Chapter 154 Reluctant! 【Subscribe】
puff...
Many people saw that Fang Zheng's stupefied appearance was far inferior to his calm appearance, and immediately lowered Fang Zheng's rating a lot. But considering Fang Zheng's ability, no one dared to underestimate Fang Zheng.
Of course, there are also people who are secretly hoping that Fangzheng will stumble, that there will be no grievances, and it will just be a big tree to attract the wind.
Zen Master Baiyun was not angry, but said with a smile: "Abbot Fangzheng, you are not yet twenty years old this year, and you have just entered the ranks of rookies. You have never participated in the Dharma Conference of Baiyun Temple in One Finger Temple, so you don't know many things. Before , It is reasonable to not sign up. So, the poor monk is now asking for your opinion, are you willing to participate in the competition for rookies and preach on behalf of Buddhist disciples?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes changed, and the way they looked at Fangzheng became weird.
Although they wanted to see Fangzheng stumble, everyone understood that crossing the river one by one for no other reason was enough to put the youngest abbot on the throne of the rookie king! Although a group is a genius, but no matter how talented it is, it is just hearsay. How can it be compared with Yiwei crossing the river that they saw with their own eyes?
The brows of the party finally frowned. Seeing that Fangzheng did not speak, he couldn't hold back, and said first: "Chan Master Baiyun, according to the rules of your temple, it will be invalid after the expiration date. Abbot Fangzheng, although he didn't know about it, but this should not be regarded as breaking the rules. The reason is right."
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar!
Hong Jing, who was sitting on the side of the group, was so frightened that he almost jumped up, pulling people! But in the end, he held back, but his face was full of anxiety, and his brain was running wildly, thinking of how to help the group get away.
Who is Zen Master Baiyun?
The number one eminent monk in Montenegro!
Be it the Spring Festival Blessing Ceremony or the debate right now, they are all presided over by Zen Master Baiyun! It can be said that he is the first person in Buddhism in the entire Montenegro area, and his words can reach the sky!
Questioning Zen Master Baiyun in front of so many people? No one has ever done this before!
Hong Jing didn't dare, but never expected that his disciple would do this! Hong Jing just wants to cry, this is not a good game, he will be kicked out easily!
The others didn't speak, but their eyes showed that some people were worried, and some people gloated and watched the fun.
Yixing saw all of this, but he didn't mean to be depressed. He was young and frivolous, and he was in the rebellious period. At this moment, he thought he was right. What's wrong with saying he was right? So hold your head high, without any fear!
However, to everyone's surprise, Zen Master Baiyun was not angry. Instead, he said thoughtfully: "Xingxing, what you said makes sense. But, do you know the purpose of my Baiyun Temple holding the puja?"
Yixing said without hesitation: "Promote Buddhism, let a hundred flowers bloom!" As soon as these words came out, Yixing was stunned.
Seeing this, Zen Master Baiyun smiled and said nothing.
The party sighed, clasped their hands together, saluted and said: "It's the disciple who made the picture, but the disciple knows that in the past, it was up to you to decide who would speak the scriptures. But today, the disciple has a reason to fight, so, no matter Whoever joins in, the disciples want to compete with him!"
Hongjing's heart trembled when he heard the words, he knew that Xingxing's temperament was stubborn, but he was not a competitive person! It is like this today, mostly because of the monastery, for him! Feeling hot, I almost cried, but Hongjing got up anyway, and scolded: "What are you fighting for? Monks, don't fight! Let's sit down!"
Then Hongjing cupped his hands to Zen Master Baiyun and said, "Abbot Baiyun, please don't blame me for being young."
As a result, the party did not sit down, but looked straight at Zen Master Baiyun, and said: "Abbot Baiyun, the party does not ask for anything else, only fairness!"
"Fair? How can your Dharma compare with the feat of crossing the river with a reed?" Hong Jing said.
The party shook their heads and said, "Crossing the river with a reed is a supernatural power, and Buddhist practice is not a supernatural power! If it is better than supernatural powers, then everyone present is not as good as Abbot Fangzheng?"
As soon as these words came out, Hong Jing was speechless, he was the first to say these words. Now being taken out by one of his disciples, and against himself, I really don't know how to refute it.
At this moment, Zen Master Baiyun said, "Abbot Hongjing congratulates you for having a good disciple. Since Yixing is so persistent, let's compare. Abbot Fangzheng, what do you mean? Would you like to participate in today's lecture? Are you willing to compare with Yixing for your understanding of Buddhism?"
Everyone turned their attention to Fangzheng again, but everyone already had a conclusion in their minds. If you don't seize such a good opportunity, you will be an absolute idiot! You don't need to look to know that Fangzheng will definitely nod desperately and agree!
However……
Fangzheng shook his bald head like a rattle!
Everyone just felt dazzled, and many people rubbed their eyes, trying to make sure if they saw it wrong.
In the end, Fangzheng said, "The poor monk is unwilling!"
"What?!" Hong Jing's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief!
Zen Master Hongyan was also stunned, Wuxin was a little dazed, and Hongchan's brain froze! The others were also dumbfounded. No one expected that such a good opportunity, which everyone wanted to snatch, Fangzheng refused without even thinking about it! Is this person a fool, or an idiot?
Yixing was also slightly taken aback, but a flash of understanding quickly flashed in his eyes, and the look in Fangzheng's eyes was not only not grateful, but mocking and contemptuous! He said in his heart: "Although this monk came across the river with one reed, he can use magic and other means to cross the river with one reed. These are all illusory, only the Dharma is true. I asked him for advice before, although he answered But it’s not standard. Later, when I left, there was joy in my eyes. At that time, I was afraid that I would ask. At that time, I felt that his Buddhist attainments were not good enough. Now it seems that he is really not good. This is scary! Crossing the river with a reed, the legendary monk , the youngest abbot? Huh! Today the poor monk will crack down on fakes and expose his hypocrisy!"
Thinking of this, Xingxing raised his head slightly, his eyes were still calm, but his heart was filled with fighting spirit.
Zen Master Baiyun was also slightly dazed. After so many years, this was the first time he encountered someone rejecting him.
Zen Master Baiyun thought that Fangzheng didn't understand, so he said again: "Abbot Fangzheng, you really don't want to participate?"
Fangzheng shook his head resolutely and said, "Of course, isn't it clear what the poor monk said? The poor monk really doesn't want to participate."
Zen Master Baiyun frowned, and said, "Abbot Fangzheng, do you know that if you win this competition, what will it bring you to Yizhi Temple?"
Someone kindly reminded Fangzheng, "Abbot Fangzheng, if he gets the title of the new king, One Finger Temple will definitely become famous. At least it won't be unknown anymore."
"Yes, such an opportunity is because we are old and we don't have enough outstanding disciples under our command, otherwise we will definitely compete."
"That's right, Zen Master Baiyun made an exception to let you participate, so why do you have to?"
"If you have insights, you might as well share them and communicate with each other to make progress."
...
Fangzheng smiled wryly in his heart, as long as there was something in his stomach that he could take out, he would go up. At that time, there was no need for others to push him, as long as he was not pulled to prevent him from going up. The problem is, there is no inventory in the stomach, so what are you going to do? Shame on you?
PS: Asking for a monthly pass, I was blown up again, embarrassing.
