Text Chapter 9 Separately
"Knock Knock"
The dull and distant bell rang through the mountains and forests. Three monks, one old and one light, and one young, slowly walked on the long path of stone steps covered with moss.
"Amitabha... Just send it here! Senior Brother Fuming, my little nephew will be entrusted to Senior Brother! I hope that the senior brother will teach me a lot! ”
Ying Cobalt clasped his hands together and recited a Buddha trumpet to the sixty-year-old monk at that time. After speaking, he smiled and looked at the little nephew who followed the old monk.
I saw today's pestle feet, but he also shaved his hair and kept his head. I also changed my body, and it was still bigger and better, and it didn't fit very well. But it's much better than when I was in my own temple.
The sixty-year-old monk standing next to the pestle foot was dressed in a rather old sewn clothes. But the pulp is very clean. On the neck of this old monk, there is also a string of ebony Buddha beads. A pair of old hands that are dry are also in the middle of the salute to him. He also folded his hands, his thumbs between the bead chains, and replied to Cobalt: "Little junior brother... What a difficult road ahead... But you have to do it yourself.."
Ying Cobalt bowed to the old monk Fuming and said, "Cobalt, I know." Thank you, brother. ”
Fu Ming's old face couldn't help but show a little melancholy. In the slight frown, he still corresponded to Cobalt and said: "Alas! Little junior brother... In fact, such a major event should have been accompanied by you and my brothers. Why..."
Ying Cobalt saw that the old monk Fuming was embarrassed, so he recited a Buddha call to him and said: "Amitabha, the Buddha has clouds, I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?" If Senior Brother can go with Cobalt, it would be great to help my Master Jilian. But the senior brother is very old, and he is sick and unable to travel far. But senior brother can rest assured! There are not a few monks in the sect who support Master Jilian. Even if you can't refute the leaks in the door, you can protect yourself. After all, in addition to Master Jilian, there are also Master Puyun of Jincheng Hongyun Temple and Master Shengjing of Jingsui Temple. This time, I will definitely make the national teacher and master give in! ”
Ying Cobalt's expression was also extremely firm when he spoke. There was a flash of longing and excitement in his eyes. Looking at Ying Cobalt's expression, Fu Ming frowned and shook his head slightly: "Alas! Although I am Master Jilian, I have the heart to eliminate the evils of the sect. It was supported by many monks in the door. There are also two masters in the door, Puyun and Shengxun... But..."
"Senior brother, don't worry! This sect is about the shortcomings of women, since I opened the door of the sect for hundreds of years, but whenever there is a dispute between the heirs of the temple and the temple, it is mostly due to its disaster! It's like... Like my poor nephew! How is he inferior to my second brother's other nephew? Hum! It's just that she was not born to that woman, so she didn't become the heir of the law and inherited the position of the temple of her family!
If I can't take my poor nephew from my heartless home when I return to my monastery this time. I'm afraid that sooner or later I will be harmed by that vicious woman! This is all the failure of the monasteries of my sect to choose the heir of the law! A woman's interference in the selection of the heirs of the sect and the temple is the foundation of the troubled sect! It is necessary to put an end to it!
Master Ji Lian is planning for my sect, and entering the country is the master of virtue, saying that women will succeed in trouble. Let the sect set up the rule that women must not interfere with the establishment of heirs and succession, and it also makes our sect monasteries less humane and miserable! Cobalt, self-deprived of the life of the master! I have visited the thirteen courtyards of this county, and they all heard that my master is a sect plan, and there are many people who support my master! It also got the Jiuyuan Temple and the temple master, and the joint name of the law table was imprinted. Except for the way the master sent me, the other brothers have also gained! The monks of all monasteries have left their own Dharma seals on the joint Dharma table, could it be that the national teacher and the master can still reject the teacher's request after reading these joint Dharma tables? ”
"Amitabha... Little junior brother... Although the Guru is highly respected in my sect. But don't forget, the master of the sect is the master of our country's teacher. The lama is so co-named with the monasteries in the counties of the state, I'm afraid it is... It will be disliked by our teacher..."
Fu Ming expressed his worries not without worry.
"Senior brother, what are you talking about?! Could it be that Senior Brother regrets leaving a mark on Senior Brother's Dharma table?! If the senior brother is afraid of being involved, the junior brother will not be embarrassed! Erase the seal of the senior brother from the watch! I'll take my nephew away! ”
Ying Cobalt heard Fu Ming's worries, but he couldn't help frowning. His face gradually turned cold.
"Amitabha! Little junior brother... Back then, you left your own monastery and came to study the Fa under Master. Master told you that it was easy to fold just now, but your temperament has not changed at all. Senior brother is just worried about the master, so you are so angry... Alas! You're a kid... I still have to change it! ”
Fu Ming saw that Ying Cobalt's face was wrong, but he smiled bitterly and said to this master, the last closed-door disciple of his master. I remembered the situation when this little junior brother, who was only more than ten years old, came to the temple for the first time. But it's really like a world away. Now, more than ten years have passed... After all, Master has been dead for many years.
"Amitabha! What the senior brother taught! How?. Cobalt's temperament, I'm afraid I can't change it for a lifetime. Cobalt was anxious just now, and I hope that the senior brother will not blame him. ”
Ying Cobalt's face was a little ashamed, and he put his hands together and recited a Buddha name, and apologized to Fuming.
"Huh! How can there be a reason for a senior brother to be angry with a junior brother? You and I are brothers in the same sect, how can we see each other like this today? Senior brother knows your ambitions and what you think. But Senior Brother still has to say something to you, you don't have to think Senior Brother is talking too much. ”
Fu Ming bowed slightly to Ying Cobalt, who was walking beside him, as he spoke.
