Things have changed and people have changed. The Zhike monk in front of the mountain gate of Xiantong Temple has changed from a young novice to a middle-aged greasy bald donkey.
Li Taiping looked at Zhike Monk, and Zhike Monk also looked at Li Taiping. The two looked at each other for a long time, and Zhike Monk was the first to break the silence.
"The two donors went to the temple to burn incense and ask for a son."
Li Taiping was stunned and couldn't help but laugh: "An old friend is here to visit, but Master Xing shouldn't pretend to be stupid."
Ke Xing said suspiciously: "How can the donor say this?"
But I really didn't recognize him. After all, Li Taiping was still a dark-skinned young boy at that time, but now he is a fair-skinned man. The world has changed.
Li Taiping blinked at Ke Xing and said with a smile: "A bald donkey is not a donkey. It is not stubborn. It does not eat grass when chanting sutras..."
After saying a set of words, Ke Xing first had an angry look on his face, then clenched his fists, and finally felt relieved. He knew who the gentleman in front of him was, but the boy had changed, and the old bastard beside him had changed
She became a delicate little girl.
Seeing his availability, he clasped his hands and said, "It turns out to be the little donor."
Li Taiping smiled and said: "I remember, it's good to remember! By the way, Master Kexing has been here for almost ten years, why is he still doing the job of welcoming guests?"
This means that if you don't open the pot, you have to pour salt on people's wounds.
Ke Xing frowned and thought to himself. This kid is still the same bear as before, and he doesn't say a single word that's nice to him.
Who doesn't know how to bully people? I've never been afraid of anyone in this regard, let alone the defeated enemy.
"The little benefactor is still the same person he once was. When he was young, he still had a fourth-level cultivation, but now he is afraid that he will no longer have a first-level cultivation. Everyone's cultivation level is gradually increasing, but the little benefactor has to do the opposite. I admire you, I admire you."
As he said that, Ke Xing glanced at the stunning woman next to Li Taiping. The words "You are blind" were written in her eyes.
I didn't dare to look at it before, but when I looked at it, I suddenly felt that the Buddha nature was unstable. I hurriedly put my hands together and closed my eyes and chanted, "It's good, it's good."
But I grew up in Xiantong Temple, and my martial arts cultivation depends on my talent. There is nothing I can do about it, but when it comes to Buddhism, I am much higher than my brothers.
As a knowledgeable monk, Ke Xing has seen many women over the years. There are cute young girls, charming young ladies, and charming women. In Ke Xing's eyes, these women are nothing more than red and pink skulls and cannot be messed up.
It is half of Buddha nature.
Today, he just took one more look at the enchanting beauty, and he saw thousands of amorous feelings in his heart, and the drum in his chest kept beating. Fortunately, he said "Amitabha", and his mind calmed down.
"Master monk, this little girl doesn't know how to eat people, so how can she be so afraid of me with her forehead like a snake and a scorpion?"
There was a sweet oriole's first call, but the drumming in Ke Xing's chest suddenly started again. Although she didn't look at it, her heart was still full of charm.
"Great monk, great monk, I'm sick."
Mu Pinshan had practiced the Shuangxiu Kung Fu, and was naturally charming. At this time, he was extremely charming, but it was too much for Ke Xing.
Ke Xing opened his eyes unconsciously, with the dark green color that confused all living beings reflected in his pupils, and said a little foolishly.
"The little lady is so beautiful..."
As soon as Ke Xie finished speaking, the charming and delicate look in front of her eyes disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a deep cold air hitting her face. Ke Xing suddenly shivered. It was as if everything just now was just an illusion.
But the beauty in Ke Xing's eyes is like a piece of dark green ice that has been frozen for thousands of years, and the words she spits out seem to be smeared with ice.
"Master Xing's words are frivolous, so don't blame this little girl for punishing you, a perverted monk, for Buddhism."
