Chapter 12: Dalongxing Temple (2)

Hongzhi welcomed Zhu Yinglong and others into Zhike Hall in Dalongxing Temple.

After ordering the little novice monk to present the incense tea, Hongzhi said: "This temple has not been here for nearly a hundred years for distinguished guests like the donor. Now that the donor arrives, it is not only the fate between the donor and the temple, but also the opportunity for the revival of the temple."

"Master Abbot, what do you say?" The old monk said it was mysterious as soon as he came up. Zhu Yinglong really didn't understand for a moment.

"When Emperor Taizu of this dynasty was young, he had practiced in the predecessor of our temple, Huangjue Temple, the predecessor of our temple. Today, the donor returned to our temple. The portrait of Taizu suddenly picked up his beard and smiled. He must be happy that the donor came. Doesn't all this indicate the future of this donor? This temple will also be filled with great light." Hongzhi smiled with a slightly eager look.

Although it is said that monks have no desires or desires, in Zhu Yinglong's opinion, this is simply not true. If a person lives in this world, he has no desire at all. He is not only a walking corpse, and monks also have desires. They also have to recite scriptures and worship Buddha. All four elements are empty and they must abide by the rules and regulations. In his opinion, this is also a desire, but they are just opposite to ordinary people. Even monks like Hongzhi can be considered as all four elements are empty and have seen through everything. But when they say that the Tao can revitalize the temple, there is still a hint of enthusiasm in their eyes. Isn't this desire?

"Are I really the King of Revival?" Zhu Yinglong felt fun. Anyway, whenever there were outsiders in the Zhike Hall, Hongzhi knew his identity, so he simply let go.

"I dare not speak nonsense, but the emperor is already in a dragon and tiger posture, and his eyes are so sharp and righteous. He is really a rare wise king." Hongzhi said seriously.

"Okay, okay, Master, I'm a little embarrassed when you praise me like this." Zhu Yinglong smiled and picked up the fragrant tea on his side and sniffed it.

"Master Abbot, this tea?" Zhu Yinglong frowned because he found that the tea smelled fragrant, but it was extremely bitter when he drank it. After sucking it, he thought it was bitter first and then sweet. He knew it was even more bitter, just like eating yellow lotus, his mouth full of bitterness.

Zhuoba and others also thought that something was wrong with the tea, so they all took the tea cup and their faces remained unchanged. However, they could not be rude in front of others, so they all drank it.

"Your Majesty, this tea is called Kudeng, which is planted by monks in this temple. It can clear the lungs and eyes, and refresh the spirit. It is slightly bitter in the mouth. After drinking it, the bitter taste gradually increases, comparable to the yellow lotus. However, after the bitterness, after a period of time, the tongue will be sweet and the teeth and cheeks will remain fragrant. It will not dissipate for a long time. It means that the suffering of suffering can only become a superior person!" Hongzhi Heshi said.

Hongzhi reminded himself in disguise. If someone else said this to him, Zhu Yinglong would definitely have a good face. However, a monk like Hongzhi, coupled with his indescribable intimacy with the Dalongxing Temple, naturally accepted it humbly.

Hongzhi was not displeased when he saw Zhu Yinglong and smiled. He also felt that his words just now were a bit rude. Although they were tea, the meaning was the person. He hurriedly said, "I'm just talking nonsense, please forgive me!"

"Master, right, I should have more people like Masters around me, how good it would be to remind me at any time!" Zhu Yinglong said sincerely. In a high position, he will inevitably forget his original duty. He has the intention of rebelling against him. A powerful dynasty cannot do without a clan minister, and it is impossible without a capable minister, and it is impossible without a treacherous minister.

"It is really a blessing for all people and the world!" Hongzhi said with a smile.

Next, Hongzhi personally took Zhu Yinglong to visit the buildings in the temple one by one, and walked all the way from the Main Hall to the Heavenly King Hall.
