Chapter 210: It's hard to resist kindness
The housekeeper smiled: "Eh, my lord, you can put a hundred hearts~ How dare I joke about this kind of small thing~ plus these four today, it's really exactly 10,000!"
When the Kou member heard this, he was really smiling, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to glow, and he stroked his beard again and again: "Okay! Okay! Okay, housekeeper, you will order to go down, find a few capable family members, go and pick up a few upper rooms on the west side of the chamber, and inform the room to add ten more dishes, so that those masters can use their respective housekeeping skills, don't hide them, and receive a few monks according to the highest specifications.
As soon as he heard that there was a reward, the housekeeper's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Eh~ I said that the master, you should put a hundred hearts, and the small ones will go and ensure that they are properly handled, and they will never be ashamed of you~"
As he spoke, he was about to trot to work, but as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by the outside of the Kou staff and hurriedly smiled: "Master, do you have any other orders?"
Kou Yuan said: "Let me ask you, where did the holy monk who came first just now go?"
The housekeeper said: "Master, that Buddha is not simple at first glance, how dare the little ones slack off, I let Ah Fu lead him to the Buddha Hall before." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
However, it is said that this Kou member is devout to the Buddha, so the Buddhist hall at home is selected to be the most solid and superior temple in the house, not only there is a Buddhist hall dedicated to the Buddha, but also the Sutra Hall where the Kou Yuan usually meditates and recites the scriptures, so that in order to facilitate the reception of past monks, the Kou Yuan Wai also spent great efforts to build a good Zhai Hall, but it is another inconspicuous courtyard not far away, which is the residence of the Kou Wai Ordinary Residence, so the wives of those rooms are not less because of this to the Kou Wai complained.
When he was young, he also scolded and admonished these women with long hair and short knowledge, and later he was also annoyed by the chatter, so he simply set aside a few small courtyards for a few women to take care of and toss.
Let's talk about the family Ah Fu who was selected by the housekeeper to entertain the golden cicada, who is not very old, but he is very clever, especially after staying in Kou Mansion for a long time, he has seen more monks in the past, and he has seen the extraordinary of the golden cicada in comparison, so he is very careful in serving diligently.
On the way, he took the golden cicada to the beautiful place in the Kou Mansion, and slowed down his pace intentionally or unintentionally, and did not dare to have the slightest urging, just thinking that this holy monk would have a good look at the scenery of the Kou Mansion and his lord's devotion to the Buddha.
It took a lot of effort to go around and around like this, so that before he entered the Buddhist hall, the anxious Kou Yuanwai caught up behind.
As soon as the main lord arrived, the position of this escort would naturally not be the turn of Ah Fu and other subordinates.
I saw that the Kou member took half a step ahead and personally led the way for the golden cicada, "Holy monk, please see, this is the Buddhist hall where Xiao Lao'er worships the Buddha on weekdays......"
The golden cicada looked along the defense line of the outer fingers of the Kou member, only to see the incense clouds curling in the Buddha hall, and the high incense inserted in the altar was the thickness of the arm, and the entire Buddhist hall was lit with expensive ever-bright lanterns, and there were red candles between the ever-bright lamps.
The bright yellow brocade is spread in the four places, and the good mahogany shelves are displayed, and the shelves are decorated with purple gold wall clocks that make Lang full of eyes.
In the middle of the Buddha hall there is a high gold lacquer clay statue of Buddha, the face of the Buddha statue is the portrait of the great day that is circulated in the mortal world, the face is very clear, the posture is also quite natural, at a glance it is to invite the best skilled craftsman to spend a lot of effort.
Behind the clay sculpture of the Great Day is a huge mural with the top grounded, which depicts the scene of the Great Leiyin Temple in the imagination of the world, among which thousands of true Buddhas and ten thousand Arhats are very close to the painting.
On the offering table carved with lacquer before the clay sculpture of the Buddha, there are several bronze furnaces and bronze bottles, and the pictures and texts of lotus flowers are also painted on them.
Such a scene is placed in the Eagle Peak Da Lei Yin Temple in the Pure Land Pure Land Ling Mountain, which is naturally poor and dilapidated, and even if it is placed in the West Heaven Buddha Kingdom, there are many Buddhist temples that are more luxurious and dazzling than this.
However, compared to the Thirteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions, the Dharma Temple built by ordinary kings is not very inferior, if it is placed in this small town, it is simply a miraculous scene, which shows that this Kou Yuan is definitely a first-class believer.
Originally, the solemnity on the face of the golden cicada was still a little deliberate, but after arriving at this Buddhist hall, he couldn't help but be deeply infected, and his gestures became more and more simple and natural, a little less pretentious and a little more original.
Then he cleaned his hands in a golden basin that had been erected outside the Buddha hall, and took up the incense and candles from the offering table.
After the incense, Kou Yuanwai led the golden cicada to the side of the scripture hall.
This scripture hall is different from the Buddha hall, there is no incense cloud lamppost Buddha murals, it looks more pure and natural.
The first thing that catches your eye is the wooden shelves, on which countless scriptures are piled up, and there are several white jade boxes on display, and there are many simple handwritings that have been painstakingly collected by the courtiers.
