Text Chapter 314 Unexpected Gift
Master Canaan also smiled bitterly with kindness, and said indifferently: "Entering the world is for cultivation, this is to eliminate karma, but also to accumulate blessings, so why do you care, hehe?"
Uncle Li smiled back and said: "After so many years, with you, it seems that I can always show my bad roots, just continue to be a great monk with compassion, and I will continue to be my old way of subduing demons and subduing demons and seeking mercenary, perhaps, this is what the Buddha called dust in his heart and difficult to break, hehe"
"You and I are both empty doors, and the things of love are the roots that must be broken, but you and I have this calamity, whether it is broken or established, but it is only the matter of this life;
Hongchen dependents, knowing that there are many empty phases, it is still difficult to curb greed, hatred, infatuation, obsession, indulging in flesh desires are not what I want, but when I want to see you, you can see you, and you are happy and sad are all around, that is, there is a Buddha in the heart of the Bodhisattva, and there is a Bodhisattva in the heart of the Buddha, which is enough. Master Canaan clasped his hands together and started a meditation machine.
Uncle Li looked at Master Canaan with admiration in his eyes, but he laughed and said, "You old monk, I don't believe that you are really empty, so what, don't you want to know what mystery is hidden in Master Miaoren's painting?" ”
Master Canaan raised his eyebrows, looked at the cunning Uncle Li with a smile on his face, and said with a long smile: "I guess you don't know, but you deliberately came to earn money, how can I fall for you, hehe"
"Although I don't know the true meaning of the painting, I remember a story, I wonder if the old monk is willing to listen to it?" Uncle Li looked straight and said slowly.
"I want to hear about it." Master Canaan's heart froze, but he replied calmly.
When Shakyamuni Buddha was alive, he preached the Dharma for forty-nine years, and the demon king Bo Xun saw that Shakyamuni Buddha had saved many people, and he felt very uncomfortable, and asked the Buddha to hurry up Nirvana: "You have saved so many people, you can Nirvana." "The Buddha realized that his fate with the sentient beings had arrived, and he agreed to Bo Xun's request. The Demon King Bo Xun said, "After you become nirvana, I will definitely destroy your Dharma." ”
The Buddha said, "The Dharma is the Dharma and no force can destroy it." The Demon King Bo Xun said, "At the end of your Dharma period, I will ask my disciples and grandchildren to blend into your temple, wear your robes, and destroy your Dharma. They distort your scriptures and destroy your precepts in order to achieve what I cannot achieve by force today..." Seeing this, the demon king led the crowd to laugh wildly...... Is this allusion familiar to the great monk? Uncle Li looked at Master Canaan, and there was no hint of ridicule on his face.
"Brother Dao means ......" Master Na Canaan looked at Uncle Li fixedly, and a trace of fear finally flashed in his eyes, "Is the meaning of the characters in that painting that the Demon King Bo Xun will come to the world?" ”
Uncle Li closed his eyes, nodded heavily, and said tiredly: "In the past few months, I have been running around Shanxi, Zhili and other places, and I have entered the underworld by mistake, just to find out which dangerous shadow is hidden in my subconscious, but until today, in this solemn relic tower, I feel that I have caught the tail of that shadow for the first time, and the fear in my heart has deepened, old monk, we are old brothers, I don't want to hide it from you, this dangerous shadow does make me feel a little scared, Because, I can feel the pressure he constantly exerts on me, eating away at my self-confidence and energy little by little, maybe I'm really a little old and incompetent, hehe"
"Brother Dao, it's not that you're old, it's just that your psychological burden is heavy, it turns out that you are fighting alone, and you don't care about life and death, but now you have three apprentices, because you are afraid that they will be hurt, you have scruples, this is the source of your fear, but timidity and fear can never guarantee their safety, on the contrary, only by fighting, can you open a Bodhi road in a desperate situation, this, isn't it the essence of your Taoists who have always believed in "my life is not in the sky"? Seeing that Uncle Li was so decadent, Master Canaan raised his eyebrows, and his tone became stern, not at all like the previous monk who was kind and kind-eyed and had no quarrel with the world.
"Hahahaha," Seeing that Master Canaan was serious, Uncle Li couldn't help laughing loudly, and then looked at Master Canaan and said: "Okay, you old monk, pierce my flesh with my awl, okay, I really can't say anything about you, but one thing you are right, those three cubs, uh, recently added another girl, for the time being, it's four, I'm really afraid that they will be hurt, after all, they are still young, and there is a better life waiting for them, if it really affects their lives, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life, You haven't experienced that feeling, it's like an ant eating your heart, life is better than death! However, what you just said also woke me up, everyone has already sharpened their knives, no matter how worried I am, I can't stop the steel knives that people are chopping, the best defense is to attack, it seems that it's time to make a move......"
