The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 22 0022, Compassion is for the golden cicada

In Daleiyin Temple, a monk in white robes stands in the courtyard.

He is the most proud disciple of the Buddha, and also the most influential disciple in the Great Leiyin Temple.On weekdays, when the Buddha goes out to give lectures, he presides over all affairs in Daleiyin Temple.

His white clothes are like snow, and his white eyebrows flutter, even though he has already converted to Buddhism.But he has never forgotten the mundane world, and he will always think of the past in the human world inadvertently.Daleiyin Temple has strict precepts, and anyone who leaves without permission will be expelled from Buddhism.No one in the Three Realms would dare to take him in if he was expelled from Buddhism.

He is a golden cicada, born to be merciful and compassionate to the world.

He walked towards the oncoming fellow disciples, all of whom had just returned from missions outside.The travel and dust is very tiring, it stands to reason that he should eat some vegetarian food early and rest.But Jin Chanzi stood in the courtyard for a long time, just waiting for them to come back.

This time the task in the lower realm was not heavy, Buddha went to Mount Emei to catch up with old friends, and asked several disciples to inspect the lower realm.Take a look at the situation of the major monasteries, and by the way, take a look at how today's pilgrims treat Buddhists.

While stuffing food into his mouth, the fat monk said to Jin Chanzi, "Old Jin, what are you doing here if you don't meditate well in the meditation room? You are not afraid of getting tanned in such a big sun."

The fat monk was pushed while speaking, and he turned his head to glance at the skinny monk who was as thin as a hemp stick.He was holding his breath all the way back. If the skinny monk hadn't acted recklessly, how could they have returned to West Paradise so quickly.But since the skinny monk bought him so many delicious food, the fat monk didn't intend to make a small report.

The thin monk signaled the fat monk and the two senior brothers to go first, and took Jin Chanzi to the side to talk.He is not a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, the first time he saw Jin Chanzi standing in the courtyard, he knew what was going on.The fat monk let him get rid of it with a few plain buns, but the one in front of him was not easy to deal with.

Jin Chanzi asked: "The reason why I didn't accuse you in front of them is that I have given you a lot of face. Don't you want to continue to hide it?"

The thin monk clasped his hands together, bowed to Jin Chanzi one after another, and kept repeating the same sentence. "Brother Jin, I was wrong, I will definitely not dare next time."

Jin Chanzi walked toward the main hall expressionlessly, and the skinny monk hurriedly grabbed his clothes.That's the meditation room of Master Jiansi, if you report the matter to Master Jiansi, the skinny monk will lose his skin if he doesn't die.

Jin Chanzi ignored his words at all, threw off his sleeves and walked towards Master Jiansi's meditation room.By chance, I ran into the uncle Jiansi who walked out of the meditation room after hearing the sound, an amiable bald head.While walking out the door, he was fiddling with his big bald head, smiling exactly like Maitreya Buddha.

Without waiting for the skinny monk to speak, Jin Chanzi told him what he had seen.According to the temple law of Daleiyin Temple, the skinny monk has to copy [-] scriptures and recite [-] scriptures.Be sure to complete within the specified time, otherwise the penalty will be doubled.The second time was still not completed according to the regulations, and he was expelled from Buddhism and never hired.

Regardless of any college or monastery in the Three Realms, their regulations are not as strict as the Buddhist temple law.Because Buddhism is a weathervane of the Three Realms, and it is the only existence among the Three Realms that can reach the Three Realms.If someone is kicked out of Buddhism, there will be no second place to take him in.

The great monk Jiansi smiled and smoothed things over for the skinny monk, hoping that Jin Chanzi could bypass him this time for his sake.After all, the skinny monk was a disciple of the great monk of Jiansi, and he was the most filial to him among all the disciples of the great monk.

People who have shortcomings must have advantages, and of course the same is true in Buddhism.Yamato is not aware of the shortcomings of the thin monk, but he has always been kind and generous, and never cares about temporary gains and losses with others.As long as he can do it, no matter how big mistakes the apprentices make, he can bear it.

Jin Chanzi smiled wryly, "Master, do you think I'm being aggressive?"

"Isn't it?" the thin monk whispered while hiding behind the big monk.

The great monk glared at him, smiled and said to Jin Chanzi: "Little Jin, my uncle knows that you are a good boy and a Buddhist disciple with a strong sense of justice. But temple laws are made by man, let alone those who are not outside the law. Call out favors. Since your junior brother is still young, let's bypass him this time."

Jin Chanzi looked at the great monk of Jiansi, and then at the skinny monk hiding behind him.With the big monk standing in front of him, the skinny monk had some courage now.Unlike the bowing and flattering with Jin Chanzi just now, now he doesn't like how he sees Jin Chanzi.

This stalemate is not an option, there are already many monks walking back and forth in the courtyard.Jin Chanzi sighed helplessly, clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to the great monk.Turning around and walking towards the outside of the temple, no one could understand his mood at this time.Whenever he was unhappy, he would sit outside the temple gate for a while.

The fat monk returned to the meditation room and saw a table of snacks and a note from Jin Chanzi.After reading it, the fat monk felt so guilty that he just sat there and watched the table of snacks without moving.Everyone said that he was stupid to death, only Jin Chanzi treated him better than others.

He is not stupid or stupid, he just doesn't like to use his brain.Things that can be simple can be made simple, and even complicated things can be made simple.The fat monk sat in the meditation room for an hour, finally picked up a piece of snack and threw it into his mouth, then put the note in his pocket and walked out of the meditation room.There are a few words he doesn't know, so he has to ask Jin Chanzi to clarify, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable.

