The daily life of Dali Siqing

Nursing Residence, Wanshan Temple.

In addition to the original Wulu and Qunru, there is another old monk.

"Senior brother, why are you here!?" Seeing this person, Wu Lu was very pleasantly surprised. He didn't have the energy-raising skills of ordinary eminent monks, and he couldn't have a face like a lake. Although he tried his best to control the expression on his face, the color of excitement and joy was clearly visible.

"The old man actually arrived in Jinling before March, but he was busy with the treatment of the epidemic, so he didn't come to see his brother."

"This time I came to see Junior Brother, firstly, I came to meet someone, and secondly, I came here to see Junior Brother." The monks did not lie, and the old monk was not polite, and stated his purpose clearly.

This old monk was the one who enlightened Wu Lu and brought him into Buddhism.

"Senior brother, you came to see that Fairy Master from Cihang Jingzhai?" Wulu was originally a big businessman in the mall. Although he has been practicing Buddhism with peace of mind and no longer intrigues these years, it does not mean that he has become dull.

"Junior Brother Wulu knows my reason for coming?!" The old monk had a look of surprise on his face.

"Hahaha, senior brother, apart from me and these children, few people come to my place on weekdays. Recently, only the teacher fairy has been here. Since senior brother didn't come to see me, he must have come to see her."

"It's true. I have met this bhikkhuni many times when I was dealing with the prevention and treatment of epidemic diseases. He indeed has a certain demeanor of true cultivation, which is quite different from those in Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Chanyuan who boast and talk about the Tao."

Wulu knows little about Jianghu, but he still knows about the two holy places of Buddhism, especially the Jingnian Temple, which is just outside the city of Yangzhou and not far from Jinling. When Wulu first entered Buddhism, he went to worship.But it is far from the Buddhist holy land in his heart.

Jingnian Temple is located in the southern suburbs of Yangzhou. There are more than hundreds of buildings in the temple, just like a small city. In the middle, there are seven main halls and a small copper hall with a width of three feet and a depth of three feet.

Except for the copper hall, all buildings are covered with three-color glazed tiles, and the color is as new. In front of the copper hall, there is a platform square that is as wide as hundreds of feet, built of white stone and surrounded by white stone railings. In the middle is a Manjushri Bodhisattva riding a golden lion. Next to the niche are the three Buddhas such as Medicine Master, Sakyamuni and Amitabha.The painted sculptures and gold ornaments are quite imposing. Except for the entrance and exit of the four stone steps, there are five hundred arhats on average, all made of gold and copper, and each of them has a lifelike expression.

In the Great Hall of Great Heroes, the golden body of the World Honored One is two feet high, the treasure looks solemn, but also has a benevolent face.

But the majesty and compassion of the Buddha do not lie in the Buddha statue, but in the hearts of the people.

However, this Buddha statue is really exquisite, and it was poured and carved by dozens of skilled craftsmen. Although it looks like it is made of brass, it is actually only brass on the outside and gold inside.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, it didn't matter to use gold to cast Buddha statue vessels without permission, but it was a crime against the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty to mine copper mines or melt copper coins to cast copper wares without permission.

In the early days of Taizu, in addition to the large amount of copper consumed in temples, there was also a social custom of using copper vessels among the people.

At that time, there was a phenomenon of "selling money as utensils, and selling several times the profit". Taizu was forced to promulgate the "Forbidden Casting of Bronze Wares" in fact, which explicitly prohibited the use of bronze wares, or to destroy copper coins and cast bronze wares. Phenomenon.

From here, we can also see the luxury of the Buddha statues in Jingnian Temple.

In such a luxurious environment, how can the monks be at ease and excellent? !

Not only the Jingnian Temple, but also the Shaolin Temple, where the old monks were born, gradually have such bad habits.This has caused dissatisfaction among many ascetic monks, but their power is not strong in the Buddhist sect, and they are light in terms of people, and they have little influence on the Buddhist sect.For this reason, the old monk resorted to feigning death to escape, and practiced hard in the rivers and lakes.

The old monk's eyes were compassionate, with a smile on his face, "Nanwu Pharmacist Liuliguang Wangfo, before this old monk thought that the child Shi Feixuan was taken astray by Cihang Jingzhai, but these three months when I was treating patients in Jinling City , is also observing her. It is completely different from before, no longer looking down on the world from above."

"The people in Cihang Jingzhai always think too highly of themselves, Di Tufeng?! You dare to take this kind of name! If it wasn't for the Taizu's ten years, the Lanhu rebellion of Pingming sect, and the northern attack on Qianyuan , after entering the east and advancing gold, governing the people's livelihood internally, there is no extra energy, otherwise there is no emperor stepping on the peak in the world!"

If the Taizu hears the slogan "Choose the emperor on behalf of the sky, no barbarian clans", it must be Empress Xiaoci Gao who persuaded him.

