Chapter 412: But this is my home; how can I get such an advantage and give it to you?
For the vast majority of mortal monks, they are actually more humane.
Unless you have great perseverance, how can you compete with the temptations of the world?
This may be why many monks with profound spiritual practices are always in retreat, or often in deep mountains and old forests.
Except for living Buddhas like Daoji, most of those who have always appeared in the secular world still can't let go of the turmoil of this mortal world.
Even Fahai has always said that he is in the mortal world?
But both he and Daoji always have something they insist on in their hearts.
This is a uniquely human emotion, an experience that is difficult for immortals and Buddhas to experience.
Therefore, even though they have profound spiritual practices, they regard the righteousness of the Lingshan Mountain as nothing, and would rather be an ordinary monk in the world of mortals in the three realms.
The second lady had obviously never seen a monk with such firm faith as Master Tripitaka, so she had inappropriate thoughts;
And this Voss has been hanging out in a place where fish and dragons are mixed, and he has seen mostly dirty things.
Therefore, the second lady did not believe that she could not achieve good things with Master Tripitaka; and Voss was naturally convinced that the second lady of the Kou family had conspired with the monk of the Tang Dynasty.
It can be seen that even at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, this pure place of Buddhism seems to have a lot of scandals.
The junior brothers also found it boring after hearing this. Xiao Bailong sighed: "No wonder the emperor of Tianzhu has always disliked the Buddhist temples in the country and wants to reform them. Now he wants to introduce Confucianism into Tianzhu. I am afraid that this is Tianzhu."
The peaceful days will not last long."
Once it rises to the level of national politics and involves religious beliefs, even if it is dominated by the emperor of a country, a huge storm will inevitably happen.
As for what the outcome will be, we still have no idea.
After all, Buddhism in Tianzhu is not like China. Buddhism is deeply rooted here, just like Confucianism is in China.
"Voss, it's getting late, you'd better leave first." Julia knew that the second lady was in the meditation room, and the meditation room was actually not far from her attic. The second lady would have to pass by when she was going back later.
She is here. If she really catches him and goes back to Voss privately, I'm afraid he will make a big fuss.
The stepmother kept her father secret so much that she couldn't listen to her words at all. One of the reasons why the two brothers left home to study was to avoid the stepmother, out of sight and out of mind.
"Wait a minute." Voss stood still and said, "I have something to tell you, and I'll leave after I finish speaking."
"Then you have to hurry up." Julia said, "I'm afraid my stepmother won't stay with Master Tripitaka for too long."
Although what Voss said was exaggerated, Julia was not without brains. Even if the second lady really had that intention, I am afraid Master Tripitaka would not give her this chance.
Although she has not met Master Tripitaka yet, Master Tripitaka's reputation has long been spread throughout Tianzhu, and he should be different from those sanctimonious people who deceive the world and steal their reputation.
Buddhist discussions often happen, and it's not like she has never seen them before.
In the past, those monks would never admit defeat even if they failed to argue the Dharma or the scriptures. They would even slander their opponents in private and break out some shocking information.
She also loved hearing stories like this back then.
But what about now?
Those eminent monks in Buddhist temples who discussed Buddhism with Master Tripitaka did not simply fall behind, but lost completely.
But what were the rumors next?
It was they who were so sincerely convinced by Master Tripitaka that they were willing to submit to him, believing that Master Tripitaka was indeed a distinguished monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
It is not a shame to lose to Master Tripitaka. What is shameful is those who are not qualified to discuss Buddhism with Master Tripitaka.
Because there is also a rumor that Master Tripitaka only seeks eminent monks to discuss Buddhism, so those who have not been approached by Master Tripitaka naturally can’t sit still. Everyone rushes slowly, wishing to have their face in Master Tripitaka’s hands in person.
As the saying goes, real eminent monks don’t actually value these false names.
"Speak quickly." Julia urged him.
"Julia, let's go, let's go together."
Voss's words were also shocking, and even Julia was startled. She subconsciously asked: "Let's go? Where are we going?"
"As long as the two of us are together, where would it be better than here?"
Julia was silent for a few breaths before slowly speaking, "But this is my home."
She is not a young woman who has been carried away by love. On the contrary, she has actually inherited the shrewd mind of her deceased mother, but she has not been deeply involved in the matter. In addition, the second lady is now very powerful in the house, so she also
I don't want to see these two ladies all day long.
Out of sight and out of mind, I live alone in the attic here.
This attic turned out to be her mother's library, and it contained many of her mother's books.
Voss was a wild boy. When he heard that Julia was unwilling to leave with him, he immediately felt impatient and said directly: "You are mine! Your father refuses to acknowledge me, are you also ruthless and unjust?"
What?"
