Chapter 20: Dare to Ask the Elders the Secret of High Life?

"This is a treasure land, and the aura is good." Fahai said to Wukong on the side: "Today, with the help of this mountain aura cultivation, the teacher will help you again, maybe you can connect the meridians all over your body, and also make your cultivation go further." ”

Wukong was overjoyed when he heard his master's words, "This is the first time I've seen a place where serious people live after walking in the barren mountains for a long time... It doesn't hurt for my grandson to suffer a little, but now it's time for Master to sleep in bed all night... Why don't you stop here for a few more days? ”

Fahai shook his head and said, "You cunning, staying for a day is fate, and you still want to live here for a long time... You take away the brute nature, don't collide with the elders in the courtyard, maybe let you stay for a few more days, I don't know. ”

While chatting, he also walked to the door.

It is really a blessed place, look at it from afar, you can see layers of palaces, the top of the mountain is covered by colorful clouds, the red mist is gorgeous, the pines and cypresses are continuous all the way, or quiet, or proud.

The bells and drums in the temple rang from the tall buildings, and the Buddha's voice could be heard in the floating temple... The so-called Anzen monks are qualitative, and the sound of trees and birds is idle, but it is also a pure land in the world.

Walk closer, look up, see the four words "Guanyin Zen Temple".

Fahai, Wukong, and the little white dragon all stopped.

"It turned out to be a dojo palace dedicated to the Bodhisattva." Wukong exclaimed: "Since she is a Bodhisattva, my grandson will worship her twice." ”

The little white dragon who turned into a white horse snorted on the side, meaning that he was also one of them.

Fahai silently recited "Amitabha" in his heart and greeted the two disciples, "Let's go to the main hall to worship the Buddha." ”

There are guests from afar, or fellow monks, the welcome monk at the gate of the temple will greet him, see the Fahai instrument Yu Xuanang, outstanding temperament, then know that he is a high monk, smiled and asked: "Where does the master come from?" ”

Fahai clasped his hands together, which was regarded as a salute: "The poor monk is the East Tuqincha, and he goes to the Leiyin Temple to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures." At this point, it will be late, and I want to borrow the brake for a night. ”

When the guest heard that it was a high-ranking monk from a big country, he was even more polite and said, "The master has entered, and the disciple has gone to pass on the abbot elder of the hospital." ”

"Good!"

Fahai entered the courtyard with the welcoming monks, and the monks looked at them and whispered in secret one after another.

"Ah——!h

If it's just Fahai, it doesn't matter.

But a hairy monkey came out behind him, startling the monks in the courtyard, the great sage looked weird, with a hairy face and the appearance of Lei Gong's mouth, which frightened the monks not lightly, and even some timid ones have begun to shout: "Grandpa Lei is here, Grandpa Lei is here!" ”

"Flustered about what?" There was a calm old monk's voice in the hall, and then I saw a quite capable old monk, surrounded by a group of large and small monks, turned out of the hall, and those monks who were originally flustered also quieted down, it seems that the old monk is the backbone of this Guanyin Zen Temple.

Unexpectedly, when the old monk saw the great sage, he also exclaimed: "What is this?" ”

"Huh?" Wukong narrowed his eyes, as if he was having a seizure.

Fahai secretly saw that this old monk was not young, he had studied Buddhism for a long time, and he had also cultivated a little mana, he thought he was a steady elder, but he was also a frivolous person who judged people by his appearance.

If you cultivate Buddhism, you can see the change of color of the spirit, which shows that his cultivation is not profound.

Moreover, as the abbot elder of the "Guanyin Monastery", saying such words from his mouth has nothing to do with the depth of his practice, it is a lack of virtue.

Even if you say, "What kind of spirit is this", it is better than "what is this"...

Fahai has taken a look at this Guanyin Monastery all the way, a deep mountain temple, but it is so splendid and prosperous, whether it is the bluestone under the feet, or the fragrant wood built by the temple, it is the world's precious.

One step further, I saw the statue of Guanyin enshrined in the main hall, which was carved from the best mutton fat.

