Acting as a god and Buddha: starting from Guanzi

Chapter 3
In the early morning, there was a knock on the door.

Meng Yuan got up and opened the door, only to see Monk Miaole blocking the door like a mountain of flesh. He was all dirty, his clasped palms were covered with dirt, and there were a lot of residues between his teeth.

Monk Miao Le, with almost a slit left in his eyes, said, "Junior Brother, please follow me to take a bath and burn incense, and Master will shave you afterward."

Meng Yuan nodded slightly, raised his hands and said, "Thank you, senior brother, please lead the way."

The two of them walked all the way to the corridor outside the right wing. When they passed the main hall in the middle, Meng Yuan glanced at the Buddha statue enshrined in it.

It was not Shakyamuni Buddha, but a very bloated Buddha statue, not any Buddha or Bodhisattva he was familiar with.

"May I ask, senior brother, which Buddha is enshrined in this hall?"

Miao Le was suddenly stunned and grinned: "Junior brother, Buddha is Buddha. There is only one Buddha. Where did you hear about how many Buddhas there are?"

Although he was laughing, Meng Yuan felt a little horrified in his heart. Fortunately, whether he was an undercover agent in his previous life or an actor in this life, his acting skills did not reveal any unnecessary emotions. He only said in surprise: "I remember being in other temples." I’ve seen many Buddha statues.”

The original Yu Que had seen different Buddha statues, but the troupe did not worship Buddha, so he did not understand them.

Miao Le shook his head: "Buddha has no form, it is also the form of all living beings. Junior brother, don't get attached to the form."

"Thank you for your teaching, brother."

Then he followed Monk Miao Le to a room where there was a wooden bucket with hot water already boiled.

"Junior brother, come to the main hall after washing up."

"Yes."

After Miao Le left, Meng Yuan came to the wooden barrel and saw his appearance clearly through the reflection. If he didn't know that he was a majestic man, even he would have mistaken him.

Especially with this disheveled look, the male rabbit's feet are really tangled, the female rabbit's eyes are blurred, and the two rabbits are walking next to each other. How can they tell whether I am a male or a female?

It is not feminine, but a neutral appearance. As a man, it can be said that he is as handsome and beautiful as a crown jade, while as a woman, he has the posture of sinking fish and falling wild goose under the moon and shying flowers.

"No wonder the third son of the Wang family is willing to buy it with thousands of gold..."

After bathing, Meng Yuan went to the main hall wearing the blue and white monk's robes prepared nearby.

The old monk and his two disciples, Miaoyan and Miaole, were already waiting.

In fact, tonsure is a very tedious process, but only four and a half people can breathe in this small Dharma temple. Now that they are all here, it is considered solemn.

After burning incense and paying homage, the old monk Huiming held a razor in his hand and asked Meng Yuan three questions.

One question: "Do you still have concerns in your heart?"

Meng Yuan pondered for a moment: "Nothing."

The old monk Huiming didn't reveal anything, and asked, "Have you ever committed murder in your hands?"

Meng Yuan had committed suicide, but Yu Que had never killed anyone. He shook his head and said, "No."

The old monk continued to ask three times, and he pointed to the Buddha statue in the middle and asked, "Is it a Buddha?"

Meng Yuan's heart suddenly jumped. What does this mean?Could it be that the old monk listened to what he had rashly asked about Miao Le?

He wanted to say yes, but found that he couldn't open his mouth no matter what. Gradually, Meng Yuan's forehead began to sweat, and the faces of his master and senior brothers seemed a little blurred.

Meng Yuan felt as if there was a huge pressure coming from the void, and then he said: "If a Bodhisattva has the appearance of me, the appearance of a human being, the appearance of all living beings, and the appearance of a person with a long life, it is not a Bodhisattva."

This is what the Buddha said to Subhuti in the Diamond Sutra.

As soon as these words came out, all the pressure suddenly disappeared like a breeze, like an illusion.

The old monk Huiming who presided over the ordination was shocked, not to mention the two disciples on the side, who both looked at Meng Yuan in astonishment.

Huiming seemed to have seen the Buddha's light coming from Meng Yuan's body, and he was right. His disciple was a disciple of the Buddha. Junior brother is so brave.