"No, Voss." Julia suddenly became serious, "I'm not yours yet, but I also want you to know that I still acknowledge the marriage between the two of us, and I will find a way to get my father to agree to this matter. I
I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious yet."
As soon as Julia finished speaking, she heard footsteps not far away. Julia immediately said: "Voss, let's go quickly, someone is coming."
Although Voss was reluctant, he still reluctantly left. When he said goodbye, he only left one sentence: "I will come again."
But before he could take a few steps, he was caught by Xiao Bailong.
"Who are you? Who are you?!"
His voice was loud, but it couldn't be heard at all. Naturally, the Great Sage and the others couldn't do such rough work.
"Boy, be honest." Xiao Bailong glared at him.
Just because of what he said slandering his master, Xiao Bailong didn't have any good impressions of him. If it hadn't been for the special instruction from the senior brother, he would have been given a thorough understanding of what Tang Buddhism is today.
Only then did Voss see the faces of these people clearly and exclaimed: "Ah, it's you!"
"It seems you have recognized us." The Great Sage walked up to him with a stern look on his face: "Boy, tell me honestly, what are your intentions when you enter the Kou Mansion at night?"
Voss bit back: "You are the ones. Since you are a guest of the Kou Mansion, why are you staying uneasily in the Zen room and hiding here? Could it be that you moved it for your master?"
Before Vos finished speaking, he felt the three murderous auras instantly envelope him. His hair suddenly went down. Not only was he unable to say the next words, but he almost bit off his tongue.
Although the words were not spoken, Voss was convinced in his heart that it was the second lady and Monk Tang who were living alone, and they, the disciples, came here in the middle of the night to avoid suspicion.
But just after this thought came to an end, he saw a woman walking in the direction he was running to. Who could she be if she wasn't the second lady of the Kou Mansion?
She didn't stay in the meditation room?
Then I saw Julia and the second lady meeting face to face as they were about to return to the attic, and I felt nervous at that moment.
"Hey, Julia -" The second lady, who was originally in a bad mood, did not expect to meet Julia here. She was not resting in the attic in the middle of the night, but she was humming here. She must have had a private meeting with her lover.
Little goblin.
Neither of the two women is a fuel-efficient lamp. The second wife is more experienced. Although she has not grasped the current situation, it does not matter.
This little hoof and that wild boy from Voss obviously had an old relationship. Maybe they heard his footsteps and ran away first.
When the second lady saw Julia's cold expression, she didn't care. She just asked angrily: "Aren't you asleep yet?"
Julia already knew the whereabouts of the second lady from Voss, and she chuckled and said, "Aren't you asleep too?"
The tone was slightly contemptuous.
Although these two ladies married into the Kou Mansion, they had nothing to do with it. The four brothers and sisters were born to the eldest lady of the Kou Mansion. They were never close to her, the stepmother.
The second lady was used to this, and she had never counted on these little ones, especially the Julia in front of her.
"I just saw a figure passing by, who are you talking to?"
"Is that so? You must have lost your eyesight." Julia spoke up against her stepmother, and she was not soft at all. "It's you who stayed up in the middle of the night, but you ran here. Be careful that people see you."
"What did you say?"
"You know exactly what I'm saying." Julia took a step forward. Taking advantage of her tallness, she pressed the second lady's head, forcing her step by step to the edge of the fence, and said coldly: "Also, this is
My family, you have nothing to do with what I do in my family, so you should stay out of my business."
After saying that, Julia snorted coldly and turned away directly.
"snort!"
The second lady looked at Julia's leaving figure and immediately snorted coldly: "Young lady, your wings are so stiff that you dare to talk back to me."
The second lady didn't stay here too long. She always felt that there was something in Julia's words, and it was obviously about herself.
However, this girl is really not a good person. Relying on the love of her father and brother, she has always acted unscrupulously in the house, especially against herself. When she was separated from the wild boy Vos, it was obviously out of revenge.
"Tsk"
After the second lady left, the Great Sage looked at Voss beside him and said, "I really don't see what's so special about your boy that you can win the favor of the daughter of the Kou family."
Xiao Bailong also laughed and said: "Because he has no face, no skin, no money, and no fixed place to live, he wants to let people follow him to travel around the world and call him home all over the world."
Wu Jing also said in a low voice, "Don't be ashamed."
"You monks, do you know what love is?" Voss was obviously dissatisfied, "You are not allowed to insult the relationship between the two of us."
"Love? Don't open your mouth and keep talking about these empty words. It's not that I, the old sun, are talking about you." The great sage asked him: "I'm just asking you. If she really follows you, what can you give her? If I, the old sun, didn't say it
Wrong, you can’t even take care of yourself, right?”
