After a few hours, the old monk Kugui stopped explaining. He cleared his throat and said softly:
"Fellow monks, let's start free exchanges now. If you don't understand or don't understand anything, you can raise it. Of course, these secrets cannot be understood overnight. I have only scratched the surface of my understanding. Even this superficial knowledge is enough.
It took Lao Chan twenty years. During those twenty years, Lao Chan never left the six-step rooftop. But once he had an epiphany, he would benefit from it for the rest of his life.
"Twenty years?! Mark! My Taoist couple and concubines are only willing to wait for me for two years. After twenty years, the day lily will be cold!" Tian Jiu hummed with sour teeth.
"That last monk, what's your name?" Old monk Kugui heard Tianjiu's muttering and suddenly asked with a smile.
"Oh, little monk Wuchen!"
"Wuchen?" Ku Hui was stunned for a moment: "Why Wuchen? According to the current generation classification in Famen Temple, it should be: Ku, Nie, Hui, Le, Jin, Kuan, and below Jin Dan, there is no specific name.
, the monk friend is at the peak of the final stage of Jindan, why not give him the title of "Le"?"
Abbot Kudeng was about to stand up and explain, but Tianjiu replied with a smile: "Haha, Master, the young monk is a lay disciple, so he is not part of the inherent group of the sect."
"A lay disciple?" Ku Hui was even more stunned now.
"That's right! The so-called lay disciples are what my master, Master Huiming, realized. That is, as long as thousands of people, whether monks or ordinary people, believe in me, the Buddha, they can lead them to practice. There is no need for too many Buddhist precepts or special training.
The master pointed out that if you believe in Buddhism, you are a Buddha. Even eating some meat and drinking some wine is allowed, and even marrying a wife and having children is acceptable."
"Hey~! Such a statement?!" Ku Hui was shocked and looked at Abbot Ku Deng beside the stage in disbelief.
In the Dongzu Zen Monastery, there was an explosion, and there were a lot of discussions for a while. Some shook their heads, and some nodded.
The corner of Abbot Kudeng's mouth twitched obviously, he paused briefly, and then stood up.
"Amitabha! What Wuchen said is indeed true. As soon as the lay disciples said it, it has been officially included in the temple's promotion plan. Nine Spirits, Nine Saints, you are all participating in the southern expedition. What is the biggest resistance you encounter?"
The evil lion who had met Tianjiu outside the gate stood up and replied: "Master Abbot, our greatest resistance is not when we attack, but after we conquer. We cannot attack him, but attack him."
His heart still refuses to give in. The second is to lead his troops to escape, and it is even more difficult to guard against gathering a crowd to attack. There are hundreds of millions of mortals who also hate us. We cannot kill these mortals wantonly, so as not to cause more killings!"
"Nie Hai, what do you think?" Ku Deng asked the young monk Nie Hai who had been sitting silently.
"Head Abbot, Nie Hai actually does not agree with the strategy of moving south. Although Kyushu is huge, it is only a small corner compared to the world. Before the great road, Nie Hai would rather have the great road. Only with the great road can we save the suffering of all sentient beings! If you must say this,
What Senior Brother Nie Shi said about the pros and cons of moving south is indeed the truth."
"Well, good! Niehai, we are not discussing the issue of whether to go south or not. Since you think so, then the solution to this problem is what Wuchen just said - lay disciples, as long as the world's monks and all mortals believe in
If I, the Buddha, can be called a lay disciple, I will also be considered a member of the Buddha. In this way, I can avoid killings and stabilize the people's hearts. Why not do it?!"
Abbot Ku Deng said, glancing at Ku Hui on the high platform, and then at the other dignitaries attending the meeting.
"Amitabha, you are so good! Lay disciples are good, very good!" Old monk Kugui suddenly showed a look of surprise, patted the jade table, stood up, and then said with a smile: "Friend Wuchen, you are a lay disciple.
Ancestor Dong is very much in line with my wishes. Let’s do this. We will have a detailed discussion under Dongzu Buddha later. What do you think?”
"Hehehe, no problem, it's just that the monk's time is limited and he can't sit here for twenty years!"
"Oh? Amitabha, I can't sit still for twenty years. Don't worry, I won't delay your Taoist companion, day lily or anything!" Old monk Kugui said with a smile, and his figure blurred for a while, and slowly disappeared from everyone's eyes.
※※
After receiving an approving look from Abbot Kudeng, Tianjiu happily carried a broken broom and walked towards Dongzu Buddha.
