A few monks pushed the door in, and just as they were about to speak, they heard the old monk of the abbot shouting, "What are you three doing when you three come in?"

Several monks hurriedly said, "Abbot, this Taoist said that he came to worship the Bodhisattva, but why did he still want to demolish the temple? ”

The old monk said: "What is the theory? The temple will be demolished when it is demolished, what does it have to do with you?"

A monk said, "Abbot, this temple is ours, he demolished the temple, how can we tolerate him?"

The old monk glared at him and said, "Who said that this temple is yours? This is the temple of the Bodhisattva, which was brought by the monk and me, and is a donor to all living beings, but not you and me." It is not only by chance, but also by chance. ”

When several monks heard this, they were silent, but looking at Shi Zixuan, they were still a little hostile.

Shi Zixuan was casting a spell at this time, and he didn't notice it, and even if he noticed it, he wouldn't pay attention to it.

After a while, I suddenly heard a voice coming: "What the little monk said is good. This temple is not anyone's, it will be demolished if it is demolished, it will be destroyed, and the disillusionment of life and death will be the principle of nature, and it cannot be forced. You're really interesting, what are you doing discussing this?"

Everyone was shocked, and when they looked up, they saw the Bodhisattva statue next to the Truth Hearing Statue, which seemed to be suddenly agile and vivid. After a while, a rui beast came out of it.

The monks stared blankly at the scene in front of them, and they didn't react for a while.

The old abbot monk's hands trembled, and he stepped forward with some excitement and said, "Venerable, it's really you!"

Di Ting scratched his head with his paws, looked at him several times, and said, "Do you recognize me?"

The old abbot monk burst into tears, like a child who had seen his relatives, and said in a sobbing voice: "Haven't you forgotten Your Holiness? I once had a relationship with His Holiness, and it was also because of the Bodhisattva and His Holiness. There is now an unnamed temple. ”

Di Ting wondered: "I haven't walked in the world for a long time, how can I see you?"

The old abbot said, "Your Holiness may have forgotten. More than 60 years ago, I was a child, my father died young, and my mother was seriously ill. I have seen it with a doctor, and I said that my mother's vitality is exhausted, and the power of the medicine stone in the world is useless, so I can prepare for the future as soon as possible. I was so anxious and desperate that I listened. Lost soul returned home, but on the way home. Occasionally, I heard an old monk in the middle of the city, giving a lecture on the scriptures.

What I heard when I was passing by happened to be an old monk explaining the great wish of the Bodhisattva, who bravely went to hell to save his mother and liberated his mother. I felt something and went home. I prayed with all my heart that I would like to follow the Bodhisattva's wishes. Save your mother from the sea of suffering. I'd like to have a heart. That night, I dreamed that His Holiness appeared in my dream and said that my great wish had reached the Dharma realm, but my mother had reached the end of her life and could only be blessed with the power of her great wish. It can add ten years of life.

But longevity is difficult to change, and it doesn't come out of nowhere. I need to be repaid by my surrogate. In this life, I need to do three hundred and thirty-three good deeds and give a thousand taels of money. This money is earned by one's own hands, and the Sutra is recited every day to give back to sentient beings. His Holiness said this to me personally, and then I woke up from a dream and went to see my mother, who miraculously went to get sick. It was really ten years later that he passed away. With His Holiness in mind, I bowed down to the Bodhisattva's great kindness, and made another vow to build a temple for the Bodhisattva and His Holiness. Decades have passed, and I have a thousand words to see His Holiness today, but there is only one sentence, the little monk has kept his vow after all, and what His Holiness said, I have done it!"

The old monk cried as he spoke, crying like a child.

The monks behind him suddenly realized at this time, and then they knew that it was no wonder that the abbot usually slammed the door to death, that is, to buy vegetables and rice, to buy cloth and tailoring, all of them had to be careful and calculated. And the temple is broken like this, and it doesn't cost a penny to repair it. Before, they thought that the abbot was this kind of character, but now they know that it turned out that the abbot had an appointment with the Bodhisattva earlier, so it would be like this.

Di listened, and his face also showed a moving look, and said, "I remembered, it turned out to be you." I didn't expect you to enter the empty door too. You can make a vow and make a vow, this is extremely haode, you are a true Buddha. ”

The old monk burst into tears, nodded and whimpered, unable to speak.

Shi Zixuan didn't expect that the abbot of this temple would have such a past, and he was quite emotional in his heart, and stepped forward to hear the salute, and said with a smile: "Venerable, meet again." ”

Di Ting looked at Shi Zixuan, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Stinky boy." I'm not going to talk about you being ungrateful. Why do you want to disturb my Dharma Body? What you're doing is not authentic. ”

Shi Zixuan smiled and said, "Venerable." Who says I'm ungrateful? It's not easy for you to come out, and I'm also giving you a chance to go out. ”

Di Ting was surprised: "Huh, how do you know...... What the hell are you up to, stinky boy?"

