Chapter 41: Sit Upside Down
was blocked by Hamo, and everyone in Jingfu was displeased.
I think this monk is really annoying.
Like a fly buzzing around people.
However, after all, the other party is a monk, and I heard Master Guilin say that this person is proficient in Buddhism, and now even the monks in the Garan Temple can't debate with him, so the people in Jingfu did not step forward to push him aside, nor did they walk away.
Old Madam Jing stopped.
Because she believes in Buddhism, she has always maintained a trace of respect for the monks.
Jiang Long was very interested, wanting to see what story this exotic monk could tell and persuade himself to become a monk and believe in Buddhism.
The treasure bottle and the jade hairpin were glaring at Hamour angrily, and if they could do it, they would have stepped forward to scratch Hamour's face.
I actually want to persuade my little master to become a monk!
It's disgusting!
Lin Ya was a little worried.
Delis remembered something, thoughtfully.
If Jiang Long became a monk, or was said to want to lead the Qing cultivation and become a lay disciple of Buddhism, it would be a great thing for her.
"On a thousand-meter-high mountain in Saigon, there is a monk who has been practicing Buddhism sincerely for decades, and when he was young, this monk had traveled all over the world to find the footprints of the Buddha.
Now that the monk is already old and decrepit, he feels that time is running out, so he wants to choose a high-ranking disciple with outstanding qualifications who can inherit his mantle before he dies.
The prestige of the monks is mighty, and after the news is released, there are many people who come to apprentice.
However, in the face of many Buddhist disciples who came to apprentice, the senior monks did not immediately put out the questions for examination screening.
Just let everyone work together to build a Buddha statue in the hall of the temple.
This Buddha statue is two feet high, golden throughout, and exudes Buddha light, but it is tilted sideways, and it is facing away from the gate of the temple.
Many disciples were puzzled.
At this time, the eminent monk opened his mouth to ask, asking why the Buddha sat upside down? ”
After that, Harvard looked at Jiang Long with a smile and an inquiring meaning in his eyes.
At the same time, there is also a smug look.
Hamour has always prided himself on being shrewd, eloquent, and wealthy.
He believes that persuading people to become monks must not be too rigid, nor can they always talk about karma, and they can ascend to bliss after death.
Before arousing the curiosity and interest of the other party, those dry words are not convincing.
Unless the other party is emotional, ups and downs, and has some understanding, or it is when the nerves are very fragile, it is difficult for general persuasion to be effective.
So at this time, he persuaded him to tell the story first, wanting to arouse Jiang Long's interest first, and then put forward a rather interesting and suspenseful question at the end, leaving a buckle for Jiang Long to think about and guess, and then think hard and ask again.
As long as there is interaction, there is no fear that Jiang Long will be able to escape from the palm of his hand in the future.
Master Guilin also heard it on the side, frowned and thought about it, and suddenly put his hands together and said a Buddha name.
Although he doesn't like Hamor's ambitions, Master Guilin also has to admit that Hamo is well-informed and knowledgeable.
In his early years, his senior brother Master Guichen also persuaded him to travel down the mountain to broaden his horizons.
But he is stubborn, thinking that it is right to stay away from the world and concentrate on pure cultivation in the temple.
In the past, he had a tendon and admitted the reason of death, even if he was persuaded by the senior brother of Guichen, he never changed, and sometimes even prejudiced that the senior brother went down the mountain just to be able to make a false name, until now when he saw Hama talking eloquently, he knew the importance of traveling in all directions and the experience of red dust.
It's just that he is already eighty years old this year, and if he wants to change it, I'm afraid it's impossible.
Only then did he say a long Buddha horn and sighed deeply.
Mrs. Jing was also attracted by this story, and for a while she was thinking about the answer, and she forgot to guard against Hama trying to persuade her precious grandson to become a monk.
It's not that she has soft ears and is not calm enough, but she really believes in Buddhism.
People are always more likely to be curious and concerned about the things they care about and are interested in.
For example, there are many people who only have one child, and the child is the root of life, but recently the child will often bump and bump, either walking and wrestling or suffering a small injury from time to time, so the parents will be suspicious, if there is a Taoist priest or monk at this time said that your child has recently had a disaster, most of the parents will believe it.
For this reason, many parents have been cheated out of a lot of money.
This kind of thing happens often, ask around, the people who are fooled are not one or two.
Dai Lisi and Lin Ya are also a little curious about this story, wondering, is there a young monk who can answer?
The jade hairpin and the treasure bottle are meditating, and from time to time they will knock on their heads, if they can come up with it, it will not be a big deal, and then their young master will not be attracted by Hamo's words.
At this time, the guards of Jingfu whispered to each other to see who guessed the answer.
But obviously, this answer is not so easy to guess.
Mother Yao saw that Mrs. Jing also showed a thoughtful look, and she was a little anxious, she didn't want her little young master to be deceived by the big monk in front of her, but when she looked at Jiang Long, she found that Jiang Long had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
How to say it, such a smile Yao's mother had never seen on Jiang Long's face.
Confidence, that's absolutely, no, it's an extremely confident smile!
Yao's mother was stunned for a while.
My little master has been confident since he was a child?
The first person to notice Jiang Long's confident smile was not Mother Yao, but Master Hama who had been paying attention to Jiang Long.
He didn't know Jiang Long, he didn't know that his previous original personality was cowardly, and his wisdom was just ordinary.
Seeing Jiang Long's confidence, there was a little hair in his heart.
Could this young boy know the answer to the question of the monk in the story?
No way!
In the past few days, Hama has used this question to stump the monks in the entire Garan Temple.
