"Little Monk, it's not easy being a monk. Why don't you renounce asceticism? I'll introduce you to someone! She's really pretty … "
Fangzheng was completely depressed when he heard that!
He wanted to commit suicide? Pui! Life was so beautiful. Although he had been scammed by the System, Fangzheng ultimately believed that he would renounce asceticism one day. The future was beautiful. Even now, it was not to say that he wasn't happy!
Why would he commit suicide in such a beautiful world? Also, who would commit suicide while holding a reed? Although it was only one …
That's right. Fangzheng wanted to emulate Patriarch Bodhidharma from back then, crossing the river on a reed! In fact, with the Savior shoes' powers, Fangzheng could cross the river as though it was flat ground. He looked extremely cool and it would definitely shock everyone present. It was cool and awesome!
However, Fangzheng knew very well that even Buddha could only cross the river on a reed. If he were to walk, wouldn't it mean that he was better than Buddha? Buddha might not mind, but the believers and monks would not be happy. After all, Buddha was everyone's spiritual sustenance. If someone were to surpass him, the disappointment would be too great.
Most importantly, it was a form of respect Fangzheng had for Buddha.
Also, although Buddha's crossing of the river on a reed was more of a myth, it was ultimately true. It wasn't too surreal. Fangzheng could also use it as an excuse. If he were to walk over, it would probably be quite troublesome. There would be no way to explain himself …
Therefore, Fangzheng had only done so after careful consideration.
When he saw the kind-hearted people shouting all sorts of nonsense, especially the one who wanted him to renounce asceticism and introduce him to someone, Fangzheng really wished to add him as a friend on WeChat. He could look for him when he renounced asceticism in the future …
However, it was not easy to do so in front of so many people. All he could do was bear with it.
In any case, he waved his hands at everyone and pressed his palms together. "Patrons, you misunderstand. This Penniless Monk does not wish to commit suicide. The world is like mud, and all life is trapped in it. This Penniless Monk wishes to redeem people from the mud, so why would This Penniless Monk commit suicide?"
"Uh, then … Little Monk, what are you doing?" Everyone was perplexed as they shouted.
Fangzheng pointed ahead and said, "This Penniless Monk is Mt. One Finger's One Finger Monastery's abbot, Fangzheng. This Penniless Monk received an invitation from Baiyun Monastery's Zen Master Baiyun to participate in the Spring Welcoming Blessing Dharma Assembly. Unfortunately, he encountered some difficulties and was unable to cross the river. This Penniless Monk has no choice but to imitate Buddha, Patriarch Bodhidharma, crossing the river on a reed. "
"Pu!" Someone spat out a mouthful of water.
"Crossing the river on a reed? Haha … This little monk is really amusing. He's bragging so much that I'm embarrassed to look at the sky. "
"The world is really big. There are all kinds of birds."
"Look at him, he's fair and clean, he's quite good-looking. Unfortunately, he's a lunatic …"
The captain also sneered and said, "Is this a clown hired by a monkey? Crossing the river on a reed … I'll give you a pile of reeds and you'll cross … cross … Oh my god … "
Before the boatman could finish his sentence, Fangzheng had already thrown the reed in his hand into the water. Then, he leaped up and stepped on it!
At that instant, everyone, regardless of whether they believed that Fangzheng would succeed, stared at Fangzheng with widened eyes. Perhaps they were hoping to see a joke or a miracle, but no one looked away. In the end, they really couldn't move their eyes away!
Fangzheng stepped on the reed, and no matter how many times the hearts of others sank, Fangzheng remained standing firmly on the river's surface. Beneath his feet was the reed! Then, with a wave of his hand, he struck out with a palm wind, and with a bang, he flew forward! He left a white mark on the water's surface!
"Heavens! This is a miracle! "
"Dog seller! F * * k me! "
"Is this magic? Isn't this way too godly? Who's that monk? "
The boatmen and Brother Black were instantly stunned in their spots. They constantly rubbed their eyes and muttered, "My eyes must be playing tricks on me. How is this possible?"
The river's surface shimmered as a mighty wind blew, bringing with it a few flakes of snow that blew from afar. The winter sun appeared a little cold, but the light that scattered on the water's surface was extremely dazzling.
And on the water's surface, a white-robed monk was waving his hands from time to time with a radiant smile as he floated across the water's surface! His white monk robes fluttered in the wind, making him look like an immortal. It was as though he was a true Buddha!
This scene was seen by Elder Du and the monks on Village Viewing Cliff. At that instant, everyone was stunned on the spot with blank expressions on their faces.
It was unknown who was the first to shout, "Crossing the river on a reed! It's really crossing the river on a reed! "
"If this isn't magic, and if this is real, then it would truly be a miracle! Years ago, Buddha came from the west and crossed the river on a reed. People treated it as a legend, but now, someone has really crossed the river on a reed. Amitabha! From now on, we can shut the mouths of the world, "said Zen Master Hongyan with a sigh.
Zen Master Baiyun asked, "Who is this person? How does he have such a divine power? "
Everyone exchanged looks and shook their heads. Only then did they realize that none of them knew the person who had crossed the river! Instantly, it turned awkward.
At that moment, someone said, "Could he be a monk from outside? I've never seen such a monk locally. "
"It's possible. Perhaps he's an accomplished disciple of some large monastery."
"Perhaps he's an accomplished monk …"
"Crossing the river on a reed is a skill. Skill does not represent his insights into the Buddhist Dharma. Accomplished monks look at the Buddhist Dharma, not martial arts. He's so young. He's probably lacking in the Buddhist Dharma. "
"Indeed. The Buddhist Dharma is profound and profound. Even if he began meditating in his mother's womb, it would be at most twenty years. Twenty years is just too short … "
Towards the end, it sounded a little sour.
Zen Master Baiyun suddenly said, "The Buddhist Dharma is all about perception. Once one understands it, one will be an accomplished monk. Everyone, are you willing to follow This Penniless Monk down to take a look? Let's welcome this master who crossed the river. "
With that said, Zen Master Baiyun had already descended the mountain. When everyone saw this, what reason did they have not to follow since Zen Master Baiyun was leaving? Therefore, they followed.
Only one person did not move. That was Wu Ming!
Wu Ming stood by the side of Village Viewing Cliff with an uncertain expression. He looked down at Fangzheng, who was on the water's surface. His expression kept changing. Apart from feeling shocked, he was also horrified. "Crossing the river on a reed. Crossing the river on a reed … How … How is this possible? He's just a young monk. What right does he have to cross the river on a reed? I'm doomed. I'm doomed. Once everyone confirms his identity and asks him why he crossed the river on a reed, Elder Du will definitely not hide the truth. When the time comes, I … I … "
Wu Ming felt like his brain was about to explode. He thought of countless solutions but none of them could help him survive the calamity. Finally, Wu Ming chose to retreat. He stayed on the mountain and refused to go down. No matter what happened in the future, he did not care. He accepted it. No matter what the future held, he accepted it.
