Chapter 32 The Pure Land of Buddhism
Fuyun Temple covers an area of dozens of acres, the blue bricks and green tiles are majestic, and the green pines and ancient cypresses are shady.
As soon as Feng'er and his entourage arrived at the door, a little novice had already reported to the big monk. After a while, a middle-aged monk with a shiny face greeted him.
The monk folded his hands together and said:
"Amitabha! I don't know how many donors have arrived, and they are not far away. The abbot traveled far away, and the little monk called Wuchen, and neglected the donors, sins, sins!"
Feng'er also folded his hands and said: Amitabha!
The monk Wuchen asked:
"I don't know where the donors are going, whether they are visiting or lodging in the small temple on the way?"
Feng'er looked at the monk, his face was ruddy and not vegetable, his eyes were rolled over and over again, not as steady as a monk, and he couldn't help but muttered a little in his heart. Answered:
"We are going to the capital, I have heard that your temple has the old appearance of the Tang and Song dynasties, and the incense is vigorous, so we are here to add some incense, and we don't plan to ask the master to clean up the scripture room. ”
Monk Wuchen looked at Feng'er dressed up as a flower, and thought to himself: Just these little flowers, what incense money can they have, and I will thank the Buddha if I don't steal my incense money, and I don't insist on staying overnight. Said:
"Amitabha! Since the donor is here to add incense, then feel free. This temple is a pure land of Buddhism, except for fasting, there is no delicious hospitality for everyone. ”
Yao Xiucai saw that the monk was not too hot, and stepped forward and said:
Everything is reincarnated, and the Buddha is destined to be a person. My heart is to the Buddha, why do you stop entering the door?"
Wuchen glanced at Yao Xun and found that he was neatly dressed, like a boy, and there was still a servant carrying a bag behind him. So he turned his face and smiled:
"Amitabha! The donor has misunderstood. The poor monk was afraid that the cold temple would not entertain well, and the fast meal had wronged the donor. Since the donor did not dislike it and came with me, the poor monk instructed the layman to get some meat and food for a few donors to use. ”
Yao Xun clasped his hands together and said:
"Thank you, Master!"
Then he followed the monk and strode into the temple gate. While walking and chanting poetry:
"You don't need mountains to escape the world, and the empty door is busy today. If the Buddha is interested, he will stay in the Buddha Hall tonight. ”
Du Ling looked at Feng'er and whispered:
"It is said that the four major members of the family are empty, and it turns out that they are also so disgusted with the poor and love the rich. ”
Feng'er smiled: "Bodhisattvas also like rich people. ”
Ah Niu whispered, "Bald donkey!"
Walking into the main hall, there were already three businessman-like people sitting and laughing on the side, accompanied by two monks, and six or seven servants standing aside.
Seeing someone come in, the three merchants stood up and nodded.
Wuchen brought them into the Buddha hall and instructed the little novice to sit and make tea.
Wuchen clasped his hands together and said:
"Amitabha! The donors have a little rest here, and the poor monks go to the hall to arrange for the laymen to prepare some wine and food, and they will come as soon as they go. ”
The crowd said, "Master, please!"
Wuchen said Amitabha Buddha again, turned around and went to the hall.
Yao Xun invited Ziwei to see the Forest of Steles, and Ziwei said:
"It's getting late, the inscription looks vague, and you can't distinguish the dragon and snake, so it's better to look at it tomorrow morning." ”
Yao Xun didn't say anything anymore, took out a book with him, sat down next to the ever-bright lamp, and read it seriously.
Ah Niu is in a hurry, even if he is usually used to it, around this Buddha hall, he does not dare to be arbitrary. Guarding these many people, I was embarrassed to ask the monk about it, so I had to run out in a hurry and wander around to find a latrine.
The three businessmen were extremely talkative, and although they were quite surprised that a few young people named Hanako came to stay in the temple without wind or rain, they still took the initiative to talk to Feng'er. Ziwei's father was a silk merchant, and he had more of a common language than the others and the three of them.
Little Shami looked like he was fourteen or fifteen years old, with a light on his head, and he didn't dare to look up in front of the living, and his two eyes hid like a little mouse. only stared at Du Ling and looked straight at him, maybe because of his similar age, or because Du Ling's appearance was a little charming.
Du Ling glared at Xiao Shami, his right hand clenched into a fist and swung it, Xiao Shami lowered his head in fright, twisted his face and hid a little farther away.
At this time, Wuchen walked into the Buddha hall, clasped his hands and said:
"Amitabha! The meal is ready to stop, please come with me to the dining hall. ”
Everyone folded their hands and replied, "Amitabha!"
Feng'er said to Ziwei: "You go with the master first, Ah Niu has not come back from the thatched house, I will wait for him at this door." ”
Ziwei and Du Ling had to stay and wait, and Feng'er persuaded them to come over.
Feng'er recited Amitabha Buddha silently more than 20 times at the door, and Ah Niu walked from the back of the hall with his legs crossed.
Feng'er thought that Ah Niu was injured, and hurriedly asked:
"Ah Niu, what's wrong with you?"
Ah Niu looked at the wind, stretched out his head to look at the Buddha hall, and said with a shy face:
"I ...... I peed my pants. ”
Feng'er snorted out laughing and said:
"Are you still young? I don't have any patience at all, and I'm not afraid that others will laugh off my big teeth when I say it. ”
Ah Niu blushed and said:
"No, I saw a person next to the back Buddha Hall, sneaky, it seemed that the figure was familiar and chased over, and when I chased it to the stele forest, I disappeared, and I don't know when I peed my pants. ”
Feng'er was stunned when she heard this, and asked:
"A familiar figure, this place is so far away from Yancheng, will you meet acquaintances?"
Ah Niu scratched his ears and cheeks, and said:
"I don't know, it just feels familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere, anyway, it's not a good person, otherwise how would I run?"
Feng'er asked again:
"Who could it be?
Ah Niu said: "I'm not sure if it's him, the figure looks very similar." ”
Feng'er asked anxiously:
"Like whom?"
Ah Niu patted his brain and said:
"I remember, it's the sworn brother of Nasua, Lu Aqi!"
Feng'er was shocked when she heard this:
"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap!"
Ah Niu asked suspiciously:
"You mean he dares to frame us? I think he's looking for death!"
Feng'er said, "We have to be more careful. ”
