Prehistoric: A steady life, starting from Journey to the West

Don't ask, asking is to beg for alms and spread Buddhism according to the order.

What, you don't want to hear it, why don't you let eminent monks in?

He meowed, and asked you if you still want your arm.

........

Jinchengfang, the small courtyard where Chen Qi lived.

"Master, why don't we also go to Huichang Temple and ask the Bodhisattva to let us in at the door!"

"Today, the No.13 eminent monk came to alms for alms. If we come again, we will really eat dirt."

"Yesterday, I heard from the neighbor next door that as long as we go to the door of the Qingzun Bodhisattva in Huichang Temple, foreign monks will not come to us for alms."

After sending away a group of eminent monks who came to beg for alms again, the little book boy Chen An couldn't bear it any longer, and went to the study to complain to Chen Qi.

Hearing this, Chen Qi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Good guy, what do you mean by listening to this, why do you charge protection fees the same as Young and Dangerous Boys?

This Jinchengfang is covered by Huichang Temple. As long as you go to Huichang Temple to invite the Bodhisattva back and pay the protection fee to Huichang Temple, you don't have to worry about monks from other areas coming to alms.

Really good guy ha!

The way of the monks of the Tang Dynasty has really gone farther and farther.

There is still half a month before the Water and Land Conference.

If we really want to go to the back, I don't know if there are any monasteries that will fight for the territory.

Chen Qi was speechless, but he didn't plan to have trouble with the Buddhist eminent monks at this time.

If you invite a Bodhisattva, please invite a Bodhisattva.

Anyway, it is to enlarge the door, not to put the study.

It is also good to have a Bodhisattva watching the gate.

I don't know how the Bodhisattva's effect of looking at the gate is. Don't stop the thief at that time, but the Bodhisattva was stolen by the thief.

Chen Qi thought for a while, and planned to spend money to avoid disaster, and asked, "How do you invite the Bodhisattvas of Huichang Temple? Is there any explanation?"

When the little book boy heard the words, he said what he was about to inquire about, "Aunt Chen in the nearby yard said that the eminent monks of Huichang Temple will determine which Bodhisattva to invite according to the family conditions of the people in Chang'an, and how big the Bodhisattva should be."

"Families at the bottom, just ask a three-inch bodhisattva to hang on the door. The price is not high, only 99 yuan."

"Ordinary families will invite a six-inch Bodhisattva to hang on the door, and the price is 99 yuan."

"A wealthy family invites a nine-inch Bodhisattva, and the price is 99 yuan."

"Above that is the special family, the family of powerful officials. The eminent monks of Huichang Temple will send special monks to send the Bodhisattva. The price is usually at the discretion of the master. The more you give, the more respect you will have for the Bodhisattva."

Chen Qi: "..."

He meow, this is the idea of ​​which ghost monk came up with it.

If you have the brains, you don't go to the imperial examination to benefit the people, but to be a monk.

Even if you don't want to be an official, you can become a merchant, so why do you have to be a monk?

Isn't this a scourge!

Could it be that there are so many talents in Buddhism now?

Really, the clown is in the palace, and the master is in the folk!

I don't know what the bodhisattvas who were invited home will think after knowing this.

The Bodhisattva who co-authored me can still clearly mark the price according to the size!

Chen Qi was speechless, thought for a while and asked: "Then what kind of family are we? Is it an ordinary family or a wealthy family?"

After he finished speaking, he also felt that it was meaningless to discuss this matter, so he directly said to Chen An: "Forget it, go to Huichang Temple and ask the Nine-inch Bodhisattva to come back. This Nine-inch Bodhisattva should be able to show our respect for Bodhisattvas." .”

Well, he has resigned now and is going back to his hometown to sell sweet potatoes, so he can't be associated with special families.

A nine-inch bodhisattva hanging on the door is enough to express respect for the bodhisattva.

The little bookboy Chen An was overjoyed immediately when he heard the words: "Well, young master, please wait a moment, I will go to Huichang Temple to invite Bodhisattvas!"

