Chapter three hundred and eighteen, monks also have rivers and lakes
Chapter 318: Monk also has a world
Wang Youfo did not expect You Fang to let him go so easily. Monk Xinqing stood aside and said nothing. He touched his head and was stunned for a long time, then bowed deeply and left. Mr. Rand still had instructions, so hurry up.
Call dad.
Watching his figure disappear on the mountain road in the distance, You Fang turned around and asked Xinqing: "Master, this person has ruined your hard work. I just let him go. Why don't you stop him? At least let him go."
Do you have an explanation?"
Xinqing begged for alms and asked: "What do you want to explain? I asked the donor for advice today just to clear up the doubts that I had been having for half a month. Now the truth has finally come to light. Thank you to the donor! As for the king who left the Buddha, what can the poor monk ask him to pay for it? It is better to ferry a whole family than to ferry one person.
, I would like to thank Mr. Rand for the arrangement! Although I am a monk, I know the world." Having said this, the monk already smiled and even called You Fang Mr. Rand, with a slightly teasing tone.
.
You Fang also laughed and asked something seemingly irrelevant: "Master, what is your age this year?"
Xinqing: "Nine out of thirty."
You Fang: "I really can't tell, Master Xinqing, you are also a *** lake."
Xinqing replied unhurriedly: "The enlightenment of the Buddha is the great wisdom of entering and exiting the world. The Mingwang Bodhisattva may have angry or compassionate feelings, but no one is stupid? Be kind but not forgiving, compassionate but not giving up, that's how it works.
It can travel through all the world. I thank you for your help today, and I am even more grateful to the donor for taking advantage of the situation."
You Fang waved his hand: "It's too polite to mention this word of thanks. You said that Red Lotus and White Lotus Root are from the same family, so the Buddhist Fengmen is also from the same family. Master performed this act of great compassion. Since I have met him, how can I not help him to the end?
Sending the Buddha to the West? If you are tired from the past few days, take a good rest and go to the Qiangong Sect the day after tomorrow to create a good cause."
Xin Qing also waved his hand and said: "I have long known that there is a secret art of Feng Shui in the world, and there is a way to pass it down and practice it. It seems that Rand Xian has quite a lot of status and prestige among them. But you mentioned the word "Buddhism" too strongly, I monk.
He's just a walking monk."
You Fang was still laughing: "Monks and nuns all over the world belong to the same family, that is, the Buddhist family. But in today's world, I have seen a lot of fat-minded monks. There are very few people like the master who sincerely worship the Buddha. We should form good relationships!"
What are these two people talking about? Naturally, You Fang will not embarrass Wang Youfo. His purpose is to deal with the entire Leading Gong Sect. This is just an opportunity. Then he can do another thing, which is to use the Leading Gong Sect gang.
Xinqing completed the repair of the earth's veins. It was too difficult for the monk to repair the earth's spiritual axis alone. Not to mention the cost, it also took a very long time. If someone like Wang Youfo accidentally came to cause trouble, all the previous efforts would be wasted. Such a master of Buddhism
, why not form a good relationship?
Monk Xinqing is by no means pedantic and is very smart. Through the conversation just now, he has learned that Wang Youfo comes from a Feng Shui secret practice sect called the Lian Gong Sect, and You Fang has a very high status in the world. After You Fang frightened him, it was easy.
After letting Wang Youfo go and telling him what happened here, Xinqing had already guessed the intention.
Xinqing did not dwell on this topic too much, and continued with a peaceful expression: "I just saw that the formation set up by Mr. Rand is extremely magical. If it is convenient, I would like to ask for advice."
You Fang replied very politely: "I don't dare to ask for advice. It is a rare opportunity to confirm each other with an expert like the master. I also want to ask you about the method of repairing the earth's veins... This is not a place suitable for long talks. We
Let’s go outside the mountains.”
The two of them also left this place. When they were walking through the mountains and fields, You Fang looked at Xin Qing's patched monk's robes, blinked his eyes and looked a little nervous, and suddenly asked: "Master, I know that you keep the precepts strictly, but
You don’t need to put so many patches on your clothes, right? It’s like deliberately trying to look like it to others.”
Xinqing was not angry, and replied as he walked: "Whether there are patches on the clothes or not, in today's era, is no longer a difference in asceticism, it is really for people to see! But it doesn't matter whether you look at it or not, as a poor monk practices like this, it is better to have
There is no good, at least good men and good women in the world can see it. The true meaning of the Buddha's Dharma cannot be seen, but the solemnity can be seen, and it is just a means to save people."
The traveler asked relentlessly: "I have heard of your Da Ci Xing Temple, where you keep the precepts, practice pure cultivation, and beg for alms. This is extremely rare in today's materialistic world. There are also a lot of publicity on the Internet, including pictures and videos.
