It is said that Lu Zhishen walked through several hillsides and saw a large pine forest and a mountain road; I walked along the mountain road, and I couldn't go half a mile, but when I looked up, I saw a ruined temple, and the bell was blown by the wind; When I looked at the mountain gate, there was an old vermilion plaque on it, and there were four golden characters in it, all of which were faint, and it was written "Waguan's Temple." "

And not forty or fifty steps, cross a stone bridge, enter the temple, and then go to the guest house.

I saw that in front of the door of Zhikeliao, the gate was gone, and there was nothing around the wall.

Zhishen pondered: "How did this big temple fall to the ground? "

When I went straight to the abbot to look, I saw swallow dung all over the ground, and a lock on the door was locked, and the lock was full of cobwebs. Zhishen put the Zen staff on the ground and shouted, "In the past, the monks came to fast. "

I called for a long time, but no one answered.

I must go to the Xiangzhu kitchen to see that the pot is gone, and the stove has collapsed.

Zhishen unwrapped the package, put it in front of the prison messenger, took the Zen staff, and searched everywhere; I found a small room behind the kitchen and saw several old monks sitting on the ground, all with yellow faces and thin muscles.

Zhishen snorted and said, "You monks are so unreasonable!" Called by the restaurant, no one responded! "

The monk shook his hand and said, "Don't raise your voice!" "

Zhishen said: "I am a monk in the past, how good is it to beg for a meal?" "

The old monk said: "We haven't had food for three days, where are we begging for food to eat with you?" "

Zhishen said: "I am a monk from Wutai Mountain, and I also invite the restaurant to eat half a bowl of porridge." "

The old monk said: "You are from where the living Buddha goes, we should fast you; The monks in our temple are scattered, and there is not a grain of fasting food. The old monk waited for three days! "

Zhishen said: "Nonsense! Such a big place, don't you believe that there is no fasting? "

The old monk said: "I am here to go to a non-detailed place; Just because he is a permanent resident of the ten directions, he was brought here by a cloud tour and a Taoist to the abbot, and all the permanent residents were destroyed. The two of them did everything and drove the monks out. I can't walk a few old people, so I have to live here, so I don't have anything to eat. "

Zhishen said: "Nonsense! What did he do as a monk and a Taoist? But don't you go to the government to sue him? "

The old monk said, "Master, you don't know; The yamen here is far away, and even the officials and soldiers cannot prohibit it. He, a monk and Taoist, is so good that he is a murderer and arsonist! Now he has settled in a place behind the abbot. "

Zhishen said: "What are these two calls doing?" "

The old monk said: "The monk's surname is Cui, his Dharma name is Daocheng, and he is nicknamed Pig Iron Buddha; The Taoist's surname is Qiu, ranking Xiao Yi, nicknamed Flying Yaksha. --These two seem to be monks, just thieves in the green forest, and they occupy the body of this monk! "

Zhishen was asking, and suddenly smelled a burst of incense.

Zhishen lifted the Zen stick, and when he stepped behind to take a look, he saw an earthen stove, covered with a grass cover, and the air was about to come in.

When Zhishen lifted it up, he was boiling a pot of corn porridge.

Zhishen scolded: "You old monks don't make sense! only said that he had no food for three days, and now he sees a pot of porridge cooking. Why do the monks lie? "Those old monks were found out of porridge by Zhishen; I had to complain bitterly, and snatched the bowls, dishes, bowls, ladles, and buckets.

Zhishen is hungry and helpless; When I saw the porridge, I wanted to eat it; There is no reason, I saw that there was only some dust on the broken lacquer spring platform by the stove, and Zhishen saw it, "people are anxious and wise:" so he leaned on the Zen stick, picked up a handful of grass by the stove, and wiped the dust on the spring platform; Lift the pot with both hands and tilt the porridge over the table. Those old monks all came to grab porridge to eat, but they were pushed and handed over by Zhishen, and they fell and left. Zhishen held the porridge with his hand and ate it. After only a few bites, the old monk said, "I haven't eaten for three days!" But I went there to copy all this corn, boiled some porridge to eat, and you ate ours again! "

Zhishen ate five or seven bites, and when he heard this, he skimmed it off.

