Sunlight shone into the hall through the holes in the window bars of the main hall, and dappled light and shadows fell on the ground, and gradually the hall became brighter.

Shifang sat not far from the corner of the hall, with a desk in front of him, covered with a red cloth, and was bowing his head to the red cloth and reciting the Heart Sutra.

Suddenly, a light breeze blew up the red cloth, revealing a corner of the things inside, which seemed to be a mountain stone, and the ten parties hurriedly covered the red cloth again, only to find out the origin of the breeze, it turned out to be the small benefactor Zuo next to the case was making trouble.

"Brother Shifang, show me the Golden Buddha, no one has seen a Buddha statue carved from a whole piece of gold. Lu Xihua put his hands on the side of the case, and with a small mouth, he blew the red cloth on the case vigorously, as if he wanted to blow the red cloth again.

Shifang was taken aback by Lu Xihua's actions, and secretly said Fortunately, this stone was placed in a place out of the reach of Zuo Xiao's donor's small hand, if Zuo Xiao's donor really found out that the Golden Buddha was a mountain stone fake, he would definitely not be punished by the master, or find a way to find the golden Buddha that fell last night, but before, I had to think of a way to spend the master and Zuo Shizhu first.

Shifang held down the corner of the red cloth and whispered, "The little donor of Zuo is dedicated to the Buddha, which is really gratifying, but the donor should not be fascinated by the world's money, no matter the golden Buddha and the stone Buddha, it is just an object, as long as the donor has the Buddha in his heart and is sincere and kind, he will definitely come true." Shifang clearly said that he actually wanted to cut off Lu Xihua's idea of getting a glimpse of the Golden Buddha.

"Well said. Shifang, it seems that you did make progress by reciting the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra all night last night. Not far away, there was the voice of Baiyun Zen Master, he opened his eyes after entering the meditation last night and saw the disciple reciting the Heart Sutra, and also told some naughty Zuo Xiao benefactor the truth that the color essence is empty, and his heart was satisfied, this disciple finally had some appearance, and he did not waste his hard work this time, it seems that going through more hardships can indeed make people mature a lot, "Shifang, put the golden Buddha in place, we are ready to set off." At this time, Zen Master Baiyun spoke much more amiably.

Shifang smiled with a smile on his face, but his face was a bitter gourd face, and he said helplessly, "Oh, Master. "Slowly, I put the red cloth wrapped in something on the bag rack on my back.

Zuo Tianzong also woke up, but last night there was a fire that burned his bag, and the things inside couldn't be used, so he stood empty-handed and called Zuo Tianheng to wait on the side.

The four of them walked out of the main hall, and Zen Master Baiyun walked in front, "Fortunately, the Golden Buddha was fine last night, otherwise we wouldn't have to go to the Great Power Temple." ”

Zuo Tianzong took Zuo Tianheng's hand and followed behind, and said, "It turns out that the old master is going to the Jingshi Great Temple, no wonder he said that he is on the same road as our brothers." ”

Zen Master Baiyun stopped, bowed his head and said, "That's right." The Zuo Shi master is kind-hearted, and the old man and his disciples have important things in them, so they didn't dare to speak lightly before, which is really a sin. This trip also involved the Zuo donor to burn the luggage package, but the old believers were not strict, and asked the donor to forgive the sin. "Zen Master Baiyun loves the ten directions very much, and takes all the mistakes of his disciples on himself.

Zuo Tianzong waved his hand, "The old mage is serious, my two brothers are in all directions, and they have not seen any danger." The luggage package is lost, but last night I also eliminated a ghost, I think there is some merit, speaking of which, our brother earned it. ”

The little monk of the ten directions walked at the end, the golden Buddha fell in the hall, I don't know where it fell under the hole, he was bent on finding it back, he was thinking of an excuse, when he heard Zuo Tianzong's words at this moment, he immediately had a flash of inspiration, and rushed to the master in a few steps, "Master, we left in such a hurry, I'm afraid it's not very good?"

Bai Yun's eyebrows furrowed, "Shifang, what do you mean?"

Shi Fang smiled and explained, "Master, as monks, since we know that there are unclean things in Lanruo Temple that harm people here every night, wouldn't we harm more innocent lives if we just let them go? ”

Bai Yun's face was surprised, "Oh?

Shifang's face straightened, and he circled around the master and said, "The disciple remembers that the master taught that there was such a high monk who said that if no one goes to hell, and we don't go to hell, then who will go to hell?

When Zuo Tianzong heard this, his eyes suddenly widened slightly, a hundred years ago, he said this, and since then he has embarked on an unimaginable path of cultivation, at this moment, when he heard the little monk of the Ten Directions say this sentence here, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and said firmly, "Yes! This matter has nothing to do with justice, only in the heart." ”

Zen Master Baiyun saw that the disciple educated everyone seriously, but it was funny, the disciple has grown up, and he is no longer the little novice who followed him and asked for food, "You don't even know what the Bodhisattva said about this, and you dare to say that you are a monk?!"

