Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Five: If You Can Become a Buddha
The training ground of Qingshan Temple.
The surrounding monks all widened their eyes. Today, these people have completely made money. After all, there are not many opportunities to see the third elder take action in person. However, this is not enough to surprise everyone. After all, the third elder is Xi Jinping.
It is actually normal for a martial artist to compete with others, but this Xuanxie
After his appearance, the atmosphere in the martial arts field was completely heightened to a climax. Everyone already knew who Xuanxie was. There were no less than ten people talking about Xuanxie in Qingshan Temple, and they said everything, but in the end they still got rid of it.
There is no other way of saying it, that is, all the monks in Qingshan Temple are afraid of this mysterious evil in their hearts.
The third elder had already suffered a lot from Xuan Xie, so he behaved like this when facing Xuan Xie.
What is the original status of the Third Elder in Qingshan Temple? Regardless of whether he is the abbot or Xuan Zheng, whenever he sees the Third Elder, he must call him "Third Elder" respectfully. This is the embodiment of the Third Elder's status in Qingshan Temple. After all, he is the same as Duan Chen.
If Duan Chen, a master of the same generation, is gone, the Qingshan Temple will also be gone, because before Duan Chen became the abbot, Qingshan Temple would be gone.
The mountain temple is nothing more than a small temple, worrying about the incense money every day. It was not until the appearance of Duan Chen and the reputation of the best monk in the world that the Qingshan Temple became as majestic as it is today. But Qingshan Temple can go on
To this day, several elders have made indelible contributions. Take the second elder as an example. Nine out of ten scriptures in Qingshan Temple
They were all translated by the second elder. Without the second elder, the Sutra Collection Pavilion of Qingshan Temple would not be as inclusive as it is today. And the third elder has been focusing his energy on martial arts research for so many years.
It can be said that the boxing techniques, stick techniques, internal skills and mental techniques used by Qingshan Temple disciples were all developed by the three elders alone. As for
The fourth elder is the biggest steward of the entire Qingshan Temple. When the other two elders are in retreat, only the fourth elder helps and supports the management of Qingshan Temple. You must know that the three thousand troubles of each monk are controlled by the fourth elder.
He shaved it off himself, so although Xuanzheng's reputation is great, it is still not as good as these three elders in Qingshan Temple.
The disciples of Qingshan Temple were all respectful when they saw these elders, but as soon as Xuanxie spoke, he called the third elder "Lao San". Logically speaking, Xuanxie should call the third elder "Master Uncle", but unfortunately Xuanxie never called him "Master" since he was a child.
The third elder gradually got used to calling him "Master Uncle". As long as Xuanxie didn't cause trouble, it didn't matter what he called him.
But does Xuan Xie seem to be staying out of trouble at this time?
From the moment Xuanxie opened his mouth to speak, the third elder knew that today's Xuanxie was clearly out for the young monk Wujie.
The surrounding monks were also talking a lot at this time. Although Xuanxie was somewhat different from everyone's imagination, his style of doing things was in line with the rumors of Qingshan Temple. It was estimated that Xuanxie was the only one in Qingshan Temple who could talk to the third elder like this.
Of course, the young monk Wu Jie just spoke righteously, but there was no disrespect in it. This Xuan Xie was so good, he completely treated the third elder as his junior.
The shouts of the third elder made the people around him tremble with fear. What they were afraid of was what if the third elder was really angry and turned his anger on himself.
But Xuanxie didn't seem to realize this problem at this time, and he still looked playful and smiling.
"Third brother, you said that you beat up my nephew. It is probably very difficult for me, Xuanxie, to have an apprentice in this life. After all, no one will follow a master like me. If I really accept an apprentice, I will probably have to
He is a disciple who eats meat and drinks wine, but there are few monks in Qingshan Temple who eat meat and drink wine, so I regard this young monk as my own disciple!" Xuanxie looked at the third elder with a faint smile on his face and an indifferent look on his face.
said.
After hearing this, the third elder sighed helplessly and whispered: "It seems that you are the only monk in Qingshan Temple who eats meat and drinks wine..."
"That's right!" Xuanxie stretched out his hand and scratched his big head, then bared his teeth and said with a smile: "You don't know if this is what Buddha said, why monks can't eat meat and drink wine, I just
I can’t figure this out.”
