Chapter 634: The Merciful Man Asks for Forgiveness
Hui Hao wept and begged: "Abbot, all the uncles and uncles, please look at my Buddha's face, be merciful and merciful, and let the disciples have a way to reform themselves." No matter what kind of punishment, the disciples are willing to accept it, that is, don't drive the disciples out of the temple. ”
All the old monks, you look at me, I look at you, I can't make up my mind, and listening to Huihao's words is indeed very sincere.
The so-called "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground", the so-called "boundless sea of suffering, turning back is the shore", Buddhism is vast, purifying all sentient beings, and in the extremely vicious, obsessive and unenlightened people, it is still necessary to do everything possible to enlighten him, not to mention that in this lost and returning, since childhood monk disciple of this temple, how can he cut off his path to goodness?
Honghua Temple belongs to Zen Buddhism, has always paid attention to "epiphany", the Buddha scolded the ancestors are not taboo, it is not as good as the law and other sects to strictly abide by the precepts. If there were no outsiders present today, the monks would never have broken down and expelled him when they saw that he was truly repentant.
But the matter in front of him, not only involves Da Liaokong, Zheluo Xing and other Fanbang Hu monks, and the Qingliang, Pudu and other great temples in Middle Earth also have their own senior monks here, if the punishment of Huihao is not strict, the world is bound to be Shaolin faction to protect the short, but the heavy door, whether it is right or wrong, only talk about martial arts, regardless of the precepts. These sayings have been circulated, but they have also ruined the reputation of Honghua Temple.
At this moment, an old monk, supported by two disciples, walked out of the apse slowly, it was Xuandu. He was injured by Da Liao Kong's finger force, returned to the monk's room to rest, concerned about the outcome of the battle between the two sides in the main hall, sent disciples to continue to report, and when he heard that Da Liao Kong had temporarily retreated, the group of monks questioned the Hui Hui, and there was a great intention of punishment, and immediately helped the wounded and went to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, saying: "Abbot, my old life was saved by Huihao." I have a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”
Xuandu is older, and his moral character is respected by the temple. Abbot Xuanci hurriedly said: "Senior brother, please sit down, speak slowly, don't affect the injury." ”
Xuandu said: "Saving my life is nothing. However, there are six important things in front of him, which have not yet been completed, and if he is kept in the temple, it will be of great help, and if he is expelled, then ...... That...... That's hard. ”
Xuan Xiao said: "The six major things that Senior Brother said, the first one refers to Da Liaokong's non-retreat, the second one refers to Boluo Xing's theft of the temple's martial arts, and the third one is that Sun Zhiyi, the new leader of the Beggar Gang, wants to be the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance. The other three, what do you mean, senior brother?"
Xuandu sighed and said, "The lives of the four junior brothers, Xuan Sorrow, Xuan Bitterness, Xuan Pain, and Xuan Difficulty. ”
As soon as he mentioned the four monks, all the monks recited the Buddha in unison: "Amitabha!"
The monks believed that Xuan Ku died at the hands of Lu Qian, Xuan Pain and Xuan Yan were harmed by Ding Mohan, these two opponents were too strong, and the great revenge has not yet been avenged, and the murderer of Master Xuan Bei is still unknown. Everyone only knows that Xuan Bei was killed by the "Wei Tuo Pestle" in the chest, and the "Wei Tuo Pestle" is one of the seventy-two Shaolin stunts, which is the kung fu that Xuan Bei has practiced for 40 years.
In the past, they all thought that it was the poisonous hand of the Tsing Yi Ju "to vaporize the form, reach but not be confused", and later Hui Fang, Hui Jing and others told the story of friendship with Deng Baichuan, Gong Ye Qian and others, and they all felt that the Tsing Yi Gongzi obviously had no intention of making enemies with the people in the martial arts, and none of the people under the Tsing Yi Ju were treacherous.
Shicai also saw Da Liaokong's skills, he can make all kinds of Shaolin stunts, then this move "Wei Tuo Pestle" is the inherent possibility of his attack, even if there are other people, it is not surprising. The four eminent monks died at the hands of three opponents, so Xuandu said that it was three major events.
Xuan Ci said: "The old man is the abbot of the temple, and none of the six major events can be good at cooking, which is really shameless. But Hui Hao's kung fu is all the martial arts of Yaotian's divine vein, is it ...... Could it be that the major event of Honghua Temple ......"
When he said this, his words were unsustainable, but the monks all understood what he meant: although Huihao's martial arts are high, they are all other sects' side kung fu, even if he can take care of these six major things, people of insight also know that the Shaolin faction is because of people, and they must rely on Yaotian Shenmai martial arts, and they can't help but be ashamed of the Shaolin faction;
For a moment, all the senior monks were silent. After a while, Xuandu said: "In the abbot's opinion, what is it?"
Xuan Ci said: "Amitabha! My generation inherited the mantle of the ancestors and ancestors, and today we are facing great difficulties. If everyone does their best to protect the reputation of Shaolin, it is the mercy of our Buddha and the shadow of our ancestors and ancestors; if the devil is prosperous and declining, the old man and all the brothers and sisters will defend the religion with their lives and die in the temple, but they will also have a clear conscience, and it will not violate the principles of our Buddhism. ”
"Honghua Temple has benefited the world for thousands of years, and the good fate is deep, even if it is a temporary setback, it will never be a failure, and there will never be a day of recovery. These words were said peacefully and peacefully, but they were righteous and awe-inspiring.
The monks bowed down together and said, "The abbot is high, and he is willing to obey the decree of the law." ”
Xuan Ci said to Xuan Lone: "Senior brother, please carry out the precepts of this temple. ”
Xuan Lin said: "Yes!" turned his head to the monk and said, "I invite the Tubo national teacher and all the senior monks." The monk bowed down and agreed, and went separately to invite.
Xuandu, Xuansheng and others sighed secretly, although there is a meaning to maintain the goodwill, but what the abbot said is to focus on righteousness, and cannot use temporary expediency to ruin the reputation of the temple's precepts.
Everyone has understood very well that if they forgive Huihao's sins, it will be a victory and a defeat, but if they enforce the law impartially, they will still be defeated and honored, and the abbot has said that "defend the religion with his life and die in the temple", which is a ruin, and there is no thought of luck, and how Huihao will be punished, but not what is important.
Huihao also knew that the matter was irreparable, crying and begging, it was all in vain, and thought: "Everyone values the reputation of this temple, I am self-inflicted, and I must not show a cowering and begging attitude in front of outsiders, and teach people to underestimate the monks of Honghua Temple." ”
After a short time, Da Liaokong, Shenshan, Zheluo Xing and other people came to the main hall. The bell rang, and the group of monks of the Huizi, the imaginary, and the empty characters lined up again, standing on both sides.
Xuan Ci Heten said: "The national teacher of the Tubo country and the senior brother of the rank are invited. Honghua Temple Huizi generation disciple Huihao, committed the four precepts of killing, sex, meat, and alcohol, and privately learned the martial arts of the side sect, and served as the head of the side door without authorization. ”。
Da Liaokong and Shenshan and others heard it, but they were also very surprised, seeing that the four daughters of Meilan Juzhu disguised themselves as monks, only said that Hui Hao was bold and reckless, and harbored the girl in the temple without permission, and the offender was just a sexual precept, how do you know that the crime announced by the abbot is still too much.
Master Daoqing of Pudu Temple is a middle-aged monk, very knowledgeable in the world, and has a kind temperament, Su Xi is kind to others, and said: "Senior brother abbot, these four girls have straight eyebrows and straight waists, thin necks and straight backs, and they are chaste women who are as guarded as jade. ”
