承和37年西历2016年3月23日13:09江陵宝庆寺

Baoqing Temple is located at the west foot of the middle peak of Baoqing Mountain in Jiangling. It is also known as Baoqing Ancient Temple. It was built during the Northern Qi Dynasty and has a history of more than a thousand years.It is one of the most important ancient temples in the empire. It has many eminent monks throughout the ages and plays an important role in the history of Buddhism. It is also the center of Buddhism activities in the south of the empire. It is as famous as the Great Zen Temple, White Horse Temple and other famous temples.

Although today is not a weekend, as usual, there is still an endless stream of pilgrims and tourists coming to Baoqing Temple.

In the back mountain of Baoqing Temple, in a quiet room with elegant and simple decoration, two monks sit facing each other and drink tea.

"Brother Abbot, I have also visited some eminent monks and sages these days. I also visited Master Kongyuan you mentioned, but..." A middle-aged monk with a rich face slowly shook his head. It was Master Shantong, the superintendent of Baoqing Temple. He sighed: "I am indeed proficient in classics and treatises, but if there is any magical power... I can't really see it."

The gray-bearded old monk sitting not far from him was Master Shanzhi, the abbot of Baoqing Temple. Hearing this, he also sighed: "This time, I am indeed a little impatient, but the current situation is not optimistic..."

"Senior Brother's concerns are not without purpose. Who would have thought that the Mysterious Gate could actually have supernatural powers? If Director Jiang from the Religious Affairs Administration hadn't visited me that day, I really couldn't believe that it could have been done with human power..." Master Shantong As he spoke, he couldn't help lowering his voice and said: "I never thought that Xuanmen's so-called becoming an immortal is actually true..."

"The theory of immortals and gods has been recorded since ancient times. It must not be underestimated..."

"A few days ago, during the Fengchi Dharma Festival, I met Junior Brother Yuanming from White Horse Temple. We also talked about this matter. He was very anxious during the conversation. To be honest, this is the first time in so many years that I have seen him so worried." Master Shanzhi picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Chapter 483 Divine Monk One

"Although White Horse Temple is located in the capital, and although it is a big family and a big business, if you want to come under the emperor's feet, you will definitely bear the brunt of the pressure..." Master Shantong nodded.

"It is said that the Religious Affairs Bureau has visited many times, which really makes Baima Temple a little at a loss. In the past few days, I heard that it has also visited eminent monks near the capital one after another. Although I don't know what the result will be, looking at the sad look on the face of Junior Brother Yuantong that day, I guess I didn't get anything... …”

Upon hearing this, Shan Tong also had a sad look on his face: "That Mr. Li from Yunxiao Mountain, who has been in the capital these days, is said to have been granted several visits by His Majesty, and his appearance is even more beautiful..."

"The Master and Disciple of Yun Xiaoshan, the three mountain talismans are indeed extraordinary... By the way, as far as I know, some young disciples in the temple have many disdainful remarks about Master Xiao's emergence as a real person. This matter can be big or small... ...Although we, the Buddha Sect and Xuanmen have different philosophies, they are both Eastern Tu sects after all, so don’t hurt the harmony. Some of the monks are also young and energetic, and they don’t understand the power of this, but you and several junior disciples do Don't ignore it, let them go at this moment and at that moment..."

As he spoke, Master Shanzhi put his hands together and recited a scripture: "The so-called Bodhisattva is confident in the retribution of karma. He will not be angry at all unhelpful things. If he scolds, is angry, or hits, all evil things will come to him. He will not be born. Repay the heart. Don’t hold grudges. If the other person asks for it, he will accept it immediately. Don’t make him angry. Don’t ask for his help. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be patient for food and drink. Don’t forget to repay the kindness you received from him. Observe the world. Freedom. This is called the paramita of patience."