"It has long been said in Buddhist scriptures that eating meat and drinking alcohol is a violation of the precepts." The third elder spoke to Xuan Xie in a polite manner, just like a junior talking to an elder.
"Then what do you think it will do if it's cracked?" Xuanxie raised his eyebrows and asked the third elder.
"If you break the precepts, you will never be able to escape into Buddhism in this life!" the third elder replied helplessly.
"Then I don't have Buddhist roots in the first place, so there is probably no chance of me escaping into Buddhism in this life!" Xuanxie laughed loudly.
"You originally had a chance, but you broke the Seventh Precept, Bajie, and now it may be gone..."
"Haha!" Xuanxie laughed and reached out to touch his big head without continuing to speak.
After hearing the conversation between the two people, the young monk on the side reached out and touched his head and said in confusion: "Uncle Xuanxie, the third elder just said that eating meat and drinking alcohol is a violation of the precepts, but I just ate it."
If the meat is also drunk, then I can’t escape into Buddhism?"
"What's the benefit of escaping into Buddhism?" Xuanxie shouted at the top of his lungs.
"But if I can't escape into Buddhism, why should I be a monk?" The young monk said in a very anxious tone.
"Who says you have to be a monk? You don't deserve to be a monk!"
"That won't work. If I don't become a monk, what will my master do? My master is still waiting for me to help him understand the Great Enlightenment of the Heavenly Guide!" The young monk became more and more anxious as he spoke.
Xuanxie turned to look at Wujie and sighed helplessly. He couldn't help but think of when he was a child. At that time, Xuanxie seemed to be thinking about when he would become a Buddha every day, because Xuanxie felt that as long as he became a Buddha, there would be no need to guard him.
By adhering to the precepts and rules, as long as he becomes a Buddha, the young monk will be able to
Protecting Xuanzheng all his life, but later when Xuanxie found out that he had no Buddha roots at all, he was heartbroken. After all, Buddha roots are innate and cannot be made up for. Without these Buddha roots, there would be no chance of becoming a Buddha.
, if Xuanxie cannot become a Buddha, what is the use of keeping the precepts and rules.
It was from that time on that Xuanxie began to learn to eat meat and drink alcohol, and Xuanxie felt that since he could not become a Buddha, then other people should not become Buddhas and just stay with him as mortals. That is to say, from that
At that time, Qingshan Temple had the big devil Xuanxie.
If a person cannot become a Buddha, he naturally does not need to follow the rules.
Xuanxie's realm is higher than everyone else, so except for Xuanzheng, no matter what the rest of the people say, Xuanxie will not listen. However, Xuanzheng is a reticent person, which means that the entire Qingshan Temple
No one can control this evil.
Why have none of the monks at Qingshan Temple seen Xuanxie himself?
The reason is very simple. Anyone who has seen Xuanxie has already broken the Eight Precepts by Xuanxie. When Xuanxie secretly took the incense money from Qingshan Temple and took the monk to the brothel, that night...
Do you know how many people can't help but let go of the word lust and caution in the end?
If there had been no Xuanxie in Qingshan Temple back then, it is estimated that there would have been over 10,000 disciples of Qingshan Temple at this time.
But at this time, there were only three thousand left. These three thousand disciples only existed after Xuanxie left Qingshan Temple. If they had come earlier, they would all have returned to secular life by now.
"That's right, your master is still waiting for you to help him meditate on that broken scripture book..." After Xuanxie reacted, he stretched out his hand to scratch his head and frowned at the little monk Wujie in front of him.
"Yes, it's over, it's over, if I can't become a Buddha, my master will definitely be angry and will beat me again!" the little monk shouted with a panic face.
Xuanxie looked at the young monk and was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "It's okay, it's okay, your Dharma name is Wujie, you don't have to keep the rules and regulations!"
"Really?" The little monk was stunned for a moment and asked Xuanxie in surprise.
"Can I lie to you? Don't worry, you can become a Buddha even if you break the precepts..." Xuanxie laughed and explained.
"As long as you can become a Buddha, that's all." The nervousness in the young monk's heart relaxed a lot, he put his hands together and recited softly: "Amitabha!"