As soon as I wandered up to the top of the mountain, an extremely depressing aura enveloped my whole body, and the entire Dongzu Buddha also made a buzzing sound.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Tianjiu's consciousness swept away, and his mouth twitched.
Under the Dongzu Buddha, a monk and a woman are standing facing each other. The monk is of course the old monk Kugui. The woman is covered in white gauze and has a fluttering yellow skirt. She is Princess Peony who has been entangled with Tianjiu.
Thousands of feet away, the old monk Kugui looked at the woman in the yellow skirt with an extremely serious expression. The hint of coercion emitted by the other party was extremely powerful, even much more powerful than his peak cultivation in the late Nascent Soul stage.
"Amitabha! The female donor is among the dragons and phoenixes. In this world, I can't think of anyone else who is sacred and has such a cultivation level. Are you...?"
"Hey! Miss Peony, are you here to see me?!" Tianjiu suddenly shouted and greeted from a distance.
"Humph! Dead monk, you finally showed up! I thought you ran away?" Princess Peony snorted coldly, her face became much more relaxed as she watched Tianjiu running towards her.
"Oh my! Look at my surname. Today I have to attend the Zen teaching meeting of the old monk. I forgot that Miss Peony still has an appointment with the boy. It's my fault! It's all my fault! I can't accompany the girl anymore!
Hahaha!"
"You have a date...? Are you dating him?" Old Monk Kugui's eyes almost dropped to the ground, and he swallowed hard.
"What? Isn't it possible? Do I need your monk's permission to date anyone?" Princess Peony said coldly.
"Ah? OK, OK! As long as the fairy is not looking for the old man, you can do whatever you want. I will resign! You can do it yourself!" Old Monk Kugui was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed, and he quickly bowed and saluted, and was about to
Pull back.
"Hey, hey, hey! Old monk, you can't leave! We also have an appointment! She and I won't be delayed for a long time. I also want to ask you about your experience in using the designated peak curse?!" Tianjiu waved.
road.
The old monk Kugui bared his teeth and said in a fierce voice: "Humph, damn boy, you have such a powerful person covering you, why do you want to learn the Peak Designation Spell? She just blows the wind from the pillow, and it will be enough for you for thousands of years! Tens of millions of dollars
Don't let go, she is a towering tree!"
After the old monk finished transmitting the message, his body suddenly flashed and turned into a stream of light, fleeing to the west.
"Hey, hey, hey! Old monk, she is not the big tree you imagined, but it can crush people to death!" Tianjiu shouted to the west with a sore tooth.
"What big and small trees? Damn monk, how long are you going to fool me? My patience has its limits. If I offend this princess, I will demolish the entire Famen Temple!" Princess Peony shouted angrily.
"Princess Peony, Grandma Peony, I really can't bring out your colorful peonies now. Even if you tear down all the nine states, the flowers may not come out. Why can't you wait patiently?" Tianjiu
Hands over again and again.
"Humph, how can you expect me to be patient? You sneaked into the temple, and I searched for most of an hour before I found you here."
"Oh! So that's what you did for it. Alas, it really happened suddenly. Today I was promoted to a higher level. Now I have been promoted to a sweeping novice under Dongzu Buddha. Dongzu Buddha, do you know? Well, this is it. From now on, I will
Just hang out here, if you want to find me, just come here!"
"You've been upgraded, but you're still a sweeper. It's really ridiculous!" Princess Peony rolled her eyes at Tianjiu, showing disdain.
"There is no way. We don't have a big tree or a crystal mountain, so we can only climb up step by step. Hey, Princess Peony, how about you be my big tree? I know you are powerful..."
"Dream! Tianjiu, I, Peony, will never be threatened by you and succumb to you. If that happens, I will not hesitate to die with you!"
Princess Peony said, with a murderous light in her eyes.
"Yes, yes! I was just joking. Since you even know my real name, it seems that you have also talked to Kou Yan. This girl is still sensible and did not come to see me, otherwise, you will
It's too bad, I might not give you the peonies back!"
"Do you really hate her so much? How about I kill her and extract her soul and soul to relieve your hatred?" Princess Peony sneered.
"Alas, although I am humble, I still have a temper. No one will feel comfortable being abandoned by someone at a critical moment of life and death. You can do whatever you want with her, but I don't dare to be interested in anything about her now. Alas,
Having said that, you must not make yourself self-defeating. I am an upright monk now, and the most annoying thing is killing innocent people. If I find that colorful peony one day, urinate on it, carve a word or something,
It’s going to be miserable for you!”
"You...you...you! You are cruel!"
Princess Peony was trembling with anger, waved her skirt sleeves, and was about to leave.
