It seems that the matter of the Bodhisattva's manifestation is a bit of a big problem.

Soon the Bodhisattva in this treasure hall was crowded with pilgrims, and Li Xiuyuan didn't even dare to stay here, so he hurriedly left the side of the Bodhisattva statue, and retreated to the side with his friends, not disturbing the almost fanatical worship of these pilgrims.

It's just that it is not known how many of these pilgrims are sincere to the Buddha.

The truth that Li Xiuyuan just told can only wake up some people, and it is impossible to wake up everyone, he didn't force it, he just followed fate.

When others humbly ask questions, they should not hesitate to answer.

The group finally squeezed out of the crowd.

Zhu Yu wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead almost in prostration: "As soon as the Bodhisattva appeared, the pilgrims here were like crazy, it was really terrible." ”

Li Xiuyuan said: "Yes, it is precisely because of this that once there are ghosts and Buddhas pretending to be gods and Buddhas to instigate the people, it is a very harmful thing, and many people still lack the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and they need to be guided by people with knowledge and virtue and conscience

Pilgrims, let's go somewhere else, and what happened just now is a farce. ”

He vaguely saw that Fang Shengyu and his wife were still kneeling in front of the Bodhisattva's statue and bowing at the moment, which showed that what happened just now did not give them much warning.

After all, you can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.

"What a strange thing happened today, and I have a story to write in my miscellaneous notes. Zhang Bangchang laughed.

However, there was something wrong with his eyes when he looked at Li Xiuyuan, and he was quite respectful.

Even the Bodhisattva listened to his reasoning, and once he bent down to offer incense, even the Bodhisattva bowed his head and bowed in return.

Such a character is absolutely extraordinary.

No wonder he was able to quell the turmoil of the King of Nine Mountains, and was appreciated by the imperial court and named the history of Yangzhou Thorn.

"Haha, Brother Li, look, the sheep you bought for ten taels of silver is still with you, and it didn't get lost just now, it seems that this sheep has been ignited by the Bodhisattva and is looking for you to repay your kindness. Qian Jun on the side saw that the one-horned goat was still following Li Xiuyuan, and he didn't leave an inch

, couldn't help laughing.

Li Xiuyuan glanced back and said with a smile, "It seems that it is also spiritual, knowing that I saved it and avoided the danger of being slaughtered by trade,"

"Amitabha, what this donor said is very true, this sheep is indeed very spiritual, but the poor monk who gave incense to the Bodhisattva just now is in his eyes, and the donor can get the Bodhisattva's response must be a person with great blessings and great wisdom. An old monk came over, folded his hands and bowed

Road.

"I've seen Master Huiyuan. Zhang Bangchang and Qian Jun hurriedly returned the salute, obviously knowing this senior monk of Xiangguo Temple.

Master Huiyuan smiled and said, "The two donors are polite. ”

Li Xiuyuan also gave a salute and said: "The master is too praised, he is just an ordinary man, how can there be any wisdom, if there is a lot of offense in the remarks, please forgive the master." ”

His previous words seemed to many people to mean disrespect for the Buddha.

Speaking of this in Buddhism will cause some pilgrims and even monks to be disgusted.

But this Master Huiyuan smiled and said: "What the donor just said is very reasonable, the original intention of the Buddha is not to let people worship and worship, it is to persuade people to be good, and worshipping the Buddha is just a form, people need to arouse the good thoughts in their hearts in this way, so as to contaminate a little bit of Buddha nature,

Possess the compassion of a bodhisattva. ”

"Does the master agree with me?" Li Xiu said from afar.

"The words of the donor reveal the wisdom of the Buddha everywhere, how can the poor monk disagree? And isn't it the best proof that the Bodhisattva appeared to the donor just now? Even the Bodhisattva is listening to the donor's reasoning, will the poor monk still oppose it?" Master Huiyuan said.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "It's good that the master can understand." ”

Being able to understand his words shows that this Master Huiyuan is also a wise monk, if he can't understand and scolds, he is just a layman in a robe, and he is unwilling to communicate and talk more about such a person.

"I don't know if a few donors have come to Xiangguo Temple today to burn incense and worship the Buddha, or have they come to listen to Master Shikong's opening of the altar?" Master Huiyuan asked: "A few have received the response of the Bodhisattva, the poor monks really dare not slack off, if they burn incense and worship the Buddha, they can go to the back mountain to worship, and the poor monks can."

Let the disciples in the temple lead a few donors. ”

"We are here to listen to Master Shakti's teachings. Li Xiu said from afar.

Master Huiyuan said with a smile, "This senior brother of the poor monk has not yet reached the time to open the altar to preach the scriptures, if a few donors do not dislike it, you can go to the meditation room to drink tea and rest, and when the senior brother of the poor monk opens the altar to preach the scriptures, the poor monk will let the disciples in the temple inform a few donors." ”

"So there is Master Lao. Li Xiuyuan replied.

