Arhat who subdued the dragon was reincarnated, and the lay name of this generation was called Li Xiuyuan.

Later, after his parents died, he ran away from home and went to Lingyin Temple, where he became a monk and taught Taoism.

According to today's Buddhist hierarchy, Fahai's seniority is higher than that of Daoji. Therefore, even if Daoji is the reincarnation of Arhat Subduing the Dragon, when he sees Fahai at this time, he has to call him Patriarch.

But the truth is this: if Fahai really met Daoji, he would not dare to make excuses in any way. He would just call him Taoist friend and not dare to ask Daoji to bow down.

Even though Monk Daoji is crazy and crazy all day long, he is actually very arrogant and does not pay attention to ordinary monks at all. Although Fahai has profound Buddhist teachings and lofty realms, Daoji rarely interacts with him and has never interacted with him in his life.

Been to Jinshan Temple.

Even though he resolved many unjust cases and rescued many people from hardship in Zhenjiang, he was still too lazy to go to Jinshan Temple to register.

One reason is that Fa Hai was still angry and still remembered Bai Suzhen for stealing elixirs in the past. He had not let go of his hatred for snakes and insects, and was looked down upon by Daoji, so he was too lazy to go to Jinshan Temple to meet Fa Hai.

Another reason is that Fahai holds the purple gold alms bowl given by the Buddha. Its origin is very important. Buddhist disciples see the alms bowl as if they are seeing the Buddha. As a disciple of the Buddha and the head of the Eighteen Arhats, Jidian will definitely not kowtow to the alms bowl in Fahai's hand. Therefore, it is

To avoid embarrassment, I won’t go to Jinshan Temple.

Fahai also looked down upon Jidian a bit.

For Fa Hai, promoting Buddhism, saving the world, collecting medicinal materials, treating patients, reducing poverty for the people, and protecting the safety of the people in the place are what a powerful monk should do.

But Ji Dian, who is trying to gain fame, does some shitty things that are specific to a single family. Even if he saves one life a day, he only saves more than 300 people a year, so that's no use!

In the disgrace of Jingkang, the capital of Song Dynasty moved south, and hundreds of thousands of people were killed or injured. Why didn't Jidian come forward to rescue the people?

Swordsmen and soldiers were everywhere, and during the turmoil, hundreds of thousands of people were left alone to save others, and then in times of peace, they came out to pretend to be good people, pretend to be gods and ghosts, fool the people, rescued a few people, and were honored as living Buddhas. It is really ridiculous!

If even a person like Jidian can be called a Buddha, then every capable minister in the court and every saintly son of heaven has greater merit than the Buddha. They are the Buddhas who deserve the name. Jidian saved them.

People can’t even compare to someone else’s fraction!

Therefore, Fahai looked down on Ji Dian's small kindness and righteousness. He spent the whole day either helping his boss with a lawsuit, helping the Xi family pay off gambling debts, or catching the cuckold's real owner in the south, etc.

Wait, some trivial things, long-winded, seemingly benevolent, but actually of no use to the overall situation.

Fahai himself took advantage of the convenience of Jinshan Temple to gather wealthy believers, build river embankments, purchase medicinal materials, eliminate evil spirits, enlighten people's wisdom, try to reduce people's fights, resolve hostility, and solve many bad things from the root cause.

After he moved into Jinshan Temple, for decades, there were almost no major criminal cases or unjust, false or wrongful convictions within a hundred miles around Zhenjiang, and the criminal record was decreasing day by day. This method of treating "diseases about to arise" is the law.

Hai has always maintained that.

The two people looked down on each other, so they only met each other occasionally, just by nodding and passing each other, and they never talked freely.

Even when he came to the shore of the West Lake today, Fa Hai never thought of visiting Lingyin Temple. He is a great sect in the current Dharma sect. In terms of status, he is only higher or lower than the monks in Lingyin Temple, but he is not visible.

Monks near the city of Hangzhou went to visit him.

