Chapter 8 People Always Change
However, the presiding abbot really didn't have time to pay attention to the slip of the tongue at this time, and recited the "Amitabha Buddha" silently in his heart a few times, so he should make up for the evil mistakes, and the words turned around, and the presiding abbot continued: "It's not that I don't choose you, but, when the host is required, in addition to being proficient in all the Buddhist scriptures of the temple, you must also have a high level of martial arts cultivation and the character to be able to convince the public, and there must be admirable deeds, in addition, you must also know how to behave in the world, so that you can be elected as the presiding abbot." ”
"That's it! so many requests, it's not difficult," the little ghost heard the host say this, although he did not quit, but he pressed his confidence into the ground.
"How can I say this, it's really hard to say, if no one helps you, it's easy to say, if someone helps you" After the presiding abbot said this, he stopped, he was waiting, waiting for the little ghost to ask him for help.
Sure enough, after listening to the abbot of the host, the little ghost's tightly knit brows loosened slightly, and after thinking, the little ghost asked again: "Is it okay for someone to help?"
Hey, it seems that the fire is not enough, the little ghost is still small, maybe he doesn't realize it at all, there is such a big backer as him, so it seems that the fire should be added, the presiding abbot continued: "This is not necessarily, it depends on whether the ability and status of the person who helps you is high enough, and if the ability and status of the person who helps you are high enough, the greater your chance of success." ”
The presiding abbot continued, before he finished speaking, his heart was already happy, the bait had been thrown, and the rest was waiting for the fish to take the bait, beg me.
"So I understand, thank you to the abbot" The little ghost seems to have understood everything, knowing that he has a great chance of being the host, and he is in a good mood, not only thanking the abbot in a good way, but also learning the etiquette that the little monks usually perform when they see the abbot is also used, it seems that he has decided to be a little monk first, and then be his abbot.
The presiding abbot enjoyed the appearance of the little ghost head thanking him, and was proudly preparing to accept the little ghost's worship to him, who knows, the situation is a little wrong, there is something wrong, the presiding abbot thought about it carefully, and found that he did not say anything wrong, but what happened to the little ghost, how did he leave...... No, this procedure is completely wrong, not at all asymmetrical with what I think in my heart.
"Come back, you kid, do you want to go there?" The host saw that the little ghost was about to leave, so he had no choice but to call the person back by himself, and ask casually to see what was going on, how to say and leave, isn't there still something to do?
"I'll go to the old monk, let him help me, let me be the host" The little ghost head didn't pay attention to the words of the presiding abbot at all, and left without even turning his head, leaving only such a sentence, in his heart, the weight of the old bald head of Xianyin is the highest in the entire Kongming Temple, and the presiding abbot, with the old bald head in front, the little ghost head did not think of his weight at all.
"This ......" When the presiding abbot heard this, his head instantly became hot with anger, he didn't catch his breath, he couldn't say the words he just spoke, he was suddenly stuck in his throat, he couldn't spit out the words, he couldn't breathe in, the blood in his chest began to churn, and he almost vomited out......
The little ghost head himself didn't know how uncomfortable the presiding abbot was at the moment, and he was bent on finding the old bald head of Xianyin and starting his journey as the presiding abbot.
And the presiding abbot was so angry with the little ghost, seriously ill for three months, since then, on the contrary, a serious one, the understanding of Buddhism has been greatly improved, began to step into another threshold, less than five years, the choice of the presiding abbot has been imminent.
And in the past five years, the little ghost head has undergone earth-shaking changes, at the beginning, after he found the old bald head idle seal master, he opened his mouth and said that he wanted to be the abbot of Kongming Temple, this time the idle seal master was amused, this little kid is enlightened? No, when he saw this little kid for the first time, although he felt that he had a relationship with the Buddha, which might bring a new pattern to Kongming, but, judging from his face, this little kid obviously still has a big dust relationship, if he doesn't break his own dust edge, this little guy's renunciation is not a good thing for Kongming Temple, and it may even harm his life, so the old monk Xianyin did not name him, and let him be the demon king of the mixed world in Kongming Temple, where is the problem?
