Chapter 28 Ladies

(Quit the fire in your heart and pick up the Buddha’s headlight)

When the monks around saw the old abbot kneeling down in front of the child, they immediately panicked. Abbot Kongxiang also didn't expect this and quickly stepped forward to help Elder Xuanzhi.

"Oh, elder, why are you kneeling down?" Kong Xiang helped Xuan Chi up. There were tears in the corners of Xuan Chi's eyes. He stepped forward and held Lan Feng's hand and said:

"Child, you...where did you get these prayer beads?"

Lan Feng was also startled by the old abbot, but he could only tell the truth. Xuanzhi touched the green jade Buddha bead with tears in his eyes. He said: "Amitabha, I never thought that I could see this green lotus aura in my lifetime.

.Child, you are destined to be my Buddha..."

When Kong Xiang saw this string of beads just now, he knew they were not ordinary. However, he did not expect that this string of beads could actually make Elder Xuanzhi kneel down. He was increasingly unable to understand the origin of Lan Feng.

Kong Xiang supported Elder Xuan Feng and explained to him Lan Feng's purpose. Xuan Feng nodded in agreement, but when he heard that Lan Feng was only temporarily becoming a monk, a trace of sadness flashed across his expression, and he murmured: "What a pity."

Well, if he can always be with Qingdeng, this child may be able to make achievements in Buddhism that others cannot match in the future..."

"Elder, please go back and rest first. This child must be tired from the long journey. Let me perform the ordination ceremony for him tomorrow," Kong Xiang said.

After hearing this, Xuanzhi nodded, looked at the sapphire beads on Lanfeng's neck, and then went back with the help of his disciples. When Kong Xiang saw Xuanzhi leaving, he turned sideways and said to Lanfeng: "My child, I

Although I don’t know where your Buddhist beads came from, based on the reaction of Elder Xuanzhai just now, these beads are definitely not ordinary. From now on, you should wear this string of beads close to your body and don’t show them easily. Although this is a place of Buddhism,

But Jinshan Temple is also a big tree that attracts wind, so some people will inevitably have some evil thoughts, do you understand?"

Lanfeng heard that Master Kongxiang was doing it for his own good, so he nodded and thanked him. Kongxiang called another monk and asked him to arrange for Lanfeng to stay in the guest room temporarily, and then he would live with his brothers after the ordination ceremony tomorrow.

A night of silence

The next day, the morning bell rang, the mountain gate opened wide, and new believers and pilgrims were welcomed.

Lan Feng was still sleeping soundly at this time, but he didn't want to be disturbed by a knock on the door.

"Junior Brother Lanfeng!! Get up!" A fat monk shouted at the door.

Lan Feng sat up and remembered that today was the day for his ordination, so he quickly responded, put on his clothes and opened the door.

He saw a fat monk standing outside the door, a head taller than him, with a plump figure and a peach blossom face. Before Lan Feng could speak, the fat monk said: "Junior brother Lan Feng, my name is Jing Yan. From now on you will

Call me Senior Brother Jingyan."

Lan Feng nodded and said, "Hello, Senior Brother Jingyan."

When Jingyan saw him calling her senior brother, she immediately smiled: "Hey, the abbot is going to be ordained with you today, so you can have breakfast with me first."

Before Lan Feng nodded, Jing Yan grabbed Lan Feng's hand and walked out.

Along the way, Jingyan kept talking and asked Lanfeng about what he had seen on the way to Jinshan Temple. Lanfeng also felt his head hurt from his questions. After finally arriving at the dining hall, Jingyan made Lanfeng think again.

I gave him a seat and went to get some food.

Lan Feng saw that the dining hall was quite large and could accommodate three to five hundred people. At this time, other monks were coming in one after another.

Just as Lan Feng was looking around, Jingyan brought a large basket and placed it in front of Lan Feng's table. Lan Feng suddenly looked stupid.

