Chapter 103 Concession (Part 1)
Lu Feng had to focus on this aspect to eliminate his "big head". His six-character Great Ming Mantra and the five-digit transformation that appeared around him Serious and eminent monks, both ordinary and large, recited mantras for him to increase his wisdom and blessings, and helped him increase his wisdom and digest those tomes with great wisdom and compassion.
If you want to practice diligently and become the deity, blessings and blessings are indispensable. Worldly wealth and Buddhist connections, blessings of wisdom and compassion are all indispensable. , so many monks were unable to collect the property for large donations and were forced to spend a lot of time collecting these materials. Naturally, there is another way, that is, other monks help them collect these materials, not only those of the sixth level. This is true for monks, even if they go to Zhaju monastery to obtain the fifth-level "good knowledge" degree.
——If you don’t make a “big donation”, you have to work as an errand at Zhaju Monastery, pay rent for the house at Zhaju Monastery College, take on many chores, and want to get the fifth level of “good deeds”. A degree in "knowledge" is the same as obtaining a "sixth level of good knowledge".
You have to study, pass the debate with other monks under the eyes of many monks in the temple, and then pass the assessment of the great monks in the temple, and finally make a "big donation", and then you can get the degree. .
Although Lu Feng did not know the specific amount of a "big donation", the amount of money given was directly proportional to the number of monks. If calculated based on the number of monks in Zhaju Temple, it would probably be considered the lowest level of charity - referring to It's highland barley porridge and a few copper coins. I'm afraid even two thousand taels of silver can't stop it.
At this moment, Lu Feng had never had two thousand taels of silver.
Lu Feng clasped his hands together and turned his anxious heart into pieces while spinning the prayer wheel, knowing that he could not be anxious.
He carefully divided his time into several parts, and carried out eating, daily life, and cross-legged practice according to his divided time.
The pads of his fingers turned slightly on the Kabala beads, and every time they turned on a specific Kabala beads, there would be a slight pause. The belly of his fingers seemed to turn into gold, and the golden liquid was poured into it to warm and nourish the injured senior monk Li Jui. After a short time, the injured senior monk Li Jui could calmly appear.
Lu Feng was in the "official residence" of Elder Mingli, but he had not seen his master, Elder Mingli, for a long time. It seemed that he had not appeared in the "official residence" for a long time. He did not know where he had gone. Instead, he was in the official residence of Elder Mingli. Lu Feng became familiar with these monks.
After their introduction, Lu Feng gained some knowledge about the inside of the temple.
Elder Mingli still has some respect in the temple. The entire temple can be roughly divided into three parts, namely those from the families of the clan nobles, those from the noble chieftains’ families, and those who preside over their own families. The presiding lord who comes from the chieftain nobles, or the presiding lord who comes from the ancestral nobles, also has his own team, and has no way to depend on the chieftain or the ancestral nobles. He is considered a person in the temple.
They are not only dependent on the presiding venerable of each generation, but the presiding venerable of each generation will also rely on them to suppress the forces of the other two families. Among them, Elder Mingli belongs to the temple and is also the presiding officer. Monk here. The elders who asked him to come over could not force such a great monk who practiced the "King Mingzhu Dharma Protector" to speak for no reason.
As for the monks and attendant monks who came with Elder Mingli, they were all taken to the abandoned watchtower in the back mountain by the monastic leader, Mingzhi, and imprisoned in them, so that no one could touch them.
Even Elder Mingli's only disciple had no intention of leaving Mingli's "official residence" and never communicated with anyone. As a result, the atmosphere became strangely harmonious again. Lu Feng bathed every morning, practiced Mahamudra, and often imagined himself The rhyme of compassion was like a cup of water. Every day, he picked up this glass of water with both hands and poured it on the top of his head, washing away all the filth and "uncleanness" on his body.
He must suppress the Dragon Sutra from time to time, otherwise, if the evil spirit of the "Witch Cult" words in the Dragon Sutra suppresses the Buddha nature in his body, he may suffer from Buddha The sex was shattered and turned into an alien god, Li Wei. Lu Feng felt that this might not be wrong. A good thing does not turn into a bad thing, but it is the price Lu Feng wants to do. If Lu Feng himself got the "Dragon Scripture" brought by the Ganing family without any damage, he should be uneasy at this time. Even so, Lu Feng always checked to see that he had not forgotten one thing.
