"Uncle Abbot, have you ever seen me kill and grill fish with your own eyes?" Jiang Liu'er looked humble.

"The elder of the temple said to me that he did not speak. Elder Fajing said.

"Oh, then Uncle Jian Temple saw me kill and grill fish with his own eyes?" Jiang Liu'er looked at Fa Jue, the elder of the Jian Temple, with blazing eyes.

Elder Fajue said angrily: "Tell the abbot senior brother, Xuanwen, a disciple of the Transformation Hall, saw Jiang Liu'er kill fish and grill fish with his own eyes. The three disciples Xuankong Xuanming and Xuanzhen came to tell me that I rushed to the bamboo forest and saw Jiang Liu'er eating grilled fish with my own eyes. ”

"Uncle Abbot, you only saw me eating fish with your own eyes, but you didn't see me killing fish and grilling fish, didn't you?" Jiang Liu'er said lightly.

Elder Fajue shouted: "Jiang Liu'er, even if you eat fish, you have also violated the precepts, and the precepts hall stick monk-"

"Yes!" the Twelve Stick Monks agreed.

"Give me a hundred sticks to beat Jiang Liu'er and drive him out of Jinshan Temple. ”

"Slow!" Elder Fa Jing said slowly, "Jiang Liu'er, you only admit to eating grilled fish, and you don't admit the sin of killing and grilling fish?"

"Uncle Abbot, I didn't kill fish, I didn't grill fish, such a cruel thing, even if I was beaten to death, I wouldn't do it. "Jiang Liu'er's mouth is like a hanging river," the monk is compassionate, in the face of the fish donor, how can he go down to kill him, killing him is already too much, and you have to roast him, I believe that all disciples with a Buddha heart can't do it at all. ”

"But Xuanwen said that he saw you kill and grill fish with his own eyes—" Abbot Elder Fa Jing's tone intensified.

"Uncle Abbot, I ask to confront Senior Brother Xuanwen, the Buddha is above, Uncle Abbot and Uncle Jian Temple are witnesses, Senior Brother Xuanwen either saw the wrong person, or he wronged me. I have eaten grilled fish, but I have never killed fish and grilled fish. I went to the bamboo forest to participate in Zen, but I met a grilled fish donor. ”

Elder Fajing glanced at Fa Jue, he had always favored Jiang Liu'er, and this time was no exception, and said, "Disciple Xuanwen!"

At the door of the Discipline Hall, Xuanwen Xuankong Xuanming Xuanzhen was waiting, and as soon as the stick monks of the Discipline Hall sent a message, they had ghosts in their hearts, and the four of them were panicked. Xuanwen walked into the precept hall with a hard head, the precept hall was majestic, the Buddha was high, the treasure was solemn and majestic, and the eyes made of gems flowed brightly, seeing through all the illusions in the world. The eighteen Arhats on both sides are fierce and majestic, and they cannot be deceived.

Xuanwen didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of Elder Fajue and Elder Fajing.

"Xuanwen, raise your head and look at me!" Elder Fajing, who was very kind to Jiang Liu'er, suddenly became very cold and majestic when he faced Xuanwen.

Xuanwen looked up, his gaze dodging.

"Xuanwen, did you see Jiang Liu'er killing fish and grilling fish with your own eyes?"

Xuanwen was speechless and speechless.

"Discipline monk, give me a hard beating for this unscrupulous disciple who tells lies. Elder Fajing was furious.

"Yes!" the precept monk agreed.

"Slow!" Elder Fajue's face changed, he drank the stick monk, and said to Xuanwen, "Xuanwen, tell me the truth you saw, if there is half a lie, I will beat you out of Jinshan Temple." ”

Xuanwen's last luck completely collapsed, and he trembled and said: "Uncle Shi, I saw Jiang Liu'er eating grilled fish, and there was no one else around, therefore, therefore, so the disciple deduced, if he didn't kill him and roast this fish, who else could there be?"

"So, you didn't see it with your own eyes?"

"Yes, Uncle Shi, I didn't see it with my own eyes, I am reasonably inferred!" Xuan Wen kowtowed.

"Extrapolation?"

