Chapter 664: What to do with the bad guests? (2)
Next to the mountain gate archway, in the woods of white magnolia trees, there is a small courtyard with green bricks and blue tiles.
There are five courtyards in front and back. In the first courtyard, there is a four-legged square incense burner with hundreds of incense sticks inserted in the incense burner. The wisps of green smoke are like straight hemp poles, rushing up dozens of feet high.
Lu Le and dozens of young monks were busy in the yard.
As a collateral member of the Lu family, Lu Le was lucky. He was one of the hundreds of Lu family members who were taken away from Tian'en Marquis Mansion after Lu Yi separated from the Tian'en Marquis Mansion.
He was not good at studying and martial arts since he was young, and he was a bit lazy, but he was eloquent and proficient in various social methods. When Lu Yi was making trouble in Yuanlingtian, Lu Le carefully managed Lu Yi's mansion step by step, and actually climbed to the position of the third steward of Lu Yi's Weiyang Jun Mansion.
Therefore, when Lu Yi returned to Jishengtian, among the nearly one thousand members of the Lu family he took away, Lu Le was among them.
Board the treasure ship and ascend to the upper realm smoothly.
As mentioned before, Dajue Temple will not waste the water from the Merit Pond without limit. For some "Buddhist practitioners" who come on the boat, Dajue Temple will not use the precious water from the Merit Pond on them.
Lu Le simply got a pill made by a medicine monk from Dajue Temple. After taking it, his body was strengthened to a certain extent, and he successfully adapted to the environment of Liangyi Heaven, such as gravity, air pressure, etc., allowing him to walk freely like a native of Liangyi Heaven.
During the twelve years that Lu Yi lay in the Merit Pond to rebuild his body and foundation of Taoism, Lu Le procrastinated and cheated, and with the help of the extremely rich immortal energy of Liangyi Heaven, he actually raised his cultivation to the Heavenly Man Realm.
Therefore, Lu Yi brought a large group of people to Qionghua Mountain and appointed Lu Le as the gate-receptionist monk of "Qionghua Ancient Temple".
Such things as welcoming and seeing off guests, asking about their well-being, and serving different dishes to different people are Lu Le's forte!
When several monks appeared outside the mountain gate archway, Lu Le was holding a purple jade sand teacup and wiping it carefully with a snow-white silk handkerchief.
In front of him were dozens of sets of tea utensils prepared for entertaining guests, as well as hundreds of small barrels of spiritual tea.
A dozen young monks were running back and forth, carrying clean water from dozens of nearby streams and mountain springs in buckets, and placing it neatly aside, waiting for Lu Le to try it.
Lu Le played with the teacup and said calmly, "We are the owner of the family...er, no, the host. If there are guests coming, we must inform them. Therefore, the guests will inevitably have to rest here, take a breath, and have a cup of tea."
“So, this tea set must be exquisite.”
"This tea needs to be exquisite."
“This tea ceremony must be delicate!”
"There are so many things to consider here..."
"The tea set and tea are both good, so how can the fruit snacks that go with the tea be bad?"
"In the next two days, follow me, Master, to visit the towns in the east and find a time-honored brand that's a hundred years old...ah, at least ten thousand years old. Choose the best of the best, pick out the best exotic fruits, delicious snacks, etc., and have them offer them on time!"
"Being able to use their fruits and snacks to entertain the distinguished guests of the Qionghua Ancient Temple, wow, what a great cover, what a great signboard! Master, I won't ask them for a share of the tea money, it's really a bargain for them!"
A group of young monks, who were no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, kept nodding their heads as they listened, and regarded Lu Le's words as the truth of the great Dao, remembering them deeply in their hearts.
At this moment, a loud bang was heard. A bronze bell hanging on the branch of an old magnolia tree beside the courtyard and the mountain gate archway was violently struck. The bangs continued several times, and there were faint sounds of laughter and scolding.
Lu Le raised his eyebrows and put down his teacup: "This sound is not right, the person coming is not friendly! You should be careful, one person should go first and inform the mountain... The host has great magical powers, I am afraid he has already known what is going on here, but you must remember, in the future, the procedures cannot be messed up, the rules cannot be broken, and no steps should be skipped!"
Lu Le waved his hand, and immediately several clever little monks escaped into the last courtyard, stepped onto a small teleportation array, chanted a secret spell, and the teleportation array flashed with light, directly sending them to the top of Qionghua Mountain.
With a smile on his face, Lu Le led a few young monks out of the courtyard. In a breath, they walked through the path of several miles in the Qionghua forest and came to the archway of the mountain gate. He put his hands together with a smile and bowed deeply to the young monks in gorgeous clothes: "My fellow monks, I am Lu Le, and I am honored to meet you."
A young monk was hitting and kicking a bronze bell hanging on a tree branch. When he saw Lu Le and his men coming out to greet them, he laughed a few times and hit the bronze bell with his elbow, making a loud bang. Then he raised his head and slowly stepped back a few steps.
Lu Le still had a smile on his face and bowed again to the monk who rang the bell.
Among the monks, the leader, a handsome monk with a feminine air, glanced at Lu Le with a sidelong glance: "Lu Le? Common name?"
Lu Le smiled more brilliantly: "Emptiness is color, color is emptiness, secular name is Dharma name, Dharma name is secular name... Wearing monk's robes, but with a heart in the secular world, even if you live in an ancient temple in the mountains, you are still a secular person in the secular world... Wearing a secular name, but with Buddha in your heart, even if the secular world is thousands of feet around you, I am still my Buddhist disciple!"
