Chapter Twenty-Six: A Leaf

At first, I may have been a little curious about this magnificent discussion of Buddha, but after watching it for a long time, I couldn't help but feel a little bored at dusk. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Because as the debate progressed, the monks had long been unable to pay attention to the usual demeanor on the scene, and a group of monks in order to expound their views and achieve the final victory, they were red-faced. To be honest, this kind of argument that has no Buddhist bearing is actually not very good-looking. Except for some old monks who can maintain their faces unchanged, many monks have lost their usual indifference, and in their eyes, there may only be a heart of victory or defeat left at this moment.

"Amitabha..." sighed lightly, and the monk Tianyuan sighed in his heart, although compared to the Central Plains, the development of Buddhism in Dali can be said to be vigorous and prosperous. However, it is because the status of the Buddhist disciples in Dali is too outstanding, and the reputation of Tianlong Temple is too high, which leads to the monks of Dali forgetting their ordinary hearts when cultivating Buddhism, forgetting that there is a Buddha in their hearts, where is not the truth of the Pure Land, but is dedicated to the pursuit of reputation and prestige, and tries their best to catch up with Tianlong Temple. Because of the heart of fame and fortune, many monks have lost their hearts, in such a situation, is it still a practice of Buddhism!

Just like now, in order to prove one's Buddhist practice, in order to prove that oneself is better than others, noisy and noisy, what is the difference between this and the shrew in the street market. It's not that the monk Tianyuan is prejudiced against shrews, it's just that he thinks that as a monk, since he is a monk, he should have the appearance of a monk, and there is no need to be nostalgic for the prosperous honor of the world.

I was bored, feeling the complex emotions contained in Senior Brother Tianyuan's sigh, Dusk immediately continued the conversation, and asked strangely: "What's wrong, Senior Brother, for no reason, what are you sighing for!" ”

"It's nothing..." With a wry smile, Monk Tianyuan clasped his hands, glanced at Dusk, and said softly: "It's just that I feel like it's still our Shaolin!" ”

"That's natural..." raised his eyebrows, thinking that the senior brother was a little emotional about the current situation of Shaolin because of the prosperity of Tianlong Temple, and he immediately praised Shaolin at dusk: "Tianlong Temple's status is too outstanding, it is only in the small country of Dali, although my Shaolin has been closed for decades, but it is also the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, how can Tianlong Temple compare with our Shaolin!" ”

The young man's words made the Tianyuan monk shake his head, smiled without saying a word, touched the young man's head, and the Tianyuan monk looked at the master of Yilan who was sitting quietly in the crowd of monks, and secretly said in his heart: Little junior brother, what I feel is not fame!

The conversation between the two brothers is not loud, and it is not unscrupulous, but if no one comes out to take the initiative to find faults, it seems that the two of them have traveled all the way to Dali!

On the right hand side of Master Yideng, an old monk glanced at the two monks and brothers from a distance, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said to Master Yideng knowingly: "Senior Brother Yideng, those two are the high disciples from Shaolin Temple!" ”

With a move in his expression, Master Yideng understood what his junior brother had in mind, and Senior Brother Yiye was good at anything, but he was too important to the prestige of Tianlong Temple. Shaolin Temple is the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, this point, this junior brother has always been a little hostile, plus he knows his relationship with the Tianyuan monk, and is unwilling to leave Shaolin and throw himself into the arms of the Tianlong Temple Tianyuan monk, in Yiye's heart, he naturally thinks that Tianyuan looks down on Tianlong Temple, so it would be strange if he still had a good impression of Tianyuan!

However, it is clear that Master Yideng does not intend to stop Yiye, he understands who the Tianyuan monk is, as for this young man who aroused his curiosity, he just took this opportunity to see, why did he impress the Tianyuan monk and the senior monks of the Shaolin Temple, and would rather go against the admonition of Shaolin to close the mountain, but also accept him as an apprentice.

"Yes, it's Shaolin's Tianyuan Master and Kong Ming!" Nodding, he looked at the senior brother in the corner, and said with a lamp.

"Oh, Master Tianyuan has seen it, but this empty light, what's going on?" Monk Yiye asked suspiciously.

Whispered a brief introduction to the origin of Kongming to Senior Brother Yiye, and just after listening to Senior Brother's words, Monk Yiye couldn't help but drink: "Isn't this nonsense, what does Abbot Wubai think, how can he casually accept this kind of person as a disciple, no wonder Shaolin is getting worse and worse under his management, the first major faction in the Central Plains at that time, it has become penniless in a few decades!" ”

Hearing the younger brother's roundabout attack on Shaolin and Abbot Wubai, Master Yideng shook his head and did not answer.

As if he felt that the senior brother had no intention of stopping him, Yiye turned his head and gestured to a disciple behind him, and whispered: "Xianghe, that's a Shaolin monk, you can go and ask for advice later!" ”

"This..." A trace of hesitation flashed on his face, Xianghe knew what the master meant, but he also knew that these two people were honored guests invited by the master of the lamp, and he went up so directly and provoked the two, is it too bad to give the master of the lamp face!

There was a taboo in his heart, and Xianghe secretly glanced at Master Yideng, and wondered: "Master Tianyuan's apprentice knows that if he can ask him for advice on Buddhism, the disciple naturally has no opinion, but that young man, at such a young age, the disciple just goes up like this, I'm afraid something is wrong!" ”

gave Xianghe an expression of why are you so stupid, Yiye Zen Master hated iron and said with hatred: "I said how did I accept you such a sluggish apprentice, it is not appropriate for you to go up, I feel a bit big and bully, can't you let your apprentice go up!" ”

No, master, you're really going to provoke the Shaolin disciples! Listening to the meaning of Master Yiye's words, it is obvious that the master said so clearly that he will definitely not be able to shirk it, thinking of this, the monk Xianghe can only nod helplessly.

"Isn't it true that the memory of Buddhist scriptures has reached a point where even you can't beat it!" After thinking for a while, Yiye Zen Master said: "You can let Wufu challenge that young man first, test the depth of the Shaolin monk, and then you can test the Tianyuan monk!" ”

"Yes, master!" Feeling that the master's proposal was indeed the best way now, after a moment of silence for the unknown young man in his heart, the monk Xianghe got up and retired, and went down to inform his apprentice to prepare.

I was bored and couldn't leave at dusk, sitting cross-legged, dragging my chin with both hands, scanning the situation in the field boredly, watching the monks staggered back and forth, you fought for me, and kept complaining in my heart!

"I'll go, this old monk, you seem to be a high-ranking monk, how can you even say the most basic scriptures in the "Diamond Sutra" wrong..."

"And you, you can now refute the opposite side through the essence of the Huayan Sutra, and even defeat him in one fell swoop, how can you surrender directly, don't just admit defeat so easily!"

・・・

Although Dusk doesn't seek to understand the Buddhist scriptures he remembers, he can't forget them all and can't understand them all, but all the scriptures he has read are in his mind, even if he can't understand all of them, just dabbling in them, it's still very simple.

Therefore, listening to the debate of the monks in the field, Dusk had the urge to go up and compete with the monks of Tianlong Temple.

However, before Dusk could put his impulses into action, a young monk in his twenties forced Dusk to break his philosophy of pursuing his own low-key life...
