"Bang!"

The wooden door of the pavilion was kicked open. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 In front of the head, a monk with a big waist and a round waist came in from the outside. Behind the monk was more than a dozen monks, all of whom were also carrying ring sticks.

When the monk who kicked in front of the door was the first to walk into the scripture pavilion. The monks who were quietly listening to the old monk Fuming's lecture in the scripture pavilion also looked at the more than ten uninvited guests who were not good. One of the young monks, who was sitting near Fuming, stood up with an angry face and said angrily to the monk who came in front of him: "How dare you be so presumptuous! This is where the Prayer Pavilion is! Why don't you kneel down with my teacher and go out?! ”

"Humph! Yao Yuan! I'm not going to leave today! What can you do to me?! ”

The leading monk lifted the ring stick in his hand and pointed at the young monk with the stick.

"You! Yao taming! Who gave you such guts?! Dare to talk nonsense in the Cabinet?! ”

The young monk, who was called Yao Yuan by the leading monk, was furious under the ridicule of the monk who he called Yao Tame.

"Who dares? I dare! I asked Yao Yuan to come! ”

Before Yao Yuan could say anything. A middle-aged monk who was less than forty years old walked slowly from behind the more than a dozen monks with sticks. The middle-aged monk also looked upright, but the slightly dark eyes under the silkworm eyebrows made him a little gloomy. Wearing a silk dress with sea clear gold piping, there are several beads of red sandalwood hanging around the neck. A hand stretched out from his sleeve still held an old ring ruler. With the appearance of this richly dressed middle-aged monk. The more than a dozen monks with sticks also folded their hands one by one and bowed to the middle-aged monks who walked by.

And next to the middle-aged monk, there is also a young monk who is more than thirty years old. Although the young monk looked ordinary, he was wearing a scarlet robe with a golden diamond pattern. In the right hand, he held a scroll, and walked into the pavilion with the middle-aged monk.

"Well, the clothes! Be! ...”

"It's a gift of virtue! Is it a scarlet robe given by the imperial court?! ”

"Did you come from there, from there?! ...”

The monks in the pavilion who had been surprised by this sudden intrusion all looked at the door with unkind faces. After seeing the middle-aged monk who appeared at the same time, and the scarlet-clothed monk who came with him. But they all had different expressions, and they all whispered in private.

Scarlet clothes, also known as scarlet clothes. Only those who have passed the upper, middle and lower tribal examinations of the sect can be recommended by the sect. It was sent to the imperial capital through the state capital, and the imperial court could only get this garment. It is a lower honor than purple clothes in the sect. In the sect, there is a saying that "one scarlet wins one right". That is to say, the person who is given the scarlet robe by the court is better than the temple of a temple. And the purple clothes that are higher than the scarlet clothes are only those who are highly respected in the sect, and the great virtues of the masters and monks have the opportunity to obtain.

Yao Yuan, a disciple of the Jing Pavilion who had a dispute with the leading monk Han Yao just now. But after seeing the middle-aged monk who walked into the pavilion and the scarlet-clothed monk who came with him, he couldn't help frowning. But in my heart, I secretly screamed that it was not good! The first Uncle Fu Xin in the law hall in this temple, I'm afraid that the person who comes is not good! He dared to call his subordinate monks to come to the door! Something big is coming! And... Behind Uncle Fu Xin was a young monk in a scarlet robe...

"You are Fuen Deming Temple, the first Fuming of the scripture hall?"

The scarlet-clothed monk who followed the middle-aged monk into the pavilion together. After he stood still, he looked at the old monk Fuming, who was still sitting cross-legged on the futon. The words were full of coldness, which inevitably caused the surrounding monks to stop and whisper in private.

"Amitabha! Yes, I'm Fuming. I don't know what this monk means? ”

Fu Ming folded his hands, chanted a Buddha name, and asked the scarlet-clothed monk calmly.

The scarlet-clothed monk said coldly: "Hmph! What you have done yourself, you yourself should be clear! This Fu En Deming Temple is a great monk of the previous generation of the temple, and he was also the elder of the sect who was the master of my ancestors. But I don't want him to be a rebel like you who doesn't respect the rules of the sect among his mantle disciples! Of course, there is also your unrepentant junior brother Ying Cobalt, who is also counted as one! ”

"Little junior brother?"

When Fu Ming heard the scarlet-clothed monk's words, he couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart. But I remembered that a few months ago, I sent my little junior brother on the road. So I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. But he also had a premonition, and it had been months since he saw it. I didn't hear the slightest bit about Master Jilian's request for the Dharma from the National Teacher. I'm already a little worried...

And listening to what this scarlet-clothed monk said, you don't need to think much about it to know that his coming must be related to the fact that he asked the little junior brother to carry the Dharma table with his own Dharma seal.

"Amitabha, I already know why the monks are here. It's just that I don't know my junior brother and he..."

"Humph! Should cobalt help the sect to rebel against Ji Lian in a vain attempt to misbehave! After being captured by the De Rings, he is still stubborn! It is a great sin to not repent and let go of evil thoughts, but to speak out and discuss the rules of the sect without shame! He was going to show his head to the public with a group of rebellious monks. But when it comes to being a disciple of the great monk of the sect, he is the same as the master of the previous national teacher and the same teacher! The matter has been extrajudicially gracious to the national teacher, and it is not a crime. Burn together with the evil head Jilian! So that the karmic fire can burn away their evil thoughts and achieve bliss in their past lives! ”

The scarlet-clothed monk said in an unkind tone, and as he spoke, he slowly unfolded the scroll he was dragging in his hand. As the scroll was slowly unfolded by the scarlet monk, the scarlet monk's expression instantly became solemn, and he recited the Buddha's horn loudly: "Amitabha! Patriarchal decree! ”

"Amitabha!"

