In the back of the Fallen Leaf Temple, in a very ordinary and simple meditation room.
There was a small table, two plates of dried fruits, and three cups of tea. Master Kuye was receiving West-Hill Fairy, who had come from afar. West-Hill Fairy was kind and a lover of Buddhism. She didn't come for the Buddha's aura, but because she heard that Master Kuye was profound in Buddhism. She wanted to have a chat with him.
West-Hill Fairy said, "Master, I saw a plague on my way to the Lianyun Star. Why is there a plague in the Celestial World?"
There was no death or disease in the Celestial World. Plagues shouldn't happen.
Master Kuye nodded and said, "Someone brought it here, of course."
West-Hill Fairy asked again, "When will it disappear?"
Master Kuye said again, "Someone will take it away, of course."
Master Kuye was indeed profound in Buddhist doctrine. His words were so profound. West-Hill Fairy thought for a while and then smiled. She said, "Master is really profound. His ordinary words contain profound meaning. Some things are brought by people with intentions and taken away by fated people. This is how things should be."
Master Ku Ye also smiled and said, "West-Hill Fairy is also very perceptive. She's just like a little monk who just came to our temple." A little monk was a little monk who wasn't even twenty years old. From the outside, Ye Kong could be considered a little monk.
West-Hill Fairy didn't think there was anything wrong with comparing her to a young monk. She said, "He must be extraordinary to be valued by Master Kuye. I wonder if I can meet him?"
Master Kuye smiled and said, "I've already called him here. His name is Ye Ye. He's just a young monk who serves food in my temple, but he has an extraordinary understanding of Buddhism."
"Ye Ye? This name … "West-Hill Fairy shook her head and smiled bitterly. Wasn't this person taking advantage of others with such a name?
"Ye Ye? That's weird, "a woman beside her suddenly said. She was a man of few words.
As they were talking, Ye Kong walked in with his head down. He was depressed. He thought he wouldn't see West-Hill Fairy after turning down the job. He didn't expect Master Kuye to ask him to drink with her. He couldn't avoid it now.
Fine, I'm not afraid of you. Drinking with her is nothing. I can even have three escorts! Ye Kong thought shamelessly as he walked into the meditation room.
"Grandmaster Ku Ye, little monk Ye Ye is here. Please instruct me." Ye Kong chanted and raised his head. Only then did he realize that there were actually three people sitting at the table! Two women and one man.
The man was naturally Master Withered Leaf. It was also Ye Kong's first time seeing Master Ku Ye. He saw that he was thin and shriveled. He didn't know why, but it seemed like all eminent monks were like this. It was unknown how old Master Ku Ye was. The wrinkles on his face were deep, as if they were carved by knives and axes.
The other person's face was carved with knives and hatchets, and it was actually a woman.
Except for Xi Linglin, who was sitting like a white lotus. Beside her sat an old woman. The wrinkles on her face weren't the slightest bit inferior to Master Kuye's!
Ye Kong thought, Could this be Master Kuye's wife?
Ye Kong was still cursing when he heard Master Kuye say, "Ye Ye, you're here. Have a seat."
Official Ye could only walk over with his head lowered. There were four people at the table, each occupying a corner. Because Master Kuye's words had piqued Fairy West-Hill's interest, the moment Ye Kong entered, Fairy West-Hill turned back to look.
Fairy West-Hill thought to herself, Why does this person seem so familiar? She hurriedly looked at Ye Kong's face. Ye Kong realized that she was looking at him, so he hurriedly lowered his head. Fairy West-Hill lowered her gaze as well. The two were like a cat chasing a mouse. It was quite interesting.
Opposite Ye Kong was the old woman. The old woman burst into laughter. This time, she actually said a few more words. She said with a smile, "This Ye Ye is quite popular. He has old friends everywhere he goes." Clearly, she could tell that Ye Kong and Xi Linglin knew each other.
When Ye Kong heard this voice, he understood that this old woman was Fairy Chu Yiyi, who had asked him a question yesterday. However, Ye Kong really wanted to say to her, Big Sister, you made your face look like an old woman, but your figure is so hot. Such a tall chest tightly wrapped around you. How could there be such a strong old woman?
With Chu Yiyi's words, Ye Kong didn't hide anymore. He could only look up and say, "Fairy West-Hill, we meet again."
"It really is you." Xi Linglin saw Ye Kong and couldn't help but laugh. She didn't expect that the kid who had caused Salt Head Planet to be restless was now a monk here.
It was unknown if Master Kuye had already guessed something, but he also said with a smile, "I didn't expect Ye Ye to be old friends with Fairy West-Hill. I didn't expect that."
Ye Kong thought, You must have predicted something in the meditation room and deliberately arranged for me to come. I can tell from your smile that you did it on purpose.
"A monk doesn't lie." Ye couldn't help but remind him.
Master Kuye laughed and chanted the name of Buddha. He said, "If you know, you don't know. If you don't know, you don't know. Even the wind and the banner are moved. If your heart isn't moved, how would you know that I'm lying? "
Fairy West-Hill and Fairy Yiyi were confused, but Ye Kong understood. It turned out that the old monk was in contact with the Middle Emperor. After receiving news of Cao Xiaotian, he knew that Ye Kong was hiding in the temple and knew Fairy West-Hill.
