The Buddha Temple is not pure

Hunting jade out of the holy gate, but the skillful hands have no benevolence;

Difficult to abandon selfish thoughts, difficult to abide by oneself, fearless of the law of heaven and merciful to others;

Chaotic wind and rain and evil night, where is hatred and hatred;

There are twelve ways of calamity in Tianzhu, and I would rather not spare my body than brothers and sisters;

After Ji Luo foresaw it, he pressed the Yellow Page of Ming Ce under the incense burner.

She glanced sideways at the evil god sitting on the seat, covered in red silk, she couldn't see the whole picture, only knew that the god statue was as clear as white jade and the size of a real person.

Stepping on the incense table, she tore away the red silk, and she could see a woman-like jade body sitting cross-legged on it. It was beautiful, but it had a beast face, and there seemed to be a wicked smile hidden under the ferociousness. .

Fox Fairy?interesting.

Dare to set up an incense altar in Mengjue Temple privately to worship evil gods, how brave!

There was a commotion outside, and she knew that the waiting person had returned.

Just this morning, she and Lord Yawang rushed back to Dongdu. They first went to Sao Yuxuan, and then turned back to Mengjue Temple.

There was no one in Sao Yu Xuan, and even the life plan that had been arranged before leaving was gone, but there were many people in Mengjue Temple, all of them were children as big as Xiao Si, some were orphans, without father or mother, Some were sent up the mountain even though their parents were present.

Venerable Xu Shiyuejing became a Buddha here, and under the golden light, he attracted many pilgrims and monks. After three years of absence, Mengjue Temple has also grown.

They were chattering outside at the moment, calling for Master over and over again.

"Master, there are pilgrims coming to the temple!" A crisp voice said.

"Let me say, let me say, Master, not pilgrims, those two didn't want to burn incense and worship Buddha, they are gods, they broke the lock of the Great Compassion Altar without any effort."

Jing Tu frowned: "Immortal? Who?"

A dozen or so little monks looked at me and shook their heads: "They didn't declare their family background, but that sister is pretty pretty."

"What do you mean pretty good-looking? Originally, she was a celestial being. I have never seen such a sister in Dongducheng. Who is she if she is not a celestial being?"

Jing Tu got a headache from the quarrel: "Where are they now?"

The monks stepped aside and pointed to the Great Compassion Altar behind them: "It's still inside."

Just as Jing Tu was about to knock on the door, Ji Luoyu pushed the door open and came out, both of them were startled.

"Miss Ji?"

"Congratulations, second senior brother, I haven't seen you for three years, yet you have accepted your disciple and accepted your master." Ji Luoyu clasped his fists after saying that, with a bit of a quack style.

It was only then that Jing Tu regained his composure, looked at her, and lost a lot of weight, but the previous coquettish and unruly indulgence was gone, and the smile also revealed a hearty taste.

He clasped his hands together, bowed and said, "Miss Ji, long time no see."

Unexpectedly, Ji Luo patted him on the shoulder: "Not long, only three years, by the way, where is Xiaosi?"

"I'm dragging something behind, he's slow on his feet, he won't be able to come back until a while later."

Ever since the senior brother became a Buddha, the old people around him walked away and scattered, and the only one who accompanied him was Xiaosi. Now seeing Ji Luoyu coming back, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, even though Ji Luoyu liked to fool him in the past , when I was in the temple, I was never restless and often made troubles, but anyway, I was happy to meet my old friends.

"Miss Ji, come with me to the meditation room for tea." After saying that, he waved a gesture of invitation.

The young monks around talked a lot: "This sister is actually called Master and Senior Brother, did you hear that?"

"I heard it, and she even directly called Master Shu's Dharma name."

"That's right, even though Uncle Shi is not a few years younger than us, but the seniority is where she is, how can she be so young or not?"

Ji Luoyu stretched out his hand and flicked the young monk's forehead: "Who is it? Is there any rules for you to talk about guests in front of the master?"

Jing Tu said solemnly: "It's time for the evening class, they all dispersed, if you don't leave, I will be fined."

"Master is going to punish someone, run away!"

Some clever ghost yelled, and everyone scattered away.

"These kids are arguing all day long, it's a real headache."

Even though he said so, Ji Luo could foresee that he was still happy: "This is what a thousand-year-old temple looks like. Could it be that it should be as deserted as before?"

