Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 657 Huiyuan
It seems that the matter of the Bodhisattva's appearance has become a bit big.

Soon the Bodhisattva in this treasure hall was crowded with pilgrims, and Li Xiuyuan didn't even dare to stay here anymore, so he hurriedly left the side of the Bodhisattva statue, and retreated to the side with his friends, not disturbing these pilgrims who were almost fanatically worshiping .

It's just that it is not known how many of these pilgrims sincerely worship the Buddha.

What Li Xiuyuan said just now can only wake up some people, but it is impossible to wake up everyone. He didn't force it, he just followed the fate.

When others ask questions with an open mind, you should answer them without hesitation.

A group of people managed to squeeze out from the crowd.

Zhu Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead almost in a state of exhaustion: "When the Bodhisattva appears, the pilgrims here seem to be crazy. It's really scary."

Li Xiuyuan said: "Yes, it is precisely because of this that once ghosts pretend to be gods and Buddhas to instigate the people, it will be a very harmful thing. Many people still lack the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and they need to be knowledgeable and virtuous. Only those who can guide can do it, here is still for those who

Pilgrim, let's go to other places to play, what happened just now is a farce. "

He vaguely saw that Fang Shengyu and his wife were still kneeling in front of the statue of the Bodhisattva and bowed down. It could be seen that what happened just now did not give them much warning.

After all, you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

"It's really a strange thing today. I have another story to write in my miscellaneous notes." Zhang Bangchang laughed.

However, there was something wrong with the way he looked at Li Xiuyuan, with a bit of respect.

Even the Bodhisattva listened to some of his teachings, even the Bodhisattva bowed his head to pay respects once he bent down to offer incense.

Such a character is absolutely extraordinary.

No wonder he was able to quell the turmoil of the Nine Mountain King, and was recognized by the court as the governor of Yangzhou.

"Haha, Brother Li, look, the sheep you bought with ten taels of silver is still with you, and it didn't get lost just now. It seems that this sheep has been enlightened by the Bodhisattva and is determined to ask you to repay your kindness." .” Qian Jun, who was on the side, saw that the one-horned goat was still following Li Xiuyuan, and he didn’t leave even an inch.
, couldn't help laughing.

Li Xiuyuan glanced back and said with a smile; "It seems that it is also spiritual. I know that I saved it and avoided the danger of being slaughtered by business."

"Amitabha, what this benefactor said is true. This sheep is indeed very spiritual, but the poor monk saw that the benefactor offered incense to the Bodhisattva just now. It must be a great blessing for the benefactor to get a response from the Bodhisattva. people." An old monk came over, clasped his hands together and saluted

Road.

"I have met Master Huiyuan." Zhang Bangchang and Qian Jun hurriedly returned their salutes, obviously they knew this eminent monk from Xiangguo Temple.

Master Huiyuan smiled and said, "The two benefactors are polite."

Li Xiuyuan also gave a salute and said: "Master has praised me, I am just an ordinary person, how can I have any wisdom roots, please forgive me if my remarks just now offend much."

His previous words seemed to many people to disrespect Buddha.

Saying this in Buddhism will arouse the resentment of some pilgrims and even monks.

But this Master Huiyuan laughed and said: "What the almsgiver said just now is very reasonable. The original intention of the Buddha is not to make people worship and worship, but to persuade people to do good. Worshiping and worshiping the Buddha is just a form. People need to pass This way to arouse the good thoughts in the heart, thus contaminating a bit of Buddha nature,
Possess the compassion of a Bodhisattva. "

"Does Master agree with me?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"The words of the almsgiver reveal the wisdom of the Buddha everywhere. How can the poor monk disagree? And isn't it the best proof that the bodhisattva appeared and worshiped the almsman just now? Even the bodhisattva is listening to the almsgiver's truth. Go against it?" Master Huiyuan said.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Master can understand."

Being able to understand what he said shows that this master Huiyuan is also a wise monk. If he can't understand and reprimands him, he is just a layman in cassock. He is not willing to communicate and talk with such a person.

"I don't know whether the benefactors came to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha today? Or to listen to Master Shikong's lecture?" Don't dare to neglect, if you burn incense and worship Buddha, you can go to the back mountain to pay homage, poor monks can

Let the disciples in the temple lead several donors to go. "

"We are here to listen to Master Shikong's lecture." Li Xiuyuan said.

Master Huiyuan smiled and said, "It's not the time for the senior brother of the poor monk to open the altar to give lectures. If the donors don't mind, you can go to the meditation room to drink tea and rest for a while, and wait for the senior brother of the poor monk to open the altar and lecture The poor monk will ask the disciples in the temple to inform several benefactors."

"In this way, there will be Master Lao." Li Xiuyuan saluted back.

"It's good, good, it's a blessing for the poor monk that Xiangguo Temple can entertain such distinguished guests as the benefactor." Master Huiyuan clasped his hands together.

Soon, Master Huiyuan sent Li Xiuyuan and the others to the monastery, and then said goodbye.

