The Great Wei Music Bureau

Chapter 41 Monk Fruit (Part )

Last time, we talked about how Jiyun successfully convinced Gongsun Yi by telling him about his past life with Gongsun Chan for five hundred years, and Gongsun Chan proposed to build a small courtyard halfway up the mountain. So where will the plot develop next? Let's take a look together.

Zhengyuan and his party left the prime minister's residence and returned to Xishan Temple. This time, Xishan Temple could be said to be famous, of course, this reputation had both good and bad sides.

The good thing is that there are two Vajras in one temple, which makes Xishan Temple surpass Galan Temple on the western border of Wei Dynasty and become the number one Buddhist temple in Wei Dynasty; the bad thing is that Buddhism actually has a Vajra who has a wife, which makes Jiyun, Gongsun Chan and Xishan Temple regarded as outliers.

Jiyun was said to be a lecherous monk and a demon who had sneaked into Buddhism to cheat for Buddhist magic powers; Gongsun Chan was said to be a shameless whore who had repeatedly seduced Jiyun just because he was handsome; some even said that she and Jiyun were demons who had sneaked into Buddhism to revive the demon race and destroy Buddhism from within; and Xishan Temple was also said to be a den of thieves, saying that none of the monks there were good people, either thieves or lustful and greedy, and Xishan Temple was pushed to the forefront of the storm...

There were all kinds of rumors, which naturally brought a lot of trouble to Xishan Temple. The monks would be talked about behind their backs when they went down the mountain to beg for alms or preach the scriptures. Jiyun was even regarded as a shame of Buddhism by pilgrims for a time.

Now, Jiyun would not appear in the front yard of Xishan Temple except for the morning and evening classes. He only appeared in the back mountain and the Sutra Library. Of course, he was still with Gongsun Chan most of the time. The two of them did not go down the mountain and lived in the back mountain for the time being, so the rumors did not reach Gongsun Chan's ears.

Their courtyard was under construction, and the money was provided by Gongsun Yi. As a father, he would never want his daughter to suffer, so he was very generous. The plan was to build a unique courtyard for the two of them, with a pavilion in the front and a vegetable garden and a mountain spring in the back. The design was quite exquisite.

Back to these rumors, Master Zhengyuan, in line with the Buddhist idea that the four elements are empty, ignored the rumors, but Zhengjue could not stand it. It was not that his Buddhist teachings were not deep enough or his Buddhist heart was not firm enough, but he had to receive pilgrims and could not explain the matter of Jiyun and Gongsun Chan to them all day long. Besides, even if he said it, people might not believe it.

Later, when he was really annoyed, he found Zhengyuan and said, "Brother! We can't just let this matter go! Now people are saying everything about us, and you are just ignoring it. I can't do that. I am the one who deals with pilgrims and believers all day long! You have to think about me! If you are unwilling to come forward to clarify, then you should find someone else to be the abbot. I can't do it anymore!"

Zheng Yuan smiled and said, "Brother, please be patient. These rumors will pass in a few days. Just be patient for a while!"

"Brother, you don't care about anything! You should know that our incense money has been reduced by half these days! Disciples who go down the mountain to beg for alms and preach the scriptures are often turned away, and even stoned. If this continues, the monks in our Xishan Temple will run away without the court having to cut monks!"

Zheng Yuan sighed, "Alas, Junior Brother, it's not that I don't want to intervene, but there are so many people saying this, and Senior Brother can't do anything about it!" Zheng Jue's eyes turned and he had an idea. He smiled and said, "Senior Brother, if you can't do anything, you can go ask someone who can!"

"Who has a solution?"

"Brother, go find Junior Brother! Junior Brother is very talented and will definitely be able to help us solve this problem! He is also from Xishan Temple and will not ignore it. As long as you open your mouth and ask him, it will definitely work!"

Zhengyuan was a little hesitant. He was not sure if he could ask Li Yi for help. Besides, Li Yi needed to rest since they parted last time. Although ten days had passed, he did not know how Li Yi had recovered now. Besides, Li Yi still lived in the Exiled Immortal Tower. How could he find Li Yi?

This is a very troublesome matter. It is not convenient for Jiyun to go down the mountain now, and for the time being there is really no decent person or reason to go to the brothel to find Li Yi.