"Amitabha!"

"Amitabha!"

All the monks in the pavilion, whether they are sutra monks or law monks, all knelt down one by one. Put your hands together and chant the Buddha's name, and slowly bow down to kowtow. The middle-aged monk standing next to the scarlet-clothed monk, and the old monk Fuming, who was sitting on the futon and still hadn't risen, also kowtowed to the scarlet-clothed monk who held the decree of the sect and the national teacher.

"Fu En Deming Temple, the first temple master of the Jing Pavilion! Attached to the sect against the tide and plotting evil! I wanted to be a serious crime, but I read it as the mantle of the great monk Songding. If you have a sense of repentance, you can be lenient but not forgiven, and you will be spared the first seat of the Deming Temple and the temple master and monk! By the disciples of the law hall of Fu En Deming Temple, send it to the temple to make a vow to repent! The national teacher is the main one! Amitabha! ”

After the scarlet-clothed monk read out the decree in his hand, all the monks in the pavilion slowly stood up after chanting the Buddha's name together. The monks who were not angry with the monks who suddenly broke into the Vinaya Hall before did not know what to do with different expressions.

Some quietly stayed away from the old monk Fuming, and some looked frightened and still did not recover from the sudden shocking news. Others remained unmoved, standing still and watching what was happening in front of them.

"Amitabha..."

Fu Ming, who slowly stood up from the ground, still looked indifferent. As if he didn't do it. And the scarlet monk is a little strange... It stands to reason that this old monk of Fuming has been burned to ashes after hearing himself say just now that the rebellious sect should respond to the cobalt law. It's time to react... It's nothing more than horror, grief, weeping... Or maybe it's for his rebellious brother to show a sad face... But this Fuming monk, how can he be like no one?

Although he was puzzled, he didn't want to delay too much. But he was a little impatient and said: "Since the decree of the national teacher and the master, you have also listened to it!" I ask you, are you convicted? Repentant? Just like the formula, when the scarlet-robed monk shouted and asked the old monk Fuming, he raised the decree in his hand.

"Amitabha, what is the sin of the old monk?"

The old monk Fuming folded his hands and replied lightly to the scarlet monk.

The scarlet-clothed monk obviously didn't expect that this old monk would refuse to admit his guilt? He had already prepared it, but the reprimand before he said it was also because of the words of the old monk Fuming, who was guilty of something, and swallowed it back into his stomach. And he was a little incredulous, his eyes widened and he looked at the old monk in front of him who was not afraid of death!

"Fuming! Didn't you hear the decree just now?! ”

The scarlet-clothed monk's face turned cold, so he was not kind to the old monk of Fuming.

Fu Ming was still as usual, still clasped his hands together, and said to the scarlet-clothed monk: "I have heard what the Ming decree said. ”

The scarlet-clothed monk was as heavy as water: "Hmph! Now that you understand! Why don't you confess your sins? Don't you know how to repent? Now you still have the heart to rebel against that sect?! Do you also want to be beheaded in public?! Let the precepts cut off your head with a precept knife, and hang it in this Fuen Deming Temple, so that the whole temple can look at the evil of rebellion in your temple?! ”

"Master!"

Yao Yuan, who was standing aside and frowning, couldn't help but call out to his teacher at this time. He didn't want to watch his mentor be killed like this! Although he knew that as long as his teacher recognized the right thing, he would have no idea of turning back! I also know the temperament of my teacher, but...

"Humph! Yao Yuan! Where do you have to speak here? Dare to interject rudely in front of the Commander! Come on! Take it off the shelf for me and go! Send the law hall to the temple law precepts! ”

The middle-aged monk standing next to the scarlet monk commanded sharply after Yao Yuan called out to Master.

Han Yaotao, a monk in the law hall who was instructed, immediately led the order forward, and another monk was about to use it, and the ring stick in his hand took Yao Yuan away. But before the two of them could make a move, Fu Ming recited a Buddha name again, bowed slightly to the middle-aged monk and the scarlet-clothed monk and said, "Amitabha! Please also ask Senior Brother Fu Xin and Master Zhi to forgive me for being reckless. Fuming is still the same sentence, what is the crime? Since I do not confess this sin, then I ask the Master to send it down. ”

"Division! Master! ”

"Hugh will say no more."

“....”

Yao Yuan, who wanted to say something again, finally turned his head and couldn't bear to look at it under the stop of his mentor Fuming. And the monk Han Yaotao and the other monk who wanted to take Yaoyuan with a ring stick frame just now also stopped at the sign of their first temple master, Fu Xin's shaking of his head.

Suddenly, there was silence in the pavilion, and only the gasps of the monks in the pavilion remained. And the scarlet-clothed monk who read out the decree became more and more ugly because Fu Ming refused to admit his guilt. Finally, after a moment of silence, he pointed at Fu Ming, who was standing in front of him, and said angrily: "Okay! Good! Very good! What a good disciple of the great monk Songding! Okay very! Fu Xin! Not yet.. Don't hurry up and take it for me! Take down this unrepentant rebel! ”

"No!"

After Fu Xin received the order, he personally came to Fu Ming with a ring ruler in his hand. He was followed by several monks from the main hall. Without waiting for Fu Xin to say anything more, Fu Ming walked to Fu Xin's side very cooperatively, and followed Fu Xin and the monks of the law hall who escorted him to the outside of the pavilion.
