Chapter 606: Temple
The people under the upper level of the hands saw that their master had suffered a loss, where was there a reason to be willing to give up easily, and they stepped forward to do it with Jiang Wenlun, but with Jiang Wenlun's skills, these shrimp soldiers and crabs naturally couldn't please them, and they were beaten up by Jiang Wenlun one after another, and soon they were the same as the upper level, lying on the ground and starting to stand up.
Jiang Wenlun was proud, as if he felt something suddenly, his complexion changed, and then he pulled away, and after a while, four masters with extremely fast body skills arrived here, it was clear that it was the four big King Kongs under his hands, the first one had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and saw the upper end chirping on the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, but he took a slap in the face, only to see that after the upper end retracted his right hand, he roared, "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and chase me, I want to break that stinky boy into ten thousand pieces to vent the hatred in my heart!" When these four King Kongs heard this, they hurriedly chased them out.
It is said that there is a huge temple in Puyang, called Guanyin Temple, the temple is extremely rich, and there are more than 100 monks living in the temple. The abbot monk is a monk who is obsessed with Yuanjue, has excellent knowledge, and has lived in the temple for 20 years in Guanyin Temple, and the rules in the temple are no longer strict.
Yuanjue monk likes to be convenient with people the most, there are three or four thousand rents in the temple every year, and the price of grain is three or four tenths cheaper than that of ordinary rich households, but he is not allowed to buy his grain, move it to hundreds of miles away, and he is not allowed to buy more than dozens of stones and hundreds of stones. Monk Yuanjue said: "This person can buy dozens of stone valleys at a time, not to mention that he is a rich person." Rich people should not compete to buy cheap grains that the poor like to buy. To those who can buy hundreds of stones at a time, they are naturally grain sellers.
Instead of selling it at a low price to the grain sellers to make money, the poor generally don't get any benefits, so why don't I keep this money for myself!" After the autumn harvest, one stone is returned to another, and no interest is taken. If you want to borrow money to make farming capital, you don't want any interest. The squire's official mansion was all happy to associate with him because of the charity and talent of the monk Yuanjue, and he easily did not go to the squire's house. As for the county government, he greeted him even more diligently, and he refused to move. He often said to people:
"As soon as we monks walk around the yamen and make friends with the government, we don't have to worry about creating all kinds of sins. Since the name of the heart is immortal, why do you want to become a monk and do anything?" The monks of Guanyin Temple, regardless of age or age, have a large or small position in the temple, and there is no one who does not follow the rules.
Sometimes, when walking on the road and meeting women, the monk always bows his head from a distance, chooses a wide place, stands and waits, and will let the woman walk before leaving, and never dares to look at it more.
There are women who go to the temple to burn incense, and the monks who are entertained in the temple by Yuanjue are mostly over 60 years old. It is easy for lay people who want to become a monk to receive ordination in the temple next to it, but it is really more difficult to become a monk in Guanyin Temple than to ascend to heaven.
Regardless of how good the person's character is, how good his knowledge is, and how good his net worth is, it is not easy to be ordained in Guanyin Temple. The food in the temple is so bad that even those who are beggars can't eat it.
This is the second thing, and the most difficult thing for people to observe and fulfill is that the precepts are as thin as a cow's hair, and there are certain rules for every move, every word and smile. Occasional mistakes are punished severely.
Even if he was a very famous person in the world, or he was very old when he became a monk, it is also the same as the general punishment of a child.
If he is punished three times in a row, he must be expelled. Therefore, the monks who can be ordained in Guanyin Temple are not only particularly respected by the laity, but also go to various monasteries to place orders, and the masters of each monastery have to treat them as high monks.
The monk Yuanjue does not go out of the temple gate on weekdays, and he refuses to meet him easily when he visits him, but he only asks him to give lectures, or asks him to be a dojo when he dies, he says that this is a major event to save people, and he never shirks it. for he has these precious things. The people of the surrounding counties called him a living bodhisattva in unison.
The monks of Guanyin Temple are willing to be convenient with people. Lonely merchants missed the lodging, and the poor literati traveled to study, to this place, no money to stay in the hotel, to the temple to spend the night, all accommodated, and prepared a very neat and clean bedding, the next morning also left for breakfast. The annual cost of receiving laymen is not a few.
After a while, a young man with an elegant temperament went around to the front of the mountain gate, it was Jiang Wenlun who undoubtedly offended Shangduanping in Liuyang, Jiang Wenlun was chased and killed by the four kings under Shangduanping, and there was no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground.
Fortunately, Jiang Wenlun's kung fu was not bad, so he fled all the way here, but after escaping, when he would be able to return to Liuyang, it was not clear, this matter was repeatedly delayed, and Jiang Wenlun was also frustrated in his heart. But it's already here, and it's too late to regret it.
Because of being chased and killed, Jiang Wenlun in order not to drag others down, this period of time is a period of time to sleep in the open, on the way to hear the reputation of this Guanyin Temple, so he thought about coming to stay for a few nights, to avoid the limelight. I saw Jiang Wenlun's pair of tricks looking at the plaque on the mountain gate, and he could vaguely identify that it was the three big golden characters of "Guanyin Temple".
