A touch of sunset, through the tile cracks on the roof of the hall, sprinkled on the body, will sit in the hall of the Mahavira Wuxu, dyed golden.

From early morning to dusk, Wuxu sat motionless on the ground facing the Buddha statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Outside, there were a few crisp chirps, and a few small brown and green-tailed birds flew into the hall and circled around Wuxu, and one of them was bold, landing on Wuxu's shoulder, pulling a bubble of, and then vibrating their wings triumphantly, and flew out of the open window with their companions.

Suddenly, Wu Xuan opened his eyes, and his divine sense sensed that someone was coming.

In a few moments, two bright heads peeked out from the side of the door and peered into the hall. Then, a group of monks walked in with a swagger. Wuxu turned around out of thin air and looked at these strange-looking monks.

I saw these people, carrying hoes and wooden barrels and pans, their wet trouser legs covered with mud, and they looked like they had just returned from working in the fields.

In the temple, when times are difficult, it is common to engage in labor. However, these monks, Wuxu seems to be authentic farmers. How to say it, it seems that a few peasants occasionally come to the temple to make a cameo appearance as a monk.

A bald monk who seemed to be in the lead instructed everyone to put hoes, barrels and other objects at the feet of Wei Dao on the left side of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and then walked to Wuxu's side and saluted with one hand, "Where did this benefactor come from?

Wuxu was almost angry and scolded there, these people actually put the hoe barrel in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and looking at the situation, they are already accustomed to it. What's even more odious is that when the leading monk asked himself, the people around him all kept looking at him, and his eyes were naked.

Wu Xuan forcibly endured the dissatisfaction in his heart, and clasped his hands together, "Amitabha-" was about to say down, only to hear a loud noise, and a wooden barrel placed at Wei Tuo's feet turned to the ground, and the sea water could cover the ground; Wu Xuan turned his head to see that the wooden barrel that had fallen to the ground shook for a while, and several crabs crawled out of it and ran rampant in the main hall.

The leading monk, not caring that outsiders were here, hurriedly commanded, "Hurry up, the crab has run out." ”

Wu Xu's seven orifices smoked, he couldn't bear it, jumped up, and shouted, "Enough!" After speaking, he directly swept his sleeves, and a gust of wind swept these monks, the crabs that were rampant and domineering on the ground, as well as those hoes and barrels and other objects, all of them outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Then he also walked out, and let go of the momentum of the eighth layer of mortal dust, so that the monks who were about to get up couldn't move on the ground.

The leading monks, feeling the pure and pure aura of Buddhism, hurriedly shouted, "Master is angry, master is angry." ”

Wuxu said in a deep voice, "As a monk in the temple, but you are doing such nonsense, don't you know that my Buddhism has both low-eyed Bodhisattvas and angry-eyed Vajra?"

After saying that, I don't want to listen to these people's explanations, such a big mistake, no matter how there is a reason, it is impossible to escape cause and effect. With a wave of his hand, he pointed to a person, "As a monk, how can you eat meat in the temple? ”

With another wave of his hand, he pointed to the two of them again, "Daxiong Treasure Hall, clean it, add sesame oil, and light incense candles." ”

With another wave of his hand, he pointed to the four people, "In addition to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the side hall in the temple, where there is an offering, it must be cleaned like the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and add incense and refuel." ”

Finally, he pointed to the monk who asked him, "The golden bodies of the three Buddhas, and even the Guanyin Master Cihang Pudu, are wiped clean by you inch by inch with cotton yarn." ”

The leading monk, waiting for Wuxu to regain his momentum, got up, walked up to Wuxu pitifully, and said, "Dare to ask the master, where are the golden bodies of the three Buddhas?"