They are all over the world. I want to ask, who took those photos and videos? When you line up to beg for alms and go out for a walk, is there always someone following you?"
Xinqing: "Layers and believers, *** are with us."
You Fang nodded: "Oh, I understand. He is driving a convertible BMW with a camera, following the monks of your temple to make offerings, and specifically spreading the scene of ascetic purification to all directions! ... There is no such thing in other big temples.
Reputation and popularity.”
Xinqing almost didn't let him amuse him, and replied as calmly as possible: "This is also a cheap method. Buddhism is in the world, and it can also use the methods of the world. It is better to show people the foundation of pure cultivation than to show people the appearance of chaos, Lan
Mr. De, what do you think?"
You Fang raised his thumb and said: "Master, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to laugh at you! Jianghu art pays equal attention to the sharp and the inner, so that you can be like a fish in the water. Master, your way of pure cultivation and the threshold of the Jianghu are already integrated with the sharp and the inner.
You really practice like this, I admire you!"
…
The next day, still near Zuyue Temple in Qianduo Lotus Mountain, You Fang and Xin Qing talked about each other's practice experiences. It was not all about Buddhism or Feng Shui, but mainly about sensing the earth's energy, how to set up formations and shift them, and turn evil spirits into pivots.
Wait. They are talking here. In the distance, where the outer hall of Qiangong Sect is located in Xiuyan County, several elders are also having a meeting to recruit important deacons and disciples.
Wang Youfo called his father in the middle of the night. At that time, Wang Xunjie, the head of the Qiangong Sect, was still in the sect's dojo. He took a logging tractor out of the mountain overnight, accompanied by Shi Wenqing, the elder of the sect, who transferred to an off-road jeep outside the mountain. In the morning
We rushed to Xiuyan County.
The precept-holding elder Xiao Mo is here in Xiuyan, the bonding elder Su Moer is also here, and the top leaders of the Ling Gong Sect are gathered together.
The organizational structure of the Qiangong Sect has its own characteristics. It is very similar to the Jiuxing Sect. It is not the previous Jiuxing Sect, but the Jiuxing Sect after being "restructured" by You Fang and Yiqing layman Chu Fu. Although it is also divided into inner hall and outer hall.
However, there are no outer hall elders. The inner hall elder Su Moer takes charge of the affairs of the outer hall. The so-called outer hall is actually a branch of the inner hall.
Since the sect's monastery of the Liang Gong Sect is located deep in the mountains of Xing'an Mountains, the mountains are even blocked by heavy snow for several months a year, making transportation very inconvenient. Therefore, all communications with various sects and contacts with the outside world are basically done in Xiuyan County.
Processing. You Fang said he paid homage to the mountain and came to Xiuyan instead of the sect dojo. He also understood the situation very well. His identity was special and the matters involved were special, so the senior officials of the Qian Gong Sect came to greet him.
They were discussing matters when they heard Xiao Mo say: "Mr. Rand passed on astronomy. Everyone knew that he left it to the police after he captured it. However, there was no news about the embarrassing past in my family. This is my generation."
The unfinished work was abandoned halfway, but if Zhang Renhe had been captured as soon as possible, there would be no need for the subsequent disasters!"
Wang Xujie: "Mr. Rand wants to pay homage to the mountain. In fact, I should wait to visit him. He came first and will definitely explain the matter in private. If he says thank you, how should we respond?"
Su Mo'er: "Mr. Rand only needs to say a word of thanks, and we really have to thank this young senior, but it's hard to weigh the importance of gratitude."
Shi Wenqing muttered: "Jiuxing, Xiaosha, Xunluan, and all the sects in Songhe Valley respect Mr. Rand as their elder. Can we also..."
Wang Xujie smiled bitterly and said: "Do you think I don't want to? With Mr. Rand's current prestige in the world, it is actually good for us to become an elder of the Qiangong Sect! But we have no excuse to propose, and Mr. Rand has no reason to agree.
He does not lack this status, so if we invite him for no reason, it seems like he is trying to get along, but our thanks must not lack sincerity."
This makes sense. Melander was instrumental in saving the Jiuxing Sect, and was helpful to the Xunluan Sect in reorganizing the sect. He avenged the death of the former leader of Songhe Valley and recovered the leader’s token.
, resolving the crisis of annihilation of the Xiaosha Sect due to internal and external troubles. These are great favors that are almost impossible to repay, and are closely linked to the rise and fall of the sect. Therefore, these sects respect him as their enshrined elder, and Melander cannot refuse.
But Mr. Rand does not have such a deep friendship with the Qiangong Faction. The Qiangong Faction just owes him a favor. There are many benefits to building a good relationship with such an important person. Expressing gratitude is a good opportunity, but it cannot be far-fetched.
