Hearing this, Zhang Yutang pretended to be surprised, stepped forward, grabbed Zen Master Wu Neng's sleeve, and said:
"No wonder I have been so smart and open-mouthed all these years. It turns out that I have an extraordinary origin. I was actually the reincarnation of an Arhat in the sky. Old monk, please tell me which Arhat I am the reincarnation of."
"It is said that there are five hundred Arhats in my Buddha. Am I one of them? Or am I the head of the legendary Eighteen Arhats who subdued the dragon and subdued the tiger?"
"That's good, that's good."
Zen Master Wu Neng looked at the narcissistic Zhang Yutang, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He just saw the young man's red lips and white teeth, and his vitality, so he planned to give him to the monster to eat.
Who knew that this man was actually a narcissist.
If I praise you as the reincarnation of Arhat, you will think that you are really the reincarnation of Arhat.
It turned out that in order for Zen Master Wu Neng to find blood food for himself, the monster in the backyard pond taught Wu Neng a magic technique that could watch people's blood and energy.
The thicker the qi and blood, the more abundant the essence, energy and spirit. It tastes smooth and delicious, and is full of nutrients. It is best for replenishing energy and practicing cultivation.
"Donor, you are so spiritually enlightened and full of Buddha-nature that you must be the reincarnation of Arhat. As for the reincarnation of the Great Droghan, how could the old monk know if he was born in mortal form?"
Zen Master Wu Neng smiled kindly:
"There is no need to rush this matter. When the benefactor ascends the White Lotus, ascends to the Paradise of Paradise, and understands the past and future lives, he will naturally know that he is the great Arhat who came to this world."
"I see."
Zhang Yutang was overjoyed and pulled Zen Master Wu Neng:
"Then why don't you go quickly? Go quickly, go quickly. That divine lotus from heaven that is so popular is there. Let's go quickly. I also want to know which great Arhat I am reincarnated."
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. What's yours is yours. If it's not yours, there's no point in hurrying."
Zen Master Wu Neng was not impatient and followed Zhang Yutang towards the backyard. As he was walking, a servant came hurriedly:
"I've seen the holy monk!"
When Zen Master Wu Neng saw that he was a servant in front of the magistrate's mother, he stopped and shouted the Buddha's name:
"The donor came to see the old monk, why?"
The old servant said:
"Holy Monk, my old lady heard that someone wanted to step on the white lotus and ascend, so she asked me to come quickly to inform her. The old lady arrived soon after. The old lady said that even if she can't step on the white lotus and ascend, she can experience it and it will be a comfort to her life.
I hope the holy monk can wait for a while."
"That's fine."
Zen Master Wu Neng nodded slightly, with sadness filling his brows, and turned to look at Zhang Yutang:
"Little donor, see if you can wait a moment. The old lady is also a pious person. She has always respected and believed in the Buddha."
Zhang Yutang nodded and said indifferently:
"Just wait, if someone can see me flying on the lotus and spread my good name, it will not be in vain that I am the reincarnation of an Arhat and come to this world."
"Sir, are you really the reincarnation of Arhat?"
Abao on the side looked at Zhang Yutang with reverence:
"Some people say that the young master is a Wenqu star who descended to earth and wrote good articles that caused hundreds of saints to sing together. I believe this, but it is said that he was a big-headed monk in his previous life. I am confused."
"Big-headed monk?"
Zen Master Wu Neng's mouth twitched a little after hearing this:
"He is a big-headed monk. What about me? Am I a small-headed monk?"
Of course Li Yong also noticed that Zhang Yutang seemed to have an ulterior motive for coming here, so he helped him:
"Sir, I think the white lotus descending from the sky at Jinshan Temple and ascending to heaven in the daytime are completely false. I have read the books of sages for a long time, so I should know that I don't speak and have strange power to confuse the gods. Let's go back."
"It makes sense, it makes sense."
After listening to the two people's words, Zhang Yutang couldn't help but nodded, but said with some doubts:
"It's just that if I am really the reincarnation of the Arhat that the old monk said, if I miss it, I will regret it for the rest of my life. Besides, even if I am not, I will not lose anything by going to step on the white lotus, but what if I am...
