Chapter 48 Even the old master was knocked unconscious by me, so why not hit the bald donkey again?
style.
This was Lin Ye's impression of the old monk wearing cassocks in front of him.
This is the scene a temple abbot should have.
"Amitabha, the old monk already knows the purpose of your visit. Please come with me."
The old monk made an invitation gesture towards Lin Ye, followed by a group of monks, walking towards the backyard of the temple. The believers who saw him along the way gave way to him.
On the way, Lin Ye also knew the identity of the old monk. As he expected, the old monk was the abbot of Miaoying Temple, with the Buddhist name Yinguang.
When I made the move, it was three hundred taels, which now translates to several million. It would be normal to alarm the abbot.
When they arrived at the backyard, the many monks who followed them dispersed, and a young novice once again offered fragrant tea.
"Master, do you know why I am here?"
Taking a sip of tea, the tea was fragrant and left a fragrance in his mouth. Lin Ye compared it and found that it was much better than the old tea.
"The young master is contaminated with the spirit of ghosts, so it seems that he is haunted by evil spirits. However, the old monk believes that the young master has strong vitality and blood, so he must be accompanied by martial arts. The evil spirits can't do anything to the young master."
Lin Ye looked solemn. From the moment he entered Miaoying Temple, he had doubts about whether the monks in Miaoying Temple had real abilities.
As a modern person, he could see at a glance the way Miaoying Temple operates.
The Zhike monk was enthusiastic about me because he saw that he was a rich man. No one paid any attention to him in the Gongde Hall later. When he donated three hundred taels, the abbot personally greeted him. All this shows that the monks of Miaoying Temple are all wealthy people.
Falling into the eyes of money.
How could such a temple have real monks?
It's just that after all, three hundred taels of silver is nothing to him. Just look at the happy expressions of these monks after seeing the huge sum of money.
Lin Ye didn't expect that this abbot actually had real abilities.
Not only can he see that he is practicing martial arts, but he can also see that he is entangled with evil spirits.
"Master, you have good eyesight. I did encounter an evil ghost recently."
Lin Ye briefly explained the situation, saying that because of the injustice of the fight, an evil ghost had taken care of him.
"Master Lin has a chivalrous heart, and the old monk admires him." Abbot Yin Guang praised him, and then said: "Evil ghosts are causing trouble, and I, a disciple of Three Treasures, cannot sit idly by and ignore him. I will ask Dao Hai to accompany Master Lin."
Daohai!
Lin Ye was also shocked when he saw this monk Daohai.
He had seen many fat-headed and round-faced monks, but for this one with a sinister face, if it weren't for the ring scar on his head, it would be more tempting to believe that he was a butcher who killed pigs.
"Abbott, wherever there is an evil spirit, I will go and liberate him."
Dao Hai had a murderous look on his face, and Lin Ye and Abbot Yin Guang twitched their mouths at the same time.
"Master Lin, don't be offended. Dao Hai is a monk in our temple. He is a bit rude, but his intentions are good. He doesn't see ghosts and monsters harming others. The Buddha has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and there is also a Vajra statue with angry eyes."
"Master Daohai is a straightforward person at first glance, which is understandable."
"I am not worthy of being called a Master, Young Master. I am eighteen years old." When Dao Hai answered, the fat on his face trembled.
Lin Ye:......
"Ahem, Dao Hai looks a little precocious..."
Master Yin Guang was also embarrassed. Lin Ye smiled along with the embarrassment. This is not premature, this is mature.
"Um, Abbot Yinguang, I come from Puyun County. The journey is a bit long..."
"It doesn't matter. As long as Mr. Lin pays for the expenses all the way, the young monk is willing to accompany Mr. Lin on this trip no matter how far away it is."
Dao Hai directly interrupted Lin Ye's words and patted his chest very loyally. Lin Ye understood in his heart that this person was not loyal, but really liked to save ghosts.
"Dao Hai, please step back first."
Abbot Yinguang scolded, and Dao Hai was a little unwilling. Before exiting the backyard, he said: "Master Lin, I promise that as long as I go there, there will be no more evil spirits around Master Lin."
