Chapter 312: Master Guiyuan
Shen Jiuling took Gao Jie's arm and led the way in front, passing through three halls in a row. On the way to the fastest update, she smiled and gave a guide to the master of the void and Gao's masterpiece with great interest:
"This first hall to enter the courtyard is called the Heavenly King Palace, and it is dedicated to the four heavenly kings of the heavenly court... ”
"The main hall of the second courtyard is called the Guanyin Palace, in addition to enshrined the Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva, the hall also hangs the imperial book plaque of the Holy Ancestor Lu Zu 'Shuixin Baizi'. . . ”
"The third entrance to the Lu Zu Palace, is the main hall of the temple, the hall hanging the Holy Ancestor Imperial Book plaque 'Cane Spring Flower Rain'... ”
Passing through the Lu Zu Hall and coming to the fourth courtyard, Shen Jiuling pointed to the last hall and said: "That is the Medicine Master Pavilion, and the Holy Ancestor Imperial Book Plaque is hung inside. ”
The Void Master said: "I see, thank you so much, Miss Jiu'er!"
Shen Jiuling chuckled, let go of Gao Jie's arm, came to the gate of the Medicine Master Pavilion, knocked lightly on the door and said, "Master, the guest has arrived!"
An old female voice came from inside the door: "Come in!"
Shen Jiuling gently pushed open the door of the hall, and when she turned her head, her expression had already become dignified and calm, and she no longer laughed, and said respectfully: "Master of Clearance, please!"
Seeing this, Gao Jie secretly said that this Shen Jiuling was originally a girl with a lively personality, but at this moment, she suddenly became restrained and polite, probably because her master, Master Guiyuan, was very strict with her.
The Void Master nodded with a faint smile, and led Gao Jie across the high threshold at the entrance of the main hall and stepped into the hall.
In the Medicine Pavilion, dozens of bright oil lamps were burned, illuminating the dim hall very brightly, and the air was filled with the smell of incense and sesame oil. In front of the statue of the tall Medicine Master King Bodhisattva, a bald old nun sits cross-legged on a futon, not happy, sad, or angry, and meditates behind closed doors.
The Master of Clearance took a few steps forward, sat down slowly on a futon in front of her, closed his eyes, and said nothing.
Gao Jie stood behind Master Jingkong, and looked at the famous Master Gui Yuan, the founding leader of the Western Mahayana Sect, and saw that although he was over sixty years old, his complexion was ruddy, his skin was smooth, and he didn't seem to be able to find a single wrinkle, and he was as well maintained as a middle-aged nun in his forties. She couldn't find the prayer beads commonly used by Buddhist disciples on her neck and hand, but next to the futon where she was sitting, there was a handle of Buddha dust used by Taoist priests.
Gao Jie and Shen Jiuling didn't dare to make a sound, so they could only stand suddenly like the sculpture of the Medicine Master King Bodhisattva, looking at the two old nuns who were silent.
It wasn't until an oil lamp in the corner of the main hall burst out of a spark and made a soft sound that Master Guiyuan slowly opened his eyes, looked at the Clearance Master in front of him for a moment, and suddenly said: "Isn't this master unclear about the rules of this temple? !
Gao Jie didn't expect Master Guiyuan to not even look at him, so he broke through the details of his man, and when he was surprised, he heard Master Wen Yan say: "There is a reason for this, does Master Guiyuan want to know?"
Master Guiyuan didn't answer immediately, raised his eyes and looked at Shen Jiuling and said lightly: "Jiu'er, you still say that you practice hard every day, and now you haven't even seen through the body of a man, what qualifications do you have to travel with your teacher?
When Shen Jiuling heard that Master said that Gao Jie was a man, she was already stunned. At this moment, he was reprimanded by the master again, and even the trip that had been finalized was ruined, thinking that he had a good heart for a while, but in exchange for such an ending, he suddenly felt bitter in his heart, and tears were dripping in his eyes. She didn't dare to argue, she just glanced at Gao Jie fiercely, and then turned around and left the hall.