The two chatted and laughed all the way to the Zen room, where Jing Tu was pouring tea for her: "By the way, Miss Ji, where have you been these three years? I thought you had returned to the Eastern Capital, but after several visits to the city, unexpectedly I didn't find you, and Lord Yawang, where are the others?"

"Jun Yawang and I went to Xiangzhi Kingdom."

"Xiangzhi Country? I've heard of that place. It's very far away. What are you going to do there?"

"Look for an answer." Ji Luoyu grinned and said, "By the way, I see why the Dao lock was added to the Great Compassion Altar?"

Jingtu sighed deeply, and said helplessly: "The Great Compassion Altar was originally an incense altar dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, but since Zhu Mengzhen became the writing officer, he ordered people to remove the statue of Guanyin Buddha, and I don't know where to bring the god into it. , It has been locked since then, and only she can open it when she comes, and only she can go to worship."

"So you never went in at all."

Jing Tu shook his head: "No, once Xiaosi was curious, and secretly pierced the door and window, looked in, her eyes were full of red light, but she couldn't see anything else, she didn't see anything and didn't say anything, but Zhu Mengzhen found out, and she punished Xiaosi Haven't eaten for three days."

"No way, she is Xiao Si's biological mother, how could..."

"She treats Xiao Si well, and she is generous with food and clothing, but she seems to care about the newly built Great Compassion Altar, so she is so cruel. Thinking about it, eight years ago, Xiao Si was still a baby, and she threw the child away. When I was in Mengjue Temple, I cried sadly. It happened that I was keeping watch at night, and I didn’t know how to take care of children, so I went to find Miss Yue. Later, Xiao Si grew up and became closer to Miss Yue. Hou, it was only then that she chased after her all day and called Yueyue Niang, but now..."

The more I talk, the more sad I get.

Ji Luoyu's face was also uncertain: "You just said, now I wish Meng Zhen to write in Dongdu?"

"good."

"What can she do?"

"What the people want is supported by King Runing. There is no one else but her."

Ji Luoyu sneered: "Second senior brother, you don't know what kind of fairy job it is to write a pen, do you wish Mengzhen □ mortal womb, why should she?"

Jing Tu lowered his eyebrows: "If it wasn't for Zhu Mengzhen's riots, I wouldn't know what kind of existence the writer is. The world is long, and all living beings are just a few words on paper and a few strokes."

Ji Luoyu rested his chin and fell into deep thought. Zhu Mengzhen is definitely not simple, and he may have the same destiny as her. Otherwise, even if the people's hearts are in favor and the royal power is backing him, he may monopolize the post of immortal. After all, the writer is under the control of Tianji Palace. It is up to Tianji Palace to decide who to appoint.

But who is she? I have never seen such a person in Tianji Palace before, so I can't die, but Yang Yang actually tore up her fate.

"By the way, Miss Ji, you just entered the Great Compassion Altar, what did you see?"

She lazily raised her eyes and said, "It's nothing, it's just a fox fairy."

Jing Tuteng got up from the case, eyes full of shock and anger: "What? Evil God? How dare she worship the Evil God in Mengjue Temple! How unreasonable, unreasonable..."

He was spinning around with anger, but he didn't come up with a countermeasure for a long time.

Ji Luoyu said indifferently: "I'm afraid she thought that Mengjue Temple still has spiritual veins, so she enshrined the evil god here, but why did she offer it to the fox fairy?"

"No, the evil god must be invited out. The Buddhist Pure Land of Mengjue Temple must not hide filth."

"Second senior brother, have you heard that it is easier to invite gods than to give them away? The evil god is enshrined in the Great Compassion Altar and enjoys the incense of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. I am afraid that if he cannot be invited out, even if he is invited out, there will be endless troubles."

"How about that?"

Ji Luoyu sneered: "Let's confess, anyway, it's not a day or two, and nothing happened, so what are you afraid of."

"But..." Jing Tu frowned, "Oh, I shouldn't have promised her back then."

"How to say?"

"When senior brother became a Buddha, I invited his Buddha statue into Huayan Palace and changed Huayan Palace to Yuejing Pavilion. I gave her an idea. She also wanted to renovate the Great Compassion Altar. They cover the sky with one hand, not to mention changing the incense seat, even if I take Mengjue Temple, I can't say anything, so I reluctantly agreed."

She rolled her eyes back and forth, not knowing what she was thinking about, and after a long time, she said, "It's good for Venerable Yuejing to realize Taoism and become a Buddha in Mengjue Temple, but there's no need to set up an altar to cultivate here. Why do you bother to get rid of Huayan?" palace?"

