Becoming a fox fairy from Liaozhai

Chapter 342
Being born into the world is not a decision that can be made on a whim.

It is a kind of practice to stay away from the outside world, stay away from the entanglements of the world, and focus on one's own practice.

The way is not far away, it is another kind of practice.

Practitioners often choose between the two, and do not specialize in one, but only seek a balance between entering the world and leaving the world.

Master Xuan Xiao decided to fight against the evil spirits, but he couldn't help getting himself involved in the world.Whether it's good or bad, I don't know yet.

Gong Mengbi has been wallowing in the world of mortals, never really born.

Taoist Xuan Xiao was going to lobby the eminent monks at the Great Buddha Temple, and brought along Gong Mengbi and the others.

Daoist Xuanshuang was not willing to go, and muttered some inaudible words, resisting very much.

Gong Mengbi asked: "Daoist Xuanshuang has enmity with the monks of the Great Buddha Temple?"

Mingling whispered: "It's not that there is any grudge, it's that the monks of the Great Buddha Temple want to come to receive strict discipline, and the uncle can't find fun."

Taoist Priest Xuanshuang had heard them talking, and complained: "Our family's Mingling is wood, but those monks are stones."

Taoist Xuanshuang is very playful, and when he meets those monks, he really has nowhere to use his strength.

The Great Buddha Temple and the Daxian Temple are not far away, both in Jinhua Mountain.Taoist Xuan Xiao and the great monk of the Great Buddha Temple have known each other for a long time, otherwise he would not have boasted that he could invite the great monk here.

Looking at the gate of the Great Buddha Temple from a distance, you can see huge stone Buddhas walking, sitting or lying down, in various poses and with different poses, lifelike.

These stone Buddhas were excavated on the cliff and turned into a big Buddha wall, but in fact they are far more breathtaking than the murals.

The Great Buddha Temple is located under the cliff, and the sprawling cliff is majestic and majestic. In addition to the big Buddhas that have already gathered in groups, there are also unfinished stone Buddhas that are being excavated one by one.

Gong Mengbi looked from afar and could see a monk on every stone Buddha that was being excavated.

Ming Ling said: "The practice of the Great Buddha Temple is like this. The disciples of the past dynasties carved the giant Buddha on the cliff. The completion of the excavation of the giant Buddha also represents the achievement of cultivation."

Gong Mengbi nodded, "No wonder there is such a charm."

In the perception of the Tongtian Fa, these great Buddhas are like living creatures, with extremely high spirituality, and they can hear the continuous sound of chanting sutras coming from the great Buddhas.

This chanting sound was inaudible to the naked ear, but Gong Mengbi could clearly perceive it.

Walking outside the Great Buddha Temple, the monk guarding the mountain saw Taoist Xuan Xiao bringing people here, discussed with each other, and went to one to report to the monk, while the other still guarded in front of the mountain gate.

But after a while, the emaciated but tall Zhike monk came out, and when he saw Taoist Xuan Xiao, he said happily: "The real Dharma is here, and the scorpion is shining, please come here."

The Zhike monk led the crowd in, Master Xuanxiao introduced Gong Mengbi, and said, "This is Gong Huzheng, a disciple of Tianhu Academy, who is now practicing in Lanyin Temple."

The two greeted each other, and the Zhike monk sighed: "The treasured land of Lanyin Temple has finally returned to the sky. Gonghu's righteous way is profound, and he can subdue the demons in it."

Gong Mengbi said: "I don't dare to say surrender, I just borrowed the treasure land to open the Fox House."

The knowing guest monk didn't know the inside story, so Gong Mengbi explained it.

The Zhike monk said: "It is rare to preach wild foxes and teach them."

Master Xuan Xiao was obviously familiar with the Zhike monk, and asked, "Your honor is still in the temple?"

The Zhike monk nodded and said: "I am practicing in the Bodhi Court. Recently, the lotus has bloomed well. The abbot is preaching scriptures to the nobles by the lotus pond. Please wait in the meditation hall for a while. I will invite the abbot."

Taoist Xuan Xiao said, "Thank you."

