Chapter 168 The returned monk(1/2)
"The princes are in power, evil cultivators are in power, and monsters and ghosts are in trouble. Is there really a way to save the world?"
"Ha! Is there any rescue? Think about our experience of escaping these days! This world will sooner or later become a world of evil things."
"It's not the case, right? If there are more people in this world who are like masters, there will definitely be a rescue in this world. What do you think?"
This is a fleeing caravan.
The guards said nothing, and finally looked at the old monk who closed his eyes and meditated on the ox cart.
The old monk was very thin, as if he was about to die soon.
But such an old monk seemed to have become the backbone of this fleeing caravan with more than 100 people.
Like an old monk, a timid little monk also looked at his master calmly.
The old monk opened his eyes.
"There is a saying in Buddhism: Mahayana saves people and Hinayana saves oneself. My inheritance is only for Hinayana Buddhism. Saving the world depends on the donor and the many capable people in the world. Therefore, what will happen in this world is not me, but you."
The old monk spoke calmly, and a few uneducated guards were stunned and a little half-understood.
"In this way, Master, you are really just looking for disciples who have inherited Buddhism?" The wealthy businessman in the caravan spoke thoughtfully.
The old monk sighed and nodded, then looked at the young monk who was less than eight years old beside him and said, "I have been going down the mountain for ten years. Since I want to see the things in this world, it is mainly as the donor said, I, Guanghui Temple, just to find the inheritance, and Huide is the right disciple I want to find."
"Although my Guanghui Temple is in ruins, it has been passed down for more than 800 years. If the Buddhist tradition is not passed down by me, I will have no face to see the great Buddhas of all dynasties when I pass away."
Is Guanghui Temple?
The wealthy businessman Lin Hongtao was thinking.
The disciple the old monk Huili was looking for was actually the son of a servant of this wealthy businessman.
Because of a chaos, the wealthy businessman's servant passed away and left behind this son. Then, during the adoption, he happened to meet Huili.
Huili spent a lot of effort to accept Huide.
Now, the reason why the old monk Huili is with the caravan is because he returns the gift after receiving Huide.
He took the wealthy businessman and his group to Xizhou, Dayan Mansion, and settled his home near the foot of Guanghui Temple.
In order to compete for Zhongzhou, the princes and the evil spirits were in trouble, the people were living in poverty, so there are many people who fled now.
But it is extremely difficult for ordinary people today to escape.
There are many monsters in the wilderness. If it weren’t for the old monk Huili along the way, more than a hundred people in this line would have disappeared.
Lin Hongtao was just an ordinary wealthy businessman in Zhongzhou, who opened five or six restaurants. That's all, where can he have money to hire a powerful man to protect him?
Moreover, in this world, all the so-called powerful people are evil demons and heretics. Lin Hongtao himself is afraid of dealing with these people.
The little monk was quite curious about Guanghui Temple.
When he was weak, he asked: "Master, you have been away from Guanghui Temple for ten years. Is the temple there really still there?"
Hearing this, the old monk seemed very calm: "As long as the heart is there and the people are there, then the temple and the Buddha are there."
"It's gone, you can beg for alms and build it again, but if people are gone, then everything will be gone."
The little monk nodded: "Oh, but master, didn't you say that you have been trying to find a disciple with Huigen for ten years? But why did you only choose me? What is Huigen?"
The old monk smiled slightly: "The wisdom root is extremely heart, and the Buddha's seal recognizes it, so there is wisdom root."
Foyin?
The guards and the wealthy businessmen who were listening were all curious.
The old monk seemed to be not caring about others and continued: "The Buddha Seal has been damaged so far. Even I don't know how long it will last for my Guanghui Temple to be passed on. Therefore, Huide, you must not use Buddha Seal too much unless you have to. You must know that chanting Buddhist scriptures will give you a glimmer of hope of continuing to pass on the inheritance."
Huide just nodded.
Seeing this disciple like this, Huili stopped talking.
After returning to the mountain, there will be a lot of time to teach. Huili can feel that she has not had much time, but it is not a problem to survive two.
