Sanzanglou is free of board and lodging for monks, this place is not only good food, the environment is quiet, and it must be very comfortable to live. Dao Ran was not hypocritical, and directly opened a room in Sanzang Building, and lived in it with peace of mind.

Putting aside the large basket of gold and silver, it is estimated that no one would have thought that this inconspicuous basket contained a huge sum of money.

Daoran took a comfortable bath and washed off the dirt all over his body.

After changing his clothes, Dao Ran took out the bronze bowl again and began to slowly recite the mantra of the past life.

During the day, the dispute with Shenxiu in Sanzanglou seemed to be completely ignored by Daoran.

The three-eyed old ghost Ma San couldn't help but pop his head out of the copper bowl and listen to the Taoist chanting with a face full of enjoyment.

In two days, thousands of rebirth mantras were recited, and Ma San still showed no signs of being exceeded, but his illusory body became much more solid. Originally, there was only a faint outline, but now it has become translucent jelly-shaped.

Not only that, but judging from his appearance, Ma San seems to be much younger, from an old man in his sixties and seventies to a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties.

Dao Ran felt that the situation was a little wrong, and finally recited the mantra of the past life, and asked Ma San, "Master Ma, do you have any special feelings?" Has there been any change in the body? ”

Ma San showed a thoughtful expression, and then said: "The villain feels very good, his body is light and fluttering, as if he will be blown away by the wind at any time, but after listening to the master's chanting, I feel that my body has strength." ”

With that, Ma San flew out of the copper bowl directly, floated to the table, and picked up the copper bowl. Although it looks a little difficult, you can barely fly with both hands in your hands.

Dao Ran didn't know what to say, how to become a ghost refining in a good way, and if he continued to read it, Ma San was afraid that he would not become a ghost immortal.

Dao Ran really couldn't figure out what was wrong, could it be that he had memorized a few pronunciations wrong when he was learning the mantra of the past life?

"Master Ma, the little monk is not proficient in his arts, I'm afraid he won't be able to surpass you." Said apologetically.

When Ma San heard this, he said with a frightened expression: "Master, please don't give up the villain, the villain is very easy to feed, you don't need to eat or drink, you don't need anything." If the master doesn't want to recite the scriptures to the villain, then the villain won't listen. Villain...... The villain can be a cow and a horse for the master, just to stay with the master. ”

Ma San was so anxious that the third giant eye on his forehead was foggy, as if he was about to cry.

It turns out that ghosts can cry too, it's really a long insight.

Daoran sighed, Ma San had been abused for too long before his death, and he had only read him the scriptures for a few days, so he regarded himself as a dependent.

"Amitabha, the monks don't speak, don't worry, Master Mashi, since the little monk has promised to surpass you, he will naturally not break his word." Daoran comforted.

"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!" Ma San knelt in front of Dao Ran and kowtowed repeatedly.

If he weren't a ghost now, the strength of this kowtow would have broken the eyeballs on his forehead.

Dao Ran helped Ma San up, he didn't dare to recite the death spell, he had to think of another way to surpass this undead.

The meaning of the death spell is to appease the dead and let them let go of their obsessions.

Now that there's something wrong with the afterlife spell, maybe you can change the way to appease it?

Dao Ran asked Ma San to return to the copper bowl, and left the room with the guy who was eating.

The monk's robe on Daoran's body is still plain, but compared with the dust and dust when he first arrived in Hangzhou City, now he has a feeling of being reborn.

The people who passed by Daoran, whether they were men or women, couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Who is this little monk and how can he be so good-looking?

When he obtained the Treasure Solemn Talent five years ago, Dao Ran was used to the feeling of being watched, and he could politely nod to everyone.

Such an indifferent posture makes people feel extraordinary, like a monk who has seen through the world.

Dao Ran went downstairs and was about to walk out, when he suddenly heard someone behind him: "Master Dao Ran, please stay." ”

Dao Ran turned his head and saw a scholar in a plain blue Confucian robe standing behind him.

"Mr. Gongsun?" Dao Ran said a little surprised.

This person was with Shenxiu, watching Dao Ran finish the table full of dishes from Hangzhou.

Looking at his appearance, it seems that he stayed in Sanzang Tower after lunch and never left, is he waiting for him?

"Master Dao Ran also knows about me?" Gongsun Ce said politely.

Dao Ran said calmly: "I only met once at noon today, and the little monk naturally recognizes it." ”

"However, I didn't report my name to Master Dao Ran at that time......" Gongsun Ce's expression was a little embarrassed as he said halfway through.

Gongsun Ce is also a smart person, and he has already guessed that his conversation with Shenxiu has been listened to by Daoran.

But at that time, Gongsun Ce and Daoran were more than three feet apart, and he deliberately lowered his voice to talk to Shenxiu, how could ordinary people hear their conversation from such a distance?

Could it be that this little monk actually practiced the rumored Buddhism?

Looking at Dao Ran's face carefully, although it is immature, it has an almost divine brilliance, and it doesn't look like a mortal no matter how you look at it.

It seems that he has really met a Buddhist monk.

"The monk was in front of him, and Gongsun Ce was ashamed. At that time, I listened to Master Shenxiu's one-sided words and misunderstood the Daoran monk, so I'm really sorry. Gongsun Ce said politely.

"Amitabha, no one in the world is perfect in terms of deeds, no one in the world. Mr. Gongsun was just suspicious of the little monk, and he didn't do anything rude, so there is no need to apologize. Daoran said.

Dao Ran is not the kind of character who will kill the whole family when others look at him, so naturally he will not take this little thing to heart.

"I really admire Master Daoran's magnanimity. It's just that I've heard that Buddhism pays attention to the clarity of the mind, and it should be based on the mind regardless of the traces, so why did the Venerable Master do the opposite? Gongsun Ce asked.