Cihang Jingzhai is also very self-aware. After the Taoist sect unequivocally supported the Taizu, Cihang Jingzhai gave up their plan to choose the emperor on behalf of the heavens.

At that time, Taizu's supportive forces were a low-key but unfathomable Daoist family, and a Mingjiao who was in full swing like a raging fire.

Buddhism also chose to endure it, not daring to jump out and make troubles.To deal with Mingjiao, Buddhism still has five points of confidence, Taoism is too mysterious.

This group of people is mysterious all day long, practicing Taoism and alchemy in the deep mountains and old forests, and the ghost knows how many masters are hidden.

It was not until Taoism and Mingjiao merged that Buddhism resumed its activities, and it was not until Taizu died and passed on the throne that Buddhism began to make a high profile.

……

"In the past three months, brother has also been treating sick people?!"

The old monk nodded, then shook his head, "Unfortunately, the old monk is conceited of his excellent medical skills. In the past three months, he has realized that there are people beyond people, and there is heaven beyond the sky. The king of medicine, Sun Shichang, is the best doctor in the world. I dare not compare; It also makes sense to be a national hand in the imperial court of the imperial hospital, but Tang Shenwei, a well-known doctor in Sichuan and Shu, has better medical skills than the old monk..."

Even if the old monk has no desire to win, he still feels frustrated and frustrated. After all, he was defeated in his own field. Except for the Tathagata World Honored One, who can be unaffected? !

"However, this time, the merit of this Marquis Yang is really overwhelming. If he hadn't brought people to control the epidemic, this Yangzhou would have turned into a ghost town, and how many innocent people would have died?!"

The old monk's words were full of praise and appreciation for Yang Qingyuan, as if there was no suspicion between Buddhism and Taoism at all.

"The girl Shi Feixuan also grew up by her side..."

Good guy, all the credit goes to Yang Qingyuan, this wave.

The old monk boasted for a long time before stopping, "By the way, where is Shi Feixuan?! I want to see him."

"She left with Yang Hou yesterday and never came back!"

The old monk didn't react when he heard the words, "It's okay, it's not a bad thing to have more contact with this Marquis Yang."

As far as the attitudes of these two monks are concerned, if they are seen by Jingnian Temple and Cihang Jingzhai, they will definitely be "Buddha treacherous". !

"By the way! Brother, there is one more thing, I feel a little strange."

"What's the matter?!"

"Come with me!"

Then, the monk Wulu led the old monk to a slightly dilapidated monastery.

"Junior brother, this is the original site of Wanshan Temple!" The old monk said looking at the surrounding environment.

"Exactly, this is the original Wanshan Temple, which happened to be next to the house I bought. Later, when there were more and more children, I also bought the dilapidated Wanshan Temple, so that the older children could have a A place for literacy and play."

Under the leadership of Wu Lu, the old monk came to the backyard of Wanshan Temple. As soon as he entered the courtyard, the old monk couldn't move his eyes away.

A pink lotus flower is blooming in the courtyard, and its petals are swaying gently in the breeze.

"This, this!..." Rao Yi was a well-informed old monk, and he didn't know what to say when he saw this scene.

It's July at this moment, and it's not surprising that there are lotus flowers in full bloom, at least it's not worth being so surprised.

But the place where this lotus blooms is really special.

The lotus should have been born in the mud of the lotus pond, but at this time, it bloomed on a piece of dead wood. It was not inserted artificially, but really grew on the dead wood.

"How is this possible?!" The old monk rubbed his eyes in disbelief, a bit like a child who just woke up.

Wu Lu smiled wryly, "Brother, when I first saw it, I thought it was the children playing in the mansion. After getting closer, I confirmed that the lotus flower was indeed blooming on the dead wood."

Before the old monk recovered from the accident, Wu Lu pointed his finger in another direction.

"Senior brother, please look!"

The old monk looked in the direction of Wulu's finger, and saw a thick piece of burnt wood standing in the courtyard, "Is this the ancient Bodhi tree that was destroyed by thunder in Wanshan Temple?! What's the matter..."

Before the old monk finished speaking, he stopped abruptly, his pupils looking at Jiaomu narrowed slightly, and the shock on his face was hard to control.

"It...it... sprouted?!"

I saw that there was a touch of green that was hard to ignore on this section of scorched black lightning strike wood.

Dead wood produces lotus flowers, and bodhisattvas produce new buds.

The old monk seemed to be in a daze, "This is the auspicious omen of my Buddhism!! But where is the auspiciousness?!"

……

----------------

Yangzhou, Jingnian Temple.

The masters of the Southern School of Buddhism basically gather here.

Although the current Buddhism, both the north and the south are the Dharma lineage of Southern Zen, but the two sides still have conflicts of interest.This is not surprising, there are also differences among Taoist sects such as Shangqing, Tianshi, and Yuhua.

