Chapter 18: Beginning of the Examination (I)
Hearing that Master Zhiyun had some profound words, Lu Feng was not nervous.
Ten years of waiting, just to go up the ladder.
Even if he obtained a degree in "good knowledge", it was only his first step to the top.
Every step in the future is not necessarily easier than this one.
calmly returned to his monk's room, took out his clothes at the bottom of the box, bathed, changed clothes, and then sat cross-legged in place, silently reciting the six-character mantra.
He felt someone behind him follow.
At this moment, this person has probably arrived at the door of the monk's room.
The mantra of the six-character Da Ming mantra made his heart like a turquoise.
He didn't feel the slightest threat from the man behind him.
Looking up, he saw a strong man who looked like a yak king standing in front of the door, blocking out the sunlight outside the door.
He carried a skull-headed rosary, wore a crimson monk's robe, had a black face, and carried an iron rod, and only now did he make the sound of "tuo", "tuo".
When the surrounding monks saw him, they were all busy saluting, even the red-clothed monks.
"Elder Mingli."
One by one, they folded their hands and bowed, wishing that Elder Mingli could not see them in his eyes, and regarded them as weeds in the wasteland, and did not enter the eyes of this great monk.
Elder Mingli walked past them with his head held high.
Not only do they not feel that they are being ignored.
On the contrary, the atmosphere does not dare to come out with one.
It wasn't until Mingli really went far away that those people dared to act.
Take a long breath out.
I'm glad I'm fine.
The Dharma Protector is not the same as the Duoduo Sangha, who is the ordination monk and judge of the entire temple.
Elder Mingli and the rest of the Dharma Protectors of the Vinaya will appear at every puja, worship ceremony, and major ceremony in the temple, and the precepts that are in charge of the entire ceremony will be like the most severe falcon, scanning all the monks present.
At that time, when they were at their strictest, monks of high status could still alleviate their sins by punishing animals, but groups such as sutra monks did not have the privilege to exempt themselves from punishment if they violated the precepts.
Light ones such as copying scriptures, cleaning, etc., are not a problem.
But if it is a little heavy, it is an extremely terrible thing to hang outside the precept house or to be whipped in the square of the precept house.
There are many monks who have died from the precepts, and some of their heads will be hung in meditation rooms for some of the great monks to understand the "impermanence of life and death", while others are even more miserable, offending the great monks and being dragged to a cave outside the temple for torture.
So seeing this person, Lu Feng hurriedly stood up, folded his hands, and saluted sincerely.
Don't dare to slack off.
Elder Mingli saw Zasa and said, "Duh, Zasa, come with me to the Debate Academy, the time is about to begin." ”
He personally led Zasa to the Debate Academy.
Lu Feng hurriedly picked up the blanket, took out the coptis and safflower from it, and handed it to the lama for worship.
The guru just looked at him and took the offering.
Motioned for him to give him the blanket.
He could not enter the debate house with these blankets of goods.
Lu Feng hesitated slightly, then handed the blanket to the master, who directly put the blanket on his body and motioned for Lu Feng to follow him.
On the way, he met Master Zhiyun, who motioned for Lu Feng to follow him and Elder Mingli.
To be precise, he followed behind him, and he followed behind Elder Mingli, and the order was very obvious.
This is the hierarchy.
There are clear rules on how to walk.
When Master Zhiyun saw Elder Mingli, he also bowed and bowed: "Uncle Mingli." ”
Elder Mingli was irrational, and his iron rod was on the ground, making a dull "toot" sound.
Go ahead.
Hearing this, the monks who were walking in front of them, no matter who they were, hurriedly avoided the side, forming a path to the Debate Academy, and no one dared to stop them.
Lu Feng glanced at it and knew that this was the power brought by the Discipline Academy, and he had the power to deprive people of their lives with a single word.
Just a precept elder can do that.
It is not difficult to imagine how amazing their power can be in the first seat of the Academy of Discipline and the first seat of the Academy.
A word can make the difference between life and death.
He controls the distribution of all the benefits in the temple.
Even if they are fellow monks.
There are also differences that are as big as chasm.
Not to mention monks and slaves, monks and chiefs, toasts and monks, and nobles and monks.
Lu Feng saw many faces along the way, he remembered their names in his heart, the scriptures he was good at and the way he opened his arguments, and some rumors about them, each of them was like a file, recorded in his mind.
Not only that, but all the information about the elders in front of him was also recorded in his mind.
Such a rare moment of sobriety is the so-called no-no-no.
Anyway, Lu Feng remembered all these things in different categories, and these things were beneficial and harmless to him.
His brain, at this moment, is like a brain that has been opened with great wisdom.
There was no room for the slightest rest, and at this time, Lu Feng heard the sound of the magic gong.
Hearing this, all the monks began to move, and they put on their hats and clothes, and followed the various roads from all directions towards the Debate Monastery.
There are five gongs, and each interval has 800 heartbeats.
After five gong sounds, all the monks are in place.
The Endless White Pagoda Temple has one academy with sixteen classes.
Every debater needs to sit down in order according to his class and his position in the class, that is, according to his "profound knowledge" and "class rank".
Each of you will find a place to sit down, and you can begin to debate the Scriptures.
These monks sat in the courtyard of the Debate Academy, the square of the Debate Academy, and the courtyard of the Debate Academy.
Lu Feng was originally sitting at the front, but not at the front.
He has studied hard all these years, and he is also somewhat famous in the Debate Academy, and it stands to reason that he should sit in the fourth row, the row under the steps of the Debate Academy.
But who knows, Zhiyun directly took him past everyone, and walked straight into the debate courtyard after the debate house, no longer following the old rules.
Elder Mingli stood outside the debate chamber, standing there, no longer moving forward.
Lu Feng's blanket was still hanging on his body.
The monks who saw this were very envious.
They knew that this meant that the monk was loved by the great monks, and that he had not been left to debate in the class, and went straight to the last step, debating with all the winners, and when the debate was over, the senior monk began to ask questions.
Generally, at this point, the monk's question is not a problem.
The monks who fancy this monk will get through the relationship.
After the debate.
It's a "big giveaway".
After the completion of the "Great Generous".
It means that the person has completed all the exams of "good knowledge."
And after getting to this point, you don't have to worry about not being able to find your guru.
Because this step of going directly to the backyard is the evidence and steps for the teacher to directly ask him to exempt from the "preliminary examination" after taking a fancy to him.
