Chapter 9: Zen Machine

In the Big Buddha Temple, two days have passed since the return of the gods themselves, Yan Ji and Lin Fanjing have also woken up, Lin Fanjing is in good condition, and Yan Ji is in good condition because of the correct name of the Heavenly Dao, and the damaged divine soul in the battle with the Yellow Wolf God is no longer hindered, and there are ten more stars of divine power inexplicably.

At this moment, Yan Ji is in the Buddhist temple by Lin Fanjing to enjoy the scenery in the temple, Lin Fanjing grew up in the Buddhist temple since she was a child, and she is very familiar with the things here, and the two are of the same age, so she will do the friendship of the landlord.

"Yan Ji! Thank you so much for this incident!" On the attic walkway, what caught his eye was a piece of turquoise, green mountains and lotus ponds, Lin Fanjing turned his head to look at Yan Ji, his eyes flashed and said slowly.

"You and I are classmates, why be so polite!" Yan Ji heard the words and turned his head back with a smile.

Although he lost a few of the only divine power stars this time, with the Yellow Wolf God's divine rank rune seal and the extra ten divine power stars, there is no need to worry too much about the consumption of divine power now, not to mention that between gains and losses, compared to this harvest, compared to the loss, it is insignificant.

"Yan Ji, although I don't know what happened, but I have been sick since I was a child, and I have traveled to various hospitals, but I can grow up safely in this big Buddha temple, although we are learning atheism now, but I want to ask, is there really a ghost or god in this world?" Lin Fanjing finally couldn't help but ask at this moment.

In the past, she also asked Elder Spiegel about them, but all she got was silent, which made her helpless, and now in front of her life-saving benefactor, she asked casually, because she had unconsciously trusted Yan Ji in her heart.

"I know your doubts! If you asked me this question a month ago, I wouldn't be able to answer you, but now I can answer you, yes!" Yan Ji looked at the scenery outside the aisle, and his expression moved.

"Buddhism has a body Bodhisattva said, this body Bodhisattva refers to the monk after the death, the body does not go through any embalming treatment and does not rot, indicating that the cultivation has become a positive fruit, the descendants of the Buddhist temple to such a body brush with gold powder, accept incense, is the body of the Bodhisattva, I heard that Jiuhua Mountain has a body of the King of the Bodhisattva!"

"But I don't know the specifics, but there is a legend that said that before the Bodhisattva passed away, he was not very old, and his deeds were very deep, and one day, he felt that it was time for him to become a Buddha, so he said to the master, 'Master, I will leave in three days! His master is an old monk, and when he heard this, his face turned blank: "My master has not yet found the edge to become a Buddha, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Three days later, the little monk really bathed and sat upright and died, the old monk saw it, his heart was a little jealous, put the little monk into the cremation tank, and covered another tank, opened seven days later, the little monk sat in it, lifelike, the old monk was not convinced, picked a problem for a long time, and finally said: 'Your head is tilted to the left, if you don't move it right, you won't mold a golden body for you.'" With that, he closed the jar again. ”

"Seven days later, the old monk opened the cylinder, saw the situation in the cylinder, found another problem, his head tilted to the right again, and then the lid of the cylinder left, and after another seven days, this time the old monk could no longer find the problem, so he had to shape his golden body!" Yan Ji finished telling the story in one breath, looking at Lin Fanjing and smiling silently.

"Why haven't I heard this story? You also grew up with the same atheist education, can you explain this phenomenon?" asked Lin Fanjing.

"The body is not rotten, in fact, it is not difficult to explain, the body of a practitioner is very clean, and the decay of the corpse is generally the cause of bacterial breeding according to the current statement, but the body of a practitioner is often in a very good state, and there are no diseases and bacteria in the body, and when he is leaving, the body is extremely healthy, and in this case, it is normal for the body not to rot. Yan Ji explained.

"Then he is dead, how can he tilt his head!?" Lin Fanjing continued to ask.

"Maybe he's not dead at all, it's just that his soul is gone, and in another space, he still has a little care, a little connection, do you know the Sixth Ancestor Huineng?" Yan Qi suddenly asked.

"Of course I do!" Although Lin Fanjing wondered why Yan Ji suddenly asked like this, she grew up in a Buddhist temple and was nurtured by several elders, so she can be regarded as a layman, and she is of course very clear about the founder of Zen Buddhism.

"Then do you know that Master Huineng gave a lecture to his disciples before his death, saying that he would pass away, and the disciples wept bitterly, but God would not be sad or happy, do you know what Master Huineng said?" Yan Ji continued to ask.

"Master Huineng said, only God will, discredit, you have been practicing in the mountains for several years, all in vain, you are crying, but you don't know where I'm going, if I don't know where I'm going, how can I say goodbye to you! ”

Without waiting for Lin Fanjing to answer, Yan Ji continued, but after speaking, he felt a little inappropriate, so he added.

In fact, his last paragraph is to say that he looks at the perception of Buddhist monks from the eyes of the world, and the expression is not accurate, after all, Yan Ji has never practiced Buddhism, and there will definitely be a big deviation in describing Master Huineng's words in secular language.

