Chapter 47: Ancient Buddhist Temple

I have never heard of the name of the ancient Buddhist temple.At least in my impression, whether it is my parents or the uncles and aunts in the village, they never mentioned the word "ancient Buddhist temple" when they chatted.

At the very beginning, when I heard the old master Zhushan say it, I felt from the name that this ancient Buddhist temple should be a very awesome temple.The reason why I think so is very simple.My master Zhushan old Taoist is quite famous among the Taoists, and the monks worthy of his personal invitation must also be eminent monks who have attained the Tao.

The so-called people rely on clothes, and temples rely on packaging. Like the famous monk who has attained the Tao, the temple he stays in should of course be a large temple that can be sold.Therefore, before I arrived at the ancient Buddhist temple with my master Zhushan Laodao, I always thought that the ancient Buddhist temple was a magnificent and fragrant temple.

However, after trekking for four or five hours, walking a mountain road of more than ten miles, climbing two mountains, and following Master Zhushan's old way to reach the ancient Buddhist temple, I was immediately dumbfounded.

The ancient Buddhist temple in front of me is just a house with broken earth walls, and there is not even a sign at the door.Not to mention the sign, even the gate that originally consisted of two doors was missing one, and there was only one.Looking in from the gate, with the faint light, one can barely see a stone Buddha statue in the middle of the room.

After seeing these scenes, I had to sigh in my heart. "Where does this deserve to be called a temple? It's just so bad, it's not even as good as an earth temple!"

Of course, no matter how much I feel, I can't change the dilapidated appearance of this ancient Buddhist temple, nor can I change the reality that this is an ancient Buddhist temple.

However, after seeing the real appearance of the ancient Buddhist temple, I had some distrust towards the monk my master Zhushan Laodao was going to invite.Can a monk who makes his temple into such a dilapidated one be a capable monk?

"Monk Huizhi, are you there?" My master Zhushan Laodao didn't seem to care much about the dilapidated scene of this ancient Buddhist temple. It can be seen that he was psychologically prepared for this scene, that is to say, my master must have come here before I have been to this ancient Buddhist temple.

My master Zhushan Laodao yelled for a long time, but no one came out to answer him.

"Master, did you make a mistake, this place is so dilapidated, shouldn't it be an ancient Buddhist temple?" Seeing that Master yelled for a long time and no one responded, I felt that he was really mistaken.Although this place looks like a temple, it is a ruined temple!It's not like a place for a monk to stay.Therefore, I expressed my doubts to Master.

"Wrong fart!" My master Zhushan old Taoist cursed, and then said: "That monk Huizhi is a prodigal son, no matter how good the temple is, he can be ruined by that guy, he can only live in this ruined temple."

After my master finished speaking, he stopped screaming and stepped directly into the half-open gate.

"Since I can't wake up that wise monk, I have no choice but to come in without invitation." My master Zhushan old man comforted himself.

As soon as I heard my master say the word "poor", I couldn't help but want to laugh. A person like my master who is greedy for money and good at collecting money, dares to call him poor?You know, my master Zhushan Laodao alone has more money than the entire Shima Village, and he dares to call himself a "poor Taoist". He really has a thick skin.

On this side, I was secretly cursing my master Zhushan Laodao in my heart, and on the other side, my master Zhushan Laodao had already entered the lobby of the ancient Buddhist temple.

My master Zhushan Laodao has already entered, and I, as an apprentice, can't just wait outside!Besides, it's still dark outside, and it's still quite scary to be alone.So I followed my master through the door.

As soon as I entered the door, I found a bald old monk in ragged clothes curled up in the corner.If he hadn't been bald, I would have taken him for a beggar.

"It's dawn, get up!" My master Zhushan Laodao came to the monk's side, shaking his body, and shouted loudly.

The monk yawned, opened his eyes with great difficulty, and looked sleepily at my master Zhushan Laodao.

"Zhushan Niubi, what is it called in the middle of the night, has the ghost woke up?" the monk said angrily, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

My master Zhushan Laodao managed to wake up this monk, of course he would not let him fall back to sleep so easily. "Huizhi old bald donkey, the rooster has been crowing for a long time, and he still doesn't get up for morning class." While talking, my master pulled the monk Huizhi up forcefully.

"Zhushan Niubi, what's the matter, let it go! I'm still sleepy!" Monk Huizhi knew that my master Zhushan must have something to do when he came to see him. Chatted with him.

"Help me save two wild ghosts." My master Zhushan Laodao didn't play tricks with that wise monk, but directly stated the purpose of coming.

"To save two wild ghosts?" The wise monk looked at my master suspiciously and asked.

Monk Huizhi is very clear about my master Zhushan's old way skills.The lone ghosts who have been wandering outside for a year or two, my master Zhushan old man can handle them by himself, there is no need to come to invite him.Now, my master Zhushan Laodao has come all the time, that is to say, those two wild ghosts should have been wandering outside for many years.

Such a wild ghost will not only damage the skill of the ghost collector when harvesting it, but also greatly damage the skill of the ghost killer when saving it.Although, the damaged skill will be able to recover after a few days.But no matter for Taoist priests or monks, doing so is suspected of forcibly changing the destiny, and it is also a bit against the harmony of heaven.

Monk Huizhi knows that my master Zhushan Laodao has never done anything against the harmony of heaven in his life.This time, he actually did something against the harmony of heaven for the sake of two little ghosts. Monk Huizhi didn't figure this out.

That monk Huizhi, although he called my master Zhushan old Taoist Zhushan Niubi in his mouth, he didn't seem to respect my master very much.However, for my master Zhushan's old-fashioned ability, he is still very convinced.Of course, my master Zhushan Taoism is the same for monk Huizhi.

Both of them are tall people and best friends.However, when these two people met, it was like a dog meeting a sheep. Every time they had to quarrel with each other, they would hurt each other severely before they would give up.

When doing business, my master Zhushan Laodao is extremely serious.Seeing that Monk Huizhi had doubts, he told him all the ins and outs of the whole thing in one breath.

After listening to my master Zhushan Laodao's lecture, the wise monk immediately turned his head to me.

"Your master has risked everything for you. Don't let him down, you have to learn from him! You must learn all your master's skills and pass them on." The wise monk said with a smile on his face. Seriously said to me.

I was still a kid at the time, so what Monk Huizhi said was very similar to what my teacher or parents said.I just have to study hard and make progress every day, otherwise I will be sorry for the motherland, the people, and uncles and aunts.

In short, I have never had a good impression of such words.So, at that time, I didn't pay much attention to what monk Huizhi said to me.

It took me many years to understand the meaning of what Monk Huizhi said.It's just that when I really understood what I said, it was already so late.

Let's not talk about anything else, let's go back to the matter of inviting monk Huizhi to come out of the mountain!In the final analysis, the friendship between my master Zhushan old Taoist and monk Huizhi is there. Therefore, my master Zhushan old Taoist came to invite him in person, and then monk Huizhi wanted to save face no matter what.

After my master finished talking with monk Huizhi, monk Huizhi immediately went to tidy up, packed a bag with a piece of blue square cloth that was a bit gray, and put some wooden fish, Buddhist beads, etc. into it.

After installing the necessary things, the wise monk simply bowed in front of the Buddha statue in the lobby, then burned three sticks of incense, and recited a passage.After doing these things, the monk Huizhi, together with my master and me, embarked on the road back to Zhushan Temple.
