Chapter 20: Sadness

Daoji was shocked and pushed the little novice monk away and rushed in. He ran all the way like the wind, but Lingyin Temple was already different from when he was there. He could not remember the road, and he became more and more anxious.

Xu Xian came from behind: Master Daoji, don’t worry, let this little master take me to find it.

The little shaman led the road along a long corridor. When he saw monks passing by, he was solemn and depressed, and there was also a solemn and depressing atmosphere in the entire temple.

Finally found the place, but it was the sutra room that Xu Xian had been to last time. The little monk didn't wait to speak, and said, come in!Xu Xian could hear it was Fahai's voice.

When he pushed the door open, Fahai sat opposite Elder Yuankong, and there were a lot of scriptures around him, as if he was talking about the sutras and treatises.

Elder Yuankong looked back and smiled and said: Daoji, you are back!The words are friendly and natural, as if Daoji only went down the mountain to make a vegetarian meal in the morning, rather than leaving for decades.

When Daoji heard this voice, his eyes became hot, he knelt down and kowtowed three times, and said: I'm back!This statement seemed to contain thousands of sadness and sorrow, and could not be said forever.

Seeing this scene, I had to let go of my worries, but I was confused in my heart like a child. Is the master who raised me like a father and is about to die?

Fahai Ze asked Xu Xian: Have you practiced the Great Lei Yin?He knew Xu Xian's talent in this area, but he didn't believe that he could learn the Great Thunder Sound Technique in such a short time.

But I listened to Xu Xian: Although I am not yet proficient, I can still be considered a connection.If he hadn't talked to Longjun above the river and sang the song "The Rolling Yangtze River Flows East", he probably wouldn't be able to practice this great thunder sound technique yet.

The two old monks no longer cared about them, but focused on talking about the law. Abbot Yuan Kong took the book and said: Senior brother, you still have to look at this account book, otherwise you will not understand how the various expenses in the temple will be able to achieve it in the future.

Xu Xian suddenly realized that it was not scriptures, but a lot of books.

Elder Yuankong wanted to hand over things, but Fahai became the abbot of Lingyin Temple rather than Jinshan Temple. How should this plot be calculated?

Fahai said: Junior brother, I am really not good at this path, otherwise I would rather choose a good man and be the abbot of Lingyin Temple!

The one-day elder Kong suddenly said that he was about to pass away, and Fahai was also shocked, but he thought that he was not a person like him, and the lifespan of a mortal is always limited.

Later, Yuan Kong asked him to be the abbot of Lingyin Temple. Fahaiben also intended to try the taste of being in charge of the temple, but who knew it was so trivial, but there were so many accounts.

If we talk about Buddhism, Taoism, and merits, he is a monk who has no more. However, when it comes to dealing with these miscellaneous matters, he is not good at it.

Abbot Yuan Kong said: If your senior brother can’t handle it, you can ask someone else to act on his behalf, but you must find loyal and sincere people. There are many people in my temple that are not available. If you don’t understand these, you will be bullied.

Xu Xian said in his heart: Master, these disciples can understand clearly, and then sort out the results and report them to you.

Fahai was having a headache, and he was overjoyed: OK, I will leave these to you. If you organize them well, I will teach you the Lizi Rules and the Unmoving Mingwang Seal Method in the Secret Prayer of the Six Jias!There was a different test, but now it was a killing two birds with one stone.

Xu Xian walked to the edge of the account book and began to read it one by one.

It is naturally impossible to look at it with your brain. In the state of wisdom, Daoji was stunned by the speed of reading.

In just one cup of tea, Xu Xian put the last account book back into the distance and said: Disciple knows it.He turned around and asked Yuan Kong again, "Abbot, do you have paper and pen?"

Yuan Kong immediately said: Daoji, go and take out the paper and pen from the third pavilion.Daoji felt even more calm when he looked for ordinary monks. He went to find a place to find paper and pen to give to Xu Xian, and then knelt respectfully back to his original place, as if he was just an ordinary monk who had been in the temple for decades.

Since entering this room, the wind and rain in the world have been blocked outside. He is no longer the famous murder god of murder in the world, but he has returned his true face, just a monk.

No one in the room would respect him, nor would one contempt him, so he just thought he was a monk.

