1397 Discussing Buddhism with Murong Ying
The welcoming monk of Tianlong Temple went out in person and introduced everyone into Tianlong Temple.
The temple is paved with white bluestone bricks, and the bricks are printed with Buddhist lotus flowers, giving the temple an aura of sacredness. The temple is quite large, but there are not many monks. After entering, the eight stupas became clearer, as if the eight Arhat Vajras were guarding this place! Everyone looked around, observing the Tianlong Temple. Abel also lowered his voice and chatted with Elizabeth.
"This place must have a history of thousands of years."
"Such a long history and culture should be left to our empire to take care of."
"Yes, only the empire is qualified to preserve such precious history and culture."
Abel said proudly, "Leave it to them, the Chinese, and they will only be ruined."
"But...how do we protect this place?"
"Isn't our aircraft carrier here? I'll tell the commander later and let the aircraft carrier practice near Bol Island all year round!"
Everyone came all the way to the Main Hall, where many monks were already standing here, forming a group. And an old monk wearing a golden-red cassock and holding a Zen staff in his hand was standing there, motionless, like a statue.
As if he felt the crowd coming in, he slowly opened his eyes, and a pair of small eyes burst with endless brilliance. Li Fan couldn't help but feel his heart beating wildly. Good guy, how could a thin old monk have such terrifying eyes? This man seemed thin, old, and frail. But his temples on both sides were bulging high. It seemed that this old monk was also a master of internal kung fu.
"A...Mi...Tuo...Buddha..."
The old monk recited the Buddha's name. The sound was not loud, but it resounded throughout Tianlong Temple, deafening and lingering for a long time.
Abel and the others all changed their expressions. They didn't take the old monk seriously at first, but they didn't expect that just his name of Buddha could have such power!
I never expected that... a temple in a paradise could also be a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are hidden! Abel couldn't help but take a second look at the monks holding long sticks around him, guessing their true strength.
He said he was here to save the world, but instead of seeing the devil, he met a group of powerful monks first... What kind of thing is this
"Dear benefactors, I am really grateful that you came all the way to seal the Nine-tailed Divine Fox."
The old monk raised one hand in front of him and made a Buddhist salute, with a look of gratitude on his wrinkled face.
"Everyone, this is Zen Master Tianyin! The abbot of Tianlong Temple, the great master, profound Buddhist teachings, and the current living Buddha!"
Li Zheng introduced it to everyone.
"Amitabha... You are praising me. Buddhism is boundless. I only have a little understanding of it. The road to learning Buddhism is still very long."
"that's right."
Murong Ying snorted, "You, an old monk, talk about Dharma behind closed doors, it's really true! You should study more of Dharma!"
"Why are you talking to the abbot?"
The head of the monastery next to him glared and scolded fiercely, "Buddha is destined to be a person, do you think anyone can hear the abbot's Dharma?"
"That's right, Fodu has a destined person."
Murong Ying caught these words and continued, "But when I come here today, I have a destiny with Buddha and this Tianlong Temple. Not just us, everyone who comes to Tianlong Temple has a destiny with Buddhism! Is it true that you leave the person you are destined to have a relationship with and just close the door and talk about Buddhism on your own?"
As the leader of the martial arts alliance, Murong Ying is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also has extensive research on Buddhism. She had always been friends with the abbot of the Shaolin Temple, and occasionally liked to talk about Buddhism. When she saw these selfish monks in front of her who talked about cultivating Buddhism, she was naturally furious.
Murong Ying is usually taciturn, but once she gets serious, she is unreasonable and unforgiving. Li Fan usually suffers from this, so this time he simply pretended to be mute and just listened to Murong Ying's argument with the monk.
"You girl, how dare you act so arrogantly in our Tianlong Temple!"
The leader of the Discipline Academy has a hot temper. He blows his beard and glares, and wants to "teach" Murong Ying a lesson.
"Wait!"
Zen Master Tianyin frowned and shouted in a low voice, "Junior Brother Tianque, what do you want to do?"
"Abbott, I'm going to teach this girl a lesson and make her speak arrogantly in my Buddhist pure land!"
When Tian Que raised his inner strength, the monk's robes on his body bulged out, making everyone tremble with fear.
Good guy... another master!
"Amitabha, you are also fascinated!"
Zen Master Tianyin couldn't help but give some advice to his ill-tempered junior brother, "The female donor is right. It's my fault that I closed the door to teach the Dharma. I don't know the Dharma well, so I would like to ask the female donor to give me more advice."
"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good."
Seeing Zen Master Tianyin lower his head, Murong Ying was a little satisfied. The things she decides must be divided into high and low levels.
"It seems that this female benefactor also has some research on Buddhism. How about staying at my Tianlong Temple for two more days to have tea and talk about Buddhism with me?"
Li Fan raised his eyebrows, could this old monk steal someone from him? Murong Ying has her own time on the island!
"Sorry, I'm here to seal the devil. Let's talk about the Buddha's affairs after it's over."
Murong Ying cupped her hands and said sorry.
"Yeah, it's time for you two to finish talking, right?"
Elizabeth was a little dissatisfied, "Are we, a group of people, chatting here with you two?"
"makes sense."
The monk nodded, "In that case, let me tell you the rules this time."
"Master monk, if you don't follow the rules, we are here to help!"
Elizabeth was very dissatisfied, "Why do you have to follow your rules when helping? What's the point?"
"You, the female benefactor, have a lot to do!"
Tian Que scolded, "For your own good, just listen to what I say. Where do you come from so many words! If you ask again, just ask about the stick in the poor monk's hand first!"
"Junior brother, no."
Zen Master Tianyin held down his junior brother's long stick and said, "It is normal for several donors to have doubts. How can you be violent?"
"It would be fine if they were being polite, but they are all so arrogant and don't take our Tianlong Temple seriously at all!"
Tianque Quepo said unhappily, "Abbott, if you don't teach them a lesson, they don't know how high the sky is!"
"It's nonsense and you won't back down."
Zen Master Tianyin scolded his fiery junior brother, and then said politely to Li Fan and the others, "Guys, I know that you have good intentions. I am grateful to you for exterminating demons and defending the Tao. But the Demon Sealing Hill is extremely dangerous. , demons are rampant, and there is miasma protection, if ordinary people go, it will be a waste of life, it is really not worth it. The purpose is to save people, why add more dead souls?"
"Even so, the abbot is doing it for your own good, so don't overestimate your capabilities."
Tianque is a straight-laced person, and he speaks very directly.
"The headmaster also told us before, Great Zen Master, you might as well tell us how to test us?"
Abel finally spoke.
