I don't blame Fahai for telling them to be gentle.

One is that they are ugly, and the other is that they have a criminal record.

Of course, they didn't take the initiative to cause trouble in those few hands... After all, the people who debated with them were not the senior monks of the temple, they were all young disciples in the temple... Losing to the Great Sage for a while, he was naturally not convinced.

The mouths and kung fu of people in Buddhism are also a must in the Three Realms, and there will always be some people who can't help but say a few words of yin and yang if they don't practice enough.

It's just that the great saints are all masters who you respect me and I respect you... It is indispensable to teach them a memorable lesson.

It just so happens that the Zen monk in front of him seems to be a high-spirited person... If you don't admit defeat for a while, there may also be a disaster.

However, Fahai only let a few disciples be gentle, and did not restrict them too much.

After all, several disciples have been taught under their own disciples for more than ten years, and they also know how to measure.

What's more... Mana and force are meant to make those who are restless and honestly listen to people's reasoning.

If not, how would Confucius preach?

How do bodhisattvas practice compassion in the Three Realms?

He Fahai... And how can we go through this road?

Those who come are guests.

Not to mention the monks of the Eastern Earth who are famous in the Three Realms, even if they are ordinary Buddhist believers, even if they pass by here, they will not turn away the Buddhist temple.

Barren mountains and ten directions live permanently, and they can be happy as they are, which is exactly the case.

Although it was decided to debate the scriptures and discuss the Buddha, it was not enough to put on a battle before entering the door... It was also this Zen monk who saw the Sanzang Master in person, and after talking face-to-face, he realized that the rumors he heard were false, and this monk from the East was not such a domineering person, and he clearly had a warm and gentle cultivation.

Even if he spoke out first, Master Sanzang was still calm as usual... This also made him a little uncomfortable, and he felt that he was not a hospitable person by using this preemptive method.

Hearing that their master and apprentice had already eaten the fast, they were directly invited into the guest room, and after putting down the salute, they went to see the abbot of the courtyard.

On the road.

"You idiot, why do you keep your head down?" The Great Sage obviously asked knowingly.

Bajie was stunned for a moment, and then knew that he was out of shape, smiled, touched his head and said, "See you laugh... See it..."

It is also the reputation of Master Sanzang is too great, knowing that they entered the temple, if the temple is big or small, regardless of the long stay, hanging couch, elders, and children, one by one to find the near, that is, even some pilgrims, also come to join in the fun.

The Zen master wanted to let the monks retreat, but was stopped by Master Sanzang: "The poor monk is not a rare person, and he occasionally has some thin names, how dare he be arrogant?" All the monks are here, and at that time they discussed the Buddha with the abbot, and they could speak freely... Studying Buddhism is about communication, not about winning or losing. ”

The Dharma is vast, and individuals have their own understanding, and there are naturally thousands of fates in the world... Where is the immutable?

For Fahai, the Dharma realm may have depths, but there is no right or wrong in itself... It's just that there are often monks who misinterpret the original meaning of the Dharma and go astray.

It's like when he taught a few disciples the Dharma, except for Wujing, he never taught the Tantric method to Wukong... Its method is rigid and weird, even Fahai himself is not easy to control, so it is harmful and useless for them to learn the tantric method in the first place.

On the contrary, Zen Buddhism, which focuses on understanding, is more suitable for them.

"Amitabha." The Zen monk said on the side: "I think you also know the origin of our temple. ”

"I've just read it in the classics, but I don't know if it's true."

"It's... Not really. The Zen monk said: "This temple turned out to be the Guyuan Temple, also known as Gion. Because it is for the lonely elderly to invite the Buddha to give a lecture, the gold brick cloth floor, and the name is changed... But now, the temple has been rebuilt, inheriting its former name. Behind the temple there is also the site of Gion... In recent years, if it rains, gold and silver beads can also be dripped, and those who have a good creation can be picked up. ”

Bajie listened and asked curiously, "Why do you want to rebuild it?" ”

"Amitabha." The Zen monk said: "Human nature is greedy, this big Buddhist temple is paved with gold bricks... What does the donor think? ”

Everyone stopped talking, which shows the luxury recorded in this text, but there is also unknown blood and tears behind it.

......

Not long after, a group of people passed the cloister incense, went into the abbot, the abbot also respects an old courtyard master, Fahai only saw for the first time, although he saw that he did not have much power, but he could also see his Buddhism quite deep, and his heart was secretly happy.

After the meeting, the guests and hosts sat down.

The monks who came with them also entered the main hall together, and only then did they formally pay tribute to Master Sanzang.

