Chapter 7 Laughing? Laughing is also considered a merit!
Chapter 7 Laugh? Laughter is considered a merit!
"Tanlang, be good, ah, open your mouth." Mrs. Zhen gently twisted the medicine spoon and handed it forward.
"Aunt, I can drink it myself." Ouyang Rong took a sip helplessly and muttered.
Mrs. Zhen seemed not to hear, and continued to scoop out the medicine, turning a deaf ear.
Early this morning, Mrs. Zhen came with her maid to take care of Ouyang Rong's meals and medicine. She also made an appointment with the abbot of Donglin Temple to check his pulse.
Ouyang Rong was originally planning to propose leaving the temple and going down the mountain today, but seeing Zhen's behavior, he would not let him go until he was raised like a lively dragon.
Ouyang Rong frowned silently.
At this time, the pretty maid next to Mrs. Zhen, who seemed to be named "Banxi", invited the master and apprentice who was presiding over the medical treatment from the front hall.
"Master, Tan Lang doesn't seem to have much appetite today. Check quickly to see if his condition has relapsed." Madam Zhen frowned in worry.
Ouyang Rong hesitated to speak. He was being fed like a child. It was strange that he had a good appetite.
Ouyang Rong didn't expect that his casual words would cause people to misunderstand that he was going to fight against the autumn wind.
"Even after many years, I still can't forget the immortal appearance of my great-uncle. The Buddha's Dharma is boundless and can save all living beings, and they can be reborn in the pure land, bright and free. The existence of such Buddhist traces is why this temple is the incense in Longcheng County and even Jiangzhou.
One of the reasons why the temple is the most prosperous is that many lay people have traveled thousands of miles to burn incense in the mountains. Even in recent years, foreign monks from Japan have come here to learn Buddhism and spread Buddhism to the south."
The old monk in charge held his beard and smiled, sat down calmly and calmly, with his white eyebrows lowered, and took the pulse of Ouyang Rong, who was leaning on the couch with his back.
Master Shandao's white eyebrows came together and he was silent for a while. He shook his head lightly and then nodded.
Ouyang Rong was stunned.
Ouyang Rong suddenly stopped talking.
Dang~
Suddenly, a dull wooden fish sound echoed in my ears.
The white-haired old monk shook his head and sighed: "So from now on, the temple will no longer build a pagoda at the original site of the 'Gongde Pagoda'. It's just a pity that the expensive underground palace below."
"What is your name, Master?"
Ouyang Rong thought thoughtfully and said: "No wonder you erected a lotus throne in the center of the underground palace, but there is no Buddha statue on it. It is empty."
In addition, Ouyang Rong also noticed something different and thought thoughtfully:
"When adding merit, the sound of the wooden fish heard by my ears seems to be lighter and crisper; while when deducting merit, the sound of the wooden fish heard seems to be duller.
He suddenly felt that there really seemed to be some kind of providence in the dark.
"That day, the gate of the underground palace that had been blocked for decades by the collapsed tower reopened. I went down with my master and saw with my own eyes that my uncle, who had been missing for many years since the collapse of the lotus tower, was sitting cross-legged in the center of the underground palace. He had been dead for many years.
However, his face and skin are still lifelike, and even the veins on the back of his hands are clearly visible. He has become a Buddha in the physical body! On the ground next to my uncle, the return letter has the four words "go back, come back"... It seems that he is returning to the pure land.
Already."
Are you not familiar with it? He woke up there in the first place and stepped on countless feet. He even requisitioned the golden lotus lantern that may have been enshrined in the relics of Master Zhongma, and went on a physical ‘ascension’...
"Why is it gone?"
The old monk sighed and said helplessly and compassionately:
"So that Mingtang will know that these pagodas are voluntarily saved by pilgrims and lay people at the foot of the mountain. Building pagodas is one of the three pillars of Buddhism and can accumulate merit. The pilgrims are quite enthusiastic and sincere about this. Our temple does not force them at all, but there is no pressure.
It’s hard to refuse, but it is indeed a bit of a waste of people and money... But every time a pagoda is built, the temple has people who go to the county government to file taxes... and this year’s floods will definitely not be built again, so Mingtang can rest assured."
"Female Bodhisattva, don't worry. My nephew looks good. Let me check my pulse again."
No, is it possible that the joke about hell also deducts my merit?
He stared at the little wooden fish in front of him with a straight face, not knowing whether he should be angry or happy.
Master Shandao recited the Buddha's name seriously and said in an extremely serious tone:
"Of course it is true, because this eminent monk is Master Zhongma, my great uncle. I remember that at that time, I was still about the same age as I am now.
Master Shandao nodded.