On the two corners above, there are two smaller ones, as far as the form is concerned, it is about the word "Ejian". The mountain gate is wide open and has never been closed, and the lights and candles on the Buddha hall inside are brilliant, and countless monks are wearing robes, holding magic instruments, chanting scriptures, and worshipping Buddha.
That kind of gorgeous and solemn atmosphere makes people look at it from afar, and they suddenly respect the Three Jewels, and they dare not venture into it and disturb their Buddhist affairs. I had to slowly walk into the mountain gate and wait under the Buddha Palace.
Although Jiang Wenlun has never seen the monk Yuanjue, at this time he is leading the monks to worship the Buddha, and his identity is no longer a second thought. All the monks have seen Jiang Wenlun, but they are all worshipping the Buddha wholeheartedly, and none of them are willing to pay attention to it, just as if they have never seen it.
It took about a long meal before the merit was completed. Monk Yuanjue walked into the Buddha hall, and the rest of the monks also went to their own plain rooms, and none of them spoke. Jiang Wenlun secretly thought: This is really neat and serious, no wonder people from near and far praise the laws and regulations of Guanyin Temple in unison. But they all dispersed, if I don't go up to the temple again, just grab one of them, say the words of the night, and they will all be separated for a while, teach me who to find in that temple?
At this time, I saw an old monk of fifty or sixty years old, walking out of the Buddha hall from among the monks, facing Jiang Wenlun and chanting a Buddha with his palms together, showing a very modest look and asking: "Where do the laymen come from? What are you doing?" Jiang Wenlun hurriedly arched and replied: "Master, please forgive me for taking the liberty of passing from here, because I am greedy to walk a few more miles, miss the lodging, it is late, and the mountain road in front is not easy to walk, so I have to come to the treasure temple to spend the night, and I should pay Xiangjin according to the fate." ”
The old monk glanced at Jiang Wenlun a few times at the light of the lamps and candles in the Buddha hall, and said, "It turns out that I came to rest by the wrong night." It's easy, it's just a mountain and wild Buddhist temple, but there are no good things to entertain the laypeople. Jiang Wenlun didn't even dare to say it. The old monk Zhike immediately led Jiang Wenlun down to the Buddha hall and went to a three-room room in the east.
Jiang Wenlun looked at the tables and chairs furnished in this room, although they were very shoddy and dilapidated, they were clean and dust-free. There was a glass lamp hanging in the room, the light could only see the furnishings in the room, the doors of the left and right rooms were open, and the old monk asked Jiang Wenlun to sit down and asked: "Since the layman missed the stay, he must have not eaten dinner at this time." The fasting offerings in our temple are bitter and unpalatable, and they can only fill the hungry intestines, isn't it disgusting?"
Jiang Wenlun hurriedly thanked: "I have been given a place to rest, I already feel uneasy, if I disturb it again, isn't it too much?" After a while, he took out a wooden plate, a small bucket of rice and two vegetarian dishes on the plate, and set up dishes and chopsticks on the table for Jiang Wenlun to eat.
Jiang Wenlun was hungry in his stomach, and he saw that the food and fruits were not exquisite, and he knew that the monks of Guanyin Temple had always had a bad meal, so he naturally couldn't organize another exquisite diet for entertaining lay guests. There are two vegetarian dishes, and they are still the pomp and circumstance of the guests. The monks in the temple only have one vegetarian dish for each meal. When Jiang Wenlun was hungry in his belly, even if it was such a crude meal, he also devoured it.
The old monk lit a small candle more than an inch long and sent him to the room on the left, where beds were set up against the walls around him, as if he had specially prepared for the layman to sleep. The old monk Zhike said that he had placed it, and he put the small candle in the crack of the wall.
Jiang Wenlun was too boring to sit alone, so he had to fall asleep on the bed. I couldn't sleep for a while, and as soon as the candlelight went out, I suddenly saw moonlight shining in the room. I couldn't help but laugh to myself: "I ran away this time, and I walked for five days in a row, and I didn't have food for the first four days. ”
"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't want to live up to the good night, or not, everything is predetermined, I should be in this Guanyin Temple this year, this kind of lonely Mid-Autumn Festival in the world," Jiang Wenlun has been sleeping every night for the past two years since he apprenticed to his teacher, and as soon as his head falls on his pillow, he will be silent, and he will fall asleep leisurely when he closes his eyes.
Tonight, however, I saw the moonlight shining in through the pane, and the unprovoked tide of thought fluctuated. After tossing and turning a few times, he suddenly smiled and said: "The bright moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, is it necessary to get wine and food to eat and drink in a place with a view? This is also too vulgar, this temple is high and vulgar, and it can make a lot of color for the moonlight of the Mid-Autumn Festival, just look at the moonlight that shines into the room from the window, how bright is it? I can't sleep, why don't I get up and go outside to enjoy it?" As soon as I thought of this, Yaxing suddenly increased, and sat up as soon as I turned over.
Sleeping on a hot day is more convenient without putting on and taking off clothes. I got out of bed and opened the door, and stepped out of this three-room house, and out of the corridor, there was a large flat under the Great Buddha Hall.
