"Tan Lang is good, ah, open your mouth." Zhen gently twisted the medicine spoon and handed it forward.

"Auntie, I can drink it myself." Ouyang Rong took a sip helplessly and muttered.

As if Zhen hadn't heard it, he continued to scoop the medicine and ignored it.

Early this morning, Zhen brought the maid over to take care of Ouyang Rong's meals and medicine, and also asked the host of Donglin Temple to come over and check his pulse.

Ouyang Rong was originally going to propose to leave the temple and go down the mountain today, but seeing Zhen like this, the spirit dragon and tiger who didn't raise him would not let him go.

Ouyang Rong frowned silently.

At this time, the pretty maid beside Zhen's side, who seemed to be called 'Ban Thin', invited the host master and apprentice from the front hall to come in.

"Master, Tan Lang doesn't seem to have much appetite today, take a quick look and see if the condition has recurred." Zhen frowned worriedly.

Ouyang Rong wanted to speak and stopped, being fed as a child, it was strange that he had a good appetite.

"Don't worry, the female bodhisattva, make your nephew look good, and the old man will take a look at the pulse."

"There's Master Lao."

Zhen turned his head to someone and said: "The medical skills of the host are famous in the surrounding counties, and the medical officers of the state medical department may not be comparable, this time it is thanks to the host that he rescued you, you don't like to listen to the words of the aunt, you must listen to the words of the host who saved you, right?" ”

The presiding old monk smiled with his beard, sat down calmly, lowered his eyebrows, and took the pulse of Ouyang Rong, who was leaning on the couch.

Ouyang Rong turned his head and looked, this host of Donglin Temple was indeed a monk with a fairy wind and bones.

"What do you call the master?"

"The old man is good at guiding ......"

Ouyang Rong waited sideways, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't say a word, and paused, "Huh? ”

The hair holding the medical box on the side interjected and said, "Good guide, it is Master's Dharma name." ”

Ouyang suddenly coughed: "It turned out to be a master of good guidance, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

But in my heart, I complained frantically, what are the names of the monks of Donglin Temple in your nest, do you dare to be more serious?

Master Shandao added with a smile: "But Lao Gao is indeed good at enlightening others, if Mingtang has any confusion in life, or Buddhism is not incomprehensible, you can come to Lao Gao, welcome at any time." ”

"Yes, Master." Ouyang Rong nodded, glanced out the window, and suddenly said, "These floating towers in your temple are quite high. ”

Master Shandao sighed in his heart, and observed the face of the weak crown county commander without moving.

The old monk sighed, helplessly and compassionately:

"So that Mingtang knows, these floating slaughter are the pilgrims under the mountain spontaneously helped, the pagoda is one of the three Buddhas, can accumulate merits, the pilgrims are quite enthusiastic and sincere about this, my temple did not have the slightest persecution, but it is not easy to push away, but it is indeed a little labor and money...... But every time the tower is built, the temple has to go to the county government to report and pay taxes...... And this year's flood, it will definitely not be repaired, Mingtang rest assured. ”

Ouyang Rong didn't expect that a casual sentence would make people misunderstand that he was going to fight the autumn wind.

He was noncommittal, but continued: "Do you have a tower in Donglin Temple... Called the Pagoda of Merit? ”

Master Shandao's two white eyebrows gathered together, and he was silent for a while, first shaking his head lightly, and then nodding.

"There used to be, but now it's gone."

"Why is it gone?"

"Walk on the water. And twice. ”

"Can you elaborate?"

"Initially, it was before the founding of the country...... Even earlier than the previous dynasty, that is, the time of the Southern Dynasty, there was a southern royal family funding, in the temple built a magnificent lotus tower, and a dungeon was built below, but later the great Sui Emperor Wen walked the water, this tower collapsed.

"Then it came to the year of Daqian Taizong, that is, when the old master was presiding, the temple rebuilt a new tower named 'merit' at the original site of the lotus tower, and stored the Buddha's bone relics, but coincidentally, in the year when the old man took over the temple, this merit tower accidentally walked away again......"

The white-haired old monk shook his head and sighed: "So since then, the temple will no longer repair the tower at the original site of the 'Merit Tower', but it's a pity that the expensive underground palace below." ”

Ouyang Rong couldn't help but look sideways, "This deserted underground palace, shouldn't it be the Pure Land Palace?" ”

Master Shandao nodded.

Ouyang Rong silently glanced at the ancient tower in his mind that was located in the clouds. Good guys, is this a coincidence or ......

