Chapter 410: Seeking Merit
Eighteen bronze men, one hundred and eight arhats looked at the Dharma seal.
Fa Yin's old face was blue and red for a while.
Shaolin Temple rules, the Buddhist disciples grooming requirements are very strict, the body, the shape, the face, the virtue, the law, the violation of the temple rules, will be handed over to the precept hall to be punished. Fayin was sleeping, and when he heard what happened here, he couldn't care much about it, so there was this embarrassing scene.
Among the three generations of disciples, Fa Yin has the highest status and is the assistant abbot of Shaolin Temple. Abbot Xuanyin is a spiritual leader and abbot, but he has been practicing in retreat all the year round, not asking about worldly things, and several other Xuanzi generations are either obsessed with martial arts, or studying Buddhism, and do not pay attention to the worldly things of Shaolin Temple. However, Shaolin Temple has a huge industry, and thousands of people such as fields, shops, lower courtyards, and lay disciples must always be taken care of, so this matter falls on Fayin.
As a result, Fa Yin himself wore his socks backwards.
It doesn't matter if you wear it backwards, Huilian and Huida will be broken with one mouth, I'm the assistant abbot, don't you want to lose face?
Fa Yin said, "Let go first." ”
The two let go of their hands, stood up, and bowed their heads without saying a word.
Fa Yin pondered for a moment, and then said, "I practiced the Dharma last night, and I felt that the Dharma has become more and more refined in the past few days, so I am wearing socks today to remind you that you must be clear and quiet, and concentrate on cultivating the Buddha, do you understand?"
Huida and Huilian muttered, what does this have to do with wearing socks backwards, and whispered, "I don't understand." ”
"If you don't understand, that's right!"
"If you can understand, you should be abbots, instead of fighting and killing here!" He added, "From today on, all the people in the Bronze Formation and the Luohan Hall will wear socks for three days to comprehend the supreme Dharma of my Buddha." ”
The people took the command.
Seeing that the situation had calmed down, Li Chengcheng came to Fa Yin, bowed his hand, and said, "It's ...... below."
"Wait!" Fayin said, "you don't have to say, I already know who you are. ”
Li Chengcheng said, "I want to ......"
"Wait!" said Fayin again, "you don't have to say, I already know what you mean. ”
He paced in the courtyard, looked Li Chengcheng up and down, and then said, "Our Shaolin Temple is the gate outside the square, although it is a leader in martial arts, but it pays attention to harmony...... Oh, and harmony is precious. If you come to give alms, the Buddha has a lotus seat, and if you come to live, the Buddha has a vajra. ”
Fayin asked again, "Do you have any money?"
Li Chengcheng was puzzled, "Does this have anything to do with money?"
"The Buddha is destined to be a person, not a poor man. ”
Li Tingcheng shook his head in his heart when he heard this, he had always heard that the monks of the Shaolin Temple Xuanzi generation had profound Buddhism and strong martial arts, how could he see this Dharma seal, they all looked like a person in the market?
And that's not to blame.
Shaolin Temple has thousands of people, always have to eat, drink and Lazar, such a big industry, there must be someone to do these dirty work, rough work, tiring work, and someone to make money. In recent years, the Shaolin Temple has a large population, and the fields and properties of the imperial court are also somewhat stretched, and they cannot control the power of the rivers and lakes like other sects, control the water and land transportation trade, and the income is not only the industry, but also the filial piety of the incense and lay disciples is also an important source of income.
Especially in recent years, as Fa Yin presided over the affairs of the courtyard, he also launched a package of Shaolin monks to perform tickets, which can attract a group of people who come to the temple and generate income for the temple. The living standards of the monks in the monastery have been greatly improved.
Although he is a monk, he pays attention to pure heart and few desires, and concentrates on practicing Buddhism.
But in the same way of cultivating Buddhism, since he can eat bamboo shoots in the mountains, why should he eat the reed roots in the ground? Therefore, although this Dharma seal is not very good-tempered and behaves a little strangely, he is also dedicated to the Shaolin Temple, and several elders of the Xuanzi generation are not dissatisfied with his actions, but they have benefited from it, and they do not object to him.