Wuxu's eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, and the monk only felt that his whole body was hot, and he said, "Master is angry, Putuo Island is the dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and only the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva are respected." ”

Wuxu smiled angrily, stretched out his hand, took the monk to his side, took his hand, turned to face the Mahavira Treasure Hall, and said to him with a wry smile, "In the middle is the present Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha, on the left is the Buddha of the previous life, and on the right is the future Buddha Maitreya Buddha." ”

The monk, seeing that Wuxu finished speaking, became angry again, and became wise in a hurry, and said, "Amitabha, the little monk will go to find cotton yarn and water." With that, he ran away.

Wu Xuan sat in the hall of the Mahavira and released his divine sense, covering the whole temple and allowing these monks to perceive it.

These monks, one by one, did not dare to steal and play tricks, and worked very hard. In the middle of the night, one by one was so tired that he was hunched over, and Wuxu patrolled one by one, nodding his head reservedly, and the person in charge was relieved and gasped.

When Wuxu walked to Guanyin Master Cihang Pudu, he looked at the defect at the bottom of the net bottle, frowned and asked the leading monk, "Why is there a defect here that is not repaired?

The leading monk, with a sad face, knelt down on the futon, and bowed to Guanyin Bodhisattva, "The Bodhisattva is above, the little monk is good, how dare you see the net bottle in the Bodhisattva's hand is broken and not repaired, but it is not easy to make up for it, and after a few days, it will crack again." Could it be that the Bodhisattva has taught something?"

Wu Xu's heart moved, raised his head, and looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva above the fish between the blue waves.

"Could it be that Guanyin Bodhisattva really showed that something was missing from sentient beings? But what exactly does this teaching refer to?"

I also remembered that I was in Lushan Miaofa Peak, secretly drinking and eating meat with Zhu Yuanzhang, and Wuxi City turned into a wolf demon to assassinate Xue Mingming, and even performed the Heavenly Demon Dance with Zhao Tong in Anfeng City. Finally, there is the mysterious old man I met last night.

When he came back to his senses, Wuxu saw a group of monks around him, looking at him, and one of them dared to ask, "Master, what does Guanyin Bodhisattva have to say?"

Wuxu shook his head.

That medicine good, with a thunderclap in his stomach, said cautiously, "Master, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?"

Wuxu took a closer look, and all the monks around him looked at him in a daze, and said, "I don't care, you have worked hard all day, hurry up and eat." ”

Yao Shan was immediately admired, "It turns out that the master can already eat and drink dew, and Jindan is a great success." ”

Wuxu smiled bitterly and waved his hand, he is obviously a person in Buddhism, how can he come to Jindan Dacheng?

The medicine good, seeing Wuxu waving his hand, beckoned everyone, rushed out, outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall, surrounded by a few basins, carefully divided the food, sat on the ground, and devoured it.

Wuxu glanced at it, and there was no meat such as crabs in those pots, but some unknown wild vegetables.

He was about to meditate on the ground, but suddenly a young monk broke out and cried bitterly, and his voice became louder and louder. Yao Shan and the others, seeing that they had alarmed Wuxu in the hall, hurriedly stepped forward to coax him, and one of them even directly covered his mouth with his hand.

Wuxu walked out, looked at the little monk with tears on his face, and asked softly, "This junior brother, why are you crying sadly? Could it be that the little monk scared you during the day?"

The little monk, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, was crying while wiping the tears from his face, and said vaguely, "I want to eat crabs."

A monk next to him said, "Little Liu, a monk, can't kill and eat meat, this is the rule of the temple." ”

The little monk cried wow, "I don't leave home, my home is in Baotuo Guanyin Temple." ”

Wuxu said to Yao Shan, "He is a little doll, he doesn't want to become a monk, and it is the time to grow his body, why don't he place him outside the temple, take care of it every day, and let him arrange his own diet?"

Medicine is good, only promised, and dare not deal with it. However, there was a person next to him, who seemed to be closer to Xiao Liu, and said, "The master doesn't know, there is an order on Dongji Island, if you don't become a monk, you can't stay on the island." ”

When Wu Xuan heard this, he asked angrily, "Why is this? Dongji Island is so domineering, and it is too lenient!"

