【Section 86】Inexplicable
The three of them rode horses and traveled dozens of miles. It took them nearly an hour to arrive at the Ciyun Temple that Wei Xun had mentioned.
Ciyun Temple is a small temple located in the suburbs. It is a one-story building with a few earthen bungalows painted with yellow paint. It can be seen that there are not many pilgrims and the incense is not popular.
The door is locked with an iron chain, and it seems that you cannot enter or exit at will.
Cao Yi'er knocked on the door, and after a long time, a voice answered. "The mirror is not a mirror. Where is the dust? Donor please come in."
Cao Yi'er took a closer look at the iron chain and realized that it was actually just a circle around the doorknob. The door was not locked at all, it was just hung casually on it. He couldn't help but smile. The three of them followed the words and walked into Ciyun Temple.
.
This temple is not big, but there is an earthen wall around it. There are only three rooms in the courtyard. One is the main hall, which is also the only room with wooden pillars, three doors, several futons inside, and an old statue.
The old Maitreya Buddha. The one on the left seems to be a bedroom, and there are cassocks and clothes hanging outside to dry. The one on the right seems to be a workroom or a kitchen, with some sundries and firewood outside. This looks like a
A poor temple with bare walls.
Cao Yier saw a short, fat monk, about forty or fifty years old, standing in the middle of the courtyard with a solemn expression to greet him.
"Master, we are looking for the presiding abbot. Please tell him that I am Cao Yi'er, who was introduced by Wei Xun."
"I am the presiding abbot. I wonder why the three benefactors came to this temple?"
"Hello, Master, what is your name?"
"The poor monk's dharma name is inexplicable."
"Master Inexplicable, we are here to pick up Fangyuan Lake on the orders of Wei Xun, a beggar clan traveler."
"Donor, we don't have Fangyuan Lake here. You've found the wrong place. We only have a group of monks."
"Master, we are not bad people, we are here to save him."
"There is no such person as Fangyuanhu in this temple, and I have never heard of him. Donor, please come back."
"Master, there are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties." Cao Yi'er remembered this secret saying.
"You told me earlier, there are so many towers in the mist and rain. It's inexplicable." The master had been waiting for the secret signal, but Cao Yi'er didn't say it for a long time, which made the master anxious. Yu Yilian and Nie Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing when they heard this inexplicable sentence.
come out.
And the master's whole person also changed from being reserved and serious to being lively and cheerful. "It's wonderful, come out quickly." The master shouted to the garden.
"Come on." A monk who was also short and fat ran out. The inexplicable master pointed at the monk and said, "This is my junior brother. His name is very interesting."
"Inexplicable... strange?" Cao Yi'er, Yu Yilian and Nie Xiaoxiao looked at each other with wide eyes. Yu Yilian had to cover her mouth to hold back her laughter.
"Donor, where are you from?" Qimiao asked.
"My name is Cao Yi'er, this is Yu Yilian, and this is Nie Xiaoxiao. We were sent by Wei Xun, a beggar gang's native traveler, to pick up Fang Yuanhu and leave Huai'an."
"Okay, I'll bring the reborn junior brother out." Qi Miao went back to the courtyard to find the reborn monk.
Cao Yi'er found that the monks in Ciyun Temple were very interesting, and their names were very strange. Generally, the names of monks were somewhat related to Buddhist scriptures and Zen principles, such as Yuantong, Ciyun, Puhui, etc. But these people were called inexplicably, Reborn.
Yu Yilian couldn't hold back her words. She was even more curious than Cao Yi'er and directly asked: "Master, how did you get this Buddhist title...it's so interesting."
"For this girl, the name is just a title. I think I will call her whatever I think in my heart. My junior brother and I feel that the world is incomprehensible, so I call it inexplicable, and he says he calls it strange."
Cao Yi'er sighed and said: "This is also the case. Although there are external fetters to which sect you belong to, as long as you are loyal to this matter in your heart, appearances are not necessarily important."
The inexplicable monk couldn't help but admire: "The donor's words are very Zen. Why shouldn't we learn Buddhism? As long as we have Buddha in our hearts, even if we drink alcohol and eat meat, it will be just a passing thing. Of course, killing and sexual intercourse are absolutely forbidden."
"You two look alike, are we brothers?" Cao Yi'er felt that the two monks seemed like brothers and asked casually.
"Yes, we are brothers and became monks together. Wei Xun is our relative."
Cao Yier thought to himself, no wonder they all have similar bodies.
"You three brothers, your behavior is endless. Wei Xun is obviously a blue-pole dirty-clothes sect, but you wear clean clothes."
The inexplicable monk said: "Wei Xun said that he is a dirty-cloth sect and a blue pole, but there is no need to make himself dirty. This is worshiping dirty-clothes, and there is no need to give up personal hygiene. I quite agree with it."
"Yeah, well, this means that what is in your heart is the most important thing."
However, Monk Miao came to Fang Yuan Lake, a handsome and thin monk with an oval face and no scar on his head.
Yu Yilian scanned the person up and down, and couldn't help but blurt out: "This...inexplicable...Master, this is a girl." Yu Yilian was good at disguise and make-up, and she could tell at a glance that this person was not a man.
