The steep mountain road winds and stretches in the mountains. Just like in the past, on this day under the warm sunshine, there are still crowds of people. Countless devout believers walk towards the temple to pay respects and worship the god Tianyin in their hearts. The monks of the temple are scattered everywhere, welcoming the people who come up. In some dangerous places on the cliffs, there are usually a few monks standing just in case. At the same time, the monk Zhike greets people coming and going with a smile on his face at the mountain gate. people, a peaceful scene
Faxiang, the disciple of Master Puhong who presides over Tianyin Temple, is also standing behind the mountain gate at the moment, watching the people coming and going to practice in his capacity. He no longer has to do these homework, but he is kind-hearted and often sees fellow monks because of people. When I'm a little busy, I'll come over to help. It's the same today.
But on this day, he seemed to be in a trance and restless, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Looking at the pious faces flashing in front of him, he put his hands together and lowered his head to recite "Amitabha" silently, knowing that A figure suddenly walked out from the crowd and stood in front of him
Dharma Prime Minister raised his eyes and was startled for a moment. It was obvious that he did not expect to see the person in front of him. Then a smile appeared on his face and he said with a smile: "We meet again, donor."
The person who came was none other than Gui Li. He was wearing a gray cloth robe and standing among the people who came to worship. He looked inconspicuous at all. The only one with some arrogance was probably the active monkey beside him.
Gui Li's face looked a bit haggard. Although he couldn't be said to be depressed, he didn't seem to have much energy. He just smiled at Faxiang and said: "Brother Faxiang, please let me know. I have something to do. I want to Meet Master Puhong"
The Faxiang smiled and said: Don¡¯t worry, Donor Zhang, the teacher has already given instructions that day. As long as you come, he will meet you no matter when and where. Please come with me." After that, the Faxiang left first.
Guili followed him silently. As he walked along, he saw numerous palaces in Tianyin Temple, incense was scattered, and it was needless to say that it was full of people, walking shoulder to shoulder.
The two walked for a while, and Gui Li suddenly said to Faxiang: "Brother Faxiang, do you really think there is a god above the blue clouds?"
Dharma Xiang was silent for a moment and said: "Donor, from my perspective as a Buddhist, there are gods everywhere in the world, but the most important thing is in everyone's heart."
Gui Li looked indifferent, looked at the people around him, and whispered: "I don't understand."
Dharma Xiang said quietly: "The donor has a rough life experience and has a deep temper. From the perspective of the young monk, if you want to find liberation, the most important thing is to 'see away' in your own heart."
The ghost has been silent for a long time, there is no speech, and the law phase is not much to say. Leading him all the way to the two people through the aisle, and went all the way to Houshan Xiaotin Temple
Arriving outside the Zen room, Dharma minister nodded to Gui Li, who stopped in understanding.
Dharma Prime Minister gently knocked on the door a few times and said: "Master, this is Dharma Prime Minister, my disciple. Today, Donor Guili went up the mountain and came to visit."
Immediately, the deep and kind voice of Master Puhong sounded in the Zen room, saying: "Please come near, Master Guili."
The Dharma Minister gently opened the door, took a step back, stretched out his arm to Gui Li, and whispered: "Donor please"
Guili nodded and walked into the Zen room. Fa Xiang followed him and walked in, closing the door behind him.
Master Puhong was still sitting on the couch meditating as usual. When he saw Gui Li, a kind smile appeared on his face, and he clasped his hands and said, "Here you are, donor."
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? off back
Master Puhong shook his head and smiled: "I have already said that the mountain gate of Tianyin Temple is wide open to you. You can come at any time. What's more, I am very happy that you come here, but I don't know what you have. What's the matter?"
Gui Li slightly hesitated, looked up at Master Puhong, and said, "Do not conceal the master, the disciples come here, there is indeed something to ask for a master."
Master Puhong said: "It doesn't matter if the donor just says it"
Gui Li hesitated to speak, as if it was a bit difficult to say, but he finally said: "Master, is there a rare treasure called the 'Samsara Disk of the Universe' in your temple?"
