future life, he immediately collected a little bit of the strength in his hand, and said: "I only know that I am afraid at this time, but it is too late." You say such things in the Buddha's gate, the sin is not small, so follow me into the temple, sincerely repent in front of the statue of the Buddha, the Bodhisattvas of Daning Temple are compassionate, maybe it will not be too difficult for you. ”
Ye Lan thought that he and Mo Yao had an appointment with the righteous monk, and they were going to go to Daning Temple to find him, but this fat monk was reckless, since he wanted to pull himself into Daning Temple to comment, the three of them might as well go with him, and tease this monk by the way.
Although this fat monk doesn't know Taoism, he has obviously practiced martial arts for several years, and he is fat, so he really has a bit of brute strength. He pulled Ye Lan with one hand, and leaned forward with the other hand, parting the crowded crowd, and striding forward, only for a while, he got out of the square, and then walked up the mountain road to the main hall of Daning Temple.
Although Daning Temple is a sect of cultivation, but the door can not help but come to burn incense and worship, and most of the people in the Holy Empire believe in Buddhism, so the perennial incense in the temple is prosperous, and good men and women come and go endlessly. Such noisy people, in the monk's practice is very unfavorable, but if the people who come to worship are turned away, and the purpose of opening the door of the Buddha's door is not in line, it is because Daning Temple has always divided the temple into the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, the outer courtyard is located at the foot of the Yunchui Peak near the mountain, in the middle of which the large hall is built, the Buddha statue in the hall is golden, extremely solemn and majestic things, the inner courtyard is located in the mountain behind the Yunchui Peak, which is used for the monks of the temple to cultivate, and does not accept ordinary pilgrims. The monks in the temple take turns to be on duty in the outer courtyard to promote the Dharma, and when they are not on duty, they will chant and practice the Dharma in the inner courtyard of the back mountain, so as to enjoy tranquility.
The fat monk pulled Ye Lan, took three steps and did two steps, and after a while, he had already walked to the front of the main hall of Daning Temple. There is a tripod in the middle of the front of the hall, and there are three giant incense sticks in the tripod, which are the thickness of an adult's arm, and constantly emit a faint smoke. There are two young monks standing next to the big ding, one is holding a wooden fish, slowly tapping on the ground, and the other is holding a string of prayer beads, his eyes are lowered, his fingers are gently plucking the prayers, looking at the ordinary people who are bowing and praying on the ground, and the Buddha name is gently recited in his mouth.
The fat monk saw the image of the two monks, and knew that the two were the monks of the Daning Temple, not the ordinary monks who came to the Daning Temple to worship like themselves. ”
He saw that the young monk was very tender-faced, and he was already in his fifties, so he didn't want to call himself a junior brother, but when he thought that the monk had a good face, he couldn't tell the age by looking at his face, maybe the young monk was hundreds of years old, and he thought in his heart, and this senior brother didn't feel awkward when he called out.
The monk of the rosary raised his face, and saw a fat monk in a robe standing on the ground like a red wall, behind the red wall, followed by three people, two men and one woman, the woman in the yellow shirt has bright eyes and bright teeth, and looks really handsome, the man in blue is the dragon and phoenix among the people, the jade tree is in the wind, and the woman in green clothes is standing in front of the two, a face looks plain, not the slightest bit of brilliance, the blue man has a slight pain on his face, one arm is stretched forward, and his wrist is being held tightly by the fat monk who called Fan.
As soon as the young monk saw the face of this blue-robed son, he became close, and when he saw that he had fallen into the hands of mortals, he couldn't help frowning, and said: "This master, my Daning Temple has opened the door of convenience, and the person who comes is a guest, and has always treated him with courtesy, I don't know how this son offended the abbot and caused the abbot to be ignorant?"
When he heard the meaning of the monk's question, he couldn't help but be slightly angry, and said secretly: "You little monk judge people by his appearance, and when he sees that this little monk is handsome, he thinks that he is not a bad person.
