Chapter 30 The abbot is stingy
Everyone followed Yuankong around the east and west, walked through the corridor and came to the two-story bell tower with a gray base.
When Chen Xiu saw the bell tower, he thought of the bell ringing before, and couldn't help but say, "Master Yuankong, did you ring the bell before?"
"Just call me Yuankong, I knocked it." Yuankong didn't look back.
"I just said it was knocked by a monk, but you said it was knocked by a monster." Lian Qi smiled proudly.
Chen Xiu ignored her and was about to ask why Yuankong rang the bell.
Yuankong had already walked to the gate of the bell tower and turned around and said, "Everyone is good friends, please come in."
Having said that, Yuankong kept walking and was the first to walk in.
Yunju Temple has become a hell, and people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can believe in anyone. The first thing he can do to enter is the way to enter.
"He knew we wouldn't trust, so he walked in first, he was a smart person." Su Mujin smiled and was about to follow him in.
Chen Xiu flashed and entered the bell tower in front of her.
Chen Xiu was afraid of any danger in the bell tower and took care of his senior sister.
Su Mujin was afraid that his junior brother would take risks, so he followed in immediately, and then the others entered the inside of the bell tower one after another.
After everyone entered the door, Yuankong closed the door.
There was a small hall inside the door, with seven or eight monks holding swords sitting next to the door, hundreds of monks behind them, and some injured monks lay on the floor and moaning quietly. When they heard the sound of the door, they all looked over together.
"These are all monks in our temple. The matter is urgent, so I won't introduce it. Don't be surprised by the ruthlessness." Yuankong said.
"Yuankong, can you say it now?" Lian Qi couldn't help but say.
"Don't worry, don't worry, please go to the second floor." Yuankong said.
Everyone was confused and didn't know what the purpose of Yuankong was to make mysterious.
But when they came, they would never leave like this. And it is true that these bald heads are monks in the temple, Yuankong has no deception.
Everyone pressed their doubts and followed Yuankong on the wooden ladder and climbed to the second floor.
The space on the second floor is smaller, and it is a semi-enclosed attic with a large bell hanging in the middle. It can overlook most of the Yunju Temple by leaning against the surrounding railings.
If you climb this bell tower in normal times, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery, but when you look at the railings, you can see dark clouds covering the temple, dusty sky, and demons dancing on the ground, making you look like a scene of hell.
There were four monks guarding next to the big bell. When they saw Yuankong, they saluted together. It seemed that Yuankong had a high status in the temple.
Yuankong gave a few instructions and asked them to go down. One of the monks limped and was quite strange.
Only Yuankong and everyone were left in the attic.
"Everyone from Xuanjingsi, Fengyimen is coming to the temple, and it is really full of glory." Yuan Dark rituals said.
"It's good if you recognize him as Xuan Jingsi, how could you know that we are from Fengyi Sect?" Lian Qi said in confusion.
Huang Wenze was wearing Xuan Jingsi's robe, so it was not surprising that he recognized it, but Lian Qi and Su Mujin did not show any marks of Fengyi Sect. How did he recognize the sect?
"The Fengyi Sect is famous all over the world, who doesn't know that the two outstanding figures of such outstanding female donors will not think about him except Fengyi Sect." Yuankong said with a smile.
Lian Qi thought it was good and was secretly happy. It seemed that this sect was really strong, and even monks from small places could recognize it.
Su Mujin disagreed, thinking that this monk was not like a monk, but he didn't know how he recognized Fengyi Sect. It was probably because he had been hiding in the dark before and peeking.
At this moment, everyone introduced each other. Yuankong knew very well about Fengyi Gate and Xuan Jingsi, but he knew nothing about Chen Xiu's Qingyun Temple.
Yuankong Zicheng was the abbot's junior brother, who was in charge of the precepts of monks and had a high status in the temple.
"Master Yuankong, can you tell me what happened in this temple?" Chen Xiudao.