"Senior Brother, don't worry, Junior Brother now knows the pros and cons..." Master Shantong put his hands together and sighed in his heart.As a supervisor, he naturally knew what the senior abbot said.Xiao Daoguang's ascension a few days ago aroused public opinion because some so-called live videos were even circulated.This incident actually caused a bigger stir in the religious world than ordinary people who simply watched the show, especially on the Internet and in some forums. Because this incident caused some people to compare the advantages and disadvantages of Buddhism and Taoism. .

As the two largest religions in the East, Taoism and Buddhism both have extremely large supporters, and the battles and debates between them have never stopped since ancient times. Although in the later period, there were signs of mutual harmony, but There is still quite a lot of verbal boycotts between each other.As far as Shantong knows, some of the young monks in the temple have participated in the online debate...

It is true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers... Shantong secretly thought in his heart that he really needs to restrain himself to avoid causing any trouble to the temple. Thinking of the magical power that destroyed the world in the video he had seen, he couldn't help but feel helpless and desperate in his heart. The situation is stronger than the person!

"The royal family is biased towards Xuanmen. If the situation does not change, I am afraid that our religion will be looked down upon. One thing will go wrong..." Shantong lowered his voice and spoke softly. As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh again.

"Junior brother, don't be too discouraged. Our religion has been passed down for thousands of years and has been passed down to this day. It is definitely not achieved without any foundation." Master Shanzhi comforted him: "Xuanmen has the path to becoming an immortal and we, the Buddha Sect, also have the door to establish the Buddha. To this day, The plan is to search in many places. If there is a hidden great master who takes pity on our disciples, he will definitely show up to see him..."

On the wall on one side of the gate of Baoqing Temple is a huge iron bull that is as tall as a person. The origin of this iron bull is unknown. Some say it was donated by a local gentry hundreds of years ago, while others say it was donated by a local gentry hundreds of years ago. It is said that after the previous dynasty unified the world, because foreigners took over, in order to prevent the people of the Central Plains from resisting, they confiscated folk weapons from various places. At that time, Baoqing Temple fused all the weapons of the monks and soldiers in the temple and cast them into an iron bull...

Of course, the most mythical and currently most well-known theory is the legend that the eminent monk Daoguo enlightened the bull demon and turned it into an iron bull protecting the temple.

Of course, as an attraction, tourists come here from time to time to take photos, and even put their children on the back of the iron bull, causing the iron bull's shoulders and back to be polished and shiny.

It was just after noon, and there were some vendors selling food outside the temple. The price was slightly lower than the vegetarian food in the temple. Some tourists thought that the vegetarian food in the temple was expensive, so they bought and ate it around the temple.

A monk dressed in tattered robes was lying at the feet of the Iron Ox. He looked old and ugly. He was wearing a pair of rag shoes. There was even a big hole pierced in the big toe on the right side. You could see the big toe. My toes were poked out.The monk's robe was not only in tatters, but also covered with dust, and the color could no longer be distinguished.Next to the monk were a bamboo hat, a wooden staff, a baggage and a gourd. It looked like he was a traveling monk who had traveled here.The reason why I say this is because his clothing is in sharp contrast to the decent clothing of the monks in Baoqing Temple.

Perhaps seeing his slovenliness, the tourists around him kept a certain distance from him, and people passing by tried to walk around him as much as possible.

Not far away, there was a family of three sitting on a stone bench to rest. One of the little girls, who looked about five or six years old, whispered a few words to her mother, and then received a piece of it from her mother. Bread, she saw her holding the bread, carefully coming to the monk, handing the bread to him and saying: "Old...grandpa, give it to...you to eat."

The old monk stretched out his hand to take the bread from the little girl's hand, thanked her with a smile, put it to his mouth and ate it with a calm expression.

This little girl has a pair of buns and a round and cute face. The only flaw is that the corners of her mouth are a little crooked, which seems to be some kind of disease. Maybe it is affected by this aspect, and her speech is also a little difficult, which makes people feel very regretful. .

After the little girl gave away the bread, she rushed back to her mother happily, looking back at the old monk who was eating the bread from time to time, her face full of satisfaction after doing a good deed.