"Good, good, Xiangguo Temple can entertain such a distinguished guest as the donor, and it is also a blessing for the poor monk. Master Huiyuan folded his hands and said.

Soon, Master Huiyuan sent Li Xiuyuan and the others to the Zen monastery, and then said goodbye.

Zhang Bangchang said with a smile: "It is a very rare thing for a monk like Master Huiyuan to entertain us personally, usually when the high-ranking officials of the imperial court come to visit, if it is unacceptable, Master Huiyuan will not be seen, today is thanks to the blessing of Brother Li, and I am fortunate to get the gift of Master Huiyuan."

Wait, if this is said, it will be a very glorious thing. ”

"Maybe it's not for Brother Li's face, maybe it's because Master Huiyuan has been guided by the Bodhisattva. Qian Jun said with a smile, "By the way, then again, I heard about Gao Fan before, Brother Gao ran to Xiangguo Temple to borrow because he was hiding from his wife at home, and he should still be here."

Why don't we go and look for him?"

"That's right, I almost forgot that my brother is still in Xiangguo Temple, let's go, go to find him, go to find him. Qian Jun said.

Zhu Yu said: "Why don't you go to the back mountain to pay homage to the Buddha Treasure Temple while looking for someone? Don't forget that we specially brought Brother Li to play in order to thank Brother Li for his kindness that day." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot Brother Li again. Zhang Bangchang patted his forehead and laughed at himself.

A few people talked and laughed, and they were in a good mood, so they played in Xiangguo Temple.

However, when playing, Li Xiuyuan was always followed by a sheep.

This goat really follows wherever he goes, and he doesn't worry about being scared away, and he doesn't need special instructions.

It's hard to believe that this sheep was still skewering around the door of Xiangguo Temple like crazy before, almost injuring pilgrims.

Li Xiuyuan has been secretly observing this sheep, and has even used the Divine Eye Technique to investigate, but he has not seen anything strange, and there is no demonic energy on his body, let alone any traces of cultivation.

Under such circumstances, it stands to reason that this sheep should not have such spirituality.

"My cultivation path is still very short, although I have learned a lot of spells, but in some cultivation knowledge, I am not as good as a few senior brothers and junior brothers in the mountain gate, maybe I can ask the master of the Liberation Void. Li Xiuyuan said secretly.

It's a worrying thing that such a spiritual goat is always around.

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

He offended the Wutong Sect and the ghost foreman in the capital just now, that is, even the national teacher has a mustard everywhere, and he needs to keep an eye on some unreasonable things.

And when Li Xiuyuan was playing.

The previous Master Huiyuan came to a quiet meditation room, clasped his hands together and said, "Senior brother can wake up in meditation?"

"Is it Huiyuan? Come in, at this moment you must have something to do with me, if there is nothing you will not come to disturb me, just when I was in the meditation, I suddenly saw a Bodhisattva's light flashing above the treasure hall in the temple, my nose smelled a stream of sandalwood wafting, is there a Bodhisattva in the temple

Have you manifested yourself? I wonder which Bodhisattva is patronizing it?"

On the futon in the meditation room sat a monk wearing a robe, with white eyebrows and white beard.

Although he looks old, he is full of energy, and his voice does not look old at all.

Master Huiyuan pushed the door in, gave a salute and said: "I can't hide anything from Senior Brother, there is indeed a Bodhisattva manifestation in the Treasure Hall of Suitable Talents, and it is the statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva who has a vision, and this is how ......it happened."

As he spoke, he recounted what he had just seen and heard.

When he heard Li Xiuyuan say that the existence of the Buddha is to persuade people to be good, not to covet the world's offerings, Master Shikong opened his eyes and showed a look of approval.

Finally, when he heard that the greed of the world was imposed on the Bodhisattva and the Buddha, he couldn't help but sing the Buddha's horn and said: "Good, good, there are people who know the Buddha's will so much in the red dust, that donor has such wisdom and roots, it would be a pity if he didn't enter the temple to practice, and the time for the poor monk to stay in the world is running out."

If you can teach one such person one last time, then the poor monk can also leave with peace of mind. ”

But the donor was not an ordinary person, and I saw that the donor bent down to offer incense to the Bodhisattva when he had finished saying this, and the statue of Manjushri came to life and bowed to him in return. Master Huiyuan said.

Master Shikong was a little surprised and said, "The Bodhisattva appeared because of this?"

"Really. ”

Master Shakti sighed: "Sin, sin, how can a poor monk who even a bodhisattva has to be polite have such virtue to teach him, I don't know what the name of the benefactor is? ”

"That son's surname is Li, I don't know the specific name, I only know that he doesn't know the capital, like a scholar from the south, but this time is not the time to enter Beijing to take the exam. ”

Master Huiyuan said: "If the senior brother doesn't mind, the junior brother can calculate one or two." ”

Surname Lee?

From the South?

