Liaozhai Great Sage

"Amitabha, good is good."

The old monk hurriedly recited the Buddha's name, and then went up to meet him.

However, after a short period of silence, what ushered in was the fanaticism of believers.

"The Bodhisattva really appeared."

For a while, a large number of pilgrims knelt down to the Bodhisattva in front of them, kowtowed, offered incense, and prayed.

Many people didn't understand what was going on, but they just felt that this Bodhisattva was particularly effective, and they all came to pay respects.

Only Fang Shengyu and the Fang family were pale at the moment, trembling with fear, and did not dare to kneel down in front of the Bodhisattva who worshiped every night on weekdays.

The previous events have proved that the misdeeds of the two of them cannot be hidden from the Bodhisattva's eyes, and it is really the Bodhisattva who does not accept his incense.

In the past, chanting scriptures could still make my heart feel at ease, but now Fang Shengyu and his wife feel like thorns on their backs.

Is it difficult to go to the underworld to suffer after death?

As the son said, Bodhisattvas will not protect people like themselves.

Thinking to this point, the two of them are at a loss, as if something has collapsed at this moment, they don't know what to do.

"What happened just now, did the Bodhisattva really appear?" At this time, Li Xiuyuan asked Zhu Yu next to him in a bit of a daze.

Zhu Yu nodded subconsciously: "It's true that the spirit has really manifested. Brother Li, it's so hard that you didn't see it just now?"

"I was offering incense just now, where did I see it?" Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said.

657 Chapter Huiyuan

It seems that the matter of the Bodhisattva's appearance has become a bit big.

Soon the Bodhisattva in this treasure hall was crowded with pilgrims, and Li Xiuyuan didn't even dare to stay here anymore, so he hurriedly left the side of the Bodhisattva statue, and retreated to the side with his friends, not disturbing these pilgrims who were almost fanatically worshiping .

It's just that it is not known how many of these pilgrims sincerely worship the Buddha.

What Li Xiuyuan said just now can only wake up some people, but it is impossible to wake up everyone. He didn't force it, he just followed the fate.

When others ask questions with an open mind, you should answer them without hesitation.

A group of people managed to squeeze out from the crowd.

Zhu Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead almost in a state of exhaustion: "When the Bodhisattva appears, the pilgrims here seem to be crazy. It's really scary."

Li Xiuyuan said: "Yes, it is precisely because of this that once ghosts pretend to be gods and Buddhas to instigate the people, it will be a very harmful thing. Many people still lack the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and they need to be knowledgeable and virtuous. It’s only good to be guided by the people who are here, let’s leave this place to those pilgrims, let’s go to other places to play, what happened just now is a farce.”

He vaguely saw that Fang Shengyu and his wife were still kneeling in front of the statue of the Bodhisattva and bowed down. It could be seen that what happened just now did not give them much warning.

After all, you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

"It's really a strange thing today. I have another story to write in my miscellaneous notes." Zhang Bangchang laughed.

However, there was something wrong with the way he looked at Li Xiuyuan, with a bit of respect.

Even the Bodhisattva listened to some of his teachings, even the Bodhisattva bowed his head to pay respects once he bent down to offer incense.

Such a character is absolutely extraordinary.

No wonder he was able to quell the turmoil of the Nine Mountain King, and was recognized by the court as the governor of Yangzhou.

"Haha, Brother Li, look, the sheep you bought with ten taels of silver is still with you, and it didn't get lost just now. It seems that this sheep has been enlightened by the Bodhisattva and is determined to ask you to repay your kindness." " Qian Jun, who was at the side, couldn't help laughing when he saw that the one-horned goat was still following Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan glanced back and said with a smile; "It seems that it is also spiritual, knowing that I saved it and avoided the danger of being slaughtered by business."

"Amitabha, what this benefactor said is true. This sheep is indeed very spiritual, but the poor monk saw that the benefactor offered incense to the Bodhisattva just now. It must be a great blessing for the benefactor to get a response from the Bodhisattva. People." An old monk came over, folded his hands together and saluted.

