Chapter 8: The master is a good man
Ma Shounian Wenyan was stunned. He naturally knew who the young and somewhat outrageous monk standing in front of him was. Being able to be his disciple would not be a blessing, but at least his future would be limitless, not to mention...
....
Ma Shounian secretly took a look at Coach Zhang who was watching eagerly not far away. He thought to himself that if it weren't for the help of the national master, he would have lost half his life in this place, so he just stood up and thumped again.
He knelt down and bowed three times and kowtowed to Fahai respectfully. The latter stepped forward and put his hand on Ma Shounian's shoulder. The latter looked up at him, but Fahai just patted him lightly.
Twice, I thought to myself: Don’t blame me.
"Congratulations to the Imperial Master... on the new disciple!"
Seeing this, Coach Zhang had no choice but to let this lucky boy go. He raised his hands and congratulated Fa Hai, and said the word "gao disciple" bravely. Many intern officials on the school grounds also followed suit and congratulated each other. The scene was
It suddenly became lively, and in the midst of the excitement, a subtle voice reached Fahai's ears from behind.
"Master, can I still marry a wife in the future?"
Fahai kept the smile on his face, but turned around and gave him a look to let him understand: "What do you think?"
Ma Shounian sighed in frustration, seemingly feeling a mixture of joy and sorrow.
I am really a wicked person...
In a few days, the incident of Ma Shounian's stay at the Qintian Supervisory School spread in Kyoto. When people laughed at the mad master of the Ma family, they often also praised the kindheartedness of the national teacher Fahai.
But if this has been passed down for a long time, various human tragedies will be staged in the market in front of the mountain gate of Jinshan Temple. Most of them are Buddhists. Seeing that Ma Shounian has an opportunity, he can actually worship the national master Fa Hai, so he
They all directed and performed their own performances, hoping to have a Buddhist relationship with Fa Hai.
There was a lot of excitement in front of the Jinshan Temple for a while. Finally, officers and soldiers were called in to conduct a strict investigation before it stopped. Fu Tianchou made fun of Fahai because of this incident.
"I really don't understand, what's the good thing about being a monk? Beautiful girls can't see it, and most of the food and wine in the world are not good for you. You spend all day doing vegetables and tofu, talking about Amitabha Buddha, and there are so many people trying their best to get in."
Fahai couldn't understand those people who tried their best to become his disciples, but Fu Tianqiu saw it clearly in his heart. He chuckled and said: "But as long as you become a monk and shave your head, you will be able to escape from the world."
In Buddhism, outside the world of mortals, there is no distinction between troubles and poverty, and with Buddha in mind, there is bliss everywhere."
"Master Fu still has wisdom. Would you like the young monk to give you a ride?"
Fahai pointed to the main hall behind him, which was usually used to receive ordination of disciples, and indicated that he could preside over it at any time for Fu Tianchou. The latter smiled, shook his head and said: "I am just a layman, I don't want to cause trouble to the Buddha.
"
After the face-to-face meeting, this trip to Kyoto can be concluded. Fa Hai stopped in Beijing for the day. After the pardon document issued by the court was officially issued, he planned to return to Youzhou with Fu Tianchou, but
Before leaving, he had a few things to do, so he delayed.
Nowadays, the Buddhist disciples in Kyoto are already halfway through the practice of Mahayana Buddhism. Fahai is extremely aware that he did not teach it all in a hurry at first, so he still has a lot of room for relaxation.
He first used his reputation and influence in Kyoto to publicize the benefits and magical effects of Xiaofeng Buddhism, but he controlled the superior teachings of Hinayana Buddhism very strictly, whetting the appetite of others, and then left Hinayana Buddhism behind.
He took Fu Tianchou with him and drifted away.
As a result, the Mahayana Buddhism before them had no way forward, while the Hinayana Buddhism that had been promoted again began to glow with infinite vitality. It is naturally self-evident how the Buddhist practitioners in Kyoto would choose.
"Master, since the Hinayana Buddhism is really much better than the Mahayana Buddhism, with your reputation in Kyoto, you only need to stand up and shout, and there will definitely be a crowd of shouters. Why bother with this and go through such a big circle?"
Ma Shounian, a new worshiper of Shimen, quickly fell into the role and became an inconspicuous monk in Jinshan Temple. Through what he saw and heard following Fa Hai these days, he came up with this incomprehensible sentence.
"There is no distinction between Mahayana and Hinayana. The former is closer to the way of heaven and can grasp the principles of heaven and earth. The latter is more like the way of humanity, which is far more magnanimous than the ever-changing way of heaven. How can a mere mortal be able to succeed in this world?
Arguing in front of the world that the way of heaven is inferior to the way of humanity?"
Fahai named Ma Shounian Fahai, named Neng Xiu, but on the day of his tonsure, his father, a second-rank official in the dynasty, came to the temple and hugged Fahai's thigh regardless of his dignity.
Let go, saying that the old Ma family is such a single seedling. Even if the master shaves his old man alive, he can't touch a hair of Ma Shounian. He insists on speaking out the feeling of a rural scoundrel as a noble minister.
.
There is no way, Fahai can't use his magic power to force the opening, right? What's more, his purpose is only to give Fu Qingfeng freedom of marriage. If Ma Shounian can't become a monk, it's just an insurance, and it may not really make him a monk.
Force.
He kicked Ma Shounian, who seemed to be looking down at the side and said nothing. The latter fell to the ground groaning and did not dare to get up for a long time. It seemed that there was something wrong in his heart, otherwise he was a monk and ordained.
Zhetian, how did his father come to your door so accurately?
"It doesn't matter, we don't have this master-disciple fate in our lives. Our relationship should end here. Help your father return home as soon as possible. Don't go looking for some immortal way to practice in the future."
After Fahai kicked Ma Shounian over, the latter thought that the imperial master had seen through the trick he was playing and thought that he would inevitably receive a good beating. Unexpectedly, Fahai raised his head high and put it down gently.
As a matter of fact, he was a little happy for a moment, but also a little disappointed, because he felt that his disciple didn't seem to care that much in the eyes of Master Fahai.
I really don't care much about it, it's just a moment of sympathy after Fahai deceived others.
Since he entered the Qintian Prison, he has been careful and cautious in everything, and finally managed to please an elder from the Taoist sect. However, the elder died in the battle of the Imperial City. From then on, his life in the Qintian Prison became more and more sad and cautious, and when
Has he ever been under the care of a person with a high level of cultivation like Fahai? And he also understands that after leaving Fahai, the Qintian Prison will not be able to tolerate him. The dream of practicing cultivation in this life should be awakened today.
So he straightened his body and kowtowed to Fahai respectfully a few times as a farewell.
Fa Hai was silent for a long time as he kowtowed loudly, because he was directing this scene from beginning to end. When he was leaving, he didn't know what kind of psychology was at work. He shook his hands and handed over the secrets of Hinayana Buddhism practice compiled by Youzhou Jinshan Temple.
In Ma Shounian, the latter held a thick book in both hands and stared at Fahai with wide eyes, not knowing what to say.
But Fahai couldn't stand his stupidity and scolded: "Go back and be a good person and be filial to your parents. These books are not great magic formulas. Giving them to you is a return to your master's gift."
Ma Shounian burst into tears with excitement, and even his father thanked Fahai repeatedly. Fahai looked at the boy's face full of joy at meeting a famous teacher and a good person, and secretly thought to himself that if he knew, what would happen to the evil man?
