Chapter 263: Worshiping Buddha
Look, the awareness of practicing Buddhism is high, and a Buddhist bead is not cheap. People don’t care. Liu Jun would have felt bad for it, and he could exchange it for hundreds of drawers of steamed buns.
After thinking for a while, Liu Jun decided to tell the awakening monk the purpose of his visit.
If there is really a problem with the Awakening Monk, no matter what purpose Liu Jun came here, it has been exposed. If there is no problem, it is equivalent to having an extra helper, why not do it.
"Master Awakening, I am indeed here to investigate Lanruo Temple. I just don't know where to start, so I just want to come and take a look first." As soon as Liu Jung finished speaking, a young novice monk ran over from a distance and shouted "Uncle Awakening"
"Fellow Taoist, be careful of the four masters of Kongming, Kongjing, Kongyuan and Kongcheng in Lanruo Temple. It's not convenient to say more here. Taoist friends must be more careful."
Then the awakened monk turned around and walked a few steps quickly. He stopped the little novice monk, said something, and then walked away together.
"Kongming, Kongjing, Kongyuan, Kongcheng, interesting. The awakened monk asked me to be careful, which shows that these four mages are also afraid of the awakened monk." Liu Jun smiled slightly, and the soldiers came to cover the water and earth. What are you afraid of? The worst case scenario is that you can directly summon the Shura clan and demolish the monks and the temple together.
Walking into the temple, countless faithful men and women were offering incense, chanting sutras, and praying for the blessings of the Buddha and Bodhisattva. Liu Jun felt that this should just be a kind of inner comfort. With so many people asking for blessings, the Buddha was too busy.
There is no dress code in domestic temples, so there are many young and beautiful female pilgrims, all dressed up. Those who know it know that they come to offer incense and pray to Buddha. Those who don’t know think they are attending a blind date conference. Look at the people around Monks, many monks stared at these female pilgrims with eager eyes.
Various incense sticks were inserted into the huge tripod, and wisps of smoke surrounded it and floated into the sky.
Bypassing the Main Hall, Liu Jun kept walking back. The further he walked, the fewer pilgrims there were. Many people burned incense and worshiped Buddha in the front, and almost no one came from the back.
At this time, Liu Jun saw an old monk. The old monk had kind eyes and kind eyes. He was smiling slightly. He was wearing a yellow robe and a string of Buddhist beads around his neck. He looked like an ordinary monk. He looked like an eminent monk. appearance.
A few pilgrims passed by and they all affectionately called the old monk Master Kongming.
Liu Jun remembered the words of the great monk Awakening, and looked at Master Kongming carefully. He was obviously a Buddhist master, but there was a trace of black energy around him. He said there was no problem, but Liu Jun didn't believe it. After another look, it turned out that there was no problem. As charitable as just now.
Master Kongming also saw Liu Jun and smiled indifferently. At this time, a middle-aged woman grabbed Master Kongming's clothes and shouted loudly: "Monk, give me back my daughter. My daughter came to your temple once, and then she Missing, you give me back my daughter.”
Master Kongming was grabbed by his collar, and he didn’t panic at all. He still looked indifferent, as if he was not the one who was caught. Master Kongming was holding the monk’s hands, using He said in a very soft tone: "Donor, your daughter has been to this temple, but she was not lost there. The monks on duty will patrol the entire temple before seven o'clock in the evening to prevent pilgrims from staying and having nowhere to stay. After the inspection, the door of the temple will be closed and no one will be allowed to enter or exit. Therefore, your daughter may be playful or have some conflicts with you, so she can't help you, Amitabha. You all have no choice but to chant sutras and pray that I, the Buddha, will bless the benefactor and your daughter, please come back.”
Before the middle-aged woman could speak, a young man next to her, who must be a relative, punched the air. Master Ming, look at this strength, this young man has obviously practiced.
However, although Master Kongming looked old, his reaction speed was not slow at all. He stretched out his hand to block the attack, turned his hand into a claw shape, and clasped the young man's fist.
"Expert" Liu Jun's pupils shrank. This Kongming Mage struck very quickly and with just the right amount of force. He would not injure the young man, but also make the opponent suffer from pain and unable to move.
