Chapter 142: Meet the Old Abbot
Lin looked down on these bandits,
Grabbed some silver wine utensils and ran away,
He ran into a city,
The city is still very lively,
There are a lot of people doing business, and there are many pedestrians.
There are a lot of poor people here,
They are poor and only wear trousers,
Basking in the sun outside shirtless,
His skin was tanned like that of a black man.
Lin asked them,
Where is so-and-so temple going?
The poor men pointed in the direction ahead,
He also said that it was not far from here.
Lin Shishi quickly came to the door of a certain temple,
He found that the temple was very lively in front of it,
There are those who do business and don't say,
And a couple of J women,
They're soliciting.
A J woman pulled a man and said,
Childe, our young lady here is very beautiful,
Come to us,
Package you are satisfied.
There are a few fans selling next to it,
It's a bustling place to buy and sell.
Lin Shishi watched carefully from the side,
At this time, there is also a wooden cage prisoner car,
Pushed over,
A man stood inside with chains,
The prisoner has his head exposed,
The prisoners also cried out for injustice,
There is also a prisoner cart next to it,
There was a woman in it,
A child cries in the back,
There are a few officials in the back of the car,
And they were carrying these two prisoner wagons,
Passing through the forest before doing things,
Although Lin loves to fight and fight,
But such an unfair thing,
It's better for Bao Qingtian to deal with it,
After all, Bao Qingtian is like a god in judging the case,
The trial of such a case is clear,
Lin Shixing saw it on the side,
He could only sigh and turn his face away,
I just don't want to see a tragic scene.
Lin said to himself,
The monastery is a place of mercy,
But these officials turned this place into a place of execution.
These officials are simply the most heinous sin,
What is it?
Lin complained about things,
Across from him was a small fish vendor,
He is very indifferent to everything,
He only cares about the fish he sells,
He can't do anything else,
He didn't want to care,
Lin complained after doing things,
Carrying his big shovel, he walked towards the temple.
The little brother who sells fish continues to shout, selling fish.
The temple that Lin did to walk into,
The area of the temple is large,
There's also a grove,
Lin was very dissatisfied with the situation outside,
Especially the two couples who were detained in the prison car,
And the crying child,
And the indifferent officials,
Lin was not satisfied with the work,
Walked into the temple in a huff,
The monks of the monastery saw him,
It all feels very strange,
Two monks saw him,
They are whispering,
I don't know what they are talking about.
Lin saw them on the other side,
He immediately walked over.
A monk on the opposite side folded his hands and asked,
Where does Senior Brother come from?
Lin did things in return,
I'm from such and such a monastery,
The elders there recommended me to come here,
Said that he could be a monk here.
The monk on the opposite side asked,
It turns out that everyone wants to be an official,
When a monk also wants to be an official,
There are really no six pure roots,
We all want to practice,
I don't want to be an official.
Lin did the work on the other side and replied,
People are different,
Monks and monks are not the same,
I'm a bit addicted to being an official,
When I was a soldier, I was only a sentry commander,
I'm also quite satisfied.
If you can be a monk and an official,
I'm more satisfied.
The two monks sneered beside them,
As if he was laughing at him for coveting the riches of the world,
When a monk still wants to be an official,
What an official fan,
And the six are not pure,
I don't know if I believe in Buddhism or be pious.
Lin doesn't talk nonsense with them when he does things,
Lin took out a letter and said,
This is the letter of the Supreme Elder to your abbot.
The monk took the letter,
Immediately led Lin to do things and walked out.
There is also an old-fashioned clock next to it,
This old-fashioned timepiece is told by shadows,
Lin Shishi followed the old monk in,
They came to a Buddhist hall,
There is a large statue in the Buddha hall,
Lin Shishi walked in and saluted respectfully.
The monk said to him,
You wait here for a while,
After a while the abbot came.
But the monk didn't understand the rules at all when he saw that Lin was doing things.
And he said unto him,
You still want to be an official, but you don't understand the rules here.
How many sutras have you read?
This stopped Lin Shishi,
Lin doesn't know how to read,
How does he read Buddhist scriptures?
It seems that the matter of being a monk is going to be in the soup,
At this time, Lin put on a robe,
Three sticks of incense were also lit,
Then he stood there and prayed silently,
The monk went inside and reported,
Lin feels that it is not easy to be a monk.
I also have to understand the Buddhist scriptures,
You also need to understand a lot of truths,
He doesn't even know how to read big characters.
