"Since the second brother said that he was going to find me, he must have gone to Lingyin Temple, and it seems that Lingyin Temple must go back. Alas, after hiding from the old monk Huiyuan for so many days, some things still have to be faced after all. ”

Li Xiuyuan used Xuan Gong to temporarily suppress the injuries on his body, and walked directly towards the Lingyin Temple opposite.

The melodious sound of the bell of the temple in the middle of the night, accompanied by the sound of the wooden fish, makes people feel peaceful.

"Little rabbit, after hiding outside for so many days, finally knows that he is back. Tut-tut, in the past half a year in Zhinian'an, your body has been polished and formed, but relying on brute force alone, it is still a rotten wood after all, and you can't even deal with a small snake demon, and you came back with a wound, it's really a shame for your master and my face. ”

Abbot Huiyuan sat in the clear abbot's room with his eyes closed, his body was full of Buddha light, but the words he said were vulgar.

"Hehe, still a little snake demon? That's the Jindan Demon King, old monk, you touch your conscience and ask, since I entered the temple, have you taught me a spell? If you rely only on your master, you can burn my ashes into relics today." ”

Li Xiuyuan walked in front of Zen Master Huiyuan with a broken fan, he sat on the futon in front of the abbot's meditation bed, and immediately shot back angrily.

"Eh, what's this?" Zen Master Huiyuan looked stunned for a moment, and sighed: "Alas, there is a reason why the teacher doesn't teach you spells, because the old monk's spells are too demanding for Huigen, and you can't learn it at all with your understanding, so it is better to teach you to chant the scriptures well, and you can also preside over a few Dharma events for people in the future, so that when the old monk dies in the future, you can also have a craft to live by, so that you will not be starved to death." ”

Li Xiuyuan didn't bother to pay attention to him, he lay on his side on the ground, looked at Zen Master Huiyuan fixedly, but stopped talking.

The two of them were in silence when they heard the hall knock on the cloud board, and after a while, a little novice brought the meal.

"Hehe, apprentice, it's so late, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" Zen Master Huiyuan said to Li Xiuyuan with a little flattery, and he handed over a small bowl on the meditation bed.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at the contents of Abbot Huiyuan's bowl and sighed: "There are a few star bran in the little yellow bowl, half sour leek and half gourd." It is against Buddhism not to be born, and there is nothing in the bowl after birth. ”

When Zen Master Huiyuan heard such a poem made by the monk Daoji, he immediately felt comforted, and also sighed and said: "Good, good, disciple, you finally understand the teacher's good intentions." ”

Li Xiuyuan chuckled, suddenly pushed the small yellow bowl away, and took out a pot of turbid wine from his arms, as well as a large piece of cooked dog meat wrapped in cloth.

A mouthful of dog meat and a mouthful of turbid wine went down to his stomach, and Li Xiuyuan suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Smelling the aroma of wine and meat, Zen Master Huiyuan quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he frowned, and asked with a righteous face: "Disciple, what do you mean by this?"

Li Xiuyuan burped and said: "The disciple is not greedy, the disciple thinks that this is two pieces, and the Buddha is not to blame." One fishy and two fishy, the Buddha is not angry. One bowl or two bowls, the Buddha doesn't care, Master, do you want to have some too?"

Abbot Huiyuan was a little moved, and quickly shook his head and smiled helplessly: "The Buddha doesn't hate you, and he doesn't care about you, don't you feel ashamed yourself?"

"I don't think so. Li Xiuyuan laughed and said: "Hahaha, don't you hear it, the Buddha left a poem, and I don't cultivate my mouth." Others don't cultivate their minds, and I don't cultivate their minds. ”

"Amitabha, Dao Ji Wu disciple, after awakening to your previous life, you really have extraordinary understanding, and if you can make such remarks, you have fulfilled the true meaning of Zen. Abbot Huiyuan sighed.

As soon as he heard Monk Huiyuan take the initiative to mention his past life, Li Xiuyuan's eyes froze, and he suddenly crossed the meditation bed and sat directly beside Zen Master Huiyuan.

I saw Monk Daoji staring at Zen Master Huiyuan with burning eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Old monk, the poor monk has a few questions he wants to ask you, and I hope you can answer them truthfully." ”

"Hehe, you can ask whatever you want, if you can, the old monk will tell you the truth. Yuan Blind Tang picked up the Qianzhi again and began to knock on the wooden fish.