Master Puhong was startled, and the face of Dharma standing next to him also showed a look of surprise. The two looked at each other, and then Master Puhong nodded and said: "Yes, there is indeed such a thing in the hidden temple."
Gui Li's spirit suddenly rose. Master Puhong saw his expression in his eyes, frowned slightly and said, "May I ask, Master Gui Li, why you suddenly asked about this thing?"
Gui Li hesitated for a moment and said: "Both of you know the situation of my disciple. Ten years ago on Qingyun Mountain, one of my friends was seriously injured because of my disciple."??Still unconscious¡±
Master Puhong put his hands together and said, "Miss Baguio values ??love and righteousness, and I admire her very much."
Gui Li said: "In the past ten years, I have traveled all over the world just to save Baguio, but God has not followed people's wishes, and there has been no progress so far." After saying this, his expression did not change significantly, but The sad look in his eyes can no longer be concealed
Gui Li was silent for a while, then looked up at Master Puhong and said, "To be honest, Master, this disciple came here because he accidentally heard the words of a senior some time ago, saying that there was something magical in Tianyin Temple. The rare treasure of the Universe Reincarnation Disk has the ability to turn the invisible sun and stabilize the soul. Maybe I have a slight hope that I can save Baguio, so I came here shamelessly. I hope that the master will be compassionate and lend this treasure to his disciple. Once it is used up, , I will definitely return it in person."
At the end of the sentence, Gui Li's lips trembled slightly, and he was obviously in agitated mood. Seeing his expression changing several times, he seemed a little hesitant, but then he took two steps forward, clasped his hands, and slowly knelt down in front of Master Pu Hong.
Master Puhong was taken aback and quickly stretched out his hand, saying anxiously: "Donor, please don't do this. Get up quickly."
The Dharma Prime Minister next to him had already stepped forward to help Gui Li and pulled him up.
Master Puhong stared at Gui Li for a long time, his expression still kind, but his eyes seemed a little erratic. Obviously this treasure was of great importance to him, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
After a while, Master Puhong slowly put his hands together and said, "Donor, I have something to ask you."
Gui Li immediately said: "Master, please tell me."
Master Puhong's face looked slightly solemn and he said: "Except for the brothers of Hidden Master Lao Na, only Fa Xiang, a disciple of Lao Na, knows about the reincarnation of the universe in Tianyin Temple. This matter is quite secret, but I don't know who the benefactor mentioned. The senior who told you this matter, who was the expert who gave the advice?"
Gui Li was startled and speechless for a moment. After a long silence, he whispered: "Master, forgive me. It's not that the disciple deliberately concealed it. It was actually the senior who knew about the disciple's matter and specifically asked the disciple not to reveal his secret." His identity, so" At the end, his voice gradually became quieter, and disappointment and anxiety faintly appeared on his face. It was obvious that there was a fierce struggle in his heart, but in the end he still didn't say anything more.
Ambassador Pu Hong frowned, said nothing, lowered his head and pondered
Gui Li saw Master Puhong's expression in his eyes and felt anxious in his heart. Before he came to Tianyin Temple, he had indeed thought that if this unheard of magic weapon really had such powers, it would naturally be an extraordinary treasure. Tianyin It is only natural that the temple treasures it, but now looking at the reactions of Master Puhong and others, it seems that there is no intention to refuse, but others seem to be very concerned about the source of the news about Gui Li.
The news about Gui Li was naturally heard from Zhou Xian on the ancient road outside Heyang City that day. The longer he knew Yi Xian, the more he felt that this fortune teller who seemed to be talking nonsense was actually an unpredictable person. After Xian informed him of the news that day, he repeatedly warned him not to reveal who he was.
At this moment, Gui Li's heart was full of passion. On one side was his promise to Zhou Xian, and on the other side was his important ten-year wish. For Baguio, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he really didn't care about anything. He is willing to sacrifice to pursue it, but at this moment he can't move forward or retreat, the heaven and man are at war in his heart, and he is in agony for a while.