Several monks' faces twitched, and they were a little stunned by Lu Le's words.
This...is this sophistry?
How can a monk not take a Buddhist name and still use his or her secular name?
But, but, but, listening to him say this, it seems, it seems, that there is some truth in it, some Buddhist meaning in it?
The feminine and handsome monk was silent for a long time before he asked, "Master Lu Le, I want to ask you, which lineage of Buddhism do you practice?"
Lu Le smiled slightly, and then slowly recited a few widely circulated Buddhist verses from among the poems and songs that Lu Yi had thrown out one after another when he was a "plagiarist" in the capital of Jishengtian Dayinhao.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the mountain gate archway became extremely awkward.
The Buddhism of Liangyitian...how to describe it.
To be honest, they have derived the "power of Buddha" to an extremely high level. They have comprehended the great way of heaven and earth, and derived countless magical powers and secret methods from their own body and heart, and countless Buddhist branches and inheritances. The powerful means mastered by the Buddhist disciples of Liangyitian are so powerful that they can shatter stars and the moon and sink the earth.
However, when it comes to the skill of "Buddha's intention", the Buddhism of Liangyitian is a bit lagging behind.
They paid more attention to "power" rather than "meaning of the scriptures", so when Lu Yu was lying in the pool of merit and virtue and casually said "emptiness is color, color is emptiness", even the Hell-Suppressing Buddha Xuan Guang was shocked.
Whether you are going to die or not, those Buddhist verses that Lu Le just recited were written by a true Buddhist monk.
These great monks might fall down at the touch of a wind, and might not have cultivated any magical powers in their entire lives, but in terms of their state of mind, some of them might even surpass some of the so-called 'Buddhas' in Liang Yi Tian!
Using Buddha-level wisdom to deal with these guys is really a bit of an abuse.
To be more objective, these monks pondered for a long time, but still could not understand the Buddhist mysteries and wisdom contained in Lu Le's verses. They just vaguely thought that these verses were very powerful, very powerful, but how powerful... Sorry , they really didn't understand!
Then, the feminine and handsome monk's face turned serious.
The monk who had just rang the bell violently took two steps forward and slapped Lu Le in the face.
This monk's cultivation level is not high, just the level of the first level of the True Immortal Realm. Moreover, he is practicing the Dharma, not the physical cultivation. Even so, the gap between the True Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Man Realm is like a chasm... and Lu Le is extremely weak in the Heavenly Man Realm.
The slap made Lu Le dizzy. He let out a scream and flew up, crashing into the mountain gate archway behind him.
This mountain gate archway was also the "front door" that the Buddhist monks of Dajue Temple had made for Lu Yi. It was extremely solid and had many magical uses. With Lu Le's small body, if he had bumped into it head-on, his bald head would have been blown to pieces and he would have died on the spot.
Several young monks who had followed Lu Le cried out in unison. Just as Lu Le was about to crash into the archway and die, a faint Buddha light flashed by, and the shriveled and skinny Jie Yin Tou Tuo, with a cold face, appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Lu Le by the collar and stopped him.
After Jieying Toudao entered the realm of heaven and man from the lower world, his cultivation level soared .
When he boarded the treasure ship, the inner world of Jieying Tou Tuo was 1.3 million miles long and wide. When he arrived at Dajue Temple and entered the Merit Pond, Jieying Tou Tuo spent three months to condense the status of a true immortal of the tenth heaven.
Lu Yi lay in the Merit Pond for twelve years, and during this time, Jie Yin Tou Tuo studied hard in the Sutra Library of Dajue Temple for twelve years. He switched to the "Prison-Suppressing Sutra" and learned several powerful Buddhist magical powers from the Sutra Library.
Holding up Lu Le, whose half face was sunken and whose mouth was full of broken teeth and blood was constantly flowing out, Jie Yin Tou Tuo's pupils shrank slightly and he stared at the feminine and handsome monk who was in the lead.
"Senior brothers, do you have any opinions about my Qionghua Ancient Temple?"
Jieyin Tou Tuo sneered sinisterly and said, "We are from the Qionghua Ancient Temple. We just settled down in Qionghua Mountain. Several brothers attacked us at the gate of our mountain and injured the monk who was in charge of reception of our temple... If there is no reason, you... hehe!"
Jie Yin Tou Tuo has never been a good person!
Just take a look at what Mahakala of Yuanlingtian has done under his leadership?
Murder, arson, frame-up, and all kinds of messy things, there is nothing he dare not and cannot do!
After reaching the upper realm and his strength soaring, Jie Yin Tou Tuo became a little bit arrogant... Faced with these handsome and tender little monks with arrogant attitudes, he really wanted to practice with them.
The feminine and handsome little monk was frightened by the evil spirit of Jieyin Tou Tuo and took two steps back. His face turned red and he pointed at Jieyin Tou Tuo angrily and said, "You lowly creatures who have ascended from the lower world are so presumptuous and rude... Do you know who I am?"
Shafo Wuxin quietly appeared behind these monks.
He licked his scarlet lips and whispered, "Brother Jieyin, why waste time talking to them? Just take them down and chop off their limbs first. It won't be too late to reason with them later!"
The feminine and handsome little monk trembled with fear and said in a hoarse voice: "I am Yinxiu, the incense-serving boy under the seat of the Joyful Bodhisattva in Mingguang Cave of Yuanfu Mountain. How dare you hurt a hair of mine?"
The atmosphere at the scene became even more awkward!
