Orochi Longevity

"whispering sound!"

Hearing this, Ling Xuzi pouted immediately:

"Jin Chi is good everywhere, but this is the only thing I can't understand."

"How can a monk wear gold and silver all day long, and even wear a hat with precious stones? Look, my brother, even the drinking cups are made of real gold and silver... If the things on this table are exchanged for silver coins, give them to ordinary people. Common people, even if they eat it for a lifetime, they can’t finish it.”

"I told Brother Heifeng many times, but he just didn't listen!"

When mentioning the extravagance of Guanyin Temple, Ling Xuzi couldn't finish it with a hundred mouths, and he immediately told the snake about Jin Chi's crimes one by one like spitting beans.

"This statement is wrong."

"Not everyone in the world has a pair of wisdom eyes. Ordinary people recognize the golden body of the Bodhisattva but not the muddy body of the Bodhisattva. Since I want to spread the Buddhadharma to the people of the world, I must first convince them."

"If there is no golden Buddha in my courtyard, how can the incense burn? If I don't wear a precious robe, who will listen to my chanting?"

"There is nothing wrong with gold and jade. Demons get it to deceive people's hearts, and Buddhas get it to save people's lives. This thing is just superficial."

For some reason, Elder Jinchi heard Ling Xuzi talking behind his back, and suddenly opened his eyes, showing dissatisfaction.

"Eating bran is also eating, and eating wine is also eating. This table full of delicacies is also superficial. Who said that monks can only eat bran? If there is obviously good wine to drink, but you ignore it and insist on eating bran, then you are really in trouble." Demonic form. Ling Xuzi, your comprehension is too poor, no wonder you don't have a relationship with my Buddhism."

But after a few words of teasing, Elder Jinchi quickly continued to close his eyes and sit on the spot to take a nap.

Ling Xuzi opened his mouth several times but failed to think of a smooth language to refute Jin Chi, so he could only swallow or spit or spit, looking very aggrieved.

Aside, the scholar in white was even more surprised. Snake looked deeply at the old monk with his eyes closed and meditating through He Yu'an's eyes, and his heart was very moved.

Although a lot of delicious food and wine were prepared in the hall today, Jin Chi just drank a bowl of porridge and put down the bowl and chopsticks.

Moreover, he is old and old, and his articulation is not convenient for chewing...

It can be seen from this that the table full of wine and food is indeed not to satisfy his appetite.

That being said, Elder Jinchi's words are indeed very reasonable!

But... is this person really like what he has shown, a high-spirited monk?

The scholar in white cast a glance at Jin Chi, sneaked closer to Ling Xuzi's ear, and continued to pry:

"Brother, I have long wanted to ask...how can this Guanyin Temple be so extravagant? Where did the real gold and silver in the garden come from? Could it be that they searched the people..."

It came to Heifeng Mountain this time for two purposes.

One of them is naturally to ask the Black Wind King about the way of longevity, and the other is to find out whether the legend of Journey to the West that Erya said is true.

Snake remembered that in the legend of Journey to the West, there was also a Guanyin Temple, and there was also an old monk over two hundred years old.

It's just that the old monk had a vicious mind, he wanted to kill people with just a cassock, and he even set fire to burn people to death.

Looking at the kind-hearted old monk in front of him, it was really hard for the snake to see this person as the same person as the vicious person in the story.

After all, although the elder Jinchi in front of him only said a few short sentences, every sentence seemed to contain Buddhist principles, and he had to think carefully to understand it.

So and so, is there a discrepancy between the story and the reality, or is it a mistake?

The snake couldn't figure it out for the time being, so it wanted to find out.

"It's not."

"Jin Chi was influenced by the great master Avalokitesvara since he was a child, and vowed to spread the Buddhadharma, save the common people from suffering, use the name of the Bodhisattva, and follow the way of the Bodhisattva."

Hearing his younger brother's doubts about Jin Chi, Ling Xuzi defended him instead:

"...He has done a lot of good deeds in his life. Look at the two great monks over there. One is called Guangwu and the other is called Guangzhi. They are both abandoned children adopted by Jin Chi back to the monastery. There are many homeless people taken in in the Buddhist monastery, and there are times when the temple is poor, but Jinchi has never given up on good deeds."

Ling Xuzi sighed again and again, with a hint of admiration in his eyes:

"Now the Guanyin Temple is famous far and wide, so it can be regarded as keeping the clouds open to see the moonlight!"

Hearing this, the snake suddenly showed a dazed expression.

For the rest of the time, it was a little absent-minded.

This Guanyin Temple and the Elder Jinchi seem to be different from what it imagined, and it is also different from the story of Journey to the West.

On the rectangular table, everyone was pushing cups and changing cups, feeling very happy.

The bowls of vegetarian food should be filled with mushrooms to enhance the freshness. Even a bowl of vermicelli in clear soup is so delicious that people can swallow their tongues.

Although the monks in this temple can drink good wine, they are not allowed to eat meat, because Elder Jin Chi believes that eating meat will violate the precept of killing.

Seeing everyone eating, drinking and drinking, their spirits were radiant, but the snake suddenly became dull.

After drinking and eating, Guangzhi Guangwu thoughtfully took Ling Xuzi and the snake back to the hut, and before leaving, he still explained:

"Grandpas, if there is something we need to do, just call out to the window."

The snake was speechless for a moment, it couldn't figure it out, is Guanyin Temple really as good as it looks?

Then Elder Jinchi, is he really a selfless eminent monk?

Countless questions came to mind, and the snake looked up at the bright moon in the sky, only to see that the sky was free of worries and the moon was bright and clean.

At this time, the pilgrims had already returned home, and the incense burners in the courtyard were temporarily rested.

Under the moonlight, Guanyin Temple looks so quiet and peaceful.

"..."

If the legend of Journey to the West is true, the Elder Jinchi would set fire to someone for a cassock in a short time, but in the end he set himself on fire and burned the Guanyin Temple that he built bit by bit over two hundred years to ashes.

Thinking of this, a trace of haze flashed in Snake's heart.

It didn't think about it anymore, but walked to the bed and pretended to sleep.

Ling Xuzi didn't drink well, and after only drinking three glasses on the table, his cheeks turned red, and he was helped by Guang Zhi to put him on the bed not long ago.

At this time, he was scratching his ears and cheeks, struggling on the bed like a fish.

And the body of the snake is a corpse, no matter how much you drink, you won't get drunk.

It paid attention to Ling Xuzi for a while, and then planned to sleep for a short time to quickly pass through the night.

Who would have thought that just as it was about to disconnect from the corpse, it suddenly felt a sharp pain in its arm!

The flesh of the arm rotted instantly, and the bones also broke.

not good!

Someone attacked it silently! And this person is very strong, at least stronger than it. That's why it didn't have time to react.

The snake sat up suddenly from the bed, and then it saw the attacker.

It was a wolf, a wolf in Taoist clothing, and it had a very familiar smell of snakes.

The snake and the wolf looked at each other for a moment, and it saw a trace of drunkenness remaining in the wolf's eyes.

Silence, a long silence.

After an unknown amount of time, an angry roar suddenly erupted in the squatter room:

"Ling Xuzi!!!"

That's right, the person who bit it... No, the wolf who bit it was none other than the black-browed Taoist Ling Xuzi who called him brother and brother not long ago.

Amidst the shouts, Ling Xuzi gradually sobered up with confused eyes, and then revealed a trace of guilt.
