Taoist temple in the mountains

Chapter 223, Commandments

The green smoke rises, it is comfortable and quiet, even though there are many businessmen and dignitaries admiringly worshiping, it is very quiet, and Zhengming Temple, which is also crowded with people, is not so quiet, there are more clicks of camera shutters, Although popular, but also a little more impetuous.

There is no impetuousness in this Dalin Temple, except that it does not have the pure heart and ethereal effect that comes with the Sanqing Temple, the general feeling is exactly the same,
"A big temple is a big temple. It doesn't lose its popularity, but at the same time it is inexplicably quiet. Sure enough, this corporate culture is worth learning from." Li Yun said with emotion.

"Ah, what do you mean by corporate culture?" The curious baby Hanxiang asked with wide eyes.

"Well, you can understand it as a business model, just like a store, the same product, different publicity effects, and location, will have different revenue and results." Li Yun smiled slightly, and said: "But we are now The management method is not bad, take your time, you can’t become fat with just one bite, and the reputation of Dalin Temple has accumulated for many years.”

Hanxiang nodded clearly, and followed Li Yun into the Dalin Temple.

The temple is very old, and even the walls are very mottled. It is obvious that it has not been renovated for a long time, and there is a breath that only belongs to the years.

In front of the gate, there was a young novice monk who was around the size of the reception, confirming the invitation letters in people's hands.

"Amituofu." The little novice saluted slightly after seeing Li Yun.

"Fu Sheng Wuliang Tianzun." Li Yun also returned the salute.

"This Taoist priest, may I ask who is your female relative?" The novice looked at Hanxiang hesitantly, his face was a little red, and he lowered his head. After all, he is still young, and even a monk cannot be completely pure-hearted.

"This is Pindao's junior junior sister, who came to Dalin Temple to observe Zen together with Pindao." Li Yun said with a slight smile.

The little novice hesitated a little, scratched his head with hesitation on his face, and after taking a peek at Hanxiang, he said with some embarrassment: "Master Dao, you don't know, our temple is a Qing temple, and we don't accept females." guest."

Li Yun frowned when he heard that female guests were not accepted.

"For today's temples, men and women are the same."

Some Buddhist scriptures believe that women are "the body of the five taints" or "the body of the five obstacles" and cannot become a Buddha.

However, this rule has basically been abolished now, and the Dalin Temple enjoys a good reputation within the area, so it is impossible to move out this rule that has been regarded as dross.

At this time, the little novice was also afraid that Li Yun might misunderstand him, so he shook his head quickly and said, "No, no, it's not like that, but this female crown is too beautiful. We have many little novice monks who are as old as little monks. People, all roots are impure, if..."

Li Yun was stunned, he didn't expect it to be the reason, Hanxiang is too beautiful, afraid of causing these little monks' youthful agitation.

"So I'm sorry, Daoist. I have to ask the teacher about your female relatives first. But don't worry, there shouldn't be any major problems. Before that, you can also enter the temple, but first Don't go to the main hall, there are many young monks there, you know."

Just finished speaking, the little novice left the gate as if fleeing before Li Yun could answer, leaving Li Yun speechless for a while.

"Um, did Hanxiang cause any trouble to this little monk?" Hanxiang looked at the back of the little novice with a puzzled expression.

"They are a serious Buddhist temple here, and they must strictly abide by the Eight Precepts." Li Yun didn't need to be euphemistic, but said bluntly: "It means that you are too beautiful, little junior sister. Monk, seeing you will inevitably shake your heart."

Han Xiang was speechless for a while, this reason is really impeccable.

At this time, there were people wearing Taoist robes. These people were old, young, and middle-aged. There were not many of them, Zheng Xuanli and his party.

"Guanzhu Yun, why are you standing here and not going in?" Xuanli asked curiously as soon as he came.

"Because of the incident with Junior Sister Pindao, let's wait here for a while." Li Yun said with a slight smile: "The beautiful scenery in the Dalin Mountain is picturesque, and I can also enjoy the beautiful scenery here."

Although the mountain scenery is tired of looking at the Xiangtou Mountain, the beauty of the Dalin Temple Mountain is indeed unique, especially there is a cliff next to the Dalin Temple, and the whole town can be seen from it. It can be said that The location is very good.

The scenery is beautiful and magnificent, just like a famous painting in the mountains.

"So that's how it is." Xuan Shan had a clear face, and then introduced to the rear: "You should all know each other, you are all comrades who gathered together on the Sanhui day."

The two parties knew each other well, and there was no sense of disobedience when they saluted each other, and the Taoist priests brought by Xuanli did not rush into the temple of Dalin Temple.
After all, Buddhism and Taoism are competitors.
"These Qingxiu monks really stick to the precepts, they can't even blush when they see a beautiful girl, really." The little fat man Xuan Shan muttered, isn't it just a beautiful girl, it's not good to be pleasing to the eye, and then giggled Said: "It's better for us Taoist priests to see beautiful young ladies."

"Idiot, that's my little sister, my little sister, are you a ten-year-old elementary school student?" Xuan Hui on the side quickly patted Xuan Shan on the head, and then quickly apologized to Han Xiang for being rude.

Han Xiang waved her hand indifferently, she was happy to be praised for her beauty.

Immediately, Xuan Hui said to Xuan Shan: "Don't say that monks have to abide by the precepts, in fact, we Taoists also have to abide by the precepts."

"Ah? What precepts, no one seems to have taught us." Xuan Shan asked doubtfully.

"As for us Taoists, there are two types. The Quanzhen Taoist who abides by the precepts has no less rules than monks, and the Zhengyi Taoist who does not need to abide by the precepts. We belong to the Taoist priests of the Zhengyi. Most of them are Taoist priests of Zhengyi, and only some Quanzhen Taoists in the north." Xuan Hui also whispered in Xuanshan's ear: "I think this commandment is a bit boring, Taoist priests What he cultivates is a carefree life. If he is not free and free, he will have no desires and desires like a monk, so he is still a Taoist priest, right? It’s better to be a monk, at least he looks bald and strong with a big bald head, right.”

"Yeah, that's right, these monks are really boring." Xuan Shan took this sentence very seriously.

Several people waited for a long time, but the young novice hadn't come to notify, and even another young novice came to check the invitation letter.

In the end, Li Yun also felt that the waiting time was a bit long, so he asked the little monk.

"Hi, is there any news about Pindao's invitation?"

The little novice looked at Li Yun, then at Hanxiang, nodded and said: "Well, Zhengfa went to invite the uncle to come oh yes, the uncle is here."

Following the direction that the little monk was looking at, a middle-aged monk came to the door with a solemn face.

"Hello, I am poor." Li Yun greeted first, but was interrupted by the middle-aged monk.

"woman?"