God knows, he's almost been debilitated by the eminent monks who came to beg for alms recently.

I only hope that the Bodhisattva of Huichang Temple can give some strength.

After you come back, you will be able to let those eminent Buddhist monks from outside stay away.

Well, stay away! .

Chapter 98 Debating the Machine: Donor, the nine-inch Bodhisattva in your house can’t hold back (subscription required)

The little bookboy Chen An went to Huichang Temple to invite Bodhisattvas.

Chen Qi didn't care too much, after all, he had the local tyrant Long as his friend, and he was not short of money now.

Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine dollars.

Let's give the ten guan directly, and there is no need to change the remaining penny, which should be used as travel expenses for the eminent monks to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.

I just hope that the eminent monks can go all the way well, and don't get out of the car halfway.

For such an eminent monk, it is better to go to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss in the Western Paradise, so as to save the money of sins in the world.

Chen Qi took a deep breath, calmed down the grievances in his heart, and then wrote with a brush: "If you don't make alchemy, you don't sit in meditation, and if you don't work for merchants, you don't plow the fields. If you are free to write, you can sell them on green hills, and don't make money in the world."

This is a poem "Yan Zhi" written by Tang Yin in the Ming Dynasty.

The title of the poem is "Yan Zhi"!

Easy to understand, even ordinary people who have not read the book can understand the meaning of the poem.

This poem describes the author's ambition to be indifferent to fame and fortune, and to devote himself to free reading and selling paintings.

At the same time, it also expresses what the poet did not do after abandoning fame and fortune.

Chen Qi also suddenly thought of this poem "Yanzhi".

As for why he wrote this poem at this time, it is definitely an accident.

It's definitely not because I don't like the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty, nor does it look down on Bodhisattvas.

Because, he still wants an arm.

After writing a song "Yanzhi", the depression in my heart subsided a little.

In this situation, what can he do? He is also very helpless, okay?

Above, the Bodhisattva Buddha of the Buddhist Lingshan Mountain is staring, and below, there are bald heads running around in the streets of Chang'an City.

In the middle, there is also the "Sheng Ming" emperor of the Tang Dynasty to show the support of chariots and horses.

Even if he is dissatisfied with the Buddhist monks, so what?

Is it possible to come up with another article "The Theory of Extermination of Buddha and Rapid Wealth"?

If that's the case, even if he has eighteen arms, he won't be able to cut them enough!

So it can only be tolerated for the time being.

About half an hour passed like this, and it was almost noon. The little book boy Chen An who went to invite the Bodhisattva finally came back.

It's just that the little book boy didn't come back alone, beside him was a handsome young monk wearing a white monk robe, red lips and white teeth, handsome and heroic, and extraordinary bearing.

Seeing this, Chen Qi couldn't help frowning.

The little bookboy Chen An went to Huichang Temple to invite Bodhisattva, but the nine-inch Bodhisattva did not invite back, but brought back a handsome young monk.

This caused Chen Qi to have a bad feeling in his heart.

"Young Master, this is Master Bianji from Huichang Temple."

The little book boy Chen An first introduced the handsome young monk behind him to Chen Qi, and then said with a bitter face: "Master, Master Guangde of Huichang Temple said that our family belongs to a special family, so we specially sent Master Bianji to accompany us Come back, pray for disaster relief for our family, and see which Bodhisattva is more suitable."

When Chen Qi heard this, he couldn't help but look at the monk Bianji behind Chen An.

This monk Bianji deserves to be the eminent monk who can attract the favor of the princess of the Tang Dynasty.

This appearance, this appearance, is indeed handsome.

Compared with Fang Yiai, who is big, big, and thick, and has strong muscles, it's no wonder that Princess Gaoyang gave her fiancé a green hat.

"It turned out to be Master Bianji. Chen couldn't help feeling deeply honored that Master came to the humble house."

Chen Qi put down the ancient book in his hand, stood up and said with a smile, and then asked in a calm tone: "I don't know what kind of Bodhisattva the master thinks it is better to invite a statue in my small courtyard?"

