Acting as a god and Buddha: starting from Guanzi

Chapter 98 Debt Collection Monk

Squeak!

"So many people?" Miao Le pushed open the gate of the temple, but saw that the gate was already crowded with people, and they all came to grab the first prize.

"The door is open! The door is open!"

"The head incense is mine, don't grab it from me."

"Fart, I came here at midnight last night, it must be mine."

"Zishi? I've been waiting since Haishi, Ma De, when did you squeeze in front of me when you came?"

Seeing that a fight was about to start in the arena, Miao Le hurriedly stepped forward to stop it: "Stop, two benefactors, Buddhism is pure and refrain from fighting."

"Hey, this monk is dirty!" Everyone saw that he was dirty and hurriedly avoided him, and the two people who were fighting for cutting in line also stopped.

Miao Le seemed not to have heard what everyone was secretly talking about him, and said in a loud voice: "Today is the day when my Guanyin Temple opens its doors to welcome incense. Thank you all for coming to support me. However, this temple does not charge money for incense. If you are willing to give incense, It is sincerity."

"Fat monk, why are you blocking the door when you opened it?" someone shouted.

Miao Le smiled and said, "It's just for the safety of all benefactors, so that no old and weak women will be hurt by the crowd. Let's all enter the temple in an orderly manner."

The crowd crowded in noisily, fortunately Miao Le was on the sidelines to restrain them, so it was barely able to control the order.

Pass through the front yard of the front door, and in the main hall in the middle is the place to burn incense. There are disciples holding incense candles at the door, and they can take them if necessary.

A thin-skinned monkey man with quick hands and feet ran in front. Seeing that he was a sweetheart, the corners of his mouth were cracked to the roots of his ears. The Buddha must bless his luck and come back!

I grabbed the incense candle and stepped into the hall. When I looked up, I saw the big "Buddha" hanging above.

Where is the Buddha statue?Why is there no Buddha statue in this temple?

"What kind of ruined temple is this? It doesn't even have a Buddha statue. It made me freeze for most of the night!" the thin monkey man couldn't help but cursed.

Not long after, the rest of the pilgrims also came in, and seeing that there was only one Buddha word on the empty altar table, everyone started complaining for a while.

"This monastery is too simple, can't you even afford a Buddha statue?"

"That's right, offering a Buddha word here, can the Buddha know our mind? It's not a big deal!"

At this time, a gentle voice came from the side: "The Buddha is in your heart, how can you not know your mind?"

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a monk in white clothes who did not know when he appeared there. He is obviously very young and extremely handsome, but people always ignore him subconsciously. They only feel his compassion. Standing beside him A girl with two buns looks very cute.

The two of them just showed up and stood there, and all the resentment and inequality in the hearts of the people disappeared, and they felt peaceful.

"Master, why don't you enshrine any Buddhas in this temple, but just hang the word "Buddha"?" someone asked.

"Because all of us can become Buddhas."

Immediately, Meng Yuan explained to everyone what Mahayana Buddhism is. Some people found it interesting, but some couldn't listen to it. They left the main hall and wandered around the temple.

Someone saw several stone tablets in the backyard, which were covered with inscriptions, which were the Heart Sutra, the Great Compassion Mantra and the Great Wish Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra.

There are disciples standing beside him, and if anyone is interested, they will recite for him.

As more and more people came, even though there was only one word of Buddha, many people still burned incense and knelt down to pray for blessings. A smell of green smoke and incense suddenly filled the surroundings.

At this moment, outside Luoxia Town, there are several monks and Taoists walking into the town clearly.

I just saw that many guys on both sides were neatly arranged but no one was there, so I quickly grabbed a waiter who was watching the shop and asked: "What day is it in town today, why are there no people?"

"The guest officer is from another place, right? You don't know, we have built a new Buddhist temple here, and many people have gone to offer incense."

"Oh? There is my Buddhist temple. When you see the mountain gate, there are three liters of rice. Brothers, let's go and make an order to let these bull-nosed people live in this inn." Taoist priest.

"Hmph! Xiao Er, open three upper rooms for Pindao and the other juniors."

"Okay, let's invite the three Taoists upstairs."

The bearded monk and his three junior disciples came all the way to the gate of Guanyin Temple, and indeed they saw a sea of ​​people, very lively.

"Haha, let's go, there is a lot of money for such a lively incense, and we don't want to lose it to our stomachs."

The four monks walked into the temple without hesitation, and Miao Le, who was looking at the pilgrims in front of him, saw the four of them smiling and stepped forward and asked, "Where are the four brothers from?"

"Bah, where did you come from as a beggar, and why did you become a monk?" But the bearded man swung his sleeves and covered his mouth and nose with disgust on his face.

Miao Le was a little embarrassed and said: "Brother, forgive me, the poor monk is only for cultivation."

"Stop talking nonsense, since you are a monk in this temple, quickly go and ask your abbot and abbot to come to see me and prepare a table for us to enjoy."

It turned out to be a door-to-door debt collector!Miao Le secretly thought, if he hadn't worried that today was a big day in the temple and there were many pilgrims present, he would have insisted on talking to them.

"Brothers, please come with me. The abbot is receiving pilgrims and cannot be separated for the time being. The poor monk will prepare a banquet for you." Miao Le said with a smile.

The four monks happily went and were led into an empty room at the back by Miao Le.

"Four senior brothers wait a moment, I'll go and present the dishes here."

"go Go."

Miao Le immediately turned around and left, a strange smile flashed across her face, "There is a banquet, but I don't know if you dare to eat it?"
Then he called a disciple and said, "Go to the market and buy some bad ones."

"Ah? Why doesn't Second Master buy the good ones and only buy the bad ones?"

"Why do you ask so many questions, go quickly."

After sending the young disciple away, Miao Le immediately hummed a little tune and continued to the front yard to maintain order.

Not long after, the old monk who went to ask for wise words came back.

"Brother, what about Master?"

Miao Yan shook his head: "Master, if you don't come, we, junior brother, are good at life and practice."

To put it all together, Master said that he would not come, and he just asked us to practice with our junior brother for a long time.

"Master, Second Master, I bought something back."

At this time, I saw the little disciple running towards him with a big package, covering his nose.

"Okay, you've worked hard, let's go rest."

Miaoyan was a little confused and said, "Junior brother, what?"

"Hehe, let's not hide it, brother, a few fellow disciples came to our monastery to collect debts and find fault, and they opened their mouths to have a banquet. I specially asked my disciples to buy good meat and vegetables, and I am going to entertain them." Miao Le's two small eyes flashed Excited thief light.

Miao Yan was also a little angry, but still worried: "Trouble?"

"I have observed the auras of the four monks, they are all in the Foundation Establishment Stage, so it's not a big deal."

"Go together."

Immediately, the two brothers and sisters took the package and went to the meditation room where the four monks were resting. Right outside the door, they heard these people discussing where to go for entertainment after eating.

Seeing the two of Miao Le coming, the bearded monk even asked: "Junior brother, are there prostitutes in this town?"

"This junior brother doesn't know."

"Hmph! Forget it, let's find it ourselves after eating."

Immediately, a few monks took the bag and opened it. When they saw the contents, someone couldn't help retching and said, "Whoa! What is it?"

Miao Le immediately smiled and said: "This is the high-end banquet that the four senior brothers want."

"Playing with me?"

The bearded monk immediately stared at Miao Le with unkind eyes. His aura in the late stage of foundation building was undisguised, and he immediately alarmed Meng Yuanlai who was in the hall giving guidance to the pilgrims.

　Also in the afternoon.
