Chapter 41: Overnight Success
The language art form of storytelling appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and it began to gradually rise in the Song Dynasty.
The storytelling of the Song Dynasty was still only a prototype, and the form of artistic expression was relatively simple, but later generations brought together the wisdom of the people, combined with the brainchild of the storytellers of the past dynasties, and gradually matured under the continuous development of mass creation.
Luo Feng said "The Biography of Jigong", which is a classic vine that has been tested by thousands of years of audiences, and dozens of generations of people are the most popular excerpts.
Huo Sijiu, a native of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty, is famous for "saying three points", "not to wind and rain, cold and summer, all the sheds look at people, every day is like this", there are countless listeners to talk about "Three Kingdoms", "Jigong Biography" is closer to the life of the masses, Jigong is called a living Buddha, but he acts like a chivalrous man, cares about the people, punishes corrupt officials, subdues demons and destroys demons, laughs and scolds the Buddha in it, thought-provoking and fascinating.
In the eyes of the people of the Song Dynasty, this story is a contemporary cool text on the theme of Buddhism, the more you listen to it, the more refreshing it is, the more you want to hear it.
When it was in the treetops of the moon, it was getting late, Luo Feng rang the bell and said: "I want to know what happened next, and listen to the next decomposition!" Then Shi Shiran turned around and left.
The people in the audience sighed together, only felt that they were still unfinished, and they were reluctant to leave for a long time, even if Zen Master Luo got off the podium and turned back to the apse to rest, the people gathered in the Maha Temple were still crowded, hoping that the Zen master could return to the scene and say another paragraph.
The people like to hear it, but the monks are entangled, Luo Zen Master is telling the story of a hundred years later, using modern classification to distinguish, maybe it is science fiction or alternate history, there is a desire to quote the classics and say that he is nonsense, but there is no basis for it.
The living Buddha of Jigong in that story acted crazy and secretly conformed to Buddhism, but it was too deviant, it seemed to be promoting Buddhism, but it seemed to be satirizing the current monks who practiced Buddha and did not really understand, like the clay puppet occupying the pit and not.
As soon as Luo Feng returned to the apse, the presiding officer of the temple, the Great Compassion Zen Master, led a group of monks to greet him with anger on his face, and reprimanded: "Lustful Zen Master, you don't say anything about this law-breaking name, you dare to talk nonsense at the Jialan Festival, do you know that slandering the Buddha will go to hell with your tongue!" ”
Zen Master Luo smiled all over his face, and was not annoyed, and said sarcastically: "All living beings like to hear it, you don't like it, how old are you?" Thousands of years later, the names of you and me have been forgotten, but the living Buddha of Jigong will always live in the hearts of all sentient beings. ”
"This kind of kitsch market gossip, even if all living beings are obsessed, is also a demagogic demonic theory!"
The Great Compassion Zen Master said hatefully: "Lao Gu originally thought that the Maha Temple was the leader of the righteous path, and the senior monks in the temple must have high opinions, but the Dharma that he never wanted to preach was so unavailable that he couldn't get on the stage, and he couldn't climb the magnificent golden hall and the elegant hall!" Make that karma demagoguery! ”
Luo Feng sneered: "I have developed bodhicitta in my generation, is it sentient beings or powerful people?" There is no trace of sentient beings in the Hall of Elegance! Sentient beings don't understand your elegant teachings! ”
Zen Master Dabei's face sank, and he was still waiting to debate with Zen Master Luo, but Luo Feng laughed, walked away, and chanted as he walked: "The Buddha left a poem, and I cultivated my body and he cultivated his mouth; Others do not cultivate their minds, but only I cultivate their minds but do not cultivate their mouths. ”
Only a group of moral monks were left looking at each other.
Zen Master Luo walked away, and the monks who wanted to stop him were shocked by the true qi of his opening of the Alaya consciousness deterrence and body protection, and they couldn't catch the corners of their clothes if they wanted to tear them, so the monks had no choice but to run to Chiba Zen Master to comment, so that Chiba Zen Master could stop Luo from continuing to talk about the evil devil's crooked commentary.
Zen Master Chiba sat on the futon, looked at the mouth and mouth, and waited for the monks who surrounded him to finish their complaints, and asked, "Did the sentient beings listen to the Dharma?" ”
The monks said, "Listen." ”
"In that story, have the sentient beings listened to the principle of persuading people to be good and retribution for good and evil?"
"Listened."
