Is the Supreme Elder of Jialan Temple almost as good as Master Ye? How could Shen Fengshu let such a senior condescend to come to him? Of course he took the initiative to visit him.
This attitude also made Elder Zhike very satisfied.
It seems that as long as everyone treats each other with courtesy, Shen Tanhua has never disappointed anyone in her treatment of others.
Because Zen Master Benyin only invited Shen Fengshu, Ding Jian went directly to the world of satisfaction and met with Jiang Laotou Shan, Lao Tou Long Jian Xin and the others. He hadn’t seen each other for such a long time, so he just found these experts with enough weight to challenge him. Attack it and see how much progress you have made.
Following Elder Zhike, Shen Fengshu rushed to another hilltop. Elder Zhike's flying magic weapon flew fast enough, easily exceeding twice the speed of sound, and it was effortless to carry Shen Fengshu with him.
It must be said that some eminent monks in Buddhism really don't care about external enjoyments. It is obvious that the Supreme Elder's status is respected. However, on the top of the mountain where Zen Master Benyin is located, there is only a cave less than two feet deep, and the entrance of the cave is not even covered. , there is a wooden Buddha statue carved by himself, and a straw futon with a wooden fish in front, but nothing else.
To be disrespectful, there is not even an incense burner in front of the Buddha statue. I don’t know how Zen Master Benyin usually puts incense on the Buddha statue.
Compared with the luxury of Shi Haichang, Zen Master Benyin has the image of a virtuous and eminent monk at a glance.
Wearing a simple gray monk's robe with several patches on it, it was so simple that Shen Fengshu was speechless for a while.
But it was the string of Buddhist beads hanging around Zen Master Benyin's neck and the string of rosary beads in his hand that made Shen Fengshu salivate. I don't know what kind of material those beads were made of, and they were full and shiny. I don't know how long I had worn them. Extraordinary.
"Shen Tanhua, your own rosary is extraordinary at first glance, why do you have to care about the old monk's string of mundane things?" When they met, Zen Master Benyin saw Shen Fengshu's eyes and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Sorry, sorry!" Shen Fengshu didn't expect that the dignified Supreme Elder would say this when he opened his mouth. He was so embarrassed that he laughed at himself: "I'm used to it! I'm short-sighted and can't see good things."
Elder Zhike had quietly retreated, leaving only Zen Master Benyin and Shen Fengshu on the mountain.
"I have always heard that Shen Tanhua is generous and generous, and has a lot of fine wine. Are you lucky enough to have a taste of it today?" Zen Master Benyin laughed off Shen Fengshu's self-deprecation and did not take it seriously at all. If the person in front of me is short-sighted, there are probably not many people in the world. Deep.
Shen Fengshu did not expect that the dignified elder of Jialan Temple would directly ask for a drink when they met. It was really unexpected. However, Shen Fengshu also reacted instantly: "Master invites you, I don't respect you, a few drinks." If you have water and wine, you should be filial to me as a young boy."
Just as he was about to get some of Shi Haichang's Buddhist plain wine, Shen Fengshu's heart moved, and by some strange mistake, he did not use the Buddhist plain wine, but instead took out the Zui Sheng Meng Shi Bao Ginseng wine that everyone usually drank the most.
Not only was it good wine, Shen Fengshu also made a low table and two futons, one person could sit on each side. Otherwise, there wouldn't even be a place to sit in this simple cave.
"I'm drinking like this, it's a bit of a violation of my precepts." Sitting generously next to Shen Fengshu, picking up the wine that had been poured, Zen Master Benyin suddenly asked: "Shen Tanhua might as well find a reason for me."
She broke the precepts by drinking, and she still needed Shen Fengshu to find a reason? Shen Fengshu had never seen such a rogue monk. However, the man in front of him did not dare to neglect. Without saying a word, Shen Fengshu came up with the famous saying of Jigong Living Buddha: " The wine and meat passed through the intestines, but remained in the heart of the Buddha."
