Last time we talked about how Li Yi made a deal with Guanyin Bodhisattva and obtained the Buddhist Thousand Hands magical power, but he could only understand it after he entered Buddhism. Let us wait and see how the story will develop next.

Li Yi opened his eyes and found Ji Yun meditating on the ground. He was startled and scolded him, "How can you be so rude, monk? I didn't even open the door, how dare you come in without permission!"

Jiyun quickly stood up, bowed and apologized, saying, "I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, Junior Master. I just came to ask for your advice. When I was at the door, I noticed that you were filled with Buddhist teachings. I was touched and decided to come in to learn about Buddhism."

Li Yi thought, could it be that the little monk felt the communication between himself and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva? Then the Dharma should be the Bodhisattva's magical power manifested inadvertently, or did the Bodhisattva intend to enlighten this little monk?

Li Yi asked, "Have you realized anything?" "Uncle Junior Master, I am stupid. I only felt the word cause and effect." Li Yi stood up suddenly and said, "Cause and effect? ​​Have you felt the great compassion and cause and effect of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva?"

Jiyun shook his head and said, "I have seen the Dharma image of Acala, but in comparison, it is just the two words of cause and effect. I have never seen the Dharma image of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. Could it be that you have seen it, little master?"

Li Yi nodded and said, "Of course I have seen it."

Jiyun said with admiration: "Little Master Uncle is really amazing. May I ask when you plan to become a monk? I want to stay by your side, listen to your teachings, and understand the Dharma."

Li Yi looked at Jiyun with a squinting eye and asked, "Did that old bald ass Zhengyuan ask you to ask and say this?"

"Little Master, please stop calling me Master. When you shave your head, you will be bald too! Master just wants me to stay with you. Don't worry about anything else. I will follow your instructions."

"Oh, then go and help me kill someone."

Ji Yun was stunned for a moment, then calmly said, "Amitabha, if it is a very evil person, it is not that I cannot kill him. It is not that I have never killed someone before. Please tell me, Junior Master, who do you want to kill?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Yuwen Ye is a descendant of the Yuwen family of the Great Wei. When he failed to seduce a commoner girl, he used various means to persecute her. Can this kind of person be considered a bad person?"

"If it is true as Junior Uncle-Master said, he is indeed a bad guy, but he is a descendant of the Yuwen family after all. If he is beaten and killed, I am afraid it will cause big trouble later."

"Trouble? Afraid of trouble? Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva made a great wish to save the evil spirits in hell. Is he afraid of trouble? Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva made a great wish to save all living beings. Is he afraid of trouble? I just asked you to kill a bad guy, but you are afraid of trouble! What kind of compassion are you talking about? What kind of Buddha are you practicing? What kind of righteousness are you getting!"

This is a major characteristic of contemporary people, they can talk about profound principles very clearly!

Jiyun was speechless after being scolded. He could only bow his head and said, "Amitabha, I know I was wrong. I don't have the courage of a Bodhisattva, and I am not good at practicing the Dharma. If Junior Master really wants to kill him, then I will go. At most, I will feed the tiger with my own body, and I will not bring any trouble to the temple."

Li Yi sighed, "What do you mean I really want to kill him? He has no grudge against me, why would I kill him? I just can't stand him. Besides, I have saved the woman he persecuted, so there shouldn't be any difficulty for the time being. I am just worried that Yuwen Ye will do something bad again, so I just said it casually."

"Uncle Junior Master, you have already taken action? That's right. With your compassion, you will definitely not ignore it. I am really far behind you."

Li Yi wanted to give Ji Yun a slam, but he was afraid of hurting his hand, so he refrained from doing so and sighed, "Hey, Ji Yun, what do you think of love between men and women?"

Jiyun blushed all of a sudden, and said while touching his bald head, "Little Master, why are you talking about love between men and women again? This disciple really doesn't understand."

Li Yi patted Jiyun's bald head and said, "What do you want to ask me?" "Disciple wants to ask about the Diamond Sutra that Junior Uncle talked about today."

