Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 2238
Book next time.

Master Wu'an had something on his mind, and seeing that Master Gui was so impressive, he dared not neglect him, so he invited him immediately.

The Ghost Taoist Master bowed his head in return, then with his hands behind his back, he and Master Wu'an went downstairs to the abbot's Zen room.

"Old benefactor, please sit down." Master Wu'ai clasped his hands and asked the Ghost Taoist Master to take a seat.

The Ghost Taoist Master was not polite, nodded slightly, and sat down next to the shorter ones.

Master Wu'an called the young monk outside the door to serve tea, and the faint fragrance of tea immediately filled the Zen room.

"May I ask the old benefactor, where are you from?" Master Wu'an asked after Master Ghost took a sip of tea.

"I come from the Sanqing sect. Speaking of it, I can be regarded as half a Taoist priest." Taoist Ghost said modestly.

Master Wu'an frowned and asked, "Half a Taoist priest, what do you say?"

"He was not good at his studies and fell back into secular life on the way, so he is called half a Taoist priest." Ghost Taoist Master said.

The reason why it is so convoluted is that Taoist Ghost does not want to reveal his true identity.

"I'm afraid that the old benefactor is too humble. If he is not good at learning, how could he come to our temple and point out that there is a ghost in our temple?" Master Wu'an asked.

"Master, by saying this, you are admitting that there are ghosts in your temple?" the ghost priest asked in return, picking up the teacup and drinking tea.

Master Wu'an smiled slightly, put his palms together and said: "From the point of view of Buddhism, the four elements are all empty, and there is no door to Buddhism. My Wulian Temple has no door, so the whole world is Wulian Temple. Therefore, as long as any place in the world There are ghosts, even in Wulian Temple. The donor said there are ghosts in my temple, and I admit it."

"Hahaha..." Ghost Taoist Master laughed, pointed his finger at Master Wu, and said: "What a quibbling old monk. By saying this, do you mean that you have the world in mind and want to be the emperor?"

The whole world belongs to his Wulian Temple. This is such a big statement that no wonder the ghost priest laughed.

Since ancient times, only the emperor has dared to say such big words. The land in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers.How can any monk brag like that?

Master Wu'an also laughed and said, "Donor, you might as well tell me directly. You said there is a ghost in my temple. Where is the ghost?"

The Ghost Master stretched out his finger and pointed at Master Wu'an's chest: "Ghost, it's in your heart."

Master Wu'an smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "They say that Buddhism has endless profound meanings, but the words of the donor are even more difficult to understand than our Buddhism. Who doesn't have ghosts in their heart? Probably only Buddha."

The ghost Taoist priest put down his tea cup and sneered: "Master, I'm not going to beat around the bush with you. If you don't have ghosts in your heart, there will be no ghosts in Wulian Temple! You are compassionate, but how many injustices have you caused in the past 12 years?"

"Donor..." Master Wu'ai was stunned and turned pale: "Donor, it seems you really know?"

"You followed the example of Buddha, cutting meat to feed an eagle and then throwing yourself into a tiger, but that ghost didn't appreciate it, went back on his word, and hurt people one after another. Master, how long do you plan to keep him?" asked the ghost Taoist Priest.

Master Wu'an was sweating profusely, clasped his hands together and said, "It's all the poor monk's fault, but that ghost is really pitiful, I..."

"No matter how wide the rain is, no rootless grass will grow. The vastness of Buddhism makes it difficult for people who are not good. Our Buddha is compassionate and punishes evil. His magic pestle and angry-eyed Vajra were born just for these evil ghosts. Master, eminent Buddhist monk, why don't you understand this? What's the truth?" Ghost Taoist Master shook his head and said: "I know you are soft-hearted and don't want to take action, so I am willing to do it for you. As long as you nod, I will take away this evil tonight."

Master Wu'an looked at Taoist Ghost and was silent, as if he was conflicted in his heart.

"Master, I am polite first and then attack. Even if you don't nod, I will still take action. When the time comes, if you start fighting in the temple and break your golden body of Bodhisattva, don't blame me." Ghost Taoist Master said aggressively .

"Donor, can you solve it outside the temple?" Master Wu'ai finally spoke and asked.

"That thing is very cunning. It has not left the temple for more than ten years. How can I deal with it outside the temple?" Ghost Taoist Master rolled his eyes.

Master Wu'an sighed and said: "Donor, the poor monk is really in trouble. How about this? The poor monk is going out for a wander this afternoon. Can you wait until I come back before taking action?"

"How many days are you going to wander around?" asked the Ghost Priest.

"About three to five days. You can stay here, eat and drink, and I will naturally instruct the monks in the temple to entertain you." Master Wu'ai said.

The Ghost Taoist Master nodded, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I promise you, you can go to Yunyou."

"Thank you very much, donor." Abbot Master Wu'ai clasped his hands, turned around and called Zhike Monk in, and said, "This old donor has a close relationship with Buddhism. Now, the old donor wants to stay here for a few days to practice meditation. You guys are so nice to entertain me, don't you?" Neglect."

Zhike Monk was surprised, but he didn't dare not listen to what the abbot said. He glanced at Taoist Ghost, nodded and said, "I understand, senior abbot, don't worry."

Master Wu'an also nodded and said: "I am going to travel for a few days, and I will leave this benefactor to you. If I come back and hear this benefactor saying that you did not entertain me well, you should be careful."

The monk Zhike was stunned and asked: "Senior brother, okay, why do you want to travel around?"

Master Wu'an glared, pulled his lips, and walked out of the meditation room.

The monk Zhike understood and hurriedly followed him out.

The ghost priest turned a blind eye and sat drinking tea.

The Zhike monk followed the abbot out, and asked again: "Brother, why did you suddenly remember that you are going to travel in the clouds?"

Master Wu'an smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said: "I also have demonic obstacles in my heart, so I have to go out and be quiet. These days, this old benefactor is living in my Zen room. You can let him do whatever he wants, as long as Just don’t demolish our Wulian Temple.”

"Senior brother, is there something wrong?" Zhike Monk also felt something was wrong and asked with a frown.

"It's okay, it's okay. Just listen to me and don't act recklessly." Master Wu'an sighed, waved his sleeves, and left.

In fact, Master Wu'an's departure was to leave an opportunity for Taoist Ghost to take action.Because Master Wu'an had an agreement with the ghost in the temple.In order not to break the appointment, Master Wu'an had no choice but to avoid it.

He was also afraid that his fellow disciples would restrict Taoist Ghost, so Master Wu'an made an explanation again and asked everyone to let Taoist Ghost go.

It's just that the Zhike monks don't know these things, and none of the other monks know either.

Zhike Monk scratched his head for a long time and didn't know why the abbot brother went out to wander.Thoughts made his head hurt, Zhike Monk still couldn't figure it out, so he had to turn around to entertain the ghost Taoist Priest.

After all, it was the abbot's senior brother's order, and Zhike Monk did not dare to disobey him.

Entering the Zen room, the monk Zhike smiled and asked: "Old donor, are you and our senior abbot an old friend?"

The ghost Taoist priest knew what the Zhike monk wanted to know, but he asked: "Why, your abbot brother, didn't he tell you?"
