Accidentally Falling Into the Buddha's Net (1)
Accidentally Falling Into the Buddha's Net (1)
Li Xiaoyao, Lin Yueru, and Zhao Ling 'er strode into the Jade Buddha Temple together. Inside the temple, the orthodox Buddhist temple structure was complete. After entering the mountain gate, they could see the Zhigui Pavilion on both sides. Passing through the Zhigui Pavilion and the surrounding walls, the majestic Mahavira Hall stood in front of them, and behind them was the Sutra Block. The structure was neat and orderly, with majestic halls, yellow walls, and black tiles, giving off a solemn aura.
Looking at the rows of palaces in the darkness, the three of them quieted down and lingered in the garden.
All of a sudden, they heard a panicked scream. Li Xiaoyao and the other two quickly ran in the direction of the sound. They saw that in front of the incense burner in the courtyard, the young monk named Zhi Ze was running away like a rat while covering his head. There was a man behind him holding a large knife and chasing after him.
Zhi Ze ran around the incense burner and shouted,"Let me go, don't…don't do it…save me!”
"I'll chop you to death, you bastard!" The burly man with the knife shouted.”
The burly man's voice was like a great bell and his body was like an iron tower. However, he had shaved his head and was wearing a monk's robe. There were actually people fighting on the spot in this Buddhist Sect's Pure Land. Li Xiaoyao was truly dumbfounded.
Hiding behind the incense burner, Zhi Ze panted and said," Let's…let's talk things out, Junior Brother…"
The man who was separated from him by the incense burner also stopped and shouted,"You lied to me! I won't be fooled again!"
After saying that, he chased to the left. Zhize ran to the right and could only scream.
Li Xiaoyao took a big step forward and waved his sword. The man subconsciously waved his sword to block. Li Xiaoyao shook his wrist and turned his sword, pressing the man's sword down by about an inch."Hey, master, you're wearing the clothes of a monk, but you're fighting and killing.”
"Who are you?" the man shouted. What does it have to do with me?"
"If you go on a killing spree here, the Buddha will be angry.”
"I don't care!" the big man said. I can't take it anymore. I even killed Buddha!”
Li Xiaoyao was speechless when he heard that the man was so rebellious. He had thought that the wisdom master was powerful and that the Jade Buddha Temple should be peaceful. He did not expect it to be so brutal.
The man tried to pull out his knife, but Li Xiaoyao restrained him so that he couldn't move. Only then did Zhi Ze relax and hide behind Li Xiaoyao.
The man glared at Zhi Ze and roared," You can't escape! I'll chop you up, little monk! I'll cook you!"”
"Hey, Master, let's talk things out. What's going on?" Li Xiaoyao said.”
"That little bastard lied to me!"”
"What did he lie to you about?"
"You tricked me into becoming a monk!"
"What is it? You…you were tricked? Why do you want to become a monk?" Li Xiaoyao asked curiously.
"I was originally a butcher, so I had to eat at least five pounds of meat every day, or else my whole body would be in a bad state." This little monk lied to me and said that being a monk here, I can eat and drink every day. In the end, when I came, it was not like that at all!”
"This Penniless Monk didn't lie to you. It's true that there's food and water!" Zhi Ze said coyly.”
"Hmph!" The burly man said. Eating rice, drinking herbal tea, and eating vegetables and radishes every day, my mouth is about to fade out!”
Li Xiaoyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry." Master, monks can't eat meat. Don't you know that?"”
"How would I know if no one told me?" the man shouted. Then I won't be a monk anymore! I don't want to be one anymore!"
Zhize hurriedly said,"No, no, you've shaved your head and received the certificate. You can't go back on your word."”
"I don't want to be one anymore!" The burly man's eyes widened in anger. Even this won't do?"
"Of course not. Once you enter the Buddhist Sect, you definitely can't go back on your word.”
"If you give me meat, I won't go back on my word!"”
"Amitabha, you can't eat meat after entering Buddhism." Junior Brother, you can endure for a few more days. Don't lose anything…"
"I don't want to tolerate it anymore!" the man said angrily. Just now, I finally caught a deer and cooked a pot of deer soup to satisfy my craving. Who knew that this little bastard would throw away the meat and soup!”