"Yes, Uncle Shi. Usually, Jiang Liuer does not recite sutras, does not meditate, does not participate in Zen, and even speaks without saying anything and does not worship the Buddha. Huayuan also cheated and played tricks, but he got a lot of favoritism from Elder Fa Ming. I had a grudge against him in my heart, so when I saw him stealing grilled fish, I told my uncle that I had seen him kill fish and grill fish, but I wanted him to get the Buddha's enlightenment and realize that he would get lost. ”

"Senior Brother Xuanwen, you admit that you didn't see me kill and grill fish with your own eyes, don't you?" Jiang Liu'er said with a smile.

Xuanwen was afraid of Fajing Fajue, but he was not afraid of Jiang Liu'er, and said coldly at the moment: "Yes, Jiang Liu'er, I didn't see you kill fish and roast fish with my own eyes, I scolded, and I was willing to be punished, but you stole the grilled fish, I and Xuankong Xuanming Xuanzhen and Uncle Jian Temple all saw it with their own eyes, do you dare not admit it?"

"I admit I ate grilled fish. Jiang Liuer was calm.

Told the two uncles that Jiang Liuer admitted that he had eaten grilled fish secretly, but he looked free and unrepentant, so he asked the two uncles to make a clear decision. I snorted and willingly accepted the harshest punishment of the Discipline Hall. Xuanwen lowered his head and glanced at Jiang Liu'er, with ruthlessness in his eyes. He is willing to accept the most severe punishment, so in the same way, Jiang Liuer will not escape the heaviest punishment. Stealing fish and meat is much more culpable.

"Senior brother abbot, Xuanwen saw Jiang Liu'er hiding alone in the bamboo forest eating fish, thinking that this fish was killed by Jiang Liu'er It is also human nature, please ask the abbot to enforce the law impartially. Fa Jue said earnestly.

Fa Jing said: "Xuanwen, you have made a, but you are not a lie, there are extenuating circumstances, you are beaten with ten sticks as a punishment, can you be convinced?"

"Convincing!" Xuanwen said.

So, the precept hall stick monk stepped forward, took Xuanwen, ten sticks down, there was a sound, ten sticks were beaten, Xuanwen was no longer able to get up and walk, and was put into the monk's room by the monk to see the stick wound.

"Jiang Liu'er, do you admit to killing fish and grilling fish?" Fa Jing's tone became kind, which made Fa Jue and the monks of the Discipline Hall very uncomfortable.

"Uncle Abbot, I didn't kill fish and grill fish, I just met occasionally with the grilled fish donor, everything is fate. Jiang Liuer said with a smile.

"Bold Jiang Liu'er, dare to laugh in the precept hall, you steal grilled fish I saw with my own eyes, even if this fish is not killed by you, but it will not escape punishment, precept monk, punish Jiang Liu'er with a hundred sticks. ”

"Roar!" The monks of the Discipline Hall had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and they all raised their sticks and rushed up to beat Jiang Liu'er.

"Slow, I haven't broken the precepts, and the Buddha doesn't dare to hit me!" Jiang Liu'er stood up, King Kong looked angry, like a lion and a Buddha. He has been practicing hard with Fa Ming for more than ten years, and he is tall and tall.

The monks of the precepts are all a meal!

"Jiang Liu'er, as soon as you admit that you have eaten fish and meat, you have to be punished, you are a lay disciple, and you are a first-time offender, you will be punished with thirty sticks, can you be convinced?" said the abbot Elder Fajing slowly.

"Uncle Abbot, Uncle Supervisor of the Temple, I ate three pure meat, and I didn't break the precepts. The Buddha's Vinaya Sutra says: There are three kinds of meat to eat and three not to eat, and the Buddha allowed the monks to eat the three pure meats, and the grilled fish I ate was one of the three pure meats, so you can't punish me. Jiang Liu'er said unhurriedly.

"What are the three pure meats? You are so young, you are talking nonsense, senior brother, if you want to favor Jiang Liu'er again, all the monks of our Discipline Hall, as well as me, will have to leave Jinshan Temple!" Elder Fajue said in a deep voice.

"I implore the abbot to order Jiang Liu'er to be severely punished!" the monks said in a deep voice.
