Chapter 206: Abbot

The abbot of Puji Temple came quickly, sat in the courtyard after more than an hour, he was a very ordinary monk, in his early thirties, he looked quite gentle, not as graceful and luxurious as other abbots, neither gorgeous monk's robes, nor precious prayer beads, not to mention fat head and big ears, full of red light, only a gray monk's robe, a pair of cloth shoes, a string of wooden prayer beads hanging on his chest, sitting in front of me with a sad face.

Although he is not a monk, he is also unpretentious, and now there are not many such monks, why don't the gods bless him? I poured the abbot a cup of tea and asked, "How long has the abbot presided over Puji Temple?" ”

"The poor monk has been presiding over the Puji Temple for more than three years, and after the old abbot died, the poor monk became the abbot."

"Has there ever been such a strange thing in the temple before?"

"No, before I took over, Puji Temple was extremely chaotic, there were merit boxes everywhere in the temple, there were Taoist divination fortune tellers in the hall, there were panacea sellers in front of the temple, lottery, food, stalls, all kinds of wonders, I have a reputation for strict precepts, the old abbot handed over Puji Temple to me, and there was also the meaning of letting me straighten."

The abbot was aggrieved, and began to pour bitter water with me as he spoke: "It is not easy to rectify Puji Temple, it is not easy, I have offended many people, those people are bastards and scoundrels in the vicinity, and there are **** on it, every day someone comes to the temple to make trouble, surround us, tear and beat, and rob the bronze bell in the temple and put it on the small truck, carrying knives and sticks to rush out, more bandits than bandits, poor monks in order to stop them, simply lay on the ground, only to stop the truck from moving forward." ”

"It was a group of real scoundrels, it didn't work to call the police, the police came when they came, the police came when they left, and some of them also smeared paint on the temple doors and insulted the temple ......"

"For the sake of the monks' pure land, I organized the monks to practice martial arts, while practicing and fighting with the troublemakers, fighting to the end, we finally won the victory, those scoundrels negotiated with us, but the poor monks did not give an inch, and finally they left, Puji Temple can be clean from then on, not the same as other temples, the donor can ask the people nearby, I Puji Temple strictly abides by the precepts, has never done anything out of the ordinary, how did it become like this......"

Since the abbot dares us to check, it means that the Puji Temple has indeed done it, then the question arises, how can such a strict temple not even stay with the guardian saint? The buddy pondered and didn't understand the reason for this, so he muttered and said to the abbot: "Buddhism talks about cause and effect, today's situation, it's not without reason, you haven't pondered it carefully?" ”

"After the rectification, the Puji Temple strictly abides by the precepts, not even the merit box, and even does not sell incense, as for donations, the Puji Temple is based on the principle of voluntariness, never asked anyone, the monks left in the temple are also real monks, can do penance, and the laymen who come are the same, everyone is treated equally, and the poor monks really can't think of violating the Buddhist precepts there."

Since this is not, that is not, buddy is wondering, the abbot is a professional does not understand, buddy a second-hanger Taoist priest may not be able to solve it, but if it can't be solved, it has to be solved, after all, Zhang Run is ashamed of Puji Temple, and he has to be reasonable.

I thought about it for a while, and said to the abbot: "Master, let's do this, my little junior brother promised you, I took over, but I don't dare to guarantee that I will be able to help you solve it from the root, we have to find a way together, even if the root can't be lifted, I will also solve the troubles in the temple for you, you don't have to force us to solve it completely, it's a bit embarrassing." ”

I thought the abbot would disagree, forcing us to solve it for him from the root, otherwise he would threaten to make trouble, after all, Puji Temple occupies the reason, but I didn't expect the abbot to smile bitterly and said: "The poor monk also knows that it is difficult for you, and he is also angry with your junior brother, you say that we are a Zen temple, and the emphasis is on a pure and inaction, the monks in the temple strictly abide by the precepts, in order to solve the affairs of the temple, there is no way to invite your junior brother, but your junior brother's requirements, except for eating and drinking, there is nothing else, We also let him carry him around outside the temple, and for seven days, it became a joke, and in the end nothing could be solved, and the monk was also angry. ”

Speaking of this, the abbot sighed helplessly, shook his head and continued: "The poor monk is not embarrassed for you, the affairs of the temple, if you can help, you can help, if you can't help, it will be a joke, Puji Temple has already become a joke, hey! ”

A sigh, sad and sad, the whole buddy can't bear it, if the abbot is quite unreasonable, I also have a way to deal with him, don't let Zhang Run, then let you be more afraid of what, I can still do it, a reason, buddy has no temper, I feel that this matter is still Zhang Run's heart, and said to the abbot: "We are at a loss first, and we will not stand idly by, but if you want to solve it from the root, you have to start from the root, so let's do it, I will go to the temple as a layman to live for a few days, follow the monks to practice, quietly, It's good to figure things out, you see? ”

There is no way to do this, I can't figure out whether it is a nightmare in the Puji Temple, there is a golden cicada in the Puji Temple, and it is a god in colorful clothes, not necessarily a nightmare, even if there is a nightmare in the Puji Temple, it is estimated that it is not only a nightmare, and the sound of fighting often comes from the Daxiong Treasure Hall to explain the problem.

