Chapter 20: Master Pud
Shen Fei originally thought that Master Pude, as the former host of Lingyin Temple, was forced to leave Lingyin Temple and come to Qingzhou City to build Chaoyin Temple because of the appearance of the Jingtan Messenger. Unexpectedly, the other party is plump and white-toothed, has a big belly and thick ears, looks festive and does not eat meat and vegetables, and his face is also very young, and he can't see that he is excluded and unhappy.
muttered to himself: "It seems that the mind of a high-ranking monk cannot be judged by common sense. Thinking of the ambition of the Pure Spirit Monk, Shen Fei felt that the ambition of a high monk was elusive.
Master Pude's eyes seemed to be open and closed, his eyelids were very long, and his skin drooped so much that it was stacked near the tip of his eyebrows, like corns that had not yet suppurated. The lips are thin and ruddy in color, when speaking, the upper and lower lip flaps open and close very little, the teeth are only eight exposed, and the belly is round, even when sitting upright, the fat belly must be upright, if it is not for the monk's robe and robe, I am afraid that the round belly cannot be completely covered. His complexion was ruddy, and from a distance, it seemed as if a rainbow light was shining from his body, shining on everything in the world. This rainbow light is a unique glow of Buddhist monks, and the rainbow light contains mysterious and unpredictable power, which varies from person to person.
The place where Master Pude preached was in front of the Demon Suppression Tower in the backyard of the temple, where the terrain was open, which could accommodate 3,000 believers to listen to the scriptures at the same time, and there was no shelter from the roof, the breath was open and comfortable, and the scriptures were recited by Master Pude in a rich voice, echoing for a long time in several towers, as if the Buddha spread the scriptures through the mouth of Master Pude.
The listeners of the Bible have a bit of fanaticism in their eyes, and they seem to be the most devout believers. Before going down the mountain, Master once said that Buddhism gets strength from faith, and the more devout the faith, the stronger the power it gets.
To give an example to illustrate how crazy they are, Aung Santhanh, as the city lord, almost everyone in Qingzhou City knows about it, no one knows it, even a few ordinary people who don't know what he looks like, they can guess his identity when they see the officers and soldiers who follow him. However, in this Chaoyin Temple, there is hardly a single worshipper who stays and greets him because of his status and because of his authority, and here, everyone has only the Buddha in their eyes, only faith, and even if they meet him while walking, they will only say, "Good, good." "There is no kneeling and prostration, and there is no fear at all, as if in this temple, there is only a difference between whether the faith is firm or not, and there is no hierarchy of high and low.
"Pious faith can bring people inexplicable power, so that people are no longer attached to life and death, and they are not afraid of power. β
Standing in the sunlight and listening to Master Pude's chanting, his chanting speed was extremely fast, and the words were not clear, so that Shen Fei basically couldn't understand what he was saying, but he unconsciously integrated into the emotions of the people around him, as if there were scenes of the Buddha helping the world and saving people and purifying all sentient beings, as if he saw the Buddha walking in the dark world, slaying demons and demons all the way, and bringing warmth to the suffering Li people. It's an incredible feeling, even if you know it's an illusion, but it has an immersive texture.
Again, he exclaimed: "Buddhism is really an incredible religion. β
Listening to Master Pude's lecture, they did not feel the passage of time at all, and when the lecture was about to end, all the believers spread their hands apart, palms upward, and the back of their hands pressed against the ground, and bowed three times to Master Pude, who was preaching to them: "The Buddha is meritorious, and the Buddha's merit is immeasurable; Buddha's great compassion is immeasurable; Buddha's great compassion is immeasurable." β
"Good, good, good. Master Pude folded his hands and saluted in return, "At noon, it is customary to give porridge, you have come from afar, and then you will leave after eating." β
"The Buddha is merciful and meritorious, the Buddha is meritorious, the Buddha is meritorious, the Buddha is meritorious, the Buddha is merciful. β
At this time, Aung San Qingfang led Tuoba Lie and Shen Fei forward, walked straight to Master Pude, and clasped his hands together: "Lord Presiding, Aung San has come to pay a visit." β
"Good and good, the lord of Aung San is the head of an important town, and his status is respected, and he can make the small temple flourish and glorious in person, regardless of his hard work. It's just that the morning class can't be delayed, so the city lord of Aung San waited for two hours in vain, guilty of sin. β
"It is the fortune of Aung San's life to be able to listen to the presiding over chanting and reciting Buddha, and Aung San cannot ask for it, and he will never be bored in the slightest. β
"Good and good, the lord of Aung San has given benevolence to the people, accumulated blessings for a long time, and his merits are immeasurable. β
"You've won the award, Aung San just did what he was supposed to do. Aung Sanching did not want to continue this boring topic, and instead said: "Actually, Aung San's presumptuous visit has two purposes. One is to thank Master Jushan for his great help. β
"Good is good, it is my duty to exorcise demons and eliminate evil, and the city lord of Aung San does not need to take it to heart. β
"No, no, no, the Buddha's great compassion, the utmost benevolence and kindness, is really a grace that cannot be forgotten. β
"Good, good, good. β
"Second, I want to introduce someone to you, Master. β
"Oh?"