Immediately, Master Shikong's face moved slightly, as if he remembered something, and saw that his junior brother was about to use the magic power of Buddhism to calculate the man's heels, and immediately stopped him: "Senior brother, no, this person is blinded by heaven, and the gods and ghosts are unpredictable, and anyone who knows magic will definitely be punished by heaven if he forcibly calculates,

Could it be that you have cultivated for a long time, and you want to attract a thunderbolt at this moment?"

"What? how could this be?" Master Huiyuan hurriedly collected his supernatural powers in fright.

Just estimating will lead to heavenly punishment, isn't it more difficult to figure out than the emperor's fortune?

"Amitabha, the poor monk should have thought of it a long time ago, and the saint in the south should have come to the capital after calculating the time, but the poor monk was one step earlier in casting the spell, and he was delayed for a while. Master Shikong said.

"The saint of the south, that person is Li Xiuyuan mentioned by the senior brother, Li Shengren?"

Rao is heart that has been practicing for many years has also made waves.

Master Shikong said, "It should be that he can't be wrong, but the poor monk is not sure, but he is not far from ten, and only he can let the Bodhisattva return the gift." ”

"What the senior brother said is very true. Huiyuan calmed down and said in his heart.

"Since it was this Li Shengren who came, how could the poor monk not entertain him personally? Master Shikong said.

"Yes, brother. ”

Master Shikong wanted to take his apprentice Bai Yun to entertain Li Xiuyuan.

Originally, with his position in the temple, he could not meet anyone except for the necessary alms and lectures, and he would not show up unless the emperor was present in person.

But Li Xiuyuan is different.

The order of the world will change because of him, the fate of the ghosts and gods in the world will change because of him, and the situation in the world and the future will all be in his thoughts.

With such a great influence, what cultivator wouldn't mind?

In any case, this necessary courtesy is indispensable.

But at this time.

In a courtyard of the Zen Temple, Qian Jun, Zhang Bangchang, Li Xiuyuan and others found Gao Fan who had stayed in the temple because he was hiding from his wife.

Gao Fan sat alone on the steps of the courtyard, drinking wine from nowhere, looking like he was borrowing wine to drown his sorrows.

"Senior brother, what's wrong with you, you haven't seen you for two or three days, you have become so decadent?" Zhang Bangchang exclaimed.

"It's you who are here, and you are polite. Gao Fan drunkenly stood up and saluted, but he sat down because he couldn't stand steadily, and then lowered his head and shook his head: "I am afraid in my heart, I heard that my wife has been sending servants to inquire about my whereabouts, but I am afraid that I will be here soon."

I can't be pure, and now I really don't know what to do?"

"Even the pure place of Buddhism can't make me pure, it's better to get drunk before you rest. ”

He couldn't go against the virtue in his heart to divorce his wife, he had to dodge, and if he couldn't dodge, he could only get drunk and rest, and he didn't think about anything, and he could get a moment of tranquility.

Li Xiuyuan was a little amused when he saw him like this, but he also had some admiration.

There are really not many people who can stick to the bottom line of their hearts so unshakenly in these years, it's not that he has no way to get rid of the trouble of his wife, but he can't get over the hurdle in his heart.

"Senior brother, it's not a way for you to escape like this, why don't you let me be a peacemaker for you, and see if I can persuade your fierce wife? Li Xiuyuan thought about it

I decided to help this high fan.

Not because he is pitiful, but because he insists on virtue that deserves his own praise.

"Brother Li, this matter is not something you can solve. Gao Fan shook his head in disappointment.

Zhang Bangchang next to him said, "Brother Gao, you also saw the situation in the restaurant last time, Brother Li has the ability to catch ghosts and eliminate demons, and maybe he also has the ability to persuade people to change their evil ways and return to righteousness? You have been troubled by your fierce wife for a long time, why don't you let Brother Li try it? Even if you don't try, your wife will soon be found."

It's not a long-term solution to come here. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Li, he has special skills that are worth trying. Qian Jun also said.

Zhu Yu also persuaded him.

They all believed in Li Xiuyuan very much and felt that he had the ability to resolve the grievances between the two.

This kind of belief is almost blind, not what a sane person should have, but knowing that this is different for Li Xiuyuan.

That's probably the charm.

"Then try ......it," Gao Fan heard the persuasion of everyone, hesitated for a while, and then cautiously replied.

"That's right, how do you know if your matter can't be solved without trying? You and I are friends, how can I bear to see you suffer like this. Zhang Bangchang said.

Gao Fan was extremely grateful and said: "If this matter is successful, the great kindness of several people will be unforgettable." ”

Zhang Bangchang said with a smile: "You don't want to thank me, but Brother Li, he is the person with real skills, we just have a few more words." ”

Li Xiuyuan was a little embarrassed at the moment.

I just tried to help, but I didn't expect them to believe in their own skills so much, saying that the matter of this family relationship is that the gods can't figure it out, where does he have absolute certainty, and he is not going to kill demons.

If he kills some evil spirits and demons, then he must be full of confidence.

But since the words are out, he can't take them back, and he also wants to see what kind of fierce wife he has with the Great Song Kingdom, and he can also see and understand.