Li Xiuyuan asked directly, "What is your relationship with my previous life Dragon Descending Arhat?"

"In his previous life, he was the servant of the poor monk, and the old monk in this life is your protector. ”

"Why did I have to reincarnate in my previous life?"

Zen Master Huiyuan said with a smile: "Hehe, the master's plan is as deep as the sand sea of the Ganges River, and there are some things that the old monk can't answer, and you still need to find out all this yourself." ”

What kind of bullshit is as deep as the sea's calculations, no matter how deep the calculations, the reincarnation of the Dragon Arhat is not taken away by Lao Tzu.

Li Xiuyuan couldn't stop laughing in his heart.

"Since you are my protector, why didn't you tell me before? Moreover, what are your responsibilities to protect the path?" Li Xiuyuan still didn't dare to fully believe in this old monk of Huiyuan.

"Before you wake up, the old monk will not confide a word, the responsibility of protecting the way is on you, if you have an order, even if the old monk gives up his life at this moment, it is not a pity. The protector is born for the Lord of the Protector, and nothing else should be involved in human affairs, otherwise he will be rejected by the laws of this world and can no longer reside in the world. Yuan Blind Hall explained to Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan asked again: "Last question, where is my second brother Yuan Hong at this time?"

"After the white ape broke into the Lingyin Temple, he was captured by the warrior monks of the Dharma Hall, and he should be being tried in the Dharma Hall at this time. Zen Master Huiyuan closed his eyes.

"Damn, old monk, why did you say it now, if you had known that the second brother was on trial, then I was still arguing with you, the old monk, here?" Li Xiuyuan smiled disdainfully, and ran towards the Dharma Hall.

In the Dharma Hall of Lingyin Temple, the monk Guangliang said: "White Ape, since you have enlightened your spiritual wisdom, you should know that the precepts of Buddhism should not be violated lightly, and now you have entered my Lingyin Temple to steal treasures, and the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?"

"Hmph, you guys are bloody people, I came to Lingyin Temple this time to find my eldest brother Daoji monk, not to steal your things, if I hadn't been injured in a fight with people before, how could you catch me with you waste?" Yuan Hong roared with a sad and angry face.

It wore heavy shackles around its neck, its limbs were bound by four black chains, its body was stained with blood and countless scars, and it was forced to kneel on the Dharma Hall by the monks, looking very humiliated.

"The little beast is so daring, he was caught stealing, and he dared to speak out?"

"Hahaha, Senior Brother Daoji actually worships an untransformed white ape, this is a strange story through the ages?"

"Didn't someone in the temple say that Daoji has become Jidian, and it's not too unusual that he can do such a ridiculous thing. ”

"Hehe, Ji Dian was imprisoned in the Zhinian Nunnery for stealing monk's clothes for half a year, and then fled to the temple. Oh, no, one of them is a man and the other is an ape? It's harder to tell the difference. ”

As soon as the monk Guangliang raised his hand, the monks who were talking about it immediately stopped, and only listened to the monk Guangliang: "White ape, even if you don't admit your guilt, this punishment is inevitable, but for the sake of Zen Master Huili, you are a first-time offender, and you will only be whipped fifty. ”

"Yes, senior brother!" the law enforcement monk took out a whip from the offering table in front of the Buddha and handed it to the hand of the monk Guangliang.

"Senior Brother Guangliang, slow down!" Pingkong shouted, and Li Xiuyuan hurried from outside the door of the Dharma Hall.

"Big brother!" Yuan Hong raised his head and exclaimed in surprise.

"Ji Dian, why is he here?" the monks also exclaimed.

Hearing Li Xiuyuan's roar, the Guangliang monk's eyes flashed, his hand still kept moving, and the whip was whipped towards the white ape under the hall.

With a "snap", the whip and the object were twisted together, but it was an arm-thick evergreen vine.

The monk Guangliang of the temple held the whip, and the monk of Daoji held the vine, and the two things were pulled fiercely in the Dharma hall, and they did not give in to each other.

Suddenly, Monk Daoji chuckled, and as soon as his hand was released, the Guangliang monk pulled the whip and took a few steps back, his face turned pale.

He only felt that Daoji had let himself lose face in front of the monks.

