Chapter 334 Sisters, go to the temple in full makeup! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
In the backyard of Kek Lok Temple, in front of the dormitory door.
Standing at the head of the room under the moon, watching the young monk running away, Li Youzhi touched his head in confusion.
What the hell is going on?
It felt like the look in this guy's eyes when he ran away was like there was a monster in the temple, and he was running to ask an Arhat to subdue the monster...
Stroking the barren head that still felt inexplicably moist, Li Youzhi smacked his lips and looked at the group of people standing stiffly in the courtyard.
"Little Master, just now Master Guan Ming promised me to go to the Sutra Pavilion to read and copy scriptures. Is it convenient for me to go now?"
"ah……"
Staring at Li Youzhi's eyes, which were as deep as ancient wells and dimly reflected in the moonlight, the group quickly closed their eyes and chanted the Buddha's name.
"Donor, the young monk will take you there right now. Follow me."
"..."
Looking at the little monk who turned around and ran with his head down, Li Youzhi hissed and quickly followed.
There are not many temples in Rongzhou, and Jile Temple is considered a relatively large one.
However, compared to Songshan or other large temples, it is incomparable in scale.
The so-called Sutra Pavilion is actually a slightly larger Zen room located behind Jile Temple. It is slightly different from other Zen rooms in that it is more messy.
It is more like a warehouse than a place where scriptures are stored.
When Li Youzhi and his entourage came to the Sutra Pavilion, a middle-aged monk wearing glasses was copying scriptures by the light of a vertical LED table lamp.
Seeing a group of people and Li Youzhi coming in with him, the monk was obviously taken aback.
"Amitabha, Master of Yixing."
"Old Fish Donor."
Facing the man's greeting, the group put their hands together and bowed slightly, then glanced at Li Youzhi behind them.
"Old Fish Donor, this benefactor would like to borrow the Sutra Pavilion to read scriptures..."
"Oh, ok, ok, I'm good."
Seeing that Yi Xing wanted to clear the place, the middle-aged "monk" quickly packed up the things at hand, holding a half-copied Lotus Sutra, bowed to Yi Xing and Li Youzhi again and walked out of the Sutra Pavilion.
"Master Yixing, isn't this a monk from our temple?"
Looking at the man's hunched back, Li Youzhi blinked.
"No, he's just a guest from the world of mortals, a man crossing a sea of suffering."
Yi Xing smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying:
"Donor Laoyu came to the temple in the middle of last year and insisted on being ordained as a monk. However, the benefactor may not know that ordination in our temple now requires approval from the Religious Affairs Bureau and requires a bachelor's degree in Buddhism. This person is not in the right major and does not provide His identity document only stated that he called himself Shuhai Laoyu.
He refused to leave until he was tonsured. We began to suspect that he had broken some laws, so we called the police. But the man came back within two days and still refused to leave. He said that he wanted to practice Buddhism here and pay for the commission fees for hand-copied scriptures in the temple... The brothers guessed that something happened, or they were hurt by love...
Donor Li, don't worry about him. All the scriptures in my temple are here. Electrical appliances and open flames are not allowed in the Sutra Pavilion. If donors want to read the sutras, please do so on your own. I will be practicing in the Zen room next door tonight. Li Shi mainly felt cold and wanted to go back to the room, so he went to the next door to let me know. "
In a few moments, he tidied up the small wooden table in the center of the Sutra Pavilion, took a clean futon for Li Youzhi, and then the group bowed and left.
Standing in the Sutra Collection Pavilion with the door closed, Li Youzhi raised his eyebrows.
The temperature in Chengdu in the first month of the year is really not high. The temperature in the Jingge is about ten degrees above zero. Compared to the outside, there is just no cool breeze.
But Li Youzhi didn’t feel there was anything he couldn’t bear;
After using the Marrow Cleansing Pill, his physique has been improved to a considerable extent, and he is already more resistant to freezing than normal people. Wearing a woolen suit in the middle of winter, the weather is wild outside.
Now that I have the anti-low and high temperature buff from the physical fitness bracelet, I don't feel cold even if I'm wearing a single-layer summer robe.
On the contrary, the soles of your feet are warm, and the cool air that penetrates your heart and lungs makes you feel refreshed.
After adjusting the futon, Li Youzhi sat cross-legged in front of the small square table and silently opened the task panel.
Li Youzhi snorted when he saw the outrageous task of "copying all the scriptures in the temple" and the long-term task of "reading more and seeing more of the world" that he had pinned to the top.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, it’s a good time to complete missions!
You see, it will be over if Brother Zhi doesn’t fill up the treasure box today!
With this thought in mind, he directly grabbed a copy of the "Diamond Sutra" on the desk, picked up the pen and ink and scripture copybook left by Shuhai Laoyu on the desk, and started copying the scriptures.
In fact, Li Youzhi was not interested in anything like Buddhism at all.
why?
Because Buddhism emphasizes "emptiness" and "letting go".
What's going on with Brother Zhi?
My heart is filled with the pursuit of Zhileng, and my mind is filled with Naizi’s obsession with appearance!
Moreover, Li Youzhi doesn't have a good impression of the current temple. He always feels that the commercial atmosphere is too strong. He even scorned things like burning incense and worshiping Buddha.
What does Brother Zhi believe in?
It is self-strengthening and self-perfection. The Buddha said that you should be empty and let go. So what do you ask for by burning incense and praying to the Buddha?
Apart from the spiritual sustenance of those who are helpless during life, old age, illness and death, what most pilgrims seek is their own obsession and the desire to get something for nothing.
However, sitting in the quiet Zen room and carefully reading the generally annotated "Diamond Sutra", Li Youzhi also felt that if he looked at it with dialectical thinking, some of the views in the Buddhist scriptures were in line with his own thoughts. Or the behavior can be correct.
