Eat the incense of the world, I am actually the underworld

Chapter 493 Fang Ji’s visit
Mo Chuan has done a lot of business, peddling ghost puppets in Guangling, Jiuzhou, joining an academy in Wanli Jinghuang, collecting rents from Taoist sects in Xuling Cave... and even founding a Taoist court is, to a certain extent, a monopoly and redevelopment of the world's resources. distribute.

He knows that there is no absolute fairness and justice here.

He could calculate with his toes that someone must be taking bribes and receiving benefits in his name.

This is human nature.

Therefore, when he opened a beauty salon, he had already guessed that there would be some kind of chaos involved.

He was not surprised to find Tan Sumin's father;
It’s not even surprising that the owner of Xiaoyao Hall charges protection fees.

The only thing he didn't expect was that the local gray forces would notice him so early.

Tan Sumin was his first client.

If he hadn't been observing him all the time, he would definitely not have used Tan Sumin's reason of "cross-race injuries."

This is a very dangerous signal, which means that his information has probably been collected by local gray forces.

You know, selling intelligence is also one of the main businesses of gray forces.

In this case, it is better to close the beauty salon early.

It's not Kyushu now, and he doesn't have the Netherworld as a retreat. It's not a bad thing to be cautious after all.

Since he was disenchanted, he decided to do something.

I don't seek fame or fortune, I just want to be happy.

Therefore, after putting down "[-]% profit, keep peace", before the owner of Xiaoyao Pavilion could defend himself, he continued to bombard:
"Master Haojiao knows that the poor man rents a house on Haitao Street to make a living, pays business taxes and pays money, behaves himself, and makes a living according to his duties.

Unexpectedly, this guy's hot-tempered and poor way of making a living actually led others to secretly trick him and publicly announced that he had to hand over [-]% of the profit to ensure safety, and even said that the money was collected on behalf of the Buddha!If not for the blessing of Buddha, I would be happy and peaceful now.

In this case, I dare to ask the owner of Xiaoyao Hall, what is the business tax paid by Pindao?Are you also qualified to make alms on behalf of Buddha? "

To say that the world is afraid, to tell the truth that ghosts and gods are frightened.

Hearing these words, Xiaoyao Pavilion Master's face darkened, but he never expected that Mo Chuan would dare to betray him in public!

"Amitabha, is what this fellow Taoist said true?" The old monk in yellow robe looked at the owner of Xiaoyao Pavilion.

"Master, this is clearly a frame-up!" the leader of Xiaoyao Pavilion said coldly.

This time, before the old monk in yellow robe could speak, Mo Chuan interrupted again:

"I have heard that Buddhism has the great magical power of asking one's mind, asking the ancestors, and asking the Buddha. Instead of listening to each of us say our own words, Master, why not use the great power of asking one's mind in front of everyone? Wouldn't it be refreshing?"

Looking at the increasing number of spectators gathered in front of the Thousand Buddha Pagoda, the owner of the Xiaoyao Pavilion, after hearing this, a hint of unnoticeable joy quietly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Since the Taoist friend has taken the initiative to invite me, it is difficult for the poor monk to refuse. This Taoist friend is willing to accept the method of questioning one's heart."

"The young man is willing to be questioned about the law of his heart to show justice."

"Well done, since the act of asking one's heart is what Taoist friends say, let's start with Taoist friends first."

The old monk in yellow robe nodded with satisfaction and looked at Mo Chuan.

"Wait a minute!"

Mo Chuan shouted to stop, and under the puzzled eyes of everyone, he cupped his hands and said: "I also ask the mage to swear by the Eye-Opening Arhat that there will be no deception in the process of interrogation!"

As soon as these words came out, Old Monk Huang's pupils shrank suddenly.

"How dare you openly question the Master?" The master of Xiaoyao Pavilion changed his face and retorted angrily.

"Amitabha, we practitioners of Buddhism should keep our minds as still as water and not stir up dust. Fellow Taoist, you are worrying too much." The old monk in yellow robe clasped his hands together.

"Since it is too much to worry about, Master, why don't you take this unnecessary step and use your heart to appease the poor and seal the world's reputation!" Mo Chuan showed no expression on his face.

The onlookers all secretly admired the words.

This master is really fierce!