However, none of the three people said anything, and the old monk gently touched Meng Yuan's scalp with the razor, and the black hair immediately fell out, intending to cut off the worries.

From then on, there was less of a humble actor and more of a compassionate monk.

Meng Yuan didn't pay attention to the outside world at the moment, but there was a change in the sacred records of gods, Buddhas and immortals in his mind.

Originally, there was only an illusory figure on the lotus seat, but gradually there was an illusory figure, dressed in white cassock, holding a jade bottle in one hand, which was not the appearance of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

A piece of information jumped into my mind.

[Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva performance progress is 5%. 】

【Obtain Bodhisattva Body Supernatural Power: Eyes of Heaven】

It turned out to be the heavenly eye among the five eyes of Buddhism?Meng Yuan was a little surprised.

In an instant, he found that he was observing everything around him very carefully, and with a single glance he could take in all the details of the entire hall.

This is the power of the second level of the heavenly eye among the five eyes!

Although I was extremely happy in my heart, as this golden finger finally gave me a big gift package for newbies, my face remained calm.

After the old monk ordained him, Miaoyan on the side came forward holding a scroll of scriptures.

"Disciple, I now give you the Dharma name Wonderful Evil, and I give you the Heart Sutra of Lotus to Save Troubles. This is the foundation of the supreme sutras and secrets of our Dharma sect. If you want to complete the practice, you must abide by the precepts and not kill. Are you willing to accept it?" The old monk took it. The scriptures said.

Meng Yuan did not hesitate at all, kowtowed and said: "Disciple is willing to accept."

If you want to play the role of the great benevolent and compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, it is absolutely important not to kill any living beings. Although you may be somewhat tied up in this seemingly dangerous world, this will speed up your performance. When the time comes, you will be able to separate into a Bodhisattva body. The real body will not be restricted, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

What's more, abstaining from killing does not mean being easy to bully. Even Bo Xun felt embarrassed when Sakyamuni became a Buddha, but he had never heard of any demons jumping in front of Bodhisattvas in Buddhist scriptures.

After being tonsured, taking the name of Dharma, and being taught the righteous Dharma, Meng Yuan was now regarded as a true disciple of Buddhism.

But this wonderful and evil Dharma name... He remembers that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva once had a wonderful and good Dharma name, right?Coincidence or destiny?
Before he had time to think, the master asked Meng Yuan to follow him to teach in his meditation room.

After all, although he has obtained the practice method, if no one teaches it, no one can understand those symbols and terms.

The old monk was very experienced, and he allowed Meng Yuan to master the Qi training chapter in one morning.

After running the Heart Sutra, countless spiritual energy from heaven and earth were drawn into Meng Yuan's body. The huge momentum made the old monk very satisfied, and then he left quietly.

And Meng Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was working very hard to suppress it now!
In an instant, an even more turbulent wave of spiritual energy was swallowed into his body like a whale, and he easily reached the early stage of Qi training.

While practicing, Meng Yuan thought about the information from the Holy Records of Gods, Buddhas and Immortals just now. His performance progress reached 5%, and when it reaches 100%, it means that he has successfully performed the role and can obtain a Bodhisattva clone. Know how powerful it is.

And the Lotus Heart Sutra that he is currently practicing seems to be very suitable for the body of the Bodhisattva. Meng Yuan found that his mana was accumulating a little fast, which made him a little flustered. And got used to it.

You don’t have to worry about practicing, it’s just a matter of acting, and the sky eye is unlocked with only 5% of the progress. Will it evolve into wisdom eye, magic eye or even Buddha eye later?There are also various great supernatural powers, but these all need to advance the progress of the performance.

To play a person, you need to start with his behavior habits and hobbies.

What are the behavioral habits and hobbies of the Greatly Compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva...

Two words suddenly appeared in Meng Yuan's mind: Duren.

"Junior brother, break your fast." Miao Le's voice came from outside the door.

"Okay, Second Senior Brother, come here."

Meng Yuan stood up and opened the door with a smile on his face, and went to the dining hall with his second senior brother Miao Le.
