Zhihua Temple, also known as "Zhihua Zen Temple for Repaying Enemy", is located in the east of Beijing and has a history of more than 200 years since its completion.
This temple covers a total area of more than 30 acres, facing south, with several towers, over a hundred buildings, and many monks
If you want to compare this Zhihua Temple to If it is an "enterprise", it is considered to be running very well. Even if it is compared to the Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, it is still not far behind.
But these days, the temple is not peaceful.
First, ten months ago, several monks disappeared mysteriously
At first, the monks did not take it too seriously, because this kind of thing is very common in temples with a large number of people. It is common that almost every year some people run away and return to secular life without saying goodbye because they cannot bear the poor life of monks.
But later, it was not just the monks who disappeared, some people also came to the door, saying that their family members had never seen anyone since they came to the temple to offer incense one day.
However, since no one was seen alive or dead, there was no definite answer to this matter in the end. After all, there was no evidence to prove whether they disappeared in the temple or after leaving the temple. Even the government couldn't find out why.
Later, in the last seven or eight days, some monks went crazy in the temple. I don’t know whether these people were frightened or ate the wrong thing. Anyway, they suddenly became crazy. They behave strangely and sometimes are very aggressive; please ask a doctor to see them. Even the doctor was injured by them. The other monks had no choice but to temporarily imprison these "crazy monks" to see if they can control themselves. Get better.
At this time, a few old monks with some supernatural powers in the temple said, "Our Zhihua Temple may be troubled by goblins."
Look Some people may find it strange that the Buddhist Pure Land can also cause trouble with goblins
Monkeys have also caused trouble in the Lingxiao Palace. Isn’t the "Monkey King" also a goblin?
To put it bluntly, whether you can cause trouble depends on whether the party making trouble is strong enough. As long as it is strong enough, demons can also enter the church. Holy water is used as vodka. Pole dancing on the statue of Jesus is too far away. Anyway, that’s it. mean.
Let’s get down to business and talk about today.
Early in the morning, Master Rencan, an eminent monk from Zhihua Temple, came out of the temple to buy some things.
Said to be an eminent monk, but in fact Rencan is not very old, just in his early forties, and can be regarded as the Mesozoic in the temple; Rencan's master is the current abbot of Zhihua Temple, Zen Master "Neng Ze". He is one of the "old monks with some supernatural powers" we mentioned above.
Ren Can came out today for no other reason than to buy some things that might be used to eliminate demons under the orders of his master, because with the existing things and methods in their temple, it was obviously already done. Not sure.
Unexpectedly, Rencan had just bought a few things and was walking on the street. By chance, he met Liang Jingshuo.
Rencan also learned a little bit from his master, so when he looked at him from a distance, he was startled by Liang Jingshuo and thought to himselfThis kid has a sinister aura about him and he doesn't look like a human being at all. I can't let him go.
This monk was really a bit reckless. He took advantage of the fact that he still had the "props" he just bought in his bag, so he stepped forward and stopped Liang Jingxuan, hoping to slay the demon. magic.
Liang Jingxuan was stunned when he saw such a person suddenly popping up, and asked, "Monk, what are you doing?"
Everyone, what he said was very good. You're welcome.
In those days, even a street kid with little education would be able to foresee the trend when he saw a monk like Rencan who came from a big temple and was very particular about the fabrics of his brightly dressed monk robes and cassocks. The person who makes the helm respectfully address him as "Master" or "Master".
But Liang Jingxuan said "monk" as soon as he opened his mouth, and he had no intention of giving any face to the other party.
Then he has no eyesight or is uneducated and uncultured
Neither.
Just don’t deal with the monk.
Although monks and Taoists are both monks, they are indeed enemies in many cases.
It is normal for Liang Jingxuan, an alternative to the corpse exorcism sect, to have a bad attitude towards monks. Besides, these monks in Zhihua Temple actually don’t like Taoist priests very much.
As soon as Rencan heard the other party speak like this, he felt a little offended. At that time, he replied in a deep voice, "Why? I think there is something evil in you kid."
" Ah," Liang Jingxuan raised his eyebrows, "There's a ghost in me," he said, looking the other person up and down, "I think you're the one with the ghost."
His words were not nonsense. Because there was something really wrong in Zhihua Temple, Rencan also had some evil spirits in his body.
The two of them started to quarrel after going back and forth like this.
After arguing and arguing, Rencan even took out the things in his bag, wondering if it would work if he "transcended" the "evil" in front of him on the street
But no matter what , the quarrel between the two people must have attracted the attention of the people; in this capital city, the eyes of various forces are everywhere, and the news naturally spreads very quickly, so it didn't take long for the companions of both sides to receive the news and rush to the scene in a hurry Come.
On Liang Jingshuo's side, because everyone happened to have nothing to do today, Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai, Lin Yuancheng, Linghuxiang, Qin Feng, Tyrell, and Fudozi came to visit. All the bits are here.
They were not the only ones, because the national master Yan Danzi and the "prostitute saint" Yu Jianli were also at the post house when the incident happened, these two people also came to join in the fun.
As for Rencan, I won’t introduce them one by one here. Anyway, the group of monks who came, led by a few middle-level people with the same "ren" character as him, and their subordinates " There are also many junior monks from the generation with the character "sage" and the character "fruit".
There were dozens of people on both sides, and they formed a formation on the street, as if they were ready to "take over" their grievances.
The people who came to watch were so happy. Think about it, these monks, Taoist priests, and knights were fighting in the streets.After watching this lively scene, the neighbors could not help but add to their jealousy and nagging for a year and a half.
Unfortunately, the fight did not end.
