Chapter 70 An Ideal Monk
When the sky is about to begin, the sun shines on Tianfu City.
Although it is the middle of summer, the sunshine is not as cruel as the future generations. It shines on your body, but it is a little warm.
The gate of Yingtianfu Inn opened early, and the streets outside were already bustling and bustling. In a tea shop next to the inn, three early monks were drinking tea and breakfast while whispering.
"Do you think it through the government clearly? Japan is not as prosperous and rich as the Song Dynasty."
"Yes, you are a monk from Daxiangguo Temple and a disciple from the Roasted Pig Courtyard. Are you afraid you won't have any wine or meat?"
"There are a lot of wine and meat, but it is not easy to be a monk. I don't know how many old monks are ranking seniority in Daxiangguo Temple. How often will it be the young monk's turn?"
"Are you a monk after going to Japan?"
"Master Zhishen must not forget that foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures. I went to Japan with Master Jiejue, and I became foreign monks.
Besides, I still have some savings and can build a small Xiangguo Temple in Japan, and then it will be the Grandmaster of the Kaishan..."
"Master Kaishan? You little monk is so worried... Master Jiejue, do you think so?"
"Haha, wisdom is deep, this is not a big heart, but a great wish. Look at the old monk, if the young master Linzheng goes to Japan, he will be able to attain the Arhat Fruit in the future."
The three monks who were talking were the old Japanese monk Jie Jue, Lu Zhishen Lu, Wu Haogu’s good friend, and the monk Linzheng from Daxiangguo Temple... They are monk Fu, and Linzheng is his name.
Although he was a monk who ate wine and meat, he also helped Wu Haogu to cheat money by lies, but he was not a fake monk, but a formal monk with certificates and essays.
His certificate was hard-earned, and it was earned by his parents' hard-earned money for many years. His family was originally a poor man from Kaifeng Prefecture. He had a father who was a chef. Although he had no worries about food and clothing, he could not save much money. Not to mention buying a house and starting a business in Kaifeng Prefecture, even if he rented a spacious house, he was not able to match it.
Without a house, Monk Fu naturally couldn't get his wife in Kaifeng Mansion.
In desperation, Monk Fu's father gritted his teeth and bought Zhang Du Certificate, and then made a way to send his son to Daxiangguo Temple, and even worshipped him at the Zhuzhuyuan.
I originally thought that Monk Fu could only burn the ancient Buddha with pigs in green lamps, but he had already made a fortune with Wu Haogu for a few years. After buying a small house in the east wing of Kaifeng Prefecture for his parents, Monk Fu still had thousands of knots left in his hands!
Since you have money, the monk's mind is also moved. One is the ordinary mind, who returns to the world to marry and have children; the other is the Buddha's mind, which means that you go further in the monk's very rich career.
Just when Monk Fu was hesitating, the Buddha "sent" to him the old monk Jiejue and the great monk Lu Zhishen, and told him to see a shortcut to becoming a generation of monks, which was to be an alien monk who could recite scriptures.
He had planned to go to Japan with the old monk Jiejue and go to the Japanese government if he had the opportunity to go to the Japanese government. Maybe he could also seek a monk from Japan. In a few years, he would go to the palace to meet the emperor of the Zhao family.
If you see the beauty of heaven, you will reach the sky in one step!
That's why Monk Fu asked his master, the Great Monk of Shaozhuyuan to escort the old monk Jiejue to travel east, and followed him all the way to Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing. He also became familiar with the old monk Jiejue, and even used words to draw the foundation of Monk Jiejue.
Jie Jue turned out to be a noble monk from Japan. His secular family surname was Zhongyuan and he has been an official in the Japanese court for generations. Jie Jue had an official position before he became a monk.
Moreover, Monk Fu also found out that Japan's Buddhism was at its peak and believed in foreign monks who went to the Song Dynasty. If there were Japanese monks like Jue, it would be easy to spend more money and make friends with some Japanese powerful people...
