Chapter 2 Ninety Festival Elders of the Temple

"Alas...... The poor monk and Na Jue Neng have been masters and apprentices for decades, and the poor monk also knows many things about Jue Neng. The eyes of the universal Zen master were full of sadness, and he said: "The poor monk treats people with sincerity, and once made a great wish like a bodhisattva to transform all living beings in the world, but I didn't expect that even the younger brother who used to value around me can't be transformed, and it's ridiculous to think about it." ”

Li Yi was silent, and the situation of the universal Zen master to paraphrase a popular phrase in later generations is "the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny". How easy is it to transform all sentient beings in the world? Not to mention that the universal Zen masters are just ordinary people, that is, the Buddhas of the Buddhas, Guanyin Bodhisattvas, and other Buddhas who are full of heavens, have they done it? If the Buddhas, Guanyin Bodhisattvas, and other Buddhas of the heavens can really universalize all sentient beings as Buddhism claims, then what else is there to do with the universal Zen masters?

If the universal Zen master is just an ordinary monk, he can have such a grand vow, or he can become a generation of high monks, but the universal Zen master, as the abbot of Donglin Temple, still thinks like this, it is inappropriate.

"A few days ago, the poor monk talked with his friend Jā of the Maoshan faction, and learned that Jue Neng was originally from the Maoshan faction, but Jue Neng was not a descendant of the Mao family, so some of the secret methods of the Maoshan faction Jue Neng could not be learned, and Jue Neng thought that he had been treated unfairly, and in a fit of anger, he stole the treasure of the Maoshan faction, Jiu Lao Xiandu Junyin, and betrayed the Maoshan faction......"

The Kyushu Xiuzhen én sect attaches great importance to inheritance, and almost every famous én sect is strictly hierarchical, and the én rules limit which Taoist techniques can only be learned by people of which status, and the advantage of this is that Dacheng dù prevents the spread of Taoism, and the disadvantage is that many talented people cannot practice Gao Sen's Taoist art in their lives because of their identity.

"Maoshan sent such a scandal, since it will not be publicized, only in the secret to quietly investigate the whereabouts of Jue Neng, and Jue Neng defected from the Maoshan faction, after a period of incognito, with three steps, one worship, nine steps and one knock to Donglin Temple to seek a monk, the poor monk saw that Jue Neng was very sincere, so Jue Neng was included in the ...... of the wall"

When the universal Zen master said this, his mouth trembled, and he slowly closed his eyes, and two big old tears rolled down, and fell to the ground with "poof" and "poof", and said: "Where did the poor monk think at that time, this move was to lure the wolf into the room, and almost destroyed the thousand-year-old foundation of my Donglin Temple...... Because of this, the poor monk became the sinner of Donglin Temple for the ages......"

Seeing this, Li Yi wanted to comfort the universal Zen master a few words, but he didn't know what to say, Donglin Temple has fallen into the current situation, how can the universal Zen master not deeply blame himself for not knowing people? Fortunately, after all, the universal Zen master is a high-ranking monk, and he is very easy to control his feelings.

"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, and the place where the poor monk looks like makes Li Xiaodaoyou smile. The universal Zen master pronounced a Buddha name, and then said: "After entering the wall of Donglin Temple, Jue Neng is humble and diligent in practicing Buddhism, so the poor monks attach great importance to Jue Neng, and even once planned to pass on the position of the suzerain of Donglin Temple to ......."

"But later, the poor monk accidentally found that Jue Neng practiced the witchcraft of the southern Xinjiang, Donglin Temple is the Pure Land Lotus Sect, how could the poor monk tolerate the witchcraft of the southern Xinjiang so vicious Taoist art to save zài, under the anger of Yu Fei to Jue Neng cultivation, the Jue Neng expelled from the wall, Ke Jue Neng knelt in front of the poor monk and begged, saying that he had gone astray and had never done anything to harm the gods, and swore that he would never let people know that he practiced the witchcraft of southern Xinjiang in the future. Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, so I forgave Jue Neng once, but I didn't expect ......"

"Since then, Jue Neng has been low-key and cautious, and slowly the poor monk has relaxed his vigilance, thinking that Jue Neng is truly repentant, but I didn't expect this qiē to be pretended to paralyze the poor monk, and Jue Neng is waiting for an opportunity to ......."

The universal Zen master sighed, folded his hands, and said, "After all, the poor monk has been hit by Jue Neng's Ten Thousand Poison Gu. ”

Li Yi heard the words of the Ten Thousand Poisonous Gu, and his face changed in shock, Li Yi heard his master Guo Bushou say that the Ten Thousand Poisonous Gu is a kind of witchcraft in southern Xinjiang, and according to legend, it is to collect 10,000 poisonous Gu worms, put them together and feed them, and let them kill each other without giving food, and then the one that survives in the future is used to refine the Ten Thousand Poisonous Gu. If you want to remove the poison of ten thousand poisonous Gu, it is said that you have to remove all the Gu poison of those ten thousand Gu worms.

