At the beginning, Duan Jiaze thought that Lu Ya's idea of pretending to be a Buddhist sect was a good idea, but firstly, he didn't expect that Lu Ya's level was too high, and secondly, he didn't expect that a real monk would appear at this moment.
Duan Jiaze murmured: "I won't come to pay homage all the time in the future... We are a serious zoo."
It is said that if people in this cultivation world come to old age, one day they find out that they are either a great virtue or a resident of the immortal world who descended to the earth, wouldn't they scare themselves to death.
Bai Suzhen put one hand on Duan Jiaze's shoulder, and said softly: "Director, even if the monk wants to come here often, we have to see if the Linshui Temple agrees."
With Linshui Temple, it is impossible for other religions and sects to reside permanently in Donghai City. This is where the French descendants of a major sect of Taoism reside. Even if Linshui Temple agrees, other sects will also have opinions.
Lu Ya and Bai Suzhen were originally pretending to be Buddhist masters, but now Bai Suzhen raised her voice and said in a very calm voice: "The layman devotes himself to practicing at home, and does not get involved in karma. The master can visit after a hundred years."
Duan Jiaze's black line: "Sister Bai..."
Bai Suzhen was looking at him inexplicably, but she listened to him and said dully: "A hundred years... even a poor monk can't live."
Bai Suzhen: "..."
Oh, I don't understand enough, I suddenly forgot that the practitioners at this time are too weak.
As usual, he is extremely wronged, he is already sixty years old, not to mention a hundred years, even if he is halved, he may not be able to live a full life.
Bai Suzhen: "That's the end of your fate as a layman."
Is it all because of this, is it just a little bit of fate listening to Zen in the bamboo forest after a few years
Zhao Xing was stunned, could it be that his relationship with Buddhism was not deep enough, so he could only stop.
Xiong Siqian sighed: "Master, this is not bad, he usually doesn't see people."
Xiong Siqian himself was completely confused about the situation, but he could tell that Bai Suzhen was talking about Lu Ya, so he comforted him casually and agreed. Lu Ya didn't become a Buddha, he just hang around for a while, so naturally he won't be interested in "supporting the younger generation".
Zhao Xing bowed his head sadly.
Duan Jiaze saw that the monk seemed to have given up, and gave Bai Suzhen a thumbs up. The monk was still a good fool, talking about fate, and then said: "Old Xiong, take the mage to your place to rest for a night."
It was so late, Duan Jiaze was too embarrassed to drive the old monk out.
…
Xiong Siqian greeted him to eat as usual, carelessly, for him, of course, he would not feel how disappointed he missed the opportunity to ask an eminent monk for the Dharma. He used to see the eminent monk every day.
"Wait a minute, I'll report a letter." Zhao Xing first sent a WeChat message to the abbot in frustration, "Brother, I plan to go back to the temple tomorrow. There is a hermit in the East China Sea. Staying here, receiving his legacy, enlightened in the forest. However, the layman said that if I have the chance, it will be a hundred years later, and I will not be able to meet and ask the Dharma today, so I'd better go back and study."
As usual, he is not a greedy person. He regrets not being able to meet that great virtue, but he will not be obsessed.
After sending the WeChat message, I put down my worries and started to eat vegetarian food openly.
However, as usual, after all, I just abandoned the elderly phone and switched to a smart phone not long ago, so I am not very proficient in operation, and I was in a bit of a mood just now, so I didn't realize that I sent the wrong frame.
So, at nearly nine o'clock in the evening, more than a hundred people in the "Huaxia Buddhist Association Standing Director Group" received a voice group message from the head monk of Wuliang Temple, Master Zhaoxing.
Master Zhao Xing is a contemporary eminent monk. He just joined the group recently. This seems to be the first time he has spoken. I heard that he is going out to practice recently. I don’t know what his opinion is. Whether he is making his own interpretation of the Buddhist issues discussed earlier Woolen cloth
With such thoughts in mind, many directors clicked on the voice message, and then heard the voice saying with a touch of depression: "... There is a reclusive great virtuous man in the East China Sea... who was left behind... epiphany... a hundred years later..."