"Just because the little monk has not yet practiced his heart, what the naked eye sees is only the appearance, and if he does not see his heart, how can he talk about the heart? Knowing one's own heart, not others. If one day, the little monk cultivates to become a Buddha and can understand people's hearts, then he is qualified to say a word about the heart. Daoran explained.

When Gongsun Ce heard this, he only felt that the little monk in front of him was different from the monk he had seen before.

Even the Shenxiu monk likes to quote scriptures and scriptures to increase persuasiveness when talking about Buddhism on weekdays, in order to use his own set of principles to persuade others and spread Buddhism in the name of beauty.

Dao Ran is different, this little monk is obviously knowledgeable, but he is so humble.

Gongsun Ce felt that Dao Ran was right, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and before they become Buddhas, who can see it really?

How can you judge right and wrong when you can't even see something?

As a general judge in Hangzhou, Gongsun Ce is also in charge of prison litigation, and it is often difficult to distinguish between black and white in the cases he handles on weekdays.

I once saw the human tragedy of the son killing his mother, and what the son of man said was that he couldn't bear to see his mother paralyzed in bed, suffering day and night, so he ended his mother's life to help her get free.

If it is a matter of heart, this person seems to be out of filial piety and should be innocent.

But after careful investigation, I heard that this person was idle on weekdays, and his mother was paralyzed in bed, and it was precisely because this person failed to ask for money that he beat his mother to serious injury.

However, this is only a rumor, and there is no physical evidence.

Gongsun Ce didn't sleep for several days, and after thinking about it, he couldn't confirm the truth of what this person said, whether he was a true filial son or a murderer of his mother.

After a long delay, the man contracted a cold in prison and died in the end.

Until now, Gongsun Ce can't tell right from wrong.

Hearing Daoran's words just now, Gongsun Ce suddenly became enlightened. He is just a mortal, not a Buddha, how can he hope to gain insight into people's hearts?

Knowing the heart is your own heart.

As long as you uphold the principle of fairness and strictness, and judge the case only with evidence, it does not matter whether it is right or wrong.

Gongsun Ce bowed deeply to Dao Ran, and said gratefully: "Thank you to the monk for solving your doubts." ”

Daoran clasped his hands together and saluted back: "Mr. Gongsun is serious. However, Mr. Gongsun stopped the little monk, it wouldn't be to discuss the law with the little monk, right? ”

Gongsun Ce stood up straight again and said to Daoran: "Originally, I just wanted to get acquainted with the monks, but now, I want to invite the monks to stay in my house for a few days. ”

"Why?" Daoran asked.

Gongsun Ce took two steps closer and whispered: "Lingyin Temple is bound to win this Dharma discussion conference, and it is necessary to send Master Shenxiu to participate in the Dharma discussion to make a splash at the conference."

"But Master Shenxiu was instructed by the monk you, and I am afraid that I will lose more than win on the day of the Fa. Lingyin Temple will never sit idly by, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to the monks. ”

"Mr. Gongsun is a general judge in Hangzhou, do they dare to commit murder in front of Mr. Gongsun's eyes?" Daoran asked strangely.

Lingyin Temple is so powerful, even if you are not afraid of the judgment, then the prefect of Hangzhou may not be enough.

"It's not enough to commit murder, but getting some laxatives into the food of the monks and monks, or harassing people at the door for several days in a row, so that people can't rest, this kind of trivial matter is not easy to arrest people, but it will greatly affect people's spirits, so when you participate in the Fa discussion conference, I am afraid you will suffer." Gongsun Ce explained.

Daoran: ......

This Lingyin Temple, is this the means done?

Fahai, Fahai, are you old and confused, and you let your apprentices worship this kind of person as a teacher?

Dao Ran is very grateful to Gongsun Ce, this is not only a reminder, but also to personally help him prevent these troubles.

No matter how much Lingyin Temple attaches importance to this Dharma discussion conference, it does not dare to go to the general judge's house to make trouble.

The two of them just met in Pingshui, and it is very rare to be able to achieve this level.

But Dao Ran was not prepared to trouble Gongsun Ce.

First, Dao Ran didn't come to attend the Dharma Conference.

When he was in Jinshan Temple, Fahai never told his disciples about this. Dao Ran thought about it, probably because Fahai has a hard fist but a stupid mouth, and it is easy to overturn when discussing the law with others, or it is more suitable for him to swing his fist.

Therefore, there is no atmosphere of Dharma discussion in Jinshan Temple, and on weekdays, the brothers and sisters are all doing their own penance, and if they don't understand, they ask Fahai in private, and then they are driven to retreat or copy Buddhist scriptures.

What law do you talk about, what scriptures do you argue?

It's better to practice honestly, and when you're tired to the point where your mind is empty, you'll naturally come to your senses.

Since he didn't participate in the Dharma Conference, the small means of Lingyin Temple would be meaningless.

Second, there are too many things in Dao Ran that mortals can't see.

The bronze bowl contains a powerful ghost, and when practicing the Heavenly Dragon Babu Talisman Mantra, it is very likely to grow four arms. When the time comes, I am afraid that if I will scare Gongsun Ce to death, then the sin will be great.

"Mr. Gongsun's kindness, the little monk understands it. Please rest assured, the little monk came to Hangzhou, not to participate in the Dharma Conference, and there will be no conflict with Lingyin Temple. ”

"Didn't you come to the Dharma Conference? What is the so-called matter that monk came all the way to Hangzhou, if I can help, I will definitely go all out. Gongsun Ce said.

"That's really a coincidence, the little monk just needs Mr. Gongsun's help with something."

"Please."

"Please Mr. Gongsun, help me buy a good piano." Dao Ran said very seriously.