After saying this, Uncle Li pinned the two volumes of green ivy calligraphy and paintings to his waist, and was about to go out by the way, but was stopped by Master Canaan and said: "You old prank, is it possible that you still want to abduct the real handwriting of my temple, put down Master Miaoren's handwriting first!" ”
"You thief bald, I took this calligraphy and painting out for research, and I didn't send it to the pawn shop to be folded into silver, why are you so nervous?" Uncle Li protected the scroll with one hand, and his mouth was still full of reasoning.
"If you want to study, after you go up, the old man can copy two pieces to you with his memory, but this authentic work must be left here, you must know that this calligraphy and painting are all integrated with the magic of Master Miaoren's cultivation of the mind, which can protect the safety of the monks in my temple, if it is not the selfishness of the old man, how can he give it privately!" Master Canaan's eyes were blazing, all he thought about was the safety of the monks of Shuiyue Temple, and his compassion moved Uncle Li as well, so he honestly put the scroll back into the stone box, and then Master Canaan reburied it under the sand stone in front of Master Miaoren's relic.
After doing all this, Uncle Li took a deep look at the dry riverbed and the place where there used to be an ancient well, and then picked up the ever-bright lamp that was about to run out of oil, and followed Master Canaan out of this underground cave that hid a thousand-year-old secret.
Coming out from under the pedestal of the thousand-armed and thousand-eyed Buddha statue, Li Shu'er and Master Na Canaan returned to the meditation room, and as soon as they sat down, they saw that the guest monk accompanied Wei Ergou and Yang Yi who had crooked stomachs and the four of them came back.
Yang Yi and Liu Ruoxue also had an intoxicated expression with endless aftertaste and fragrant teeth, only Zhong Li Yiyi was still like frost, and a pair of beautiful eyes swept over the faces of Li Shu'er and Master Canaan from time to time, as if they were observing something.
"Master, it's not easy for poor Dao masters and apprentices to come here, you can't let us go home empty-handed, they all say that the master ink and Danqing is a must in your temple, can you let the poor Dao apprentices open their eyes, hehe" Seeing that Yang Yi and Wei Ergou were all back, Li Shu'er and Master Na Canaan began to act again, one master at a time, as if the two of them were unfamiliar and how they had been friends for a long time and cherished each other, it was really life like a play, all relying on acting skills.
Yang Yi, Wei Ergou, and Liu Ruoxue didn't know what to do, as soon as they heard that Master Na Canaan could also write and write, they also playfully begged Master Canaan to show his hand and let them learn from the juniors, and Zhong Li Yiyi, who had been silent, seemed to be very interested in Master Canaan's calligraphy and painting, and he also walked over quietly to take a look.
Master Canaan knew that Uncle Li was asking him to copy the true handwriting of Master Miaoren, so that he could take it back and study it carefully, so he didn't break it, and the monk brought the green rattan paper and pen and ink, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to concentrate on the pen.
Looking at the portrait, Uncle Li first cheered to himself, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou couldn't see the way, but they also mixed up with other people's meals for a meal, and they always had to give face, so they also echoed Uncle Li and applauded again and again. But that Liu Ruoxue and Zhongli Yiyi know the techniques of Chinese painting, seeing that Master Canaan is particular about using ink, and the characters are vivid, and if they see good painting skills, they can't help but nod slightly and give the connoisseur's approval.
After Master Canaan finished painting the small statue, he didn't stop, and wrote out the six proverbs in one go, only as a Buddhist proverb given to Uncle Li, when Master Canaan wrote the proverbs, Uncle Li'er's eyes looked at Zhongli Yiyi intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that she looked at Master Canaan with a fixed face and a pen, and there was no abnormality between her eyebrows and eyes, and she couldn't help but laugh secretly in her heart that she was suspicious and suspicious.
After writing, Master Canaan put the dried calligraphy and painting scroll into the painting scroll, handed it to Li Shu'er, and then looked at Liu Ruoxue and Zhongli Yiyi and said with a smile: "The two female donors have come to the temple for the first time, and they always have to go to the Guanyin Hall to offer incense and ask for a good marriage, and ask for a lottery. ”
After that, Master Canaan summoned a monk and led Liu Ruoxue and Zhongli Yiyi to the Guanyin Hall to make incense, and Wei Ergou also scratched and scratched to go, but Li Shu'er was eyeballed, and he immediately put out the fire.
After Liu Ruoxue and Zhong Li Yiyi left, Master Canaan looked at Yang Yi and Wei Ergou with a smile, and said: "Lao Wei sent the two female donors away, not someone else, just because Master Miaoren left a decree before his death, and wanted to give a thing to someone who was destined, and today I saw the two little masters, and I felt that I was the destined person in the mouth of Master Miaoren, and I was willing to give it away, and I hope that the two little masters will not ......have to resign."
"That's a must, the master's face must be given, but, what the hell is it, haha" Before Yang Yi could speak, Wei Ergou on the side heard that he was eating for nothing and playing for nothing before leaving to give a souvenir, and said that this Shuiyue Temple was too open, so he quickly took over the conversation with a smile on his face.
