Chapter 47 In the holy does not increase, in the mortal does not decrease

Shenxiu thought hard about how to drag Dao Ran into the Fa.

Unlike other monks in Lingyin Temple, others think that Shenxiu's demons have been hooked out, and the Fa is definitely not Daoran's opponent, but Shenxiu feels that he just didn't figure it out for a while last time, and then after the master's enlightenment, he has enlightenment, and he is no longer the original Shenxiu.

Coupled with the fact that he has become a cultivator, Shenxiu has a kind of self-confidence, feeling that his mana is boundless, just like the Buddha.

To put it simply, it's floating.

This is a necessary test for mortals who have just stepped into the path of cultivation, except for the Dao Ran.

When Dao Ran was first transformed from a mortal to a cultivator by the three-day teaching, he didn't feel the slightest bit floating. Because he knows very well that his master is an existence that can be connected to the Great Demon King who overturns the river and the sea.

What are you floating, Fahai knocked you to death with a purple gold bowl.

Shenxiu didn't have this kind of experience, he had just comprehended the Buddhist mantra from the Arhat statue, and he felt that he was the one favored by the Buddha.

There is no level of one, two, three, or four in this world, so that Shenxiu can't accurately judge the gap between himself and Dao Ran, so he has an advantage in my feelings.

Daoran sensed Shenxiu's thoughts, and also understood that the others also wanted him to have a peak duel with Shenxiu. But Dao Ran didn't want to make any extraneous branches, he had already found the location of the abbot of Lingyin Temple, in the center of the third layer of the floating platform, with several old monks of Lingyin Temple.

It's not very far, but there are a lot of people in between.

In Daoran's opinion, this Daoji Zen master is quite a monk, but he doesn't feel anything otherworldly.

The aura of a cultivator cannot be hidden, unless he has become an immortal and a Buddha, and can control his mana seamlessly, it is possible to disguise himself as a mortal without leaking flaws.

The unleaked golden body mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures is a realm that can only be achieved by cutting through all the troubles and attaining Bodhi, and the Fahai is still almost meaningful.

Unless this Daoji Zen Master is a bodhisattva incarnation, otherwise, he is very likely to be a mortal.

"It's not a cultivator, and he manages Lingyin Temple as greed, hatred, and ignorance, and he has no ability, right? How could Fahai let me practice with him? That's it, just deliver the letter. ”

Dao Ran was already impatient when he heard Shenxiu arguing with others, and after finding the target, he squeezed towards the location where Dao Ji Zen Master was.

Daoran's move shocked the entire venue.

Even the one who was discussing the Fa with Shenxiu couldn't help but look at Dao Ran, for fear that he had said something wrong and provoked this person to make a move.

Although everyone knew that Dao Ran did not sign a word, as long as he opened his mouth, each of the monks who had received the favor just now gave one, which was enough for Dao Ran to say that it was dark.

This Dao Ran Master, could it be that he finally couldn't help it?

Dao Ran really couldn't help but speak, but what he said was: "Amitabha, trouble borrowing." ”

The big monk in front of Dao Ran had already pinched the word sign in his hand and was about to hand it over, when he heard this, the whole person was stunned.

Why, this position is not easy to talk about, and you have to change the upper hand?

Dao Ran walked through a few positions, and said to the person blocking the road in front of him: "Amitabha, please borrow it." ”

There was a speechless scene at the Fa Discussion Conference, hundreds of bald heads looked at Dao Ran silently, watching him move forward little by little in the crowd, and even forgot about business.

Shenxiu frowned, not understanding what this demon monk was going to do demagogically.

Dao Ran didn't care so much, he went all the way to the goal, it took some time, and finally walked most of it.

At this time, everyone understood that Dao Ran was heading towards the abbot of Lingyin Temple.

In this wave, is it that the thief captures the king first?

Shenxiu couldn't help but clench his fists, what is this demon monk going to do to Master?!

The abbot of Lingyin Temple still looked calm and calm, but no one knew that the palm of his hand holding the rosary had begun to sweat.

"It's over, it's over, why did he come towards me? Did he find out that I was a fake? ”

Thanks to the Daoji Zen Master who has been acting diligently for several years, he has experienced many similar scenes, so this Luo Di Xiu can still maintain his composure.

But if there are any more accidents, it will be difficult to say.

This kind of performance, others didn't find out, but they couldn't hide it.

"What's the matter, it's just a mortal, this Dao Ji Zen Master is still trembling?" Dao Ran felt more and more that the situation was not normal.

Just when Dao Ran wanted to speak, the Shenxiu monk on the high platform in the center of the floating platform finally couldn't help it, and said loudly to Dao Ran: "Master Dao Ran, please stay!" ”

No matter what, it must not be allowed

Dao Ran turned his head, looked at the high platform, and said strangely: "Amitabha, what does Senior Brother Shenxiu have to say?" ”

Shenxiu was completely confused by this justified response, you are all going to my master, and you still ask for advice?!

