Chapter 234 True and False Monks
Yes, yes, yes! We hadn't noticed until you said that. Every time we came to the Guanyin Temple to worship the Bodhisattva, we would get a lecture from Master Mo Li.
They say that the reason our lives are so miserable is because we have done something to offend the Bodhisattva. No matter how devoutly we kneel and worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, it's useless.
After we die, we will surely go to the eighteen levels of hell, where we can neither live nor die. When I heard him say this, I was terrified and immediately asked him what I could do to avoid the danger of going to the eighteen levels of hell after death.
At first, I thought he would teach me to be vegetarian, chant sutras, and devote myself to Buddhism, but to my utter surprise, he actually said something to us.
To avoid financial loss and suffering in hell after death, one should visit temples more often to burn incense and worship Buddha. Bring fresh fruits and vegetables to the temple to offer to the Three Jewels.
Yes, yes, yes! Master Mo Li told me the same thing before, but one time he asked me to do something very strange. He asked me to bring a few small fish that I had just caught from the river to the temple.
At first, I was a little confused. Why bring small fish to the temple? Do the monks living in the temple eat fish?
But do they never touch meat again after shaving their heads and becoming monks? But...
Just as I was racking my brains trying to figure it out, I heard a few meows coming from behind Master Mo Li. I turned around and saw a little cat with shiny black fur.
I just realized that Master Mo Li asked me to bring some fresh river fish so that he could feed this little black cat. At that moment, I thought to myself, Master Mo Li is really heartbroken!
Haha! I had no idea when Brother Mo Li had ever owned a kitten with jet-black fur? Besides, he's terrified of kittens. Whenever he sees the old abbot's orange cat, he always picks up a stick and hits it.
When Yuqin heard someone hitting Fulai with a stick, she quickly picked up Fulai, who was lying on the square table, and put him on her lap.
Meow! Meow! Meow! Fu Lai raised its little head and meowed at Yu Qin a few times. Its little eyes immediately filled with tears, and it kept patting Yu Qin's palms with its two chubby little paws.
Seeing this, Yuqin frowned, and a very bad thought popped into her mind. Just as Yuqin was about to carry Fulai to the old abbot's room, she was blocked by two young monks standing next to her.
Yuqin instantly understood why the old abbot had suddenly fainted! And why Fulai had silently shed tears for her. She could only blame herself for being so immersed in the joy of Mu'er and Longzhen returning to the Yang residence with the children.
But for a moment she forgot to visit her godfather at the Guanyin Temple. If it weren't for her godfather's insistence on raising her and her sister in the Guanyin Temple despite the monks' objections, she might not be alive today.
She knew that her godfather had kept her and her sister in the Guanyin Temple and had endured countless malicious words. Some people even said to her godfather's face that since they had already shaved their heads and become monks...
You must strictly abide by the rules of Buddhism! How could you possibly have two daughters with a woman of unknown origin?
At the time, the old abbot kept defending himself, saying that Yuqin and her sister were not his daughters at all. He claimed that he found them one day when he was washing clothes by the river.
No matter how he explained, no one believed him! Some even asked him, "I have to carry a pile of dirty clothes to that little river you mentioned to wash them every day."
Why were you able to find a pair of twin sisters there while I couldn't? Isn't it obvious that you're lying and deceiving everyone?
Amitabha! We monks never lie to deceive others, and we monks cannot stand by and watch someone die. So I took these twin sisters, who were just over a month old, back to the Guanyin Temple to raise them.
This can be considered a good deed. If I hadn't rescued the twin sisters from the river, they would have surely died there.
Yes, yes, yes! There's a saying that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, isn't there? Aren't you just like me, pursuing fame and fortune on the path of Buddhism?
Don't think that just because you've spent all these years cuddling an orange cat and hiding in your meditation room, ignoring everything in the Guanyin Temple, you're some kind of true master.
This kind of charade can only fool those who lack any wisdom. But you absolutely cannot fool me!
The abbot was shocked to hear that his once most prized disciple was now, in order to protect his reputation, disregarding their past master-disciple relationship and constantly slandering him.
So he raised his trembling hand, intending to point at Mo Li's nose and say something to him. But for some reason, his hand swayed uncontrollably in the air.
Upon seeing this, Yuqin quickly pressed the old abbot's trembling hand into her bosom.
Zhuzhu, quickly use your little hands to pat the old abbot's back. The reason he's like this is very likely because he's been angered by some ill-intentioned people.
Zhu Zhu remembered that she still had a large amount of American ginseng oral liquid stored in her system. So she took out two bottles of American ginseng oral liquid from her system without hesitation.
Just as she was about to open the lid, Mo Li, who was standing to the side, suddenly snatched the American ginseng oral liquid from her hand.
When Mo Li held the American ginseng oral liquid in her hand, she began to examine it carefully.
Oh dear! I really never expected this! You, old abbot, look so kind and gentle on the surface, but you actually do some petty theft.
What? I've lived an upright life and never done anything petty or dishonest. Isn't it unfair to accuse me of stealing without any evidence?
Of course I have evidence of your thieving and dishonest behavior! That's why I said those things about you. We all know that you no longer have any relatives living in this world.
But how come you still have such an expensive American ginseng oral liquid? Besides, the young monks and nuns living in the Guanyin Temple all know that I am the only one in the temple who can afford this expensive American ginseng oral liquid.
Haha! Don't you think you're making baseless accusations? All the uncles and aunts present saw that I took this bottle of American ginseng oral liquid out of my pocket.
How could this possibly be your American ginseng oral liquid? Haven't you always claimed in front of everyone that you have a very high level of cultivation?
If that's the case, why would you be here slandering someone who only wants to cultivate themselves? I don't think you're genuinely trying to cultivate yourself.
