Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 303 Is Master Sincere?
into the city.

The master and apprentice went straight to Jinguang Temple.

On the way, I also met the monks begging along the street that Xiao Bailong mentioned before, but Fa Hai didn't have any contact with them.

Although he didn't know what the monarchs and ministers of this country looked like, but Fahai just glanced at these monks and knew that they didn't have any merit. And because there were relics in Jinguang Temple to show auspiciousness, not to mention the daily incense for offering sacrifices to Saiguo, Even the tribute brought by the Four Kingdoms when offering sacrifices to Saiguo was enough for the monks in Jinguang Temple to live comfortably.

Such temples, not to mention merits and virtues, have already been touched by the light of relics without karma.

It's not that a person who has shaved his head can be called a monk, and even if he has a certificate written by the temple in his hand, he may not be a serious monk.

Fahai himself is a monk.

Therefore, what he hates the most is this kind of "fake monks". Of course, it cannot be said that there are no eminent monks in Jinguang Temple, but what he sees along the way is all mediocre.

Not only did they enjoy the blessings brought by the relics before, but now the relics are lost, which also makes them taste the suffering in the world.

I don't know how to get through the suffering in the world.

And the Jinguang Temple, which is located in the capital of Shangbang, has long since lost its incense.

The Great Sage smiled and said: "If the Bajie's words are different, if they are sincere believers, how can the Buddha not save them? According to my old grandson, it is the dishonesty of these monks who serve the Buddha that makes them suffer this catastrophe. They deserve it."

If Fei Fahai smelled the alcohol, he thought the two of them would ambush him.

Besides, Master himself wants to be a Buddha, can the Buddha in Lingshan agree?
Although the great sage sometimes talked about the matter of going to Lingshan and asking the master to succeed him for fun, he also knew it in his heart. This was the same as his idea of ​​wanting to be the Jade Emperor back then, and it was whimsical.

"oops--!"

Let each take a breath of fresh air to protect their minds and not let them lose their energy.

"Don't gossip." Fa Hai scolded them with a smile and said, "Let's enter the temple."

It's just Buddha. What kind of existence is it?
It seems that the deeper one's understanding of Buddhism, the farther one is from the "Buddha". On the contrary, it is not as good as when he first realized it, as if he could touch it with his hand.

As for the sincerity in the heart, it depends on the individual.

At this moment, Fahai didn't care whether there was an extra problem, and the most important thing was to save people.

This is night class.

The night grew darker.

Even if you can go up to the twelve floors, how much can this cleaning effort be compared to Fahai?

Xiao Bailong also echoed from the side: "Third brother has to make a point, it seems that the only thing in the eyes of my younger brother is people taking tea to cool down. Seeing this scene, the words are desolate and lonely at most."

This pagoda is called the five-color glazed pagoda, because there is a relic on the top of the pagoda, and there is another one named Qianjin relic peak.

"Like Master." Bajie subconsciously said.

Seeing that the two monsters could not be lured down, Fahai didn't force him, so he went up to the thirteenth floor with his broom. Sure enough, there were two goblins sitting in the heart of the tower on the 13th floor, with a plate of rice and a bowl in front of them. , a jug, playing finger-guessing, eating wine and having fun there!
Fa Hai walked up to both sides of him, but he still didn't realize it. He looked drunk and just had fun.

Most of the lonely temples in the mountains are dilapidated, and the Buddhist temples in the village are rich and honored.

But at this moment Fahai was in the tower, and he saw that there were glazed lamps in the middle of the tower, but there was dust and no fire; every step in front of the eaves was white jade railings, but dirt and flying insects had grown up early.

When Master Sanzang left Chang'an, he once made a wish in Famen Temple: burn incense in temples in the west, worship Buddha in temples, and sweep pagodas.

Now the incense has been burned, and the Buddha has worshiped. And I am going to return the relics, and by the way, clean up the filth in the pagoda.

"Rational, reasonable." The great sage rarely agrees with Bajie's words, and he also said with a smile: "Bodhisattva is like this, so is Master. It's just that Master says that he is an ordinary monk in the world, but he always does some extraordinary things."

Fa Hai thought for a while, and said: "It seems that the Nine-Headed Insect and the Ten Thousand Saints Dragon were arranged so that they didn't have any evil spirits, so they captured them both as a certification."

Fahai stood in front of the pagoda, performed a Buddhist ceremony in front of the pagoda, and said: "My disciple Sanzang was sent by the Eastern Tang Dynasty to Lingshan to visit my Buddha Tathagata to learn scriptures. I got the relics when I was exorcising demons in Bibotan. The Buddhist treasures of the Jinguang Temple in Jisai Kingdom have come here, and we will sweep the pagoda wholeheartedly to clean up the filth and return the Buddhist treasures."

Fahai looked at it with his Dharma eyes, and saw an old man lighting a candle in a thatched hut on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by some ragged children, learning to read sentence by sentence.

Fahai paid respects to him with Buddhist salutes.

