Chapter 67: The Preacher of the Scriptures
The more Yi Tianxing listened, the more wrong he became, frowning slightly, thinking, your old monk seems to be a little worse off by bluffing himself, and said lightly: "What about this? My parents died early, and I naturally don't know where I came from." If this is also a corroboration, then you great monks are still not allowed to pick up this so-called scripture preacher in orphanages everywhere every day? Besides, Suzaku, which is my son who protects me, I am protecting him. His voice became more and more casual: "Even if this little red bird is sent by heaven to come to see me, no matter how you say it, the Vermilion Bird is also a Taoist holy relic, how can it have anything to do with you great monks? Could it be that tomorrow there will be two more bull-nosed old Taoists in Wudang Mountain, and I have to enter the Taoist gate to start playing as a servant?"
He sneered, a slight tease at the corners of his lips.
"Great monk, I'll also tell you plainly, I see that you don't seem to know much about the things of this scripture preacher. He looked at Master Binku's eyes that were as quiet as an ancient well, and said slowly.
Master Bin Ku smiled slightly with some embarrassment, and then responded: "The layman is really smart...... Since the Song and Yuan dynasties, this scripture transmitter has not come back to the world, so Buddhism is only this saying, and the specific reason for it is not that we, the future generations, can understand. It's just that the layman doesn't feel that his life experience is too similar to that of his predecessors in the Buddhist sect?"
Yi Tianxing said curiously: "There are more fatherless and motherless orphans in the world, what is the similarity between me and these eminent monks?" He suddenly thought of one more thing, and said with a wicked smile: "Great monk, you have to coax me." Let's just say that the Kumarosh who beat Qiuzi, he has a father and a mother, and his father fled from Tianzhu to Qiuzi to marry the princess of Qiuzi, and then gave birth to Kumarosh, how can it be fatherless and motherless?"
Bin Ku smiled and responded: "Believe it or not, it's all between the thoughts of the layman." ”
"Well, if I believe you, I am the preacher of this Raushzi. So what? Could it be that I want to take refuge in Buddhism, shave my hair and robe, and become a little novice?" Yi Tianxing asked, scratching the back of his head.
Master Bin Ku said with some kindness: "And be respectful." This is just a manifestation of the Supreme Dharma, and as for the way forward, how can I judge as an earthly monk?"
"Wouldn't that mean the two of us talking a lot of nonsense?"
"Yi Jushi, I would like to ask you to stay in the temple in the future, on the one hand, you can practice the Dharma, and then see what kind of arrangements the heavens will have. Second, since you have a conflict with the auspicious heavenly gate, if you go out of the Guiyuan Temple, I am afraid that there will be all kinds of inconveniences. ”
Yi Tianxing quietly looked at the eyes of Monk Binku, but he didn't see a hint of threat, he still looked respectful, and couldn't help sneering twice in his heart.
"Then how long am I going to stay in Guiyuan Temple?" he sat with his knees crossed, his fingers tapping his knees lightly. Although he didn't understand what the scripture preacher was, and he didn't understand why the presiding officer insisted that he was the scripture preacher, he always felt that this matter didn't seem as glamorous as it looked literally, and there was something faintly dangerous.
"Ji Xiangtian is only afraid that he will not give up on this matter, and when I invite a few senior brothers from the Northern Zen Academy to come and reason with them, Yi Jushi may as well go out of the temple again. ”
Yi Tianxing asked again: "Can you say that I am and I am by the name of a scripture preacherent?"
"Naturally not. Master Bin Ku smiled and said, "Master Sanzang has traveled west for more than ten years and has experienced countless calamities. If a layman is a transmitter of my Buddhism, he will naturally have a secret Buddha to guide your practice. ”
"Then what do I need to do?" Yi Tianxing didn't like this feeling of being confused, and after he knew that the other party was actually half-confused, it was even more inexplicable.
Master Bin Ku clasped his hands together, and his face was full of Buddha's light: "The layman should be the demon subduing Vajra, protecting the Dharma and blessing the Buddha, and passing on the great virtues of my sect in the world." ”
When Yi Tianxing heard this, his eyes gradually tightened, and a cold light flashed imperceptibly in his pupils, thinking to himself, it turned out that ...... It turns out that the so-called messenger is a thug......
"Old monk, you are not kind. Yi Tianxing stretched out his index finger and shook it gently in front of Master Bin Ku's eyes, "I used to think that you were also a benevolent and virtuous monk, why did I look at your face today, I always felt that my mouth was gradually sharpened, and my eyes were gradually narrowed, revealing the taste of a fox." ”
Of course, Yi Tianxing refuses to wear the hat of a scripture preacher like this, he is not a fool, he naturally knows that the battle between religions is more terrifying than any kind of conflict of interest in the world, although he does not understand how Zen Buddhism, which has always paid attention to indifference and inaction, and has melted the way of Lao Zhuang, has also moved the delusion of fighting, but when he thinks of the gradual decline of Buddhism in today's world, he knows that if he becomes a thug of Zen Buddhism, he may not have a good time in the future. If you are in the land of the country, it is better to say, if in the future, as written in the novel, I am sent to the small city-state of Rome to do something shady, and I may not be able to come back.
He didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, so naturally he didn't think that the religions in the world had any mysterious power to speak of.
But now that these few months have passed, I really know that there really exist in the world beyond human beings, and I can't help but have a faint fear of these religions.
Master Bin Ku looked at his face, sighed and said, "Donor think about it yourself." For some reason, he changed the title of Yi Tianxing from layman to donor, paused, and the old monk said again: "You killed Zong Si under the auspicious heavenly gate......
Yi Tianxing interjected: "I didn't kill me, don't wronged me." ”
