Chapter 51 Buddhism is the way to guide people to goodness
Regardless of the warning in Tang Sanzang's eyes, he returned to being a well-behaved monkey again.
That Elder Jin Chi's heart was tumbling violently at this moment.
The treasure given by Master Guanyin?
Really?
How is it possible, how can Master Guanyin really pay attention to a mortal and give the treasure himself?
Fake, it must be fake news, no one knows Guanyin better than Lao Gao!
Lao Ke has been worshipping the "Guanyin Monastery" for more than 260 years since he was a child, and he has been serving at the side of Guanyin Master every day, how can there be any monks who know Guanyin Master better than Lao Gu?
Fake, it must be fake, the words of a mountain monkey can't be believed!
It's just that this precious robe...... But it's not fake......
Recalling the colorful qi treasure light that filled the hall just now, Elder Jin Chi's unassuming heart was beating violently.
This kind of treasure, since the sage dwells there, is worn by the old man day and night, and serves at the side of Guanyin Master, so that Guanyin Master's incense is continuous and prosperous!
As soon as he thought of this, Elder Jin Chi's expression changed, and he returned to his old and dignified state again, and said apologetically.
"The old man of Jinchi is dizzy, but he doesn't know that the holy monk is coming, and he is guilty of sin, and he asks the holy monk of Sanzang not to mind."
"Don't deserve, don't ......"
Tang Sanzang guessed Elder Jin Chi's abacus, and immediately did not give Elder Jin Chi a chance to open his mouth, and said humbly. "It's the poor monk who bothered your temple, if it's late today, the poor monk will leave for the time being, and come back another day to bother."
"Huh?" Elder Jin Chi was startled, stunned for a moment, and asked urgently. "The Holy Monk of Sanzang is leaving?"
Tang Sanzang clasped his hands together and nodded. "Yes, this poor monk is really too stubborn, I'm afraid that it will disturb your practice, and it is really inconvenient to stay here for a long time, please forgive me."
If it was usual, Elder Jin Chi didn't care about Tang Sanzang's stay at all, but now that Elder Jin Chi was concerned about the brocade robe, how could he be willing to let Tang Sanzang leave?
Immediately, Elder Jin Chi tried almost to persuade Tang Sanzang to stay.
"Sanzang Holy Monk, why are you so anxious? The old man also wants to spend the night discussing Buddhism and debating Zen with the holy monks tonight. ”
"If it's late today, there are also good wings in the Zen monastery where you can stay, and the holy monks of Sanzang may wish to rest for a night and set off again tomorrow morning."
"The holy monks of Sanzang don't know that there are not only fierce beasts in the wilderness here, but more importantly, it is said that there are many monsters entrenched not far away, and it is particularly dangerous to walk at night......
With these words, Elder Jin Chi's tone was full of worry, as if he was deeply afraid that Tang Sanzang would be in danger.
"This matter, don't bother with the host of Jinchi, the poor monk still has some ability, but the poor monk thinks of the suffering of all beings, and doesn't want those creatures to give their lives in vain, but I hope those fierce beasts and monsters don't make mistakes."
After saying this, Tang Sanzang, who secretly understood the threat in Elder Jinchi's words, didn't say anything more, and after announcing the Buddha's name, regardless of Elder Jinchi and other monks, he left with the monkey and the white dragon horse.
After leaving the Guanyin Monastery, the monkey asked with some confusion. "Master, that Guanyin Monastery is indeed a good place to stay, why did you leave?"
"It's not because of you who are a monkey, otherwise the teacher would have lived in the Guanyin Monastery." The road near the Guanyin Monastery was quite smooth, so Tang Sanzang did not get on the horse, and continued to walk westward, teaching the way.
"Why?"
"You must know that wealth is not exposed, that Elder Jinchi is a vain and greedy person, you deliberately revealed treasures such as Jinlan's robe, isn't it self-inflicted?"
"Hey......" said the monkey disdainfully. Why should the master worry about this matter, I don't think those ordinary people will be able to hurt half of the master's cold hair, and besides, if they really have any evil thoughts, don't blame my old grandson for being ruthless. ”
"Alas......" Tang Sanzang paused suddenly, turned around, stretched out his hand to stroke the top of the monkey's head, and said with a hint of pampering and kindness on his face.
"Wukong, you are wrong in thinking like this, whether it is a human, a ghost, a god or a Buddha, there are seven emotions and six desires, and greed is one of them."
"Although if those monks who are obsessed with profit want to plot misdeeds, they will die, and they are also to blame themselves and blame others, but this does not mean that this kind of deliberately attracting the greed of others is correct......
Speaking of this, Tang Sanzang looked at the monkey and said softly. "Need-know, desire...... It is the most untested, tempting the greed of others, and this practice is no different from the devil. ”
"Buddhism should lead people to goodness, and it is not such a deliberate attempt to tempt others to their desires and make them fall."
While saying these words, Tang Sanzang also lightly knocked on the monkey's head five times, and then turned around again and walked west.
Monkey...... Vaguely, I understood something......
Five hundred years ago, was my grandson seduced?
Just as the monkey fell into deep thought, Tang Sanzang's voice once again faintly entered the monkey's ears.
"Wukong, what are you still doing? If it's getting late today, why don't you quickly find a suitable place for the teacher to sleep? ”
"Yes, Master!"
……
On the other side, inside the Guanyin Zen Temple, watching Tang Sanzang's figure disappear into the setting sun from a distance, Elder Jinchi glanced at a few henchmen like frost and returned to the wing.
"...... Uproar"
After one of his henchmen, Monk Guangzhi, closed the door, Elder Jin Chi immediately cried bitterly.
"It's a pity...... Alas......"
"Such a treasure as a brocade robe fell into the hands of a wandering monk, and it ruined the heavens, and the heavens were ......."
"Unexpectedly, the old man is two hundred and seventy years old this year, and he is about to do the age of the ancients, but he has seen such a sad thing, if this robe is draped on the old man's body, it will surely make countless ignorant mortals sprout the heart of the Buddha, and the incense of our Guanyin Monastery is more than three points vigorous......"
Looking at Elder Jinchi's posture, Monk Guangzhi, as one of his confidants, naturally understood that Elder Jinchi wanted them to come up with an idea, so that he could take away the brocade robe, and he took the initiative to speak considering his identity as the head of the Zen Academy.
Immediately, Monk Guangzhi rolled his eyes and said. "Presiding, this matter is easy, when I lead dozens of monks, take guns and knives, catch up with that Tang Sanzang, and explain the reason, explain the Dharma, I expect him to read the incense of Guanyin Master, he will readily agree."
When Elder Jin Chi heard this, he was overjoyed, and he suddenly felt that Monk Guangzhi was reasonable, wiped away his tears, and said. "Although this plan is wonderful, it is easy to frighten Master Sanzang from afar under the crowd, why don't you wait for the sky to darken, and then you lead the monks to catch up along the horseshoe prints, if it is too late today, I think they will not be able to go far."