Zhang Bangchang said with a smile: "It's very rare for an eminent monk like Master Huiyuan to entertain us in person. Usually, high-ranking officials from the imperial court come to visit us. If there is an inconvenient time, Master Huiyuan will not be there. Today is the time to ask Thanks to Brother Li, I am honored to be gifted by Master Huiyuan.

Wait, if this is said, it will be a very glorious thing. "

"Maybe it's not because of Brother Li's face, maybe Master Huiyuan got the guidance of the Bodhisattva." Qian Jun said with a smile; Brother ran to Xiangguo Temple to stay in order to avoid his shrewd wife at home, so he should still be here

, why don't we go find him? "

"The reminder is right, I almost forgot that Brother Gao is still in Xiangguo Temple, let's go and look for him together, go look for him together." Qian Jun said.

Zhu Yu said: "Why don't you go to the back mountain to pay homage to the Buddhist temples while you're looking for people? Don't forget that we specially brought Brother Li to visit in order to thank Brother Li for his kindness that day."

"Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot Brother Li again." Zhang Bangchang patted his forehead and laughed at himself.

Several people were talking and laughing, and they were in a good mood, so they started to play in Xiangguo Temple.

But when he was playing, Li Xiuyuan was always followed by a sheep.

The goat really followed wherever he went, he didn't worry about being scared away, and he didn't need special instructions.

It's hard to believe that this sheep was still running wildly around the gate of Xiangguo Temple before, almost hurting the pilgrims.

Li Xiuyuan has been observing the sheep secretly, and even used the divine eye technique to investigate, but he didn't see anything weird, and there was no evil spirit on his body, let alone any trace of cultivation.

Under such circumstances, it stands to reason that this sheep should not have such spirituality.

"My journey of cultivation is still very short. Although I have learned a lot of spells, I am not as good as the seniors and juniors in the mountain gate in terms of some knowledge of cultivation. Maybe I can ask Master Shikong about it. Ask." Li Xiuyuan secretly said.

It is very worrying to have such a spiritual goat around all the time.

Don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

He had offended Wutongjiao and Ghost Foreman in the capital just now, even the national teacher had a grudge, and he needed to be careful when encountering some unreasonable things.

And when Li Xiuyuan was playing.

The previous master Huiyuan came to a quiet meditation room, clasped his hands together and said, "Brother, can you wake up in meditation?"

"Is it Huiyuan? Come in, you must have something to do when you come to look for me at this moment, if there is nothing to do, you will not come to disturb me, just now when I was in meditation, my wisdom eyes suddenly saw the light of a Bodhisattva in the sky above the treasure hall in the temple In a flash, my nose smelled a wave of sandalwood. Is there another Bodhisattva in the temple?
Did it manifest?I don't know which Bodhisattva is visiting? "

Sitting cross-legged on the futon in the meditation room is a monk in cassock with white eyebrows and beard.

Although he looked old, he was full of vigor, and his voice didn't look old at all.

Master Huiyuan opened the door and entered, gave a salute and said, "You can't hide anything from senior brother. There is indeed a Bodhisattva in Shicai Palace. It's the statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva who has a vision. It's like this."

As he spoke, he recounted what he had seen and heard just now.

When Li Xiuyuan said that the existence of Buddha is to persuade people to be good, not to covet the world to worship, Master Shikong opened his eyes and showed a look of approval.

Finally, when he heard the world's greed being imposed on Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, he couldn't help but sang the Buddha's name again: "It's so good, there are people who know the Buddha's will in the world of mortals. If the donor has such wisdom, if he doesn't It's a pity to go to the temple to practice, the poor monk's time in the world is running out

, if he can finally teach such a person, then the poor monk can leave with peace of mind. "

"Brother, did you think of accepting disciples? But that benefactor is not an ordinary person. I just saw that benefactor bent down to offer incense to the Bodhisattva after he finished speaking, and the statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva came alive. Come over and pay respects to him, in return." Master Huiyuan said.

Master Shikong was a little surprised and said, "The Bodhisattva's manifestation is because of this?"

"Really."

Master Shi Kong sighed: "Sins, sins, how can a poor monk who is courteous to Bodhisattvas have such virtues to teach him? I don't know the name of that benefactor? A poor monk who is respected by even Bodhisattvas can't do it." You should recite the scriptures nine times for him, and give back as a small gesture of gratitude."

"The young master's surname is Li. I don't know the exact name. I only know that he is not known in the capital. He seems to be a scholar from the south. But this is not the time to go to Beijing for the exam."

Master Huiyuan said: "If senior brother doesn't mind, then junior brother can go and calculate one or two."

The last name is Li?

From the South?

Immediately, Master Shikong's face moved slightly, as if he had remembered something, and saw that his junior brother was about to use Buddhist supernatural powers to count that person's heels, so he immediately stopped him and said: "Junior brother, no, this person is deceived by heaven and ghosts I guess, anyone who knows the magic will be condemned by God if he tries to calculate it forcefully.
Could it be that you have practiced for a year and now want to attract thunder? "

"What? How could this happen?" Master Huiyuan was frightened and hurriedly withdrew his magical powers.

