Chapter 77
The pillar in the minds of the monks in Longquan Mountain.Brother Faseng unexpectedly left the customs without warning.
This is really an event that is enough to make the whole temple down the mountain have to put down their hands immediately,? It is a big event that rushed to greet them spontaneously.
Three years ago, the other party decided to go back to the mountains and enter the customs alone after he settled the three dragon lake karmas of "Fish of the Northern Darkness", "Lion and Elephant Twin Demons" and "Garlou Luolong".
Rush to the top and become holy with the flesh.This is a peak that ordinary Buddhist practitioners cannot climb past in their lifetime.
But at such a young age, Fang Dinghai resolutely decided to reach the summit of enlightenment alone, and he succeeded in another three years.This talent and strength already surpassed the vast majority of modern Buddhist practitioners in the world.
In the past three years, there has been no movement in that pagoda.The wheel of life and death on the tower is used to record time, and the magic weapon of the year rotates regularly above.
But when will the Buddhist monks in the pagoda be able to complete their work? It is still unknown.Because that side of the wheel of life and death is the guarding circle of Longquan Mountain, Fang Haiwen, the brother of the prison temple, usually takes care of it on his behalf.
Now,? Since Senior Brother Haiwen said it himself, the day for Fang Dinghai to leave the customs has come, and all the monks are waiting obediently below.
And accompanied by that ray of Buddha's light, in the eyes of the little novice monks waiting for one far and one clear below, they saw that the master monk, who had been away for three years, came like a Buddha.
The first thing I saw was the wind blowing the ancient temple door.
When the figure of that person appeared, a pair of light white monk shoes fell to the ground without any weight.
The only wooden temple door in the temple that has not been replaced with modern anti-theft windows opens very lightly. The corner of the white monk's robe sways like the wind as he walks. His feet are not stained with dust, as if he has never stepped on dust in his life.
The other party came out with hands behind their backs, and all the monks saw the white-clothed monk with thick shoulders and thin waist, with a blurry face and his back turned to the hall.
The light from the golden animal-shaped roof falls on the back of his neck, which is much taller, thinner and fairer,? But after he was shaved again three years ago, the top of his blue hair full of troubles was shaved off, and his earlobes were clean under the status of a monk. It is more eye-catching and bright.
His eyebrows are like snow, his long sleeves are like the wind, and his nose bridge and lips are thin and tight on a face with flawless features.
On this face, the eyes under a pair of cold-toned eyelids are extremely black, not like a living person.The half of the long-sleeved white cassock with cloud dragon silk extends to the bottom of the arm, holding a string of golden tassels of rosary beads, and the string of black beads extending from the back of the neck is full of Buddha energy.
Seriously, the face is like a lotus flower, and the body is full of clouds. It is a rare pearl and beautiful jade in Buddhism.
As long as he is by his side, no one can resist the immeasurable brilliance of his Buddha Dharma. Just the pressure caused by the great completion of the dharma body makes people dare not look up at his majesty.
And this scene fell into the eyes of a little novice like Yiqing Yiyuan, who was the number one fan of the Buddhist monk and uncle, and whispered behind the master.
"Aww, Master Six is really handsome, but what Master Haipeng said is right, we should hang the face of the uncle on the gate of the scenic spot as soon as possible like looking for a spokesperson on TV——Aww, master, don't pinch us——"
The two lively little fat men who were only ten years old finished speaking.The old abbot in front lifted the two arms under the cassock and squeezed his mouth from the side.
Haipeng and his group stood behind and grabbed the corner of the little fat man's mouth to twitch in fright, not daring to speak.The old abbot, White Beard, trembled in his heart, and looked up to confirm that the words had not reached the ears of his senior.
After all, others don't know, but he knows that his own brother has a colder temper than anyone else.Such words, he, an old man with the dragon and tiger plaster still on his body, dare not let the other party hear it as soon as he leaves the customs.
I also looked at the 'presiding over the overall situation' looking here.The kind-hearted, smiling abbot Hai Xin hurried forward to say hello to his own senior brother.
"Brother, you have worked so hard for three years of retreat, Haipeng, you still haven't led everyone forward."
"Oh, brother is well! Feel free to praise! Sensing the mystery of Buddhism, welcome brother to return to the summit—"
The group of guys with all kinds of shirts and sweaters stuffed in their monk uniforms interrupted him, and his senior brother stood at the top and heard it.But on the face that didn't fluctuate, he just looked down with his hands behind his back, and then swept across the crowd below.
But this represented a glance full of school-testing feelings towards the monks, and it also made the big guys feel inexplicably nervous.
Because the Buddhist monk is the first in the temple.The first one is the model of practice in the whole temple, holding the power of order in the meditation hall.As long as he is out of customs, it means that the first thing everyone sees him is the school exam, so no one should be lucky, the 'nightmare' has already come.
"Where are the masters of the courtyards in Longquan Mountain?"
Fang Dinghai spoke from above.
"Where is the mantle?"
"Liaoyuan, Dianzuo, where is the Supervisory Court?"
"The three chief elders and deacons of Longquan Mountain are here."
With these questions in succession, the impersonal and alienated look in the eyes of the other party was even more serious than when he was retreating three years ago.I also want to know that the higher the cultivation level of Buddhism, the fewer and fewer emotions and six desires in people's hearts, until they enter and cut off the five aggregates, it is not false.
And the so-called ① Huazhu, Yibo, Liaoyuan elders and deacons in the mouth of the so-called Buddhist monks.That is, the retired monks and class officials in a temple, the head monk.
Among them, Dian Zuo is the person in charge of the kitchen and fasting hall, managing affairs such as meals for monks and fasting for believers.Liao Yuan is the person in charge of Yunshuitang, managing the affairs of monks who come to the temple to place orders.
The mantle is the person in charge of the abbot's office, helping the abbot with some daily affairs.
Huazhu refers to the monk in the jungle who is responsible for collecting Huazhu from the donor.The second meaning is the master of enlightenment, usually referring to the abbot of the jungle.
There are a large number of monks in this category, and they often undertake the work below the daily abbot in Buddhism.Such as fast food and so on.
What I want to say here is that most ordinary temples have this position, but in Longquan Mountain, there is one elder, who is an entrepreneur who checks violations at the entrance of the scenic spot every day, and two deacons, who are the two and the network cable test data Brothers tied together.
"Elder, the deacon is here."
So as soon as this was said, three of the monks below who had waited for three rounds should stand out. They were Fang Haipeng who had appeared at the bottom of the mountain, Fang Hainei, and Fang Haihen who stayed in the temple.
The three of them are tall, short, fat and thin, with different faces, and their heads are sweaty.
But he was honest enough in front of his own senior brother.Seeing that they were dressed decently this time, Fang Dinghai stood on the top, but he brushed off his snow-white sleeves without saying hello.
Unsurprisingly, in front of the whole temple, one of the things that brother Faseng did as soon as he came out of the gate was to "examine the school".
This semi-attraction to Lei is more refined than he was three years ago.
Hai Peng, Hai Nie, and Hai Hen waved their arms in a hurry, and the combination of external qi and hard skills was almost thrown out of the steps under the pagoda.
Miserable is very miserable.
The three of them crawled and rolled on the ground, but at least they caught this half-movement, and seeing that they were not completely deserted when they were retreating by themselves, Monk Fa quickly stopped his hand and drew something behind him.
"Jingle Bell--"
In front of him, the glazed Zen staff with a string of glazed vajra dragon bells on the top broke through the door first, and then stood firmly on the top of the steps shaking the Buddhist beads.
Everyone also saw clearly that this is the magic weapon of the Buddhist monks in Longquan Mountain - Di Shi.
Compared with the past, Di Shi's Dharma-protecting Buddha light has not only improved in color, but also has the blessing of this string of glazed dragon bells, which shows the light of the most treasured Buddhism in the world. It was at this time that their brothers, Dharma monks, opened their mouths. spoke.
"It's okay."
Fang Dinghai said.