The Zhike monk went to the bodhi courtyard, where the shade was dense, and a tall bodhi tree opened like an umbrella, casting mottled shadows.

The Bodhi Court got its name from this.

Not far from the bodhi tree is a lotus pond dug out, in which lotus flowers are in full bloom and full of vitality.

There is a low table in the corridor, a big monk and an old woman are sitting opposite the table, behind the old woman is a middle-aged woman, leading several maids to serve around.

The Zhike monk went to the corridor and whispered something in the great monk's ear.

The kind-faced old concubine didn't hear what they said, but seeing the great monk's expression, she asked, "Abbot Huiming is in a hurry. If there is something, the abbot will take care of it first, and he will lecture on the scriptures for me at another time."

Abbot Huiming said softly, "It was Daoist Xuan Xiao from the Great Immortal Temple who came to look for me."

The old concubine smiled and said, "So it's an expert from the Great Immortal Temple."

She smiled and said: "I have been to the Great Buddha Temple, but I have never met the Youdao True Cultivator of the Great Immortal Temple. You might as well invite him to discuss the Dao together, so that I can learn more."

Abbot Huiming's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "I'll ask you on behalf of the nobleman."

The old princess smiled and said, "Okay."

The Zhike monk brought the abbot to the meditation room, and the square-eyed monk saw Taoist Xuan Xiao, and smiled and said: "It's rare to be busy today, Master Xuan Xiao may not be here for a long time."

Taoist Xuan Xiao said: "It's not that I don't come, it's just that I'm afraid of bumping into the distinguished guests."

Abbot Huiming implied deep meaning: "You are afraid of offending the nobleman, but the nobleman still misses you. He told me just now that he wants to invite you to discuss scriptures and Taoism together."

Taoist Xuan Xiao smiled wryly and said, "Please forgive me."

Abbot Huiming skipped the matter and reminded: "If you come in a hurry, you have to go in a hurry."

Taoist Xuan Xiao nodded, and told him why he came here.

Abbot Huiming was taken aback, and said: "When there is a plague of locusts, I'm afraid chaos will come immediately."

Abbot Huiming walked up and down, and said, "I agree, I will also talk about the City God."

Taoist Xuan Xiao said: "It needs to be done as soon as possible."

Abbot Huiming nodded.

Taoist Xuan Xiao didn't stay long, and immediately took Gong Mengbi and the others away.

The Zhike monk led the way, and Abbot Huiming went to the Bodhi Court.

Seeing him coming alone, the old princess was a little disappointed.

Abbot Huiming explained: "The Taoist chief wanted to come, but there was a plague of locusts outside the mountain, and there was a locust god haunting him, so he couldn't get away."

The old concubine was startled, and said, "The plague of locusts? God of locusts!"

Abbot Huiming nodded and said, "That's right. He came here to ask me to drive away the locust gods. I'm leaving too. In the next few days, I'll ask you to read the scriptures by yourself."

The old concubine nodded again and again, and said: "The business is important."

The old concubine looked back at the middle-aged woman and said, "Go to Gusu and ask about the disaster."

The middle-aged woman bowed in response.

Abbot Huiming said: "The repelling of locusts is no small matter. I hope the City God is willing to help. Otherwise, we may not be able to do it with just the two of us."

The old concubine said: "The city god protects one party, how can he stand by and watch?"

Abbot Huiming said with a smile: "Exactly, the words of a nobleman have settled my heart."

The old concubine laughed: "How can I, an old woman, be able to fix the Zen master's heart?"

Abbot Huiming said: "It is enough for you to have compassion."

The old concubine was puzzled, but Abbot Huiming didn't want to say any more, so he asked to leave: "The old monk is going to visit the city god. If he helps, the locust god can be kept out of the county."

The old concubine no longer kept him.

Abbot Huiming got a word from her, and then went to admonish Chenghuang, it would be much easier to say.

The Locust God came from the north. If the Jinhua City God commanded the town gods of the counties, commanded the village gods, and thousands of gods helped each other, it would be much easier to deal with the Locust God.
