Miscellaneous Notes of the White Lotus School

It is said that Min San fell into Fengyue, but taught Tiandaomen to be tied to the mountain. As a result, he came out of the village, and there were more than a dozen believers.I saw Bai Xian leading the mule, walking slowly, with eight white-clothed believers on both sides, like stars supporting the moon, protecting his left and right.The first time Min San saw the "Treasure of the White Lotus", he thought that one day, there would be such a scene; now his wish has come true, his heart is floating, it is better than traveling in Wushan, making him laugh out loud.Hearing this, Bai Xian raised his head and asked, "My lord, what are you laughing at?"

Min San concealed it and said: "Your arrogance just now is even better than that of Changshan Zhao Zilong, it really taught me to admire you!" Bai Xian said seriously: "It's more than arrogance? To tell you the truth, our family really has a few sharp axes, and it's not just for show. If you teach me how to ride a horse, it will be like a tiger with wings added." Min San said: "I can't teach you, you are a huge monster, if you ride on my horse, won't his legs be broken? The mule is tall enough to fit your figure." Waiting for Bai Xian replied, Min San asked again: "You haven't told me yet, what's the background of your former employer?"

So Bai Xian slowed down and said, "Tiandaomen was originally a small cottage. Once there was an earthquake in the middle of Sichuan, the man surnamed Gao took us to the Tongchuan area for disaster relief, and saved nearly a thousand people. After the settlement was settled, Then every family paid tribute money. The villagers saw that we had saved our lives, and they didn’t dare to refute, so they obediently offered all their belongings. So my boss gradually became defiant, and even the government was dismissive. Later, just like Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, they annexed The surrounding small villages have become the Tiandao Gate today."

Min San nodded slowly following the mule's footsteps, and asked again: "What is the Khitan treasure? I have never heard of it in the 20 years of Hou Liao Dynasty. Did you hear about it when you were under his command?" Bai Xian said: " Back then, our family followed him up the mountain to find this thing. Our family was born as a merchant, and we had no choice but to become bandits. We wanted to find the treasure, so we washed our hands on the gold plate. It’s just that the current situation is forcing, if you can enjoy the peace and happiness, who still wants to rob people’s money?”

Min Sandao: "It's true." Bai Xian smiled slyly: "So, my lord, we have to take a step forward to find the Khitan treasure, and then we can rest easy for the rest of our lives." Bai Xian's words awakened the dream Man, Na Minsan couldn't help tightening his legs, clamped the mule violently, and said: "Bai Xian, could it be that you came close to me because of the Khitan treasure?"

Bai Xian did not avoid suspicion, and said bluntly: "This is one of them, our family feels that you have a clue." Min San was stunned, Bai Xian turned to stare at him and said: "Second, our family appreciates the venerable, how dare you To be alone, to bluff and cheat in a foreign land, is really courageous! Whether this treasure is fake or real, I can prove it alone. But it is a great pleasure to have the venerable along the way."

Minsan snorted and said, "You just want treasures. You don't want to be a monk after fasting?" Bai Xian bowed slightly and said, "Amitabha. The venerable is a layman. He is an ordinary monk. How can our family Don't you dare? But the Venerable is a man of idleness, not disturbed by common affairs, and money and wealth are naturally not bothering the Venerable. But our family is a layman in the final analysis, lacking money, and unable to walk an inch. But our family has the same surname The difference is high, never coercion, always loyal first. After finding this treasure, divide it into three shares, one for you, one for me, and one for the rest of the believers, all scattered things. From then on, you pass on your teachings, and I enjoy My blessings, parted ways, each developed. What does His Holiness think?"

Min San said: "That's good, but I didn't deliberately hide it from you. I really don't know what treasure is, and I don't know where to find it." Destined person, help you remember this. But before finding the treasure, our family sincerely followed the Venerable. In the past few days, our family left early and returned late. We did not go to the Bayong Tower to pay respects to the Venerable, but we were preparing something. His Holiness will be delighted to see it."

Arrived at Bai Xian's residence, entered the gate, everyone praised the elegant and spacious courtyard, Bai Xian led the mule to the hut, pointed to the dilapidated thatched hut beside him and said: "Everyone, this is the main altar of our sect. Our Bailiancai He is a practitioner, he does not live in Qionglou, he does not wear fancy clothes, and he always introspects himself." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Bai Xian greeted Min three times into the house, invited him to sit on the couch, put his palms together and said: "Welcome to the return of the venerable. Your lord will wait a moment, and the subordinates will go to fetch the sacred objects of the sect." After a while, he brought out a collar tooth from the inner hall. Bai held a bell, a plain white gauze and azurite-rimmed Pilu hat, and held it in front of Min San, knelt down and said, "Venerable Bailian, my subordinates are nothing more than ordinary people, with dull talents, chaotic mind, and no distinction between good and evil. Your lord Just like a bright light in the sea of ​​suffering, teach me that there is no limit to the world, and I will not get lost. The road of practice is long, and the venerable has led us to the path of Bodhi, please forgive my abruptness, and I enshrine the venerable as the lord of the white lotus."

