Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Tree Smells Many Flowers Bloom
Out of nowhere, there was the sound of running water, followed by several shouts. Just after the angry monk finished speaking, Monk Tingquan's body flickered, and he was about to disappear in place, but the angry monk over there responded quickly, his expression narrowed, and he took half a step behind the King Kong God. The figure of Monk Tingquan reappeared in place, his face was full of anger, his eyes were condensed, and he shook a few times in a row, turning into several overlapping figures! The resentful monk over there snorted, and a monk's robe swayed for no reason, and as soon as his left foot was raised, he was about to take a big step and walk out from behind the King Kong God.
"Listen to Senior Brother Quan!" "Don't be reckless!" "Stop!"
Seeing that Monk Tingquan and Monk Anger were about to make a move, several people hurriedly stopped it. Drink out of the 'listen to the spring brother' is the Zhiyuan layman, the advice 'not reckless' is a burly figure, standing like a mountain old monk who has never spoken before, only to see his silver hair and chest, the treasure is solemn, although the body of the old man appears, but there is no disease of the old man, it is the monk of the Buddha Gate Perfection Peak Prajna Temple. His phrase 'don't be reckless' was directed at the Tingquan monk. As for the last sentence 'Stop', it comes from the dream monk who seems to be asleep, but his sentence has no object, making people feel that he is not even saying it to Monk Tingquan and Monk Hat, but talking to himself.
Zhiyuan monk and Fa Ren monk did not just move their mouths, at the same time as drinking, the two of them had moved, the difference was that the Fa Ren monk stepped in, but stood in the middle of the Tingquan monk and the hated monk, impartial, almost to the distance between the two is exactly the same. And the Zhiyuan monk flashed in front of the monk Tingquan, and at his station, the several figures around the monk Tingquan returned to him, and his body and mind were resettled.
Monk Tingquan said: "Senior Brother Zhiyuan, you get out of the way, Tingquan wants to ask Senior Brother Anger for clarification." What the hell happened to my senior brother Baku. How could you suddenly sit on top of this Buddha Mountain?"
Zhiyuan Jushi said with a smile: "What is the junior brother so nervous about, the question is with his mouth, and what is he doing with the magic power for no reason! What a cultivator the eight bitter disciples are, they have their own responsibilities and opinions. You are so reckless, it's not what people in Buddhism should do!"
As soon as Monk Tingquan heard this, he immediately calmed down, and the meaning of the words of the monk was very clear, the cultivation of the monks of the Eight Sufferings was not low, and Foshan was the place where the elders of the Buddhist sect practiced, and no one dared to do anything conspiracy here. Moreover, with the realm of the Eight Bitter Monks, the magic power is strong. The mind is so clear that it is impossible for anyone to persecute him. Even if he surpasses him in the cultivation realm and supernatural powers, the Eight Bitter Monks will never give in. If he is really seated, then he must be in charge of himself. Therefore, the key point is to find out what is the reason for the sitting of the monks of the eight sufferings. Practicing monks will not do unprovoked deeds, there must be causes and conditions in them.
Thinking of this, Monk Tingquan received his magical powers. Xiang Zhiyuan said: "Thank you Senior Brother for mentioning it, it's Tingquan who is reckless!" and then said to the angry monk: "Senior brother of the Angry Heart." The junior brother is rude and offended!" he said, bowing to the resentful monk to apologize.
Seeing this, the Zhiyuan monk let go of his body and no longer blocked the Tingquan monk, and at the same time, the monk of Dharma Ren also retreated into the distance. No more words, as if nothing had happened.
The resentful monk over there saw that Monk Tingquan apologized, and also returned the salute and said: "Buddhism practice, reluctant to be affectionate, Tingquan Senior Brother is worried about the eight hardships of the junior brother's accident." It's also reasonable, and there is no need to mind. It is also said that the poor monk is unable to speak clearly, and he failed to explain the cause and effect in time, so it is no wonder that the junior disciple!"
The half-moon monk on the side couldn't bear to let them come and go, and said directly: "Senior Brother Hatred, what is the matter with Senior Brother Eight Sufferings, and what kind of cause and circumstance do you sit down?
The Angry Monk sighed and said to the Half-Moon Monk: "Senior Brother Half-Moon, in fact, the cause and effect are clear, right in front of my eyes, isn't it in this upside-down dream path?"
Monk Half Moon turned around and glanced at the upside-down dream path, turned around and said unhappily: "Just now, Senior Brother Zhiyuan played dumb riddles with me, and I also said Senior Brother, you are straightforward, and now Senior Brother, you have also learned that Senior Brother Yuan has bad habits, and you have come to tease me." Dare to love is that you are all highly perceptive, to bully me, a stupid person who has no understanding. ”
When the Zhiyuan monk heard this, he laughed and said, "In this case, it was the resentful junior brother who helped me out of the siege just now." Now that the cause and effect are repaid, I will come to the words that the senior brother pointed out by the resentment. Senior Brother Half Moon, can you see that little girl in the path of upside-down dreams?"
When Monk Banyue heard this, he hurriedly folded his hands, shook his head and said: "I can't see it, I can't see it! I am a precept master in the convenient temple, how can I look at the woman, I have never seen it, I have never seen it!" The flesh on his cheeks was so thick that it had fallen down and was stacked together, and this shaking of his head drove the flesh on his face to fly.
Zhiyuan lay man teased: "Since you can't see it, that is, you have it in your heart." Since you have it in your heart, how can you say that you have never seen it? Senior brother, don't go around the bend in front of senior brother, let me tell you, this girl's background is not ordinary, she is the daughter of the eight bitter junior brothers, her name is bitter fish!"
