Chapter 21 Maitreya is born and the details of the Chen family
Spring rain starts from the time of Zi and ends from the time of Yin.
In the early morning, a great sun rises from the east.
Yuanjue Temple is located on the west side of Danyang Town and covers a very large area.
The temple has all the bell towers, drum towers, main halls, heavenly king halls, Vairo halls, Arhat halls, etc., and there are dozens of houses and hundreds of novice monks. The sound of monks chanting scriptures can be heard two or three miles away every day. It is a very magnificent Bodhi temple.
The monk in the temple rings the morning bell, and the bells are melodious.
Zen Master Pushan of the Precepts Hall was tall and majestic. He wore a brocade robe and walked through the square where the monks were doing morning classes. He came to the abbot's room in the backyard to pay homage to his senior brother, Monk Puzhi.
"Senior brother, why did the thunder sound sound from the mountain yesterday?
Monk Puzhi had a sad face and a thin body. He sat on the futon with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.
"Senior brother, is the Taoist priest in Laojun's temple exerting his magical powers?"
Zen Master Pushan knew that his senior brother was about to attain the Arhat fruit flavor and had great supernatural powers, so he must know the root cause of the matter.
"On the day of the Waking of Insects, the Eastern Thunder Emperor shook the spring thunder and made all things grow."
"Yesterday, the Thunder Emperor's Dharma Body revealed the holy body!"
Monk Puzhi opened his eyes and spoke slowly.
Zen Master Pushan was stunned when he heard this and murmured: "That little Taoist priest is only in his teens, and he actually has the power to summon the Thunder Emperor?"
"I know you and Jiangning City God plan to open the Yin-Yang Pass in Hengwang Mountain and summon the evil demons from hell to appear. That Taoist priest is the one who will definitely stop you and wait!" Monk Puzhi sighed and said to Pushan.
Zen Master Pushan was exposed by his senior brother, and his expression was a little flustered, and he calmed down after a while:
"I know that my senior brother has the ability to understand his heart, so I can't hide this from my senior brother!"
"There are five hundred years left to be the Dharma-Ending Calamity. I have received news that the Buddha of Sakyamuni in the Western Heaven and the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha in Hell have all entered Nirvana and will only be released again after the disaster."
"World-Honored One's Narcissal, Maitreya Buddha will be born, and he will use great power to delay the arrival of the Dharma-Ending World."
"Yaksha, Rakshasa and others under the command of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva want to go out first and clean up the filth in the world for Maitreya Buddha."
"My junior brother, I have infinite merits to do this fact! When Maitreya Buddha comes to the world, I will surely pass me to the bright world of Longhua!"
Monk Puzhi's eyes were clear, looking at the fanatical expression of Zen Master Pushan, knowing that his junior brother had already penetrated into the devil's obstacles and could not turn back, so he sighed again and reminded: "I know I can no longer persuade you. I just hope that you can keep the compassionate heart of Buddhism and not commit sins!"
Zen Master Pushan bowed to his senior brother on the cushion and said, "Don't worry, senior brother, those yakshas, Rakshasa and others have been listening to the sutras under the seat of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for many years, and have long since been transformed from evil roots and have been included in the Dharma-Record Heaven and Dragon Eight Tribes, and they will definitely not do evil."
Monk Puzhi shook his head with compassion, then closed his eyes and sat withered, and stopped talking.
Seeing that his senior brother was like this, Zen Master Pushan stood up on the cushion and said goodbye and left.
Monk Puzhi opened his eyes again, looked at the junior brother's departure back, and murmured:
"Maitreya is truly Maitreya, with a million clones, and it is always shown to people at the same time, but people at the same time do not recognize them!"
Monk Pushan came to the Main Hall, lit sandalwood, and sincerely worshiped the Buddha.
On the altar, there is not Shakyamuni, but a Buddha statue that has never been seen before.
He is tall and has a solemn golden body and a compassionate face, but behind him there are thousands of hands and thousands of eyes, looking sacred and weird.
Monk Pushan worshipped: "Namo Maitreya's King Buddha!"
After Zhang Muzhi practiced boxing in Laojun's temple, he used breakfast. The white fox who had never appeared for many days came to the yard.
"Why did you come today?"
Zhang Muzhi did not blame him, but just asked casually
The white fox kowtowed several times before speaking: "Since I bid farewell to the little Tianshi that day, I thought about going to the mountains to find some ginseng herbs to give to the little Tianshi as a gift. I didn't want to be caught by the young master of the Chen family to be raised by the hunting dog. Fortunately, the Chen family's lady was kind-hearted and released me."
Zhang Muzhi was stunned when he heard this: "Which Chen family? It's early spring, and birds and beasts are gone. Why are you hunting at this time?"
The white fox replied softly: "It's the Chen family in Danyang Town! Mr. Chen said that his sister promised a marriage. He wanted to catch a fox to make a fox fur and make a gift to his sister, so that the servants could drive the hunting dog to search the mountains..."