This is like a suicidal questioning that leaves no escape route.

Seeing that the situation was about to reach a stalemate, a young man wearing a red robe and cassock walked out of the Thousand Buddhas Temple again!

Looking at Duan, his lips are red and his teeth are white, he looks like an immortal descended into the world.

"Amitabha, Taoist friend, it is reasonable to worry too much. In this case, why not take an oath to open the eyes of the Arhat?" The young man in red robe approached, clasping his hands together, with a majestic look on his face.

"Master Jiachen?"

The blood on the face of Xiaoyao Pavilion Master turned around and fled, turning into a ray of light and rushing out of the hub.

This sudden scene made everyone stunned.

"Amitabha, since you are asking, why did you run away without telling me?"

When the young man in red robe saw this, he clasped his hands together, announced the Buddha's name unhurriedly, and immediately raised his hands.

The big street suddenly shook. Under the bluestone-paved street, there was a faint light of Buddha shining. In an instant, a huge Buddha's hand rose from the street and hugged the owner of Xiaoyao Pavilion. No matter how he flew away, he could not escape with five fingers. Buddha palm.

hum-

The next second, the five-fingered Buddha palms closed together and gently sent the owner of Xiaoyao Pavilion back.

"Amitabha, the owner of the Xiaoyao Pavilion fled without warning. He is suspected of committing an act of fear of crime. This poor monk will investigate this matter thoroughly and give an explanation to fellow Taoists."

The red-robed monk saluted Mo Chuan with one palm. Without waiting for Mo Chuan's reply, he turned around and returned to Qianfo Temple.

Behind him, the Xiaoyao Pavilion was unable to move, floating and following like a ghost. When passing by Mo Chuan, a pair of eyes stared at Mo Chuan, seeming resentful, but also hiding in pride.

Mo Chuan watched quietly as the monks retreated to the Thousand Buddhas Temple like a tide, then turned and left in silence.

The gathered spectators looked at this man who challenged the bad rules of Buddhism, and some looked sad, some looked sarcastic, or some shook their heads and sighed...

Of course, there are more ignorant onlookers talking about it, waving flags and shouting for justice for Buddhism.

Before Mo Chuan returned to the beauty shop, he saw Chen Qingning standing in front of the door from a distance. When he saw Mo Chuan coming back, his face turned pale, and he turned around and got into the shop, not daring to meet her face.

Looking at the shop owners along the street, Mo Chuan was also avoiding snakes and scorpions, and he was no longer as polite as before.

Mo Chuan shook his head, too lazy to say anything more.

He quietly returned to the shop, lay down on a chair casually, and slowly began to read the scriptures.

A wisp of incense from the Middle Way Star Realm lingers on the fingertips, like a thread, undetectable.

He is waiting, waiting for the enemy.

——I just don’t know if Luan Shoulu is so powerful!
……

This wait is three days.

On the fourth day, Toad Spirit sent a newspaper to the residence as scheduled, and said with a happy face: "Congratulations, sir, you are on the front page. The owner of Xiaoyao Pavilion pretended to be the Buddha and cheated. He has been put in jail and will be executed soon."

With that said, he quickly delivered the report to Mo Chuan.

Mo Chuan reached out to take it, glanced at it, and showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

It’s really deep-rooted, and officials protect each other!
The toad spirit was originally thinking that the owner of the beauty parlor would give it a bunch of money when he was overjoyed, but when he saw Mo Chuan's sneer, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he quickly retreated calmly, feeling depressed. This gentleman could What a weirdo, why is his face so unhappy when it's obviously a happy event?

As soon as Toad Spirit left, Jinluan Hall Chen Qingning stepped in with his hind legs.

"Congratulations, Mr. Congratulations, Mr. Congratulations, have you heard..."

"I heard that I will ask you to kill me soon."

Mo Chuan's interruption made Chen Qingning's smile freeze, and she said casually: "Master, don't dislike the young lady for hiding from the young master these days. The young lady is a poor person and can't afford to cause any trouble..."

Mo Chuan shook his head: "The fairy is too worried, Pindao just happened to get the Di newspaper."

"That's it!"

After hearing this, Chen Qingning noticed the newspaper on the desk and breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, Pindao will be leaving soon. The date of departure is uncertain, so I won't say goodbye in person."

