Chapter Seventy-Two Those Things About the Monk Ten
The three brothers kept climbing up the long steps, talking and laughing among themselves, ignoring the rollicking eyes and bad words from others. Along the way, they also saw many beauties offering incense and asking for fortune-telling, but they did not do so just to climb the steps.
Stop.
And just when they were halfway up the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, two monks walked down from the top of the mountain gate and walked straight towards the three brothers.
"Amitabha, you are so good, hello to you three donors." One of the two monks was fat and the other was thin, and the fat one said.
The three of them had to stop, and they didn't have any ill intentions toward this Buddhist man. They returned the greeting: "Omi Hair, hello, Master."
"Three donors, this is a pure place for Buddhism. Isn't it a bit immoral for you to walk so arrogantly...together on these long steps? Although our Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is not a famous temple, it still has some reputation. Please give me three thanks.
It’s better if you give me a seat and don’t get carried away like this.” Although the fat monk spoke in a polite tone, the three of them understood what he meant: He was issuing an eviction order!
After hearing this, Li Yuxia couldn't help but said politely: "Master, the three of us brothers walked up this step just to ask for a good sign, and we have no intention of disturbing the purity of Buddhism. As for the onlookers, they just don't understand the situation.
Please forgive me, Lord Buddha."
The fat monk couldn't help frowning when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. However, the thin monk behind him spoke: "You three, what my senior brother just said may not be straightforward enough, so I will tell you
Let’s make it clear! It’s not impossible for you to walk up these long steps, but it’s a bit special for you guys to walk together! So, you have to pay for this sesame oil...” As he said that, the thin monk rubbed his fingers
Rubbing it back and forth, making gestures like asking for money.
All three of them suddenly frowned: How could this so-called pure place of Buddhism be so tacky? It turns out that their so-called maintenance of Buddhist purity was just a pretense to collect money for scented oil!
Although he was a little unhappy, but out of the thought of doing more than doing less, Li Yuxia still reached for the money bag, ready to donate some sesame oil money. However, Zheng Nan reached out to stop him and said: "These two masters,
I wonder if you collect money for scented oil like this on your own initiative or on the initiative of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple?"
The two monks looked at each other, and the thin monk said: "Where do so many problems come from? Anyway, we are all monks, and we are all from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. Who are you not giving to? There are only a few Buddhas in the sky, and there are only a few Buddhas in the sky.
Don’t they all bless you the same way?”
Hearing what the other party said, Zheng Nan immediately understood: These two monks were probably not serious disciples of Wanfo Temple, but were here specifically to make money!
"I'm sorry, you two. It's not that we won't give you the sesame oil money. When we get to the top of the mountain, we will naturally ask for signatures and put the sesame oil money into the merit box. But now...we have borrowed it!" With that, Zheng Nan took the lead.
The two monks squeezed between them and ignored them. Wei Suonan and Li Yuxia also followed, and gave the two monks a fierce look.
"Wait a minute!" When the two monks saw the three of them about to leave, they shouted sharply. "Hmph! I am so angry and say this to you, but you are so shameless! Let me tell you, today we will pay you for the sesame oil money.
It's the money for climbing the long steps. If you ask for a fortune to pray to Buddha later, you will have to pay for it later! We don't care whether you pay it later or who you give it to, but now, you must give it to us!
Otherwise...there’s no way you can take another step forward!”
As he said that, the two monks, one fat and one thin, came to the three of them again, and blocked the way with their arms crossed.
Now Wei Suonan was the first to quit: "You damn stinky bald donkey! It's none of your business that our brothers are walking on our long steps. Buddhists often say that even a demon can lay down his butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately."
', We haven't done anything bad in our daily life, so why can't we climb the Jiujiu steps? You have to pay for climbing a step, what kind of rule is this!"
"That's right, I have stayed in Longmen County for more than ten years, but I have never heard that you have to pay for climbing the steps!" Li Yuxia also said angrily.
The thin monk immediately looked arrogant: "Humph, our Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple's long steps are famous all over the world. I don't know how many people rush to come and go every day! Even if we charge money, we can guarantee that the people who come will be happy.
!If that’s the case, why don’t we charge money?”
Wei Suonan and Li Yuxia were still about to argue, but Zheng Nan stretched out his hand to stop the two of them and said: "With such scum, what's the point of wasting words? With such greed for money, they have long insulted the reputation of the monks.
Come on! We might as well teach them a lesson for the Buddha, which can be regarded as helping the Buddhas clean up their houses!"
As he spoke, Zheng Nan seemed to move slightly, but he came to the two monks with miraculous skills!
"Pah! Pah!"
Two crisp sounds rang out, and then the bodies of the two monks were suddenly spun in circles, like tops being whipped! Then, they were seen one on the left and one on the right, and there was obviously an extra one on the beam.
The red mark!
"Hmph, you scum, you deserve it!" Li Yuxia and Wei Suonan said, and each of them kicked down a monk to vent their anger. After being kicked twice by Wei and Li, the two monks were like kites with their strings cut off.
Flying up nearly ten steps.
Only then did the two monks realize that they had met a ruthless person. Regardless of the pain on their buttocks, they got up straight. The thin monk said "just wait" and they both ran towards the main temple on the mountain.
go.
"Bah, such a scum should be a monk. It is simply a tragedy for the Buddha! No matter how merciful the Buddha is, he should not have such servants and followers!"
"Forget it, let's not let this guy affect our mood. Brother Li and Brother Wei, let's continue climbing the steps to see the beauties!"