"Are the beings smiling?"
"Laughed ......"
After some questions and answers, some of the monks were a little less resolute in their accountability.
Seeing that he was about to be perfunctory by Zen Master Chiba, Zen Master Great Compassion said: "Senior Brother Chiba, he follows the preferences of all beings, of course all living beings love to listen, and of course sentient beings will laugh if they are frivolous!" ”
Zen Master Chiba asked again: "In the morning, the lustful Zen master is talking about the Dharma and the true scriptures?" ”
"This ...... Yes, but ......"
The monks do not lie, and the Great Compassion Zen Master has to admit that Luo Feng's level of preaching in the morning is indeed extraordinary.
Zen Master Chiba asked again: "How can you preach the true scriptures in the morning and slander the Buddha in the afternoon?" ”
The Great Compassion Zen Master was asked, and he didn't understand how Luo Feng was so good that he suddenly became unserious, and he was still admiring in the morning.
"The practice of the lustful Zen master is not up to the age, and the morning lecture must be carefully understood by the old man."
Zen Master Chiba looked compassionate and sighed: "What he said in the afternoon is absurd in your ears, but it is quite enlightening in the ears of all beings, is there a problem with what he said, or is there a problem with what you listened?" If he wants to talk about the scriptures you like to hear, you can naturally do it as you did in the morning, but if you and I want him to do it, are we still worthy of being called practitioners? ”
The old man of the Great Compassion Zen Master who said this blushed, hurriedly closed his salute, and left in shame.
Luo Feng had already calculated it, and he plagiarized the teachings of later generations of monks in the morning, just to block the mouths of these monks, so as not to comment on the book as soon as he came up, and people would think that he was talking nonsense if he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it.
In the morning, he showed a very high level of professionalism and theory, so that these monks who listened to the scriptures admired, and in the afternoon they said the three vulgar jokes that the masses liked to see, and in the morning as a comparison, those who doubted his nonsense should first have a weak heart, reflecting on whether the realm of other lascivious Zen masters is too high, and they are not able to listen to it because of their lack of practice.
After this episode, the monks who gathered in the Maha Temple looked at the eyes of the lascivious Zen masters who smiled and did not speak, and did not argue, as if they had realized something, and they didn't know what they had realized, in short, they felt that Luo Feng's level was really high, and the more I thought about it, the more profound it became, it was the extraordinary people who did extraordinary things, and ridiculed them for not being willing to carefully comprehend the red world, just to find the false emptiness in the scriptures.
Zen Master Luo will not return to tell jokes, and the people gathered in the Maha Temple can only disperse, but this Jialan Puja will be held for three days, and today is the first day.
After the people returned to the city, Luo Zen Master's reputation began to ferment among the crowd, and many people in the teahouse tavern were talking, talking about what they had seen and heard at the Jialan Festival, and they had a good memory, and they also retold the funny jokes in Luo Feng's "The Biography of Jigong", which made others laugh.
"Zhao Yuanwai opened a porridge shed porridge, Jigong came to go inside, the family stopped and said that the porridge was over there, Jigong said: 'I don't drink porridge, I order food!' ”
"Said that Jigong went to arrest the white bone corpse demon who became a beautiful woman and ate people's hearts. After seeing the monster, Jigong said, 'I like you, I want to hug you!' ’。 The monster was stunned for a long time and said, 'Go back, it's dangerous here.' ’”
Every time a joke is told, people laugh.
……
The idler questioned: "You say that the lustful Zen master is profound, but what kind of stuff he is talking about, funny is funny, but it is very improper, I don't think he is a serious monk!" ”
Immediately, a lay monk who had listened to the morning lecture refuted: "The true scriptures that the lustful Zen master preached in the morning are profound and mysterious, and the living monks and living Buddhas in the world are just like that, and in the afternoon they took care of the believers, deliberately integrated the Dharma into the story, and told the story vividly, making people imperceptibly enlightened in laughter." If you don't believe me, go and hear it tomorrow morning, and don't slander here! ”
……
As the saying goes, the gold and silver cups are not as good as the reputation of the common people, Luo Feng's monk debut became popular all of a sudden, and he can be called an "Internet celebrity monk" in modern times, but there was no Internet in the Song Dynasty, only word of mouth, so he can only be regarded as a "lipstick monk".
Whether it is an Internet celebrity or lipstick, in short, the lustful Zen master became an instant hit, and his reputation spread all over Kaifeng Mansion overnight.