The other party couldn't accept it, and they didn't lack the status of an elder who worshiped outside the sect.
At this time, Wang Youfo, who was standing behind Wang Xujie, was a little anxious: "Uncles, have you forgotten about me? I offended Mr. Rand last night. I was so frightened that I only said a few words, and he let me go.
I came back to say hello and said that I wanted to pay homage to the mountain. I think I not only need to thank you, but also apologize, right? Master Xinqing is his friend. It is said that when we were in Hongbin Industrial Park, he and Qianbei Senior captured Dioban.
The faction rebelled against Li Dongping."
Wang Xunjie looked at his son and wanted to laugh, but he resisted and shouted with a straight face: "What a good thing you did! I am still friends with Abbot Miaozai of Dacixing Temple. Even your name was given by someone, but now you are related to Daci
The eminent monks at the monastery are causing trouble."
Wang Youfo stepped aside half a step: "What I did was wrong, but it was also unintentional. Mr. Rand and Master Xinqing didn't ask me to compensate. In fact, I really want to compensate."
Shi Wenqing smiled: "Half and a half, what Mr. Rand said at the time was right. You were indeed a little too messy. It was just a day or two. Didn't you find that you were making trouble for half a month? You should be punished!... But Lan
It’s not like Mr. De can punish you directly, so he asked you to come back and tell us about it. He will come to visit you tomorrow just to see how we elders teach you a lesson."
Wang Youfo: "Ah, how do you want to deal with me?"
Xiao Mo glanced at him: "According to the sect's rules, there seems to be nothing to deal with. Mr. Rand gave you a face and also gave the Leading Gong Sect a face. We will try our best to compensate Master Xinqing."
Wang Xunjie's face darkened and he said: "Why is it difficult to deal with it? One of the five precepts of the Fengmen Earth Master is not to destroy the spiritual hub!"
Wang Youfo: "Dad, I don't have a broken spiritual pivot. I didn't dig that hole."
Wang Xunjie scolded: "I know you didn't dig it! But when the eminent monk repaired the earth's spiritual core, you obviously felt something, and you continued to make trouble for half a month. Wasn't the repaired spiritual core ruined by you? Even if it was unintentional,
It's a mistake, but it's also a violation of the precepts! Besides, how can you prove that you said you were unintentional, and how can others believe it?"
When Wang Youfo heard this, his face turned a little pale. Su Moer waved his hand and said: "Uncle Master, please stop scaring me. Mr. Rand made it clear that he will come to worship the mountain with Master Xinqing. By then,
You can deal with it as you want. Don’t worry too much, the senior people won’t make things difficult for you, but you have to be mentally prepared for the hardships you should endure.”
Xiao Mo added at the side: "I offended Mr. Rand by mistake, but it's not entirely a bad thing. I can take this opportunity to make good friends. It is indeed my disciple of the Qiangong Sect who made a mistake. I sincerely apologize and show my sincerity."
Well. I heard that the eminent monk's method of repairing the earth's veins was very good, at least he had the power of spiritual thoughts, and his great compassion was really admirable. According to the method he used, the Hemo jade seeds refined by my Lian Gong Sect may be better than
His bodhi beads are more suitable, don’t wait for others to speak, we should prepare them ourselves first.”
Wang Xunjie thought for a while and said: "Just fill the monk's bowl with river mill jade seeds. I'm afraid my personal possessions are still lacking, so I'll just borrow some from you fellow juniors...Half and half, these will all be accounted for in your account in the future.
superior!"
Shi Wenqing smiled and said: "What are you borrowing? They are probably our juniors, so we can all help him out together... Let's talk about this matter again. If we don't interrupt, we haven't finished discussing the business yet."
Su Mo'er blinked his eyes and said: "Mr. Rand sent a letter to Jianghu to arrest the traitorous Zhang Renhe of our sect, and stopped half of his past actions and tried to persuade him in good faith. This is a great favor. We both apologize and thank you, why not
According to the established practice of Xingfa Sect. I heard that he took out the Dragon Shaking Token last night, and our sect also has the Seal Machine Arrow."
Xiao Mo immediately agreed: "This is a very good idea! Think about the Xingfa sect. A disciple of the sect tried to murder Mr. Rand, but he was found out by Mr. Rand and helped him rectify his sect. The Xingfa sect gave him the Dragon-shaking Order as a gift.
Although Mr. Rand used the Dragon Shaking Order this time to send a message to the world, it was only symbolic. The Xingfa Sect did not suffer at all, but instead gained more connections in the world."
Wang Youfo muttered from the side again: "I didn't murder Mr. Rand, why are you making it more serious by talking about it?"