"Jue Neng imprisoned the poor monk in the secret room of Donglin Temple, if it weren't for this accident, Zhang Ruofeng Daoyou of the Tianshi faction, Mao Yuan Daoyou of the Maoshan faction, and Cheng Guangyuan Daoyou of Bailu Don Academy came together, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the poor monk to see the light of day again in this life. Alas...... It's a pity that Jue Neng escaped. ”

Li Yi is also regretting Jueneng's escape, not to mention, after all, Jue Neng is a great worry for himself, Li Yi said: "Xiao Dao broke Jue Neng from the Luo Xiao Mountain Range to cultivate the Ten Thousand Ghost Curse, and he is destined to have a common enmity with Jue Neng in this life, and Xiao Dao also very much hopes to arrest Jue Neng as soon as possible." ”

"Jue Neng is cautious, where is it so easy to be arrested?" The universal Zen master smiled bitterly: "Jue Neng must be hiding in a place where the gods don't know the ghosts now, and when the ten thousand ghost mantras he cultivates are completed, he will come out again to make a fortune and seek revenge on us." ”

Li Yi also heard it very bigly, last time at the bottom of the rope golden pagoda, first, there was Su Mei Xiaobai to help, second, because the mine trick pulled out the golden rope that maintained the leylines of Nanchang City, and thirdly, Jue Neng was injured, and he scared Jue Neng away with a defeat, and next time he would not be so lucky, especially when Jue Neng's Ten Thousand Ghost Mantra had been successfully cultivated.

..................

"Nan Wu Amitabha Buddha, because of the negligence of the poor monk, the guide zhì Ben Én came out of such a jān person, so that Li Xiaodaoyou got into so much trouble out of thin air, and the poor monk really didn't want to go. The universal Zen master pronounced the Buddha's name, and said apologetically: "The poor monk should have personally gone to arrest Na Jue Neng, give Li Xiao Daoyou, and give the Xiuzhen world a jā treatment, but unfortunately the poor monk is approaching, and now the life of Donglin Temple is in disarray, and there is no outstanding person in the temple, so the poor monk wants to entrust the heavy task of arresting Jue Neng to Li Xiao Daoyou." ”

"The poor monk has spent all his strength over the years to fight against the Gu poison of the Ten Thousand Poisonous Gu. The universal Zen master shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the Heavenly Master sending Zhang Ruofeng Daoyou to give the poor monk a Dragon and Tiger Pill to protect his heart this time, I'm afraid that the poor monk would not be able to wait for Li Xiaodaoyou's arrival." ”

So it sees, no wonder the universal Zen master said that his limit was approaching, Li Yi looked at the cheeks of the universal Zen master, and an impulse wanted to accept the universal Zen master, but reason made Li Yi smile bitterly: "Xiaodao also wants to arrest Najue can be brought to justice, but I am afraid that I will not be caught, the abbot entrusted this matter to Xiaodao, Xiaodao is really ashamed." ”

But whether Li Yi promised or not to agree to the entrustment of the universal Zen master is two different things, for the cultivators, one is causally related, and the other is not. If Li Yi agreed and didn't do it, then this matter would likely become a demon in Li Yi's cultivation process in the future.

"Ben's traitor has his own various methods to deal with, but whether he succeeds or not, it depends on Li Xiaodaoyou's chance. As he spoke, he stretched out his thin palm and took out a white lotus from his arms.

The whole body of the white yu lotus is bright and crystalline, the glow is shining, the lotus is lifelike, pure and holy, which makes people feel the aura at a glance, and the heart is relaxed. An inscription on the stem of the white lotus is engraved with a couplet, cloud: "The silt comes from the un chaos, and the white lotus is prosperous." ”

The universal Zen master stroked the white lotus, his eyes were full of emotion, and said: "This is the holy relic of my Donglin Temple, passed on from the holy lotus order of Huiyuan ancestor. ”

It turns out that this is the Holy Lotus Order, according to legend, the ancestor of Donglin Temple Huiyuan traveled to the famous mountains and rivers of Kyushu in the past, Yu looking for a holy place to preach, and then came to the west foot of Lushan Mountain, and saw a white Yu lotus ā born on a flat ground, Hui Yuan Zen Master was greatly surprised, so he stopped here to stand up on the altar to talk about the Buddha, opened the Donglin Temple White Lotus Pure Land Sect, and the white Yu Lotus ā was also sacrificed by Hui Yuan Zen Master into the Holy Lotus Order.

