Evil Dao Ghost Confucian Demon Monk

Chapter 98
Monk Yixin stopped him and said: "Lingshan Temple has a rule that registered disciples cannot receive full precepts and can only be novice monks. Although I don't like this temple rule, I can't violate the temple rule.

In addition, there is a rule in the temple that all novice monks should be a generation shorter when they meet monks of the same generation.The seniority of the monks in the temple is arranged in the order of "speaking the truth in a small way, and seeing the nature clearly".

From now on, when you meet monks of Xinzi generation, you can call each other brothers and sisters.However, those who meet Ming characters must regard themselves as juniors and give in with respect, otherwise they will violate the temple rules and will be severely punished by the Discipline Academy. "

Wang Jitu changed his mind and asked: "Shouldn't those who see the seniority call me Shishu?"

"No! They can ignore your existence, and they will not violate the temple rules." Monk Yixin shook his head and replied, but sighed again: "The registered disciples have a low status in the temple. In the eyes of the Buddha, all living beings Equality. The temple rules divide people into three, six, and nine grades. Although I don’t like it, I can’t change it. As a young novice, your future practice will be very difficult, have you thought about it?”

No matter how many thoughts Wang Jitu has, what if he really wants to give up his practice and go down the mountain?Immediately kowtowed to Monk Yixin, and shouted respectfully: "Master!"

Monk Yixin nodded and said: "Apprenticeship is just a form, you can do whatever you want."

Wang Jitu still bowed respectfully three times.

"As a novice, you don't have a dharma name. Your novice name is 'Jitu', but in my opinion, it doesn't matter what you call it. You are still Wang Jitu.

Within my monastery, you can act as you please, but when you leave this monastery, you must abide by your duty and act carefully. "Monk Yixin gave some instructions, and then he talked about the rules of the temple to the 'Jitu Shami' at this time.

One of them made Wang Jitu look forward to it a little more.

Every few years, Lingshan Temple will select a few outstanding talents from among the many novice monks, and they will be selected by all the temples in a unified manner. The novice monks can be promoted and obtain the status of monks.

With this expectation, Wang Jitu went to sleep in the monk's room next door.But in the Zen courtyard, the monk Yixin sat quietly on the futon, carved on a piece of bright yellow wood, and injected a few Buddhist magic powers into it from time to time.

In the early morning of the second day, Wang Jitu took a piece of bright yellow wood engraved with "Jidu" and put on a monk's robe, and was pulled to him by the monk Yixin, and told him to his face. "As far as your current situation is concerned, if you stay in the 'Sikong Courtyard', you can only see 'the courtyard is empty, the world is empty', and you can't get anything. You have to find out what you need for cultivation. Go to the 'Stele Corridor' Go and see."

Wang Jitu adjusted the monk robes on his body.The monk's robe is gray and ordinary in style.He patted the folds of the monk's robe, and walked towards the place that the monk Yixin said.It didn't take long for him to appreciate the difference between a novice and a monk.

Because the name tags are all sideways on the waist, and are buckled on the belt with fine silk.The monk and the novice can be clearly distinguished through the name tag.

The monks are all wearing exquisite monk robes, all in soap color, and the name tag is made of fire red wood, which clearly marks the seniority.

The novice monk wears ordinary monk robes, all in gray, and the name tag is made of bright yellow wood, with various names and different patterns engraved on the name tag.

Along the way, as long as both of them are monks, they must greet each other when they meet.

If a novice met a monk, the novice would salute and greet him, but the monk ignored him, turned his nostrils to the sky, and walked away.

If two novice monks meet, they usually tithe together and don't talk to each other. They come and go in a hurry and look very busy.

When Wang Jitu saw this, he felt that the temple was too different from what he had imagined, and instead he missed the group of wild monks who acted recklessly back then.Although they are evil, they have a good temper.If you don't do evil things, maybe you can still make friends with them.

Wang Jitu walked in the temple, walking all the way alone, feeling a little lonely.

stele gallery.The place where Lingshan Temple releases missions.

This place used to be a place where monks carved Buddhist scriptures, and later gradually became a place where monks exchanged materials for practice.Now it is recognized as the task release place of Lingshan Temple.

In Lingshan Temple, there are very few Zen temples that focus on enlightenment like Monk Yixin.In other Buddhist monasteries, there will be many chores during practice.Eminent monks cherish time like gold in their practice, and have no time to deal with trivial matters.As a result, each monastery assigned trivial matters as tasks, and at that time, they would give Lingshi Lingxiang to the disciples who accepted the task.

Across a group of bald heads, Wang Jitu moved to a stone tablet and looked at it.Hundreds of missions are written densely on the stele.There is a task of carrying spiritual water from the mountain behind Lingshan Temple.There is a task of going to the pharmacy to smash medicine and make alchemy to watch the fire.

Quests are rewarded with spirit stones and incense, but there are often two prices marked after the mission.

For example, take on the task of carrying spiritual water.The monk carries a bucket of five spirit stones.But under the novice, it says "the novice carries a bucket of water and fifty spiritual incense".

Wang Jitu asked a novice with a bright yellow card next to him, "Junior brother, what's the matter with this spirit stone and spirit incense?"

