Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 20 Dare to ask the elders the secret of longevity?

"This is a treasured place, and the spiritual energy is good." Fa Hai said to Wukong, who was standing beside him, "To practice with the help of the spiritual energy of this mountain, and help you with your master, maybe you can connect your meridians and meridians in one piece, and you will be able to cultivate your whole body. Go further."

Wukong was overjoyed when he heard his master's words, "This is the first time I have seen a place where people live in the deserted mountains. It's okay for my grandson to suffer a little bit. Now it's time to let the master stay in bed for a good night's sleep. Why don't you just stay here for a few more days?"

Fa Hai shook his head and said, "You hozen, living for one day is the predestined law, you still want to live here for a long time and let go of your brutality, don't collide with the elders in the courtyard, maybe let you live a few more times. The day is unknown."

While chatting, he also walked to the door.

It is really a blessed place. When you look at it from a distance, you can see layers of palaces and pavilions, the tops of the mountains are covered by colorful clouds, the red mist is splendid, and the pine and cypresses are continuous all the way, either quiet or proud.

There are bursts of bells ringing from the towers of bells and drums in the monastery, and the Buddha's voice can also be heard in the Buddha's so-called so-called Anchan monks.

Walking closer, look up and see the words "Guanyin Temple".

Fahai, Wukong, and Xiaobailong stopped together.

"It turned out to be a dojo palace dedicated to the Bodhisattva." Wukong exclaimed: "Since it is a Bodhisattva, my grandson will worship her twice."

The little white dragon who turned into a white horse snorted, meaning that he was also counted.

Fahai silently recited "Amitabha Buddha" in his heart and greeted the two disciples, "Let's go to the main hall to worship the Buddha."

When a guest came from afar, or a fellow monk, the welcoming monk at the entrance of the monastery greeted him. Seeing Fahai's splendid appearance and outstanding temperament, he knew that he was an eminent monk and asked with a smile, "Where does the Master come from?"

Fahai folded his hands together and greeted him: "The poor monk is an imperial envoy from the East, and he went to Leiyin Temple to worship Buddha and ask for scriptures. It will be late here, and I want to borrow the temple for the night."

The guest heard that he was an eminent monk from a great country, and he was even more polite, and said: "The Master enters, and the disciples go to pass on the abbot and elder of this hospital."

"good!"

Fa Hai entered the courtyard with the welcoming monk, and the monks looked at them and whispered in secret.

"ah--!"

If it's just Fahai alone, that's fine.

But a hairy monkey sprang from behind him, startling all the monks in the courtyard. Huhe: "Grandpa Lei Gong is here, Grandpa Lei Gong is here!"

"What are you panicking about?" A calm old monk's voice came from the hall, and immediately saw a rather capable old monk, surrounded by a large group of monks, turned out of the hall, and those monks who were panicked also immediately quieted down. It seems that the old monk is the backbone of this Guanyin Temple.

Unexpectedly, when the old monk saw the Great Sage, he exclaimed, "What is this?"

"Huh?" Wukong narrowed his eyes, as if he had a seizure.

Fa Hai secretly saw that this old monk was not young, and he had been practicing Buddhism for a long time, and he had also cultivated a little mana.

When cultivating Buddha, you can see the strange person changing color, which shows that his cultivation is not profound.

Moreover, as the abbot of the "Guanyin Temple", saying such words in his mouth has nothing to do with the depth of his practice, it is a lack of virtue.

Even if you say a word: what kind of monster is this, it is better than "what is this".
Fahai has taken a general look at this Guanyin Temple all the way. It is a deep mountain monastery, but it is so splendid and prosperous. Whether it is the bluestones under his feet or the fragrant trees built in the temples, they are all precious in the world.

Going a step further, I saw the Guanyin statue enshrined in the main hall, which was carved from a piece of fine suet.

There is also this old monk in front of him, wearing a velvet shirt with a collar, emerald hair shining with golden edges, a pair of monk shoes with eight treasures, and a cane embedded with a cloud star. This appearance is when he was the abbot of Jinshan Temple. Nor can it compare.