These words can scare people to death.Seeing this, Haixin breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward, saying,
"Brother worked hard to take the school exam today."
"In the past three years, the total number of people in the temple, except for ten people, will go down the mountain to enter the world, and the rest will not change here. After all the monks have greeted you, we will not disturb you when the whole temple sits in meditation at night. Next, the stick monks and the monks in the inner courtyard I will then go to the foot of the mountain and the various courtyards, so you can repair it in the main temple now."
"After that, senior brother Haiwen will tell you about the rest of the changes in the temple over the past three years."
"Ah."
This word, Fang Dinghai replied concisely, and he didn't say much, which also means that everyone has temporarily passed the test today.
In this regard, the colleges did not dare to say anything after undergoing a series of examinations and visiting the priests and monks, and they all began to withdraw one after another.Seeing that the crowd was almost gone, at this time, another senior brother who was in charge of the main Buddha hall also came out.
"How about it, are you satisfied with the school exam this time?"
Fang Haiwen stood behind his younger brother and asked this question.
He stood at the gate with one hand in his pocket, his eyes were peaceful, the scars on his fair face were still intact, but there was a bit of elegance between his brows, and he patted him on the shoulder with a wise and kind manner.
As a monastery supervisor, he dressed differently from other monks.
Although he is also a monk, he has short black curly hair and is wearing a beige thin sweater.
Such a modern person's attire doesn't look like an uncle in charge of the temple at all.
But who told him that this person has always been like this.As he said that, Fang Haiwen took out a mobile phone in front of the junior brother in a dignified manner, first replied to a message sent a few minutes ago, and then tilted his head and patted the junior brother on the back.
"Darling, please give me a review. People will give you a good review when they shop. I'll show you the temple for three years as if you were in a kindergarten. Don't give me a straight face."
Fang Dinghai: "..."
His kissing is really weird.
"What do you say?"
"Except Shang Ke, what else can I say."
As he said that, Fang Dinghai didn't look at his weird senior brother either.But when the two were talking, the coldness on his face seemed to be irrepressible no matter what.In the words, he always has an attitude of holding a stick in the palm of his hand towards his juniors.
"Of course, according to your standards, everyone will definitely not be able to catch up in 200 years."
Hearing his tone, Senior Brother Haiwen was very peaceful. "However, I think they have made a lot of progress, at least they can handle some big scenes. After all, this time, you told me not to tell me in advance that you are going to leave the customs, and make a surprise inspection."
The third senior brother himself reminded with a sly face at this time.
Regarding this, Fang Dinghai, the cold-faced brother represented by a 'dark belly' and 'perverted', didn't say anything, but he also acquiesced that he deliberately did not say hello to carry out a surprise attack.
"Then what they wear, and the current appearance of the temple, don't have a little bit of the appearance of the cultivation place that the master instructed back then."
But seeing that the steps of the temple were empty, Fa Seng spoke coldly with his hands behind his back,
It was also after hearing this that Fang Haiwen followed the direction where his junior brother's obviously angry eyes fell, and only then did he see what he was pointing at.
Fang Hai asked: "Hey, what happened to the decoration in our temple, isn't it very grand?"
Fang Dinghai: "What is that at the gate?"
Fang Hai asked: "There are public restrooms for men and women who are separate for the handicapped."
Fang Dinghai: "It's on the wall."
Fang Hai asked: "Air conditioner and network cable."
Fang Dinghai: "It's pasted on the merit box."
Fang Hai asked: "Alipay and WeChat QR codes."
Fang Dinghai: "What about the ground?"
Fang Hai asked: "It's not for tourists, it's the courier and takeaway from our own temple. Don't worry, it's all sent up the mountain by normal courier companies. There are absolutely no dangerous goods sent by ghosts and ghosts to trouble us."
Fang Dinghai: "...Fang Hai asked."
Fang Hai asked: "Well, I am also responsible. The main reason is that you have been going to the summit for three years to retreat. In addition to the little demons in the back mountain, the scenic spots also need to make money. I adopted some Haipeng's suggestions for temple decoration. "
The uncompromising dialogue between the two teachers and brothers, coupled with the freezing atmosphere, is too terrifying.
Faced with the attitude of his senior brother messing around with everyone, monk Fa, who had been away from the temple for three years, didn't know what to say.
Originally, he thought that with his two pillar-like senior brothers in the past three years, at least the normal order in the temple would not be disrupted.
But in reality, it seems that we are at the top of the Buddhist cultivators, and the Buddhist monks who don't care about this world think a little bit differently.
This also caused Fang Dinghai to face the thing that was about to 'invade' under his nose just after leaving the customs, and his heart was shrouded in a layer of ice, so he grabbed Ti Shi and went straight to the back of his meditation room. And went.
"Hello, Dinghai."
"I installed an air conditioner and an elderly massage chair for your meditation room, as well as a magic circle charger and eight sockets specially prepared for Di Shi. Why don't you go back and take a look."
"..."
Seeing him go, Fang Hai asked this man who was worse than a fox to return his clothes and followed him as if he hurt his junior brother.
In this regard, the tall monk in white with a dusty figure paused under the piece of amulet, and then stepped back to the back hall as he was about to return to the Zen room first.
Seeing this, his third senior brother sighed that he was ignorant, and the two of them side by side crossed half of the ginkgo tree in front of the main courtyard.
During this period, Senior Brother Hai Wen had one hand behind his back.The two of them came out of the long corridor back and forth together.
Then they walked under a ginkgo tree in the non-visit area isolated from the whole scenic spot, and walked from the front of the hall into the Zen room provided by the amulets of the abbots of the past dynasties.At this time, seeing the incense burning in the golden altar above, two people entered from the side.
As soon as these two people avoid others and come here specifically, it means that the brothers and sisters are going to talk about the real business.
In fact, Fang Dinghai's exit this time was not because he happened to have a great achievement in martial arts, or because of this school exam, but because of another "big event" that Longquan Mountain would encounter every 40 years.
"I haven't come out for three years, should I offer an incense stick to the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, masters and ancestors first?"
In front of him, his senior brother stepped in and opened the door to go in, and asked him again with a stick of incense.
"Ah."
Hearing this, Fang Dinghai raised his hand holding the Buddhist beads to take the incense sticks. This young but Buddhist monk who has always been overwhelming in Buddhism looked at his senior brother above and beside him and responded in this way.
Above, there are still dozens of tablets under the Buddha.
The one who is closest to modern times is Master Fang Mingxiang. Afterwards, the eminent monk Situ Gangan is written one after another.
It also made Fang Haiwen stand half a step behind him, looking at the backs of him and the Buddhist Zen masters of the past, and then said with his hands behind his back,
"Dinghai."
"Among the Buddhist sects, the 40-year-long Longquan Mountain Dharma Ceremony is coming soon for all Buddhist practitioners in this world. Huayan Eighteenth Sangha, Wutai Mountain Sangha, Bright Sangha and Yaoquan Seng The regiment has already responded."
——"This time, since you have decided to leave the customs, does it mean that Longquan Mountain is really ready?"
……
On this day, the entire temple ushered in the early closing of the scenic spot, and everyone also welcomed back their senior Buddhist monk who had been away for three years.
It is a good thing that people are back.But the departure of the Buddhist monk also means that the days of practicing in the past are about to begin again.But on the first day, everyone was quite nervous, for fear of another "surprise" like before.
After three days, everyone was relieved.
Because Brother Faseng is out of customs.But usually, I never go out of the main temple and meditation room.He has an indifferent attitude towards all tourist-related attractions and areas down the mountain.
Except for the day when the air conditioner and massage chair in the room were forcibly removed, the other juniors had never seen him appear again.
Hai Nie and his gang discussed this while they were sitting at the entrance of the scenic spot selling tickets and scratching their feet.Everyone agreed that Senior Brother Fa Seng was too aloof, and he hadn't seen a living person for a long time, so he refused to 'have fun with the people'.
