Li Muchan shook her head and laughed, she still looked naughty as a girl.
While the two were talking, the two young novice monks who had just escaped appeared again, with their palms clasped together and their treasures solemn: "Amitabha, firewood donor, Master Tanming invites you."
Chai Xiaoyue said: "This is a friend of mine who also wants to meet the master. Is that okay?"
The two young novices looked at each other and shook their heads slowly in embarrassment.
"Let's go, open the way!" Chai Xiaoyue waved her little hand.
The two young monks turned around and walked inside. Li Muchan and Chai Xiaoyue stepped up the stairs side by side, followed by the servant in gray. They stepped into the courtyard in front of the main hall. Without entering the main hall, they turned to the right, and then passed through two courtyards. Three Moons
Open the door and come to a quiet courtyard.
The bamboo forest in the small courtyard is rustling, quiet and elegant. There is nothing else but the bamboo forest. An old monk in gray robes is standing quietly in front of the bamboo forest, with his back to the courtyard door, as if he is integrated with the bamboo forest.
"Master, I'm here!" Chai Xiaoyue said in a proud voice.
The old monk slowly turned around and bowed. Li Muchan bowed and looked at the old monk. His beard and eyebrows were all white, his face was like the bright moon, his eyes were clear and peaceful, and there was no trace of sharpness in his body.
Li Muchan secretly admired him, he was such an eminent monk who had attained enlightenment. He seemed to have lost his attachment to self, transformed the void into a body, and blended into the heaven and earth. His level of cultivation was extremely high.
The old monk looked at Chai Xiaoyue with a smile. When he saw Li Muchan, his eyebrows moved slightly and he said with a smile: "This little brother is...?"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "I'm Li Muchan."
"Donor Li is a Buddhist layman, right?" the old monk said.
Li Muchan nodded: "Yes, my enlightenment teacher is a monk. I have practiced meditation since I was a child and recited a volume of Buddhist scriptures."
The old monk nodded: "No wonder Donor Li's Qi is peaceful and the Buddha's power is vague."
"Mr. Li, this is Master Tan Ming!" Chai Xiaoyue said.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Master, don't blame me for coming here."
Master Tan Ming smiled and shook his head: "When fate comes together, we will come, and when fate breaks up, we will go. You and I are also destined people. Donor Chai, Donor Li, please."
He led the two of them into the main room. There were no tables or chairs in the room, and it was clean. There were only three yellow futons placed in the shape of a "pin".
The sun shines on the windows, making the house quiet and bright.
There is a wooden fish placed in front of the northernmost futon. It is dark brown and has a faint luster. It seems that a layer of oil has been applied on it, making it heavy and earthy.
Master Tan Ming smiled: "Donor Chai, Donor Li, please take a seat."
The three of them each sat on a futon. Master Tan Ming smiled and said: "Donor of firewood, today I am reciting a volume of the Vajra Paramita Bodhi Sutra. Please give me the best of firewood and feel it calmly."
Chai Xiaoyue said: "Master, will it grow long?"
Master Tan Ming smiled kindly: "It takes half an hour, and I still have to recite it three times."
"Oh..., okay." Chai Xiaoyue nodded helplessly, turned around and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, if you want to sleep, just go to sleep. There is no need to hold on."
Li Muchan felt strange in his heart, but suppressed his curiosity and said with a smile: "I just want to listen to the Vajra Bodhi Sutra, which is a great sutra in Buddhism."
"Donor Li has a destiny with my Buddha." Master Tanming smiled and nodded: "Being able to hear this sutra is already a supreme blessing and a blessing cultivated in previous lives."
Li Muchan smiled. Buddhism emphasizes reincarnation. If you fail to practice in the previous life, you can continue to practice in the next life. Practicing Buddhism is the creation of those with deep blessings. If you have not accumulated merit in the previous life, you will not be able to practice Buddhism in this life, and you will not be able to escape reincarnation in every life.
the suffering.
