I really don't want to be a teacher

On the side, a monk in cassock handed a yellowed old scripture to the old monk Juexing.

Hearing the sound, the old monk Juexing stretched out his trembling hand slightly slowly, and took the scripture.

After spreading it on his lap with some difficulty, the old monk Juexing turned his head and looked at the group of believers who were sitting or standing around him.

"Jiejing, go get some more futons... Let all the benefactors sit down." The old monk Juexing turned his head with some difficulty, and said to the monk sitting next to him.

Hearing the sound, Jiejing monk was ready to get up.

But at this time, Fakong, who was sitting in front of the old monk Juexing, laughed and said:

"I've all sat down, how to distinguish the status of the benefactors?"

Hearing this, the old monk Juexing turned his head, held his breath, and replied with some difficulty:

"Before my Buddha, all living beings are equal, how come...how come high and low?"

"Yes, there are..."

Hearing this, the old monk felt silent.

After a long time, he just turned his head and said to Monk Jiejing,

"Let all benefactors sit down."

This time, Fakong didn't make a sound.

After a rustle, the surrounding believers also sat down on the futons.

The old monk Juexing turned his head around slowly with great effort, then lowered his head again.

Stretching out trembling hands, the old monk Juexing caressed the old scriptures and began to recite,

"...Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, practicing the deep prajna paramita for a long time, sees that all five aggregates are empty, and overcomes all hardships..."

The old monk Juexing recited the Heart Sutra word by word, as if using all his strength.

In the backyard of the temple, under the ginkgo tree, it became more and more quiet, only the voice of the old monk Juexing could be heard.

"...Shariputra is the empty appearance of all dharmas, neither born nor destroyed..."

As one of the Heart Sutras was recited downwards, the face of the old monk Juexing became more and more red, but his voice became lower and lower.

"There is no ignorance nor the end of ignorance, nor even old age and death, nor..."

In the end, the head of the old monk Juexing gradually lowered, the sound of chanting turned into a whisper, and finally completely calmed down.

Suddenly, under the ginkgo tree, there was complete silence,

"...Because of having nothing to gain, Bodhisattva, according to Prajna Paramita, there is no hindrance in the heart; no hindrance, no terror, far away from reversed dreams, and ultimate Nirvana."

In front of the old monk Juexing, the monk Fakong stared at the old monk Juexing. After a pause, he put his hands together and continued the scriptures that the old Juexing hadn't finished reading, and continued to recite.

at the same time,

Under Lian Ge's eyes, the old monk Juexing's soul gradually left his body.

Chapter 132

There is neither Buddha light nor miracle.

The process of leaving the body of the Juxing old monk's soul is not much different from that of ordinary people.

Watching the soul of the old monk Juexing who had already left his body, Lian Ge still stood quietly in the same place, neither making a sound nor intentionally appearing.

After the old monk's soul left his body, he was dazed at first, but then, his strong obsession quickly woke him up.

The old monk Juexing turned his eyes, looked down at his body, and then turned his head to look at the monks and believers who were chanting sutras and Buddha around his body.

Immediately afterwards, the old monk Juexing was silent.

After standing still for a long time, the old monk Juexing remained silent, looked up at the ginkgo tree above his head, turned around again, and walked towards the meditation room next to the backyard.

Lian Ge took a look at the old monk Juexing, then walked around the crowd and walked to the meditation room.

The old monk Juexing looked at the meditation room in front of him. Although he knew that he had passed away, he couldn't help stretching out his hand and pushing the door.

The soul passed through the door in an instant, and the old monk Juexing silently withdrew his hand when he saw this, and walked straight through the meditation room.

Lian Ge turned his head and glanced at the monks who were either bowing their heads and chanting, or staring at the old monk's body, turned around, pushed open the half-hidden door, and walked in quietly.

The movement of the door opening did not attract the attention of the monks, but it made the old monk Juexing turn around,

"Are you... the benefactor from before?"

The old monk Juexing said, as if realizing that he was a ghost, he shook his head again.

Lian Ge heard the words, glanced at the old monk Xing, smiled slightly,

"Benefactor, can you see me?" The old monk Juexing noticed Lian Ge's gaze and reacted.

Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded slightly.

"The benefactor is indeed a man of great wisdom." Seeing this, the old monk Juexing couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Hearing this, Lian Ge didn't answer the words, glanced at the slightly simple meditation room, and looked at the old monk Juexing again,

"Monk Jue, you seem to be obsessed with it."

"Don't hide it from the benefactor, the poor monk does have obsessions." The old monk Juexing also looked at the meditation room in front of him and nodded in response.

Lian Ge heard the words, glanced at the old monk Xing, and waited for his next words,

"The poor monk originally thought that when he passed away, he could see the patriarch, my Buddha, but he never expected... Maybe the Buddha is the obsession in the poor monk's heart.

Also, since the poor monk has obsessions, how can he see my Buddha.However, the poor monk was ordained at the age of nine, and he has practiced Buddhism for more than eighty years, how can he let go..." The old monk Juexing put his hands together, with a painful expression on his face.