Everyone did not dare to answer, and looked at each other, as if they were very afraid.

Wuxu pointed at Yao Shan, "You answer." ”

Yao Shan, just kowtowed to the ground, not daring to say a word.

Wuxu said angrily, "People like you who are greedy for life and afraid of death, how can you cultivate the Dharma, live and die, achieve nirvana, and be at ease!?"

Seeing that everyone was still silent, they were so angry that they couldn't do it, so they took out a piece of salted crab that they had just bought from the dock from the Sumeru ring and handed it to the doll named Xiaoliu, "There is one here, the little monk got it from him, it is the three pure meat that is 'not seen or heard', you eat it first." ”

The little six didn't stretch out his hand to take it, and said to Wuxu, sobbing, "Master, is this to drive Xiao Liu out of the temple?"

Wuxu was stunned for a moment, and then said warmly, "Monks, in the temple, do not eat meat, this is a precept. ”

The little six pouted, "My father and mother have never left Baotuo Temple before their deaths, and I am also Guanyin Bodhisattva who watched me fall from my mother's womb, and I won't leave." ”

Wuxu looked at Xiao Liu, who had a handful of snot and tears on his face, but he didn't know what to say for a while. Buddhism has rules and precepts, if you are a layman, it is good, but if you are in a temple, you still want to eat crabs, then how can you do it? Thinking of myself, I also secretly ate and drank with Zhu Yuanzhang, and vainly belittled the Buddha's door, and after being expelled from the teacher's door, I still demanded myself with the standard of an idle Buddhist cultivator and layman. You can usually drink wine and eat meat, and when you go to the temple, you must abide by the rules.

This little six, an ordinary secular doll, is just a temple since childhood. Not to mention why Dongji Island made the rule of "if you don't leave home, you will leave the island", and how his parents were in the temple, from the perspective of Buddhist teachings alone, it is not suitable to stay in the Baotuo Guanyin Temple.

Just thinking in my heart, I was embarrassed, and a faint voice suddenly came from the Mandala Dharma Realm, "Wuxu, should this crab-eating Xiaoliu stay in Baotuo Temple?"

Enlightened, the divine consciousness entered the Dharma realm, only to see Guanyin in the mural on the left side of the Buddha hall, holding the blue sea pearl, counting unhurriedly. Immediately, he folded his palms and bowed, "What does the Bodhisattva think?"

In the mural, Guanyin Bodhisattva has low eyebrows and counts beads, and he can't see his expression clearly. Wuxu only heard a voice ringing in his ears, "You cause and effect, you are meritorious." ”

At this time, suddenly, unexpectedly, the cry of the little six reached the Dharma Realm. Just listened, while wiping his tears, Xiao Liu said to the people around him who persuaded him, "Xiao Liu won't dare to eat crabs in the future, don't drive me out of Baotuo Temple, okay?"

Wuxu was in a trance for a while, as if he had returned to the original Lushan Miaofa Peak. Elder Miaoyin, the master, sat on the meditation couch in the mist-shrouded meditation room, and told himself that the Buddha Gate was pure and not suitable for him, so it was best to go down the mountain. After that, the world whirled, and he fell from the Sandi Spring with the blue sea pearl.

Everyone was surrounding Xiao Liu, each persuading him, and suddenly he saw Wuxu with a solemn face, standing there with tears streaming down his face, and he was stammering, at a loss.

I saw Wuxu walking to Xiao Liu's side, staring at Xiao Liu for a moment, then turning to look at the Guanyin Bodhisattva Cihang Pudu, and said softly, "The little monk won't drive you away, because you are the first person to eat crabs." ”

That's right

When I first arrived at your temple, the monks were busy, and the hoe barrel was next to Wei Dao.

Wuxu is angry and clears the dojo, and the Bodhisattva tastes the crab in front of the throne.
