Beginning as a Tantric Academy Monk

Chapter 272: Right and Wrong
When the first ray of sunshine belonging to the grassland passed through the room, Zhaju Temple was already boiling. Many academic monks went to the Cuoqin Hall to chant sutras, and the sound of the sutras was like a series of holy hadas, falling on the entire Zhaju Monastery.

In Lu Feng's group of monasteries, no one came in or out.

Lu Feng woke up early and was doing his morning exercises seriously. After finishing his morning exercises, Lu Feng went downstairs and found that Master Zhenshi had left.

In Zhaju Monastery, the morning meal is borne by the temple, but you have to go to the Tsochen Hall to chant sutras and pray. When you come out, there will naturally be cooking monks outside the Tsochen Hall, and they will leave the rice to those who come out of the academy. In the monk's wooden bowl, it doesn't matter whether he is full or not, as long as he has some, it will be good.

This is a meal provided free of charge to the monks in the temple. The rest of the meals and accommodation must be purchased with money. "Common men", that is, tasks such as serving tea and water, sweeping the floor and carrying pots, holding flags and flags, can be done by these monks, which can offset the money.

However, a benefactor and a big benefactor like Lu Feng is useless.

——They all have their own cooks and kitchens, and they don’t have to compete with these “study monks” for food. More importantly, chanting sutras in the morning has nothing to do with practice. Monks like Lu Feng have their own practice plans and there is no need to be in the Tsoqen Hall, which delays their own practice opportunities.

Just like today, when the sun is three fingers wide, only Pema is left in this courtyard.

When the sun just rose, Lu Feng and Master Zhenshi had already gone out. Lu Feng took several envelopes of money and went out to look for his teacher, while Master Zhenshi went to look for old friends and plan his own future. , everyone has something to do.

At dawn, the air here is very fresh. The smell of grass mixed with the smell of incense and even peppercorns spreads into Lu Feng's nostrils along the wind. Lu Feng can also see the "Discipline" walking and patrolling here. monk".

It is also a reasonable thing.

These monks are walking around to prevent the monks from breaking the precepts. Of course, the most important thing they do is to prevent the academic monks from urinating everywhere.

Lu Feng walked past them and saw the monk's robes on Lu Feng's body. These "discipline monks" didn't pay much attention to Lu Feng. Lu Feng walked along the narrow alley, walking up and down, turning left and right, and finally reached the "Chasing Road" of this complicated monastery. Outside the dormitory, I found the place where the masters lived.

The sun was high in the sky at noon, and the steam was steaming. Even though it wasn't summer, it was still incredibly hot. He had just arrived at the "Sutra Debating Institute" in the afternoon. The "Sutra Debating Institute" in Zhaju's temple also differed in size.

Lu Feng calmed down his mind and came to the place where he found two masters. He performed discipleship rituals and made offerings at the temple. He asked them to teach him Sanskrit and "witchcraft" knowledge. These two masters were also good, but he had something to say first. , is no different from the "Endless White Pagoda Temple", that is, they all swear to the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and it is impossible to break the oath and teach these Sanskrit and "witchcraft" learning methods to the people without their permission. others.

'Everything here is like walking on thin ice'.

There are small sutra-debating institutes in Dracang monastery and school villages. They are not in any shape. Rather than saying they are sutra-debating institutes, it is more like everyone found an empty place.

Lu Feng thought of the "merits of the Secret Law Realm" that he had. The great monk in the Secret Law Realm was undoubtedly a special person who occupied a lot of resources in the Secret Law Realm. When he transformed into "Wolf Mother Li Wei", he saw if there was any In the Tantric Dharma Realm, which is the same as life, it is not impossible that these monks have "eaten" so much material from the Tantric Dharma Realm, and that the Tantric Dharma Realm requires them to do some incredible things.

It is in the exam syllabus, but it is not among the important subjects. When you reach the "Fourth Level" exam, you have to go to the "Secret Academy" to learn the basics of Esoteric Buddhism, and Lu Feng feels that things may not be that simple.

The "Fourth Level Examination" may mean that he can become a great guru simply by succeeding in the examination and by successfully debating sutras.

Lu Feng also thought of Master Zhuoge Dunzhu - he came all the way to the "Gaqila Family". When he went to take the exam for the "Fourth Level" monk's degree, he dreamed of it in front of the hall of Soma God of War. After encountering his own obstacle demon and coming here specifically to eliminate the demon, he returned to the "Pingzan Vajra Temple". Lu Feng suspected that this might also be a part of the exam.

Lu Feng is incompetent.

At this time, just as I was thinking about the reasons for the fight between the old monk A Kang and the presiding master, when I thought of this, I felt the tide of karma approaching.

Every time when his thoughts reached this point, Lu Feng would end his thoughts without hesitation with the "Great Compassion Rhyme".