"Miss Ji, you don't know something." Jing Tu sat down anxiously, frowning and said, "Before my brother became a Buddha and went west, he gave me a candle and ordered me to keep it alive for three years. , I had to set up an altar to worship, put a lamp on it, keep it with oil and wax, change it day and night for three years, and guard it day and night, lest a gust of wind might blow it out."

"What an amazing candle, but it has to be served so diligently."

"Miss Ji be careful, it is left by the venerable."

She stretched her waist: "He left a lot of things, we all have to offer them as treasures?"

"But that candle is indeed different from what we usually see."

"Why is it different?"

Jing Tu was silent for a long time, and said: "Come with me."

After finishing speaking, Ji Luoyu took Ji Luoyu to Yuejing Pavilion, where the Venerable Yuejing was enshrined. There were three thousand bright lamps on both sides of the majestic Buddha seat, and Ji Luoyu saw the distinctive candle with his eyes. fire.

The texture is clear, colored glass, and even the light reflected on the Buddha seat is colorful: "I have seen such a fire."

"No way, when did Miss Ji meet?"

Ji Luo was startled in advance, and smiled wryly again.When she went up the mountain with a lantern, she begged Yue Weiyang to help her light it up, but Yue Weiyang still thought she was being naughty, so she wiped the flames from her fingers in a perfunctory manner, and the flames were just like the ones she sees now.

Liuli Jinghuo has a well-deserved reputation.

But Yue Weiyang also threatened her at that time that she would not have to go up the mountain after lighting that lamp, so she swallowed her anger and did not let her light the lamp.

It turned out that Venerable Yuejing had already seen through everything, and when he became a Buddha, he ordered his second senior brother to make offerings to the Liuli Jinghuo for three years. For three years, he was waiting for her.

She silently took out the Cun Si Lu from her bosom, and opened it under the Liuli Jinghuo to read, but there was nothing there.

Jing Tu said: "What kind of book is this, why is there no word?"

She reluctantly closed her hands and said: "Just wait until Lord Yawang comes back with the lamp, I still need to borrow the fire."

These words were not addressed to him, but to Venerable Yuejing. In front of the Buddha, she knelt down on both knees and respectfully kowtowed three times.

Since Venerable Yuejing became a Buddha, she had never paid homage to him, whether it was his golden body or Buddha statue, whether it was in Mengjue Temple or Datongming Temple.

It's been a long time since I paid my respects three times.

In the evening, Ji Luo reserved a fast meal at Mengjue Temple.

At first, Jing Tu felt uneasy, afraid that she would not be used to it, and what to do if she made some meaty and fishy game, which would ruin the children. She never thought that her face would not change when she picked up the chopsticks. Can also swallow vegetarian food.

He boasted while eating: "Second senior brother, your cooking skills have improved." After saying that, he ate a piece of salted radish and served it with shiny rice.

Jing Tu shook his head, quite proudly: "I didn't make this vegetarian meal."

"Who is that?"

"Of course it's me." Xiao Si came in with a plate and sat beside her, "Sister Immortal, long time no see, Xiao Si misses you."

Ji Luoyu almost couldn't recognize him. The little kid back then had changed. Although he still looked like a child, he was no longer as immature as before, his nose and eyes were all opened, and he was still a little handsome.

"What's the matter, sister doesn't recognize me?" Xiao Si shook her sleeve.

Ji Luoyu's lips trembled slightly, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled like a flower, pinched his little face and said, "I dare not admit it, I didn't expect Xiao Si to be so tall that she could even reach the stove."

"It's good that my sister doesn't dislike her. I'm afraid that simple food and tea are not enough to cleanse my sister."

"Enough, I like it very much."

Xiaosi tilted her head and whispered: "Actually, my sister's rice is different from other people's."

Ji Luoyu also tilted his head and asked, "Why is it different?"

"I secretly fried a few pieces of chicken skin, and sprinkled salt and pepper on it. After the chicken skin was burnt and the oil was fried, I put it in rice and steamed it. After steaming, I picked out the chicken skin and mixed it with sesame seeds. Fragrant but not greasy."

It was only then that Ji Luoyu noticed that his rice was indeed whiter and brighter than those in other people's bowls. No wonder the simple salted radish tasted like meat.

