"Amitabha, what would you do if you were given another chance to live?" Fang Zheng asked.
"How about it? If I can survive, I don't want to be a monk anymore, I want to go home. Educate my children, take care of my wife, be their pillar of support and protect them from wind and rain," said Wu Ming.
"Amitabha." Fang Zheng clasped his hands together and pronounced the Buddha's name.
The next moment, Wu Ming only felt that everything in front of him became illusory. The rays of Buddha's light became brighter and brighter. It was so painful that he couldn't open his eyes. He subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands. After he got used to it, he was surprised to find that he was still alive.
On the edge of Wangxiang Cliff!
Fang Zheng and others had just walked onto Wangxiang Cliff. From a distance, he found Fang Zheng looking at him, clasping his hands together, and smiling at him.
Wu Ming was confused for a moment, and he couldn't tell whether the experience just now was real or illusory. If it was real, what was going on now? Time went back? If it was illusory, was it a dream? But no matter it was
What, Wu Ming understands, all this comes from Fangzheng! This little monk who looks harmless to humans and animals!
Crossing the river with a reed and dreaming of yellow beams, these two experiences made Wu Ming understand the truth completely. The little monk in front of him was definitely not simple. He was not a real Buddha, but also a living Buddha! Don't mess with him!
Since he couldn't offend Fang Zheng, his mind returned to the issue of home. Thinking of home and everything in his dream, Wu Ming's eyes suddenly turned red. Whether it was true or false, he knew one thing. Fang Zheng allowed him to see his true heart.
No longer lose yourself, this is a great favor! Thinking of this, Wu Ming strode straight towards the right direction.
"Wuming, what are you going to do? Are you still stubborn?" Zen Master Hongyan saw Wuming coming straight towards Fangzheng. He immediately became angry and reprimanded loudly! Until now, although no one has said some things, Zen Master Hongyan has already
After understanding everything, it was all Wu Ming who was playing tricks.
However, Wu Ming had no intention of stopping. His eyes were red and there was an anxious look on his face, as if he was worried about something.
Wu Ming walked very quickly. Seeing this, most of the monks had a bad feeling and thought to themselves: "Is this Wu Ming going to beat someone in anger?"
Everyone looked worriedly at Fang Zheng, Du Lao, and Hong Xiang even took a step forward, preparing to block Wu Ming.
At this moment, Fang Zheng suddenly blocked Hongxiang, clasped his hands together, and said with a smile: "Donor, have you decided where to go?"
Wu Ming was shocked, and then he knelt down in front of Fang Zheng with a bang in front of everyone's shocked eyes, and kowtowed three times. Everyone looked confused and couldn't figure out what was going on. This Wu Ming
Why did you kneel down and kowtow when you clearly didn't want to cause trouble for Fang Zheng?
And Fang Zheng, Wu Ming is also a monk, how could he call Wu Ming the donor? This is completely wrong!
Wu Ming suddenly said: "Thank you Master Fang Zheng for your guidance. Wu Ming has wasted his whole life, walking up mountains and losing himself under the pressure. Today I finally understand what I want. I have thought about it, I want to return to secular life, I want to
go home!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was confused. What is going on? Why did Wu Ming, who was just here talking to them about Buddhism and Taoism, suddenly return to secular life? Also, what does this matter have to do with Fang Zheng?
?I haven’t seen him do anything?
Everyone was confused, including Zen Master Hongyan and Zen Master Baiyun. Looking at Fang Zheng and then Wu Ming, a master discovered for the first time that his brain was not enough!
Wu Ming's decision was not what Fang Zheng had expected, and Fang Zheng was not surprised either. He said calmly: "In that case, let's go where we came from."
Wuming nodded and bowed again! Then Wuming came to Zen Master Hongyan, knelt down and bowed.
Zen Master Hongyan couldn't help but ask: "Wu Ming, what on earth is going on?"
"Master, Wu Ming is guilty. When I was bankrupt, in order to avoid debts, I went to many temples but no one was willing to take me in. It was you who took me into the Hongyan Temple to become a monk. I am grateful! But what I have done over the years is not to repay my kindness.
, but for his own selfish desires..." Wu Ming told all his original thoughts, the conflict between himself and Fang Zheng, and how he cheated Fang Zheng, and expressed his attitude. He was thinking about his family and had no intention of becoming a monk. He just wanted to return home and take responsibility.
Take up your own responsibilities and obligations.
At the end of the story, Wu Ming almost kowtowed after a few words, and still refused to stop until his forehead was bleeding. It was not until he finished speaking that he stopped and waited for Zen Master Hongyan to speak.
After everyone listened, they understood the whole story. The one who forced Fang Zheng to cross the river was Wu Ming! His purpose was just to take revenge on Fang Zheng for taking the incense...
At this point, everyone immediately looked at each other angrily, and some people shouted angrily in a low voice: "How can the Buddhist sect retain such a person?"
"Anita Buddha..."
Hong Jing's fat face turned red. After listening to Wu Ming's words, all his previous questions had been answered. It would be useless to draw conclusions without investigation and slap Fang Zheng on it. It would be fine if no one held him accountable. If someone held him accountable, then...
What a shame. Fortunately, everyone’s energy is focused on Wu Ming...
At this moment, Zen Master Hongyan sighed and said: "How could a poor monk not know about your affairs? That's why I asked you to study Buddhism day and night. I hope that one day you can achieve great enlightenment and find your true self. But... ugh! That's all.