Fahai found a broom, left the hall alone, and went to the backyard.

It was during this night that the voices of some students reciting gradually reached Fa Hai's ears.

And another Mencius, Meng Ke.

I saw that this tower is really towering and leaning against the Han, abruptly volleying in the sky.

When viewed from the outside, the pagoda is thirteen stories high, and it can be said that it is extremely cloudy, creating a Buddha surrounded by fog and dragons.

Perhaps the wandering monks of Jinguang Temple, compared with the carefree time in Jinguang Temple in the past, can be regarded as suffering, but compared with those ordinary people who have no food, no clothes, and are only struggling on the edge of life and death. What's the point of all the poor?
Perhaps it is impossible to save all sentient beings, but why can't I save those who can be saved?
As for his sincerity in worshiping Buddha, Fahai thinks he is sincere, but this sincerity is directed towards the Buddha in his heart, not Lingshan Buddha.

"If you don't practice virtue, you only rely on the Buddha's treasure." Fa Hai warned several disciples: "It is inevitable that you will end up like this. You must always remember that supernatural powers and spells are only the way to protect yourself. Ben. Otherwise, Kong has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and the superior cannot secure the sky and the people, and the inferior cannot punish the rape and eliminate the evil. What is the use of it?"

Everyone rushed forward, and several young monks were dying, almost out of breath, and locked behind again. If it wasn't for this, they wouldn't have discovered them until now.

"That's right!" Bajie stroked his palms and smiled, "There are so many Bodhisattvas in Lingshan, but there is only one Bodhisattva? Bodhisattvas are naturally unusual, otherwise, wouldn't Lingshan be like Bodhisattvas?"

Fa Hai's thunderous sound was deafening, and he let out a "Nie Yi", which frightened the two monsters to death. After a loud cry, they all fell to the ground, breaking out in a cold sweat, as if the smell of alcohol had dissipated, and suddenly woke up .

They have obviously also heard about Master Sanzang's deeds, and know that Master Sanzang is merciless in transcending ogre monsters. In addition, as long as he is not evil, there is a chance of survival.

"The porridge is warm!" The Great Sage picked up a bowl of porridge and returned to the hall.

Bajie pondered for a long time, then said: "I am different, I have also seen that worshiping Buddha is useless, even my own believers cannot be protected."

Fa Hai, who had just arrived in front of the pagoda, also listened to their words, but he didn't know where they learned the habit, grasping some painful feet, he wanted to connotate a few words.

At the same time, Yang Jian also discovered this Mr. Ziyu who was preaching in the capital of Jisai Kingdom.

The brothers and sisters were taken aback for a moment, and then looked at each other in blank dismay.

And these reverences... are they for the Jinguang Temple?
Or a monk from Jinguang Temple?

After all, Fahai is a Buddhist, and these senses of ritual are deeply rooted in his bones.

broken!

All the juniors hurriedly followed——

If you climb to the top, ordinary people can see it thousands of miles away, and look far away as if you are at the sky.

When the masters and apprentices came in to watch, they felt even more lonely.

"evil creature!"

After all, Fahai pushed open the tower door——

The Great Sage laughed and asked him, "What is an ordinary Buddhist?"

Gu is a sage of the human race, Zeng Zi was ordered to preach, and Confucius and Mencius lived in Huoyun Cave.

Master Sanzang!

Although there is an incense burner in front of the Buddha, there is nothing left to do with the gray cold flowers.

Bajie laughed and said, "Master's words don't seem like an ordinary Buddhist."

The master and disciples looked at the seven gold characters written across the door: "Decree to build the Jinguang Temple to protect the country", but there was no one in the room, a look of coldness, which also made everyone sigh.

If it is according to the thoughts of the Great Sage and others, it is not impossible to ask them to kowtow to the Buddha sincerely. The premise is that the Buddha must be their master.

There was a slight cold wind, and the lights of thousands of houses were uneven.

If it wasn't for his mana, it would be really difficult to clean the tower with just a broom.

The master and apprentice just watched off for a while, and no one followed.

Fa Hai could even imagine what kind of worship the monks of Jinguang Temple would receive when the relics were still there.

"Hey!" Bajie agreed, picked up his outfit and went to the kitchen, cleaned the pots and stoves, and began to add materials to cook.

Yang Jian didn't bother Mr. Ziyu, who was preaching in the world, the two also looked at each other, and after saluting each other, they gave up.

Tang Sanzang actually came!
But they didn't need to think too much, Fa Hai held up the broom and swung it twice, and the two spirits knelt on the ground with their heads covered, begging for mercy repeatedly: "Holy Monk, please forgive me, Holy Monk, please forgive me, we are not monsters! We are not monsters!" !"

The Great Sage sighed after hearing this: "Master is right, it really is true that Junior Brother Sha has always had Buddha-nature."

"Bajie." Fahai said to Bajie, "Go and cook some hot porridge."

Unexpectedly, these two aquarium spirits remained unmoved.