Once you accumulate merit and practice Buddhism, as long as your faith is firm, you will not be able to change your life in one life, and you will be able to complete the nine reincarnations. You will be able to get rid of reincarnation and enter the pure land of bliss in the west.
Chai Xiaoyue rolled her eyes and said lazily: "Master, let's get started!"
Master Tan Ming nodded with a smile, clasped his palms together, and tapped the wooden fish with his right hand. With a "thud" sound, both Li Muchan and Chai Xiaoyue trembled, their worldly thoughts disappeared, and their minds suddenly became clear and quiet.
Li Muchan's eyes flashed, and he sighed inwardly. This knock showed the power of calming the mind, purifying thoughts and dispelling evil spirits. It must be a very sophisticated mental method.
"If I hear..."
Master Tan Ming clasped his palms together and recited the sutra in a low voice. The words were clear and full, as round as pearls. They floated into his ears and went directly into his mind, and his body felt a sudden sensation.
He closed his eyes slightly, clasped his palms together, and the Buddhist scriptures that floated into his ears seemed to turn into reality. Each word came in and appeared clearly in his mind as golden characters.
The large purple-gold characters floated in front of my eyes, one word after another, forming a sentence, then quickly dissipated, and the next sentence slowly appeared, it was really mysterious.
The Vajra Paramita Bodhi Sutra is about the simultaneous development of wisdom and bodhicitta. Concentration leads to enlightenment, and wisdom leads to bodhicitta. Together with bodhicitta, self-grasping is naturally eliminated.
After listening to this sutra, Li Muchan felt that all his worldly thoughts had disappeared. Even the revenge that he had been obsessed with before had faded a bit, as if it was not that important anymore. Everything was empty, so why should he care so much?
He was slightly startled, but did not resist. After listening to it twice, his secular thoughts became lighter and he developed bodhicitta, wanting to sacrifice himself for others and save the common people.
Fortunately, his spirit was strong and he was thoroughly versed in the Dharma. As soon as the chanting stopped, he suddenly woke up and returned to normal.
"Bang" the wooden fish sounded again, and my mind suddenly became clear. All the previous thoughts disappeared, leaving only peace and tranquility without any disturbance.
The sound of the wooden fish eliminated the thoughts of the Buddhist scriptures, leaving only the tranquility.
Li Muchan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Chai Xiaoyue. Chai Xiaoyue had clear eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, how are you?"
Li Muchan nodded slowly: "Sure enough, Buddhism is boundless and mysterious."
Chai Xiaoyue said: "Really? I felt so bored that I almost fell asleep, and was woken up by Master Tan Ming's wooden fish!"
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows and looked at her carefully, but when he saw an occasional flash of greenness between her dark eyebrows, he couldn't help but let out a soft "Eh".
"Donor Li is indeed destined to be my Buddha." Master Tanming smiled and said, "But have you seen something wrong with Donor Chai?"
Li Muchan said: "Is this a demon entering the body?"
Master Tan Ming sighed and nodded slowly: "Donor Li is very knowledgeable and good at cultivation. Donor Chai is indeed a demon possessed by heaven."
Li Muchan frowned and said, "This is difficult to handle, thanks to the master's profound Dharma."
There are Buddhas in the world, and naturally there are demons. Buddhas and demons are naturally opposed to each other, and they restrain each other. The Buddha's heart is toward good, and the demon's heart is toward evil. They are both invisible and lurking in the human heart.
Everyone has Buddha nature, and everyone can become a Buddha. In fact, it also means that everyone has demon nature, and everyone can become a demon, but it is just demon nature and Buddha nature, and they do not form a climate.
Demons who have become human beings, like Buddhas who have become human beings, both leave this world and live in other heavens. However, there are exceptions. For example, the Buddha comes with a wish and his Dharma body turns into a human body to transform people. Demons also have this case, and occasionally they will
Hidden in the human world and placed in the human body.
