Chapter 494 The Disgusting Monk

This old monk Zongxin also knew him. He had been to XZ once, saying that there were monsters here, so he came here to get rid of monsters.The result is a huge ginseng tree that nourishes the nearby poisonous snake, making the snake grow bigger, big enough to eat people and the poisonous snake itself has produced a little spirituality.

It was that time that Elder Mu Jixiang had social relations with Zong Xin and Zhao Kuangyin.But the friendship is not deep, Zong Xin almost forgot about this old monk, unexpectedly he came to find him instead.Although he didn't know what was going on with the old monk, he could tell that the old monk was quite a smart person, and he didn't bring other disciples with him when he came alone.

It was obvious that Zong Xin deliberately disguised himself and did not have a warg with him, just to hide his identity so that no one would see him.Of course the old monk understood the meaning, so he knew that it was Master Zongxin who came to XZ. He didn't make any announcement and just came to find him alone.

Zong Xin originally didn't want to take care of this old monk, but he is so old, and it is not easy to walk down from Wutai Mountain, so it is inappropriate not to take care of him.Anyway, if you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, it is estimated that this old monk can't say anything good.

Zong Xin said depressedly: "Elder Mu Jixiang, the poor monk has already changed into this, and his hair has grown out. Unexpectedly, you still recognized the poor monk. It seems that the elder's body is not bad. Looks pretty good."

Mu Jixiang clasped his hands together and said: "It's really a crime to mention this matter. I didn't go to the street, so how did I know that Master Zongxin came in person? The disciples in the temple told the old monk. Naturally, the disciples in the temple can't recognize Master Zongxin's current appearance , but... the female benefactor next to you is impressive. The disciples in the temple will never forget it after seeing it once. Of course, they will not be wrong when they see each other again. So it is a sin, how can a monk be tempted by a mortal woman? And I can't forget it, and it makes my master, the old man, look bad."

"It's okay, my apprentice told me to give birth to a girl to be his wife all day long. I don't know what to do with this child who has just turned 10 years old. Which apprentice in the world makes you worry? It's okay. Nothing strange."

Mu Jixiang nodded and said: "That's right~ Can't imagine that the last time Master Zongxin came to XZ again, he did a lot of great things. Who in the world today doesn't know the profoundness of Master Zongxin's Buddhism?"

"If you have anything to say, just talk about it. There is no need to put a high hat on me." Zong said: "As the saying goes, you can go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything. I don't know what trouble Elder Mu Jixiang has encountered recently. Could it be Mount Wutai? Goblins again."

"Why are there so many monsters in the world? I just want to talk to Master Zong Xin." Mu Jixiang said, "I wonder if Master Zong Xin knew about the Buddhist catastrophe a hundred years ago?"

"Appreciate further details."

Mu Jixiang said: "In the fifth year of Huichang (854), Tang Wuzong issued an edict to abolish Buddha, order the demolition of temples, and order monks and nuns to return to lay life. A total of 28 temples were demolished, [-] monks and nuns returned to lay life, and all monks dispersed. , the temple was destroyed, and it was called "Huichang to destroy Buddha" in history. Until Tang Xuanzong ascended the throne, Buddhism was revived. At the time of "Huichang to destroy Buddha", someone once fabled that a hundred years later, there will be the next more terrible act of destroying Buddha. .I wonder what Master Zong Xin thinks about this?"

Zong Xin pinched his fingers and said: "Hey, it should be 97 years since the five years of Huichang, so it will be three years before the next Buddhist extermination operation. This matter is imminent, so let's tell all the monks in the world , we must be united and start growing our hair to become Taoist priests, so that the extermination of Buddha has nothing to do with us.”

It's not like words, it's not like human words.As an eminent Buddhist monk who has attained the Tao, he suggested that the Buddhist monks grow their hair to become Taoist priests after calculating that there would be a catastrophe for the Buddhist sect... Yaoyao and Dugu Xingyue have long been accustomed to Zongxin's shamelessness and his habit of joking, but But Mu Jixiang didn't know, his face flushed with anger after hearing this.

Mu Jixiang said: "Master Zongxin, my martial arts skills are not as good as yours, otherwise... I really want to rush up and give you a good beating. Are what you just said humanistically? Young people are okay, I Can you still grow your hair at such an age?"

"That's right~ You're getting old, even if you want to grow your hair, it's impossible. You'd better return to vulgarity, find a small village to live your life in peace, and at least don't starve to death on the streets." Zong Xin said helplessly: "This Things can't be stopped, even I can't do anything about it, and this matter really has nothing to do with me, don't always blame me for this matter."

"Master Zong Xin, what do you mean by saying that this incident is unstoppable? Could it really happen?"

Zong Dao: "Amitabha, sin is sin. As the saying goes, bodhisattvas are afraid of the cause, and ordinary people are afraid of the result. The root of evil has been planted, and the poor monk has seen it with his own eyes. This catastrophe is inevitable, so everyone should seek good fortune for themselves." There are almost three years left. Take advantage of this time to hit the clock for two more days, and find a way to get the temple to prepare some money for the old monks to provide for them. If you don’t close it, you’ll be begging on the street, which is pitiful.”