I could only hear someone laughing outside.

Zhishen washed his hands, lifted his Zen staff, and came out to see; In the broken wall, I saw a Taoist, wearing a soap towel on his head, wearing a cloth shirt, wearing variegated strips around his waist, wearing bast shoes on his feet, carrying a burden,-- and a bamboo basket at the end, revealing a fish's tail inside, and lotus leaves holding some meat; Carrying a bottle of wine on one end, also covered with lotus leaves.

--Mocking in his mouth, he sang, "While you are in the east, I am in the west, and you have no man, and I have no wife."

I'm idle when I don't have a wife, and I'm so lonely when you don't have a husband! The old monks rushed out, shook their hands, and quietly pointed at Zhishen, saying, "This Taoist is Qiu Xiaoyi, the Flying Yaksha!" "

When Zhishen saw what he said, he took the Zen staff and followed.

The man didn't know that Zhishen was following behind, so he just walked into the back wall of the abbot.

When Zhishen followed inside, he saw a table under the green locust tree, spread some dishes, three cups, and three pairs of chopsticks.

Among them sat a fat monk, with eyebrows like paint brushes, a face like ink, a body full of horizontal flesh, and a black belly exposed under his chest.

A young woman sat in the side compartment.

The man put down the basket and sat down on the ground.

When Zhishen walked in front of him, the monk was taken aback, jumped up and said, "Please sit down and eat together." Zhishen carried the Zen staff and said: "How did you abolish the temple!" "

The monk said, "Senior brother, please take a seat." Listen to the little monk..."Zhishen opened his eyes and said: "You say! You said! "

－－"．．． Say.. It is a very good place to go in the Xianyi Temple, the grange is wide, and there are many monks, only the old monks under the corridor eat and drink and sprinkle it, and raise the money to their daughters, and the elders forbid them not to make an appointment, and the elders are sued out; Therefore, all the temples were abandoned, all the monks were scattered, and all the land was sold. The little monk and this Taoist newcomer came to live, holding here, and was about to tidy up the mountain gate and build the temple. "

Zhishen said: "Who is this woman?" But here you eat and drink! The monk said: "Senior brother Rongyu: This lady, he is the daughter of the former village king Youjin." In the first his father was the temple Tanyue, now the lack of furniture, recently embarrassed, the family population is gone, the husband is sick again, because of the temple to borrow rice. The little monk looked at the face of the donor, Tan Yue, took wine and treated each other, and had no other meaning. Senior brother Hugh listened to those old brutes! "

Zhishen listened to his words, and saw that he was so careful, so he said: "A few old monks are teasing the restaurant!" "

Carrying the Zen stick, I went back to the incense soup kitchen.

These old monks just ate some porridge.

Right there... Seeing Zhishen come out angrily, he pointed to the old monk and said, "It turns out that you are a bad resident, and you are still lying in front of me!" "

The old monks all said together: "Senior brother Hugh heard him say that he saw a woman raised there today. He just saw that you had a sword and a Zen staff, and he had no equipment and didn't dare to fight with you. But if you do not believe, go and walk again, and see what he is doing with you. Senior brother, you think to yourself: they eat wine and meat, and we don't eat porridge, so we are only afraid that my brother will eat it. Zhishen said: "That's right." "

He lifted the Zen staff, and then went to the abbot, but saw that the corner door had already closed.

Zhishen was furious, only one foot opened, and when he rushed into the inside to look, he saw that the pig iron Buddha Cui Daocheng was holding a simple knife, and rushed from the inside to the locust tree to rob Zhishen.

Seeing this, Zhishen roared, turned the Zen staff in his hand, and came to fight Cui Daocheng.

The two fought for fourteen or fifteen years, and Cui Daocheng was not very wise, only to set up a barrier, dodge and dodge, and he couldn't resist it, but he had to leave.

