Gu Jing moved his family to an old house not far from the city gate so that his son would not be disturbed by the Golden Buddha Temple. However, what Gu Jing did not expect was that his son Gu Mingen went to the temple even more aggressively, taking advantage of the opportunity of running the business.
Without telling Gu Jing, a lot of the Gu family's money and real estate in Huizhou were donated to the temple. The old couple had no choice but to convert their old house into an inn and rely on the meager income from the inn to survive.
After more than a year of hard work, Gu Jing hated that iron could not become steel, and repeatedly banned Gu Mingen from going to the Golden Buddha Temple. But later, Gu Mingen simply lived in the Golden Buddha Temple. Gu Jing wanted to ask his son to go home, and the people in the temple
The monks were all vicious local ruffians and blocked Gu Jing outside the temple without even seeing Gu Mingen's face. Gu Jing returned home extremely angrily and talked about the matter with Mrs. Xu, who thought for a while.
He said: "Master, it's not difficult to call Ming'er home. But we can't lock Ming'er in the room every day. In my opinion, it's better to marry Miss Qi so that Ming'er can be taken care of."
Gu Jing hesitated for a while and nodded and said: "I hope Miss Qi can accept Ming'er's desire to cultivate immortality. Alas, it is difficult for this girl." Gu Jing and Xu came to Qi's house that day with some gifts and silks.
, Qi Changshui saw Gu and his wife coming to the door, and hurriedly called his daughter Qi Ying to go buy wine and buy vegetables.
Qi Ying smiled and greeted Gu and his wife, and went out to prepare food and drinks. Gu Jing saw that although the Qi family's house was simple, it was very neat, and the bright table must have been made by Miss Qi. Qi Changshui gave
Gu Jing and his wife made tea, sat down and exchanged greetings: "How are you doing this year, brother and sister-in-law? I heard someone said that Master Gu gave his original house to the Golden Buddha Temple? Now the Golden Buddha Temple occupies most of the street here.
, the incense is getting more and more popular.”
Gu Jing cursed angrily: "It was the unfilial son who secretly gave the money and real estate title to the Golden Buddha Temple without telling us when he was in charge."
Mrs. Xu smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, it's hard to explain this matter. I came to your brother today because I really have something to ask for."
Qi Changshui stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Eldest brother and sister-in-law, don't say that. If it weren't for my eldest brother's generous donation to take care of Zhuo Jing's funeral, I really don't know what I would have done. Qi Changshui, the great benefactor, will never live in this world.
Report, elder brother and sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just say it to Qi Changshui and never refuse."
Gu Jing said uneasily: "Unfortunately, there is a prodigal son in our family. We, the old couple, want to marry you and let Miss Qi take good care of the prodigal son for us."
Qi Changshui said in shock: "Brother and sister-in-law, don't you know that at the end of next month, Master Gu will become a living Buddha and burn his body and ascend to heaven?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes and fainted and fell to the ground. Gu Jing was also shocked and said: "Brother, is this serious?"
Qi Changshui was silent for a while and said: "It's absolutely true. I heard it said by two fair-weather monks from the Golden Buddha Temple in a wine shop while talking and laughing."
Gu Jing woke up the Xu family, Liu Shen Wu Zhu said: "No, absolutely not. They can't harm Ming'er, brothers, let's go to the Golden Buddha Temple..."
After Gu Jing, his wife and Qi Changshui walked a few steps across the street, they arrived at the entrance of the Golden Buddha Temple. The Zhike monk outside the temple stretched out his hand to block the way of the three of them, and said in a nonchalant voice: "Stop, you guys come to the Golden Buddha Temple."
What are you doing? Is it charity?"
Gu Jing said angrily: "If I don't give alms, can I not enter your Golden Buddha Temple?"
"Go, go, go. Don't you know that the living Buddha will ascend to heaven next month? Except for giving alms, pilgrims are not allowed to enter for the time being. You can go back to where you came from." Zhike monk moved a bench next to him and set up Erlang's legs.
Stopped Gu Jing and the others.
Mrs. Xu cried loudly: "That's my son, where is the Living Buddha? I want to take my son home, please give me my son back, give my son back to me..."
When Mrs. Xu cried, all the passers-by on the street gathered together. People both hated and respected the Golden Buddha Temple. What they hated was that the monks there were usually domineering and did not look like a monk at all, but what they respected was that the monk Mingkong presided over the mantra.