"Hey, okay! Keep climbing the steps to see the beauties..." The three of them resumed their joking and continued climbing towards the top of the mountain.
After a while, when the three of them were about to reach the temple gate, they couldn't help but stop. They saw dozens of yellow-robed monks walking straight out of the temple on the top of the mountain, and each of these yellow-robed monks were holding wooden sticks.
He was wearing a stick, and the clothes he wore were all those of a monk, and even his expression had the ruthlessness and heroism of a martial arts practitioner.
Dozens of yellow-robed monks filed out and surrounded the three of them! With their spears, wooden sticks were aimed at Zheng Nan and the other three. Then, two monks finally appeared from behind the dozens of monks.
The figures, one fat and one thin, were none other than the monk who had just forcibly collected the money for the sesame oil!
"Huh huh huh," the thin monk chuckled evilly, his mouth even more sharp than that of a monkey. How could he show any compassion for a monk? "The monks obeyed the order. These three people went to Wanfo Temple without permission to cause trouble. They violated our rules. Give me a stick."
Get off the mountain!"
All the monks shouted in unison: "Yes!"
Watching, dozens of monks holding wooden sticks were about to hit Zheng Nan and the three of them randomly!
"Ignorant bald donkey, you are really looking for death!" Zheng Nan yelled angrily. He didn't pay attention to these so-called warrior monks at all.
I saw Zheng Nan raising his hand casually, and more than a dozen large rocks flew from the hillside not far away! As if they had listened to his call, the rocks quickly hit the monks coming around!
"Ah! Run!"
"It's sorcery! These three people are monsters!"
How had the monks seen such a powerful move before? They were all frightened to death. No one dared to rush forward, and they all fled into the temple.
"Hey, if others can leave, can you two leave too?" Wei Suonan chuckled, but his body suddenly flashed to another place, right in front of the two monks, one fat and one thin.
The two thieves and monks suddenly trembled with fear: "Heroes, spare your life! Our dog's eyes cannot see Mount Tai, heroes, please don't argue with the little monk!"
"Humph, little monk? With your appearance, are you worthy of calling yourself a monk?"
"Yes, yes, what the hero said is that if the hero lets us go, we will immediately return to secular life and never call ourselves monks again!" The thin monk said in a panic with a sneer on his face.
"Bah! The reason why I haven't killed you yet is because today is the Black Moon Festival and this is a pure place for Buddhism! But seeing that you are so shameless and despicable, I don't need to give any face to Buddha!" Wei Suonan
As he said that, he raised his hand and slapped the thin monk on the head!
"stop!"
At this moment, a loud shout rang out, and then a ray of yellow light shot out towards Wei Suonan so fast that Wei Suonan had to temporarily give up killing the thin monk and instead resist the yellow light!
"Earth realm master!" Zheng, Wei, and Li exclaimed at the same time. They didn't expect there to be an earth realm master here.
"Amitabha, please be merciful to the three benefactors. This is the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. How can we kill people at will in a pure place of Buddhism?" After the yellow light was emitted, the ground master who took action did not take action again, but attacked Zheng Nan and the others.
A Buddhist ceremony. Only then did the three of them see each other's true face in Lushan. This man was of course a monk, middle-aged and kind, and judging from his cassock, he should be the abbot of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
"Hmph, you monks are only allowed to beat people, but we pilgrims are not allowed to kill monks? What kind of bullshit Buddhist pure place are you talking about?" Zheng Nan sneered and looked at the abbot of this place coldly.
"Haha, don't worry, donor. These two people have violated the temple rules. I will deal with them later. I also ask the donor to return these two people to our temple."
Zheng Nan raised his eyebrows, hesitant about the so-called temple rules mentioned by the abbot: "Oh? I dare to ask the abbot, how should these two people be dealt with according to your temple rules? If your treatment does not satisfy me, I will
I need to help you change the rules!"
"Well...these are private matters within our temple, so don't ask any more questions..."
Seeing the abbot's hesitation in answering, Zheng Nan immediately understood what he meant: Where are the temple regulations? He just wants to keep these two people! Huh, in this case, I have to challenge you!
"Haha, since your so-called disposal is your private matter, I won't interfere anymore!" Zheng Nan said with a smile, and the expressions of the monks also softened a little with Zheng Nan's words, but Zheng Nan was
Then he said: "But I have no control over the rules of your temple. I, Zheng Nan, have my own rules for doing things! These two guys have violated my rules, so I have to act according to my own rules, and you have no control! Brother Wei
Brother Li, tell them my rules, Zheng Nan!"
Wei Suonan and Li Yuxia immediately understood what Zheng Nan meant and echoed: "Hey, Brother Zheng's rules are very simple. Anyone who offends us will have to pay a price... As for this price..."
"Well, for ordinary people in the market, this price is just an arm and a leg. But seeing as you are monks, you have to use your arms and legs to beg for food. Anyway, you monks have nothing to ask for.
Just cut off the second brother of these two boys!" Wei Suonan said, turning his palm into a knife and turning the thin monk under his hand into a eunuch!
"Spare your life!" The thin monk was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and burst into tears, but Wei Suonan ignored him and continued to attack!
"Help, abbot, help me!" The thin monk was really frightened. Not only did he burst into tears, but he also gushed out, which made everyone extremely sick. Even Wei Suonan had to stop using his knife. The thin monk continued to shout.
Said: "Abbott, you must save me! You must save me! I am your only flesh and blood. If I am cut off from my descendants, you will have no future employment..."
The words were astonishing, and everyone present was shocked by what the thin monk said!
