With the cessation of my memory, I put the scriptures on the table and didn't get the answer to master's disappearance.
However, in this incomplete memory, the last words of the old man, including two key points, make me remember particularly deeply.
First, it should be a Dharma to seize and give up the divine consciousness to continue life. It doesn't exist in the yuan God, only soul searching, soul breaking, memory condensation, sound transmission, wisdom wiping, etc.
Second, do not let each other succeed. I thought that this should be an ancient thing a long time ago. Was that young man comparable to Luo Tian at that time?
After thinking for a long time, the triple confusion formed a cloud of doubt. The disappearance of master for no reason, the loss of divine consciousness, the renewal of life and the unity of Tao lingered in my mind.
Finally, abbot CI Cheng woke me up, handed over the Scriptures that originally belonged to me and said, "since this is left to you by Uncle Shi, it's not convenient for us to take it away. I just hope that the rest of the Scriptures copied by Uncle Shi can't be passed on. After all, this is a treasure."
"That's nature. Don't worry, abbot." I nodded affectably, picked up the Scriptures and stuffed them into my arms. My heart said that these monks are not in the world of mortals. How can I know the changes of the external pattern? I must take out this body training Sutra for everyone to practice.
Abbot CI Cheng smiled happily and showed great enthusiasm. He just asked me to stay for a few days.
Unable to resist the enthusiasm, and having stayed in the Li family for a long time, I simply agreed to stay in the temple for a few days.
...
The next morning.
After eating the fast food in the temple, Liu Ming saw that things had been done, so he took me wandering in Song Mountain and enjoyed the scenery everywhere.
Monk Deshan also followed in civilian clothes, accompanied by a smiling face, as if he was afraid of my revenge on him. He worked hard in front of me. Wherever tourists have to queue up, he immediately misappropriated his identity and did not intend to queue up.
But I still followed the rules and lined up with a large number of passengers.
The virtuous monk was very impatient, but he didn't dare to urge me. He took out a packet of cigarettes from his pocket and handed me one, "little martial uncle, come on, smoke."
I raised my eyebrows and didn't take his cigarette. Instead, I asked, "can monks still smoke now?"
"Oh, the world is forced, the world is forced. There are many people here. Don't smoke virtue and goodness. Just smoke, little martial uncle." The virtuous monk smiled awkwardly.
When Liu understood him, he scolded softly, "a fake monk and a senior monk. Fortunately, you wear civilian clothes, otherwise the reputation of the temple will be ruined by you."
"Put your cigarette away. Judging from your performance, you are not a real Buddhist disciple at all, but it's a matter of your temple and has nothing to do with me. I'll go down the mountain in a few days." I turned my head and continued to line up.
Deshan was even more embarrassed by me. He didn't say a word all the way and lined up with me silently.
After visiting several scenic spots that day, it was evening when I returned to the temple.
Abbot CI Cheng prepared a table of vegetarian food and invited Liu Ming and me to a table for warm hospitality.
The virtuous monk pretended to be serious, and there was a smell of smoke in his mouth. He didn't dare to speak in front of Abbot CI Cheng.
Halfway through the meal, abbot CI Cheng suddenly put down his chopsticks, looked deeply at the virtuous monk and asked, "junior brother virtuous, have you broken the precepts?"
"No... No." The virtuous monk looked guilty.
Abbot CI Cheng sighed lightly, "you have a bad mind. Elder martial brother, I have been helping you. How can you not see through my cultivation? Now, little martial uncle is here, you still do this kind of thing, I really... "
I narrowed my eyes and didn't interrupt. I secretly said that Abbot Cicheng was indeed a cultivator.
The virtuous monk was so frightened that he couldn't even hold his chopsticks. He knelt at the feet of Abbot CI Cheng in public and begged for mercy: "elder martial brother, virtuous monk broke the precept. Virtuous monk admits his mistake and asks elder martial brother to punish him."
"How many times have I punished you secretly? Have you ever had a memory? When little martial uncle came, you didn't even have evidence. You slandered little martial uncle for stealing and belittled the taboo of martial uncle. The so-called Dead is the greatest. Is that right? " Abbot CI Cheng looked a little angry.
The virtuous monk dared not answer.
Several martial brothers around him helped persuade Abbot CI Cheng in unison. They looked very emotional.
As a result, abbot CI Cheng still refused and said, "virtue and kindness, you can go down the mountain with little martial uncle this time. If you follow little martial uncle, you may correct your mind. Senior brother can't help you. Maybe little martial uncle can."
"No, never, I can't stand it." I was stunned for a moment and quickly wiped my mouth. I thought to the abbot, you can't control yourself. Why did you throw this man to me?
"Little martial uncle, you can stand it. Why can't you? You are a martial uncle. Virtue and kindness are your martial nephew. As an elder, why is it difficult for you to exercise your mind in the world of mortals? Besides, little martial uncle, can you come in person on behalf of yinmen? I'm afraid your cultivation is quite difficult? I'm afraid I can't compare with you, martial uncle. " Abbot CI Cheng suddenly smiled like an old fox.
I heard the corners of my mouth twitch. The virtuous monk is 60 years old. How can the abbot say that I am an elder? The abbot is definitely making some wishful thinking.
Before I could refuse, the abbot suddenly became serious and scolded: "virtue and kindness, kowtow to your martial uncle quickly. The little temple of senior brother can't accommodate you. In the future, you will follow your martial uncle to be a man and change your nonsense character."
Monk de Shan immediately turned around and kowtowed to me without even thinking about it.
Where can I stand it? He quickly picked him up, stared at the abbot and asked, "is this a first cut and then a second play? Abbot, abbot, didn't you send virtue and kindness to monitor me? I'm afraid the body refining Scripture will be spread? If you do so, you won't trust me. "
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough Said the abbot.
I don't even believe this. The abbot must be bullshit and flattering me.
Then the abbot coughed, covered up his embarrassment, and said, "martial uncle, you've been thinking too much. I really can't change my virtue and kindness. Just take him down the mountain to see the world, or let me be at ease."
Peace of mind? Are you lazy?
The abbot is so cunning that he threw the burden of monk de Shan to me.
As soon as I frowned, I refused, "no..."
Before he finished, the abbot immediately interrupted, stared at the virtuous monk and said, "come on, continue kowtowing to your martial uncle. I want to make my own opinion and let you turn to martial uncle and worship him as a teacher. From now on, virtuous monk, you have to call master!"
"Virtue and kindness, after going down the mountain, elder martial brother can't take care of you anymore. Elder martial brother, everything is for your sake. Don't live up to elder martial brother's hard work. Elder martial uncle is so powerful. I'm really relieved this time. Ha ha ha."
"I would like to follow my elder martial brother's words. I am virtuous and have seen my master." Monk de Shan heard that he kowtowed and called me master.
My face is green. How can anyone force people to take apprentices? Or an apprentice dozens of years older than me? If you take it out, who is the apprentice!
