Chapter 43: The Four Great Ones Are Empty

There was a strange scene in Fawang Temple, first of all, Li Xuan attacked Huo Yuanzhen and questioned the miracles of Shaolin Temple, but Huo Yuanzhen fought back fiercely, and he was defeated, and he didn't dare to speak out until now.

After that, the abbot of the Fawang Temple, King Likong, went into battle shirtless, taking advantage of the home field, and relying on his mastery of Buddhism, to attack Huo Yuanzhen from a technical point of view, but not only failed to achieve the goal, but made a mess, and now it is also very embarrassing.

Seeing that the two of them were ugly, that Zen Master Lizhi finally couldn't sit still.

Originally, he thought that Huo Yuanzhen was a little monk, and he was not good enough to worry about at all, and there was no need to look at him squarely.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all, this little monk is not only articulate, but also quick-witted, and can grasp the key points very well.

Although Zen Master Li Zhi knows very well that this precept is deliberately pretending to be compassionate there, but if people pretend to be like it, you don't believe it, as long as those ordinary people believe it, it's enough.

Seeing that Li Xuan couldn't shake the scene, Li Zhi knew that he had to come forward himself, otherwise the miracle of Fawang Temple today is estimated to have no effect, and the majesty will be swept away.

With a cough, Lizhi stood up.

Although it was just a cough, everyone present could hear it clearly, and some people were still wondering, why could an old monk cough so far away and hear it, could it be that his facial features had become smarter?

Guan Shanyue's face changed a little, and she said to Huo Yuanzhen: "Abbot, this old monk has a strong internal force."

"How strong is it?".

"Compared to me, only high, not low".

What level Huo Yuan is at Guan Shanyue is really clear, that is the master of the acquired Great Perfection, the person who has entered the innate realm with one foot, and he is one of the top masters in Henan.

And Guan Shanyue said that the internal strength of this Lizhi Zen Master is only higher than him, which shows that this monk is at least acquired, and it is even very likely that he is a congenital master.

But even if he is a congenital master, Huo Yuanzhen is not afraid, first of all, today's occasion is not suitable for using force, and it is to use force, I believe that he can easily leave by crossing the river with his own reed.

Zen Master Li Zhi stood up, motioned to Li Kong to sit down, and turned to look at Huo Yuanzhen.

"Amitabha, the poor monk Li Zhi, the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple in Beijing, has seen the abbot of Shaolin One Ring."

Although Li Zhi is the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple, he is not the abbot after all, so he should be respectful of Huo Yuanzhen.

But the fact is that Daxiangguo Temple is the first temple in the world, and Shaolin Temple is only a Buddhist temple composed of two or three kittens, and Huo Yuanzhen's identity and Lizhi Zen Master are impossible to be equal.

Li Zhi said this on purpose, just to show his generous mind in front of everyone, so as to win people's favor first.

Huo Yuanzhen was like a mirror in his heart about these things, and he also saluted: "Daxiangguo Temple is a national temple, and Zen Master Lizhi is a high-ranking monk, so that Zen Master Lizhi can see the ceremony, and the poor monk is ashamed."

Since you are polite to me, then I won't steal any limelight, and when you make a move, I'm fighting back, Huo Yuanzhen refuses to have a frivolous impression with everyone.

Seeing that Huo Yuanzhen was not fooled, Li Zhi's face was a little more solemn, but he still spoke: "The old man listened to what the abbot of the first ring said, and every sentence can be described as a wise saying, like an enlightenment, which really opened the eyes of the old man, the so-called heroes from ancient times are also very appropriate to use in our Buddhist family."

Huo Yuanzhen smiled and said nothing, these unnutritious words didn't have to answer him every word.

After saying two kind words, Zen Master Lizhi changed his words: "But the poor monk also has a doubt, please ask the abbot to answer."

"Zen Master Lizhi, please speak."

The old monk Li Zhi said: "My Buddhism pays attention to the four major emptiness, I don't know what the abbot thinks of the four majors?"

Huo Yuanzhen thought about it, shook his head and said, "The poor monk doesn't know."

Hearing that Huo Yuanzhen didn't know, the old monk Li Zhi showed a smug look on his face and said playfully: "My Buddhists believe that the four things in the air are earth, water, fire and wind, so the four are almost all-encompassing, and the Buddha has clouds, everything is illusory, so when you really ignore the existence of these four, you can be regarded as comprehending the true meaning of the four emptiness."

Huo Yuanzhen didn't speak, but turned his head to say something to Guan Shanyue, and didn't seem to listen to Zen Master Lizhi's words.