This Qiu Daoren saw that he couldn't stand it, but he took a simple knife from behind his back and strode into the future.

Zhishen was fighting, and suddenly heard the footsteps behind him, but he didn't dare to look back at him, and from time to time he saw a figure coming, knowing that there was a plot, and shouted: "Go!" "

That Cui Daocheng panicked, only said his Zen staff, and jumped out of the circle.

Zhishen just turned around, and the three of them met each other.

Cui Daocheng and Qiu Daoren merged again.

Zhishen has no food in his stomach first, and secondly, he has traveled a lot of journeys, and the three are not worthy of his two vitality; I had to sell a flaw, dragged the Zen stick and left.

The two twisted the Pu knife and went straight out of the mountain gate.

Zhishen fought a few more times, grabbed the Zen staff and left.

The two rushed to the foot of the stone bridge, sat on the railing, and did not come again.

Zhishen walked far, gasped, and pondered: "The package of the restaurant is placed in front of the prison messenger, just walking, but I have never taken it, and there is no entanglement on the road, and I am hungry, how is it good?" "When he wants to go back, he can't fight him."

--"Two of him and one of me, and they lost their lives in vain." "Take a walk ahead, take a step, be lazy.

After walking a few miles, I saw a large forest in front of me, all of which were red pine trees.

Lu Zhishen looked at it and said, "What a fierce evil forest!" "

While watching, I saw a person in the shadow of the tree poking his brain, looking at it, spitting out, and flashing in. Zhishen said: "I guess this handful of birds is a strong man of Jianjing, who is waiting for business here, and seeing that the restaurant is a monk, he said that it is not good for the market, spit out a mouthful, and walked in." That's not a bird! bumped into the restaurant, and the restaurant had another belly bird, and it was nowhere to fall, and stripped this guy's clothes as wine to eat! "

Carrying the Zen staff, he rushed to the edge of the pine forest and shouted, "Wu! The birds in the woods! Come out! The man heard it in the woods and laughed, "Bald donkey! You deserve to die! It's not me who came looking for you! "

Zhishen said: "Teach you to recognize the restaurant!" "

Wheel up the Zen staff and grab the Han.

The man twisted the Pu knife to fight the monk, just waiting to move forward, and thought in his stomach: "This monk's voice is so familiar." "

Then he said: "Wu, that monk, your voice is so familiar. What's your last name? "

Zhishen said: "I'm fighting with you but saying my name!" "

The Han was furious, and he used the simple knife in his hand to welcome the Zen staff.

After the two of them fought to the number of ten, the man secretly applauded: "What a reckless monk!" "

After another four or five fights, the man shouted, "Don't rest, I have something to say." "

Both jumped out of the circle.

Then the man asked, "What is your name?" The sound is so familiar. "

After Zhishen said his name, the man skimmed the knife, turned over, and said, "Do you recognize Shi Jin?" "

Zhishen smiled: "It turned out to be Shi Dalang!" "

The two of them whisked again, and sat down together in the woods.

Zhishen asked: "Shi Dalang, where have you always been since you left Weizhou?" "

Shi Jin replied: "Since that day I broke up with my brother in front of the restaurant, the next day, I heard that my brother killed Zheng Tu and fled. Until Yanzhou, I couldn't find it. After returning to Beijing for a while, I tried my best to find some entanglements here. I don't want to meet my brother. Why did you become a monk? "

Zhishen said what he had said from the beginning.

Shi Jin said: "My brother is hungry, and my younger brother has dried meat and baked cakes here." "

So he took it out and taught him to eat it deeply.

Shi Jin said again: "My brother is wrapped in the temple, and I will ask you for it." If you still don't, why don't you end up in that mess? "

Zhishen said: "Yes! "

At that moment, he and Shi Jin were full, each took the equipment, and then went back to Waguan Temple.

When I arrived at the temple, I saw Cui Daocheng, Qiu Xiaoyi, and the two Wuyi sitting on the bridge.

