Ling Chi said indifferently: "If you agree to any rude request, it will be too cheap, let's see her sincerity!"
"Oh?" Su Mei was a smart woman, she knew Ling Chi's plan after a little thought.He tilted his head slightly to look at him, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Ling is still as wise as ever!"
"Just do what you want and don't overstep the rules." Ling Chi smiled slightly and said, "The weather is fine today, let's go! Go to Lingyin Temple."
"Lingyin Temple?" Su Mei asked, "Do you want to see that crazy monk?"
"He's not a crazy monk." Ling Chi smiled slightly, and said, "It's been more than twenty years since the Western Dragon Subduing Arhat was reincarnated."
Su Mei opened her eyes.
……
Xiaoqing returned to Ling's mansion and saw her sister kneeling in the backyard gazebo, not to mention, Ling Chi and Su Mei came to the outside of Lingyin Temple on a cloud, and just as they landed, they heard the sound of scolding coming from the temple .
"Amitabha, Daoji, Daoji, you are really sinful, how can you eat dog meat! Amitabha, it's a sin. Hurry up and throw away the dog meat! You...how did you eat it faster? I'm so mad. Hurry up! Someone throw away the dog meat!"
"..." Ling Chi and Su Mei stepped into the temple, and saw a group of monks surrounding a crazy monk with torn shoes, torn hat, and torn cassock, snatching the dog leg from him.
As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, not to mention facing the siege of five or six monks, the crazy monk couldn't escape after all, the dog meat in his hand flew out during the snatching, and fell into a well not far away.
After a moment of silence, the crazy monk laughed and said, "I ate dog meat, and only one person relapsed. Now it's all right! Everyone will relapse."
"Ah!?" The leading monk broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said to the young monks: "What are you still doing in a daze! Quickly, quickly get out the dog's legs!"
The young monk hurriedly fished the dog legs with a bucket, but after fishing for a long time, he found that there was no dog meat at all, only a wine gourd.
Just when everyone was at a loss, the crazy monk had an extra dog leg that had been bitten through a lot, and he laughed and said, "Don't look for it, the dog meat is here!"
"Ah!?" The great monk said angrily, "Daoji, you're teasing me again! Okay... okay, okay, regardless of this matter, let me ask you, what day is today?"
The crazy monk known as Daoji gnawed on dog meat and asked, "What day?"
"You... why are you pretending to be crazy!?" The great monk put his hands behind his back, very angry, and went up to grab Daoji's arm: "Go, let's go see the elder, let's go!"
Daoji didn't want to go, although he was struggling, he couldn't resist the monk's strength, and he was about to be dragged away.At this moment, Ling Chi took a step forward and said, "But monk Daoji?"
Everyone froze for a moment, and looked over one after another.
Seeing this, the great monk's eyes suddenly brightened: what a benefactor in brocade robes and sleeves... Cough, benefactor.It's just that the woman next to her is a bit seductive, she seems to be the benefactor's concubine.
The great monk quickly let go of his hands and clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, did the almsgiver come to Lingyin Temple to offer incense?"
Ling Chi waved his hand: "I'm looking for Daoji, go and play."
The great monk's face froze immediately, and he was furious. If Ling Chi didn't seem to have a lot of background, he would have lost his temper.
On the other hand, Daoji looked at Ling Chi, his eyes flashed, he said with a smile: "He came to see me. Seeing that the benefactor is wearing a brocade sleeve robe at a young age, he must be a rich man. Could you give me some incense money and let me buy some?" drink?"
Ling Chi smiled slightly, and casually threw a gold ingot: "This money is enough for you to buy all the wine in the restaurant, is it enough?"
The big monk and those young monks were immediately attracted by the ingot of gold, and they were already greedy.
Daoji grabbed the ingot of gold and said with a chuckle, "That's enough, that's enough, thank you benefactor, my dog meat is delicious, do you want to try it?"
"I don't have the good fortune to eat your dog meat." Ling Chi said, "Why don't I make some small dishes myself, and let's eat some together?"
"Wow!" Daoji's eyes lit up, and his saliva dripped down: "Let's go, let's go!"