This is the reason why Lu Feng does not dare to think deeply. He is afraid that if he thinks deeply, his "three hearts" will not be able to maintain the true nature of his nature, and will be shattered by a sudden disaster!

After agreeing on a study time with three masters of the "Shang" generation, Lu Feng went to the Sutra Printing Academy without stopping, took a note, and borrowed a "dictionary". Even with Lu Feng's pace, it took him a whole morning to complete all of this.

There is coming and going, and after eating its food, it is necessary to do its work.

This is also the most important part - don't defecate anywhere in the temple! For such sutra-study monks, these "discipline monks" have a very simple method: hang them up and beat them.

Lu Feng paid a courtesy visit and found three teachers for himself.

After thinking about this, Lu Feng got goosebumps all over his body, and the hairs were clearly visible one by one! A heart is constantly sinking and needs to be rescued by Buddhist teachings.

He had figured it out before coming here that he needed a "Sanskrit" teacher and a "shaman writing, rhythm, and grammar" teacher. As for drama and astrology, although they were also included in the Xiaowu Ming, they were not included in the exam. No one knows how to dabble in it, so there is no need - just like the "Sixth Stage" and the "Fifth Stage", both will take the "Five Major Treatises", but the in-depth understanding involved is also very different.

Most of them were monks wearing waistcoats, basking in the sun, sitting on the steps outside the main hall, watching several monks debating scriptures together.

This kind of debate is not dangerous at all. At most, some "student monks" have a stronger temper. During the debate, they can't help but use their fists and kicks. As long as they don't use any dirty tricks at this time, the people around them will People will also make noises, and if they are beaten, they are beaten, and usually nothing will happen afterwards.

Lu Feng glanced around and saw that there were all "study monks" here, and there were very few monks with "sixth-level degrees" among them.

Anyway, Lu Feng went over and saw the monk's robes Lu Feng was wearing, and everyone made way for him.

Lu Feng sat among these "study monks" and saw several pairs of people debating. They were all engrossed in the debate and did not pay attention to the people outside. They exerted pressure by clapping their hands on the back and stamping their feet. Lu Feng listened to the debate of these "study monks" without saying a word.

As soon as he pricks up his ears, he can hear many flaws, but for him, this is nothing to be happy about - he is inherently better than these people, and compared with these "study monks", What good does it do him?
So he went to the real "Sutra Debating Field". Behind the "Eight Arms" Zhaju Monastery and the Sutra Printing House, he found the "Sutra Debating Field" under the old Yinsen tree. Lu Feng stood there, If you don't go in, you just stand there and don't move.

'picture. '

When Lu Feng looked at this "Sutra Debating Institute", he knew very clearly that the "Sutra Debating Institute" of Zhaju Temple and the "Sutra Debating Institute" of the "Lianhua Qinzao Temple" that Lu Feng saw were at least those of the great Pandita Masters. The "Debate Institute" "created" by the masters with the great Buddha's Dharma and great power is very similar. This cannot be an illusion.

Lu Feng knew that he would not have any illusions. If he did, the consequences would be more terrifying than if he had no illusions. If he had any illusions, it meant that something had affected his Buddha mind. .

Lu Feng "wipes" his Buddha nature and imagines it to be like a flawless precious mirror. All things in the "color" world are reflected in his precious mirror. That's it. Lu Feng It is clear that this is not his illusion. The Zhaju Temple may have an unexplained causal connection with the "Lotus Temple".

Thinking about it, this is not unbelievable. The "Zhaju Temple" can ask the master to carry the "Bodhisattva" up the mountain, and the "Luoren" area is indeed the territory of the "Zhaju Temple". Lu Feng "sees the subtle things", He watched the blue and red Dharma flags rolling up in the wind in the distance, but in this resemblance, the door and various glazed tiles actually looked a bit like a Buddhist temple in China.

The afternoon wind blew towards Lu Feng along the "Sutra Debate Institute", bringing with it a large number of "Sutra Debate" sounds. Among the sounds of "Sutra Debate", Lu Feng also saw among these sutra flags, The prayer flags with the "Horsa-headed King's Curse Wheel" symbolize the "prosperity of the six animals".

While observing, a person suddenly walked up quietly behind Lu Feng. He walked from behind Lu Feng, still one person away from Lu Feng. He raised one foot and was about to step on Lu Feng. When he saw Feng's shadow, he suddenly stood still!
Ganing raised his head slightly and saw a pair of cold and ruthless eyes. These eyes appeared strangely on the back of Lu Feng's head, staring at him. Ganing put down his steps and stood still.

"Master Yongzhen!"

Ganing Renton Tashi shouted.

Lu Feng just turned around at this time, as if he had just seen Master Ganing. He clasped his hands and said, "Master Ganing, I haven't seen you for a long time. I wish you good luck."