Mere calculations will lead to divine punishment. Isn't this more difficult to figure out than the emperor's luck?

"Amitabha, the poor monk should have thought about it a long time ago, and the saint in the south should have come to the capital, but the poor monk was one step ahead of casting the spell, and he just delayed for a while." Master Shikong said.

"The sage in the south? That person is the Li Xiuyuan mentioned by the senior brother, Li sage?" Huiyuan asked in surprise.

Rao's xinxing, which has been practiced for many years, has also experienced waves.

Master Shikong said: "It should be that he can't be wrong, but the poor monk is not sure, but it is almost the same, and only he can make the Bodhisattva return the salute."

"Senior brother is right." Hui Yuan calmed down and said.

"Since this Saint Li is here, how can the poor monk not entertain him personally? Please ask my junior brother to call Bai Yun here." Master Shikong said.

"Yes, brother."

Master Shikong is going to entertain Li Xiuyuan with his apprentice Baiyun.

Originally, due to his position in the temple, except for the necessary donations and lectures, he could not meet anyone, unless the emperor came in person, he would show up as a last resort.

But Li Xiuyuan was different.

The order of the world will change because of him, the fate of ghosts and gods in the world will change because of him, the situation of the world and the future are all in his mind.

With such a great influence, which practitioner doesn't mind?
In any case, this necessary courtesy is indispensable.

But at this time.

In a courtyard of the Buddhist monastery, Qian Jun, Zhang Bangchang, Li Xiuyuan and others found Gao Fan who was staying in the temple because he was avoiding his shrewd wife.

Gao Fan was sitting alone on the steps of the courtyard, drinking the wine he got from someone who didn't know where, looking like he was using wine to drown his sorrows.

"Brother Gao, what's the matter with you, have you become so decadent after not seeing you for two or three days?" Zhang Bangchang was shocked.

"It's all of you here, I'm being polite." Gao Fan stood up drunk and gave a salute, but fell down because he couldn't stand still, and then shook his head with his head down: "I'm afraid in my heart. My wife is already sending servants to find out my whereabouts, I'm afraid it will be here soon

I can't be clean anymore, now I really don't know what to do? "

"Even the pure place of Buddhism can't make me pure. It's better to get drunk."

He had no way to go against the virtues in his heart and divorce that fierce wife, he could only avoid it, but if he couldn't avoid it, he could only get drunk, and he didn't think about anything, it was only a moment to get a moment of tranquility.

Seeing him like this, Li Xiuyuan was amused, but also admirable.

These days, there are really not many people who can stick to the bottom line of their hearts without wavering. It's not that he can't get rid of the trouble of his fierce wife, but he can't pass the barrier in his heart.

"Brother Gao, you can't escape like this. Why don't you let me be a peacemaker for you to see if I can persuade your fierce wife? It's not a way to go on like this. I don't think there can be such a stubborn woman in this world. Such a person really wants to treat her husband so badly." Li Xiuyuan thought for a while.
I decided to help this Gao Fan.

Not because he is pitiful, but because his character is worthy of his praise.

"Brother Li, you can't solve this matter." Gao Fan shook his head in disappointment.

Zhang Bangchang next to him said, "Brother Gao, you saw what happened in the restaurant last time. Brother Li has the ability to catch ghosts and exterminate demons, and maybe he also has the ability to persuade people to change their ways? You have been troubled by your fierce wife." For a long time, why don't you let brother Li try? Even if you don't try, your wife will find you soon

Coming here, going on like this is not a long-term solution. "

"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Li has special skills worth trying." Qian Jun also said.

Zhu Yu also persuaded.

They all believed in Li Xiuyuan very much, and felt that he had the ability to resolve their grievances.

This kind of belief is almost blind, which is not what a rational person should have, but knowing this is different in Li Xiuyuan's body.

This is probably the charm.

"Then try." Gao Fan hesitated for a while after hearing the persuasion from the crowd, before replying cautiously.

"That's right, if you don't try, how do you know that your matter can't be resolved? You and I are good friends, how can I bear to see you suffer like this." Zhang Bangchang said.

Gao Fan was very grateful and said: "If this is done, I will never forget the great kindness of you guys."

Zhang Bangchang said with a smile: "It's not me that you want to thank, but Brother Li. He is a person with real skills. We just want to say a few more words."

Li Xiuyuan felt a little embarrassed at the moment.

I was just trying to help, but I didn't expect them to believe in my ability so much. Speaking of this family relationship, even the gods can't figure it out. How can he be absolutely sure, and it's not to kill evil spirits.

If he killed some evil spirits and monsters, then he must be full of confidence.

However, since the words have been spoken, they cannot be taken back. He also wants to see how the fierce wife of the Great Song Dynasty behaves. Today, he will see and see.