At first glance, there were about forty steamed buns in this drawer, each one the size of a fist. There were also three bowls of rice porridge and several plates of side dishes placed on the steamed buns.

Jingyan sat opposite Lanfeng, handed a bowl of porridge and side dishes to Lanfeng, and then said: "What are you looking at? Eat quickly!"

"Senior Brother Jingyan, there is so much, how can the two of us finish it..." Lan Feng said awkwardly.

Jingyan took a bite of the bun and said, "There are still people here, don't worry. Hey, I heard that Elder Xuanzhi knelt down for you yesterday. That Elder Xuanzhi is a sacred monk here, more than five hundred years old.

Old age, what is your background?"

Lanfeng smiled bitterly and was about to speak, when he saw a slap on Jingyan's head.

"Jingyan! What are you talking about? This junior brother has just arrived, can't you stop talking for a moment?!"

The speaker's voice was thick. Lan Feng looked up and saw that he was an eight-foot-tall monk. The monk was tall and tall, with dark skin, a pair of bulging eyebrows and round eyes, a square face, a flat forehead and a scummy beard.

"Hiss..." Jingyan covered her head in pain and said with half a bun in her mouth, "Senior Brother Jingguo, please be gentle. I'm just curious..." After saying that, Jingyan quickly

Another bowl of porridge was handed to Jingguo.

Jingguo glanced at Jingyan, then smiled at Lanfeng and said: "Haha, little junior brother, don't be afraid, I am your senior brother Jingguo. Although he is a bit rough, he is definitely not a bad person. Jingyan is naturally verbose.

I can't stop opening my mouth, making you laugh."

"Hey, where did this vulgar boy come from? How could he stoop to eat in a place where monks like us are? You may have damaged your intestines and stomach. My Buddha can't cure you." Just as Jingguo finished speaking, this sound suddenly sounded behind him.

A sarcastic remark.

Jingguo stood up and yelled angrily: "Junior brother Jingsi, this is the junior brother the abbot accepted yesterday. Why are you making such a mockery of me!"

Jingsi's face was handsome, but there was a trace of evil in his brows. He raised his eyebrows and stared at Lanfeng and said: "Yesterday I heard that there was a new junior brother. When he arrived, he actually attracted the divine monk Xuan Chai to kneel down and win.

, I can’t think of which family’s young master came to become a monk, this elder Xuanzhi is over 500 years old, he’s not afraid of losing his life, is he?”

As soon as these words came out, other monks in the dining hall also started talking. Lanfeng was unable to defend himself, and Jingguo shouted again: "What, are you jealous? If you have the ability to make the elders kneel down to you!"

Monk Jingsi couldn't resist him. He glared at Jingguo angrily, snorted and went to eat.

Jingguo took a bite of the bun and sat down. Lanfeng thanked him: "Thank you, senior brother Jingguo, for saving the siege."

"It's okay, little junior brother." Jingguo took a sip of porridge and said, "Jingsi is the disciple of Master Dakini, who is in charge. He is used to being arrogant and domineering."

Lanfeng asked confused: "Master Dakini and Master Kongxiang..."

Jingyan suddenly rushed to say: "Master Kongxiang is the younger brother of Master Kongxiang. The former is the abbot, and the latter is the abbot. We are the disciples of Master Kongxiang, and Jingsi is the disciple of Master Kongxiang. Generally speaking, in the temple

All the trivial matters of the daily routine are presided over by Master Kongxiang. However, during major festivals, Abbot Kongxiang takes over the sermons and teachings. Therefore, Abbot Kongxiang is generally not seen on weekdays, which is why the meditation can be done."

Lan Feng nodded. Jing Guo frowned, picked up a bun and stuffed it into Jing Yan's mouth and said, "You know it, right? Junior Brother Lan Feng was asking me, but you snatched it away!"

But Jingyan smiled and swallowed the bun in one bite.

