Chapter 47 That is, to trace the cause from the effect
Lu Zhiyi: "Senior, is the giant python just now an illusion created by you?"
Zhiyuan layman said: "Now it's the monk who is asking you, if you don't answer, it's just that, why do you ask the monk that the monk is here? Whether the python just now is an illusion, don't you know very well in your heart? Since you understand it in your heart, why don't you dare to believe what you understand!"
Lu Zhi didn't have time to answer, and suddenly there was a flower in front of him, and he saw that where the giant python broke through the ground and drilled back just now, Sha Qifei was lying on the ground and sleeping.
Zhiyuan lay monk said again: "Well, when you see this scene, you are relieved! Now you know that this special person is fine, and you can always answer this layman's question!"
Lu Zhiyi was indeed relieved, and said: "Senior, junior doesn't know what you want to ask, if it's just the name of the junior, then the junior has already told you." If you want to ask a different question, you should ask another question!"
Zhiyuan Jushi said: "Hey, you know my name is Zhiyuan Jushi, and Ben Jushi is also very satisfied with his name." You can call me Zhiyuan, you can also call me a layman, or you can call me a Zhiyuan layman together, why do you have to follow the example of this special person and choose my name indiscriminately?"
Lu Zhi said wholeheartedly, it was always inappropriate to directly call him to know the fate, so he shouted: "Layman!"
Only then did the monk nod with satisfaction and said, "Isn't it good to see this! I have my name, and you call my name, so that the monk knows that you are calling me." Now it's your turn, what's your name to tell me?"
After going around, the Zhiyuan monk circled the words back. Lu Zhiyi looked at the smiling and groaning Zhiyuan layman, and was completely confused, so he had to bite the bullet and continue to answer: "Layman, the junior is named Lu Zhiyi. ”
"Isn't that right?" the monk sighed for a long time and said, "Who said that you can't ask the name twice, and who said that I must not repeat the three questions I ask? The person who asks the question is the layman, and you can answer whatever the layman asks, isn't it a very simple matter! Why do you have to find out what the monk asked? Actually, the layman just shows great respect for you. So I asked your name twice in a row. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake!"
Lu Zhi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, this layman did something really unexpected, but he wronged Sha Qifei and was swallowed by the python once, and he didn't bother to care about this. Then he said: "The seniors are right. So what's your third question?"
The monk stopped turning the beads in his hand. He put it on his wrist and said, "Oh, the third question." The third question is a bit of a problem, and it has been asked by many people. Lu Zhiyi, you should be the cultivation of the realm of knowing, and once you enter the realm of knowing, you will not deceive yourself, you will not be deceived by others, and you should not deceive others in front of people like this layman, right?
Lu Zhiyi noticed that the black and white Buddha beads of the Zhiyuan monk had changed into a thin bracelet and wrapped around the wrist of the Zhiyuan monk a few times, and he could see that this Buddha bead was also a powerful magic weapon. He said in his heart, this layman is verbose, what did I lie to you, so he nodded and said: "Layman, please ask, I will answer truthfully, and I will never deceive each other!"
Zhiyuan lay monk said with satisfaction, "This third question, this lay monk wants to ask you, who am I?"
Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, remembering the lesson just now, so he replied directly: "You are the Dharma seat of the Buddha Gate Karma Mountain Fudo Temple, and the master of Zhiyuan Layman!"
When the monk heard this, he shook his head and began to sigh. Lu Zhiyi asked, "What's the matter?" layman, did the junior answer get wrong?"
"Wrong, wrong, wrong!" The monk shook his head and waved his hand, and said three mistakes in a row, one heavier than the other, and then said, "Big mistake, young man! This monk told you not to deceive me, why didn't you listen, and dared to lie in front of me!"
Lu Zhi was puzzled when he heard this, and spread his hands and said: "Layman, the juniors are all answering according to the truth, where are you lying? Unless you are not a master of knowing the fate of the layman!"
But the Zhiyuan layman shook his head even harder, and sighed: "Incorrigible, incorrigible, really incorrigible! Not only are you lying, but you have also begun to quibble! Let me ask you, do you know me? How do you know that I am a Zhiyuan layman? You don't know who I am, but you answer my question, what is it that is not lying!"
Lu Zhi was stunned and said, "You are the senior of the Zhiyuan Layman, isn't this what you said just now?"
Zhiyuan Jushi also made a stunned expression, bent down one by one to Lu Zhi, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to his nose and said, "Did I sue you? When did I sue you, my name is Zhiyuan Jushi? It's really strange, is this what I said to you? Why don't I know!"
Lu Zhiyi was puzzled and said: "Didn't you tell Sha Qifei just now, are you the Dharma Seat Zhiyuan Monk of the Buddha Gate Karma Mountain Fudo Temple? Could it be that the juniors heard it wrong? Or did you not tell the truth?"
Zhiyuan Jushi straightened up suddenly, his mouth kept 'tsk', looked at Lu Zhiyi with a look of disdain, and said: "Lu Zhiyi, Lu Zhiyi, I didn't expect you to not only lie and quibble, but also steal!"
Faced with such a gratuitous accusation, Lu Zhiyi was even more inexplicable and asked, "Senior, when did the junior steal something, and what did you steal?"
