Volume 1: Red Moon Rising Chapter 44: Tell the Truth
The river was rumbling, and Fayuan was not worried that Lu Shouping and Daoji, who were coming over, would hear the sound. He condensed his voice and said to Zhao Xiangyi: "The reason why I am preparing to return to secular life is because I already have a wife. You are a golden branch and a jade leaf, Fayuan."
It’s too high to reach.”
Zhao Xiangyi was held in Fayuan's arms, feeling as safe as last night. Instead of being sad, she said happily: "It's better if you have a wife! You already have a wife, why are you still willing to stay home?"
"She thought that Dharma fate meant getting married first and then becoming a monk.
It was hard to explain in a short time, Fayuan said in a deep voice: "I love her very much, and I can never leave her. This time I return to secular life, just to prepare to live with her."
"Who said you should leave her? A Longteng man can have three wives and four concubines, don't you already have three wives?" Zhao Xiangyi stared at Fa Yuan nervously. If Fa Yuan already has three wives, she is a relative of the emperor.
The status is respected, and it is impossible to put down the status and become a concubine.
A Longteng man can have one wife and two equal wives. In addition to these three wives, he can also have several concubines. Of course, this is what the rich and powerful people do. Many rich people have more than four concubines, and many have more concubines.
Not to mention a dozen. Men from poor families cannot even afford a wife, let alone a wife and concubines.
Fayuan smiled bitterly and said: "Ruolan is missing now, and I haven't gotten married yet?" He briefly told Yao Ruolan's story, grabbed a long pole hanging down, and hugged Zhao Xiangyi with a strong hand.
to the shore.
Everyone clearly saw Fa Yuan standing in the river with Zhao Xiangyi in his arms, but at this moment they saw that his feet were clean and not wet by the river water. For a moment, everyone was shocked that Fa Yuan was a god. Several monks from the generation of Fa Yuan,
It is to say congratulations to Dharma Yuan: "Junior brother, you are good at your skills!"
Fa Yuan stood on a stone in the middle of the river, and his true energy formed a wall of energy around his feet. Those who knew martial arts knew that Fa Yuan's true energy was strong. Those who did not know martial arts or had poor eyesight thought that Fa Yuan was floating on the river.
Zhao Qiongying hugged Zhao Xiangyi and advised: "Silly boy, why are you so impulsive? Fayuan didn't say I won't marry you. Huh! If he dares not to marry you, I can't do anything to him because of his great martial arts skills. But his masters and elders are here.
Here, I will let his elders comment."
The high-rise boat has anchored, and a group of sailors and boat bosses are following the monk. Zhao Qiongying’s voice is clear, and dozens of people on the shore can hear it clearly. They all look at Dharma Yuan. Some are envious, some are confused, and some are even more delusional.
A guesser.
A sailor muttered: "This young monk is very clever and took advantage of the girl. Now the girl's family is chasing her to demand an explanation."
Another sailor said: "What a sin. Such a beautiful woman threw herself into the river just to marry him. Why should she be a monk? If I had returned to secular life a long time ago, why didn't I encounter such a good thing?"
"If you are half as handsome as that monk and 10% as good at martial arts, Xiaojuan from Hongyan Tower will also throw herself into the river for you."
Fayuan looked at the inquiring eyes of Daoji and the others, took a deep breath and said: "Master, this disciple has not done anything wrong." Then he briefly described what happened at night. He had a deep Qi,
Although the sound was not loud, it reached everyone's ears.
Daoji said happily: "You have done a good job. If you encounter evil demons and heretics, you should do your best to eliminate the evil."
Fayuan has a jade tree in the wind and has great martial arts skills. Zhao Xiangyi was saved by Fayuan in danger, and her love for Fayuan became deeply rooted. It is impossible to say who is right or wrong in this kind of thing, but it is the most difficult to solve.
Fa Ming said the Buddha's name and said to Lu Shouping: "Master Cheng Yin, please understand me. Junior brother has a mellow nature. When he returns to Bailan Temple, he will be promoted to a great Zen master and the abbot of Bailan Temple. If I have offended my junior brother, I hope Master Cheng Yin will forgive me."