"The name of the underground palace is Pure Land, but is there anything special?"

"Mingtang really has Buddha nature. The name of the Pure Land, naturally is not without a target, first, the 'Pure Land of Rebirth' is one of the teachings of our temple, and the second is that in the underground palace, there were high monks in our temple, where the merits were complete, the body became a Buddha, and the Pure Land soared. ”

"Really?" Ouyang Rong's back detached from the pillow.

Master Shandao said a serious Buddha recitation, and said very seriously:

"Of course it's true, because this high monk is Lao Gao's uncle, Master Zu Zhenma. I remember that at that time, the old man was still the same age as his hair is now.

"On that day, the gate of the underground palace that had been blocked by the collapsed tower for decades was reopened, and the old man went down with the master, and saw with his own eyes that the uncle and ancestor who had been missing for many years since the collapse of the lotus tower were sitting in the center of the underground palace, and he had passed away for many years, but his appearance and skin were still lifelike, and even the green tendons on the back of his hands were clearly visible, and he had become a Buddha in the flesh! On the ground next to Uncle Shi, there are also four words in the book: 'Return to the Future'...... It seems that he has returned to the Pure Land. ”

"Even after many years, Lao Wei still can't forget the immortal face of his uncle and ancestor. Buddhism is boundless, it can cross sentient beings, go to the pure land, and be bright and free. There can be this Buddha trace, this is also one of the reasons why this temple is the most vigorous temple of incense in Longcheng County and even Jiangzhou, many laymen are not far away, go up the mountain to burn incense, and even these years, there are foreign monks from Dongying to learn Buddhism here, and spread Buddhism to the south to the sea. ”

The hair holding the box behind the master of good guidance was listening to it with a look of longing at this time.

Even when Ouyang Rong and the two were talking, Zhen and the maidservant who consciously retreated behind the curtain listened with an obsessive and envious look.

Ouyang Rong was stunned.

He suddenly felt that in the dark, there really seemed to be some kind of providence.

Ouyang Rong said thoughtfully: "No wonder you have set up a lotus throne in the center of the underground palace, but there is no Buddha statue on it, it is empty. ”

"Uncle Shi has soared, and it is naturally empty." Master Shandao smiled incomprehensibly, and said with a little surprise: "But Mingtang is quite familiar with that underground palace. ”

Can you not be familiar with it, I woke up on it at the beginning, and stepped on countless feet, and even the lotus golden lamp that may be dedicated to the relics of Master Zhenma was requisitioned, and he came to the physical 'ascension'......

Ouyang Rong complained in his heart and smiled.

Clang~

Suddenly, a dull sound of wooden fish echoed in my ears.

Added merit? Could it be the unintentional thing that I told my hair yesterday...... Ouyang Rong was stunned for a moment, and looked at the usual appearance of the people in the room who did not hear the sound, and he immediately found an excuse of "dizziness" and walked away from everyone in the house.

Ouyang Rong lowered the bed curtain, closed his eyes and leaned on the pillow, concentrated, and flew back to the merit pagoda surrounded by white clouds, looking at the blue-gold seal above the wooden fish expectantly and curiously......

However, when he saw it clearly, he almost stumbled and died.

[Merit: 100]

"Grass, why are you still upside down?!"

This...... Breathe deeply...... Ouyang Rong calmed down.

Sure enough, this merit value can not only increase, but also decrease without ringing the bell.

"Damn, what is the reason, what is the reason, what is the reason? Lao Tzu didn't do anything wrong, could it be that something happened in the distance. Didn't I just laugh a little...... Hey. ”

Ouyang Rong suddenly paused.

Isn't it, does the hell joke deduct my merit too?

He stared at the small wooden fish in front of him with a straight face, not knowing whether to be angry or happy.

Well, now you really have to be a righteous gentleman all the time outside, otherwise this bit of merit is not enough for him to "laugh" - the Lezi people are angry.

In addition, Ouyang Rong also noticed a little difference, thoughtfully:

"When merit is added, the sound of the wooden fish in my ears seems to be softer and more brittle; And when the merit is deducted, the sound of the wooden fish heard seems to be a little dull.

"The difference between the two voices is like slapping your girlfriend's ass and slapping your friend's ass...... The difference is still quite big, it must be the former that is more beautiful......"

Just as Ouyang Rong was savoring something, there was a sudden sound of the door opening in the house, and someone tiptoed closer, and he quickly gathered his mind and broke away from the merit tower.

However, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw ...... Big breasts.