Fortunately, there are ten thousand volumes of scriptures in Fahai's belly, and without these external decorations, he is naturally a Buddha-nature surrounded by his body, overflowing with spiritual energy, and he is a genuine monk.

If he said that it was a pure land outside the world when he first saw it, he had only walked a dozen steps. Fahai couldn't help but sigh, it turns out that the temples all over the world, regardless of whether they worship real Buddhas or Bodhisattvas, are all places to collect money.

Not to mention what other filth.

Master Guanyin is merciful, and his good name spreads to the three realms. However, this Guanyin Temple behaves like this.

Wukong saw that his master didn't stop him, so he took advantage of the situation and went forward, but now he has a little sense of proportion, just put a monkey face in front of the old monk, and laughed: "What am I? I will call you. Take a good look at what I am."

The elder took a few steps back one after another, unable to hide his astonishment.

Fa Hai made a statement to relieve the siege: "Wukong, you should step back. Everyone is shocked. This is a disciple accepted by the poor monk. Although he is a stubborn monkey, he has the ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons. The monk is an ordinary monk, and he will go to the West, relying on his support along the way."

It's not true, it's just that it wasn't fully stated.

The old monk saw that the Great Sage was not easy to provoke, so he didn't care about him, and only welcomed the eminent monk from the East into the wing.

Fahai chatted with him casually, "The poor monk Sanzang has not asked the elders for the name of the law."

"The old man's name is Jinchi."

"It turned out to be Elder Jinchi. I don't know how long the elder will live if I don't respect or respect him?" Fa Hai took a quick look at it, and the old monk's age may be above 150.

The old monk said: "The idiot is 270 years old."

"Oh?" Fa Hai raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Dare to ask the elders the secret of longevity?"

underestimated him.

"Hehehe, where is the secret? It's just a matter of concentrating on the Buddhadharma, chanting sutras and reciting the Buddha's teachings. Perhaps it was the bodhisattva's favor that allowed Lao Na to live so many more days."

"The elders take care of the palace for the Bodhisattva, and they have worked hard and made great achievements." Fa Hai said a few words along his words, but he was thinking secretly in his heart. The old monk didn't tell the truth.

But this is the key to people's longevity, and it is also the reason why they are not willing to show people easily.

I am afraid that this is not a serious way to prolong life, otherwise why are there so many children in this monastery?

At that time, it was not that he had never seen practitioners who sought immortality in the form of boys and girls, not only evil spirits, but there were not a few people who went astray from Buddhism and Taoism.

Not all monks have such a root of wisdom and are able to understand Buddhist scriptures clearly, so they can only find another way.

In Fa Hai's eyes, this old monk was not a well-known and respected monk.

Seeing that the master was led to the wing to talk about the Buddha, Wukong led the white dragon horse to the stable.

"Eldest brother." Bai Longma said with some uncertainty: "My little brother seems to smell some demonic energy."

"Demon Qi?" Wukong immediately cheered up, looked inside and out of the temple with his fiery eyes, shook his head and said, "I just watched it again, but I didn't find any ghosts hiding in the temple, did you hear it wrong? already?"

"I'm not too sure, this monster is probably not a vicious person, so it didn't leave a bloody aura, but the smell unique to the black bear spirit should not be wrong." Xiao Bailong took a few more sniffs, "It seems There seems to be nothing. After careful calculation, I am afraid that it was left half a month ago. If we come a day later, the smell will be completely dissipated."

Wukong pondered for a moment, then said, "Don't scare the grass and startle the snake. I'll go check the wind first. Maybe it's just a ghost who admires the Buddhadharma, come to the temple to ask for Buddha? This is the temple of Guanyin Bodhisattva. It's too late for ordinary monsters to hide, who dares to come in?"

"Senior brother is right. If it really is a man-eating monster, I'm afraid he would have killed him long ago when he heard that Master was visiting."

Wukong smoothed the mane of the white dragon horse, and when he saw several children practicing in one place, he made a self-kind smile and greeted him——