There must be a few catfish in a huge sect, right?
Li Chengcheng was not interested in the internal affairs of Shaolin Temple, he had a request for others, and he consciously took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it over.
Take a look at the seal.
"Ahh
When everyone heard this, they thought that there was fraud in it, and the eighteen bronze men and one hundred and eight arhats shouted loudly and set up a formation, preparing to besiege Li Chengcheng.
"You all stand down!"
Fa Yin said to Li Chengcheng again, "I generally understand your situation, Huida, Huilian, the two of you come out, let this donor fight, just lose, not win, Huifan, you go to contact Xiaosheng Jianghu, just say that this young man has been poked in the Shaolin Temple Bronze Man Formation and Arhat Formation, and he will be regarded as a generation of chivalrous warriors in the future." ”
Huida and Huilian asked in unison, "Uncle Shi, why is this, why do we deliberately lose to him?
When Fa Yin heard this, he lowered his face, "Weiming, can you eat it as a meal?"
He raised the silver ticket in his hand, "100,000 taels! Your bronze people and arhat formations, you juggle like monkeys in front of so many pilgrims every day, and you only earn 180 taels a year, and this donor will be 100,000 taels as soon as he makes a move, let you lose once, what's wrong?"
He said to Li Chengcheng, "Donor, please inside!"
Li Tingcheng knew that Fayin had misunderstood him, and he explained, "I didn't come here to fight, but to heal. ”
"Heal?"
Fa Yin said, "In the Shaolin Temple, the highest medical skill should be my abbot master, but he has been in retreat for more than a year, and even we can't see him. ”
Li Chengcheng didn't go around the bend, and directly explained his intentions, "Li Jinhua, a month ago, I was hit by the ghost yin needle of the ghost fan building, and at night, the cold poison attacked, and I couldn't live or die, I asked to see Doctor Xue, he said that under the whole world, only the Jiuyang Divine Function of Shaolin Temple was solved, so he dared to come to Shaolin and wanted to ask for a reading of Jiuyang Divine Skill." ”
"What?"
Fa Yin was taken aback, Yi Jin Sutra, Jiuyang Shengong, and Rulai Shenzhang are the three great masters of Shaolin Temple, not to mention that it is easy not to pass on to outsiders, even the disciples in the temple, if the opportunity is not reached, they have not tasted practice, he is an outsider, and wants to ask for the scriptures, and he categorically cannot agree.
However, 100,000 taels of silver is not a small amount. In particular, recently Shaolin Temple invested in Yinyang Stone City, spending money like flowing water, encountered a large financial deficit, he presided over the affairs of the temple, and never saw such a large charity, if you want to put it down, and reluctant.
Li Chengcheng said, "Please also ask the master to make it convenient." ”
"Convenient, convenient!" Fa Yin said with a smile, "However, Jiuyang Divine Skill is the treasure of this temple, and the poor monk can't be the master of this matter, so he needs to discuss it with a few elders, and this matter must be approved by the abbot master." ”
Li Chengcheng said, "That's nature, there is Master Lao." ”
Fa Yin said, "I don't know where Mrs. Ling is?"
"I'm waiting outside the temple. ”
"What do you call the donor?"
"Jinling, Li Chengcheng. ”
Fayin felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Li Tingcheng killed the ghost Fan Lou lord and used the sword of the city, which caused a great sensation in the rivers and lakes, and had already caused controversy among the major sects in the rivers and lakes, but Fayin didn't care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, so he only heard about it and didn't pay much attention to it.
As for the tenth day of October, the various sects held a martial arts conference in Shaolin Temple to discuss major matters, and he was responsible for relevant organizations as an assistant abbot, but the specific things were all by Uncle Xuan Miao to Zhang Luo, and he had not returned to the temple yet, so Fayin did not know the name Li Chengcheng.
