Chapter 44, Guangfu Hui Ke
Wei Wencheng's soul returned to his body, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Monk Yuan Song staring at him in a daze, and when he saw him recover, the expression on his face was joyful, and he seemed to be a little disappointed. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Wei Wencheng is strange, you see that I have come to life, you should be happy, but what is the matter with this fleeting regret?
He immediately asked, "When will I go?" and Monk Yuan Song replied, "It's only half a pillar of incense...... Thou hast gone to the underworld?"
Wei Wencheng understood, daring to love himself for not long after leaving the soul, Yuan Song suspected that he wanted to enter the underworld unsuccessfully, so he shook back with the land, so he was quite disappointed. So he smiled and said: "I have entered the underworld, and I have seen Shentu enter reincarnation, and I have sat down with Yamamara to talk about it for a long time - the time of the underworld is different from the world, so I returned early." ”
Yuan Song was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "What is the situation in the underworld, can I hear about it?"
Wei Wencheng said in his heart that the situation in this underworld, I can tell you, but I can't tell the truth about everything, first, the matter of the "King of the Realm" is too involved, and I haven't been able to fully understand it, and second, I ...... King Yama's attention is all on the "King of the Realm", and he hasn't talked to me much except for a few sentences when he broke up, which seems that I am too insignificant.
After thinking about it, it's better to say this:
I first followed Shen Tujia to see the land, and then Shen Tujia decided to give up this life, so he fell into the underworld, and I jumped down with it. After entering the underworld, I saw only smoke, no human figure on the other side, and my memory and even self-consciousness began to decline, but fortunately, I recited the scriptures in time...... The scriptures are discussed to ensure that the Lingtai is clear. In the process of chanting, the fog cleared, and I saw a huge long bridge leading to the other side, and I walked along the long bridge, and finally met Yamara, the lord of the underworld......
Yamara was very surprised when he saw me, and said that he could not see clearly the scenery of my past life and the feelings of the next life, and that he thought that he would have great merit and great blessings, and asked me to hurry back and practice in a good life, and not to set foot in the underworld easily. I pleaded to see the sight of reincarnation, so Yamara showed me the six realms......
Shen Tujia entered the **, reincarnated, and still behaved. Then Yamara encouraged me a few more words, and then as soon as I raised my hand, I was in a trance, and immediately woke up and returned to the yang world.
Yuan Song asked him carefully about the situation of the six **, and couldn't help but puff his hands and praise: "Senior brother is very human, and he has not been a bodhisattva incarnation?
He said that many monks in the world used hell and torture to deceive the believers, so if you lure the believers to worship the Buddha devoutly, saying that in this way they will not go to hell, they will not be tortured, and they will return to humanity, but they still want the believers to give a large amount of alms, threatening that if they cannot make offerings to the monks, they will fall into Hell...... What is the difference between this kind of evil behavior and fraudsters? If we can't expose their true colors and eliminate their ghost tricks, I am afraid that the world will first become a ghost realm......
"I want to return to Chang'an in the west, preach the right path, interfere with the powerful, and ban all evil and delusional theories-senior brother is willing to go with him?"
Wei Wencheng said that since you have made this decision, then work hard, and I wish you a long-cherished wish. But I won't go, this trip is to go to Handan Guangfu Temple to meet Master Hui Ke on the order of the teacher, it is impossible to give up halfway, change the route and go to Chang'an with you.
The two monks discussed again for a while, and finally the light brightened. When the morning light was still faint, I saw a few Zhuang Ding and the outside of the ancestral hall probing their brains, Wei Wencheng stretched out his hand and pointed: "You can send a message to Master Hu, go sneaky." ”
The time was not long, Hu Zhuang and Gu Dian signed together to the ancestral hall, and the monk Yuan Song pointed to the confession and said to them that there was indeed a ghost who came last night and cut off a spiritual card, but then the two of us touched this ghost with profound Buddhism, and finally let him let go of his grudge and promised not to be strange in front of people......
"However," Wei Wencheng interrupted Yuan Song's words in time, and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "This matter is in the Hu family!"
At the moment, the true identity of the ghost and the reason for the enmity with the Hu family were revealed, and Hu and Gu were shocked. Wei Wencheng immediately said, the result of our negotiation with the ghosts, we want the Hu family to return the relics of Shen Tujia that have been taken away, re-bury them, and build a small temple in the burial place to sacrifice during the New Year's Festival.
Originally, they could tell the truth to Lord Hu Zhuang, and this matter was over, and since Shen Tujia had been reincarnated, he would definitely not come out to make trouble again. But after discussing it twice, this matter was originally provoked by the Hu family, good and evil are rewarded, if we don't pay a little price and make a little expression, even if Shen Tujia no longer investigates, the two of us feel uncomfortable. You might as well tell the Hu family like this, like this, and so.
Wei Wencheng asked Yuan Song with a smile at the time: "This is also a lie, and the vulgar people are also bullied, what can we monks do?" Yuan Song said that you don't think I am a rubber pillar drummer, the reason why I hate many monks in the world is not that they deceive the believers, but that the purpose of their deception of the monks is to gather offerings and enjoy themselves. If the Hu family does something wrong, they should be punished, heaven will not be punished, the earth will not be punished, the Buddha will not be punished, and Shen Tujia will not be punished, then let me wait to punish them.