And when these words, along the noisy scenic traffic and loudspeaker music, spread to the ears of the Buddhist monk himself, the monk himself, who had not been seen for almost three days, opened his eyes in the meditation room .
"..."
Right now, his room is cold and empty, and he is alone.Except for a futon for meditation, a Buddha head alchemy stove for refining medicine, a sitting statue of the pharmacist Liuli Tathagata on a small table, and a bed for sleeping, there is nothing.
A gauze covered with glazed beads blocked his eyes, but he couldn't show up because of two big reasons.
One, it is because compared to other temples.In the past three years, the main temple of Longquan Mountain has also undergone some changes that can be called "turning upside down".
Although, the general pattern of temple halls has not changed.But at a glance, every merit box placed in front of different Buddhist halls has been pasted with a QR code.
Fire hydrants, anti-theft doors, voice recognition code scanning exits, and walkways for the blind and disabled are installed at the gate. At the bottom near the main entrance exit, there is a well-built dual-purpose public toilet.
As we all know, the upper and lower levels of their temple have entered into modern commercialization for a long time in order to be able to operate in this world for a long time.
The foot of the mountain is a scenic spot where cars come and go.The monks in the temple usually wear modern clothes, and they often use mobile phones and computers to blow air conditioners.
The gate of the temple on the top of the mountain has a door plate except for holidays.Usually, if sightseeing cars are not prohibited, monks’ take-out and express delivery can be delivered directly to the gate of the main monastery.
Right now, in front of the main hall, there is a row of couriers that have not been dispatched by the junior nephews of the various courtyards.This pile of couriers included snacks, books, and game discs sent by Yamashita, and these monks presumably bought them spontaneously.
This also made Fang Dinghai, a brother like Fang Dinghai, who was really not used to being noisy like everyone else outside of practice, choose to stay in the meditation room every day and not go to other places in the scenic spot.
Second, it is necessary to go back to the conversation between his brother Fang Haiwen and him that day.
The last thing he and Fang Haiwen talked about that day was about this matter.
Longquan Mountain Dharma Assembly. Once every 40 years.As soon as these two keywords fell, the room between the two brothers and sisters was silent for a while, and the Buddhist hall was filled with incense, but they knew very well that this topic was the main reason for Fang Dinghai to leave the customs this time.
What is a puja?
It is an internal legal event that Zen practitioners are used to, but it is closer to a public examination among Buddhist practitioners that has continued to this day.
But this test is not limited to temples like what Fang Dinghai did, but a competition of laws against different popes in temples all over the world.It is mainly composed of worshiping and repenting, popularizing Buddha, three-time recitation, and zooming in on Mengshan.
Although in the eyes of the outside world, after thousands of years, their monks are no different from the tourists below except that they are vegetarians and bald.
But this great hermit of Longquan Mountain is hidden under the appearance of the city, but it is the origin of Buddhist Zen practice.Its orthodox root lies in the Buddhist monks of the past dynasties as supervisors to maintain and restrain disciples.
Don't look at the disciples' usual fights.When it comes to the critical moment, each of them still has the ability to make a move.
Because there are only orthodox Buddhist practitioners in the temple.Only when there is a crisis caused by demons, only monks enlightened by the Buddha can come forward to overcome the catastrophe of the world in person, which is why this kind of puja will always exist in modern society.
The Huayan Eighteenth Sangha, Wutai Mountain Sangha, Guangming Sangha, and Yaoquan Sangha just mentioned by Fang Haiwen, together with the main temple of Longquan Mountain, are the venues of the Dharma Assembly of the five major living Buddhist main temples. As usual, this time there will be a one-on-one four-day discussion at the Fa Conference, and the winner or loser is uncertain.
But in the past three reincarnations of merit and virtue, Longquan Mountain has always been the winner among the five main temples.
This is why the title of Buddhist monk is still in Longquan Mountain today.
This means that Fang Dinghai, as a Buddhist monk of this generation, must personally preside over the 40-year Dharma Assembly Ceremony in the main temple of Longquan Mountain in the next month or so, and let Buddhists from all walks of life enter Longquan Mountain for a Field Theory Law Conference.
Only after all the monks and eminent monks have finished discussing the Dharma will the new generation of Jinding leader Dharma Seng Dashi attribute the new title of Dharma Monk to that winner.
Longquanshan won.
Fang Dinghai won.
All their disciples in the temple won this dharma meeting that only the strongest disciples of the inner Buddhist sect could step into.Only the title of Buddhist monk can be retained.Otherwise, the height of Buddha cultivation left by his masters and ancestors will come to an end.
"You've made it to the summit. I shouldn't have worried about you, but this time our opponents are also the golden Arhat disciples of the Arhat Sect. Everyone who comes here should not be underestimated. Therefore, this matter is the most important thing."
"I have already thought about some things to welcome guests from far away, but in the past two nights, there are some abnormalities in the back mountain."
Fang Hai asked.
"What's abnormal."
Fang Dinghai asked without looking back.
"A strange demonic energy with color and identity of unknown origin passed through the human world again, haunting under the boundary, trying to get close to the Longquan Mountain scenic spot, but it also disappeared very quickly at night, and it was impossible to see what it was. Therefore, someone is staying In the back mountain."
"Dinghai."
"Perhaps, after the water of Longhu Lake, there will be an unknown catastrophe in Longquan Mountain."
These words made the two of them silent for a while, but they also looked at the life and death wheel that was running normally above.Neither of them knew whether the words were accurate, but Fang Dinghai's eyes seemed to have no emotion of ordinary people, and he looked directly at the reflection in the wheel of life and death like his heart that would not beat.
The face remained the same.
However, since he returned to Longquan Mountain three years ago and found the treasure of Longhu, he has returned to his status as a monk.
His monster eye has lasted for three years.Now the skills have been basically completed.
This makes the mana all over his body overshadow the majesty of the temple itself. Not only can he integrate it into the dharma body left by the Buddhist monks of the past dynasties, he can see through the true face of the world's monsters, but also makes the face of the cultivation base have a kind of Buddhism. The eminent monk's voice is empty and cold.
In the reflection, there is indeed a demonic energy in the wheel of life and death wandering among the mountains.He looked at him from below and quickly dissipated. Only then did the young monk in white speak.
"understood."
These three words represent that the duties of Buddhist monks will be fulfilled and that all of them will be busy next time.Seeing this, Fang Haiwen didn't need to say much, he nodded and asked again,
"But you just left customs, don't you want to rest for a few days?"
"You can't take a break when you have something to do. Besides, you haven't had a day off in the past three years."
Fang Dinghai also answered with his eyes closed and his hands behind his back.
"Before the official members of the monks from all parties enter Longquan Mountain this time, I would like to ask the senior brother to continue to watch the back mountain, so as to avoid some 'abnormal' taking the opportunity to harm tourists."
"Except for meeting people in my temple today, don't tell anyone. I'm in the temple now. If outsiders ask, let the disciples say that I haven't left the customs for three years."
"..."
"I'm not here, there are some 'things' that dare to come to the main temple openly, otherwise I wouldn't have tried repeatedly before." Fang Dinghai said coldly. "Whether it's a demon or a demon, you have to see the front to know what it is."
"it is good."
Standing behind him, senior brother Hai asked back, and as he spoke, he also glanced at the looming demonic energy in the wheel of life and death in front of the junior brother and the two of them.
"Then let's take care of our own positions, you and I...wait for the official arrival of the Longquan Dharma Conference after 40 years."
……
With a word from Senior Brother Haiwen, the supervisor.The news that all of them, the Buddhist monks and brothers, had just left the customs, was temporarily controlled by the temple staff.In less than a month, there will be a Dharma conference to welcome the Sangha, and a competition for the head of the new [-] Buddhist monks will be held in the five major monasteries.
This thing is really big.
Except for the group of disciples who were really young novice monks, the rest of the adult disciples were actually busy silently.