Ying Cobalt hurriedly gave way, and then folded his hands and said, "Amitabha! What is this doing, brother? Can it not be broken? The senior brother has words and teachings, saying that it is with cobalt! Cobalt, listen to you! ”
Ying Cobalt said and then turned to Fuming again, and bowed with his hands together to show his respect.
Fu Ming also folded his hands and saluted him and said, "Amitabha, what I want to say is... Don't force everything, there will always be times when things go well and things don't go well. If it doesn't go well, don't go against it, and don't go too far, that's what I want to say to you. ”
"Amitabha, Cobalt has been taught!"
Ying Cobalt folded his hands together, and after listening to what Fu Ming said very carefully, he recited a Buddha name and replied to him.
Fu Ming looked at the little junior brother in front of him, who was strong in blood. But I was a little helpless in my heart! After all, although his junior brother is talented and learned, he also has a lot of insight into the Buddhism of this sect. But this temperament is too impatient and eager! If it weren't for his impatient nature and listening to what Master said... Nowadays, I can't say that I can get a higher monk's position. Pity...
"Senior Brother Fuming... Senior Brother Fuyu, he..."
After Ying Cobalt finished replying to the old monk Fuming, he said with a somewhat complicated look on his face. But it was when he took his nephew to the Fuen Deming Temple where he had traveled. In the face of the former brother, the current temple is Fuyu. After presenting the Dharma table entrusted by Master Jilian and saying that Master Jilian asked for the Dharma for the sect, although Senior Brother Fuyu also agreed greatly, when he asked him to press the Dharma seal on the Dharma table, he politely refused himself.... And Senior Brother Fuming, who is the first temple master in the temple's scripture hall, didn't say a word, even if he pressed his Dharma seal on the Dharma table. For the two senior brothers, one is polite and the other is decisive, but he is in his heart...
"Amitabha, little junior brother... You Fuyu Senior Brother also has his own difficulties. After all, this Fuen Deming Temple was passed on by your senior brother Fuyu from his father and monk, you and my teacher. Although he has the same heart as you and me, he supports Master Ji Lian to ask for the Dharma for the sect. But there are too many taboos behind him...
You and I are all out of the same class, and we are both sitting down with our teachers to listen to the Fa. I also know the master's sons, your other senior brothers. I have thoughts about your senior brother Fuyu's election as the heir of the law and the inheritance of the temple. If it weren't for the fact that when the master passed away, he ordered me to witness with the elders of the monks. I have been the first in the temple for many years, and I have a slight name in the temple to tune from it. I'm afraid that after the death of the master, this blessed Deming Temple will not be able to live in peace because of the righteousness of the temple.
Although Master's Dharma is profound. He has also been a teacher of the previous generation of national teachers and masters. But the matter of this door is... Alas! ”
Fu Ming said that he couldn't help but show a touch of embarrassment and even a touch of sadness on his old face.
Ying Cobalt was also silent after listening to what the old monk Fuming said. Brother Fuming is right... The Teacher's Dharma is profound! He used to be the karma teacher of the previous generation of national teachers and masters, and taught the national teachers and masters of the great sect / law. After three generations of national teachers, he is also a highly prestigious patriarch in the sect. If it weren't for the teacher's repeated resignations, the national teacher would have conferred on him the title of guru. I'm afraid that when the teacher dies, it's not just this, it's the temple of Fuen Deming Temple.
But the teacher is not perfect... He also knew that his sons and brothers coveted the position of heir. Among them, the two brothers of the mother's family, who are quite powerful, Fu Xin and Fu Zhen, are especially felt. And these two senior brothers are also quite talented, and there are many supporters in the temple who are not comparable.
It's just that in the end, what the teacher hopes for is not the two senior brothers Fu Xin and Fu Zhen. On the contrary, it was a slightly wooden, taciturn senior brother Fuyu, who inherited the heir of the law passed on by the teacher, so that after the death of the teacher, he became the temple of this blessed Deming Temple.
If it is said that Senior Brother Fuyu is talented, although it is not as good as the two senior brothers of Fuxin and Fuzhen. But it is fair, and it is not bad to keep the temple right. Over the years, Fufu Endeming Temple has not made any major mistakes under its leadership.
But the two brothers of Fu Xin and Fu Xin, who have not succeeded to the position of the temple. Although he accepted it on the surface, he was divided into the first temple master of the Law Hall and the Jing Hall. I can imagine that I understand the two of them according to myself... Surely he will not be convinced, Senior Brother Fuyu has done the right position in this temple. I am afraid that Senior Brother Fuming, who has won the trust of his teacher, has helped Senior Brother Fuyu a lot, so that Fuen Deming Temple is still peaceful.
"Senior Brother Fuming~Cobalt, I've never heard you complain to Master~"
Ying Cobalt clasped his hands together and said to Fuming, who still looked embarrassed.
"Uh... This.. Hahaha! Be! Be! It's the senior brother who lost his words! Gaffes! ”
Fu Ming mentioned it by Ying Cobalt, and then realized that he had really made a mistake just now. Now that the teacher has passed away for many years, he even said that the teacher is not here in front of the little junior brother today. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but laugh at Cobalt.
"Amitabha, Senior Brother Fuming. Cobalt, here it goes. ”
"Amitabha, little junior brother walk slowly, take care of yourself all the way."
When Ying Cobalt said goodbye to Fuming and was about to leave, he squatted down before leaving. smiled at his nephew who was still dazed: "Clubfoot.. Learn the Dharma from Master. Wait for the third uncle to finish his work, and then come to see you. ”
Although he wanted to say something to the third uncle, he didn't know what to say. So he could only stare at a pair of big eyes, watching the third uncle gently caress his little head that had just been shaved, and turned away with a smile.
"Uncle..."