"Oh~~~~~" Yaoyao and Dugu Xingyue nodded at the same time, they seemed to know what was going on with the extermination of Buddha this time, no wonder Zong Xin said that the root of evil had been planted, and this matter had nothing to do with him.

It is true that Zong Xin did not lie this time. This matter has no direct relationship with Zong Xin, but there is still a little indirect relationship.

Zong Xin turned around and asked, "Do you all understand what's going on?"

"Yes, I understand." Dugu Xingyue said: "This incident is really not your fault. When I heard the news before, I thought you were crazy when you became a monk, and you were going to destroy all the monks yourself. , It turned out to be such a thing, and now I think about it all."

Yaoyao nodded and said: "Master, this matter has nothing to do with you directly, but there is still a little bit of indirect relationship. So...you can help as much as you can, for example, these temples need money for the elderly monks. If you have money, give a little more."

"Okay, as expected of my Zongxin's wife, it's good that you all understand." Zong Xin said happily: "I understand, but you should not go out and talk nonsense. But what Yaoyao said makes sense , just can't do as you said. Give money to temples and they may not give money to these old monks. After all, not all monks are so decent, so... I want to open a place in every city for the elderly Elderly care, I have to take care of food, clothing, housing and medicine for the elderly, and it won’t cost much, but I just need some manpower. I will ask Zhao Pu to do this when I have time, anyway, that kid likes to do such troublesome things.”

"If you didn't mention this name, I almost forgot about him..." Yaoyao said: "Zhao Pu is still in Yandao, right? It’s hard work.”

Zong Xin said depressedly: "He is not suffering. I guess Zhao Pu must have built a big house for himself now. The gold, silver and jewels in the house are piled up like a mountain. Even if he wants to suffer, it is difficult for him to suffer. The biggest shopkeeper in the world, do you think Doesn't he make money himself?"

When Zong Xin said this, Yaoyao and Dugu Xingyue felt that his words made sense.Even Lei Tianxin, who is the most useless, is rich. His identity is at most the commander of the guard army of Yandao, and he is in charge of the first distribution task in Yandao. Xin should not earn as much as him.

Elder Mu Jixiang sighed and said: "It seems that there is no way to stop it. I hope that the pension plan that Master Zong Xin mentioned just now can be implemented. But...it is difficult. There are too many bastards in the world who don't want to care about the elderly. If you hear With such an institution, they will definitely send their elders there for you to take care of, plus there are many old people who are already helpless, Master Zong Xin, no matter how much money you have, you will spend it all."

"You don't have to worry about this. The poor monk has his own clever plan to ensure that all the old monks are raised there. Give them a full mouthful of food so that these old monks will not be cold and hungry. This poor monk still has the ability."

Hearing what Zong Xin said, Mu Jixiang was relieved.Although everyone thinks that this matter was initiated by Zong Xin, judging from Master Zong Xin's performance, this matter is only related to him, but there is someone else who actually did this matter.

Mu Jixiang said: "Then there is Master Lao Zongxin. This kind of blessing can be said to be of great merit. On behalf of those old monks, I would like to thank Master Zongxin for his generosity. Spend so much money to support this useless one like us. I used the old monk."

"Don't say that. Although it's useless for you to be monks, respecting the old and loving the young are the traditional virtues of our Chinese people. I feel sorry to see old monks suffering from cold and starvation. If you are rich Money field, those who don’t have money, just give these old monks a full meal anyway.” Zong Xin said depressedly: “Of course, I didn’t mean to belittle you, but... it’s hard to say it again. Once you became a monk, you didn’t even marry a few wives, and you didn’t have much money. How did you become a monk? Do you think I am a monk? How nourishing is it?”

Embarrassed, Elder Mu Jixiang really didn't know how to answer.Zong Xin is a good monk, but he can't ask others to be like him.What's more... what does the monk mean in his heart?Fortunately, it was not easy to become a monk once.

Elder Mu Jixiang wasn't angry either, because he already knew that Master Zongxin's words were absurd, and he would often make such ridiculous jokes. Mu Jixiang is also a great virtuous monk, so how could he take such things to heart?

Mu Jixiang said: "Amitabha, goodness is goodness. This old monk is a mortal child with naked eyes. He doesn't know where this catastrophe started and where it will end. I don't look at the cause, but only at the effect. Master Zongxin really got the Tao Monk, this action let me understand that even if this catastrophe was really caused by Master Zongxin, it doesn’t matter, at least Master Zongxin didn’t do it on purpose, so I can rest assured. After returning, I will definitely let the disciples in the temple take good care of the elderly , and will contact other temples to let them make early plans.”

"Oh~ that's fine..." Zong said: "It's okay, let's go home and rest early, we have to go back to our room."

"Then, I will take my leave."

"Walk slowly." Zong Xin's face was always calm, but his mood still couldn't escape Yaoyao and Dugu Xingyue.
