When Xuan Wen saw Xuan Bei's question, he thought for a while, then smiled slightly and said:
"For me to accept a disciple on behalf of a master, naturally it does not violate the laws of our ancestors."
"Furthermore, this Seven-Finger Tutuo is also of a very high rank in the temple, so we can't be considered as bullying him."
"Another most critical factor is that although this 'Hama Subduing Demon Finger' is a unique skill, it is easy to practice but difficult to master."
"Although he has the help of the Wenxin Pearl, it may be easier for him to deduce compared to other monks in the temple. But I'm afraid it won't be an instant success if he wants to achieve something."
"In this way, with the attraction of this unique skill, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to practice other techniques. It is said that human power is limited but the pursuit of knowledge is unlimited. When he wakes up, I am afraid there will not be much time left."
After hearing this, Xuanjing sighed on the side: "Would this be too cruel to this casual cultivator?"
Xuan Bei shook his head and said, "Amitabha, what Junior Brother Xuanwen said is just our experience."
"If he really enters the temple, we will still treat him as a disciple in the temple and guide him with all our heart."
"It's just that everyone has their own fate. I will tell him openly and openly in advance the merits and demerits. If he is still willing to make this choice, we can't blame us."
Xuanjing's face looked a little better, and he nodded and said, "This is a way."
However, he thought for a while and continued to ask: "But what if he hears this situation and becomes afraid of the difficulties and does not want to stay in the temple?"
Everyone looked at Xuannian together.
Xuannian thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Ancestor Shenzhi only made a rule that those who are not qualified enough are not allowed to enter the temple, but there is no rule that we should not take care of the lone disciples who enter the temple."
"Besides, my Buddhist school has always opened the door to convenience. As long as I have the thought of taking refuge in the Three Jewels, why can't I take more care of it?"
After Xuanbei heard this, he shouted to Amitabha and said without any objection:
"That's the case, then there is no doubt anymore. We can accept disciples on behalf of the master, and as for any application, we will treat them as ordinary elders of this temple. Thinking about it, this should also make them return to their hearts!"
All the monks praised him for his kindness.
So Xuanwen went out and Qian Yunsheng was brought in after a while.
This time Qian Yunsheng saw so many old monks gathered together and knew that his sentence had come, and he became even more confused.
Xuan Bei, who was at the top, looked at him kindly and said slowly:
"Thousands of donors, the old monk Xuanbei is the head of the Prajna Hall. My disciple Huikong told me about your situation, and we all discussed it. I invite you in this time because I want to hear it. did you mean."
Qian Yunsheng's heart tightened, he actually knew this Xuanbei. When he was in the merit reward hall of the Black Hand organization, he was the one who commanded the monks to set up a large formation and surrounded and suppressed their group.
However, his expression remained unchanged, and he saluted respectfully: "I have met all the masters! Qian Yun is so ignorant that he has made things difficult for all the masters."
Xuanbei shook his head and said: "God has the virtue of good life, and Buddhism also has the meaning of universal salvation for all living beings. Besides, I, the Zen sect, have always emphasized "sudden enlightenment". How can I be the kind of person who judges people based solely on their qualifications?"
Seeing Mercy saying this, Qian Yunsheng thought to himself, "Is there a way?"
Just listen to Xuanbei continue:
"But my Leiyin Temple has always had the ancestral law, and this Thousand Step Ladder is a necessary condition for entry. At this point, it is true that the Thousand Donors have not yet met the requirements of my ancestors."
Qian Yunsheng felt a chill in his heart and thought to himself: "Don't be so breathless when you talk! If it doesn't work, just don't do it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
However, his reaction was not slow, and he quickly fell to the ground and choked with sobs: "Xiao Ke is devoted to Buddha, especially to Leiyin Temple. He also asked the masters to point out a convenient door."
When Xuanbei saw him kneeling down, he didn't immediately lift him up. Instead, he nodded and said:
"It's rare for a thousand donors to have such deep devotion to the Buddha. I have a method that I can explain to you in detail. Let's see if you are willing."
After saying that, he told him in detail about the Seven Finger Tutuo matter that everyone had discussed before.
As Xuan Bei slowly explained the cause and effect, Qian Yunsheng finally got a rough idea.
Wenxinzhu listened in his soul and sneered: "After talking for a long time, I still can't bear to let go of an immortal weapon!"
Qian Yunsheng simply discussed with it in his soul: "This method seems a bit tortuous, but at least I can stay in the temple, but I don't know if it will affect my plan?"
Wenxinzhu was a little tired from dealing with the two elders Xuanwen and Xuanben before, and its voice was no longer as sharp as before. It calculated it silently and said:
"Since they promised that you will be no different from the disciples of this temple, and your salary will be slightly higher, there is no harm in it."
"The only impact is that it may hinder your advancement in Leiyin Temple."