"Daohai!"
Abbot Yinguang glared at Dao Hai, who shrank his neck before exiting the courtyard.
"Amitabha, Mr. Lin, please don't laugh."
"How could it be possible? Master Dao Hai... I admire Master Dao Hai for his firm belief in conquering demons."
"It is precisely because of this that I will not let Dao Hai leave the temple easily."
"Why is this?"
After Abbot Yinguang's explanation, Lin Ye finally understood what was going on.
Daohai's parents were from a nearby village. When Daohai was four years old, an evil spirit came into the village and massacred the people in the entire village. Fortunately, Abbot Yinguang passed by at that time and saved the evil spirit.
.
Originally, Master Yin Guang wanted to give Dao Hai to be raised by villagers in other villages who lacked children, but Dao Hai was very stubborn and unwilling. At a young age, he was determined to learn Buddhism from Abbot Yin Guang. Abbot Yin Guang raised him
He took it with him to Miaoying Temple and accepted it into Buddhism.
It is precisely because he witnessed his parents dying at the hands of ghosts in his childhood that Dao Hai never shows mercy to ghosts. As long as a ghost lingers in the world and is encountered by him, he will never show mercy and directly save it.
"Although according to the rules of the Yin and Yang worlds, if the soul does not go to the underworld in time and stays in the Yang world and is destroyed by others, it will not cause karma, but God has the virtue of good life, and these ghosts will not die. The old monk can only restrain Dao Hai.
Do not leave the temple easily."
"The abbot is kind."
Master Yin Guang murmured in his heart, this is not just mercy, if Dao Hai comes down from the mountain, all the ghosts in the surrounding counties will be cleared away. Without these ghosts, how can Miaoying Temple be so prosperous?
Those dignitaries who are full of bad intentions and have done countless dark things secretly come to burn incense and worship Buddha to make wishes, but the Buddha will not fulfill them.
The reason why Miaoying Temple attracts these dignitaries to come and burn incense is not because the talismans are efficacious as the common people think, but because Miaoying Temple can help these dignitaries solve the troubles of encountering ghosts.
In Shangyang County, the tough-nosed old Taoist in Qingfengguan was afraid of getting into trouble, but he was not afraid. The development of Buddhism cannot be separated from money and people.
When he first became the abbot, Miaoying Temple had only a few believers and the temple was very big, and Qingfeng Temple had a lot of incense. But now, there are only a few believers in Qingfeng Temple, and Miaoying Temple has been fully developed in his hands.
Believers are spread across several counties and cities in the surrounding area, and the two have completely changed.
"Master Yinguang, let me be frank. I came here this time to learn how to practice cultivation from your temple."
Since Miaoying Temple has real abilities and Lin Ye is not in a hurry for time, he is now more curious about what Buddhist methods of practice are.
"Amitabha, our Buddhist sect values purity and cultivation. Mr. Lin is a rich and noble man with magnificent equipment. Why should he suffer this crime?"
Facing the abbot's words, Lin Ye felt a little familiar. It seemed that the old Taoist had said the same thing back then. It had been a few years, but he couldn't remember it.
But since the words are similar, he also understands why.
Lin Ye took out five silver notes and saw that the abbot was unmoved. He sighed in his heart, after all, they are better off than the old Taoist. With these five hundred taels, if he were photographed in front of the old Taoist priest, the old Taoist priest would probably Qingfeng Guan
All methods of practice will be presented for you to choose.
He doesn't care about money. The most important thing in life is to be happy.
Eight hundred taels...
One thousand taels...
Master Yinguang looked at the banknotes that Lin Ye kept taking out, and kept thinking about Amitabha in his heart, and finally...
When Lin Ye took out one thousand five hundred taels, he couldn't sit still anymore.
"Amitabha, Mr. Lin is devoted to the Buddha. This sincere heart will probably move me, the Buddha. I have three volumes of practice methods in Miaoying Temple. I will slowly explain them to Mr. Lin."