Just after Chen hour, then

In the main hall, all the monks gathered together and spread out on both sides. They sat in front of the table in the middle, Kongxiang was on the left, and Dakini was on the right. Master Xuanzhi also had people helping him sit down.

Jingguo and Jingyan accompanied Lanfeng and asked him to kneel in front of the Third Buddha.

When Kong Xiang saw that everyone was gathered, he said: "Yesterday, an old friend of my mentor asked me to bring a son to him, and asked him to use his convenience to help him become a Buddha for a few years. Elder Xuanzhi also saw him personally and said that this son was destined to be a Buddha.

Now I ask my junior brother Dakini to witness with all my disciples that I will take this son under Lao Na's door and become a lay disciple. When he grows up, if he wants to experience the calamity of life and the suffering in the world, then he can return it to the secular world. If he can understand the secrets of Buddhism

, If he is willing to stay in the temple and eat this bowl of vegetarian food, he will be allowed to live in a happy life."

"Dong--" Kongxing rang the bells at the side, and Kongxiang said again: "Since I am a lay disciple, I will not give you the Dharma name for the time being, and I will still call you Lanfeng. If you are willing to accompany me Buddha from now on, I will give you the Dharma name.

You still need to abide by the five precepts during your stay in the temple. The first is not to kill, the second is not to steal, the third is not to engage in sexual misconduct, the fourth is not to lie, and the fifth is not to drink alcohol, are you willing?"

Lan Feng nodded. Kong Xiang smiled and said, "Good boy, I should have tonsured you. But you are a lay disciple, so this tonsure is optional. Do you want to do it?"

Lanfeng looked at the senior brothers around him and said: "Master Kongxiang, all the senior brothers are bald. When I live here from now on, if I look out of place with my hair, please shave it off for me."

"Hahaha," Kong Xiang smiled. He looked at Dakini again, and Dakini also smiled and nodded. Kong Xiang said, "Okay, bring me the razor!"

Jingguo handed over the razor, Kongxiang touched Lanfeng's hair and began to shave. While shaving, he muttered:

Cut off the hatred in front of you with one knife, put down the world-slaughter knife;

Cut off the evil in your heart with two swords and let go of the sexual pleasures between men and women;

Three swords will remove the dirt from your hands, and put down your greed for money;

The four swords will eliminate the lies from your mouth and put down your lies.

With these four blows, Lan Feng felt a chill on his head. When he opened his eyes, he saw all three thousand trouble threads scattered on the ground.

"The ceremony is completed!" Kong Xiang said, "From now on, I will be your master, and you will be my disciple. As long as you stay in the temple for a day, you must strictly abide by the precepts and not break the precepts. If I know that you break the precepts one day, I will follow the temple rules.

Serve, do you understand?"

Lan Feng kowtowed and said, "Yes, Master."

Kong Xiang nodded with satisfaction and said to everyone: "I have ordained Lanfeng now. I hope all the disciples will help him in the future."

"Amitabha..." All the monks saluted and then left.

Kong Xiang called Jingguo and Jingyan and said, "Lan Feng will live with you from now on before he comes. You two should take good care of him and don't bully him."

"I understand, master!" Jingyan chuckled.

Kong Xiang said to Lan Feng again: "Son, you go with your two senior brothers first, let them show you the way, and then take the monk's clothes. From tomorrow on, you can have morning lessons with them."

Lanfeng thanked Kongxiang and left with his two senior brothers Jingguo and Jingyan.

At night, Lan Feng couldn't fall asleep in bed. Although the temple was quiet, he had been used to hearing the sound of the ebb and flow of the tide since he was born by the river. Now that he was quiet in the mountains, he couldn't adapt to it for a while.

He touched the flower sachet in his arms. The sachet followed him all the way, and unconsciously it had lost a lot of its fragrance. In the dead of night, he was also thinking about Su Wanxi and his deceased parents. Although he was in