That’s all, you have found your true self today. If that’s the case, then go down the mountain!”
"Thank you!" Wu Ming bowed again, then stood up, took off his monk's robe, uncovered his upper body, and went down the mountain in the cold winter. His footsteps were brisk, and his eyes no longer had the gloomy calculation of the past, but only relief.
easy!
Seeing this, Fang Zheng clasped his hands together and said to Wu Ming's back, "Amitabha!"
Only Fang Zheng understood what Wu Ming was thinking. For Wu Ming to be able to do this, the courage required is not something that ordinary people can achieve.
Only Fang Zheng is really envious...
Wu Ming left, but the question remained. How did Fang Zheng make him enlightened? The two of them didn't communicate. Is this all an arranged farce? But there is Zen Master Hongyan in the play. With his
The character will definitely not do this.
Everyone was confused and it was difficult to ask questions. Everyone was scratching their heads and looking at Fang Zheng from time to time. He looked calm.
Of course they don't know that Fang Zheng is also depressed now!
When I went up the mountain, I saw that Wu Ming was in a trance. Fang Zheng was afraid that he would do something stupid, so he struck first. A dream led him into his dream, hoping to see what he was going to do so that he could be prepared in advance. However, the plot was not affected by the plot.
Controlled and saw Wu Ming's thoughts and worries deep in his heart, Fang Zheng didn't think much at the time and just followed the trend. But now he is in trouble. How to explain this thing?
Fortunately, now that the meeting has begun, everyone has no chance to ask questions. This meeting is very simple, which is to assign tasks, what each temple is responsible for in the Spring Festival Prayer Assembly, everyone's position when chanting sutras, etc... The whole process
It was boring. Fang Zheng sat there with his eyes wide open, his mind already flying to nowhere.
He was the only one in Yizhi Temple, and he didn't understand anything about this. Zen Master Baiyun took special care of him, so he didn't have to do anything and just followed the chanting.
The afternoon passed like this.
In the evening, a banquet was held in Baiyun Temple to entertain the monks. Fang Zheng was alone. Fang Zheng was worried about where to sit for a while, but when he came over...
"Master Fangzheng, can you sit over here?"
"Master Fangzheng, there are too many people in Tongzhen Monastery, so you should sit here with us! We are few."
"Anita Buddha, Master Fangzheng, and a poor monk have been studying the scriptures for more than ten years. They have doubts in their hearts. How about you and I discuss it?" said an old monk with a white beard.
Fang Zheng in the front sounded okay and thanked them all. However, starting from the old monk, I guessed that Fang Zheng was an eminent monk, or in order to show his Dharma and improve himself, everyone wanted to discuss Buddhist sutra insights with Fang Zheng. Some
Some wanted to discuss the Diamond Sutra, some wanted to discuss the Medicine Master Sutra, and even Fang Zheng had never heard of many scriptures.
Fang Zheng was not proficient in Buddhist scriptures and had read more Buddhist scriptures than he could hold on one hand! How could he dare to sit down with these monks who really studied the scriptures and talk about his insights from the scriptures? There was no way he could hide.
It showed that the person above had a relaxed and casual look on his face, and kept saying "haha" in return. He did not ignore everyone. In fact, his back was covered with sweat, and he was wondering if he could find a reason to get out of the way.
Just when Fang Zheng was having small thoughts in his mind, Zen Master Hongyan spoke: "Master Fang Zheng, why don't you come and sit here with the poor monk? The poor monk is also a little curious about the current situation of Yizhi Temple."
When Fang Zheng heard this, he didn't want to talk about Buddhist scriptures, but about his family's shortcomings! This was possible. He thought he still had the ability to talk about mountains.
Seeing Fang Zheng sitting on the table in Hongyan Temple, the monks suddenly felt pity. In their eyes, Fang Zheng was no longer the young monk he was before. He was a god-like existence when he crossed the river with a reed. Zen Master Hongyan
Wu Ming, who has not been enlightened for so many years, became enlightened in one encounter. Such a person definitely has great abilities! Now Fang Zheng is still young. If time allows time to settle down, he will definitely be a master of the generation!
Everyone wants to get close to Fang Zheng, no matter what they talk about. If Fang Zheng becomes famous in the future and becomes a real master, firstly, it will be a friendship, and secondly, it will give him the ability to brag.
Although my family doesn't pay attention to these things, it is inevitable for people to socialize when they are alive. Even if they are not greedy for anything, there are still times in this society where we need to help each other. People cannot live in castles in the air...
When Fang Zheng saw those monks, big and small, looking away like hungry wolves, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, what Zen Master Hongyan chatted with him were all casual things. Hongchan was in awe of Zheng Zheng and never interrupted; Wu Xin was also an honest and responsible person and spoke very little. Because Wu Ming left, Wu
When my heart is not in a good mood, I talk less.
However, this just satisfies Fang Zheng. Talking too much would be a mistake, and the less the better.
But some people are not happy.
"Master, why are you doing this? That Fang Zheng came across the river with a reed, carrying the legacy of Patriarch Bodhidharma. With great luck, who can stop him?" A young monk about the same age as Fang Zheng was sitting.
Beside the Hong Jing, he smiled bitterly.
ps: Okay, based on the opinion of book friends, three chapters have been merged into two. Originally one chapter was 2,000 words, but now one chapter is 3,000 words.
