The abbot of Jinshan Temple, hearing Wutian's answer, said cautiously: "Patriarch, the old mother of the prefect of Hangzhou, I have heard that you have gone to Lingshan to meet my Buddha in person, and you have gained immortality. ”

"No wonder they want to see me."

It's clear.

He has the name of a monk, so naturally he will not be just a senior in Jinshan Temple.

People will surely wonder what kind of abilities he has.

As a glorious history of Jinshan Temple, the name of Fahai has always been the pride of Jinshan Temple, and it is not difficult for people who want to find it.

The abbot of Jinshan Temple looked ashamed: "It's all because the disciples in the temple are too miscellaneous." ”

Wutian said casually: "It's okay, you arrange it, and when the mother of the Hangzhou prefect comes, I will meet her." ”

The old mother of the Hangzhou prefect is old, but Wutian is the oldest patriarch of Jinshan Temple, and it is impossible for Wutian to take the initiative to go to the Hangzhou prefect's house because she wants to ask Wutian for Buddhism.

Wutian agreed to meet with the old lady, and he gave the prefect of Hangzhou enough face.

After the abbot of Jinshan Temple received Wutian's permission, he sent his disciples to spread the word.

The old mother of the prefect came to worship the Buddha, and when she was accompanied by the daughters of the family, she naturally had to prepare well.

Wutian was not affected, he didn't take this matter to heart at all, and concentrated on entering the state of cultivation.

……

After three days of Wutian Qing cultivation, on this morning, the abbot of Jinshan Temple came to Wutian's room to report.

"Patriarch Fahai, the prefect's mother is here."

Wutian got up: "Prepare a Buddhist hall, I'll go see her." ”

In this era, after all, there is a great defense of etiquette, and although Wutian has the name of a monk, he will still look formless when he meets guests in his room.

When Wutian met the mother of the prefect of Hangzhou in the Buddhist hall, the old lady also had two little granddaughters by her side, the eldest was fourteen or fifteen years old, and the younger one was twelve or thirteen years old.

"You are the legendary Fahai Divine Monk?" When the old lady saw Wutian, she looked at Wutian's handsome face, and she was a little incredulous.

Wutian is the same age as her eldest granddaughter.

If he's not a liar, he's an immortal.

After Wutian sat down, he said with an approachable appearance: "Just call me Fahai Zen Master." ”

"Zen Master Fahai!"

The old lady gave a Buddhist salute.

It is said that Fahai Zen Master is the highest ranking monk in Jinshan Temple, and there are all kinds of magical legends, after Wutian admitted his identity, the old lady naturally did not mind expressing her respect.

As for whether Wutian really has the ability or whether he has the ability, the old lady will also have a judgment.

Although she is a woman in the inner house, she has spent most of her life in the back house, but it is not easy for her to be the mother of the prefect of Hangzhou.

After the old lady finished saluting, she glanced at the two granddaughters separately.

The two girls also saluted to Wutian in unison: "Meet Zen Master Fahai!" ”

"No need to be polite."

Wutian has a casual posture.

Later, Wutian continued: "If the old lady doesn't understand anything about Buddhism, just ask. ”

After the old lady hesitated for a moment, she looked at Wutian with a curious expression: "Zen Master Fahai, have you really gone to Lingshan to see the Buddha?" ”

"Really." Wutian simply replied with two words.

Is an inner house woman like this, who eats fasting and recites Buddha for many years, really interested in Buddhism?

There must be such people, but there are very few, most of them are holding a few Buddhist scriptures as sustenance, eating fasting and reciting Buddha for many years, mainly to comfort themselves.

Therefore, when she had the opportunity to meet Wutian, the first thing the old lady wanted to ask was not a question about Buddhism, but to find out whether there was really a Buddha and what a Buddha was like.

After hearing Wutian's answer, the old lady then asked, "Isn't the Buddha very kind?" ”

Wutian thought for a moment and said, "No, I was in Lingshan in the past, and he gave me the feeling that he had a fierce face, and he seemed to be ready to beat me at any time." ”

This is true, and it is not a lawless smear of the Buddha.

Fahai is probably the most rude Buddhist disciple that the Buddha has ever seen, even if the Buddha comes in person, full of nonsense, and violates the Buddha's decree.

A thousand years ago, he almost couldn't get out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Lingshan.

If he wasn't Wutian, just Fahai, then a thousand years ago, he would definitely have folded in Lingshan.

Therefore, Wutian now recalls the scene from a thousand years ago, and also feels that the Buddha is full of fierce faces.

What's going on with this monk?

The old lady looked at Wutian a little speechlessly.

How can there be a Buddhist disciple who dares to say that he is like a Buddha.

The old lady understood a little at this time, why the Zen master in front of her went to Lingshan to meet the Buddha, but he still returned to the mortal world.

"Buddhism talks about compassion to help the world, but there are also vajra angry eyes, and the Buddha that the Zen master sees should only be one of the Buddha's dharma aspects."

The old lady saw that Wutian was so upright, so she simply took the initiative to go back to the circle.

"Perhaps."

There is no question of justice.

The beliefs of Buddhism and Taoism have a terrible dominance in this land.

He wants to spread the Dharma of the Heavenless Buddha, but he really has a long way to go.

The word Buddha has a very heavy weight.

And he's just a Zen master.

The difficulty of him wanting to use the Dharma to destroy the Dharma is too high, but Wutian does not have the slightest idea of backing down, but is full of fighting spirit.

He had long wanted to compete with the Buddha like this.

The old lady continued: "I heard that the Zen master obtained immortality from Lingshan, and the old body originally didn't believe it, but when I saw the Zen master today, I believed it a little. ”

When she said this, the old lady's eyes were a little hot.

The older a person is, the more he wants to live, especially this kind of person who is in a high position and has a noble body, and he doesn't want to die.

A Buddhist master, even if she has the name of a monk, is not worthy of her, the prefect's mother, dragging her old body to visit.

However, after knowing that this monk had seen the Buddha and was immortal, she must meet him.

The old lady looked at Wutian's face, and then asked, "Zen master, can I ask, how old are you this year?" ”

Wutian said: "I can't remember clearly." ”

"I have been a monk in Jinshan Temple since I was a child, and when I practiced, I didn't know the years, and when I practiced to a certain level, I was led by Lingshan."

The old lady asked again: "Zen master, since you have gone to Lingshan, why have you returned to this mortal world again?" ”

went to Lingshan and met the characters of the Buddha, but they actually returned to the mortal world, and they never wrote it in the book.

Wutian maintained a serious appearance and said, "Because I found that the Dharma taught by the Buddha is not the Dharma I want to learn, I don't want to stay in Lingshan." ”

The old lady felt a little tired.

The person in front of him is really a master of Buddhism?

However, the old lady quickly cleaned up her mood and said to Wutian: "The Zen master is really profound, I don't know, do I have the opportunity to worship the Zen master to learn the Dharma?" ”

Wutian knew the old lady's thoughts, so he was very straightforward: "With your qualifications, there is no hope for immortality." ”