Zen Master Benyin originally thought that Shen Fengshu would think about it for a while, but he didn't expect that Shen Fengshu would blurt it out. After thinking about it carefully, he was filled with the wisdom of Buddha-nature and Zen, which made his mind clear and his thoughts clear. It was really what he wanted.
"It's so good that after the food and wine passed through the intestines, the Buddha stayed in his heart." Zen Master Benyin praised: "No wonder the monks who have seen Shen Tanhua say that Shen Tanhua is born with Buddha nature, and she is indeed worthy of her reputation. Cheers!"
Shen Fengshu obediently drank with her.
It can be seen that this is indeed the first time for Zen Master Benyin to drink alcohol, and the unfamiliarity is very obvious when he tastes the taste.
Shen Fengshu couldn't help but feel flattered. This was the supreme elder of Jialan Temple. He was at least in the Bodhisattva realm, and possibly even in the Buddha realm. He could be compared to the Taoist saint-level masters. He never drank alcohol in his life. Because of his reputation, for the first time It is simply unbelievable that he would ask for a drink and have sex with him when they meet.
This also made Shen Fengshu become more cautious. He was just giving face like this, and he didn't know what excessive demands he would make next.
"The separation of life and death, if it is not reconciled by this great tonic medicine, it can only be regarded as a half-baked job." Although Zen Master Benyin drank for the first time, he immediately discovered the shortcomings of drunkenness, dreams and death in one sip: "People who make wine are not cultivated enough. Home!"
Only these saint-level masters would not take the quasi-sage Lu Mingcheng seriously and comment so harshly on his lack of cultivation. You must know that Lu Mingcheng can be regarded as the best among the quasi-sages.
After three cups of drunkenness, Zen Master Benyin put down his wine glass and stopped touching it. Shen Fengshu didn't have the habit of persuading people to drink, so he directly put away the wine and replaced it with Eight Treasures Immortal Tea.
"With this wine and tea, Shen Tanhua is truly worthy of her reputation." Zen Master Benyin felt more and more appetizing this time and sighed directly.
"This junior only has so many hobbies." Shen Fengshu said modestly: "What a beautiful woman, good wine, and good food. I am just a layman. I wonder if the Zen master invites me, what are your instructions?"
It's time to get down to business.
"For a 'layman' like you, I wish I could have more of you." Zen Master Benyin smiled and said directly, "There are a few things."
It wouldn't be strange, it would be strange if nothing happened after calling someone over.
"This first one is, of course, thanks to Elder Shen for passing down the Heart Sutra, which gave my Buddhist disciples an additional way to practice." Zen Master Benyin said with a smile, and the name Shen Fengshu was changed from Shen Tanhua to Elder Shen.
"I am ashamed of myself!" Shen Fengshu hurriedly declined: "I am ashamed to accept this guest elder. I would like to ask the master to take back his life."
I wanted to refuse, but Zen Master Benyin came up and offered me a gift of thanks. How could Shen Fengshu dare to accept it?
"Such a cause and effect, if it weren't for this, how could Jialan Temple be able to bear it?" Zen Master Benyin said with a faint smile.
The Heart Sutra involves too much, such a huge cause and effect, if Jialan Temple doesn't express the slightest, then it will be a real disaster. Shen Fengshu wants to shirk it, why isn't Jialan Temple trying every means to repay the cause and effect?
Zen Master Benyin didn’t know when a small pure bottle appeared in his hands, and he gently placed it in front of Shen Fengshu: “This pure bottle is a relic left by an elder of our temple who ascended to heaven. There is no one in our temple. It’s worthy, so it’s better to give it to Elder Shen as a gift from our temple.”
Shen Fengshu waved his hands repeatedly. He didn't even want the name of the guest elder, let alone accept this purification bottle, which was a super magic weapon left by the ascended senior. Wouldn't that run counter to his original intention? Taking others with short hands and eating people's mouths Damn, is this purification bottle so easy to hold?