Ouyang Rong put down the bed curtain, closed his eyes on the pillow, concentrated his mind, and flew back to the merit tower surrounded by white clouds. He looked expectantly and curiously at the blue-gold seal characters above the wooden fish...
Master Shandao, who was holding a box of hair behind him, had a look of longing on his face when he heard this.
He did not comment, but continued: "Does your Donglin Temple have a pagoda... called the Gongde Pagoda?"
"Okay, Master." Ouyang Rong nodded, glanced out the window, and suddenly said: "The pagodas in your temple are quite tall."
[Merit: one hundred]
"Can you elaborate."
Sure enough, the merit value can not only increase, but also decrease without ringing the bell.
Ouyang suddenly understood and coughed: "It turns out to be Master Shandao. I'm disrespectful."
Master Shandao's heart skipped a beat, and he calmly observed the face of the weak-headed county magistrate.
"Then during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Daqian Dynasty, that is, when Master Lao Na was the presiding officer, the temple rebuilt a new pagoda on the original site of the Lotus Pagoda named 'Gong De' to store the Buddha's bone relics. What a coincidence.
The year when Lao Na took over as the abbot of the temple, the merit tower accidentally became flooded again..."
"Thank you, Master."
"Master-uncle has ascended, so it is naturally empty." Master Shandao smiled enigmatically, and then said curiously: "But Mingtang is quite familiar with that underground palace."
This... take a deep breath... Ouyang Rong calmed down.
Zhen turned to someone again and said: "The medical skills of the host are famous in several surrounding counties. Even the medical officers in the state medical department may not be able to compare with them. It is also thanks to the host that I saved you this time."
, you don’t like to listen to what my aunt says, but you have to listen to what the host who saved you says, right?”
Ouyang Rong complained in his heart and smiled.
Ouyang Rong turned around and took a look. The abbot of Donglin Temple was indeed an eminent monk with an immortal air.
Has it added merit? Could it be the unintentional thing he ordered Xiufa to do yesterday... Ouyang Rong was stunned for a moment, and looked at the normal appearance of everyone in the room who had not heard the sound. He immediately made an excuse of "being dizzy again" and left.
and everyone in the house.
However, when he saw it clearly, he almost stumbled and fell to death.
Even Mrs. Zhen and her maid, who consciously retreated behind the curtain when Ouyang Rong and Ouyang Rong were talking, were listening with expressions of fascination and envy.
Xiufa, who was holding a medical box on the side, interrupted and said, "Good guide is the name of Master."
"Mingtang really has the nature of Buddha. The name Pure Land is naturally not without purpose. Firstly, 'Rebirth in the Pure Land' is one of the teachings of our temple. Secondly, in that underground palace, our temple once had eminent monks, where their merits were perfected and their physical bodies were restored."
Become a Buddha and ascend to the Pure Land."
"The underground palace is named Pure Land, but is there anything special about it?"
"Twice."
Ouyang Rong listened and waited, but after waiting for a long time, he couldn't say anything. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "Huh?"
Ouyang Rong couldn't help but look sideways, "Could this abandoned underground palace be the Pure Land Palace?"
Now it's okay, you really have to be a gentleman at all times outside, otherwise this little merit is not enough to make him "laugh" - the Lezi people were furious.
"It was originally before the founding of the Daqian Kingdom...even earlier than the previous dynasty, that is, during the Southern Dynasties, there was funding from the Southern Kingdom royal family to build a magnificent lotus tower in the temple, and an underground palace underneath. However, later it was During the reign of Emperor Wen, the tower collapsed.
Ouyang Rong silently glanced at the ancient tower in the clouds in his mind. Good guy, is this a coincidence or...
In my heart, I was complaining like crazy, what are the names of all the monks from Donglin Temple? Do you dare to be more disrespectful?
Master Shandao added with a smile: "However, I am indeed good at enlightening others. If you have any confusion in life or don't understand Buddhism, you can come to me and I will welcome you at any time."
"Lao Na is a good guide..."
"Fuck, why are you still doing it upside down?!"
"It was there before, but it's gone now."
"Is this really happening?" Ouyang Rong's back broke away from the pillow.
"Damn it, what's the reason, what's the reason, what's the law of heaven? I haven't done anything wrong, right? Could it be that something happened in the distance? Didn't I just smile...eh."
"The difference between the two voices is like one slapping a girlfriend's butt, and the other slapping a gay friend's ass... The difference is quite big, the former is definitely more pleasant..."
Just when Ouyang Rong was savoring something carefully, there was a sudden sound of opening the door in the house, and someone approached quietly. He quickly gathered his mind and left the merit tower.
However, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw... big breasts.