Watson was silent for a moment because he didn't know what to say. After a long time, he slowly said: "It's better than being locked in this cage. Come with me. I can give her freedom and don't have to see the stepmother."
face."
"Do you believe this?" Xiao Bailong folded his arms and looked at the young man condescendingly, "It's not like you didn't see the scene just now. Based on her status as the daughter of the Kou family, do you think her stepmother is serious?
Can you restrain her if you can? Even if it is as you said, she has no freedom in the Kou mansion, but she puts aside the wealth and wealth in front of her and goes through hard times with you. People have made sacrifices for your love, and yours?
With just a few empty words, you want to trick that girl into following you?"
"How can you find such an advantage in the world?"
This is one of the reasons why Xiao Bailong wanted to capture this kid.
This boy's nature is not bad. If he is left alone, he may make mistakes in the future. Now that he has encountered it, he will be caught and given a correct view.
It was also when they met that Julia was more assertive and didn't lose her head after listening to a few words from him. If the two of them really formed a good relationship in the future, it was unclear who would control whom.
Voss is numb.
He was actually preached by a group of monks about his "love" with Julia, but he heard that what they said was true and reasonable, and they spoke every word from the bottom of their hearts.
Yes, why?
Voss, who was still resisting at first, couldn't help but lower his head and began to reflect on what he had just said.
"Please give me some advice from the elders."
"Amitabha." The Great Sage imitated the Master and recited the Buddha's name, "Even though you have many shortcomings, this is the only one. The rest can be remedied by yourself."
"What is it?"
The Great Sage pointed to his heart: "Of course it's your sincerity."
Seeing that the master wanted to lead the two ladies to the right path, several of their disciples set their sights on this melon boy. Although they met by chance, it was not a wasted trip. Staying in the Kou Mansion all day long was boring.
This guy must know exactly what good places there are in Tongtai Mansion, so he can be a guide.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It will take you seven or eight days to live in this Kou Mansion.
It took a long time to decide on the twenty-four monks who should be the Buddhist monks. Originally, many monks were unwilling to come, but when they heard that Master Tripitaka was co-organizing this consummation monastery, many monks, big and small, refused to invite them.
Come naturally.
There are many famous monks from this province and those who travel throughout the region.
Because there were too many monks coming, everyone wanted to do it with Master Tripitaka. They almost got into a fight because they were competing for places.
In the past few days, the second lady also went to look for Fahai several times, but she always came in the mood and left in despair. Facing the insufferable Master Sanzang, she used many tricks, but she couldn't seduce him.
Master Tripitaka’s Zen mind.
On the contrary, why have you started reading Buddhist scriptures?
The second lady looked at a Buddhist scripture given by Master Tripitaka and had already read half of it before she realized something was wrong.
Voss can be said to be full of energy these days, and he has become more and more mature. After being taught by several elders, he understood that he must not continue to hang out like this, otherwise, even if Julia marries him in the future, he will never be able to give her anything.
happiness.
housekeeper.
In the past few days, the housekeeper suddenly found that he had become a marginalized figure. He was not used in the whole process of running the Perfection Dojo in the mansion.
The second lady, who had given him some kind of response in the past, was even more indifferent to him these days, and only focused her heart on the monk. If he hadn't been deeply implicated, otherwise he would have wanted to go to the master to deal with her.
He reported it.
Miss Julia, on the other hand, has appeared frequently in the past few days, and even helped his father prepare for the Perfect Dojo. The projects she was responsible for were done in an orderly manner, which impressed Kou.
The monks wrote for three or four days, then selected a good time to start the Buddhist service——
Flags are raised, golden flags are laid; candles are held together, incense is burned and offerings are made. Drums are beaten, cymbals are played, shengs are played and pipes are played. Gongs are played in the clouds, and the sound of the horizontal flute is clear. Beat it once, blow it once, and speak loudly in unison to open the sutra collection.
Land, this time invited the gods and generals. Documents were issued and worshiped at the Buddha statue.
Then Master Sanzang was invited to give a lecture. Officials and people in Tongtai Prefecture and surrounding counties knew that Master Sanzang was giving a lecture today, so they came early to occupy seats and there was a lot of excitement.
Master Tripitaka taught some lectures on the Peacock Sutra, the Medicine Master Sutra and the Avatamsaka Sutra. One sutra was taught for one day and one night. After three full days and nights, it was considered a successful conclusion.
But the people obviously still have more to say. How many years has it been since an eminent monk preached like this?
Even the lectures on the sutras obviously cannot be as profound and simple as Master Tripitaka, so that ordinary people like them can understand the deep meanings in the sutras.
"Amitabha." After finishing the sermon and completing the monastery, Fa Hai was about to say goodbye: "The poor monk has been harassing me for many days. Now that the monastery is over, it's time to hit the road to Lingshan Mountain."
