"Looking at you, you are well-dressed, how can you be without money? Going due west, only four or five miles away, there is a thirty-mile shop with a restaurant selling food. It is convenient and a good place to stay. It is not convenient for me here, so I only stay here. As relatives of the emperor, it's not good to keep your monks from far away." Seeing Xiao Bailong's entanglement, the abbot just shooed them away with a cold voice.
Although he pointed out a place, his arrogant appearance made Xiao Bailong feel a little uncomfortable. He also said coldly: "As the ancients said, the monasteries and temples are all the residences of our master. , there are three liters of rice when you see the mountain gate... It's okay for us to go to the store to stay, but I'm afraid this Buddhist temple like yours... Huh, if you just use the name of Buddha, I'm afraid you won't be able to get the blessings of the real Buddha and Bodhisattva."
Xiao Bailong snorted coldly and was about to throw away his sleeves.
The abbot heard that Xiao Bailong didn't have a good word to say, but his expression changed, and he stepped forward and said, "You kid, you are so rude. The poor monk kindly pointed you to where to stay, but you cursed me with evil words."
Seeing that he was impatient, Xiao Bailong looked at him coldly, "Ha, could it be that I hit on your point of pain? This seemingly pure place of Buddhism, could it be possible that it is all the shady activities of roosters and dogs?"
"Here comes someone!" the abbot shouted urgently, "I'm going to drive him out!"
"Hey!" Even the sociable figure of Xiao Bailong's generation was also really angry at this moment. He stretched out his hand and the Leng Yue spear was in his hand, "Who dares to move!"
There was quite a commotion inside, which alarmed the remaining masters and disciples outside the temple. Fahai frowned and said, "Why is Little White Dragon so rude? The monks in this temple must be difficult to deal with. Wukong... go and take a look."
"Master won't go?"
"If you don't succeed, I will go again." In fact, Fahai can hear it clearly with his celestial ears. The so-called evil people will have their own troubles. No matter what the reputation of this Buddhist temple is or the age of the monks in this temple, it cannot just fall into Buddhism. Clear name.
Are there any monasteries in the Three Realms that do not allow monks to stay?
Even Taoist monks cannot protect themselves from wind and rain, so how can they talk about transforming sentient beings?
What a royal temple, it’s time for Wukong to rule them.
The Great Sage knew the master's intentions quite well. He somersaulted in and landed in front of the little white dragon. The golden hoop in his hand shone, revealing a ferocious appearance.
"ke——"
The monks who had been scared away by the little white dragon were even more horrified at this moment. Why did a Grandpa Lei come in?
Just when he was about to ask for mercy, he saw my grandpa Lei Gong approaching the gunner in front and asked, "Junior brother, what happened? Are these evil monks bullying people?"
After listening to the great sage's words, the abbot wanted to argue a few words. You are obviously holding a gun and a stick, so why are we evil monks?
But he only dared to think about it in his heart and never dared to say it out loud.
Xiao Bailong was a little afraid of committing murder in the Buddhist temple just now, but when he thought that the master dared to burn down the Guanyin Temple with a fire, he didn't have any fear at all.
Now that I see the senior brother arriving, I feel more confident. I know that the senior brother must have been instructed by his master. If the abbot dares to be disrespectful at all, he will smash his Buddha statue.
"Senior Brother, this temple does not look like a good temple. It does not accept wandering monks to stay for the night, but only relatives of the emperor. This deceitfully steals our reputation and tarnishes the compassion of our Buddha." Xiao Bailong put on a hat first, and he had no idea what he was saying with such words. It's so easy to pick up, even the Bodhisattvas have praised it.
After listening to Xiao Bailong's words, the Great Sage looked at these monks who seemed to be advancing but were retreating. He sneered in his heart and had already made a calculation.
This monk must have seen Xiao Bailong alone, and wanted to use his strength to bully the few. Unexpectedly, Xiao Bailong showed his weapon and told them to retreat and not dare to come near. The great sage saw clearly that these were real ordinary monks, and even more No skills.
In fact, not to mention the magic power, the Buddhist teachings all over the body are also very shallow. The master outside has just said that this Baolin Temple looks brilliant, I am afraid it is just an ordinary Buddhist temple. Buddhist temples...are no better.
The Great Sage was about to have a seizure, but after taking a look at the picture of Guanyin Bodhisattva next door, he realized why Xiao Bailong had not made a move. He pulled Xiao Bailong back all the way.
The monks thought they were leaving, so they subconsciously followed their footsteps, but they followed them into the main hall.
When I arrived at the Main Hall, I saw the Great Sage holding an iron rod and pointing at the three Buddha statues above. "You are a clay sculpture and a gold statue. How can you not feel anything inside? I, Sun Bao, lead the Tang Sage Monk to worship the Buddha in the West and ask for it." Zhenjing, I came here to stay here tonight, so sign up with me as soon as possible! If you don’t keep me waiting, I will smash the golden body with a stick and teach you to return to your true form of clay!"
Seeing the power of his senior brother, Xiao Bailong rushed up with a spear in hand. Although these three Buddha statues looked familiar to him, he didn't know who they were for the moment.
Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps forward, he felt a tightening in his waist. It turned out to be his senior brother reaching out to pull him, and he became alert. When he took a closer look, he immediately understood that it corresponded to the previous master's teachings.
If there are three Buddha statues enshrined at the same time in this main hall, most of them are the "Three Generations of Buddhas" of Buddhism. This is indeed the case when he saw it.