There is also the old monk in front of him, wearing a brocade velvet shirt, the gold edge of jade hair is shining, a pair of monk shoes to save eight treasures, and a cane embedded with clouds and stars... This appearance is not comparable to when he was the abbot of Jinshan Temple.

Fortunately, Fahai has 10,000 scriptures in his belly, and he doesn't need these external objects to decorate, and he is surrounded by Buddha nature, and his aura is overflowing... It is a genuine monk.

If you say that when you first saw it, you still said that this is a pure land outside the world, but you only walked a dozen steps... Fahai couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that the temples in the world, whether they were dedicated to the true Buddha or the Bodhisattva, were all places to collect money.

Not to mention what else hides dirt and dirt.

Guanyin is compassionate, and his good name spreads the Three Realms, but this Guanyin Monastery is acting like this, I am afraid that it will also lose the Bodhisattva's teachings.

Wukong saw that the master had not stopped him, so he stepped forward, but now he also knew a little bit of proportion, just put a monkey face in front of the old monk's eyes, and laughed: "What am I?" So I'll tell you to take a good look at what I am..."

The elder took several steps back one after another, unable to hide the horror in his heart.

Fahai said that the siege was resolved: "Wukong, you step down... Let you be frightened, this is a disciple accepted by the poor monk, although he is a stubborn monkey, but he has the ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and enter the heavens and the earth.

This is true, but it has not been said in full.

The old monk saw that the great sage was not easy to provoke, so he didn't bother with him, and only welcomed the Dongtu monk into the wing.

Fahai chatted with him casually, "The poor monk Sanzang has not yet consulted the elder's number. ”

"The old man's name is Jinchi."

"It turned out to be Elder Jinchi, disrespectful and disrespectful... I don't know how long the elders live? "Fahai took a quick look at it, this old monk is afraid that he will be more than one hundred and fifty years old.

The old monk said: "The idiot is two hundred and seventy years old. ”

"Oh?" Fahai raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Dare to ask the elder the secret of longevity?" ”

He underestimated him.

"Hehehe, what's the secret? It's just that he is contemplating the Dharma, chanting sutras and reciting the Buddha, and it is perhaps the Bodhisattva's favor that has allowed the old man to live for so many more days. ”

"The elders take care of the palace for the Bodhisattva, and they work hard." Fahai followed his words a few words, but he was secretly calculating in his heart that the old monk was not telling the truth.

However, this is the key to people's longevity, and it is also the reason why they are unwilling to show it easily.

I'm afraid that this is not a serious way to prolong life, otherwise why are there so many children in this monastery?

At that time, he was not unprecedented, and he had not seen cultivators who sought immortality with boys and girls, not only demons and evils, but also many people who had gone astray from both Buddhism and Taoism.

Not all monks have the wisdom to understand the Buddhist scriptures, so they have to find another way.

In the eyes of Fahai, this old monk is not a virtuous and respected monk.

......

Seeing that the master was led to the wing room to talk about the Buddha, Wukong led the white dragon horse to the stable.

"Big brother." Bai Longma was a little unsure: "Little brother seems to have smelled some demonic energy..."

"Demonic spirit?" Wukong suddenly cheered up, looked inside and outside the temple with fiery eyes, shook his head and said: "I just looked at it, and I didn't find that there is a goblin change hidden in the temple, did you smell it wrong?" ”

"I'm not sure, this demon is probably not a vicious person, so it has not left a bloody aura, but the unique smell of the black bear spirit should not be wrong." The little white dragon sniffed a few more times, "It seems to be nothing... If you think about it, I'm afraid it was left half a month ago. If we come a day late, the smell will be gone..."

Wukong pondered for a moment and said, "Don't startle the snake, I'll go and explore the wind first... Maybe it's just a spirit who admires Buddhism and comes to the temple to seek Buddha? This is the temple of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and it is too late for ordinary monsters to hide, which one dares to come in? ”

"Senior brother is right, if it is really a man-eating monster, I am afraid that when I hear that the master is visiting, I am afraid that he will have already killed him..."

Wukong smoothed the mane of the white dragon horse, and when he saw a few children practicing in one place, he made a self-righteous smile and greeted him-