"This is the eleventh son of His Majesty today, and the eleventh prince of the dynasty, Tuoba Lie. β
"Good, good, it's nice to have friends from afar. β
"Hello, Master Pud. Tuoba Lie folded his hands and saluted him.
Pude also put his hands together, a pair of bronze bell-like eyes full of wisdom, up and down, carefully looked at Tuoba Lie's body, and said with a smile: "Good, good, Your Highness is a dragon among people who has no one in ten thousand, and he will definitely do great things one day." β
"I have heard for a long time that the monk has the ability to view good fortune and break evil, and this king has accepted it. β
"Good, good, good. As soon as the words changed, Master Pude fell on Shen Fei's body, "Master Shen, I have admired the name for a long time, hello!"
As soon as these words came out, Tuoba Lie and Aung Sanching were shocked at the same time. Shen Fei remained silent, stood on his chest with one hand, and made a way of greeting people unique to the Taoist sect that he had come up with early on: "Master Pude, hello. His calm gaze suddenly became aggressive, his eyes lit up, and an indescribable pressure was released, approaching Master Pude.
The latter was like a spring breeze under pressure, smiled slightly, and calmly related: "Good and good, the donor can let down his guard, and the old man has no ill will towards the donor." β
Master Pude stood up on the spot, his round belly shook three times, his plump cheeks showed the color of a young girl's Sichun, his eyes were round and big, and he looked Shen Fei up and down, as if he was seeing through him from the inside out, licking him, "It's still early, please come with me." β
......
But all the profound Buddhism monks must have powerful means that ordinary people can't understand, and can exert unparalleled magical powers, Master Pude and Shushan Zhangjiao are of the same generation, not to mention their strength and means, Shen Fei opened his teeth and claws in front of him, it was really a boring move, he himself knew this, but he still had to do it, because since he was preaching down the mountain, he couldn't bow his head in front of anyone, and even more, the more he faced a powerful person, the more he couldn't show weakness, the more he had to put on a posture that he wasn't a bully to warn the other party not to mess aroundγ
Master Pude was kind-eyed, and at the moment it seemed that there was no malice, and led the three of them through the hall and into the room where the guests were hosted. The room is dedicated to Maitreya's golden figure, which is clean, simple, and has no obvious decoration, which shows that the host is a person with a pure heart and few desires.
Incredibly, a teenage monk waited in the room early in the morning, he bent his legs, kneeling on the futon, guarding a boiling fire, boiling hot water on the stove, when a few people entered the house, the hot water had just boiled, making a "woo" sound, the little monk grabbed the hot pot handle with his bare hands, poured the water in the pot into the purple clay pot containing tea leaves, and then poured four empty cups with the purple sand pot. At this time, the four of them just sat down, and the little monk served water for them without saying a word, and everything seemed to be arranged in advance with a stopwatch.
"The host seems to have known that I was coming?" When following the host, Shen Fei was always observing him carefully, feeling that this old monk took the initiative to call out his name, which seemed to have a deep meaning.
"Good, good, good, yesterday's events gathered and reported truthfully, and the old man was prepared. β
"I see. Having said that, Shen Fei didn't think that just relying on Jushan's description alone, he could so accurately grasp the number and time of people who came to visit the temple today, and he could handle everything exactly right.
"Good, good, please take a seat. The room was not large, and with the steam released from the boiling furnace water, it became smoky, like a fairyland, a round stone table was placed in the center of the room, and four stone benches occupied four directions, southeast and northwest, and were placed around the round table, and several people sat down one after another.
Aung Sanching picked up the tea cup in front of him, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled: "The aroma is light but not turbid, good tea, good tea." β
The city lord smiled, this is the Tieguanyin harvested by the monks of this temple by themselves, which is not superior. β
"When did you plant tea in the temple?"
