Hong Jing sighed: "Hey... how can you be bright when you are born with Yu..." After saying that, Hong Jing rubbed the little monk's head lovingly and said: "Yixing, this time the master promised you something, I'm afraid there will be changes.
Come on. It’s Master who delayed you..."
"Master, don't say that. The word "destiny" means "destiny" and "destiny". Before fate comes, no matter how many calculations you make, it's useless. A group of young monks can see clearly." A group of young monks said with a smile.
Hong Jing's mood improved a lot, but he still sighed: "After the Spring Festival Prayer Assembly, there is an internal Buddhist Dharma exchange meeting every year. Every year, one person is selected among the rookies to lecture in public. Not to mention that he can
After receiving advice from many masters such as Zen Master Baiyun, the point is that if the teaching is good, the understanding is high, and it is recognized by everyone, the temple where it is located will definitely rise and its reputation will greatly increase.
Being a teacher also has selfish motives. Yi Xing, you have been very enlightened since you were a child, and you are a rare genius. In the past few years, genius disciples have been appearing in Baiyun Temple and other monasteries. I was afraid that you could not compare with them, so I did not sign you up.
I told you to hide. It wasn’t until this year, after it was confirmed that no one in the major monasteries was your opponent, that I signed you up.
Who would have thought that on the way there would be someone more evil than the evil one, Fang Zheng! Crossing the river with a reed..." At this point, Hong Jing closed his eyes, desperate! For no other reason than this move of crossing the river with a reed.
, can push Fang Zheng to the throne of this year’s Newcomer King, preaching scriptures!
However, Yi Xing smiled disapprovingly and said: "Master, I have never seen you worry so much about gains and losses in the past years. What happened this year? Although this opportunity is rare, look at Zen Master Hongyan, isn't he also the abbot of a small or medium-sized temple? However, just because of his superb Buddhist teachings
, even Zen Master Baiyun must treat each other with courtesy. In the past, you also told me that fame and fortune are vain, but only Buddhism is true. Today, you..." At this point, I didn't say a single line.
Hong Jing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You little brat, I have been lectured by you today." Then, Hong Jing shook his head and said: "But these days are different from the past. A pilgrim came here a while ago and wanted to help us expand.
Temple. Once expanded, the size of our temple will reach the size of a medium-sized temple, which is a qualitative leap. However, the other party has been hesitant recently, hesitating whether to donate to another temple or our temple. I want to take advantage of this opportunity.
, destroy the reputation of our Jinzhu Temple and completely overwhelm Xuanlong Temple."
"Uh, there is still this matter? Master, why didn't you tell me earlier?" The group was stunned.
Hong Jing smiled bitterly and said: "I told you earlier? Let me tell you? I won't tell you if it's useful. I will never let you compete for this spot with utilitarianism. If you want to go to hell, just be a teacher."
The group was silent for a long time before asking: "Master, what did you say now?"
"Now? The dust has settled. With Fangzheng, we have no hope. You know what you know, and that's all. Okay, let's eat quickly." After Hong Jing finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
The group also ate slowly, but there was a glimmer of light in their big eyes. Crossing the river with a reed?
During the meal, Fangzheng felt quite comfortable. He didn't eat a few bites of rice, and he ate less vegetables. Although they were all vegetarian dishes, the vegetarian dishes at Baiyun Temple were much better than those at Yizhi Temple!
Fangzheng is not very good at cooking, so the green vegetables from Yizhi Temple are basically stewed in a big pot. But Baiyun Temple is different. There are all kinds of methods of roasting, stir-frying, and deep-frying. Although it is green vegetables, the finished product is exquisite.
Incomparable, the taste is also sour, sweet, bitter and spicy.
It may only be palatable to other people, but for Fang Zheng, who eats rice every day and stews it randomly, it is a feast for the eyes. It is extremely comfortable to eat. The only pity is that the rice is far inferior to crystal rice, but anyway
I endured it.
After the meal was finished, everyone dispersed, and a monk from Baiyun Temple arranged for everyone to stay.
Fang Zheng looked at the brightly lit houses and thought about the environment of Yizhi Temple back then, and couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of Baiyun Temple, the conditions are good."
After getting on the bed, Fang Zheng fell asleep and said nothing all night.
The next day, in order to welcome the Spring Festival Prayer Assembly, all the monks rehearsed briefly. The whole process, Fang Zheng just followed along, getting into position when it was time to chant sutras and chanting sutras, which was quite simple.
At this moment, a monk ran over and said, "Amitabha, Abbot Fangzheng, do you have a photo of Youzhi Temple?"
"Uh, why do you need a photo?" Fang Zheng asked subconsciously.
The monk smiled honestly and said: "Well... we didn't find any relevant pictures of your temple before, and the posters we made were all paintings. When the abbot saw it, he was very angry and reprimanded the brothers. Let's get a picture.
But..." At this point, the monk couldn't continue, and his dark skin turned a little red.
Fang Zheng immediately laughed, then clasped his hands and saluted: "Amitabha, I don't blame you for this, it's the poor monk. The Yizhi Temple is too small, so it's normal that I can't find it on the Internet. The poor monk has photos here, and I will pass them on to you now.
You're fine."
The monk thought that Fang Zheng would be angry and was prepared to be scolded. Even when he came to ask for a photo this time, he just lost the guessing game and came here. He never expected that Fang Zheng, a legendary figure, would
The abbot was so easygoing, and the black-faced monk immediately burst into laughter, took the photo, and went happily.