So Monk Fu, who made a great wish to go to Japan to be a foreign monk for a few years, told Monk Jie Jue early this morning and immediately received the support of the old Monk Jie Jue.
After eating breakfast, Monk Fu bought some pancakes, returned to the inn, and went directly to knock on Wu Haogu's door.
"Is it eighteen?"
Wu Haogu had already gotten up. After washing up, he was about to find Pan Qiaolian. When he heard the knock on the door, he thought it was Pan Qiaolian who was here.
"It's me, monk."
"It's a monk," Wu Haogu hurriedly opened the door after hearing this, "Come in quickly."
"Dalang, I just used breakfast with Master Jie Jue and Master Zhishen, and brought some for you and Pan Xiaolang."
Wu Haogu didn't say anything polite, so he welcomed Monk Fu into the door.
"The paintings for Master Jiejue are almost done," Wu Haogu said to the monk, "Now, you can set off for Xuzhou just by waiting for the arrival of Master Wu."
After hearing this, Monk Fu nodded.
"Dalang, when I was having breakfast with Master Jie Jue today, the master told me that he wanted to ask me to cross the sea to Japan with him..."
"What? Go to Japan?" Wu Haogu was stunned. He looked at this friend who was playing with him, "Isn't it good to stay in Kaifeng Prefecture?"
"Good, good," said Mr. Fu, "but there is no good future. It's better to cross the sea to Japan for a try. If you can make some achievements, you will be a monk when you come back."
The monk said calmly, but his tone was extremely firm, and he obviously made up his mind.
Wu Haogu thought about it and said, "I heard that Japan is now at its peak in Buddhism and has surpassed our dynasty. You may indeed make a breakthrough there. However, if you really want to hand over the powerful and powerful, you still have to have a greeting ceremony."
Monk Fu's eyes rolled and said, "Master Jiejue said the same thing. Please help me."
"Monk, how can you help Brother Dawu?"
At this time, Pan Qiaolian's voice came from outside the door, and then there was a gust of fragrant wind, and a beautiful boy wearing an emerald green Confucian shirt floated in.
"Pan Shibalang," Monk Fu clasped his hands together and performed a Buddhist ritual, "The little monk just wants a few papers of calligraphy and painting."
How many papers?
Pan Qiaolian frowned. The monk's request is not low!
Wu Haogu was already famous after Pan Jiayuan’s gambling battle, and he had long set the route of “sweet ink like gold” and would not easily paint for others.
However, Wu Haogu didn't even hesitate and immediately asked, "How many papers do you want? What are you drawing?"
Hearing Wu Haogu’s answer, Pan Qiaolian nodded in her heart: This is enough friends!
Moreover, if Monk Fu is able to make a great wish to cross the sea and spread the Dharma to Japan, he will either drown or be a great monk of a generation in the future.
So now Wu Haogu is helping him with help, are you still afraid that there will be no reward in the future?
Since you need help, then you can help the whole thing. Monk Fu needs a few papers and draw a few papers.
"Three papers are needed," Mr. Fu had already planned, "One paper flew to the sky, one paper Via Sarmon Heavenly King, and one paper picture of the small Xiangguo Temple."
Flying in the sky means flying celestial beings, usually women's image.
Vaisar Monastery is the Buddhist guardian god, the god of knowledge, the god of wealth and the god of martial arts.
But Xiaoxiangguo Temple does not exist.
Wu Haogu asked: "What is the picture of Xiaoxiangguo Temple?"
"So he followed the paintings of Guanyin Zen Temple in Yingtian Prefecture." said Monk Fu.
"Where is the King of Visakhsar?"
"Master Zhishen, please draw."
Wu Haogu nodded. Lu Zhishen has become Viashamantian. I don’t know if the Shangshan Qianxin will worship Lu Zhishen every day in the future?
"Fei Tian," Wu Haogu glanced at Pan Qiaolian, who was so charming, "Shibalang, do you draw it?"
"Don't draw Pan Shibalang," Mr. Fu replied quickly, "You can draw me."
"Male Flying?"
Chapter completed!