Ye Kong also bowed and asked, "How is the Middle Emperor?"
Master Kuye replied, "He has been busy with some matters recently and has no time to take care of me. That's why he entrusted me to him."
Ye Kong thought, I hope Cao Xiaotian never comes back. Otherwise, if that old man sees me as a monk, he will definitely laugh at me.
At this time, Fairy West-Hill said again, "Master Ye, why did you call Wenkao Brother Elephant? Is there a Buddhist meaning in it?"
Hearing this, Ye Kong remembered that Xiling Lin was Peng Wenkao's sister. Damn it, are you here to denounce me for my crimes?
He hurriedly said, "Actually, elephants are a kind of auspicious sign. They are the mount of Buddha. I call Peng Wenkao Brother Elephant because I love him. But he feels that although elephants are strong, they are not very smart. That's why he is angry. "
"I see." Fairy West-Hill nodded seriously and asked, "However, I've never heard of Buddha riding an elephant. Master Ye, what's the story behind this?"
Ye Kong almost fainted. He thought that this place was Earth again. The Buddha here didn't ride an elephant.
He didn't know how to answer, so he said, "I guess Buddha rides an elephant …"
Everyone fainted. Chu Yixin said, "You guess Buddha rides an elephant, but I guess Buddha rides a bird."
Seeing everyone's expression, Master Kuye smiled and said, "I don't know what Buddha rides either. But today, there is a chance. Maybe everyone is fated to see what Buddha rides."
Xiling Lin raised her eyebrows and thought of something. She asked, "Could it be that Master Kuye wants to open the door to the Buddha Realm for us?"
Master Kuye nodded and said, "Everyone wants to see me and obtain the Buddha light of the Buddha Realm. But they don't know that this Buddha light can only be obtained by fated people. Those who are not fated with Buddha, even if they go to the Buddha Realm, most of them will return empty-handed. With my cultivation, the door to the Buddha Realm can only be opened once every five years. It just so happens that I can open it today. That's why I said that the three of you are fated. "
Hearing that they could obtain the Buddha light from the Buddha Realm, the three of them were overjoyed. Not to mention a layman like Ye Kong, even the indifferent Xiling Fairy said in surprise, "I didn't expect to be so coincidental this time. I haven't been to the Buddha Realm before. It's secondary if I can't obtain the Buddha light. It's already a great fortune to be able to go to the Buddha Realm to have a look."
Fairy Yixin returned to her attitude of being a man of few words. She nodded and said, "It's very fortunate."
Ye Kong asked, "Master, where is the door to the Buddha Realm?"
Master Kuye smiled and said, "In the heart, in the hand, with the Buddha's will, you can see the door to the Buddha Realm."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand. He didn't use any Dharma art, but a huge golden door with the word "Buddha" engraved on it appeared out of nowhere in the room. The door was shining with golden light, and there was actually a melodious chanting sound coming from it.
"Please." Master Kuye raised his hand.
Xiling Lin went over first and chanted the name of Buddha. The door opened, and she floated in like a white lotus.
Then, Chu Yixin, who was disguised as an old lady, also followed.
The last one was Ye Kong. Just as he was about to enter, he heard Master Kuye say, "There's only one chance to obtain the Buddha light."
Ye Kong knew that Master Kuye hoped that he could obtain the Buddha light. Immediately, he felt grateful and bowed to Master Kuye. Then, he shouted, "Amitabha!"
The golden door opened, and he strode in.
Ye Kong, Xiling Lin, and Chu Yixin entered the Buddha Realm. When they walked out, they happened to be in a city.
This city was extremely prosperous. Everyone had a smile on their faces. When they saw each other, whether they knew each other or not, they greeted each other with Buddha etiquette. The city was quite large. In the distance, there was a huge golden statue of Bodhisattva towering into the clouds. Under the illumination of the sun, the golden light was magnificent. Around the statue, there were countless Buddhist pagodas.
Xiling Lin said, "I wonder where the Buddha light is. I think there's a Buddhist temple on the other side of the statue. Why don't we go there to search? "
Chu Yixin was a person of few words, so she nodded in agreement. Ye Kong didn't have any objections either. The three of them walked towards the huge Bodhisattva statue.
The Buddha statue didn't seem far, but when they really walked there, they walked for a long time.
However, after walking for a long time, the three of them had a deeper understanding of this city.
On the surface, the people of the Buddha Realm seemed to be extremely happy. But when they looked carefully at the dark corners of the streets, there were still people in ragged clothes. There were still people begging on the streets. There were even thieves who wanted to lay their hands on Ye Kong and the others …
When they came to the foot of the Buddha statue, they saw that it was indeed an incomparably huge temple. On the lintel of the door, there were two huge words "Buddha Forest". On the pillars on both sides of the door, there were "Deliver all living beings from suffering" and "Buddha is merciful".
When Ye Kong thought of those beggars and poor people, he couldn't help but sigh. "I didn't expect there to be rich and poor in the Buddha Realm. Where is the true heaven?"
Just as he finished speaking, he heard someone murmuring not far away, "When there's no greed, the heart is a heaven. When there's greed, the heart is a hell. "