Regardless of whether they are Buddhas or demons, they must abide by the laws of the world. When they arrive in this life, they must practice from scratch. It is impossible to completely inherit their original cultivation.
This demon possessed Chai Xiaoyue's body, and it must have been discovered by the Buddhist monks before it could take form, so it has been suppressed and restrained.
Once a demon takes shape, it will have great magical powers and no one can control it.
Li Muchan looked at Chai Xiaoyue and felt a little pity for the ninth princess. She was born in an emperor's family, had rich clothes and fine food, and dominated the world, but she was possessed by a demon.
If she were an ordinary person, she would have been eliminated by Buddhism long ago. It is the duty of Buddhism to conquer demons and demons, and they will never be lenient. Fortunately, she is the Ninth Princess.
However, ordinary people do not bother to be possessed by demons, so it is more convenient for them to rely on the children of the royal family. There is a Tennoji Temple in the palace, which may also be to prevent the demons from causing trouble.
People possessed by demons may have changes in temperament and greatly improve their talents. Chai Xiaoyue is the number one expert in the royal family, maybe because of this.
"Mr. Li also knows that the devil has entered the body?" Chai Xiaoyue looked at him in surprise. As she looked, a faint charming aura circulated, making Li Muchan's heart beat.
He was busy concentrating on concentrating his mind, and the devil was really powerful. Although she dressed up in men's clothing and tried her best to imitate men, she could not completely conceal her charm. The occasional reveal of her charms inadvertently was enough to sway people's hearts.
Li Muchan nodded and said, "I have read a few Buddhist scriptures and know a little bit about them."
Chai Xiaoyue said: "Mr. Li is not afraid, is he?"
Li Muchan laughed, shook his head and said: "The demon is not that scary. As long as the mind is calm and focused, there is nothing it can do."
Chai Xiaoyue said: "In order to deal with it, I have to listen to Buddhist scriptures every seven days. My ears are almost covered with calluses. It's really annoying!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "There are eminent Buddhist monks chanting sutras for you and suppressing the demons for you. Where can you find such good things? Brother Chai, you are so dissatisfied!"
Chai Xiaoyue snorted and said: "The devil is just a devil, what's the big deal!"
Li Muchan said: "The demons are very harmful, especially to Buddhism. It is a huge disaster. Brother Chai, it is better not to embarrass the master!"
The devil may not do anything to ordinary people, and it will definitely show no mercy to Buddhism. Once a person possessed by the devil comes to power, he may issue an order to kill the Buddha, which will be an irresistible catastrophe.
Chai Xiaoyue said helplessly: "Okay, I'm used to it anyway. Sir, do you want to talk to Master Tan Ming?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "If I have the opportunity to ask the master for advice, I will be lucky!"
Master Tan Ming smiled kindly: "Almsgiver Li has done a good job in Buddhist practice, I am ashamed!"
While he was chanting sutras, he concentrated on calming his mind and used the power of sutras to look at Li Muchan. The Buddha's light on his body was brilliant, and there was a full moon behind his head.
Even though there are many eminent monks in Tenno Temple, only one person has achieved this level. It is really commendable that he, a layman, broke through the barriers of attachment and saw the Tathagata.
Li Muchan Heshi smiled and said: "Master, you're welcome. I want to knock Master's wooden fish, how about it?"
"Please——!" Master Tan Ming stood up and moved away from the futon.
Li Muchan sat on the futon and felt peaceful. This futon was not a vulgar object. Could it be the Qingxin futon from the Dugu family?
Dugu Jinghua obtained the relic beads in exchange for a rare object, the Qingxin futon. He had never seen anything like it, so this might be it.
Li Muchan took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and then tapped lightly. There was a clear "thump" sound, and both Chai Xiaoyue and Master Tan Ming trembled.
"Tum thump thump thump..." Li Muchan knocked again, and then again.
After a while, he knocked more than a dozen times, and finally when he knocked out, Master Chai Xiaoyue and Master Tan Ming both smiled, and their hearts blossomed.
