Chapter 12 Punishment and Exploration of the Buddha
The shadow of the moon is swaying, and the pine waves are bursting. In the Qingfeng Temple of Jinping Mountain, Baishi Daoist had dinner and gave incense to the Sanqing Patriarch. Let the boy cook a pot of tea, taste tea and admire the moon in the courtyard.
In the past two days, he has made a small fortune, purchased two new Taoist robes for himself, and added some use to the Taoist temple. Well, in the past two years, you have to worry about food and clothing, and enjoy this good moonlight. The head of the white stone road drank fragrant tea and looked at the sky, which was very pleasant.
Just shook his head and chanted: The breeze sends the sound of the waves, and the bright moon opens the cloud river.
I heard someone outside the Taoist temple say aloud: "In the mortal world, the immortals are happy alone." ”
Isn't that talking about me?
Hurriedly invited: "The night is deep in the mountains, where is the gentleman coming." Why not drink a cup of tea under the moon to send poetry. Please, please. ”
As he spoke, he urged Dao Tong to open the door, and he also stepped forward in full clothes.
Outside the mountain gate, there stood a young scribe in a green robe. The white cheeks were smooth and clear in the moonlight, and the robe blown by the breeze looked like a fairy. Behind him was a scholar dressed in a fine costume, looking at him with a smile.
The chief of Baishi Dao made a bow again and again: "The son travels to the mountain on a moonlit night, and he is so good! If you don't think the mountain dwelling is simple, please enter the temple to taste the tea and poetry, okay?"
The people who came were naturally Li He and Lu Hualong.
After dinner, he took Lu Hualong and said to his family: "I want to go hunting in the mountains, don't wait for me." You can rest first. ”
Mrs. Zheng and Da Lang and his wife were unimpressed, and a few nights ago, Erlang entered the mountain every night. Last night, because of the eldest sister's business, it was interrupted once. If I go again tonight, my family will not be surprised. Only Li Changyi was puzzled.
Just as he was about to persuade him, he heard his mother say, "Go! Come back early, don't be greedy." ”
In Li Changyi's surprise, Li He took Lu Hualong out of the house.
Out of the village, Li He was attached to Lu Hualong's back. There was wind under Lu Hualong's feet, and he immediately came to the breeze view of Jinping Mountain.
Li He saw that the Baishi Daoist was invited, and strode towards the Taoist temple.
Daoist Baishi was stunned for a moment: This person is elegant and good, how can he be so rude. Aren't all today's young talents like this?
Daoist Shiraishi felt a slight regret in his heart, and secretly shook his head. As the guests come in.
"Who is enshrined in Guishan Gate?" asked Li He in front.
I am a Taoist temple, who else can I worship? Is it ignorance, or is it pretending to be confused? Is it unbearable to blaspheme my Taoist ancestor in this way. The white stone road chief immediately cooled his voice.
"I am a Taoist immortal ancestor, and the three Qing ancestors are all worshipped. Taoism in the world is like this. Childe doesn't know what to do?"
In the main hall of the Taoist temple, the candles are lit up. The patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasty is high in the hall. Li He pointed to the statue of Yuan Shi Tianzun in the center.
said with a smile: "Yuqing opened the world, Shangqing has tribulated people, and Taiqing preached and taught the law." They are all great characters of the immortal family. I, Li He, am lonely and unheard, and I know a little bit about it. When I visited tonight, I wanted to know which patriarch the Daoist was worshipping in his heart. ”
It turns out that he knows the Tao very clearly! Just now, he was pretending.
Baishi Dao slandered, but said: "The old Taoist qualifications are reckless, and the Sanqing Patriarch is admired in his heart." There is no such thing as a priority. ”
Li He looked at Baishi Dao for a while, and sighed: "A fleshy mortal, even if you cultivate the Tao wholeheartedly, it is also a mirror. How much more is your heart tainted with worldly thoughts, and you have turned your back on your conscience for personal gain. Even if you put on your Taoist robe, how different are you from the people in the red dust? The disciples under the Sanqing seat are so decadent, these old guys should smile bitterly. ”
Baishi Dao was furious: "The old Taoist sincerely invited, and the son actually made a lot of nonsense in front of my Taoist ancestor. But what do scholars do? That's what Confucian disciples do?"