Because there are many monks coming from the outside world during this period, it is likely that demons will also be mixed in.From this day on, Longquan Mountain not only strengthened the formation on the upper and lower highways, but even Jiansi and senior brothers Kanshan disappeared again.
Brother Chi stayed in the temple to sit in charge, and the rest went to their respective positions, but the first thing they were busy with was the Dharma conference.
And it's because they, who are in charge of the house, don't come out at all.Fang Haiwen from the prison temple reminded everyone not to let outsiders know that brother Faseng is in the temple.
So to strike while the iron is hot, Haipeng, a fellow with a big heart and a fat body but with super mobility, also set up a new sightseeing spot in the scenic spot before the Fa Conference was held.
One of the scenic spots for this sightseeing, this time it is in a public area next to their founder.
It was a bodhi tree with a crooked neck. It cost 50 yuan to write a sign promising marriage and threw it on the tree. It was surrounded by a circle of iron chains that were forbidden to touch. Inside was a copper statue of Master Fang Dinghai, a 1:1 life-sized Buddhist monk. statue.
Underneath, as if he was afraid that others would know that Fang Dinghai was still alive, he wrote three big characters and a small row of his life in a very solemn atmosphere.
【Fang Dinghai】
[Male, born in 195X, from Longquan Mountain, contemporary Buddhist monk]
This bronze statue has nothing to do with Fang Dinghai himself except for his name.It is as terrible as telling all the tourists who come to Longquan Mountain that my brother has passed away this year.
Fang Haipeng, a self-proclaimed 'smart' brain melon, was very proud of this, and he almost beat the gong and turned on the electronic guide to tell everyone in the world about this scenic spot.
It's just that since the bronze statue was erected there, the traffic and sales of marriage cards have indeed increased.Everyone who comes to make a wish will get a Buddhist story told by the monks of the temple.
But what exactly is this 'mysterious' story, the protagonist himself does not know.
And just when the mountain and the mountain are as lively as usual and the scenic spots in various places.Among the fruit dining car tour buses that go up and down Longquan Mountain every day, one of them drove thousands of miles from the world into the mountains after many days——
201X
Heihe City
"Dudu-"
When a luxury car crossed half of the mountain driving out of the urban area, it passed by countless vehicles before entering the hotel on the opposite side of the mountain. Secretary He, who was trying to find a parking space after getting off the car, and another sitting in the back The people in Sagittarius also appeared here after three days.
"Boss, this is Longquan Mountain, it should be your first time here."
"..."
In this regard, Gu, who was sitting by the car window and wearing big sunglasses in broad daylight, also moved when his secretary said this, and the fingers that fell on his knees did not squeak.
His black eyes fell on the distant mountains.As a quasi-Buddha who has lived in the modern city for so long, the mountains and rivers in front of him, which are closer to a place far away, are indeed quite strange to him.
But having said that, this place has already been fully commercialized in all aspects.In front of him is a resort in the service area of Longquan Mountain Scenic Area. This is also the place that his new secretary personally chose after doing a lot of reference.
There are not only mid-level hotels and golf resorts, but also swimming pools and various hotel consumption, which has achieved complete commercialization.
On the highest point of the opposite mountain, there is a small pavilion for monks to ring the bell, which is the famous Longquan Mountain Yaoshi Temple Scenic Area.
People who live here can not only enjoy the one-on-one service of the most advanced hotel, but also can go to the main temple on the top of the opposite mountain to pay homage to the Buddha from here, within 10 minutes' drive.
Although, Secretary He didn't think that Gu Donglai suddenly said that he came here to worship Buddha just after returning to China, but whoever told his boss that he was really rich, there is a large piece of land in this kind of place, so he came here casually and said It's time to 'do business'.
And seeing him propping his head on one hand, wearing black trousers and leather shoes, his long hair tied up as usual, and a new necklace around his neck, he doesn't look like a serious tourist either.
It was also at this time that Gu Donglai looked away indifferently, put his arms on the back of his head, narrowed his eyes carelessly, and replied.
"I haven't been here, but I'm familiar with it."
"...Huh? You've heard of it before, or do you have friends here?"
Secretary He didn't know much, so he asked casually.
"No, it might have been in a dream."
With that said, Gu Donglai lazily raised his hands and patted his knees, without further explanation.He didn't answer directly whether he had friends here.
And seeing, in the distance, the main temple with a golden roof and red walls, and all kinds of flowers in front of the Buddha are planted along the way.From this point of view, there is a different kind of feeling of being far away in the sky and close in front of the eyes. Gu Donglai only recalled something at this time and asked.
"Speaking of which, did you tell me when you went up the mountain, what is the most famous local Longquan Dharma ceremony that is going to be held here recently, once every 40 years?"
"Yes, that's right, Boss, there is a saying in Buddhism that there is a Dharma meeting, and it is usually held by internal disciples and lay disciples to worship the Buddha. It should be very lively up and down the mountain by then."
Secretary He turned his head in front to answer.
"So, in the past 23 days, the temple will welcome many monk groups from different surrounding temples and religions to hold pujas for the monks in this temple?"
Gu Donglai asked again.
"Yes, but I heard that it is usually on the top of the mountain and is not open to the public, but during the period, tourists at the bottom of the mountain still sell tickets to enter incense and visit normally."
"Oh, so, I'm quite interested in that conference. It's good to have a chance to take a look. Let's see how long I can stay here during this time."
What Gu Dong said was ordinary, but it also revealed a little information about staying in the scenic spot for a few more days.
Then, this time, Gu Donglai, who actually had something to do, also explained more, got out of the car with Secretary He, and checked into the Banshan Hotel first like an ordinary mortal who came to a scenic spot for vacation.
It was rare for him to keep a low profile when he arrived, but everything that had been prepared in the hotel was fully supplied.
The night before, Secretary He didn't live on the mountain, so he drove the car down first because he didn't finish his official duties at all.Gu Donglai lived alone in a hotel suite on the top floor facing Longquan Mountain.
At night, he took a shower, and after wiping his hair for a while, he leaned against the window and looked out the window alone.
That long hair sprinkled on the sexy and strong abs and chest, the white is dazzling, and it also makes this long-haired man who has never shown his emotions and anger in front of others look a different kind of personal charm.
This room has a floor-to-ceiling balcony, and there are meals and wine on the table that the hotel has heard that investors have come to specially deliver.
This end is a commercial human scenic spot.On the opposite side is the Qing Leng ancient temple where the lights can't be seen at night, which creates a sense of distance between the two sides separating the large forest and the distant mountains.
He thought of something for a moment, remembering that when he went up the mountain during the day, he and Secretary He pretended not to know this place, and the hand and eyes holding the towel also paused for a while facing the window.
It's just that when he said that, it sounded strange, but it was true.
Although he had never been here in the physical body before, his soul had been here once, and he was quite familiar with the name.After all, when the Ksitigarbha asked him to solve the 20-day calamity of fate, he was also surprised that he had the opportunity to come here after three years.
——Longquan Mountain.
After thinking about it, this place did have a very close connection with him.But since three years ago, Gu Donglai has not heard three words in his ears.
Although after that memory, generally speaking, it is indeed a unique memory for him.
But for a ruthless and unintentional Buddhist practitioner like him, saying goodbye itself may be something that will happen in the next life.Neither he nor that person is the kind of person who would go to catch up and say hello to each other if there is no accident.
What's more, the cause and effect have already been broken.The two of them hadn't contacted each other for a long time, so this time, it didn't seem necessary.
Because this time, this catastrophe of fate would be resolved quickly by him if nothing else happened.
This idea, after three years, Gu Donglai is also firm.It was Gu Donglai who simply propped himself up on one side and sat on the dangerous and extremely cold railing thought so. He had sensed from daytime that there was a powerful and familiar magic circle in the opposite mountain before he waved his hand.
【"Yashodhara."】
With this sentence, King Peacock Ming, who came here in the form of a mortal, has already summoned his own gemstone golden bird tail magic arrow full of purple energy and wearing three thousand Buddha lights.
