"Miaolian Temple?" Li Muchan asked, "Where is it?"

"It seems to be in Chunhua City. Lonely Sky said: "It's fifty miles away from our Donglai Town, not far away." ”

Li Muchan said: "Why did you invite me to Miaolian Temple?"

Silence said: "The old monk's name is Cheng Jing, he said that the previous presiding officer passed away, and he is now the presiding, but he knows that his cultivation is insufficient, and he is overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility, and he heard the name of the master, and wants to invite the master over." ”

Li Muchan pondered for a moment and nodded.

Lonely Sky hurriedly said, "Does Master agree?"

Li Muchan smiled: "What do you think?"

Lonely Sky nodded hurriedly and said, "Of course I have to agree, Chunhua City is a big city, very prosperous, there are more people who believe in Buddhism there, and Master can better propagate the Dharma when he goes there." ”

Li Muchan looked at him with a smile, scratched his head in silence, and said embarrassedly: "Of course, I also want to open my eyes, I haven't been to Chunhua City since I was a child." ”

Li Muchan turned his head to look at Jing'er, Jing'er lowered her head embarrassedly, Li Muchan smiled: "Jing'er doesn't want to go?"

Jing'er raised her head and said, "Master, I'm leaving, what should my mother do?"

"Of course, let's go along. Lonely Sky hurriedly said: "Although our town is good, but Chunhua City is so lively, Aunt Zhao will also like it." ”

Jing'er said: "Mother, she likes to be quiet." ”

"That's Aunt Zhao coaxing you to play, I think Aunt Zhao likes to be lively the most, but I'm afraid that you will be anxious, so I can only accompany you at home, saying that I like to be quiet. Silence said busily.

Li Muchan smiled and said, "Silence is right,...... Alright, Silence, you go and ask this Master of Tranquility to come over, and I will meet him. ”

"He's just waiting outside, I have to see the master." ”

Li Muchan said: "Please let him in." ”

"Yes, Master. Silent Sky nodded hurriedly, turned and walked out.

Li Muchan slapped his face to calm down the beasts, and they lay on the ground, lazily preparing to doze off, ignoring the outside.

As soon as they lay down, Silent Sky brought in an old monk, with white eyebrows, about sixty or seventy years old, with a ruddy face and a blazing spirit, although he was old but not pale.

"Old man Chengjing has seen Master Zhan Ran," the old monk tithes.

Li Muchan smiled: "Master Chengjing doesn't need to be polite, please speak in the hall." ”

He led the old monk Cheng Jing into the hall, the hall was cleaned spotlessly, this is the credit of Jing'er, although the silence is diligent, but the cleaning has little effect, although it is not dirty, but it always looks messy, at this time the hall is orderly, at a glance it is Jing'er's handwriting.

Sitting down on the futon, Jing'er brought tea in, and then quietly retreated, leaving only Li Muchan and the old monk Qingjing in the main hall.

Li Muchan smiled and said, "Master Chengjing is the presiding officer of Miaolian Temple?"

"Alas...... After the death of the master, he could only reluctantly preside over the Miao Lian Temple, but unfortunately the Buddhism is not refined, the incense is not prosperous, and he is really ashamed of the ancestors of the past dynasties" Chengjing monk shook his head and smiled bitterly, sighing again and again.

Li Muchan muttered: "Miaolian Temple is located outside Chunhua City?"

"Exactly. Monk Chengjing nodded and said: "This is a treasure of feng shui, the incense is prosperous, but unfortunately since the death of the master, I have no virtue and incompetence, and the continuous loss of believers is now more and more unbearable. ”

Li Muchan muttered: "It stands to reason that this will not be the case, could it be that another high-ranking monk appeared and took away the incense of Miaolian Temple?"

Monk Chengjing nodded and said, "Master Zhan Ran's guess is right, there is also a Miaohua Temple next to us, which was built by Uncle Cheng. ”

Li Muchan said: "The master's uncle is still alive, isn't he?"

"Exactly. Monk Chengjing nodded and said, "Although the old man works hard to practice, he is still a little worse than the uncle who came, and everyone still believes in the uncle." ”...,

"Uncle Ling and Master Ling are at odds?" Li Muchan muttered.

Monk Chengjing nodded and said, "Uncle and Master are not personal grudges, but different views on Buddhism, one emphasizes merit and the other emphasizes practice. ”

Li Muchan said: "The two are equally important, why deviate?"