"Senior Brother Liaofan, I don't know why you are in such a hurry to ask me to come here?!" A woman dressed as a nun spoke, she was gentle and elegant, but under her seemingly gentle appearance, there seemed to be a romantic relationship hidden. rhyme.

Lord of Cihang Jingzhai, Fan Qinghui.

"It's fine to call me, why do you have to call my junior sister?!"

Next to Fan Qinghui is another woman who seems to be at ease, Cihang Jingzhai and Yan Jingan.

These are the two most outstanding disciples of Cihang Jingzhai's previous generation, but the Buddhism was weak at that time, and the two did not fight to become a human being, so they were not like Shi Feixuan and Qin Mengyao, but more like Jiaobulimeng.

The looks of this pair of teachers and sisters are also the best in the world. When the two traveled around the world, they also attracted a group of masters.

Fan Qinghui regards Song Que, the head of the Song family of the Lingnan family, as the stone of sharpening; Yan Jing'an had a love affair with the head of the magician's palace, the magician Pang Ban.

The two talked about their relationship with vigor and vitality.

It doesn't matter if Cihang Jingzhai doesn't have any masters, just based on the connections of the two of them in the martial arts world, they can invite no less than six masters of the Dongxuan Realm.

It's no wonder that Fan Qinghui asked this question. Although Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Temple are closely related, Cihang Jingzhai has always entered the world and Jingnian Temple was born. This time it seems to be reversed.

"Amitabha, if it weren't for a big event, the poor monk would not invite the two of you from Di Ta Peak together with your senior brother."

After Liao Fan paused, he opened his mouth and said, "There is a very big thing that I need to tell you two——My Buddhist supreme martial art, Tathagata Palm, reappeared in the world of mortals three months ago!"

During these three months, Liao Fan and the others searched for ancient books, read Buddhist scriptures, and looked for clues of the Tathagata God's Palm. At the same time, they also sent people to keep an eye on Yang Qingyuan in Jinling City, for fear that he would run away.

It wasn't until half a month ago that it was completely confirmed that the martial arts used by Yang Qingyuan was undoubtedly in the palm of the Tathagata, and then they sent people to invite Fan Qinghui and Yan Jingan from Dita Peak to discuss important matters.

"Buddha's Palm?!"

Fan Qinghui and Yan Jingan exclaimed almost at the same time.

Isn't this the legendary martial arts? !How can it really exist in the world? !

After being shocked, Fan Qinghui immediately sorted out her thoughts, "Senior Brother Fan, this matter is important and should not be joked!"

The Tathagata God's Palm is of great significance in Buddhism, if their Southern School of Buddhism obtains the Tathagata God's Palm, they may even have a chance to overwhelm the Northern School of Buddhism headed by Shaolin.

"On the day when the palm of the Tathagata came into the world, the four eminent monks were all present, and the Buddha's light first appeared. I meditated quietly. The bronze bell in the Buddhist monastery did not strike, the pages of the Buddhist scriptures turned automatically, and the clouds in the sky turned into the treasured image of the World Honored One. False. We have personally experienced the power of the Tathagata palm. Then the Buddha's light cannot be faked?!"

"Where is the person who cast Tathagata Palm?!" Fan Qinghui and Yan Jingan asked anxiously after confirming the authenticity of Tathagata Palm.

Liao Fan smiled awkwardly, and spit out an even more embarrassing name.

……

——————————————————————————————

Jinling, residence of nursing students.

"Your majesty is taking the liberty to visit, and please don't take offense, master."

Yang Qingyuan came to the Nursing Residence and asked to see Wulu. Yang Qingyuan respected this real monk very much.

"Amitabha, it's okay." Wu Lu immediately replied.

Yang Qingyuan saw the old monk beside him, and a strange color flashed in his eyes, "Master Wulu, I don't know who this is?!"

The aura of this old monk seems unfathomable, he is by no means an ordinary person.

If Yang Qingyuan didn't have the poison of Jin Bo Xunhua in his body at this moment, with his innate keenness, he should be able to detect one or two truths.

But now the flower poison has not been cleared, this flower poison is named after Bo Xun, it is the flower of the demon, it has the ability to confuse people's six senses and five senses, Yang Qingyuan's current aura is not as sharp as ordinary Dongxuan warriors.

But one thing is certain, this old monk is definitely above Dongxuan.

Although Yang Qingyuan's six senses were confused, he still had a basic reaction when martial arts masters appeared.Only if this person's martial arts are above Dongxuan can he hide the truth from the current Yang Qingyuan.

Of course, there is another possibility, this old monk doesn't know a little martial arts, Yang Qingyuan naturally won't have any reaction, but is this possible? !
The old monk almost wrote on his face, "I am a master!"

"This is my senior brother."

After Wulu's brief introduction, the old monk saluted with palms up, "Nanwu Pharmacist Liuliguang Wangfo, a man of the mountains, has met Yanghou."
