Ye Qiu looked at Qian Duoduo in surprise. He didn’t expect that this lick dog could say such a profound thing.
”Hahaha…”
Master Du’e burst into laughter.
”Master, do you think my answer is okay?” Qian Duoduo asked.
Master Du’e smiled and said, “Amitabha, the donor’s answer is very good. It seems that the donor has a predestined relationship with my Buddha!”
”That’s right. If there was no predestination, how could I have met the master.” Qian Duoduo giggled.
Ye Qiu took a deep look at Master Du’e. He always felt that the behavior of this old monk was a bit strange.
Could it be that Master Du’e took a fancy to this lick dog?
Want to cross Qian Duoduo into Buddhism?
Ye Qiu hurriedly reminded, “Master, my cousin is the only male of the third generation of the Qian family in Suzhou and Hangzhou. You must not have any ideas about him.”
”Amitabha, Benefactor Ye is too serious. The Buddhist gate only crosses those who are predestined.” Master Du’e glanced at Qian Duoduo and said, “What is meant to be in one’s life will eventually be there; what is not meant to be should not be forcibly sought.”
”What do you mean?” Qian Duoduo asked closely.
Master Du’e smiled slightly and said no more. He made a gesture of invitation and said, “Benefactors, please come in.”
Immediately, several people followed Master Du’e and stepped over the broken temple gate.
Looking around, there was a hundred-year-old bodhi tree in the courtyard, with lush branches and leaves and vitality.
A bronze bell was hung on the thick trunk.
Master, with all due respect, why is your Tianlong Temple so broken? Qian Duoduo asked directly.
Master Du’e smiled and said, “Because the Tianlong Temple that the benefactors see is not the real Tianlong Temple.”
”Oh? Then where is the real Tianlong Temple?”
”The real Tianlong Temple was destroyed hundreds of years ago.”
Ye Qiu: ”…”
Lin Jingzhi: ”…”
Qian Duoduo: ”…”
Master Du’e added, “This temple was built by the old monk and his master through almsgiving.”
Ye Qiu was even more confused. According to the reputation of Master Du’e and Monk Kongjian, if they wanted to rebuild the Tianlong Temple, they only needed to say a word, and many people would help them.
Not to mention, getting a few hundred million to build the temple would definitely not be a problem.
Moreover, the country will also provide funds to help with the construction.
Why is only such a dilapidated temple built?
Master Du’e seemed to see everyone’s doubts and explained, “If the Buddhist pure land is made resplendent and magnificent, with a large number of pilgrims, like doing business, it will go against the original intention of building the temple.
Furthermore, building a temple will surely involve a lot of construction work, consuming labor and wealth.
“Therefore, as long as there is Buddha in the heart, whether the temple is large or small, prosperous or declining, it will not affect the practice.”
Ye Qiu sighed in his heart.
This is a real eminent monk!
Only for cultivation, not for fame and fortune.
Unlike some temples nowadays, which try every means to make money. Some open martial arts schools, some run tourism, and even more extremely, turn the temple into a group operation.
If it weren’t for the fact that there are Buddhas enshrined inside and a group of bald monks, then such a temple would have no difference from a company.
Inside the inner courtyard, there are several meditation rooms.
Among them, at the door of one meditation room, there is a couplet hung.
“The Heavenly Dragon lasts forever, spotless; Perfect and at ease, all realms are empty.”
To the great surprise of Ye Qiu and the others, there are actually no Buddhas and other Bodhisattvas enshrined in this temple.
Ye Qiu immediately asked, “Master, why aren’t there any Bodhisattvas?”
Abbot Du’e put his hands together and said, “Amitabha. The Buddha is always in my heart. As for whether to enshrine him or not, I believe the Buddha will not blame me.”
This is the realm of a great monk!
Ye Qiu sighed inwardly and said, “Master, I would like to pay my respects to Monk Kongjian. I hope you can inform him for me.”
”My master is not here.” said Abbot Du’e.
Ye Qiu was stunned and asked, “Then where is the monk?”
”My master is in the back mountain!”
Abbot Du’e said, “My master was originally practicing here. Yesterday morning, the magpie kept chirping outside the window. My master expected that the benefactor might come to our temple recently. so he went to the back mountain to wait for the donor Ye.
Abbot Du’e added, “When you see my master, you will be able to see the sword manual!”
Ye Qiu told the truth, “Master, to be honest, I’m in a hurry. After returning from Dali, I still have to go to Jinling to compete in medical skills with the Great Korean Medical Saint. So I would like to ask the master to take me to see Monk Kongjian as soon as possible.”
Don’t worry, donor Ye. When my master went to the back mountain, he had already explained that when donor Ye came I should take you to see him.”
Abbot Du’e said to Lin Jingzhi and Qian Duoduo, “Two benefactors, I will take you to the back mountain. Please wait here for a while.
Why don’t you take us with you? Qian Duoduo asked puzzled.
Lin Jingzhi also said with a smile: “The name of the divine monk is known all over the world. I also want to pay my respects to the divine monk.”
Master Du’e said: “It’s not that this old monk is unwilling to take the two benefactors to see the master, but to see the master, one must pass several levels of tests. These levels are quite difficult. The two benefactors should wait here!”
This was something Ye Qiu had expected for a long time.
The Six Meridian Divine Sword is the supreme martial art and the treasure of the Tianlong Temple. It must not be easy for outsiders to obtain it.
Sure enough, the divine monk Kongjian set up a test.
It’s just not known what the specific test is?
”In that case, then cousin, you go to see the divine monk, and I will wait here with sister-in-law.” Qian Duoduo said.
Lin Jingzhi was worried that Ye Qiu would be in danger and whispered a reminder: “Do your best and be careful in everything.”
Ye Qiu smiled and said: “Don’t worry. The divine monk and the master are both highly accomplished and kind-hearted people. They won’t make things difficult for me.”
”Then I trouble the two benefactors to wait here. There are tea and wild fruits in the room. The two benefactors can help themselves. Benefactor Ye, please come with me.”
After saying that, Master Du’e went out through the side door of the courtyard wall.
Ye Qiu followed closely behind.
Master Du’e led Ye Qiu from the mountain all the way to the foot of the mountain, and then walked along the mountain road for a while. Finally, he stopped in front of a mountain peak.
This mountain peak is very short, only a few dozen meters high, and it is bare, with no grass growing on it.
Master Du’e pointed at the mountain peak and said, “Benefactor Ye, the door leading to the back mountain is within this mountain peak. As long as you find the mountain gate and open it, you will have passed the first test of the master.”
”So simple?” Ye Qiu was surprised.
Master Du’e said, “Benefactor Ye, don’t think it’s easy. Back then, it took the old monk a full three years to find the mountain gate, and then another full ten years to open it.”
”Is that so?”
After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he directly opened the Heavenly Eye, and his sight immediately penetrated the mountain peak. Then he took a few steps forward and punched the mountain wall violently.
”Boom!”
The stone burst, and a cave appeared.
Suddenly, Master Du’e’s face was full of shock.
Found it so quickly?
Is he still human?
Then thinking that it took himself thirteen years to open the mountain gate, his old face suddenly turned red.
Just at this time, the mobile phone in Ye Qiu’s pocket vibrated.
He took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and found that the Military God had sent a text message.
The content was only four words.
”Long Liu left Beijing!”
