Chapter 75 One Person and All Beings
After entering the main gate of the White Horse Temple, Huangfu Jue was already a regular visitor here, leading Lu Bu around the temple with ease.

There are many monks and monks in the White Horse Temple, and Lu Bu is no longer surprised by it.

After wandering around for a while, Huangfu Jue led Lu Bu to a palace, which was much larger than before, and the surrounding atmosphere became solemn and solemn. There was a platform in front of the palace.

Lu Bu looked up at the door plaque of this palace, and said silently in his heart: "The Hall of Great Heroes."

In the hall, a huge stone statue about two feet high sits in the center of the hall, with its left hand placed across its feet, and its right hand stretched straight down.On the left and right sides below the stone statue, there are more than a dozen fiendish sculptures, some holding magic weapons, some glaring, with different postures.

"The Buddha statue in the middle is Sakyamuni. He is the founder of Buddhism and is known as 'Buddha'. The stone sculptures below him are named 'Bodhisattva' on the left and 'King Kong' on the right. They are all He is a disciple of Sakyamuni, with an ugly appearance, and it is said that it is to suppress the vicious beasts that make trouble in the world."

While explaining, Huangfujue knelt on the futon in front of her. Seeing that Lu Bu was still standing there, she stretched out her hand and tugged at the corner of Lu Bu's clothes, and said angrily, "What are you doing in a daze, please!"

Lu Bu glanced at the Buddha statue and said nonchalantly, "Why do I worship him? I'm not a monk. Besides, I have always only worshiped the heaven, earth, monarch, relatives and teachers. There is no reason to kowtow and worship to a stone statue."

After hearing this, Huangfu Jue directly took Lu Bula down, and said solemnly: "There are many gods to worship, and there are gods to bless you, especially those of you who fight all day in the frontier fortress, you need to worship more."

After hearing Huangfu Jue's remarks, Lu Bu couldn't laugh or cry. If worshiping gods is really useful, why do they need them, the soldiers of the frontier garrison.But he couldn't resist Huangfu Jue's kindness, so he had no choice but to kneel on the futon, imitating her, kowtowed to the bottle of Shakyamuni Buddha, and added three sticks of incense to it after getting up.

After leaving the Daxiong Palace, Huangfu Jue led Lu Bu to walk around the other palaces and courtyards one by one.

During the period, the sound of chanting scriptures, the sound of wooden fish and the sound of the Buddha's horn in the temple made Lu Bu feel extraordinarily relaxed, as if the whole person was immersed in the mild spring water, quiet and peaceful.

Coming out of the Qiyun Pagoda courtyard behind the reception hall, Huangfu Jue stopped in front of an ancient well.

She took out a copper coin from her embroidered pouch, put it in her palm, clasped her hands together, and muttered reverently, even though Lu Bu's hearing was amazing, she could only faintly hear the words 'my father' and 'body'.

After reading, Huangfu Jue threw the copper coin into the well.

The copper coins splashed a little, and soon sank.

Lu Bu thought that Huangfu Jue would leave after throwing the copper coin, but she took out another coin, handed it to her, and said, "Lu Fengxian, this is the wishing well. It is said to be very effective. Why don't you try it too?" ?”

"That's unnecessary..." Lu Bu looked embarrassed.

Huangfu Jue didn't care so much, she handed the copper coin to Lu Bu's chest again, and winked playfully: "Quan is just kidding, just try it!"

In desperation, Lu Bu had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the copper coin, imitating Huangfu Jue's appearance just now, put the copper coin in his palm, and said with clasped hands: "Bless me in my lifetime, and completely expel the Xianbei alien race outside the Great Wall."

With a sound of 'puchi', Huangfu Jue suddenly laughed, and she smiled lightly at Lu Bu: "The wish you make cannot be heard by others, otherwise it will not work."