Ke Xing suddenly realized that this woman was trying to trick him. He couldn't help but said angrily: "How dare you let the demon woman roam the land of Buddhism..." Before the word "wild" came out, Ke Xing was punched in the eye.
Mu Pinshan sneered: "You are the one who was tricked."
But after all these years, he has only been in the sixth level of cultivation. In front of Mu Pinshan, let alone fight back, even if he wanted to ask for help, he would not have the chance to shout out.
I saw a dark green figure, knocking Ke Xing to the ground with one punch, and then punched and kicked him very fiercely.
Ke Xing finally pointed at the blurry figure, weakly cursed "a couple of bitches" and fainted.
Li Taiping hurriedly stopped Mu Pinshan, who was about to step on him, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay. I've already paid back double, and if I fight again, someone will be killed."
Mu Pinshan turned his head and smiled coquettishly, showing his charming look. "Nine Heavenly Flying Fox is not a wasted reputation. If we don't make a big fuss at Xiantong Temple today to vent our anger on the men of my family, wouldn't we ruin our reputation?"
Li Taiping smiled bitterly in his heart. No wonder Jiumei refused to show off her clothes in white before climbing the mountain. It turned out that she had already planned it.
"After all, this is a holy land of Buddhism, so don't go too far."
Mu Pinshan took Li Taiping's arm and said with a sweet smile: "What's wrong? Aren't the six roots of a bald donkey pure? Do you blame me for ruining your spiritual practice?"
Seeing that Li Taiping wanted to persuade him, Mu Pinshan suddenly became serious. "Why don't you climb the mountain?"
Li Taiping nodded hurriedly: "Design, of course. However, when Jiu Mei sees the Buddha, please don't use your charm skills."
Mu Pinshan smiled and said, "I'm not stupid."
The two of them walked up the stone steps, and every time they met monks in the temple, Mu Pinshan would try his best to make those monks dizzy and confused, and the Buddha's mind was in chaos.
But when the two came to the Puzhao Pagoda, their dark green clothes turned into white clothes, and the enchantress turned into a fairy in an instant. The transformation was so fast that the Pharaoh Anzhu, with his bare chest and belly, and his big belly, had to smile bitterly and shake his head.
"What's the trouble for the female donor..."
Suddenly, a voice of compassion came from the tower, resounding throughout the world.
"If one could turn a blind eye to the appearance of the Nine-Heavenly Flying Fox, Buddhism would be able to progress further."
Mu Pinshan's face changed. It seemed that the Buddha knew everything, but he deliberately allowed her to charm the monks in the temple and use it to test the disciples' practice. He couldn't help but curse in his heart, the old bald donkey is nothing.
But I heard the voice of mercy coming from the pagoda again, but this time, only Li Taiping and others could hear it.
"Every cause has its own effect. How can the old monk get the benefits of being a disciple of the Sword Master in vain? Come in."
Li Taiping looked at the pharaoh who was holding him down, but saw the great monk clasping his hands together, smiling slightly, and letting go of the entrance of the pagoda.
Puzhao Pagoda has eight sides and nine floors, and is thirty feet high. There are wooden ladders inside the pagoda, which can be climbed up to overlook the entire Dongting Mountain.
Twenty-nine golden bodies of Buddha are carved on the inner wall of the pagoda. The vastness of their Buddha nature is like the vast ocean, and even Li Taiping was shocked.
Mu Pinshan tugged at the corner of Li Taiping's clothes, frowned and said, "The old monk doesn't plan to convert us here, does he?"
Li Taiping gently squeezed the soft and boneless jade hand and said with a smile: "Buddha is the most sober person in the world, how could he do stupid things? Jiu Mei is too worried."
Mu Pinshan smiled knowingly. "What Dalang said is that my villain's heart can judge the gentleman's heart."
The two of them walked up the stairs, saying something to each other, until they described the saint as a god...
"The two kids are really interesting. They made me, an old monk who is about to die, the most compassionate person in the world. But they are right."