I still want to be a monk,
It's really hard,
Lin did the work there and prayed for a long time,
The three sticks of incense are all burned,
Then I heard footsteps outside,
Several monks walked in,
Among them was an abbot headed by a head.
The abbot said as he walked,
It turned out to be a monk sent by the elders,
The elders haven't been in touch with us for a long time,
Suddenly a man was sent,
It seems that this person must be strange.
The monk came and said,
This is our abbot,
You come and pay homage to the abbot.
Lin immediately gave a deep salute when he did things,
Then he knelt down and bowed.
There are words in the mouth,
Worship the elders.
When he had finished speaking, he handed over the letter.
The little monk next to him took the letter,
Then it was handed to the abbot.
The old abbot looked at him,
I took the letter and looked at it.
It was written in the letter that he would take him in and give him an official.
But the abbot looked at Lin and did things,
Lin's hair grew gradually,
The beard also grew,
And he took a big shovel,
The big shovel is like a murder weapon,
How does the abbot look at it, how unpleasant,
Such a vicious monk,
How can you make him a monk?
The abbot looked at the letter with a little embarrassment.
He asked from the other side,
Lin does things, you go back and rest first,
We'll talk about it again.
It seems that the old abbot is very embarrassed,
He had to work on a good plan,
In this way, Lin was arranged.
The abbot said,
You want to be an official, a monk,
We still need to study and discuss this matter.
The old abbot said this,
At this time, I heard someone shouting outside,
The abbot is not good,
The old monk who watched the garden was beaten again.
At this time, two young monks supported an old monk,
The old monk walked in from the outside with a blue nose and a swollen face,
Everyone was shocked when they saw it.
The wounded old monk made a salute,
Report to the old abbot,
There are a few thugs in the place where I look at the garden,
These bastards are really powerful,
They fought with the old monks,
As a result, I don't know martial arts,
Beaten by these thugs.
It seems that not all of these monks know martial arts.
There will be nothing that will not,
The old monk who didn't know anything was beaten by the gangsters,
He's here to report on the situation.
The old abbot stopped on the other side and said,
Monks are not allowed to raise their voices.
The old abbot looked at the old monk,
He didn't speak,
He just sighed,
He turned around and left.
Lin asked him if he had something to do,
He immediately walked over,
To chase after the old abbot,
As a result, he was stopped by a group of monks.
A fat monk on the other side replied,
Senior brother, senior brother, let's go back and rest first.
Lin was stopped all of a sudden,
He's still embarrassed to have a seizure,
Lin had to follow the fat monk out,
A group of monks on the opposite side clasped their hands together on him,
Everybody's silent is golden,
None of them spoke,
It seems that these monks are very qualified.
Silence in the face of strong winds and waves is golden,
This is a manifestation of practice,
Lin Shixing looked at this group of monks,
Knowing that they are more religious than he is,
So don't bother them,
Instead, he went with the fat monk.
Soon it was evening,
The sun in heaven goes down the mountain,
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the temple,
Sending out golden light,
Like the Buddha's light,
Resplendent.
At this time in the hall,
A lot of monks stood there,
The old abbot said,
You are a monk in charge of the dishes,
You just call it a cabbage head,
You are a monk who is in charge of food,
You can call it a meal,
But you're not doing a good job of this head of the dish.
You manage such a big vegetable garden,
is a great responsibility,
We monks are vegetarians,
They all live off the vegetables in the vegetable field,
We can't trouble others,
There are so many monks here,
The monasteries don't have that much money,
can only be self-sufficient,
Grow your own vegetables and eat them yourself,
But you can't take care of your garden,
If this is the case, we can't solve the problem of eating in the future,
When the time comes, will you make us hungry and chanting?
The cabbage head immediately replied,
Those thugs aren't stealing vegetables,
They're grabbing vegetables,
If I knew martial arts,
The situation could be better,
But I don't know martial arts.
I can't beat them,
As a result, they beat his nose and face were swollen,
These bastards don't believe in anything else,
They only believe in martial arts,
Whoever is good at martial arts, who is the boss.
The old abbot asked on the other side,
These people only believe in martial arts,
Aren't they afraid of the government?
The government has the law of kings,
Are they not afraid of the king's law?
The fat monk next to him replied,
Report to the old abbot,
The vegetables in the vegetable garden are not only stolen by the gangsters,
There is a group of officers and soldiers nearby,
And they came and fetched it,
The government can't control them.
I don't know who can control them?
See below.