Once the talisman appears, it can summon wind, rain, and immortals.
Qi Changshui saw Zhike Monk's arrogance and domineering arrogance. He reached out angrily and grabbed Zhike Monk's lapel and lifted him up with one hand. He raised his hand and threw Zhike Monk more than a foot away. Zhike Monk lay on the ground and screamed loudly.
He yelled: "Come quickly, someone is here to cause trouble. Brothers, come out and clean up these reckless things. You are really blind when you go to the Golden Buddha Temple to cause trouble."
Before the Zhike monk could stop shouting, more than a dozen burly men suddenly ran out from both sides of the main hall and surrounded Gu Jing, his wife and Qi Changshui. The leading monk said with a sneer, "Where did you come from, old guy?"
You dare to go to the Golden Buddha Temple and act wild, you are tired of living. Come on, drive these three immortal things out." A dozen or so ferocious monks grabbed the weapons in their hands and pounced on them.
The Jing couple were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and Qi Changshui protected them behind them.
Although Qi Changshui was a military commander, he was unable to defeat four hands with two fists and he was too old. He protected Gu Jing and his wife and fought and retreated. However, Qi Changshui was beaten many times in dozens of rounds.
A trace of blood oozed from the monk's fists and feet, and from his mouth and nose. People who practice martial arts train their muscles and bones on the outside, but they practice one breath on the other. Qi Changshui knew that he was relying on the breath in his Dantian.
If he had relaxed even a little bit, the blood of the three of them would have been splashed in the Golden Buddha Temple today. More and more passersby gathered at the Golden Buddha Temple, but no one dared to come forward. Seeing Qi Changshui, he almost couldn't hold on.
Apart from sighing softly while staying...
"Bang..., Kuangtang..." Suddenly something flew out of the crowd and hit the door in front of the leading monk who was gesticulating. The monk was smashed before he could understand what was going on. He saw that
The monk fell straight down.
"Okay, don't fight anymore. Kongzhijian Temple has been injured. Come over and help." The monks let go of Qi Changshui, who was beaten into an inhuman shape, turned around and ran towards the leader. They were all running around.
After shaking Monk Akechi awake, Monk Akechi drowsily said with his eyes closed: "What a fragrant wine, why does my head hurt so much?" He wiped his forehead with the back of his hand, and his whole body trembled with pain.
stand up.
"Who? Who threw the wine jar and hit your uncle? If you have the guts to stand up, I won't give you any clues to show it. You really don't know that Lord Ma has three eyes. Oh, his head is bleeding..."
"The ones I threw were those monks like you who bully the weak and pretend to be compassionate!" The charming voice rang out from the crowd, shocking the monks in the Golden Buddha Temple. The onlookers hurriedly turned aside to give way.
Along the way, Qi Ying, carrying a bamboo basket filled with vegetables, was looking at Monk Mingzhi angrily.
Qi Ying stepped forward and helped Qi Changshui up, but Qi Changshui couldn't help coughing up blood and gasping: "Xianglan...the monks...hurry...help you...Uncle Gu...bring Master Gu...
...Brother Gu..." Qi Changshui anxiously held Qi Ying's hand, but his words were already incoherent.
"Dad, please adjust your breathing quickly. Don't worry about it anymore after being injured so badly. Leave it to me." Qi Ying Bingxue Cleverly knew when she saw so many people surrounding the Golden Buddha Temple.
Something happened. When he squeezed through the gap in the wall and saw the Gu couple, he knew exactly what had happened.
Qi Ying turned around and glared at more than a dozen monks, gritting her teeth and saying, "Call your presiding monk to come out!"
Mingzhi covered the wound on his forehead with one hand and said: "Damn girl, I haven't settled the score with you yet, but you are so brave and dare to ask us to take charge of it. Even though you are a beautiful girl, I will still treat you so hard that you can't even seek death."
No way!" All the monks who had experienced Ming Zhi laughed obscenely.
Qi Ying stood up and shouted loudly: "Dear fellow villagers in Huizhou, the monks in the Golden Buddha Temple did not abide by the rules and oppressed the people, and I don't know which school of Buddhism they practiced and which school of scripture they recited!" After hearing Qi Ying's words, everyone clapped their hands and applauded.