When the half-moon monk heard this, he stopped shaking his head, and the fat on his face fell again, no longer flying, only to hear him stunned: "She is the daughter of the Eighth Bitter Senior Brother, isn't she my niece?"
When several of the monks heard this, they turned their backs and recited Amitabha Buddha endlessly.
Zhiyuan Jushi smiled: "I'll see it now! Don't talk nonsense, you want to recognize her as a niece, but she may not be willing to recognize you as a teacher?"
Monk Banyue distinguished: "Since she is the daughter of Eight Bitters, and Eight Bitters is my junior brother, then why am I not his uncle? If she wants to, unless Eight Bitters no longer be my junior brother." But now that the Eight Sufferings have been seated, they will never be able to change. This girl can't get rid of it!"
The monks listened to what the two of them said more and more outrageous, and finally provoked a black-clothed monk on the side to cough and express their dissatisfaction. Monk Half Moon turned around and asked the black-clothed monk, "Senior Brother Nine Hearts, what are you coughing for? Is there something wrong with what I said? Speaking of which, this girl is not only my niece, but also your niece, but also the niece of all the senior brothers present, and it can even be said to be the niece of Buddhism, isn't it?"
This black-clothed monk is called Nine Hearts, and he is the precept master of the Ten Senses Temple of the Buddha Gate Liji Peak, and when he heard the words of the half-moon monk, he felt that his cough was so redundant, and he knew that if he said too much, he would lose, if he spoke up, he didn't know what this scheming half-moon monk would say, so he had to be silent. There are also two monks standing beside him, namely the Dharma Seat Fuyin Monk of the Ten Senses Temple and the Monk of the Mountain Silence.
Seeing that the nine-hearted monk was silent, the half-moon monk asked, "Senior Brother of the Nine Hearts, why don't you speak?" Could it be that you are silently thinking about what to say and what to give when your niece comes up for a while?"
The nine-hearted monk was so angry that he wanted to roll his eyes, and simply turned away. Monk Half Moon still refused to let go, and was about to ask him why he turned around, when the Zhiyuan monk hurriedly interjected: "Senior Brother Half Moon, we are people in Buddhism, the four are empty, and there is nothing, what kind of greeting gift are you talking about!"
Monk Half Moon thought otherwise, and said: "Senior brother, what you said is wrong, the vacuum is wonderful, the vacuum is wonderful, there is a vacuum, there is no two, I said that the meeting ceremony, that is, it is not a meeting ceremony, it is a meeting ceremony......
Zhiyuan Jushi interrupted: "No, no, no, seeing is not seeing, not seeing is seeing." The so-called meeting ceremony, meeting is a ceremony, that is, the ceremony is meeting, and what else is there to meet ......"
The two monks said a word, and I argued a word, and the monks only ignored it. Monk Tingquan over there saw that they couldn't speak righteously, so he asked the resentful monk: "Senior brother, since Senior Brother Eight Bitters is seated, I don't know where it is in Foshan, and are there any relics left?"
The monk stretched out his hand and pointed to the end of the upside-down dream path, that is, on the left shoulder of the humanoid Buddha Mountain, and said, "Senior Brother Tingquan, can you see the stone statue there?"
Listening to the spring monk followed the hope, only to see that the monk of disgust was referring to a stone statue embedded in the rock wall, which seemed to be a bald monk, already covered with moss, and the stone wall was integrated, but the face was lifelike, and there was a sad color between the eyebrows and eyes. Monk Tingquan recognized clearly, this face is not the Eight Sufferings and who it is, he had seen this stone statue at the beginning, but he didn't care much, at this time it was broken by the Angry Monk, only then was he taken aback, and exclaimed: "Senior Brother of Eight Sufferings!"
This call attracted the eyes of all the monks to look over there, and even the monk Banyue and the monk Zhiyuan stopped arguing, and as far as they could see, they saw that the monk Tingquan had already stood in front of the stone statue, stretched out his hand and caressed the face of the stone statue, and tears fell from his eyes! All the monks put their hands together at the same time and chanted the Buddha's name.
Seeing this scene, the half-moon monk was disappointed, and said, "Is the senior brother of the Eight Bitters afraid of seeing his daughter and this period of cause and effect, so he sits down?"
Another monk suddenly asked, "Who lured this girl up the mountain, and how could she be with the Lord of Heavenly Destiny?"
As soon as Yifan finished speaking, another monk said: "After all, the cause and effect of the eight bitter junior brothers and this girl is a trivial matter. Just now, the Lord of Destiny led so many practitioners in the Bright and Pure Land to make a wish together, leading to the birth of Foshan and the appearance between heaven and earth, things are unusual, but I am afraid that there will be unforeseen changes, isn't it more worth worrying?"
Da Ru Zhizang just said this, all the monks were shocked, no one echoed in time, and another monk slowly said: "Although Da Ru is worried about the senior brother, but Foshan is invited by all living beings to appear in the world, and it will respond to the opportunity of blessing and misfortune." Although it can be seen that turmoil is coming, the poor monk thinks that the Buddha's heart is in the body of all beings, and Foshan may as well appear before all beings. But there is another thing that makes the poor monk even more puzzled. I would like to implore Elder Vajra Venerable to solve his disciple's doubts. ”
When the monks looked over, they saw that the place where the monk who spoke was standing was under a beautiful flower tree. I don't know what the name of this tree is, stretching the branches and leaves, each branch is a different flower, this branch is a peony, the next branch is a peony, the top is a camellia, but the bottom is a peach blossom. Not only that, some flowers that do not grow longer than the branches actually appear on the tree behind him, such as lotus flowers and so on. In short, on this strange flower tree, all kinds of flowers bloom between heaven and earth. (To be continued......) R1292
