Miscellaneous Notes of the White Lotus School

Chapter 9

It's said that Min San talked nonsense all the way, or it was fate, but he went all the way unimpeded.However, after hearing the name "Gongsun Jing" today, he became inexplicably cautious.After exchanging greetings with Lan Qing, he pretended to be careless, took his mount, and as soon as he got out of Bayong Tower, he went straight to Bai Xian's residence, saw that Bai Xian was cooking outside that hut, and immediately asked: "Have you heard of Gongsun?" Jing's name?"

While cutting the beef, Bai Xian said: "I heard it." Min San asked again: "Who is this guy?" Bai Xian cut the beef as thin as a cicada's wing, sprinkled pepper on the left, added ginger on the right, and said while mixing "This Gongsun Jing teaches boxing in the martial arts hall. He usually studies the art of geomantic omen, and is especially good at home geomantic omen. Why? The leader wants to win him over? This fellow is capable of martial arts and lies, and he is on par with the leader! With this fellow's help, we It must be like a tiger with wings."

Minsan stared at the beef in Baixian's hand, thoughtful.This Gongsun Jing, to recruit or not to recruit?While hesitating, Bai Xian said again: "Master, Tiandaomen also wants to ask Gongsun Jing for help. If you want to recruit him, you must plan and act immediately. If this guy wants to see you, he will just make a good show with him. , by the way recruit him into the religion."

Min San thought about it for a while, and felt that it was not unreasonable.There is a saying that it is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to maintain a business. It is not difficult to deceive people once.In addition to the clear rules and precepts in the "Bai Lian Bao Jian", there is also a need for rituals of the religion, so that the congregation can serve his holy leader of the white lotus with one heart and one mind.Especially if you have intercourse with him, you must have a good name, so that the believers will be raped willingly.

Min San was thinking hard, and he didn't notice the strong smell of meat.After a long time, Bai Xian told him to go away, but Minsan couldn't hear him calling, Bai Xian lifted him up, threw him on the chair next to him, put down the plate of beef with the other hand, and said: "Master, it's time to eat meat. Eat and think about it later." When Min San saw the beef, his eyes lit up, and Bai Xian took the wine again, without mentioning it.

After tasting the wine and meat, Min San gradually regained his air, and suddenly said: "I have a plan." Bai Xian poured wine with him, and said, "Oh? What's the master's plan?" Min San picked up the wine bowl, took a sip, and leisurely Said: "Amitabha, the deity decided to open the altar to preach, please come and listen to Gongsun Jing." Baixian asked again: "What kind of teaching are you talking about? When will you talk about it?"

Minsan was familiar with "Bai Lian Bao Jian", and he knew the way. He was already familiar with reciting sutras. After a few drinks, he eloquently said: "On the seventh day of the first lunar month, it's Renren's day. All living beings celebrate their birthdays together, but have you ever heard of them?" Have you thought about why you were born? There are only a few dozen years in the world of mortals, and then where do you go? Why are you born as a human being? Restraining common thoughts, naturally returning to the hometown of Pure Land. The deity is scheduled to open an altar here in half a month, that is, on the seventh day of the first lunar month, preaching this truth. Master of Qingshui Hall, what do you think?"

Bai Xian clapped his hands and said: "It's wonderful, it's wonderful. With the master's eloquent tongue, it's not difficult to bring Gongsun Jing under his command, and his subordinates will try their best to help." Min San said again: "Let's copy a few passages of scriptures and write them all together. Really take a few men and send them to Wazi Dongxi Street, and they must be delivered to Gongsun Jing."

Minsan said again: "We still have to decorate the Bailian Temple." Then he got up and pulled Baixian into the hut.There are only a few chairs in the shed, a couch in the middle, and a broken curtain on the left, leading to the inner hall.Min San said: "Let's find a piece of white linen cloth, draw a white lotus with eight petals on a black background, and hang it on the wall behind the couch. Then get some rags and ropes, tie a few white lotus flowers, and hang them around. We are practitioners, so we don't need There are too many tricks to teach people to remember this white lotus."

Bai Xian asked again: "Master, can there be rituals before and after the sermon?" Min San said: "Of course, I have already thought about it. There is still about seven feet long and ten feet wide in front of the couch. Remove the tables and chairs, The believers sat on the ground, and it could accommodate more than a dozen people. On the day of the sermon, the believers sat down at the entrance, and the deity led the believers to pray to the old mother of lifeless." Min San paused for a while, and said: "Wait a minute, we still want to think of a song, bring The believers sing. Do you remember our nursery rhyme? Just add a few more words. After that, you take Qi Zhenling'er and kneel down to the deity three times and kowtow nine times, and watch with those who have not started. After the ceremony, the deity can preach, and then arrange a disciple , pretended to be moved to tears, and worshiped under the deity's door. Finally, we will sing together, and it will be done."

Baixian nodded and said, "Sure." Minsan asked again, "May I enter the inner hall to have a look?" Baixian said, "Master, please make it your own home." As he spoke, he lifted the curtain, and there were boxes and sundries inside. , there is almost no place for two people to stand.Min San just remembered that when he said goodbye at the wine shop that day, Bai Xian said, "Leave half a big bed for him", and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.Since there is no couch in the inner hall, if you stay here from now on, don't you want to share the same bed with Bai Xian?

