The fragrant tea was served, and Qin Yu took a sip, but his brows wrinkled slightly. For no other reason than this tea was too bitter.
In this day and age, very few people drink bitter tea. It would be better for the monks of the Dabei Temple not to donate money and practice asceticism. Even the tea they drink is bitter tea. Thinking about it, eating three meals a day is probably not much better.
"Masters, I think you are an ascetic." Qin Yu put down the tea and said to the old monk.
"The four elements of a monk are empty, even the physical body is empty, so why should we pursue this so-called material enjoyment? If the Buddha's body is plated with gold paint, it will definitely appear. I am a compassionate Buddha, so I should be able to save those who are destined." The old monk clasped his hands and answered.
.
After hearing the old monk's words, Qin Yu finally determined that the Dabei Temple was a type of ascetic monks. Such monks did not pursue material things, but only practiced Buddhism and lived a life of poverty.
"Master Qin, I don't know what to call this child?"
Before Qin Yu could speak, the old monk asked Haohao who was sitting next to Qin Yu.
"Master, monks don't lie. Since you have seen it, master might as well say it clearly." Qin Yu smiled. He didn't want to have a showdown with this Tai Chi who continued to fight like this.
After hearing Qin Yu's words, the old monk's expression remained unchanged, but he stretched out his hand and waved to Haohao, "Child, come here and let me take a look."
Under the smile of the old monk, Haohao walked towards him obediently. Qin Yu's eyes flashed when he saw this scene. The Buddhist magical power of mysterious sounds has the effect of bewitching people's minds.
However, Qin Yu did not stop him. As long as he watched, the old monk could not use any means.
Haohao walked up to the old monk. The old monk stretched out his old hand and touched the back of Haohao's head. His expression changed from calm at the beginning to a pair of white eyebrows that kept raising up in the back, with a look of surprise.
.
After a long time, the old monk withdrew his hand, but the next moment, a thunderous voice came out of the old monk's mouth.
"Idiot, are you willing to take refuge in my Buddha from now on? From now on, the ancient Buddha of Green Lantern will always be with you, and you will be able to put an end to distracting thoughts in this mortal world?"
The old monk's voice was so loud that the other monks nearby were shaken unconsciously, but Haohao's expression became a little dull. The next moment, his mouth opened and he was about to answer.
"Why, if you use the magical power of Buddhism to deal with a child, wouldn't the dignified abbot of Dabei Temple be afraid of being laughed at if the news spread? Or Dabei Temple doesn't take me seriously."
Qin Yu's hand appeared on Haohao's head at some point, and patted Haohao's head gently. Haohao's expression slowly returned to normal, and then he looked at the old monk in front of him, and then looked at
Looking at Qin Yu standing behind him, there was a look of confusion on his face. It was obvious that he didn't know what had just happened.
Qin Yu's expression became very cold. This monk from Dabei Temple was really brave. He dared to use Buddhist mystical sounds to bewitch Haohao under his nose. If he hadn't taken action just now, Haohao would have agreed.
.
This is because you didn't take him seriously at all. They all said that the ascetic was arrogant, but now I have really seen it.
The atmosphere became solemn at this moment. Qin Yu did not speak, but several monks at Dabei Temple felt great pressure, because Qin Yu's name was also heard by them.
Ascetic monks do not mean they have lost contact with the outside world. On the contrary, they only focus on cultivation in order to pursue strong power, and they understand more about the strong.
When the old monk saw Qin Yu's gloomy face, his expression also changed. He didn't mean to provoke Qin Yu, but he was so excited that he forgot that Master Qin was there.
"Amitabha, Master Qin, please calm down. I was confused before."
The old monk apologized quickly. He was conceited and did not think that the strength of Dabei Temple could withstand the wrath of Qin Guoshi. Qin Guoshi's achievements had been spread throughout the metaphysical world.
"I won't do it next time." Qin Yu snorted coldly, and then the sullen look on his face disappeared.
"Master Qin, what is the relationship between this son and you?" Seeing that Qin Yu was no longer obsessed with this matter, the old monk breathed a sigh of relief and then asked.
"No need to beat around the bush, I know what you want. You want to take him into your Dabei Temple, but I tell you, this is impossible." Qin Yu directly stated what the old monk was thinking.
After Qin Yu expressed his inner thoughts, the old monk's face did not change at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Since Qin Guoshi doesn't intend to let this son join our Buddhist sect, why did he bring this son to my Dabei Temple again?
"
"Sure enough, people become mature with age, and their thoughts are not confused at this time." Qin Yu sighed slightly in his heart. What he said before was just for a while of negotiation, but he didn't expect that the old monk would see through it.
.
"Master Qin, this child is seriously ill, and I'm afraid he doesn't have much time left." The old monk looked at Qin Yu, but he had doubts in his heart. He had seen that the child was seriously ill before, but since the child was related to
Qin Guoshi has connections, so according to Qin Guoshi's methods, this disease is not a big deal, so why should the child be affected by the disease?
The old monk couldn't figure it out. Naturally, he didn't know that Qin Yu couldn't use his mind power and couldn't cure Haohao.