"Ah, you want to leave?" "Yes."

"Why? The owner of Xiaoyao Pavilion asked Zhan, Ping An Cai is not here, and the Beauty Pavilion is even more famous. How many people asked me... Why did you just leave?"

Mo Chuan smiled and said seriously:

"After I leave, they may not collect Ping An wealth for the time being, or they may reduce the proportion of payment. This is not because of their conscience, nor because they have become good people, but because I have been here. Fairies must not be careless. "

Chen Qingning was stunned.

Just at this moment, the light in the room suddenly dimmed.

"Fellow Taoist, do you want to leave?"

Mo Chuan followed the sound and saw the person standing at the door. He raised his eyebrows and said, "There are friends coming from afar. Some are far away to greet you. I am disrespectful and disrespectful!"

"Yan Xianwu?!"

A voiceless exclamation came, and Chen Qingning covered her mouth in surprise and looked at the visitor with an expression of disbelief.

"Does this donor recognize the young monk?" Fang Ji looked surprised.

"Ah, you are really... that... I am Chen Qingning, I am paying my respects to the monk. It was also a coincidence that I saw the monk from a distance at the Tianlan Party."

Chen Qingning's face turned red and she was so excited that she couldn't express it in words.

"Amitabha, that's how it is."

Yan Xianwu put his hands together and saluted.

Chen Qingning returned the gift and deliberately stayed, but her rationality told her that Yan Xianwu's visit at this time was probably related to the owner of Xiaoyao Pavilion. She did not want to get into trouble, so she naturally left quickly and avoided.

Before leaving, the eyes he looked at Mo Chuan became more and more resentful.

——Who would have thought that this master actually knows the closed disciple of Eye-Opening Arhat, and it sounds like they are quite close to each other.

"I feel ashamed to say that the young monk's common name is not Fangji, but Yan Xianwu. He was running for his life that day, so he didn't dare to reveal his real name."

"After reading the Di newspaper, I can understand."

Mo Chuan pointed to the newspaper in his residence, then waved his hand, closed the door, and invited Yan Xianwu to come and serve tea to the guests.

Yan Xianwu sat on the futon, looking at the front page of the residence newspaper on the table, and said with joy: "The young monk is here to congratulate you."

"Why is there joy?"

"Master already knows about the matter of fellow Taoist, and has ordered His Majesty King Kong to investigate the matter thoroughly."

"Haha, the emperor is not guilty, it is all the eunuch's fault."

Mo Chuan smiled coldly.

Yan Xianwu's expression froze slightly when he heard this.

"Fellow Taoist has misunderstood. Master has been in seclusion all year round, meditating on the Buddha's fruition, and rarely shows up. Naturally, he doesn't know how rotten it is. If Taoist friends hadn't spoken out and dared to remonstrate, I would have been kept in the dark."

"Buddha?" Mo Chuan looked surprised and changed the subject calmly, not bothering to argue about Buddhist rule.

"Do you know the secret of the Arhat Golden Immortal?" Yan Xianwu asked with a mysterious face.

"Also ask the mage to teach me."

"Fellow Taoist, do you know why Master accepted me as his disciple?"

"I don't know."

"Because the young monk is good at the way of talismans."

"Please let the mage speak clearly."

"The way of talismans involves the laws of the movement of heaven and earth. Those who are proficient in the way of talismans are more likely to understand the great way. The secret of the Arhat Golden Immortal is exactly the law of heaven and earth. We who seek Buddha can only master the laws of heaven and earth, turn the void into reality, and condense Only by attaining Buddhahood can one live on the great road, become immortal, and attain the status of Arhat."

Yan Xianwu added: "In the Tao Sect, this is the Tao Fruit."

Mo Chuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his heart beating so fast that his mouth went dry.

"I once read in a Buddhist scripture that Buddha has four fruits. Could it be that if you realize all four fruits, you can achieve the status of Arhat?"

Mo Chuan asked, pretending to be calm.

If you think about it carefully, the four fruits of Buddhism are: the first fruit is Sotapanna, the second fruit is Stragama, the third fruit is Anagami, and the fourth fruit is Arhat.

The fourth of these fruits clearly corresponds to the current Arhat status.

“I didn’t expect fellow Taoists to understand Buddhism!”