For a while, he was sitting on a high place, with long hair facing the big mountain Buddha from bottom to top.
This is really an event that is enough to make the whole temple down the mountain have to put down their hands immediately,? It is a big event that rushed to greet them spontaneously.
Three years ago, the other party decided to go back to the mountains and enter the customs alone after he settled the three dragon lake karmas of "Fish of the Northern Darkness", "Lion and Elephant Twin Demons" and "Garlou Luolong".
Rush to the top and become holy with the flesh.This is a peak that ordinary Buddhist practitioners cannot climb past in their lifetime.
But at such a young age, Fang Dinghai resolutely decided to reach the summit of enlightenment alone, and he succeeded in another three years.This talent and strength already surpassed the vast majority of modern Buddhist practitioners in the world.
In the past three years, there has been no movement in that pagoda.The wheel of life and death on the tower is used to record time, and the magic weapon of the year rotates regularly above.
But when will the Buddhist monks in the pagoda be able to complete their work? It is still unknown.Because that side of the wheel of life and death is the guarding circle of Longquan Mountain, Fang Haiwen, the brother of the prison temple, usually takes care of it on his behalf.
Now,? Since Senior Brother Haiwen said it himself, the day for Fang Dinghai to leave the customs has come, and all the monks are waiting obediently below.
And accompanied by that ray of Buddha's light, in the eyes of the little novice monks waiting for one far and one clear below, they saw that the master monk, who had been away for three years, came like a Buddha.
The first thing I saw was the wind blowing the ancient temple door.
When the figure of that person appeared, a pair of light white monk shoes fell to the ground without any weight.
The only wooden temple door in the temple that has not been replaced with modern anti-theft windows opens very lightly. The corner of the white monk's robe sways like the wind as he walks. His feet are not stained with dust, as if he has never stepped on dust in his life.
The other party came out with hands behind their backs, and all the monks saw the white-clothed monk with thick shoulders and thin waist, with a blurry face and his back turned to the hall.
The light from the golden animal-shaped roof falls on the back of his neck, which is much taller, thinner and fairer,? But after he was shaved again three years ago, the top of his blue hair full of troubles was shaved off, and his earlobes were clean under the status of a monk. It is more eye-catching and bright.
His eyebrows are like snow, his long sleeves are like the wind, and his nose bridge and lips are thin and tight on a face with flawless features.
On this face, the eyes under a pair of cold-toned eyelids are extremely black, not like a living person.The half of the long-sleeved white cassock with cloud dragon silk extends to the bottom of the arm, holding a string of golden tassels of rosary beads, and the string of black beads extending from the back of the neck is full of Buddha energy.
Seriously, the face is like a lotus flower, and the body is full of clouds. It is a rare pearl and beautiful jade in Buddhism.
As long as he is by his side, no one can resist the immeasurable brilliance of his Buddha Dharma. Just the pressure caused by the great completion of the dharma body makes people dare not look up at his majesty.
And this scene fell into the eyes of a little novice like Yiqing Yiyuan, who was the number one fan of the Buddhist monk and uncle, and whispered behind the master.
"Aww, Master Six is really handsome, but what Master Haipeng said is right, we should hang the face of the uncle on the gate of the scenic spot as soon as possible like looking for a spokesperson on TV——Aww, master, don't pinch us——"
The two lively little fat men who were only ten years old finished speaking.The old abbot in front lifted the two arms under the cassock and squeezed his mouth from the side.
Haipeng and his group stood behind and grabbed the corner of the little fat man's mouth to twitch in fright, not daring to speak.The old abbot, White Beard, trembled in his heart, and looked up to confirm that the words had not reached the ears of his senior.
After all, others don't know, but he knows that his own brother has a colder temper than anyone else.Such words, he, an old man with the dragon and tiger plaster still on his body, dare not let the other party hear it as soon as he leaves the customs.
I also looked at the 'presiding over the overall situation' looking here.The kind-hearted, smiling abbot Hai Xin hurried forward to say hello to his own senior brother.
"Brother, you have worked so hard for three years of retreat, Haipeng, you still haven't led everyone forward."
"Oh, brother is well! Feel free to praise! Sensing the mystery of Buddhism, welcome brother to return to the summit—"
The group of guys with all kinds of shirts and sweaters stuffed in their monk uniforms interrupted him, and his senior brother stood at the top and heard it.But on the face that didn't fluctuate, he just looked down with his hands behind his back, and then swept across the crowd below.
But this represented a glance full of school-testing feelings towards the monks, and it also made the big guys feel inexplicably nervous.
Because the Buddhist monk is the first in the temple.The first one is the model of practice in the whole temple, holding the power of order in the meditation hall.As long as he is out of customs, it means that the first thing everyone sees him is the school exam, so no one should be lucky, the 'nightmare' has already come.
"Where are the masters of the courtyards in Longquan Mountain?"
Fang Dinghai spoke from above.
"Where is the mantle?"
"Liaoyuan, Dianzuo, where is the Supervisory Court?"
"The three chief elders and deacons of Longquan Mountain are here."
With these questions in succession, the impersonal and alienated look in the eyes of the other party was even more serious than when he was retreating three years ago.I also want to know that the higher the cultivation level of Buddhism, the fewer and fewer emotions and six desires in people's hearts, until they enter and cut off the five aggregates, it is not false.
And the so-called ① Huazhu, Yibo, Liaoyuan elders and deacons in the mouth of the so-called Buddhist monks.That is, the retired monks and class officials in a temple, the head monk.
Among them, Dian Zuo is the person in charge of the kitchen and fasting hall, managing affairs such as meals for monks and fasting for believers.Liao Yuan is the person in charge of Yunshuitang, managing the affairs of monks who come to the temple to place orders.
The mantle is the person in charge of the abbot's office, helping the abbot with some daily affairs.
Huazhu refers to the monk in the jungle who is responsible for collecting Huazhu from the donor.The second meaning is the master of enlightenment, usually referring to the abbot of the jungle.
There are a large number of monks in this category, and they often undertake the work below the daily abbot in Buddhism.Such as fast food and so on.
What I want to say here is that most ordinary temples have this position, but in Longquan Mountain, there is one elder, who is an entrepreneur who checks violations at the entrance of the scenic spot every day, and two deacons, who are the two and the network cable test data Brothers tied together.
"Elder, the deacon is here."
So as soon as this was said, three of the monks below who had waited for three rounds should stand out. They were Fang Haipeng who had appeared at the bottom of the mountain, Fang Hainei, and Fang Haihen who stayed in the temple.
The three of them are tall, short, fat and thin, with different faces, and their heads are sweaty.
But he was honest enough in front of his own senior brother.Seeing that they were dressed decently this time, Fang Dinghai stood on the top, but he brushed off his snow-white sleeves without saying hello.
Unsurprisingly, in front of the whole temple, one of the things that brother Faseng did as soon as he came out of the gate was to "examine the school".
This semi-attraction to Lei is more refined than he was three years ago.
Hai Peng, Hai Nie, and Hai Hen waved their arms in a hurry, and the combination of external qi and hard skills was almost thrown out of the steps under the pagoda.
Miserable is very miserable.
The three of them crawled and rolled on the ground, but at least they caught this half-movement, and seeing that they were not completely deserted when they were retreating by themselves, Monk Fa quickly stopped his hand and drew something behind him.
"Jingle Bell--"
In front of him, the glazed Zen staff with a string of glazed vajra dragon bells on the top broke through the door first, and then stood firmly on the top of the steps shaking the Buddhist beads.
Everyone also saw clearly that this is the magic weapon of the Buddhist monks in Longquan Mountain - Di Shi.
Compared with the past, Di Shi's Dharma-protecting Buddha light has not only improved in color, but also has the blessing of this string of glazed dragon bells, which shows the light of the most treasured Buddhism in the world. It was at this time that their brothers, Dharma monks, opened their mouths. spoke.
"It's okay."
Fang Dinghai said.
These words can scare people to death.Seeing this, Haixin breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward, saying,
"Brother worked hard to take the school exam today."