Xu Xian picked up his pen and sorted out the information in his mind and summarized it on a piece of rice paper, saving the tedious process but just a clear result, and then handing the rice paper to Fahai.

Fahai took it and looked at it, and it was clear.

It will be much easier to sort out the past and follow the regulations in the future.

Even if Fahai has Xu Xian’s Huixin, it is difficult for him to start this matter.

Who made Master Fahai only care about practicing for more than a thousand years? At first, he was fed alone and his whole family was not hungry. Later, he even saved food, so what was the business of making a living?

In addition, he has never studied accounting, so he probably knows about addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in mathematics. In modern times, he will have a primary school diploma.

As a knowledgeable and educated young man in the 21st century, Xu Xian was so skillful.

Elder Yuankong also took it and admired it. He exchanged a glance with Fahai, meaning that there is a shortage of such talents in the monk world!Fahai nodded, meaning that I will print him and convert to my Buddha.

Fahai said: Okay, Junior Brother Yuankong, I will no longer refuse the position of the abbot, and I will definitely lift the pestle of Wei Tuo for a long time.Let's go, Xu Xian!After saying that, he stood up, bowed to Yuankong, and took Xu Xian away.

At that time, there were many statues of Wei Tuo at the entrance of the temple, holding a Wei Tuo pestle.

If the Wei Tuo pestle is carried on the shoulder, it means that this is a large temple and can entertain monks who travel here for free for three days.

If the Wei Tuo pestle is in his hand, it means that this is a medium-sized temple and can entertain monks who travel here for free for free for a day of food and accommodation.

If Wei Tuo is on the ground, it means that this is a small temple and monks cannot be accommodated for free.

The room calmed down, and Daoji finally couldn't help asking: Master, you?The rest of the words can't be said.

Elder Yuankong nodded and said: When I reach this point of my practice, I know my life and death, and the time is all calculated.I was a little regretful, but I didn’t expect that the Buddha knew my wish and sent you back again.Looking at Daoji in front of him, he was also filled with joy.

Daoji's eyes turned red, and he knocked on the ground and said: "A disciple is unworthy."

Yuan Kong said: It’s good to come back. Please help me and take a walk. Let’s take a look at Lingyin Temple. If you are not here for the past few years, you are not idle as a teacher!As for where Daoji has been and what has he done in recent years?

But he didn't mention it at all. Although it was because of the compassionate and energetic Buddhist sect, it was because this was the child he watched as he grew up.

Dao Ji hurriedly helped Yuan Kong up, feeling as thin as firewood and not being able to bear any force.

But the pair of eyes were clearer and clearer.

Walking around Lingyin Temple, where you have lived for decades, it seems like you meet on the first day.

It refers to when the tower and hall were built, how much money was raised at that time, and what happened.

Still explain clearly.

There may be a childlike pride on his face.

This is my Lingyin Temple.

The monks followed him at first, and soon after, they gathered more and more, until all the monks in the temple followed them.

His eyes were red, but they were crying, and he let his feet lightly, and there was only an old monk's voice saying and chanting.

Xu Xian stood in the attic and looked at it from afar. Is it worth it to regard this small temple as his entire world, born here, raised here, and died here?

Maybe only you understand, but only without regrets is just a sound.

Yuan Kong walked around the temple, then took a bath, changed clothes, closed the door, and sat in meditation.Just waiting for death to come. Although the word "life and death" cannot be said to be a breakthrough, you can face it calmly.

At this time, Fahai said: Since you are a disciple, although you are unwilling to become a monk, you should always have a Dharma name. Being a teacher is a Dharma, and you will be interpreted.Thinking about what it is good!

Xu Xian said in a word: Sakyamuni?Before he finished speaking, he was hit by Fahai. I will let you Sakyamuni!

Xu Xian covered his head and was just pumping the air conditioner. The old man's hand is really strong. I just suggested it, is it worth it?

Fahai put away the Vajra's anger, thought for a while, and said: Shise, you call Shise!

Xu Xian Vajra said angrily: What?Release the color!Why not call it "Shit Ah"?You are revenge, you are a monk, you don’t bring such a person.

Fahai explained: This color is not what ordinary people call color, but the color of "form is emptiness". It contains all colors in the world. If you can interpret color, it will be easier to attain the Bodhisattva's position.Fahai explained it seriously, but he didn't know what he thought about it.

