Chapter 141 Jie Knife Gold

The sky is as clear as it is, and the sky is blue.

Su Yang was alone, holding a wooden stick in his hand and barely climbed the mountain. His chest and back were wet with sweat. He also wrinkled gray clothes that he was wearing. He gasped one after another and came to the door of Samantabhadra Temple.

Samantabhadra Temple is the largest Buddhist temple in a radius of dozens of miles. Su Yang saw yellow walls and green tiles from a distance. When he walked to the door, he felt even more magnificent. The door of the Buddhist temple was open, and he saw Maitreya Buddha, who was fat and big, and his smile was always open, and he was sitting at the door.

Stepping into the door, bypassing the Maitreya Buddha statue, behind it is a statue of Weituo, and then in front is a release pond. There are mostly carp in this release pond, but Su Yang also saw several turtles, biting a carp the size of a palm to death, and eating it at the place where the bridge pillar entered the water.

Su Yang stood on the foot bridge and looked at the entire Buddhist temple. From this, he entered. In the middle was a ginkgo tree that was about a thousand years old, on the left was the Arhat Hall, on the middle was the Samantabhadra Hall, on the left was the Medicine Buddha Hall, on the left was the Medicine Buddha Hall, and on the right were the ten major disciples of the Buddha, Ananda Kashyapa, etc.

Morning bells and evening drums are arranged at will.

The temple is empty, and Su Yang has entered the Buddhist temple and has never seen a monk who is a guest.

I've played it for you in vain...

After crossing the Release Bridge, I looked in the direction of the side door next to Suyang’s main hall. There was another courtyard there, and the door was covered with a faint door. Through the gap during the period, I saw several monks talking and laughing.

"What are you doing?"

When Su Yang was looking, someone shouted behind him. Looking back, he looked like a monk in his thirties. He was a wide-body and fat man, and his monk's robes were even fatter. He was wearing loose and loose. His tone was a bit fierce. At this time, his eyebrows were raised and he walked towards Su Yang.

"Amitabha."

Su Yang closed his hands and said, "Master, I'll come here to play."

The monk looked at Su Yang, looked up and down, and saw that Su Yang was sweating on his chest and back. He thought that Su Yang was not a person from the world, so he asked: "Just play, don't look around. There is a backyard there, which is the place where monks recite scriptures in our temple. Don't enter. After turning around, leave quickly. We don't care about food in our temple."

As he said that, the monk passed by Su Yang and walked towards the next courtyard with a sway.

"master."

Su Yang quickly stopped the monk and said with a smile: "I have a dry mouth and tongue that I have to touch my back when I climb the mountain. I hope you can do it for a convenience. If I allow me to have a meal here, I will definitely offer incense."

A handful of copper coins were grabbed from the purse and Su Yang stuffed them into the monk's hand.

The monk put the money in his hand, looked at Su Yang's bulging bag, smiled happily, and said, "It's not that we don't give it convenience. Recently, Qingyun Mountain City has caused a snake problem. The price of this rice is too expensive. It's hard enough to raise us monks in the temple. If the donor really want to use vegetarian food here, we can still provide a bowl of rice. Donor, please..."

The monk said, "I want to be a guide for Su Yang and take Su Yang to the Samantabhadra Hall in front."

“Wow wow wow wow…”

Just as he was about to enter the Samantabhadra Hall, Su Yang heard the crying of a baby in the next house, and couldn't help but look over there.

"When the snake was in trouble, many families were destroyed and the babies and children were left unattended. Our temple's master Chang'en was merciful and adopted children, and they were all in the Zen temple there."

The monk said to Su Yang, and then introduced Su Yang the overview of the Samantabhadra Temple.

There are 23 monks in this Samantabhadra Temple, divided into three generations. The top generation is always there, often take, often receive, often touch, often move, always grace. The middle generation is nothing, and the lower generation is empty. This enlightened monk with Su Yang is the middle generation, called Wuxian.

"The emergence of Samantabhadra Temple originated from 330 years ago. Three hundred and thirty years ago, there was a carving master. The statues carved were supernatural and vivid. Therefore, many people traveled thousands of miles to carve a Buddha statue from him. They invited him to their temple. There was a monk named Hong De who also went to the carving master to invite the statue of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. The statue of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva."

Wuxian said to Su Yang: "The mountain road is rugged and you cannot use a carriage. Master Hong De tied the statue of the god with a rope and carried it on his back. He walked step by step on the mountain. When he reached this ginkgo tree, Master Hong was so tired that he couldn't walk anymore, so he put the statue of the god and leaned on the ginkgo tree and fell asleep."

"In my dream, Master Hong met Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, who preached to him and explained the five flavors and hundreds of Buddhist teachings. After this dream, Master Hong saw that his knowledge had changed drastically and his body was exhausted. After waking up, Master Hong worshiped Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and intended to ask Samantabhadra Bodhisattva to continue on the road, the statue had already grown on the ground, and Master Hong also added bricks and tiles around the statue and established the Samantabhadra Temple."