Gao Jie naturally felt Shen Jiuling's resentful gaze, if there was a thorn in his back, he felt a deep apology in his heart, and was about to say a few words to defend her, when he heard the pure space master say lightly: "Gui Yuan, this matter is all because Lao Ni deliberately concealed it, Jiu'er girl is pure-hearted, just out of kindness, why do you bother to be with her? It seems that it is not only Jiu'er girl who does not practice enough!"
Guiyuan Master Wen Yan, his eyes flashed, and he once again set his eyes on the Clearance Master. Since she served as the fifth presiding officer of Baoming Temple and founded the Western Mahayana Sect, her identity has become increasingly respected, that is, the Empress Dowager Li, who is as noble as the Empress Dowager of Wanli, and she also wants to be called a master of Guiyuan.
Staring at the Void Master who was still sitting upright with his eyes closed, he looked at it for a long time, and then Master Guiyuan spoke: "Who are you?"
The Void Master opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "Are you still alive and well?"
As soon as Master Clearspace's words fell, Master Guiyuan's eyes widened, shocked, she looked at the old nun in front of her for a moment, and suddenly grabbed Master Clearspace's hand, her face showed a look of great joy, and exclaimed: "Sister Hongxia?!You are Sister Hongxia!"
The void master nodded slightly: "Yes, Sister Hongxia is old, so old that you can't even recognize it!"
Master Guiyuan still has the appearance of half of Dao Gaoni at this moment, holding the hand of Master Jingkong, excited, and choked up: "Sister is old, isn't my sister the same?" Although decades have passed, my appearance is no longer what it was back then, but I should recognize my sister no matter what." But I never imagined that my sister would also become a nun!"
Master Pure Space reached out and touched Master Guiyuan's bald head, and said with a smile: "Like you, I have shaved off thousands of troubles, so we are like sisters!"
Master Guiyuan's eyes were full of tears, and he said sadly and happily: "My sister is still like back then, she likes to make me happy!"
Seeing this sudden change, Gao Jie had already stood on the spot, and secretly said in his heart, no wonder the master volunteered to come with him, it turned out that he had a great relationship with the founder of the Western Mahayana Sect.
Master Clearance and Master Guiyuan spoke hand in hand, telling each other the joy of reunion after a long absence, and only after a while did they remember Gao Jie, who was numb. Master Clearance looked back and said, "Xiaojie, you come to meet Master Guiyuan!"
Gao Jie stepped forward according to his words, knelt down on a futon, kowtowed three times to Master Guiyuan, and said, "Boy Gao Jie, I've seen the master!"
Master Gui Yuan said with a smile: "This little brother Gao Jie is extraordinary, if it weren't for Lao Ni's old eyesight, he would really be like Jiu'er, and he would mistake you for a handsome girl!"
Gao Jie's old face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "There is a mystery hidden in the master's words, and the kid listens to it, and he doesn't know whether to be happy or depressed." It's just that the kid is born optimistic, so it's right to be a compliment!"
Master Guiyuan listened to Gao Jie's interesting words, and couldn't help covering his mouth with a monk's robe, and laughed.
The master of the void also smiled: "Gui Yuan, this kid is my sister's apprentice, he has always been stubborn, not only likes to mess around like a monkey all day long, but also often talks nonsense, which really gives me a headache!"
Master Guiyuan put down the sleeves of his robe, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Sister's words are also quite mysterious, and I don't know if she is complaining or showing off!"
Gao Jie said: "According to Xiaojie's judgment, it is estimated that most of them are showing off!"
As the chestnut of the Clearance Master fell on Gao Jie's skull, a burst of cheerful laughter sounded in the pharmacist hall of Baoming Temple, which had been solemn for many years.
