The person who stole the Buddha treasure was Master Zhizhu? This makes no sense at all?

Master Zhizhu is the abbot of Fayan Temple, so there is no reason to do so.

Monk Yuanzhen said with a serious expression: "Real person, please be cautious! Why did the abbot take away the Buddha treasure? This Buddha treasure was originally held by the abbot. ”

Shenxiu also nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist, do you have any basis?"

Shi Zixuan said, "A few people, please come with me." ”

The monks entered the meditation room, and Shi Zixuan waved his sleeves on the corpse of Master Zhizhu, and saw that on the robe, the two words "fate" written in blood appeared in front of the monks.

"Fate...... Teacher, what do you mean by that?" Shenxiu muttered to herself.

Monk Yuanzhen frowned and said: "Real person, what does this mean? Maybe the abbot is dying, saying that he is just over the world. ”

Shizi Xuan said: "There are Buddhist treasures in the White Wild Goose Pagoda, which can prohibit all supernatural powers, so it is impossible for a practitioner to do it." The key to Master Shenxiu was not lost, and Master Zhizhu's key was also on him. It is only possible that Master Zhizhu himself took the Buddha treasure. ”

Monk Yuanzhen said, "Could someone have stolen the key from the abbot?"

Shi Zixuan shook his head and said: "With Master Zhizhu's cultivation, if someone has evil thoughts about him, he will immediately feel it, how can someone steal the key without noticing?"

The monks nodded, and Shi Zixuan said again: "Master Zhizhu left the word 'fate' before he died, with a look of relief on his face. I think this fate is not a good fate, it is probably a bad fate. ”

The monks looked at each other, and some monks couldn't believe it: "Real person, forgive me for being unreasonable." What kind of abbot is a person, all the monks know in their hearts, when they are a moral example for all monks, how can they form a bad relationship with others?"

Shi Zixuan said: "I know how Master Zhu is a person. I naturally know that. But the great monks may not have created karma. Sentient beings are born in the red earthly world, and they give birth to karmic fruits. If anyone dares to say that he is innocent and unemployed in his life, this person must be an alien Heavenly Demon!"

The red world is a big dye vat, and once you enter it, there is karma and karma, and no one can hide from it. It is true that Master Zhizhu is a great monk, but does he dare to say that he has not done anything wrong in his life?

When the monks heard this, they were silent. In my heart, I already agreed with Shi Zixuan's words.

Whoever talks about cause and effect does not shy away from cause and effect. Master Zhizhu left two words, fate, and passed away with a relieved smile, leaving many problems unsolved.

When the Buddha Treasure left the White Wild Goose Pagoda, who did he hand over the Buddha Treasure to? Was it the person who killed him? Who was that person? Should the Buddha Treasure be recovered?

This is the question before the monks. But the most important thing is that the abbot of Fayan Temple passed away, and there was no owner in the temple, which is logically speaking. The heir of the law should inherit the legal system, and the next abbot should be inherited by Shenxiu.

All the monks now have some careful thoughts in their hearts. Most monks still tend to be true monks. After all, he is the "orthodox" of Fayan Temple, and Shenxiu is just an outsider. Although these monks are all cultivators, their state of mind has not yet been perfected, and they are not yet able to be undiscriminating.

There are also some monks. Support Shenxiu, after all, he is the heir of Master Zhizhu, and he has also inherited the mantle of Fayan Temple. Among the monks of Fayan Temple, it is the first in Buddhism and the first in the scriptures.

The monks were silent, thinking differently, and suddenly one of the monks spoke bluntly: "The abbot is dead, and we are all equally saddened." However, the temple should not be left without an owner for a day, and who should inherit the legal system in the end? ”

The monks were silent, and the little monk couldn't help scratching his head and said: "Of course it's Senior Brother Shenxiu, he has profound Buddhism, and he is the abbot's personal heir, who else is he?"

The little monk Tong was unscrupulous, but he broke the minds of the monks.

