Chapter 190 Buddhist Mountain Worship Ceremony
Master Jinggen paused for a moment, and looked at Zhang Hao with more doubts in his eyes.

He really didn't understand, what is the use of this person in front of him, who in his eyes is like a superior person, asking for these things from the temple.

Moreover, Zhang Hao's clothes are more or less weird.

It's not the dress of a monk, but it always gives him a kind feeling, as if it is really... the reincarnation of a Buddha.

"Benefactor Zhang, can I ask, what are you going to use for these things you asked for?" Master Jinggen put his palms together and asked.

Zhang Hao didn't shy away from it, and blurted out: "I am a mountain walker. When walking into the mountain, I need to perform a mountain walking ceremony, so these things I ask for are all for walking the mountain."

heard.

Master Jinggen nodded thoughtfully, then asked: "Dare to ask Master Zhang, what is a mountain walker?"

To be honest, he has never heard of the profession of mountain walker in this world. He became a monk since he was a child, and after years of hard work, he finally became the abbot.

I don't know that it's normal to walk a mountain.

Zhang Hao also clasped his hands together, and replied: "Mountain walking is a profession that has existed since ancient times. It walks among hundreds of mountains, sets foot in mountains and forests, searches for treasures in mountains, and explores the secrets of valleys..."

After a brief explanation, Master Jinggen had a preliminary understanding of this profession, and had a new understanding of Zhang Hao in front of him.

His feeling is not wrong, the benefactor Zhang Hao in front of him is indeed a master.

Moreover, the things Zhang benefactors ask for are relatively common things in temples, even common things.

Of course, the most important thing is that he only feels that Master Zhang has an inseparable relationship with the Buddhist school, and that this Master Zhang may indeed be the reincarnation of a Buddha.

Then, Master Jing Gen turned his head and looked at the little apprentice behind him: "You go and get a string of Buddhist beads, and, according to what this benefactor Zhang Hao said, get all the things you need. "

The little apprentice was taken aback, looked at the abbot, and then at Zhang Hao.

He still didn't understand what was going on, why did the abbot agree to all the requests mentioned by the benefactor in front of him?
What's more, it's like the standing incense used in the temple that day. It's really hard to find, and it takes a lot of time, but the abbot agreed without hesitation.

This is somewhat strange.

He naturally also knew that the benefactor Zhang Hao in front of him was the so-called expert said by the abbot, but he really didn't see how the benefactor Zhang Hao looked like an expert, except when he just introduced Zoushanren, he said Apart from the cloudy and illusory introduction, Zhang Hao's benefactor looks like an ordinary person.

This may also be because he does not have the kind of wisdom root that the abbot said.

With this thought in his mind, he clasped his hands together, saluted silently, took two steps back before straightening up, and walked towards the back of the hall.

"Master Zhang, can you accompany me to visit the temple?" Master Jinggen invited with a kind smile on his face.

Zhang Hao paused, then smiled, nodded and said: "That is naturally the best."

The two made "please" gestures to each other, and then walked out from the front hall.

At this time, many tourists were amazed after seeing this scene, and even felt a little unbelievable.

They naturally recognized that the person in cassock was the abbot of Fangguang Temple, Master Jinggen, but they also knew that Master Jinggen was very busy as the abbot on weekdays, because many people came here for his fame and wanted to Discuss Dharma with Master Jingen.

They didn't expect that Master Jinggen, who was the abbot of the temple, walked side by side with a young man who was dressed in a weird way, talking freely.

This has also aroused the jealousy and envy of many people. After all, many people think day and night that it is impossible to have such an opportunity.

At the same time, many people are more grateful to that young man, because without this young man, they would not have had the opportunity to see Master Jinggen, the abbot, in the temple.

The two met the eyes of most tourists, walked out of the front hall, and walked on the road of the temple.

"My benefactor, how much do you know about Buddhism?" Master Jinggen took the initiative to start the conversation.

Zhang Hao stood up with one hand, with a smile on his face: "Actually, I don't know much about Buddhism. I just have some one-sided views. In my opinion, Buddhism..."

While the two were chatting and walking, Master Jing Gen has been exporting his understanding of Buddhism, and he has been trying to help Zhang Hao awaken the kind of insights on Buddhism that may exist in his mind.

Master Jinggen's idea is very simple. If Zhang Hao is really a Buddha who came into the world as he guessed, then he will spare no effort to persuade Zhang Hao to stay in the temple. He can't just watch Zhang Hao go. What kind of mountain walker, since you are a disciple of the Buddha, you must practice Buddhism in the temple.

However, after a lot of hard work, Master Jinggen also discovered that Zhang Hao didn't have much insight into Buddhism, and he wasn't that interested in Buddhism.

Therefore, Master Jinggen's idea of ​​keeping Zhang Hao in the temple gradually faded away.

The two walked to the back hall like this.

All the people who had listened to Master Jinggen's lecture on the Dharma in the apse before were sitting in the apse, concentrating on reciting Buddhist scriptures in their hearts.

However, at this moment, they heard the voice of Master Jing Gen talking to a man, they all recovered from that state of meditation, and looked towards the outside of the hall together.