Fang Zheng looked at the monk's back, wiped his nose, and said with a smile: "Who said the monks in Baiyun Temple are all arrogant, I think they are all quite good..."
Until now, Fang Zheng still doesn't know his status. With the combination of a reed crossing the river and the legacy of Bodhidharma, his status has already risen. He is a star among the monks, and most of the monks listen to
I came here with the legendary story of Patriarch Bodhidharma, and the crossing of the river with a reed is even more popular. If you can't see the Patriarch Bodhidharma, but you can see Fang Zheng, you will naturally gain points and feel in awe.
Knowing that his Yizhi Temple was finally going to be on the billboard and its reputation was finally going to really spread, Fang Zheng was a little excited.
He didn't go anywhere else, so he squatted at the entrance of Baiyun Temple where the advertising billboard was and waited.
More than ten minutes later, the black-faced monk came over with several monks. After greeting Fang Zheng, he hung up the brand new poster. Fang Zheng looked at the gate of Yizhi Temple above and the big golden characters and smiled: "Yizhi
Dad, our One Finger Temple has finally been hung at the entrance of Baiyun Temple, have you seen it?"
In a happy mood, Fang Zheng returned to the meditation room, took out the scriptures he was going to recite tomorrow, and started reciting them to prepare for tomorrow.
Just then, there was a noise outside.
Fang Zheng went out to take a look and saw a few monks pointing at the roof and shouting something. Fang Zheng looked up and saw a red monkey's butt disappearing into the woods.
Then Fangzheng heard a monk saying dissatisfiedly: "This monkey is too much. He comes to the temple every now and then to steal things. He stole tributes a while ago, and now he even attacks the Buddha statues. Alas... If I hadn't been a monk, if he hadn't
To protect animals, I have to beat him until he can’t take care of himself!”
"There is no way to protect animals and living ancestors. Let's go, just drive them away, hey..." another monk complained.
Fang Zheng watched a few big and powerful monks helplessly take a monkey, and he suddenly became happy. It turned out that he was not the only one to be harassed by animals! Thinking about the squirrels who were so confident in stealing things in the first place, Fang Zheng immediately regained his balance.
He returned to his room and continued to meditate. At midnight, Fang Zheng felt hungry, so he took out his package and looked for crystal rice balls to eat, and then...
"Where are my rice balls?!" Fang Zheng looked at the empty package and almost cursed his mother in anger. Fortunately, he had been pretending to be a monk for a long time and could hold it back. However, he still screamed in his heart: "That bastard is such a grandson, how many rice balls are there?"
Stealing? Are you still stealing? Don’t you know that stealing from the rich is not from the poor? Don’t you even know that there is a right way to steal?”
Gululu...
His stomach was churning, Fangzheng touched his belly and opened the door, wondering if he should go find something to eat?
Just then, there was a crash in the tree.
Fang Zheng looked up and saw a shadow squatting on the tree, grinning at him.
Fang Zheng looked carefully and saw that it was a long-haired white monkey!
Seeing the monkey and thinking about what happened during the day, Fang Zheng slapped his forehead and shouted: "Monkey, did you steal my rice ball?"
Ga?! The monkey was startled, and pressed Fang Zheng with a strange look on his face. Then he pointed at Fang Zheng tremblingly and said, "Can you speak?"
Fang Zheng's face darkened, how come animals have such virtues when they hear him speak? I completely forgot that if an animal could talk, then everyone would probably have such virtues...
Fang Zheng said: "Of course the poor monk can talk. Stop talking nonsense. Where is the poor monk's rice balls?"
"I'll give you a rice ball and I'll tell you." Monkey scratched his butt and looked at Fang Zheng with a look of disgust, but when he looked at Fang Zheng's room, his eyes were burning.
Fang Zheng didn’t need to ask. After living with animals for so long, these simple guys had almost everything written on their faces, and they could understand it at a glance! So Fang Zheng said: “Steal my rice balls, and you still want rice balls? Make the poor monk hungry.
Belly, what are you going to do about this?"
"Is that rice ball really yours?" Monkey stared at Fang Zheng and asked.
"Nonsense, there is no other family in the world!" Fang Zheng said confidently.
"Really or not? I think you are similar to those stupid monkeys who have no hair and can't climb trees. Why don't they have it if you have it? Did you pick all the peaches in the family by yourself?" the monkey asked seriously.
Fang Zheng was immediately speechless. He found that it was indeed a bit difficult to discuss such cross-racial issues with this country bumpkin monkey whom he had never met before.
So he went straight to the topic and said: "Stop talking about useless things. This is my home. What you took from my home is not stealing? @#￥#@......0"
"Okay, stop making ink marks. Why don't I just eat your two rice balls? What's your name? Mr. Monkey eats as many things as those hairless monkeys, but I haven't seen them make ink marks on you like this." The monkey shouted impatiently.
.
Fang Zheng was shocked that he was disliked by the monkey! Fang Zheng endured his anger and asked curiously: "Then what do they do?"
"Throwing brooms, smashing peaches, etc., jumping and squealing, they are quite enthusiastic anyway, but they are a bit clumsy. But they are more straightforward than you. They often shout and then take action. No one is as clueless as you."
Monkey said seriously.
Fang Zheng: "@#￥@%...This monkey really takes other people's kindness as a fool!"
