The old monk did not invite others, which immediately aroused their dissatisfaction.
Azi shouted: "Can't my mother and I go? Do you, Xiaolin, look down on women?"
The old monk Heshi apologized and said: "The female donor misunderstood. There are female donors who come to the temple to worship Buddha on weekdays, and we have never refused them entry. It's just that the front row seats are limited now, so..."
Ah Zi curled her lips and wanted to refute, but Ruan Xingzhu quickly pulled her arm and said softly: "A Zi, don't cause trouble to Dad, we will listen to the master."
"Mom, you..." Ah Zi was furious and didn't want to openly contradict her, so she stamped her feet and said nothing.
The old monk smiled and raised his hand again.
Unexpectedly, one wave just calmed down and another wave rose again. Bao BuTong said: "Old monk, do you think we are servants and not worthy of your Xiaolin's stool? Why don't we two compete and whoever wins will win?"
Take a seat?"
The old monk didn't seem to hear what he said. He still stretched his hands and looked at Li Jiang.
In fact, Li Jiang didn't like being different and troublesome in his heart, but not defending his subordinates in public would make others look down on him, and would also increase the distance between the four families who already doubted him, so he could only cough and prepare to speak.
But as soon as he said the word "master", the rest of his words were interrupted by a loud noise.
Everyone here looked in surprise and saw a gap in the circle of people directly in front of them. Hundreds of people knelt on one knee, cupped their fists and congratulated: "Congratulations, Lord, on your victory!" They stopped talking three times in a row.
Xu Zhu was so angry that he fought with Jiumozhi. Now he was focused on by everyone, and hundreds of people knelt down to congratulate him. His temper was rising again, and he was immediately at a loss.
He said in a panic to the kneeling people: "Grandma Yu, Mr. Wu, why are you here too? Please get up quickly, don't upset the young monk."
The women among the kneeling people are eight of the nine tribes of Lingjiu Palace, and the men are the masters of the Thirty-six Cave, the masters of the Seventy-two Islands and their subordinates. Together, hundreds of people are really like Yingying Yanyan.
, with a great reputation.
Granny Yu bowed and said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates received a letter from the four girls Mei Lan, Zhu Ju and learned that the thieves and bald men in Xiaolin Temple were going to make trouble for the master, so they notified the subordinates in all caves and islands and came over at starry night.
.Fortunately, the master is safe and sound, and my subordinates are overjoyed."
Xu Zhu was shocked when he heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly and said: "The Xiaolin sect is my sect. You must not be rude with your words. Please apologize to the abbot of Xiaolin Temple."
A look of fear suddenly appeared on Po Yu's face, and she bowed again: "Yes, I have confessed my sin."
Then she stood up and walked to Abbot Xuanci, with her knees bent down and ready to kneel down and kowtow.
Xuanci hated her for insulting Monk Xiaolin and said, "No need," but made no move with his hands and let her kneel down.
However, Grandma Yu did not kneel down in the end. Her knees were bent halfway and she could not bend them anymore because she felt a force pulling her up out of thin air.
Several people sitting on the middle chair turned around in surprise. Grandma Yu also looked up and saw a young Taoist priest in Taoist robes stretching out his hand and looking at her with a smile on his face.
Granny Yu shouted: "Taoist Li, it's you!"
Li Jiang said: "It's me. Grandma Yu is here well. Get up. The people in Lingjiu Palace are not servile people."
Grandma Yu immediately burst into tears and said with trembling lips: "Taoist Li, but... but the Lord..."
Li Jiang clenched his palms into fists, and Granny Yu couldn't help but stand up straight, and then heard him say: "It's okay, let your lord come to me."
Grandma Yu knew that the Lord respected this second brother very much and basically obeyed his words, so she felt confident in her heart and said, "Yes, Taoist Li."
He said, "Honored Lord," and the Lord arrived. Before Granny Yu could step away, Xu Zhu ran over and said with a smile: "Second brother, fourth brother, are you here too?"
He knew that Duan Yu had come to Xu Zhu, but he didn't have a chance to say hello. However, Li Jiang's arrival made him the most happy, as if he had a stronghold in his body immediately.
"Well, not only am I here, but our eldest brother is also here." Li Jiang pointed at Xiao Feng and said.
"Ah? Is it true that the second brother said that he was going to find the eldest brother?" Xu Zhu realized that he had made a mistake as soon as he spoke the words. He scratched Guang Guang's forehead in embarrassment before bowing and saying: "Greetings to the eldest brother. Poor...
I am the third child, Xu Zhuzi."
Xiao Feng laughed heartily, held Xu Zhu's forearms with both hands, and said: "Well, third brother, you and I don't need to be polite, please get up quickly!"
He used 50% of his strength in this lift. He originally wanted to pull Xu Zhu up, but he didn't expect that after the strength was released, it was like a cow in the sea and Xu Zhu's body was motionless, so he was not lifted up.
Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment, and a thought flashed through his mind. This third brother's skills are really deep! I'm afraid that my second brother and my fourth brother can't compare to him.
In a daze, Xu Zhu had finished saluting and followed Xiao Feng's gesture and stood up straight.
Li Jiang spoke up at the right time and said: "Third brother, don't blame Granny Yu, they are also concerned about your safety. Also, it's not wrong to call Xiao Lin a thief and a bald man."
The whole audience was in an uproar as soon as this statement came out. Monk Xiaolin's face was excited, and the bearded one was shaking violently.
Xu Zhu's eyes widened and he asked in an unbelievable tone: "Second brother, why?"
Li Jiang smiled slightly and said to Xu Zhu: "Recite the Diamond Sutra for me!"
Xu Zhu was confused, but he knew that his second brother was right, so he had no choice but to say: "I heard that for a moment, the Buddha was in the only tree in the Garden of Solitude in Savatthi State..."
"Thirty-second grade." Li Jiang suddenly interrupted.
Xu Zhu paused, thought for a moment, and then recited: "Subhuti! If someone is full of immeasurable...all conditioned dharmas are like bubbles in dreams, like dew, or like lightning, they should observe it like this." The Buddha said this sutra,
Elder Subhuti mentioned that all the monks, nuns, Upasakas, Upasikas, and all the gods, humans, and asuras in the world, who heard what the Buddha said, were very happy, believed in it, accepted it, and followed it."
"Explain this passage to me." Li Jiang said again.
No need for Xu Zhu to explain, all the monks in Xiao Lin who have studied the Diamond Sutra understood what Li Jiang meant, and those who felt ashamed even lowered their heads directly.
Xu Zhu is not stupid, he is just pure. He understood the truth immediately, so he shut his mouth and stopped talking, thinking to save some face for Xiao Lin. But Li Jiang's clear eyes were like two sharp swords piercing him, and he was helpless
The next person could only stumble and explain: "Subhuti... if... someone could... fill countless worlds with... the seven treasures..."
"Xu Zhu doesn't need to explain anymore, please step aside. Let me explain to Taoist Priest Li Jiang." Xuan Ci interrupted.
Xu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and Heshi stepped aside.
Xuanci looked around the audience and said in a voice that was unhurried but could be heard by everyone: "I think Taoist Master Li Jiang wants to ask the meaning of this sentence. The World Honored One said that all conditioned laws of birth and death are the same as dreaming.
Just like the dew in the morning, the sun disappears when it comes out, and like thunder and lightning that flash for only a moment. We want to find our pure nature. The thief is me, the monk is me, they are all me, and they are not me. Life is
Impermanence. Amitabha!"
Li Jiang clasped his hands and said, "Master Xuanci has profound Buddhist knowledge, which will enlighten the poor!"