When passing by the main hall, the fat monk met a thin monk who was cursing.This buddy looked at the fat monk gloatingly, and happily described how the golden cicada was deflated just now.

"You didn't see him just now, so what if he is the most proud disciple of the Buddha? The Buddha is not in the temple 360 ​​days a year, and my master has the final say most of the time. My master is fully authorized to act as my master's agent, and he, Jin Chanzi, must be obedient."

The fat monk didn't bother to pay attention to the skinny monk who was a villain, and walked towards the outside of the temple step by step.He wasn't sure where Jin Chanzi was just now, but he guessed it immediately after hearing what the skinny monk said.Since Jin Chanzi failed to teach the skinny monk a lesson, he must be under the big tree outside the temple gate.

Halfway through the walk, he suddenly felt sick to his stomach, and the fat monk ran to the hut amid the ridicule of the thin monk.Unexpectedly, there was someone next door to accompany him, and after asking, he found out that it was Master Jiansi.The master of the fat monk is neither the Buddha nor the uncle of the supervisor, but a very inconspicuous old monk in the temple.

He didn't know the old monk's name, but he only knew that the Buddha was very polite when he saw him.The reason why many people laughed at the fat monk was probably related to his becoming a disciple of the old monk.

The prisoner squatting next door asked: "Little Fatty, tell the truth to Master, did my apprentice in your lower realm do something out of the ordinary this time?"

The fat monk hesitated for a while, and explained: "No, uncle, you don't know your apprentice well, he has always been a three-good disciple in our monastery."

"Fart, I don't know what kind of virtue that kid is. What kind of three good disciples, there are no three good disciples from me. Let me tell you, fat, if you don't tell me the truth today, I will let you sleep in the woodshed tonight. And you won't leave a single piece of firewood, and let you sleep alone."

This is the trump card that the chief monk of the prison temple uses against Xiaopang, and only he, the prison temple, knows that Xiaopang is most afraid of sleeping alone at night.Even if the whole dormitory was snoring louder than thunder, he was able to sleep more and more soundly.If you let him sleep alone, the quieter he is, the less he dares to sleep.

The fat monk can only beg for mercy, his secret is known only to Master Jiansi and Jin Chanzi.That time he went down to work with Jin Chanzi, and he ran to Jin Chanzi's house in the middle of the night.Life and death refused to leave and insisted on sleeping with Jin Chanzi, but in the end Jin Chanzi just disagreed, so he told the truth.

The matter is very simple, at least in the eyes of the fat monk, it is not a big deal.They went to a pilgrim's house and saw a table full of tributes.The thin monkey wanted to go and enjoy it, and then bring something back to Xitian for the master.Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked over with his front foot, the back foot of the tribute table was knocked down by the owner.

Oh, of course it didn't knock him to the ground, but knocked a table of tributes to the ground.Now that the thin monkey is so angry, he will teach the owner of that house on the spot.Fortunately, the fat monk and his two senior brothers stopped him, and he didn't let the thin monkey trouble them until he left.

Later, when he returned to Xitian, the thin monkey begged Jin Chanzi for mercy, hoping that Jin Chanzi would let him go.But it is not difficult to see from Jin Chanzi's reaction that things don't seem to be that simple.

After thinking for a while, the fat monk said to the great monk of Jiansi before leaving the hut: "By the way, uncle, we had a meal at the noodle shop on the way. At that time, your apprentice said that he was going to buy some special products to take back. It took an hour to come back and join us."

The fat monk hummed a little song to find Jin Chanzi, and the great monk of Jiansi walked out of the hut and came to the gate of the temple.He followed the fat monk to the big tree outside the door, which was ten thousand years old.It takes more than [-] people to hug it, and the great monk of Jiansi is standing behind the big tree.

He only stayed outside the door for 10 minutes, and heard the fat monk apologize to Jin Chanzi.I heard Jin Chanzi talk about his helplessness, and I heard the fat monk talk about the arrogance of the thin monk.But after all, they never mentioned the great monk of Jiansi.Because they have always regarded the great monk of Jiansi as the elder, only as he is protecting the calf.

He knew what the skinny monk had done, but he didn't know whether he should go back and punish him.Because he had helped the skinny monk stop Jin Chanzi, if he went back to punish him now, wouldn't he slap himself in the face.But if there is no explanation for this matter, how can he hang around in Buddhism after it gets out.

After much deliberation, the great monk of Jiansi turned and walked into the monastery.He didn't go to the dormitory to look for the skinny monk, because he knew it would be useless even if he did.The skinny monk has already been determined, and he will still be like this for many years.In addition, he was also responsible for the matter. If he hadn't recommended the skinny monk to go with him at that time, such a thing would not have happened.

In fact, at noon that day, the thin monkey found an excuse and returned to the family while eating.He didn't directly cause harm to that family, but he used some means to make that family suffer from troubles for a long time to come.Either the family's business suffered a setback or the children were sick, and in the end it even affected the parents of the head of the household.

Buddhism takes compassion as its heart, monks take Purdue as their career, and chanting scriptures and Dharma is only for cultivation.But what can the great monk of Jiansi do? Even if he really punishes the skinny monk, can all this be changed?The answer is no, because he has also found many similar things.

Outside Leiyin Temple, the fat monk and Jin Chanzi sat side by side, looking at the sea of ​​clouds rushing in front of them.Inexplicably, he received a notice from the great monk of Jiansi Temple, asking him to pack up his things and leave Daleiyin Temple immediately.It is said that this was approved by the Buddha, and the notice did not specify what kind of task to perform, nor the time to return.

This means that Jin Chanzi was inexplicably exiled to the human world.