Li Yi walked out of the meditation room, and Jiyun followed him. Li Yi said, "The young monk and the old monk must have become greedy! Go back and tell that old bald donkey that if he wants the true scriptures, he has to ask for them! I just finished teaching you the way to spread the scriptures in the evening class, and he still wants to get it for free! Have some shame!"

Ji Yun was confused and asked, "Uncle Junior Master, what does freeloading mean?"

Li Yi slapped Ji Yun on the bald head, then blew on his hands and cursed: "You little bald donkey, your head is too hard! Go back and find me a ruler that fits my hand. I will hurt you when I hit you!"

Jiyun nodded. Li Yi saw that he was sincere and humble. Thinking of the Bodhisattva's actions, he said, "Don't think about the Diamond Sutra. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll teach you to sing the Great Compassion Mantra."

Jiyun smiled again and followed Li Yi to learn the Great Compassion Mantra...

The next day, after morning classes, Li Yi was still asleep, but the Xishan Temple was already crowded with pilgrims coming in an endless stream, and the monks were still busy. However, after listening to Li Yi's talk last night about the way of preaching the scriptures being a matter of human relations, they all wanted to give it a try today, so they were busy in a very different way from usual, and their words and actions all felt like those of masters, which was very intriguing.

Seeing the changes in the monks, Zhengyuan and Zhengjue smiled at each other. Zhengyuan asked, "Brother, if Xiuyuan enters Buddhism, what do you think if I let him become the abbot?"

"Yes! Of course there is, Senior Brother, you have to make room for Xiu Yuan! If you take charge of this household and don't care about anything, and push everything onto me, I'll be exhausted!

Look at Xiuyuan again. He gave an evening class and you can see that all the disciples are very motivated. Why do I need to remind them again and again?

If you ask me, brother, why don't we just shave off Xiuyuan's three thousand strands of hair and make him the abbot!" "Brother, don't joke like that. Monks don't tell lies."

"This is not a lie, Brother, I am serious..."

Just as the two were talking, a woman with luxurious clothes and outstanding appearance walked into the main hall, followed by three maids. To be precise, she was walking towards Zhengyuan.

Seeing this, Zhengjue said, "Brother, the donor Gongsun is here to talk to you. You broke the appointment last time because of Xiuyuan. You can't break the appointment again this time! Xiuyuan said that this is a matter of favor!"

Zheng Yuan smiled and said, "Junior brother, why do I feel that you have been more active recently? I'm afraid you have been led astray by Xiu Yuan's bad habits."

Zhengjue rolled his eyes at Zhengyuan, walked up to the visitor, chanted a Buddhist name, bowed, and said, "Amitabha, my brother is free today, Mr. Gongsun, please follow me."

The visitor returned the greeting and walked towards the backyard with Monk Zhengjue with a smile. Zhengyuan shook his head and followed. The beautiful woman asked, "Master Zhengyuan, which important guest visited you last time and made you unable to spare the time to preach to me?"

Zhengyuan smiled and said, "Oh, it's Li Yi. Donor Li is visiting my Xishan Temple. He has a connection with my Buddha and is extremely gifted and intelligent. Now everyone in the temple treats him as a distinguished guest."

"Oh, that Li Yi who defeated Yang Hua, the most talented scholar in Shangjing? He actually has a connection with Buddha?"

Zhengjue interrupted and said, "Donor Gongsun, you don't know that Xiuyuan is really amazing. I wonder if Donor Gongsun can sense any changes in the temple?"

The Gongsun girl looked around and said with a smile, "It has indeed changed a lot. Yesterday, the Buddha's light was so bright that I could see it in Shangjing City. When I came here today and saw the stream of people coming to burn incense, I knew that Xishan Temple is no longer the same as before."

Zhengjue smiled and said, "The Buddha's light is just a temporary spectacle. I don't particularly care about it. But did Mr. Gongsun not notice the changes in the monks in the temple?"

Miss Gongsun recalled the scene when she entered the temple and said with a smile: "Oh, so that's how it is. I was wondering why the monks are so energetic and their speech and behavior are different from before. So it turns out that this is also related to Li Yi?"

