Xuan Yan was hungry at noon, but he was too embarrassed to seek alms from his two disciples, so he had to hold on.
Until the evening, I was so hungry that I was dizzy and even sweating while riding on the horse.
Fortunately, the Monkey King wanted to rest early and found the Star Courtyard early in the morning, so he didn't have to wait until dark - he could easily find it by following the lantern light at that time.
Yamazaki knew that Xuan Yan had been hungry all day, so he asked Gu Ling'er to prepare porridge.
Xuan Yan drank a bowl and immediately became energetic.
After eating three bowls of porridge with pickles, he put down his bowls and chopsticks with satisfaction, and then realized that the two apprentices were not there.
Gu Ling'er saw it and said, "Stop looking, those two went to Xiaodongtian to eat meat."
Xuan Yan quickly put his hands together and said, "Amitabha! Good! Good!"
"The Buddha actually doesn't fast, the key is the Buddha's heart," Yamazaki said with a smile, "Besides, they are not ordained or ordained, they are just lay disciples."
Xuan Yan suddenly realized, "Amitabha, what the donor said is absolutely true."
Yamazaki said: "Okay, if you have nothing to do, just go back and do your evening classes. Everyone has his or her own destiny. Just be yourself and do it. There is no need to force others."
"Amitabha, poor monk, please leave." Xuan Yan stood up and clasped his hands hesitantly.
"Wait, you're hesitating, what do you want to say? But it doesn't matter."
"Amitabha, the poor monk failed to cross the river yesterday. Thinking of the benefactor's great supernatural powers, he wanted to learn some magic from the benefactor for self-defense."
Yamazaki laughed, "I really don't dare to teach you this."
"Don't be anxious. When you find a big temple, you can go beg for alms."
"This is Xiniu Hezhou. They are all Buddhists. They should let you read the secret book."
"If it doesn't work out, I can always get it if I go to the city to beg for alms."
Xuan Yan folded his hands and saluted, "Amitabha, thank you so much for your advice."
…
Xuan Yan rode a horse for hundreds of miles every day, going to beg for alms in every village he met, and it took him sixty days to walk thousands of miles, which was considered the first step of his thirty million miles journey.
Coincidentally, I saw a large temple in the distance, so I naturally went to beg for alms and was able to check in smoothly.
Yamazaki and others did not go over and stayed by the water.
Because Xuan Yan followed the business route honestly this time, he did not encounter any monsters or bandits who robbed him along the way.
Yamazaki and others followed him all the way and did nothing extra except providing food and accommodation.
Only Fan Zhen dispersed her wealth along the way and bought many things to send to Xiaodongtian for the people in Zhaojiacun.
Especially meat. Little Bailong's appetite is really big. Fortunately, he knows how to hunt. Otherwise, the output of these villages would not be able to feed him.
Yamazaki doesn't care about hunting.
Eating food is a matter of course, as long as you don't kill indiscriminately.
…
Master Xuanyan and his disciples entered the Guanyin Temple, which has a vast gate, tall pines and cypress trees, layers of palaces and pavilions, stacks of corridors, tall bell towers and drums, and steep pagodas.
The monkey did not bow when he entered, but looked at the bells and drums with great interest, so he flew up to ring the bells.
Even knocking and knocking made everything uneasy.
Xuan Yan called him hurriedly, but he didn't stop. He was so crazy that he wanted to beat him.
"Monster! Don't be so presumptuous!"
An old monk flew out with golden light, and a group of monks formed an array behind him.
The old monk led the monks to float in the air, chanting Sanskrit sounds.
Buddhist runes were flying in the air one by one, hitting the monkey.
If it were real swords and guns, even ten thousand of them wouldn't be enough to see. The monkey would stand there and let them beat him without even frowning.
But when it comes to Buddhist magic, that's another story, because he has a lot of Buddhist energy in his body, and when the magic is activated, the Buddhist energy is activated.