Directors: ? ! !
…
After eating the vegetarian meal as usual, and thanking Xiong Siqian again, he found that the phone seemed to be out of battery, so he asked where the socket was and plugged in the charger for his phone.
It was also at this time that after turning on the phone again, Zhao Xing realized that his brother had sent him a lot of messages and missed calls.
Master Jishan: Brother, is that true
Master Jishan: Brother! ! You quickly withdraw the message!
Master Jishan: Brother, what are you doing
Master Jishan: Too late...
Zhao Xing exited in a daze to take a look, only to be surprised to find that he seemed to have made a mistake. He sent the WeChat message that he originally intended to send to his brother to the Buddhist Association director group.
——After posting the message according to the letter, usually after the mage speaks, the others will reply with some face. At this moment, the last message is still according to the letter. The usually lively WeChat group is quiet, as if no one is there See this message.
Follow the line: "..."
—
The next day, Duan Jiaze got up to eat breakfast, and prepared a copy for the old monk.
"Amitabha, thank you Director Duan." Zhao Xing took the plain bun with a guilty conscience, and looked at Duan Jiaze with some embarrassment. Last night, he and his brother sent WeChat for a long time, because he shared a room with Xiong Siqian, so he had to write by hand, so it took a long time.
After listening to Zhaoxing's description of the situation, Jishan asked him to stay in Lingyuan temporarily. He was going to hold an emergency meeting there, and then he would take the high-speed train to Donghai City.
Wuliang Temple is indeed a temple with a low commercial atmosphere and the largest number of serious Buddhist practitioners, but because of this, Jishan pays more attention to the rare great virtue.
Ji Shan heard that this great virtuous person in the world could infect the bamboo forest with the breath of meditation, and then affect monks of the level of Zhao Xing, which shows how profound the Dharma is.
What's more, he actually mentioned a hundred years later. Doesn't it prove that this great virtue has a long-lost method of prolonging life and longevity
The junior disciple was so stupid that he didn't even think that although he didn't have enough predestined relationship, there are still so many monks in Wuliang Temple. What if there are one or two monks who have a predestined relationship with the Dharma
I hate my junior brother for sending the wrong message. I'm afraid everyone has the same idea now.
Whether it is the profound Buddhist teachings or the technique of prolonging life, it is enough to wipe out all kinds of monks in the world of practice. Not only their Zen sect, monks from other sects will definitely be tempted. Monks in this era are very flexible in their minds.
Jishan has been the abbot for so long. While practicing Buddhism, he started as a director of the Buddhist Association and has just assumed the chairmanship. He has seen more things than he did.
Therefore, Ji Shancai asked not to leave for the time being. In any case, Wuliang Temple must at least seize the opportunity.
Having said that, I was a little embarrassed to follow such an order from Jishan.
The monks don't lie, how can he find an excuse to tell Director Duan that he wants to stay
Seeing that he was silent, Duan Jiaze became even more curious, "Master, what's the matter with you?"
Do you want to borrow money from him? Look at this old embarrassed look.
He was in a hurry, and he didn't want to make up nonsense—not to mention how to use the art of language to avoid lying and achieve his goal—he had to stay and complete the abbot's instructions. Where can I buy a ticket, I want to visit the zoo today."
After saying this, Zhao Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he also had a flash of inspiration, thinking of such a way.
Duan Jiaze gave him a strange look, but he didn't take it seriously, he just thought that the monk wanted to spend more time listening to the bamboo forest meditation. After hearing Bai Suzhen's words last night, Duan Jiaze felt much more relieved, and he was not afraid that the monk would find someone. You have to go through Linshui Temple to find someone.
Duan Jiaze pointed the monk to the ticket office and went to do his own business.
On his side, he has completed all the tasks. After red-crowned cranes, swans and other animals, Duan Jiaze talked about egrets, hoopoe, several woodpeckers, leopard cats, elk (level 1), etc. After doing the math, Now there are only two second-class protected animals, and the task is completed, and the total number is far exceeded.