Fortunately, at this moment, Master Puhong suddenly sighed and said, "Well, no matter who told you, you are bound to Junior Brother Puzhi after all, and speaking of it, this treasure is also Junior Brother Puzhi. He" Master Puhong suddenly gave a bitter laugh, remained silent, stood up from the Buddha couch, looked at Gui Li and clasped his hands together and said: "Donor, come with me, I will take you to see someone."
Gui Li was startled, but when he heard that Master Pu Hong no longer pursued the source of the information, and that he wanted to borrow the treasure, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. When he bowed to the ground, his voice trembled slightly and said, "Thank you very much." Grandmaster"
Master Puhong stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "Donor, there is no need to be polite, let's go." He waved his monk's robe and walked out of the house.
Gui Li and Faxiang followed him. Gui Li couldn't help but ask: "Master, who are we going to see?"
Master Puhong said calmly: "Should the donor know that the world often calls the brothers of Hesi Lao Na together?"
Gui Li nodded and said, "Yes, the four great monks of Tianyin Temple - Hong, De, Zhi and Kong - are admired by everyone." When he said the word "wisdom", a trace of complexity flashed across his face. His appearance was even lower, and his voice was a little deeper.
Master Puhong and Faxiang both felt this, and while sighing secretly in their hearts, naturally they didn¡¯t say much.
Master Puhong put his hands together and said, "I won't talk about my third junior brother Puzhi. On that day, my fourth junior brother Pukong, you will also""I have seen it. Now the person I want to take you to see is my second junior brother Pu De."
The three of them came down from the small Tianyin Temple in the back mountain, and then walked into the noisy and incense-filled Tianyin Temple. Naturally, all the monks in Tianyin Temple along the way saw the abbot and put their hands together and saluted respectfully. Even ordinary believers, They were also overjoyed and prostrated themselves one after another. Some even regarded Master Puhong as a god and knelt down to kowtow.
Master Puhong had a pleasant face and a kind face. He walked all the way, passing the main hall, which had the largest number of people, and turned to the more remote northwest corner of Tianyin Temple. As the three of them walked forward, the figure of the disciples gradually disappeared behind them, and the surrounding area gradually disappeared. It became deserted. At the end, when Master Puhong stopped at the door of a secluded courtyard at the end of a path, there was no one around.
Gui Li looked up and saw that the small courtyard in front of him was extremely simple. The wall that was one person high had already been peeled off, and the corners were covered with moss. The small courtyard was half-covered, and everyone could clearly see the small courtyard. In the atrium of the courtyard, there are dead leaves falling all over the ground. The breeze blows from time to time, gently blowing the fallen leaves on the ground and fluttering, adding a bit of desolation and antiquity.
Above the door of the small courtyard, there is a very broken plaque with three words written on it: Jingxin Hall
Gui Li looked at the plaque silently, seemingly in a trance. Master Puhong walked into the small courtyard, with the Faxiang following behind him.
After walking a few steps, I found that Gui Li behind me didn't seem to be following. I was a little surprised. When I turned around, I saw that Gui Li was still looking at the plaque. Fa Xiang couldn't help but said strangely: "Donor Zhang, what's wrong?"
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? but
The Dharma Prime Minister looked at him one more time, shook his head and said, "Where are you, please come in, donor?"
Gui Li nodded and walked towards the depths of the small courtyard. In front of him, Master Puhong also stopped in front of a wooden house in the small courtyard and looked back at the three of them.
Gui Li stepped forward and whispered: "Disciple, I'm rude."
Master Puhong smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter." He turned around and knocked on the wooden house three times with his hands. "Amitabha, Junior Brother Pude, today I brought a The donor came to see you and disturbed my junior brother¡¯s Qing cultivation. It¡¯s a sin.¡±
A gust of breeze blew from behind Guili and others, blowing up the fallen leaves all over the sky, causing their clothes to flutter gently in front of them. The wooden door seemed to be pushed gently by the wind, making a soft "squeak" sound. Unexpectedly, no one took the initiative and slowly opened it inwards.
