Chapter 101 Wine and meat pass through the heart of Buddha
Elder Jinchi coveted the brocade cassock and deceived Monk Tang.
But they don’t know that the brocade cassock is a spiritual treasure of acquired merits and virtues. How can ordinary fire burn it down?
It's a pity that Tang Monk is also a mortal with naked eyes and knows nothing about this.
"That's it. The brocade cassock was given to the poor monk by the Bodhisattva to prevent demons from approaching."
"If it is gone, how can this poor monk get to the West?"
Tang Monk cried.
The journey to the west has ended before it even begins.
He is so difficult!
Such touching words reached the ears of Elder Jinchi.
Not only did it not make Elder Jinchi change his ways, it actually aroused his greed.
"It was actually a gift from Bodhisattva, and it is even more priceless!"
Elder Jinchi licked his lips and smiled greedily.
"Hoo ho!"
A moment of madness passed by.
The raging fire suddenly went out.
"who?"
Elder Jinchi's expression changed drastically.
If it is revealed that there is no brocade cassock in the fire, his conspiracy will go bankrupt.
Suddenly, a figure fell in the Zen courtyard.
Tang Seng looked at that fluffy bear face and was so frightened that he immediately collapsed on the ground.
"Monster!"
Tang Monk said in horror.
Elder Jinchi breathed a sigh of relief.
He and the Black Bear Spirit were friends. Perhaps he saw a fire in the Zen Temple and the Black Bear Spirit came to put out the fire.
Of course, this matter must not be known to Monk Tang, otherwise it would be treason for the monk to associate with monsters.
"Let's go!"
Elder Jinchi muttered and kept gesturing to the black bear spirit.
However, the black bear spirit remained unmoved, as if he didn't see it at all.
"Elder Tang!"
The black bear spirit helped Tang Monk up, his expression extremely gentle.
It's a pity that with his monster face, there is no softness at all.
"Monster...monster!"
"The poor monk has the nine-tin Zen staff given by the Bodhisattva. The monsters should retreat quickly!"
Tang Monk waved his Zen staff randomly, trying to drive away the black bear spirit.
"oh?"
"It turns out that the Jiuxi Zen Staff is also a treasure!"
Elder Jinchi's eyes shone brightly, and he became greedy again.
The black bear spirit curled his lips and saw at a glance that the Jiuxi Zen Staff was also a spiritual treasure of acquired merit.
It's a pity that Tang Monk has no magic power and cannot exert the effect of the Zen staff at all.
In other words, the Jiuxi Zen Staff and the Brocade Kasaya only rely on acquired merit and spiritual treasures to dispel evil spirits, but they cannot really help Tang Monk resist the evil spirits.
"Elder Tang."
"Although I am a monster, I have never harmed anyone."
"On the contrary, it was the monks of Guanyin Temple who coveted the elder's brocade cassocks and deliberately caused this fire!"
The black bear spirit revealed everything Sun Xiaosheng told him.
"Um?"
Tang Seng and Elder Jinchi were both dumbfounded, but they had different ideas.
"Monster, you are talking nonsense!"
Elder Jinchi said with a red face.
"oh?"
"You still don't admit it?"
The black bear spirit sneered, turned around and ran to Elder Jinchi's bedroom.
After a while, he came back with a brocade cassock.
"Elder Jinchi, you actually..."
Tang Seng was extremely angry.
As a monk, Elder Jinchi covets things outside of himself, which is a disgrace to the monks' precepts.
"hateful!"
"Come here, drive Monk Tang out of the Zen monastery for me!"
Elder Jinchi became so angry that he stopped pretending and had a showdown with Tang Seng.
"No need!"
Tang Monk waved his hand, holding the Nine-Xi Zen Staff, and left the Guanyin Temple directly.
The black bear spirit followed him out of the yard and stopped Tang Seng.
"Elder Tang, don't break the rules of anger!"
Black Bear Spirit kindly reminded.
"call!"
Tang Seng took a deep breath and relaxed a lot.