Li He said coldly: "I wronged you, can't you? What you did in Yizhou may be understood by the honorific position of your Taoist ancestor." ”
What did he know what to say? Under Li He's delicate eyes, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Qiang defended himself: "Although the monks are broad-minded, they don't care about the world. But they also have to dress and eat, and offer Taoist incense. Lao Tao adheres to the ancestral teachings of Taoism, divination for people, and benefits one party. What's wrong with being self-reliant?"
Li He Senran said: "Buddhism pays attention to goodness, and Taoism pays attention to fate. With one mind, all evil and good are promoted, and the four directions are broadened. What you did in Yizhou almost drove a virtuous woman into a corner. Taoist immortal fate and good thoughts, how many points do you still have in your stomach?"
Baishi Daoist suddenly turned pale, and said tremblingly: "I was the wife of the Cheng family a few days ago, and it is true that I have approved the eight characters. But the woman did violate her fate, and the old way was telling the truth. Even if he has no intention of hurting people, he is worthy of my Taoist ancestor. ”
"Shameless? Let's wear this new robe!"
Li He sneered: "Fortune tellers, when they encounter a sinister fate, they still know the way to solve it. It's just a matter of charging a few more dollars to satisfy your stomach. And after you received ten taels of silver from the Cheng family, what did you do for that woman? Knowing that the Cheng family had evil intentions, you, as a monk, actually aided in the abuse. Sheng Sheng pushed the woman into a desperate situation. How dare you say you're worthy?"
Li He's words were like swords, axes, and halberds, rushing so that the Baishi Dao Chief was irresistible, and he collapsed to the ground all of a sudden.
He muttered, "What I'm going to say!" They don't listen, what can I do. Inaction, inaction... I didn't violate the teachings. ”
Li Heha said with a smile: "What a Wuwei, Taiqing, look at the good disciples you taught." Doing nothing is only for personal pleasure, no matter what other people's hearts are suffering. Taoism's seeking and cultivating immortals is nothing more than that. ”
The Sanqing statue in the main hall was shaken by Li He's laughter. After laughing, Li He looked at Daoist Shiraishi again.
After half a sound, he said coldly: "I don't have the good thoughts of a monk, but I am wearing a robe." So I shut your tongue today, so that you may not do any more harm in the future. ”
As he spoke, his eyes shot immediately, and two rays of light fell on the mouth of the Baishi Dao Chief, and then retracted into his eyes.
Baishi Dao was shocked, and he hurriedly got up and wanted to beg, but what a problem... Ahh
Li He turned around and walked out of the hall, and Lu Hualong behind him kicked at the Baishi Dao Chief, who was rolling and climbing. Suddenly kicked the Baishi Dao chief under the statue of the ancestor of the Shangqing Dynasty, and suddenly did not know whether he was alive or dead.
Lu Hualong took a sip and scolded: "You deserve it, unscrupulous old way." He smiled and followed Li He out of the Taoist temple.
Several Dao Tong hurriedly grabbed to help the unconscious master, but they didn't pay attention to a void figure in the courtyard, and sighed slightly at the busy hall. In the blink of an eye, Dao Tong disappeared into the night.
Lu Hualong, who was running on the mountain road, did not forget to smile with Li Heyan on his body.
"You're too cheap, that old man. If you follow me, you will swallow things in one gulp. He's not going to be dumb, is he?"
Li He, who was attached to Lu Hualong's back, said with a smile: "It depends on his Taoist immortal leader, whether he is willing to help him." At that time, this old way did have the heart to remind. It's just that I coveted that bit of silver later, so I didn't insist anymore. It is enough to teach him a lesson, not to be wiped out. ”
As the two spoke, they crossed two hills in the blink of an eye. In the empty mountain in the middle of the night, the moonlight is bright. In the mountains to the south, the sound of bells and chimes can be faintly heard. I think it's the Jinshan Temple, which is located on the same mountain as the Seifuguan.
Lu Hualong has an innate fear of the temple, and his steps are naturally going in the opposite direction. Li He, who was in a good mood, didn't know Lu Hualong's psychology.
He smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? There is an old monk in the temple over there, and he was half angry with me a few days ago!"
"You borrowed my Neidan just to save the monk?"
Hearing Li He's smile and silence, Lu Hualong became excited. He has been famous for Jinshan Temple for a long time, but he never dares to approach it. Although I have the heart to take a look, there are many Bodhisattva Arhats enshrined in the temple, and the Buddha is very angry, and he can be given this unformed little demon from afar. Tonight, accompanied by Li He, he is bold.
He begged, "I was able to get a human form thanks to that monk." You take me to meet him, and let me thank him in person. ”
"What are you saying thank you, you want to see the Dharma body of the Buddhist Bodhisattva Arhat, right?"
Li He immediately pierced Lu Hualong's thoughts. Lu Hualong, who had a thick face, simply stopped pretentious, and stopped and begged.
Li Henan couldn't stop his noise, and scolded with a smile: "The foot is on you, if you want to go, just go! Remember not to show your true colors in front of the monk, just look at it from a distance." ”
Zen Master Jingyuan was meditating at this time. Seeing that the night was dark, the little novice who was standing on the side persuaded, "Master, it is already in the middle of the moon. You've just recovered, so rest early!"
Zen Master Jingyuan paused and put down the wooden fish in his hand. He took the tea he brought and took a few sips.
Covering his chest, he said strangely: "Amitabha, I didn't expect Li Changji's medical skills to be so exquisite." Since being healed by him, not only is he no longer dizzy, but he has also been cured of his chest pain. My Buddha is compassionate, if it wasn't for my good thoughts that day, how could I have this opportunity. Good, good. ”
Xiao Shami was also overjoyed, and said happily: "Master, that Li Xiucai's medical skills are really good. After you relapsed and fell down from your old illness that day, Li Xiucai took three or two strokes to stabilize your condition. One dose of medicine and you're all right. I have to thank him. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Shami took a stick of incense and was about to pray for Li He. Zen Master Jingyuan was afraid that it would be handled by others, and his intentions were insincere. Hurriedly took it. After the incense, he bowed with his palms together several times.
In the blink of an eye, he suddenly noticed that the festive Arhat beside the Fuxian Bodhisattva was smiling reluctantly.
Qi said: "What's wrong with the festive Arhat? Look at his expression, he looks like he's sick." ”
Xiao Shami hurriedly looked up, and before he could reply, he heard someone outside the hall say aloud: "The master's vision is still as sharp as ever. The festive Arhat can't laugh, but it's not sick. ”
Zen Master Jingyuan was shocked and hurriedly turned around and saluted.
"Amitabha, sincere people, Lao Gu understands the meaning of this sentence today. Just put incense on Changji. You're visiting late at night. But this is not the fulfillment of this sentence. ”
Although he said this, he secretly wondered in his heart. How did he get in? Why didn't he see the monk at the gate.
Li He smiled: "Changji doesn't want to live up to the good night. Walk through the mountains and enjoy the moonlight. When I approached your temple, I was worried about the master's condition, so I made a detour to come for a follow-up. ”
Zen Master Jingyuan praised him again and again, and while he was grateful, he also stretched out his left hand and asked Li He to take the pulse. After a while, Li He let go of Zen Master Jingyuan's pulse.
He smiled: "Congratulations master, your body is fine." Just light less incense in the future, and when you go to sleep, the room is as ventilated as possible. Your illness is all caused by this scent. ”
Isn't it sincere to let the monk not go to incense? Zen Master Jingyuan had the heart to defend a few words, but in the face of his benefactor, it was difficult to say anything that ruined the fun. Only Nono said yes.
Xiao Shami brought tea, Li He took a few sips, glanced at the group of Buddha statues in the main hall, smiled slightly, and immediately got up to say goodbye.
Seeing that the night was quiet in the mountains, Zen Master Jingyuan persuaded him to stay overnight, but he was also dismissed by Li He. Helpless, he personally sent him out of the mountain gate.
Bidding farewell to Zen Master Jingyuan, Li He attached Lu Hualong and didn't go far. I heard someone in the air say: "Li Jushi, the Tao is different, and we don't conspire with each other." Why do you bother to care about the affairs of my Buddhist family? ”