The young man couldn't move and began to roar: "Monk, give me back my sister. My sister heard that you had a strange phenomenon from the sky and the ancient bell chimed without striking. She thought it was the Buddha appearing and went to your shabby temple to worship the Buddha. Who knew this prayer? , there is no news at all, you monster monks, Buddhist scum, give back my sister"
At this time, the monks from the temple also rushed over. Master Kongming took a look, opened the young man's hand, and pushed it gently. The young man felt a huge force coming from his arm. He couldn't help but take a few steps back, and was caught by other monks who came over.
I saw Master Kongming clasping his hands together, and his tone was still so calm, without a trace of anger, as if nothing happened just now.
"This benefactor, the Pure Land of Buddhism, please don't make any noise. You can pay homage to the Buddha. Sincerity will lead to spiritual success. Wherever you are sincere, gold and stone will be opened. I believe that the Buddha will definitely keep your sister safe and sound. Please hurry up." Come back. Donor, please meditate."
In this way, the middle-aged women and young men were taken away by the monks. Master Kongming was also there with his eyes closed, chanting sutras and chanting Buddha, and it seemed that he was really praying for the missing people. The girl prays. Liu Jun took a look and realized that the old monk was probably thinking blindly. He could not catch up with him, but he was sincere and spiritual. He walked to the Buddha statue, worshiped, and murmured: "Buddha, I am a Taoist disciple, and everyone has come to worship you." , you see I am so sincere, please bless me and give me more money. If it is too much, I will not despise it. If it is too little, I will worry about you. Even 1.8 million is fine.”
"Donor, donor" Liu Jun turned around and saw a monk with a fat head, big ears and a shiny face next to him. He looked at Liu Jun with a smile on his face.
"What are you doing?" Liu Jun was very unhappy when he was interrupted from worshiping Buddha, as if he had lost millions.
"Well, donor, this is Buddha, not the God of Wealth. You can't ask for money."
Hearing this, Liu Jun rolled his eyes: "According to what you mean, If you want to pray for wealth, pray to the God of Wealth, pray for peace and longevity, pray to the three-star old man, pray for education, pray to the immortal poet, then why pray to the Buddha? The Buddha is so powerful, what's wrong with asking for wealth? Do you look down on your own Buddha? ”
"Amitabha, forgive me for my sins. Please don't misinterpret the poor monk's meaning. The poor monk means that you must be sincere."
"Why be sincere?" Liu Jun was puzzled. He is a Taoist disciple. Worshiping Buddha is not sincere enough? If the Patriarch finds out, he will be punished.
Then he saw the monk pushing the merit box towards him, and the corner of Liu Jun's mouth twitched.
"Master, are you sick? I want to have money to donate to the merit box, and why do I come here to worship Buddha and ask for money?"
"Donor, you will get something if you give up. This seems like You are sincere"
Liu Jun rolled his eyes, this was fooling him.
“Come on, monk, I’ll give you a free look at your face. Looking at your face, I see that you and your senior fellow apprentices don’t get along very well, and something happened recently that made you very anxious. If If nothing else, you have encountered a peach blossom disaster. Master, you have to keep yourself clean."
"How do you know this?" The monk who had just advised Liu Jun to worship Buddha sincerely looked surprised. Looking at Liu Jun, the recent events were very consistent with what Liu Jun said.
"Oh, the secret must not be leaked." Liu Jun looked like a master, stretched out his hand and waved.
How could the monk not understand what Liu Jun meant? He hurriedly searched his pockets for money.
At this time, Master Kongming, who was chanting sutras with his eyes closed in the distance, couldn't bear it anymore and coughed.
"Junior brother Kongjing, go to the back and see how those dolls are reciting Buddhist sutras."
"But, senior brother" Master Kongjing looked at his senior brother Master Kongming, and then looked at He looked at Liu Jun, sighed, clasped his hands, performed a Buddhist salute to Liu Jun, and walked away with three turns. The meaning in his eyes was clear to Liu Jun. It was obvious that he wanted to talk to Master at another time.
Master Kongming stood up and walked slowly to Liu Jun, clasping his hands together: "Donor, this poor monk has been a monk for so many years. This is the first time I have seen someone who goes to a temple to tell fortunes for a monk. The benefactor is really an expert."
“Oh, Master Kongming, I’m so grateful, I’m so grateful. I’ve worshiped a fortune teller before, and I only know a little bit about it, so I won’t disturb you anymore. I’m going to take a look around.”