The old monk stuffed the bread into his mouth after a few mouthfuls, wiped his hands on his clothes, and then leaned on the iron ox's hind legs, closed his eyes and took a nap.

After a while, a monk wearing khaki robes and carrying a small gong came from the side. This monk was fat and looking around. Judging from his appearance, he should be the monk in charge of patrolling the temple.

Every time he walked for a while, the monk struck the gong in his hand. Judging from his behavior, it was probably a reminder.Then he walked close to Tieniu, and at a glance he saw the traveling monk resting at Tieniu's feet. His eyes turned around on the other person's white robe and open cloth shoes, and his brows furrowed. .

Then I saw him walking up to the old monk, and first walked around twice. Seeing that the old monk ignored him, closed his eyes, and seemed to have fallen asleep, his face became gloomy, and he mentioned The gong in his hand came close to the old monk's ear, and he struck it twice.

Chapter 484 Divine Monk II

After two strikes, seeing that the old monk had no response, he struck a few more times in succession...

Then he saw that the old monk finally opened his eyes, glanced at the fat monk, then stood up slowly, and saluted: "This young master is polite, I have come here to rest, and I will be here soon." go."

"Where are you a monk from? Do you have a letter of introduction?" The fat monk raised his chin and asked.

"Monks live all over the world and never have any letters..." The old monk smiled and shook his head.

"Go quickly, go quickly, don't pollute the solemn place of this pagoda..." The monk felt that he had understood the old monk's background, and he immediately looked disgusted and drove away people.

The old monk was not annoyed, and bent down to start packing his belongings. While packing, he shook his head and sighed: "All living beings are flesh and blood. How can the pagoda be distinguished between high and low..."

At this time, there were already pilgrims watching the excitement gathered around. When the old monk said these words, the fat monk suddenly lost his dignity and his face turned red. So he raised his leg to kick the gourd that the old monk placed on the ground.

"Don't kick, don't kick..." The old monk saw this and said hurriedly. As he said this, he bent down and stretched out his hand to stop the fat monk's feet.

The fat monk felt that his knees were weak for some reason, and his feet felt weak. With a plop, he knelt down on one knee...

"No, no... don't kneel, don't kneel..." Seeing this, the old monk hurriedly waved his hands to stop him.

"Damn it, you're kneeling somewhere!!!" The fat monk said angrily, his eyes widened.

Enraged, the monk almost jumped up, rushed forward and kicked hard at the old monk's unpacked objects on the ground...

"Plop..." As a heavy impact came, this time, the fat monk knelt on his knees...

"Hiss..." I saw the fat monk, his facial features bunched up, and he took a breath of cold air. Obviously, he knelt down too "sincerely" this time, and it was really painful...

"I told you not to kneel down! Why did you kneel down again? I can't leave... can't I just leave..." The old monk on the side raised his hand in vain and sighed.

However, by this time, some quick-thinking people onlookers had begun to realize that the problem was unusual. It was obvious that the fat monk in front of him was not the one who wanted to kneel down, but he knelt down twice. And it gets heavier every time. This... the old monk in front of me is extraordinary!

Two lovers who were visiting the temple happened to come close at this time. Seeing this, the man in the couple quietly took out his mobile phone and started to switch to camera mode...

At this time, there were more than ten people around. Some people began to whisper in a low voice. Although the fat monk kneeling on the ground was reckless, he was obviously not stupid. At this time, his face turned red and he pointed at the old monk. : "It's you...it's you...it's your **** who tricked me..."

As he spoke, he suddenly stood up from the ground, shouted loudly, and bumped towards the old monk...

Then, amidst the exclamations, the old monk, who seemed to be about to be knocked down, looked unhurried and just stretched out his hand again, seemingly casually...

"thump!!!"

Amid the gasps of air all around, this time, the fat monk was seen throwing himself on the ground in a worshiping posture. This time, not only his knees, but also his entire face fell straight to the ground. superior……

The people around me gasped when they saw this. It really looked painful... I'm afraid I might have a concussion...