Zhishen shouted: "You guys, come!" Come! Fight to the death with you this time! "

The monk smiled and said: "You are the defeated general in my hands, how dare you fight again!" "

Zhishen was furious, wheeled up the iron Zen staff, and ran across the bridge to live in the afterlife; The Iron Buddha was angry, and he relied on the Pu knife to kill the bridge.

Zhishen got Shi Jin, and he was brave in his belly; Er Nai is full, and the more his spiritual strength comes out.

The two fought to eight or nine, and Cui Daocheng gradually became timid, so he could only walk.

The Flying Yaksha Qiu Daoren saw that the monk had lost, so he relied on the Pu Dao to help.

When Shi Jin saw this, he jumped out of the woods and shouted: "Don't go!" "

Lifted the hat, held up the Pu knife, and came to fight Qiu Xiaoyi.

--Four people fight in pairs.

Zhishen and Cui Daocheng were fighting into the deep stream, Zhishen got the convenience, drank "on" only a Zen stick, and knocked the pig iron Buddha off the bridge.

When the man saw the monk, he had no intention of fighting, so he sold a flaw and left.

Shi Jin shouted: "Go there!" "

Catching up, he looked at the back of his heart with a simple knife, and there was a sound on the ground, and the Taoist fell to the side.

Shi Jin stepped in, turned the knife, and looked down at the bark that only cared about his limbs.

Zhishen rushed down the bridge and turned Cui Daocheng into a Zen staff behind his back.

Pity the two strong men, turned into a dream of Nan Ke, Zhishen Shi Jin tied up this Qiu Xiaoyi, Cui Daocheng, and the two corpses in the stream.

The two of them rushed into the temple again, and the incense cooker took the package.

Those old monks lost because they saw Zhishen, and they were afraid that Cui Daocheng and Qiu Xiaoyi would come to kill him and hang themselves.

Zhishen, Shi Jin, when he walked straight into the abbot's corner gate to look, the captive woman threw herself into the well and died; I went straight to the eight or nine huts inside, and when I was about to enter, there was no one, only three or four bags of clothes on the bed.

Shi Jin opened it, it was all clothes, wrapped some gold and silver, and picked a bag.

When I found the kitchen, I saw fish, wine and meat, and two of them drew water and made a fire, and when they were cooked, they were all satisfied.

Two of them were wrapped on their backs, and two torches were tied in front of the stove, and the stove was opened, and the fire was lit, and the flame was blazing, and the hut behind was burned first; Burn to the front of the door, and then tie a few torches, until the back eaves of the Buddha Hall lit up and burned, it happened that the wind was tight, and the fire was mixed and scraped, and the price was sky-high.

Zhishen and Shi Jin watched, waited for a while, and fell on fire in all directions.

The two humane: "Although Liang Yuan is good, it is not a long-term love home; "The two of us had to disperse."

The two of them traveled together all night.

The sky was light, and the two saw a cluster of people in the distance, which seemed to be a village and town.

Two of them came up from the villages.

A small hotel by the single-plank bridge, Zhishen and Shi Jin, came to the hotel in the village, while eating wine, while asking the bartender to buy some meat, borrow some rice, and cook on the fire. The two of them ate and drank and talked about many things on the road.

After eating the wine and dinner, Zhishen asked Shi Jindao: "Where are you going to go today?" Shi Jin said: "Now I have to go back to Shaohua Mountain to join Zhu Wu and the other three people, and after a while, I will pay attention to it." "

Zhi Shen saw that he said, and said, "Brother, too." "

opened the package, took some wine vessels, and talked to Shi Jin.

The two tied up the package, took the equipment, and returned the wine money.

The two of them got out of the store, left the village and town, and walked no more than five or seven miles, to a three-way intersection.

Zhishen said: "Brother, you have to break up." The restaurant went to Tokyo. You don't give it off. When you go to Huazhou, you have to go from this road. But he will meet one day. If there is a convenient person, you can exchange information. Shi Jin bowed to Zhishen and went their separate ways.

