Chapter 18 Buddha Flower
Huayan Temple, inside the lobby.
Li Gongtan, the patriarch of the Li Mansion, sat on the first seat on the left, with Li Minghao, Li Hongfu and Zhou Tong standing behind him, and Xiang Lingxuan, the head of the Xiang family, standing behind him. Xiang Ling Xuan is in his fifties, and he has cultivated in the Great Perfection of the Refining Realm, and his qualifications are average, but he has a son and a daughter who are very good. The eldest son, Xiang Yuheng, is only twenty years old, and he is already a true cultivator in the junior stage, and the eldest daughter Xiang Yucheng is seventeen years old, and she has also entered the refining realm this year. And in the second seat on the left, sitting is Bai Hao, the patriarch of the White Mansion. Bai Hao is also a cultivator of the Great Perfection of the Refining Realm, he is in his sixties, a little fat, and because he came late, he sat in the second seat, and his mood was a little depressed. Behind him stood the seventeenth son, Bai Wuchen, and the ninth woman, Bai Wuwu, both of whom were early stage true cultivators.
Sitting on the main seat is Master Zhitong, who is the seventh disciple of Master Hongxuan, the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Guru, who usually stays in Huayan Temple with Zhiren to practice, but it is also easy not to leave the temple. It's just that this time is different, the heads of the three major forces of the county are here, and it is a little contemptuous to let Zhiren come to receive them. Master Zhitong chatted with a few people, and bursts of laughter came from time to time in the lobby, as if a group of old friends were chatting about their parents.
It didn't take long for Zhi Ren to come down from the back mountain, and his steps came unhurriedly, and Li Gongtan, Bai Hao, and Xiang Ling Xuan saw it and then stirred up the abacus in their hearts.
Master Zhitong smiled, he naturally knew why these people came, before this he also appeared to receive a few people, although they were all for the master to refuse, but it is also more familiar, and then said: "The poor monk this little junior brother has been with the family teacher all the year round, but his bearing is becoming more and more calm, I think it was a ............ back then" laughed without finishing speaking, and several people listened, and couldn't help but think of the reckless character of Zhiren a few years ago, and they all smiled.
Li Hongfu was upset, and Bai Wuchen had been staring at her with great affection, as if she could eat people. At this time, after listening to Zhitong's words, Hongfu also looked at it, and was suddenly shocked, and said secretly: "How is this monk? How is this good, he chased me for a whole day, how can he give up?" Xiang Ling Xuan doesn't have to worry, I'm afraid that it will ruin the clan's plan, how can it be ......good?"
Hongfu was planning in her heart, but Zhiren had already entered the lobby, who knew that Zhiren seemed to not know her, and when she greeted Li Gongtan, she only greeted her seriously, just like the two of them who met for the first time. Hongfu was surprised in her heart, and at this time she heard Zhi Ren say: "Female donor, I don't know if Wu Gongzi's health is okay?"
Li Gongtan was secretly happy in his heart, and what Zhou Tong said was true. Xiang Ling Xuan had also heard from his daughter about this before, but he didn't believe it at the time, and he couldn't help but feel apprehensive at this time. It is really a big deal, it is related to the honor and disgrace of a family, and he cannot be careless. And although Bai Hao was not present yesterday, he also learned a little about it through some channel, and knew that there was a Wu Gongzi who defected to the Li Mansion who was quite valued by Master Hongxuan, and his face changed slightly at the moment.
And Zhou Tong's heart gossiped again, "This sentence should be asked to me, the eldest lady was not present yesterday." By the way, Zhiren said that he had a relationship with Wu Gongzi before, could it be that the eldest lady was also there at that time?"