When the old monk Xianyin completely understood what happened, he knew that he had his own arrangements in the dark and understood the whole thing, and it was not difficult for the old monk to judge that it was his good apprentice who was now the abbot of Kongming Temple, the master of the Eight Treasures, fooled this little kid to become a monk, which made the old monk Xianyin very bitter, how did he accept such a foolish egg as an apprentice, can't you see that there are still many causes and effects in this child, and it is a good thing to have a relationship with the Buddha, but this does not mean that all people who are related to the Buddha should come to be monks, the cause and effect in the world have long been determined, and their current ability is unable to change the existing cause and effect, so the more there is a way of cultivation, The farther away from cause and effect, but as a result, Babao this bastard automatically jumped in, the old monk Xianyin had to smile bitterly, if he could do this, he would not have done it earlier, Xianyin for the patriarch had left a few words in the words, this world should not be so ordinary, but I don't know why, the world they are in now, become so ordinary, this child should be a key, can unlock all the keys promised, and the ancestor back then, but the old monk Xianyin can not say now, just because of the word cause and effect, but unfortunately he still took a wrong step, let Babao make his own claim, inserted a foot, bad big thing, but fortunatelyAlthough everything began not to go according to his wishes, there was one thing that was worth comforting, that is, what happened now, the patriarch saw it in his eyes, he believed that in the ancestral hall in the backyard, the dialogue between the mischievous little guy and the eight treasures, the patriarch should be clear, since the patriarch did not instruct, there must be a countermeasure, so although the old monk Xianyin was anxious, he still let this little guy develop by himself as always, and the future things, the current people can only try their best to do a good job, and it is enough not to let things develop in the worst direction.
Another five years have passed, that once naughty and mischievous, the little devil king seems to have become a quietly passing part in the history of the Kongming Temple, gone forever, at the beginning, when the little ghost head is no longer active in front of the monks, the entire Kongming Temple seems to have become unusually quiet, the monk seems to have an empty and lonely time, when the little ghost head is not in front of them, when the little ghost head is no longer carrying them behind their backs to secretly draw their sheets, in the dead of night, it seems that for a while, the monks covered the new quilt of the five major families, I don't know who started the head, everyone began to talk about the little ghost head, this little monk said that he looked at the temple that has been renovated, but the heart is not happy, the heart always seems to feel that the wall full of patterns is more flavorful; the one who said that he was always afraid that it would be his turn to take the little ghost, always worried that he would get into trouble, and bring disaster to himself, who knows, now he is not around him to make trouble, but his heart is always not a taste, sometimes, the ears still seem to echo the smug laughter after he secretly did it; in fact, I still have the quilt with the little devil's head painted with small characters, and a little monk continued; I also quietly kept the graffiti that the presiding abbot had seen. I didn't throw away the monk's robe printed with the ink mark on the palm of the little ghost's head, and I copied a new copy of the sutra that the little ghost head secretly tore off two pages, and I kept the book when I tore it off, and you are all fine, but I copied the Diamond Sutra fifteen times, but then I also realized a little bit because of this, but unfortunately the turtle painted on my head by the little ghost head was washed off by me......
That night, the little monks kept recalling the past, but no matter what they recalled, about the little ghost, whether good or bad, they were full of nostalgia, and what they didn't know was that there was a child passing by in front of their door, because they didn't know why, that day, not only the little monks missed the active little ghost, but the little ghost they missed actually missed them very much, and it happened that the presiding abbot happened to come to inspect, and the time of the last round can be recalled to ten years ago......
When the abbot of "Amitabha Buddha" suddenly pushed open the door of the little monks' rooms, he first pronounced a Buddhist saying, and then took the opportunity to discipline them: "The people of the world are ordained to escape the world, and the old man is to become a monk for enlightenment, what are you ordained for?" The Buddha said, all living beings are equal, everything in the world is ordinary, but why do you think of one, thinking hard about the past is still a great precept, this is anger, it is a taboo in my Buddhism, the little donor is not a change, but before you have realized the Tao, at this time you don't have to feel sorry for him, let alone be happy for him, but should practice harder, to keep up with the little donor, the cause and effect of this, I will not elaborate, remember that the four major monks are empty, if you always have the past in your heart, then can you pretend to be others? ”
The presiding abbot said solemnly that this time, he did not deliberately decorate his words, nor did he care whether others agreed with his words, and after three months of his serious illness, he had already attained enlightenment, entered the Dharma, and since then he has become closer to my Buddha, and the things that he deliberately created before do not need to be mentioned to him now.
The little monks who were once again taught by the presiding abbot, although they listened very heavy in their hearts, but I don't know why, they seemed to like the mood at the moment, and that feeling seemed to be back.
Of course, the little ghost head understands that they are talking about himself, and he also knows that in fact, everyone does not really dislike him, but he rejects his behavior, he doesn't want to go in, and tells these little monks that he also misses everyone, but he can't, because he promised the old bald head that he will practice martial arts well, eat fasting and chant Buddha, and first learn from the little monks he usually follows.