An oil lamp was lit on the top floor of the pagoda, and a middle-aged monk with a face like a crown of jade sat on a futon in the middle. Needless to say, Li Taiping and the other two knew that this was the Buddha who had been famous all over the world for hundreds of years.
Li Taiping and Mu Pinshan bowed and performed the courtesy as juniors. Then the Buddha opened his eyes and looked at them, and saw two futons appearing in front of them.
"Sit down. There aren't that many rules here, old monk."
The two of them sat cross-legged, and Li Taiping smiled and said: "Senior summoned me, I dare not not come, but I don't know..."
The Buddha smiled slightly: "The old monk has been in seclusion in Puzhao Pagoda for a hundred years. His soul traveled to later generations and saw that the fate of the two of you and my Buddhism has been entangled for five hundred years."
Li Taiping believed that the Buddha would never talk nonsense, so he frowned and asked, "I don't know whether it is good or evil."
The Buddha glanced at the two of them with a smile and said: "Dependent origination and annihilation are nothing more than the cycle of cause and effect. Why bother to cling to good and evil? Let go and you will achieve the great road."
Letting go will lead to the great road. Li Taiping thought to himself, this is what the Buddha wanted to say. But what exactly is letting go, and what do he and Jiumei need to let go of...
For Mu Pinshan, the people on the mountain never liked playing riddles, so they didn't pay attention to what the Buddha said at all. However, at this time, the Buddha looked at her and smiled slightly, nodding with satisfaction.
"I just said that Buddhism will not get the benefits of the Nine Heavens Flying Fox in vain, so the old monk will give you a fortune."
Then he looked at Li Taiping and said: "Happiness, anger, sadness, fear, love, evil, desire, seeing through it can make you a saint, letting it go can make you a god. But there is no need to think about it hard. When you really encounter it, you will naturally know it."
."
The Buddha stood up and said with a smile: "Follow me."
The mountain peak opposite Puzhao Pagoda is steep and square, like a stone tablet pressed down from the sky.
At the foot of the mountain, the Buddha pointed at the cliff and said with a smile: "You can see something."
Li Taiping and Mu Pinshan stared at the mountain peak for a long time and shook their heads.
The Buddha smiled and said, "Old monk, let me tell you a little story."
When the First Emperor was patrolling the world, when the boat passed the Dongting, a storm suddenly broke out. The First Emperor was furious, and the emperor dared to make waves while sailing. Where is this? Some ministers returned to Junshan. When the First Emperor heard this, he became even more angry, and the whole world
, I am the only king, so why should the mountain be called the king? Then the criminals were ordered to cut down the trees and split the mountain...
"Second child, look if there are any words on the cliff."
After Li Taiping and Mu Pinshan heard this, they looked carefully and realized that there seemed to be two big characters carved on the cliff. But they couldn't identify what they were.
The Buddha smiled and said: "Eternal seal. This is the seal of the First Emperor. It has the same effect as Fangshan."
"From then on, there was no longer a king in Junshan, and there was Dongting Mountain."
After saying that, the Buddha turned around and looked at Mupin Mountain and said with a smile: "This is the good fortune that the old monk gave you. How much you can understand by climbing up and down the mountain depends on the word fate."
Li Taiping remembered the powerful being in the imperial mausoleum, so he hurriedly said: "Jiu Mei, I will accompany you."
The Buddha turned around and said with a smile: "My little friend, you can't force fate. It's better to follow the old monk and meet his old friend in the Sutra Pavilion."
Li Taiping was still worried, but Mu Pinshan rolled his eyes and said, "I'm afraid I'll run away with someone, so I don't have much confidence in myself."
Li Taiping couldn't get past Mupin Mountain, so he had to warn him numerous times: "Be careful and don't show off!".
Standing under the mountain peak, the man in white clothes suddenly rose up like an agile white fox, climbing up the rock...