Li Yi looked at the Holy Lotus Order in the hands of the universal Zen master, and only felt very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. Li Yi thought about it carefully, and suddenly had an idea, and said: "This Holy Lotus Order is the lotus on the bronze pedestal that Tianjue can take out." ”

"Li Xiaodaoyou guessed well, it is that lotus, speaking of which the poor monk has survived until now, it is also stained with the light of this holy lotus order. Zen Master Hewlett-Packard said: "After Jue Neng poisoned the poor monk with ten thousand poisonous Gu, he didn't immediately take the poor monk's life, just to ask about the whereabouts of this holy lotus order." ”

Zen Master Huiyuan collected the Holy Lotus Order and the copper tripod, and made a gourd-shaped incense burner into the copper tripod, which was enshrined in the main hall of Donglin Temple, as the secret passed down by the abbots of Donglin Temple by word of mouth. When Zen Master Puhui said this, there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes, and he said, "Hehe, Jue Neng tried his best to find the Holy Lotus Order, but he didn't know that the Holy Lotus Order was dangling under his nose every day. ”

"But even if Jue Neng knows the whereabouts of the Holy Lotus Order, what if Jue Neng can't take out the Holy Lotus Order from under the copper tripod at all, doesn't anyone in the previous abbots of Donglin Temple want to take out the Holy Lotus Order? It's not that I don't want to, but I can't, Master Huiyuan and the earth immortal Guo Pu have placed a ban on the copper tripod. ”

The universal Zen master said with some self-deprecation: "The poor monk also understood at the bottom of the Shengjin Pagoda last time that after releasing the old dragon king Ao Jing of Poyang Lake, this prohibition will be lifted, and the Holy Lotus Order can be taken down from the bronze tripod." ”

"Master Huiyuan and the earth immortal Guo Pu are really big, and after a thousand years, Donglin Temple will produce no grandchildren" The universal Zen master sighed: "If Jue Neng knows that he wants to release the old dragon king of Poyang Lake, Ao Jing, can obtain the Holy Lotus Order, I am afraid that he will regret it and vomit blood, if Jue Neng has the Holy Lotus Order, why should he use Ao Jing's Divine Dragon Pill to heal his wounds? and why should he use Ao Jing's ghost to sacrifice the Ten Thousand Ghost Curse?"

Li Yi was greatly surprised when he heard this, and said, "Why is this?

"The Holy Lotus Order does not have such a miraculous effect, but there is a secret behind the Holy Lotus Order. When the universal Zen master talked about the Holy Lotus Order, his face was full of pride, and a pair of eyes that had been extremely bitter before were also flying at this time, and said: "My Donglin Temple abbots have passed it on by word of mouth, and the divine doctor Hua Tuo has done it, and the key to the whereabouts of the world's strange book "Green Capsule Sutra" owned by the earth immortal Guo Pu is on this Holy Lotus Order. ”

Ah Li Yi suddenly realized, in this way, Jue Neng is indeed a big loss. The first half of the "Green Capsule Sutra" records medical skills, and the second half records Zhu Youshu, if you can get the Holy Lotus Order, you can find the "Green Capsule Sutra" with the clues on the Holy Lotus Order, and with the record on the Green Capsule Sutra, where else do you need any Ao Jing?

Thinking of this, Li Yi couldn't help but admire Zen Master Huiyuan and Immortal Guo Pulai, Zen Master Huiyuan and Immortal Guo Pu may not be able to calculate things in a thousand years, but their grasp of people is really incomparable, and there is nothing missing:

The Holy Lotus Order is related to the whereabouts of the "Green Capsule Sutra", Huiyuan Zen Master and the earth immortal Guo Pu must be cautious, for fear that the "Green Capsule Sutra" will fall into the hands of unscrupulous people, and when the time comes, it will be a disaster for the world, and the old dragon king Ao Jing of Poyang Lake is a good touchstone.

For cultivators, Ao Jing, who is not known to the world, is a huge yoo, when releasing Ao Jing, if the then sect master of Donglin Temple is like Jue Neng, he can't help yoo, then he will never want to get the Holy Lotus Order, if he can withstand the yoo, then the character must be good, even if he gets the Holy Lotus Order, it doesn't matter.

As a holy relic of the White Lotus Pure Land Sect of Donglin Temple, the Holy Lotus Order will still be handed down after all.

..................

Li Yi was a little puzzled, what the universal Zen master said to him today were all secrets that only the abbots of Donglin Temple knew about in the past, but how could he say it to himself?