She whispered: "I've put my heart into it, but you are already a senior uncle, how dare you be so self-willed? Are you afraid that your senior brother will punish you for breaking the precept? I think they are quite afraid."

Xiaosi laughed and said: "I'm just old, and as long as my sister is happy, it's nothing if I break the precept and be punished. I just don't want to be so blatant and make my senior brother angry. As for them..."

He glanced at the children at the table: "They are afraid of the senior brother because the senior brother is very strict with them, but it is different with me."

"You."

"Xiao Si, what are you whispering about? If you can't eat or sleep, you can forget it?" Jing Tu said expressionlessly.

Xiaosi stuck out her tongue, Ji Luoyu smiled and said, "It's nothing, I haven't seen you for a long time, just to exchange pleasantries."

When Ji Luoyu said please, Xiao Si became more unscrupulous, and asked, "By the way, sister, where is Yue Yueniang? Where did she go? Why didn't she come back with you?"

The chopsticks in Ji Luoyu's hand were fixed in the air, and he said for a long time, "She...has become a Buddha with the Lord, and has returned to the Western world."

Even Jingtu raised her eyes slightly, as if waiting for her answer, of course it was not perfunctory.

Xiaosi put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said: "No, Yueyue Niang disappeared long before Eldest Brother disappeared. At that time, I searched for her all over the temple, but I couldn't find her. Moreover, the bag she left in the temple The faucet is gone, and I was thinking about cleaning it up for her."

Ji Luo knew in advance that the child was not as easy to fool as before, so she put vegetables in his bowl: "Don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep." After that, she ate without saying a word.

Xiaosi sensed that the atmosphere was not right, so she had to lower her head to eat seriously, but the children sitting around exploded.

"Hey, hey, do you know who the Yueyue Niang that my uncle is talking about is?" The headed child is called Zhenqi, and he is a big brother of the real generation. He is only one year younger than Xiaosi, and he is the oldest among all the children. Smarter.

"I know, that's the uncle's mother."

Zhenqi patted the forehead of the child next to him: "What, the uncle and his mother are no longer in Dongdu. You may not believe it, but that Yueyue mother...is the former writer."

"really?"

"Of course."

Some children moved their heads quietly: "But I heard that the writer in Dongdu was a sinner through the ages. It was because she made many mistakes during her tenure that Dongdu was flooded. Have you forgotten? I I remember dodging the flood in the mountains when I was young, how can you say that my uncle is so close to her?"

"Do you know what the meaning of sinner through the ages is?" Zhen Qi said, "I didn't hear the dragon's head mentioned by my uncle just now. It is said that it was because she cut off the dragon's head that the flood in Dongdu receded."

"Ah, that's right, but my mother told me that it was because the living Buddha appeared and the golden light shone everywhere, which drove away the rain clouds."

"Stupid, it's the Dragon King who makes the rain. What's the use of driving away the rain clouds." Zhen Qi said, "There is a Dragon King Temple at the foot of the mountain. I'll take you there another day. It's fun."

"You mean the Water Dragon King Temple at Lingbo Bridge? No, no, I heard it's haunted, it's scary."

"Haven't you heard that Mengjue Temple is also haunted by ghosts?" Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door, and Lord Yawang broke into the Zhaitang three steps at a time, "Mengjue Temple was haunted back then, now There are still many bones under the cliff behind the temple, besides, baby cries in the middle of the night, female ghosts calling ghosts, etc. are commonplace, but it is much more exciting than the Dragon King Temple, why do you choose to become a monk here?"

Seeing him, the little monks were not as kind and amiable as the older sister in front of them, so they dared not speak. Only Zhenqi was not afraid, and put down the bowl and chopsticks slammingly: "Who are you?"

"Me? I am your ancestor!"

Jingtu frowned: "Mr. Yawang, don't blaspheme the master, and don't make fun of the children, they will really believe it."

Only then did Lord Yawang put away his hideous face, and said with a smile: "Second Senior Brother, long time no see."

The second senior brother didn't want to talk to him, so he saw Xiao Si in a blink of an eye: "Hey, the little tail grew so tall back then."

Xiaosi got up, went to him and hugged his leg: "Not high, not high, not even your waist, big cat."

Caught off guard, Mr. Yawang was so startled by this sudden hug that he didn't know what to say.

Ji Luoyu looked at him with a full smile, as if to say that you were also at such a loss, and then asked: "Is the thing ready?"

Lord Yawang came back to his senses and shook his sleeves.