"This kid and I just met by chance. There is no cause and effect between me and him, so I won't take action. Now it depends on whether you, Dabei Temple, want this cause and effect." Qin Yu knew that if he didn't give the other party a reasonable reason, the other party would
I won't worry about it.
"So that's it. Although the old monk is still a little confused in his heart, he also knows that he will definitely not ask any more questions, but as long as he knows this, it is enough.
"Master Qin, our Buddhist sect does have magical powers that can resolve serious illnesses in this child's body. However, there is no causal relationship between this child and my Buddhist sect, and our Buddhist sect will not take action unless this child is willing to join my Buddhist sect and become my Buddhist disciple."
Hearing the conditions proposed by the old monk, Qin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. These monks in Dabei Temple didn't care about their status as national teachers at all. To put it bluntly, I'm afraid no one in this group of monks would give face to them. If it weren't for Haohao
The situation was so special that the monks at Dabei Temple would not even welcome me.
Qin Yu had not thought about asking Haohao to join Buddhism, but it was too cruel for a ten-year-old child. He could not make the decision for Haohao.
The old monk was not in a hurry now and drank the bitter tea leisurely, because he believed that Qin Yu would make a choice.
The scene suddenly became silent.
At the same time, in the pavilion of the Shengji Evening Bell on the Phoenix Fort in Mount Emei, several monks hurriedly walked into the pavilion and then rang the bell.
The sound of the bell was clear and melodious, and once again spread throughout the entire Mount Emei. Once again, the abbots of many temples in Mount Emei gathered together and headed down the mountain to welcome him.
The bell rang, breaking the silence in the courtyard of Dabei Temple. Qin Yu raised his eyebrows, and the welcoming bell of Emei Mountain rang again.
At the same time, the young novice monk from Dabei Temple also hurriedly ran into the inner courtyard, shouting as he ran: "Uncle Master, there is a message from Baoguo Temple that the Seventh Patriarch of Zen is coming and requires all monks to greet him."
"The Seventh Patriarch of Zen?"
Hearing what the little novice monk said, Qin Yu and the old monk were stunned at the same time. When did the Seventh Patriarch appear in Zen Buddhism?
Since the Sixth Patriarch, Zen Buddhism has not passed on the teachings without passing on the mantle. Just as Bodhidharma predicted at the time, "A flower blooms with five leaves and will naturally bear fruit."
Zen Buddhism has been completely developed in the hands of the Sixth Patriarch. There will be no more ancestors after the Sixth Patriarch. This is not just for words. Therefore, the sudden appearance of the Seventh Patriarch of Zen shocked Qin Yu and the old monk.
"Did you hear correctly?" the old monk asked in a deep voice.
"Uncle Master, I heard you right. What Baoguo Temple is talking about is the Seventh Patriarch of Zen Buddhism."
The bells continued to ring, but the old monk couldn't sit still. Anyway, the Seventh Patriarch of Zen came out and he had to go and see it.
"Master Qin is really sorry, I have to go to Baoguo Temple."
"Let's go together, I'm also very curious about this seventh ancestor of Zen."
Qin Yu held Haohao's hand and walked towards the outside of Dabei Temple. He was also curious about the sudden appearance of the Seventh Patriarch of Zen Buddhism and why there was no news about him before.
When Qin Yu and the monks from Dabei Temple walked to the gate of Baoguo Temple, the place was already densely packed with monks. At the same time, all the tourists were persuaded to go down the mountain. The entire Mount Emei was completely closed and tourists were prohibited from going up the mountain.
"Master Qin is here." When Master Yuanci of Baoguo Temple saw Qin Yu's appearance, he smiled, "Today we in Mount Emei are really blessed with double happiness. First, Master Qin came here, and now the Seventh Patriarch of Zen has come to Mount Emei."
"Master Yuanci, how come I haven't heard of the Seventh Patriarch of Zen Buddhism before?" Qin Yu walked to Master Yuanci and asked.
"Master Qin, the Seventh Patriarch is an acquaintance with you. I believe Master Qin will know when the Seventh Patriarch comes up." Master Yuanci smiled mysteriously, but he gave it away.
"Are you acquainted with me?"
Qin Yu searched in his mind for people he knew. First of all, since he was the seventh ancestor of Zen, he was naturally a disciple of Buddhism. However, he didn't know many people from Buddhism, only a few of them.
Could it be one of those masters from Guangxiao Temple?
The Sixth Patriarch of Zen came from Guangxiao Temple, so it is most likely that the Seventh Patriarch was a monk from Guangxiao Temple. However, Qin Yu knew several masters of Guangxiao Temple very well. Although their attainments in Buddhism were not low, they were definitely not as good as the Seventh Patriarch.
The height of ancestors.
If it’s not the masters from Guangxiao Temple, then who is it?
A figure suddenly flashed across Qin Yu's mind, and he thought to himself: "Could it be him?"
If I say that among the Buddhist disciples I know, he is the only one who is most likely to do so. This is a person that I cannot even see through.
Just when Qin Yu was guessing, a figure finally appeared in front of Baoguo Temple. This figure was wearing a cassock and walked towards Baoguo Temple step by step, with a smile as calm as water on his face.