Shi went in, only said that Zhishen went to Tokyo from Zhishen, and walked on the road for another eight or nine days, and saw Tokyo early; When I entered the city, I saw that the neighborhood was lively and the characters were noisy; When I came to the city, I was careful and asked, "Where is the Great Xiangguo Temple?" The neighbor replied, "The state bridge in front of you is." "

Zhishen took the Zen staff and left, and entered the temple early; When looking under the east and west corridors, go to the guest house.

The Taoist bumped into it and reported it to the customer.

When there was no movement, the monk came out and saw Zhishen being fierce, carrying an iron Zen staff and straddling the sword.

Carrying a large package, there are five points of fear of him first.

Zhike asked, "Where is the senior brother from?" "

Zhishen put down the package, Zen stick, and sang.

Zhike replied to the inquiry.

Zhishen said: "The restaurant is from Wutai Mountain. Elder Zhen of this master has a book here, so I came to the elder of Master Shaqing to ask for a ministry monk to do. "

Zhike said: "Even if the true master and elder have a book, they should go to the abbot together." "

Zhike led Zhishen until the abbot, unwrapped the package, took out the book, and held it in his hand.

Zhike said: "Senior brother, how do you not know decency? Immediately the elder comes out, you can untie the sword, take out the seven sitting utensils and incense, and worship the elders. "

Zhishen said: "Why didn't you say it earlier!" "

Immediately untied the ring knife, took out a stick of incense in the package, and sat in seven seats, and did not make sense for a long time.

Zhike put on a robe with him again and taught him to lay out the seat first.

After a few moments, I saw Zen Master Zhiqing come out.

Zhike said forward: "This monk is from Wutai Mountain, and there is a true Zen master here. "

Elder Qing said, "Senior brother hasn't had a Fa Ti for a long time. Zhike called Zhishen and said, "Senior brother, come and worship the elders." "

I saw that Zhishen didn't put the incense anywhere.

Zhike couldn't help but laugh and stuck in the furnace with him.

After three bows, the acquaintance stopped and presented the book.

When Elder Qing took the book and opened it, he talked in detail about the reason why Lu Zhishen became a monk and the reason why he went down the mountain to cast a brake today, "All hopes are merciful, and if you are a minister, you must not shirk the reason." This monk will be a witness after a long time..."Elder Qing read the book and said: "Come from afar, monks and go to the monk's hall to rest for a while, and eat some fasting." "

Zhishen thanked him.

He pulled seven sittings, carried the package, took the Zen staff, quit the knife, and followed the boy.

Elder Qing summoned two classes of many ministry monks, all to the abbot, Naiyun: "You and other monks are here, you see that my senior brother Zhizhen Zen Master is so unaware!" This monk who came was originally an officer of the Jinglufu Prefecture, who had killed people and lost his hair as a monk, and he made trouble in the monk's hall for the second time, so it was difficult for him. --You can't get him there, but you push it with me! --If you want to take him in or not, the senior brother has instructed him so much, and he can't be excused; If he is here, if he messes up the rules, how can he make it? "

Zhike said: "It's the disciples, look at the monk who doesn't look like a monk." How can this temple settle him! Du Si said: "The disciple thought about it, only when he retreated to the vegetable garden outside the sour jujube gate, he was violated by the soldiers in the camp and the twenty or so broken houses outside the door, and indulged in sheep and horses, so that he could make a lot of noise. An old monk was there as an abbot, and there dared to take care of him. Why not teach this person to go there abbot? I dare to manage it. "

Elder Qing said: "The temple is right. "

Teach the attendants to go to the guest room of the monastery, and when he has finished eating, they call him to him.

When the waiter didn't go long, he led Zhishen to the abbot.