Zhiyuan and the two monks Zhi'an who had transformed into Ligui told Lu Feng that Ganing Manor should have two guardian gods. One is the spirit Ligui transformed by the housekeeper, which is the old man. Saridun, this Lu Feng has I have seen him before, and there is another Li Jue spirit, a loyal guard of the Ganing family. However, Lu Feng has never seen this Li Jue. He doesn’t know if he was involved in this disaster. , also turned into Li Wei.
However, Lu Feng reasonably suspected that he and his young master Ganing went to Zhaju Monastery along with the monk from Zhaju Monastery. If this was the case, he would have promised the monk. Those who make an oath should be like the six-character mantra carved on stone, which will never move. ’
They should fulfill all the oaths they made to the great sun in the esoteric realm as they did in the past.
Having said that, it is obvious that with Lu Feng's current status, even if he possesses such a principle, he cannot use this as an excuse to force a disciple of a great monk to realize it - with Master Ganing's method, he His eldest son should have also passed the sixth-level monk examination. After all, the sixth-level monk examination is not so strict. It is not until the third-level examination or above that it is said that the temple should be the "original temple of all dharma". "The great monks and great witches specially sent out will monitor and do not allow cheating. There should be unique ways to pass the rest of the exams.
Lu Feng even suspected that after some time, the monk of the Ganing family would be a fifth-level monk, and his status would be even higher. He would find a high-ranking person in the temple. The monk in red gave him the initiation, and Lu Feng was helpless.
So, Lu Feng temporarily suppressed this matter under his lotus platform of compassion, but he was not allowed to forget that if there was a chance, this matter would be like a low shrub growing out of the Gobi Desert, from under the lotus platform. It grows out and grows into one piece. If there is no chance, Lu Feng will crush it directly and leave nothing behind.
In this way, Lu Feng's life is like being under "house arrest". He can only walk in Elder Mingli's "official residence" and practice. If he needs anything, he will tell the attendant monk in the "official residence", please It seems very inconvenient for them to help themselves.
But Lu Feng is very satisfied with this and has no complaints. There is food and drink here, and there is no danger. For Lu Feng, the safety and stability here are more than what he is studying in the classics. His appearance as a monk seemed to have surpassed his days at Ganing Manor. It would be great if he could continue to study here.
Every morning, when the sun just came out, Lu Feng would slide his hands on the ground alone. The words in his mind that made him choke and hurt were gradually deciphered and analyzed by him. Lu Feng also asked I asked if there was a Sanskrit teacher in the temple, and was told that Master Zhiyun in the temple was one of the eminent monks who studied Sanskrit. Zhi Lufeng couldn't find it now, so he couldn't find this old acquaintance, but fortunately these days , the connection between him and his secret identity "Fudo Myoou" becomes more and more clear.
The "clear water" transformed with the charm of compassion washed out the "Fudo Ming Wang Zun" buried in the "impurity". Only then could Lu Feng continue to recite the mantra and bless many magic mantras. On his own body, and Lu Feng never thought that after two or three days, he also received a lot of highland barley, butter, and tea leaves. Lu Feng inquired about it and learned that it was his salary as a monk.
Lu Feng: "I am still a monk official?" He did not expect that the monk official status arranged for him by Elder Mingli could already receive a salary even if he had not even attended class for a day. Feng couldn't help but praise him again, but such good days came to an end not long after.
It was midnight, and Lu Feng was practicing the "Secret Mantra of the Immovable King", but unexpectedly he was called out by Elder Mingli, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Elder Mingli seemed to be in a hurry, so he pulled Lu Feng and said, "Follow me."
Lu Feng didn't react at the moment, but seeing Elder Mingli's appearance, he still followed Elder Mingli and walked out. It wasn't until he got outside that Lu Feng realized that the host was back.
He wants to see Lu Feng!
......
The big snow top of the snow mountain is still shining brightly. In the dark night, this big snow top is so white that it almost doesn’t look like it is in reality. The cold wind is like a knife, and the distance is When the heavy snow falls, it won't take long. At that time, the entire Abu Qu Prefecture will fall under a blanket of white snow and turn into an ice hell. For those serfs, this season should be the time when the Buddha suppressed them. Hell, he looked up slightly.
