"Yes, but do I get paid for doing things for you?" Ye Tianming looked very serious, as if he was asking about a very important matter.

"No!" A trace of contempt flashed in Leng Lin's eyes, she answered and turned to leave.

As soon as Leng Lin left, Lin Yang slowly walked out from one side, and said with a smile, "It's successful. After passing the inspection, you will be an official apotheosis member."

"What is the content of the investigation?" Ye Tianming asked.

"First of all, we need to examine your strength and development potential; secondly, we must examine your identity, and the eighteen generations of ancestors must check it out; in addition, your character and loyalty will also be tested. Only when you pass the above three items, will the deification organization be formalized. recognize you."

Tianming snorted: "Then let's investigate, no matter whether I pass the test or not, they will definitely not give up on me easily."

For four days in a row, Leng Lin did not appear again, and the time for the Buddhist Dharma Conference that Monk Tianyi had mentioned had arrived. The monk waited at the door of Ye Tianming's house early in the morning. When Tianming went out, Monk Tianyi greeted him with a smile. Come up: "Tianming, follow me!"

When Monk Tianyi blocked the door, Ye Tianming was still chewing on his snacks, and managed to swallow the food. Tianming asked bitterly, "Master, why are you leaving so early?"

Monk Tianyi smiled and said, "Tianming, the Great Master Xiren from India is here in person at this Dharma conference. Master Xiren is honored as a living Buddha by the Indian monks and has great power. We must wait in advance."

"Is Xiren Dafa amazing?" Ye Tianming curled his lips, without the slightest hint of respect.

The expression on Monk Tianyi's face froze, and he gave a wry smile: "Tianming, Monk, I'm here, you should come with me. The ceremony is very beautiful, you won't feel bored."

"What does it mean to look good? Is the monk going to have a striptease party?" Ye Tianming asked jokingly.

The corner of Monk Tianyi's mouth twitched, he didn't have time to argue with Ye Tianming, so he pulled Tianming out and hailed a car to go straight to Foguang Temple.Along the way, Ye Tianming muttered, sometimes he said that he didn't change his suit and tie, and sometimes he said whether there were nuns living in the monk's temple. Hearing that, the old monk Tianyi's face became more and more tense, and he tended to violently hurt others.

The car arrived at Foguang Temple, and when he got out of the car, Ye Tianming was startled by the scene in front of him.

A mountain road several hundred meters long leads directly to the top of the mountain, and above the top of the mountain is the Foguang Temple.There were two rows of monks on both sides of the mountain road to welcome them. They were all bald and solemn, and there were hundreds of them.

"Amitabha! Greetings to Master Tianming!" The monks sang in unison, and then a group of monks hurried down from the top of the mountain, all with white beards, obviously not young.

Ye Tianming's eyes were straightened, and he asked, "Master, are these monks welcoming us?"

Monk Tianyi nodded: "I said earlier, Tianming, you are the successor of the Buddha, don't talk about Foguang Temple, the Bodhisattva will also pay respects to you when he sees you." Then he smiled "haha" and pulled Ye Tianming over slowly.

Ye Tianming has a strange expression, Master Tianming?My lord, this is too ridiculous!

The group of monks on the mountain walked down quickly. The first old monk with white beard, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, bowed respectfully and bowed: "See Master Tianming! Master Tianyi!"

Behind the old monk stood five or six other old monks, all respectfully saluting Ye Tianming.Ye Tianming was dumbfounded by this scene, and at the same time felt a little nervous. Just as he was about to say something like "You're welcome", Monk Tianyi had already introduced the two parties.

"Junior Brother Tianming, this is Zen Master Xuanguang, the abbot of Foguang Temple."

"Zen Master Xuanguang." Ye Tianming pretended to say hello to the old monk at the front.

Monk Tianyi introduced one by one that the few people behind Zen Master Xuanguang were the elders of Foguang Temple, namely Xuanzhi, Xuanhui, Xuankong, Xuanding, Xuanji. A group of old monks respected Ye Tianming.

After the introduction, Zen Master Xuanguang said with a smile: "Master Tianming, the Buddhist Dharma conference in the monastery has been properly arranged. Later, Master Xiren from India will appear. Master Tianming, should we go there in advance and wait?"

Being called a "master", Ye Tianming felt strange in his heart, bit the bullet and nodded: "Okay, everything will be arranged by Master Xuanguang."