These more than ten old monks were all eminent monks of Bailan Temple and respected Buddhist masters. Fa Ming was helping Fa Yuan by politely rejecting Zhao Xiangyi's love.
Facing the eminent Buddhist monks, Lu Shouping didn't know where to start, so he could only turn to Daoji. Daoji was the master of Dharma Yuan and the current abbot of Bailan Temple, so his opinions were decisive.
Zhao Qiongying held Zhao Xiangyi by the hand and said loudly: "You are mistaken, Dharma Yuan will return to secular life soon. He already has a wife, how can he go back to be an abbot and a Zen master? What is his wife's name Lan?"
She lowered her head and asked Zhao Xiangyi, then said: "By the way, my name is Ruolan. My Yi'er doesn't mind that he has a wife, and is willing to be his equal wife. Everyone, tell me, where did you lose him?"
It turned out that after Zhao Qiongying attracted Xiangyi, Zhao Xiangyi told her exactly what Fayuan said. She heard that Fayuan had a wife. Although she was a little disappointed, her niece finally had a home, which made her secretly relieved.
One breath.
She asked Zhao Xiangyi if she could be equal to Fayuan. From last night to today, Zhao Xiangyi only had Fayuan in her heart. How could she not be willing to do so?
.She is the kind of passionate and unrestrained type. As long as she falls in love with the other person, she will be devoted and have no regrets. She is a typical moth spirit.
After she got engaged to Yang Yu, it was not that she had not heard rumors about Yang Yu. But she just believed that Yang Yu didn't care about his shortcomings. Scholars in Fancheng ridiculed Yang Yu as "Liu Xia ruined", which she thought was the sarcastic attitude of the literati.
Being mean and deliberately slandering Yang Yu.
From the moment she fell in love with Dharma Yuan, she believed in Dharma Yuan for the rest of her life and never thought about marrying anyone else.
I have seen men come to ask for marriage, but I have never seen anyone push their own daughter out like this. Everyone was envious of Fa Yuan, and pairs of curious eyes glanced at Fa Yuan. Some even whispered: "Who is Ruolan?"
Fayuan screamed inwardly. He originally wanted to go back to Bailan Temple to find an opportunity to tell his master, and then break the bronze formation and come out. At this time, Zhao Qiongying roared out, and everyone in the world knew. If he continued to hide it, it would be disloyal and unjust.
suspicion.
He blushed and looked at Daoji, only to find that Daoji was not as surprised as the others. His amiable face had a smile, and his eyes showed everlasting care and concern.
Before Fayuan could speak, Daoji said: "From the meeting at Lanzhen Temple to the end of the Buddha fight, you were in a trance and stopped talking many times. I can see that you have something on your mind, so you can tell me now.
?”
Fayuan bowed to Daoji and told Yao Ruolan's story. After he finished speaking, he knew that he had violated the Buddhist precepts and embarrassed the master, so he knelt down in front of Daoji.
Daoji waved out a burst of energy to support him, and shook his head firmly to prevent him from kneeling down. He looked at the undulating river and said: "People living in this world have their own fate. Every fate
Everything can be met but cannot be sought. Since you are here, there must be a reason for you to come. I don't think you have done anything wrong."
"Buddha talks about cause and effect, and pays more attention to fate. Although you are in Buddhism, your earthly fate has not been exhausted. It is no longer suitable to stay in Buddhism now. My teacher agrees that you should return to secular life."
A Taoist monk said anxiously: "Senior brother, no, Fayuan is the candidate to be the abbot of Bailan Temple. He has been promoted to the realm of heaven and human beings, and is the mainstay of Longteng Buddhism. If Fayuan leaves, who will come to fight against the Buddha fifty years later?
Leading Longteng Buddhism?”
Daoji glanced at the monks and said sadly: "This is the reason why I am expelling him from Buddhism now. All responsibilities should be borne by Lao Na."