If he hadn't found his disciples before his death, he wouldn't have gone down the mountain.
Nowadays, it is difficult to find disciples with wisdom in this world.
It is also true that when the old monk Huili went down the mountain, it took nearly ten years to go in the world.
You can imagine how many dangers and troubles there are.
It is precisely because of this that the Foyin has been damaged a lot over the years.
If the next generation of disciples is still so difficult to find, then Guanghui Temple may really have to cut off the Dharma and inheritance.
It is hard to say that the Buddha Seal has not been completely destroyed, and the disciples who can inherit the Buddha Seal have disappeared first.
But now the old monk Huili didn't care about this.
His Buddhism is not profound, and his only last wish now is not to pass on the inheritance and cut it off.
He can't take care of the future, let's go with the flow!
Moreover, he didn't know how long the secular humans could last in the future.
Monsters, ghosts and evil cultivators, and all kinds of these things, there is no hope in this world.
While sighing, the old monk closed his eyes again.
There are no true Buddhas or true gods in the world, but there are so many real monsters and monsters.
It's sad and lamentable.
......
The convoy was still moving forward, and soon a month and a half passed.
Today, the convoy finally arrived at Linlang Town under Guanghui Temple in Xizhou.
Because of the world, tall wooden walls were built around the town, with similar village gates, and there were many strong men guarding them on both sides of the village gate.
Although Monk Huili has been away for a long time, many people in Linlang Town at the foot of the mountain recognize it.
Seeing Monk Huili come back, the whole Linlang Town is even infuriated.
It is because Huili showed many real skills in Zhenshan's previous career, and the older generations in the town have had some connection with Guanghui Temple from generation to generation.
Therefore, everyone here respects Buddha very much.
But worshiping Buddha is one thing, but after Monk Huili left, these mortals no longer dared to go up the mountain.
Because after the old monk left, some monsters and ghosts came one after another in the mountains.
Therefore, no mortals at the foot of the mountain dare to joke about their lives.
Furthermore, when the old monk left, he did not ask the people in the town to help take care of the temple.
The old monk's temperament continued the indifference of each generation. If it weren't, Guanghui Temple would have been expanded and renovated long ago.
When he heard that Monk Huili came back, the elders in Linlang Town were extremely excited.
Although enthusiastic, the old monk did not have much talk with them.
But he couldn't resist the enthusiasm. When he returned to the mountain, the elders sent two strong men to open the way for the old monk Huili.
Maybe it is to help remove some vines and grass that block the road when going up the mountain.
After all, it has been ten years, and the mountains have changed a lot.
The wealthy businessman Lin Hongtao completely settled his home in the town.
He also admitted that if Guanghui Temple needs it, he is willing to repair the temple for Guanghui Temple.
However, the elders in Lin Lang Town were a little dissatisfied with Lin Hongtao's words.
Is it necessary for you, an outsider to repair the temple?
That's the matter with our Linlang Town.
With Huili in charge, these people feel at ease!
In the past ten years, I don’t know how many people have been killed by demons in Linlang Town.
No matter how strong a man is, he can only deal with some simple monsters, but he is useless to deal with ghosts.
Now in the town, there are several haunted places, and no one dares to get close to them.
Now that Huili is back, the elders are thinking about waiting for Huili to settle down and ask him to help deal with it.
Over the years, in order to deal with ghosts and monsters, Lin Langzhen spent a lot of money to find some evil cultivators. Sometimes, the evil cultivators failed to handle the matter, but instead caused a lot of trouble.
Huili is different. Monks are monks, so they don’t want money or anything else. They just occasionally beg for alms, vegetables, rice and flour.
Anyone who puts this kind of good thing is to curry favor with it.
After all, people are like this.
......
On the mountain, most of the roads are intercepted by grass and vines.
The walking process was very troublesome. Fortunately, two strong men used sickles to help open the road, otherwise the old monk Huili and the young monk Huide would not be able to go to the temple at night.
To be continued...
