The World of Martial Arts

Chapter 191
Xu Zhengping really ignored them and came to the Daxiong Hall alone.

Here, a group of sutra chanting monks were meditating in front of the Buddha statue. Xu Zhengping stood by the door and listened, feeling a sense of tranquility, and the demon in his heart was suppressed a lot again.

A novice came to his side and said kindly: "Amitabha, is this layman here to offer incense and pay homage to the Buddha?"

Xu Zhengping said: "I'm here to ask for something that can suppress people's evil thoughts."

The novice said with a smile: "There are too many temples in that temple. Because the temple is very popular, the abbot specially opened a lot of Buddhist utensils for many believers. Laymen can go with the monks to have a look."

Xu Zhengping was noncommittal, and followed the novice monk to a Buddhist hall. There was a row of cabinets in front of the Buddhist hall, and there were hundreds of Buddhist utensils.

It is very similar to those tourist attractions and souvenirs placed in Buddhist temples in previous lives.

Xu Zhengping smiled knowingly, and took a casual look. Most of the things here were Buddhist beads, wooden fish, and ring tools.

According to Nasa Mi, all of them were consecrated by the abbot.

Xu Zhengping was disdainful in his heart, so he walked around casually and came to a corner.

The things placed in the cabinets here seem to be relatively old, and it seems that no one has bought them for a long time.

Maybe because the guy is not only ugly, but also damaged, so no one cares about it, but this group of monks still sell it here.

Xu Zhengping shook his head slightly, and was about to leave, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of a string of blackwood sandalwood beads placed in the corner. What's interesting is that there are nine beads in total, each of which is engraved with the nine-character mantra that all fighters march forward in formation.

This is the nine-character mantra used to exorcise evil spirits, which is rarely seen in general.

Xu Zhengping then asked: "Is this string of beads consecrated by the abbot?"

The novice obviously didn't recognize the string of beads, and felt slightly stunned, but still said firmly: "Every item here has been consecrated by the abbot, and it is guaranteed to have the power of Buddhist vows, so you can pray for blessings and avoid disasters, layman..."

Xu Zhengping didn't bother to wait for him to say some sales terms, and said directly, "How much?"

The novice's eyes lit up, his eyes rolled, and he said: "The layman knows that although my Buddhist school doesn't value worldly money, but..."

"Stop talking nonsense, how much is it?"

The novice hesitated, gritted his teeth, and said, "50 taels of silver!"

Xu Zhengping looked him up and down, but he saw that the novice was breaking out in cold sweat, as if a murderous intent had poured him from head to toe, as if he had been submerged in icy water.

He immediately changed his words and said, "Oh, I misremembered it. This is the price of the consecrated Maitreya Jade Buddha next to me. This string of beads is only ten taels of silver..."

Xu Zhengping casually put down an ingot of silver and put the string of blackwood sandalwood beads on his hands, immediately feeling a sense of peace and tranquility penetrating his soul.

The evil thoughts boiling in his heart were also suppressed, and he no longer had such a strong urge to kill.

Xu Zhengping looked at the bead in his hand, it had traces of being coiled frequently, so it should be an ancient thing.

The previous owner was most likely an eminent monk who practiced Buddhism on weekdays, so he left behind a strong Buddhist true meaning, which was about to be able to suppress the evil thoughts in his heart.

Xu Zhengping looked at the string of beads, then took them off and put them in his bag.

Without carrying it close to the body, a hostility gradually rose uncontrollably.

He frowned slightly at this situation, and put on the prayer beads again.

Xindao: When I was full of demonic thoughts before, I thought it didn't matter, as long as I was strong enough, but if a person can't suppress all kinds of desires by himself, it will be difficult to climb to the top after all.

It seems that my martial arts practice has reached a certain bottleneck. This bottleneck does not refer to the realm of cultivation, but the state of mind of martial arts.

Just like practicing Shaolin martial arts, after reaching a certain level, if the Dharma does not follow diligently, you will involuntarily become obsessed and lose yourself.

Looking back, I have to find a way to see how to solve this problem. I don't want to be a living Bodhisattva, let alone a puppet controlled by the desire to kill.

For the time being, this string of beads can be used to suppress the demon nature, and it will be liberated at critical times to deal with powerful enemies.

After thinking about it, he took a look at Tianming Temple and felt that it was too vulgar. There must not be any eminent monks, so he wanted to leave the mountain.

But I was hungry, so I went to find some vegetarian food to eat first.

He didn't ask for directions either, and while wandering around the temple, he was looking for a place where the back kitchen could buy vegetarian food.

Inadvertently, turned into a trail.

On the contrary, Xu Zhengping became more interested, since there is nothing to delay, let's take a stroll.

Following the path, one came to a side door. After entering, the inside was very quiet, not as lively as the front hall. Because it was very quiet, some sounds were very clear.

"My family is also considered a wealthy family, but in the past ten years, I have not given birth to a son or a daughter with my wife and concubines.

The relatives in the family have been eyeing my family's property, and even the elder brother once said that if he really has no son, he will adopt his own son to me.

At that time, the family business I earned through hard work for half my life, wouldn't it be in vain to make my brother cheaper.

Hearing that your monastery is successful in praying for a son, I am willing to offer 500 taels of incense and fire silver. I only hope that the abbot can display the Dharma so that my wife can give birth to a son for me, so as to avoid the coveting of those relatives. "

When Xu Zhengping heard this voice, he immediately recognized that it was the male head of the family he rescued yesterday.

Secretly said: This is really asking for a lot of money, but you, including your wife and concubine, have not been able to give birth to children for ten years.

I'm afraid it's not their problem, but your problem. It's better to adopt an infant child and go home to raise it. Why can't you think about it so much.

Xu Zhengping used to be a monk, so he knew very well what some monasteries did to achieve success in seeking children. This was already a well-known secret in the industry.

As colleagues, as long as you don't meet on the spot, you won't deliberately come to the door to expose it. Anyway, it's a matter of one willing to fight and one willing to suffer.

The abbot sighed and said kindly: "Since the almsgiver is so sincere, I will try my best to impart Buddhist teachings to you and Mrs. You, and you will surely achieve something after you return."

The hostess was very grateful, and then the abbot said: "This method requires the donor and your wife to separate, and each worship a Bodhisattva for a full day and a night. As long as you pray sincerely, the Buddha will definitely respond."

As he said that, he arranged for the monks to take the man to the Buddhist hall in the east. Surrounded by a group of monks, he chanted scriptures and paid homage to the Buddha. He was extremely devout.

His wife was taken into the Buddhist hall to the west, where she worshiped the Son-Song Guanyin, but only two elderly monks accompanied her in prayer.

Misty smoke rose from the censer in front of Avalokitesvara, enveloping the three of them.

A quarter of an hour later, the lady did not know whether she was exhausted or not, and fell asleep in front of the Guanyin statue.

Immediately afterwards, the two old monks stood up and exited the Buddhist hall, closed the doors and windows, and it was dark and gloomy inside.

After a while, four extremely burly monks came in, all of them topless.

After they entered, they laid the prostrate lady flat on the futon on the ground and began to undress her, but the lady still had her eyes closed and didn't know anything about it.

The four strong monks surrounded her, facing the naked lady, they were sweat dripping with honesty.