"I have met Master Huiyuan." Zhang Bangchang and Qian Jun hurriedly returned their salutes, obviously they knew this eminent monk from Xiangguo Temple.

Master Huiyuan smiled and said, "The two benefactors are polite."

Li Xiuyuan also gave a salute and said: "Master has praised me, I am just an ordinary person, how can I have any wisdom roots, please forgive me if my remarks just now offend much."

His previous words seemed to many people to disrespect Buddha.

Saying this in Buddhism will arouse the resentment of some pilgrims and even monks.

But this Master Huiyuan laughed and said: "What the almsgiver said just now is very reasonable. The original intention of the Buddha is not to make people worship and worship, but to persuade people to do good. Worshiping and worshiping the Buddha is just a form. People need to pass This is a way to arouse kind thoughts in the heart, thus contaminating a bit of Buddha nature. Possessing the compassion of a Bodhisattva."

"Does Master agree with me?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"The words of the almsgiver reveal the wisdom of the Buddha everywhere. How can the poor monk disagree? And isn't it the best proof that the bodhisattva appeared and worshiped the almsman just now? Even the bodhisattva is listening to the almsgiver's truth. Go against it?" Master Huiyuan said.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Master can understand."

Being able to understand what he said shows that this master Huiyuan is also a wise monk. If he can't understand and reprimands him, he is just a layman in cassock. He is not willing to communicate and talk with such a person.

"I don't know whether the benefactors came to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha today? Or to listen to Master Shikong's lecture?" Don’t dare to be negligent, if you want to burn incense and worship Buddha, you can go to the back mountain to pay homage, and the poor monk can ask the disciples in the temple to bring a few donors to go.”

"We are here to listen to Master Shikong's lecture." Li Xiuyuan said.

Master Huiyuan smiled and said, "It's not the time for the senior brother of the poor monk to open the altar to give lectures. If the donors don't mind, you can go to the meditation room to drink tea and rest for a while, and wait for the senior brother of the poor monk to open the altar and lecture The poor monk will ask the disciples in the temple to inform several benefactors."

"In this way, there will be Master Lao." Li Xiuyuan saluted back.

"It's good, good, it's a blessing for the poor monk that Xiangguo Temple can entertain such distinguished guests as the benefactor." Master Huiyuan clasped his hands together.

Soon, Master Huiyuan sent Li Xiuyuan and the others to the monastery, and then said goodbye.

Zhang Bangchang said with a smile: "It's very rare for an eminent monk like Master Huiyuan to entertain us in person. Usually, high-ranking officials from the imperial court come to visit us. If there is an inconvenient time, Master Huiyuan will not be there. Today is the time to ask Thanks to Brother Li, being honored to receive courtesy from Master Huiyuan, it would be a very honorable thing to say."

"Maybe it's not because of Brother Li's face, maybe Master Huiyuan got the guidance of the Bodhisattva." Qian Jun said with a smile; Brother ran to Xiangguo Temple to stay because he avoided his shrewd wife at home, he should still be here, why don't we go find him?"

"The reminder is right, I almost forgot that Brother Gao is still in Xiangguo Temple, let's go and look for him together, go look for him together." Qian Jun said.

Zhu Yu said: "Why don't you go to the back mountain to pay homage to the Buddhist temples while you're looking for people? Don't forget that we specially brought Brother Li to visit in order to thank Brother Li for his kindness that day."

"Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot Brother Li again." Zhang Bangchang patted his forehead and laughed at himself.

Several people were talking and laughing, and they were in a good mood, so they started to play in Xiangguo Temple.

But when he was playing, Li Xiuyuan was always followed by a sheep.

The goat really followed wherever he went, he didn't worry about being scared away, and he didn't need special instructions.

It's hard to believe that this sheep was still running wildly around the gate of Xiangguo Temple before, almost hurting the pilgrims.

Li Xiuyuan has been observing the sheep secretly, and even used the divine eye technique to investigate, but he didn't see anything weird, and there was no evil spirit on his body, let alone any trace of cultivation.