"Deer?" "What kind of deer did you catch?" Li Xiaoyao asked.”
The man said,"That deer is still young. It has a broken horn and its leg is injured. That's why I was able to catch it." Seeing that its wound was rotten to the bone, I might as well cut it down and let it ascend to heaven early to meet the f * cking Buddha!”
" You…" Li Xiao Yao was shocked and heartbroken." You…you killed that injured deer?"”
"This big brother doesn't want to become a monk, so why do you have to force him to stay?" Lin Yu 'eru said to Zhize. Are there not enough people who renounce asceticism?"
"This…this is Master's will, I can't go against it."”
"Master? Who is your master?"
"The abbot of our monastery, Master Zhi Xiu."
"I've never heard of a rule that forbids renouncing asceticism," Lin Yueru said. Hey, big brother who kills pigs, if you don't want to become a monk, they won't let you go. Why don't you run away yourself? You're so big, who can stop you?”
The burly man became even more furious when he heard this. He said,"If I could go back, I would have gone back long ago."
"What do you mean?" Lin Yueru asked curiously.”
The man said,"Ever since the Abbot shaved my hair, I can't remember many things before I became a monk." I only know that I am a butcher, I only want to eat meat!”
The three of them listened in bewilderment. Li Xiaoyao was even more puzzled. He looked at Zhao Ling 'er, as if he understood why Zhao Ling' er felt that there was something mysterious about this place.
Lin Yueru didn't seem to believe him. She said,""You don't remember anything? How could this be?"
"I don't know! I want to eat meat!"
"Amitabha," Zhize said,"all spirits have the nature of Buddha. How can they feed on each other?"”
"If you say it again, if you say it again, I'll chop you up!”
Li Xiaoyao kept his sword and the man was about to attack again. Li Xiaoyao flicked the hilt of his sword at the man's chest, and the man's mountain-like body was sent flying and landed heavily on the ground.
"Junior Brother Zhi Zhang, are you alright?"”
The man called Zhizhang clutched his chest, unable to speak in pain. He was still moaning in vulgar language, meaning that he wanted to do something to Zhize's mother.
Zhi Ze didn't look angry and took a step back. He put his palms together and said to Li Xiaoyao,"
"Patrons, this little monk will introduce you to the abbot!”
"Thank you for your trouble," Li Xiaoyao said.
The three of them followed Zhize and walked past the Returning Finger Pavilion. They turned into the second arched door and climbed up the stairs.
In the west pavilion behind the main hall, it should be the place where the scriptures were kept. However, there was only an old monk in the room copying the scriptures. In the bedroom on the east side, a few monks could be vaguely seen chanting scriptures. Until the door of the dhyana xiu room at the very top was tightly shut, Zhi Ze said,
"Abbot, there are three secular guests who wish to see you.”
However, he heard a faint "mm" from inside the door. Zhi Ze said,"The abbot has allowed it. Please."
As he spoke, he gently pushed the door open.
Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling 'er, and Lin Yueru were all respectful. They didn't know what kind of master they would be meeting. In the empty meditation room, there was only a bed and a furnace. In the middle of the bed sat a monk wearing the kasaya of the abbot. Two monks stood beside him, looking calm and peaceful.
What shocked Li Xiaoyao and the others was that the monk in the abbot's kasaya looked very young, almost like a child! His round face was somewhat similar to Zhize's, and he even looked a few years younger than Zhize. How could he be the abbot?
Li Xiaoyao was still suspicious when Zhi Ze bowed respectfully and said," Master, this is Almsgiver Li."
Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru looked at each other and whispered,""Why is it a child?"
"Could it be that he's regaining his youth?" Lin Yueru asked in a low voice. I've heard that some experts who have cultivated to a certain level can have youthful looks and white hair. This monk has no hair, so I don't know if he has crane hair…"
Only Zhao Ling 'er remained silent as she looked at the wisdom cultivator.
"Amitabha," said Tong Yan's wisdom cultivator master,"why have you three benefactors come?”