But Shen Fengshu also understood that the cause and effect of the Heart Sutra was too great. Zen Master Benyin's words were not empty words. In just a moment, Shen Fengshu made a decision.
"How can the young man He De dare to take the purifying bottle left by his ancestors as his own?" Shen Fengshu politely refused the purifying vase and reached out to take off the Yichen beads on his bracelet: "If the master insists on repaying the karma, , Master, it’s enough for me to bless this bead with the Great Ming Mantra.”
Master Benyin looked at Shen Fengshu's eyes very seriously, as if he could see Shen Fengshu's persistence. He was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slowly: "Yes!"
"But..." Zen Master Benyin paused for a moment before continuing: "I alone can't pay for this huge cause and effect. Elder Shen will stay for a few more days. Our temple will hold a ritual ceremony and gather all the monks in the temple to give blessings." .”
Shen Fengshu was startled, and finally nodded slowly. It is better to bless the Yichen Bead a few more times than to get an unfamiliar purification bottle. What's more, this is not just a matter of blessing it a few times. In addition, the purification bottle is the ascended Buddha. I don’t know how many people were watching the magic weapon left behind, but Shen Fengshu didn’t want people to think about it.
Every Buddhist disciple practices the Heart Sutra. Zen Master Benyin alone cannot repay the cause and effect of the whole temple, but the collective blessing of the whole temple is nothing more than mobilizing the Buddha's power all at once, but it can barely equal the cause and effect. Anyway, in the future, as long as you practice practice In the Heart Sutra, there will always be merit attributed to Shen Fengshu. If you can't pay it back over time, you can pay it back slowly in the future.
It can be said that Shen Fengshu's operation is acceptable to both parties and does not leave too many hidden dangers. It is the best of both worlds.
Win-win!
Shen Fengshu did not forcefully continue the matter of rejecting the Keqing elder in front of Zen Master Benyin. That would have been rude and could easily be misunderstood as targeting Jialan Temple. It would be better to find a tactful excuse in the future to resign the "Keqing elder" from all Buddhist temples in Buddhism. "Bar.
"The second thing is related to Yichen." Zen Master Benyin arranged the thank you and started talking about the second thing.
Shen Fengshu immediately became cautious. Yichen was a friend, so nothing could happen to him.
"You originally passed the Heart Sutra to Yichen, right?" Zen Master Benyin asked.
"That's right!" Many people saw this happening at the scene, and Shen Fengshu nodded directly to admit it.
"This is the trouble." Zen Master Benyin sighed and said, "You know the importance of the Heart Sutra. In the original Heart Sutra, I don't know how many monks would be jealous."
Shen Fengshu's heart skipped a beat, as the most undesirable situation occurred.
At that time, Shen Fengshu wanted to bring the greatest benefit to Yichen. In addition to changing the "relic" to "Yichen" in the Heart Sutra, so that everyone who chanted the Heart Sutra would bless Yichen, Shen Fengshu also The original Heart Sutra was moved directly to Yichen's body, so that the Heart Sutra is just a dust, and the dust is the Heart Sutra.
Obviously, this move brought incomparable benefits to Yichen. But it also brought great consequences, that is, at this moment, Zen Master Benyin was worried that there would be monks who wanted to change the original intention of the Heart Sutra.
But not only the Buddhist disciples are tempted, but also the monks of Daomen Shenmen Academy. Not to mention that Shen Tanhua has a Great Ming Mantra in his hand that has been blessed by thousands of eminent monks. How strong is his luck? Then if it were replaced by Is it the original version of the Heart Sutra that inspired the Ming Dynasty Mantra?
Maybe at a certain bottleneck, if you have the protection of the Heart Sutra, you can get through it easily!
The young monk Yichen may have to face dangers that are thousands of times greater than usual.
All of this stemmed from Shen Fengshu's one thought at that time.