"Don't you even admit it?" Zhiyuan Layman sneered and said, "You said it yourself, this sentence was said by this layman to this special person on the earth, not to you, why did you eavesdrop? ”
As he spoke, the Zhiyuan monk stretched out his two palms and began to break his fingers, while chanting in his mouth: "'I am the Dharma Seat Zhiyuan Monk of the Buddha Gate Cause Yuan Mountain Fudo Temple', well, a total of seventeen words!"
He first counted from his left hand, then to his right hand, and when he counted the word 'temple', it was exactly ten words, and the fingers of both hands had already been counted, but he shook his right hand, and suddenly a right hand grew on the wrist of his right hand, side by side with the original right hand. In this way, the Zhiyuan layman continued to count down until he reached the word 'Yuan', and the extra right hand was used up again, but he returned to his left hand, and two fingers grew on his left hand, so that it added up to exactly seventeen words.
Seeing this scene, Lu Zhi couldn't help but be stunned, under his induction, the extra right hand and the extra fingers on the left hand were not hallucinations, but real hands. But for a moment. He immediately had a look of sudden realization on his face. Just after watching the Zhiyuan layman demonstrate this magic spell, his heart naturally understood that this was the illusory body of Buddhism, and he regarded the body as an illusion. Feel free to shape. But why do you have these realizations in your heart? But he didn't know. Nor did they pursue further.
After the Zhiyuan monk counted the number of words, he stretched out his hands in front of Lu Zhiyi, of course, to be precise, three hands plus two more fingers. The Zhiyuan monk shook his two arms. The seventeen fingers of the three hands shook together, and said: "How about it? The facts are all here, do you admit that you stole the seventeen words of this layman, presumably you eavesdropped more just now, but when you caught the thief and took the stolen goods, the layman only heard that you used these seventeen words, and the rest had to be cheapened and you didn't pursue it." But these seventeen words can't let you go!"
With such a large number of fingers shaking in front of his eyes, in a strange shape, Lu Zhiyi didn't know if this senior was joking with him, or if he was deliberately making things difficult, let alone what this senior wanted.
So Lu Zhiyi said well: "Since the seniors said so, then Lu Zhiyi only admitted it, and the juniors did steal the seventeen words of the seniors and confessed." I don't know if the seniors plan to make the juniors how to compensate, or what kind of punishment they will accept?" He saw the absurdity of what the Zhiyuan layman said, so he simply followed him, and simply threw back the question he threw over, since you said that I stole your seventeen words, it is useless to deny yourself, see what he wants to do with himself, so that he can know what his purpose is.
Seeing that Lu Zhiyi had honestly admitted it, Zhiyuan Jushi nodded with satisfaction, withdrew his hands, and his hands immediately changed back to their normal appearance, and then he listened to him: "This is about the same, Lu Zhiyi, you confessed so quickly that you stole my words, are you sincere? Don't admit it with your mouth, but you are scolding me in your heart!"
Lu Zhiyi: "It is impossible for the younger generation to do such a thing, since you admit it, you admit it." ”
Zhiyuan layman said: "I hope so, but the words have to be made clear, don't think that this layman is deliberately bullying you." This Sha Qifei had dealt with this layman in the past, so this layman told him that I was a Dharma seat Zhiyuan layman of the Fudo Temple of the Cause Mountain, and there was no problem. But you haven't seen this layman before, and you don't want to tell me who you and I are, so how can you eavesdrop on it? That's a big mistake, don't you say?"
Where is Lu Zhiyi still room to say no, of course, he can only say yes repeatedly, and then asked: "Then how do you plan to punish the juniors?"
Zhiyuan Jushi grinned and said: "You can rest assured about this, this layman is your senior, how can I deliberately embarrass you, otherwise if it spreads, wouldn't it be said that I am bullying the small." This layman is the fairest, in this way, if you steal my seventeen words, this layman doesn't want you to do anything else, just pay me back seventeen words, it's fair!"
Lu Zhiyi: "How to return the law in this case, I have to consult my seniors!"
Zhiyuan lay his face and said, "Look at you, you're quite ordinary, I didn't expect to encounter something, and you are also quite special." Do you still use the teachings of the layman? Those seventeen words tell the origin and identity of the layman, so don't you also use the seventeen words to understand the origin of your identity? Forget it, or do the laymen ask it word by word, and the first mention in those seventeen words is that the layman was born in the Karma Mountain, and you came out of that mountain?"
Lu Zhiyi replied: "This is simple, I was born in the Fire Eye Ice Pool!"
"Fire Eye Ice Pool?" Zhiyuan Jushi counted and said, "Four words, it's cheap for you." Next is Fudo Temple, this is the sect from which this layman was born, what sect are you from?"
Lu Zhiyi shook his head and did not answer. Zhiyuan Lay Shi frowned and said: "Why aren't you a cultivator, you don't have a sect? It's okay if you don't have a sect, then you are from a certain family, just tell me which family you are a child of?"
Lu Zhiyi still shook his head. Zhiyuan layman said: "It's not a child of a family, that's a loose cultivator, so let's say your father's name, whether you are from the human world or a descendant of a cultivator!" (To be continued......)
