Chapter 147 Doubt 【Subscription】First Update
So this punishment is necessary!
As for Hongxiang, Mr. Du was a bit selfish after all, so he didn't push him out. Elder Du knew very well that if Hongxiang was pushed out, then Hongxiang's life would really be over, and being kicked out of the monastery would be light.
Seeing that Fangzheng not only didn't pursue Hongxiang's affairs, but even didn't even ask about the details, Elder Du couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Such a broad-mindedness, is it really possible for a young monk at such an age to have it? The gap between them is really not that big.”
Thinking of this, Elder Du only felt grateful, how could he dare to be dissatisfied?
Outsiders didn't know Fangzheng's meaning, but seeing Mr. Du following behind respectfully without any complaints, naturally he wouldn't say anything. More is still discussing the matter of crossing the river with one reed, after all, this is too shocking!
A group of people followed Fangzheng, some were watching the excitement, some were taking pictures, chatting, bragging, and exhaling... It was very lively for a while.
Hongxiang, on the other hand, was already prepared to be dragged out to criticize, and then ruined and get out of the monastery. After waiting for a long time, everyone left, only to find that there was nothing wrong with him!
Hongxiang was stunned, looking at the crowd going away, Hongxiang was a little dazed, and it took him a long time to scratch his head and follow, but there was a wave in his heart, at this moment he saw clearly many things that he couldn't figure out before.
At this moment, a group of people descended from the mountain, headed by Zen Master Baiyun! Followed by monks from various monasteries, hundreds of them!
The two teams met halfway, and then both froze.
At this moment, Brother Hei rushed up suddenly and shouted: "Master Baiyun, please judge, we all sail the boat, and of course we have the final say on who will be carried. This monk actually punished Mr. Du, Du Lao is so old..."
"Liu Heizi, shut up!" Mr. Du hurried forward and blocked Liu Heizi's mouth.
Zen Master Baiyun looked at Liu Heizi, who was dissatisfied, and then at Fang Zheng and Mr. Du. Mr. Du was angry and ashamed, while Fang Zheng was calm, with a gentle smile full of sunshine. The monk is connected together, and more often, he will ignore his clothes and identity, but treat him as a sunny boy.
Zen Master Baiyun nodded slightly to Fangzheng, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Baiyun, the abbot of the poor monk Baiyun Temple, this master was born in person. May I ask which temple you practice in and what is your name?"
Fangzheng looked at the kind master in front of him, and vaguely saw a Zen master with a finger. They were all so kind and kind, and their eyes were always crystal clear, like a pool of spring water. Zen Master Yizhi once said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and a person with clear eyes must have a beautiful soul. Those who practice Buddhism should cleanse their souls day and night.
The Zen Master Baiyun in front of him was obviously an eminent monk. Fangzheng respected him more and more, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Fangzheng, the abbot of Yizhi Temple, a poor monk, has seen Zen Master Baiyun."
"Oh? You are Fangzheng?!" Suddenly there was an exclamation from the crowd. A moment ago, Zen Master Baiyun asked Fangzheng who came here, but no one knew him. No one expected that this little monk crossing the river with a reed turned out to be Fang Zheng!
Seeing Fangzheng's youthful appearance and thinking about crossing the river with a reed, everyone had their own thoughts.
At this moment, a fat monk stepped forward and said, "Master Fangzheng, why do you want to cross the river with a reed instead of a boat? Doing this is too grandstanding? If you really want to be famous, you don't want to It should be at the foot of Baiyun Temple Mountain, using the popularity of the Spring Festival to hype it?"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar again. Just now, they were only amazed at Fangzheng's supernatural power of crossing the river with a reed, but now thinking about it carefully, yes, if you don't take a boat, why do you want to cross the river with a reed? Crossing the river with a reed in front of so many people is not grandstanding, what is it? It is not a good attitude to be greedy for fame and fortune. Such a person is not worthy of being an abbot.
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes became strange. Just now they were curious and even respectful, but now they looked a little disdainful.
Hearing this, Fangzheng frowned slightly. He also wanted to take a boat, but he had to have a boat for him! Fangzheng was about to speak, but Elder Du spoke first, stepped forward and bowed to the monks, and said, "It's not Master Fangzheng's fault, it's all my fault. I'm getting old and confused. I listened to the slander and thought that Master Fangzheng was a man who didn't learn a lot. The liar who is going around is afraid that he will insult the holy place by coming to Baiyun Temple. So he asked the boatmen not to carry him on board, but he couldn't help it, so he came across the river with a reed."
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized, but the fat monk quit, wouldn't this be a slap in the face? The old man's face was slightly red, he held on tightly, and asked: "If you don't take him across the river, you can call this side, and we can coordinate here. It doesn't have to be like this? This hype is too obvious, right?"
Fangzheng raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and thought: Is this fat man sick? I behaved well, I didn't provoke him, I didn't provoke him, why keep biting me? Besides, the ghost knows what the phone number of Baiyun Temple is.
Fangzheng was about to speak when Zen Master Hongyan suddenly said: "Amitabha, Master Hongjing's words are wrong. Not everyone knows the phone number of Baiyun Temple. What's more, although we are outsiders, some worldly things are unavoidable. Yes. Baiyun Temple held the Spring Festival Blessing Ceremony, and sent invitations out. If you can’t arrive on time, even if Zen Master Baiyun doesn’t care, it doesn’t mean that this matter doesn’t exist. Everyone knows the impact behind it. Be in a hurry."
"Chan Master Hongyan is right. However, there is one thing that the poor monk can't figure out. I would like to ask Master Fangzheng. There are countless monks who have come to Baiyun Temple. Why did someone target you? As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs. Shall I explain it?" Master Hongjing didn't dare to argue with the respected Zen Master Hongyan, and once again turned his finger on Fangzheng.
Fangzheng said: "Actually, this poor monk can't figure it out. Since the poor monk took over One Finger Temple, this is the first time he has gone down the mountain. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any conflicts with anyone."
"This is strange. Since the mage has no conflicts with anyone, the question is back again. Why did they target you? Why not target the poor monk? The poor monk thinks that the mage should reflect on what he did wrong. Already." Master Hongjing smiled triumphantly when he said this, because he found that Fangzheng seemed to be at a loss for words.
Fangzheng was also heartbroken, he just pretended to be aggressive, and didn't ask clearly why. Let him talk now, where is he going to talk?
Fangzheng was worrying, Elder Du sighed, knowing that this matter could not be avoided, and was about to tell the whole story, when someone shouted: "Let me decide this matter!"