Shi Zixuan said with a smile: "Last time I went to Jiuhua Mountain, I saw you playing a bodhisattva boringly joking with me, so I knew that you must be bored in the Netherworld Palace." Now I happen to have something to ask His Holiness for help, so I cast a spell to alarm His Holiness Dharma Body and invite His Holiness to come to the world as a guest, the best of both worlds. ”

Di Tingting rolled his eyes and said, "Strong words, you can still say it." ”

Shizi Xuan laughed twice and made apologies again and again.

Several monks on the side, when they first saw the Venerable Venerable, were a little confused. Although they usually practice the Dharma and offer offerings to the Bodhisattva and the Venerable, these two are just a puppet in their hearts, and they worship the image every day, not necessarily the Bodhisattva and the Venerable himself, but the puppet in their hearts.

But now that the Venerable has manifested his true body, these monks are a little excited and in awe, and their hearts are complicated, and it is difficult to explain clearly. Even looking at Shi Zixuan, his eyes changed a little, and when he saw that he could talk to Venerable Diting at will, he realized that what he said before was true, and he really had some friendship with Venerable Diting. Thinking about it again, the words of the few of them were a little offensive before, and I couldn't help but sweat.

The old monk wiped his tears and said to everyone: "His Holiness can come to the small temple today, it is really full of brilliance, clear space, pure enlightenment, hurry up and go to do some vegetarian food, and everyone will have a meal together." ”

"Yes, Abbot. The two monks immediately answered.

Di Ting said with some emotion: "If you hadn't moved my Dharma Body today, I would have almost forgotten that there was such a place. Once you enter the world, you must always taste the fireworks in the world. The last time I went down with the Bodhisattva, even I forgot when it was, so I walked around and had a meal together. ”

This night, Di Ting ate a vegetarian meal in a small temple, the abbot old monk did not eat for lunch on weekdays, and today he also made an exception to eat two more bowls of somen noodles, which was very happy. Shi Zixuan and Zhang Xiao sat alongside.

Shizi Xuan saw that the food was very ugly, it was simply a whirlwind, and he couldn't help laughing: "Venerable, why do you look like a starving ghost, is it so delicious?"

Di Ting said, "What do you know? I eat vegetarian food, but what I gain is the hearts of the old monks and the young monks. They are happy when I eat more, and if I don't use a bite, they will feel uneasy. ”

This sentence is transmitted with divine sense, Shi Zixuan glanced at the abbot and the old monk, and sure enough, his smiling eyes narrowed into a slit. And after making a table of meals, the two of them were also smiling from ear to ear.

The three of them stayed in the temple for a night, and then took their leave.

On the third day after the three of them left, the old monk Neng gathered all the monks in the temple together and said to the monks: "The great vow I made to the Bodhisattva has now been fulfilled, and there is no concern in my heart, and I am leaving." But there is still something to be explained. ”

When the monks heard this, they knew that the abbot was about to die, and their faces showed sadness.

The old monk smiled and said: "Don't be sad, I have achieved success in my life and have been completed, you should be happy for me...... After I leave, there will be no abbot in this temple. After five years, a man in a kapok robe will come to the temple to seek refuge. You will put him in place, and then invite him to the temple to preside. ”

When the monks heard this, they hurriedly said, "The disciple understands. ”

The old monk glanced at Jingming, the disciple with the best root and the deepest root of wisdom, and said: "You are my personal disciple, I will not pass on the position of the abbot in the temple to you today, do you have any complaints in your heart?"

Jingming said honestly: "If it was a few days ago, maybe there would be." But that day, I heard that the teacher was willing to do this life. I felt in my heart that I would never think like this again. Teacher, I have some feelings in my heart, and I also want to follow the teacher's example, enter the world, and build a temple for the Bodhisattva. Open the door to convenience for all beings. ”

The old monk nodded and said, "Okay, good." If you have this wish, it will not be in vain for you and me to have a master-apprentice relationship. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

The monks shook their heads.

The old monk nodded and said, "Okay." I'm done with the world, and I'm going to go. ”

As soon as the words fell, the old monk closed his eyes, a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he passed away.

However, he said that Shi Zixuan, Zhang Xiao, and Di Ting left the temple, and did not ride the clouds, but walked slowly - this was proposed by Di Ting, he wanted to walk slowly with his feet, and did not want to fly into the sky, because he was here to play in the world, and naturally he wanted to follow the example of the world, and enjoy the mountains and rivers.

Shi Zixuan looked at Di Ting and said, "Venerable, why don't you transform into a human form? If someone else sees it, I'm afraid I'll be shocked. ”

Di Ting thought for a moment and said, "What you said also makes sense. But I'm not used to walking in person. After saying that, this truth changed and turned into a white-haired giant dog, which looked very powerful.

Di Ting said to Shi Zixuan: "By the way, I didn't ask before, what is the matter with you looking for me to come to the world?"

Shi Zixuan said: "It's a long story, let's talk as we go...... In this way, Zhang Daoyou's master is a treasure, lost in the world, and now I don't know where it is. The person who knew about it refused to speak, so he could only ask His Holiness for help. ”

Hearing this, Di nodded and said, "This matter is easy, you can tell me about the shape and appearance of that treasure." As long as it's not in the blessed world, you can't escape my detection. (To be continued......)