"Grandma, the weather is sunny today, and my grandson wants to walk around the temple and observe and pay homage to our Daqi Protector Temple." Jiang Long stepped forward and grabbed one of Mrs. Jing's elbows, and said with a smile.
Mrs. Jing came back to her senses, and then realized that she had been abducted by Hamo, and couldn't help but smile helplessly.
Then he gently patted the back of Jiang Long's hand and advised: "It's windy on the mountain, don't stay for a long time, otherwise you will get sick again, and after playing for a while, you will go down the mountain and take the carriage back home, you know?" ”
"My grandson knows."
Jiang Long helped Mrs. Jing and rubbed shoulders with Ha.
Hamo was a little dumbfounded, couldn't such a good story of his own arouse the interest of the young man in front of him?
When he came back to his senses, Jiang Long had already walked to the gate of the courtyard.
He was about to ask out loud, but the voice of the young man with his back to Lang Lang had already reached his ears, "Fortunately, the younger generation did not go to that mountain to apprentice, otherwise wouldn't he have been chosen by the senior monk to become a monk who can't even eat meat?"
Isn't it bitter if there is no meat to eat? ”
As he spoke, Jiang Long also showed a distressed look.
The treasure bottle walking behind the side saw this, and just giggled.
"Can you really guess the answer?"
When Hamor saw that the people were about to go out of the courtyard, he asked aloud if he did not believe in evil.
"Sigh sentient beings refuse to turn back!"
Jiang Long leaned over and waved his hand gently.
As soon as these words came out, except for the two exotic monks, Hama and Mida, the rest of the people suddenly showed a look of sudden realization.
Ask why the Buddha sat upside down?
Sigh that the beings refuse to turn back!
Master Guilin recited it silently in his mouth, and finally said a long Buddha call, "Amitabha! ”
Hamour looked sluggish, obviously unable to imagine that Jiang Long could really say the answer.
Mida showed a fierce look on his face, staring at Jiang Long's back as he walked away, his eyes full of murderous intent.
He and Hama were ordered by the king to come to Daqi to preach, and it had been very smooth before, even among the many monks of the Jialan Temple, only Master Guilin was the only one who debated with them, but he couldn't win the two, but now a young man can actually tell the answer to the story.
And this story is one of the few monks they are embarrassed by, with the highest level.
If this young man doesn't show up in the future, it will be fine, but if he really comes to debate with the two, won't it ruin the big things for the two of them?
So Mida made up his mind, if Jiang Long dared to run to make trouble again, he would definitely be ruthless, and he would be as fast as possible.
The figures of the people in Jingfu walked away, and the centurion in the small courtyard who had been instructed by Cheng Wu ordered his subordinates to release the foreign envoys who had been locked up before.
and told them not to go to the trouble of the people in Jingfu, otherwise don't blame the forbidden army for being polite.
Naturally, these envoys were in a clamour, especially the foreign envoy who had injured his entourage.
However, jumping feet to jumping feet, this envoy did not catch up in the end.
Judging from the attitude of the forbidden army in handling things, it is obviously biased towards the people of Jingfu.
When the envoys were noisy, Xiao Jing, who had led many officials out of the back door after returning to the small courtyard after persuading Cheng Wu before, came back with many officials at this time, he didn't want to provoke the Jing Mansion, but in the same way, he didn't want to have anything to do with the Jing family, so he simply hid out.
Among the many officials, there was a young official who was still in a trance at this time, and fell on the side of Zuihou.
It was the one who was sprayed with blood all over his face before, but this poor young official had not long been in office, and he was a civil official of the Ministry of Rites, since he was a child, he only knew how to read poetry and books hard, he had never fought, and he had not even killed a chicken, and he was splashed with human blood coldly, so he was naturally frightened, and he still did not recover at this time.
Walking into the small courtyard, Xiao Jing began to comfort the envoys of various countries with kind words.
And sent someone to carry the wounded entourage down the mountain and go to the infirmary to heal his wounds.
The old lady of Xian Zhan left no room in her words, and did not treat these foreigners as human beings at all, so these envoys naturally would not give up, but they also knew that it was useless to shout a few times in front of Xiao Jing, they were all quiet, and they only planned to go to the Jinluan Palace to ask the emperor for an explanation after they went back.
When the small courtyard calmed down again, Xiao Jing found that at some point, a couplet was hung in front of Master Guichen's body.
I couldn't help but be a little unhappy, and asked with a calm face: "Master Guilin, the official saw that the layout of this mourning hall was too simple, and wanted to give Master Guichen a couplet.
If you really don't need it, the official will give up.
But why is it now hanging up the elegiac couplet mentioned by others, don't you think that this official is shallow and can't write haode elegiac couplet? ”
Hearing Xiao Jing's words, everyone looked at the extra couplet.
Someone read it out.
The first half of the sentence is surprising, such a couplet dares to hang on the mourning hall of Master Guichen?
Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed in front of the world?
As soon as the second half of the sentence came out, all of them were firmly remembered in the bottom of their hearts.
And secretly praised, good union!
Xiao Jing also finished reading it at this time, and couldn't help blushing a little, this couplet is indeed new, even if he does it himself, it will not be stronger than one and a half points.
So some people curiously asked who made this elegiac couplet.
"The little son of Jingfu, made by Jingjianglong." Master Guilin's voice landed, and all the foreign envoys changed their faces one after another.
Especially one of the tall, blue-eyed young men snorted heavily.
and secretly gestured to one of the servants beside him.
The servant took advantage of the fact that everyone was attracted by the unconventional couplet, and quietly slipped out of the small courtyard.
