Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

Zhike, Shouzuo, Jiansi, etc. heard what Elder Zhizhen said, all of them were dumbstruck, not knowing who this "honored guest" was referring to; Take out a cassock from the wooden box.

The first one saw the cassock that Elder Zhizhen was reluctant to wear on weekdays, and said with a smack of tongue: "The previous Zhishen made a big fuss, and the elder clearly said that this temple is a bodhisattva temple, where thousands of years of pure incense burns, how can we tolerate this Dirty? Now that Zhishen came back in vain, is he worthy of being greeted by an elder in person?"

Jiansi also said: "This cassock is the elder's treasure, and it has not been worn for many years. How can Zhishen afford it?"

"Who are you old monks talking about?" Elder Zhizhen scolded with a smile: "You short-sighted people, who have grown ears, also know that the imperial court has sent a large army to wipe out Tianhu rebels, and now the meritorious deeds have been completed; Zhishen also Serving in the army, and accompanying the distinguished guest up the mountain today, I have already saved myself just now.”

The monks listened, but they didn't believe it, so they asked the zhike carefully; the zhike just heard a sentence from the door, so where could he get the answer? [

At this time Elder Zhizhen had already put on his cassock, tidied his whole body neatly, and said with a smile: "If you don't believe me, you can go out and look west, and you will know."

All the monks rushed out of the abbot's room, looked to the west, and saw a five-color auspicious cloud, changing with the mountain wind, they were all shocked, knowing that what Elder Zhizhen said was true.

It turns out that there are five-color auspicious clouds occasionally appearing in Wutai Mountain. The so-called Buddha's light shines everywhere. There are also legends that these five-color auspicious clouds are in front of Manjusri Bodhisattva's seat, and they only appear when noble people come; In the west, all the monks looked solemn and chanted the Buddha's name together.

"Let's go!" Elder Zhizhen also came out of the Abbot's room, full of energy.

"Where to go?"

"Mountain Gate!"

All the monks came to the front with the elder Zhizhen as if they had just woken up from a dream; the head monk ordered the gate to be opened wide, ready to welcome the distinguished guests.

Those two sects reported the news, and they must close the mountain gate tightly to keep Lu Zhishen out; this time the chief said that the two sects thought they had heard wrong, and looked at each other; later, Elder Zhishen came over in person Only then did I realize that the gate of the mountain was really going to be opened to welcome Lu Zhishen.

Ximen Qing and Lu Zhishen talked and laughed, how did they know all these things along the way?Turning to the mountain gate not far away, I only heard the bells and drums beating in the temple. All the monks came out to greet them, and went forward to salute Ximen Qing and Lu Zhishen.

Ximen Qing almost couldn't laugh out loud when he saw the bald heads and aggressive posture, while Lu Zhishen was quite surprised, he never expected to be greeted with such kindness.

When I was young, the bald heads separated into two paths, and there was a monk in the middle, wearing a golden cassock, saluting, "I've seen you, a distinguished guest!"

When Ximen Qing saw the monk, he was over 60 years old, with white eyebrows and hair, and clear bones. He looked like an eminent monk. : "Why did the elder come out in person?"

It was only then that Ximen Qing knew that the eminent monk in front of him was indeed Elder Zhizhen, the famous living Buddha in Water Margin, who knew the past and the future; if not, Lu Zhishen would not have kept him when he went to Mount Wutai, and personally presided over the shaving for him. Repeated maintenance.

"So it's an elder!" Ximen Qing sincerely saluted again: "I'm a good friend of Lu Zhishen, and my compound surname is Ximen's single name with the word Qing."

Elder Zhizhen returned the salute with a smile: "Master Ximen is conquering the military supervisor army, Tian Hu can be wiped out, it is Mr. Ximen!"

Only then did the monks know what Ximen Qing's status was, and indeed it was a distinguished guest; Elder Zhizhen took the lead, and the supervisor and the head of the temple respectfully led Ximen Qing to the abbot's room. When they met Lu Zhishen, they were also very polite and respectful.

"The Sa family was here at this time, and these bald donkeys were in trouble everywhere, but this time they are so polite!"

Lu Zhishen sneered inwardly, did not speak, returned the courtesy slightly, followed him to the abbot's room, and sat down with Ximen Qing.