Xu Xian refused to follow: Otherwise, let’s change it, and I can do it.If you compete with others in the future, you will sign up for your own registration and say "I am a monk's Dharma name to explain the color" and you will no longer need to beat me. I will laugh to death.

Fahai made you one more time!I thought again, but shit is the most filthy thing in the world, if it can be explained

Xu Xian quickly said: My name is Shise!If you really scream, you don’t have to help Bai Snake. You can just keep yourself in Leifeng Tower.

Fahai said with satisfaction: OK, let’s explain the color.I will teach you the first lessons of the Six Jia Secret Prayer and the Great Hand Seal Method.Lin's character is the seal of the king.

Xu Xian still listened no matter how he felt awkward, but now he was soft-hearted and could only say: Yes, Master!

The so-called Six Jia Secret Prayer is the nine-character mantra, and those who fight in the war are all arranged in the first nine characters.

Originally from Taoism, it was later integrated into Buddhism, and it was even more powerful with Buddhist hand seals.

The nine characters correspond to nine types of hand seals, namely the Immortal King Seal, the Great Vajra Wheel Seal, the Outer Lion Seal, the Inner Lion Seal, the Outer Bond Seal, the Inner Bond Seal, the Wisdom Seal, the Sun Crown Seal, and the Treasure Bottle Seal.

Calling it Nine is actually just the foundation. The handprints derived are as numerous as the sand of the Ganges River, and countless.

Similar to Xu Xian's practice, it is based on Taoist methods, but now it is learning Buddhist magic.

The so-called "return" means that one is firm in one's body and mind, and one is not confused by one's heart.

What is about to achieve is the great stability of Mount Tai collapsed before it and its color remained unchanged.

Only concentration is the foundation of everything, and only through concentration can wisdom be generated. It is the foundation for resisting evil demons and heretics, and what you hold is also the immovable Ming Wang Seal for practicing the body and mind.

When it comes to pronunciation and gestures, it doesn’t seem difficult.

But the difficulty is the basics. Without the great thunder sound technique, it would be useless to ripple the throat.

If there is no foundation for the power of the sun, no gesture can be of use.

Just like the talisman that Yu Xuanji gave to Xu Xian, it can be drawn even if ordinary people practice it for a day and a half, but if they want to introduce the spiritual power in their body into it, the subtleties must be taught by words and deeds.

However, Fahai still had the temper of the past. He tried it three times and passed on his secret words of the Buddha's name, but he left nothing.This master was extremely relaxed and comfortable.This is probably the reason why famous teachers like high disciples.

Xu Xian first started to try to make a seal of the Unmoved Ming Wang.

This seal is not simply forming a gesture, but a whole process. In the process of forming this gesture, one's own spiritual power is introduced into the arms, hands, and ten fingers.

The two arms are called two wings, the two hands are called two feathers, and the ten fingers are called ten degrees.

There are ten degrees of ten fingers, which start from the left little finger according to this: Sandalwood, precepts, forbearance, advancement, and Zen.

From the right little finger, they are wisdom, square, gaze, strength, and wisdom.

If there is no guidance from an expert, it is absolutely impossible to explore the secret method by yourself.

Xu Xian studied it and knew that the unmoved Ming Wang Yin combined with the Linzi Rule should be a method that is more defensive than the oneness of the body and mind.

Whether the enemy wants to confuse his mind with the illusionist inner demon or to directly destroy his existence, he can rely on this method to resist.

Xu Xian first spoke the truth and made the seal with his hands, but he tried it several times but failed. Either the truth and the gestures were out of order, or the spiritual power was not good.

What this method will achieve is not one mind and multi-purpose, but will achieve unity.

Just like a complex machine, it seems to be composed of countless small parts, but it requires movement everywhere.

Rather than simply being one-study and multi-purpose.

However, Xu Xian knew that he could not be anxious to achieve success, so he first cooperated with his heart and hands, made seals on his hands, and used his spiritual power.

With the experience of drawing talismans, it was not that I was confused, but I succeeded after just trying it more than a dozen times.

A layer of golden light floated on his body, although it was extremely light, as if it had substance, like the golden body on a Buddha statue.

And the mind has never been restrained before, as if it is about to condense into a little bit without any distracting thoughts.

Although it only lasted for a moment and disappeared, Xu Xian was still very happy.

