Seeing Zhiyun like this, Zhiji just wants to beat him to death! He is the only one who causes trouble, but if something goes wrong, he can't do anything! Zhizhi regretted taking Zhiyun into the temple for the first time. Wasn't this just looking for trouble
But Zhizhi also knows that it is best for Zhiyun to remain silent at this time. The more he talks, the more he makes mistakes! But intelligence cannot do nothing, it must do something.
So Zhi Zhi took a step forward and said respectfully: "This disciple is paying homage to Zen Master Baiyun. I dare not recognize what the Zen Master said. Today, when I and my junior brother were out walking, they happened to encounter a dispute between Master Fang Zheng and Brother Tong Guang. They just said a few words of justice. This shouldn’t be an exaggeration, right?”
Zen Master Baiyun didn't say anything. He looked at Zen Master Nanfeng beside him and said, "Abbot Nanfeng, Zhizhi is your disciple. It's up to you to solve the problem."
Zen Master Nanfeng, who had high cheekbones, nodded slightly, and then said sternly: "Zhizhi, up to now, do you still want to get away with it? Just now, several disciples came to us to complain. We have already cleared up the whole story of this matter. Chu, are you still quibbling here? Master Fang Zheng may have wronged you, Zen Master Hongyan may have wronged you, so can those monks who are strangers to you also wrongly accuse you?”
When Zhi Zhi heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. He thought that this matter was between him and Fang Zheng, but he never thought that someone would actually complain! In his heart, he greeted the other party's eighteen generations of ancestors. This is too nosy! Who did he provoke
However, Zhi Zhi still gritted his teeth and said: "Master, I have no enmity with Master Fangzheng, so there is no reason to target him... But I know my mistake, and I should not interfere in other people's affairs without investigating clearly."
Zhi Zhi admitted his mistake. According to Zhi Zhi's previous experience, this matter is almost over. He won't be able to escape the punishment, but it won't be too severe.
"At this time, are you still shirking your responsibilities?" Master Nanfeng's eyes were full of disappointment, and then he said: "I gave you a chance before, but you are so stubborn. It seems that what Zhiyong and others said before It’s true. Hey…”
Zhi Zhi's heart trembled. He knew that many people in the temple knew about his activities and had complained openly or covertly, but Zen Master Nanfeng never believed him. According to Nanfeng, Zhiyong and the others might have complained about what happened today. While he was angry, he also knew that today was going to be dangerous.
Zhi Zhi said quickly: "Master, disciple..."
"Amitabha." Zen Master Nanfeng interrupted Zhi Zhi's words, turned around and said to the slightly fat monk next to him: "Zen Master Xiaguang, this disciple of the poor monk is stubborn, please let Tongguang come out and talk about it."
Hearing this, Zhizhi was shocked. Tongguang knew everything. If he were to be sold, something would really happen!
Zhiyun was also anxious and glanced at Tongguang stupidly.
Seeing this scene, Zhi Zhi really wanted to beat him to death! There are so many people here, who can’t see the look in your eyes? At this time, even if Tongguang wanted to help them, he didn't dare to help them. He was heading towards a dead end!
Sure enough, after Tong Guang saw this look, he shook his head secretly: "I'm so confused, how can I cooperate with such a fool? Such people can't go far. The master is very smart and can't be deceived, so he might as well admit it. "
Thinking of this, Tongguang stepped forward and said: "Master, the disciple is guilty. Last night, Junior Brother Zhizhi called the disciple and said that he had something to ask for. According to what he said, he had a dispute with a monk last night, and he was unhappy and had thoughts. It didn't make sense, and I wanted my disciples to help punish him, and the idea came to an end. So, we discussed it and decided to make it difficult for Master Fangzheng to stay in the temple. It would be best to drive him away and not allow him to participate in the Dharma assembly... "
After hearing what Tongguang said, Zhizhi let out a long sigh, knowing that everything was over!
After Guang Guang finished speaking, Zen Master Nanfeng looked at Zhi Zhi and said, "Zhi Zhi, do you have anything else to say?"
Zhizhi said: "Disciple realizes his mistake, but this matter cannot be entirely blamed on him. Master Fangzheng bullied his disciple and junior brother last night, and it's really hard to let go of his heart."
Zen Master Nanfeng looked at Fang Zheng, clasped his hands, and said politely: "Master, may I ask what happened last night? Can you tell me in person?"
Fang Zheng returned the greeting, but before he could speak, he heard someone shouting from the side: "Master Nanfeng, we have all seen what happened last night. Master Fang Zheng did not provoke your two disciples at all. It was your two disciples who took the initiative." He was in trouble. He scolded Master Fangzheng for bringing a woman to a hotel, his behavior was immodest, and he was a fake monk. He wanted to use the power to pressure people because he was from the Nanfeng Temple, and what he said was ugly. In the end, Master Fangzheng asked him , what is a big temple and what is a small temple? Zhizhi said that a temple with a large area and many monks is a big temple, and the opposite is a small temple. "
Hearing this, Master Nanfeng's beard almost became angry, and he glared at Zhi Zhi, with an obvious meaning: Who taught you this? Full of nonsense!
Zhi Zhi lowered his head in shame.
Zen Master Xiaguang smiled and said, "What about Master Fangzheng?"
"Master Fangzheng said that the other party did not understand Buddhism, so he turned around and left. He refused to give in and insisted on asking for the truth. Master Fangzheng said: How can temples be divided into big and small? Worshiping the Buddha is not limited to a small space, but sincerity is enough, and the size of the temple is the same. "It doesn't matter how many monks there are." The man said immediately.
"Amitabha!" Zen Master Xiaguang, Zen Master Baiyun, and Zen Master Nanfeng looked at each other, clasped their hands together, and saluted the other side: "Master, I have received your advice."
Fang Zheng looked around. Finally, no one was trying to steal his words, so he hurried away. He couldn't bear this gift, and he didn't believe that these three people didn't understand this. Most of the three people did this to be seen by others, taking the opportunity to educate their disciples and let them understand the principles of the size of the temple.
Fang Zheng returned the courtesy and said, "The abbots are too polite."
The man continued: "By the way, when Zhiyun and Zhizhi went upstairs, they broke the bag in their hands, and there was still beer in it!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar! A monk still drinks? If you are a foreign monk, or a monk from some special place, drinking alcohol is understandable. But Nanfeng Temple obviously does not allow monks to drink. These two guys are really not good birds!
Zen Master Nanfeng knew about the two drinking. Last night, after Zhiyun was beaten, he also admitted his mistake. I thought that was the case, but now it seems that the problem is far more than that!
At this moment, someone jumped out again and shouted: "Zen Master Nanfeng, these two disciples of yours are nothing. They usually bully others!"
"Yes, the disciples in our temple have been bullied by them!"
"They also forced us to pay!"
"These two bastards went to the bar yesterday and I saw them."
"That Zhiyun was holding a woman in his arms. If it wasn't inconvenient, he might have gone to bed..."