"Uncle Shi said to the master that a person's lifespan is limited, and if you want to become a Buddha, you need to go through several lifetimes of reincarnation, and the master advocates increasing merit in order to wait for the next life to be easy to cultivate, and the uncle said that cultivation is the foundation, which is merit, and there is no need to seek external help. ”

Li Muchan smiled: "In the end, those who don't value merit are very popular, does Master Chengjing feel very ironic, so he lost confidence?"

Monk Chengjing smiled bitterly and nodded: "The master really has a vision like electricity, and his magical powers are vast, and he can break my attachment at once, and the old man is ashamed." ”

Li Muchan groaned: "I don't know how old your uncle is?"

"It's about the same as the old man. "Monk Chengjing said.

Li Muchan said: "It seems that he is also a monk who has achieved cultivation, admire." ”

Monk Chengjing looked at him fixedly: "I don't know if the master is willing to move the Buddha's toes and settle in Miaolian Temple?"

Li Muchan said with a smile: "Let me compare myself with Uncle Ling? Buddhist disciples don't have hatred or attachment, old monk, you really can't cultivate at home." ”

Monk Chengjing said helplessly: "If it is Lao Ke alone, I naturally don't care, but this is about the ancestor and the master, Lao Ke can only cling to it once, and I hope the master will save me."

Li Muchan knows the cognition of Buddhist disciples, merit with him, incense concentrating, and the incense offered by mortals is not useless, but practical.

Li Muzen has achieved success in cultivation and knows each other, so he knows the wonders, ordinary people don't know, and those who can't practice are just known, but they can't see it.

Incense entrusts people's trust, can go straight to the heart, to the underworld, to the Yin God is of great help, very important, this point from childhood Buddha cultivators through indoctrination, can be convinced.

Li Muchan could see through the depth of Monk Chengjing at a glance, and his mind could be seen clearly, knowing that he was convinced, but not convinced.

But even so, it is better to believe in it, so it is anxious that the incense is prosperous.

"In this way, I'll go and see if there is a fate with me, if there is a fate, I will go there to live temporarily, if not, then there is no need to be reluctant, how, Chengjing monk?" Li Muchan muttered.

The old monk Chengjing nodded busily and smiled: "Okay, when will Master Zhan Ran leave?"

Li Muchan said: "Let's go now"

"Okay, master, please" Monk Chengjing nodded hurriedly.

Li Muchan turned his head and said, "Silence, you and Jing'er should come along." ”

Lonely Sky glanced at the beasts uneasily, Li Muchan smiled: "Let them stay here for the time being, don't worry, they won't hurt people." ”

Lonely Sky nodded excitedly: "Yes, Master." ”

The two followed behind Li Muchan, left Yuanxin Temple with Monk Chengjing, passed through Donglai Town, and then walked north, all the way to the north.

After leaving Donglai Town, Monk Chengjing Shi launched light skills, his cultivation is not high, and he has not yet reached the realm of grandmasters, but light skills are a little hot.

Li Muchan shook his head, it seems that he pays too much attention to merit, but has no intention of cultivating, so his cultivation is so low, it is almost the same as the void.

How long has the Silent Sky been cultivating, and how long has the old monk been cultivating, it is really misguided.

Jing'er's cultivation is not enough, but she is relaxed, her feet do not touch the ground, and the old monk Chengjing is amazed, he can see that Jing'er's cultivation will never be so easy to perform light skills.

Li Muchan supported Jing'er forward with invisible power, she almost didn't have to rush by herself, looking around along the way, her beautiful little face was full of curiosity and excitement.

She stayed in the house since she was a child, couldn't move, coughed and wheezed at the slightest movement, and her body was too weak, so she hardly went out, and even if she did, she couldn't get out of Donglai Town. ...,

She had never seen the outside world, looking at every grass and tree, every flower and stone, she felt wonderful, and her heart was full of joy and excitement.

Li Muchan and the others were infected by her, and they also found it interesting, and they did not feel tired at all when they walked, but only felt it for a moment.

But half an hour of effort, they arrived at a big city, "Chunhua City" three stone plaques carved above the city gate hole, simple and pale.

"Our Myolian Temple is in the north, and we need to go through the city. "Monk Chengjing said.

