The sky gradually darkened, and I don't know how many turns I turned in Jishi Temple and how long I walked, but the sound of chanting Buddhist scriptures in the ancient temple was almost inaudible.
But at this moment, Liao Kong felt extremely tormented in his heart.
Ye Xiaochuan, this brat, didn't stop talking all the way. He talked in random directions. To sum it up, he told himself to think clearly and not to make one mistake and regret it for eternity.
Fortunately, Kong has practiced Buddhism with Master Xuanhui for many years, and he still has the heart of Buddha. If it were other young nuns from Jishi Temple, they would probably have slapped him on the dark cheek, saying that the Buddha also has the power to conquer demons.
When a lion roars, let alone a human being?
Finally we arrived at Wugouju, which is a small independent Buddhist temple in the corner of Jishi'an. It is very quiet. There is a tall bamboo forest on both sides. The bamboos are emerald green, and each bamboo is straight.
It extends upward, at least ten feet high, and is as thick as the mouth of a bowl.
As for the back of Wugou Residence, there is the mountain wall of Langya Mountain. If you look up, you can probably see the houses of disciples of Langya Immortal Sect on the mountainside.
Wugouju is very small, just a Zen room. The wooden door is closed, and you can see candles lighting up through the window.
Liao Kong led Ye Xiaochuan to the door of Wugou Residence, clasped his hands together, and said, "Master, disciple Liao Kong has brought donor Ye here."
"come in."
Master Xuanhui's voice came from the Zen room behind the door. Luokong gently opened the door. Ye Xiaochuan immediately heard the rhythmic sound of wooden fish coming from inside.
As soon as Ye Xiaochuan heard this voice, his head suddenly swelled, but he did not dare to be presumptuous. He hurriedly stepped forward and bent down to salute.
"Junior Cangyun Sect Ye Xiaochuan has met Master Xuanhui."
"The poor nun is an old friend of Taoist fellow Taoist Yujizi, the leader of the noble sect, and your mentor, Taoist Master Qingfeng. You don't have to be polite, Young Master Ye."
The sound of the wooden fish stopped, and Ye Xiaochuan walked into Wugou House. The furnishings inside were very simple, including a statue of Bodhisattva, a few shriveled orange futons, an oil lamp, and not even tables, chairs, or benches. It could be said to belong to the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng.
Typical representative.
However, this shabby house seems to have nothing to do with the word "Wugouju". "Wugou" means dust-free. However, this Zen room seems to have not been cleaned for at least ten or eight years. There is a layer of dust on the ground, even everywhere.
Spider web.
Ye Xiaochuan swallowed his saliva, this is not a place where people live, it is completely the haunted Lanruo Temple outside the city.
Kong didn't come in and didn't know where he went. Ye Xiaochuan felt that this place was eerie. If there wasn't a clay Buddha statue to ward off evil spirits and guard the house, he would have wanted to run away.
Master Xuanhui sat cross-legged on a futon in front of the Clay Bodhisattva, with her back to Ye Xiaochuan. Her washed white monk's robe looked very desolate under the green lamp.
Ye Xiaochuan looked around a few times and couldn't help but said: "Master, this junior is a little confused."
Master Xuanhui said: "Do you think that since this Zen room is called the Wusui Residence, it should be Wusui and dust-free, so why is it so dirty?"
Ye Xiaochuan said: "Master is too wise, I hope Master will clarify my doubts."
Master Xuan Hui did not answer directly, but shook the fly whisk in her hand, and a yellow futon beside her slowly rose up and landed in front of Ye Xiaochuan.
Ye Xiaochuan was shocked, thinking that Master Xuanhui's cultivation was really extraordinary.
After he sat cross-legged on the futon, Master Xuanhui said: "The Bodhi tree has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so how can it cause dust. There is nothing in the Pure Land of Buddhism, so what's the harm in causing some dust?"
"
Ye Xiaochuan was still confused and said: "When I came here this morning, I saw two little nuns opening the mountain gate and starting to clean the fallen leaves on the stone steps in front of the mountain gate. At that time, I was thinking, since it is an empty door, why should it be closed? Since it is a pure land,
, why do we need to clean it? Since we have cleaned the dust, why don’t we also clean this Wugou residence? It’s so dirty here, with spiders and moths flying all over the place, it’s so unhygienic.”
Master Xuanhui was suddenly stunned. She never expected that Ye Xiaochuan could speak such a profound Buddhist doctrine at such a young age.
But after all, Master Xuan Hui is one of the most enlightened nuns in the world. She clasped her hands together and said: "Amitabha, Ye Shaoxia really has a deep connection with Buddhism. It is said that the Cangyun Sect is full of talented people. Now that I can meet Ye Shaoxia, his reputation is indeed well-deserved. Just now.
The young hero said, since it is an empty door, why should it be closed? Since it is a pure land, why should it be cleaned? Since it has been cleaned, why not clean this impure home?"
She smiled, and there seemed to be a flash of golden Buddha flame in her eyes, and said: "The closed door blocks the world of mortals outside, so it is an empty door. If the place of the empty door is not cleaned frequently, how can it be a pure land? As for this place not being cleaned often
The reason why it is called "Unsullied Abode" is because "Untainted" is not about the surface, but the inner heart. The untainted heart and the dust-free soul are the highest state of my Buddha's mind."
Ye Xiaochuan opened his mouth slightly when he heard the words. Unexpectedly, the doubts in his heart were solved by Master Xuan Hui in a few words.
For a long time, I couldn't think of anything to refute, so I had to give in and said with shame: "Master, the Buddhist principles are profound and have reached the state of perfection. Just now was the junior Meng Lang. Please don't be weird, Master."
Ye Xiaochuan was very depressed. He had known that he would not come to Jishi'an to check in, so he slept in Jishi'an and had a delicious vegetarian meal. However, it was late at night and he hadn't eaten dinner yet. Here he was.
Wu Guoju and Master Xuanhui were giving lectures and discussing Taoism, which was really not as comfortable as begging on the streets.
He wanted to leave, but his stomach had already begun to growl, so he asked: "I wonder if Master has called this junior here for anything else?"
Master Xuan Hui said: "There is nothing else important. I just want to ask, what are Ye Shaoxia's plans for the future?"
Ye Xiaochuan was stunned. Master Xuan Hui seemed to be giving an eviction order. Isn't this a bit stingy? He just stayed in Jishi'an for a few meals, and he couldn't afford Jishi'an. There was no need to kick people out now.
?
Master Xuanhui's wise eyes seemed to see through Ye Xiaochuan's thoughts. She smiled slightly and said: "Even if all the disciples of Cangyun Sect come, they won't be able to defeat me, Ji Shi'an. It's just that the neighborhood here is not very stable now.
Recently, the disciples of He'an discovered that there are many demon sect disciples operating near Hanyang City..."
As soon as Ye Xiaochuan heard that there was a demon cult demon in this place, he immediately said: "What? There are people from evil ways nearby? Then I will leave tomorrow! I won't stay for a moment longer!"
This time, Master Xuanhui was stunned.
She has never seen someone so greedy for life and afraid of death!
According to her original intention, she wanted Ye Xiaochuan, a new face in the world, to inquire about the reality of the surrounding demon sects. After all, Ji Shi'an was a nun who would be recognized at a glance, and Ye Xiaochuan was the master of Cangyun Sect's fighting skills.
The young masters who are among the top three in the test have strong magical powers and are smart, so they should not be in any danger.
Unexpectedly, before he said his request, Ye Xiaochuan was so frightened that he immediately said he would leave tomorrow, which was completely beyond Master Xuanhui's expectations.
