Maybe it's because of the Lantern Festival, but the Huguo Temple is still very lively with people coming and going. When there are more people, the incense will naturally become stronger.
This place is really very spacious. There are so many monk rooms for them to live in. If it were a small place, there would definitely be no way to arrange for Zhu Chongba to have so many monks. So whether it is public or private, Zhu Chongba is here. Eight is the best choice.
At this moment, Zhu Chongba had looked at Huguo Temple upside down without anyone's permission.
He has never regarded himself as an outsider. In Zhu Chongba's view, he is the undisputed master here.
At first, the monks at Huguo Temple didn't notice Zhu Chongba. After all, they all wore the same style.
Besides, access to Huguo Temple has always been free, except for the monks’ living area.
Originally, when Zhu Chongba entered the monk's living area, no one noticed him, but he looked around and pointed, and finally attracted the attention of the monks of Huguo Temple.
"Amitabha! May I ask the name of this master? Why haven't I seen you?" an elderly monk from Huguo Temple asked Zhu Chongba.
In Zhu Chongba's view, this monk from the Huguo Temple was about forty years old. He had a pleasant appearance and seemed to be an eminent monk.
What impressed Zhu Chongba the most about this monk was his "red nose", also known as rosacea. However, Zhu Chongba did not laugh at him. After all, it was just a physiological phenomenon of the body.
Originally Zhu Chongba wanted to tell the truth, but after seeing this person's extraordinary "respect", Zhu Chongba had an idea and had an idea.
"Master, I'm new here. My name is Rujing. The abbot arranged a room for me. I haven't found it yet. Where is the monk's room No. 23?" Zhu Chongba's attitude was still very good. It was hard to tell that it was a joke. In fact, Zhu Chongba had already seen the sign for the monk's room No. 28, so he said it casually.
To say that this person is lucky, nothing can stop him. The abbot of Huguo Temple has just arranged for a monk today. His dharma name is Ruqing, and he is also in the monk's room No. 23. This monk knows it, so this The "red-nosed" monk's attitude changed, "It turns out that he is the new disciple assigned by the abbot. How disrespectful! Please come with me!"
As he said this, the red-nosed monk led the way. Zhu Chongba felt a little unbearable now, so that's okay! Originally, he wanted to tease others, but he didn't realize that they had no doubts about him.
Zhu Chongba did not expect such a thing. If Zhu Chongba denied it at this time, how could he open his mouth to deny it?
So Zhu Chongba borrowed the donkey from the slope and said, "Senior brother, what is your name? I just came here and I don't understand any rules. Please take good care of me!"
Originally, the monks arranged by the abbot were generally very arrogant, but Zhu Chongba was not so easy to talk to. So the red-nosed monk was very helpful and said with a smile, "It's easy to talk! It's easy to talk! Poor monk Fang Hong, by the way." , is the flood of the flood, not the redness of the red nose.”
"I understand, Master Fang Hong. Have you been in Huguo Temple for a long time? Who has the final say here? I heard that some places are not decided by the abbot?" Zhu Chongba understood the red-nosed monk's intentions. Meaning, because he is taboo about people talking about popularity.
Generally speaking, the biggest one in the temple is the abbot. I don't know if this Huguo Temple is the same as the temples Zhu Chongba had seen before.
"The abbot still has the final say here, but there are also people from the imperial court here. The royal family has the final say at Mioying Temple, and the abbot has no actual rights..." This person mentioned eight temples at once. It seems that this person not only He knows everything about Huguo Temple very well, and he also knows a lot about other temples.
However, because Zhu Chongba was not interested in other temples, he didn't even remember their names. The abbot had the final say here, so that would be easy. Otherwise, Zhu Chongba would still have a lot of trouble.
"By the way, Master, do you know what happened in the Huguo Temple in the temple in Jinling?" Zhu Chongba asked another casual question.
"Sometimes you will know something. I heard about something. Jinling Qixia Temple held a Jiangnan Sutra King Dharma Assembly, and a new Jiangnan Sutra King came out."
When Zhu Chongba heard this, he was a little excited. He even spoke intermittently, "You also know about such things. Do you know who the new King of Jiangnan is?"
In fact, at this time, Zhu Chongba's heart was really a little swollen! As the saying goes, meeting an old friend in a foreign country is one of the four great joys in life!
Zhu Chongba originally thought that he was just a nobody. Who knew that someone two thousand miles away knew him? You can imagine his joy.
"I don't know!" Master Fang Hong replied resolutely.
At this moment, Zhu Chongba almost choked to death. He almost couldn't breathe. It took a long time before Zhu Chongba said four words, "Why?"
Master Fang Hong was very surprised when he saw Zhu Chongba's mournful expression, "Master Rujing, what's wrong with you? Is this so strange? It's more than two thousand miles from Jinling to Dadu! I I heard that such a sutra lecture was going to be held half a year ago. I guessed the last sentence. I think a new Sutra King of Jiangnan will definitely come out. No matter who he is, it will be the glory of Buddhism! "
Zhu Chongba was speechless.
"This is the monk's room No. 23. By the way, I remembered something. Last time the original King Jiangnan Jing came to Huguo Temple, he seemed to live in this room No. 23. Yes, that's right. !”
Zhu Chongba felt an inexplicable hope rising in his heart, "Master Fang Hong, when are you talking about?"
"About half a year ago, at that time, the abbot was very polite to Jiangnan Jingwang! He even intended to accept him as a closed disciple, but the Jiangnan Jingwang was really from Jiangnan! He was not accustomed to the local environment and had no choice but to return to Jiangnan. Gone." Master Fang Hong seemed very regretful.
Zhu Chongba didn't understand what Master Fang Hong meant, "Master Fang Hong seems to feel sorry for this Jiangnan Jingwang?"
"That's for sure! The abbot's disciples are generally high-level people in Huguo Temple, and none of them will suffer. What a great opportunity you think this is!"
After Zhu Chongba heard this, he suddenly became very interested in the abbot of Huguo Temple. These abbots arranged all their disciples to various halls of the sect to facilitate their control. .
This move is really quite clever!
Sure enough, everyone will hear the information that is most useful to them. Zhu Chongba cares about this very much, and of course he understands it immediately.
