Chapter 1808: Avalokitesvara Admits Defeat
In the early morning of the next day, Master Huili, the abbot of Shangtianzhu Temple, dressed up and put on his best cassock. Without a novice monk, he walked slowly towards the city with a Zen stick in his hand.
If he had been in the city normally, the people along the road would definitely greet him with respect, and some would even pay respects, but today, no one stepped forward, and some even pointed. These words fell into Master Huili's ears. He is profound in Buddhism and can bear his temper, otherwise he would really be mad to death.
When they reached the entrance of Baohe Hall, there were even more discussions like this. Master Huili turned a deaf ear to it, walked to the door and saluted Bai Fu, the gatekeeper, "Amitabha, please inform me that Huili is visiting Tianzhu Temple. Please meet Mr. Xu out of the way."
Bai Fu was stunned. Even though he can freely enter and exit the major palaces and temples in Qiantang now, the abbots and temple owners of Baopu Temple, Dongxiao Palace, Lingyin Temple, and Jingci Temple are all busy greeting Shen Long and Bai Suzhen. I went, I just nodded when I saw him, who would give him such a formal salute?
It took a while for Bai Fu to react, and hurried in to report. Shen Long replied lightly after hearing this, "Got it, let him in. I'll wait for him in the backyard." If Taoist Qingjing or Master Jianxin came, he would definitely He was going to go out to greet him, but the abbot of Tianzhu Temple didn't bother to give him this face.
Master Huili used to go to that family in Qiantang, but the head of the family was not allowed to come out to greet him in person? But at the moment, he had nothing to say, so he chanted another Buddha's name, and went in with Bai Fu. When he came to the backyard and saw Shen Long, he clasped together again and saluted, "Amitabha, the poor monk went to Tianzhu Temple and Huili met Mr. Xu." !"
"Master, you are polite." Shen Long sat lazily on the chair, didn't even want to get up, just nodded his head as a gesture of return, and then asked, "I have little contact with Shang Tianzhu Temple, I don't know whether the master has come here. What's the matter?"
"Benefactor Xu's charitable deeds have benefited countless people. My Buddhism has always been compassionate, and I admire the benevolent deeds of Donor Xu. If everyone in the world can be like the benefactor Xu, it will be so kind." Master Huili didn't care about Shen Long's rudeness , said respectfully, the reverence between the words is beyond words.
"Haha, if the people in the world are like me, the Buddhas and gods all over the sky should be anxious. If everyone finds their own way to solve all kinds of embarrassing things in the world, then what do Buddhas and Bodhisattvas do?" Shen Long laughed loudly. In the era he lived in, he had never heard of any Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Except for a few people with insufficient brains, most people felt that relying on themselves was more reliable than relying on Bodhisattvas. What can gods and Bodhisattvas do for things that people can't solve by themselves? ?
Huili was almost suffocated by Shen Long's words, but when he thought that Shen Long and Bai Suzhen had cured the plague first, and then solved the problem of difficult childbirth, these did not rely on the merits of that fairy Bodhisattva, but theirs. The action has brought incense to many gods and Bodhisattvas, and they are indeed qualified to say these words.
Seeing that Huili seems to still want to talk,
Shen Long waved his hand and said, "Okay, there's no need to say those meaningless words, what's the matter with you this time, you might as well just say it, I'm going to visit Wen Chenghuang at the Town God's Temple!"
Huili sighed. If he had followed his past temperament, he would definitely turn around and leave when he heard this, but when he thought about what happened before and the current predicament of going to Tianzhu Temple, he could only hold back his temper and continue to be respectful. He said respectfully, "I have a lot of continuations in Tianzhu Temple, and I am willing to help Jiangnan women learn how to use forceps. I hope that the benefactor will give me a chance."
"Hehe, it's not my fault." Shen Long sneered, you pushed Fa Hai to deal with me and Bai Suzhen, and tried every means to separate us. I didn't demolish your Tianzhu Temple, but you still Want me to help you grow incense? Isn't this a dream? I'm not that cheap!
"Benefactor Xu, the poor monk heard that Zen Master Fahai of Jinshan Temple has resigned as the abbot of Jinshan Temple and went to the mountain to practice hard. He vowed that he would never experience the world of mortals again in this life." Huili also understood. Long certainly did not agree, so he disclosed Fa Hai's whereabouts to Shen Long.
"Hehe, this is a low-level vehicle. Fa Hai has no hope of cultivating a true fruit in this life. How can he achieve all things empty if he can't let go of the anger in his heart? If he plays around in the world like Master Ji Dian back then, maybe there is no hope of cultivating a true fruit." Be older." Shen Long said with a smile, with Fa Hai's temperament, going to the mountains to cultivate hard is no different from seeking fish by the tree, he is afraid that he will have to wait for the next life.
"Benefactor Xu's merits and virtues are immeasurable, and my Buddhist sect also admires them. From now on, I hope to contribute a little bit to the great cause of benefactor Xu." Monk Huili said again.
This time Shen Long understood again, and Huili first told Fa Hai's whereabouts—well, he was assigned by Buddhism without a doubt, and Huili didn't ask about the cassock and bowl. The two items were already owned by Shen Long, and they did not intend to ask for them back.
This is not an easy task for Buddhists. Don't they always like to say "this thing is destined for me in the West", and then take all kinds of magic weapons for themselves? It's not even just magic treasures, some talents are treated in the same way. In detail, Avalokitesvara was also a Taoist back then, and then he was bewitched by Buddhism, and became Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva from Daoist Cihang.
This Buddhist sect has always held tight, if they hadn't been forced to do so, they would definitely not give up what they already had. When Daoist Huili said this, it was obvious that he had already admitted his cowardice.
If this continues, the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's Taoist temple in Qiantang will be useless; and Shen Long's move is only aimed at her. Subduing Dragon Arhat and Ge Tianshi are now happily enjoying the incense offerings! Even if Avalokitesvara wanted to do something to Shen Long, let alone the sect, even the Buddhist sect would not support it.
"Hehe, I know what you want, and you must also know what I want. Since you have come here and said these words, we must be able to reach an agreement on this point, Master Huili, yes Isn't that so?" Shen Long said with a smile, it seems that he is not far away from completing this task.
In many cases, it is not possible to solve the problem directly. It is necessary to find out what the other party cares more about and what you can do, so that you can achieve your goal more easily.
"Amitabha!" Huili couldn't say a word of confession directly, but his face and this Buddha's name already showed everything.
Shen Long naturally understood what this meant, it wasn't that he disliked it, this little trick was far from what Shen Long encountered in the officialdom, he thought for a moment and said, "Don't even think about forceps."