At this time, Bai Xian put his arm on his shoulder, and said: "Master, is this inner hall useful?" Min San gestured to pull his hand away, but he couldn't move it. Furious, he said, "It's useful. Let's clean up these messy things first. Today is the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, so you can concentrate on piercing lotus flowers, dyeing cloth flags, and putting some organs on the beams so that a goddess can come and scatter flowers." Let's make up a few more Buddhist verses." After Min finished speaking, he asked Bai Xian to get his pen and ink, and took out his miscellaneous notes, pretending to be serious, and wrote quickly without mentioning it.

I didn't realize it was the seventh day of the first month.Previously Qi Zhen spared no effort, he praised the Lord Bailian whenever he met, he dispatched all of them in two hours with a stack of hundreds of scriptures, and nearly 40 people came to preach today.The main altar of the White Lotus Sect was also in order. Minsan invited eight musicians to sit in the inner hall and play music continuously.As soon as outsiders entered the hut, they first heard the lingering voice of the Buddha, and then saw the white lotus, and their hearts immediately calmed down a bit.There is a merit box in front of the door, and a few believers go to invest money every once in a while, and the rest of them see that someone is leading, and they follow suit without asking why.What's more, after investing a bunch of money, I have to pay a few visits.Baixian was very knowledgeable, and immediately returned the salute: "Amitabha, the lifeless old mother is on top, and protect the benefactor's safety."

Min Sanduan sat on the couch, seeing that the hut was getting full, he winked at Bai Xian.As soon as Bai Xian arrived, Min San quietly asked, "That is Gongsun Jing?" Bai Xian said, "I haven't arrived yet, I'll wait for him at the door." Min San said, "I'm afraid he won't come in because of the crowd." Bai Xian said "No problem, I'll leave him a futon." He pulled out a futon from the bottom of the bed, dusted it off, and put it not far from Minsan.

Nearly half an hour later, the shed was originally bustling with people, but Min San pretended to mutter sutras and gradually quieted down.I saw a person who came late, except for the bamboo hat, he just stood by the door.Bai Xian stood beside Min San and said in a low voice: "Master, that is Gongsun Jing." Min San said: "Okay, go and ask him to sit closer." Bai Xian asked Gong Sun Jing to sit in front of Min San, and then moved closed the door.

Min San took the opportunity to size up Gongsun Jing.He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his skin was as black as coal. As soon as Bai Xian closed the door, Gongsun Jing couldn't be seen, and his eyes were looking at Min San.Min San only thought that this guy was old and cunning, and when he saw that he was not as good as Bai Xian, he became proud, raised the copper bell at hand, and rang it three times, the musicians in the inner hall immediately fell silent.

At this time, Baixian led the worship and said: "All white lotus vegetables, see the Holy Master of the White Lotus!" Everyone also bowed down together: "See the Holy Master of the White Lotus!" Min San glanced at Gongsun Jing, seeing him looking around, bowed his head and worshiped him, in his heart Smiling secretly, he said again: "Everyone, please stand up. Today is Renren's Day, and it is really a good fate to gather here and celebrate your birthday together." Then he prepared the words of the previous night, sincerely, and narrated them, and everyone listened After that, he nodded slightly from time to time, which taught Min San to bring into the play.

Min San talked for a while, afraid that everyone would see the clue, and said: "Mother Wusheng is concerned about the suffering of all living beings, and sent her deity to the world to guide them. Mother Wusheng's great love is boundless. She helps people regardless of their background. Therefore, most people don’t know about it. If the salvation is only manifested in the deity, it is difficult to convince everyone based on the words of the deity’s family. Fortunately, there are two predestined people who are able to witness the salvation of the inanimate mother, and I invite two of you to come and speak.” Qi Zhenling'er told the story of what happened to the two of them that day, and everyone listened to it.

Qi Zhen was still calm, but Ling'er burst into tears while speaking, and said that Min San was his reborn parent, and he was willing to serve him for the rest of his life.Min Sandao: "Master Ling'er, you and I have shared weal and woe in the past few months. The karma is not shallow. The benefactor also has the roots of wisdom, and knows how to rein in the precipice and make up for it. This kind of self-examination is beyond the reach of ordinary people. If you have the heart of practice, you will succeed Zhengguo. Ling'er benefactor, would you like to become a member of Bailiancai?" Linger's pear flower was raining, but she was pleasantly surprised: "The believer was born in a humble family, and he has been in the land of fireworks. How can he be worthy of false advice on cultivation? The leader really wants to accept the believer?"

Min Sandao: "All living beings are trapped in the world of mortals. This teaching is practiced in the lay world. It is not to become a Buddha, but to live up to our inanimate mother and send us to the world. This teaching never asks about our background, let alone whether we are worthy or not?" It is rare for the benefactor to serve the deity wholeheartedly, serve the lifeless old mother, and now he has purified his heart for the benefactor.” He took off his belt and took out the words.