When Chen Qi said this, he was ready to bleed heavily.

Bottom family, three-inch Bodhisattva, 99 yuan.

For an ordinary family, a six-inch Bodhisattva costs nine hundred and ninety-nine coins.

Wealthy family, nine-inch Bodhisattva, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine coins.

The special family is the family of princes, dignitaries and officials.

Although, if a special family invites a Bodhisattva, how much money is given to the host is free.

But people say that you are a special family, and they also provide you with a town house to pray for blessings and send Bodhisattvas home for service.

"Bianji has seen Benefactor Chen!"

Just when Chen Qi was debating a lot, the debating machine was also a lot of Chen Qi, and by the way, he glanced at the decoration of Chen Qi's study, and then he clasped his hands together and performed a Buddha ceremony, and said with a smile:

"Chen Benefactor, the feng shui of your house is not very good. In my humble opinion, a nine-inch Bodhisattva can't hold it down!"

When Chen Qi heard this, he was not surprised at all, and said with a blank expression: "Then I don't know what kind of Bodhisattva Master Bianji thinks, to be able to control my small courtyard?"

Now that he was ready to go bankrupt and eliminate disasters, Chen Qi never thought about saving money.

Lu Xun said that ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

Isn't it Huichang Temple? The money to invite Bodhisattvas should be considered as a temporary loan from them.

Anyway, nine times out and thirteen times out, interest rates and so on can be counted directly.

Don't let them all spit it out by then, do you really think that he, the time traveler, was given for nothing?

So Chen Qi looked at it openly, and waited for Monk Bianji to speak with a calm face.

Monk Bianji was not angry when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "I heard that Master Chen is a Jinshi in this year's examination, and a piece of argument attracted applause from all the halls, causing a sensation in Chang'an City, and he was granted the title of scholar of the Imperial Academy by the current emperor. job."

"`ˇBased on the ignorance of the debating machine, ordinary Bodhisattvas really can't control the house of Benefactor Chen. They must be hired to guard the hell, and the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who can save evil spirits, cannot."

"Also, a three-foot-three-inch Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is needed!"

辩机和尚笑吟吟道，他见陈琦依旧不动怒，心中冷哼一声，也顾不得佛门高僧的人设若'',水"?'资'源',!群?6",.5?:6.;;6,1!8,!,8?.':?!6!.备!;用:,!中?,转.群,!7,6',6,;0!1.8:""3'"2!,0了，直言道：“按照我会昌寺规定，三尺三寸的地藏王菩萨，需要黄金99两。”

After Monk Bianji finished speaking, he fixed his eyes on Chen Qi and asked, "I don't know what benefactor Chen thinks?"

He had already made up his mind that as long as Chen Qi couldn't help getting angry, he would be accused of slandering monks and Buddhas, so that he could not bear to go around.

However, to his disappointment, Chen Qi was not angry when he heard Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's offer, but only gave him a meaningful glance.

Then he said calmly: "No problem, Chen An, you go with Master Bianji again, and go to Huichang Temple to ask for a three-foot-three-inch Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to come back."

After Chen Qi finished speaking, he didn't even look at Monk Bianji, he just picked up the teacup on the desk and took a sip of it.

Its meaning is self-evident: serve tea to see off guests!

Seeing this, Monk Bianji was furious, and sneered, "Then I would like to thank Donor Chen. I believe that with the suppression of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Dharma, the Donor's family will be safe, and everything will be safe."

After Bian Ji finished speaking, without waiting for Chen An to speak, he waved his sleeves and turned to leave.

After Monk Bianji left, Chen Qi raised his head again, looking at the background of Monk Bianji's departure, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

He's meow, he's already prepared to go bankrupt and eliminate disasters, but he didn't expect the monks of Huichang Temple to let him go.

It would be no wonder that his thoughts are clear if he still retreats at this point.

Huichang Temple, monk Bianji, right?

Let's read the libretto while riding a donkey, we'll see.

Chen Qi sneered, and casually pulled out a copy of "The Great Prajna Sutra" from the bookshelf beside him.