Now that things had come to this, it was useless to doubt him. Li Xiaoyao could only try his best and said," Eh, it's like this…I heard that the master's magic power is very strong. I want to ask the master to go down the mountain to get rid of the demonic corpses and eliminate a disaster for the residents of White River Village and Black Water Town…"
"I am a Buddhist and never ask about the secular affairs of the outside world. Please return!" Grandmaster Zhi Xiu said slowly.”
Li Xiaoyao hurriedly said," Master, you're wrong. It's natural for monks to subdue demons and defend the Dao. How can it be a matter of the outside world?"”
Master Zhi Xiu raised his eyes and glanced at Li Xiao Yao."Patron, you believe that it is the duty of monks to eliminate demons and protect the Dao. Then, are you willing to eliminate demons and protect the Dao?”
"Of course, as long as it's within my ability, I'll do my best!" Li Xiaoyao said.”
Wisdom Master smiled. This kind smile really had the bearing of a meditating monk.
"Buddha is merciful. Almsgiver Li, you also agree to have a compassionate heart and free yourself from the worldly tribulation?"”
"Of course…"
"With this measure, Patron, you truly possess a deep Buddha-nature."”
"This…I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it…" Li Xiaoyao smiled embarrassedly.
"Don't forget that even animals have Buddha nature," Lin Yueru said embarrassedly.”
Li Xiaoyao glared at her. In front of the master, he was too embarrassed to bicker with her.
Wisdom Cultivator Master said," Almsgiver Li, you must be a Buddhist. The Buddhist Sect views everything as one and saves all living beings. Not only do you want to save the common people, but you also want to save Almsgiver from the world of the five turbidities and convert to the three treasures of the Buddhist Sect.”
" This... Master, you mean..." Li Xiaoyao was puzzled.
"Zhize, bring out the razor and the kasaya."”
"Yes!" Zhi Ze replied. He turned around and left.
"Wait, why do you need a razor and a kasaya?" Li Xiaoyao hurriedly asked.”
"Of course I'll help you shave your hair," Lin Yueru said."Otherwise, would you be helping Ling 'er and me become monks?"”
"This…"
"Female benefactor, you have great wisdom." Grandmaster Zhi Xiu said.”
"I, I didn't say I wanted to become a monk!" Li Xiaoyao said in shock.”
"Patron, you've already agreed, so why are you going back on your word?”
"When…when did I agree?"
"You just said that it's natural for monks to vanquish demons and protect the Dao. Let me ask you," said Zhi Xiu."Patron, are you willing to eliminate the demons and protect the Dao?" What did you say?"
" I…I said…Eh, it can't be counted like this. I'll be a secular disciple and I can also exterminate demons and protect the Dao…"
"A layman disciple can also exterminate the devil and defend the Dao, so why did you especially ask Old Na, a monk, to exterminate the devil and defend the Dao?"”
" Because…this…this…Master, you can't say that…" Li Xiaoyao was tongue-tied. He knew that Master Zhi Xiu's statement was a kind of sophistry, but he couldn't think of a more powerful rebuttal. The eminent monk of the Buddhist Sect was skilled in Zen and was most proficient in these sophistry techniques. Li Xiaoyao was naturally not his match.
Zhize brought over the neatly folded kasaya and the Razor Duzheng and said,"Master, please."
After he placed everything on the meditation couch, he respectfully put his palms together and bowed before leaving.
Li Xiaoyao was about to turn around and run when the door of the meditation room suddenly moved without any wind. With a bang, it closed tightly.
Li Xiaoyao was surprised. Although this wisdom cultivator master looked young, he might really have magic power, which was why he was able to close the door without moving.
"You really have to become a monk," Lin Yueru said.”
"I don't want to! Who are you helping? Don't be so excited!" Li Xiaoyao said anxiously.
"Hehe, I see you're a thief. Can't you behave yourself as a monk?" Lin Yueru said.”
" You…" Master Zhi Xiu held his saber and said,""Almsgiver Li, please come over."
"No, no, Master, we still need to discuss this matter…" Li Xiaoyao said.
"Amitabha. Patron, since you've agreed, it's not up to you."”
After saying that, the two kind-looking monks dashed to the door like lightning. The scepters in their hands clanged and made a clear sound, blocking the exit.