That's why they made demands on the Hu family. The owner of Hu Zhuang was suspicious, but when he saw that only one tablet was split on the confession, the rest were all fine, and second, it didn't cost much to build a small temple to worship Shen Tujia...... After thinking about it, he immediately arched his hand and said: "It is like respecting orders, but I am afraid that he will not keep his promise, and ask the two mages to drown for a few days......"
I know if what you said is true or false? If the new tomb and the small temple are also raised, and the sacrifice to Shen Tujia is completed, and the monsters are still haunting, who will help you when the time comes? Why don't you two stay for a few more days, and wait for me to see if what you said is valid?
The two monks glanced at each other, and they all bowed their heads. So they stayed in the courtyard and stayed for half a month. In the past half a month, the Hu family really collected Shen Tujia's relics -- whether they had collected them all, then no one knew -- found a barren field outside the village that was not suitable for cultivation and buried it, and erected a small ancestral hall that was not much bigger than the land temple, and placed a tablet of "the spirit of the former Han Prime Minister Shen Tugong", and also presented several colored offerings, and invited two "senior monks" to recite the scriptures.
Wei Wencheng didn't know how to recite the scriptures at all, so he had to learn from the monk Yuan Song and memorize a copy of the "Amitabha Sutra" translated by Kumarosh. On the day of the sacrifice, the two monks wore the robes presented by the Hu family, twisted the beads, stood around the ancestral hall, recited the scriptures, and the lord of Hu Zhuang led several disciples to bow down to the spiritual seat of Shen Tujia to apologize, and implored him to be able to support the boat in the belly of the prime minister, let go of the grudge, and reincarnate as soon as possible......
These days, the tablet of the Hu family has been placed in the ancestral hall, and no one dares to guard it, but until the sixth day after the end of the sacrifice, it is still intact and undamaged. Only then did the owner of Hu Zhuang settle down and agreed to let the two monks walk.
Before leaving, they naturally offered offerings and plate fees, but Yuan Song and Wei Wencheng rejected all the brocade robes, Pilufa hats, gold, and copper coins, and only accepted a half-new monk's robe, two pairs of socks and two pairs of linen shoes, and some food. The reason why I accepted the gift of monk's robe was because the clothes on both of them were already very tattered and really unsightly, and I accepted shoes and socks because they had to walk a long way and would definitely be able to use them. Wei Wen still wanted to get some entanglement, but Yuan Song said first: "I am a monk, and we should not save money and make money." The guy wouldn't ask for it, and he was too embarrassed to reach out alone.
The two monks boarded together and walked to the south bank of the Yellow River, and then they parted ways - Yuan Song went west along the river, and Wei Wencheng looked for a boat to ferry. It is said that when he stayed in the courtyard of Hu's village, the owner of Hu Zhuang served with good wine and good food every day, although even the landlord and old wealth could not eat meat every day, the two monks could not gnaw on the chicken legs except for the first arrival and farewell, so that the main esophagus was enough every day, and there was a little oil star in the dish, and when he left the village, he could only gnaw dry food and drink cold water these days, and saw that the dry food was about to run out, and then he had to beg...... Ah no, fate. Wei Wencheng regretted it a little, and said in his heart that I should take some copper coins and go on the road again......
It's a pity that the regret medicine has nowhere to touch, and he doesn't want to be too greedy in front of Monk Yuan Song, so he can only keep slandering. Fortunately, after crossing the Yellow River, it is not far from Handan, and when you arrive at Guangfu Temple, theoretically even if it is coarse grain, there will always be your own share.
There was no more to say on this way, and arrived outside the city of Handan in a few days, and after asking someone, he went to the west of the city thirty miles away to find the Guangfu Temple. Wei Wen thought that the famous Hui Ke lived, it should be a very glorious solemn treasure temple, and when he arrived at the place, he knew that he dared to love this place compared to the Guangfu Nunnery on the edge of Taihu Lake, and there were only three entrances inside and outside, and there were less than 20 monks with hired workers.
He first handed in the letter from the monk Farang, and in a short time, a monk came out to greet him, led him to the abbot of the backyard, and met the world-famous Zen master Hui Ke.
Hui Ke is over 70 years old this year, born thin and withered, his face is full of wrinkles, sitting on the couch, because he is missing an arm, swaying as if his center of gravity is a little unstable - when he was still called Shenguang, he broke his arm in Songshan Mountain, and then he entered the door wall of Bodhidharma. Wei Wencheng stepped forward to greet him, and Hui Ke smiled slightly: "You are here." Senior Brother Tan Lin invited you, but you refused to come, why did you change the picture and return to me to release the door?"
Wei Wencheng said in his heart, hey, dare to love Hui Ke and that Tan Lin are acquaintances...... Thinking about it again, it seems that Tan Lin once said that day that if I entered Buddhism and made some progress, he might introduce me to Songshan Shaolin to follow Hui Ke. At that time, I was because Bodhidharma had already hung up, and I didn't have the opportunity to be the abbot of Shaolin under his mantle......
He immediately replied: "If you don't come to the fate, you can't return, and if you don't return, why is the Zen master blamed?"
Hui Ke laughed "haha", and Gu left and right said: "This fruit has a wisdom root, and you should not be underestimated." ”
In fact, Wei Wencheng was quite remorseful, he knew that he would enter Buddhism sooner or later, it was better to agree to Tan Lin at the beginning, and still have the opportunity to be a Shaolin disciple...... He didn't expect that he would eventually go to Songshan......