It's just that Daning Temple is extremely respected in the status of the Holy Empire, and if he comes to worship thousands of miles away, he naturally does not dare to offend the monks of Daning Temple in words, so he let go of Ye Lan's wrist at the moment, and said to him: "These three people slandered the Buddha at the foot of the mountain, which insulted the majesty of Daning Temple, and asked the senior brother to be punished in detail." ”
The monk sighed and asked, "What kind of slander did he say?"
Fan said: "Those words, I said before the golden body of the Buddha outside this hall, it is inevitably disrespectful, in short, these three people are by no means good, please."
Senior brother investigates carefully. ”
The young monk said: "The monks cultivate their hearts and forbearance, don't say a few disrespectful words to others, then people will beat and scold, we should also try our best to be patient, our Daning Temple is not a royal government, how can we be arrested and questioned in the future because of a few words from others......?
Hearing the words of this monk, his heart was even more angry, and he didn't care about the monk's mana at the moment, and said loudly: "Your Daning Temple is my sacred national temple, and the gains and losses of honor and disgrace are all related to the face of my sacred dynasty and even the entire Buddhist sect, not just your Daning Temple. If everyone can come to Daning Temple to slander the Buddha without being punished, how can I save face as a Buddha?"
The monk smiled and said lightly: "What about Rong? What about humiliation? It's just a few words, unintentionally coming out and going with the wind, what do we gain? What can we lose? This body is still empty, what is the use of face?"
As the abbot of Longyin Affairs, usually the royal is very strict, the monks of Longyin Temple all abide by the precepts, a little lax, will be severely punished, these many years of all words out of the law, no one dares to say half a word to him, ordinary will be majestic face very seriously, at this time listen to the monk's words, only to feel the golden light flashed in front of him, it seems that a stubborn stone above the head was cut open by the sword, suddenly there is a sense of empowerment, he laughed three times, bowed to the monk, said: "My Buddha is true, good, good!"
Seeing that he was leaving, the monk smiled slightly and nodded, with a hint of approval, but Ye Lan frowned and asked, "Where is the great monk going?"
Li Fan smiled: "Naturally, where did you go back and forth?" ”
Ye Lan said: "You came thousands of miles to worship, how did you come to Daning Temple, you didn't even enter the main hall, and you didn't burn incense, so you went back?"
Fan said: "This heart is stubborn, thousands of miles of asceticism is useless, enlightened Zen machine, why a stick of incense before the Buddha?"
The young monk saw Fan Yuan, his eyes showed a look of relief, and then he saluted Ye Lan, and said loudly: "The master has visited, our temple is full of splendor, and it is noisy here, and the three of you are invited to follow me to the inner courtyard of the back mountain." ”
As a cultivator, there is a difference between his bearing and the ordinary, this young monk can see that the three of them are monks, it is not surprising, Mo Yao, as a disciple of Taixu, came to Daning Temple, which is also a great sect of righteousness, but he didn't dare to take it seriously, so he blessed the monk and said: "Mo Yao, a disciple of Elder Xiao of Tianxu Peak of Taixu Gate, has seen the master. ”
The monk's face flashed with surprise, and then he saluted the three of them and said, "It turns out that he is too vain and disrespectful. Come with me, three. As he spoke, he turned around and led the way, and asked Mo Yao again: "I don't know if your two companions have the surnames of their big names, but are they also disciples of Taixu?"
Ye Lan had already realized in his heart that he was a disciple of Taixu, but after all, he had never formally apprenticed, listening to this monk's question, if he nodded and agreed, he would inevitably be suspected of pretending to be a famous disciple, but if he denied it, he was afraid that Mo Yao would be unhappy, and when he was hesitating, he heard Mo Yao pointing at Su Wan and saying: "This is my junior sister Su Wan, as for this Ye Lan Ye Gongzi, he is a casual cultivator from overseas, and he can be regarded as half a disciple of Taixu, but he has not officially apprenticed to the teacher." I don't know what to call the name of the master?"