"In the past three years, the total number of people in the temple, except for ten people, will go down the mountain to enter the world, and the rest will not change here. After all the monks have greeted you, we will not disturb you when the whole temple sits in meditation at night. Next, the stick monks and the monks in the inner courtyard I will then go to the foot of the mountain and the various courtyards, so you can repair it in the main temple now."
"After that, senior brother Haiwen will tell you about the rest of the changes in the temple over the past three years."
"Ah."
This word, Fang Dinghai replied concisely, and he didn't say much, which also means that everyone has temporarily passed the test today.
In this regard, the colleges did not dare to say anything after undergoing a series of examinations and visiting the priests and monks, and they all began to withdraw one after another.Seeing that the crowd was almost gone, at this time, another senior brother who was in charge of the main Buddha hall also came out.
"How about it, are you satisfied with the school exam this time?"
Fang Haiwen stood behind his younger brother and asked this question.
He stood at the gate with one hand in his pocket, his eyes were peaceful, the scars on his fair face were still intact, but there was a bit of elegance between his brows, and he patted him on the shoulder with a wise and kind manner.
As a monastery supervisor, he dressed differently from other monks.
Although he is also a monk, he has short black curly hair and is wearing a beige thin sweater.
Such a modern person's attire doesn't look like an uncle in charge of the temple at all.
But who told him that this person has always been like this.As he said that, Fang Haiwen took out a mobile phone in front of the junior brother in a dignified manner, first replied to a message sent a few minutes ago, and then tilted his head and patted the junior brother on the back.
"Darling, please give me a review. People will give you a good review when they shop. I'll show you the temple for three years as if you were in a kindergarten. Don't give me a straight face."
Fang Dinghai: "..."
His kissing is really weird.
"What do you say?"
"Except Shang Ke, what else can I say."
As he said that, Fang Dinghai didn't look at his weird senior brother either.But when the two were talking, the coldness on his face seemed to be irrepressible no matter what.In the words, he always has an attitude of holding a stick in the palm of his hand towards his juniors.
"Of course, according to your standards, everyone will definitely not be able to catch up in 200 years."
Hearing his tone, Senior Brother Haiwen was very peaceful. "However, I think they have made a lot of progress, at least they can handle some big scenes. After all, this time, you told me not to tell me in advance that you are going to leave the customs, and make a surprise inspection."
The third senior brother himself reminded with a sly face at this time.
Regarding this, Fang Dinghai, the cold-faced brother represented by a 'dark belly' and 'perverted', didn't say anything, but he also acquiesced that he deliberately did not say hello to carry out a surprise attack.
"Then what they wear, and the current appearance of the temple, don't have a little bit of the appearance of the cultivation place that the master instructed back then."
But seeing that the steps of the temple were empty, Fa Seng spoke coldly with his hands behind his back,
It was also after hearing this that Fang Haiwen followed the direction where his junior brother's obviously angry eyes fell, and only then did he see what he was pointing at.
Fang Hai asked: "Hey, what happened to the decoration in our temple, isn't it very grand?"
Fang Dinghai: "What is that at the gate?"
Fang Hai asked: "There are public restrooms for men and women who are separate for the handicapped."
Fang Dinghai: "It's on the wall."
Fang Hai asked: "Air conditioner and network cable."
Fang Dinghai: "It's pasted on the merit box."
Fang Hai asked: "Alipay and WeChat QR codes."
Fang Dinghai: "What about the ground?"
Fang Hai asked: "It's not for tourists, it's the courier and takeaway from our own temple. Don't worry, it's all sent up the mountain by normal courier companies. There are absolutely no dangerous goods sent by ghosts and ghosts to trouble us."
Fang Dinghai: "...Fang Hai asked."
Fang Hai asked: "Well, I am also responsible. The main reason is that you have been going to the summit for three years to retreat. In addition to the little demons in the back mountain, the scenic spots also need to make money. I adopted some Haipeng's suggestions for temple decoration. "
The uncompromising dialogue between the two teachers and brothers, coupled with the freezing atmosphere, is too terrifying.
Faced with the attitude of his senior brother messing around with everyone, monk Fa, who had been away from the temple for three years, didn't know what to say.
Originally, he thought that with his two pillar-like senior brothers in the past three years, at least the normal order in the temple would not be disrupted.
But in reality, it seems that we are at the top of the Buddhist cultivators, and the Buddhist monks who don't care about this world think a little bit differently.
This also caused Fang Dinghai to face the thing that was about to 'invade' under his nose just after leaving the customs, and his heart was shrouded in a layer of ice, so he grabbed Ti Shi and went straight to the back of his meditation room. And went.
"Hello, Dinghai."
"I installed an air conditioner and an elderly massage chair for your meditation room, as well as a magic circle charger and eight sockets specially prepared for Di Shi. Why don't you go back and take a look."
"..."
Seeing him go, Fang Hai asked this man who was worse than a fox to return his clothes and followed him as if he hurt his junior brother.
In this regard, the tall monk in white with a dusty figure paused under the piece of amulet, and then stepped back to the back hall as he was about to return to the Zen room first.
Seeing this, his third senior brother sighed that he was ignorant, and the two of them side by side crossed half of the ginkgo tree in front of the main courtyard.
During this period, Senior Brother Hai Wen had one hand behind his back.The two of them came out of the long corridor back and forth together.
Then they walked under a ginkgo tree in the non-visit area isolated from the whole scenic spot, and walked from the front of the hall into the Zen room provided by the amulets of the abbots of the past dynasties.At this time, seeing the incense burning in the golden altar above, two people entered from the side.
As soon as these two people avoid others and come here specifically, it means that the brothers and sisters are going to talk about the real business.
In fact, Fang Dinghai's exit this time was not because he happened to have a great achievement in martial arts, or because of this school exam, but because of another "big event" that Longquan Mountain would encounter every 40 years.
"I haven't come out for three years, should I offer an incense stick to the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, masters and ancestors first?"
In front of him, his senior brother stepped in and opened the door to go in, and asked him again with a stick of incense.
"Ah."
Hearing this, Fang Dinghai raised his hand holding the Buddhist beads to take the incense sticks. This young but Buddhist monk who has always been overwhelming in Buddhism looked at his senior brother above and beside him and responded in this way.
Above, there are still dozens of tablets under the Buddha.
The one who is closest to modern times is Master Fang Mingxiang. Afterwards, the eminent monk Situ Gangan is written one after another.
It also made Fang Haiwen stand half a step behind him, looking at the backs of him and the Buddhist Zen masters of the past, and then said with his hands behind his back,
"Dinghai."
"Among the Buddhist sects, the 40-year-long Longquan Mountain Dharma Ceremony is coming soon for all Buddhist practitioners in this world. Huayan Eighteenth Sangha, Wutai Mountain Sangha, Bright Sangha and Yaoquan Seng The regiment has already responded."
——"This time, since you have decided to leave the customs, does it mean that Longquan Mountain is really ready?"
……
On this day, the entire temple ushered in the early closing of the scenic spot, and everyone also welcomed back their senior Buddhist monk who had been away for three years.
It is a good thing that people are back.But the departure of the Buddhist monk also means that the days of practicing in the past are about to begin again.But on the first day, everyone was quite nervous, for fear of another "surprise" like before.
After three days, everyone was relieved.
Because Brother Faseng is out of customs.But usually, I never go out of the main temple and meditation room.He has an indifferent attitude towards all tourist-related attractions and areas down the mountain.
Except for the day when the air conditioner and massage chair in the room were forcibly removed, the other juniors had never seen him appear again.
Hai Nie and his gang discussed this while they were sitting at the entrance of the scenic spot selling tickets and scratching their feet.Everyone agreed that Senior Brother Fa Seng was too aloof, and he hadn't seen a living person for a long time, so he refused to 'have fun with the people'.
And when these words, along the noisy scenic traffic and loudspeaker music, spread to the ears of the Buddhist monk himself, the monk himself, who had not been seen for almost three days, opened his eyes in the meditation room .