In addition, there is a ground couch, in front of the couch is a small table, there are pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the small table, all of them are some scenic treasures of the study, and there are also a lot of elegant things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting hanging on the four walls, and the interest of the owner of the room is more.
After Jin Chanzi looked at the scripture hall, Kou Yuanwai had time to talk, "I don't know where the holy monk's treasure is, how can he come to my Diling County." ”
This is the most common rhetoric, before the eastward journey, if the Buddha had already explained, he listened to the golden cicada said: "The poor monk is from the Western Heaven Buddha country, and this trip is all the way to the east, in order to promote Buddhism and purify all sentient beings." ”
Hearing this, the officer's body trembled, and the bowl of tea he had just picked up in his hand couldn't help but spill some of it, and he hurriedly stabilized his mind, but the look in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
"...... of the Western Heavenly Buddha Kingdom"
"Holy monk, is there really a Western Heaven Buddha in this world?"
As a devout believer, it is simply a great sin for him to ask these words, especially when the holy monk in front of him claims to be from the Western Heaven Buddha Kingdom, isn't this questioning what the holy monk said.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly apologized: "Don't blame the holy monk, Xiao Lao'er didn't mean that, it's just that many monks and laymen went to the West to find the Buddha country before, and then there was no news......
Jin Chanzi said: "The staff is polite, the little monk is from the West Heaven Buddha Country, but the place where the Buddha Country is located is very mysterious, the road is full of difficulties and obstacles, and people who are not with great perseverance, determination, and courage cannot reach it, even if they arrive at the place, if they are not dedicated to the Buddha, even if the Buddha Country is in front of them, it is difficult to see." ”
Kou Yuanwai nodded again and again when he heard this, only to feel that many questions in his heart suddenly became clear, and he hurriedly asked a few words about what is the scene in the West Heaven Buddha Kingdom.
The golden cicada didn't hide it, but only added fuel and vinegar to the real scene in the Western Heavenly Buddha Kingdom, and only fascinated the heart of the outsider, and I couldn't wait to immediately leave behind the family wealth and run to the pure land in my heart.
But then after listening to Jin Chanzi talk about the hardships and obstacles he experienced on the way from the Buddha Kingdom to Diling County, it was like a basin of ice water poured down on his head, he didn't doubt his piety, but it was so rugged and bumpy that it could be said that it was a life of nine deaths, and Kou Yuanwai really didn't have the determination and perseverance to gamble.
After chatting for a few more sentences, the topic turned to Wukong, Sha Langlan, Zhu Ganglie and others, Jin Chanzi said according to what the Buddha confessed before leaving, saying that Wukong, Sha Langlan, and Zhu Ganglie were all his apprentices, and the three of them had their own strengths, if there was no protection from these three people all the way, he might not be able to get out of the Western Desert and come to Diling County smoothly.
When he heard that the three of them were the apprentices of the holy monk in front of him, and saw that the holy monk said that these people had their own good skills, his face immediately became a little unnatural, and he secretly found an excuse to accuse and went out of the scripture hall.
Hurriedly found a family member to come over, and ordered to go down to entertain Zhu Ganglie and the other three, without the slightest slackness, and then returned to the scripture hall to talk to Jin Chanzi.
This time, the golden cicada opened his mouth to greet him, asking about the family background of the Kou Yuanwai and the story of the Buddha card in front of the door.
Kou Yuanwai mentioned that the Buddha card couldn't help but be happy, smiled and said: "Back to the holy monk's words, the little old man is cheap Kou Hong, the word is wide and wide, now he is forty and six, in the early years because of some craftsmanship to make a fortune, at the age of forty there was a serious illness, all over the surrounding counties of the famous doctors came to diagnose and treat, but the treatment has not improved. ”
"It just so happened that the old mother ate fasting and believed in the Buddha, saw that I described the emaciation and suffering in the heart, so I prayed for me in the Buddhist hall day and night, and later invited the monks to do things, and my illness was greatly improved, and since then I have been grateful to the Buddha Longen, and made a grand wish to fast and thank the monks to do the consummation. ”
"It has been twenty-four years since then, the little old man also specially prepared a book of monks' accounts for this purpose, and added a sum after each fast, and it didn't take long for the body to be completely healed, and the root of the disease that fell when he was seriously ill was also clean, some time ago when he had nothing to do, he asked the housekeeper to count the name of the monk in the account, and it turned out that he had unconsciously thanked 9,996 monks, and only four monks were left to be complete. ”
"God is pitiful, how to think that today there will be four holy monks descending from the sky, so that the little old man can complete the grand wish of ten thousand monks, and ask the holy monk to stay in the cold house for a few more days anyway, after the little old man has done the perfect dharma, he must be ready to get off the carriage and send a few holy monks to continue to the east, and please the holy monk do not shirk ah......"
Jin Chanzi saw that the sincere words of this Kou member were not false, and he thought in his heart that he would take advantage of the opportunity for the Kou member to do things outside, but it would be the best of both worlds to promote the teachings of Buddhism, so he did not make many excuses, and responded to the situation......
