He was suddenly exposed in front of many disciples and distinguished guests.
As the head of the Discipline Academy, all he does on weekdays is to punish those disciples who violate the rules and regulations. Zen Master Puci, who has always had a hot temper, even though he has been meditating and cultivating Buddhism for most of his life, he still feels the veins on his forehead twitching.
"Pu Yuan, no one will think you are mute if you don't speak."
The familiar voice reached Monk Puyuan's ears, especially when he saw his senior brother's extremely dark old face, which made the upright old Zen master shudder uncontrollably.
As for that, isn't it just telling the truth? As for sending secret messages to threaten us?
Sure enough, even though he has reached a certain age, the second senior brother’s narrow-mindedness has not changed!
He was muttering silently in his heart, but Zen Master Puyuan decisively acted obediently and buried his head back in the same corner.
"You two should behave like masters and uncles in front of your disciples and disciples."
Helplessly glaring at the two junior brothers who were playing with treasures, Zen Master Puxin turned around again and looked at Fahai seriously.
"I'm not afraid of the Zen master's jokes. To be honest, the centipede spirit did come from my disciples in Dalun Temple. He was even a monk of the same generation as me and my brothers, and was named Pudu by my master."
"This guy was already a famous demon king when he first started practicing martial arts. If he had shown his cultivation at the beginning, Master and the others would not have allowed him to enter the temple no matter what."
"Who would have known that he actually has the magical power of concealment in his hand, which can not only cover up his cultivation, but also hide the evil spirit."
"The master was not very careful for a moment. He took advantage of the opportunity when several master uncles were out attending the Dharma assembly. Not only did he steal the mental visualization diagram left by the ancestor, he was also seriously injured by a sneak attack. Not long after that
Then he passed away."
When talking about the pain point, all the eminent monks of the common generation sighed.
"I would like to ask, haven't you ever thought about going down the mountain to capture that monster?"
Fa Hai felt something strange and couldn't help but question it.
"You don't know, but that guy knows the whereabouts of the uncles, so he gathered a group of demon kings to ambush them halfway."
"In addition, he pretended that the temple gate was in trouble and escaped alone with serious injuries. Even though several of his uncles were highly skilled, they were unprepared for him and were suddenly attacked from behind... In the end, only the younger uncle fought to save his life.
.”
"Afterwards, the demons surrounded the mountain. If it weren't for the large formation protecting the mountain, which could barely resist the enemies, the legacy of Dalun Temple might have been lost today."
"Suffering from this disaster, the Buddhist monks of Dalun Temple have gone from ten to fifty-six. Moreover, since that guy turned to Buddhism, his cultivation has become increasingly advanced. If we want to bring him back to the temple, it will be impossible unless we and the three fellow apprentices take action together.
Impossible."
"However, inheritance is the most important thing. Whenever I leave the mountain, my junior uncle, who is seriously injured and endangered, is unable to preside over the formation to protect the mountain. Dalun Temple is suppressing one party. There are demons and ghosts everywhere, but I can't let down my guard for a moment."
"If the young elder hadn't sent back the ancestor's treasure today, we don't know when we would be able to see this thing again."
In its heyday, Dalun Temple, which had dozens of dharma images, was one of the best among Buddhist holy places. However, it suffered this disaster and almost fell into the ranks of the first-class sects.
But it makes people feel sad.
"Amitabha, with a little effort, several senior brothers praised me."
Fahai recited the Buddha's name, which was quite reluctant.
He had never thought that Dalun Temple would have such a miserable fate, and now he was a little embarrassed to bring it up for a kick-off... No, it was just a matter of sparring.
"By the way, Zen Master Fahai returned the Buddha treasure to me as a benefactor of Dalun Temple. If you have anything you want, I will grant it to you if the temple can satisfy it."
After wiping old tears from the corners of his eyes and feeling deeply, Zen Master Puxin put away the silk book that recorded the teachings of the Great Sun Tathagata properly, hid it in his sleeve, and made a serious promise to Fahai.
"this……"
Fa Hai suddenly felt moved.
If at this time, he proposed the development of Confucianism and Taoism in the future, he would ask the monks of Dalun Temple not to be embarrassed. Thinking of his love for the incense, he would agree without pointing out the other side, right?
When he thought of doing it, Fahai thought for a while and then said it tactfully.
"Even if Zen Master Fahai doesn't say anything about such a trivial matter, we won't interfere too much."
Unexpectedly, Monk Puxin agreed without even thinking about it.
Seeing Fa Hai's stunned look of disbelief, he patiently explained with some humor.
"Dalun Temple is no longer what it used to be. The predecessors are withering away. Being able to cultivate the disciples into a core force is my only wish. However, I don't want to interfere with worldly affairs."
"Besides, our purpose of cultivating Buddhism is to reach the other shore and seek supreme wisdom. If anyone who comes after us can walk ahead of us old bones, we will only be happy, so why should we stop it."
Shaking his head, Zen Master Puxin looked calm and calm.
"As for the sect's inheritance, maybe the Zen master doesn't believe it. Most of the disciples in this temple are orphans who have lost their parents, or their parents are devout believers, so they will accept it."
"Does the Zen master think that even in the prosperous era of Confucianism and Taoism, all unethical things could be eradicated?"
I didn't expect that the other party would be so open-minded. Instead, it seemed that I was judging a gentleman with a villain's heart.
Fa Hai laughed out loud, raised his hands and bowed:
"But I thought too badly of my fellow seniors. I thought I would have to do it, but now it seems that it is not necessary."
After saying that, Fahai waved and took back the purple gold alms bowl, ignoring the incomprehensible looks from everyone.
"Zen Master is so frank, so we can't seem too petty."
Seeing Fahai taking the initiative to take back the Buddha treasures he had entrusted to him from the void, Monk Puxin was stunned, and then he smiled and removed the mountain-protecting formation, revealing the original appearance of Dalun Temple.
"If Confucianism and Taoism can really be what the Zen Master said by then, why would I want to give up this old face and speak kind words for those who come after me? Not counting now, what else does the Zen Master want?"
Raising his hands in a welcoming gesture, the old Zen master actually led Fa Hai to the Main Hall.
"this……"
Fahai couldn't help but reach out and pluck the beads in his hand, but for a while he didn't have any good ideas.
Seeing that Fa Hai was deep in thought, the monk Pu Yuan who was following him slapped his forehead.
"Senior Brother Abbot, it's not the place where the Patriarch of Houshan used to sit and die, leaving behind a palm technique that has never been passed down. Why don't I take Junior Brother Fahai to have a look, and I think I can understand it."
The back mountain, placed in any sect, is obviously not a place where others can set foot, especially where the ancestor is buried.
Fahai just wanted to decline politely, but unexpectedly Zen Master Puxin thought about it and actually agreed to this ridiculous proposal.
This time it was Fahai's turn to be surprised and uncertain.
By entertaining me so warmly, could it be that they wanted to gain a backing and then use other means to trap me?
Fahai remained calm on the surface, but secretly Fahai suddenly became alert.