"..."
Right now, his room is cold and empty, and he is alone.Except for a futon for meditation, a Buddha head alchemy stove for refining medicine, a sitting statue of the pharmacist Liuli Tathagata on a small table, and a bed for sleeping, there is nothing.
A gauze covered with glazed beads blocked his eyes, but he couldn't show up because of two big reasons.
One, it is because compared to other temples.In the past three years, the main temple of Longquan Mountain has also undergone some changes that can be called "turning upside down".
Although, the general pattern of temple halls has not changed.But at a glance, every merit box placed in front of different Buddhist halls has been pasted with a QR code.
Fire hydrants, anti-theft doors, voice recognition code scanning exits, and walkways for the blind and disabled are installed at the gate. At the bottom near the main entrance exit, there is a well-built dual-purpose public toilet.
As we all know, the upper and lower levels of their temple have entered into modern commercialization for a long time in order to be able to operate in this world for a long time.
The foot of the mountain is a scenic spot where cars come and go.The monks in the temple usually wear modern clothes, and they often use mobile phones and computers to blow air conditioners.
The gate of the temple on the top of the mountain has a door plate except for holidays.Usually, if sightseeing cars are not prohibited, monks’ take-out and express delivery can be delivered directly to the gate of the main monastery.
Right now, in front of the main hall, there is a row of couriers that have not been dispatched by the junior nephews of the various courtyards.This pile of couriers included snacks, books, and game discs sent by Yamashita, and these monks presumably bought them spontaneously.
This also made Fang Dinghai, a brother like Fang Dinghai, who was really not used to being noisy like everyone else outside of practice, choose to stay in the meditation room every day and not go to other places in the scenic spot.
Second, it is necessary to go back to the conversation between his brother Fang Haiwen and him that day.
The last thing he and Fang Haiwen talked about that day was about this matter.
Longquan Mountain Dharma Assembly. Once every 40 years.As soon as these two keywords fell, the room between the two brothers and sisters was silent for a while, and the Buddhist hall was filled with incense, but they knew very well that this topic was the main reason for Fang Dinghai to leave the customs this time.
What is a puja?
It is an internal legal event that Zen practitioners are used to, but it is closer to a public examination among Buddhist practitioners that has continued to this day.
But this test is not limited to temples like what Fang Dinghai did, but a competition of laws against different popes in temples all over the world.It is mainly composed of worshiping and repenting, popularizing Buddha, three-time recitation, and zooming in on Mengshan.
Although in the eyes of the outside world, after thousands of years, their monks are no different from the tourists below except that they are vegetarians and bald.
But this great hermit of Longquan Mountain is hidden under the appearance of the city, but it is the origin of Buddhist Zen practice.Its orthodox root lies in the Buddhist monks of the past dynasties as supervisors to maintain and restrain disciples.
Don't look at the disciples' usual fights.When it comes to the critical moment, each of them still has the ability to make a move.
Because there are only orthodox Buddhist practitioners in the temple.Only when there is a crisis caused by demons, only monks enlightened by the Buddha can come forward to overcome the catastrophe of the world in person, which is why this kind of puja will always exist in modern society.
The Huayan Eighteenth Sangha, Wutai Mountain Sangha, Guangming Sangha, and Yaoquan Sangha just mentioned by Fang Haiwen, together with the main temple of Longquan Mountain, are the venues of the Dharma Assembly of the five major living Buddhist main temples. As usual, this time there will be a one-on-one four-day discussion at the Fa Conference, and the winner or loser is uncertain.
But in the past three reincarnations of merit and virtue, Longquan Mountain has always been the winner among the five main temples.
This is why the title of Buddhist monk is still in Longquan Mountain today.
This means that Fang Dinghai, as a Buddhist monk of this generation, must personally preside over the 40-year Dharma Assembly Ceremony in the main temple of Longquan Mountain in the next month or so, and let Buddhists from all walks of life enter Longquan Mountain for a Field Theory Law Conference.
Only after all the monks and eminent monks have finished discussing the Dharma will the new generation of Jinding leader Dharma Seng Dashi attribute the new title of Dharma Monk to that winner.
Longquanshan won.
Fang Dinghai won.
All their disciples in the temple won this dharma meeting that only the strongest disciples of the inner Buddhist sect could step into.Only the title of Buddhist monk can be retained.Otherwise, the height of Buddha cultivation left by his masters and ancestors will come to an end.
"You've made it to the summit. I shouldn't have worried about you, but this time our opponents are also the golden Arhat disciples of the Arhat Sect. Everyone who comes here should not be underestimated. Therefore, this matter is the most important thing."
"I have already thought about some things to welcome guests from far away, but in the past two nights, there are some abnormalities in the back mountain."
Fang Hai asked.
"What's abnormal."
Fang Dinghai asked without looking back.
"A strange demonic energy with color and identity of unknown origin passed through the human world again, haunting under the boundary, trying to get close to the Longquan Mountain scenic spot, but it also disappeared very quickly at night, and it was impossible to see what it was. Therefore, someone is staying In the back mountain."
"Dinghai."
"Perhaps, after the water of Longhu Lake, there will be an unknown catastrophe in Longquan Mountain."
These words made the two of them silent for a while, but they also looked at the life and death wheel that was running normally above.Neither of them knew whether the words were accurate, but Fang Dinghai's eyes seemed to have no emotion of ordinary people, and he looked directly at the reflection in the wheel of life and death like his heart that would not beat.
The face remained the same.
However, since he returned to Longquan Mountain three years ago and found the treasure of Longhu, he has returned to his status as a monk.
His monster eye has lasted for three years.Now the skills have been basically completed.
This makes the mana all over his body overshadow the majesty of the temple itself. Not only can he integrate it into the dharma body left by the Buddhist monks of the past dynasties, he can see through the true face of the world's monsters, but also makes the face of the cultivation base have a kind of Buddhism. The eminent monk's voice is empty and cold.
In the reflection, there is indeed a demonic energy in the wheel of life and death wandering among the mountains.He looked at him from below and quickly dissipated. Only then did the young monk in white speak.
"understood."
These three words represent that the duties of Buddhist monks will be fulfilled and that all of them will be busy next time.Seeing this, Fang Haiwen didn't need to say much, he nodded and asked again,
"But you just left customs, don't you want to rest for a few days?"
"You can't take a break when you have something to do. Besides, you haven't had a day off in the past three years."
Fang Dinghai also answered with his eyes closed and his hands behind his back.
"Before the official members of the monks from all parties enter Longquan Mountain this time, I would like to ask the senior brother to continue to watch the back mountain, so as to avoid some 'abnormal' taking the opportunity to harm tourists."
"Except for meeting people in my temple today, don't tell anyone. I'm in the temple now. If outsiders ask, let the disciples say that I haven't left the customs for three years."
"..."
"I'm not here, there are some 'things' that dare to come to the main temple openly, otherwise I wouldn't have tried repeatedly before." Fang Dinghai said coldly. "Whether it's a demon or a demon, you have to see the front to know what it is."
"it is good."
Standing behind him, senior brother Hai asked back, and as he spoke, he also glanced at the looming demonic energy in the wheel of life and death in front of the junior brother and the two of them.
"Then let's take care of our own positions, you and I...wait for the official arrival of the Longquan Dharma Conference after 40 years."
……
With a word from Senior Brother Haiwen, the supervisor.The news that all of them, the Buddhist monks and brothers, had just left the customs, was temporarily controlled by the temple staff.In less than a month, there will be a Dharma conference to welcome the Sangha, and a competition for the head of the new [-] Buddhist monks will be held in the five major monasteries.
This thing is really big.
Except for the group of disciples who were really young novice monks, the rest of the adult disciples were actually busy silently.
Because there are many monks coming from the outside world during this period, it is likely that demons will also be mixed in.From this day on, Longquan Mountain not only strengthened the formation on the upper and lower highways, but even Jiansi and senior brothers Kanshan disappeared again.