Monk Wuxian told Su Yang about the origin of the Samantabhadra Temple and also about the supernatural nature of the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva Temple.

Su Yang looked at the statue of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva in the main hall. It was indeed just a stone statue, as high as a human, but this point was vivid and lively, as if it was natural, without any traces of axe.

"Amitabha."

Su Yang sincerely recited the Buddha's name to this stone statue.

"Uh-huh……"

Monk Wuxian said a few ummy words, put the copper coins in his hand into the box of merit and said, "This worship of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is not just about opening his mouth and chanting Buddha's name..."

This is all an explicit coin.

Su Yang picked up the purse and threw a handful of money in it.

"Amitabha."

Wuxian looked at Su Yang's ordinary clothes, but was so generous. He was even more attentive to Su Yang and brought Su Yang to the front of the Medicine Buddha again, claiming that all diseases could be avoided as long as he bowed to the Medicine Buddha.

As a doctor, Su Yang looked at the Buddha statue and endured it again and again, scattered a little in this merit box. Wu Xian took Su Yang to the next place again. The legend about the creation of Samantabhadra Temple should be true, and apart from this legend, Wu Xian said mostly far-fetchedly, so Su Yang cooperated to listen to a few sentences.

After walking around the entire Samantabhadra Temple, Su Yang followed Monk Wuxian and walked into the side courtyard.

There is also a courtyard in this side courtyard. Su Yang only has one kitchen and water well in this outer courtyard. Further inside is the place where the monks live, and this place is not open.

Leading by Wuxian, Su Yang entered the kitchen, which was just a bowl of porridge, a steamed bun, and a plate of pickles. This was considered a vegetarian food in Samantabhadra Temple.

"donor."

Monk Wuxian said, "After lunch, we will seal the temple here and we will not receive foreign guests. I hope the donor can cooperate."

"oh……"

Su Yang took a sip of the porridge and tasted the lard in the porridge.

After opening the tongue, Su Yang's tongue was extremely sensitive and could distinguish the taste. Even Yan Ruyu was able to repeat most of the steps when cooking. In this porridge, he should have used an iron pot to stir-fry dishes before. In this era, the greasy iron pot was a bit unclean after all, and this little abnormality made Su Yang taste it.

There are only Su Yang and Wuxian in the entire kitchen.

Su Yang looked at Wuxian, and when he picked up the bowls and chopsticks and had a meal, it was extremely difficult to swallow. He understood in his heart that these porridge, pickles and steamed buns were just for entertaining outsiders like Su Yang, and the monks ate something else.

"Why do you need to seal the temple when it is blue and white? "

Su Yang asked.

Monk Wuxian looked at Su Yang and realized that this was not bad for telling Su Yang. He said, "It was our uncle who was going to come back to preach us. This sutra belongs to the discussion in the Buddhist temple, not to be spoken outside, so the temple must be enshrined."

Uncle Master?

Su Yang calculates his seniority, this person should be the junior brother of Monk Shengci as Sha Fulin mentioned.

"Actually, I have another thing I want to ask to meet with the abbot of our temple."

Su Yang finished drinking the porridge and said to Monk Wuxian: "I beg the master to pass it on my behalf."

After the chat, I had some food, so it was time to talk about the main business.

"We are not available to host!"

Monk Wuxian said rudely that Su Yang's oil and water had almost been squeezed, and the remaining three walnuts and two dates were not allowed. This abbot of the host could not just ask for a meeting.

"What I want to say is..."

Su Yang was about to say something, and heard a movement at the side door, and then heard a bang. Su Yang, who was sitting in the kitchen for dinner, saw the door in the middle of the front yard being kicked away. With the door being kicked away, a man walked in from outside. He was thirty-six or seven years old, with a mature and handsome face, wearing a short-sleeved, a hat, and walking with a black wooden box in his hand.

This movement directly caused the monks of the Puxian Temple to run out. Su Yang calculated briefly. In addition to the monk Zhike, there were eighteen monks running out of it, all of whom were covered in oil. Looking at the man who broke in, some monks were already scolding.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Monk Wuxian walked forward, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to teach him a lesson if there was anything wrong.

"Book a knife!"

Feng Yuan opened the wooden box in his arms. The sky was blue and the sun was white. The gold inside the wooden box was dazzling. When he saw this, there were a hundred taels of gold. The gold was in front of him, which made the monks dazzled.

"Amitabha……"

Monk Wuxian's attitude changed drastically, and he looked at Feng Yuan and said, "Dare you ask what knife the donor bought?"

"Buy a ring knife with a broken blade!"

Feng Yuan looked at Monk Wuxian and said, "Ten years ago, on June 16th, I saw you playing with women in this Buddhist temple. Then you discovered me, so I ran down the mountain. When I ran home, Monk Changxing gave me a knife and a hundred taels of gold and asked me to choose one. At that time, I chose gold and left Qingyun Mountain. Now I took the hundred taels of gold and came to exchange that knife for it!"
