Chapter 249 Am I too polite to you?
Walk along the stone path in the temple, bypass the Hall of Heavenly Kings and the Main Hall, pass through a group of meditation rooms, and finally enter the abbot's courtyard.
The Abbot's Courtyard, as the name suggests, is the main bedroom of the abbot of each temple.
According to legend, ancient monks all lived in square stone chambers, which were ten feet long and wide, so they were called "Fangzhang".
However, the room in front of him was at least 200 square meters, which was twenty times the standard for an "abbot", which fully demonstrated that the Folian Temple must be quite popular.
"Donor, the abbot is inside."
Stopping at the door, the little monk whispered, "Just go in."
"Um."
Wei Changtian nodded and walked into the house. He didn't see the real monk, but instead saw a huge portrait of Buddhas.
In front of the portrait is a table with a glazed Buddhist shrine and a Xuan incense burner burning sandalwood.
On both sides of the Buddhist table, there are four tall bookcases filled with wooden boards of Buddhist scriptures.
Wake up when you hear the bell, fall asleep when you hear the drum, go to the hall when you hear the boards, and pass through the hall when you hear the gongs, day after day, year after year.
To be honest, although this daily life is stable and regular, Wei Changtian feels it is too boring.
What’s more important is that there are no women.
He stood there and looked for a while, then pouted and prepared to walk into the inner room.
But at this moment, an old monk wearing a cassock and with white eyebrows and beard came out from behind the bookcase.
"Amitabha. Donor, are you from the Wei family in the capital?"
Hmm? This Hui An is quite interesting.
"How did the abbot guess it?"
"Amitabha."
Huian put his hands together, bowed softly and said: "Young Master said he came here for Jingyuan"
I see.
Wei Changtian nodded and reached out to take off the veil on his face.
"The Wei family in the capital, Wei Changtian."
"Master Wei?"
Hui'an seemed a little surprised, but soon regained his composure.
"Sir, let's talk in the inner room."
"I know what you want to ask. The Buddhist Lotus Temple will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
In the original novel "The Peak of Martial Arts", Xiao Feng met Huian in the middle period.
At that time, he fought a fierce battle with someone in Longzhou. Although all the enemies were killed, he was also seriously injured. Then, by chance, he was rescued by the latter.
During the days of recuperation in the Folian Temple, Xiao Feng and Huian gradually became familiar with each other. Xiao Feng often discussed Buddhism with this eminent monk, and he also actively helped the people of Longzhou to "get rid of poverty and become rich."
The original book did not give a very detailed description of this "poverty alleviation" content, but anyway, after Xiao Feng's operation, the poverty problem that had plagued the people of Longzhou for hundreds of years was solved. Although they did not directly achieve "moderate prosperity", they could basically have enough food to eat.
With such ability in his previous life, he would have definitely won the honor of being a "poverty alleviation model". The same was true for Xiao Feng. Not only did he successfully gain the love of the people of Longzhou, he also received the sacred Buddhist object - the golden cassock - from Huian.
Simply put, it is a story of "good deeds will be rewarded with good".
When Wei Changtian first watched this episode, he had no interest in most of the plots. He only remembered that when Xiao Feng left Longzhou, there was a scene where "the people lined the streets to see him off", and Hui An's comment on the former -
Although he did not enter Buddhism, he was a saint with long hair.
This is undoubtedly a high evaluation, but it is a pity that this "hair-keeping saint" has died under Wei Changtian's sword. He will never have the chance to save the people of Longzhou from danger, nor will he have the chance to meet Huian. "."
"Master Wei, monks do not tell lies. Everything I say is true."
A quarter of an hour later, Huian had told Jingyuan the truth about her situation, his tone full of apology.
"It is indeed the fault of our Buddhist Lotus Temple to allow such an evil monk to walk the earth. Fortunately, Miss You was not hurt. I hope you can forgive her."
"forgive."
Wei Changtian lowered his head and thought for a while, then smiled softly and said, "Abbot, I came to the Folian Temple today, not to forgive you."
"Then I wonder what you want me to do with the Buddhist Lotus Temple?"
Huian calmly twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand, and the scent of agarwood curled around the room.
“It’s very simple.”
Wei Changtian got straight to the point and said with narrowed eyes: "I want the golden cassock."
"Da~"
The long Buddhist string suddenly stopped.
Huian looked over suddenly, his eyes first showing surprise, then helplessness.
"Master Wei, the golden cassock is a treasure of our Buddhist sect."
"Of course I know it's a treasure."
Wei Changtian waved his hand and interrupted, "Otherwise I wouldn't be interested in it."
"Abbot, Jing Yuan almost ruined my plan at the Chunlong Poetry Conference. After that, I had to go through great pains to bring this evil monk who brought disaster to the world to his death."
"Speaking of which, this matter should be handled by your Fulian Temple, but I can't bear to see him continue to kill innocent people, so I will help you eliminate this scum."
"Besides, I have not publicized this matter until now, because I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of Folian Temple and Buddhism."
"Abbot, let's be fair."
"I did all this, but I only got a golden robe in return."
“It shouldn’t be too much, right?”
“.”
Wei Changtian's words were well-reasoned and Huian could not help but remain silent for a long time after hearing them.
But in the end he shook his head apologetically.
"Master Wei, the golden robe is too special. I cannot make the decision."
"However, my Buddhist Lotus Temple has two pavilions for storing scriptures and treasures. If you are willing, you can go to the two pavilions and choose whatever you like. Whatever you like, you can take it away today."
"What do you think, sir?"
Free shopping?
The condition of being able to pick any treasure from the Buddhist scripture pavilion and treasure pavilion in the Folian Temple is actually very good.
However, Wei Changtian was not interested in those "junks". The only thing he liked in the entire Folian Temple was the cassock.
"Old monk."
Suddenly, he stopped calling Hui'an "abbot" and made a 180-degree turn in his attitude. In the latter's somewhat astonished eyes, he spoke word by word: "Am I too polite to you?"
According to unofficial statistics from Tianji Pavilion, Hui'an has long been ranked second on the Daning White List and is a typical "gentleman".
But no matter how gentlemanly he is, he is still a second-class master.
A second-rank official was now threatened by a fifth-rank official, but Hui'an just frowned. It must be said that this was a manifestation of an extremely tolerant mind.
"Master Wei, if you don't want to go to the second pavilion to choose treasures, then forget it."
"The favor that Fulian Temple owes you will definitely be repaid in the future."
The Buddhist beads turned again, and Huian slowly closed his eyes.
"But today, there is no way you can take the golden robe away."
“.”
Hui An no longer looked at Wei Changtian, and the latter didn't care. He just sneered and said, "Abbot, don't be so harsh."
"I must take this robe with me today."
"snort!"
Hui An snorted coldly: "Young Master, you can try."
Just try it, who’s afraid of who?
Wei Changtian sneered and slowly stood up, immediately mobilizing the surging internal strength in his body. "Grandpa!"
