Chapter 599: The Way of Seeking Help
On the way here, I had been worried about whether the golden-clawed dragon carp was still alive. I never thought that it would lead the tribe to convert to Buddhism. Now that I was suddenly asked about the reason for my visit, I didn't know how to answer the most appropriate answer.
Zhang Mo saw that he was thinking anxiously, so he took the initiative to buy time for him, "Master, this is Li, the heroic prince of the Tang Dynasty. The three of us are here to discuss important matters with the master."
After Zhang Mo finished speaking, he saw that the lame monk had a suspicious look on his face, so he said to the big head on the side, "Send the prince's golden seal to the master for inspection."
Hearing Zhang Mo's words, he took out the gold seal from his waist bag and gave it to Datou, who climbed up the steps and handed it to the lame monk.
Seeing the big head approaching quickly, the monks behind the lame monk immediately became alert, and some even stood directly in front of the lame old monk.
The lame old monk waved his hand to everyone, indicating that they don't need to be nervous. When the big head presented the golden seal to its eyes, it did not reach out to accept it. It just lowered its head and then looked up, "The monks of Baofeng Temple and the people nearby are here."
The mountain people have little contact with the outside world, so what is the purpose of Your Majesty’s visit today?”
At this time, the clues have been sorted out. As the saying goes, the truth is always the right answer. Instead of beating around the bush, it is better to tell the truth. However, the golden-clawed dragon carp has converted to Buddhism, and the inducement that he had thought of before has no effect.
We can only find other ways.
"Dare you ask the master's name?" he asked.
"Namo Amitabha, Lao Na's Dharma name is Daoshun." The lame monk answered with his hands folded.
Asking for his dharma name is, firstly, to have a title, and secondly, to determine the person’s generation. There are seventy generations in the Xianzong. The eleventh to twentieth generations are Zhou Hongpu Guangzong and Daoqing Tongxuanzu. This person is named Dao.
It was two generations higher than Tongchen. When Tongchen saw it, he had to call it "Master-uncle."
"Master, I'll tell you the truth, we came here on orders to ask for help," Zhengse said, "Now there are Japanese Japanese invaders invading the border, harming our people in Central China, and destroying the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. Leave here."
Not far away, Gupo Mountain is where the Earthly Branches of the Dragon Veins of the Tang Dynasty are located. In order to destroy the Earthly Branches in Gupo Mountain, the foreign Japanese actually fed many children to the Black Snake, and tried to collude with the Black Snake to kill the Xianzong monks who came to protect the Earthly Branches."
Word after word, his voice was loud and his words were clear. Not only did he want Monk Daoshun to hear clearly, but he also wanted his tribe to know about it. If Daoshun refused to save him, his tribe might look down upon him. The reason why
It is said that the Japanese pirates wanted the black snake to attack the Xianzong monks, because they considered that Daoshun was also a Xianzong monk, and when the monks of the same sect were in trouble, it should help them.
Ask for help
There is a trick, that is, you must not wait for the other party to refuse verbally before pleading, because the other party will tell the reason for his refusal when he refuses. In this way, no matter how much the other party continues to plead, the other party will not be able to break his words and slap himself in the face.
, so when you ask someone for help, you must raise as much as possible before the other party expresses his attitude, and then raise again.
Without waiting for Daoshun to speak, he said again, "Although the whole world is not the land of the king, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers, the master is a great Buddhist. He has already jumped out of the three realms and is not in the five elements. He can not accept the imperial edict or listen to it.
According to the emperor's order, there are more than 60 Xianzong monks who came to protect the Earthly Branches this time. They are all purple-qi cultivators. If the master does not take action, these dozens of Xianzong monks will probably die in the mouth of the black snake.
.”
The reason why I only said that Shun would be in trouble if he didn't help the monks, but not that the people would suffer if it didn't take action, was because Dao Shun was a different kind, and the people had nothing to do with it. When asking for help, they must stand on the other side.
Consider the issue from your own standpoint. You can't just talk about how difficult it is for you. Your difficulty is something you asked for, and it's not caused by others. It's none of their business. You can't kneel on the ground and won't get up if they don't agree. This is purely unfair.
Moral kidnapping has no positive effect except making the other party feel that the person asking for help has no sense of propriety.
At this point, he quickly took a breath and continued, "The master is a great Buddhist sect. He is compassionate and does not commit murder. Naturally, we cannot destroy the master's conduct or mess up the master's state of mind. Therefore, we do not ask the master to fight.
Xuan She, I just ask the master to use his talent to open up a passage a hundred feet long, and leave the rest to us."
These words are to relieve Daoshun's psychological pressure. Although Daoshun is not a shallow person, he will definitely not be able to defeat the Black Snake. Otherwise, there is no need to plant snake-repelling herbs around the cliff mountain. Daoshun must know that he does not have to fight against the Black Snake.
You are risking your life, all you need is help digging the hole.
The monks around Daoshun were originally looking at the others. When the black snake was mentioned, their expressions changed obviously. But when it was mentioned that Daoshun did not need to do it himself, the monks looked at Daoshun one after another, which showed that they were already tempted.
