Chapter 12: Receiving Disciples 'As They Come'!
"This is a purple and green nine-leaf bamboo, which grows a leaf every thousand years, and now it has been nine thousand years, containing a huge amount of vitality, and is the main material for making 'Hao Yuan Dan'. ”
"This is the Eight Treasures Glass Vase, send to the Buddha, I wish you a long life than the sky!"
"This is the green dragon tendon, an excellent material for making whip holy weapons......"
The people who came to watch and watched more or less brought some gifts, and at this moment they all stepped forward one by one and sent them to an eight-leaf lotus platform in front of the Buddha.
Tianyin Buddha smiled, his expression was gentle, although he didn't see these gifts, but the kindness of others, he was heartfelt.
Tang Lin stood under the lotus platform, and some of the people who came to offer their offerings would greet Tang Lin and say some words of praise.
Tang Lin responded politely one by one.
When the sun set and the ceremony ended, the ancient Buddhist temple entertained everyone to fast, and Tang Lin followed the Buddha to the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
"These gifts, you can choose at will. The Tianyin Buddha flipped his palm, and the eight-leaf lotus platform appeared in front of Tang Lin, with a mountain of gifts on it.
Tang Lin was also not polite, and rummaged carefully on it.
Some of these people who came to give gifts were more atmospheric and gave some strange treasures, while others were more stingy and only gave some materials for the production of low-grade holy weapons.
By rummaging, Tang Lin chose a piece of armor, which was a medium holy weapon, and a spirit bead, which was used to guard the mind.
Tang Lin was not greedy, and after selecting the two items that he thought were the most valuable, he didn't take more of the rest of the materials.
Tianyin Buddha put away the lotus platform, and with a wave of his palm, a seven-leaf lotus platform appeared in front of Tang Lin out of thin air, about the size of a palm, glowing with a rich treasure light, as if there were scriptures wrapped around it.
"This is a high-grade holy weapon made of the Ten Thousand Year Lotus Table, which can protect your peace. Tianyin Buddha said to Tang Lin: "You have many disasters and ups and downs in your life, and when you go out to wander in the future, this lotus platform can protect your safety." ”
Tang Lin was grateful in his heart and said, "Thank you, master!"
Tianyin Buddha smiled slightly and said: "That "Great Buddhist Sutra" has ten thousand Buddhist laws on it, you have to understand it carefully." ”
Tang Lin nodded heavily.
......
After living in the ancient Buddhist temple for a while, Tang Lin said goodbye to the Buddha and set off to leave, when he came to the mountain gate, he suddenly saw a young man in gray coarse cloth, kneeling on the steps of the mountain gate.
The young man had hemp rope shoes on his feet, which had been worn out, and the bloody skin on his feet was broken, and there were scars on his hands and body.
He knelt on the white jade staircase, his expression firm and resolute.
Tang Lin was surprised, and said to a monk and nun next to the mountain gate, "This young man is just an ordinary person, how could he come here?"
The monk and nun recognized Tang Lin and said respectfully: "Back to Uncle Tang Lin, although the Pure Land of Bliss is suspended in the sky, there is a Heavenly Peak, which can directly reach here from the Nether Realm. It's just that this Tongtian Peak is more than 10 million miles high, and it is very difficult to climb it. ”
Tang Lin was surprised: "Climbing so far just to join the Buddhist Sect?"
"Yes. The little monk and nun said respectfully.
Tang Lin looked at the young man and said, "What does he mean by kneeling here?"
"To join the Ancient Buddha Temple, you need a very high level of comprehension, as well as a heart of great compassion, in addition to this, you must also have the strength of a martial artist. The little monk and nun said respectfully.
"My Buddha is merciful and saves the world from suffering, and the Buddha door is open to anyone. Tang Lin said slowly.
The little monk and nun were stunned for a moment, and then lowered their heads in shame.
Tang Lin walked up to the gray-clothed young man and said, "Get up, from now on, you will be a disciple of Buddhism!"
The gray-clothed young man was stunned, looked at Tang Lin in surprise, and said, "Really, are you really willing to accept me?"
Tang Lin nodded and said, "This is natural. ”
He is now a disciple of the Buddha, so he naturally has the right to accept people.
The gray-clothed young man knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Tang Lin, saying, "Thank you seniors, this grace is unforgettable!"
Tang Lin smiled slightly, and said: "This is not a grace, you can trek through mountains and rivers to come and worship the Buddha, which shows the sincerity of your heart, I am just curious, why do you want to join the Buddhism?"
The gray-clothed young man lowered his head and said silently: "There is already too much grief in this world, I want everyone to land in Elysium and transcend the other side." ”
Tang Lin was surprised: "Oh?"
"I was originally the prince of a dynasty in the Nether, although I was born without worrying about food and clothing, and lived a very happy life, but the neighboring empire has always coveted it, and fought again and again, and the people were killed and injured countless times, in this chaotic war, the people died, the flowers and plants withered, and the earth was trampled by iron hooves......"
The gray-clothed young man's eyes seemed to be reminiscing, full of pain, shed tears, and said: "Flowers and plants are alive, let alone people, I want to stop the war, if everyone is equal in this world, there will be no war......
Tang Lin's heart was shocked, he didn't expect this mortal boy to have such a compassionate heart, he frowned and said: "You are a prince, why did you end up in such a field? Moreover, you haven't even opened a trick, and you are not a ...... martial artist."
