Chapter 211 Dispute
Hong Tianxiao secretly laughed in his heart and said: "How could I have forgotten this matter? The lamas here first sent people to deliver letters to Beijing, and at the same time sent people to pester them here. This idiot has to come out." Just as he thought of this, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the mountain gate.

Hong Tianxiao said: "Let's go, let's go and see the excitement." He waved to Su Quan and Fang Yi and went out together.

When we arrived at the gate of the monastery, we saw more than a dozen lamas in yellow clothes surrounding the Zhike monk, yelling: "We must search, someone saw him come to Qingliang Temple with his own eyes." Why hide him?" "Just hand him over obediently, otherwise, hum!"

Amidst the noise, Abbot Chengguang came out, and seeing more than 20 people at the door, he asked, "What happened?"

Zhike Monk had already had his head dizzy due to the crowd's quarrel, and now seeing Cheng Guang coming, he was overjoyed, he hurriedly broke free from the crowd's siege, came to Cheng Guang's side with a stride, and said, "It's good to teach the abbot to know that they... As soon as he uttered the word "abbot", all the lamas surrounded Chengguang and shouted, "You are the abbot? That's great!" "Hand over him quickly! If you don't, even you The monastery was also burned to the ground." "It's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable!" "Is it unreasonable to be a monk?"

Cheng Guang felt dizzy at the moment, so he had to change the subject and said, "My senior brothers, which temple are you from? Why are you here at our temple?"

A lama with a yellow robe and a red cassock said: "We came from Tibet and were ordered by the living Buddha to go to the Central Plains for business. How could we know that a young lama who followed was abducted by a thief monk and hid in Qingliang Temple?" Get up. Monk Abbot, quickly hand over our little lama, otherwise we will never let you go."

Cheng Guang said: "That's strange, we are here in the Green Temple of Zen Buddhism, and have never had anything to do with Tibetan Tantric Buddhism. The little lama is lost in your place, why don't you go to the Yellow Temple to ask about it?"

The lama said angrily: "Someone saw with his own eyes that the little lama was in Qingliang Temple, so he came to ask about it. Otherwise, we have enough to eat and have nothing to do, so come here to mess around? It's interesting, hand over the little lama, we So I don’t look at the face of the monk, I look at the face of the Buddha, and I don’t want to pursue it anymore.”

Cheng Guang shook his head and said: "If there is a young lama who came to Qingliang Temple, even if you don't ask, the old monk will not allow him to stay." But he wondered in his heart, it seems that this group of lamas and that Mr. Hong and his party just now are all for the sake of doing things. Senior Brother Chi came, it's just that after so many years, no one knew about Brother Xingchi's practice in Qingliang Temple, why two groups of people came to make trouble today, judging from this, I'm afraid someone will come again.

Several lamas shouted in unison: "Since you said you are not there, let us search for it. If we really can't find it, then we can believe your words!"

Cheng Guang still shook his head and said: "This is a pure place of Buddhism, how can we allow people to search as soon as they say it."

The leading lama said: "If it's not a guilty conscience, why don't we let us search? It can be seen that this little lama is definitely in Qingliang Temple."

As soon as Cheng Guang shook his head, two lamas stretched out their hands at the same time, grabbed his collar and shouted loudly: "Do you want to search?"

Another lama opened his mouth and said harshly: "Could it be that the great monk's temple harbors women from good families, afraid that people will find out? Otherwise, what's the point of searching?" At this time, more than ten monks from Qingliang Temple also came out, but they were stopped by all the lamas. I can't get to the abbot's side.

After hearing this, Hong Tianxiao thought to himself, there are indeed two good women, but they were not harbored by Abbot Chengguang, but by me, Hong Tianxiao.

At this moment, a white light flashed, and the two lamas had already drawn out their sharp knives, touching Cheng Guang's chest and heart, and said sharply: "If you don't let the search be made, I will kill you first."

There was no fear on Cheng Guang's face, and he said, "Amitabha, you are disciples of Buddhism, why are you so violent?"

The two lamas moved their sharp knives slightly forward, and shouted: "Monk, we are going to offend you." Cheng Guang turned slightly, and the two lamas stabbed each other's chest with their sharp knives.The two hurriedly put their left hands together, and with a "snap", they each backed away a few steps. When the others saw Cheng Guang showing this hand, they were all shocked and shouted at the same time: "Abbot of Qingliang Temple murdered someone! Kill him!" man."

Amidst the shouts, another three or forty people rushed in at the gate, including monks, lamas, and a few lay people in robes. An old lama in a yellow robe and white beard shouted loudly: "The abbot of Qingliang Temple committed murder. Yet?"

Seeing this, Cheng Guang knew that this matter had been premeditated, clasped his palms together and said, "A monk is based on compassion, how dare he prescribe the precept of killing? Brothers, benefactors, where did you come from?" He turned to a monk in his 50s and said : "It turns out that the abbot Xinxi of Foguang Temple came to visit, and he was far away to welcome, offend, offend."

Foguang Temple is the oldest temple on Mount Wutai. It was built during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was called Mount Wutai when the Foguang Temple was built at that time, and the name of Mount Wutai was not changed until the beginning of the Sui Dynasty.In Buddhism, the status of Foguang Temple is far higher than that of Qingliang Temple. Abbot Xinxi is obviously the head of all the Qing Temples in Mount Wutai.