…?”
"Haha, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."
After hearing this, Zen Master Wu Neng was secretly happy:
"As long as you have this kind of luck in your heart, you are considered to have fallen into my trap. Life, death, misfortune, blessings and fortune are not up to you."
"With red lips and white teeth, and strong blood energy, the monster should be very happy to eat such a person. Apart from him, the remaining two men and one woman also have very full blood energy. It is a pity that they cannot ascend too much at the same time, so as not to show their flaws.
"
"Holy Monk, I've kept you waiting for a long time."
A few people were chatting, and a graceful and luxurious old lady walked over with a clean body, followed by a maid. The old lady exuded a fresh fragrance and her hair was moist. She must have just bathed and changed clothes:
"When I came, I had already burned incense, paid homage, bathed and changed clothes. Only when I go to see the divine lotus like this can I be considered sincere."
"Everything happens as it happens, as long as you have the will."
Zen Master Wu Neng Feng Dan Yun Qing:
"Everything in the world is just an appearance. If the Buddha is in Lingshan Mountain, don't look far away. Lingshan Mountain is in your heart. Everyone has a Lingshan Pagoda, and he should practice with his head towards the Lingshan Pagoda. Old donor, don't you understand?"
In the last sentence, the voice suddenly rose in pitch, like a lion roaring, like a tiger roaring, making people tremble subconsciously.
"The holy monk's practice is profound, and I feel extremely ashamed."
After the old lady's body shook, her eyes became clearer:
"The Buddha is enlightened, and the mind is the Buddha. The main thing to practice Buddhism is to cultivate your own mind. The Buddha is in the heart. For a truly enlightened person, everything is empty. There is no need to worry about burning incense and paying homage, bathing and changing clothes. Disciples must also practice diligently and diligently."
"Good!"
Zen Master Wu Neng chanted the name of the Buddha and walked away. The old lady followed closely behind him. She was extremely pious, yet calm and composed, as if she had truly understood the wonderful truth of the Three Vehicles and the true Dharma of the Great Realm of Space.
"This old lady has been deceived."
Zhang Yutang was thinking:
"The old monk kept talking, but he didn't say anything practical at all. As for the Buddha in his heart, it was simply the old lady who realized it herself and used it to comfort herself."
"If you use your own imagination to bind yourself, you will naturally believe it deeply. No wonder, no wonder, once this person has faith, he will be obsessed with it and will not regret it until his death."
A group of people walked slowly, and soon they arrived in the backyard, where a pool of autumn water was rippling, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, as clear as green jade, and deep and bottomless.
"So much resentment, so much demonic energy!"
Zhang Yutanghui's eyes flashed, and at a glance, he saw a thick, fishy blood-colored evil spirit running straight through the sky above the pond. The aura was billowing like a pillar holding up the sky, reaching through the sky and the earth.
"Such evil spirit, resentment, evil spirit, how many people have to be eaten before it can be condensed."
"It's just that people who are pious should not have so much resentment. Could it be that at the moment of death, these people already understood that the lotus step did not ascend, but entered the mouth of the demon?"
"I lived a pious life and believed in all Buddhas, but in the end I was deceived and died at the mouth of a monster in a temple. No wonder there is a lot of resentment."
"Holy Monk, does the white lotus bloom in this pond?"
The old lady was full of energy and looked towards the pond. The green waves were gentle and the breeze was blowing, making ripples.
Zen Master Wu Neng smiled and said nothing, but recited a mantra. As soon as the mantra came out, the calm water surface was suddenly broken. The water was turbulent and the waves were huge. A huge white lotus was suspended on the water with six petals in full bloom and green.
"It turns out that my destiny has arrived."
The old lady was overjoyed. She was afraid that she would be caught first, so she straightened her body and ran towards Bai Lian very neatly:
"I want to step on the lotus and fly away to the paradise world."
Wu Neng's face turned pale and he thought:
"It's a big disaster. Now, Jinshan Temple is finished."
