Chapter 66: The Old Monk in the Monk Temple
Ye Qingxuan, who was dressed in a plain and elegant robe, leisurely walked around Xiangyang City, at this time, it was just past noon, and the cries of some vendors sounded intermittently, falling in Ye Qingxuan's ears, quite a bit of fireworks in the world.
has been in the mountains for a long time, what he has seen and heard is the majestic power of nature, and occasionally entering the world to visit the world has also made Ye Qingxuan have some fresh understanding of the Tao.
The old Taoist priest once taught Qingyuan that practitioners should be close to nature so that they can get close to the Great Dao, but they should not ignore the things in the world, red dust can refine the mind, and the world can be clear.
Of course, the words of the old Taoist priest at the beginning of the year only dared to say to the diligent and honest little Taoist priest of Qingyuan, if he used these words to teach the little Taoist priest of Qingxuan, I am afraid that after listening to these words, the little Taoist priest will run down the mountain the next day and experience the mortal world.
These words were heard by chance when he was discussing with Qingyuan later.
At this time, Ye Qingxuan had a deep understanding of the words, and had seen the red mortal world in Xiangyang City, as if his Dao heart, which had been in the mountains for a long time and had become a little wooden, was a little more energetic at this time.
As he realized something in his heart, the innate true qi in his body moved a lot.
This Xiangyang City is full of traffic, there are all kinds of three sects and nine streams, just after visiting these Xu Kung Fu, Ye Qingxuan has seen a lot of things that he has never seen.
Although his soul is a modern person, there are always things he has not seen, Daomen advocates natural leisure, and Ye Qingxuan will not restrain his nature too much.
At this time, he took a string of snacks that he didn't know what they were, and walked around while eating, there were people who knew Ye Qingxuan on the street, and when he saw him like this, he naturally felt very novel, but no one felt that there was anything wrong.
On the contrary, I feel that Qingxuan Dao is like this, but it is a little more pyrotechnic, and it seems more approachable, unlike in the jade void, ethereal and indifferent, full of a sense of distance, as if a person among the gods.
Along the way, whether it is a restaurant or a tea shop, a shop along the street, or even a Qinlou Chu Pavilion, Ye Qingxuan has seen a lot, there are too many temptations in this worldly world, if the Taoist heart is not strong, as if Qingxuan is in general, falling into this boundless temptation, I am afraid that the avenue will never succeed.
"Hongchen refining the heart, it's really good!" Ye Qingxuan sighed in his heart, and at the same time, he also found that his mentality was already very different from when he first came to this world.
At this time, Ye Qingxuan had almost completely accepted and admitted his identity as a Taoist priest, unlike when he first came here, he was always thinking about how to escape.
Although there is a systematic task hanging over Ye Qingxuan's head like a sword, he also has to admit with some depression that whether it is his own personality or behavior, he himself is really a good material for being a Taoist.
At least the ability to pretend to be a god stick and guide the believers to fool him, he is definitely much more clever than his master who has already ascended to the immortal and his cheap junior brother!
But if it weren't for Ye Qingxuan's indifferent temperament and being close to the Dao, even if he wanted to disguise, I am afraid he would not be able to escape the "magic eye" of Senior Brother Qingyuan.
Thinking about life while touring, on the mountain, Ye Qingxuan rarely had such an opportunity, so it was easy to forget the time, and before he knew it, the sun was gradually sinking in the west.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on this majestic city pass, as if he was clothed in a golden-red glow robe, and it was beautiful from afar.
Going around and around, I don't know where I went, Ye Qingxuan looked up, and saw that under the sunset, the golden glazed tiles reflected the sunset, shining brightly, and his eyes were dazzled when he suddenly looked at it.
Watching carefully, it turned out that unconsciously, Ye Qingxuan actually walked in front of a monk temple, this monk temple was built at the end of the solemn treasure temple, at this time reflecting the sunset, there is really a bit of glass Buddha light, shining on one side.
Presumably, this monk's temple must be the place where the incense is flourishing, and this appearance alone may be able to attract a large number of believers and pilgrims.
Just as Ye Qingxuan thought, even though the sun was about to set at this time, there were still a large number of pilgrims in this temple who came to worship the Buddha and offer sesame oil.
When Ye Qingxuan saw this scene, he sighed slightly, and at the same time shook his head imperceptibly.
The reason why he sighed was because, along the way, in this Xiangyang City, he was used to seeing academies, martial arts halls everywhere, plus the monk temple at this time, it can be said that there are all kinds of literature, martial arts, Buddhism and Taoism, but there is no Taoist temple, so he sighed in his heart that the Taoist door is weak, and he wants to complete the task There is still a long way to go.
As for the reason for shaking his head, it is that he really can't appreciate the Baoguang glazed and brilliant architectural style of Buddhism, compared to the blue bricks and light tiles, the natural Taoist style, and his aesthetics.
"I don't know how this benefactor shook his head and sighed in front of my Pure Temple?" Ye Qingxuan's actions obviously fell in the eyes of those who had a heart, and just as he was pondering, a kind voice with a little concern came into his ears.
Ye Qingxuan frowned slightly when he heard this, and he didn't know if it was his own psychological reason or what. He always felt that this concern for compassion sounded a little fake.
Looking up, I saw an old monk wearing a treasure light robe with a kind face, with a smile like a clay Buddha statue on his face, looking at him fixedly.
This old monk is the one Ye Qingxuan met at the city gate during the day.
Ye Qingxuan saw the mask-like expression on the old monk's face, and he was even more unhappy in his heart, but he didn't want to be troubled, so he also smiled, and then made a mockery to the old monk, and wanted to turn around and leave.
"Nan Wu Amitabha! This benefactor, take a step slowly!" the old monk proclaimed the Buddha's name, and then said in his unique compassionate voice, "I see that the donor is troubled, but my Buddha has a spirit, and the breadth is destined for people, if the donor can practice the Dharma quietly, and one day attain enlightenment, he can go away from his troubles and calm his nerves." ”
Ye Qingxuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then a wave of anger rose in his heart, but in an instant, this anger turned into a ridiculous feeling, "Is this old monk full of food and has nothing to do?
If all this is a coincidence, then Ye Qingxuan absolutely does not believe it, and he has a bit of a reputation in this Xiangyang City, the old monk in front of him must know who he is, and Ye Qingxuan is sure that this old monk must also know what his jade void view is.
In this way, it is very interesting, Ye Qingxuan gently turned the dust whisk in his hand, and looked at the kind-looking old monk fixedly, but he sneered in his heart, "This old monk, I'm afraid it didn't deliberately target the poor Dao, right?"
In my previous life, I heard that most of the monks of Buddhism are very domineering and hypocritical, and they are all merciful on the surface, but I am afraid that they will not allow other doctrines to compete with his Buddhism, otherwise in the history of the previous life, there will not be so many legends of Buddhism and Taoism polemics and Buddhist and Confucian polemics!"