After some greetings, the old courtyard master smiled at Master Sanzang and said, "Actually, my temple has to thank Master Sanzang. ”

"Dare to ask for details?"

This mountain, called the Hundred Feet Mountain, is named because there are many centipedes in the mountain, and the mountain stretches like a big centipede. But it has always been a Taiping Mountain, but more than ten years ago, there were a few old centipedes in the mountain that became sperm and often hurt people under the road. Although it doesn't hurt people, in fact, people don't dare to go... It is also because there is a rooster crow pass at the bottom of the mountain, but when the rooster crows, the centipede essence retreats, and it can pass people. ”

The little white dragon was surprised when he heard this, and said in his heart: "When I visited the mountains, although I also saw a few big centipedes, I never saw any centipedes in the mountains?" ”

Sure enough, then I heard the old monk explain: "But some time ago, it was suddenly rumored that the prestige of Master Sanzang to subdue demons and eliminate demons came here, and this mountain is the only way for the mage to go west to Lingshan... Those old centipedes, which had become essences, abandoned the mountain and fled..."

"However, the merchants who come and go, but also according to the past habits, when they come late, they will spend the night in our temple, and wait for the rooster to crow."

"Amitabha." Listening to the old monk's explanation, Fahai frowned slightly, and said with a little worry: "As soon as this demon goes, I don't know how many people will be harmed on the road." ”

"Mages don't have to worry." The old monk hurriedly said: "It is rumored that not long after these goblins left this mountain, they met Hui'an Walkers... Because they did not harm anyone's life, they were taken to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea, and it was expected that they were enshrined in the Bodhisattva. ”

I see, since it was sent to the South China Sea, it would be fine.

It seems that the heels of these centipede spirits are also quite extraordinary.

Perhaps they were able to become refined, but they were also influenced by the Buddha's teachings.

It's also rare to see a monk from China, this old courtyard master is in a good mood today, and he has more words... Originally, the monks were still worried about his body, but now they saw that the old house owner was becoming more and more energetic... It's even more worrying.

Especially the Zen monk who brought in Master Sanzang and others, he was adopted by the old master since he was a child, and he had deep feelings... He was afraid that the old courtyard master would go up for a while, and after discussing the Buddha with Master Sanzang, he would pass away.

This is actually one of the reasons why the monks in the monastery were slightly hostile to Master Sanzang at first.

Fahai saw it at this moment, and more or less understood their worries... Just looking at Fahai's eyes, this old master is in good health and is often baptized by the Dharma... Not to mention that there are still fifty years of life.

Of course, if there are not so many records in the book of life and death, it will also die early.

Or... With the old monk's Dharma, after death, he will not enter the Yin Division, but will go to the Western Heaven Elysium to enjoy happiness.

Then there is the time to talk about the Buddha that makes people worry.

Different from the imaginary sabre-rattling and sword-talking, what everyone saw in their eyes, the old courtyard master and the Sanzang Master had a lotus tongue, repeatedly showing lotus visions, and the Buddha's voice was heavy, hanging in everyone's hearts one by one.

They also finally knew why Venerable Sanzang was called a divine monk, and the word "monk" was not enough to describe his Dharma realm.

Although the old master of the institute already has a deep enough insight into the Mahayana teachings, he is still willing to bow down when facing the three Tibetan masters.

As Venerable Sanzang said, this time the Dharma exchange is not a battle for victory or defeat, but a collision and exchange of Eastern and Western Buddhism, and finally forms a trend of integration.

The Buddha nature emanating from those Dharma Golden Lotus was surrounding the two of them at this moment.

The Zen monk saw clearly that these Buddha qi had entered the master's body, and it seemed that the master's old body was gradually helping, and the original gray beard was slightly stained with ink; The body of the sentence is also upright. Saggy skin is also restored to radiance.

In particular, he saw that the Buddha light that was originally going to merge into the body of Master Sanzang was also crossed into the master's body under the guidance of Master Sanzang...

At this point, the Zen monks were even more convinced by Master Sanzang.

He also repented of his previous villain's heart.

The heart said: When you debate the scriptures with several disciples of Master Sanzang, let's maintain a situation that is on par.

It's no wonder he thinks so, after all, no one believes in how profound the Dharma will be for the Great Sage.

Although Fahai said at the beginning that the monks in the temple could speak freely, as soon as the two of them spoke, the monks next to them really couldn't interject... Even the abbot was timid.

Maybe this disciple of the old courtyard master can talk about a sentence or two, but because he had already said that he would debate the scriptures with the great sage and others, he naturally didn't open his mouth at this time.

Here, Master Sanzang and the old master of the old courtyard came to an end for the time being, and the Zen monk invited several people from the great sage to start debating the scriptures.