The Zhike asked the little novice to offer tea. Ximenqing smelled it, and it was so fragrant; [

"I have heard for a long time that the elder is pure and virtuous, and he has a shallow relationship with vulgarity. I paid homage to his face on the way; I have already completed my work in defeating Tian Hu. I am here to meet the elder. I am very lucky in my life."

People respect me one foot, and I respect others ten feet.

Ximenqing received good treatment, so he naturally spoke politely: "After Zhishen came down from the mountain, he never forgot the elder, so he specially invited Xiaosheng to see the master."

Elder Zhizhen said: "There are often eminent monks here, and they have been idle in the cycle of the world; I have heard for a long time that the Lord Supervising Army reads for the people, supports it alone, and the generals are united, so that this expedition will not be in vain. My disciple Zhishen followed the Lord. Is there any mistake?"

Ximen Qing thanked him endlessly, asked for the sesame oil book, and added a sum.

When the prison temple secretly took it over to look at it, it clicked its tongue. It turned out that Ximenqing was so happy that he promised a thousand guan with a swipe of a pen. This thousand guan is nothing to Ximen Qing, but to Wenshu Monastery, I can't get so much sesame oil money after years.

Lu Zhishen asked the blood-blowing soldiers to bring a pack of gold and silver colored satin to offer to my teacher.

Elder Zhizhen said: "My disciple, where can I get this thing? I dare not accept righteous money."

Lu Zhishen said: "The disciples have accumulated merits and rewards, and the accumulated things will be used by the disciples. They will be dedicated to the teacher in the future for public use."

Elder Zhizhen insisted on not accepting it, Ximen Qing said: "The elder is missing, this is a reward from brother Zhishen's military service, it is clear and clear, why not?"

Elder Zhizhen chanted the Buddha's name, and said to Lu Zhishen: "Since Master Ximen spoke, that's all. It's just that the crowd is hard to get rid of. I will put together a collection of scriptures with you to eliminate evil and achieve good results early."

Lu Zhi thanked you deeply.Ximen Qing said again: "There is one more thing to do on the mountain today, and I hope the elders will fulfill it."

Elder Zhizhen clasped his hands together: "Your Excellency has something to say, just say it through the channel."

Ximen Qing then told about Lu Zhishen's return to secular life. Elder Zhizhen listened for a long time without saying a word, and then said after a long time: "Zhishen is not yet in the world of mortals, and we will have something to say in the Dharma Hall after the fasting tomorrow."

On that day, Ximen Qing, Lu Zhishen and others stayed overnight in Wutai Mountain Temple, and the elders set up a vegetarian meal for each other, so it was no problem.

Let's say that the next day's fasting is complete, the bell and drums are ringing in the Dharma hall of Wutaishan Temple, and the elder Zhizhen will gather all the monks in the Dharma hall to participate in Zen meditation.

After a while, all the monks of the He Temple put on cassocks and sat down in the Dharma Hall.Ximen Qing, Lu Zhishen and other soldiers stood on both sides.

At the sound of the chime, two bowls of red gauze lanterns lead the elders up to the Dharma seat.Elder Zhizhen went to the Dharma seat, first held a stick of incense and praised: "This stick of incense, I wish the emperor's holy life will be as long as the sky, and all people will be happy in their careers. Then I will burn a stick of incense, and wish the Lord of today's fasting will be happy in body and mind, and have a long life." It will be counted as an extension. I will hold on to a stick of incense again, and I hope that the country will be safe and prosperous, the years will be harmonious, the three religions will prosper, and the four directions will be peaceful."

Congratulations are over, sit on the Dharma seat.

After two visits to the monks, they stopped and asked for interrogation, and then they all stood up to serve.

Elder Zhizhen said: "What is the depth of my disciple's wisdom? Let me bring you a certificate."

