Chapter 363: Ji Gong is also from this time

~8 min read 1,412 words

Gu Qing faced the morning sun, inhaled slightly, adjusted his energy, swallowed, traveled throughout his body, gathered in the dantian, and then Gu Qing pressed his tongue against his upper palate, silently calculating the number of hearts, either three or nine, making his breath turn around in his five internal organs and six entrails, exhaling misty energy.

Today's work is done. Gu Qing folded back down the mountain and returned to Tongren Hall, then began to treat illnesses for the people. As for the appointment with Fa Hai, it seemed to have been thrown behind his head.

"The remnants of the Liang Prince's mansion are truly lawless!"

"I heard that the Liang Prince has already received retribution, and there are wounds all over his body."

"Deserved it!"

In this room, the patients here were discussing the news in Hangzhou City recently.

"That Liang Lian, the son of the Liang Prince's mansion, was killed by a knife, half of his body lying on the ground, and the lower half still standing."

A person in his thirties explained vividly: "After the observation and diagnosis of Magistrate Yang of this county, it was believed that the saying of mountain bandits was unfounded. It was all the monks in Changming Temple who saw wealth and greed, and killed them all, and took all the money they robbed. Magistrate Yang raided Changming Temple and dug out the silver."

"So it was done by the monks of Changming Temple!"

"The faces of the monks there were fierce."

The patients discussed enthusiastically. When Gu Qing heard that Changming Temple was raided by Magistrate Yang and the silver inside was dug out, he couldn't help laughing.

"Doctor Gu..."

An arm was honestly placed in front, and the visitor said weakly: "Recently, I felt a cold, and it hasn't been good."

Gu Qing raised his head, looking at the old woman in front of him, who was Li Qingzhao. The two had met once in Baojiashan. Seeing her this time, Gu Qing smiled at Li Qingzhao, then took her pulse and diagnosed Li Qingzhao's specific situation.

In the inquiry of pulse taking, Gu Qing learned that Li Qingzhao lived alone now, had no income, and spent her old capital every day. Li Qingzhao's old capital was very small, and her life was inevitably tight.

Li Qingzhao's complexion was heavy, saying: "Just like this illness, there is no one around to take care of me..."

Gu Qing prescribed medicine for Li Qingzhao and asked: "Have you ever thought about doing something?"

Li Qingzhao looked at Gu Qing suspiciously.

"Go to the nursery hall."

Gu Qing said: "The children there are all eager to read, but they have no resources. If you go there, you can teach them to read and write, and the reward is generous."

Li Qingzhao was originally tight in life and had no direction. Hearing Gu Qing's arrangement, she felt it was a bit to her taste, so she nodded to Gu Qing, indicating she would consider it.

Busy like this for a morning, Gu Qing sent all the patients away, sat in the backyard and dealt with two bites, then entered the courtyard, began to take snake venom, and was busy when he heard movement in the front hall. He walked out and saw two monks standing in the front hall.

The big monk was broad and fat, laughing, and the little monk was thirteen or fourteen, with extraordinary appearance. When Gu Qing came out, he couldn't help but look at the little monk twice.

"Are the two masters here to beg for alms?"

Gu Qing saw that the two didn't speak, so he asked first.

"Amitabha."

The big monk put his hands together, his voice loud, and said: "Huiyuan of Lingyin Temple has met Daoist Gu."

Huiyuan of Lingyin Temple?

Gu Qing heard this name and only felt familiar. In thinking, he returned a salute to this big monk and asked for the reason.

"The old monk came for the monks of Changming Temple."

Master Huiyuan put his hands together, ashamed and said: "April 15th is the day of the Buddhist summer retreat. On this day, the temple will hold a Lengyan meeting, light giant candles, burn big incense, morning bells and evening drums, morning and evening chanting scriptures, praying for the country's prosperity and the people's peace. The monks of Changming Temple are also like this, but the temple is different, the incense is different, and the specifications are different..."

"But our hearts for worshiping Buddha are all the same."

Master Huiyuan said these things, and then ashamed said: "The monks of Changming Temple had a delusion because of a moment of comparison, took the silver of the Liang Prince's mansion, and fell into prison. We are all Buddhist people, and have the friendship of helping each other. After thinking about it, the bell ringer needs to untie the bell, so I still found Daoist Gu, asking Daoist Gu to raise his hand and save the monks of Changming Temple."

Gu Qing heard this and couldn't help shaking his head. He didn't expect that he was still laughing at Changming Temple in the morning, and a monk came to the door in the afternoon.

"Changming Temple's matter..."

Gu Qing frowned and thought, feeling it was very difficult to handle.

"Daoist Gu."

Master Huiyuan hurriedly said: "Entering the temple to kill and set fire is a big taboo of Buddhism. Even if Daoist Gu is a Daoist person, it is inevitable that gods will avoid it. As long as Daoist Gu is willing to save the monks of Changming Temple, then on April 15th, we will set up an altar to chant scriptures and can seek forgiveness for Daoist Gu."

Forgive me?

Gu Qing wanted to mock, but suddenly looked at the little monk beside Master Huiyuan and asked: "Does the little monk have a Dharma name?"

This little monk was thirteen or fourteen, put his hands together, spoke clearly, and said: "The little monk's Dharma name is Daoji, practicing Buddhism in Guoqing Temple on Mount Tiantai."

Fine...

Originally Gu Qing felt that the other party wanted to forgive himself, and wanted to laugh a little. Now hearing that the monk's name was Daoji, Gu Qing felt it was very reasonable. Think about it, that Ji Gong is also from this time.

"Do you have any division for your forgiveness of me?"

Gu Qing asked: "Like setting ten levels for me offending Buddhism, and then eliminating one level at a time..."

"Daoist Gu."

Little monk Daoji said calmly: "Buddhism is vast, forgiveness comes first. We will not set these levels. As long as Daoist Gu is willing to take action, then on April 15th, we will cancel everything."

Gu Qing thought carefully. He implicitly dismantled the marriage of Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen, and blocked the grudge between Fa Hai and Bai Suzhen. These two items might have offended Buddhism. Although Gu Qing has been pretending to be pure, it is good to wash it.

"Fa Hai wants to duel with me on April 14th, also because the Buddhist meeting will be held on April 15th, right?"

Gu Qing nodded and thought of Fa Hai again.

"Zen Master Fa Hai has served Buddha for a thousand years, and his heart is very pious."

Master Huiyuan said: "On April 15th, he must go to the Dharma meeting."

Gu Qing looked at Huiyuan, and the future Ji Gong on the side, and asked: "If I defeat Fa Hai on April 14th, but the means used are not glorious, and even insult Buddhism, can this sin be washed away on April 15th?"

Master Huiyuan heard this and couldn't help looking at the little monk Daoji on the side.

"The big belly can accommodate, accommodate the things that are difficult to accommodate in the world."

Little monk Daoji said calmly: "Everything is empty after becoming a Buddha, where is there any insult or not? You just pee at the Tathagata Buddha, and after April 15th, it will all be revealed."

Gu Qing listened to little monk Daoji's words and felt that everything had a spectrum.

"Little Master."

Gu Qing smiled and leaned in front of Daoji, saying: "I feel predestined when I see you. Since you arrived at my place today, no matter what, I must treat you to a meal."

Getting a good relationship with this one can also be considered a temporary hug of Buddha's feet.
