I cleared my throat and told this story.

In the Tang Dynasty, at the end of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, there was a prince named Jin Qiaojue in ancient Silla, who saw through Hongchen and brought a white dog to the Tang Dynasty, cut his hair and became a monk, and converted to Buddhism. At that time, the Tang Dynasty Buddhism was prosperous, and the rulers were highly respected, and large and small Buddhist temples were established everywhere in the world.

"Xiaobai, I don't regret crossing the sea with me." , Jin Qiaojue touched the head of the white dog.

The white dog rubbed his leg affectionately and shook his head.

"This trip is a little bitter, but I have no regrets, you look at this Tang Dynasty, just like the Buddha country, can you close your eyes and hear the sound of chanting Buddha?" , Jin Qiaojue folded his hands, closed his eyes, and showed a divine smile on his face.

The white dog howled twice, and also looked like Jin Qiaojue, and closed his eyes.

Their destination this time was Jiuhua Mountain, a famous Buddhist mountain.

A man and a dog came to the foot of the mountain, looked up, and there were believers standing on the mountain road who could not see the end, all of them performing Buddhist rituals, with solemn expressions.

"What a trip it was worth!" , Jin Qiaojue smiled happily.

On the pretext of seeking Buddhism and the Dharma, Jin Qiaojue climbed to the temple on the top of the mountain.

There were two little monks standing at the door, who stepped forward to give a Buddha salute and said, "Amitabha, where did the master come from?" ”

"Little Master, I came across the sea from Silla, and I have heard for a long time that the master of Jiuhua Mountain has profound Buddhism, so I have come to solve my doubts." , Jin Qiaojue replied respectfully.

The little monk carefully looked at Jin Qiaojue's appearance and was shocked.

This Jin Qiaojue is more than seven feet tall, according to the height of the Tang Dynasty, it is almost equivalent to the current two meters, and then look at this appearance is even more heroic and extraordinary, revealing a trace of divine breath all over his body, Jin Qiaojue's words just now were even more misunderstood by this little monk, mistakenly thinking that he came to Jiuhua Mountain to kick the mountain gate, and secretly guarded in his heart.

"This master, my master is not here today, if you want to solve your doubts, please come back another day." , the little monk said calmly.

But what kind of character is Jin Qiaojue, since he dared to cross the sea from ancient Silla, and his vision can be compared to this kind of little monk, he can see at a glance that this little monk is lying, and he is slightly unhappy in his heart, he has come to Datang thousands of miles away to eat closed-door soup.

His face remained unchanged, and he chuckled: "Your temple is famous far and wide, and the world knows it, but now it looks like it's just a vain name, it's just that, I'll go down the mountain." ”

After saying that, he was about to go down the mountain and leave, but what he had just said was so loud that it had already attracted a large group of believers to come here to point fingers.

The two little monks were in a hurry, and hurriedly grabbed Jin Qiaojue, "Where did the wild monk come from, if you don't let you in, you will slander the reputation of my temple!" ”

"Why didn't you let me in?"

"I said, Master is not here!"

"Really!" , Jin Qiaojue's gaze was like a sharp blade, forcing the little monk to dodge.

"When...... Of course it's true! The little monk was still quibbling.

Jin Qiaojue was about to leave, but an old voice came from behind, "The apprentice is rude, this little master, please come with me!" ”

Jin Qiaojue turned around and saw an old monk in a robe, standing at the gate of the temple, revealing an amazing Buddha aura on his body.

As soon as the old monk came forward, the surrounding believers suddenly booed and pointed at the little monk.

"I think this monk of Jiuhua Mountain is just a vain name......"

"Yes, yes, I don't dare to speak!"

When the old monk heard this, he frowned.

Seeing this, Jin Qiaojue hurriedly walked in front of the old monk, lowered his posture, and said: "I have heard that Master Jiu's Buddhism is profound, and seeing it today really opened the eyes of the little monk!" ”

The old monk was stunned for a moment, and then said: "How can the little master see that the poor monk's Buddhism is profound. ”

Jin Qiaojue looked at the clouds in the distance, his fingers moved slightly, and the cloud gradually turned into a lotus flower.

"Master, please look there!" , Jin Qiaojue pretended to be confused and pointed to the clouds in the distance, "I heard rumors from the Buddhism Gate that people with profound Buddhism have Golden Lotus Protectors when they go out, isn't the master?" ”

Everyone followed the direction of his finger to look, and the cloud had indeed turned into a lotus flower, which looked particularly sacred in the setting sun, like a Buddhist golden lotus.

Now, the crowd can be fried.

"What this little master said is really good, I haven't seen it just now......"

"It seems that this master of Jiuhua Mountain is indeed a master of Buddhism!"

After speaking, everyone bowed to the lotus flower, they came here to ask the Buddha to be comforted, and now when they see this scene, how can they not worship.

Jin Qiao glanced at the old monk with interest, he wanted to see a look of shock on the old monk's face, but he was disappointed.

"Little Master, come in with me." , the old monk Gujing Wubo turned around and left.

Jin Qiaojue and the white dog hurriedly followed.

Entering the temple, a large group of monks sat in the main hall and chanted Buddha, a peaceful scene.

The old monk stopped and muttered, "Amitabha, the poor monk thanks the little master for relieving the siege." ”

Jin Qiaojue was stunned, and then said: "I got an axe in front of the master." ”

"What's the matter with the little master?"

"Don't hide it from the master, I came from Silla across the sea thousands of miles just to come to Datang to seek Buddha's doubts."

"Are you satisfied now?" The old monk pointed to the group of monks who were chanting.

Jin Qiaojue looked at it, frowned, and said, "Not satisfied." ”

"Little Master, let me ask you again, what are we Buddhists cultivating?"

"Heart." , Jin Qiaojue said without hesitation.

"Then you just fooled the world in front of the mountain gate, did you go against your heart?"

"This ......"

"You also had good intentions just now, but you misunderstood what I meant, we seek to purify sentient beings, just now I saw that group of believers have doubts about my Jiuhua Mountain, I think about my own shortcomings, not enough for them to believe, you know?"

The old monk's words were like an empowerment, Jin Qiaojue hurriedly bowed and said sincerely: "Understood." ”

The old monk stretched out his hand and pointed to the mountain in the distance, and in an instant, the endless mountain peaks came out with golden Buddha light, and Jin Qiaojue was dumbfounded when he saw it, and only now did he understand that the depth of the old monk's Buddhism in front of him was not comparable to him.

"I see that you have deep roots, so stay and take my mantle, I Tang Dynasty from Master Xuanzang to the west to retrieve the Mahayana Buddhism, this world will be a lot less suffering, now I pass on this Mahayana Buddhism to you, are you willing to learn?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, these ninety-nine peaks of Jiuhua Mountain, you can choose one as your cultivation place." The old monk looked at him with a smile.

Jin Qiaojue nodded, he knew that this was the old monk testing him.

He tore off his robe and threw it into the sky, turning it into a cloud covering the sun and covering all ninety-nine peaks.

"Now I ask you where is the peak?" , the old monk looked at him with blazing eyes.

"The mountain is in my heart." , Jin Qiaojue said loudly.

"Good, good!" , The old monk looked up to the sky and laughed, and walked into the distance.

"The poor monk's name is universal!"

"Meet Master!" , Jin Qiaojue fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed to Puzhao's figure.