For example, the "Diamond Sutra" says, "A pure mind should be born in this way. The mind should not dwell on form, the mind should not dwell on sound, smell, taste, touch, and law. The mind should be born without dwelling on it."
What it means is that you have no delusions, stick to your true self, and your mind does not follow the pull of the external environment, and it is pure if you do not follow its directions. All things, whether they are long or short, painful or happy, are essentially empty in nature. When things come, respond, and when they go, leave them alone; when things come, do them with all your heart, and when they go, your mind will be pure. A pure mind is the Tao.
Thinking about it this way, in the process of pursuing Zhileng wholeheartedly, Brother Zhi has eliminated all anxiety factors except Zhileng. This is also a way!
Beep!
[The progress of the long-term recommended task (read more, see more of the world) has been updated, and you will receive an F-level reward chest X1]
After carefully reading the scripture from beginning to end, Li Youzhi nodded deeply and picked up his writing brush when he heard a system task update prompt.
Just as he was about to recite the Diamond Sutra, the cell phone on the table suddenly buzzed.
Li Youzhi turned around and saw, what a good guy...
I was so absorbed in reading the scriptures just now that my screen was filled with trembling messages at some point!
Without exception, those private messages and @were all asking about the status of my orders in the temple, or the Lezi people asked me to report on the progress of the work.
Seeing that a group of netizens were so curious about his life in the temple, Li Youzhi picked up a writing brush and casually typed the title "Listen to my advice, practice online" and started a live broadcast.
Ever since he sent the Shanmen check-in update just now, Li Youzhi's comment section, which had been trolled all day, has stopped.
The composition of netizens active in his hands now is quite complicated; there are netizens who are having fun, and fans of the original works who originally came to make trouble, but now no longer know what emotions to use against Li Youzhi.
When the live broadcast room was opened, these netizens poured in one after another.
However, both the fun-lovers and fans of the original novel, when they saw the live broadcast... they were all silent once again!
The signal on the mountain was not very good. Seeing that there were only three bars of 5G signal and a silent interactive area, Li Youzhi smiled faintly at the camera.
"I have completed the registration list and am now studying the scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion. My friends previously advised me to study and copy all the scriptures in the temple. I just took a look and found that there are more than 3,000 volumes in total. This is a big project. , so I will be quite busy tonight, so I won’t interact with everyone.”
After explaining to the camera, Li Youzhi casually stuck his cell phone next to a stack of scriptures and pointed the camera at the square table.
Immediately, he picked up the thin wolf brush, slightly dipped it in ink, and started writing on a blank scripture book.
Studio.
Looking at the tall and straight body under the thin monk's robe, looking at the three-dimensional side face illuminated by the dim light under the green lamp, looking at the pair of eyes that flickered slightly and seemed to be like a river of stars, Looking at the hand holding a wolf-hair brush and leaving neat lines in small regular script on the scriptures, with long fingers and clean nails...
A wave of female hormones in the interactive area... exploded!
"Ahhhhh, low and soft, cold and clear... I, I finally understand why the King of the Daughter Kingdom likes Tang Seng so much. Isn't this a proper ascetic male god?!"
"TMD, he just clasped his hands and sat down somewhere. I have already imagined that he and I have had sadomasochistic love for more than ten reincarnations, and that he will guard the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for me in this life!"
"Hi Kek Lok Temple, right? Don't say anything. Sisters, come to the temple in full makeup! First come, first served, the loser will eat the dust!!!"
"Hi It seems that I am going to show off the yellow shirt that I have treasured for a long time."
"Valentino + Balenciaga request a fight! Little monk, you wait for sister. Between the precepts and the law today, sister, I must break one! Either you break the precept, or I break the law!"
Beep!
Received additional [Desire] stunning value, 700050 points!
"All conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream. They are like dew and lightning. We should observe them like this... huh?"
Li Youzhi raised his eyebrows when he heard an exciting system entry notification and glanced sideways at the surging barrage.
Female donors, you are obsessed!
The other end.
The bedroom of the governor monk Guan Ming.
"Uncle Guan Ming, this boy is really too evil. You must not let the female donor come over! Otherwise, our backyard will really catch fire! Go back and ask him how long he will stay. During this time, we The squatters in the backyard should not be open to the public."
After hearing Yi Neng's report, Guan Ming touched his bald head.
"Is it true?"
"really!"
Seeing Yi Neng nodding heavily, Guan Ming thought about the image of Li Youzhi when he entered the temple just now, and imagined what he would look like after putting on the monk's robe. He hissed deeply and slapped his thigh hard!
"The operation of removing guest rooms on Qiannar.com is too complicated. It takes a long time to get approval after closing. It's better to just raise the price to an absurd level and then change it back after the donor Li leaves."
Seeing Guan Ming make a decision, Yi Neng breathed a long sigh of relief.
"That's good."
After waving to Yi Neng, Guan Ming took out his mobile phone and opened the backend of Xie Na.com. After some operations, he laughed.
"Okay, 12,000 yuan/night for a single room, thank you directly..."
Before he finished speaking, Guan Ming's expression froze in the smile that had not yet fully risen.
"Uncle Guan Ming...what's wrong?"
Noticing that something was wrong with Guan Ming's expression, Yi Neng blinked in confusion.
"..."
Suck
Taking a deep breath, Guan Ming silently put down his trembling hands.
"One piece of good news, one piece of bad news."
"What's the good news?"
"The dormitory in our temple...at the price of 12,000 yuan per night, is fully booked until February 2nd..."
"Where's the bad news?"
“It’s all female donors.”
This is obviously all bad news, right? ! !
Seeing Guan Ming's complicated expression, the Buddhist intern, a young master who devoted himself to the study of Buddhism... his mentality collapsed!