I saw, outside the hall.

Master Jing Gen and Zhang Hao walked side by side, discussing Buddhist scriptures with each other, the two chatted happily, talking and laughing, which shocked many people's jaws.

Because in their impression, Master Jingen is a very serious person. They have never seen Master Jingen smile, and they have never even heard Master Jingen talk to a person with such a respectful attitude.

"What is the background of that young man? To be able to walk side by side with Master Jingen, this..."

"I don't know. Looking at him, he is not a Buddhist practitioner, but an ordinary tourist."

"Could it be that this person is the master who went out to wander in the temple and came back today? That's why Master Jinggen had a good chat with him?"

"How is it possible? The young man is only in his 20s at most."

"What's going on? The most important thing is that Master Jinggen was able to abandon us and talk to this young man. This shows that the young man must be an unusual person. Maybe...he may be a What about the worldly masters?"

"I don't know, maybe this young man has an inseparable relationship with Master Jingen."

While everyone was talking, Master Jing Gen and Zhang Hao had already walked away, and they could only look at the backs of the two who were gradually leaving, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

……

Soon, under the guidance of Master Jing Gen, he and Zhang Hao visited the entire Fangguang Temple.

It has to be said that the area of ​​Fangguang Temple is still very large. According to Master Jinggen, Fangguang Temple was built by the first generation abbot with only four monks. It has been hundreds of years ago. Years of history, after hundreds of years of wind and frost, has always stood here.

Zhang Hao couldn't help expressing a burst of emotion.

Then, the little apprentice had already prepared everything Zhang Hao needed, and also brought a string of Buddhist beads to Master Jing Gen.

Master Jinggen didn't mean to make things difficult, he took the beads in his own hands, rolled them around in the incense ashes, and then chanted the Buddhist scriptures. After staying in the incense ashes for a long time, he picked up the beads and handed them to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao bowed and took it with both hands.

Putting the bead in his hand, he didn't know whether it was a delusion or psychological trouble, but he actually felt that the bead was warm, as if there was an inexplicable power contained in the bead, ready to explode at any time.

It was very similar to the relic he got from Huang Pizi by chance before, and it also felt warm.

"Thank you, Master." Zhang Haoke said politely and respectfully.

Master Jinggen clasped his hands together, bowed to salute, and respectfully said: "Benefactor Zhang is serious. If the old monk and Fangguang Temple can help Donor Zhang, that is our blessing."

Zhang Hao packed all the things he got, and after making sure nothing was missing, he clasped his hands together: "Master Jinggen, I still need to borrow this temple gate."

Master Jinggen was stunned for a moment, his eyes showed doubts. Obviously, he didn't understand how Zhang Hao used it in front of the temple.

"Benefactor Zhang, please go ahead." However, Master Jinggen did not stop him, and still had a kind smile on his face.

Zhang Hao bowed and saluted, and walked towards the gate of the temple with his things.

Master Jinggen and the curious little apprentice followed behind.

Wait until the three of them come to the gate of the temple together.

A large number of tourists were about to walk into the temple, but when they saw the abbots in cassocks coming out, they all stopped and looked over curiously.

On the other hand, Zhang Hao walked to the gate of the temple with the Gu Ling basket on his shoulders, and squatted down as if no one was there. Then, he took out the incense burner, the standing incense prepared in advance, and a piece of incense from the Gu Ling basket one by one. Red cloth, and a transparent bottle, which contained a handful of soil.

Spread the red cloth on the ground, place the incense burners and tribute fruits in turn.

Then, light the incense sticks.

He first bowed in the direction of the temple.

Visit Buddha statues and temples.

Then, he turned slightly sideways, and bowed in the direction of the mountain.

worship the mountain god.

Afterwards, he turned around, and bowed deeply again towards the foot of the mountain and the mountainside.

I bow down to the spirit of the mountain.

After worshiping, he put the standing incense in his hand into the incense burner.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he opened the transparent bottle and poured the handful of soil in the bottle into the palm of his hand.

Then he started spinning around the piece of red cloth, and scattered the handful of soil in his hand little by little.

This handful of soil is the soil on the big mountain on the back of Zhaojia Village. It has the aura of Zhang Hao, a mountain walker, scattered around here, so that the mountain gods and mountain spirits of Hengshan can become more familiar with him, a mountain walker. breath, so that it is easier to accept him.

It's like holding a standing incense, worshiping Buddha statues, worshiping mountain gods in the middle, and worshiping mountain spirits in the middle.

In fact, if he was able to take those things out of the temple, he would naturally be recognized by the temple, and being recognized by the temple meant he would be recognized by the Buddha statue.

Although the Buddha statue is in the mountain, the personality of the Buddha statue is above the mountain god, so it is bigger than the mountain god.

Then Zhang Hao, who has been recognized by the Buddha statue, can naturally also be recognized by the mountain god and mountain spirit.

In this way, after completing the mountain walking ceremony, he naturally doesn't have to worry about encountering danger after entering the mountain, let alone worry that some bad things will happen in the mountain due to unfamiliarity with this mountain walking.
