Chapter 11 Arrogance and arrogance

Luocheng is located in Qingzhou, under the jurisdiction of the Tianshan faction, Qingzhou has a vast area, many mountains, endless, magnificent, because it is the turn of winter and spring, the new green is not born, the vegetation on the hills is withered, the heaven and the earth are one color, and the feeling of vastness comes to the face.

Qiu Xin had been delayed in the Fei family for a long time, and did not dare to take a break after leaving Los Angeles, so he hurried for several days, and within a few days he had reached the border of Qingzhou, indulging in the beautiful scenery of the north along the way, but also forgot the feeling of fatigue on the road. It is strange to say, Qingsang Mountain is only more than 100 miles away from here, although it is covered with ice and snow all the year round, but the trees on the mountain are evergreen, and the scenery here is very different, and here is more like the northern winter.

According to what Fei Zhong said, out of Qingzhou, you will arrive at the jurisdiction of Mount Meru, Huizhou, which is the most simple place in the world, because one of the three Tantras is settling on Mount Meru.

Tantra is a Buddhist sect, in the sects are the most mysterious, so far no one knows its origin, the disciples are all people who have escaped into the empty door, there is no dispute with the world, pay attention to educating the world, inspire the principles of heaven, although the Tantric disciples have always been low-key, but the strength should not be underestimated, although the demon sect attacked Mount Tai, do not put the righteous sect in the eyes, but did not dare to step into Huizhou step, so Mount Meru has also become the sacred place that the monks of the world yearn for.

On this day, Qiu Xin took Xiaobai to the foot of Mount Meru, although the whole mountain is not very tall, but covers a vast area, very huge, the mountain is full of Bodhi trees, under the illumination of the sun, it shows a faint golden light, dyes the whole mountain into a golden color, the temples are hidden among the trees, scattered, and it looks more peaceful and quiet under the mountain.

This situation also made Qiu Xin feel calm, and he felt like he was old enough to be in this mountain.

In Los Angeles, the words of the Taoist priest made him feel uneasy, and he just wanted to go to Mount Tai as soon as possible to worship his parents' spiritual position, and then return to the mountain, which made it difficult to abandon distracting thoughts when practicing at night.

"Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where to stir up dust. Today, I am fortunate to go to the holy land of Buddhism and worship the Buddha on the mountain. Qiu Xin sighed like this, and took Xiaobai to step on the mountaineering steps.

"Sister, let's go back, my father and mother asked us to go back early, otherwise we will be scolded again. ”

"No, I have to go up the mountain today, and let the abbot accept me as a disciple. ”

Hearing such a loud quarrel, the pilgrims who went up the mountain also stopped and watched, talking were two women, one was wearing a dark green dress, black hair like a waterfall, wearing three heads and two ears of silver phoenix hairpins in the hair, earrings longan inlaid with gold and white jade pendants, bright teeth and bright eyes, slender waist and slender steps, straight to the demeanor of sinking fish and falling geese, I don't know which lady is beautiful.

The woman who quarreled with her, but she was dressed in a cyan monk's robe, wearing a monk's hat, not vulgar powder, wearing a monk's robe but still beautiful and amazing, listening to the words of the two seem to be sisters, at this time, the green woman felt everyone's eyes, her face sank, and said, "Tantra has always only accepted male disciples, where is there a reason to accept female dependents, you go home with me quickly, don't be embarrassed here." ”

Hearing this, the woman in the monk's robe was even more imposing, and said, "Daddy doesn't often boast about how majestic he is, but now he can't even solve the problem of his daughter's apprenticeship, and he is complacent one day, even if he can't kneel in front of the Daxiong Hall today, I ask the abbot to agree." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, the abbot is a master of the Tao, how can he allow you to be so nonsense, don't say that the beginner disciple, even the lay disciple, it is absolutely impossible, so in the Buddha Gate to mess around, what kind of system. ”

Hearing this, the woman in the monk's robe actually wore pear blossoms on her face, and cried loudly as if no one was around, and the green woman had no choice for a while, so she could only let the woman's cry spread all over the mountains, attracting more and more people, as if she had long expected her sister to be like this, and the older woman had no words of comfort, and waited quietly to watch.

Qiu Xin saw the scene under the mountain, and secretly laughed in his heart, although the woman in the monk's clothes is beautiful, but this character, it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the word arrogant, on the other hand, her sister, her speech and demeanor are very outstanding, quite educated, just on the mountain pilgrims are ready to speak to dissuade knowledge, from the crowd out of a small novice, hands together, said slowly, "The abbot heard that the girl of the Ling family went up the mountain, and sent the little monk to come, and asked the donor not to cry, go up the mountain with the little monk." ”

When the woman in the monk's robe heard the little monk say this, her face immediately changed color, and while wiping away her tears, she said, "This little master, is the abbot master finally willing to accept me?"

"This little monk doesn't know, the abbot only told me to take the donor up, so what's the matter, the donor himself asked to know. After saying that, he led the two women up the mountain.

The pilgrims gathered at the foot of the mountain gradually dispersed, and Qiu Xin also turned around and said, "Xiaobai, let's go up the mountain too." ”

There are a thousand and one stone steps on the mountain, three pieces of each step, all are paved with diamond rock, it is rumored that this diamond rock is the dervish from generation to generation of ascetics from the fossil mountain back to this place, carefully carve the Mahayana Buddhism on the top, to this day, the scriptures engraved on the rock have long been invisible, but split the mountain to open the way, copy the scriptures and recite the Buddha, it is really a great merit.