In Shenxiu's opinion, a demon monk who relies on magic to bewitch the people will definitely find a way to get rid of Lingyin Temple, so that no one can compete with him in Hangzhou City.

This Dharma discussion conference did not go to the stage to discuss the law, and went directly to the abbot of Lingyin Temple, showing that he was uneasy and kind, and now he still looks innocent.

How can this man be so shameless?!

Shenxiu took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said to Daoran: "Master Daoran, you are a holy monk praised by everyone in Hangzhou City, why didn't you say a word at the Dharma discussion conference, aren't we worthy of debating the scriptures and discussing the Dharma with the Master?" ”

This is quite a heart-wrenching statement, this is to provoke the relationship between Daoran and other monks.

Dao Ran clasped his hands together and said calmly: "Amitabha, because the little monk has no signature, the little monk is a guest from afar, how can there be a guest who breaks the rules of the host." ”

The answer was so seamless that no one present could find fault with it.

You can't speak if you don't have a signature, the rules are set by your Lingyin Temple.

Shenxiu clenched his fists again, and couldn't help but feel a little resentful in his heart, only to blame those uncles for doing more, and now they are shooting themselves in the foot.

Shenxiu suppressed this thought and continued: "It's okay, Master Daoran, you have given your words to others, such a generous act, I believe that you will make an exception, and everyone will not be dissatisfied." No, not only will you not be dissatisfied, but I believe you are also looking forward to Venerable Dao Ran for your guidance. ”

As long as Dao Ran can cope with the battle, Shenxiu is confident that he can defeat him, so that this demon monk will admit defeat in shame in front of everyone, then his demagogic methods will naturally be self-defeating.

Dao Ran looked around, and the monks who participated in the Dharma discussion conference didn't seem to have an opinion on this statement.

The first is to be grateful, and feel that such a generous person as Dao Ran should not be restricted by words, and the second is that he has a kind of mentality in his heart to watch the excitement, hoping that Dao Ran can have a discussion with Shenxiu and divide the high and low.

Dao Ran took all of this in his eyes, sighed and said, "Since that's the case, I'll ask Senior Brother Shenxiu a few questions." ”

Shenxiu's expression suddenly became serious, and he concentrated all his energy and said to Dao Ran, "Please ask Master Dao Ran to ask the question." ”

Dao Ran stretched out his hand and pointed to a bronze mirror on the high platform, which was a decorative decoration in the venue, Dao Ran pointed to the bronze mirror and asked, "May I ask Senior Brother Shenxiu, no matter what is placed in front of this mirror, it can be reflected, but is it?" ”

"Yes, yes." Shenxiu replied immediately.

Dao Ran asked again: "Then after moving things, can there be an afterglow on the mirror?" ”

"No...... The poor monk understands that this is what things come and should be, and the past does not leave the meaning, and Master Daoran is really profound in Buddhism. Shenxiu replied confidently.

When the monks heard this, they all suddenly realized.

A small mirror, even contains this kind of Zen, listening to these two answers, really benefited a lot.

Monk Daoran asked skillfully, and Monk Shenxiu answered quickly, what a chess opponent.

Daoran didn't care about Shenxiu's answer, but continued to ask: "If Zen Master Daoji, the abbot of Lingyin Temple, stands in front of the mirror, will the mirror be reflected more clearly because he is a great monk?" ”

"No, it won't."

Shenxiu still answered in seconds, but after finishing speaking, he frowned and felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Dao Ran continued: "Senior brother is right, the bronze mirror will not be clear because the great monk comes to look in the mirror, and it will not be blurred because the beggar comes to look in the mirror. Dwelling with saints without rejoicing, and dwelling with mortals without worrying is the principle that the holy does not increase, and the mortal does not decrease. Senior Brother Shenxiu, do you know what is wrong? ”

Shenxiu was silent for a moment, clasped his hands together and said, "Taught." ”

Some of the monks still didn't understand, but soon, Shenxiu said ashamedly: "A mirror, you can still do the same." In order to force your junior brother to discuss the Fa with me, the poor monk even took the initiative to break the rules of the Dharma Discussion Conference under the pretext of your special status. Such an act is the fault of the poor monk. ”

When the monks heard this, they understood, and remembered what they had just said, and they all showed ashamed expressions, and then said to Daoran in unison: "Amitabha, poor monks are taught." ”

Dao Ran saluted in return, then turned around and walked towards the abbot of Lingyin Temple.

This time, no one should stop me.

I can't help but complain, 100,000 words, 500 collections, is this book really so bad? If you can't get full attendance like this, you really don't know what to do.