Just as he was hesitating, Zhengyuan's heart suddenly moved. He clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name. He felt that it was a ray of divine thought from Bodhisattva Guangsheng that came to him. The general meaning was, I have placed a treasure in your meditation room. You take it to make a deal with Li Yi in exchange for his "Diamond Sutra".

Zhengyuan hurried back to the meditation room and found something wrapped in a cassock on the table. He opened it carefully and found that it was a monk fruit!

Zhengyuan and Zhengjue were both shocked. Zhengjue asked, "Brother, is this Luo Han Guo? Where did it come from? What's going on?" Zhengyuan bowed to the west and chanted the Buddha's name, then wrapped the Luo Han Guo and said to Zhengjue, "This is the order from Bodhisattva Guangsheng, asking me to exchange this Luo Han Guo for my little brother's Diamond Sutra!"

Zhengjue was confused and sighed, "Ah, little junior brother, little junior brother, why are you always like this... Oh, forget it, senior brother, then just send someone to invite little junior brother to the mountain, first to exchange scriptures, and second to deal with the rumor!"

Zhengyuan nodded in agreement, so Monk Duming was ordered to go down the mountain and go to the Exiled Immortal Tower in the capital to invite Li Yi back to Xishan Temple.

Li Yi lay in bed for five days, and was able to take care of himself. After resting for ten days, he finally recovered his energy and spirit, of course, thanks to Shiyu's careful care. During this time, Dugu Yu and Nangong Qi also came to visit him, and wanted to perform the ceremony of becoming Li Yi's disciples, but Li Yi turned hostile on the spot and ordered people to coax them out.

Of course, they were all joking. Li Yi had already told them clearly that he was not the one who could teach them the Vajra Power. If they wanted to practice this magical power, they would have to get approval from Bodhisattva Guangsheng and Buddha Tathagata to have a chance.

Yu Qi and the other two also understood the real intention and stopped begging for mercy, but the two princes had other ideas about Li Yi: Dugu Yu learned that Li Yi had helped Monk Jiyun achieve the extraordinary realm again, and thought that Li Yi was really extraordinary. He first helped Monk Shuide break through, and then helped Jiyun achieve the golden body. He planned to introduce his brother Dugu Long to Li Yi to see if there was a chance to help his brother achieve the extraordinary realm as well.

Nangong Qi heard that Li Yi helped Jiyun and Gongsunchan get rid of the shackles of the world and be able to spend the rest of their lives together. He remembered what Aunt Yun had mentioned to him and wanted Li Yi to help his sister open her mind and see what she really thought. The two of them started their own plans with their own ideas...

Back to Li Yi, during these ten days he had been thinking about one thing: Is this Buddhist Vajra Divine Art a bit useless? I can't just use it once and then lie down for ten days! I have to think of a way to solve this problem, otherwise if I use the Golden Gun once every ten days, then there will be little difference between having this Vajra Divine Art and not having it!

Just when he was thinking about how to improve the Golden Spear, someone reported that there was a monk outside the gate who said he was Du Ming from Xishan Temple and wanted to meet Master Li. It was better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early, so Li Yi went downstairs immediately, and Shi Yu followed him hurriedly, because she was afraid that her lover would have another accident.

Du Ming saw Li Yi coming outside the gate of the Exiled Immortal Tower and bowed, "Uncle Junior Master, I am honored to meet you." Li Yi returned the greeting and said, "Why did the old monk ask you to come? Is there something you need my help for? Tell him to come to me if he has any problems in the future. Why did he ask you, a junior, to come to me? Does he look down on me, his junior brother in the secular world?"

Li Yi said this not to show off, but to raise the price and get more benefits. He knew that if there was nothing particularly important, Zhengyuan would definitely not send anyone to find him.

Du Ming looked embarrassed and whispered something in Li Yi's ear. Li Yi was shocked and asked, "Really? Bodhisattva Guangsheng has issued an edict?"

Du Ming nodded and said, "Uncle Junior, how can I lie? I know your ability. You are the most powerful person in the temple besides the abbot and my master. I guess something big must have happened, otherwise the Bodhisattva would not have passed on the Dharma to the abbot!"

When Shi Yu heard this, she immediately refused to do it and said angrily, "You bald ass, you are trying to trick Li Lang into going up the mountain again! Li Lang can't go this time no matter what! We can't be fooled by these bald ass again!"

