At what age are you still being a traditional monster?

Dajue sighed, quickened his pace and walked out of the city.

Coincidentally, at this time Lin Xu and Dajue looked at each other in the crowd.

Dajue stopped, glanced in Lin Xu's direction, chanted the Buddha's name, and actually bowed his head in salute.

Under the cover of the crowd, Lin Xu bowed his head in return.

Dajue smiled and left the city.

After Dajue left, Luoyang City quickly returned to its former noise, as if the short moment of tranquility just now was just a dream.

"Master, who is that man who still salutes you?"

Lin Xu had an answer in his mind, but he didn't dare to be sure, he just said: "I don't know, but if he goes west, he will be on the same road as us, and we should catch up, ask him."

So Lin Xu led the little beggar out of the city, walked for a while, and finally met the monk on the road.

At this time, the monk was stopped in the middle of the road by an old woman.

"You! You are Master Dajue of White Horse Temple!"

"Please hurry up, old man, the poor monk is Dajue."

The old woman burst into tears immediately.

Chapter 176 It's all about being sincere

The old woman burst into tears, but Dajue smiled, just quietly waiting for the old woman to finish crying.

After the old woman finished crying, she came slowly: "I've heard for a long time that Master Dajue's sermons can save the souls of the dead. They are clear and upright. My son died in vain for half a year. The souls of the dead can't go to the underworld for a long time. Day by day, he told me in dreams that he was suffering in the world. The old woman wanted to ask someone to save the child, but she didn't have any incense money to offer, so I can see Master today, please be merciful and save the child."

Dajue nodded and said: "It's okay to preach scriptures, but I don't know if there is a vegetarian meal in the old man's house for the poor monk to fill his stomach."

The old woman said: "There is only one or two taels of white flour left in the house, and some steamed buns have been made, please Master to eat."

"it is good."

Dajue agreed, and went to the old woman's house, and she was burning incense upright, sitting on the mud floor with her legs crossed, one hand raised in front of her chest to make a Dharma seal, and the other hand placed upwards on her knees to make a wish gesture.

He recited the Buddha's name, and then began to preach.

Lin Xu led the little beggar and watched from afar.

The little beggar rubbed his eyes and said in surprise, "The monk is shining with golden light?"

Lin Xu nodded and stared at Dajue.

Sure enough, it should be him.

It took Dajue half a day to finish speaking the scriptures, and the dead soul was also saved, so he ate the steamed buns handed over by the old woman, bid farewell, and set off again.

On the way, Lin Xu was already waiting for him.

"Where is the eminent monk?"

Dajue recited a Buddha's name and said, "Go west."

"That happens to be the same way?"

"The fortune of the poor monk."

So one big and one small, two Taoist priests, walked together with a monk.

On the way, Lin Xu asked bluntly: "Master has mana, but it doesn't look like he got it through cultivation?"

Dajue nodded and said: "It should be left over from the previous life."

Lin Xu said: "Master, do you still remember what happened in your previous life?"

Dajue shook his head and said: "But I don't remember clearly, I just remember that I seem to come from the Western Lingshan, and I came to this world to find something."

"Did the master find it?"

"Still looking."

"Then why did the master go west?"

"My Buddha Tathagata is in the west, so I will naturally go west."

Lin Xu said with a smile: "Don't they all say that the Buddha is in the heart? Master, you are not afraid that your hard work will be in vain?"

Dajue said: "But if I don't walk the path under my feet, how will I know if I'm walking the right way?"

Lin Xu suddenly said: "I have been taught."

"Don't dare."

The three of them walked for a while, but suddenly someone was waiting on the official road ahead with a plate filled with fresh fruits.

The leader saw the three of them and hurried up to greet them.

"Is the visitor Dajue Master from the White Horse Temple?"

Dajue said, "It's the poor monk."

The man said: "My master heard that Master Dajue is going west to seek Buddha, so he told me to wait here to meet you."

Dajue said: "I don't know the name of your master?"

The man replied: "My master's surname is Liu, and there is a Liujiazhuang behind, which is my master's home."

"Then why is your master welcoming me?"

"My master is a good man who believes in Buddhism. He heard that Master Dajue would pass by here, and he wanted to invite Master to give a lecture on the sutras."

Dajue nodded, but agreed.

"Of course, the two priests are also invited to visit the residence together."

Lin Xu thought for a while, the little beggar was still a mortal child, unable to fly through the clouds, so he could only take him away by himself, but he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the strength after a long time.

