Chapter 13 Success

Time flies, the years are merciless, and in the blink of an eye, fifty years have passed.

In the scorching summer, the scorching sun is in the sky, the cicadas are chirping, everyone is wiping their sweat, and the air is full of "hot" breath.

The pedestrians on the road and the vendors on the side of the road are also listless, walking weakly, and selling prices, which has a tacit understanding of "saving time and effort".

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves broke this tacit understanding. The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and people saw clearly that it was an official who seemed to have something important, and while beating the horse hard, he shouted "Drive, drive, don't get in the way, get out of the way!"

As the saying goes, "the people don't fight with the officials", and although the pedestrians were reluctant, they retreated to both sides of the road one after another, making way for the messengers. He rode to a beautifully decorated and large-scale temple, lightly dismounted, tidied up his appearance, knocked on the door respectfully, and shouted: "Lord Zheng Xingzheng, the prefect of Suzhou, sent someone to ask to see!" After a while, the temple door opened, and a young monk politely welcomed the messenger in.

The pedestrians on the side of the road were not surprised to see this, but they just discussed: "Daming Temple has really become more and more prosperous over the years, and even these big people dare not be disrespectful to it when they come to visit." ”

"What is this, didn't the emperor and the queen mother also come to incense a few years ago?"

"That's all the credit of Master Jianzhen, and even the emperor respects it. ”

"Thanks to Master Jianzhen's strong mana, boundless Buddhism, and even more forgiveness and compassion, he has protected the people, otherwise for so many years, monsters have harmed people, droughts and floods, and I don't know how many people will die. ”

"Yes, since Master Jianzhen was successful in learning art forty years ago, he has been famous for the success of the ghost of Zhao Zhuang and Zhao Yuanwai who has survived for many years, and has solved the harm of the ghost house of Zhao Zhuang that has disturbed the people for many years, and it has been almost forty years now. ”

"That's right, don't say it for the first time, in the future, Li Village exorcised ghosts, Nanshan subdued the demon tiger, the Yangtze River descended evil Jiao, treated the prime minister's stubborn illness for many years, went to prison to persuade the murder suspect to confess his guilt, twice led the monks in the temple to build embankments, flood control and disaster relief, and also released money and food every month to relieve those poor people, widows and loneliness, and now the people of the Quartet are all at home to worship the Buddha incense, pray for the blessing of the Buddha, so that Master Jianzhen has a good reward, and ・・・・・・"

The more the man spoke, the more energetic he became, and seeing that no one interrupted him, he continued: "Daming Temple has produced such a high monk as Master Jianzhen, and since then his prestige has risen, and his reputation has spread all over the country, and people who admire and worship have also flocked to him, not only ordinary people, but also dignitaries, and even relatives of the emperor and the country often come to visit, hoping to get the guidance of Master Jianzhen and listen to the teachings.

The master is also really a monk, the people he sees, regardless of the high and low rank, the status of the noble and low, as long as the Buddha has a fate or sincerity, you can enter the temple to talk in detail, and the words must be true, do not ask for returns. Even the emperor and the queen mother were shocked, the year before last came to the Daming Temple to incense, and the master of Jianzhen talked for a whole day, after hearing that the spirit was full of energy, the mood was happy, and the day gave the Dayun Temple a plaque of "Buddhism Pure Land", and then invited the master of Jianzhen to be the national teacher, I heard that the master was at that time with 'no distracting thoughts, the homeland is difficult to leave, the cycle of cause and effect, fate is determined' these words of Zen resignation!

"Yes, this time, Master Jianzhen is really famous in the world! In the past, there were always some monks and Taoists who were not self-sufficient to challenge, but now they are gone. ”

"I think that as long as Daming Temple has Master Jianzhen as the abbot, it will continue to prosper. ”

As these people were talking, they saw that the official messenger was politely sent out by the monk who knew the guest, and said apologetically: "Please forgive me, the abbot has been in retreat for a year, not when he can get out of the customs, and after the abbot is out of the customs, the temple can invite his old man to go out to do things." ”

The official hurriedly waved his hand, and replied flatteredly: "How dare I disturb the master's cultivation because of such a trivial matter as my family's lord?" Your temple is really too polite, and when I go back to the Ming Mansion, it will not be too late to ask him to wait for the master to come and invite him after the master is out of the customs." Then I'll go back, and the little master doesn't have to send it. ”

Say, turn around and get on the horse, gallop away, and the monk also sighed, put his hands together, and chanted a sentence of "Amitabha!" and turned back to the temple, leaving only the people outside the temple still talking.

In the past 50 years, Jianzhen has practiced Buddhism diligently, with the "Void Sutra" and "Great Light Sutra", two top Buddhist practice methods, plus Yun Canghai personally built a foundation for him, and from time to time he found some heavenly and earthly treasures for him.