Lin Fanjing fell into deep thought after hearing this, and Yan Ji didn't bother, this kind of thing still has to be understood by herself, after all, she is too deeply influenced by atheism.

"The donor is so perceptive!" At this time, an old monk came out of the attic of the corridor, and said to Yan Ji.

"Yan Ji! I've seen a great monk!" Yan Ji turned his head and saw that it was an old monk, but his bearing was extraordinary, and he hurriedly returned the salute!

"I've seen the abbot!" At this time, Lin Fanjing woke up from his contemplation, saw the person who came, and also bowed, calling him the abbot.

"Master Yan and Master Lin are both honored guests of Uncle Mingjing in my temple, why be polite, please sit inside, Lao Wei just made a pot of tea, please taste it together!"

In the meditation room, the furnishings are very simple, an offering table, a square table, four chairs around, the abbot invited the two to sit down, picked up the teapot himself, and poured a cup of tea for the two.

"Abbot, I'm coming, please take a seat!" Lin Fanjing saw the abbot's movements, and hurriedly stood up to take over the work of pouring tea, for this old abbot, Lin Fanjing is still very respectful, when she was in the Buddhist temple, his old man also took care of her.

"Just sit down! I am the host, you are a guest, although you grew up in my temple, but your parents are pilgrims in my temple, and you, as the child of the Lin donor, should also be a guest! Besides, although I am old, my muscles and bones are acceptable, and I can still do this little work!" the abbot smiled.

"Master Abbot has a hundred zhang style!" Yan Qi said suddenly.

"Yan Shizhu has won the award, Baizhang Zen Master advocates a ri does not do, a ri does not eat, open my Buddhism first, Tang Wuzong will Chang Fa difficult, Zen Men because of the new rules of Baizhang and survive, Lao Wei is just a normal person to do things, should not be a hundred zhang reputation. The abbot looked at Yan Ji and laughed.

"Come, how about tasting Lao G's tea!"

Yan Ji picked up the cup, took a sip, and smiled silently.

Lin Fanjing because of the recovery of the body, and after a while, a little thirsty, also picked up the quilt, blew a breath, and drank it, frowning, to be honest, this tea is a little bitter, and there is no fragrance, her family is superior, when she was at home, she was influenced by Lin Jinzhong and drank tea, the tea at home is the best tea that is hard to find, compared to the abbot's tea, it can be said that it is different from cloud and mud.

But now it's afternoon, and I'm thirsty in my mouth, and although the tea is bitter, it also has some aftertaste.

"How about this tea?" the abbot looked at Yan Ji, then at Lin Fanjing, and asked.

"This tea is bland, but it's a thirst-quenching remedy. Lin Fanjing said a little embarrassed, she can't say that this tea is very bitter, right?

"Lin Jushi is a sincere heart, a blessed man!" the abbot nodded with a smile, and looked at Yan Ji after speaking.

Yan Ji smiled and didn't speak, just picked up the cup and took another sip, still silent.

"Yan Shi Zhu is really a body with wisdom roots, and I have a fate with my Buddha, but it is a pity that I see Yan Shi Master already has a martial arts, otherwise if I practice my Buddhism, the Buddha will be a thousand miles a day. The abbot's eyes flashed, and he said with some regret.

"Master Abbot has a reputation, I am a dusty person, and I will eventually return to the world!" Yan Ji smiled bitterly in his heart, he still has his parents alive, and he has a divine heritage, if he suddenly runs away to become a monk, not to mention how his parents explain it, even he can't accept it.

"The donor is in a bustling city, is his heart also in the bustling?" the abbot smiled, not caring.

"The abbot is right, being in a no-man's land, being in a no-man's land, being in a no-man's land, like being in a no-man's land!" Yan Ji's heart moved, and his face showed a look of joy.

The two looked at each other and smiled, but Lin Fanjing on the side was confused.

At this time, Yan Ji suddenly turned his head to look out the window, only to see a light in the sky invisible to the naked eye from far to near, and fell into the meditation room in the blink of an eye.

Yan Ji put away the brilliance without moving, and a message rose from his heart, it turned out that the capital Chenghuang invited him to the Chenghuang Palace.

Thinking of the few unresolved doubts in his heart, Yan Ji had the idea of leaving.

"Thank you Master Abbot for your hospitality today, and thank you for taking care of your temple for a few days, I have something urgent to leave first, and I will visit another day!" Yan Ji got up and said.

"Master Yan Shi wait, this is what Uncle Ming Spiegel ordered me to hand over to you before the retreat, saying thank you for your help this time, he said that the things in it will be useful to you, Uncle Yan also said, just take it as a good fate with Lord Yan Shi!" The abbot seemed to have been prepared, and there was no surprise about Yan Ji's departure, he got up and picked up a carved wooden box from the offering table and handed it to Yan Ji and said.

"Oh, since that's the case, then ask the abbot to thank Elder Mingjing on my behalf!" Yan Ji took the wooden box, his heart moved, knowing that the contents were extraordinary, and solemnly thanked him!

"Wait, I'll go back with you, you don't have a car, it's convenient to go back together!" Lin Fanjing said suddenly at this time.

Yan Ji glanced at Lin Fanjing, and when he saw that the other party looked serious, he nodded and agreed.