It turned out that they also knew martial arts. Master Zhi Xiu said,"Capture Benefactor Li."
"How can you force someone to become a monk like this?" Li Xiaoyao said angrily. The Buddhist Sect doesn't have such a reason!"
Wisdom said,"The foolish sentient beings are unable to understand the greed and anger of the secular world. I have no choice but to do it by force." Patron, if you convert to Buddhism, you can ascend to the heavens and worship Buddha after death. You won't fall into the eighteen levels of hell. I'm doing this for your own good. I can't watch you fall!”
"I appreciate your good intentions, but you can keep such a good thing for yourself!"”
The two martial monks, under the guidance of the Wise Cultivator Grandmaster, struck Li Xiaoyao's left and right knees with their wands!
Lin Yu 'eru and Zhao Ling' er shouted at the same time. Each of them struck the two monks with their palms. Li Xiao Yao quickly turned around and pulled out his sword.""Watch my sword!"
He drew his sword back and the two monks dodged at the same time. With a cry, they aimed their staffs at Li Xiaoyao's chest. Li Xiaoyao tilted his body and hit the air with his iron staff, leaving two holes in the ground. It was obvious that the two monks had strong arms. If they were hit, they would be seriously injured.
Li Xiaoyao was shocked. He used the Sword Qi of " Opening the Golden Palace, Second Peak Leader " and shook the iron staffs in the hands of the two monks. However, the two monks were not afraid. They went forward empty-handed to capture him. Li Xiaoyao was afraid that if the sword qi hurt them, the wisdom cultivator master would be angry and not allow them to go down the mountain to eliminate the demon. Thus, he held back a little bit of the sword qi and said,"Hey, don't push me too far!”
Lin Yueru didn't care if she was injured or not. She drew her sword and said,""Two against one, I can't stand it!”
As he spoke, he flew like a leaf and landed gracefully in the battlefield. He forced back one of the monks with his sword. The monk did not care about Lin Yueru's sharp sword and aimed for Lin Yueru's head and face with his palm. Lin Yueru was shocked. He turned his sword in front of her face and averted the danger. Then, he thrust his sword forward. The monk was not afraid of death. He came forward and waved his left arm in front of Lin Yueru. Lin Yueru felt a surge of zhenqi and could not stand still. She retreated continuously.
The situation on Li Xiaoyao's side was the same. The two monks attacked in the same way. They were like two figures in a mirror. The more Zhao Ling 'er looked, the more she understood.
After Li Xiaoyao was knocked back a few steps, he could no longer stand and staggered. The two monks rushed forward and pressed Li Xiaoyao to the ground.
Master Zhi Xiu held a razor and slowly walked forward."Benefactor, why do you have to struggle so hard? As long as he shaved off the Three Thousand Threads of Worry, there would be no pain.”
"Hey, who said that a shaved head is a monk?" Li Xiaoyao shouted. Being a monk who couldn't eat meat or marry a wife, there were three ways to be unfilial.”
"Understanding life and death, love and hate, is for a great rest. Since you've entered the Void Gate, let go of all these!"”
"What kind of joke is this!?" Li Xiaoyao said. Why should I be able to see through wine, meat, and women?”
Master Zhi Xiu said," Wine is poison that pierces the intestines, meat is the same kind of body, and women are the demon kings. Patron, why do you have to be greedy for these three things?"”
"What kind of woman is a demon king?" Lin Yueru's expression changed. Bah! I won't allow you to shave his head!"
As he spoke, he twisted his sword and stabbed at the two monks, not caring whether he would hurt them or not. "Amitabha!" the Wisdom Cultivator Master chanted.”He flew forward and sent Lin Yueru flying with a palm strike. Lin Yu 'eru cried out in surprise. Her body floated in the air and landed lightly on the ground as if she was being held by a gentle hand.
When he focused his gaze, he saw that the person who had sent out the palm energy was Zhao Ling 'er. The wisdom cultivator master turned his head to look at Zhao Ling' er in surprise. Zhao Ling 'er said,"Master, the Buddhist Dharma you know is wrong. This is impossible.”