The monkey felt uncomfortable all over and immediately left the bell and drum and fled.
"Amitabha, listen, monster monkey. Buddhism opens the door to convenience. Even monsters like you can become Buddhas. But Buddhism is also a place of purity. If you can't get rid of the nature of the monster mind, don't come back."
"Hmph, I, grandson, are so curious!" The Monkey King said harshly, and he also knew that he was in the wrong.
Xuan Yan folded his hands and saluted, "Amitabha, elder, please don't be angry. This son is the new disciple of the poor monk. It was the poor monk's lax discipline. The poor monk hereby apologizes to the elder."
"That's all, since it's your fate, young monk, I can't comment on it."
The old monk landed, and the golden light dissipated and turned into an old monk who seemed to need help when walking.
Especially the equipment inlaid with gold and jade can carry enough weight.
The gold-woven monk's hat is inlaid with a red agate, and the gold-silver cassock is hung with various rings. The monk's robe is considered low-end, just brocade.
Hanging on the gold belt is a gold sachet to ward off evil spirits.
The Buddhist beads on the neck are each an inch in size and are carved from spiritual stones.
The Buddhist beads in his hand are made of white jade, each one is crystal clear and radiates the light of Buddha.
…
Xuan Yan clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you very much, elder."
"Welcome to the Master." The monks clasped their hands and saluted.
"Without any courtesy, let's all go." The old monk waved his hand and did not look at them. He kept looking at Xuan Yan.
"Amitabha." Xuan Yan didn't know why, so he could only let others watch.
"Little monk, is your cassock and Zen staff a Buddhist treasure?"
"Ah?"
"Ha, you are so boastful and dare to pretend to be a Bodhisattva."
"Guangzhi shut up!"
"But, the master..."
"Let's go back and copy the scriptures for punishment. How can we, the monks, make fun of the Bodhisattva!"
"yes."
Monk Guangzhi stopped talking, but still glared at Xuan Yan fiercely.
"Amitabha, Zen Master's clear guide."
Xuan Yan didn't happen to see it, but both apprentices saw it.
"Although the young monk is young, he is full of Buddha energy and has deep roots of wisdom. It must be his fate to come to my Guanyin Temple. You might as well stay a few more days."
"Amitabha, thank you Zen Master for your kindness. I see that Zen Master has great power. I wonder if you can give me some advice?"
"Don't dare. Since the young monk is destined to be a Bodhisattva, I don't dare to teach you. However, there are many books in my monastery. The young monk can take a look at them."
Xuan Yan was overjoyed and said, "Amitabha, thank you so much, Zen Master."
The old monk waved his hand, "No need to thank you. I won't hide it from you. When I saw this cassock Zen staff, I was also very happy. I wonder if the young monk can lend me these to watch and ponder the mysteries of Buddhism in them while the young monk is in the courtyard." .”
"There is nothing you can't do." Xuan Yan took off his cassock and handed over the Zen staff together.
"Very good, thank you very much, I am here," the old monk took it with a smile, and then ordered, "Guangzhi, take them to the monastery, treat them well, don't neglect them."
Guangzhi put his hands together and said, "Yes, Master of the Academy, please three of you."
…
Star Courtyard.
Yamazaki used the technique of water mirror to show everyone the Guanyin Temple, then raised his hand and asked everyone to speak freely.
Gu Ling'er pondered, "Uncle, do you mean there is something wrong with the Guanyin Temple?"
"I can't tell." Zhou Yanyu threw away the burden directly.
Shaoyao thought, "Yes, that old monk can be regarded as an eminent monk in terms of his magic power and speech."
Yamazaki looked at the crowd and said, "Okay, let me give you a hint. Have you seen any pilgrims?"
"Indeed not." Yuan Xing nodded.
Scorpio said angrily: "Nonsense, there is no village in front of this place, and there is no city behind, so where are the pilgrims coming from!"