"Hmph, Senior Brother Daoji, what do you mean by this, are you trying to obstruct the law enforcement of the Fatang?" asked Guangliang, the monk in charge of the temple, coldly.

Li Xiuyuan laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, Senior Brother Guangliang has a big hat button, and the poor monk has to take it." However, even if the poor monk wants to obstruct you from enforcing the law, what will you do?"

"How dare you ......" The Guangliang monk was speechless, so he had to say coldly: "The poor monk will report this matter to the abbot." ”

"Coincidentally, the poor monk has just come from the abbot's master, and the master said that the poor monk can handle the matter here, if the senior brother doesn't believe it, we can go to the abbot's room to confront him at this moment?" Li Xiuyuan said fearlessly.

It's good to have an abbot as a protector, I'm his master, and he dares not to listen to me?

"Alas, how could the abbot be so indulgent to Senior Brother Daoji?" Guangliang was indignant and said helplessly.

"Hehe, the poor monk is not an unreasonable person, since you want to frame my second brother for stealing the property in the temple, please also show evidence, if there is no evidence, I am afraid that Senior Brother Guangliang will not escape the responsibility, the poor monk will definitely go to the abbot and accuse you of a crime of abuse of power. Li Xiuyuan walked to the hall, sat on the first place, and looked at the Guangliang monk.

"This evil beast sneaked into the temple to steal the treasure, and was caught by the law enforcement monks of the Dharma Hall, this matter is in everyone's eyes, what evidence do you need for Daoji's junior brother?" asked the supervisor Guangliang suspiciously.

"Hehe, everyone is watching, what he said is really light, catch the traitor and catch the double, catch the thief and take the stolen goods, since Senior Brother Guangliang said so, there is no evidence. You said that it came to steal treasures, and it came to steal treasures, which is really ridiculous!" Li Xiuyuan's face suddenly turned cold.

"This ·····" The Guangliang monk was speechless.

"Don't let my second brother go yet!" Li Xiuyuan looked at the law enforcement monk with a cold face.

The law enforcement monk was intimidated by the momentum of the Daoji monk, and hurriedly stepped forward to untie the shackles of the white ape.

"Big brother, this old bald donkey has taken away my things!" Yuan Hong took off the shackles and immediately pointed to Monk Guangliang and said to Li Xiuyuan.

"Hmph, what can you have that the poor monk covets, don't think about framing the poor monk!"

"Okay, then tell me what this is?" Yuan Hongfei stepped forward and pulled out a green bag from Guangliang's monk's robe.

"This ····· No way, what is this? How can it be on a poor monk? It must be your hands and feet!" Guangliang monk's face was full of disbelief.

"No, Senior Brother Guangliang doesn't look like this kind of person, right?"

"Who knows, but this thing is indeed on Senior Brother Guangliang's body!"

Hehe, "Wishful Treasure Book" is really powerful, Yuan Hong's technique, even Guangliang didn't find a flaw?

Li Xiuyuan smiled secretly in his heart, and said with a cold face: "Hmph, I framed myself for being stolen by others, but I didn't think that I was the one who stole the treasure, Senior Brother Guangliang, what else do you have to say now?"

"It's not me, it's really not me, how could a poor monk do such a thing?" Guangliang, the monk in charge of the temple, turned his head to look at the monks in the Dharma hall, and the monks hurriedly avoided Guangliang's gaze for help.

"Forget it, the poor monk doesn't plan to investigate this matter deeply, and I also ask Senior Brother Guangliang to take it as a warning, but I am afraid that Senior Brother Guangliang's position as the superintendent of the temple can no longer be assumed, you take the initiative to resign from the position of superintendent with the abbot master!" Li Xiuyuan hid the smile in his heart and said as usual.

As soon as the monks heard what Dao Ji said to Guangliang, their eyes lit up, and they also wanted to sit in the position of supervising the temple.

Guangliang, the monk in charge of the temple, glanced at the expressions of everyone in the Dharma hall, sighed in his heart, stopped talking, and walked towards the abbot's room with a gloomy expression.

Today, his prestige is lost, his face is disgraced, even if he licks his face and serves as the supervisor of the temple, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public.

Li Xiuyuan not only established his prestige among the monks, but also punished the monk Guangliang who had been looking at him unpleasantly, and his heart was very happy, so he took Yuan Hong to Lin'an City to have a dash.