Hearing this, Lian Ge took another look at the old monk Xingxing,

Withdrawing his gaze, Lian Ge looked outside through the window of the meditation room.

His eyes glanced at the courtyard wall of the temple’s backyard, staring at the lights reflected by the many halls in the temple’s front yard, he paused slightly,

"I don't understand Buddhism, but I think that even if you let go of your obsessions, it may be difficult to achieve a positive result." Lian Ge said calmly, watching the lights in the front hall.

Hearing this, the old monk Juexing was silent for a while, and walked to Lian Ge's side,

"Also ask the benefactor to clear up the poor monk's confusion."

Hearing this, Lian Ge paused, glanced at the old monk Xing, and then continued:

"Perhaps you were cultivating in the backyard and didn't participate in the money-raising in the front hall, but if you were able to clean up in the backyard, you were enshrined in the money collected in the front hall. Tell me, can you achieve a positive result in cultivation?"

Hearing this, the old monk Juexing remained silent again, and also looked towards the front hall,

After a long time, the old monk Juexing turned around again and bowed to Lian Ge.

"Thank you benefactor for enlightenment."

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at Su Xing and didn't speak again.

Turning around, Lian Ge took out the underworld-style communicator in his pocket, and poured mana into it.

……

After a very short time,

"Meet the Celestial Master."

The nearest government official from the underworld appeared in front of Lian Ge, and bowed to salute him.

Hearing the sound, Lian Ge nodded slightly, then looked at Jue Xing who stood silently aside,

"Take this enlightened monk down."

"Yes, Heavenly Master."

Hearing the sound, the civil servants of the underworld responded immediately, then turned around and looked at the old monk Juexing,

"Monk Jue, I am an official of the Exit-Entry Administration Office of the Underworld, also known as a ghost messenger. I will be responsible for taking you to the Underworld. Come with me."

Hearing this, the old monk Juexing nodded first, then looked at the officials of the underworld, with a hint of hesitation and hope in his eyes,

"Benefactor, can the poor monk ask a question?"

Hearing this, the civil servants of the underworld did not answer, and turned to look at Lian Ge,

The old monk Juexing also looked at Lian Ge with pleading eyes.

Looking at the eyes of the old monk Juexing, Lian Ge nodded to the officials of the underworld.

"go ahead."

With Lian Ge's permission, the officials of the underworld looked at Monk Jue again,

"Benefactor, as a ghost messenger from the underworld, have you ever seen a Buddhist disciple who has achieved a good result be taken away by my Buddha?" The old monk Juexing revealed expectations in his eyes.

Hearing the words, the civil servants of the underworld looked at the old monk Juexing and replied:

"Since I was a ghost messenger, I have not seen it with my own eyes for more than 120 years. However, I heard from other ghost messengers that hundreds of years ago, there were eminent monks who were led away."

When the old monk Juexing heard the words, there was some brilliance in his cloudy eyes again, he clasped his hands together, bowed his head and recited:

"Amitabha……"

……

"Does the Heavenly Master have any other orders?"

The civil servants of the underworld bowed to Lian Ge and asked,

Hearing this, Lian Ge shook his head slightly.

"Teacher that day, the kid will take this monk down first."

"It's troublesome."

"Don't dare, it is my honor to serve the Celestial Master."

The civil servants of the underworld responded respectfully again, then took two steps back, and put their hands on Monk Jue's shoulders.

Immediately afterwards, the civil servants of the underworld disappeared suddenly together with the monk Jujue.

……

Seeing the figures of Monk Jue and Guicha disappearing from sight, Lian Ge turned his gaze back.

At this moment, two monks in gray robes pushed open the door of the meditation room and walked in.

Under the effect of the spell, the two monks turned a blind eye to Lian Ge who was right in front of them,

While talking, the two rummaged through the meditation room for things.

"...Hey, I guess I won't be able to sleep again tonight."

"Don't say a few words, you forgot, when you made a mistake last time, Master Uncle still spoke for you."

"Um……"

The two rummaged through the closet to find some robes and cassocks that the monk Jue had worn before, and each of them carried some, and stepped out of the meditation room again.

Lian Ge also passed the open door of the meditation room and returned to the courtyard.

yard,

As before, a group of believers and monks either bowed their heads and recited Amitabha Buddha, or recited sutras.

Monk Jue's body was still sitting cross-legged on the futon, but it was more stooped than before.

Monk Fakong was still sitting opposite the body of Monk Jue, chanting something.

Several monks in cassocks sitting beside them also lowered their heads, closed their eyes, and meditated with palms together.

After glancing at the backyard, Lian Ge looked away and walked towards the outside of Jingci Temple without stopping.

……

Stepping out of the backyard gate and passing by the brightly lit front yard hall, Lian Ge left Jingci Temple through the half-hidden temple gate just like when he came.

In front of the mountain gate, Lian Ge slightly stamped his feet, glanced at the Leifeng Pagoda opposite Jingci Temple, and at the bustling Lin'an city in the distance.

Instead of heading back towards Lin'an City, Lian Ge chose a direction at random and walked unhurriedly.

Time passed slowly.