What's more, if you want to solve the problem completely, you must solve it from the root, the best way is to experience the experience, find the fault, maybe in the abbot monks seem to be very reasonable things, but I, an outsider, can see the clues, there is a good saying, the bystander is clear, then it can only be in the Puji Temple for a few days.

I can't blatantly go with Zhang Run to kill demons, so that the things in the temple have to be guarded, or have to keep a low profile, the abbot heard my suggestion, nodded and said: "It's a good way, so let's do it, there are a few particularly devout laymen in Puji Temple, who have been practicing penance in the temple, because something happened, I will let them go home, since you want to enter the temple, don't just yourself, that's too obvious." ”

The abbot is very smart, even very empathetic, listens to the sound, understands what the buddy means, this is actually the best, at least it can confuse the things in the temple, the buddy hides it or investigates it secretly, and then solves the problem, everyone is happy.

I talked to the abbot again, which means what the temple was like before and what it is now, everything is as usual, since it is looking for problems, you can't change it, and don't take special care of me because of my arrival...... The abbot nodded in agreement, left phone calls for each other, and made an appointment with me to go to Puji Temple tomorrow morning to practice in the temple like other ordinary laymen.

The abbot left, and didn't take Zhang Run away, and the whole buddy was even more embarrassed, looked at Zhang Run, and asked, "What else do you have besides eating?" ”

Zhang Run's nose and swollen face looked at me and said: "Senior brother's words are bad, as the saying goes, people take food as the sky, it can be seen that people can't do without food, and my food is different from ordinary food, my food is practice, it is the realm, and it is one of the three thousand avenues...... Let's call it the way of eating, if I study this dish thoroughly, I will become the patriarch of the sect"

As soon as he mentioned eating, Zhang Run's eyes lit up, and he talked at length, and he talked about the cultivation of the Tao, and sent me a piece about the self-cultivation of a foodie, I quietly watched him shamelessly find reasons for himself, but Zhang Run didn't feel embarrassed at all, and after talking for a long time, it seemed that he was hungry, swallowed and spit, stood up and said to me: "Senior brother, I'll go and see what you have to eat at home!" ”

I grabbed Zhang Run and said to him: "You caused this incident, I promise you to help, but you can't stay out of it, accompany me to be a monk for a few days." ”

"Senior brother said so, I will accompany you, I will go to see what you have to eat at home first, by the way, senior brother, I will start a gang with you in the future, and in the future, I will do the rough work of cooking, and I will also come to buy vegetables, you can just wait for ...... to eat" After speaking, he walked towards the kitchen.

Longhu Mountain has always been particularly tall in my heart, similar to the holy land in my mind, and it collapsed at this moment, although I don't know that Zhang Run is from Longhu Mountain, but it is a family disciple, so he cultivated a foodie? And I, a motivated young man, have to wipe the foodie...... What the hell is wrong with this world?

I sighed and took out my cigarette, took two puffs, felt that it was a bit unreliable to only take Zhang Run to be a layman, and after thinking about it, I called Kou Zhen and asked him to come to me, and the phone was put down for five minutes, Kou Zhen rushed in and shouted to me: "What's the matter, so urgent?" ”

"Zhang Run's business." I pointed to Zhang Run, who was picking up in the kitchen, and Kou Zhenleng said, "This foodie is preparing to stay in Shajiabang?" Viagra, buddy's family has no place to take him. ”

"Don't let him live in your house, accompany me to be a monk for a few days......" I told the cause and effect of the incident, Kou Zhen was dumbfounded, his eyes rolled, he came to my ear, and whispered to me: "Viagra, isn't the Zhengyi Five Thunder Sutra in hand?" In my opinion, we don't need to find this trouble, it's better like this, at night I use the five elements of yin and yang to scare this kid by pretending to be a ghost, if the girl runs away, our buddies will not have a little trouble. ”

It's a good way, if you don't promise the abbot before, this thing can really be done, but I promised the abbot, besides, although Zhang Run is a foodie, that is also a personal disciple of Longhu Mountain, buddy and he still have incense, don't look at his face, but also look at Zhang Qingshan's face, if you complain to Zhang Qingshan that I bullied him and forced him to go, Zhang Qingshan will see me again, and you can't beat me?

What's more, I haven't been punished yet, and this matter can't go around Longhu Mountain, my buddy said to Kou Zhen very painfully: "Forget it, who made me Zhang Qingshan's apprentice, just like that, you accompany me to be a monk for a few days, with you, buddy will have three points more confidence."