The great sage saw that the monks were approaching, so he let go slightly. The little white dragon took a few steps forward with a spear in his hand. The monks were terrified, and the abbot kept shouting: "You can't do it, you can't do it!"
"snort!"
The Great Sage then pressed the little white dragon down again, turned over and jumped in front of the monks. He swept the golden cudgel, but did not let them take another step forward: "You monks who rarely fight, all kneel down to welcome our master." Tang Shengseng, otherwise I will demolish your monastery, smash your temple...and turn all three of your Buddha statues into clay embryos."
Then there was a sound, and the iron rod was slammed to the ground, and a big hole was immediately made in the main hall.
When the monks saw that he was unreasonable and capable, and acted in such a vicious manner, they knew that what he said was not a lie, so they dispersed one after another, leaving only the fat abbot in place.
Seeing that the master of the courtyard was about to run away, the Great Sage grabbed him and pressed him in front of the Three Buddhas. He hung the golden cudgel over his head and said, "Kneel down."
"Alas, alas, kneel down, kneel down. Grandpa, have mercy on me, grandpa, have mercy on me."
The Great Sage said coldly: "Hurry up and clean a thousand houses and rest in service to my master."
When the abbot heard this, how could he respond? He just said: "My temple has less than 300 houses. There are many monks and few houses. I really don't dare to accommodate grandpa."
"You monks have too many rooms and too few rooms, so please move them out."
"We, the four to five hundred monks, have all moved out and have no place to live! Grandpa, you are so talented, please find another place to live! Our small temple cannot accommodate a giant Buddha like you."
"Ke——" At this time, he still dared to shirk the blame. The Great Sage first glanced at the three Buddhas above, and seeing that there was still no reaction, he said coldly: "It turns out that my master is bigger than the third Buddha in your Mahavira Hall. That's the case. ——”
"Go, ask these three Buddhas if they know my master...and ask them by the way if they will let my master stay in the temple. If they don't let me... we won't go to the Western Heaven. ,not going!"
How could the abbot have ever seen such a battle, but he had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow, and do as the great sage said, "The Buddha is here, the disciples are kowtowing, and there are eminent monks from the Tang Dynasty passing by to stay overnight outside the temple. I don't know what to do." Is it effective?"
"welcome--"
The golden light of the Buddha statue in the center was shining, which was a response.
"oops!"
Although the Great Sage was a little surprised, the abbot, the master of the temple, was even more excited. He had served him in the temple for most of his life. This was the first time he had seen the Buddha appear. How could he not know whether he was really here? Virtuous monk?
Bang bang bang, kowtow to the head.
Tathagata, who was sitting in the Lingshan Mountain, looked at Wukong and others through the Buddha statue with a lot of anger all over their bodies, and it was inevitable that he felt a little helpless in his heart...
If it were others, that would be fine. Sun Houhou might still be resentful of suppressing him for five hundred years. If he didn't give some reaction, he would really dare to smash these three Buddha statues... But the abbot of the temple He was really bold, even ordinary monks should be taken in. Who gave him the courage to turn away Tripitaka?
It is said to be a Buddhist temple, but it has no Buddhist teachings, let alone Buddhist virtues. The reputation of Buddhism is mostly destroyed by the hands of these people.
Seeing that it was rare for him to talk to the Buddha, the Great Sage said: "Tathagata Buddha, in such a small Buddhist temple, even we and other wandering monks are not willing to stay for one night... Don't protect me, old grandson." Master went to Lingshan, you won’t let us wait for the mountain gate, right?”
"This journey to the West is not interesting. My master has profound Buddhist teachings, so why go all the way to Lingshan to learn Buddhist scriptures? Why don't we just go back... It would be nice to ask my master to start a sect and become a Buddha himself. "
"You monkey head, be careful that I keep crushing you for another five hundred years. Don't say any more. Go and welcome your master into the temple." As soon as he finished speaking, the golden body that was originally shining with golden light returned to normal.
"Old monk, did you hear clearly?"
"Everyone who comes, please go and greet Mr. Tang——!" The abbot, the master of the courtyard, wished he could use all his energy in his life.
The Great Sage and Xiao Bailong looked at each other and smiled. The two of them went out of the temple first to greet the master. However, they saw the master making a Buddha salute to the west. He turned around and scolded the two of them: "It's nonsense. It's just a night stay." Late in the evening, such a big fight broke out."
"Disciple just took the opportunity to vent his anger...who would have thought that Buddha would actually show his power." The great sage blinked and said, "Master, please punish me."
"You naughty hozen!" Fahai nodded the great sage's head and cursed with a smile: "I won't do this next time."
Amitabha.
Fahai recited the Buddha's name silently in his heart. Even he had never thought that the Buddha would appear. Is it just because of Wukong's joke about not going to the Western Heaven?
Is there a deeper meaning behind this?
Let’s not mention it for now.
In the temple, drums were played in the east and bells were rung in the west. The bells and drums rang together, alarming the monks in both corridors. Someone in the temple shouted, "Quickly change your clothes, follow the teacher's schedule, and go out to meet the master from the Tang Dynasty."
All the monks were really neatly arranged and went out to greet him. Some were wearing cassocks, some were wearing long-sleeved shirts, and some were wearing straight skirts. The very poor ones had no long clothes, so they picked up two skirts and draped them around their bodies.
Fa Hai looked at it and thought to himself, even the monks in a temple are divided into three, six or nine grades. Isn't it the same in Lingshan?
I also saw the abbot, the master of the temple, fully dressed, complete with cassocks, rosary beads, and Zen staff. He knelt down at the door of the temple to greet him: "Welcome to Master Tripitaka, the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty!"