After ten years of practice, Jianzhen listened to Yun Canghai's advice, went out to accumulate external strength, and deepened his experience, at that time, the elders in the temple still had doubts about his strength, but when Jianzhen used a set of martial arts of "robes to subdue demons" and cast a hand of "Buddha's light" after the method, they were all speechless, because in the temple except for a few senior monks and ancestors who were in retreat, there was no one who could cross the truth. Therefore, although he was extremely surprised by his cultivation progress, it could only be attributed to the problem of talent, but no one dared to get to the bottom of it.

After Jianzhen obtained the right to leave the temple freely, he began his own process of subduing demons and subduing demons and purifying sentient beings.

He does what he can, never arrogant, starting from a simple exorcism and ghost hunting, with the improvement of cultivation, he can do more and more, after subduing the demon tiger and the dragon, Jianzhen has proven his strength, he will no longer challenge the more powerful monsters, and begin to focus on accumulating merits and saving the people, whether it is for Buddhism or Taoism, or even for all cultivators, merit is very important, the higher the merit, the more and faster their own blessings, cultivation, and realm improvement, and the lighter the calamity suffered in practice.

As Jianzhen's cultivation became higher and higher, his reputation became more and more widespread, and more and more people came to visit him, Jianzhen asked Yun Canghai for advice, and Yun Canghai said to him: "These trivial matters in life can be decided by yourself, don't rely on me for everything, you must have your own opinions, otherwise, you will never be able to be independent, you must have confidence in yourself." Jianzhen suddenly woke up, secretly exclaimed ashamed, and said that he would definitely correct this habit in the future.

So, Jianzhen no longer asked Yun Canghai for advice on some ordinary things, but took his own idea, Yun Canghai saw it in his eyes, and he was secretly relieved in his heart that his little brother had finally grown up.

Jianzhen is not only very polite to visitors, but also responds to requests, everything will be successful, and his reputation will naturally spread farther. The elders in the temple saw it in their eyes, and also had a thick old face, and asked Jianzhen to train the monks in the temple on his behalf and teach the apprentices, Jianzhen readily agreed, and after obtaining the consent of Yun Canghai, some of the middle and low-level cultivation exercises obtained from it were popularized in the temple (of course, they are all big road goods in the cultivation world, and after modification, no one can suspect that they learned it from other sects), and selected a few talented and good little monks as apprentices, and taught what they had learned, without hiding their selfishness, and the monks in the temple saw that Jianzhen was so open-minded, Sincerity, all impressed by his virtue, from then on let it drive, without complaint. Even after several generations of masters and ancestors came out of the customs, they also greatly appreciated Jianzhen's cultivation and virtue and fully supported it.

The surrendered Jiaolong was originally very proud, but was first captured by Jianzhen, and then was frightened by Yun Canghai with his own dragon power, and obediently recognized the master as Jianzhen's protector beast, Jianzhen and Yuncang Hainian also had dragon blood in it, and did not treat it badly, and passed it a set of "Great Mighty Dragon Protector Divine Skills" and a dragon cultivation exercise; The combined attack technique can be doubled after a dragon and a tiger are jointly performed.

After subduing the two beasts, Jianzhen went out to subdue demons and subdued demons, and the people saw Jianzhen riding a dragon flying across the sky, and they all knelt down and bowed from afar, and were even more in awe of Jianzhen.

And people from all over the world, wandering monks, have defected to Daming Temple, hoping to become one of them and listen to the teachings of Master Jianzhen. Dayun Temple also opened the temple door widely, accommodating heroes from all directions, but after careful selection, only a small number of people with good qualifications, peaceful character, or a skill, and deep fortune were accepted as disciples.

Even after the selection, every year to Daming Temple to apprentice people are still in an endless stream, Daming Temple also from these years of selection, teaching from the great benefits, it can be said that "pilgrims are like clouds, monks into the rain", the trend of prosperity is already unstoppable.

There are many people, there will naturally be some good and bad, but the wisdom of the Buddhist family is not a decoration, facing these ordinary people, you can see their nature at a glance, so they have also driven out a lot of black sheep, making the monks in the temple more awe of him.

Finally, when Jianzhen was forty-five years old, the former abbot announced his resignation, and with the support of the monks of the whole temple, Jianzhen served as the fifteenth abbot of Dayun Temple. After Jianzhen succeeded as the abbot, he worked hard, and at the same time did not relax his own cultivation, and the Dayun Temple of Nuoda became more prosperous, and even the temple was expanded and renovated several times.

In this way, there are the praise of the people outside, the guidance of the clouds and the sea, and the support of all the monks of Daming Temple, Jianzhen and Daming Temple have become more and more prestigious in the past 50 years, and it can be said that they are famous all over the world, and they have become the gate of the world.
