Chapter 6 Pending Orders and Poisoned Monks
It was the first time he had seen the disciples of the sect in this world, so he stepped forward and recited the Buddha's name.
"Amitabha, this senior brother, the little monk passed by here and wanted to rest in your temple for a night, I don't know if it is possible. ”
The predecessor of the empty was born rich and noble, since he was a child, he had good genes, white teeth and red lips, his face was like a crown of jade, and he raised a good skin, and now he has become a pure yang boy behind him, and his skin and flesh are like beautiful jade, no matter who sees it, he has to praise a good handsome little monk, like a golden boy in the sky.
The disturbed big monk glared at him and was about to scold him, but when he saw the empty appearance, his tone suddenly weakened by three points, and he opened his mouth to explain to him.
"It turns out that today is the day when your temple accepts apprentices, but the little monk is reckless, but the little monk has been practicing with the master in the mountains since he was a child, and he only went down the mountain to accumulate merit not long ago. ”
"This, there is nothing that can not be seen in the temple to accept disciples, sometimes the temple will invite some fellow people to watch, but in recent years it is no longer invited, if you want to see it, you can go to see it, as long as you don't disturb the temple to accept disciples. The great monk scratched his head and simply took the air up the mountain, anyway, his mission was over.
"Hey, how can someone's name be engraved on this stone slab?" The mountain road is very well repaired, all of them are made of thick stones, and they are trampled by pilgrims very smooth, but the name of a person is engraved on one side to make Sora a little curious.
"This stone road is built by the incense oil money donated by pilgrims, and the name of which pilgrim is engraved on each step, and my Buddha believers step on this step up the mountain to worship my Buddha, and have a merit blessing. The great monk replied very smoothly, obviously these words were not less, it is estimated that he did not come up with it himself, but someone in the temple specially taught, no wonder the reputation of Fuhu Temple is so great.
I didn't care about this, compared to the outrageous practices of those temples in the previous life, all the temples looked at money, and Fuhu Temple was nothing at all.
From time to time on the road, you can see some young men with blue noses, swollen faces, depressed heads, or some kind of nervous faces in their arms, going down the mountain, the former is losing the fight, and the latter is bribed nine times out of ten, anyway, it is a personal choice of fate, and the great monk will not ask at all.
After these eliminated teenagers saw the great monks, some begged bitterly, some cried bitterly, and some even scolded, but it was useless, they turned a blind eye to these disqualified young monks, regardless of whether they were inferior to others or not strong-willed, being eliminated was eliminated, this is still an entry test, if you go to the rivers and lakes, you can only find Hades to shout grievances.
"I didn't expect you to look like a jade man, but your foot strength is not weak, so I came back without paying attention. "The great monk is used to walking the mountain road, at first he still wanted to stay strong, and then he forgot about it more and more smoothly, until he remembered it in front of Fuhu Temple, and saw that his face was not red and he was out of breath, so he said in hindsight.
"The little monk has been practicing in the mountains all year round, and he has long been used to it. He smiled, and then turned his head to look at the young men who were gasping in front of the temple and were pulled up by some monks to squat on the horse, and there was an incense stick under the buttocks, this time it was not a incense stick, it seemed that it could not be burned for half an hour, which was a huge test for the teenager who had just desperately sprinted up the mountain, if he was not careful, the chrysanthemum would not only be smoked yellow, but also may be scalded to bloom.
"If you want to enter Fuhu Temple, you can't just have strength and luck, but you also have to have a firm heart for Buddha. The great monk looked at the teenagers and said with a full memory, obviously he had suffered no less.
The empty just smiled, what to the heart of the Buddha, but perseverance, not only to practice martial arts, but to do nothing without perseverance, so the entrance test of Fuhu Temple is simple, but it is deep to the essentials, so the selected disciples will not be weak even if they can't become masters.
In the end, there are only twenty or thirty teenagers who can pass the assessment and worship in Fuhu Temple, and even then they are just a small novice who is responsible for sprinkling and sweeping, even if they want to add incense and candles to the Buddha hall, they will have to wait a few years to be qualified, and only before the age of twenty can they continue to practice by mixing with the children of the inner door, otherwise they can only go down the mountain with a bald head, as for returning to the vulgar, there is no need at all, and they are not even qualified to take ordination if they do not enter the inner door.
But don't think that they came for nothing, from the beginning of entering the door, there are special warrior monks to teach them martial arts, although it is only a third-rate, but the third-rate martial arts of Fuhu Temple are also tempered by thousands of tempers, it is a first-class foundation of kung fu, otherwise those poor born teenagers are just that, how can those who are born rich and noble be sent to be a lifelong monk, so in the end there are not many teenagers left.
After reading the apprenticeship, he was placed in a good room, and the little novice sent a table of delicious meals.
Since coming down the mountain, most of the people have been sleeping in the open air, and only a few times they have spent the night in the farmhouse, so it is rare to have a good rest.
On the second day, after freshening up, he walked to the tree in the courtyard and started his morning class with his knees crossed.
Although Fuhu Temple is a Jianghu sect, but after all, it was born in Buddhism, if the Dharma is lost, it will become a joke, so although there is no shortage of masters in the temple, but there are also many monks who study Buddhism, although the empty is young, but just look at his posture of meditation and chanting to know that he has won the three flavors of Buddhism, so others dare not disturb.
After finishing the morning class, I ate the green vegetables and white porridge sent by the little novice, and planned to go to the mountains to collect medicine to see if there were any new herbs, so I said to the little novice who was sprinkled in the courtyard and went out with the medicine basket on his back.
However, when he passed by a side hall in the temple, he was suddenly stunned, because he smelled a familiar smell, but there were four warrior monks holding cooked copper sticks in front of the hall, and it was inconvenient to enter.
At this moment, the great monk who took the air up the mountain suddenly had a layer of black gas on his face, and his eyes were closed tightly and he was hurriedly brought out by a middle-aged monk, and he didn't care where he was, he sat down directly in front of the hall to force the poison.
The faces of the four warrior monks in front of the hall changed, and they immediately separated two of them to protect the Dharma, after all, it is very risky to force poison itself, once it is disturbed by people to rebound from toxicity, the poisoned person will naturally be killed on the spot by poisonous gas, and the person who is forced to poison will inevitably be contaminated with poisonous gas, which will affect himself, so he needs someone to protect the Dharma.
Although the situation is critical, but the empty does not mean to meddle, after all, he is just a foreign monk who has placed orders, and his rash action will definitely attract the hostility of the monks of Fuhu Temple.