But now there is still some time left for the mission, Duan Jiaze is thinking about what to introduce for the last two, and he is searching the Internet to see which animals are more popular and the price is within his acceptable range.
…
He bought the ticket as he said, and wandered around the zoo. He didn’t know anyone. He wanted to talk to that Layman Xiong last night to talk about Buddhist scriptures, but he couldn’t find it anyway. Stay here and go to work during the day.
When I visited, I found that the spirituality of the animals here is far better than that of the outside world. After what happened last night, I will not be surprised. These animals must have stayed by the Dharma all the year round. Maybe they were lucky enough to listen to his lectures , and this has a relatively high spiritual intelligence.
But Zhao Xing still couldn't figure it out, why did this great virtuous man choose to practice in the zoo? If you look at the scenery here, there is no need to live in a zoo, right
After thinking about it, he followed the crowd to the canine animal exhibition hall without knowing it.
Other tourists looked at this old monk. There are Taoist priests in Donghai City, but monks have never been, let alone monks who visit the zoo.
After walking into the exhibition hall, Zhao Xing immediately understood. He saw a red fox jumping up and down in the cage. The red fox was full of monsters, and it was clearly a spirit with a climate.
However, at this moment, the spirit was in the cage. I thought to myself, is it possible that this great virtue is in the zoo for the convenience of catching monsters and doing good deeds
According to the practice, Dade subdued the monster and put it beside him to chant sutras for effect. In order not to attract doubts from the forestry department in modern society, he simply stayed in the zoo...
According to the practice, it seems to make sense, practitioners don't have to live in deep mountains and old forests, water and electricity are so convenient, who wouldn't want something comparable to spells? It's not convenient to live far away and get out of the traffic.
As usual, he just went to observe the red fox, but he didn't realize that there was a pure white arctic fox watching him quietly behind him.
…
…
On the other hand, almost all Buddhist sects in the practice world became restless.
This incident shocked them too much, a great virtue born in the world! The kind that can prolong life!
As usual, I don’t know how to surf the Internet, but other people do. First of all, I searched Lingyuan online, and immediately popped up the address of the group buying website—it can even sell joint tickets with Linshui Guan.
This door was also involved, not to mention what role they played, this just proved the authenticity of Zhao Xing's WeChat account.
So, I don’t know how many temples have similar scenes. Organize a few qualified or potential disciples to buy high-speed rail tickets to Donghai City. Field is also good, right
There are also some people who feel that their relationship is relatively in place, such as Wuliang Temple, who even called Linshui Temple to inquire about Lingyuan.
Without Lu Ya's permission, Zhou Xintang naturally kept his mouth shut and did not reveal anything. And as more and more people inquired, Zhou Xintang also felt something was wrong.
At this time, Zhou Xintang also received news that many monks were already on their way to Donghai City!
Among these monks, some met each other on the high-speed rail. When they met each other, they all knew the purpose and went to study.
Passers-by were also quite surprised. Those who didn't know thought that the monks were about to hold a meeting.
With so many monks coming to Donghai City at the same time, Zhou Xintang became nervous. He called the members of the management committee to discuss and agreed that they should be stopped at the high-speed rail station.
Donghai City has a certain meaning to Taoism. So many monks hurriedly gathered in Donghai City, and many of them have not yet greeted Linshui Temple.
Regardless of whether it is related to Lingyuan or not, Zhou Xintang can't let people into the city. Will the face of Linshui Temple still exist after entering the city
But Zhou Xintang was also more tactful. He directly found a relationship and asked the railway department to "keep" all these monks at the high-speed railway station—it is impossible for the people to see Taoist priests and monks clashing.
Zhou Xintang is a local snake. Even if there are eminent monks among the monks, they are still from other places, so they can't speak.
More and more monks were left behind. In the end, the offices and corridors of the high-speed rail station were full of monks.
Everyone here is outstanding, so they all know each other more or less. When newcomers arrive, everyone recognizes their faces and greets them.
