Ye Qingyun originally wanted to travel around the mountains and rivers.
But I didn’t expect that just one day after setting off, the nature of the trip was a bit off.
"Donor, would you like to know more about Shaolin Temple, the holy land of Buddhism?"
Huikong looked peaceful and said this to a passer-by.
It's not just him.
Xuhai and Xuzhu are also like Huikong. When they catch someone, they tell them that they are related to Buddhism and ask them if they want to become a monk.
Later, even Song Rouer joined their ranks.
just now.
Song Rouer met a muscular man.
She also asked people seriously if they wanted to become a monk?
The strong man stared at Song Rou'er, his eyes full of greed.
"If I become a monk, can I be intimate with you?"
Song Rouer was so angry on the spot.
The strong man was also beaten violently by Xu Hai and Xu Zhu, and almost had him shaved forcibly.
The three masters and disciples asked all the questions, but no one was willing to become a monk.
I was scolded several times.
Later, the old blind man couldn't stand it anymore.
He also began to persuade people to become monks.
The old blind man is indeed a fortune teller, and he is a very good talker.
At the beginning, I met an old man. The old blind man went up and spoke for a few words.
The old man knelt down in front of Huikong on the spot, crying and shouting that he wanted to become a monk. He even said that if he was not ordained, he would die in front of Huikong.
This greatly moved Huikong.
He took out a razor on the spot and shaved the old man's head directly.
He also gave him the dharma title Xujing.
Ever since.
Ye Qingyun's traveling team immediately gained an additional member.
With the old blind man's successful persuasion experience, Huikong hoped that the old blind man could play a role in allowing him to recruit more Buddhist disciples.
The old blind man slapped his chest.
No problem at all.
The first day of travel.
Counting Xu Jing, he has three apprentices.
The second day of travel.
He took on seven more apprentices.
The third day of travel.
A group of people came to a village.
The old blind man went in and wandered around.
When the results came out, more than fifty villagers were followed behind them.
Each of these villagers rushed to Huikong eagerly, begging Huikong to accept them as his disciples.
This made Huikong so happy that snot bubbles came out of his nose.
He quickly took out his razor and shaved the villagers himself.
Ye Qingyun stood behind, his face turned dark when he saw it.
How long will it take for these fifty-odd people to shave their heads?
Is he just going to wait here?
Ye Qingyun couldn't help it anymore.
He walked behind Huikong.
"Ahem, Huikong, why don't you just accept a disciple when you come back?"
Huikong didn't look back and concentrated on shaving the villagers' heads.
Ye Qingyun was speechless for a while.
This monk was already in a daze.
It seems that shaving his head is his real job.
"Huikong, do you know your sin?"
Ye Qingyun suddenly shouted loudly.
Huikong was frightened.
Almost scalped the villagers.
"Son?"
Huikong looked at Ye Qingyun with some confusion.
Ye Qingyun clasped his hands behind his back and had a cold face.
"Huikong, as a disciple of Buddhism, have you forgotten the Buddha's teachings?"
Huikong shuddered and quickly put down the razor.
"I wonder what the disciple has done?"
Ye Qingyun pointed at these villagers.
"They were all deceived by the old blind man, but you want to ordain them. This is adding mistakes to mistakes. It is simply nonsense."
The old blind man looked very embarrassed.
But what Ye Qingyun said was right.
These villagers were indeed tricked by the old blind man.
He was very eloquent when he opened his mouth and could talk the dead into living things.
It is simply too easy to deceive these villagers who have never seen the world.
"As a disciple of Buddhism, I practice Buddhism to resolve the doubts of sentient beings and free them from suffering, rather than to trick them into entering Buddhism."
"Monks don't lie, your current behavior is simply a shame to monks!"
Ye Qingyun deliberately said something very serious to make Huikong completely give up the idea of accepting disciples along the way.
Huikong stood there in a daze, his face full of guilt.
"Holy Son, this disciple realizes his mistake!"
Huikong suddenly knelt in front of Ye Qingyun.
Xu Hai and Xu Zhu also quickly asked these villagers to go home.
The old blind man also came forward to comfort him, and then the villagers all went back honestly.
Fortunately, we have received ten people in the past two days, plus another villager who has just been ordained.
Altogether there are ten people.
These ten people have been ordained, and Huikong has also given them dharma titles, so they are considered official Buddhist disciples.
Ye Qingyun did not let Huikong drive these ten people away.
It made Huikong feel better.
There are not many people in Shaolin Temple all the time.
Seeing that there were more and more monks in other temples, Huikong looked calm on the surface, but felt a little anxious in his heart.
After all, my Shaolin Temple was named after Ye Qingyun, so it should be the largest and most prosperous temple under Fuyun Mountain.
But there are so few disciples.
Huikong had long wanted to go out and recruit disciples in person.
But he was too involved for a while, which delayed Ye Qingyun's travel plan.
"Holy Son, please punish this disciple."
Huikong took the initiative to plead guilty.
Ye Qingyun looked at him sideways.
"You will be punished by reciting the Heart Sutra all the way without stopping."
"yes!"
In this way, everyone continued to set off.
It's just that the team has grown.
And Huikong kept reciting the Heart Sutra along the way.
After reciting it for two days, everyone in the group was so recited that their scalps went numb.
It feels like Huikong’s voice is chanting sutras all the time.
Especially Ye Qingyun.
Everyone else is a cultivator and does not need to sleep.
Ye Qingyun can't do it.
You have to sleep when the time comes.
As soon as I fell asleep, the sound of Huikong's chanting could be heard in my dream.
In desperation, Ye Qingyun asked Huikong to stop reading.
But Huikong was very stubborn.
He feels that he has done something wrong and must be punished.
If the Heart Sutra says that you should recite it all the way, then you should recite it all the way.
Not even one step less is enough.
Ye Qingyun had no choice but to let him recite silently in his mind, so that at least he could not hear his voice.
Although the ten disciples Huikong accepted were tricked by the old blind man.
But he sincerely worships the Buddha.
Along the way, he practiced with Xu Hai and Xu Zhu and completely integrated into Buddhism.
Ye Qingyun also found it interesting and gave them a title.
Ten Arhats!
Day 1 of travel.
The group of people has gradually approached the border of Tianwu Dynasty.
Going further east, you can reach the Sky Split Peak.
But for some reason, the closer you get to Split Heaven Peak, the more people you can see.
Moreover, they are basically all cultivators.
Some are obviously from other countries.
"It's strange. Is this Tiantian Peak really so famous? Do so many people come to visit it on weekdays?"
Ye Qingyun looked confused.
The old blind man and Chu Hanyang sensed something was wrong.
The two of them went to inquire about it.
Soon, the two of them came back with solemn faces.
"Master Ye, something big is going to happen at Split Heaven Peak."
The old blind man said this as soon as he came back.
Ye Qingyun was startled.
"What happened?"
"Emperor Yang Shenting of the Xuanyuan Dynasty took the initiative to invite Emperor Wu Dongfang Su to fight."
"And the place for the battle is here at Split Heaven Peak."