Now when he heard Yang Xingzhou talking about Li Xiuyuan, Fahai was slightly stunned and saluted, "It turns out that Senior Yang has an old relationship with Elder Daoji. No wonder he has such magical power and magical powers."

Yang Xingzhou said: "What are you talking about? Does it mean that the people Li Xiuyuan knows must be highly cultivated? Fahai, have you seen him recently?"

Fahai shook his head and said: "I have little contact with Elder Daoji. How can I know where he has gone?"

Yang Xingzhou said: "Monk Daoji is not a good person. I have long disliked him. Since you seldom interact with him, it shows that you are not good friends with him, and you must be a clean and self-respecting person. Damn it, Ji Dian spends all his time

It stinks so much that it’s annoying just to look at it!”

Fahai quite agrees with Yang Xingzhou's words. In his opinion, even if Jidian wants to play in the world, he should at least change into neater clothes. It's okay if they are worn out, as long as they are clean, and there is no problem with patches on top of each other. In the end,

The important thing is to keep it clean.

Now I am like a beggar all day long, eating meat, drinking alcohol, and craving for food. How can I be called a disciple of Buddhism with this image?

It would be fine if he were an ordinary monk, but he was the reincarnation of Arhat Subduing the Dragon. In the future, this image would perform miracles and be passed down to future generations. If monks all over the world imitated it, they would all say, "Cultivation of the heart but not the mouth."

"Sit down" are all the sins of Monk Daoji.

After all, there are most mediocre people in the world. It is difficult for ordinary monks to achieve positive results by observing the rules and precepts, let alone those who do not abide by the precepts. I am afraid that their lifelong practice will be ruined by the so-called "cultivating the mind but not the mouth".

Although Fahai agreed with Yang Xingzhou's words, he couldn't say it clearly. He just said: "Elder Daoji is just slovenly, and his way is different from others. If others want to learn from him, they will fall into the devil's way sooner or later. Yang Xingzhou, a little monk, travels around the world, and his compassion is evil, but

Sometimes things are a bit reckless, and I really can't help but disturb my seniors this time."

He saluted Yang Xingzhou and said, "Senior, if you don't have any instructions, I will leave now."

Yang Xingzhou thought for a while and said: "If you have nothing to do, you might as well go and sit in my mansion. I just bought a mansion and I am short of monks and Taoists to clean it. You came just in time. You can do rituals in my yard. Let's go."

Light drives away ghosts and purifies impurities.”

Fahai: "..."

You are so awesome, why do you still need me to clean up a house?

What kind of monsters would dare to live and cause trouble in your yard?

Hundreds of ghosts in the world return to Han Palace, and ten thousand demons come to Wuyun. You dare to provoke Han Palace. Which ghost dares to be rampant in front of you?

He secretly slandered in his heart but did not show it on his face. In addition, he was really curious about Yang Xingzhou, and thought to himself: "How can we miss an expert? This Mr. Yang has great supernatural powers, deep magical power, and his divine light is righteous but not evil. I don't think he is an immortal descended from heaven."

He is the reincarnation of a powerful person, and if you can discuss the Tao with him, you will definitely benefit a lot."

So he nodded and said: "Sir, if you invite me, how dare you, a young monk, to disobey me?"

Yang Xingzhou smiled and said, "Okay, come with me!"

Hold an umbrella and go ahead.

Fahai followed behind and saw that Yang Xingzhou was walking and dressed like an ordinary person, without any of the postures of the Immortal Buddha. He was shocked in his heart: "Buddha once said that Buddhist disciples cannot show others their supernatural powers, otherwise they will enter the evil path and deviate from the right path.

Dharma door. But Jidian and I almost all use magical magic to show the world the cultivation of Buddhism. Have we also deviated from the Buddhist path and taken a wrong path?"

Thinking that I have been cultivating Buddhist supernatural powers for many years, I almost forgot that even magical powers are only a companion item in the practice of Buddhist disciples. What really matters is the cultivation of Buddhism and the state of mind. As for other means of subduing demons, they come second.