"You must know that your status of accepting this order means that you will have an idle position in Leiyin Temple from now on, and it will be difficult to get in touch with the core of Leiyin Temple."
Qian Yunsheng thought for a while and said: "What you said is indeed a problem. If you can't access the core, it will really be a headache to find where the scroll is. But if I don't agree now, I will probably enter the temple. It’s hopeless.”
"Looking at it this way, I can only agree for the time being, and then take it step by step."
After hearing this, Wen Xinzhu rolled her eyes at him and said:
"Actually, you don't have to worry too much about this matter. You have to know that your performance on the Thousand Step Ladder is so poor, not to mention whether this scroll has any stolen value."
"Even if you enter the temple through normal means, I am afraid that with your qualifications, you will definitely not be able to get some important positions."
Qian Yunsheng was choked by Wenxinzhu's words, but he gradually got used to Wenxinzhu's venomous tongue, and he said with a strong will: "No matter how poor your qualifications are, there are always ways to improve them. I don't believe it." I can’t find a way out!”
Wen Xinzhu glanced at him lazily and said, "So, no matter what, you don't have to think too much now. It's better to agree first, and let's see what happens next!"
"Anyway, you are not really a Buddhist. If you really have no hope here, let's rub oil on the soles of your feet. The world is so big, maybe you will really encounter some opportunities, right?"
While he was still talking, Xuan Bei also fell silent. Qian Yunsheng then bowed his head to Xuan Bei and other old monks without hesitation and said:
"Qian Yunsheng is willing!"
The old monks did not expect that he answered so simply, so they all became awe-inspiring.
Xuanbei even stood up together with all the old monks and praised:
"Yes, yes, you really have great wisdom!"
"In that case, it's better to choose a day than to hit it. Let's do the initiation ceremony today!"
After finishing speaking, Qian Yunsheng did not let Qian Yunsheng stand up. Instead, he and the other old monks came to the foot of the steps and stood in a row in front of Qian Yunsheng.
Xuan Bei looked at Qian Yunsheng who was bowing his head on the ground and said in a deep voice:
"I, the Buddhists, do not believe in false etiquette. Qian Yunsheng, from now on, I will ask a question and you will answer. Do not deceive your true heart, and do not make lies. Do you understand?"
Qian Yunsheng knew that preparations were beginning, and he quickly knelt down and said solemnly: "Qian Yunsheng understands!"
Seeing his answer like this, the old monks no longer had any doubts. In addition to inviting the Buddha statue out, they also asked Qian Yunsheng to light three sticks of incense and offer it to the Lord Buddha.
After he bowed down and bowed in a proper manner, he stood beside the Lord Buddha. Xuanbei was seen standing at the top and said loudly to Qian Yunsheng:
"I am Xuanbei, and I am the head of the Prajna Hall. Now, the ancestor of this temple, Qizhi Tutuo, is accepting disciples as a teacher and teaching you the supreme skill of 'Hama Subduing Demon Finger'."
Qian Yunsheng heard this and quickly bowed his head again as a courtesy.
After Qian Yunsheng finished the ceremony, Xuan Bei introduced them one by one:
"This is Elder Xuannian of the Discipline Academy, who is now your counselor; this is Elder Xuanku of the Bodhi Courtyard, who is now your supervisor;"
"This is Elder Xuanben of Sutra Pavilion, who is now your recommender; this is Elder Xuanjing of Yaowang Academy, who is now your ordainer; this is Elder Xuanwen of Bodhidharma Academy, who is now your ordainer; Your authenticator.”
Qian Yunsheng received the guidance of the Wenxin Pearl in his soul, and followed the standards for Xuan Bei and performed prostrations one by one. In my heart, I couldn't help but sigh:
"It seems that Leiyin Temple is really strict. Even if it holds such an initiation ceremony in such a hurry, it still follows the rules and can't be careless at all."
Wenxinzhu chuckled in her soul and said: "Now you feel that the law is solemn and meticulous. When you stay for a long time, you will know how boring and long-winded it is!"
"Take this initiation ceremony as an example. If you want me to see it, there can only be one master who teaches the exercises. Why do you need so many supervisors?"
Qian Yunsheng retorted: "How can such a big sect do without some rules?"
"As you just said, this transmission master is responsible for supervising the cultivation when his master is away."
"This monitor is used to specifically assess the progress of homework, so that everyone should not waste their progress."
"As well as the recommender, ordainer, and true appraiser, I also think they are all useful. To be honest, the big sect is the big sect, and it is different from those small-minded and small-faced ones!"
Wen Xinzhu probably had seen these things a lot, and Qian Yunsheng didn't make a fuss about it. Before he could finish speaking, he hurriedly shouted:
"Okay, okay, since you think it's useful, just take it slowly!"
"Let me tell you, this ritual has just begun, and there will be more for you to kowtow to!"