"Why did it happen so by chance?"
Zhang Muzhi frowned, thinking that the Korean official asked him to calculate the horoscope a few days ago, and the woman was the lady of the Chen family.
So Zhang Muzhi asked the Chen family exactly who is there, what is the family style, how is the temperament of the Chen family, etc.
The white fox stammered for a long time and only said that Miss Chen was kind-hearted and had a very good appearance, but she couldn't explain the rest clearly.
Zhang Muzhi waved his hand to stop the white fox and asked again: "I sensed that there was a little beast outside the wall. Did you come with you?"
The white fox nodded and his voice became weaker: "That's Erlang from the Huang family. He was caught by the hunting dog from Young Master Chen's family with me..."
"When Mr. Chen saw that my fur looks good, he wanted his servant to kill me and take off his skin. Huang Erlang bit off his own rope and escaped to call the lady of the Chen family, which saved my life. He heard that I was lucky enough to follow the little Tianshi and insisted on coming together..."
Zhang Muzhi was silent for a moment. When the white fox thought he would be rejected, he heard: "Since you have this fate, you will call him to see him!"
The white fox was overjoyed and jumped towards the woodshed. He squeaked a few times at the entrance of the wall, and then led a yellow-skinned boy to Zhang Muzhi.
Two little beasts, one yellow and one white, kowtowed together, saying, "Greetings to the little Tianshi!"
Zhang Muzhi smiled and said, "Do you have names?"
The white fox looked up and said in a sweet voice: "My name is Hu Xiner!"
Huang Pizi said respectfully: "Your name is Huang Yanqing, and the little master calls me Huang Erlang," he said.
Zhang Muzhi nodded: "Then Erlang, let's talk about the situation of the Chen family in Danyang Town. There is no need to be restrained. You can say whatever you know!"
Huang Erlang thought about it and began to tell the situation of the Chen family.
"The old man of the Chen family has a reputation as a juren. He has been a minister of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites. He lives 90 years old this year!"
Zhang Muzhi secretly wrote down: "If you don't understand the method of practicing Taoism and maintaining health, you will never be able to enjoy such a long life!"
"After Mr. Chen resigned, he settled in Danyang Town. He raised three sons and all had scholars, but they all died prematurely!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"At present, only the eldest son of the Chen family and the Miss Chen family are regarded as the pearl in their eyes by Mr. Chen."
"This Chen family's young master is quite talented..."
Zhang Muzhi suddenly asked, "Has the old man of the Chen family ever learned the aisle?"
Huang Erlang was stunned and replied, "I have never heard of the old man learning Taoism, but it is said that he is a Buddhist and has a close contact with the monks from Yuanjue Temple!"
"By the way! I have heard that the City God has also visited the old master of the Chen family from time to time!"
"Oh? How did you know about ghosts and gods in the underworld?"
Huang Erlang replied respectfully: "I dare not deceive Xiao Tianshi. Some elders in my family are doing secret troubles under the City God..."
This yellow skin that can be used to be a bad yin must be devouring Yin Qi to practice, and it will take a path similar to that of ghosts and foxes.
Zhang Muzhi suddenly thought of Huangpi's request for fence that night, and asked, "A few days ago, your child begged me for fence. Can't your Huang family join the Fox School?"
Huang Erlang was startled and began to hesitate: "This...that...that...that should be my incompetent child. If you don't practice well, you want to take a shortcut..."
The white fox named Hu Xiner spoke and explained to Huang Erlang: "Little Tianshi, the Huang family's children can actually enter school, but most of them are despised by the Hu family, so their family gradually stopped going much. Most of them practiced the ways of ghosts and foxes, or took tricks to ask for a title!"
Zhang Muzhi nodded, then confirmed Miss Chen's character, and calculated it alone in his mind.
"The Chen family's great master can make friends with the City Gods and Ghosts and Gods with mortals, and also have contacts with Yuanjue Temple. This matter is worth pondering!"
"The Chen family's lady is pure and pure. The Chen family suddenly wants to marry Mr. Han's family, obviously they want to cause trouble..."
"Han Yuanwai is the most sincere believer in Laojun's view, and he is also a rare person with all the blessings!"
"Their move is obviously for me! These people have harmed Han Yuanwai, and I have no shame to settle down in Laojunguan, and also seized the Han family's fortunes. It's really a good plan!"
"Well! Just show some methods and save these people from tempting again and again!"
Now that Zhang Muzhi has practiced the thunder method, his confidence will naturally increase greatly. He is eager to fight with others to verify the results of his cultivation.
Two little beasts lay on the ground, looked up at Zhang Muzhi, not daring to speak.
Zhang Muzhi made a plan in his heart, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "You two must learn the Tao from me, and I am not stingy, but you need to receive the precepts before this!"
Hu Xiner and Huang Erlang kowtowed together: "I am willing to take the precepts!"