Shifang said with a hippie smile, "Master, you also know that disciples have always had a bad memory. What the Bodhisattva and the Buddha said, as a disciple of Buddhism, as long as they comprehend the true meaning, some people can write down the Buddhist scriptures word for word, but do not follow them, that is a false practice. ”

When Lu Xihua heard this, he immediately looked straight at Shifang, and he couldn't imagine that this little monk actually understood the true meaning of cultivation, as the saying goes: Those who learn from me live, and those who resemble me die. The little monk of the Ten Directions has a wisdom root!

Bai Yun listened to it in his ears, very comfortable, could it be that this stupid apprentice really enlightened himself after reciting the Heart Sutra all night? I couldn't help but sigh, "I don't know if you really understand or fake to understand, you can say such a reasonable thing, much better than the Pure Sky Zen Master of Minglun Temple." Well, since you have this kind of meditation, being a master should help you. I will stay in Lanruo Temple tonight to collect demons, and you and the three of you will go on the road first and take the Golden Buddha to the Great Power Temple. ”

Shifang's still smiling face immediately withered, looked up at the bright sun in the sky, and his mind moved, slowly squatting down, covering his head.

Zen Master Baiyun was now very precious to his disciple, and immediately asked out loud, "Shifang, what's wrong with you?"

Shifang squatted on the ground and touched his head and said, "The disciple recited the Heart Sutra all night, and the six roots are pure, but the abdomen is even purer. Now that I'm exposed to the sun, some of my souls don't possess my body~"

Zen Master Baiyun has a profound Dharma, and it is common for him not to eat for a few days, so he naturally does not know the plans of the ten directions, and asks in confusion, "Are you sick?"

Lu Xihua smiled, "Grandpa, Brother Shifang has worked hard all night, not sick, but hungry." ”

Zuo Tianzong also smiled, "Yes, yes, it's no wonder, last night a fire burned all the food, and I have to set off on an empty stomach this morning." It is also normal for the little master to be hungry in his belly. Well, our brother will go back to the market and buy something, pack our bags again, and go back tomorrow." ”

Only then did Zen Master Baiyun understand the meaning of his disciples, "You, you! What do you say about you as a teacher! There is a lot of and urine on the lazy donkey, okay, since you are not strong, just rest in the main hall of this Lanruo Temple." It's daytime, and those things don't dare to come out, so you stay in the temple and clean up, so that nothing goes wrong. As a teacher, I also went to the market to see if I could have some food. When you are a monk, you can't forget the foundation of your practice. ”

Zen Master Baiyun shook his head, turned around and left, and Zuo Tianzong and Lu Xihua followed. Lu Xihua turned his head and winked at Shifang as he walked, looking like he had seen through you. The three of them walked farther and farther, and the words of Zen Master Baiyun came from afar, "Alas, my apprentice, no matter how you look at it, I don't look like a monk~Good, good~"

At this moment, Shifang who was squatting on the ground still looked half sad, "Golden Buddha, Golden Buddha! You must find the Golden Buddha before everyone comes back!" muttered as he threw himself into the hall.

The market is still full of gangsterism, and there is shouting and shouting everywhere.

"Guest officer, come and take a look, this knife is as sharp as clay, killing people without seeing blood, if you don't buy it, you will lose money!"

"Really? Then cut off your head. ”

"Hmm, you're finding fault!"

"What about finding fault with you?!"

"Brother, the guy!"

Suddenly, the corner of the market was fighting again.

A figure dressed in linen and sea green walked slowly in front of the shops.

"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground. This donor, give alms~" Bai Yun held a bowl in his left hand and a Zen staff in his right hand, and stopped in front of an iron-striking shop.

"Go, go, stinky monk, hurry up, don't delay my business. "A man selling knives wielded the blade in his hand and drove the white clouds outward.

Zen Master Baiyun turned around and walked towards another craftsman who was striking iron, "Donor~"

As soon as Bai Yun said a word, the other party scolded, "You stinky monks, you always tell people to put down the butcher's knife, my business is gone, and I drink the northwest wind as a family?

Zen Master Baiyun shook his head and turned to walk away, and was bumped after not taking a few steps. A warrior fled through the crowd, and a man in Xuanyi chased after him, "Quickly pay back the money!" After speaking, he kicked at the crook of the warrior's leg, and suddenly the warrior fell beside Bai Yun, and the copper coins in his hand were scattered on the ground, and immediately a large group of people surrounded him. The man in Xuanyi pulled out the long sword at his waist and pointed at everyone, "It's all my money! No one is allowed to pick it up!" Everyone didn't dare to step forward when they saw the power of the man in Xuanyi. Bai Yun saw that it was the person he met a few times yesterday, and every time he saw him, he was collecting debts, but he didn't know why this time.

The warrior fell to the ground, grabbing the copper coins scattered on the ground.

"What is on the ground? and said that there is no money, pay me back quickly!" said the man in black clothes fiercely.

"It's my money!" the warrior argued.

"You have to pay me to do something for you, and now the money is mine!"

The warrior turned over, "Why did I tell you to do something? I don't know you at all!"

