Chapter 143 Crazy Monk (2)
This day will pass soon.
After Su Peng got off the plane, he had a meal in the dining room, then returned to the room, turned on the computer, and found information.
Because in the game, the conversation between him and Monk Xuyue was very similar to talking about the koan, Su Peng searched for information on this aspect.
There were many search results returned by the computer. Su Peng looked at it for a while and couldn't help but frown.
The answer returned was like a cloud of mist. Su Peng looked at it and found that there was nothing particularly useful, but there were many examples.
After looking at those examples, Su Peng couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth. The famous Zen masters in history did everything, some used sticks to hit people, some shit and pee in front of the Buddha statue, and some took off their clothes and pants in public.
Su Peng's own thoughts are not very tempted by some chaotic thoughts in Buddhism. After reading these examples, you have deepened your impression in this regard. If you don't say that these masters who are meditating on the koan are Zen masters, most of them will be sent to mental hospitals, but they are Zen masters. If you don't understand, it's because you don't have enough understanding, and it's not that Zen masters can kill you.
"My mind cannot be connected with these Zen masters.
After seeing it, Su Peng shook his head.
"If that crazy monk has only such skills, then forget it. I won't accompany him to be crazy. I'll find a way to improve my understanding. However, the monk was a little crazy, but he always felt that he was referring to something, and he might not be like these people."
"I heard the crazy monk's words, it seems a bit out of the way. It's better to find information about this, maybe I can use it tomorrow."
With this idea, Su Peng searched for a lot of information.
...
The next day soon came. After Su Peng had dinner and put it on the machine, he bought another pot of good wine very early, and bought two pieces of dog legs from the butcher in the city, wrapped it in paper, and came to Putuo Temple.
The monk Xuyue still thought about yesterday, sitting at the entrance of Putuo Temple, but he changed his position today and leaned against the other side of the Arhat statue.
Su Peng walked over and said with a smile: "Master, I'll bring your dog meat and wine."
"Hahaha... bring it quickly." Monk Xuyue laughed, Su Peng took out the wine and meat. Monk Xuyue grabbed a dog's leg with one hand, and then started eating with the wine.
At this time, many people had passed by near Putuo Temple and saw the way of eating this monk Xuyue. Many people showed disgust.
Su Peng watched as Monk Xuyue had been eating a dog leg before burping and stopped eating and drinking.
Looking at Monk Xuyue, Su Peng said, "Master, yesterday I said that dogs have no Buddha nature. You said yes, but Master, you are a Buddhist after all. I said that dogs have no Buddha nature. Can you say that dogs have no Buddha nature? And you still eat wine and meat?"
"Haha. Whether a dog has Buddha nature or not, the Buddha has the final say. What the Buddha said is the truth, but the truths in the world are always clear?"
Monk Xuyue shook his head and said, "How can the truth in the world be so clear? However, the survival of the weak is the eternal truth in the world. So I eat dog meat, not dogs eat me... But I ask you, if a person is better than a person, can he eat people?"
After hearing this, Su Peng couldn't help but look at Monk Xuyue. What the monk said seemed to mean something...
But Monk Xuyue did not wait for Su Peng to answer and continued, "In the Buddhist path, there is a saying that killing is good. If you kill someone, it is good to kill someone. There is also a saying that you eat dogs with compassion. But can you eat dogs with compassion? Can you eat dogs with compassion?
"I think it's natural for people to eat dog meat, but since you are a human being, you shouldn't eat people. This is the minimum bottom line." Su Peng said
Monk Xuyue didn't say anything, as if he didn't want to get an answer. After a change of the subject, he continued: "The Buddha was at the Lingshan Conference and showed the flowers to the public. At that time, everyone was silent, but only the Venerable Kashyapa smiled. This is the story of the smile of the flowers."
Before Su Peng could reply, he heard the monk Xuyue continue to say:
"About this story, everyone knows that the Buddha's disciple Kashyapa smiled and realized through his eyes and inherited his robe and mantle, but no one knows that after the Dharma Assembly, Jin Chanzi, the disciple of the Buddha, once said to the Buddha's disciple, after the Dharma Assembly, "You smiled for the sudden enlightenment of the Buddha's flowers, but you forgot that there are thousands of people in the world who can't laugh." Then, Jin Chanzi was knocked down to the mortal world and reincarnated. Then, there was the legend of the Buddha Mountain."
When Su Peng took a boat back to Jiangning County, he read several books that recorded allusions and legends in this world during his journey. There were still some disciples of the Buddha in this world, and there were also similar to Tang Monk Journey to the West. However, the Tang Monk in this world was not called Tang Monk, and he was not from Jinshan Temple, but from Dakong Temple in the Futu Mountains. Moreover, what he brought from the Buddhist holy places in the distance was not only Buddhist scriptures, but also martial arts secrets.
But the holy monk who obtained the scriptures was also the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, according to legend.
"Okay! Hey... I just don't give you face!"
Su Peng said.
Su Peng heard Monk Xuyue say this while paying attention to Monk Xuyue's expression.
Because Su Peng suddenly thought of a possibility that Monk Xuyue’s internal strength was so terrifying, and the temple that was most likely to be of such a master in the martial arts world was the Dakong Temple in Futu Mountain?
"It is not easy to think of the reincarnation of the Golden Chanzi, who traveled west for ten generations, and understood the correct path? The Patriarch of the Buddha used his ten generations to achieve great achievements in traveling west for the purpose of allowing sentient beings to escape from suffering as soon as possible, so that everyone in the world can hear the Buddha's name, understand the Buddhist principles, and avoid evil devils, dissipate, shape an immortal golden body, and obtain the correct result of Buddhism. However, those descendants have lost all the face of the ancestor."
Monk Xuyue said here, as if he was a little excited, and said.
"Master is the master at the gate of Futu Mountain?" Su Peng couldn't help asking when he heard Monk Xuyue say this.
"If you think it's right, that's right."
Monk Xuyue did not deny it, but just took a sip of wine and shook his head.
"You have said a lot with me today, and it's considered destiny. I want to ask you something."
Monk Xuyue suddenly changed his mind and said to Su Peng.
"Oh? Master, please say, if Su Peng has the ability to help the master."
"Nothing big is happening. I want you to go to Dakong Temple in Futu Mountain, see someone in the temple, and ask him a question..."
"What are you talking about, Master."
"You told him that I, the monk Xuyue, have been traveling around the world for many years, and accidentally encountered a statue of a Bodhisattva sitting upside down outside a small village. You asked the man, what does this Bodhisattva sitting upside down mean?"
Xu Yue said to Su Peng.
"It's not a big deal..." Su Peng nodded and asked again, "But who should I ask?"
"The previous generation of holy monks in Futu Mountain, Void!" Xu Yue said, "The light seemed to be flashing in his eyes.
At the same time, a prompt appeared in the lower left of Su Peng's vision: "You have taken over the task: Monk Xuyue's question." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
ps: When I was writing this chapter, I felt that my writing skills were still a bit lacking, and some of the things I wanted to express were not thoroughly expressed.