That layer of golden light should be able to withstand swords and is considered as the fairy tale version of the Golden Bell Cover. Although I have not tried the specific effect, I think it will not be too bad.

The mental state at that time was more like a weakened version of wisdom.

Although it is just a weakened version, it has no foundation and no profit. It does not consume precious merits than wisdom, and cannot be consumed easily.

And this is the beginning, and if the effect is stronger in the future.

The role of replacing the wisdom heart is not impossible.

Xu Xian suddenly said in surprise: Isn’t this the golden body and relics?What is it to transport spiritual power outside the body, and what is it to condense the mind to the extreme?

Isn’t it the two most important things in Buddhism, the golden body and the relics?

Fahai, who was standing aside, praised: If you can have this understanding, you will have great wisdom.This is just a partial sect for cultivating the golden body and becoming relics. It is still much worse than the real method of practicing, but this method can only be taught to Buddhists.Originally, you have your own foundation, and you shouldn't have these two things, but you have the power of the sun that you are very close to Buddhism, which is why you have the effect just now.

In fact, Fahai just saw Xu Xian condensed that thin layer of golden body outside his body, and was extremely surprised. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the golden body disappear.

Fahai also has a golden body. The real golden body exists at all times. When the mind moves, it will come out.

It is not temporarily existed like Xu Xian because of seals, but over time, Fahai doesn't know whether Xu Xian will condense into a golden body.

Xu Xian never thought about being a Buddhist. He only said that just the unity of body and mind just now had such an effect. If he spoke the truth, I wonder if it would be stronger.

The practice of unity of the mind and mouth is relatively simple. It is combined with the word "Lin" of the Great Thunder Sound Art. It does not focus on defending oneself, but it seems to have a shocking effect, and attack the other's movement with my own determination.

If you can cooperate with the Ming Wang Seal, you will be able to be a combination of offense and defense.

But Xu Xian knew what it was difficult to combine these two things. After trying ten times, he failed.

Xu Xian simply let go and specifically attacked the seal method of the Unmoved Mingwang.

This is not moving, but only one or two times in ten attempts.

If you really face the enemy, there is no time for you to try. If you fail in one go, you will immediately have a judgment on life and death.

Now Xu Xian’s most important thing is to ensure the success rate of the Ming Wang Seal.

However, it could only be three times until dark, but in Fahai's opinion, it was already an amazing speed of progress. He thought that if he could let go of the world and concentrate on practicing.

I really have the four words "being brave and diligent", and coupled with the guidance of my famous teacher, he has fewer twists and turns on the road of cultivation.

It can be imagined that a new star in the monk world is about to rise.

But thinking about Xu Xian’s current attitude, I know that it is difficult to escape from the world without entering the world.

However, afflictions are Bodhi. With this Son's wisdom, as long as he suffers some pain in this world, he will definitely have a day of great enlightenment.

However, Xu Xian still found a trick to take advantage of the situation where he activated the wisdom mind, and he had to make the Unmoved Mingwang Seal. As long as he entered the Huixin state at the beginning and truly used the Unmoved Mingwang Seal, his own effect of meditation and concentration can stop the Huixin.

So what really consumes merit is just the beginning moment.

Moreover, he found that when he formed a state of immobile wise king, he would be easier to succeed and the effect would be extraordinary.

Xu Xian once tried to use the power of water spirit to drive this seal, but its effect was far less than that of using the power of the sun.

Except for the difference in quantity itself.

The difference in nature is the most critical. As Fahai said, the power of the great sun seems to be really suitable for Buddhist methods.

I remember when I first learned Taoism, the Taoist priest said that he was not very talented, but now he regards himself as a genius.

Xu Xian was so proud that he was indeed a man who was afraid of entering the wrong career.

However, if Xu Xian wants to be a monk, he doesn’t even think about it.

My future wife is a fairy-like woman, and Qingming Festival is coming soon.Xu Xian couldn't help but think of someone, Mingyu, are you okay?

At this time, the master passed away when he heard a tragic cry in the direction of the hall.Fahai and Xu Xian were both stunned, although one was a monk who saw through life and death, and the other was a stranger who had never said a few words to Yuankong.

But I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Fahai roared, and the evening bell rang.

Amid the floating bell, the two of them turned towards the hall, with their hands together.

At this time, someone looked into the direction of Lingyin Temple on the pleasure boat in West Lake.
