Chapter 307 Li, be careful!
Chapter 307 Li, be careful!
This white-robed monk was none other than Li Dangxin, a white-robed monk from Liangchan Temple.
Having just come from his own hall today, he sat cross-legged on the cushion beside the old monk, tilted his head to glance at the old monk and asked.
The old monk was the abbot of Liangchan Temple and a leading figure in Buddhism, the monk Nagarjuna.
"Our aim is not to cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it either. Now Yuan Qingshan is destroying Buddhism in Beimang. Buddhism has come to an end in Beimang. I want to ask what path Yuan Qingshan is adhering to!"
Monk Nagarjuna spoke calmly.
Li Dangxin frowned and asked curiously, "Want to fight?"
The monk Nagarjuna shook his head and said, "No, I won't fight. I will just reason with them. If they want to fight, I won't fight back. I also want to see what skills they have!"
Li Dangxin said expressionlessly: "At your age, can't you meditate and practice in Liangchan Temple?"
The monk Longshu looked back at Li Dangxin and said, "I am already this old. If I continue to hide in Liangchan Temple and watch the destruction of Buddhism in the Northern Mang continue to spread, how can Buddhism survive?"
Li added in a low voice, "Maybe it's not as serious as you say?"
The monk Longshu asked casually, "What do you think the purpose of Yuan Qingshan and others is?"
“Why do they want to destroy Buddhism?”
"It's nothing more than a difference of opinion and a different path, so one party will think the other party is on the wrong path."
"They used the power of the emperor to attack other religious sects, which was undoubtedly to eliminate dissidents."
Li Dangxin paused and asked, "Do you really want to care?"
The monk Nagarjuna looked peaceful as he stared at Li Dangxin and asked, "Do you know how the outside world evaluates our Liangchan Temple?"
Li Dangxin shook his head.
The monk Longshu seemed to have thought of something and shook his head. "That's right. Now you have to practice martial arts and take care of two children every day. How can you have time to take care of these things? If Liangchan Temple was besieged, you would probably protect your wife, children and disciples first, and then Liangchan Temple..."
When Li Dangxin heard the monk Longshu mention his wife, daughter, and apprentice, he smiled gently at first, and then, Li Dangxin laughed and said:
"Master, you must have guessed wrong! My wife is not the kind of person who doesn't consider the overall situation. At home, she makes the decisions, and outside, I make the decisions. You can ask her about this... She is a child, and as the saying goes, children speak without restraint. This is probably the case!"
The monk Nagarjuna said earnestly: "Sometimes, I don't want to be pushed to the front, but now it is time for me to go to the front."
"Look, Liangchan Temple is the leader of Buddhism. The Buddhists in the Western Regions are even more trembling with fear and looking for backers everywhere. I heard that the Six-Pearl Bodhisattva has already set out to find Xu Ping'an."
"It can be seen that they are also panicking. If I don't go... the Buddhist sect will be wiped out by the Daode Sect!"
Li Dangxin clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist name:
"Master, Master, you are still merciful."
"What is compassion? After being a monk for a long time and worshipping Buddha and Bodhisattva for a long time, you will naturally have pity in your heart and the idea of saving all sentient beings... In this way, you will have the bold idea of saving all people in the world." Monk Nagarjuna said helplessly.
When the senior monk from Liangchan Temple said this, the expression on his face suddenly became solemn.
It seems to be at this very moment.
This eminent monk already has his own understanding, especially a different understanding of the world, as well as an understanding of his own inner world, thus he comes to understand the world bit by bit.
Li Dangxin stood up, walked to the entrance of the main hall, and stood there for a long time... When he turned around to look at the monk Nagarjuna, the latter had already stood up and was looking at him.
"Master! You wouldn't..."
"You are the most senior monk in my Liangchan Temple, and you were the protagonist of the White-robed Monks back then. You have long been a senior monk in my Liangchan Temple. I feel relieved if you are the abbot of Liangchan Temple."
"You know, I'm used to being an idler, and also..."
"You don't have to worry about it, but there is someone who can take care of it for you."
Li Dangxin seemed to have thought of something, and looked at the monk Longshu in surprise, and asked in surprise: "Do you mean to let Wu Nanbei be the abbot of Liangchan Temple?"
Monk Nagarjuna nodded.
Li Dangxin paused and asked, "Master, Master, you are confused! If Wu Nanbei became the abbot of Liangchan Temple, I'm afraid..."
The monk Nagarjuna chanted a Buddhist name and continued, "What I like most about him is his steadfastness. No matter what he does, he is always methodical and never gives up easily. In addition, you and I may not be as accomplished as he is in studying scriptures. It's like he was born with that talent!"
Li Dangxin bowed and said, "Master, do you want to continue to think about it? Wu Nanbei is still young after all. If he becomes the abbot of Liangchan Temple, I will be annoyed to death by him every day."
The monk Longshu looked at Li Dangxin with a smile, "So I'll say hello to you first, you go back and discuss it with your wife, and then give me an answer."
Li Dangxin walked out of the main hall feeling somewhat depressed.
When he walked out of the hall, he suddenly met a man, who was Wu Nanbei.
"Master?"
"Nanbei, are you here to see your master again?"
"Master asked me to copy the scriptures, so I sent them to him. Master, why did Master call you here? Did he scold you again?"
"Do I, your master, look like the kind of person who would be taught a lesson by a master?"
"Master, this is really hard to say."
“…” Li was careful.
Li Dangxin was hesitant to speak.
He wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back.
In the end, Wu Nanbei was allowed to enter the main hall, just to look at the thin and small figure.
murmured:
"Do we really want to put the heavy burden of Ryozenji on him?"
"Teacher, I really can't bear it!"
"But I don't want to be the abbot of the Liangchan Temple... Well, I can only go back and ask my wife!"
"Yes... and my own daughter!"
After all, these two people are the ones who make the decisions at home.
Not long after.
Li Dangxin appeared in front of a thatched cottage and stood outside the courtyard wall. He did not go in for a long time and just wandered at the door.
At this moment, there were two people busy in the hut.
A little girl with pigtails and a woman.
The woman looked at the little girl, raised her head and asked:
"Daughter, do you know when your father will be back?"
"I don't know. I know he was called by the master. I guess there must be something important, otherwise the master wouldn't have called him."
"Haha, I think that old man asked your father to go, it must be no good thing."
"Ah? Mother, does that mean my father is going on a long trip again?"
"Think about it! It's always like this. Whenever your father is called by the old man, something must be wrong."