Li Yi comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll take you with me this time, don't worry." Li Yi's idea was that Gongsun Chan, that damn girl, had shown off their affection in front of him before, and this time he wanted to take Shiyu with him to get back at her!

So Li Yi said, "Du Ming, you go back first, I will be there soon. Oh, and ask Ji Yun to bring Xiao Chan to greet me, you hear? They must be there! Otherwise, I will not agree to help you in any way!"

Du Ming nodded and left. Li Yi took Shi Yu's hand and said, "Go and dress up. Put on your most beautiful clothes and your best jewelry. Show your presence to me! And Yue'er and Xing'er too! Go and dress up!"

Xingyue and the others asked in confusion, "Mr. Li, what does 'tidiness' mean?"

"Ah, it means to dress up, but it's just a more elegant way of saying it."

The two were half-believing and half-doubting. The word "dressed up" did not sound like elegance at all, but since Li Yi had spoken, they had to obey. An hour later, the three of them were dressed up gorgeously. Shiyu wore a red and white long dress and a Vermillion Bird hairpin on her head. She was as beautiful as a fairy. Yue'er and Xing'er also dressed up carefully and wore the best and most expensive dresses.

Li Yi looked at the three of them, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Good! Good! Good! Remember, when you get to Xishan Temple, you must do everything according to my instructions. There is a Gongsun Chan there who calls me a lecher all the time. I want to let her see that even if I am a lecher, I will not take advantage of her!

"Remember, you are here to support me, so behave in a dignified and polite manner, and don't disturb the tranquility of the Buddhist temple! Do you hear me?"

Shiyu and the other two finally understood Li Yi's intention of bringing them there. Shiyu asked, "Li Lang, should we bring a few guards with us? Wouldn't that be more impressive?"

Li Yi thought that he really didn't need to bring any guards now. Although he was not good at fighting, with the Vajra Magic, ordinary people would definitely not be able to hurt him, and protecting the three girls was no problem, so he said, "No, it's useless to bring guards. Those two Vajras in Xishan Temple, who dares to use force there, that's courting death. Besides, they begged us, and they can still let us get into trouble. It's okay, let's go!"

Let's fast forward to the carriage and horse segment as usual. Li Yi brought Shiyu and Xingyue to the foot of Shangxi Mountain. Looking at the mountain road, and then looking back at the three people in gorgeous clothes, his head began to hurt.

The three women were not dressed properly for mountain climbing. They were wearing their favorite and most expensive clothes. If they were not careful and their clothes were torn, wouldn't they cry for days? How could they bear this? It was not worth it! Should they ask someone to carry them up the mountain? Should they ask someone to carry them up the mountain? This also seemed inappropriate. Li Yi was in a dilemma.

Looking at the long mountain road, Li Yi suddenly had an idea. He said to Shiyu and the other two, "Your clothes are not suitable for walking on the mountain road. I have a solution. It is a magic skill I learned in the temple. Don't be afraid or shout when you see it. I will take you up! Remember not to be afraid!"

Li Yi repeatedly warned them, and the three nodded in agreement. Li Yi then recited the mantra of the Diamond Sutra, put his hands together, and a 50-meter-tall, six-armed Acalanatha statue solidified. Yue'er screamed on the spot, but fortunately Shiyu blocked her mouth in time and said angrily: "Didn't Li Lang say, don't be afraid, don't scream! If you scream again, I'll break your legs!"

Yue Er suppressed her fear and said in a trembling voice: "This is a Buddhist magic skill. It looks scary. How can it be a Buddha statue?" Shi Yu explained: "You are ignorant. This is the image of Acala, the guardian deity of Buddhism who exorcises demons and monsters. Of course, he will not look kind when dealing with demons and monsters!"

Yue'er nodded. Xing'er tugged at Shiyu's dress tightly, also frightened. Li Yi finished reading the scripture and said with a smile: "You are so considerate. Come on, I'll take you up the mountain." The purple gold Dharma image stretched out three arms, lifted up the three people, and walked up the mountain step by step. Li Yi deliberately controlled the Dharma image to walk very steadily. After walking for a long time, he could finally see the temple gate. Li Yi put the three people down, put away the Dharma image, took a few breaths, and felt the consumption of his mental power. It was not bad. It was just walking on the mountain road and it didn't consume much...