Brother Chi stayed in the temple to sit in charge, and the rest went to their respective positions, but the first thing they were busy with was the Dharma conference.
And it's because they, who are in charge of the house, don't come out at all.Fang Haiwen from the prison temple reminded everyone not to let outsiders know that brother Faseng is in the temple.
So to strike while the iron is hot, Haipeng, a fellow with a big heart and a fat body but with super mobility, also set up a new sightseeing spot in the scenic spot before the Fa Conference was held.
One of the scenic spots for this sightseeing, this time it is in a public area next to their founder.
It was a bodhi tree with a crooked neck. It cost 50 yuan to write a sign promising marriage and threw it on the tree. It was surrounded by a circle of iron chains that were forbidden to touch. Inside was a copper statue of Master Fang Dinghai, a 1:1 life-sized Buddhist monk. statue.
Underneath, as if he was afraid that others would know that Fang Dinghai was still alive, he wrote three big characters and a small row of his life in a very solemn atmosphere.
【Fang Dinghai】
[Male, born in 195X, from Longquan Mountain, contemporary Buddhist monk]
This bronze statue has nothing to do with Fang Dinghai himself except for his name.It is as terrible as telling all the tourists who come to Longquan Mountain that my brother has passed away this year.
Fang Haipeng, a self-proclaimed 'smart' brain melon, was very proud of this, and he almost beat the gong and turned on the electronic guide to tell everyone in the world about this scenic spot.
It's just that since the bronze statue was erected there, the traffic and sales of marriage cards have indeed increased.Everyone who comes to make a wish will get a Buddhist story told by the monks of the temple.
But what exactly is this 'mysterious' story, the protagonist himself does not know.
And just when the mountain and the mountain are as lively as usual and the scenic spots in various places.Among the fruit dining car tour buses that go up and down Longquan Mountain every day, one of them drove thousands of miles from the world into the mountains after many days——
201X
Heihe City
"Dudu-"
When a luxury car crossed half of the mountain driving out of the urban area, it passed by countless vehicles before entering the hotel on the opposite side of the mountain. Secretary He, who was trying to find a parking space after getting off the car, and another sitting in the back The people in Sagittarius also appeared here after three days.
"Boss, this is Longquan Mountain, it should be your first time here."
"..."
In this regard, Gu, who was sitting by the car window and wearing big sunglasses in broad daylight, also moved when his secretary said this, and the fingers that fell on his knees did not squeak.
His black eyes fell on the distant mountains.As a quasi-Buddha who has lived in the modern city for so long, the mountains and rivers in front of him, which are closer to a place far away, are indeed quite strange to him.
But having said that, this place has already been fully commercialized in all aspects.In front of him is a resort in the service area of Longquan Mountain Scenic Area. This is also the place that his new secretary personally chose after doing a lot of reference.
There are not only mid-level hotels and golf resorts, but also swimming pools and various hotel consumption, which has achieved complete commercialization.
On the highest point of the opposite mountain, there is a small pavilion for monks to ring the bell, which is the famous Longquan Mountain Yaoshi Temple Scenic Area.
People who live here can not only enjoy the one-on-one service of the most advanced hotel, but also can go to the main temple on the top of the opposite mountain to pay homage to the Buddha from here, within 10 minutes' drive.
Although, Secretary He didn't think that Gu Donglai suddenly said that he came here to worship Buddha just after returning to China, but whoever told his boss that he was really rich, there is a large piece of land in this kind of place, so he came here casually and said It's time to 'do business'.
And seeing him propping his head on one hand, wearing black trousers and leather shoes, his long hair tied up as usual, and a new necklace around his neck, he doesn't look like a serious tourist either.
It was also at this time that Gu Donglai looked away indifferently, put his arms on the back of his head, narrowed his eyes carelessly, and replied.
"I haven't been here, but I'm familiar with it."
"...Huh? You've heard of it before, or do you have friends here?"
Secretary He didn't know much, so he asked casually.
"No, it might have been in a dream."
With that said, Gu Donglai lazily raised his hands and patted his knees, without further explanation.He didn't answer directly whether he had friends here.
And seeing, in the distance, the main temple with a golden roof and red walls, and all kinds of flowers in front of the Buddha are planted along the way.From this point of view, there is a different kind of feeling of being far away in the sky and close in front of the eyes. Gu Donglai only recalled something at this time and asked.
"Speaking of which, did you tell me when you went up the mountain, what is the most famous local Longquan Dharma ceremony that is going to be held here recently, once every 40 years?"
"Yes, that's right, Boss, there is a saying in Buddhism that there is a Dharma meeting, and it is usually held by internal disciples and lay disciples to worship the Buddha. It should be very lively up and down the mountain by then."
Secretary He turned his head in front to answer.
"So, in the past 23 days, the temple will welcome many monk groups from different surrounding temples and religions to hold pujas for the monks in this temple?"
Gu Donglai asked again.
"Yes, but I heard that it is usually on the top of the mountain and is not open to the public, but during the period, tourists at the bottom of the mountain still sell tickets to enter incense and visit normally."
"Oh, so, I'm quite interested in that conference. It's good to have a chance to take a look. Let's see how long I can stay here during this time."
What Gu Dong said was ordinary, but it also revealed a little information about staying in the scenic spot for a few more days.
Then, this time, Gu Donglai, who actually had something to do, also explained more, got out of the car with Secretary He, and checked into the Banshan Hotel first like an ordinary mortal who came to a scenic spot for vacation.
It was rare for him to keep a low profile when he arrived, but everything that had been prepared in the hotel was fully supplied.
The night before, Secretary He didn't live on the mountain, so he drove the car down first because he didn't finish his official duties at all.Gu Donglai lived alone in a hotel suite on the top floor facing Longquan Mountain.
At night, he took a shower, and after wiping his hair for a while, he leaned against the window and looked out the window alone.
That long hair sprinkled on the sexy and strong abs and chest, the white is dazzling, and it also makes this long-haired man who has never shown his emotions and anger in front of others look a different kind of personal charm.
This room has a floor-to-ceiling balcony, and there are meals and wine on the table that the hotel has heard that investors have come to specially deliver.
This end is a commercial human scenic spot.On the opposite side is the Qing Leng ancient temple where the lights can't be seen at night, which creates a sense of distance between the two sides separating the large forest and the distant mountains.
He thought of something for a moment, remembering that when he went up the mountain during the day, he and Secretary He pretended not to know this place, and the hand and eyes holding the towel also paused for a while facing the window.
It's just that when he said that, it sounded strange, but it was true.
Although he had never been here in the physical body before, his soul had been here once, and he was quite familiar with the name.After all, when the Ksitigarbha asked him to solve the 20-day calamity of fate, he was also surprised that he had the opportunity to come here after three years.
——Longquan Mountain.
After thinking about it, this place did have a very close connection with him.But since three years ago, Gu Donglai has not heard three words in his ears.
Although after that memory, generally speaking, it is indeed a unique memory for him.
But for a ruthless and unintentional Buddhist practitioner like him, saying goodbye itself may be something that will happen in the next life.Neither he nor that person is the kind of person who would go to catch up and say hello to each other if there is no accident.
What's more, the cause and effect have already been broken.The two of them hadn't contacted each other for a long time, so this time, it didn't seem necessary.
Because this time, this catastrophe of fate would be resolved quickly by him if nothing else happened.
This idea, after three years, Gu Donglai is also firm.It was Gu Donglai who simply propped himself up on one side and sat on the dangerous and extremely cold railing thought so. He had sensed from daytime that there was a powerful and familiar magic circle in the opposite mountain before he waved his hand.
【"Yashodhara."】
With this sentence, King Peacock Ming, who came here in the form of a mortal, has already summoned his own gemstone golden bird tail magic arrow full of purple energy and wearing three thousand Buddha lights.
For a while, he was sitting on a high place, with long hair facing the big mountain Buddha from bottom to top.