This is impossible, Li Yi himself denied it.

The world did not make Li Yi suspicious for too long, and said: "The reason why the poor monk said this is for Li Xiaodaoyou to know, in addition to entrusting Li Xiaodaoyou to clean up the outdoor for Donglin Temple to remove the traitor Jueneng, there is also something to ask Li Xiaodaoyou." ”

"The poor monk wants to ask Li Xiaodaoyou to serve as the second elder of the temple"

Belch...... What kind of position is this, can I be a little Taoist priest? I am a teenager, and the elder of the temple feels very old-fashioned just by hearing this name, and he is still the elder of Donglin Temple, one of the four major schools of Buddhism, although in a few days the title of one of the four major schools of Buddhism may be removed.

"The elder of the temple, as the name suggests, is the elder who supervises the temple, if there is nothing to do, it is just a spare post, but if there is something, the power is great, and the abbot of Donglin Temple can also manage it. The universal Zen master explained to Li Yi the accusations and authority of the elders of the temple.

Li Yi was taken aback and asked, "But I don't know who the first superintendent of your temple is?"

Hearing Li Yi's question, the universal Zen master smiled slightly, and said: "The first elder of this temple is still a thousand years ago, and it is the earth immortal Guo Pu who built the Rope Golden Pagoda with Master Huiyuan to suppress the dragon. ”

Hearing this, Li Yi knew that the elder of Donglin Temple had such a big name, but he was juxtaposed with the earth immortal Guo Pu, was he too exalted himself, although Li Yi thought very highly of himself, but he still had the knowledge, this universal Zen master clearly had the intention of supporting the orphan, you can afford me, Li Yi smiled bitterly: "I'm just afraid that the trail is shallow and shallow, so I can't take on this important task." ”

It was the second time that Li Yi had encountered such a situation, the first time was in the Nanyue Inn in Hengshan, where Su Fat, who was a member of the Yinyang family, entrusted Su Ze to himself and asked Li Yi to accept a younger brother who was only a few years younger than him. This time it is outrageous, and the monks of Donglin Temple are all older than themselves.

................................................................................................

Thinking of this, Li Yi still couldn't hold back, and asked the universal Zen master: "The abbot told the Xiaodao this qiē, so he is not afraid that after the Xiaodao obtains the "Green Capsule Book" in the future, he will ignore the Donglin Temple. ”

"The poor monk is not so much trustworthy as trusting his own vision, but rather trusting the calculations of Huiyuan Ancestor and Earth Immortal Guo Pu, since Huiyuan Ancestor and Earth Immortal Guo Pu know that my Donglin Temple will produce unworthy grandchildren, then Huiyuan Ancestor and Earth Immortal Guo Pu will definitely have a follow-up move," suddenly laughed, and said: "Originally, the poor monk was still a little worried, but Li Xiaodaoyou asked this sentence, but the poor monk was much more relieved, isn't it?"

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and also laughed with the whole world.

What the universal Zen master did not say is that as the old abbot of Donglin Temple, after all, he can't bear to watch the decline of Donglin Temple, and the universal Zen master will soon die.

Although Li Yi is young, but the appearance is extraordinary, even the heavenly master Zhang Ruofeng and Maoshan faction Mao Yuan are praised, it can be said that the future is limitless, and now when his reputation is not obvious, with Li Yi as the elder of the temple, the Holy Lotus Order is entrusted to Li Yi, which is a long-term cost-effective investment.

Twenty years later, Li Yidang became famous all over the world, and at that time, the Pure Land Sect of Donglin Temple would also be reborn.

........................

He tapped his hand on the table, and after a while, several monks came in, and he asked, "Jueliang, how are those unjust souls who died in vain?"

That Jue Liang is about forty or fifty years old, and he looks very loyal and honest, but his face looks very old, and he looks a little unable to let go in front of everyone.

Jue Liang replied respectfully: "Abbot, with the help of Junior Master Jing Xuan, tonight may have all those unjust souls overdone." ”

"Well, don't slack off in this matter," the universal Zen master said, "The poor monk decided to ask Li Yi to serve as the second superintendent of the temple. ”

As soon as these words came out, Na Jueliang and the others suddenly couldn't help but exclaim.

"Tomorrow this temple will be closed for 20 years, and during these 20 years, you don't need to ask about the cultivation of the true realm, just work hard to study the Dharma, and if there is a difficult decision, you can ask the elders of the temple." ”

In the past 20 years, in addition to collecting your own food, the rest of the land has been given free to those families who have lost their lives in this accident, and the orphans and widows have been helped to alleviate the sins of my Donglin Temple. "The universal Zen master instructed Yu Jue Liang Dao one by one.