At the same time, an old, deep and hoarse voice came from the room, like a rusty ironware that had been left for too long, and said leisurely: "Who is it? Can you please use your big frame ah"
Master Puhong smiled slightly and walked in. Faxiang followed him. Gui Li suddenly felt nervous for some reason. He took a deep breath and then walked into the wooden house.
Although Gui Li had known that the monks in Tianyin Temple did not value worldly luxury, and the furnishings in Tianyin Temple were very simple, he was still surprised when he walked into this wooden house and how simple it was. , but there were no furnishings at all, and it was completely empty. Only one corner of the floor was covered with dry thatch. A dark-faced, skinny old monk sat there cross-legged, slowly raising his eyes to see them.
Master Puhong stepped forward and came to the old monk. Guili stood silently behind him. Looking from the side, he saw that the expressions of the old monk and Master Puhong were really different. Master Puhong looked very different. With his radiant and kind eyebrows and kind eyes, he looks solemn and dignified. No wonder countless devout believers just bowed down to worship him. In contrast, the old monk sitting in the corner can really be described as a commonly used Buddhist saying: "scumbag".
Master Puhong stood in front of the old monk and stared at him for a long time. Fang sighed slowly, sat down on the dirty ground in front of the old monk, and said calmly: "Junior brother, have we not seen each other for ten years? "
The old monk slowly clasped his hands together, his voice still hoarse, low and slow, and said: "Yes ah, senior brother has always been good?"
Gui Li was shocked when he heard this. Their senior brothers were all in the Tianyin Temple together. Although the old monk's courtyard was remote, there was no special guard from Tianyin Temple along the way. It was obviously not a retreat. After ten years, Among them, the two of them have never met, which is really incredible.
Seemingly guessing what Gui Li was thinking, Master Puhong turned to Gui Li and smiled, saying, "This is Lao Na's second junior brother Pu De."
Although Gui Li still doesn¡¯t know why Master Puhong brought him to see Master Pude, as he is the respected four great monks of Tianyin Temple and he has something to ask for, it¡¯s natural.Dare to be negligent, he quickly saluted and said: "Disciple Gui Li, I would like to pay my respects to Master Pude."
Master Pude slowly moved his eyes over and landed on Gui Li's face. His movements were very stiff and slow, and it even made people feel that even the movement of his eyes was laborious. Gui Li was very puzzled by this four great gods who moved the world. How could one of the monks be so handsome, but on his face he didn't dare to lose his etiquette at all?
Master Puhong next to him said calmly: "Junior Brother Pu De, what he practices is a branch of my Buddhist sect, called 'Kuch Zen'. People who are not very wise and brave cannot practice it. Don't look at his withered appearance now, but if In terms of spiritual practice, Junior Brother Pu De is far better than me."
The corners of Master Pude¡¯s withered face moved slightly. I don¡¯t know if it was a smile. Anyway, the change of expression was completely invisible from the outside. He said slowly: "Brother you are joking"
Master Puhong folded his hands and recited "Amitabha" in a low voice, and then said: "Junior brother, I have sinned a lot by coming to disturb Qingxiu today. I am here to apologize first, but this matter is no worse than others." At this point, he said to the ghost Li glanced at him and said, "Junior brother, do you know who he is?"
Master Pude has never left his eyes since he looked at Gui Li just now, but his eyes always seem to be so calm, and no one can tell what he is thinking.
At this moment, after listening to Master Puhong¡¯s words, Master Pude slowly said: ¡°Who is it?¡±
Master Puhong sighed softly and said: "He is Zhang Xiaofan, the young man from Caomiao Village at the foot of Qingyun Mountain who caused the injustice that Junior Brother Puzhi planted ten years ago."
"What?" For the first time, Master Pude spoke without pause, and even his expression changed slightly. After a while, he still looked deeply at Gui Li and said, "He is that child? "
I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because he spoke more and more, but the pauses in Master Pu De¡¯s words gradually became less and smoother.