This time, the fat monk seemed to be a little stunned. After a few breaths, he supported himself with all his strength. But this time, no matter how stupid he was, he realized that something was wrong. On the one hand, he was indeed thrown I was a little scared, and for a while I didn't dare to get up again. I just lay on the ground, as if I didn't dare to get up even if I thought about it. I looked like a fat toad that had been lying on the ground, which was very ridiculous.

The old monk ignored him and silently packed up his belongings. He put the rag bag and bamboo hat on his back, and hung the red-skinned gourd on the wooden stick. Staff, walking towards the distance...

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, stopped, and turned to look at the little girl who had just handed him the bread. The little girl was grabbing the corner of her mother's clothes and looking angrily at the ground. The fat monk...

The old monk turned around and walked slowly to the little girl. First he stood up and bowed slightly to the little girl's parents. Then he bent down with a smile, looked at the little girl and said, "The little benefactor and the old monk have a gift of food. I also gave the little benefactor a small gift..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the little girl's head twice...

The little girl's parents also noticed that this old monk might be a little extraordinary, and they looked at the old monk with some curiosity.Not only them, but also many of the pilgrims gathered around stretched their necks...

However, to everyone's surprise, after caressing the old monk twice, he straightened up, saluted the family of three again, turned around, walked out of the crowd, and walked away slowly...

As the old monk walked outside, he recited verses in a low voice. However, in the noisy square in front of the temple, the people around him could hear it clearly...

Baoqing Temple has been built for thousands of years, but now it is blocked by Tieniu.

There is leakage in the hoof, making it difficult to cultivate, and the nostrils are sticking up to the sky without being penetrated.

The Taoist eye is as blind as a donkey's eye, and the temple gate is often like a prison gate.

There is water in the cold spring but no gulls and herons. The messenger of space leaves his name in the world...

........................

………………

At this time, there was a noise not far away, but three monks with strong figures came quickly. However, it was the monks in the temple who noticed the commotion and people gathered. They were afraid that something went wrong and came to check.

"Mom, my face is itchy..." The little girl suddenly reached out to scratch her face.

Hearing this, her mother hurriedly lowered her head to look at her daughter. However, this glance did not matter, and her eyes widened instantly: "Lingling, your mouth..."

As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed her daughter's hand to prevent her from scratching her face, and then looked at her daughter's face carefully...

"Okay... okay!!!" She murmured, but she saw that on the little girl's face, the originally crooked corners of her mouth had returned to normal, just like a normal person, with no crooked lips at all. sign!

Then as if he remembered something, he suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction where the old monk had gone away. What he saw were only people watching the excitement, but the old monk was nowhere to be seen.

She hurriedly ran a few steps, looking left and right for the old monk. However, just for a moment, there were still lingering sounds of verses echoing in her ears, but she could no longer find the whereabouts of the old monk!

Chapter 485: Divine Monk Three

At this time, people who had been paying attention to this earlier began to react. Someone pointed at the little girl's face and exclaimed in a low voice: "Okay... okay!"

In fact, there were quite a few people sitting around just now, and many people also noticed the appearance of the little girl before. Because the contrast between the cute little girl and the crooked corners of her mouth was too strong, almost everyone who saw it , somewhat impressive.At this time, it was revealed that many people immediately came to their senses...

"Look, the little girl's mouth is healed..." Soon, there was a buzz around her.

Considering the old monk's series of actions just now, many people have begun to realize that the old monk is obviously not a simple person.

Everyone looked around, but strangely enough, there was no cover within a hundred meters, but in just a moment, the old monk disappeared out of thin air! ! !

"Living Bodhisattva!!!"

"Holy monk!!!!"

"Buddha Mercy..."

This supernatural scene caused the crowd around to become confused. Some people gathered around the little girl's family and asked about the scene that had just happened, while others looked around, trying to figure out the person. The "divine monk" found it.What's more, he started to put his hands together and mutter something in his mouth and began to salute in the direction where the old monk just left...