The gray-clothed young man lowered his head, clenched his fists, and said: "I hate war, and I hate force even more! I had countless opportunities to become a martial god, but I gave up, what is the point of relying on force to obtain peace? In this case, what is the difference between me and those who plunder other countries?"
Tang Lin was stunned.
"Senior, please teach me the Dharma, I want to promote the kindness and compassion of Buddhism, so that the world can understand that only kindness and compassion can obtain eternal life. The gray-clad young man looked up at him wistfully.
Tang Lin was silent, and after a moment, he nodded and said, "You have the wisdom roots and compassion of Buddhism, and you have achieved extraordinary things in the future, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?"
The young man in gray was pleasantly surprised: "I do!"
Tang Lin smiled slightly, and said: "My name is Tang Lin, I am a lay disciple of Buddhism, I don't have a Dharma name, your generation is the sixteenth generation of disciples, and you belong to the character 'Ru', and you came from thousands of miles away, just to join the Buddhism, I will give you the Dharma name 'Rulai', what do you think?"
"If you come, if you come......" The gray-clothed young man muttered twice, and then his eyes lit up, and said, "Thank you, master, from now on, I will call you Rulai!"
Tang Lin smiled slightly, helped him up, and the vitality in his body flowed and injected into his body, and in an instant, the injuries on his body were healed.
"It's amazing!" said Rulai in amazement.
Tang Lin smiled, in the eyes of mortals who had not reached the martial arts, such a method was indeed almost immortal.
"I'm doing this to make you understand......" Tang Lin whispered to him: "Saving people is not only to promote kindness, but also to need strength, power is not good or evil, if it is used well, it can save people, and if it is not used well, it will harm people." ”
Rulai was stunned, and immediately woke up and said: "I see, master, the disciple has been taught!"
Tang Lin smiled slightly, stroked the top of his head with his palm, shaved off the black hair on the top of his head, and said, "From now on, you are a disciple of the Ancient Buddha Temple." ”
Rulai clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, master!"
Tang Lin said to the little monk and nun in front of the mountain gate, "Take him to the Buddha Hall to receive a salute." "The so-called gift is to put an incense mark on the top of the head.
The little monk and nun said respectfully, "Yes." ”
Tang Lin said to the gray-clothed young man: "You are my first disciple, I have something to do when I go out on this trip, there is nothing to give you, when you go in, just say that you are my disciple, and someone will arrange your residence." ”
"From now on, you will practice the Dharma here and comprehend the teachings of the Buddha. ”
Rulai said: "Thank you master, disciple remember!"
Tang Lin nodded and said, "Go ahead." ”
Rulai nodded respectfully, and then followed the little monk and nun into the mountain gate.
After Tang Lin watched him leave, he turned around and left the Ancient Buddha Temple.
"I myself was only eighteen years old, but I didn't expect to accept a disciple. Tang Lin sat on the lotus platform and flew across the sky outside the boundary of the Thirty-Three Immortal Prefectures.
"This person's surname is compassionate, full of great goodness and truth, and his achievements are definitely not low. Tang Lin smiled slightly, "No matter what, it is very rare to have a great desire to save the world." ”
......
Pure Yang Sect, located in Pure Yang Xianzhou.
Sou!
Tang Lin rode the Buddha Lotus and swept in along the Huzhou Immortal Gang, and the entire vast land of the Pure Yang Immortal Prefecture was presented in front of him.
Although it is said to be a state, it is actually vast, with more than a dozen mortal dynasties and many cultivation sects on it.
Tang Lin flew all the way, crossing countless cities, mortal dynasties along the way, and finally came to the center of the continent - Pure Yang Sect!
The Pure Yang Sect is located in the center of Dazhou, located in a spiritual stone immortal vein, with a radius of thousands of miles nearby, all of which are purple mist and rich in vitality, and the vast white clouds gather into a sea of clouds, shrouded in the mountains, like a fairyland on earth.
In the nearby mortal dynasties over the ages, many people have traveled through mountains and rivers and spent a lot of energy and time to come here and ask to join the Pure Yang Sect and learn the Immortal Sect.
Tang Lin came to the outside of the Pure Yang Sect, and from a distance, a craggy and steep mountain peak, like the teeth of a giant beast, stabbed into the sky proudly.
The peaks are undulating, and many white clouds are swirling.
Tang Lin's gaze swept away, and at the foot of a steep mountain range, he saw the mountain gate of the Pure Yang Sect. He rode the Buddha Lotus and galloped away.
There were seven or eight disciples guarding in front of the gate of this mountain, and when they saw Tang Lin falling, someone immediately stopped them, and when they saw Tang Lin sitting down, their expressions immediately became respectful, and they said, "May I ask who your Excellency is?"
"My name is Tang Lin. Tang Lin smiled.
When these seven or eight disciples heard this name, their faces immediately changed, but instead of being shocked, they were full of coldness.
"Are you Tang Lin?" the first young man stared at Tang Lin and said, "Is that Tang Lin at the Dao Conference?"
Tang Lin frowned and said, "Not bad." ”
The young man sneered, "We don't welcome you in our Pure Yang Sect, you better leave quickly, otherwise, even if you are a disciple of the Buddha, they will all take you down on the grounds that you trespassed on the mountain gate!"
Tang Lin's eyes flashed, and he said, "Why aren't you welcome?"
"Not welcoming is not welcome, where is so much nonsense?" said the young man impatiently.