This staff member was acting according to the order, but now he couldn't help feeling furious. These are real monks and fake monks, what are so many people doing
Amitabha Buddhas come and go, with accents from all over the world, and most of the monasteries they belong to are different on the certificates. Some are famous and some are not. When they meet each other, they all show tacit expressions... The psychological burden on the staff is huge up.
However, as more and more monks arrived in Donghai City, some of them turned their own relationships and found someone to deliver a message to the leaders of Donghai City or even the provincial capital.
After this one after another, the leader couldn't sit still, so he called Linshui Temple to inquire. They were in a dilemma, and they couldn't afford to offend either side. But Linshuiguan is a local snake after all, and the leader still hopes that they can take action to resolve it.
What happened to this monk and Taoist priest
Zhou Xintang was also under a lot of pressure. The Linshui Temple used the power of one family to fight against most of the Buddhist schools in the practice world.
At this time, some monks have already questioned him. Could it be possible that Linshui Temple also wants to take advantage of the senior? No, maybe it's already taken. Seeing that the joint ticket is selling so well, it's really flattering.
…
As time passed by, Zhou Xintang couldn't take it anymore, so she had to contact Duan Jiaze to ask for advice on what to do.
Originally, Duan Jiaze didn't talk to him, and he didn't dare to look for it. Who is to say that the trouble is too big now, Zhou Xintang has tried his best, and now he has to ask, after all, Layman Lingyu Lu is the source of the matter.
How could he have imagined that Duan Jiaze was not as clear about the current situation as he imagined.
Duan Jiaze's face became more and more perturbed the more he heard it, and he was dumbfounded when he finally heard about the number of monks, "Why are there so many monks in temples?"
According to normal logic, whoever picks up the bargain will tell his own people. Who knew that this monk didn't play cards according to common sense, took advantage of himself, and called his colleagues all over the world to take advantage of it!
Duan Jiaze didn't care if one temple or two temples stopped Linshuiguan, but dozens or hundreds of temples...? Duan Jiaze was completely speechless.
"Sister Bai, Yousu, what do you think, now there are so many monks coming to Donghai City... I don't know what happened to the monk last night. He seems to have notified all the monks in the world, and I don't know why they are so united," Duan Jiaze The corner of his mouth twitched, "Right now, hundreds of monks are blocked at the high-speed rail station by people from Linshuiguan looking for connections. The two sides are fighting each other. Taoist Zhou asked me for advice."
He explained the problems and difficulties of Linshui Temple to them in detail.
Yousu: "Wow, do you all want to join the luxury ticket package?"
Duan Jiaze: "..."
Duan Jiaze: "Sister, stop joking..."
Bai Suzhen and Yousu looked at each other, and suddenly said together in a tacit understanding: "It's okay, let's let nature take its course!"
Duan Jiaze: "Now that it's developed like this, how can we let nature take its course?"
Bai Suzhen said: "I can't stop it, but the two governments have their own governments to mediate, and the Buddhist gate is not allowed to enter without permission. We can only be invited to the East China Sea by the Linshui Temple in the official name, so that both parties can be considerate."
Yousu crossed his legs and continued: "The monk is going to the East China Sea, if he wants to come to Lingyuan, why not? Just buy a ticket!"
Duan Jiaze: "..."
Now that things are developing like this, there is no need to hide it, it is better to turn trouble into profit.
Anyway, no matter Lu Ya, Bai Suzhen or Xiong Siqian here, they are all enough to support their current identities. They have already taken advantage of the Daoist sect, so are they afraid of the Buddhist sect
Duan Jiaze: "Yes, this is perfect!"
…
The next day, Donghai TV suddenly reported a piece of news.
On the screen, a group of monks, accompanied by Taoist priests and leaders of relevant departments in suits, stepped out of Donghai High-speed Railway Station, smiling...
Voiceover:
The seven-day National Inter-Religious Exchange Forum was held in Donghai City, hosted by the National Taoist Association, organized by the Donghai City Religious Affairs Bureau, and co-organized by Donghai City Linshui Temple.