The pilgrims I saw along the way all bowed down slowly, with a pious look on their faces, and even worse, they took two steps and bowed, and three steps and one knock.

After walking the last stone steps, it was already noon, although Qiu Xin was full of martial arts, but also felt very laborious, and he couldn't help but praise the people who paved the road and the pilgrims who knelt down to worship the mountain as great perseverance.

At this time, look up and see the red wall courtyard of the temple, write two golden characters on the plaque of the courtyard gate, Sumeru, vigorous and powerful, like Mount Meru to bring people a sense of awe, the autumn heart stays for a while, then with the flow of people into the courtyard, into the eyes is the courtyard in the middle of the quaint big ding, the tripod is full of incense ash, bursts of purple smoke emanate from the incense, the courtyard of the big is full of strange fragrance.

The courtyard covers an area of more than ten acres, hundreds of pilgrims walk in it without feeling crowded, facing this temple gate is the Daxiong Treasure Palace, although outside the temple gate, but the tall Buddha golden body shines a dazzling light through the hall out, and on both sides sit the two halls of the Pure Land Hall of the Pure Land Hall of the Bright Palace, the three halls are very majestic, the vermilion wall is matched with glazed tiles, it is more grandiose, the mutual arch guards, people do not feel that they want to kneel and worship the chief, even the usually naughty Xiaobai, at this time also obediently followed behind Qiu Xin.

Walk along the brick road all the way into the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Buddha's golden body wants to be as high as the roof, the face is peaceful, people are both awe-inspiring and very comfortable, the autumn heart to the incense monk to come to three incense, kneeling on the futon, accompanied by bursts of wooden fish and chanting sounds, the heart silently recited, if the Buddha really has a spirit, I wish to bless the autumn heart to reach Mount Tai smoothly, in order to fulfill the wish, and then bow to the Buddha's golden body three times, and then get up and walk out of the temple door, the three incense sticks are inserted in the incense tripod.

Turning around and glancing at the tall hall, Qiu Xin stepped forward to leave.

"Master Abbot, if you don't agree, Zhiqin will not be able to kneel here. ”

"Miss Ling, it's not that the old monk doesn't want to accept you, it's just that he was forced to violate the precepts, and as the head of a sect, the old monk was able to disobey it. ”

But it was the voice of a woman in front of the temple of light, although the sound was not loud, but it was very harsh in the quiet temple, Qiu Xin raised his eyes and looked, it was no one else, it was the woman in monk clothes at the foot of the mountain, Qiu Xin thought, this woman is really rude and willful, and she really made trouble with the abbot.

The green woman beside him was pulling her robe and motioning her to get up, but the man was indifferent, just looked at the abbot with tears on his face, and the abbot in front of him was dressed in an earthy yellow monk's robe, his eyebrows and beards were white, and his eyebrows were kind, and his lips moved slightly, and his right hand turned a string of Buddhist beads, but he had already settled.

The old monk and the green woman really had nothing to do with her, so they kept kneeling, and when they saw that the abbot ignored them, she said loudly to the pilgrims who were watching the excitement, "What do you see, haven't you seen Sapo?" and everyone was speechless for a while, and they all cast disdainful glances, and then walked away.

I don't know how long it took, but it was a stalemate, and finally, the disciples behind the abbot couldn't help it.

"Miss Ling, my master said, he won't accept you, even if your Ling family has a great relationship with my tantric sect, you can't ruin the thousand-year-old rules for you, you are messing around here, but you have lost the face of Ling Jushi and disturbed the tranquility of Buddhism, Master and his old man can bear it, but I can't bear it. After saying that, he stepped forward to force her up.

"Enshi, don't be rude, you go and prepare a meal for Miss Ling first, and when she is tired of kneeling, she will get up. ”

"Master, how can you indulge her so much, as it is today, and it will be like this in the future. ”

"Ling family girl, the old man never accepts female disciples, it is useless for you to kneel here, if you like Buddhism, you can often come to the mountain to listen to the scriptures and chant the Buddha, it's not too early, or get up quickly, and go down the mountain after fasting." ”

"The abbot lied, you obviously accepted a female disciple......" Before she finished speaking, the green woman's face behind her changed greatly, and she hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, but it was too late, and the words had already come out, and the young monk looked at the woman on the ground with an angry face, but did not speak.

"Master Abbot, Zhiqin, she is just talking nonsense for a while, don't listen to her......"

"Enshi, send off guests for the teacher. With that, he turned around and walked into the Hall of Light.

"Master Abbot, Zhiqin didn't mean to ......", before she finished speaking, the abbot was gone.

The woman in the monk's robe never expected the abbot to be so angry, and suddenly tears burst out of her eyes, looking at her sister helplessly, at this time the monk named Enshi said, "Miss Ling, the master has not accepted female disciples, you are talking nonsense, you have ruined the reputation of the Buddhist family, it is late today, the two donors can stay on the mountain for one night, go down the mountain tomorrow morning, and don't worry about the matter of accepting apprentices." Then he left.

At this time, I only heard the woman crying, "I obviously heard my father say that the abbot had accepted a female disciple, but why didn't he admit it." ”

"Sister, don't mention this matter again, I'm afraid my father won't be able to protect you then. Alright, you get up. With that, the green woman helped her and left.

Looking at the figures of the two of them, Qiu Xin realized that there were not many people in the courtyard at this time, and patted her forehead and said, "Oops, I just care about watching the excitement, I forget the time, I'm afraid I will have to spend the night on the mountain." After speaking, he took Xiaobai and walked into the Hall of Light.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and the sunset was full of sky, drifting towards Mount Meru.