Xuan Guang smiled and said, "Yes, please follow me, Master Tianming."

Xuan Guang led the way, Xuan Zhi and others followed behind, and the group slowly climbed the mountain into the temple.

This Foguang Temple is located in the east of Ziyun Mountain. It was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It has a long history and a huge scale. It is one of the famous temples in China.

Ye Tianming and Monk Tianyi were invited into the main hall.The space inside the main hall is huge, with more than twenty red lacquered pillars supporting the roof, the space is spacious and solemn.The hall is more than ten meters high and more than twenty meters wide from east to west and north to south.Ye Tianming entered the main hall, and the hall was already filled with a group of bald monks, sitting silently.

Although there were many people, the hall was very quiet, and you could hear needles dropping.

Monk Xuanguang smiled and said to the monks: "Brothers, this is Master Tianming. Master Tianming is proficient in Buddhism, has great supernatural powers, and the Dharma is boundless."

All the monks looked at Ye Tianming with puzzled eyes, seeing that this young man who is impetuous can also be called a master?
Ye Tianming nodded respectfully to everyone, but he felt funny in his stomach, so he suppressed his laughter.The monks also nodded slightly.

Xuanguang asked Ye Tianming to sit down with Tianyi, all the monks sat down, Xuanguang said with a smile: "A few days ago, Master Tianyi told the poor monk that he has a younger brother who has a great relationship with Buddhism, and he is Master Tianming. The poor monk listened Afterwards, I was very happy, I had been looking forward to seeing you, and today I finally got my wish.”

"Don't dare." Ye Tianming said politely, thinking: "This monk won't talk about Buddhism with me, will he?"

Afraid of what to come, Xuan Guang said again: "There is still a period of time before the meeting. The poor monk wants to ask the master about Buddhism, please give him your advice."

Tianming complained in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he said flatly, "I'm sorry, I know a thing or two."

Xuanzhi behind Xuanguang asked: "Master Tianming, the poor monk has memorized the "Diamond Sutra" by heart, but there are a few lines that I don't understand. I want to ask the master for advice."

Tianming thought: "No, I won't. The more you pretend, the worse it will be. It's better to admit it." Thinking of this, he said lightly, "I don't read Buddhist scriptures."

Except for Monk Tianyi, everyone was stunned and didn't read Buddhist scriptures?
Xuanhui asked suspiciously: "Master, if you don't read Buddhist scriptures, how can you comprehend Buddhism? Reach the Land of Ultimate Bliss?"

Tianming smiled and said nothing, thinking: "This old monk actually asks stupid questions, and I'm not full enough to read Laoshizi Buddhist scriptures!"

When Ye Tianming smiled, his left index finger suddenly twitched, feeling a little uncomfortable.Tianming moved his fingers, and subconsciously made a movement of picking up flowers, vaguely forming a Buddha seal.As soon as the Buddha's seal came out, Ye Tianming felt comfortable all over his body, and his body and mind were clear.At the same time, a sense of enlightenment was conveyed.

Xuan Guang and the others were still puzzled at first, but they saw Monk Tianyi suddenly prostrating on the ground with a look of great joy, seeing Ye Tianming's majestic appearance and perfect temperament before seeing Ye Tianming again.Xuan Guang suddenly realized, and visited with all the elders.

In the distance, a young monk accompanied his master to attend the Dharma meeting. Seeing Xuan Guang and others paying homage, he asked curiously, "Master, why did Master Xuan Guang worship that young man?"

The old monk next to the young monk was thoughtful and murmured: "If you don't write words, you can teach outsiders; if you point directly to people's hearts, you can become a Buddha by seeing your nature. This is the essence of Zen."

The young monk seemed to have thought of something, and silently recited an allusion: The World Honored One held up flowers to show off to the public at the Lingshan Meeting.At that time, everyone was silent, but Venerable Kasyapa broke his face and smiled.The World-Honored One said: "I have the eyes of the righteous Dharma, the wonderful heart of Nirvana, the reality without appearance, the subtle method, no written words, non-teaching outside the teaching, and entrusted to Maha Kasyapa.

This allusion is about the origin of Zen Buddhism. The Buddha passed down Zen Buddhism at the Lingshan Buddhist Association, and Venerable Kasyapa received the mantle.Later, the venerable came across Jiangxi and passed down the Zen Buddhism of the Eastern Lands. The Zen Buddhism is very prosperous.