Ling Chi smiled slightly: "Please."
Seeing Lingchi and Daoji leaving like a charade, the monk's face turned red and white, and finally he punched the tree trunk hard: "Okay, Daoji, just wait, this matter is not over!"
Several young monks waited for the big monk to leave, opened the wine gourd, and drank in turn.
……
Just after leaving Lingyin Temple and walking to a deserted place, Ling Chi asked, "Jianglong, why did you become like this? Drinking and eating meat, can the Tathagata Buddha spare you?"
Seeing Ling Chi revealing his predecessor, Daoji chuckled and said, "Isn't this pretty good! So what about drinking and eating meat? After wine and meat pass through the intestines, the Buddha will keep it in his heart."
"Your words will spoil future generations of monks." Ling Chi laughed.
Daoji smiled again, and said, "If the world learns from me, it's like entering the way of a demon."
Ling Chi laughed lightly: "It's unreasonable, you only allow the state officials to set fires, but not the common people to light lamps." After a pause: "What's more, if Emperor Wu of Liang hadn't ordered the prohibition, you monks would have eaten meat in the first place."
"Hahaha, this moment is also the same." Daoji said with a smile: "The Buddha has thousands of faces, so we must adapt to local conditions!"
Ling Chi shook his head, and said: "I have also studied Buddhism, and your method is just to deceive ordinary people, which is useless to me. After all, isn't it to promote the influence of Buddhism and make people believe in you!"
"Hehehe..." Daoji smiled: "Don't tell me if you see it!" After a pause: "I heard that you have a long vacation, when do you plan to go back?"
*****************
Sorry for the late update.There is another chapter around the early morning, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, ?(′???`) compare your heart
Chapter 396 What is the use of this iron rod
"Go back before the Queen Mother's birthday." Ling Chi said: "There is still plenty of time, but you, who went to the lower realm to enjoy the happiness, but made yourself into such a ghost, what are you trying to do?"
"It's actually quite good." Daoji said: "Compared to the well-behaved days before, now I have released my nature, and my life is much more comfortable than before. But this kind of life can only last for a few decades, which is a pity. "
"Do you still want to continue like this?" Ling Chi asked.
"If possible, of course I would." Dao Ji ate two mouthfuls of dog meat and said, "Now I can eat when I want, drink when I want, and sleep when I want. It's such a joy to be revered. It would be nice if it could be done forever."
"Don't even think about it." Ling Chi said: "If you are a little Xiami reincarnated, it's fine, but you are one of the eighteen arhats. Buddhism will not let you go easily."
"So let's live these few decades, hahaha." Daoji can see it, and he looks happy every day. Maybe for him, reincarnation and rebirth are the same as human beings playing video games!
Ling Chi smiled slightly, and said, "When you stay in Lingyin Temple every day, what can you encounter? Why don't you walk around among the people, maybe you can encounter more interesting things."
"Yes!" Daoji said: "When I want to drink and eat meat, I will go around the city, and there will always be something."
Ling Chi nodded: "No wonder I didn't see you when I came to Lingyin Temple last time, so you have entered the city."
"Oh?" Dao Ji asked, "What did you come to see me for?"
"You made such a big commotion, of course I want to come and see." Ling Chi said: "After all, there is no monk like you in Buddhism."
"Hahaha, even you want to come and see, so it can be seen that my changes this time are still effective." Daoji said with a smile: "From now on, my Buddhism's influence in the East will be even wider."
Ling Chi shook his head with a smile, showing admiration for the efforts to promote Buddhism, but also helplessness for the ineffective promotion of Taoism.
There is no way around this, Buddhism pays attention to entering the world, Taoism pays attention to birth, one is dedicated to preaching to the general public, and the other wants to break away from the general public and go to the deep mountains and old forests to practice immortality alone. It is impossible to become a loyal believer of Buddhism a few times.
Fortunately, the emperors of China have always been very strong, so they did not let religion become a huge influence on the country like Europe did, so that they would not treat different people as heretics for the legitimacy of their respective gods, and beat them to death.