For serfs, there is no big difference between this hell and the blue-white hell and the red-lotus hell.
Walking at night, Lu Feng and the elder Mingli in front of him exhaled immeasurable white air from their mouths and noses. The two monks did not need to wear heavy clothes here, they just walked hard without saying a word and were sensible. The elder was like this, and so was Lu Feng. The moment Lu Feng walked out of Elder Mingli's "official residence", he had already noticed something was wrong.
The entire Endless White Pagoda Temple at night seemed to have fallen into a silent mandala, with no sound coming out. Even the iron rod that Elder Mingli often held was in his hand at this moment. , no more knocking.
While Zhi Lu Feng was walking, he saw many monks in red clothes carrying torches coming in and out. Even those monk soldiers who only practiced martial arts and did not chant sutras were behind the master in red, holding torches. Knowing what was going on, Lu Feng watched for a while and knew that something must have happened inside the temple. The result was not what Lu Feng expected. Outside the watchtower where they were going, Lu Feng saw Elder Mingzhi.
The great monk master of the Discipline Academy was wearing his armor-like robes and hanging a string of opal, red and green agate and beeswax Buddha strings. When he saw them, he knew that the elder He glanced at them, moved out of the way and said, "Go in, the host is waiting for you inside."
There was no one on the first floor, so Elder Mingli took Lu Feng to the second floor. The person sitting on the second floor of this watchtower should be the person in charge.
The two went upstairs.
Promise and worship the presiding venerable one.
It was also the first time for Lu Feng to see the real master of the Endless White Pagoda Temple, the presiding venerable of the Endless White Pagoda Temple. Before they met, Lu Feng originally thought that the presiding elder should be as pampered and pampered as Elder Mingfa. Even if he was not, there should be an irresistible aura in Elder Mingzhi.
But when he saw it for the first time, Lu Feng thought that the presiding venerable was a herdsman from somewhere, sitting on the throne. He was extremely dark, his face was full of wrinkles, and his back was hunched over. He looked like a serf who was used to doing heavy work, or like an old monk who was constantly doing heavy work.
Especially his teeth. When he opened his mouth, a few of his teeth were missing. Just after entering, even in the cloying Buddhist fragrance, Lu Feng could smell the strong smell of decay, but not from the host. The presiding venerable also smelled this smell coming from the person, but he never looked for it. As the presiding venerable, there were not as many attendant monks around him as Elder Mingzhi and Elder Mingli. There was only one monk standing, responding. It is his housekeeper monk.
The housekeeper monk was standing with a pen in his hand, recording something.
The presiding venerable is sitting on the two-story throne of the Endless White Pagoda Temple. Behind him, there should be a pair of thangkas. It is not made of leather. It is carried by fine paper. Lu Feng had never seen this kind of paper before, but when he saw this thangka, he knew that the deity in this thangka was the "Great Sun Tathagata". Next to the Great Sun Tathagata, stood many Taras, who were amiable and presided over The Venerable saw Lu Feng and said to Lu Feng: "Are you Yongzhen?"
Lu Feng bowed in obeisance and said: "Yes, Venerable presiding officer."
The Venerable presiding officer listened. When he said this, he nodded and said: "Okay, Yongzhen, you must not hide everything you saw at Ganing Manor, and tell me every bit."
After finishing speaking, the presiding venerable closed his eyes, and Lu Feng told the presiding venerable everything in detail, from when he first entered, when he saw the strange face, to when he studied sutras with Master Long Gen, to Knowing the secret of breaking the oath, then to the "Wheel of Reincarnation from Death", and finally to the Dragon Sutra in his own shadow...
The host had his eyes closed the whole time, as if listening, until Lu Feng couldn't help but After finishing speaking, the presiding master walked down from the throne, reached out and took out the Dragon Scripture from Lu Feng's shadow. Without even looking at the Dragon Scripture, he handed it to Lu Feng and said : "You learn 'witchcraft' writing and grammar, and you also want to obtain the fifth-level 'good knowledge' degree."
Lu Feng said: "Returning to the words of the host, yes, I want to You have to learn.”
The host nodded repeatedly and said, “If you want to learn, how about I find another teacher for you?”