"Little girl, how can you talk about FaLun's faults so arrogantly?" the Wisdom Master said coldly.”
As he spoke, he bent down to shave Li Xiaoyao's hair. Li Xiaoyao was suppressed by the two martial monks and couldn't struggle free. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Break!" Zhao Ling 'er shouted softly. With a lift of his palms, the two monks were knocked back by themselves, but they disappeared after a leap.
"Ah!" Lin Yueru exclaimed in shock. Demonic techniques…"
"Female benefactor, you…" Grandmaster Zhi Xiu's expression changed.
Li Xiaoyao jumped up and said,"Demon monk!" I must teach you a lesson!"
Li Xiaoyao's sword stabbed out rapidly, and several consecutive strikes were aimed at the vital points. Master Zhi Xiu was in a dilemma, and he was clumsy in dismantling the sword. He hurriedly shouted,"Ah…no, don't…don't do it. Female benefactor, you're also a member of the Buddhist Sect, how can you just sit back and do nothing?”
Li Xiaoyao was even more furious when he heard that. He raised his sword and attacked while saying,""Who do you want to call a monk again? Ling 'er and Yue Ru won't listen to you, so don't dream about it!”
Master Zhi Xiu dodged and fled in a sorry state. He had nowhere to retreat and could only shout,"Spare…spare my life!"
Li Xiaoyao blocked his neck with his sword and said angrily,""Are you afraid of death? Didn't they say that they could see through life and death, love and hate? Bah! Nonsense!"
Zhao Ling 'er took a step forward and stood in front of Li Xiaoyao, saying,""Brother Xiaoyao, put down your sword. Don't make things difficult for him.”
"Hmph!" Li Xiaoyao said. If you say it, I'll let you go."
With that, he sheathed his sword. Zhao Ling 'er turned to Zhi Xiu and said,"You're still not going to return to your original form?"”
Grandmaster Zhi Xiu nodded. His appearance gradually changed, and he looked exactly the same as Zhi Ze who was outside earlier.
Lin Yueru's eyes widened." How…how could it be Zhizhe? Just now…those people were all transformed by you?”
Zhi Ze nodded, a little afraid.
Li Xiaoyao was also shocked speechless. Zhao Linger said,""I see that your cultivation is not shallow. Why would you waste it on an incarnation spell?”
"I…I just want to cultivate Buddhism…"
"How is that possible?" Li Xiaoyao couldn't believe it. You're just fooling around. How can you cultivate the Buddhist Dharma?”
"I'm the Buddha Bead that Master Dharma holds, and I've been cultivating for 999 years." I think…my former master always said that the Buddha's light should save all living beings and let all living beings touch the Buddha's grace. That's why I want everyone to become monks and quickly cultivate to the right fruit…I, what's wrong with me?”
Seeing his aggrieved look, Zhao Ling 'er said,""You have nearly a thousand years of cultivation. It is only right for you to focus on cultivation and seek the path of purification. However, how can you rely on your mana to force others to become monks?”
Zhi Ze said," Of course, this is the path of compassion. Making everyone become devout Buddhist disciples is to keep them away from the filth of the secular world!”
"Amitabha!" Li Xiaoyao said. What kind of compassion was this? Who taught you that?"
Zhi Ze said," This is what the scriptures say. When a mortal sends out a Buddhist thought, there will be an incredible result. Therefore, people must often recite the Buddha. Even if they fall into hell in the future, they will have a chance to escape and ascend to heaven.”
"The essence of cultivation is to sacrifice oneself to help others. Buddha said that self-denial is self-sacrifice, Buddha said that compassion is to help others. But what you did was the opposite, forcing people to forget themselves and their homes. Such a Buddha who chanted with forgetting and deception, because he was greedy for benefits, all the merits he made were burned by the fire of anger. In other words, they had no merit. Besides, did it have to be in the temple to accumulate merit and recite Buddha?”
"Otherwise…can I not become a monk?"”