Li Muchan nodded, the four of them entered the city, and then passed through the bustling crowd, Jing'er became more and more curious, her eyes were not enough, she looked east and west, left and right.

Li Muchan turned a blind eye to such prosperity, but Lonely Sky was also full of interest, and Monk Chengjing smiled proudly: "Miss Jing'er, Lonely Sky, come and see, you can come and visit often." ”

Silent Sky smiled: "That's very good, Master, this place is really much more lively than our town."

Li Muchan smiled: "Yes, the prosperous and charming eyes, don't you feel excited?"

"Of course. Lonely Sky nodded vigorously: "Master, you see, there are all kinds of things, in our town, it's impossible to buy these."

Li Muchan shook his head and said with a smile: "Monk, let's go quickly." ”

Monk Chengjing smiled: "Jing'er and Silent Sky are both here for the first time, no wonder so, I feel ordinary after seeing too much, nothing remarkable." ”

Silent Sky smiled: "Then you have to see too much, Master, let's live here."

Li Muchan shook his head and ignored it, quickened his pace, and the monk Chengjing saw it, so he could only speed up his pace and follow closely, and the four of them soon came to the north gate, and after going out, it was the plain, the plain was a piece of woods, and above the woods were the reckless mountains, so it looked like the mountains were in the woods.

The four of them walked from the avenue first, walked a mile, began to fold to the side, went up a path, passed through a pine forest, came to the foot of a mountain, walked up the stone steps, and reached the halfway point of this hill, in front of them was a temple with yellow tiles and red walls.

The glazed roof of this temple glows magnificently in the setting sun, and it is really magnificent, and it is dazzling to see the silence and silence.

Monk Chengjing looked at Li Muchan, but saw that Li Muchan was calm, and there was no surprise at all.

"Master, this is our Myolian Temple. Monk Chengjing pointed proudly, and then pointed to the temple on a hill opposite, which was faintly visible among the branches, and compared to this side, it looked a little dilapidated, as if it had fallen into disrepair.

Monk Chengjing sighed: "That's Miaohua Temple. ”

Li Muchan nodded: "It seems that your master and apprentice have put a lot of effort into this temple." ”

Monk Chengjing said: "Yes, we molded the golden body, repaired the temple, and suffered a lot to build the Miaolian Temple like this, but unfortunately when the master went, I couldn't support it alone." ”

Li Muchan said: "You guys...... Forget it, let's go in and have a look. ”

The four of them went up the stairs and came to the temple, which was a flat open space with a few ginkgo trees, all of which were stout and hugging.

Passing through the ginkgo tree, going up the stone steps to push open the temple door, you will see a large hall, the golden body of the Buddha on the hall is high, solemn and solemn, the momentum is compelling, and people suddenly have a sense of reverence and insignificance.

Li Muchan nodded: "It seems to be a Buddha statue made by a famous teacher." ”

Monk Chengjing said proudly: "It is a believer at home who sculpts, and the spiritual makeup is really a rare boutique." ”

Li Muchan said: "It is indeed a boutique, and you are usually the only one who handles it?"

"I also took in a disciple. The monk said, raising his voice: "Sex is true"

"Master" Soon a little monk ran out.

This little monk is fat, round face, a group of joy, about fifteen or sixteen years old, looking younger than Jing'er, as soon as he saw the monk Chengjing, he ran over busily, like a round ball, and smiled: "Master, you are finally back"...,

Monk Chengjing said in a deep voice, "Why did you close the door so early?"

The little monk said busily: "The master is not here these days, no one has come to the door, master, can you invite that Zhan Ran monk?"

He looked left and right, skimmed over Li Muchan, looked at the silent sky again, and turned his eyes, and finally fell on Jing'er, looked at it a few times, felt that it didn't look like it, turned his head and said, "Master, didn't invite the Zhanran monk?"

"Sex is true, are you......" Cheng Jing shook his head and sighed: "You have to practice your eyes well, you haven't grown at all, Master Zhan Ran is in front of you, you don't know it"

"Ahh

Li Muchan smiled and said: "The monk doesn't dare to be a monk, the little monk is clear."

"Ah, so young" The young monk suddenly widened his eyes, opened his mouth, and then turned his head to Monk Chengjing and said, "Master, is it a mistake?"

"Shut up," Monk Chengjing hurriedly shouted.

Sexually closed his mouth in a hurry, but his eyes were gurgling, swirling on Li Muchan's face, and his curious eyes were shining.