The Lingyun High Pagoda is in the backyard of the Buddhist temple. There are many fallen leaves and flowers along the way, which have already covered the road. There are many cobwebs in front of the corners and eaves.
Not long after, Bajie came over with hot porridge, and everyone put the hot porridge to cool first, so as not to burn the young monks.

At this time, the sky is full of stars and moons, and Qiaolou is full of drums.

Or is it simply the relic on the top of the Jinguang Temple?
The so-called mountain is not high, there are immortals, there is a name; the water is not deep, there are dragons, there are spirits
How is the temple?

When the disciples saw it, they also followed suit.

Wukong also looked at the top of the tower, and said aside: "Master, there is some aquatic aura in the tower."

Seeing the pilgrimage to the Jinguang Temple, Fa Hai only had one thought in his mind——

After worshiping Buddha.

Walking through the empty corridor covered with fallen leaves, and entering the cold ancient hall, the Great Sage saw that there was still some lamp oil on the candlestick, and wanted to go over to light it, but was stopped by his master, saying: "Don't hold the lamp first, so as not to alarm the patrols in the city." , out of nowhere."

And Wu Jing, who was watching Master outside the hall, suddenly said: "Although there is no sound of scriptures in the temple, the bird's voice in the hall is somewhat quiet and Zen."

Fa Hai swept all the way up to the twelfth floor, and became more and more energetic. How could he be slack in the slightest?
That is to say, an eminent monk like Fahai. If an ordinary monk came here, he would not have such great energy.

Because Fa Hai already knew that the thirteenth floor was guarded by the aquarium, so when he was sweeping the tower, he didn't deliberately restrain his movements. He wanted to lure the two aqua spirits down, grabbed them, and asked why.

They hid the clouds in the sky and didn't show themselves, they just emitted some breath, which made Master Sanzang feel it.

Seeing the golden body of the Buddha in the hall, Fahai went forward to ask for incense and bowed down.

At this time, Erlang Zhenjun also arrived at Jisai Kingdom. Behind him, Xiaotiangou and Meishan Six Generals pressed Nine-Headed Insect, Wansheng Laolong and Wansheng Longnu, and they were the main criminals in this case.

The so-called friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and a smile is enough when they meet each other.

Wu Jing raised a question: "Is Master sincere?"

Seeing that Bajie was still cooking in the kitchen, Fahai said to Wukong and the others, "Then you wait here and go to the tower to have a look as a teacher."

"But I don't know how to be sincere." Xiao Bailong shook his head, among his brothers and sisters, he had the worst talent in Dharma, and his master's teaching to him was always not above Dharma.

There are Buddha statues in the middle of the pagoda, but the incense burner in front of the Buddha statues is full of cigarette smoke; outside the window lattice, there are cobwebs in the corners. Fahai has swept out a lot of rat droppings along the way.

But Master is not even willing to become a Buddha, let alone become a Buddha.

Worshiping Buddha is worse than asking oneself after all.

Confucianism has two Mr. Ziyu, the one in front of you is one of Confucius' beloved disciples, Zeng, whose name is Shen.

After Fahai checked the young monks one by one, he got up after knowing that their lives were safe.

Seeing that it was a monk wearing a red cassock but holding a broom, the two ghosts were wondering where the monks dared to come here to amuse them. Suddenly, the name of a demon monk appeared in their minds.

The great sage didn't wait for the master's order, and just stretched out his hand to remove their shackles, dragged them with magic power, and slowly dropped the young monks to the ground.

I don't know, but I thought it was a wild temple in the mountains. If the scholar came here, maybe he could meet some female ghosts, Xu Shen, I don't know.

"Oh." The Great Sage laughed and said, "According to what you say, Bodhisattvas are no longer ordinary Buddhists."

It is a classic of Central Plains Confucianism.

"Namo Amitabha." Bajie folded his hands together and said with a smile: "Ordinary Buddhists should see through the world of mortals. The world is like nothing to me. Despite the turmoil in the Three Realms, I sit alone on the mountain and watch it with cold eyes—"

The Great Sage took a rough look around the courtyard, leaned closer to Master, and said, "Although the buildings in this temple are not cleaned, and the ground looks dusty, everything is well-arranged, and there is nothing wrong with it. Messy place."

The gentleman seemed to have a sense, he turned around and looked at Fa Hai, and embraced politely.

"Master!" The Great Sage exclaimed, pointing to the abbot's eaves residence in front of him, and said anxiously: "Look quickly, there are still a few young monks locked here!"

The two of them belong to the Bibotan aquarium, a catfish monster and a black fish spirit are not cannibals, and they think that they have never done any evil things in the past.

If you kowtow faster, you might be able to save your life.

"Not a monster?" Fahai said coldly: "What is your origin, what are you doing here, and you are recruited truthfully, if not"

Before Fa Hai finished speaking, the two ghosts kowtowed and said, "I've recruited, all of them have been recruited!"