Elder Qing said: "Since you are recommended by my senior brother Master Zhen to come to my temple to hang up and be a monk, I have a big vegetable garden in our temple on the wall of the Yue Temple outside the sour jujube gate, you can go there to the abbot to take over, teach the local people to accept ten loads of vegetables every day, and the rest belong to you." Zhishen said: "The elder of this master really asked the restaurant to ask a monk to do it, but he didn't teach the monk to be a temple supervisor, how to teach the restaurant to manage the vegetable garden?" "

The first seat said: "Senior brother, you don't have to save it." You are new to hanging, and you have no merit, how can you do the temple? The steward of the garden is also a great ministry. "

Zhishen said: "The restaurant doesn't care about the vegetable garden; Kill the temple, supervise the temple! "

Zhike said again: "You listen to me and you." The members of the Sangha have their own heads. And if the little monk is a knowing guest, he only cares about the officials and monks who come and go. As Vena, waiter, secretary, first; This is all a clean job, and it is not easy to do. capital temple, supervising temple, mentioning point, courtyard master; These are all in charge of permanent property. You have only just reached the abbot, how can you be in the high ministry? and the one who is in charge of the treasure, called the treasurer; The one in charge of the temple is called the master of the temple; Those who manage the pavilion are called the cabinet masters; The one who manages the edge is called the master; Those who manage the bathhouse are called the bath master; These are all principals, middle ministries. There is also the head of the tower, the head of the rice, the head of the tea, the head of the east toilet and the head of the vegetable garden; These are the first ministers, the last ministries. If you have been in charge of the vegetable garden for a year, you will be promoted to be a tower, and you will be promoted to be a bathing master for another year, and you will be promoted to be a bathing master; Another year, well, to be a temple supervisor. "

Zhishen said: "In this case, when you are also born, the restaurant will go tomorrow." "

Elder Qing saw that Zhishen was willing to go, so he stayed in the abbot to rest.

On the same day, the ministry was agreed, and then the list was written, and the first person was sent to the vegetable garden to retreat to the temple to hang up the list of the treasurers, and the paper was delivered tomorrow.

They dispersed that night.

The next morning, Elder Qing ascended to the Dharma seat, bet on the Fati, and entrusted Zhishen to manage the vegetable garden.

Zhishen received the Dharma in front of the seat, resigned from the elder, carried the package, straddled the sword, carried the Zen staff, and the two monks who were sent to the hospital came straight to the abbot outside the sour jujube gate.

It is said that there are twenty or thirty gambling in the left and west of the vegetable garden, and they are often in the garden, stealing vegetables and vegetables, and relying on their health; Because he came to steal vegetables, he saw a new Kusi list text hanging on the door of Yuyu, which said: "Lu Zhishen, a monk in charge of the vegetable garden of Daxiangguo Temple, came to be the abbot, and he will be in charge from tomorrow, and he will not allow idle people to enter the garden to disturb." "

When the few splashes saw it, they went to discuss with the crowd and said, "Daxiangguo Temple sent a monk - what Lu Zhishen - to take care of the vegetable garden. Let's take advantage of his new arrival, find a trouble, beat the head, and teach the guy to obey us! "

One of the numbers said, "I have a point." He didn't know me, so we went to find trouble? When he came, lure him to the dung cellar, only to congratulate him, grab his feet with both hands, and somersault to go up to the dung cellar, just to play a little trick on him. "

Zhong Popi said: "Okay! Nervous! "

The discussion has been decided, and it is up to him to come.

But it was said that Lu Zhishen came to the inner room of the retreat and settled the package, luggage, leaned on the Zen staff, hung up the ring knife, and several kinds of authentic people came to worship, but one of the locks and keys was delivered.

The two monks said goodbye to the old abbot and the old monk, and they must go to the temple.

Let's say that Zhishen went out to the vegetable garden and looked east and west, looking at the garden.

I saw these twenty or thirty splashes holding some fruit boxes and wine gifts, and they all smiled and said, "I heard that when Master came to live in the new place, our neighbors and neighbors came to celebrate. "

Zhishen didn't know what the plan was, so he walked straight to the edge of the dung cellar.

The gang stepped forward together, one snatching the left foot, the other grabbing the right foot, hoping to come and turn the wisdom deep.

Only teach Zhishen; On tiptoe, the tiger in front of the mountain is frightened; When the fist fell, the dragon in the sea lost fear.