So I can only walk, but I am not in a hurry to go back to Heifeng Mountain.

So, he nodded in agreement.

The three of them followed the man to the Liu Family Village.

The owner of the village, Liu Shanshi, has already prepared a fast meal.

Dajue went to worship, and then went straight to the topic, asked the servants in the village to arrange the practice field, and Dajue sat on the high platform and was about to give a lecture.

But before the lecture, Dajue suddenly looked at Liu Shanshi:

"My scriptures are not in vain."

Liu Shanshi said: "Of course it's not in vain."

After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands, and a servant brought a plate of silver ingots to offer.

Dajue looked at it and shook his head, "You are quite big, why is that so?"

Liu Shanshi was shocked and felt that he had been rude, so he quickly asked his servants to bring a plate of gold.

Dajue still shook his head.

The servant brought another plate of emerald jewels.

Dajue still shook his head.

Liu Shanshi was sweating profusely and asked, "Master still thinks it's not enough?"

Dajue said lightly: "Not enough."

Liu Shanshi said: "How can Master speak openly and honestly?"

Dajue said: "I don't know, you know."

"I know?"

Dajue shook his head, got up and left, Lin Xu and the little beggar chased after him.

"Master! Master stay!"

No matter how Liu Shanshi shouted, Dajue didn't turn his head back.

Along the way, many people who heard the news came to pray for Dajue to give lectures.

Dajue's reputation is still great in the surrounding areas of Luoyang, but after walking fifty miles from Luoyang, he met at least ten people who came to beg.

Dajue agreed to everyone who came to ask for it.

It's just that when the lectures are held, they will ask for incense and offerings.

Some people are poor, some people are rich.

Rich people give gold and silver, but poor people can only scrape together a fast meal, or even a bowl of water.

I feel that some people have talked about it, but some people have not. There is no distinction between wealth and honor, and it seems that it all depends on one's own will.

This situation lasted for three days.

The little beggar gradually became confused, so he asked, "Master Dajue, why do you teach the same scriptures? Some people are willing to spend money to ask you not to go, and some people just give you a bowl of water. , at first I thought you were pitiful and poor, but then..."

Lin Xu took over the words and said: "But then you found out that some poor families tried their best to seek him, but he didn't go, and some rich and noble families only had a fast meal, so he went, right?"

The little beggar nodded, looked at Dajue and said, "So why?"

Dajue said: "Because I am a Buddha and I have no fate."

"What is fate and what is no fate?"

"Sincerity means fate, dishonesty means no fate."

"Then how do you know who is sincere or not?"

Dajue laughed and said, "Of course you can't see it."

The little beggar was puzzled, since he couldn't see it, how could he judge it?

At this time, there was another person waiting in front of him.

Before Dajue came forward, Lin Xu said: "Master Dajue, if you still ask you to give lectures, please decline."

"Why?"

Lin Xu said: "Go if you are begged, isn't it a waste of time? When will you go to Lingshan?"

There is another point that Lin Xu didn't say clearly.

Lin Xu found that every time Dajue recited the scriptures, the magic power in his body would disappear. If he continued to talk like this, he might lose all the magic power in his body.

Dajue shook his head and said, "When it's time to go, I will go naturally."

So, we have to go up to meet that group of people.

Lin Xu didn't move.

"You are preaching the scriptures in families like this, but you don't know when you are going to preach."

Dajue said, "Do you want to say goodbye?"

Lin Xu smiled and said: "You still have a long way to go, so I can only say goodbye to you first."

Dajue nodded, then smiled and said, "By the way, I seem to have remembered some things from my previous life."

"Oh? You remember?"

"I remember that I seemed to have a quarrel with a big monk, and then I came here."

"Do you remember what you two quarreled about?"

"I just remember him saying, I can't become a Buddha if I go on like this. I argued with him about Buddhism, so he demoted me."

Lin Xu wondered, "Why can't you become a Buddha?"

Dajue said: "The great monk said that I grew up at the foot of the Lingshan Mountain, recited Buddhist scriptures at the age of three, and became enlightened at the age of ten. I was too intelligent, but I couldn't see sentient beings, so I couldn't become a Buddha."

Lin Xu said: "So you came."

Dajue smiled and said, "Yes, I'm here."

So here he comes.

In the first life, I gave up my mana.

In the second life, I gave up my great enlightenment.
