"To me, this small difficulty is just a piece of cake!" Although Chen Jiu was seriously injured, he had experienced all kinds of hardships in the mortal world. Of course, he wouldn't be bothered by such a small restriction. Love Transmigration Book, You Only Come to 1 '51
It took Chen Jiu half a day to climb the mountain. Finally, he dragged his injured and weak body to the front door of the Faji Temple!
"Plop!" Chen Jiu could no longer hold back and fell to the ground.
"Ah, Brother, what happened to you? Why are you injured all over? "At this time, the two monks guarding the door rushed over to help Chen Jiu up.
"I … I worked for three years. Not only did I not earn a single cent, but I was also almost beaten to death by them. I was wronged!" Chen Jiu immediately started to complain.
"Damn it, Brother, you came to the right place. Come, follow us in!" They were all poor people, so they naturally sympathized with Chen Jiu. The two monks immediately helped Chen Jiu in.
There were several rooms, but there were only about a hundred monks in the Faji Temple. Many of them were squeezed into a few rooms, so they didn't live a rich life.
Even so, everyone took care of Chen Jiu and settled him down. They treated his injuries and provided him with food. After three days, Chen Jiu could finally move freely.
"Brother, now that you have recovered, do you plan to stay as a monk or go out and continue to mingle in the mortal world?" At this time, the monk who saved Chen Jiu asked again.
"I … I want to stay. Is that okay?" Chen Jiu pleaded. "I have no attachment to the mortal world!"
"Of course you can stay, but whether you can really stay or not depends on the master!" After the monk's explanation, Chen Jiu understood that the Faji Temple didn't accept just anyone.
Firstly, they had to be poor. Secondly, they had to have the root of wisdom and the fate of Buddha. If they didn't have these two qualities, then Fashan wouldn't be able to convert them.
"Then when can I see Master?" Chen Jiu thought that his foundation was pretty good.
"Let's wait for a few more days. Master usually appears once every seven days. At that time, he will decide whether to accept a new disciple or not!" the monk explained. Chen Jiu settled down again.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Chen Jiu, dressed in monk robes, entered the main hall of the Faji Temple with five other people to be inspected by Fa Shan.
"Ai, it wasn't easy for me to escape. If Master Fa Shan doesn't accept me, I really don't know where to go!" As they walked, one of them couldn't help but worry.
"We came here because we had nowhere else to go. Let's hope that we have the fate of Buddha!" The others echoed. Obviously, they were also a little scared.
He was just a monk. Why was he so strict? Chen Jiu was quite speechless, but he was quite confident. He didn't say anything and just followed the crowd.
Dong, dong, dong … After entering the main hall, they heard the rhythmic sound of a wooden fish. Chen Jiu and the others looked up and saw a monk sitting in the middle of the hall. He was knocking on a wooden fish with his back facing the crowd.
They waited for a while, but the monk still didn't stop knocking. A few people couldn't wait and went forward to ask.
Unfortunately, the monk still ignored them and continued to knock on the fish!
"This monk is so rude. We came to the main hall to be inspected and want to become monks, but we're actually left here. What's the meaning of this?" Then, a few people couldn't help but feel endless resentment.
Of course, Chen Jiu didn't say anything at this time. He waited silently. Naturally, he knew that the person knocking on the wooden fish was Taoist Master Fa Shan!
Buddhists paid attention to fate. They were usually very mysterious. When dealing with them, the more anxious you were, the worse it would be!
"Forget it. I'll go out and find a living person to ask!" One person was so anxious that he even took the initiative to leave the main hall. However, once he left, he never came back.
"This damned deaf man. I want to see if he's really deaf or just pretending to be deaf!" Another person was also anxious and angry. He came forward and grabbed Fa Shan's wooden fish, not allowing him to continue knocking.
"Benefactor, you're mad. You don't have the root of wisdom nor the fate of Buddhism. It's better for you to leave!" Fa Shan stood up slightly and began to educate him.
"Who are you? Why do you say that I don't have the root of wisdom? "The middle-aged man was quite unconvinced.
"Old Na Fa Shan!" Fa Shan said with a gentle face.
"What? You're Taoist Master Fa Shan? Why are you so young? "The middle-aged man was very surprised.
"Benefactor, go!" Fa Shan was too lazy to say anything else. He waved his sleeves and sent the middle-aged man down the mountain.
"Taoist Master, Taoist Master, please take us in!" The other three people fell to their knees and begged desperately.
"Ah, the Faji Temple is a temple to ferry people. Although it can help the poor, it doesn't accept everyone!" Fa Shan sighed and said, "Originally, if you could listen to my explanation, a cultivation technique would naturally appear in your hearts. You could then cultivate and transcend. However, you were interrupted. You really don't have the fate of Buddhism!"
"Taoist Master, we were wrong. Please give us another chance!" The three people regretted and blamed themselves. They kowtowed loudly.
"It's not that I don't want to take you in, but your fate of Buddhism hasn't arrived. Let's talk about you. You're still in the secular world. It's better for you to go back and live a good life!" Fa Shan shook his head and persuaded the first person.
"No, Master Celestial Master, that tigress can eat me up. She's insatiable every day. If I go back, I'll definitely be sucked to death by her!" The first man's face was filled with fear and trepidation.
"What? Your wife is so powerful? " The other two people's eyes couldn't help but shine. They had no choice but to come here. If there were women to enjoy, who would be willing to become a monk?
"Taoist Master, I think we should let the two of them go back with him. Together, they'll fill the tiger's mouth and enjoy the happiness together!" Chen Jiu couldn't help but suggest evilly.
"Although the young benefactor's suggestion is unconventional, it's still a solution!" Fa Shan wasn't a pedantic person. He immediately asked, "Are you willing to follow the young benefactor's suggestion and go back together to fulfill your Buddha nature and feed the tiger with your own body?"
"Thank you for your guidance, Taoist Master. We're willing!" The three people hit it off and were quite satisfied.
"Let's go. When you succeed, perhaps you can truly enter the embrace of the Buddha!" Chen Jiu waved his hand and drove them away as if they were familiar with each other.
"Young benefactor, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about Buddhism at such a young age. Are you really willing to join Buddhism?" Fa Shan looked at Chen Jiu seriously.
"Taoist Master, please take us in!" Chen Jiu put his palms together. It was obvious that he had converted to Buddhism.