After Lu Zhishen held incense and worshiped, he put his palms together and approached Elder Zhizhen, and respectfully presented him with a gift; Elder Zhizhen took a picture in his hand, asked the prison temple to accept it, and sighed: "Zhishen, do you know me?" What is the purpose of this Dharma name with you?" [

Lu Zhishen vaguely remembered that he was ordained and ordained in this Dharma hall at that time, and all kinds of things from the past came to his mind. He still remembered the verses of Elder Zhizhen that day, so he replied: "Yes. A little inspiration is worth a thousand gold. The Buddha Dharma is vast, and it is named Zhishen. "

"You have a great predestined relationship with Buddhism, and your achievements in the future will not be inferior to mine." Elder Zhizhen sighed, "Now you are rolling around in the world of mortals, and the three refuges and five precepts are just an example. If this is the case, what is the difference between leaving home and entering home? "

Lu Zhi listened deeply and remained silent.

Elder Zhizhen uttered a verse: "The six sense organs have been bound for many years, and the four elements have been entangled for a long time. In the light of the stone fire, I turned a few somersaults. Hey! All the living beings in the world of Yama and Buddha are roaring frequently in the sand pile."

He said again: "Zhishen, you will convert to Buddhism sooner or later, so I will accept this certificate for you first."

Only then did Lu Zhishen realize that Elder Zhizhen had allowed him to return to the vulgar world, and he was filled with sorrow and joy; the incense burning was over, and all the monks retired, so he invited him to go to the Yuntang for fasting.

After everyone fasted, Ximen Qing and Lu Zhishen followed the elders to the abbot.

Lu Zhishen said: "I don't know when I will come back after this trip. What can my teacher say?"

Elder Zhizhen laughed and said, "I have four verses, which can be used to describe your whole life; but you are already with someone with great luck, and you have to control your future and destiny."

Lu Zhishen understood half-understood, but Ximen Qing could understand: Elder Zhizhen's four verses were originally captured in summer, held on in hot weather, rounded when he heard the "tide", and silent when he saw the letter. Lu Zhishen lived his whole life; now, because of himself, his future and destiny have been changed, that's why the elder said this.

"This old monk is quite capable, why don't you just ask for a few words?" Ximen Qing thought about it, and saluted forward: "The elder is an eminent monk at that time, and I can be a fool, please give me some advice."

Elder Zhizhen heard this, and laughed before saying anything: "Master Ximen is joking with the old monk, isn't he? Your lord is a man of great luck. My disciple Zhishen has followed you, and his future is in his own hands. Instead, your lord came to ask me about my future." ?”

Ximen Qing naturally refused to let it go easily: "It's good to have a few words."

Elder Zhizhen groaned for a while: "Forget it, let the old monk settle down and help Sir take a look."

Then asked the little novice to burn a stick of faith incense, the elder sat cross-legged on the cloud bed, recited mantras, and went to meditation.

After a stick of incense passed, he came back with a face ashen, and shook his head to Ximen Qing: "Ashamed! My lord, not only the future is cloudy, but the back is also unclear; the old monk tried his best to clear the clouds and see the sun, but he was almost caught by the sky. Injured by Ray."

Speaking of that, Elder Zhizhen spread out his hands, and sure enough there were two scorched marks on his palms, as if struck by lightning, he looked at Lu Zhishen in astonishment.

Ximen Qing was next to him and secretly said angrily: "It must have been caused by Master Naluo again. When you have free time, go to Erxian Mountain to confront him face to face and see what he has to say!"

Elder Zhizhen was exhausted mentally and mentally, so he couldn't entertain guests, so Lu Zhishen accompanied him to serve; the elder called Zhike and took Ximenqing to play around the temple.

Knowing Ximen Qing's identity, the Zhike wished he could use all his "milk" strength, explaining to Ximen Qing in detail every time he went, he was more dedicated than the tour guides of later generations.

Ximen Qing saw that he was frothing and his veins were bursting out, and he secretly laughed in his heart; after turning around, he went to the Manjushri True Face Hall, where the statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva was enshrined.

"This was built in the Jingyun period of the previous dynasty. It is said that Manjusri Bodhisattva manifested in real form. After 72 manifestations, the craftsmen molded the true face of Manjusri Bodhisattva, so it is called Zhenrong Hall."

Ximen Qing was too lazy to listen to the wise guest, and just nodded slightly to indicate that the statue of Manjusri Bodhisattva was indeed alive, but Ximen Qing was not interested in it, his eyes swept around the enshrining table, and he was immediately attracted by something looked away.
