Chapter 25: Dialogue

Fa Hui bowed and said, "I don't know if the abbot is okay." "This is asking about the body of Fan.

"It's still the same." Fan Fan raised his eyebrows lightly and replied: "I have been practicing this Kurong Zen for several months, and the affairs in the temple have been handed over to the two of you to deal with, and everything does not need to go through me, but why did you come down this time?" ”

Fa Hui said: "There are a few major things, the disciples and junior disciples are struggling, so they come to ask the abbot to decide. ”

Fan closed his eyes: "Speak." ”

Fa Hui continued: "The first thing is about the Buddha worship ceremony in late autumn, and it stands to reason that there is still some time to disturb the abbot. But because of the conflict between the Holy Maiden of Tianzong and the Golden Dragon Temple, the relics were a little aware of the matter, so they specially sent the great eunuch of the palm seal of the celebrant to check the Buddha treasure......"

"Is the relics gone?" Lifan interrupted Fa Hui's words and asked.

Fa Hui replied, "It has been sent and is now being guarded by the Dharma Ring." ”

"Okay." Lifan praised and said, "You don't need to show him." ”

Fa Hui: "...... Abbot, is this inappropriate, after all, it is the celebrant ......"

Fan seemed to sigh and interrupted: "What's wrong? ”

Fa Hui retracted, and Fa Wu smiled: "It's all wrong, that's what I mean, abbot." Our Linjue Temple is also one of the two Zen temples, and what about the celebrant supervisor. Besides, if he wants to see the Buddha's treasure, he can show him, that doesn't mean that we have a weak heart, it's better not to show him, and save trouble. ”

Fan Fu sighed: "Finished? Next. ”

Fa Hui nodded: "The second thing is still the matter of the Golden Dragon Temple and the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect." The Holy Maiden of Tianzong killed Hui Neng of Jinlong Temple in a village, and then used the identity of Tianzong to add that Buddha treasure to oppress people. The abbot of the Golden Dragon Temple was angry, so he asked us to ask the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect for an explanation. ”

Fan: "What do you two think about this?" ”

Fa Hui: "The holy daughter of Tianzong is kind to our temple when she sends Buddha treasures, so naturally she can't be ungrateful. In recent years, Jinlong Temple has repeatedly expanded its temple and forcibly occupied Futian, which is already hurtful to heaven and reason. I mean, ignore it. ”

Fa Wu shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate." Abbot. Although Jinlong Temple deserves it, it is also a person in Buddhism, since our Linjue Temple is the leader of Buddhism in Southern Chu, it is also appropriate to help him ask for a statement. I think it's better to let the holy woman confront the abbot of the Golden Dragon Temple, and let the holy woman talk about the good things they have done, so that we can not only give an explanation to the Southern Chu Buddhism, but also knock and knock the Golden Dragon Temple. ”

Fa Hui glanced at Fa Wu and did not speak.

Lifan sighed again: "Listen to Fahui." ”

Fa Wu frowned and was about to say something, when he heard Fa Hui speak: "The third thing is related to the Buddha worship ceremony at the end of autumn. As in the past, before the ceremony, His Majesty would live in the Linjue Temple. And among the people accompanying him this time, the one in charge of guarding is the Zhang family......"

Fa Wu interjected: "Which frontier is it, this time he obstructed the matter of borrowing the Buddha Treasure in every way, and even invited the killer of the Yama Palace." I hate our Linjue Temple very much. ”

Fa Hui nodded: "The abbot does have something to do, and before the Buddha worship ceremony this time, Zhang Bianjiang also suggested to His Majesty that he should choose a few people to compare martial arts with my Linjue Temple." He said that he wanted to show Nanchu's martial arts in front of the people who were watching the ceremony from other countries, but I think his spearhead was still pointed at our Linjue Temple. ”

Lifan: "Has Your Majesty agreed?" ”

Fa Hui nodded: "Your Majesty agreed, but he also respected the meaning of our Linjue Temple, and sent someone to inform us and ask us if we should fight." ”

Lifan: "That's already decided." ”

Fa Hui nodded: "That's the reason." ”

Fa Wu said: "In this case, you should go all out, and let the four disciples face the battle." ”

Li Fan said, "Let's talk about it." ”

Fa Hui and Fa Wu were both stunned, they didn't know what Fan meant, the ceremony was imminent, Zhang Bianjiang had already set up the ring, but Fan still said "Let's talk about it"?

Lifan: "Anything else?" ”

Fa Hui and Fa Wu bowed: "No." ”

Lifan sighed: "Hongchen is too disturbing, and the Buddha is too idle." The wayfinder asked more questions, and slept with a smile. Dharma wisdom, Dharma enlightenment. ”

Fa Hui, Fa Wu: "The disciple is here." ”

Lifan: "You are still monks." ”

Fa Hui and Fa Wu were both stunned, and from the tone of Lifan, they heard a trace of dissatisfaction, but they didn't know what they had done wrong.

