Chapter 541 Jinfeng Temple

Chapter 540 Jinfeng Temple

When Xuanzang entered Jinfeng Temple, he chose to become the most ordinary monk.

From being famous in Luoyang before to now being unknown, there has been no disturbance in Xuanzang's heart.

After entering Jinfeng Temple, Xuanzang was accompanied by the ancient Buddha with blue lanterns every day, sweeping the floor and fetching water during the day, ringing the bell and chanting Buddha at night, living a poor life without joy or sorrow.

It's just that in Xuanzang's heart, the desire to ask for the truth is even stronger, undoubtedly unparalleled.

The calmer the expression on Xuanzang's face, the bigger and more turbulent the waves in his heart became.

It's just that under the turbulent waves in his heart, there is still a heart that is at a loss.

Xuanzang felt that if he didn't solve this matter in this life, besides regret, it would also lead to great disaster.

But now Xuanzang doesn't know how to solve it.

He has seen through the warmth and coldness of the world, and has mastered all the scriptures that can be seen in the Tang Dynasty. His exhaustion of Buddhism has reached a very high level, but even so, Xuanzang still feels empty in his heart.

One day, in Jinfeng Temple, Xuanzang was sitting cross-legged in meditation, silently reciting scriptures.

Behind the door, there was a slight sound, but Xuanzang didn't turn his head. From the sound of footsteps, he already knew who it was.

"Amitabha." A hoarse voice came, and an old monk, sitting cross-legged beside Xuanzang, softly chanted a Buddha's name.

Xuanzang didn't reply, just continued to knock on the wooden fish in front of him, with a calm expression.

"Xuanzang..." The old monk turned his head to look at Xuanzang kindly, and said softly, "Have you been in Jinfeng Temple for a year?"

"340 six days." Xuanzang tapped the wooden fish lightly, his tone calm.

"I remember so clearly, it can be seen that Master Xuanzang has a clear mind every day." The old monk said softly, then looked at the Buddha statue in front of him, and said softly: "Facing the ancient Buddha with the blue lamp every day, Master Xuanzang, can you What do you see clearly?"

"Amitabha." Xuanzang heard the words, and softly recited a Buddha's name, and then said: "Abbot, what's the matter, please speak clearly."

"My old monk has already heard about Master Xuanzang's previous deeds." The old abbot looked at Xuanzang and said with a soft smile, "Why is such an eminent monk willing to be an ordinary monk in Jinfeng Temple? ?”

"Buddhism is boundless, Xuanzang chose this way just to find the answer."

Regarding the thoughts in his heart, Xuanzang never thought of hiding anything from anyone.

But in fact, this old monk was the first person to see Xuanzang's mind.

Xuanzang's heart was like still water, and he kept silently chanting the Buddhist scriptures in his heart, allowing the emotions that had just fluctuated in his heart to be suppressed once again.

"The Buddha said, there is a world in a grain of sand, and a bodhi in a leaf. Master Xuanzang is sitting here empty, but how can he find the answer in his heart?" The old monk asked softly with a chuckle.

"The poor monk once traveled all over the land of the Tang Dynasty, looking for the answer, but nothing happened. He only saw the world wasted and had nothing to do."

"Where in this world of mortals can I find the ultimate answer."

Xuanzang still didn't look back, the old monk's words contained a trace of Zen principles, Xuanzang was so intelligent, how could he not see clearly.

But he didn't want to talk, if the old abbot really wanted to say something, he would naturally say it.

"Sand is the world, and leaves are Bodhi. Master Xuanzang is looking for the answer in this small Tang Dynasty. Don't you think it's a little wrong?"

When Xuanzang heard the words, he smiled slightly and did not speak. He recited the scriptures in his heart again, and suppressed the emotions that had just surged.

"Master Xuanzang, what I just said is just some superficial opinions of this old monk." The old monk looked at Xuanzang and said softly, "Master Xuanzang is such an eminent monk, but he didn't want to spend the rest of his life in my Jinfeng Temple, right? "

"Amitabha." Xuanzang softly recited a Buddha's name, and then he finally turned his head, looked at the old abbot beside him, and said softly, "Abbot, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Hahaha." The old monk laughed suddenly when he heard the words, and said, "Master Xuanzang, you are proficient in Buddhism and understand the principles of Buddhism. The old monk's words have come to this point, but the master asked the old monk what he wanted to say?"

"Master Xuanzang, I'm afraid you already have the answer in your heart, but you don't even want to believe the truth of the answer!"

Xuanzang was startled when he heard the words, and his mood fluctuated. Xuanzang recited scriptures silently in his heart again, trying to forcefully suppress the unrest in his heart, but no matter how silently he recited, he couldn't suppress it.

His eyes were piercing, as if he had seen the light of hope, and this desire appeared in Xuanzang's heart, immediately burning his spirits.

"Abbot...you..."

Xuanzang completely messed up the appearance of the Dharma, and the old monk's few words aroused the strongest desire in his heart, which was to fill the gap in the Dharma...

"Hahahaha..." The old monk looked at Xuanzang, laughed loudly, and said, "Master Xuanzang, at this time, you should take care of yourself!"

"You need to know that there are people beyond people, mountains beyond mountains, and beyond this realm, there are realms!"

"There is no fruit under the Bodhi tree. Why do you love the past in the world of mortals? The Buddha nature is always pure, where is there dust! The body is a Bodhi tree, and the heart is a mirror stand."

"Xuanzang, Xuanzang, hahaha..."

After finishing speaking, the old monk stood up straight, waved his hand, and his figure disappeared from Xuanzang in an instant.

Afterwards, not only the old monk, but the house where Xuanzang was staying also instantly turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace.

Afterwards, the entire Jinfeng Temple completely disappeared from Xuanzang's eyes, including the monks living in this temple, the temples, halls, Buddha statues, etc. within the temple, all turned into fly ash in an instant.

After a while, everything disappeared. Xuanzang was surprised to find that he was standing in the wilderness at this moment, and the Jinfeng Temple, where he had lived for nearly a year, had completely disappeared.

Xuanzang was stunned for a while, he didn't understand why such a thing happened before him, at this moment, he was completely bewildered.

Xuanzang's mind was filled with the maddened voice of the old monk before. All these seemed to be illusory, but they really appeared in his heart.

Xuanzang lowered his head and looked at his clothes, only to find that what he was wearing was not rough servant clothes, but rough cloth clothes that had been patched.

In a trance, Xuanzang felt a little dazed in his heart. Everything he experienced before seemed to be completely illusory, and it seemed to be completely real, which made him unable to distinguish at all.

After a long meeting, Xuanzang stood up, surrounded by darkness, he couldn't tell the way ahead at all.

With his mind in chaos, Xuanzang groped in the dark and found a way down the mountain.

The road was very bumpy. After stumbling along the way, I saw the bright lights in front of me.