He turned to look at the black bear spirit and said in surprise: "I can't believe that you, a fairy, have learned so much about Buddhist scriptures that a poor monk is ashamed of himself."
"Haha, okay."
The black bear spirit scratched his head and secretly gave Sun Xiaosheng a thumbs up.
These words were all taught by Sun Xiaosheng, but he didn't expect that he would use them all.
"Elder Tang doesn't know that the Nine-Xi Zen Staff and the Brocade Kasaya are both rare treasures."
"If the elder takes them on the road, it will really be fatal."
"Elder, have you ever heard of the principle that a common man is not guilty of carrying a jade?"
The black bear spirit said seriously.
If Tang Seng had heard these words before, he would have hesitated.
But he tried the Jiuxi Zen Staff, but it had no effect on the black bear spirit at all.
On the contrary, it caused Elder Jinchi to become greedy.
"Everything is caused by greed."
"Is it also a test for the Bodhisattva to hand it over to the poor monk?"
Tang Monk shook his head and threw the Jiuxi Zen Staff directly on the ground.
"It's okay if you don't want these two treasures!"
After saying that, he took the white horse and left decisively.
"I'll go, and the monkey really got it right."
The black bear spirit burst into laughter.
The treasure Tang Seng didn't want naturally fell into his hands.
Sun Xiaosheng also fulfilled his promise and let Black Bear Jingbai pick up two acquired meritorious treasures.
Above the clouds.
The Five Directions Revealed Truths were dumbfounded.
Tang Seng, what is this operation?
Two wonderful treasures of acquired merit and virtue were just left on the road.
He also let Black Bear Spirit take advantage of it.
Tang Monk must be out of his mind.
"Do you want to come back with the black bear spirit?"
Yintou Jiedi said in a deep voice.
"Are you going to ask for it?"
"Tang Monk himself threw it away, not the black bear spirit that snatched it away."
"Since the journey to the west officially started, how many pairs of eyes have been watching. Buddhism cannot afford to lose this face."
The golden-headed Jiedi angrily rebuked.
Although they are just two acquired spiritual treasures of merit and virtue, they are also rare treasures in the hands of a Buddhist who cannot refine weapons.
It would be heartbreaking to lose it for no reason!
at the same time.
Tang Monk led the white horse and headed west along the avenue.
But I met an old monk in ragged clothes on the peninsula.
The old monk was lying on the road, lazily fanning his broken cattail leaf fan.
He also munched on the big chicken leg leisurely, looking like he was enjoying it very much.
"What a shame!"
Tang Monk couldn't stand it anymore.
How can a monk eat meat?
"Senior, as a monk, how can you kill a living being?"
Tang Monk scolded.
The old monk lazily opened his eyes, glanced at Tang Monk casually, and sneered.
"Who said the poor monk killed a living being?"
"This roast chicken was bought by a poor monk."
Tang Monk curled his lips, but said unconvinced:
"That's not okay, monks can't eat meat!"
The old monk sighed and looked at Tang Monk with disdain.
"Wine and meat have passed through the intestines, but they remain in the heart of the Buddha."
"The poor monk ate the meat, but his heart was magnanimous."
"You little monk, even if you don't eat meat, you still have ghosts in your heart."
"You are afraid that you are not pious enough to the Buddha, so you are not qualified to criticize the poor monk."
Hearing this, Tang Seng was immediately frightened.
He kept chanting the phrase "The meat and wine passed through the intestines, but the Buddha remained in his heart."
"Senior, the young monk also wants to try it."
"The wine and meat passed through the intestines, leaving a test in the heart of the Buddha."
"The poor monk can definitely do it!"
Tang Monk begged.
"well!"
The old monk sighed, tore off a chicken leg and threw it over.
Watching Tang Monk bite off a piece of meat.
"Amitabha."
"The poor monk has not forgotten the Buddha!"
While he was muttering, he ate the chicken leg cleanly.
"That's not right, meat and wine have passed through the intestines."
"Without wine, how can it be considered a test?"
Tang Monk stared longingly at the wine gourd on the old monk's waist.?
