Chapter 64: Buddhist and Taoist Union
064 Buddhist and Taoist Union
It was only one day later when Li Jin returned to Ping'an Temple. At noon the next day, he was standing at the gate of the temple and chatting cordially with pilgrims. Xiang Jiannan saw a horse-drawn carriage approaching. The driver was not familiar with the road conditions, so he stared at the gate of Ping'an Temple, confirming himself several times in his eyes. He stopped at about the same distance before getting off the carriage and calling the people inside.
The curtain was drawn open, and Li Jin and the Falun Dafa monk stuck their heads out and jumped out of the carriage one after another.
"No need to give me the change for the taxi fare."
Li Jin took out a few coins from his waist and gave them to the driver. He then made a gesture of invitation, but the Dafa monk stood upright and motionless after getting off the car. The driver, on the other hand, acted quickly. After thanking him repeatedly, he immediately turned the carriage around and left.
I was in such a hurry that I didn't even have time to get into the car.
So fast? "Great Master!"
Xiang Jiannan interrupted his conversation with the pilgrims and went forward to greet them. As he spoke, he heard some discussions behind him. It was normal for a monk to suddenly appear outside the temple gate and attract other people's attention. Compared with the last time, the noise was actually so small that it could be ignored.
Most of the pilgrims passing by don’t react much. At most they look a few times and then move on.
"You Taoist priest, why did you interrupt my spiritual practice?"
When speaking, he was still as irritable as before, and the Falun Dafa monk stood there and asked loudly.
The voice was as loud as a bell, and the pilgrims who did not know the truth looked sideways again.
This fat monk seemed to be here to call for punishment, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he seemed like a different person. Before, he looked quite kind.
"Pure cultivation? Monk, you are exaggerating."
He wondered why he was so angry. As for what the Dafa monk said about cultivating in purity, Xiang Jiannan said that he would not believe it at all. This fat monk had nothing to do with the word "pure". How could such a hot-tempered old man use this word? It did not suit his personality.
It does make sense to say that cultivation is booming.
"Monk, I was contemplating Buddhist scriptures and was about to make a breakthrough, but in the blink of an eye, I was brought here."
"Little Taoist priest, you are too calculating!"
I have no intention of plotting against you. I don't have the ability to do that. Shouldn't I have said this to Li Jin?
Hearing the grief expressed by the Dafa monk, Xiang Jiannan could only express his deep sympathy. The courageous man he was talking about was none other than the Dafa monk. He had been in the Great Zhou Dynasty for so long, and not many people had left a deep impression on him.
After listening to Li Jin's request for help yesterday, the first person I thought of was the Falun Dafa monks. To deal with lawbreakers, we must find someone who is more lawless than them. This job must be done by the Falun Dafa monks.
As for delaying his practice, I had never thought about such a thing. Who knew it would be such a coincidence.
"Master, you're here again... Didn't the senior monks in the temple say that this matter has nothing to do with us? When I first entered the city, weren't you leading a group of people wandering around the streets? How could there be a breakthrough?"
"What do you know!"
Feeling very uncomfortable with Li Jin's rebuttal, the Dafa monk just said that Buddhism is profound:
"I, a monk, have never been particular about the location of my practice. When you saw me, it was actually a critical moment!"
"That's right. If it had been a little later, those guys would have died. Master, can you be a bit more docile? They kept complaining all the way. Even the driver was scared by your scolding."
So that's how it is.
As Li Jin debated with the Dafa monk, Xiang Jiannan understood why the driver was so humble. Given the Dafa monk's character, it was not just a scolding, there was probably also a threat of force. When Li Jin was speaking, he seemed to be restraining himself.
"Daoxing, you want to talk about Daoxing with me, a monk?"
As if he had heard something incredible, the Dafa monk looked at Li Jin with contempt:
"You come to me, a monk, without any spiritual power? Don't forget, Master Li, I was dragged here by you!"
"you"
Looking at Xiang Jiannan with great resentment, Li Jin had been feeling aggrieved for a long time. If the young Taoist priest had not strongly recommended him, who would care about this fat monk with a hot temper? He had endured it with great difficulty to invite him from Baofo Temple, but this monk became more and more outrageous. Could it be that he had been tricked by the young Taoist priest? He thought that the two of them had already reconciled their past grudges, but just when he was choked by the words of the Dafa monk, he saw Gao Yuan walking out of the temple at this time.
Just with a smile, the arrogant Falun Dafa monk instantly became obedient.
"Meet the old Taoist priest."
As soon as he saw Gao Yuan, his attitude changed immediately. The Dafa monk was as friendly as if he had seen his master. He behaved humbly and respectfully, and there was no trace of his previous behavior:
"How is the old Taoist priest these days?"
There was nothing much to say. He had already seen the cultivation level of this old Taoist priest. Not long ago, when he came back from exorcising a demon, Master Kong and others were amazed again. In short, he was not to be trifled with.
A good monk is one who can recognize the current affairs.
Although he had been defeated by Xiang Jiannan once, the Dafa monk had never been convinced of him. But Gao Yuan was different. After the two incidents, he realized that there was a big gap between him and the old Taoist priest.
Being reckless also depends on the target.
"You have come a long way, why don't you sit down in the temple?"
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
The quarrel between the three people had been heard inside the temple. After Gao Yuan came out, he just looked at the Dafa monk. He didn't see him much last time in Baofo Temple. After not seeing him for a few days, the monk seemed to have gained a lot of weight.
My temper is getting worse and worse.
"No, it's urgent. Once the old Taoist priest is ready, we can set off."
Following Gao Yuan's words, the Dafa monk suddenly said in a righteous voice:
"Not long after Young Master Li arrived at the Baofo Temple, I was ready. I wanted to convert those criminals immediately. Do you think so too, old Taoist priest?"
This fat monk has become too docile.
Standing aside and watching the Dafa monk's performance quietly, Xiang Jiannan and Li Jin just felt ashamed. As a monk, could they not be so servile? Where has the momentum they had just now gone?
You must persist in being yourself, Dafa!
"I didn't say I would go with you. My Taoist temple cannot be without people for the time being."
As expected of a master, even his reasons are the same as mine.
He had already planned this in his mind, and after Gao Yuan spoke, Xiang Jiannan couldn't help but give him a knowing look.
That's what it meant to pull the Dafa monk out. He wasn't willing to take the risk with Li Jin. He had done that before, but now, he gave the opportunity to the Dafa monk.
With the two of us working together, there is nothing to be afraid of, no matter how fierce the criminals are. Believe in yourself, we will cheer you on in Ping An Temple.
"Old Taoist priest, this..."
Unexpectedly, Gao Yuan would suddenly refuse at this time. Li Jin spoke as if he was hit by a wake-up call. He looked at Xiang Jiannan and saw that the young Taoist priest's expression was similar to that of his master. The more people the better. Wasn't what I said before straightforward enough?
"It's okay. The old Taoist's disciple will go with you."
Seeing that Li Jin and the Dafa monk were confused, Gao Yuan looked at the three of them and continued:
"I have already thought about it. From the time you leave until you come back, I will sit in front of the master and pray for you. If you can't come back, remember to ask someone to send a message to me. After all, the master will get annoyed too."
He can't come back, and he asked someone to send a message! Before he could react, he was sold out by his master. Turning his head to look at the old Taoist priest, Xiang Jiannan was sure that he had heard it right. He just felt that he could do some things. The master was old, so he should go out more often.
Who doesn’t know how to sit in meditation?