Fa Hui and Fa Wu both took a breath and knelt down: "Respectfully accept the abbot's advice." ”

Lifan: "I am also to blame for this matter, but I shouldn't have handed over this Linjue Temple to you to take care of, and I missed your practice." Fa Hui, you are delicate, which is a good thing, but it is easy to think too much and involve too much. Fa Enlightenment: You are decisive in doing things, but you are so ambitious, and it is easy to indulge in power. In today's conversation, the impact of this acting position on your practice has been revealed...... It's not suitable, for the next period of time, you can leave things to the Fa Neng, go back to your respective meditation rooms to practice, and wait for your mind to calm down before coming out. ”

Fa Hui and Fa Wu were stunned for a moment, and Fa Wu begged for mercy: "Are you waiting to worship the Buddha ......ceremony?"

Lifan snorted, and Fa Wu held back the second half of the sentence. Then he bowed: "The disciple knows his mistake and receives the abbot's decree." Then the two of them walked out in a bit of a dismay.

Behind the stone wall, Yan Yun listened to it sincerely. But I feel that these two are a little miserable, obviously they are thinking about the temple wholeheartedly, why did they end up in confinement. Then I heard the click of the stone wall, presumably that Fa Hui and Fa Wu had left. This time it was Yan Yun's turn to be embarrassed. Well, I already know that there is a big living person down there, but this big living person doesn't seem to have any ill will towards himself, so he can't hide yet.

In the stone cave, quietly, Yan Yun's breathing was extremely loud. In the end, it was Fan who opened his mouth first: "Donor, are you tired?" ”

Yan Yun was embarrassed for a while, climbed out from behind the stone wall, and then bowed to Fan Yi and said, "Meet the abbot, ...... I'm not a bad guy, I'm just passing by...... Passing by ......"

Lifan: "Passing by to the forbidden place of my Linjue Temple?" ”

Yan Yun was taken aback, but said that this place was actually a forbidden place. Damn, I remembered the big bald head that didn't quit in my heart, and said that you didn't cheat me!

Yan Yun: "Ah, this...... I just want to see my friends and know that I can enter the Linjue Temple from here, so I walk from here, but I don't know that this is a forbidden place. ”

Lifan: "I didn't quit to tell you." ”

Yan Yun was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, if you don't quit, it was your abbot who guessed it, but it can't be said that I bought it!

Yan Yun immediately nodded: "Yes!" ”

I saw that Fan's slightly open eyes were completely open, and he looked Yan Yun up and down as if he was looking at some rare and exotic beast.

"Hmm...... I didn't expect it, I always thought it would be a lawless kid. The gods and gods babbled a word, giving Yan Yun a whole cloud of fog.

Lifan: "You can't understand this Kurong Zen Sutra?" ”

Yan Yun looked at the stone wall behind him and replied honestly, "I only understood the first four sentences." ”

Lifan: "Those four sentences? ”

Yan Yun: "The spring breeze rolls up the grass, and life and death are withered." The same dream for thousands of years, eternal sleep. ”

Fan: "What's the explanation?" ”

Yan Yun: "Under the way of heaven, all living beings are like the hundred grasses that are born in spring and die in autumn, born and died, dead and born. Through the ages, it will never change. ”

Lifan: "That...... What do you think about it? ”

Yan Yun scratched his head, but said, "It's too big." ”

Fan: "Too big? ”

Yan Yun: "If it's really as it says in its context, I'm just a little grass among all living beings, Qianqiu?" Eternal? It's too big for me to see, and it's none of my business...... Sentient beings come to this world, but they do not want to be in this world, but since they come, they have to live. And death is normal, there is life and death, but I don't know what is sad...... I don't know what to say, but I think it's okay to care about life and death, but you don't care what he does. ”

"......"

Yan Yun: "Master? ”

But I saw a smile on Fan's withered face, and it felt like the dead wood was spring.

Lifan: "It's too big...... Good, good. Then on that Fan's face, it was the flower that bloomed and failed, the smile dissipated, leaving only bitterness, I saw him open his lips and teeth, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Life and death are withered, I have participated in Zen for half a lifetime, and I will not transition myself after all." ”

Yan Yun: "Master, are you okay?" ”

Fan breathed a long sigh of relief, shook his head and said it was okay.

"Master Yan, you and I are destined." Mortal Dao.

The corners of Yan Yun's mouth twitched, but he said that your next sentence is "You and I are destined, why should you come to be my apprentice?" Yan Yun didn't want to be a monk, so he immediately said: "No fate, no fate." ”

Lifan nodded again: "Yes, yes, it's time for the fate to end." ”

Yan Yun was confused, and Lifan smiled: "It's okay, we still have a relationship with you." But the donor wants to see the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect? ”

Yan Yun nodded hurriedly, and as soon as his mind moved, he only heard the clicking sound, and a path appeared on the left side of the stone cave.

Yan Yun's eyes widened, didn't this monk also become an immortal, how did he do it?

Lifan: "Go ahead, but be careful not to be seen." ”

Yan Yun bowed at the moment, and then ran into the stone path, but he suddenly felt a little sad in his heart, and he didn't know why. He turned his head, but saw that the old monk was still the same, with his eyes closed as if he was dead.

Another side of the relationship? What does that mean?