Young Master Ganing looked at Lu Feng who turned around and said to Lu Feng: "Yes, yes, I never thought that you would also come to Zhaju Monastery - to take the fifth level monk examination?"

Seeing Lu Feng nod, Ganing continued: "Yongzhen, do you know that this is the year when the 'Supreme Great Title Hutuktu' of the 'Temple of the Origin of All Dharmas' will be enthroned?

Therefore, there will be two academic examinations and scripture debates this year. I will take this one and you will take the other one. How about that?

——If you agree to my words, I have nothing to give you, Yongzhen, I don’t know if you have heard of Jiubai, but if you agree to my promise, I can give you a head in the desert that symbolizes nothingness. I will present you with a very auspicious white camel and eight white horses that are comparable to gold. As long as you agree to these, you will not participate in the same debate!
You and I should both be masters of the 'fifth level', so why bother colliding with each other? "

Gan Ning held the bone knife at his waist. Lu Feng pretended that he had not seen anything. His eyes were clear and he said without arrogance or arrogance: "Listening to Master Gan Ning's words, it seems that you and I are raising Zha to this temple." The qualifications for the 'fifth level' examination are already in the palm of your hand.

Master, our words should be like oaths carved in stone, not like clods of soil scattered by the wind.

Do you think so? Master Ganing?
And let’s not talk about the fact that you and I divided up the qualifications for the examination. Master Ganing, maybe you still don’t know that your father, Mr. Ganing, promised me and my good master Zhiyuan the estate. , originally this matter should have nothing to do with you - but now it sounds like, Master Ganing, you don't seem to be unable to repay your debt.

Master Zhiyuan has passed away, but I still have to take my share. Master Ganing, I will make up for the dead, and I will make up for the dead!
Don’t rely on it!
not to mention……"

Lu Feng looked at Young Master Ganing and said, "Ganing Manor is my life barrier, and there is no way to escape it."

Lu Feng had made the matter very clear. Ganing heard Lu Feng's words. He stared at Lu Feng and said, "In that case, since Master Yongzhen is unwilling, forget it."

He Zhi took Lu Feng to the "Debate Institute" to take a look at the debate at Zhaju Temple. Lu Feng naturally agreed. Zhi Lufeng said that his behavior did not look like a man from the esoteric realm, but like a wasp behind his back. The needle hid Lan Youyou's poison behind his back.

Young Master Ganing put a smile on his face and said: "Master Yongzhen said, that is the scene of hell. Master Yongzhen, you don't dare to speak nonsense like this, it is a violation of the precepts, your tongue will be ripped out and thrown into It’s in hell!”

Lu Feng nodded and said: "That's right, that's right. What Master Ganing taught you is that Yongzhen made a mistake."

Neither of them looked like a raging bull. They stopped murdering, Wuyou's eyes were red, and they were still able to walk together. When they entered the "School of Debate", they felt like they had seen each other before. The feeling rose in Lu Feng's heart again.

Lu Feng saw that the Great Sutra Debate Academy in Zhaju Monastery was very similar to the Sutra Debate Academy he saw at the foot of Zahu Langnuo Mountain. There are small debate sites one after another, and the order is divided on a central line.

The section on the middle line should be where the prestigious Buddha sits. Underneath the place where the Buddha sits is the square.

In the afternoon, there were many monks here. Most of the monks took off their monk clothes and wore a yellow-lined waistcoat. They hung the monk clothes on their arms and were debating scriptures in pairs.

In many places, "magic-dropping rods" can be seen.

There are mantra wheels in many places. Ganing did not leave Lu Feng's side. He followed Lu Feng and explained to Lu Feng: "Master Yongzhen, this is the place where the 'Zhaju Monastery' debates scriptures.

Master Yongzhen, these mantra wheels seem to prevent people from seeing these monks debating scriptures, but in fact they are for protection.

The words of many monks are like steel knives piercing into people's hearts. Without the corresponding degree, they cannot stand nearby to listen.

It is here that you can see monks of the "sixth level" and monks of the "fifth level" debating scriptures with each other.

However, if you have the opportunity, you can also see "fourth-level monks" debating scriptures here - such things are very rare.

It is even more impossible for the 'third-level monks' to 'debate' scriptures here. The 'third-level monks' debating scriptures has already become a grand event, and they will announce all the selected debate topics in advance. Come out and choose a time. At that time, many great donors and many great Buddhas from other temples will go there to watch. "

Young Master Ganing said, and he added the last sentence with unfinished meaning: "Therefore, sometimes, Master Yongzhen does not teach people how to pass, not to hinder him, but to help him! Master Yongzhen , do you understand?"

Lu Feng looked at the "hot" Debate Academy, nodded, took off his monk's robes very sincerely, hung it on his arm, saluted Master Ganing and said: "Little monk Wuwu Baita Temple Yongzhen, Ask Master Ganing for advice, ask Master Ganing for advice!"