After Shen Jiuling left the Medicine Master Palace, tears finally slid down her face. She grew up in Baoming Temple since she was a child, and she almost never stepped out of the temple gate, except for the master, she was accompanied by nuns of all sizes. On the day of the festival, since she had not been shaved, even if the ladies of the palace or princes and important ministers came, they could only hide in the wings and look curiously through the holes in the window paper. In other words, she has grown so big, let alone a man, even a woman in the world has never seen it properly, let alone talked and laughed and made friends. So as soon as he saw Gao Jie, who was wrapped in pink and dressed as a daughter's family, An was able to distinguish between male and female, and was happy because he met a layman woman like himself for the first time. Who knew that this "sister" turned out to be a fake, so that she was not only reprimanded by her master, but also lost the opportunity to travel for the first time, and her sadness was beyond words.
Trotting all the way back to her room, she threw herself on the bed and couldn't help but cry aggrievedly. After crying for a long time, the sense of grievance disappeared a little, and the resentment rose again. Naturally, what she hated was not the master who treated her like a mother despite being harsh, but the hateful fake "sister" Gao Jie! She got up and picked up the teacup on the table, not caring that the tea inside was already cold, she raised her head and drank it all, and then angrily slammed the teacup on the table, the teacup actually sank into the wooden table for more than half an inch, but the fragile body of the cup was intact.
Master Guiyuan is a recognized prodigy, commonly surnamed Zhang, Beizhi Kaiping (now Chicheng County, Hebei Province) Zhongtun Weiren, since childhood deeply influenced by the White Lotus Sect, nine years old monk as a nun, twelve years old Shun Tianbaoming Temple. Because she is familiar with the scriptures, quite understanding, according to the law to write, in the fifth year of Longqing (1571) to write two volumes of the "Yuanjue Sutra", claiming to be the motherless mother, Guanyin Bodhisattva and Baoming Temple founder Lu Bodhisattva incarnation, founded the Western Mahayana religion, and then successively wrote four other treasure scrolls, completed in the fifth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1573), known as the "Mahayana Five Sutras".
In addition to the five scriptures that are famous in the Ming Dynasty and the opposition in the Ming Dynasty, Master Guiyuan also integrated many advanced martial arts of the White Lotus Sect, and created the "Yuanjue Gongfa" that belongs to the Western Mahayana Sect, and became a martial arts master.
Shen Jiuling was picked up by Master Guiyuan from the roadside in the suburbs of Beijing eighteen years ago, when she was not yet one year old, waiting to be fed on the roadside, dying. Master Guiyuan was merciful and took her back to the temple to raise her. As Shen Jiuling grew up, Master Guiyuan realized that her talent was extraordinary, and he was even more happy, so he taught all the "Guiyuan Gongfa". Because Shen Jiuling was born innocent, lively and lovely, it was really inappropriate to recite scriptures and participate in Buddhism, and Master Guiyuan couldn't bear to let her escape from the world as a monk, so he carefully cultivated her as a lay disciple, and did not expect her to inherit the mantle of Western Mahayana.
Shen Jiuling is like a piece of jade buried deep in the ground, pure and flawless, but also valuable, seemingly harmless to humans and animals, full of innocence, but in fact, she has shocking martial arts.
Looking at the teacup that was sunk into the tabletop, Shen Jiuling pouted, still unable to breathe, but she heard a sudden knock on the door.
Shen Jiuling straightened her clothes, wiped away her tears, and then opened the door, and saw that it was the little senior sister Huiyuan, so she pouted and asked, "Senior sister, is there something wrong?"
Huiyuan looked at Shen Jiuling's red eyes, and couldn't help but smile: "Jiu'er, how did you become a little white rabbit?!
Shen Jiuling stretched out her hand and pinched Huiyuan's arm, and said, "You haven't been deceived, you haven't been punished by the master, where do you understand the discomfort of others!"
Hui Yuan stretched out his index finger and scratched Shen Jiuling's little face: "I don't understand people's discomfort, but Senior Sister knows that Master is in a good mood now, and it won't be a bad thing to call you to the Medicine Master Hall again!
Shen Jiuling's eyes lit up when she heard this, she hugged Huiyuan and kissed her on the face, and ran away in a blink of an eye.