, I just don’t know what Daoshun’s attitude is.
Seeing that Daoshun seemed to be unmoved, without waiting for him to speak, he said again, "Master, that black snake has been causing trouble for many years by killing and destroying lives. If we can get rid of it before it causes trouble, not only can dozens of prominent sects be saved,
The life of the eminent monk can also save the Weiyang Earthly Branch of Gupo Mountain, which is really a blessing to the world and creates
A great merit that brings blessings to all directions."
After saying that, he looked at Daoshun nervously. He had said everything he could say, but now there was nothing left to add. All that mattered now was Daoshun's attitude.
Daoshun clasped his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name again, and then said indifferently, "I am in Buddhism, and I have already lost everything. I am not distracted by the world of mortals, and I am not disturbed by worldly things. The donor should have gone earlier."
Seeing that he didn't speak immediately, Zhang Mo on the side said, "Master Daoshun, it is not cold-blooded that the four elements are empty. If dozens of eminent monks die because the master stood by and watched, how can the master feel at ease?"
"Everything has a cause and effect, and life and death are all determined," Daoshun said calmly, "If they pass away from now on, it is due to cause and effect and has nothing to do with me."
Having said that, not only were the others disappointed, but the monks around him also looked depressed. They were keenly aware of this and hurriedly winked at the boss.
Datou stepped forward to present the golden seal before, but the answer was not accepted, so he retreated to the right. Seeing his eyes, he immediately understood and said loudly, "Master, on the way here, I saw that there are snake-repelling herbs planted near the cliff mountain.
It seems that you are often bullied by the mysterious snake. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. Why don't you want to help? Is it possible that you are frightened by the mysterious snake?"
"Namo Amitabha." Daoshun clasped his hands and chanted the Buddha.
I don’t really like to deal with monks, because when they have nothing to say, they will say Amitabha, which can not only cover up the embarrassment, but also highlight the profoundness. This Amitabha is simply worth a thousand pieces of gold.
"If you don't mind Amitabha, just tell me if that black snake ever bullied you?" Datou asked.
"The Black Snake has indeed hurt the tribe many times, and I fought with it many times in my early years," Daoshun said. "But now that I am in Buddhism, chanting sutras and reciting the Buddha's name, I have clearly seen the true nature of the Black Snake.
, I should not have the same understanding as him, and the benefactor’s intention to inspire the generals is in vain.”
"Oh my God," Big Head shouted loudly, waving his little arms, "I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen such shameless people. Black Snake is born with a bad temper, so it should be spoiled? You are its father.
Yeah? If you can't beat me, just say you can't beat me. You have to say that you don't have the same knowledge as others, but you want to know the same as others. Can you beat them?"
Daotou's words made Daoshun look livid, and all the monks beside him were furious, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Am I talking nonsense? No.
Ah, what I said is all the truth," Big Head said loudly, "Only if you can beat someone can you have the right to say that you are not as knowledgeable as others. If you can't beat someone, you have no right to say this. I'm just a coward. Damn it.
hypocritical."
"How outrageous!" A monk jumped out angrily and made a move.
"What do you want to do?" Da Tou stepped forward without fear at all, "I am the general of the imperial court. If you make me angry, I will summon officers and soldiers to burn down your home. Damn it!"
"Don't be rude!" He glared angrily.
Hearing the words, Datou hurriedly lowered his head.
"Back off!" He yelled again.
The big head stepped back in response.
Da Tou sang blackface, and he was indeed very good at singing blackface. His words tore off every inch of people's fig leaves. In addition, he deliberately shouted loudly, so that all the monks and nearby tribesmen could hear clearly.
No matter how pure Chu and Daoshun are in their six sense organs and their four elements are empty, they still can't bear to lose their face in front of their clan members.
This is also a great skill for asking for help. In front of the other person's family, if the other person refuses, the family may have a bad opinion of the person. The other person may not care about the person asking for help, but they will definitely care about how their own family members view them.
Own.
Seeing that the time was about to come, he immediately added the blow, "Master Daoshun, you must have your own difficulties. We will not force others to do anything. We will leave now and look for other methods. We will definitely remove the mysterious snake and restore your peace.
"
"Namo Amitabha." Daoshun clasped his hands and chanted the Buddha.
Datou thought there was something going on, but he didn't expect Dao Shun to show up again. In desperation, he could only fight and make a last-ditch effort, "My lord, haven't you seen it yet? It clearly knows that killing the black snake can protect the people."
Our own people are greedy for life and afraid of death and dare not take action. They just want us to do our best while they hide behind and take advantage."
Don't say who has a good temper. No one has a good temper even if he is not angry enough. But if he is angry enough, no one has a bad temper. Big Tou's words directly became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The monks around Shun jumped out one after another, surrounded the three of them, and started to take action.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Daoshun could no longer hold back and shouted angrily, "Stop!"
Those monks who transformed into dragons and carps were in awe of Daoshun. Even if they heard Daoshun's words, they could only return angrily even though they were unwilling to do so.