Monk Mingzhi said sternly: "Don't listen to the words of the dead girl. My senior brother, Zen Master Mingkong, is a god in the world. You have all seen my senior brother's great supernatural powers. On the twenty-eighth of next month, my senior brother will be here."
The Living Buddha has ascended to heaven and become an immortal."
Qi Ying pointed at the Gu family and said: "These two are the parents of the Living Buddha who lives in the Golden Buddha Temple. How can there be parents in the world who are not children? They come to the Golden Buddha Temple and can't even see their own flesh and blood. They are so heartless and cruel.
Can a righteous living Buddha bless others?" Qi Ying's words immediately caused a commotion in the crowd. The parents who raised him were bullied by the monks of the Golden Buddha Temple, and the son actually hid inside and ignored him...
"Amitabha, the poor monk Mingkong has seen the female benefactor. Why is Buddhism making such noise here in such a quiet place?" Zen Master Mingkong with a jade-faced face came out of the back hall with Gu Ming'en, who had been tonsured. He spoke quietly but could
It suppressed all the noise outside the temple so that everyone present could hear it clearly.
Gu Jing and Mrs. Xu were both stunned when they saw Gu Mingen, who was wearing a cassock with Buddhist beads embedded in it. Mrs. Xu pushed away the monk who was blocking him and rushed to Gu Mingen, touching her son's shaved head and saying with tears:
"Ming'er, you...how...how..."
"Donor, please come back, the poor monk is now called Chen." Gu Mingen said indifferently.
Gu Jing stepped forward, raised his hand, slapped Gu Mingen and said, "You still haven't woken up, you evil boy. The monks in the Golden Buddha Temple want to burn you to death to make money!"
Gu Ming'en had never been beaten since he was a child. A slap made Gu Ming'en a little afraid. He said timidly: "Dad, over the past year or so, I have finally understood the way to sacrifice one's life and become an immortal."
"I will come back to see you when I become an immortal, and then we will have whatever we want." Mrs. Xu sat on the ground and cried loudly, Gu Jing was so angry that she was shaking all over. The onlookers outside the temple also felt that this
Something is wrong. It should be a good thing for the living Buddha to ascend to heaven. How can it be like this? Everyone was talking about it, and they all expressed doubts about the Golden Buddha Temple...
"Amitabha, it is difficult for you to achieve enlightenment if your mortal connection is not broken. It is better to go back and settle your worldly affairs first. The great Buddha Dharma can only save those who are destined. If you miss the day of becoming an immortal, it may take several more reincarnations before you have this opportunity.
"Gu Jing and Mrs. Xu heard that Monk Mingkong asked their son to go back first, and hurriedly dragged Gu Mingen out of the Golden Buddha Temple. Qi Ying supported Qi Changshui and left with Gu Jing and the others.
Mingzhi turned around and asked softly: "Senior brother, you just let them leave like this?"
Monk Mingkong walked to the door of the temple and said: "All the donors, please leave. The 28th of next month is the day when the Living Buddha will go through the tribulation and save the world. Then you will know it..."
Gu Jing and his party returned to Qi Changshui's home. Qi Changshui was fine after adjusting his breath. Gu Jing asked Xu to hire a car to take Gu Ming'en back to his home, but he stayed behind.
Qi family.
Gu Jing said sadly: "Brother was seriously injured today because of the dog incident. I really can't forgive you, brother."
Qi Changshui quickly waved his hand and said: "Skin injuries are nothing to worry about, brother, don't take it to heart. Even Young Master Gu has been unhappy along the way, and he is afraid that he will go to the Golden Buddha Temple again."
Gu Jing sighed: "Brother Qi, I am also worried about this matter. The eldest brother wants to ask my brother to take Miss Qi Ying into custody of my unscrupulous son, but I am afraid that I will wrong Miss Qi."
Qi Changshui knew that his daughter looked down on Gu Ming'en, but the Gu family was kind to him. He hesitated for a while and said, "Okay, I hope my Xianglan can make Master Gu change his mind."
Gu Jing was so moved that he almost knelt down to Qi Changshui and hurriedly went home to prepare the bride price and Gu Mingen's horoscope.
Although Qi Ying was reluctant, she couldn't bear her father's embarrassment and reluctantly agreed. The Gu Qi family had agreed to marry Miss Qi Ying on March 15th, but Gu Mingen was unwilling to marry her in a red sedan chair on March 15th.
After carrying Miss Qi Ying back, she found that the groom and the husband were missing...