"Please ask, as long as I know, I will tell you sincerely." Yuankong said ten times.
"Why did you ring the bell before?" Chen Xiu asked.
This is a question about the boss he is lying in his heart.
As soon as he entered the mountain gate of Yunju Temple, Chen Xiu heard the distant and solemn bell.
At that time, Chen Xiu didn't understand. If it were a monk who rang, the temple would have become a hell, so why would he ring the bell?
If it was a monster, it would not sound such a Zen bell.
But I didn't expect that it was really ringing the bell by Monk Yuankong, so why did he ring the bell?
"In order to dispel the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance." Yuankong said.
"What poison?" Chen Xiu didn't understand.
Except for Su Mujin, the others were also confused.
"Greed means greed. Anger means anger and hatred. Ignorance means ignorance. Buddhism calls greed, anger and ignorance the three poisons, which harm the body and mind, cause people to sink into the cycle of life and death, and are the root of evil karma." Su Mujin explained.
"Well said, Master Su has a connection with my Buddha, Amitabha Buddha." The ten paths of the cycle of emptiness were combined.
"My little sister is very confused. The three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance are inner thoughts. Why did the master say that he would ring the bell to disperse them?" Su Mujin asked.
"Master Su is right. If a person has bad thoughts, he will not harm others if he does not act. However, in this temple, the thoughts of greed, anger and ignorance have turned into evil demons and harm others everywhere." Yuankong said.
"Are you talking about those yakshas, Asuras, and fat corpses, all of them are transformed from thoughts?" Huang Wenze said.
"That's right, Yaksha is transformed from thoughts, Asura is transformed from anger, and fat corpses are transformed from greed. They are all born from thoughts." Yuankong said.
Everyone couldn't believe how thoughts could become entities? Even those immortals who have overcome the thunder tribulation may not have such supernatural powers.
"You say these evil demons are born from thoughts, so one person must have these thoughts." Chen Xiudao.
"What Mr. Chen asked was that the abbot of this temple was the one who had these thoughts." Yuankong said.
Everyone was even more surprised that it was the abbot himself who turned Yunju Temple into hell.
"You are talking about Master Yichen?" Huang Wenze said in surprise.
"Half a month ago, the abbot's senior brother had changed his Dharma name to a slight anger." Yuankong said.
"What's the difference?" Huang Wenze couldn't help but feel funny. Just as he was talking about something important, the monk started to pick up the words.
"The abbot is good at everything, but he has a shortcoming. He is a little stingy. When he first became a monk, he was called Dachen. Later, he changed to Xiaochen, and then Yichen, and not long ago he was Weichen." Yuankong said.
"You said the abbot is very stingy, how stingy are you?" Chen Xiu said.
"Did you see the lame monk just now?" Yuankong said.
"See it."
"He offended the abbot's senior brother when he was three years old. It was when his senior brother had not become a monk. The senior brother kept holding grudges. Later, the senior brother caught him in this temple and said that he would use Buddhism to resolve his anger. His leg was broken when he ran away." Yuankong said.
After hearing this, everyone couldn't believe that he was still a little baby when he was three years old. Even if he offended him, who would hold grudges? Could it be that Yuankong remembered the wrong thing and remembered the thirteenth year as three years old.
"The more you angry this Dharma name, the smaller it is. It seems that the abbot's temper is getting better and better." Su Mujin said.
"That's right, after a slight anger, he was not angry, and he had a great enlightenment. Unfortunately, my senior brother failed to get to that point and passed away and returned to the west." Yuankong shook his head and said.
"You mean that the abbot has passed away, but since the abbot has passed away, how can his thoughts turn into evil devils?" Chen Xiu asked.
"Because of the five-color jade," Yuankong said in a solemn voice.
"Five-colored jade!" Su Mujin, Lian Qi and Huang Wenze spoke in unison.
It is naturally a fragment of five-color jade, which is indeed related to this treasure of heaven and earth.