Because when Shuangxie revealed his identity as the "Celestial Protector of the Country" and the gold medal bestowed by him, the monks immediately lost three points, and when they revealed that Liang Jingxuan was the corpse exorcist After the explanation, even Rencan himself felt that it was a misunderstanding.
Seeing that the monks were a bit unable to get off the stage, Yan Danzi stepped forward as a national master to smooth things over and gave the other side a step. Naturally, Rencan and the others quickly followed suit. The slope went down.
After the "misunderstanding" between the two parties was resolved, they went to Zhihua Temple together.
Some people may want to ask after seeing this, since the conflict has subsided, why don't they go their separate ways and go back to their respective places?
It's simple, because Fuzi and Yandan After Zi arrived at the scene, he looked across and found that Liang Jingxuan had not misjudged that it was not just Ren Can who was standing across from him, but that almost all the monks were contaminated with evil spirits to a greater or lesser extent.
Then it was obvious that there was indeed a problem in Zhihua Temple. We had to go and have a look, so they went back with the monks.
It was difficult for Rencan and the others to refuse the requests made by Yan Danzi and others.
First of all, their temple needs to get rid of demons, so it is not a bad thing to have "foreign aid" take the initiative to come to the door.
Secondly, even though they may still be conflicted by the little grudge between Buddhism and Taoism, they are now both the "Celestial Master of the Country" and a true general of the National Master. To keep these people away, it is the senior people in the temple who should take action, not the middle-level people like them who are benevolent people.
Therefore, no matter what, it is better to take the person back first and leave the unpleasant words to the abbot.
To make a long story short, it didn’t take long for the two of them to arrive at the Zhihua Temple together.
At this time, it is 6 o'clock in the morning.
At this time on weekdays, the area outside the main hall of Zhihua Temple is open to the public. People can come in and out freely and come to the main hall to offer incense and pray for blessings; if you have a distinguished status or are willing to use it more For money, you can also go to the back hall to find an eminent monk to receive you alone and ask you about Buddhist scriptures, which is the so-called treatment.
However, due to many incidents in the temple some time ago, Zhihua Temple has been closed to the public in recent days.
Today at Sishi, two eminent monks of the "Neng" generation are giving lectures to the monks in the Zhihua Hall, the main hall of Zhihua Temple, which is equivalent to the Main Hall of ordinary temples.
As they talked, along with a burst of noise, they welcomed a group of uninvited guests.
The two masters "Neng Ming" and "Neng Zhi" who were sitting in the temple faced the outside of the temple. They were the first to notice the approaching crowd, but they were eminent monks after all. He remained calm and continued to lecture calmly.
On the contrary, many of the young monks who were listening to the sutras below were quickly attracted by the noise coming from behind.Attracted attention, distracted and turned around.
"Everyone, please wait for a moment. When the two masters finish speaking, the poor monk will enter the hall to deliver a message." Rencan, who was outside the hall, walked to the Zhihua Hall. He stopped at the door, turned his head and spoke softly to the "guests".
Who would have thought that the oldest Fudozi here, who should have been the most stable, actually replied to him at this time: "Why are you waiting for the evil spirit to ride on your face, why are you just talking about it?" "Shit!"
Fudoko used a loud voice and spoke out the curse-like remarks without hesitation.
At this time, the two eminent monks Nengming and Nengzhi had to stop even if they didn’t want to.
“Amitabha.” Nengming interrupted his lecture, chanted the Buddha’s name softly, and then went to the hall. The people at the door said, "Who is making noise outside?"
"I" Fuzi said, walked in through the door, stood there, raised his chest and raised his head towards the two old men sitting in the hall. The monk shouted, "Wawushan, Xuanqi Sect, Fuzi."
Neng Mingzhi looked at it, and thought that this "small path" only looks like a man in his twenties, how can he be so rude
The two of them immediately turned their attention to Rencan and other monks of the Ren family in front of the temple, wanting to know who these people they brought were.
Rencan also understood what his two uncles meant, so he quickly followed him, saluting and saying, "Amitabha, two uncles, this Taoist priest Fudozi was recently ennobled by the emperor. One of the Heavenly Masters protecting the country said that he was coming to the temple to catch monsters. I hope my uncle will forgive me for being so rude."
"Oh" Neng Ming and Neng Zhi heard "The Heavenly Masters protecting the country." "With these four words, his expression also changed slightly.
Obviously, the monks at Zhihua Temple have also heard about the rumors about these "Heavenly Masters", but they did not expect that these people would come to their temple today. Noisy.
After a breath of "Xiaodao, you are really", I still don't believe in the intelligence, so I want to confirm it with Fuzi himself.
"Stop talking nonsense." But Fuzi couldn't stand the old monk's slow and hesitant way of speaking, and interrupted directly, "There are four demons around you, and Xianxin follows you. I'm just here slowly grinding my tongue."
After saying that, he jumped up and flew over the heads of the hundreds of monks sitting cross-legged in the hall. Arriving at the side of the main hall.
In the Zhihua Hall, there are three Buddha statues of Sakyamuni Buddha, Infinite Buddha, and Medicine Buddha in the center. On both sides are wooden lacquered gold seated statues of Eighteen Arhats. Now Fuzzy is coming to them. In front of an Arhat statue, he punched him.
At that moment, there was only a "boom", like falling wood and flying dust.
Just when the monks inside and outside the temple were shocked by Fudoko's sudden "disrespectful" act, and were about to become angry
Suddenly the collapsed Arhat statue In the middle, a stream of black smoke actually came out, and condensed into a monster-like air ball in the air, and then escaped with a roar of "Woo"Went.
This scene of "punching a wooden arhat and seeing the shadow of a demon in the dust" really shocked everyone.
However, Fudozi’s actions have just begun
