Intercept the second disciple

Chapter 384 A World War Is Inevitable

"Xiao Er, bring me two catties of beef and a pot of good wine." On a certain official road, a monk walked into a small tavern on the side of the road.

The tavern is run by a middle-aged couple. Now Maihuang is busy in May, and there are no customers in the tavern. Suddenly, a monk came in asking for wine and meat. The couple looked at the monk in surprise.

The monk found a seat by himself and sat down. The monk smiled and said, "The monk also has to eat. Why can't he eat wine and meat when he eats rice and noodles? The poor monk is hungry. Please be merciful and serve me wine and food quickly." .”

Before the male shopkeeper opened his mouth, the female shopkeeper came forward and said loudly: "You monk is so unreasonable. My house is a serious tavern, so where do you get the prohibited beef? Besides, if you are really a Buddhist monk, when you arrive In front of my shop, you don’t need to ask. Although we are poor, we are willing to have a vegetarian meal. But you look like a monk with a big belly. It’s not a prudish thing at first glance. Let me say... "

The male shopkeeper stepped forward and pulled his wife, otherwise the woman would continue to scold her.

It was almost scolded by someone pointing their noses, but the monk still had a smile on his face. The monk said with a smile: "The benefactor is right, but everything is born and must have its purpose. For example, the cattle, Plowing tens of thousands of fields and still filling people's stomachs after death, isn't it an infinite merit."

"If you don't eat it, I won't eat it, and it will turn into a pile of carrion in the end. Besides, monks are also human beings. Those who chant scriptures in temples are Buddhas, and those who save the world are Buddhas. Those who eat meat and drink wine are still Buddhas."

The monk patted his stomach and laughed, "Wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha will keep them in his heart!"

The female shopkeeper wanted to say something more, but her husband quickly stopped the customers with his eyes and opened the door to welcome them.

"By the way, I can smell the smell of beef. You are not allowed to prevaricate me anymore. It is still yellow beef. I have eaten such delicious food more than ten years ago." The monk's eyes lit up, looking hungry Reincarnation of the dead.

Now that Buddhism is booming, even if you don't believe in Buddhism, seeing this monk like this couple will feel angry. The female shopkeeper said: "Recently, a farm cow died of exhaustion in a town near us. It must be sold after reporting to the government. I bought more than ten catties of beef in the store, but the beef is not cheap, do you have money?"

"Female benefactor, you underestimate me," the monk stood up with a smile, and ejected hundreds of copper plates from the bag on his body.

"How about it, is it enough?" The monk said with a sullen expression.

"That's enough, please wait a moment for the mage." The man was a little surprised, but the speed of collecting money was not slow.

But at this time, another person walked into the store. This person was wearing a common Taoist robe, but he was elegant and handsome.

The small hotel seemed to be a lot brighter when he came here, he smiled and took out a gold ingot and said, "Take mine, it's not easy for a monk like him to earn some food money."

"Okay, my lord, what do you want?" The male shopkeeper became more attentive after taking the ingot.

"Just be like him."

The man sat down beside the monk and asked, "Do you mind if I sit here?"

"It's my blessing, Maitreya, to be able to sit with Master Xuandu, I don't dare to mind."

The store owner's wife was still whispering, but how would she feel if she knew the identities of these two people.

"Master, are you here to kill me?" Maitreya smiled and said, "If so, invite me to finish this meal of beef. You don't know that I have been hungry for a long time."

Xuandu and Maitreya were chatting in the couple's shop, but neither of them could hear the slightest bit.

Xuan Du stared at Maitreya for a long time, Xuan Du finally sighed: "You future Buddha doesn't look like a Buddha, but don't worry, I'm not here to kill you but to watch you."

At this time, the beef came up, and Maitreya took a piece of beef and swallowed it happily. Maitreya smiled and said: "It still tastes like it used to. This world is too carefree, even if I am a Buddha, I will not change it."

"But you will return to Lingshan one day," Xuandu said softly, "You can't escape."

Maitreya, who had been smiling all the time, finally put away his smile, and Maitreya sighed, "I thought it was the leader of Jiejiao who came to see me."

"Junior brother has been a little busy recently. Maybe you will be able to see him when you really become a Buddha, but junior brother asked me to ask you a question."

Xuandu paused and said: "It's also what I want to ask myself, what should the future Buddha be like?"

Maitreya put down his chopsticks and thought for a long time before saying, "This is what I've been thinking about all these years. If I can figure it out, maybe I can suddenly become a Buddha."

"Are you, the Buddha, also confused?" Xuandu asked.

"I was confused because it was the Buddha," Maitreya said with a smile: "The Buddha's foundation is in the Western Heaven, but the Buddha in the Western Heaven is like a pool of stagnant water. After all, if you only want the afterlife, the Buddha is just a poor creature attached to the underworld to some extent. And the Pure Land Sect in the Eastern Land is even more out of shape."

"Where is the Buddha, I don't know. If there is a day, I will be the Buddha." Maitreya thought for a long time before saying, "I am the Buddha. The Buddha is only in the belly of wine and meat."

"Interesting answer, then will you respond to Ran Deng's call?" Xuan Du asked.

Maitreya smiled and said: "I am not a Buddha now, I am just a wine and meat monk wandering in the world, the recruitment of the Buddha has nothing to do with me."

Xuandu stood up and smiled, "If one day you feel that Buddha can't go on, why don't you come to my Taoism."

Xuandu walked towards the door of the store, and when he was almost at the door, Xuandu turned his head and smiled and said: "I teach people, and the door to stop teaching will always be open for you."

Maitreya replied: "Master, you can close the door reserved for me. I am destined to be a Buddha."

Xuan Du smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case. If one day Buddhism doesn't exist, where will you Maitreya go to be that Buddha?"

···
Lingshan, afraid of leaving grandson to come back to see the lamp.

"Buddha, the Immortal Trapping Sword is still in the hands of the saint."

Fearing to leave grandson's complexion not too good, Ran Deng comforted and said: "I know it, you just go down and get ready."

At this time, Ran Deng asked Avalokitesvara: "Have all the disciples I teach arrived?"

"Besides the first Maitreya Buddha, Namo Vajra Indestructible Buddha, Namo Precious Light Buddha, Namo Dragon King Buddha... Namo Datong Light Buddha. Namo Caiguang Buddha and dozens of other Buddhas have all arrived."

"Another five hundred Bodhisattvas and three thousand Arhats have arrived outside the Great Leiyin Temple. As for the Eight Directions Bhikkhu, the Four Directions Jiedi is also waiting outside the temple."

Ran Deng nodded, and at this time Guanyin asked suspiciously: "Buddha, I have seen in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, and the Pure Land Sect still has luck to flow to the west. God favors me, I teach my disciples to practice and enlightenment much faster, time is on my side of Buddhism."

Ran Deng opened his mouth and said: "If there is no Buddhism, I only want a safe place, and now I can secretly accumulate strength in this Lingshan, but I have been preparing for Buddhism for too long."

"What I teach is the world!"

"And if you choose to be tolerant in the disputes over doctrines, wouldn't everyone in the world be able to misinterpret the classics I teach, and if you do so, you will not be able to teach."

"In addition, although the heart of heaven in this era belongs to my Buddhism, what about the next era, time really belongs to my Buddhism?"

Ran Deng made up his mind and said: "This battle can be defeated, or blood can be shed to death, but it is absolutely inevitable."

Avalokitesvara understood, after all, there is no one on the road to the overlord without bloodshed.

Buddhism is not weak on paper, but only after fighting can we know whether Buddhism is really ready to become the overlord.