Zhengjue laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, not bad! The changes in the Buddha's light and the monks are all due to Xiuyuan. Donor Gongsun, maybe next time you come to worship the Buddha, the one who lectures you will no longer be my senior brother, but Xiuyuan!"

"Oh? Master Li intends to convert to Buddhism. It doesn't seem like that. I heard that he and the new courtesan Wan Shiyu of the Exiled Immortal Tower in Shangjing City are very much in love! He would not be willing to give up such a beauty and become a monk."

Zhengjue said with a smile: "Why would I be reluctant? Xiuyuan is living in the temple now. If there is a chance, I will definitely introduce him to Mr. Gongsun in advance." "Oh, if there is a chance, I really want to meet this talented man who has a connection with Buddha."

"Okay, okay. Donor Gongsun will discuss the scriptures with Brother first. I'll ask Jiyun to go and see if Xiuyuan has woken up. Jiyun is always with Xiuyuan now, and we can't figure out Xiuyuan's temper. Hahaha, only Jiyun can get along well with Xiuyuan. Maybe they have common topics as people of the same age."

"Common topics? Didn't Master Jiyun grow up in the temple? How can he chat with Master Li? What will they talk about?"

"I don't know about this, but I see Xiuyuan and Jiyun get along well. From time to time, I can see them playing around. They are very happy, very happy!"

"Fighting? Isn't Li Yi a Confucianist? How can he learn martial arts from Master Jiyun?"

"Hahaha, it's not a competition, it's just that Li Yi thinks Jiyun is a little stupid, and often hits Jiyun on the head. Master Gongsun, you also know that Jiyun has grasped the essence of the Vajra Divine Art.

Xiuyuan couldn't hurt him even if he used a knife to chop him, but if he used his hands to hit Jiyun, he would always be the one who suffered. That scene was really funny!"

Upon hearing this, an inadvertent smile appeared on Miss Gongsun's face. She walked into the lecture hall, and began to preach to Miss Gongsun while a small Buddha statue was sitting far away.

At this time, Li Yi finally woke up from his coma. Ji Yun smiled and brought breakfast to the table. Li Yi went to the well to wash up and returned to the house. Ji Yun smiled and said, "Uncle Junior Master, the Great Compassion Mantra you taught me last night was really wonderful. I just wonder if I can pass it on to other monks?"

Li Yi said as he ate: "Anyway, I have already taught you. I don't care who you pass on to. I am not your master, why would I care about your business so much!"

"Disciple understands. Thank you, Junior Master."

“How many pilgrims are there today?”

"More, just like yesterday, the brothers are all busy, but after listening to what Junior Uncle said about the way of passing on the scriptures, everyone has changed a lot today."

“Is it getting better or worse?”

"Of course it has gotten better. Everyone is very motivated!"

"Okay then, let's go see how you monks understand human relationships and accidents."

After dinner, Jiyun accompanied Li Yi to the main hall. On the way, Li Yi asked, "Have you found the ruler I asked you to find for me?"

Jiyun said, "Uncle-master, I have looked for the ruler but couldn't find it. Here is a fire stick. Can it be used as a temporary solution?" After saying that, Jiyun took out a black wooden stick from the side and handed it to Li Yi with both hands.

Li Yi picked up the fire stick and hit Jiyun directly on the head. The fire stick broke into two pieces on the spot, leaving a black mark on Jiyun's head. The flying piece hit the door of the room where Miss Gongsun and Zhengyuan were giving a lecture.

The two were startled. Miss Gongsun gave the maid a look. The maid was about to open the door to check. Zhengyuan guessed that Li Yi must be making trouble again, so he quickly stood up to stop him and said, "Don't bother. I think Xiuyuan has woken up and is playing with Jiyun. It's okay. Donor Gongsun, let's continue discussing the scriptures."

"Oh, that Master Li has woken up and is playing with Master Jiyun? Then I must go and see what's going on." After saying that, he stood up and opened the door. At a glance, he saw Li Yi holding a half-broken fire stick against Jiyun's head and scolding him, "I asked you to find me a ruler, but you only found me a fire stick? Why don't you find me a shit-stirring stick! Let me stir up this shit of yours..."