Before Minsan could answer, Baixian took the bell and put it on with Minsan. Just as he was about to put on the Pilu hat for Minsan, Minsan pressed his hand and said slowly: "Amitabha, Lord Bai, please listen to this deity. In a word. The White Lotus School got its name from the Patriarch Cizhao Master. It is originally a branch of the Pure Land School of Buddhism. It advocates that laymen practice their own practice. There is no such thing as preaching and teaching disciples. However, the deity is Maitreya. He was ordered by his mother to go deep into the world It is really inappropriate to lead people to be good in the mortal world, so as to escape the suffering of samsara, and to call themselves the White Lotus Sect and disturb the disciples who practice alone. Therefore, the deity under the seat is called the White Lotus Sect, and the deity is the Holy Master of the White Lotus." Then he buckled the bell, took off the Pilu hat in addition to the headscarf, and put it on his head.

Bai Xian immediately said: "All the white lotus vegetables, see the holy leader of the white lotus!" He took the lead and knelt down to worship him.Everyone knelt down and worshiped: "See the holy master!" Min San said: "Amitabha, everyone, please rise. Thank you all for going through fire and water to help this deity escape from birth. You are the deity's great kindness, and this deity will never forget it. The inanimate mother is omniscient and omnipotent. I will bless you all."

Bai Xian said again: "The holy leader blesses the people, benefits the common people, saves all living beings from water and fire, and avoids the chaos of the world. It is the destiny to follow the leader, protect the leader, and spread the Dharma for the leader. It is a blessing for the three generations." He took everyone to worship three times.

Min San said: "Everyone, please rise up." And said: "Bai Xian." Bai Xian said: "Master, my subordinates are here." Min San said: "Your Excellency has dedicated yourself to this teaching, and I am very comforted. I allow you to be my teaching. Master of Qingshui Hall, I wish you to do good deeds and accumulate virtue in the name of Wusheng Old Mother, and purify the world in every word and deed." Bai Xian bowed with five bodies bowed: "Thank you for the kindness of the Holy Teacher, I will definitely live up to the instructions of the Holy Teacher and the Wusheng Old Mother High hopes!"

Min San nodded leisurely, waved his sleeves to the armchair beside him, and said, "Master Bai, please take your seat. Ladies and gentlemen, the retribution of the future life is far away in the sky; the retribution of the present life is close in front of you. Before you can discipline others, you must first discipline yourself and take precautions." Green onion, milk, wine, meat, don’t kill, don’t speak nonsense.” Everyone obeyed and paid homage several times, Jiao Minsan was very happy in his heart.Afterwards, Bai Xian prepared several vegetarian dishes and greeted everyone. Everyone was [-]% full and dispersed at night.

The matter of Bai Xian and Minsan's treasure hunt has prepared such a big show, and Minsan's going back to Ruanrou Township is already degrading his dignity.Although he was full of reluctance, Min San still bid farewell to Bayong Tower for the time being, and went to live in Bai Xian's house, and returned to Bayong Tower the next day to pick up his mount.This day Yuan Wen was not around, Lan Qing leaned against the door, watching the people coming and going, with a smile on her lips.As soon as he saw Min San coming, he stepped forward and said, "Welcome Venerable Bailian."

Min San smiled and said: "Lord Lan Qing, I haven't seen you for a few days, you look pretty good!" Lan Qing blushed and said, "To tell you the truth, my family finally received a benefactor yesterday. But he doesn't mean to drink, his body Holding the servant's house, but thinking of the venerable." Min San wondered, "How do you say that?"

Lan Qing stepped forward and took his arm, and whispered: "Before we had sex, we first paid homage to Wu Sheng's old mother, and then worshiped Venerable Bailian. The man thought it was strange, so he asked me about the Venerable, and asked me one after another, I don't even ask about my slave's affairs." Min San was afraid of being cheated, so he asked: "Who is this predestined person?" Lan Qing said: "Fu's surname is Gongsun, his name is Jing, he is a geologist. I mentioned Bailian Zong, he said that he had also heard a little bit about it, and it would be a blessing from his three lifetimes of cultivation if he could pay homage to the Venerable."

Min Sanyi heard that he was a geologist, and when he heard his tone of voice, he vaguely felt that he had met his opponent, and was timid for a moment, and then he was fascinated, wanting to see the true face of this son Lushan.Is this Gongsun Jing an enemy or a friend?What countermeasures do Minsan and Baek Hyun have?Next time we will find out.