Hongfu looked at Zhiren with a strange face, and said in her heart, what kind of stupidity is this monk pretending, besides, you asked the wrong person about Wu Xu's body, right? Hongfu was already tired of the crooked old lady matching Wu Xu's affairs for her, and she was even more unhappy at this time, and replied coldly: "I don't know." ”
Zhou Tong hurriedly came out to play a round and said: "With Master Lao's concern, Wu Gongzi has gotten much better, but he still has to recuperate for a while, and it may take some time before he can visit Master Hongxuan, and I hope that Master Lao will convey it on his behalf." ”
Zhi Ren smiled and said: "Since this is the case, the little monk must convey it." ”
Li Gongtan was even more overjoyed when he heard this, he caught a glimpse of Xiang Ling Xuan and Bai Hao's calm expressions, and his heart was full of joy, and he directly praised Zhou Tong for his ability to speak, and secretly changed his concept for his cleverness, and he secretly replaced Zhiren with Master Hongxuan. If outsiders don't think about it carefully, they think that Master Hongxuan cares about Wu Xu's body. And it was not only this that made Xiang Ling Xuan and Bai Hao's hearts vibrate, but Zhiren's non-denial, or even acquiescence, this is worth pondering.
Although Master Zhitong doesn't often go out of the Zen monastery, he also knows the twists and turns in it, and immediately smiled and said, "Senior brother, what does Master say about his old man?"
Everyone hurriedly put down their minds and listened attentively, and at this time, Zhiren said solemnly: "The three family heads came this time, and they had a lot to do with it, but the family teacher said: 'If you don't enter the red dust, it's better not to see.'" 'Look at the three seamen. ”
Although it was a polite answer, there was only a trace of loss on the faces of the three family heads, presumably because they had already expected the result, and were even ready to fight a protracted battle.
Having said that, the three heads of the family could not stay any longer, so they immediately refused to be retained by Master Zhitong, and agreed to come back to see each other another day, and each went home.
Zhitong and Zhiren were sent outside the temple, and the pilgrims in the temple had seen the three family masters, and they couldn't help but make a commotion. After walking back to the back mountain, Zhitong asked Zhiren, "Did Master Wu really let that Wu Shizhu be a guest?"
Zhi Ren didn't answer directly, but said very excitedly: "Senior brother, Master just said to me in person, there is an ancient temple in the Southern Bliss Buddha Country!"
"What!" Zhitong was taken aback, "Youtanhua? Legend has it that this flower Lingrui came out with the Buddha, could it be that the Buddha was born and lived in the world!"
Zhiren said solemnly: "The scriptures say so, but this matter is a bit weird. ”
"What do you say?" Zhitong was still immersed in shock.
Zhi Ren said: "Master said that the Euepiphany of the Buddha Kingdom of Bliss appeared fourteen years ago, but the news has only recently come out, and it ......" Speaking of this, Zhi Ren was even a little fanatical: "And Master also said that our Huayan Temple also appeared in Youtanhua, just six years ago!"
Zhitong felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his head was buzzing when he was hit by this sentence, and he said for a long time: "There have been Youtan flowers in Huayan Temple! No wonder Master brought us here six years ago, but how is this possible? How can it be that there are two Buddhas living in the world at the same time! Senior brother, are you joking?"
Zhi Ren smiled bitterly and said: "How dare I say anything? It's weird here, and the master also said that maybe it's not just these two time and space points that have appeared in the Epiphany, or even thousands of time and space points, so it's terrifying." ”
"Tens of thousands," Zhitong muttered, "That's thousands of Buddhas!
Zhiren was silent in thought, his reaction at the beginning was exactly the same as Zhitong, or even more intense, but this matter completely overturned his previous concepts. The Buddha's life and life are shocking enough, not to mention that there are still thousands of Buddhas, he was originally killed and did not believe it, but what the master said was very serious, and even took out an extremely special Youtan flower in the end, so he couldn't believe it.
"I'm going up the mountain to find Master. Zhitong said suddenly, ignoring Zhiren anymore, and ran towards the mountain like a fly.
Zhi Ren looked at him in the distance, turned his head to look somewhere, and said in a low voice: "Wu Xu, Wu Xu, Master said that you are not the body of a Buddha and have no relationship with the Buddha, but you can't see through your past and present lives. Who the hell are you? I can't even see through Master's unique supernatural powers. ”
Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Zhiren turned around and walked towards the meditation room.