Lu Bu showed embarrassment, he didn't know this, so he had to take another copper coin, and after meditating in his heart, he threw the copper coin into the wishing well.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and before they knew it, it was dusk in the afternoon. Lu Bu and Huangfu Jue stepped out of the gate of the White Horse Temple, ready to leave.

"Benefactor, stop for now." A voice full of vicissitudes called to stop Lu Bu and the two of them.

Looking back, it was a meditating Zen master with a slightly dark complexion, sitting cross-legged on the left side of the gate, with white eyebrows and white hair, and a bunch of walnut-sized purple wood beads were constantly turning between his fingers.

Lu Bu turned to look at the elderly monk, and asked politely, "Master, what advice do you have?"

The old monk's eyes are very small, and even if he opened them, he could only see a tiny gap. He sized up Lu Bu and shook his head, "I don't dare to teach you. It's just that the almsgiver walked by me just now, which made the old monk feel a burst of pain. My heart is jumping in fear. Why is the benefactor so young, but has a fierce and hostile aura soaring to the sky."

Huangfu Jue, who was following beside him, took the initiative to lean on Lu Bu, and after a while he asked in bewilderment, "Arrogance? Why can't I feel it?"

Lu Bu walked back in front of the old monk, squatted down, "I've been fighting with Xianbei people all year round, so it's not surprising that I'm a bit hostile."

"The donor has killed many people?"

"In my eyes, they are no different from livestock."

The old monk shook his head again and sighed: "The Buddha is sympathetic to all living beings, so all living beings are equal. It is better for the benefactor to kill less in the future. Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately."

"If the Xianbei people don't get out of our Han border, Lu will never let go of this butcher knife in his hand." The corners of Lu Bu's mouth curled up slightly, and his tone was more decisive than ever.

Seeing that he couldn't convince Lu Bu, the old monk changed the subject again, "Benefactor, let the old monk tell you a story."

Lu Bu made a gesture of invitation, "Master, please speak, and I will listen carefully."

The old monk flicked the purple wood beads in his hand, and said kindly: "A fugitive once asked the Buddha, killing one person to save all living beings, is it possible to kill? There is no such thing as seriousness, I will not abandon one person, nor will I abandon all sentient beings. If there is no compassion, the Buddha will not be a Buddha."

Seeing that Lu Bu listened carefully, the old monk added another sentence after finishing his speech: "The almsgiver has a predestined relationship with my Buddha now, why don't you put aside your worldly affairs and take refuge in my Buddha, and recite Buddhist scriptures every day to get rid of the hostility in your heart."

There was a moment of astonishment on Lu Bu's face. He obviously didn't expect the old monk to let him become a monk. He shook his head and said, "The master knows that the northern Xianbei wantonly slaughtered Han people, invaded our borders, and burned my farmhouse? Bingzhou was originally a A land of peace and tranquility, it is their southward movement that has filled this land with flames of war."

The old monk took out a peach from the offering tray, put it in the palm of his hand, and placed it between the two of them. He persuaded Lu Bu earnestly: "All living beings are equal in heaven and earth. Just like this peach, there is no distinction between good and evil. There is no distinction between good and evil. Why should the donor be attached to all the free cause and effect in the world.”

After Lu Bu heard this, he was not in a hurry to defend himself, but picked up the peach, gnawed it all, and then put the peach pit back into the hands of the old monk, acting like a rascal, Shrugged: "I'm just a rough man practicing martial arts. For Lu, as the master said just now, there is no distinction between me and all living beings in the world, but some people are especially important to me. I am No matter what, I will not give up. For them, let alone one person, thousands of people, someone can kill them."

"Almsgiver, if you think too much, you may become a demon in the future!" The old Zen master's tone revealed some worry.

"If it is considered a crime to expel those alien races, then I can only use these hands to kill a piece of pure land."

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he got up and took the red dodder, and left without looking back.

Only an incomparably tall and tall figure was left behind, which was reflected very long by the afterglow of the setting sun.

(The [-] words agreed, but only half of it. Alas, I won’t make any other explanations... I’m going to recite this blame...)
