Chu Li was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Monk Huiguang has a very good relationship with He Jin. He obviously learned the news about Xiao Qi from He Jin and knew that Xiao Qi was going to be in seclusion for a hundred years. He immediately figured out what Chu Li was thinking. He would practice hard for a hundred years and then renew his relationship.
Chu Li was silent.
Monk Huiguang said solemnly: "If you can't truly cut off the worldly bond, you should still become a lay disciple!"
Chu Li sighed: "Master, if I break the precepts, what will be the punishment?"
Monk Huiguang said: "Abolish martial arts and drive them out of the temple!... By then, even lay disciples will not be able to do it."
The implication of his words was very clear. Instead of being expelled from the temple with his martial arts revoked in the future, it would be better to just be a lay disciple now, be able to come and go freely, and stay with his wife forever.
Chu Li said: "If I give up my martial arts and practice it again, will the temple hold me accountable?"
Monk Huiguang laughed, shook his head and said: "Do you think you can still practice martial arts after the temple has abolished your martial arts? You are naive!"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Monk Huiguang snorted and said: "The martial arts in the temple uses a secret technique. It is impossible to rebuild a completely disabled person. What's more, advanced martial arts require profound Buddhist teachings. You can't cut off the worldly bond.
With persistence, Buddhism cannot be achieved, and martial arts cannot be practiced to its depth.”
Chu Li smiled and said: "If this is true, how come I can cultivate the Heavenly Ear?"
Monk Huiguang frowned and said nothing.
This was exactly what he didn't understand, and what all the monks in the temple didn't understand.
Logically speaking, if there are fetters and worries in Chu Li's heart, it should be because the spiritual platform is not clean and the mind is not empty. It is impossible to enter the deep state of meditation and it is impossible to practice and obtain supernatural powers.
But it happened that he was able to cultivate magical powers within a year, breaking their common sense and old habits, which made them all feel strange. Moreover, they were even more surprised when they learned that Chu Li had also developed magical powers.
There are also many eminent monks from the outer monastery of Daci'en Temple who possess two or even several magical powers. However, they often have these abilities only after they have practiced for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, after their dusty minds have been purified, and the pearl of their mind shines brightly.
It is natural that the body possesses many magical powers.
Chu Li is completely different. He has a beautiful wife with strong feelings, which is the exact opposite of seeing through and getting rid of him. How can he achieve two magical powers?
It can only be said that he was born in a monastery since childhood, and maybe he was the reincarnation of an eminent monk with the wisdom of the past.
Chu Li said: "Master, I have no problem practicing Buddhism."
"This..." Monk Huiguang hesitated, not wanting to harm Chu Li.
He vaguely felt that Chu Li was in the world of mortals and had a beautiful wife, but he still had such a deep understanding of Buddhism. It could only be said that his Buddha nature was profound and far superior to that of ordinary people. He was probably reincarnated like the eminent monks and virtuous men mentioned by his predecessors.
Come.
It is difficult to gain supernatural powers without seeing through the world of mortals and life and death. This is an undoubted fact. Seeing through and gaining both at the same time, this kind of character is beyond your own reach. I can only express my admiration for it.
But no matter how much I admire you, you still can't violate the temple rules. If you really want to break the precepts, your martial arts will be abolished. In serious cases, you will be expelled from the temple.
Abolition of martial arts is inevitable, but expulsion from the temple depends on whether the consequences are serious.
In order to make Chu Li retreat, he became even more serious.
However, Chu Li's qualifications are extremely good, and he is a superior master. Once he acquires profound Buddhist teachings, he will definitely make rapid progress in the martial arts of Daci'en Temple, and he can practice to an extremely deep level.
Once he practices, he will definitely become a top master, and he really can't bear to hinder him.
"That's all!" Monk Huiguang sighed, and saluted in the direction of the inner temple of Da Ci'en Temple. He murmured something in his mouth, as if he was repenting for his sins. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Chu Li: "Today I will only talk about today's affairs.
