Fang Zheng finally understood that he was too gentle!

The monkey said impatiently: "Do you still have that kind of rice balls? If not, I have to go! Really, this middle of the night, just thinking about the rice balls, I can't sleep."

Fang Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "Still want to eat? It's gone!"

"Really gone?" Monkey obviously didn't trust Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng looked at the monkey's bastard look and really wanted to slap him on his ass. Now Fang Zheng finally understood why Tathagata would suppress Sun Wukong. Monkeys are really easy to make people angry. Fang Zheng waved his hand and said: "At least it's gone now. Monks don't lie and people don't lie. Why would you lie to a monkey like you?"

"Trash, not even a rice ball." After the monkey finished speaking, he twisted his butt and ran away.

Fang Zheng was so angry that he really wanted to give him a slap in the air. Why was this monkey talking so irritatingly

Back in the Zen room, Fang Zheng went to bed and said nothing all night.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, the whole Baiyun Temple was in a state of excitement. The abbots and disciples of various temples came out one after another, shouting and shouting. Fortunately, Fang Zheng was used to getting up early, so he wasn't angry at all and went out to follow around.

The general framework of the Spring Festival Prayer Assembly has been arranged for a long time. Today, there are just some simple arrangements. As a bell rings, the gate of Baiyun Temple opens.

At that moment, Fang Zheng was dumbfounded! I thought that during the Chinese New Year, the scene of two to three hundred people in Yi Zhi Village would be spectacular enough, but looking at it now, it is simply incomparable!

Outside the gate of Baiyun Temple, countless people stood in a dark crowd. As soon as the gate opened, under the guidance of the monks, they all rushed in with a roar! For a moment, the voices of men bragging, women complaining, and children crying could be heard endlessly. The scene was in chaos, and Fang Zheng’s head was so big!

Fortunately, the monks in Baiyun Temple are used to this kind of battle, and they control the situation in an orderly manner. Although it is noisy, it is not chaotic, and everything is in order. Fang Zheng had to admire this, at least he couldn't do this. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "As expected of Baiyun Temple, this kind of organizational ability is really strong..."

As he said this, a look of confidence rose in Fang Zheng's eyes. He didn't think the plaque at the entrance of Yi Zhi Temple was of any use before, but now he compared it. Fang Zheng finally understood the magical effect of the special function of the plaque. Anyone who enters the temple will be affected by the plaque. No matter how depressed they are, they will calm down. No matter how irritable their temper is, they will calm down. They will even be more respectful towards Buddha. Feeling awe.

Of course, this effect is limited and not absolute. If the other party does not believe in Buddhism at all, or is lazy at heart, or has been deceived by others, the effect will not be great.

Even so, this plaque can save Fang Zheng a lot of trouble.

"Nowadays, all the magical instruments in the temple are not perfect. If they are perfect in the future, they will definitely surpass Baiyun Temple easily." For the first time, Fang Zheng felt absolutely confident in his heart!

This is the benefit of coming out. You have never seen the world, you never know how strong you are, and you never know how big the outside world is.

After passing the mountain gate of Baiyun Temple, there are bell tower and drum tower on both sides.

Further inside is a square with Luohan trees planted on both sides of the square, with lush branches and thick trunks, and signs hanging on them. The trees are as old as eighty years!

Directly across from this square is the Main Hall of Baiyun Temple. The Third Buddha is enshrined in the Main Hall. There is a large bronze cauldron at the door. Incense is slowly rising inside the cauldron, and green smoke reaches the sky...

The square was filled with futons and red lines were drawn around it. Pilgrims were not allowed to enter the red lines and could only watch outside the red lines.

Fang Zheng walked around and saw a monk calling out the names of major temples. Whichever temple he called, he entered the square and sat down according to the position arranged two days ago. Fang Zheng walked over curiously and watched the excitement.

At this moment, a young monk shouted: "Jinzhu Temple!"

Then a familiar person appeared in Fang Zheng's sight, it was Hong Jing who had targeted him before. Fang Zheng was deeply impressed by Hong Jing. He said he was a master, but he was not a master in his heart. This Hong Jing had given him a lot of trouble before, so he was naturally very impressed. But now, it was not the time to retaliate, Fang Zheng just watched.

At this moment, a young monk on the side suddenly came forward, put his hands together in salute, and then asked respectfully: "Hello, Abbot Fangzheng, I don't know something about this poor monk, can you tell me?"

Fang Zheng was shocked that a monk actually asked him for advice? I'm afraid he may not know more than others... But Fang Zheng couldn't refuse, so he returned the courtesy and said with a smile: "Amitabha, this Master is too polite. The poor monk is also on the way to seek knowledge, and he doesn't know many things. However, If this poor monk knows, he will definitely tell me."

The young monk was stunned. He did not expect that the legendary mage Fang Zheng, who crossed the river with a reed, was actually as humble as the rumors said. Suddenly his nervous mood relaxed a lot, and he asked: "Abbot Fangzheng, look at this Jinzhu Nunnery. They are all men. Why is it called Jinzhu Nunnery and not Jinzhu Temple?"

When Fang Zheng heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He really knew this, so he smiled and said: "Amitabha, temples, monasteries, and nunneries are easily confused by many people. In fact, this is not the case. Temples are dedicated to ghosts and gods, and temples and nunneries are dedicated to gods and Buddhas. . And temples and nunneries are different.

From an architectural point of view, there is a main hall in the temple, but not in the nunnery. No matter how big the nunnery is, it cannot be called a temple without the main hall. Of course, some places now don’t abide by this rule, so that’s another matter.

From a functional point of view.

The temple is a place for monks to practice and live, for pilgrims to offer incense, and for monks to preach to pilgrims and relieve their worries.

The nunnery is mostly a place where monks conduct religious activities, and outsiders are generally prohibited from entering. Because bhikshunis, also known as nuns, are women after all. It is not convenient for outsiders to disturb them during their practice, so they usually live in a nunnery. After a long time, people think that the nunnery is where nuns live.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there are men in Jinzhuan. "

When the young monk heard this, he suddenly understood and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, abbot, for clarifying my doubts. May I ask, abbot, what is in the Huayan Sutra..."

When he heard the three words "Huayan Sutra", Fang Zheng's heart trembled. He didn't need to listen anymore. He definitely couldn't answer it. He hadn't read it! Just when Fang Zheng was thinking about how to fool him into passing the test.

"One Finger Temple!" The monk who was reading his name in the distance reached Fang Zheng's temple. Fang Zheng was relieved and he was amnesty. However, he pretended to be calm on his face and said to the young monk appropriately: "Amitabha, this poor monk will go over first. If you don't understand anything, you can ask your master. I believe that he will give you a satisfactory answer." of."

After saying that, Fang Zheng quickly left.