"Don't dare, uncle, you are wrong. You are a disciple of a monk of the righteous generation, and the younger one is only a disciple of a monk of the Ming generation." The novice immediately paid a tithe.

"How do you know?" Wang Jitu asked strangely.

"Your name tag has the imprint of the green lotus flower. But mine has the imprint of the honeysuckle flower." The novice replied respectfully.

"Oh, so that's the case." Wang Jitu took a closer look at his name tag at this time, and the pattern on it was indeed a lotus pattern.

"What does Uncle Master want to ask?" the monk asked.

Wang Jitu told him what he was confused about.

The novice immediately explained to him.

"Spiritual incense is a special spirit item made by this temple. According to the temple regulations, every [-] incense sticks can be exchanged for a spiritual stone.

But the monks disliked the poor quality of the spirit incense, and all asked for spirit stones.This creates a situation where Lingshi has a price but no market.Often after completing the tasks of various Buddhist monasteries, the novices are given spiritual incense, but the monks are given spiritual stones.Fortunately, spiritual incense is not useless, at least only spiritual incense and no spiritual stones are collected in the Sutra Pavilion and Ligou Courtyard. "The monk talked eloquently: "As for the task that the uncle asked about.The doorway here is deep.Those easy-to-do tasks were privately divided up by the monks before they were placed on the stone tablet.How could it be our turn to novice monks?Most of the tasks left on the stone tablet are onerous, and the spirit stones obtained are few.Only a small number of monks will pick up leaks here. "Although the novice has accepted the reality, there is still a trace of indignation on his face.

Wang Jitu frowned and asked, "According to what you said, there are still easy tasks on the stele."

"Of course. The monk is not the Lord of Buddha, so how can he understand everything. Some tasks seem easy but are actually difficult. Some tasks seem difficult but are actually easy. Anyway, that's the thing." The novice replied with a smile.

Wang Jitu thanked this nephew.The novice said he didn't dare to do it, and pointed to the deacon monk sitting under the shade of the tree and said: "If the uncle is interested in any task, just click the name tag at the task place, and then report there." Walking under the tree, it is obvious that he has already set his sights on a task.

Wang Jitu looked at the task on the stele again, thinking about picking up the leak in his heart, and his eyes became more lively.

Some tasks require more than one person.Seeing that many disciples were clicking there, until it was full, the task suddenly lit up.Seeing this, the monks behind stopped clicking and went to find other tasks.

The deacon monk sitting under the shade waved his hand, and a large group of monks walked out talking and laughing.

Some tasks only need one or two people, and they can be clicked almost without waiting.

Wang Jitu happened to see a mission.It was written that the precepts academy was on duty for seven days. "Well, it's just standing guard, and you can exchange for thirty spiritual incense, it doesn't seem to be difficult. It's also worth buying a spiritual stone."

He was afraid that others would take this task, so he hurried forward to reveal the list.Take out the bright yellow wood nameplate a little bit.The task suddenly glowed.

Wang Jitu was secretly happy, but when he looked back, the people around him all looked at him strangely.

The deacon monk is a monk of the Xinzi generation, named Xinyao.Urging Wang Jitu to take out the name tag, he tapped lightly on the wooden slip in front of him, and in the midst of the mysterious light, the seven characters "Sikongyuan Shami Jitu" were left on the wooden slip, and a green lotus pattern appeared at the end .

Monk Xinyao looked at Wang Jitu after the inspection was correct, and he did not ignore him as he did to other novice monks. Instead, he raised his thumb and praised: "Brother, good job, you are really brave."

Although Wang Jitu didn't understand the meaning of their words, he also knew that this task was probably not an easy job, but when he heard the monk 'Xinyao' calling himself a junior, he couldn't help but feel a little happy for a while, and finally had a good impression of Lingshan Temple. Feeling a sense of belonging, I couldn't help but secretly said in my heart: "I am also a practitioner now."

In the Discipline Academy, the water lilies are elegant and beautiful, blooming beautifully.

But at this moment, Wang Jitu felt very bitter.

When Wang Jitu first arrived at the Discipline Academy, he hadn't seen clearly what the Discipline Academy was like.In the secret compartment under the Precept Academy, a monk handed out scripture paper and urged him to copy the scriptures.Wang Jitu saw that there were also monks copying beside him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.

Wang Jitu was born as a martial artist, he could read the characters, but he didn't write them well, the characters were sometimes big and sometimes small, crooked and unsightly.However, the speed was extremely slow, and the monk who was locked in the dark compartment had already urged him several times anxiously.Wang Jitu did not finish copying the scriptures until evening.

Although the monk in the hidden compartment thought the font was ugly, he had no choice but to sit on the futon and close his eyes to rest.

After a while, a group of monks came to the courtyard.The monks took away the scriptures in the secret compartment, and one of them picked up the copy that Wang Jitu had copied, looked at the secret compartment in surprise and said, "Hey, you have suffered a lot this time, the scriptures are all written like this. "The monk saw the appearance of the scriptures, shook his head, and walked out with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this scene, the monk in the dark cell breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Wang Jitu outside: "You are lucky." He immediately threw him a spirit stone.

When Wang Jitu was holding the Lingshi, his eyes were rounded.After copying the scriptures for a day, I can get a spirit stone, which can catch up with the income of being on duty.