He put down the wooden fish mallet. The wooden fish was a bit strange. It may have been knocked too much. It was unknowingly immersed in the power of Buddhism. Therefore, it has the wonderful effect of purifying the mind and can be regarded as a rare treasure.
"Donor Li is good at cultivation." Master Tanming Heshi smiled and said, "I wonder who the eminent monk is?"
Li Muchan shook his head and said: "My ancestor has passed away and has never mentioned his name... Master, I wonder how many volumes of Buddhist scriptures there are in Tianwang Temple?"
"One thousand eight hundred volumes." Master Tan Ming said.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "I want to read these Buddhist scriptures. Is there a way?"
Master Tan Ming smiled and said, "Donor Li is my destined person and can read the sutras. However, the original sutras have been put into the sutra cabinet and there are only copies."
Li Muchan said: "I can't get what I asked for."
Master Tanming said: "I will give the donor ten volumes of Buddhist scriptures first. After reading them, you can come to see me again."
Li Muchan tithes: "Thank you, Master."
Master Tan Ming shook his head and smiled, got up and left the room, and soon came back. The two young novices behind him each held a wooden box.
Master Tanming pointed at the wooden box one by one and introduced: "Donor Li, inside are the Vajra Prajna Sutra, the Ten Desire Sutra, the Tiger's Chant Sutra..."
He spoke out the ten Buddhist scriptures one by one and said with a smile: "These Buddhist scriptures are too difficult for ordinary lay people. The donor is a man of great enlightenment, so he must be able to read them clearly."
Li Muchan smiled and said, "I'll give it a try."
After receiving the Buddhist scriptures, he said goodbye to Master Tanming without saying anything more, and followed Chai Xiaoyue back to Dugu Mansion.
Li Muchan didn't want to take her into the house, but she insisted on entering and asked the servants in gray to hold two wooden boxes while they walked in front.
When people outside the mansion saw Li Muchan, they didn't stop them and let them in directly. Li Muchan took Chai Xiaoyue into his small courtyard.
Chai Xiaoyue put her hands behind her hands, looked around, shook her head and said: "The Dugu family is so stingy, they only give you such a small courtyard."
She saw Li Muchan's erudition and knowledge, and felt that it was rare to see such a small courtyard, and it was really not worthy of his status.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "This is already good. Brother Chai, sit down."
He came to the small pavilion and sat down. Feng Mingxue came over in white clothes. When he saw Chai Xiaoyue, he was startled. Li Muchan smiled and said, "Miss Feng, this is Brother Chai Mingchai."
In front of outsiders, he had to conceal his identity, so naturally he couldn't be called senior sister. Otherwise, if he checked Feng Mingxue's identity, he would immediately know Li Muchan.
Feng Mingxue nodded lightly, sat down next to Li Muchan, looked at Chai Xiaoyue, Chai Xiaoyue also looked at Feng Mingxue, and said with a smile: "What a rare beauty."
Li Muchan said: "Brother Chai must not be rude to a beautiful woman! ... This Miss Feng is a high disciple of the Yunxiao Sect. Once she is offended, the flying sword will directly kill her."
"Yunxiao Sect?" Chai Xiaoyue said with a smile: "A while ago, a powerful figure came out of Yunxiao Sect, named Li Wuji, right?"
Feng Mingxue said calmly: "Junior brother Li is missing, I am here to look for him."
"Oh, didn't you say he was eaten by a wolf?" Chai Xiaoyue said.
Feng Mingxue said lightly: "That's nonsense!"
Chai Xiaoyue frowned, unconvinced, and wanted to say more. A chuckle suddenly sounded, and Dugu Jinghua came curling up, purple shirt fluttering, followed by Dugu Meng who looked helpless.
"The princess is here, it's so glorious!" Dugu Jinghua chuckled.
Chai Xiaoyue turned around and said with a smile: "Sister Dugu!"
She looked up and down and said with a smile: "Sister Dugu, have you taken the elixir?"