The old monk Li Zhi was a little unhappy in his heart, but he still continued: "It is also said that the four major emptiness refer to the four natures of firmness, wetness, warmth, and movement. It is called "big" because it is universally present in any object, that is, the "four big" are the inherent physical properties of each object itself, rather than just referring to the earth, rivers, sunlight, and wind in nature. It also includes the characteristics of people themselves, which is more appropriate than the water, fire and wind of the land, you can understand."

Zen Master Li Zhi said this triumphantly, and when he saw Huo Yuanzhen, he was still laughing with Guan Shanyue, and he didn't know if he heard what he said.

Originally, it was meant to teach people, but people didn't listen to you at all, as if a punch was on cotton, and the old monk Li Zhi was also angry in his heart, but he still insisted: "However, the poor monk believes that there is another explanation for the emptiness of the four major beings, namely the mind, the Buddha, the self, and the sentient beings, and the four are empty, and the true nature of the phenomenon is emptiness, and there is no enlightenment, no delusion, no holiness, no extraordinary, no giving, and no receiving! Those who have comprehended the true meaning of this are already qualified to preach the Dharma and purify the world."

Obviously, Zen Master Li Zhi thought that he had reached this state, so he said that this was his realization.

originally thought that this tirade would completely shock Huo Yuanzhen, but when he looked at it again, Huo Yuanzhen actually patted the shoulder and laughed with the monk next to him, and he didn't even look at himself.

Although the Likong Lixuan and the others next to him all looked at themselves with admiration, but after all, they were not the objects they wanted to educate, and on this occasion, it only made sense to educate Huo Yuanzhen.

The anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and the old monk Li Zhi couldn't help but shout: "One ring! What are you doing? Have you listened to the poor monk?"

Unexpectedly, Huo Yuanzhen slowly raised his head and said to himself: "Everything is empty, where did you get such a big anger? Master Lizhi, you haven't cultivated yet."

A faint sentence, but it was like a blow to the head, a head-on blow, and the complacent old monk was blinded, and he stood there in a daze, not speaking for a long time.

This is simply a great irony, but I am still boasting here, saying that this is also empty, that is also empty, and as a result, people laughed a few words over there, and I couldn't help it, and I was annoyed on the spot, and I was speechless by a word from others, and I have cultivated to the dog for many years of penance, is there anything more humiliating in the world than this?

The people in the audience originally listened to what this old monk said very well, and they wanted to applaud him, but now that they look at it, they are still in the high realm of the abbot of Shaolin, and this old monk from the capital turned out to be just a tricky person, and when something happened, he couldn't hold his breath at all.

The disdainful gaze of everyone fell on the faces of Li Zhi and the other three monks, making them uncomfortable like a needle prick, if it weren't for the opening ceremony had not yet been held, they would have turned around and left immediately, without having to face the hateful face of Yijie again.

Seeing that the prestige of the three monks was lost, Lu Xuezhang, the only remaining prefect of Zhengzhou on the stage, couldn't sit still, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Don't talk about these problems, it will be auspicious, if you don't open the light, it will be too late."

Li Xuan also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it's time, I was patronizing and greeting the Shaolin abbot just now, and I almost got down to business, haha, hurry up, hurry up."

They are sloppy, and Li Zhi and Li Kong over there have also recovered a little, they are all old, and their cheeks are also very thick-skinned, although they know that today's consecration ceremony is basically a show, and it is impossible for Fawang Temple to increase its prestige because of this miracle, but it still has to have a beginning and an end.

Likong stood up and said loudly: "The auspicious time has come, and the miracle of Fawang Temple has officially begun, and I respectfully invite the miracle of the Buddha."

After saying this, Li Xuan over there hurriedly beckoned someone to tear off the red silk covering the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and the drum music over there was also ready to be played again, and at this time Huo Yuanzhen spoke again.

"A few masters, the poor monk sees that the red sun is slightly biased now, and the opening of the light is to pay attention to an accurate time, generally at noon, you have missed the auspicious time of the opening of the light, if you miss it, be careful of the Buddha to blame."

The abbot glared at Huo Yuanzhen, no longer had a good face, and said to Huo Yuanzhen: "How can the Buddha blame our Fawang Temple, the time has not yet come, not to mention that even if the time passes, the Buddha's blame has nothing to do with your Shaolin Temple, and it has nothing to do with your precepts, you just look at it honestly!"

"It has nothing to do with the poor monk, right, I think so, well, the poor monk is here to watch, never say a word more."

After finishing speaking, Huo Yuanzhen sat down, smiled and looked at the people of Wang Temple and pulled away the red silk covering the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

ps: Any book has a cool stage, there is also a foreshadowing stage, the poor monk here to persuade each donor, if a chapter feels bland, don't think that the poor monk Jiang Lang is exhausted, it is just for the later explosion of the foreshadowing.

Thanks to the 10,000 reward of the benefactor who has gone to the smoke, I have a new helmsman in Shaolin today, which is gratifying.