, Destiny is unpredictable, and who can know it all? If you want to keep the precepts, then get tonsured!"
"Thank you, Master!" Chu Li smiled.
Monk Huiguang sighed: "I hope I won't regret this decision in the future!"
Chu Li smiled and said: "Master will never regret it!"
"Amitabha!" Monk Huiguang said solemnly, with a solemn expression.
——
In the main hall of the outer temple, in front of the huge Buddha statue.
Chu Li knelt down on a futon, closed his eyes slightly and remained motionless.
There were nearly a hundred old monks standing on both sides, all with solemn expressions and calm demeanor like Buddha statues. There were more than two hundred middle-aged monks standing outside the hall, and behind them there were more than a hundred young monks.
Monk Huiguang stood in front of him, and next to him stood novice monk Dingming.
The handsome Dingming held a small sandalwood incense plate in his hands with a solemn expression.
Under the watchful eyes of all the senior monks, Monk Huiguang first recited and upheld the seven precepts of Daci'en Temple, and then asked Chu Li: "Is it possible to keep the precepts?"
"Yes." Chu Li replied respectfully.
"Today, I will remove the roots of troubles and cut off all the fate of the mortal world!" Monk Huiguang gently wiped Chu Li's head with his right palm, and his hair fell down, revealing a shiny bald head, which made Chu Li's sword-shaped eyebrows more straight and heroic.
people.
Monk Hui Guang stretched out his hand and Ding Ming hurriedly offered the incense plate. Three thick incense sticks were burning in the plate.
Monk Huiguang picked up three sticks of thick incense, turned around and bowed to the Buddha statue, then turned back and pressed it on Chu Li's head.
Chu Li felt a splitting headache, as if three nails had been driven in.
He frowned but remained motionless, knowing that these three incense sticks were strange and definitely different from ordinary incense sticks.
Ordinary incense will not leave any trace or pain when pressed on your head.
Monk Huiguang picked up three sticks of thick incense, and three black spots appeared clearly and conspicuously on Chu Li's head.
"Chu Li, today I give you the Dharma title Ding Ru. I hope your heart will be fixed on the Tathagata and don't get distracted!" Monk Hui Guang said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Master." Chu Lihe tithes.
Monk Huiguang picked up a gray monk's robe from the incense tray next to him.
Chu Li stood up.
Monk Huiguang put the gray monk's robe on him, and Chu Li put it on, covering up the white robe. The gray monk's robe was simple, and Chu Li's bald head and ring scar were conspicuous. Paired with the simple gray monk's robe, he had a unique temperament.
There is no incongruity in the gray monk's robe when he wears it, as if he was born to wear this monk's robe.
Monk Huiguang said in a deep voice: "Dingru, after today, you will be a disciple of Daci'en Temple. From now on, you will be a disciple of Daci'en Temple. You should follow the precepts everywhere. If you break the precepts, you will be punished according to the temple rules!"
"Yes, Master!" Chu Lihe said.
Monk Huiguang Heshi bowed to everyone: "Thank you all masters for coming here to witness!"
"Amitabha..." All the old monks chanted the Buddha's name in unison, with low and solemn voices.
Everyone in Chu Li's court saluted together.
A tall old monk with white beard and white eyebrows, white hair and a boyish face slowly came to Chu Li and said gently: "Dingru, you have profound Buddha nature. Even if you practice martial arts, don't waste your Buddhist practice."
"Yes, Abbot Abbot." Chu Lihe said.
This old monk, whose name is Xinji, is the abbot of Daci'en Temple, but he is not proficient in martial arts. He possesses several magical powers, which are hidden deep and hidden from outsiders.
Monk Huiguang said: "Abbott, today I will take Dingru into the inner temple to practice."
"... Let's stay in another temple." Abbot Xinji said slowly, "We will live in Tianxinyuan."
Hui Guang hesitated.
Xinji smiled and said: "Singru is the seed of Buddhism. Even if I practice martial arts with you Huiguang, I still have to focus on Buddhism."