It was also seen by the right talent, which made him change his mentality, his words were not aggressive, and the great sage naturally did not have a seizure, and the two sides had no smell of gunpowder, and the scene was naturally much more harmonious.

Whether it is Master Sanzang or the old courtyard master, they are very satisfied with such a scene.

But...

Crying.

The Zen monk was devastated, and he believed that the Dharma had been passed on by his master, but he was still defeated by the other party.

Although the scene seemed to end in a draw, the Zen monk was well aware... It was Elder Sha's subordinates who showed mercy and supported themselves throughout the whole process, otherwise he would have been defeated a long time ago.

But in any case, this debate was of great significance to the Zen monk, and he learned a lot... As Venerable Sanzang said before, the more the Dharma and the scriptures are debated, the clearer they become.

There is always an end to the debate on Buddhist scriptures, even though the monks are still unfinished, but at this moment it is getting late... Some of the monks' stomachs were already making some noises.

The old courtyard owner called for fasting... Bajie eats the most happily, and the steamed buns, vegetarian food, and noodle soup do not refuse, which makes everyone amazed.

"I don't know how old the monk is? Is there such a profound Dharma? The old courtyard master couldn't help but ask Master Sanzang.

"Amitabha, the poor monk has spent forty-five years in vain, dare to ask the lord of the old courtyard to respect his life?" Fahai also asked.

The old master, who was already obviously much younger, made a Buddhist salute to Fahai: "The obsessive monk is very ashamed. ”

The old master asked Master Sanzang for some things about the Tang Dynasty, and after the eight precepts were fasted, he bowed to Master Sanzang again and said: "I shouldn't be a monk, but this matter has been difficult for many years, and I don't know what to do... It happened to be the arrival of the monks, and it was just right to ask for advice. ”

"The old master said."

The old courtyard master thought for a while and said, "I also invite the monks and apprentices to come with the old man." ”

The old courtyard master got up, holding a bamboo cane, and asked Master Sanzang to come out of the hall, and when he saw that the monks of the temple were still coming, he said: "You don't have to follow, they disperse." ”

"Where is this going?" Bajie asked.

"Gion foundation." The old courtyard master replied.

The little white dragon sent a message to the master: "Master, the strange things in the temple that the disciple said before are here. ”

Fahai listened to the little white dragon's words, and there was a secret vigilance in his heart.

The old courtyard owner led everyone to the back door of the temple, took out the key and opened the door wide, everyone looked over, but saw that it was an open space, and there were some broken stone walls.

"Remembering the Tana Sudatta, who once gave the golden treasure to the poor. Gion has been famous for thousands of years, and the elders are with Jueluo. ”

When Fahai saw this remnant, he felt it.

At this moment, suddenly there was a cry from the wind, everyone was deaf and clear-sighted, and the French sea was reminded by the little white dragon... I can also guess the strange thing in the mouth of this little white dragon and the difficulty that the old courtyard master said, which is this sad voice.

"This cry..."Bajie, who has always been the most delicate, suddenly rubbed his eyes and said: "It's so sad, I heard that my old pig was full of sadness, and before I knew it, I cried together." ”

"Amitabha." The old courtyard master bowed heavily to Master Sanzang and said, "It is this difficult matter that has always been in the heart of the old man. The disciple is more than 100 years old and knows a little about personnel. Every time I am in meditation, I have seen several scenes... The sad things here cannot be discerned by non-monks and monks, so they take the liberty to invite them and ask for forgiveness. ”

"The old courtyard is serious." Fahai is never afraid of trouble, and he may be more afraid of not being able to solve trouble than trouble coming to his door, "You might as well tell me the whole story." ”

"In the old year and today, when the old man was in the moon, he suddenly heard a gust of wind, and there was a sound of grief." The old man hurriedly explained to everyone, "When the old man was busy looking at Gion Ji, he saw that a beautiful and upright girl came out of thin air. ”

"The cry was indeed a woman's voice." Eight Rings pointed ahead and said, "Master, do you want to go and see first?" ”

"Elders, please come with me." While leading the way in front, the old courtyard owner said: "I asked her whose daughter she was? Why is this here? She said that she was the princess of the king of Tianzhu. Because of the flowers under the moon, they were blown by the wind..."

"Since you're a princess, why don't you send them back?" The Great Sage jumped to his side and said in a deep voice: "My old grandson sees that you are not a person with lust. ”

"Elder Sun doesn't know anything, the old man has inquired about entering the country several times... But I haven't heard of the princess's loss, and now... My princess Tianzhu is still preparing to recruit relatives. ”