"The seeds were sown in March this year and harvested in the month of Layue, and several of them were the first guests to taste this tea. β
"As far as the king knows, the leaves of tea grow the most in July and August, and the most is new green, so why is the tea in the temple harvested in the cold winter wax moon. β
"What the prince said is right, normal tea should be sown in March and harvested in August and September. This temple is located in the bitter cold land of the north, this is not suitable for planting tea leaves in the south, after the seeds are sown, it takes root and sprouts when it is hot in July, but it grows into a small plant, can not meet the standard of picking, and when October arrives, they wilt respectively. β
"This ......"
"Buddhist asceticism is to do what you know you can't do. Master Pude saw the reason why Tuoba Lie wanted to speak and stopped, "I thought it must be the result of no harvest, who would have thought that the disciple who is now presiding over the Lingyin Temple, the master of the Jingtan Altar, returned to the imperial capital in Layue this year after the disappearance of the monk Jingling Master for 30 years, resulting in the blooming of ten thousand trees and the wonder of pilgrimage to ten thousand temples, which produced a miracle, so that the Tieguanyin who had no harvest was harvested, so that Lao Qu could use the tea planted by the temple himself to entertain several distinguished guests. β
When he spoke, Master Pude's gaze always fell on Tuoba Lie's body, as if he was answering his doubts, but Shen Fei, who was sitting on the side, was like a lightning strike. Shen Fei and the Pure Spirit Monk met from acquaintance, to intersecting, until they drew their swords in the arena and saw the reincarnation of the Pure Spirit Monk. If it is said that Shen Fei is the most feared person in the human country, there is no doubt that he is a pure spirit monk, that person's every move, that person's existence all reveal a mysterious and unpredictable feeling, and it is completely unpredictable.
Some time ago, he was overwhelmed by the matter of Linghu Hanging Boat and Tongtian Sect, Shen Fei temporarily forgot the threat of the Pure Spirit Monk, and at this moment, he was mentioned by the host as if intentionally or unintentionally, and at the moment it was like being hit by five thunders, and the tiger's body was shaken.
He looked at the host with blazing eyes, watched him calmly answer with His Royal Highness the Prince, lowered his head again, and looked at the cup and the tea in the cup in front of him stupidly, and suddenly realized: "I'm just afraid...... I'm afraid that Master Pude expected that he would appear here today. "There is no coincidence in the world for no reason, the child who was waiting in the room in the morning, with the Tieguanyin planted in the temple to meet guests, intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Pure Soul Monk, seemingly unrelated people and things were forcibly associated with Master Pude, which proves that Master Pude has something about Pure Soul Monk, important things to say to himself.
It's strange to say, the Pure Spirit Monk is obviously a Buddhist Pure Character Monk, but he doesn't seem to get along well with the Buddhist Pure Character Monk, Pushan who appeared in the arena before, and Pude now, both of them seem to be afraid of the Pure Soul Monk.
"It's interesting, it's really interesting, it seems that the dignified Buddhism is not monolithic. I just don't know where this pure spirit monk came from, and why his behavior is so strange and special, and eclectic. What's even more incomprehensible is that if he was already a high-ranking monk thirty years ago, why is he still a young man today, and he hasn't aged at all?" Shen Fei had long had doubts about the Pure Spirit Monk, and at this moment, when Master Pude mentioned it, the doubts in his heart expanded even more.
The imperial capital, Lingyin Temple, Pure Spirit Monk, everything, what secrets are hidden in it!
Shen Fei calmed down, but listened to Master Pude continue: "In the cold winter wax moon, the long-disappeared Pure Altar monk suddenly returned, making auspicious luck occur in hundreds of temples within a radius of thousands of miles at the same time, making the old monk of dead wood in spring have an epiphany, making all kinds of impossible things possible.
This tea is entrusted with the blessing of the monks, and it can break through the ground under the snow. β
"Is there such a thing? That's really a thousand years of luck for the human kingdom and Buddhism. β
It is said that the person is the senior disciple of the current Lingyin Temple, and is the highest status of the three monks who walked out of the pure altar in that year, originally in the war between good and evil thirty years ago, everyone thought that he was dead, but miraculously survived, and returned to the imperial capital at the end of last year. It is said that when he entered the imperial capital, there was a life under the snowy winter, and the solemn Buddha lifted the clouds and mist, looked at him and smiled in the nine heavens, and watched him enter the Lingyin Temple.
