Chapter 688 Cause and Effect
Putuo Mountain is a famous Buddhist mountain in China and a temple for Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Puji Temple is one of the three major temples on Putuo Mountain, so its strength is naturally unquestionable, so it was elected as the leader of the Buddhist ranks.
As the abbot of Puji Temple, Monk Shiyin has a profound Buddhist teachings on one hand, and he must be respectful and able to convince people. In the end, he must have outstanding strength.
After all, the abbot also has to compete for employment.
To be honest, when he heard Chen Zhengqian's request, Monk Shiyin still smiled and refused with a carefree smile: "I'm sorry, General Chen, I can't agree to this matter.
After all, the secrets of our temple’s cultivation and notes passed down by monks from all generations are the most outstanding secrets of our temple and cannot be accessed by ordinary disciples, let alone outsiders.”
If it were the head of the monks' academy below, I would have probably driven Chen Zhengqian out long ago.
It is another matter whether or not to fight or not, but Chen Zhengqian's request will not make people feel comfortable anywhere.
Chen Zhengqian also understood, so he decisively put forward the same exchange conditions as the Sword Sect.
It’s just that the exchange object was replaced by various secret notes in Puji Temple.
He had learned from the Sword Sect that his current realm was probably equivalent to the legendary land golden immortal, and he could be said to be an extremely awesome existence.
I believe that the cultivation experience of the Golden Immortal on the Land is enough to impress the Puji Temple.
There are many Buddhist schools in our country, including Zen, Tantric, Pure Land, Yogacara school, etc. There are many famous temples, with countless monks from ancient times to the present.
If you really need to settle it, it will be endless in a while.
Chen Zhengqian was just greedy for convenience and chose Puji Temple as the exchange object.
If the other party is not happy, he will not force it. Anyway, he can change to a larger temple. Lingyin Temple is a good choice, and even if it is not possible, Shaolin Temple can be used.
Sure enough, after hearing Chen Zhengqian's conditions, Shiyin hesitated.
On the one hand, he secretly shocked Chen Zhengqian's powerful strength of the True Immortal in Land, but on the other hand, he was a little unbelievable. He was willing to use his cultivation experience as a condition for exchange.
To be honest, the conditions given by Chen Zhengqian are very real.
But it was because it was too real that Monk Shiyin hesitated, otherwise he would have refused.
However, in Chen Zhengqian's opinion, although his cultivation experience is precious, it is not as good as not to be reluctant to take it out for others to see it.
Even if someone really breaks through the realm with his own cultivation experience, that will be a matter of the future.
So, Chen Zhengqian smiled and asked, "Abbot, my sincerity is pretty good. I wonder if the Guiji Temple accepts my request?"
The expression on his face was very casual, making people unable to see through his true thoughts.
After being silent for a long time, Monk Shiyin said to Chen Zhengqian:
"General Chen, we have already understood your purpose. But this matter is related to the inheritance of this temple, and I can't make the decision alone. Please wait for General Chen and I will summon the heads of each hall and discuss it and then give you a reply."
Monk Shiyin instinctively wanted to refuse.
Because Puji Temple has never had a precedent for opening the Sutra Pavilion to secular people, even if the other party is the best master in the world.
The Sutra Pavilion is the highest inheritance of Puji Temple. Even if the temple was destroyed, the inheritance inside was well protected, which is why Puji Temple is today.
However, he hesitated again. If he missed this opportunity, it would be impossible to have it again in the future. It might also cause Puji Temple to miss an opportunity to strengthen its own strength.
If there are monks in the temple who can get a little inspiration from Chen Zhengqian's cultivation experience, thus breaking the bottleneck and breaking through a new realm, it will be a great thing for Puji Temple and even Buddhism.
What's more, Chen Zhengqian said that he had already been to the Sword Sect before, which means that he had completed a certain transaction with the Sword Sect. Maybe this is the condition for the transaction.
When the Sword Sect thought that the Sword Sect might have obtained Chen Zhengqian’s cultivation notes, but his side was still hesitating and even refused, she felt a little uneasy.
The strength of the Sword Sect is already strong. If they are allowed to produce a few more powerful people, the living space of Buddhism will be squeezed even smaller.
Shi Yin already had an idea in his mind.
Hearing his words, Chen Zhengqian smiled knowingly and understood that things were almost done.
As long as you are moved, it is easy to deal with. The conditions can always be negotiated slowly, as long as it is not outrageous.
Now he has become the party with the initiative. I guess even if the remaining Taoist sect doesn't look for it, as long as he sends out some news, the other party will come to him with voluntary attention.
The great monk Shiyin went to summon the first major buildings in the temple to discuss and asked Chen Zhengqian to wait in the pilgrimage courtyard.
However, Chen Zhengqian is the kind of person who can't sit still. In addition, it was his first time here, so he just took a walk around casually.
Puji Temple is divided into two parts: the front yard and the back yard. The front yard is open to tourists, while outsiders are prohibited from entering the back yard.
However, this prohibition regulation is useless to Chen Zhengqian. He sneaked in while no one saw him.
Of course, I just wandered around casually and didn't do anything like taking the opportunity to peek at the other party's secrets. Chen Zhengqian doesn't want to get into evil with Buddhism for the time being.
Before he could finish his backyard, he heard a little novice monk calling his name and hurriedly slipped back.
When he saw Monk Shi Yin, he found that the solemnity on his face had disappeared, and instead changed into a relaxed look. It seemed that things had already come to an end.
I didn't expect to make a decision so quickly.
Monk Shiyin said: "General Chen, our Puji Temple can agree to your conditions, but I hope you can show your sincerity and provide some of the experience notes first."
This is not to believe in Chen Zhengqian's rhythm.
But thinking about it is true. After all, they are not as lonely as him. They come and go freely. If they regret it after seeing it, they really have no choice but to do anything to him.
So it is reasonable to pay a "deposit".
Chen Zhengqian has nothing to complain about about this. Others are willing to watch it publicly, but they are already out of the box. What else do you want?
What you love and do, be content in life!
Besides, I am not afraid that they will dare to repent.
Humph, that's so confident.
"In this way, I would like to thank the abbot and all the monks." Chen Zhengqian also clasped his hands together to show his gratitude.
In this way, Chen Zhengqian began to read Buddhist scriptures in Puji Temple.
In fact, Chen Zhengqian has a lot of connection with Buddhism.
I remember that the first method of practicing the mind was the Buddhist "The Great Demon-Suppressing the Demons", which was found in the coffin of an unknown monk in Danxia Mountain.
The "Heart Sutra of the Great Demon Subduing Demons" really helped him a lot.
Now I am reading the works and practice books of Buddhist monks and masters again. I wonder if it is considered a cycle of cause and effect?