..........................................

..............................

In the back hill of Baoqing Temple, Master Shanzhi was chatting with Master Shantong, when suddenly there was a knock on the door of the quiet room.

After a while, a middle-aged monk opened the door, but it was Yuan Kong, a Zhike from Baoqing Temple. He walked quickly towards the room.He saluted the two of them and said, "Abbott, Supervisor, the disciples who were inspecting the gate just now reported that something happened at the gate of the temple."

"Oh? What's going on?" Seeing Yuan Kong's anxious expression, Shanzhi asked curiously.

"The patrolling disciples at the gate just now saw an old monk when they were patrolling outside. The old monk must have been here and rested at the Iron Bull Gate at the gate of the temple..."

Yuan Kong narrated the news he heard from his disciples in detail, but before he could finish the story, he saw that the abbot and the supervisor, who used to be a group of ordinary eminent monks, suddenly became confused. He stood up and then trotted towards the temple gate as if his buttocks were on fire...

..............................

........................

"Abbot... Abbot... Disciple has ordered people to search around, but so far, nothing has been found..." Abbot Shanzhi and Supervisor Shantong looked around at the Tieniu outside the temple gate for a long time, knowing that they were friends. Sora followed behind and explained with a slightly helpless expression.

After standing there and searching for a long time, Shanzhi confirmed that there was indeed no trace of the old monk. Then Shanzhi reluctantly turned to look at Yuan Kong: "Are the three donors from the family of three you mentioned just now still there?"

"Yes, yes, my disciple has ordered someone to invite him to the guest house in the temple to wait." Yuankong said continuously.

"Go now..." Master Shantong heard the words and waved his hand: "In addition, let all the disciples who just witnessed this matter gather together. I want to ask about it, especially the Mingtai..." The Mingtai in his mouth was the one before The fat monk who went up to drive away the old monk caused everything to happen.

承和37年西历2016年3月23日14:52江陵宝庆寺客舍

"The temple is not in good order, and unexpectedly... such an incident happened!" Master Shanzhi's lips trembled with anger, and he pointed at the fat monk Mingtai kneeling below, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Master Shantong on the side also sighed repeatedly. As the supervisor of the temple, he actually understood Na Mingtai's actions. Generally speaking, according to the rules of the Buddha Sect, monks travel to other temples out of the morality of being fellow disciples of the Buddha. Temples in other places should provide certain accommodation and meals, which is the so-called order.

However, in theory, this rule is correct, but in practice, it may not be so.

Although the Baoqing Temple family has a great business, but you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are. If according to the tradition of Buddha Sect, all outside monks are allowed to make orders, then simply receiving the traveling monks from north to south every year will be a considerable expense, and Because many monks are a mixed bag and their origins are unclear, generally speaking, except for some monks who come from famous temples or temples with incense friendship, Baoqing Temple does not accept any other monks.This is why Yuan Kong asked the old monk for a letter of introduction when he met him.

In addition, with the development of the times, the tourism industry has become increasingly popular.For ancient temples with a long history like Baoqing Temple, among the visitors every year, in addition to real pilgrims, there are also a large number of people who enter the temple purely for tourism. After entering the temple, these tourists will also buy incense and candles, and consume , donating incense money also brings a lot of income to the temple every year, so based on this, Baoqing Temple is also very concerned about its own tourism environment. I saw disheveled traveling monks staying around the temple. In order to protect the temple From the perspective of image, the monks responsible for picketing in the temple would usually come forward to drive him away, but this time, Mingtai drove the old monk out of this consideration.

However, despite all the calculations, I never imagined that the person being driven away was actually a "divine monk"!

"I went to the Discipline Hall to receive my punishment. I copied the Yuanming Sutra five hundred times and was banned for one month..."

Master Shanzhi finally sighed and waved his hand. Mingtai bowed as if he was being amnestied. Then he stood up carefully and limped out of the room. Looking at his bruised nose and face, it was obvious that he had fallen badly just now. light.