Fa Yin said to Hui Fan, "Hurry up and clean up the side room, and ask this Li Gongzi and his wife to stay first." ”
Hui Fan
said, "Uncle Shi, doesn't Shaolin Temple not accept female dependents?"
Fa Yin said with a calm face, "Have you finished picking yesterday's water?"
Hui Fan ran away with a cigarette.
Li Tingcheng settled down in the Shaolin Temple, and in the afternoon, Fayin sent someone to invite him to the meditation hall, and when he came to the meditation hall, Li Tingcheng saw Fayin, and there were a number of Shaolin monks inside.
Fa Yin said, "I have discussed with a few elders, and now the abbot is in retreat, if it is something else, a few of us will be decided, but Jiuyang Shengong has a great ...... to do."
An elderly monk said in a loud voice, "Fa Yin, to put it bluntly, what kind of bend?"
The person who spoke was the first Xuan Liang of the Shaolin Discipline Hall, he was old-fashioned, very disciplined, and had never looked down on the Fa Yin's style, when he heard that Fa Yin and Li Chengcheng were going around the bend, he said it directly to his face.
Fayin cried out in his heart.
100,000 taels of silver, enough for Shaolin Temple for a long time, with his thoughts, he wanted to persuade the major elders in the temple to lend him Jiuyang Divine Skill, anyway, not everyone can practice, and there is no loss to show him.
No matter how bad it is, drag him first and wait for the abbot master to come out.
But when Xuan Liang said something, he directly said it to death.
"Uh-uh......"
Xuan Liang saw him grinding and chirping, mother-in-law and mother-in-law, stood up and said, "Are you that young man?" Let's put it this way, Jiuyang Divine Skill is a secret that our temple does not pass on, you are an outsider, if you want to get Jiuyang Divine Skill, it is simply wishful thinking. ”
If it was his previous temperament, Li Chengcheng would have gone up a long time ago, but now he came to treat Li Jinhua for treatment, and he didn't want to offend people, so he said, "I also know that it is a little abrupt, but the Buddha said that saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, as long as the masters are willing to let go, they are willing to donate one million taels." He added, "You don't have to make the details public. ”
Xuan Liang raised his eyebrows angrily, "Who are you to us, and you want to buy us with money?"
Fa Yinlian stopped, "Uncle Shi, let's talk about it." ”
Xuan Liang snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Hearing Li Tingcheng's huge donation, Fayin's eyes were green, Shaolin Temple did not eat or drink for a year, counting the field products, trade and incense, it was only 1.8 million taels, but thousands of people used it, and the funds were a little stretched, these old monks only took care of Qingming, didn't they know that the toilet in the backyard of Shaolin Temple collapsed, and there was no money to repair it until now, these things fell on his head, and the elders didn't care. What they lacked and what they used, they just sent their subordinate novices to ask for the Dharma seal, but as for where the money came from, they never cared.
Fa Yin said, "Li Shaoxia, don't hide it, Jiuyang Shengong is indeed in Shaolin Temple, but this martial art is too profound, in the past three hundred years, no one has cultivated it, even our Xuanyin Abbot, only touched a little fur, even if it is lent to Li Shaoxia, I am afraid that it will be useless." The poor monk has a suggestion......"
"Please. ”
"Since Shaoxia is here to make his wife sick, if we don't use Jiuyang Divine Skill, we can cure his illness, is the donation you said the same?"
Li Chengcheng said, "Naturally count." ”
"Our Xuanyin Abbot is good at the art of Qi Huang, and he will be able to get out of the customs in another month, I wonder if the young man can wait for a month and wait for him to get out?"
Li Chengcheng thought about it, but it was not a solution.
Xuan Liang said, "I don't think so." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"This kid keeps saying that he is curing diseases and saving people, I think he came here for my Shaolin Temple's mastery, right?"
Li Tingcheng frowned when he heard this, "I am also a person who practices martial arts, and I also have a family tradition of martial arts, and the martial arts of your Shaolin Temple have not yet been put in my eyes." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