Immediately, a young monk retorted: "Senior Brother Shenxiu's profound Buddhism is profound, and we all admire it, and we have also won the mantle of the abbot." But before his death, the abbot did not say in person that when he passed away, he would hand over the position of abbot to Senior Brother Shenxiu. And Senior Brother Yuanzhen also inherited the mantle of the master of consciousness, and he was also qualified to be the abbot. ”

Someone speaks, and someone agrees.

Monk Shenxiu was silent, let out a long sigh, and said: "I am immoral and incompetent, and I can't be the abbot, since all the senior brothers think that Senior Brother Yuanzhen should be the next abbot, I should support it." ”

What is Shenxiu doing? Are you disheartened? Or did he not have the will to inherit the legal system of Fayan Temple in his heart, and he couldn't let go of Hongren Temple back then?

Shi Zixuan guessed in his heart that he should have both kinds of thoughts.

When the monks who supported the Yuanzhen monk heard this, they couldn't help but be happy. But Monk Yuanzhen was not very happy, and said with a serious expression: "Senior Brother Shenxiu, what are you doing here? The abbot once personally named you as the heir of the Dharma, and all the monks knew about it, and no one would deny it. If you say you don't do it, you won't do it, what is your position as an abbot?"

Monk Yuanzhen was very strange, he seemed to look down on Shenxiu, but to maintain the abbot's decision abnormally, Shenxiu himself retreated, and he was not happy.

When Monk Shenxiu heard this, he showed a look of shame, and said, "What Senior Brother said is that it is my fault. This should not be seen as child's play. ”

Monk Yuanzhen's face softened slightly, and he said, "It's good that you know." The position of the abbot is a great responsibility, and the monks should be convinced, although you are profound in Buddhism, but there is no credit to the temple, and the position of the abbot, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public. ”

Monk Yuanzhen said to Shizi Xuan again: "Real person, the little monk wants to ask you to be a witness here." ”

Shizi Xuan said: "The master doesn't have to be like this, what do you want to witness from the poor Dao?"

Monk Yuanzhen said: "As the abbot of a temple, he should be an example for the monks, he should be convinced by the monks, and more importantly, he should be able to inherit the legal system and carry forward the Fayan Temple." ”

All the monks claimed to be good, and Shi Zixuan also nodded and said, "This is reasonable." ”

Shenxiu also nodded and said, "What Senior Brother said is extremely true. ”

Monk Yuanzhen said: "In this case, the position of abbot might as well be vacant temporarily." For now, there are three things we need to do right away. First, find out the real culprit of the abbot and bring him to justice. Second, recover the Buddha treasure and give an explanation to the monks. Thirdly, the water and land puja should be a good opportunity to raise the name of our Fayan Temple, and the abbot's legacy cannot be interrupted in our hands. Whoever does this will be the next abbot!"

The three conditions put forward by Monk Yuanzhen, all the monks nodded.

Indeed, if anyone can do these three things well, he will be recognized by all the monks. Inheriting the position of abbot is also justified.

Monk Yuanzhen said solemnly: "Senior Brother Shenxiu, what do you think?"

Shenxiu nodded and said: "I am a disciple of my teacher, these three things are all things I should do, thank you Senior Brother Yuanzhen for reminding me." ”

Turning his gaze to Master Zhizhu's body, he said with sadness: "Teacher's body, don't be so humiliated, let's wait for the teacher's burial." ”

A turmoil has subsided for the time being.

Master Zhizhu died. The murderer is unknown, the Buddha treasure is lost, and it cannot be traced for the time being, so it can only depend on the future chance.

The position of the abbot of the temple is temporarily vacant, and the daily affairs of ordinary times are also handled by Yuan Zhen and Shen Xiu.

The monks breathed their breath and decided not to announce the truth about Master Zhizhu's death, only saying that Master Zhizhu had passed away in the world and left safely.

Those pilgrims. There is no doubt about it, after all, although Master Zhizhu looks young, he is actually not young. Now he is gone, although it is a pity. But it also makes sense.