Li Muchan smiled and said: "Emptiness is color, color is emptiness, sex is true monk, you are looking"

The little monk nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, I'm looking good, I've seen the Zhan Ran monk."

Monk Chengjing waved his hand, signaling him to step back, don't be embarrassed here, turned his head and smiled: "Master, let's take a look at our temple."

Li Muchan nodded, accompanied by the monk Chengjing, and slowly walked around this Miaolian Temple, the front was built very magnificently, quite splendid, but when he arrived at the back of the meditation room, he suddenly changed a world, so simple that it was even a little simple, the house had not been repaired for a long time, and the front was a day and a place.

Li Muchan didn't say much, although the monks Chengjing went astray, but they couldn't doubt their piety, and they were so strict with themselves, but there was still some hope.

Faith is the first thing to enter Buddhism, and many people practice for a long time but have nothing to gain, precisely because they believe in injustice, believe in truth, believe in insincerity, and believe in infirmity.

If you have firm faith and righteous thoughts, your practice will inevitably be a thousand miles a day, and you will be brave and diligent, which is the essence of Dharma practice.

Seeing this, Xingzhen walked cautiously, followed behind everyone, and suddenly "gurgling" ran out of a steamed bun, black.

Sex was really busy running over to pick it up, and hurriedly withdrew it in his arms with a red face, but Li Muchan had already seen it, this was a black-faced steamed bun.

Monk Chengjing glared at him, and then continued to take everyone to wander around as if nothing happened, and quickly walked around and returned to the front of the main hall, and said with a smile: "Master Zhan Ran, can you still see it here?"

Li Muchan nodded: "It's well taken care of, which shows your intentions." ”

"What does the master mean......?" Monk Chengjing looked at him.

Li Muchan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll be stationed in Miaolian Temple and ask for three chapters of the law." ”

"Please speak," Monk Chengjing nodded hurriedly.

Li Muchan said: "First, as the host, I am the master of everything, even if I say that I want to demolish the temple, I must obey it." ”

Monk Chengjing thought about it, looked around, turned his head to look at the other side, gritted his teeth, and nodded vigorously: "Okay, Lao Qu Yide"

Li Muchan nodded: "Second, as the host, I am the host, and the monk you have descended to the next generation, and you need to be a disciple." ”

"Yide" Monk Chengjing nodded without hesitation: "The master's cultivation is exquisite, the Dharma is profound, the master is the first, I am willing to bow to the wind"

On the road of cultivation, the master is the first, it is right to respect the old and love the young, it is related to cultivation but there is no need to listen to the old man, Li Muchan has the heart to become a pure old monk, and he needs to beat his ego first, so that his heart is calm.

"Third, let go of the grievances with Myoka Temple. Li Mu said. ...,

Monk Chengjing was stunned and hesitated: "This ......"

Li Muchan said: "Buddhism has clouds, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha, you can't let go, keep clinging, it's a demonic obstacle, how can you have any practice?"

"But......" Monk Chengjing hesitated.

Li Muchan smiled: "The way to do things is self-improvement, you must not compete with others, but self-improvement is good, relax your heart, you can naturally let go of attachment and not be moved by external things,...... Monk, your cultivation skills are too poor."

“...... Yes, I agreed," Monk Chengjing nodded vigorously.

Li Muchan stroked his palms and smiled: "In this case, we are not outsiders,...... Lonely empty, go to the city and buy some good food. ”

"Yes, Master. Lonely Sky nodded proudly, looking excited, the master finally agreed, it was wonderful to be able to live in the temple outside Chunhua City

Li Muchan said softly: "Chengjing, you tell the believers, I will open the altar in seven days, please come and listen." ”

"Yes, abbot" Chengjing monk Heshi nodded: "I will go to the city and tell from door to door." ”

Li Muchan said: "I don't ask how to do it, I only ask about the result, and when I come back in silence, you masters and apprentices have a good meal, don't suffer from eating, and only when you are full can you settle down and practice well,...... I'll come back in seven days, so you don't have to follow me. ”

"Yes, Abbot. Monk Chengjing nodded respectfully.

Li Muchan looked at him and shook his head, at first glance, he really had a bit of a monk's demeanor, and he had a childish face, only to find out after getting along with him that the old monk was an idiot and really needed good guidance.