Xiao Mo explained with a smile: "But you have offended someone, isn't this just an apology? It also shows that although my Qiangong sect has the secret technique of piercing the bow to become evil, it did not guide the disciples to destroy the spiritual hub."
Wang Xunjie hesitated and said: "I am happy to give you the machine arrows, but does this seem like too much gratitude or too deliberate?"
Su Mo'er shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, it's not surprising to be polite to many people. We have nothing to lose, and it will be a good story if it is spread throughout the world. As long as Mr. Rand is not a hypocritical person, he should be able to accept it."
…
The outer hall of the Qiangong Sect is not located in the urban center of Xiuyan Manchuria Autonomous County, but in a large house on the outskirts of the city. The transportation is very convenient. It is right next to the national highway. There are restaurants and hotels opposite, which are also the industries of the Qiangong Sect. Tour
Fang intends to wait a day before coming again, just to let the important figures of the Qian Gong Sect gather together for discussion first. With his status, if he suddenly worships the mountain now, it will easily make the other party confused, so he must say hello in advance.
The Qiangong Sect was obviously ready. You took a taxi from Anshan to Xiuyan and parked directly at the entrance of the courtyard of the outer hall of the Qiangong Sect. As soon as you got off the car, you saw Wang Xujie and others standing in front of the courtyard to greet them.
You Fang recognized Wang Xunjie at a glance. His facial features were very similar to Wang Youfo's. He looked about in his early forties, but his temperament was slightly older and much calmer. There was no mistaking him once he stopped there. He was among the crowd.
He just has the magnanimity of a leader and will not make the same joke as Lu Changlin did.
You Fang and Xinqing got off the car, and Wang Xunjie led the crowd to come forward to greet him. Elder Xiao Mo had already met him in Guangzhou, so he introduced him. Elder Shi Wenqing wore glasses and was very elegant, looking like a well-educated scholar.
On the other hand, Su Mo'er, the familiar elder who was in charge of the affairs of the outer hall, surprised You Fang slightly, and even made his eyes light up.
Su Mo'er is a local, Manchu. She looks like she is less than thirty. She is a gentle temperament and a soft-looking young woman with a mature charm. She is not only responsible for the contacts between the Qiangong Sect and the various factions of Fengmen.
She makes friends and is responsible for managing the business of her subordinates. She plays a role similar to that of a general manager. She is both talented and beautiful. When You Fang came to Xiuyan, she arranged all the reception matters.
The custom among Chinese people when meeting each other is that even monks have to eat first. Since You Fang came with Xin Qing, Su Moer had already inquired about the rules of the monks at Dacixing Temple. They do not eat after lunch and only eat one meal a day, so he had already
A vegetarian table was prepared and the feast was served before noon. The local specialty of Old Elm Tree Tofu Banquet was suitable for monks, and it was also very good for lay people to eat. It was not considered ungrateful.
However, Xinqing did not put away the dishes, but took out three copper bowls and set them up one after another for "Hua Zhai". Su Mo'er wanted to invite him to sit directly at the table, but You Fang waved his hand with a smile, took the lead in picking up a pair of clean chopsticks, and put
A portion of each dish was put into a copper bowl. Seeing this, Su Moer also smiled and then picked up another copper bowl to serve Xin Qing with rice.
When Su Mo'er came to him, Xinqing recited the Buddha's name and automatically stepped back three feet. According to the precepts of Dacihang Temple, when walking, he should stop three feet away from the female lay practitioner. Such precepts seem a bit redundant, why bother?
Is it artificial? But it makes sense to understand it from another angle. Nowadays, there are many flower monks who love to be close to their female relatives, and there is a lot of criticism. The Qing monks uphold this precept and let those who are interested in using it to make use of the topic.
When the food was ready, You Fang pointed to another empty bowl and said to Wang Youfo, who was standing next to him with an uneasy look on his face: "Half and a half, pour some water for the master."
Wang Youfo was also smart at this time. He quickly came over and poured a pot of freshly brewed tea, and said respectfully: "Master, please have a meal!"
Xinqing nodded in thanks and then sat down to eat. You Fang greeted everyone and said, "Master eats what you have, and we eat what we have, each according to his own fate. Fengmen Buddhism, Red Lotus and White Lotus are the same family, there is no need to see anyone outside."
There was no drinking during the banquet. Everyone just ate and did not talk about business. They just talked to each other for a long time. Except for Wang Youfo who always looked at Xinqing cautiously, everyone else spoke politely and naturally. Wang Xujie also specifically asked:
"Thirty years ago when I was traveling in the mountains and rivers, I went to Dacixing Temple to offer incense. I was fortunate enough to have a conversation with the current abbot, Master Miaozai. It was he who gave my son the name "Youfo". May I ask how Master Miaozai is doing?