The monk was born with a fat head and fat ears, his face was full of oil, and he said with a smile: "Brother Chengguang, let me introduce you to two friends." Pointing to a short but very strong lama who was about 40 years old at that time, he said: " This is the Great Lama Master Bayan who just came from Lhasa, Tibet, and he is the most favored and powerful Da Lama under the Living Buddha."

Cheng Guang joined hands and said, "It's my destiny to pay homage to the Great Lama." Bayan nodded and returned the salute with an air of arrogance.

Xinxi pointed to a literati in his thirties who was wearing a blue shirt, and said, "This is a famous scholar in western Sichuan, Mr. Huangfu from Huangfu Pavilion."

Huangfu Pavilion cupped his hands and said: "The Great Monk Chengguang Jiu Yang is an eminent monk who has attained Taoism in Shaolin. He is skilled in martial arts. To see you today is really a blessing."

Cheng Guang said together: "The old monk is getting old, and he has already forgotten all the trivial skills he learned when he was a child. The layman Huangfu has both civil and military skills, which is really gratifying."

After hearing this, Hong Tianxiao thought to himself, this Huangfu Pavilion is the same as Lu Gaoxuan, both civil and military, but I don't know who this person is under, if he can be taken under his command, he will definitely be a good helper.Thinking of this, Hong Tianxiao couldn't help but look at Huangfu Pavilion twice more, but unexpectedly, Huangfu Pavilion was also looking at him, and the two eyes met, and they both admired each other.

Bayan said: "Great Monk, I brought a young disciple out of Tibet, but he was detained in your temple. For the sake of the living Buddha's golden face, let him go, and everyone will accept your sympathy."

Cheng Guang smiled slightly, and said: "These senior brothers are making noise in our temple, and I don't have the same knowledge as them. The master is a reasonable person, how can he listen to people's words? Since the construction of Qingliang Temple, it is only today that there is only a lama. When you say that we have accepted disciples from your seat, where do you start?"

Bayan rolled his eyes, and shouted: "Could it be that you have been wronged? You don't... don't drink the toast... eat the toast." He is not very fluent in Chinese, but the words "do not eat the toast and eat the toast" are reversed. I said it.

Hong Tianxiao was better, Su Quan and Fang Yi were both girls, and they couldn't help laughing when they heard Bayan's sentence, "You don't have to eat the toast for fine wine".

When Bayan heard someone laughing at him, he couldn't help being furious, turned his head to look over there, but saw two very handsome younger brothers, thought they were easy to bully, so he said harshly: "Grandma, what did the Buddha say wrong?" In other words, you actually laughed at the Buddha, don’t you think your life is too long?”

Hong Tianxiao originally just wanted to watch the fun from the sidelines, but he didn't expect that because of the chuckle of the second daughter, everyone's attention would be diverted to his side, and he also inadvertently temporarily helped Chengguang out of the siege, so he stepped forward and said, "I'm here!" My surname is Hong, I am giving alms in Qingliang Temple, just now I heard that the two masters are in a stalemate because of this matter, I have an idea, I wonder if it is feasible?"

"What method?" Bayan was the most impatient, and asked first.In fact, this sentence is also what Cheng Guang, Huangfu Pavilion and others want to ask the most, but their cultivation is much deeper than Bayan.

Hong Tianxiao said with a smile: "I think that the two of you are arguing endlessly here, and you can't come to any conclusions. It's just hurting your peace. In my opinion, whether the little lama is hiding in Qingliang Temple or not? It is true, this matter is a dispute between Qingliang Temple and Master Bayan. Although Elder Xinxi is not the person involved, he has friendship with both parties after all, so he should avoid it for a while. Why not use Layman Huangfu and his disciples as witnesses , everyone randomly searched everywhere in Qingliang Temple, worshiped Buddha when they saw Buddha, and nodded when they met monks. Everywhere, every monk has seen it. If you still can’t find the little lama, it’s not that nothing has happened. ?”

After all, Hong Tianxiao still wanted to search in Qingliang Temple, and Hong Tianxiao had already calculated the current strength comparison. The strength of the seven of them plus old monk Chengguang and Xingdian was enough to deal with these people, so he was confident , Even if they find out the old Shunzhi emperor, there is no risk.

A look of displeasure flashed across Cheng Guang's face, and he said, "These senior brothers from the Tantric sect came from far away from Tibet, so it's no wonder that they don't understand the rules of our Han people. This Mr. Hong seems to be a very well-bred person." Why do you say such things? If this little lama really got lost on Mount Wutai and searched monasteries after monastery, how could he only look for me at Qingliang Temple."

"Hey, I don't know much about this, but Master Chengguang is right, Master Xinxi, Master Bayan, how about this, you start from the bottom of the mountain to search temple by temple, if there are other temples There is no need to search in Qingliang Temple again, and I can use this time to finish the ritual, what do you think?" Hong Tianxiao suddenly changed the subject and began to help Master Chengguang.

After Bayan heard this, he immediately roared: "That's not allowed. Someone saw with his own eyes that this little lama was indeed hidden in Qingliang Temple, so we came to investigate. Otherwise, we wouldn't dare... and we wouldn't Dare to be so... so presumptuous." He reversed the word "presumptuous" again, but right now the sword is on the verge of breaking out, and if he can't say a word, he will attack, ranging from bleeding to death, so no one finds it funny anymore.

Cheng Guang asked suspiciously, "I don't know who saw it?"

Bayan stretched out his hand and pointed to Huangfu Pavilion and Elder Xinxi standing on his right side: "This Mr. Huangfu and Elder Xinxi met together, both of them are very famous people, and they will definitely not lie. "