Shi Zixuan lived in Fayan Temple for five days, and the relics of Master Zhizhu were sent to the White Wild Goose Pagoda.

After observing the ceremony, Master Xuanben was about to say goodbye and return to the mountain, but the monk Shenxiu mysteriously invited him to the Dharma Hall.

Monk Shenxiu said with some embarrassment: "Fellow Daoist." I have one thing to ask for, and I ask you to answer it. ”

Shi Zixuan couldn't help but be curious: "What's the matter?"

Monk Shenxiu said: "I want to ask the Taoist chief to go to Yujing with me at that time." ”

Monk Shenxiu wants to represent Fayan Temple to go to Yujing to participate in the water and land puja, which is a grand event for practitioners in the world. The people who can go are either a monk or a Taoist real person. Of course, Shi Zixuan could also go, but his reputation was not obvious, and no one invited him to go.

After all, if it is said that there is a Xuanyuan real person in Guangfa, some people may know. But who is Shi Zixuan? I'm sorry, I haven't heard of it.

Shenxiu asked Shi Zixuan to accompany him, and Shi Zixuan probably guessed the intention of Shenxiu monk.

"Buddha friend, do you want me to help you recover the Buddha treasure?" asked Shi Zixuan.

Shenxiu nodded, "Yes." The Buddha treasure is the thing of my Fayan Temple. The Dharma I practice is closely related to it. As soon as the Buddha treasure appears, I immediately have a sense of it. The water and land puja will be attended by all the cultivators in the world, and perhaps one of them will be the one who took away the Buddha's treasure! But my Fayan Temple does not cultivate supernatural powers, and I am afraid that I will not be able to pursue it, so I ask Taoist friends for your help. ”

Shi Zixuan thought about it, the water and land festival was on the ninth day of the fourth month, and there was still more than half a year to go. And from Fucheng to Yujing, it takes about three months by land, which is still early. I shouldn't be fine. What's more, he also wanted to go to Yujing to have a look.

When he left the mountain, the patriarch said to him that if he does not enter the red world, it is rare to have a harmonious heart, and it is rare to have a positive result without going through thousands of mountains and rivers.

Although he cultivates in the Jingmur Mountain, he will not stay in the view all the time, but he still has to go out to increase his knowledge, which is also the growth of knowledge, and it is good for his cultivation to confirm the landscape in the Dudou Palace.

"I'm going to do that. Buddhists, before you set off, please come and tell me, I will go with you. ”

Shi Zixuan said.

Monk Shenxiu was overjoyed when he heard the words and thanked him repeatedly.

After leaving the Fayan Temple, Shi Zixuan walked towards Jingmuro Mountain. I didn't use the Taoist method, so I walked back.

Along the way up the mountain, Shi Zixuan did not go back directly, but went to the temple of Bai Shu.

Since the Liu butcher's illness was cured, the white lady's curative work has spread ten, and ten has spread in Fucheng. Nowadays, there are really many people who come to the Baishu Temple to pray for incense.

When Shi Zixuan entered the view, he saw three or two people in front of the statue of Bai Shu, worshipping incense and asking for problems.

To Shi Zixuan's slight surprise, in front of the incense case, it was none other than the young lady Liu who was lighting incense for everyone there.

Bai Shu once asked Liu Youniang to come back after the spring and let her accompany her parents at home, but this girl came just after the New Year.

As soon as Shi Zixuan entered the temple, Liu Youniang saw him, hurriedly greeted him, and said, "Dao Chief, why are you here?"

Shi Zixuan couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm just here to go around, it's just Miss Liu, why are you here?"

Shi Zixuan half-jokingly said it, but who knew that Liu Youniang listened to it, but her face showed an extremely unnatural look.

Shi Zixuan's heart moved, and he couldn't help asking: "Miss Liu, what's wrong, have you encountered any difficulties?" (to be continued......)