Yan Xianwu praised: "Yes, if you pick all the four fruits, you can achieve Arhat status."

“If you only pick one fruit, what does it count?”

"The first fruit of Sotapanna, also known as the pre-flow fruit, is the first sight of the truth, which is the fruit of enlightenment. If you can understand the first fruit, you can be an enlightened person, and you are not far away from the Arhat status!"

"Buddha has four fruits, what about the door?"

"Master once said that if you follow the path of your predecessors, you need to understand the twelve chapters, one is the text, the other is the magical talisman, the third is the jade formula, the fourth is the spiritual map, the fifth is the record, the sixth is the precepts, and the seventh is the majesty. The eight are methods, the ninth are spells, the ten are biographies, the eleven are praises, and the twelfth are chapters and tables.”

"However, Taoism pays attention to sudden enlightenment. It is said that many golden immortals do not follow the rules. Once they have sudden enlightenment, they can directly pick the Tao fruit. "Dong Xuan Ling Bao Sutra" says: The four directions have achieved Tao, and the secondary Tao fruit has not been obtained. Already achieved the fruit of Taoism.”

Speaking of this, Yan Xianwu shook his head:
"The young monk is still confused about this and doesn't know what to say. Everything is what the master said. If the young monk remembers it wrong, don't be surprised, fellow Taoist."

"You're welcome. The mage told Pindao such a secret thing. How can Pindao blame him?"

Mo Chuan replied politely, but couldn't help but ask about the difference between Buddha Fruit and Tao Fruit.

Yan Xian and Wu Zhi all talk about everything.

In other words, these things he said are not so much secrets as they are just little-known among the Arhats.

Even if it is spread all over the world, it is meaningless to most monks.

Because there is no guidance from previous scriptures, we can only seek to realize the great way through enlightenment. However, how can the way of Arhat and Golden Immortal be easily understood?

As for the scriptures of the past, they have long been controlled by major forces, and ordinary monks have no access to them. Even if they can access them, without talent and luck, they will eventually fall short.

After all, the skills and magical powers of true immortals are almost semi-public. How many people have reached the realm of true immortals?

"A Taoist friend once said that the Buddha's fruit can turn the void into reality. Doesn't this mean that this thing is just like the golden elixir, which can be picked by others?"

Mo Chuan casually inserted a sentence among the large number of questions.

When Yan Xianwu heard this, his expression immediately became serious: "Tao is friendly to understanding. Master once sternly told me that since ancient times, the Dharma has been passed down like a thread. If you realize the Buddha's fruition, you should act cautiously and don't let them know, otherwise His life may be in danger."

"This..." Mo Chuan had a look of horror on his face, half-surprised and half-pretending: "Is the Dao Fruit really obtainable?"

"Now that the emptiness has been transformed into reality, it can naturally be taken away. Although it cannot be taken as one's own, it can still be used to understand the great truth." Yan Xianwu looked serious.

"Master is so open and honest, do you know that Pindao is a disciple of the Taoist sect?" Mo Chuan asked suddenly.

"Hahaha, Buddha has no form. Although Taoist disciples are Taoist disciples, their words and deeds can be called Buddhas. How can a young monk think otherwise?" Yan Xianwu laughed.

Mo Chuan was startled, and a complex emotion emerged from his heart.

But he didn't expect that the risk he took before running away would actually lead to Yan Xianwu's friendship.

Of course, whether it is a true friendship or a fake friendship depends on careful consideration.

The two enjoyed tea and talked for a long time.

At the end, Yan Xianwu suddenly said: "I have a request for you, young monk. I wonder if you can grant it?"

Are you here?
Mo Chuan sighed in his heart and said calmly: "Master, please speak."

"Fellow Taoist, after reading the Di Bao, you should know the life experience of a poor Taoist. Master once said that the world of mortals refines the heart, but it is also easy to be contaminated by demons. In order to intentionally kill the demons on behalf of the disciples, he specially sent King Kong to find out where the demons are and eliminate them. future trouble.

Do fellow Taoists have time to take this trip for the young monk?Master wants to clean up the Lumpi hub, but there is a shortage of people with lofty ideals and benevolence to take charge of the overall situation. Taoist friends may be able to take charge of one or two things based on their merits. "