Seeing this, everyone immediately whispered.Min San said unhurriedly: "The body of this deity was transformed by Maitreya Buddha. The essence and blood in the body have Buddha nature, which can heal people's body and mind. After entering the religion and tasting the essence, the Buddha nature is integrated with the ordinary body. From then on, the body and mind Shu Tai, also teach the inanimate mother to recognize that you are a child of the mortal world, so you can be protected by the inanimate mother." After listening to this, everyone fell silent.But Ling'er couldn't wait, she fell between Min's legs, grabbed the thing and began to suck it fiercely.

Seeing this, Bai Xian retreated from the door, climbed up to the roof, and lifted the tile above Min San's head.After a while, another piece was lifted.Looking from inside the room, it was pitch black all around, and the glow was shining on Wei Minsan's head, reflecting Minsan's face, which was both comfortable and peaceful.After a while, Min San gradually became better, his breathing became heavier, his chest heaved unceasingly, he closed his eyes and looked up, facing the holy light above his head, just like an angel.However, Ling'er sucked to the sound of the water, and she was so lewd in the church. Min Sanyi raised her hand and rang the bell.

After a stick of incense like this, Min San gradually entered the state of transformation, and the sky spirit was covered with a radiant glow, and he let it out in Ling'er's mouth.Ling'er was afraid of missing a drop, so she raised her head to catch all of them, sucked up Min San's words, then tied his trouser belt, and retreated to the bed to bow deeply.

Minsan complied, and he said together: "Ling'er, you have tasted the holy water and you are a member of the White Lotus Sect. From then on, you must remember to abide by the religious rules, discipline yourself first, and then lead others to be good. Now Ling'er's cultivation is still inexperienced. After you learn the principles of this teaching, you can practice together with the deity, and seek the law of the unity of heaven and man, and in the future, you will be able to transcend the six realms and return to the pure land of bliss." Ling'er said happily: "Ling'er, a trustworthy man, thank you, Holy Master Bailian!"

Bai Xian took a black gauze scarf painted with white lotus from the side, and handed it to Minsan with both hands respectfully.In addition to Ling'er's scarf, Min San took over Bai Xian's and put it on with Ling'er.Ling'er was overjoyed, and bowed several more times.

After purifying Ling'er, Min San straightened his clothes and said leisurely, "Everyone, by taking advantage of today's sermon, I pray for the blessings of the lifeless old mother, and wish you all a safe new year." After speaking, he rang the bell again, and the inner hall Changing to a lighter and slower tune, Minsan stood up on the couch and muttered a sutra, saying it was a sutra, but babbling nonsense in Khitan dialect: "I like Bai Xian's roast beef, Crispy on the outside and fresh on the inside, it melts in the mouth, it is the best in the world, this Bai Xian's culinary skills are superb, it is by no means comparable to the Khitan cooks, if he cooks for our family every day, it will be a good thing." Everyone in the audience was silent. , that Bai Xian suddenly laughed, and glanced at him.

Min San felt chills in his heart, could it be that Bai Xian could understand Khitan dialect?In order to hide his panic, he stabbed twice in his sleeve and knocked down the petals on both sides of the beam, but he was distracted for a moment, and the stab missed.Min San secretly thought that something was wrong, Bai Xian immediately stabbed him and rounded up the situation for him, and immediately the petals were flying all over the sky. Min San opened his arms and said: "A vision from heaven, Maitreya came to the world. Venerable Bailian, save the common people."

Bai Xian also echoed: "Mother Wusheng, God's grace is great, save me ordinary people from reincarnation. We will use kindness as a boat to save all sentient beings. Human life is limited, kindness has no limit. Amitabha." Everyone chanted "Amitabha ", it happened that all the petals fell to the ground.

After the incident was completed, the crowd dispersed one after another, and several gentlemen rushed forward, calling "Master" repeatedly.Min bowed three folds together and said, "Amitabha. Donator, what can you do?" One said: "Master, I heard that Ling'er and Lan Qing from the Bayong Tower invited the leader to do the Dharma. After that, guests came like a cloud." The other said "Na Lanqing even said that first worshiping the old mother of Wusheng, and then worshiping the leader of Bailian, not only did you receive guests, but there were also many rewards!" Min San said: "Amitabha, all dharmas are destined. If you need the deity to practice the dharma Let’s help each other, we can talk later.”

That Gongsun Jing had just put on his hat and was about to tie a knot, when he heard the word "receive guests", he stopped, removed the hat, and turned to Min San, "Can the leader really help people receive guests?" Min San knew that he was interested. , Still wanting to catch him, he said: "Amitabha, today's time has passed. Afterwards, the deity will teach the scriptures behind closed doors. If the benefactor is willing to listen, we will meet again if there is a destiny. Please come back, benefactor." Seeing that Gongsun Jing's eyes were not without disappointment, he bowed to Xie Minsan, Put on a bamboo hat and hide in the crowd.

Minsan's military action is dangerous this time, it's obviously a play with Gongsun Jing, so he insists on using many tricks, for fear that he will know, and also afraid that he will not know.Will Gongsun Jing turn his head?And listen next time.