Zhao Ling 'er said," The center of Buddhism is the Three Nothingness. The so-called' Law of Discipline 'is a constant of the secular world. Those who achieve samadhi are also secular. Flying with divine feet was also a constant in the secular world. Wisdom was the first thing to achieve.'，It can be seen that among the three treasures of precepts, concentration and wisdom, precepts and concentration are only auxiliary to wisdom. If you can recognize life, get along with the environment around you, be harmonious and happy, that is true enlightenment. That depends on comprehension, not hair loss. You have a thousand years of cultivation, but you only have the wisdom of a child. If this went on, he was afraid that he would not be able to reach Buddha and would instead fall into the demonic path.”
"Bodhisattva!" Zhize suddenly understood and knelt down. You're a Bodhisattva!"
"Don't be like this, I'm not a Bodhisattva!" Zhao Ling 'er hurriedly said. Get up!"
Zhi Ze kowtowed several times and said," Bodhisattva, no one has ever taught me these principles. Please accept me as your disciple!"”
" These principles are nothing much," Zhao Ling 'er said." This is what my master usually teaches me. Don't…"
Li Xiaoyao interrupted Zhao Ling 'er's modest words and said,""Let him atone for his sins. We are about to go subdue the demonic corpse. This little guy might be useful.”
"Zhize, are you willing to help the villagers get rid of the demonic corpses?" Zhao Ling 'er asked.”
Zhi Ze nodded continuously and said,"Okay, let me follow you. I know who is controlling the corpse demon behind the scenes. I can help you find him!" "So the demonic corpses are controlled by someone?" Li Xiaoyao asked.”
Zhi Ze said," Most of the demonic corpses at the foot of the mountain came from the mass grave north of Black Water Town. There is a general's tomb of the Sui Dynasty there. The Red Ghost King is hiding in the blood pool underground." He used evil techniques to control corpses to suck human blood for him to cultivate the Blood Demon Divine Technique.”
"Oh my god…Such an evil demon?" Li Xiaoyao was speechless.”
"I know how to deal with the Red Spirit King. Bodhisattva, please accept me as your disciple!"”
Zhao Ling 'er said," Alright, since you have the heart, but don't call me Bodhisattva. I'm not. Don't blaspheme Bodhisattva either. If you're happy, call me Sheng Ling' er."”
"I…I don't dare."”
"Then you can call me whatever you want, but you're not allowed to call me Bodhisattva. Also, follow me in your original form!”
"Yes, Master, my name is Little Stone!" Please match me with your body. I can increase your magic power and help you resist the Yin Qi in the tomb.”
After he finished speaking, Zhi Ze's body shook and disappeared, leaving behind a string of jade Buddha beads on the ground.
Zhao Ling 'er picked up the jade Buddha beads and wore them. She said,""Big brother Xiaoyao, how do we find the Scarlet Ghost King? Little Stone can sense it for me, let's go!”
The three of them walked down the stairs and saw three young monks discussing animatedly in the courtyard in front of them. When they saw Li Xiaoyao and the others coming down, they were all surprised.
The three young men looked a little alike. Li Xiaoyao recalled and said,""You…are the three Jiang brothers?”
The three of them were even more surprised. One of them said,"Yes, how did this benefactor know?”
"We heard from Doctor Han that our abbot is willing to let you go back. There was one who was originally a butcher just now."”
One of the three Jiang brothers said," We don't know either. Just now, all of a sudden, my blank mind cleared up. That butcher shouted,'I remember who I am. I know where my home is!'The three of us felt like we had woken up from a dream. We didn't know how this could have happened!”
"Which one of you is Jiang Shaoyun?" Li Xiaoyao asked.”
A dignified monk stepped forward and said,""I am."
"Miss Meng Ci misses you very much. Hurry up and go back to see her!" Li Xiaoyao said.”
"I will forever remember the kindness of rebirth," said Jiang Shaoyun.”
After the three brothers thanked Li Xiao Yao and the others, they quickly walked out of the door and rushed home.
"Ha!" Li Xiaoyao laughed. This could be said to be a complete merit. Amitabha!”
Lin Yueru smiled." You read it so seriously. It looks like you have the talent to be a monk!"”
As soon as the three of them walked out of the Jade Buddha Temple, Lin Yueru suddenly noticed that a large part of the shadow on the ground had disappeared. She turned around and saw that the entire temple had disappeared. The original pink walls had turned into a lush forest.