Bai Yun recognized the warrior as the big man in the inn in the market yesterday, yesterday this person was still discussing with the man in Xuanyi about spending money to kill people, and today he said that he didn't know him, so it can be seen that the warrior did not have a word of truth in his mouth.

Seeing the opportunity, everyone chimed in, "We don't know you either!"

When the man in Xuanyi saw the anger of the crowd, he immediately became angry, kicked the warrior and kicked him away, "The money is mine, and you dare to cheat?!" After saying this, he was about to bend down to pick up the copper plate on the ground. As soon as he bent down, he saw a Zen staff across his face, and when he looked up, he saw that it was the old monk on the side who stopped him.

The man in Xuanyi said disdainfully, "Old monk, don't be nosy, I'm afraid I'll hurt you for a while~"

Bai Yun persuaded, "Donor, it's hard to know right and wrong, and you can't beat someone, how can you prove that the money is yours?"

As soon as he heard this, the surrounding crowd immediately shouted, "How can you prove that the money is yours?!" The warrior who was kicked aside also took advantage of the situation and said, "Yes! If you can prove that the money is yours, I will give it to you!"

The man in Xuanyi was so angry that he glared at the nosy old monk fiercely, and pointed at the warrior who fell to the ground, "Okay, you said this, don't play tricks!" After speaking, he took something out of the skin bag around his waist, "Today, Dao Ye will let you see and understand!"

I saw the man in Xuanyi take out a scroll made of animal skin from his skin bag, and opened it in front of everyone, only to see that there were a lot of talismans and words written horizontally and vertically inside, crooked, and no one knew it.

The man in the dark robe found one of them, laughed, "You deserve your life!" and then recited a strange incantation. Suddenly, Bai Yun felt a burst of mana around him move slightly, and dispersed towards the ground.

I saw that the copper coins scattered on the ground at this moment were gathering towards the man in Xuanyi, there were dozens of them, and when they rolled in front of the man, they were immediately erected and stood on the ground without moving, which was very weird.

Seeing this, Bai Yun shook his head. The man in Xuanyi laughed and said to the copper coins on the ground, "Money, money, are you mine?" As soon as the words fell, the copper coins bent down and nodded, and the men in Xuanyi looked up to the sky and laughed, "See, these money are mine! They all admit it themselves!"

The warrior lying on the ground had a terrifying face, "He knows how to do witchcraft! Run!" After speaking, he got up and ran away from the crowd without looking back. Lanruo Temple is more than ten miles away nearby, and the legend of ghosts and ghosts has long been spread in the market. Yesterday, more than a dozen bandits who came out did not come back, and everyone had some speculation in their hearts, although they did not clearly know that they went to Lanruo Temple. But at this moment, when the warrior shouted like this, there was a person who knew witchcraft here, and immediately everyone scattered, hiding from a distance, not daring to take a look here.

"Old monk, now you have nothing to say~" The man in Xuanyi looked at Bai Yun proudly, and was about to lean over to pick up the money.

Bai Yun said, "You are also a fellow cultivator, so you should do more good deeds, why should you be full of copper stench?"

The man in Xuanyi was so angry that he asked, "I'm not covered in copper smell, where did I get the money to give you alms?"

Bai Yun shook his head, "This kind of money, Lao Wei would rather not have it." ”

The man in Xuanyi said contemptuously, "Old monk, don't you just go away!" I make money with my hands, and every penny is the reward for my labor, but it is you, holding a bowl all day long, going everywhere to turn into fate, empty-handed, shouting a few words of Buddha and asking others to give you alms, it is simply a begging for food!"

Bai Yun doesn't have a verbal dispute with men, don't look at the usual amiable, in fact, he is still a little cautious, he left with a smile, and said as he walked, "Money is something outside the body, it doesn't go with you, what can you do?

The man in Xuanyi leaned down and buckled and pinched the copper coin on the ground, but unfortunately the copper coin on the ground seemed to be pressed by a huge object, and no matter how much strength the man used, he couldn't move half a minute. The man was so angry that he pointed to the place where the white clouds disappeared and shouted, "Old monk! Are you making trouble? I can't get this money! Being a monk is so hypocritical, and I don't recognize you!"

The man in Xuanyi was so angry that he couldn't help it, and he took out the beast skin scroll on his body again, "No way, I have to ask the old ancestor to help me crack this monk's demon law!" The man was rummaging for spells on the beast skin scroll, but the copper coins on the ground quietly got up and moved, rolling towards the pool not far away.

The man didn't pay attention at first, until the copper coin rolled out of the distance, and then he realized that he was chasing after him, "Don't run, this is my hard-earned money!"

It's a pity that it's too late, the copper coin rolls to the edge of the pool in twos and threes, and falls into the water in the blink of an eye and disappears, and the bystanders see the man in Xuanyi eating deflated, they all laugh, the man chased to the pool, the copper coin has long been gone, and said angrily, "This time it's done in vain! What are you laughing at? Whoever laughs again, I'll knock out his teeth!"

Suddenly, the surrounding crowd smiled, not daring to answer, the man in Xuanyi looked around at the figure of the old monk, ready to settle accounts with him, but unfortunately Zen Master Baiyun had already left here.
